Boyd As First President (This article on the Kiwanis club, Clinton’s oldest civic or ganization, is the first of a se ries of articles on civic clubs of this city which will be carried in The Chronicle.) • o • In a year when Kiwanis Inter national puts special emphasis on its 40th anniversary, the Clinton Kiwanis club marks its 32nd birthday of service. It is Clin ton’s oldest civic organization. The years have seen a steady growth from the original 20 members to the present mem bership of 74, and they have brought an outstanding record of service to the community. July 17 will be the official an niversary date of the Clinton Kiwanis club. It was on that day back in 1923 that the organi zation received its charter, pre- sentde by .the Columbia club. That first meeting place was in the basement of Simpson’s Fur niture Store, with the 20 charter members present, and they elect ed the late Butler H. Boyd the first president. At this time, there were only three or four Kiwanis clubs in South Carolina, so the Clinton organization ranks among the oldest in the state. Only three of those 20 charter members remain today. They are L. B. Dillard, R. E. Fergu son, Sr., and F. C. Pinson. The most recent loss from among the original group came with the death of W. W. Harris. A favorite meeting place dur ing the early years of the club was a room in the Clinton Hotel which is now occupied by Ma son’s Barber Shop. From here the meeting place shifted to the hotel’s central dining room, then to the Presbyterian College din ing hall and immediately after World War II and finnaly to the present location at the Hotel Mary Musgrove. One of the biggest single events in the history of the Clin ton group came in July, 1948, when the club cleebrated its 25th anniversary, A salute of achieve ment was presented through a historical program which cover ed the life of the club and was designed to reflect its spirit, its civic undertakings, fellowship, community goodwill and support of worthy projecst. One of the biggest of these projects through the years has been the annual support given Thornwell orphanage. This sup port was re-emphasized only last month when the club presented Thornwell President Malcolm Macdinald with a check for more than $1,000—the amount raised through the successful Commun ity barebcue-bazaar. The club also maintains Boy Scout Troop 116 and gives its support to the children's library located on the second floor of the Presbyterian College library building, providing this worthy civic function with books sev eral times each year. Among the other Kiwanis projects are the sending of representatives to Palmetto Boys State and Girls State, and assistance in the city recreation program. Clinton has contributed its share of fhe leaders to the Ninth Division of the Carolinas District. Four men of this club have serv ed as lieutenant-governor of the division: John Holland Hunter, in 1935, W. W. Harris in 1941, Ratchford Boland in 1950, and now Reese Young in 1955. The present officers of the Clinton Kiwanis club are: Robert M. Vance, president; Reese Young, vice-president; and G. Edward Campbell, secretary- treasurer. They follow in the footsteps of a long line of offi cers, headed by these presidents: 1-923—B H. Boyd (deceased); 1924—Edward Long; 1925 — W. W. Harris (deceased); 1926—W. H.
