Foreword

Our dim throughout, in publish-
ing this Annual, has been to gather
into permanent form all that is a
true expression of our High School
life. And so, within its pages, we
have endeavored to collect not only
the various and varied activities of
the school as a whole, but even the
habits and characteristics of the
students themselves. With the
hope that in the years to come, this
book may serve to keep bright the
memories of our school days at the
Academy of Richmond County, we
present to the school this, the 1920
volume of ''The ARC."

TE

Foundation of The Academy of
Richmond County

-^^^ HE Academy of Riclimond County is the oldest educational institution
J in Georgia, and the fourth oldest in the United States. The Statute
^^*^ of 1783, under which it was created, may not be a technical charter,
and no corporate name was given to the Board, which, though not called
Trustees of the Riclnnond Academy, w-as referi'ed to sometimes as the Com-
missioners of Richnionil County, sometimes as the Trustees of Augusta, and
sometimes as tiie Trustees of the Academy and the Church. The original act
did not designate the duties of the Board. They exercised all manner of
powers, many of them diverse, and from our present standpoint incongruous.
It laid out the town, numbered tlie lots, named the streets, built St. Paul's
Church, managed the Academy and chose the teachers, ran a lottery, repaired
the river bank, narrowed Broatl and Greene Streets, and performed many other
functions not recorded here.

In 1783, innnediately after the close of the war, the first demand of the
citizens was for the establishment of an Academy. The new State had no
money and no means of raising it, but it took advantage of the fact that the
land in and around Augusta was held under royal grants, containing a provi-
sion that the purchaser sliould improve the property within a given time, or
else that tiie lot should revert back to the King. Many of these lots had been
bought up by tiiose who did not improve them, and hence were liable to for-
feiture. These, together with the Public Reserve, originally laid out as a com-
mon around tiie Fort, were vested in Trustees to be sold, and the proceeds used
for building a cliurch, and for the building of an academy or seminary of
learning.

It was, of course, necessary to sell lots and raise money before Llic school
could be established. But the citizens were not willing to wait on that slow
progress for raising an endowment sufficient enough to maintain the academy.
They did not want their children to be deprived of that which was instantly
needed. But the Board looked at it from a financial standpoint, and took no
steps either towards hiring a teacher or erecting a building. The public was
not satisfied with the progress made and the Grand Jury, on March 27, 178-i,
presented as a grievance '"the want of a seminary of learning." Tliis stimulated
the Board, and they let a contract for the erection of a schoolhouse. This
contractor died before any work was done, and the Grand Jury again in Octo-
ber, 1784, presented as a grievance "the languishing situation of the
intended academy or seminary of learning." The Board then res-
cinded the contract with the executor of the deceased contractor,
but appeared to have been unable to forward the building. The
Grand Jury, again responding to the public impatience, on March
21', 1785, ])resented as a grievance "the Connnissioners for the public
buildings of this town for not making proper exertions in getting the church
and academy erected, notwithstanding the tunds appropriated for the purpose
and which are deemed more than adequate to carry the same into execution."
This presentment stirred them into motion, and on the next day, Marcii 25,
1785, "the Board having consulted upon the em[)loyment of a Master for the

(8J

T

Academy, and Mr. Win. Rogers, late of the state of Maryland, iiaving been
well reconnnended, as being of good fame and sufficiently learned in the sciences,
appointed him Master at a salary of 200 and the use of the buildings and
garden, for wliich the said Master should give his whole time, shall teach tile
Latin, Greek and English languages, and the connnon practical branches of
mathematics, according to the rules established and practiced in the seminaries
of learning and reading in the United States. Children learning letters and
i-eading, will be charged $4.00; those learning the ])rinciples of the English
grammar and ciphering, $5.00; and those learning the Latin and Greek lang-
uages, or any branch of the niat hematics, $10.00 per quarter." The school
established was for boys and girls and remained so for a long period, its exact
termination not being known.

On the same day they resolved that a merchant be employed to import
books, the list of which shows a high standard for the new school. Also French
and English tutors were employed at a salary of $300 each.

The school was first held in some building that had formerly been used in
pre-revolutionarv' daAS, and was opened in April, 1785, the first commence-
ment being on October 2i, 1786. We cannot determine exactly where the first
schoolhouse was located, but the minutes of May, 1784, show that the Board let
the contract for a building which was to be erected on the square bounded by
Washington, Reynolds, Mcintosh and Bay, the academy to be exactly in the
center; a large gate, avenue and court to be exactly in the front, and a garden
from the back to the rear. This site was abandoned, and the first schoolhouse
wsa erected on Bay between Elbert and Lincoln. In it court was held, and also
church sei'vices, until 1789, when St. Paul's was built. This building was
spoker of as tenement No. 9. There was evidently another large building on
the adjoining lot, for, at the same time, it was resolved that the lot No. 8
'should be reserved until the further order of the Board for the sessions of the
General Assembly, and for the holding of the Superior and Inferior Courts of
the county, together with the Circuit and District Courts of the United States,
and that for that purjaose the keys were to be given to his Excellency upon his
application, who is required after the rising of the Legislature to deliver the
same to the sheriff' for the uses last named."

The Public Examinations were held in the spring and fall, and it is most
interesting to note to what great importance they were considered by the
entire community. They were attended by the Board oft'icially and by the
public generally ; sometimes by the Governor and the Executive Council, later
by the City Council in a body. The first of which we have any record is that
of March 30, 1786, and anotJier in July, 1789.

The above article was written by Felton Davis of the Class of 1916, and
was published in last year's "ARC." We are publishing it again this year
because of its unusual merit.

MAJOR (iEU. 1'. BITLEH, riincipal

After having a('(Hiire(l hour)!- in acadoniic and athletic work at tlio T'niver-
sivt of Gforgia anil at the I'niversitv of North Carolina. Major (ico. 1'. Butler
turned his activities to the Academy of Richmond County.

During his long service as teacher and as ])rinci])al, his one purpose has
been to make it ])ossible for young men at A. R. C to get the best High School
training. Success has crowned his efi'oi-ts and today the Academy of Richmond
County ranks with tiie foremost bovs' higli schools in the South.

Class President

Charles Goodrich Henry
2nd Lieutenant

Scientific

"Do not take life too seriously, you zc'ill not get out of
it alii'e."

Our Prseident; a mighty power is he. He holds tlie
class where he wants them. Never will this silver-
tong-ued genius be replaced by another. And never, it
is hoped, will we lose sight of our learned and stalwart
leader. When Goodrich first came to the Academy he
knew none of our school slang. But now he has de-
veloped quite a string of profanitj-, so that at present
without even blushing, he utters such phrases as "Gee"
and "Doggone." He is quite an English scholar and
some day we hope to see him advertised as our greatest
orator or author.

Noted: Honors, 1*, 2, 3, 4; Sgt. 4; Lieut. 5; Presi-
dent of Class, Editor-in-Chief of "The ARC", 5.

Class Vice-President

Homer Augustus Howell

Captain Technical

"Ye Gods! but he is wondrous fair."

Behold the picture of the most handsome member of
our class, the right honoral^le Homer Augustus. In
military circles he is a Captain and gives his commands
like a regular army officer, being known as "High-
pockets n." He is the leading light in the society of our
city, and all the girls are crazy about him. (By the
way, Homer had a great deal of trouble deciding which
one should be Co. "C"s" sponsor.) He has thoroughly
mastered all of the latest dances with their variations,
and deftly shakes a dainty ankle whenever he hears
strains of Jazz. Of course Augustus' great genius has
been recognized by his fellow-classmates who elected him
Vice-President of the class and Assistant Editor-in-
Chief and Military Editor of "The ARC."

Noted: Honors 1, 2; Corp. 3; 1st Sgt. 4; Capt. .5;
Co. Football 4, 5; Vice-President of Class, Asst. Editor-
in-Chief, and MUitarv Editor of "The ARC" 5.

Class Secretary

Richard Allen Symms
Captain Commercial

"Hark i/e unto the voice of wisdom and nnderstanding."

Gentlemen, your particular attention is called to our
most honoralile Secretary, Mr. R. A. Symms. Quick!
or tliis, our very efficient Business Manager will be gone,
for his time is valuable, and he has a vast amount of
work to do. He is liy far the hardest-working member
of our class (or SAYS he is), and it goes without say-
ing tliat we are justly proud of liim. Tlie weight of the
world rests upon his shoulders, and in future years, the
entire business world will look to liim for guidance, and
will be governed, efficiently and masterfully, by his firm
hand, unswerving purpose, and superhuman intellect.

