The Chronicle, for one, will
be delighted to learn that the
“Chronicle Publishing Co.’’
not only promised “first
class work’’ but declared that
‘you will get it when prom-

one when promised is one of-
tie -rules of this office.’’ Eur-
ermore, the ideal of perfec
tion was thrown down like a
medieval gauntlet: “We do
all kinds* of printing except
bad.’’) (The Chronicle office
at that time was located op
posite Bailey’s Bank — possi

Check me if I’m wrong).
The ’17 PAC SAC (PC’s an

tent at Scaife’s Book Store,
which, regretably, no longer
exists. (Query: No Scaifes are
listed in the current telephone
directory — who was the Mr.,
Mrs., or Miss Scaife who dis
pensed culture to our parents,
at the sametime guaranteeing
prices “as low as can be se
cured anywhere”?
Today’s car enthusiasts will
be astonished to learn that
Mr. E. W. Ferguson offered
various models of Ford “the
Univexsal Car” at such prices,
(f.o.b. Detroit) as $390, $440,
and $590 — and if you really
wanted to put on the dog, Mr.
Ferugson’s Garage could pro
vide you with its most expen
sive line, the Sedan, for an
outrageous $740. (There was
no federal or state sales tax
in those golden years, and no
body had to stand a driver’s
examination, or pay for a li
cense either).
Sadler - Owens Pharmacy
was located in the Union
Station; and Mr. Jno. T.
Young of “The City Pharma
cy” could set you up with
“the Best That’s Made” —
Eastman Kodaks, Whitman’s
Candies, Waterman’s fountain
pens, and “the best soda
served anywhere.” (I seem to
recall black wire chairs, mar
ble-top tables, gently rotating
blades of ceiling fans — which
somehow made grape juice
in crushed ice on a hot sum
mer afternoon tastier than
one is nowadays)
Then, as now, Nichols made
good photographs.
The Clinton Cafe made
“homemade candies” right in

possibly have been the young

came'from Greece, who in the
late 20s and the 30s prepared
the tangiest, hottest meat and
onidn sauce any hotdog was
ever blessed with? One of his
charming daughters, Mary,
was voted Miss Clinton one
year /— was it 1936, ’37?
In 1917 Dr. Davidson Mc
Dowell Douglas was PC’s
The. Misses Essie Elizabeth
Davidson, Alliene Hipp (now
M/-S. Gibson), and Myrtle
Norman (now Mrs. William
son). All Of the seniors were
South Carolinians} though
some came ’from as far qway
as Columbia, Bishopviile and
Oswego. One member of the
graduating class, Roger Coe,
in later years was to “be a
faculty member himself, and
become a person of national
distinction in the field of edu
cation.
The handsome young Wal
ter Johnson .was Director of
Athletics, and another/^ fine
looking young gentlemai
lie St. Clair Hayes,
and coming M.D., not long
returned from Columbia Uni

phone call combined communications technology with
marftie biology. Participants in the conversation were
“Speedy," a trained porpoise at Marineland of the
Pacific, and “Splash,” his counterpart at Marineland
of Florida. The two porpoises squeaked, chirped and
whistled to each other over the 2,500 miles of tele
phone lines that separated them. Each listened in
tently to the other, with only occasional interruptions.
Fortunately, a porpoise is a mammal, so no one should
accuse me of telling a fish story.

her it was a Seaboard Airline

World W’ar I seems o have
made small impact on the
Golden >’lass. for no mention
of it is made of it in the 1917
classhook. Nor
mention
made of the murder of Aus-

spring. Economics, however,
is touched on. The South was
still basically an agrarian
standhold, and Cotton was the

HANDWRITING ON THE WALL ... The voice soon
became very familiar to the Information Operator.
The same lady kept calling, fairly often, asking for a
different number each time. Finally sensing that
she was being recognized, the. lady apologized. “Ope
rator, I’m sorry to ke^p* calling you, but they just pa
pered my room and covered up all my numbers.”
The lady had the right idea, to save time and avoid
dialing errors. But we think a personal phone book
would have been much handier—and much less likely
to be wallpapered!:
