They began on February 4. With a letterman backfield re turning from last year, things are on the bright side there. The story along this line is a bleak one, particularly at tackles. With only one experienced tackle out for spring practice, line Coach Billy Tiller has had to call on several guards in order to fill the gap left by graduation and other factors. Only Sam Ly ons, ' a sophomore letterman, played any tackle for the Hose last year. Borrowing from the well-stocked guard position, Tiller has John Monk, who letter ed at linebacker, Jimmy Cape, who lettered at guard, and Dick Staley, working on the conver sion from guard to tackle. PC’s letterman backfield is what Coach Gault enjoys talking about. With three lettermen quar terbacks, two lettermen fullbacks and one who just missed letter ing, and five lettermen halfbacks out for the practice sessions, things look real fine. Several boys who played some, but did not letter are also back out for backfield positions. Counted on heavily this season will be veteran quarterback Leighton Grantham. This junior, from Easley, will ho doubt start at the quarterback position. A lot of passes have been thrown by Leighton in his previous years of varsity ball, and it is expected that a lot more will be thrown this year. Ready to help out Grantham are lettermen Jackie Nix and Olin Grant, both of whom are outstanding quarter backs. In the backfield with Grantham will be Randy JVfcCranie, Sam Williams, and Ronnie Morris at fullback. McCranie, a bruising runner and ah outstanding block er, will begin his fourth year as a starting fullback in top shape, with a knee injury apparently healed. Morris, who was injured and was not able to play any hall last year, is expected to help McCranie a great deal at full back. Williams, who played some, but not quiteenough to let ter, is remembered for his runs against Furman and Troy State. Apparently down several times, Williams kept driving to make substantial gains in both games. The halfbacks include letter- men Wade Stewart, Don McNeill, Rut Galloway, Jim Tbhnson, and Sandy Hagood. These five boys make up the “speed corps” of PC’s ground attack. All have played outstanding ball for the Blue Hose in the past, and all are counted on to do the same „this year. Coaches Gault, Tiller, Vickers Speaks On Need for Modern Educational Plants W. B. Southerlin, Schoolhouse Planning Supervisor for the State Educational Finance Commis sion, was the guest speaker at the Hampton Avenue Parent- Teacher meeting Tuesday eve ning, February 4, at the school auditorium. Mr. Southerlin spoke on the need for modern facilities and adequate buildings in a good educational program. In stating some of the reasons why an up-to-date building is desirable, Mr. Southerlin said that much of the modern equip ment being used in today’s edu cational program cannot be used effectively in the old type struc tures. This limits the program of teaching, and in many cases prevents technological advances which are demanded by today’s worid. Progress must exist in education as well as in business and industry, he declared. Mr. Southerlin also pointed out that-when industry is looking for an area to establish a new plant, it seeks one with good, modern schools, not only for the sake of the children of its workers, but also as a source of its future la bor supply. He cited several in stances in which the condition of the schools had played a direct part in bringing new industry to a town. He emphasized the fact when good schools are present in community, and therefore the entire community should be con cerned about the condition of its school buildings. In noting some of the existing conditions at Hampton Avenue, Mr. Southerlin expressed par ticular concern over the lack of space in all facilities — class rooms, lunch room, and play ground. The minimum space re quirements, according to modern standards, are not being met. There is crowding in every phase of the school’s program, and Hampton Avenue is so situated that expansion is impossible. Even if it were, he said, it would be an unwise investment, because of the age and general condition of the structure.*He Recommend ed that a building program be undertaken as soon as possible. At the request of members of the PTA, a committee is now be ing formed to study the needs and to make recommendations for a new school building. ’ GOV.
