Escapees From
Fire Tell Of ,
Night’s Horrors
By MRS. A. H.COUNTS
Roomers in the Palmetto Room
ing House, which burned Sunday
in the early morning hours, told
of being awakened by crackling
flames and choking smoke.
They fled in their nightclothes
without stopping to gather any
personal possessions as they
sought to escape.
Howard Rappe said from his
hospital bed, “I awoke and heard
the fire crackling. The smoke
was billowing all around my
room. The heat was so strong I
could not open my door, so l
jumped from my window to an
alley below.
*T hurt my feet since I had to
leave my shoes behind. I lay in
the alley for about 30 minutes un-

til someone came and carried me
to the hospital.”
Mrs. Nellie Griffin, proprietress
of the rooming house, said “one
of my roomers called for me to
follow her out the back door. I
started, but stumbled. The smoke
was so stifling and the heat so
severe I could not go on.”
“I tried to crawl to the front
entrance. The floor was so hot I
was burned. Two men came and
carried me out.”
Mrs. Irene Reese, 57, a room
er, said, “I awoke and heard a
terrible noise of cracking glass
and people screaming. Smoke was
filling my room and when I open
ed the door to my room, smoke
and heat forced me back.”
“I felt I was trapped but I made
my way down the hall to the back
steps. I can’t recall coming down
the steps* I remember sitting
down at the entrance of the form
er Edens Store building about 60
feet away, then I went on to the
home of Mrs. Ida Martin in the
next block.”
“Mrs. Martin gave me a house
coat to put on since I was dressed
only in my night clothes.”
Fire Chief Sam Beam said “it
was a horrible sight. Fire and
smoke were billowing from every
crack and crevice. People were
leaning out of the windows beg*
ging and pleading to be carried
down.”
“I think the boys (the fire
men) did a mighty good job in
keeping the fire to that one build
ing and in helping the people get
out,” the chief said.
Chief Beam said the fire was
the worst in Newberry since the
Lominack Hardware fire about 20

Term Begins Monday
At Opportunity
School in Columbia
The South Carolina Opportunity
School in West Columbia, the
state’s “second chance” school
for adults who did not complete
elementary or high school, will
begin its spring semester on Mon
day, January 21. Students will ar
rive at the school on Sunday,
January 20, for assignment to
dormitories, with registration tak
ing place the following day.
Monday and Tuesday all stu
dents will take standardized tests
to determine class placement. The
tests will indicate the progress
made by students who are re-reg-
istering, and the educational level
of new students, insuring for them
class assignments best suited to
their needs. Standardized testing
at the Opportunity School serves
two important functions: it en
ables students to receive credit
for knowledge acquired informal
ly, and it permits students to ad
vance as rapidly as their ability
and industry warrant, regardless
of the length of time they have
attended the school. , -
During the first semester of:
the 1956-57 school year, just end
ing, 241 regular students (day
and night) were enrolled in the
school. In additional, there were
25 “special” students enrolled in
woodworking, art, ceramics, and
similar special-interest courses—
a total of 266.
The Opportunity School offers
instruction leading directly to the
State High School Certificate
test, as well as classes in basic
education from first-grade level
upward. Students must be 16
years of age but there is no up
per limit, and grandparents, fre
quently enroll in order to acquire
education missed during youth.
State-operated and tax support
ed, the Opportunity School , has a
college campus or boarding school
atmosphere. Its buildings are
connected by covered corridors,
reminders that the structures
were once part of the Columbia
Army Air Base hospital before
being deeded to the state for
school purposes.
The school has its own farm
which produces table products
and also some for commercial
markets. There is a spacious rec
reation hall under professional
supervision, and a well-stocked
library.
Adults interested in attending
the spring semester at the Op
portunity School, its one-month
summer session, or the 1957 fall
term, should write to Dr. Wil Lou
Gray, director, the Opportunity
School, West Columbia, S. C.