Noted: Honors 1, 4; Corp. 2; Sgt. 3; Lieut. 4; Capt.
5; Secretary of Class and Business Manager of "The
'ARC" 5.

Class Treasurer
William Edward Dimmock

Corporal Technical

"It is not tchtit you do, Iriit what you are cauf/ht doing."

Here is the class' best all-round man. He always
makes good marks in his studies, especially "Analyt"
and Chemistry, both nf wliich are very easy, however.
Mr. Dilly played half-back on the Varsity Football team,
and we lio]ie he will develop into a good baseball player
also. Willie is not to lie left beliind in tlie Military De-
partment either, for in it lie holds the high rank of
Corporal. He is the Class Treasurer and, before we
had any money in the treasury, he made quite an lionest
class officer.

Noted: Entered 4; Honor, Co. Football 4; Varsity
Football, Corp., Class Treasurer, Baseball, 5.

[18]

Oliver Clifford Attridge

Supply Sergeant

Technical

"Let's to biUiards."

Dago joined the class during our sophomore year, and
has done some very good work, for in spite of his ape-
like appearance he is very studious. Monsieur Italian
bravely attempted to master the French language, but
anecdotes and idioms knocked him out. He is our Class
Historian, and since he is next to the biggest joke in
the class, he was elected Assistant Joke Editor of this
Annual. In the Military Department Attridge is Stable
Sergeant, and he has done much to improve the interior
of our spacious armory by piling up rolls of wire and
iron pipes in the center.

Noted: Entered 2; Honor 2; Company football 4, 5;
Supplv Sergeant, Class Historian, Assistant Joke
Editor of "The ARC," Baseball, 5.

Hubert Hiram Blaxchard

Non-Drill Scientific

"A great sweet silence."

Blanchard is very quiet and says so little that in the
two years he has been with us we have found out almost
nothing about him. He is very pale, a fact which, in
the main, is due to his life at the Dormitory. Another
reason for this is that he sits up so late at night study-
ing Physiology and Agriculture. In this latter study
Hiram is quite a "Hawk," and we all hope that he will
become a very successful scientific farmer, using to
practical advantage the vast store of facts he has been
taught by Professors Scruggs and Bryson.

Noted: Entered 4.

[19;

William Burdashaw

Captain General

"IVIiat's music if it's not a iwise.^''

Here is our old friend Blushing Bill Buddyshaw.
Sliuddy Bill worked hard his first four years, but in his
Senior year he committed the serious mistake of falling
in love, (for full information see Miss Harmonious).
Bill stands at the head of the Physiology class and has
made a thorough and complete study of the principle of
Osmosis. He is now trying to determine by scientific
methods whether a beaver's dam extends below the sur-
face of the water. Buddy is Captain of the Band and
in the face of many diificuUies has worked hard to make
tliat organization a success.

Noted: Corp. 2; Sgt. 3; Lieut. 4; Capt. 5; Co. Foot-
baU i, 5.

Clakence Corker Burton

1st Sergeant Technical

"Is this the face that stopped a thousand Clocks:-"'

Oogy is the mathematical genius of our class, and is
also a Chemistry "Hawk." He is always in the Chem-
istry Laboratory whenever it is open and keeps Prof.
Cassius Scruggs in constant fear of waking up and
finding himself an angel (?!?) all on account of Bur-
ton's work. Oogy is a charter member of the "Stink
Bomb" Fraternity. According to Mr. J. L. Skinner, be-
cau.se of his ability to manufacture horril)le odors, he
gets straight "A's" in Chemistry. In the liattalion Bur-
ton is a hard-boiled top sergeant and is very strict; in
fact in a single day he once reported TWO cadets for
unshined shoes.

Noted: Corp. 3; Sgt. +; 1st Sgt. 5; Honor 1; Co.

"Till/ beauty not a fault is there."

Harmonious is one of the most important memljers of
tlie Band in whicli he holds the rank of "Shavetail." He
plays the cornet so well that he has gained admission
to the Academy Orchestra, and he hopes to join the
union soon. Harman is of a very esthetic nature and
likes to be in a musical atmosphere. This is one of the
reasons he hangs around a certain music store, but it is
not the only one. Harman has asked me to announce
to all the ladies that because of his constant practice he
has a very good lip.

"Little but Loud."

Commercial

We now introduce our notorious Classmate, Bill Davis.
He is one of the most hard-working members of our
class, and studies on an average of 2.667 minutes per
night. Bill is an old time, hard boiled non-com and we
are sure Maj. Danforth made a great mistake in not
appointing him top sergeant. He takes everything very
seriously and attends "Time-class," regularly. At pre-
sent Davis is organizing an "Anti-Cigarette League," of
which he is president.

hut when it comes to athletics he is riftht there. Half-
hack on the Varsity Eleven, catcher on the baseball
team, he is the all-round athlete of our class. On the
drill field Bill is a "Shavetail" and has attempted to
sulistitute his method of drawing saber for the (me

"He shows occasionaUy surface indications of intellect."

A happy nut who takes nothing seriously. The
A.R.C. has taught Norvell many things since he came
down from Grovetown. Foremost of these are: Wearing
loud ties, parting his hair in the middle, and what a
shower bath is. All the ith Class men are sorry the
"Queen of Grovetown" is leaving this year, but we" can't
say that he is. Tourist is quite a lady's man, having

Piiinny is one of our military oracles. He holds the
position named above in the military department on ac-
count of his extensive knowledge of military tactics.
Tom is also up to date at love making, but it is generally
known that he is down-hearted, due to a recent love
affair which terminated unfavorably. Phinny does well
in his studies and so well all know he will be on hand
at commencement.

'He hntli a Unn and hiini/ri/ look."

Shank is the bony wonder of the class. We wonder
sometimes if be ever eats, for we would certainly notice
it if he did. Occasionally when be is marching with
colors we look bard for Shanks, but that is all right
he is just behind the flag staff. He has been here for
all five acts and can therefore tell you all the ways of
getting out of work. He is noted around school especi-
ally for bis Bolshevik principles, which manifest them-
selves greatly in the Chemistry Class.

Noted: Private 1, 2, 3, 4; Color Sgt. 5; Honors 1, 2.

Charles Doughty Sylvestee

Captain Technical

"You can't see him for the sqiiln-et,':."

Now folks please don't say, "Mniy don't you get
something new?" We know you saw this strilving beauty
last year. But Tough just could not bear to leave the
"Old Historic Institution," so here he is again. We
know tliat everyone will agree that such a picture is
a great addition to the Annual. As you see above "Syi"
is a Captain. First, he conuiianded the "Green Com-
pany," until several knives were drawn on him, and he
was forced to resign. I^ater he was appointed to com-
mand Company "B." Tough has many outside activ-
ities, but anyway we all hope he really gets his diploma
this year.

George Albert Thompson

Corporal Technical

"It is easier to slide than to climb."

Old "Thomp" appeared in our third year, and since
that time has made himself a universal favorite. He is
not a bit lazy, but he has perfect faith in the sleep and
rest cure for all ailments. He hails from the bleak
plains of New York State, and for that reason can
laugh at our little frosts; but just the same he sits
close to the stove in Maj. Danforth's room. Thompson
is a staunch Bolshevik, having been initiated into that
society by the famous Red and Radical Socialist,
Franklin Ri dlehoover.

Noted: Entered 3; Corp. i, 5; Varsity Football 3, 5;

Norman Millett Tobey ....
Non-drill Scientific

"Wise from the top of his head up.''

Norman, affectionately linown as Troddy, has Ijeen
witli us only two years, but in that time we liave come
to know him well. He |)Oses as a "shark" in Enfflish
and Science, hut this camouflage does not get by with
anybody but Prof. Cassius. Tobey's intellectual ap-
pearance is only su|)erficial, but is greatly accentuated
Ijy the little red satchel which he keeps clo.se by his side.
Though originally from Boston, Norman now lives in
Langley, S. C. In coming to school his avericious na-
ture often overcomes his dignity, and he hobos his way
to town on a freight.

"A lion (imon;! ladies is a most dangerous thing."

All hail the high and mighty "Preach." Let the little
Freshman beware who dares pass and not salute.
"Preach" is a howling success at bull-shooting, on ac-
count of which he has been awarded the position of
teacher to the entire senior class. He has lately bought
a derby, and, when he wears this, one finds it hard to
tell whether the individual is really Marion or K.
Andrews. Preacher is especially noted for his ability to
make high explosives, and it won't be nuich longer be-
fore Mr. Scruggs is a nervous wreck. All the same
Preach is a good old sport and we all wish him well.

