ROLL CALL: High School attended and year graduated.
- Thread starter Freddie.B.Cocky
- Start date
McClenaghan (Florence) '69..... building is still around (keeps getting repurposed), but the kids now go to West Florence, South Florence, & Wilson. We had over 400 in graduating class, so it was a 3A classification (before 4A came along, I think). Rivals were Darlington, Sumter, Camden, and various Columbia schools. It was a great time to come of age.
You still in Barnwell? My wife's cousin plays softball for Barnwell. They are very good
Yes our girls went undefeated but I think they lost out in the lower state...pretty young team that should be even better next year!
my wifes cousin is Kelcey Brown, she is a pretty good player. I believe she is a sophomore this year
I was at rock hill until 971 where I transferred to goose creek to graduate in 73
She's the best player! I use to coach her when she was younger...She has D1 skills!
Freddie,
I used to date Brenda Brown who was Miss Parker HS and I believe she was in your class. Do you remember her?

My mother was Garnet...her sister was named Libby, brother Curtis, and youngest sister Ellen.
My sister Libby knew Garnet. I believe they lived in Bay View in 53-54. We lived there 6 months during 53-54 before moving back to town on King St. in the spring.
Libby passed two years ago in Tallahassee.
Garnet passed in 2012.....huge gamecock fan...we still visit Georgetown....have a place nearby
Yes, I remember her. I didn't know her on a personal level but she was a very pretty girl. I thought Brenda was one of those girls that were just naturally pretty and didn't need any help with cosmetics to enhance her natural beauty. Plus, she was very regal and had the personality to match it as well.
You must have been one cool dude to have been fortunate enough to have dated Brenda.
No I wasn't cool but back then it was cool to date someone from another high school. Brenda had the looks alright but was a little on the quiet side. Today I would see that as a virtue.
Oh, I think it would be very much a virtue today and even back in the '60s, too.

I grew up in Easley but my mother was from Pickens and her maiden name was the same as the barber on Main St.
Dad started the Pickens County Museum and wrote for the Sentinel . The guy that ran the BBQ place on Ann St is a cousin. Another cousin coached the PHS volleyball team that were state champs.
Absolutely. First year they shut down Emmett Scott. That area has grown so fast. What now 3 high schools
Wow. Geez. I feel old compared to you youngsters. Boiling Springs High School which was more than a little bit country in 1960. Peaches, cotton and textiles ruled.
3 public and 1 private in RH. Fort Mill has 2 schools now and I think between them they had over 800 graduates. They're talking about a 3rd school. I came on campus to get my girl friend during the riot. I was a freshman at USC-Lancaster at the time. Cal Burleston caught me and said he'd have me arrested if he caught me on campus again.
Racial riot. Rock Hill had 3 high schools in 1965. They closed Winthrop Training School and put those students in RHHS. They started moving students from the black school, Emmett Scott at the same time. They also moved RHHS out of the high school building and put the 10th thru 12th grade in a junior high building. ES's last graduating class was 1970. In 1971, they had combined all 3 schools, over 2000 students in a junior high built for 1500. A riot that made national news was the result.
Kings Mountain Senior High School, Kings Mountain, NC - 1990 (Go Mountaineers!!! Beat Shelby!!!!!) 
Polk High Panthers, 1966
Fullback - four touchdowns in one game.
Fullback - four touchdowns in one game.
WOW! That was really something. At first, I thought you might have been talking about a riot at a sporting event. I have seen some of those over the years.
After reading all these posts I think I may be the youngest on here.
