One of the things we can never shake from our lives is the school we grew up with. Well, actually it is the kids you grew up with while you were at your high school. HIllcrest HS will always be with us right there in Dalzell.

Now most of us have never really been to Dalzell, nor really know where it is. We never walked the streets, went to the post office, police department, fire department or even the movie theater. ( was there really a movie theater?)

Most of the folks we've worked with always have known the town where they went to high school. Many of us with dads in the air force only knew Shaw as our town. Many students lived in Wedgefield, Rembert, Hagood, Horatio, Stateburg or Cherryville and really never visited Dalzell. Back in the 60s, Highway 521 took you directly to Sumter from Hillcrest, and it passed right through Dalzell. Today, our fair city is bypassed on the way to Sumter.  . So... where is Dalzell. I want to see some folks give some stories about Dalzell