Success

Up life's lone wearv way I toiled,

Tliough oft' my dearest plans were foiled ;
Though oft' my fondest hopes were crushed ;

And oft' witliin, my sj^irit hushed.

'Til in the distance there appeared
An ancient temple grandly reared,

Around which were no gardens seen,

Of odorous shrubs and spreading green.

But from its walls a softened strain
Of music came; and then again,

The chant of worshippers, to bless

The gathering throng crowned with success.

Dauntlessness

Wliy dread the gloomy part of life?
Or falter at the call to strifeP
'Tis nature's plan it thus should be,
From struggle's toils no soul is free.

For harvests full of golden grain,
God sends the sunshine and the rain ;
To give tlie forest strength and form,
He sends tiie stillness and the storm.

Who dreads the gloomy part of life
And fears the days that call for strife,
Remember Nature's law has made
Our ways of shadow and of shade ;
And has decreed that we sliould know
A bit of struggle as we go.

All sorrow 's naught but joy's disguise;
From dark despair will hope arise;
As out of murky miry beds
The fairest lilies lift their heads.

"Blushing Bill Buddyshaw"

(or how she shook him)
By Brian Merky, '21

She nestled in his arms, and it seemed as if the whole world and Augusta
paused in their dizzy, dcsparate, dashing course to keep silence before these
two as tliey sat on Center Street bridge and dangled their feet over the side.
A farm wagon sped softly, oh, so softly, silently, soundlessly by. The cool,
clear and cleansing waters of the Savannah splashed gently against the abut-
ments with a low, lazy, la})))ing sound, as though someone below were pouring
liquid from a bottle.

"Buddy."

"Dearest."

Pulsing with passion, thrilling with throbs, vibrating with vim, they whis-
pered each to each as though the mighty barrier that bords the domain of
dreams had opened its golden portals to their ken.

"Buddy."

"My own.?"

"Do you love much.''"

With a paroxysm of passion he strained her to him and imbedded his lips
in hers. She lay blind, deaf, motionless, inaminate beneath the whirl-wind
of liis caresses.

Stark terror seized him.

"Helen ! Helen !"

The rosy lips parted and the fragrance as of the Physics Laboratory at
4:38 P. M. scented the night air.

"Helen, my own, do you doubt me.''" Wearily she raised her head.

"I I do not know. " I cannot tell."

"But, Love, ilid I not buy you a hot dog today.'' What greater test of love
than that.'' But try me, ask of me anything and it shall be done."

She turned her lustrous, lucid, limpid eyes upon him.

"Tell me," she breathed, breathlessly, "why they put a number on each
automobile.''"

A solemn hush. The very wavelets ceased their crooning and the stars
stared with steadfast stillness. The universe stood on tiptoe to catch the
whispered answered.

A look of surprise, a moment of thought, consternation and blank despair.

With a gurgling, grasping groan, he plunged headlong into the red, rush-
ing water of the Savannah. A splash and all was still. She walked home
alone.

Military Department

Capt. H. a. Howei.i,, Editor

Ol'R present military departnient, is now coini)ieting its twenty-second
year. The organization having been formed in 1898 by Major Geo.
P. Butler, who continued as commandant until the year 1919, when
he retired to give more time to his duties as principal.

During this time the Battalion made great progress. At first there was
only one company, but owing to the great increase in attendance it was soon
possible to organize three companies, and a little later, four. The Battalion
was at first supjilicd with single-shot Remington rifles, but in the year 1915
new Craig- Jorgensen carbines were loaned by the government. These are still
used. At the present time the attendance is so large that rifles are available
for only three companies. More rifles, however, have been ordered and it is
hoj)ed that they will arrive before the end of the present vear.

In the fall of 1919 the connnand of the Battalion was given to Major E. C.
B. Danforth, Jr., who, (hiring the late war, served as a Major in the 82nd
Division. Major Danforth was formerly a member of the Academy faculty
until the beginning of the war, at which time he entered the service as captain.
During the war he made for himself an enviable record and earned a promotion
from caj)tain to major. For this reason we are especially glad that Major
Danforth has returned to the Academy as Commandant of Cadets.

This year many new features have been introduced into the activities of
the Battalion, all of which have made the drilling more profitable and pleas-
anter. Before this time all the drilling done by the Battalion was in close
order, but this year extended order, and methods of real fighting were
learned. This has greatly stimulated interest in the department, and has also
given some elemental knowledge of the correct methods of fighting. This year
also competitive drills between the j)latoons were added. About every three
weeks one of these drills is held to determine the best first platoon, and the
best second platoon. These drills have awakened lively interest and developed
snap. The companies are inow drilling and getting ready for the company
drill which is to be held in the near future. This drill always puts the officers
and men on edge, since it is the crowning feature of the year, and everyone is
doing liis best to make his own company come out first. This year it is thought
that the drill will be unusually close, as all of the companies have been drilling
well and it is hard at this time to tell which is the best. The companies have
dcvelo])ed more pep this year than ever before and for this rason it is thought
that they will show up splendidly in the exhibition drills.

Our band is also showing up exceptionally well. Since its organization in
1915 it has advanced in leaps and bounds. This year under the leadershi]) of
Capt. Burdashaw it is furnishing excellent nmsic.

Before the war, the Battalion engaged in target practice, the annnunition
being furnished by the government and splendid records were made by some of
the boys. But during the war this was discontinued, much to the regret of the
entire student body. This year, however. Major Danforth hopes to take it up
again, the shooting to be done on the govermnent target range situated a few
miles from Augusta. The officers are now practicing the correct methods of
aiming and firing.

Bugler ..Owens, M.

In previous years it lias been the custom of the Battalion, during the
months of April, May and June, to wear kliaki uniforms because the blue uni-
forms were too heavA' for this season. But this year, owing to the scarcity of
materials and the inability of the manufacturers to furnish tlie goods at a rea-
sonable price, it has been decided that we will not wear them. This however
will not liinder the military department, as the blue uniforms have been worn
before until the end of school.

Nothing Is In Vain

Xotliing is ill vain :
Not a t'lowur blooms to die,
Xeatii the shade on open sivv,
But is found by some lone eve;

It shall bloom again ;
For the thoughts of God shall be
Lasting as eternity.

Not a sweet voiced bird
Lives and sings and flics away
But some heart is gladdened; nay,
Not the music of a day

Passed all unheard ;
Still there is an ear that hears
All the music of the spheres.

Not a soulful deed
That bv human hand is wrought.
Nor a kindly word, to naught
By the cankering years is brought;

Not a soul-born creed
In forgctfulness long lies;
It shall grow where falsehootl dies.

^ HE School Term of 1919-1920 opened September IStli witli twenty-
C^^l one seniors on roll. Tiie first business taken up by the Class was the
purchasing of rings and pins on September 2.'5th. A committee con-
sisting of T. Phinizy and R. Svmms was appointed by the Class to select the
design. After the conniiittee had decided on a design a Class meeting was
called in order to make purchases. Tiiesc rings and jjins were purcliased from
thp C. D. Reese Co. of New York City and are now worn, some by the members
of the Class themselves, and some by the interesting ex-officio members.

The next imjiortant meeting of the Class was called on Tuesday, Novem-
ber -ith, for the pur])ose of organizing the Class. The following officers were
elected; Goodrich Henry. President; Homer Howell, ^'ice-President ; Allen
Symms, Secretary; William Dimmock, Treasurer; William Fell and Marion
Verdcry, Athletic Representatives. After the election the (juestion was
brought before the Class as to whether the Class should publish an Arc Light
or an Annual or both, but the Class adjourned before a decision was reached.

On Monday, No\ ember 10th, the Class was called to order by the President
to take up the question of the publication. There were many suggestions by
members of the Class as to whether the Class should have an Arc Light or an
Annual. A committee consisting of N. M. Tobey, T. Phinizy, W. Dimmock
was aj)])ointed to. confer with the Principal, Publication Connnittee of the
Faculty, and the Lower Classes ; each of whom should be consulted in the plans
of a school publication. The next question taken into consideration was the
election of the Publication Staff, which is as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Goodrich
Henry; Asst. Editor-in-Chief, Homer Howell; Business Manager, Allen
Symms; Asst. Bus. Mgr. and Treas., Thos. Phinizy; Asst. Bus. Mgr. (4th
Class) Henry North, Jr. ; Literary Editor, N. M. Tobey ; Art P^ditor, L. Levy ;
Asst. Art Editors (-ith Class), B. Merry and P. Roberts; Military P^ditor,
H. Howell; Joke Editor, M. Verdery ; Asst. Joke Editor, C. Attridge ; Class
Events Editor, H. R. Clark; Athletic Editor, A. Thompson.

