ond season, as the PC mentor, this fall,
and his staff are conducting the
4-a-week workouts until March
7. 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.

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.
