Saturday, December 21, 1940 REED STREET HIGH SCHOOL NEWS (Prof. S. C. Perry, Principal) Dear Readers: Maybe it has been a long time since you have heard from us, but we have not been idle or asleep quite the contrary. We have had one of the most colorful and eventful half terms of the school's history. Our scholastic work has moved forward with zest and enthusiasm. ~ The records show that the various classes, under the guidance of some of the most capable and efficient teachers, South jCarolint', North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Illinois Florida. Ohio, and New York could afford, are progressing: m a rvelqusly. The unit worked out by the Ele meqiary department of our school and exhibited at the county fair _ att.i t cted wide attention, and com plimentory criticisms from everyone, and the highest praises from school critics, who were best quali fied to judge. The theme was: "Preparing for Defense." The gen , erai aims were to snow tnat oui lines of defense were, (1) Our 1 wealth of natural resources, (2) "Our products, (3) Our man power, (4) Our betlef in God, our country and ourselves, (5) A united j people in a united government. Our athletic department, under the efficient management of Prof T. B. Williams,"Broun," assisted by the grectest line traiper South , Carolina has, Prof. J. W. "Chuck" Riley, with principal Perry guid ing and advising from the office Reed Street high team again has come through with colors flying as the worthy Upper State Champ Ions. * i Too much praise cannot be given these Blue Devils. They had a tough schedule, playing 7 games winning 6. The 7th' ending in a tie with coich Lrnehardt's Sterling Tigers. /Sterling and Reed Street have played for a number of years and each year they are eager to meet each other. Principals Beck and 4\*rr\ ?v!nr>/^lir vivolc For the last two years these two teams have tied. Last year 6-6, this yetr, 0-0. They decided to play an after-conference game in the beautifully lighted Reed Street stadium, and settle the con m-., test once and for all. They fought 1 hard, each team tryrng desperately to win. The first half the Blue De* vils came to the Sterling one yarcl line and could not get over. In the second half Sterling Tigers started those ariel passes. In the k st two minutes of play Sterling threw a beautiful pass, at this moment "The most dramatic climax," as . . Mrs. Perry would say. Everybody was standing, cheer leaders quiet, policemen forgot law and order dignified white spectators standing breathless, Prof. Beck a "Beet Red," Stewart chewing speedily on a piece of gum, "Brown" and "Chuck" walking upf~and down, Prof. Perry puffing on his fifth cigar. As the pass sailed through the air with the greatest of ease and landed in the hands of two Sterling men, one fumbling, the -* other catching.?The?eoaeh?ruled this illegal and called the ball back The tension wi s broken, the crowd went wild! Reed Street's ball. Harp er threw a long pass. Sterling's <74) caught the pass. On the next play Sterling threw another Ion.? pass and was received! Two Reed Street Devils downed him on the two yard line. At the conclusion of the next play the whisttle blew! December 10, 1940, 10 p. m. left the Tigers and Blue Devrls still not decided as which team is better. The score, as you've guessed. ??was 0-0. ? " *, Just two years ago our trustee* and our good friend, Mr. McGhee told our principi 1 ihat they would {jive him nis wisnes, a n,-'nieu smdium with seats amphitheater styled and did he Jthmk we could pay for them. Prof. Perry, being a fearless, courageous man, ac ? cepted gratefully and relayed the news. The citizens of Anderson in the typical Anderson way, supported 100 percent and today the lights, costing almost $1,000, are paid for, a new bus purchased anpaid for. Prof. Perry is .srratefu: to the people of Anderson and sur rounding towns for their splendid support. The coaches announce that agair the Blue iJevi'ls are invited to Mi ami to play tne colored urange Bowl High School frame. Gee! Devils, you are tops. Your Reporter, Mrs. P. J.