The 4th of February an important meeting was called for the discussion of
the })lanting of a tree by the Class which will be a living memorial to the Class
of 1920. This })r()position was thought a fine one, and a committee was ap-
pointed to look after the matter. The question also arose as to Class Day.
Immediate action toward this project was undertaken and the following Class
Day officers were elected: Historian, C. Attridge; Orator, N. M. Tobey;
Prophet, M. Verdery; Poet. D. Sylvester; Last Will and Testament, :M. Vv.
Norvell ; Minutes, R. A. Symms. A motion was also made at this meeting that
the Class give a dance. This met with a great deal of enthusiasm and definite
arrangements were immediately made.

Another very inqjortant question arose which had to be settled immediately,
so on the .'ird of March a short meeting was called to decide to whom the An-
nual should be dedicated. This (juestion had been discussed before but upon
consideration, the Class decided Mr. J. F. Cason, our English teacher, the one
to whom we desired to dedicate it. There was a unanimous vote in Mr.
Cason's favor.

We sincerelv trust that the Class of 1920 will acconq)lish much more and

be as successful in the future as it has been in the past, for we are planning

jnanv more things.

Last Will and Testament

By Marion W . Nouveli,
State of Georgia:
Academy of Richmond County.

In tlie name of God : Amen.

We, the Class of Nineteen Twenty, of the State and School aforesaid, by
reason of great pliysical pain, mental anguish, and spiritual travail for five
longs years of toil, trial, and trouble; woefull weak and feeble of body, and
brought now in our declining days to realize that our course in this Highway
of Hades is almost run ; yet being in full and free possession and control of our
faculties, yea, even of exceeding sound and disposing mind and memory ; now,
therefore, for the purpose of making known our wishes concerning the rites to
bo observed over our remains, on the occasion of our death and burial, and of
providing for a wise, just, and equitable division and disposition of our lands,
goods, and earthly possessions of every kind, for the mitigation in a measure
of the demoralization naturally consequent upon our probable demise for
the pertuation on the face of the earth, of this Old Historic Institution,
when we no longer haunt it in flesh, for insuring comfort and competence in
their old age to those here dependent on us, who might other wise be left desti-
tute and helpless, for the causes of charity and benevolence, and the expression
of appreciation of gratitude to those who have befriended us on our way and
made the burdens of our journeys easier, and for such other purposes, as the
law may deem necessary and proper, do hereby declare, publish, ordain and
establish this the last Will and Testament of us, the said Class of 1920, to-wit :

Item 1 : We bequeath one bottle of Glover's Mange Cure to "Sugar Val-
ley Copeland," to stimulate the growth of that misplaced eye brow which
brldly adorns his upper lip.

live over the old days again freely and fully, without title or diminution.

Item 3 : To Mr. J. L. Skinner, a Utopian dream of a dormitory where
silence reigns supreme ; where the nights are never cold ; where the meals are
served on time, grits and bacon thrice a day; where syrup and water are mixed

"Corn Willie" never runs low.

Item 4: To our Coach, Robt. Hall Crook, we hereby bequeath a postal
service by which letters from Mississippi always arrive on time ; and between
arrivals, a resting refuge in Ruth's Rambling Reo.

Item .5 : To Mr. J. Evans Eubanks, one Interlinear Translation of
"Caesar's Gallic Wars," published by Hinds and Noble.

Item 6 : To Hill Billy Malone, one pair of brogan shoes, lined with gravel
to make him feel at home.

Item 7 : To Major High Pockets Danforth the daily delivery of one pack-
age of peanuts.

Item 8: To Chas. Guy Cordle, one chewing gum collector; one hundred
volumes of adventure and pictures of tree stumps, corn fields and fences.

Item 9 : To the principal's secretary, Mr. O. C. Skinner, one new suit of
clothes to replace the ancient overalls that he has been wearing around here.

[67]

T

Item 10: To Wm. R. Kennedy, one Maxim Silencer for Baby Bill, and
niffhts of peaceful slumber.

Item 11: For Mr. de Bruvne we leave one stick of Juicy Fruit.

Realizing tbat tokens of love and appreciation should be bestowed on the
living, rather than on the dead, so that thcv mav be a constant reminder to us
while in the flesh of said love and affection, the following gifts have been made
to the members of the Class of 1920:

To one, Albert Thompson, in order that the anguish of a love-sick heart
may be stayed, and that his once beaming countenance may again be wreathed
in smiles, we present one volume on "How to Make Love," by Robt. Hall Crook.

To Norman M. Tobey, one pad lock and chain, said articles to be used in
aiding him to keep securely by him his little red leather satchel.

To Raymond Lackman we hereby devise one wire mouse traj) in order that
when the animals are caught their hides will be unmarrcd by scars, so that they
may bring the highest market price.

And for our old class-mate, "Blushing Bill Burdashaw," we leave one pack-
age of Chesterfield cigarettes, a season ticket to the Labor Hall dances, and
a year's subscription to the Hawk Eije.

All our astuteness and genius for political schemes and manipulations bv
the exercise of which it has been possible for us to ]M-omote and maintain our
own power, and execute our plans for the wise and just administration of
affairs, we hereby give, devise and bequeath to our dear friends and associa-
tions in life the Class of 1921, that the said Class of 1921 shall in the same
manner take care of the common weal in the trying times of the future.

To Wm. Shivers Morris, Jr., we hereby bequeath one rattler to satisfy his
simple and child-like desires.

Owens, known as "Little Nemo the Monkey Man," the long sought for "Mis-
sing Link."

Marks Without Studying," by H. Marks.

To Corp. Baker we hereby bequeath one pair of A. R. C. trousers that are
guaranteed to out last any Ford automobile.

And for the purpose of enforcing and executing and disposing of all our
other property not hereinbefore especially devised and bequeathed, we appoint

we repose in him from giving any bond whatsoever, and direct that he take for
himself all wearing apparel of which we die possessed, as well as liberal pay-
ment for all services rendered by him as such executor.

Done in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty,
and of this "Old Historic Institution," The Academy of Richmond County,
One Hundred and Thirty-Seven.

Where-unto, we set our hand and seal.

Witnessed bv M. T. Brvson, Notary Public, ex-officio Justice of Peace.

Oration

By N'ouMAX TouEv

The Senior Class of The Acadeiiiv of Richmond County is now nearing the
end of five long years. Our work has not been easy but in the course of these
years we have been able to observe the progress of a student in this school.

The first year at the Academy is usually a trying one. The student must
learn tiie functions of an unfamiliar organization more complex than that of a
grammar school. The first few days are full of the seeming confusion of the
university plan such as his course abbreviations, building directions, and
schedule with strange teachers and boys. Everything is thrown upon himself.
He is responsible. Tiierc is no one to tell him he has a recitation at a certain
period or where to go, yet he must be at the proper place on time with his work
done. Much of his work upon the new studies has to be done at home, unhap-
pily therefore, some find at first it is easy to become lax with the new work and
fall behind without any discomfort on their part. P^ortunately this condition
does not last long for as soon as the work is well under way, the poor little
freshman finds that altho he may have many class-mates to hide behind, the
teacher has a way of finding out what he is doing. Then there comes a de-
fining stage. Their abilities are defined by the faculty and by themselves.
Some are judged weak and are sent back for a better foundation, while those
allowed to stay are assured of success if they do their part.

But, nevertheless, the freshman does not take his work very seriously, but
lie likes to explore the time class and delights in playing jokes that would not
be possible in grammar school. But the majority settle down by the mid-year
to the work that is still unfamiliar and difficult.

In the second year the student is not handicapped by new methods. The
new studies are smoothly taken up and if the first year has been a good one,
he finds he can pick up his new subjects quickly and get settled to establish
liimself . If the first year had been wrongly spent, he may find the studies heavy
and hard to understand, but usually the fellow that passes his first year's work
has shown himself capable to handle the second.

With the second year a new sciiool attitude is born. He is no longer a
freshman but he looks down upon tlie lower classmen witli contempt ; for he is
a sophomore.

The third year is also a year of establishment. The work is now really
dift'icult and much ground is covered. This is the year when the student be-
gins proudly to drop the information among his friends that he is now studying
such and such a subject. It is in this year that many of the elementary courses
are applied to the new, therefore the former training is reflected in the work
of the present. The finish of preparatory work is now well in sight.

