Bell St. Highlights
iraralSlNull] FARMS and FOLKS
BY MICHAEL K. DARBINS
During last week I had the
pleasure of interviewing some of
the students here at Bell Street
High on their feelings of how
the guidance department can help
or has helped them and the school
as a whole. It was a very in
teresting and beneficial exper
ience for the and I hope that
in the future more such inter
views can be conducted.
In the interview I talked with
members of the Senior, Junior,
Sophmore and Freshmen classes.
The Senior had this to say:
“Our Guidance Counselor, Mrs.
A. R. Barksdale, is very helpful
in assisting students in making
decisions of what courses to take,
what extracurricular activities
best fit their needs, and what
careers they should choose. li
you need information or help ir
solving your problems, go in and
talk to her.'
The Junior made these com
ments: “The members of my
class and I feel that counsel
ing is an important part of our
school. It provides a way to
get certain problems solved. I
believe that if more students
would go in for counseling, we
would have less problems in our
school.'
These are the remarks of the
Sophmore: “I don’t feel that a
student should be afraid to have
a conference with the guidance
counselor. The counselor is
there to help with any problems
that a student has which might
interfere with his school work.'
The last person to be inter
viewed was a freshman and he
had this to say about the gui
dance department: “I feel that
the guidance department is an
essential part of the school. It
is there not only to assist in
academic problems, but also in

adjusting to requirements of high
school learning. ’
He went further to say, 'Idpo’t
think that anyone should have any
fears about going in for coun
seling. The average student
thinks that if he is called in
for an interview, he had done
something wrong, but this is not
true. Often the guidance coun
selor brings you good and ben
eficial news.'
While conducting the interview
it seems that all four inter
viewees had one common opin
ion. They all seem to be in
agreement about how helpful and
beneficial the guidance depart
ment is. I would like to add
to what has been mentioned by
saying that, “I do not believe that
a student should wait to be called
for a conference, but he should
have enough interest to go in
for a conference on his own.'

BY HAROLD ROGERS
Assistant Extension Editor
CLEMSON - South Carolina
folks reaching for an expression
of comparative height can for
get that “as high as a Georgia
pine' business.
We have some pretty tall pines
in the Palmetto State too.
In fact, the tallest recorded
tree in the state is a pine, a white
pine in Oconee County which
stretches 165 feet into the Caro
lina sky.
That makes it55yards--more
than half the length of a foot
ball field.
The Oconee beacon is among
the state’s biggest trees check
ed out by S. C. foresters in co
operation with a nation-wide “big
tree' program. The foresters
have found at least 16 trees in
the state topping the 100-foot
mark, five of them pines. They
have also come up with 10 giants
having a limb spread of over 100
feet.
The program is a part of the
“Social Register of Big Trees,'
maintained by the American For
estry Association.
The listing gives each state
an opportunity not only to keep
an updated inventory of its own
outstanding trees, but to com
pare them with others around the
country.
Since the program started in
this state foresters have logged
many miles through swamps,
hills and flatlands to search out
and measure trees possibly qua
lifying for honors.
A list has been compiled cov
ering 76 tree species, with di
mensions of the biggest in each
category.
The champs range from the
165-foot pine in Oconee to an 18-
foot tree-sparkleberry, in the
same county.
Trees are measured for height,
circumference and limb spread.
The circumference is taken 4.5
feet from the base. The biggest
in this category is a mountain
sized cypress in Orangeburg
County which measured 29 feet
and nine inches. It also topped
out at 122 feet high and had a
limb spread of 60 feet -- a pretty
good sized tree also.
Largest overall sprawl was
chalked up for a live oak in
Dorchester County which has a
limb spread of 141 feet.
How does S. C. rate in the na
tion-wide “battle of the biggest?’
We’ve come up with five nat
ional champions and one co
champ.
A 40-foot tall Southern crab
apple on Par km an Drive in Co
lumbia is the largest of its kind
in the country, and the nation’s
champion laurel oak is a 126-
foot tall giant in Berkeley Coun
ty.
Georgetown County boasts
three of the national winners, two
of them in Brookgreen Gardens.
The three are a 33-foot tall red
buckeye, an 86-foot swamp gum
and a 38-foot laurel cherry.
Holding national co-champion
honors is a 125-foot spruce pine
near Mt. Holly in Berkeley Coun
ty.
The program has drawn a lot
of interest over the state.
Every county has its'bragging
trees,’ and there are always peo
ple interested in seeing that they
are logged. 'We’ve had a lot of
people nominate trees for the
list,’ says W. J. Barker, Clem-
son University Extension fores
ter.
“Most of the entries,' he says,
“are suggested by folks who re
call that, ‘that was a big tree when
I was a boy.’ "
The Extension forester asks
those knowing of exceptional-size
trees to report them to their
county agents.
ment,’ he says, “and if they wiU
let their county agent know about
them he will either take care of
the measuring or pass the word
along the forestry folks.'
