1. Bill and Connie Timmons with their children. Their custom limousine, affectionately known as "the Timmons bus," was a familiar sight in the school's early years. Tracy Timmons Hardaway ’64 recalled that Headmaster Rufus Bethea suspended her for three days for driving the car to school without a license one day when their mother was sick. "She got mad," Tracy remembered, "and made all of us stay home, so we had a holiday. It was the spring and I recall we had a nice time sitting by the pool, and Mama's garden club was having a flower show."

2 . Couldn't you just tell in 1981 that Edwin McCain '88 was destined for greatness? Who else do you know who had to be taken to the emergency room with a locker door attached to his finger? It seems that not even the best minds at CCES, nor the application of ice, creams, or engineering advice, could dislodge his finger from the hole. Said the future singer-songwriter, "When I got there carrying a locker door on my shoulder and my right middle finger sticking through it, the ER people couldn't stand it. They laughed and took pictures and called everybody to come look at it but had no success getting my finger out. Finally, they called the hospital's chief engineer who managed to cut the door with some heavy-duty shears and bend it enough to remove my finger."

3 . In the summers of 1971 and 1972 faculty members Florence Pressly (far left) and Cathy Jones (far right) sponsored six-week European tours that brought students to England, France, Holland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. This group shot was taken in 1972 at the GSP Airport as the lucky globe-trotters were about to embark on what was billed as "38 wonderful days in 'the old world' (which isn't so old these days!)."