The fourth year marks a great appliance of all the elementary subjects
and the student must cover a large volume of work rapidly. The development
of the individual mind to work independently, rapidly and accurately, trans-
forms the boy of a few years ago into a young man capable of hard work and
of getting results quickly. The problems of the first few years which were
formerly attacked by the process of analogy are now solved purely by logic
altho the principles and rules have been long forgotten.

At the end of the fourth year the junior class men are ready for college

[69]

ami some leave for other schools, but others prefer to take advantage of the
course of freshmen college work offered here.

With the fifth year, the duties of a senior are various. Besides, more dif-
ficult work than any of that of the preceding years, he must attend to the func-
tions of his class as an organization. The last two years there has been an
Annual to prepare which requires a vast amount of work.

On the other hand, the successful young man finds that altho his studies
require more work, the difficulties can be met with sharper minds than ever
before. The problems that would before require hardest study can now be
solved easily. In the routine work, the fifth classman learns to systematize
and his powers of condensation and concentration are much greater.

So we view the function of the High School in the life of a young man as a
constructive means to a great end life which may be represented as a great
mountain with success at the sunnnit in the form of power, wealth and intellect.

Education represents the foot hills of life which increase in grade from
high school to college. At each year's end there is a resting place, a sunny
terrace. At any of these stages the young man can dodge around the foot-
hills of education and commence the ascention of life but the young man of fore-
sight continues the climb of education ; for according to the physiological princ-
iple, as work is done, the power to do work is increased and he employs this
principle in preparing for the ultimate climb of life. The boy that chooses
to go around begins with a handicap of not being able to see his goal on account
:of tlif very sheerness of the ascent, but as the young man ascends the foothills,
the higher he climbs, the greater is the view, and the sight of the summit is
clearer. The path to success in life is straightened and the possibilities of tak-
ing the wrong turn are fewer. Then if any young man has held to the ascent
of the foot-hills, overcome the temptations of the sunny terraces, and ignores
the scorn and taunts of his more sure-footed fellowmen, when he slips upon the
steep path, if he can say at the criticism of his record, "I have done my best,"
then he is a man, and success at the summit of the mountain of life is his.

Review of The Year's Athletics

^'^ VHEX till' A. K. C". football team closed its season for 1919 it had won
\^y four "finR's and lost three. It had also won for itself the rc])utation
for clean, hard, and sportsman-like fighting good losers wiien the
time came to lose.

The season brought out no outshining stars, but brouglit out a well-trained,
well-developed football machine whicli, when called upon, could sliow the kind
of steel it was made of. Tlie first game of tlic season was with Waynesboro
High School. This was a one sided affair. The Waynesboroites put up a
good fight, but the hea\ier line and the fast backs of the Academy were too
much for the Waynesboro boys and latter were defeated -UB-O.

Tlie second game was tlic worst of tiie season from tiie Academy's stand-
point, for in this game tiie Boy's High Team from Atlanta defeated tiic
Academy team 26-0.

Next on the ])rogram ivas the game witii the "fat babies" from Johnston
High. This team out^veighed the wearers of Purjile and (iold, but were in-
experienced and were defeated by the score 7i5-0.

Fourth on the schedule was the game witli Statesboro. In the first lialf it
seemed as though the Aggies were going to haye an easy time running u]) a
score of 16 in that half. But the tune changed in the second half. The
blinding rain seemed to inspire tlie Academy boys, for they scored two touch-
downs in the final frame. The wliistle blew with the ball in Riclnnond's pos-
session on the 4 yard line, the final score being 16-13 in favor of the Aggies.

The next game was jjlayed with Lanier High from Macon. The Academy
still felt the sting of defeat of the ])revious baseball season, and got sweet re-
venge from Bibb County to the tune of 20 to 0.

The sixth game was with the Aggies from Statesboro and was ])layed at the
Fair Grounds. The Varsity were out for revenge again and after a hard
fought battle defeated the Aggies by a 6-0 score.

The last game was with Savannah High on Thanksgiving Day in Augusta.
The Savannah team had easy going the first half, scoring two touchdowns. The
Purple and Gold came back strong the second half and also annexed two
touchdowns, but failed to kick one goal. The final score was l-i-13 in favor
of Savannah.

Every year after the regular football season is over it is the custom to have
coni])any football. The football jjlavers who have made their letters are not
allowed to ])lay in order that the inex])erienced ones may have a chance to
show their ability and to brighten the prospects for more material for the
following year.

In company football each com])any organizes a team, and every company
plays each of the other companies to determine the cliam})ion team of the
battalion.

The first two games were played on Dec. 10th, Co. "B" ])laying Co. "A",
and Co. "D" playing Co. "C". Both were hard fought games," Co. "B" win-
ning from Co. "A" 7-0, Co. "D" winning from Co. "C" 6-0.

The next day of play was Dec. 15, but the standing of the teams was not
changed for "B'"' tied "D" 0-0, and "A" tied "C" 0-0.

[80]

On the third day of battle, Dec. 18, "B" won from "C" 2J.-7, and "D" won
from "A" 10-0.

This left "B" and *'D" tied for the title, for each company had won from
Co. "A" and Co. "C" and had tied each other in a hard fought game. On Jan.
li, the *wo winners met and in well-played, hard-fought contest, Co. "B" de-
feated Co. "D" 13-6, thereby winning the championship of the battalion.

When the trees were beginning to bud, and leaves were beginning to come
out, the campus became quite a lively scene of action, with all of the baseball
aspirants running around getting warmed up, and anxiously waiting for the
first call for practice. This glad call came on the 8th of March. There was
a grand response, about thirty boys reporting for duty, each one set on mak-
ing some particular place on the team.

The first few days were used in getting the old stiffness out and getting
warmed up for the real practice. When these days were over and the real
practice had started, the Varsity slowly took shape, for under the expert eve
and tutelage of Coach Crook the best players were selected to represent the
Academy on the diamond for 1920.

The team developed, after hard practice and many bumps, into a fast,
snappy, brainy team. Each fellow knew what to do with the ball at any time,
and all of the others knew what he was going to do with it. In other words,
they used fine team work, pulling together all the time.

After the first game. Coach Crook saw that they did not hit as well as he
would like, so practice games were arranged at once with the Augusta ball
team. This gave both teams practice, and gave the Academy boys more con-
fidence when they faced a prep school pitcher who would by no means be as hard
to hit as a professional pitcher who has speed and stuff to burn. This greatly
improved the Varsity, and they are now a hitting bunch of ball players.

The first game of the season was with a team from Johnson, S. C. This
was a tight 1-1 game up to the eight inning, when the A. R. C. scored the win-
ning run. The second game was with the Waynesboro High School. This
was a one-sided affair due to the expert pitching of Owens, and the field work
and heavy hitting of the entire team.

Next on schedule were two games in MilledgeviUe with G. M. C. They ex-
pected a walk away, but were sadly mistaken and did not score until the seventh
inning, the final score being 3 to in favor of G. M. C. The second had to
be called off on account of rain.

Next were two games with Statesboro. The "Aggies" had a strong team
and in the first game the score came out 2-2, after eleven innings of well-played
baseball. Luck favored the "Aggies" the next day and they won with the
score 1-0.

Following these games were two games with Carlisle. They had a hard
hitting team until they came up here and faced Gillman. This is what their
Coach said, and we thoroughly agree with him, for in this game Gillman struck
out twenty-three and allowed onh' one hit. The A. R. C. winning 2-0. The
second game was not quite so successful, for the Carlisle bunch beat us 6-0.

The last games which the writer will be able to relate in this article were
the games with Columbia High School. The Academy won the first game
by the score of 7-3, and the second, b}' the score of 15-1.

Track practice was begun March 16, when Coach Cordle issued a call for
candidates. After ten davs of practice the Varsity squad was picked as
follow.s: Cleckley (unanimously elected captain), Adams, Sylvester, Trow-

[81]

m . T

bridge, Baker, Verdery, C, Law, Halford, Lynch. With these, who were the
best in the heavyweight and middleweight classes, practised also the light-
weights, the most prominent of whom were Caldwell and Sack. Meets were
arranged with G. M. C. and with Lanier High in addition to the Tenth Dis-
trict High School Meet at Thomson. But rain finally caused the abandon-
ment of the trip to G. M. C.

