County's General Fund
Surplus Said $77,844
Laurens County ended fiscal
1062-63 on June 30 with a general
fund surplus of $77,844.24, audi
tors said last week.
An earlier estimate made by
county officials in July, had in
dicated the surplus would be only
about $48,000.
The auditing firm of C. C. Mc
Gregor and Co. of Columbia, no
tified members of the Laurens
County Legislative Delegation of
the surplus in a letter to State
Sen. King Dixon and Reps. Mar

been completed,” the auditors
said, “the work has progressed
sufficiently that a determination
has been made of the general
county fund surplus at June 30,
1963.”
The surplus of $77,844.24, “sub
ject to direct confirmation of the
various balances on deposit by
the traesurer,” is compared to a
surplus of $65,806.80 for the pre
vious fiscal year, the auditors
said.
At least a substantial part of
the surplus apparently will be
used for purchase of road work
equipment for County Supervisor
Furman Thomason and for re
pairs to the Laurens County
Court House. Although not speci
fied in the current county supply
bill, members of the delegation
agreed verbally to provide funds
for those purposes from any sur
plus in the general fund.

Welcome back to school!
I suppose all CHSers have al
ready gotten, or are getting
ready to get, into the swing of
school life again.
I hope none of you freshmen
had too hard a time finding your
way around the maze of CHS
halls today. Next week those
same halls won’t seem at all like
a maze; as a matter of fact, in
a couple of weeks you’ll feel like
you’ve been at CHS all your life.
And boys, I hope you won’t
have too much trouble getting off
all that lipstick and Mercuro-
Chrome. We must make you feel
welcome, you know!
This summer has been a busy
one for most CHSers. Almost
everyone has made trips to either
mountains, the lake, or the
beach and some lucky ones have
taken trips as far as California
and Canada. Others have stayed
home to attend summer school,
work on correspondence courses,
or work in stores or plants or
around the house.
Most CHS clubs and organiza
tions have been active this sum
mer too. < .
The FHA, sponsored by Airs.
Jean Bouknight, and the FFA,
sponsored by Mr. Avery Smith,
both made trips to the beach to
attend week-long camping ses
sions.
For the past two weeks our
brave football players have been
training to get ready for our fall
football schedule of games.
Last week the cheerleaders
sponsored a clinic for freshmen
interested in becoming cheer
leaders. The upper-class cheer
leaders worked with the fresh
men, teaching them the cheers
and routines, Monday through
By DISHIE DELANY
Friday. Then on Friday the
freshmen performed for a facul
ty committee which selected the
finalists, two of whom will be
chosen in a school-wide election
to represent CHS for their four
years in school.
Last week the Red Devil Band
attended a week-long band camp,
held this year at Camp Fellow-
hsip. They had a week of music
and marcihng practice climaxed
by a concert for the parents.
Last Thursday and Friday
members of the Transportation
club partipicated in a pre-school
driver training program in which
they practiced driving and held
discussions cm school bus safety.