Ethel L. Williams, Reporter Tri-County Garden Club Organizes ; Monday evening, December 9. 1 1940, reprosentattives of Tvarti- < culture societies in the counties ot 1 New/berry, Laurens, and Union, assembled at C. C. Camp S. C. F ' G, Newberry, S. C., in response to < an invitation by Mr. William M Parker, educataiona] director of the 1 camp. The purpose of the meeting i was to organize a Tri-County Garden Club. The glowing interest in flowers i nd shrubs is marked it this section. Many garden projects < are being started by enthusiastic members ' After the singing of America 1 the group was welcomed by Mr Pikston, camp commander. Each person present introduced < himself to the group. These were from Newberry, Me3sers William M. Parker, C. W.- Jones, and U. S. Gallman; from Clinton, Mr. J. i W! Minis; Mesdames Bessie Henry, Maggie Mims, Lila Adair, Maxie Griffin, St lly K?ttr>dy;hH o j Octavia CnpalimH?irrfrTHTrrthn E Ferguson; Misses Helen C. Wal- 1 ker, Dorothy Lomax, Claudia E Dorrah, and Lillian Lawrence; from Union. Mesdames R. C. Pride, Sara L. Humphries, Janie G. Doui?jas, and Ethel G. Sims; Misses Sultana E. Dawkins and Mammie J. Abranis. 1 A discussion led by Mr. Parkur. was entered into concerning the field of horticulture, its value and i suggestive projects for study and interest. During the course of the i discussion much information was given regardmfcr the types of soil, fertilizers, and plants which arc both ^familiar and foreign to us? The need for .a garden calendar made especiilly for this section was expressed. A research com- ] mittee was appointed later on in the evening which was instructed i to form such a calendar telling i what flowers to plant in January, February, and March, how and where to plant them and their cultivation. ] , The other officers elected were President, Mr. Pi.rker; first vice < president, Mrs. Maggie Mims; sec ond vice president, Mrs. R. C. , Pride; recording secretary, Miss , Li-Ilian Lawrence; correspondine secretary, Miss Sultana Dawkins; treasurer, Mrs. U. S. Gallman. At the. next monthly meeting to , be held January*?, we return to the camp to accept the hospitality to i the young men of C. G. Camp S. C F. 6 and in particular that of the ckss in -horticulture, a group of ten men seriously interested in the propagation of "plants. Refreshments were served by the voung men after which a trip was made to the green house where each person was given as a souvenir, a delphinium plant, which will ba guarded carefully and cherished in memory of a very pleasant meeting. STERLING HIGH HAS "DREAM TEAM" One of those kind of teams that every coach dreams about; Yes! that's the kind of tesm that Sterling high school has. A team that can play in mUd or on sfrft turf. A team that gain yardage on the best of them. With one lost game to mar an otherwise perfect season Sterling claims one of the best teams, not only in South Caroliha. but in the entire South. The Tigers swept through the Piedmont Athletic Association teams without loss, and played such teams as Booker Washington of Atlanta, Ga.; Schofield of Aikens; Stevens Lee of Asheville, N Ctt and Emmett Scott of Rock; Hill, S. C. " The' Tigers rolled up a total of, 172 points to their opponents .181 points, a record that any team could be proud of. The coaching staff is as fol lows: head coach^ D. J. Lenhardt, formerly of Benedict College; assistants, J. R. Edwin's of State College, and J. R. Brockman of Benedict. Members of the first team are C. l)avrs, center; K. D. Flemmings ind D. Qiapman, tackles; Black. C Smith, ends; II. Rosemond, B. Marigr.y, R. Heard and T.~ Kerns, backs; F. Chapman and J. Mathis guards; second team i nd capable reserves are T. Biddings, B. Moss I. Thomas, E. Blackman, F. Mayes C. Seaborn. S. Barksdale, T. Brad ford, F. Hill, R. Dickson, and W. Warren. The record of Sterline high < school Timers after dropping theji initial game to Hooker Washing ton of Atlanta, Ga., by a sco,-t of 24-0, re superb. Hitting theii stride they cime back to take Laurens 26-0, tied Reid St. 0-0 beat back a stuborn Schofield team" 12-0, heat Stevens Ta:e of AshcVflle. 9-8, smothered Brewer of Greenwood 39-6, tied Haines of Augusta, Ga. 0-0, swamped Emmett Scott of Rock\Hill 46-0, and mowed down Bell St. of Clinton 40-0. This smooth clicking machine of Sterling is really a coach's dream Sterling has not lost to a single South Carolina team and this is certainly some kind of championship.