On the local Field Day, April 12, out of seventeen events Academy records
were broken in eight. Caldwell heads the list with three in the lightweight
class 50-yard dash, 12()-yard dash, and running broad jump. Cleckley, the
best all-round track athlete seen at the Academy in years, beat the old record
of 10 3-5 seconds for the hundred yard dash by one-fifth of a second. He
also set a new mark of 37 ft. 6 in. in the twelve-pound shot-put. Adams,
middleweight, bettered in his class the time for the 75-yard and 220-yard
dashes by two-fifths of a second and one second respectively. In their classes
the following were winners: Heavyweight, Cleckley (16 points) ; middleweight,
Adams (20 points) ; lightweight, Caldwell (18 points).

The results in the various events were as follows :

Out Of a Clear Sky

By Capt. Thus. Phinizy

"^^ HOUGH I am an American by birtli I had tlie well being of the

' ~J French nation at heart. Probably this was because of a sense of our

indebtedness to France for Lafayette's great service to America.

But to make a long matter short, I had always admired France. So that was

the reason I had joined that great institution, the French Secret Service.

It was in August, 1912, on one of those wonderful days so well known to
tiie Frenchman, when the air is extremely clear, and free from all dust, with the
sun shining brightly as if to dispel all fears. I was seated in tlie garden of
the Louvre, thinking that this was just such a day as was that on which the
Duval case had occurred, when my life-long friend, Jean Vaux, came around
the corner of a garden house. I welcomed him with our old friendly greeting,
but noticed that his face wore an unusually serious expression. I immediately
asked him what tiie trouble was and he told me. Tiiat morning, from the
Foreign Office liad been stolen a very valuable paper and ours was the task
of recovering it. He explained to me that ]\L Ludig, tlie Foreign Secretarv.
had been found gagged and bound, but his office had been left in perfect order.
Itiappeared that the print of a man's hand had been found on the desk in the
inner oft'ice. The hand print was characterized by what was evidently a
lai;ge scar that cut and almost obliterated the life line. It had been noticed,
furthermore, tliat a very distinguished looking stranger had entered tlie office
early in the morning, but had not been seen to re-appear. On investigation the
Secretary had been found in the condition already stated. The unknown man,
whom we shall call M. "X.," wore a black suit and a slouch hat. His features
were no^ clearly seen.

It was absolutely certain that M. "X." iiad tiie paper in his possession, for
immediately after the occurrence the paper was missing. It was clear that
the unknown must have disappeared in some mysterious manner ; probably
through a secret passage! Our first move was to sound the walls of the inner
office, but after a careful examination they were found to be solid. As I was
passing a large cabinet, apparently made in the time of Louis XIV, my
trousers' leg caught on a projecting obstacle and immediately the cabinet
swung out with a faintly audible grinding noise. Vaux joined me at once and
we both stepped behind the cabinet. To our intense surprise the floor gave
away beneath our feet. We felt ourselves sinking slowly. We landed in a
stone passage which on further investigation we found to lead to the wall of
the building. We were searching the outlet to the passage, when a figure
stepped out in front of us. As our electric torch lit u]) tliis person's face we
were dunifounded to find ourselves in tlie jjresence of our chief. And then as
out of a clear sky it came to us both simultaneously that he was the owner of
the scarred hand. Indeed we remembered that he had received a large sword
wound while duelling. He ordered us to retrace our steps and arrest M. Ludig
for treason, after which to report to headquarters.

We then went in search for our victim, but were unable to find him. Two
hours later, however, he was found at home with a bullet wound in his head.
How it liappened we were never able to find out.

We reported to head(]uarters as ordered, and were directly sliown into the
presence of our chief. His explanation of tlie affair was as follows :

[841

IB

T HI

For some time it had been suspected that German agents had known of the
existence of that paper. But it was not until later that absolute proof had
been received that clearly indicated intrigue. Several officials iiad been bribed
and M. Ludig was to deliver the paper. Our chief went in person to interview
M. Ludig and on demanding the paper, he had to resort to violence. To keep
himself out of publicity the chief liad gagged and bound him and beat a hasty
retreat, taking with him the paper. And tlien our part in the case had come in.
We learned that the paper was a secret alliance between France and England,
which denounced Germany's imperial policy. If it had fallen into German hands
it would have precipitated Europe into a bloody war. It was suspected that
M. Ludig's death was suicidal, for realizing that his arrest was only a matter
of time he had found death preferable to disgrace.

A Play In One Act It Was Brown's Idea

By W. L. Fri.cHiM

ScEXE OxE A .student's room. The room has one bed whicli has not been
made up in some time; a broken mirror stands in one corner; two chairs, a water
bucket and a rayo himp are the only other furnishings.

Henry Brown is the owner of the room. He is a chunky fellow ; has a
devlish eye; tolerably large nose; his mouth turns down at the corners; has a
cow-lick in his forehead. He is lying on the bed and occasionally throws his
feet as high as he can get them.

Jim Hopkins is his closest friend. He is younger than Heiirv ; a very
handsome fellow ; has large black eyes and a fine nose. He dresses in a black
suit antl wears kitl gloves. They are engaged in conversation.

Brown It is about time they are coming. They jjromised to be here at
half past seven. The watch says the time is nearly up. I wish thev would
hurry, this is to be the night of our lives.

Hopkins You are a fool. Brown. You have been in college for four years.
To my certain knowledge you have not studied three hours a week during that
time. You are a genius at books, but you have lost the honors just for such
escapades as we are going to undertake tonight. It makes no difi'erence to me,
but Turner has you beaten. If the faculty knew how little you work vour
name would not even be considered. \Vhat do you think you will be fit for
when you are turned out in June.''

Brown You are a pretty thing to talk about studying. "I.,et him that is
gui'tless throw the first stone." By the way, I do not believe that you know
a Latin root from a pig's foot, and you a Senior.

Hopkins What I was going to say is this: if you treat these fellows as
you have in mind to do, the faculty will expel you without a hearing.

Brown What! are you cold-footed.'' You may call me a fool if you will,
but I am no coward. The faculty must find it out before they expel me. AVill
you join me in the recreation for the night.'' Our boyhood days will soon be
over.

Hopkins You know that we have been Jonathan and David. I would
rather not get expelled this near connnencement. I would not have cared so
much this time last year, but now our "Dij)s" are almost won. If, however,
you are bent, here is my hand.

Brown I.,ook here, Hopkins, this is not at all serious. Hand me the
Bible. Put your hand on this as a token that the ])r()ceedings of this night
shall be kept an eternal secret.

Hopkins Is everything ready.^ Are the fellows on.^ Can you trust them.''

Brown Yes, I have posted every one of them. Some of them argued
against it as you have done. They say expulsion is certain, but, old boy, if
they do not catch us it will be the niftiest thing ever jjulled oft' in this burg.
What do you say.''

Hopkins I hear them coming. Shall I let them in.''

/Ten big, strong, lusty fellows enter the room. They sit down on the bed.
Thoy wear eager looks. The most striking one among them is Bill Turner.
He weighs about two hundred pounds.)

Brown Fellows, we have a barrel of fun on hand for tonight. Hopkins

[86J

TH

and I have been talking the proposition over. We want each and every one
of vou to take an oatli to let the work of this night be tenable in your silence.

Turner We met Prof. Rhodes in the hall. We tried to dodge him but
failed. I do not believe that he recognized us. It is my impression that he
has been standing at your door ; if so our names are Dennis.

Brown Gentlemen, listen to me. We are in this and I propose that we
carry it to a successful end. Here is our program for tonight : first, we will
take the clapper out of the bell this is an old trick but it will be a good
starter; second, we are going to grease every black-board in the school for
once ; third, we are going to carry five Freshmen three miles from town, tie them
securely to trees and let them remain there until six o'clock tomorrow evening;
fourth, we are going to disturb every chicken roost in town. (At one o'clock
we will have a chicken feast.) Three boys will cook the chickens. We are
going to take the President's brag rooster ; at two o'clock we are going to alarm
this town and community as it has never been alarmed before ; sixth, when the
President makes his talk at Chapel in the morning we shall all be there (ex-
cept the five Freshmen) ; seventh, we are to know nothing that has happened
during the night. Does everybody understand.''

All We understand.

Turner Let us hurry to finish this night's work
These are tasks we should not shirk.

ScEKE Two Faculty study. The President, who is seated in his big arm-
chair, has a very sour look on his face. The Faculty is present to a man. They
present the appearance of being much wrought up.

The President Gentlemen : you already know the reason for this meeting.
No such disturbance has ever occurred in this institution since I have been
President. It was malicious from start to finish. What are your ideas about
proceeding with the investigation.'

Prof. Rhodes I was in the hall last night and met a crowd of boys. They
tried to dodge me, but I recognized Turner. I thought it was too big a group
for an ordinary occasion.

Prof. Gay You are right. I'll bet five dollars that Turner was in that
business last night. He is the smartest man in the class ; he is also the meanest.

Prof. Ware The town people are the maddest they have been in years.
Mr. Skinner's big shepherd dog was sheared into the hide ; Dr. Clinton's finest
rooster is gone (the rooster cost him ten dollars) ; there is a shameful sign on
Matthew's store.

Prof. Lewis I move, Mr. President, that you send some one for Turner.

Prof. Gay I second the motion. But Turner is a slick duck; just watch
him slip from under us when he gets here.

The President Do not condemn the fellow before he has been given a
chance. If he is guilty we will expel him. Mr. Dargan, will you please go
for Turner.''

Prof. Mikell I have not said anything yet, but I believe that Brown is as
mean as Turner. You know it has not happened in years that we have had
two of the smartest men in the class to turn out to be also the two meanest. My
idea is we shall never get to the bottom of this.

(Turner comes in, takes his seat. This is not his first time before the

Faculty. Yet, he has never been found guilty of anything definite. He is

very calm.)

[87]

T

Mr. President Mr. Turner, you. are summoned before this Faculty to tell
us what information you may have concerning last night's destructive work.
This is the most serious thing that has ever happened to us. It is calculated
to put a stain on our good name that we cannot get over for years. There
are five Freshmen missing. Some have gone so far as to say they suspect
murder. I do not share this opinion, however. But the work is that of des-
peradoes and not school boys. AVe have reason to believe that you know
something of this. We do not suspect you as particeps criminis.

Prof. Gay You are speaking only for yourself, Mr. President. I think
not only that Turner knows about it, but that he was the leader.

The President Where were you going last night, Mr. Turner, when you
met Prof. Rhodes, and how many boys were with you.''

Turner I am very sorry that any member of this Faculty should think
that I was a party to that affair last night. I beg Prof. Rhodes' pardon, but
he is wrong. I was not out of my room. A crowd of boys came to my room
about seven-thirty, wanting me to join them in a little innocent anmsement for
the evening. I had some extra work in Philosophy on hand, and consequently
could not join them.

The President Who were the boys who came to your room.''

Turner Brown and Hopkins, Jack Freel and Sterling Miller.

The President Who was spokesman for the crowd .'^'

Turner Brown.

The President What did he say they were going to do.''

Turner He said that they had a little innocent anuisement up and would
like me to join them.

The President Why you more than anyone else.^

Turner They said if they should be caught up with I could get them out
of trouble more easily than anyone else.

The President Did this not appeal to your vanity.''

Turner I would have joined them if I had not been in the race for honors.

Prof. Rhodes Did you say, Mr. Turner, that I did not see you last night.''

Turner It seems that I made a remark of that kind. Prof. Rhodes.

Prof. Rhodes I think I know ypu pretty well. I am sure that the jjerson
I saw wore a suit very much like yours, and hat also.

Turner I am not responsible for all the fellows who lia})pen to wear suits
like mine.

Prof. Rhodes It is possible I may have mistaken. If so I beg your par-
don for connecting your name in this affair.

The President Mr. Turner, I want to ask you one other question, do you
know anything at all about this affair.

Turner I do not.

The President You may go.

Prof. Gay Turner is the biggest liar that ever hit this town. He has a
brilliant mind. He is the leader of that gang.

Prof. Mikell You are wrong; Brown is the mainspring of this business.

7Vif' President Mr. Dargan, please bring Brown.

1881

T

Prof. Rhodes What do you reckon happened to those Freslnnen? Surely
notliing serious befell them.

Prof. Ware Rhodes, hand nie a cigar. Watch me blow a "ringer" some
class to that.

Prof. Rhodes Any man can blow "ringers" on the other man's cigars.

Prof. Ware I was animadverting on some dia])hramic ])henomcna today
and what do you think I discovered, Mikell.

Prof. MikellBuW, I guess.

(Brown comes in.)

The President Have a seat, Mr. Brown. You are cognizant of all the
things that happened last nigiit. We want all the information you have on
the subject. Your name has been slightly connected with it. You wish to
clear it up, I am sure.

Brown To be sure I would not like to be condemned without a trial. I am
sure I can set myself right in your eyes.

The President What time were you in Turner's room last night.''

Brown I was not in Turner's room at all last night. Hopkins came to
my room and asked me to go to Turner's, but I had a severe headache so I told
him that I was going to bed immediately.

The President Was there anyone with Hopkins .f"

Brown No, sir.

The President Did you go to bed immediately?

Brown I did.

The President Did you hear that alarm this morning at two o'clock.

Brown I did not.

The President What is your attitude toward such an incident as happened
last night.''

Brown Uncompromisingly antagonistic.

The President Do you know anything about the affair.?

Brown I do not.

The President That is all, you may go.

Prof. Gay Brown would make lago ashamed of himself.

Prof. Mil-ell I like these fellows. I do not believe they are the right ones.
They may know about it, but I venture that the fellow who did it has not been
mentioned. I said at first that it is my opinion that Brown was the man and
I think yet that he is mean enough to do it, although he put up a pretty
straight tale.

The President Prof. Rhodes, will you call Hopkins.''

Prof. Gay These three fellows have talked this matter over. They are
agreed. This is a made-up story they are telling us. They are the very fel-
lows who planned and executed the work.

Prof. Ware Hand me another cigar, Rhodes, and watch me "ringer"
some class to this.

Prof. Mil-ell I move that the Faculty throw in a mite to get Ware enough
cigars to do him next week. I wonder what he does when he is at home.''

(Hopkins comes in. He has on a good looking suit of clothes, kid gloves
and holds a fashionable derby in his hand.)

[89]

m

THHE A

The President Mr. Hojjkins, you are cliiii-uvd with partic-i|)atin<i- in the
general tear-u]) of hist nigiit. I ex])ect you to tell the truth.

Hopkins It shall be my greatest ])leasure to give you whatever informa-
tion I may possess.

The President Where were you last night about seven-thirty.''

Hopkins I was three miles out of town last night, spending a while with
my friend. Hatcher.

The President Brown said you were at his room last night; so did Turner.

Hopkins They are both truthful boys, but they are certainly wrong. I
came home this morning about chapel time. My brother, who graduated here
last year, was at the dormitory last night. He went round to Brown's room;
so he told me today. He said while he was there that Turner and some other
bovs came in. Did Turner or Brown say Jim Hopkins or just Hopkins.?

Prof. Rhodes That's right : they did not say Jim Hopkins and I remember
.seeing your brother here today.

The President You may go.

Prof Ware Give me another cigar some class to this.

The President Last night's work is deeply concealed.
Nor will it soon be revealed.

Scene Three Brown's room. Two o'clock in the morning. Hopkins,
Brown, and Turner are in earnest conversation. The light burns dimly. The
bed has not been touched during the night.

Brown The five Freshmen were loosed at sundown. They are cooked.
One of them has something desperate in his mind. He bought a number one
pistol today and has sworn that he will shoot me before the sun goes down
on another day.

Hopkins Are they going to tell everything.'

Turner They are afraid to ojien their mouths; furthermore, they will not
touch a one of us.

Brown It worked as smoothly as oiled machinery.

Hopkins The tale we put up to the Faculty was some stroke of genius.
J believe they have rested the case.

Turner The President is going to call us all kinds of names in the morn-
ing at Chapel. We had better macadami/e our faces tonight the rest of it.

Brown I have an idea. ^

Hopkins What is it?

Brown Confess the whole story at chajiel in the morning and ask for the
clemency of the court.

Hopkins What are you talking about? You are a fool. \o confession
for me. If you are going to do that, help me pack my trunk and I will be a
good ways from here when you are making your little confession. It would
be a nice climax to our story. What do you say Turner?

Turner Brown is a favorite of the Faculty and it would not hurt him
much. But it will ruin me as I am in the race for honors. Of course it would
save the Facultv a lot of trouble. But Ho])kins must face the music, too. If
they ex])el one, all must go.

Hopkins I can stand it if you fellows can, because I have not nmch to
lose. I pro{)ose that we have a speech ajiiece at chapel.

[90]

Y f^

M

Brown You misunderstand me just a little. My conscience is not troub-
ling me in the least. Oiilv one consideration would lead me to the step we
are about to take.

Hopkins What is that, Brown.''

Brown With the proper speeches before the Faculty and the student body
in the morning we shall be the three most prominent men in college. I suggest
that Turner make the first speech, _vou the second, and I the third. Today is
the big political day of the year. We will elect every officer for next year. Do
you get me? When we confess the President will make a speech in our behalf
and praise us to the skies for the manly confession tell the student body how
much he thinks of us. Do you get me.''

Turner By George, Brown, you out Sherlock Holmes. It has come to
me on a freight train, but I have you at last. You saw all this when you
planned the work of last night. I retire from the race for first honor and
will so announce it when I make my confession.

Brown The Faculty ti'ies but cannot find

What some niftv bovs have in mind.

The Miracle of the Ideal

By HlCUl I'Ari.HII.I, RoHEKTS

^^^SfT was in the early fall. Tliere were nt) birds singing in tlie trees.
Tl Tile flowers were dead, leaving no color anywliere, save the dull
brown of leaves and trees. The wild sadness of the season over-
shadowed all.

Down the sidewalk came Robert Arling, a cadet of A. M. A. His uniform
showed the usual neatness characteristic of a cadet of this historic institution.
His step was uncertain, and he ajjpeai-ed to lie deeply worried over sometiiing.
In his hand he was holding his first report of tiie vear. It was by no means
a good report all "D's" but one "C."

He glanced down at tlie two little gold bars on his right sleeve. One
highest honor he liad won in his freshman year ; the other liigii honor in
his sopliomore year. These seemed to remind him of forgotten days. For his
third and fourth years there was no bars. He was now a senior, and, from this
first report of the year, it was evident that there would be only two bars on
his sleeve at Connnencemcnt, next Spring.

What was the trouble.^ Was some unknown disease eating its way into
his brain.'' Had he exhausted iiis brain power? Or had he merely lost in-
terest in his studies.'' All these (juestions ran swiftly through his mind as he
walked on toward school.

At the next corner a girl passed across tlie street in front of him. Her
figure was slender, but outlined with graceful corners, and down her back a
mass of golden curls hung. Her face, too, was beautiful. But this was no-
thing unusual ; nature had been liberal to his home town, in tiic matter of
beautiful girls.

But somehow his eyes seemed to adiiere to this small figure, as she passed
before him. Then he recognized her it was Mildred Carlton. He had known
Mildred at grammar school so well in fact as to be termed just a little worse
than friends. But that was a long time ago, when he was young and foolish,
he thought.

He would have called out, "Hello, Mildred!"; would have gone up to her
and renewed a friendshij) that iiad once been. He might renew sometiiing
worse, though, or else develop it, and his report would surely not bear for him
to indulge in love, that disease that does not even stop at death. Love is an
idle man's business he thought better be shy. And so sinking down into his
melancholy, he continued toward the school.

His day passed by as usual giving poor recitations, hurrying home for
lunch, and then back to coaching classes. And now lie was sitting before the
dying coals, studying. The crow of neighbors' roosters broke the silence of
the night and told him it was bed time. Getting up from his chair he took five
graham crackers from a box on the table, ate them, and went to bed.

Sleep came instantly, and the dreams of bygone days. He was in gram-
mar school again, reciting. How easily he answered the questions ! There
were Amy, Louise, Annie, Margaret, and across to his right was Mildred
smiling adorable, little Mildred. He wrote a note and passed it over to her,
and, reading it, she tossed her jiretty curls and smiled how sweet that smile
was. He seemed to be in a fairv land with the queen, and he wished to remain

1921

T

E

forever. Then lie felt himself half awake ; he tried to prolong iiis dream, but
it passed like a summer cloud, and now lie was again in a world grown too
wise to laugh and sing, cold and cruel.

That morning he took just a little more pains with his toilet ; lie did not
know why. Around iMildred he began to fashion, slowly, with the skill of a
sculptor, his ideal. Days passed, each one adding to his ideal, and the higher
he constructed it, the more he found himself trying to live up to it. His friends
began to notice something strange about him. His shoes were always shined,
trousers creased, hair cut, a dash of cologne on his handkerchief, and he wore
an agreeable smile.

The end of the month came, and a report, as of old. All "straight "A's" !
His ideal was accomplishing the miracle, was pulling him up, and up, and he
never seemed content to stop. But he was not satisfied.

The afternoons he once spent in coaching classes, he now spends in roaming
the streets and standing on the corner in hope of seeing his ideal. But ever he
studied at night. Christmas came, and in the mad rush of the crowd, he saw
phantoms of her always a fleeting glance. Sometimes he tried to follow her,
but always he lost her in the mad rush.

His heart seemed to generate love for Mildred, and it was like a boiler with
no outlet. To relieve the strain he flirted with the girls over at the 5c and 10c
store, and with the auburn haired little cashier over at the "Gaiety." He was
now walking aimlessly down the street, and, seized with a sudden desire for
candy, he drifted into the .5c and 10c store.

"Hello, little goo-goo eyes," he said to the baby-faced girl at the candy
department. "Give me a quarter of a pound of your best chocolates."

"Certainly," she said with a smile as she weighed out some chocolate creams.

Just then Jimmy Smith came up and, putting one hand to his mouth,
whispered: "I'm gonna tell Mildred on you." One day when his emotions were
high he had told Jimmy about Mildred and had described her with not a few
superlatives.

Robert put the creams in his pocket and, seeing the floor-walker approach-
ing, moved on. Jimmy began to say sweet things to little "Googoo Eyes,"
letting the floor-walker come right up to him, and in his confusion he bought
a half pound of "Longboy Bucket Mixture."

Near the middle of the store Robert was attracted by a new girl selling
candy at an extra counter put up to take care of the Christmas rush. He
walked over and said, "Give me a dime's worth of these chocolates, please."
He meant to say something else, but she seemed so nice and pretty. She was
not the usual "Chewing-Gum-Liz" type; she was a fine girl, just working to
earn some Christmas money, probably. In her, he seemed to see a resemblance
to his long lost Mildred. She seemed to be trying to recognize him asking
bim useless questions. "A dime's worth did you say.""' and "Do you want it
mixed.'"' She looked up from her scales to steal a glance at him, and kept on
putting in candy, after the scales had balanced. He was confused. He put
the candy in his pocket and moved on toward the door, for he saw Jimmy ap-
proaching, and his, "I'm gonna tell Mildred on you," would surely complicate
things. Jimmy was cartoonist for the school paper why didn't he get funny
in it ; there was plenty of opportunity. Robert wished he would go to a cer-
tain place that begins with an "H" Heaven, or hospital.

A little way down the street he pitched the first bag of candy to a news-boy?
and went into a "movie." When he came out he went straight to the depart-
ment store for more candv. That must have been Mildred, he thought. Her

[93]

TH

hand was so dainty and ])rutty. Just to toucli it in giving her the dime, was
worth the price of a pound of candy, but he liad mistaken ; for, while he was at
the Ci^unter, her companion called her by name. Edith it was, so he was soon
in tlie streets again, where the mad rush of Christmas shoppers seemed to dis-
tract him.

Tlie Christmas holidays were soon over and in his studies Robert gradu-
ally lost his mad passion to find Mildred, yet still she stayed in his imagina-
tion, as an ideal. Some day fate would bring them together again. He would
live right, prepare, and make himself worthy of her.

The winter slip|)ed (juickly away and spring came, with its sunsliinc and
flowers ; and his ideal once more began to haunt him. He saw her in his
dreams, in the rocks, in flowers, and in the clouds ; and felt her in the frag-
rance of the meadow ; even he heard the echo of her voice in the voice of
the birds.

Commencement ciinie, bringing him high honors, but they seemeil as nothing.
Ambition was burning in him. He saw things in the world to be done, and he
wanted to get out and do them. When the world dealt him cruel blows he
wanted someone to take him and dress his wounds, as it were, and inspire him;
and he wanted that someone to be Mildred.

It was now the day after Commencement, and Robert was on his way home
from town. He stopped before a shop window for a minute, and on looking
u]), he saw his ideal, his own sweet little Mildred. He tried to sjieak, but
couldn't. As she had not recognized him, he decided to follow her, to fin!
where she lived.

At the corner she turned, and in turning, he saw her face again in profile.
She looked so sweet and dainty, so slender and petite, so beautiful, he wante 1
to take her in his arms, draw her to him, and crush her as he would a rose.

For three blocks he followed, admiring, worshiping her. And then she
turned in the direction of the sand hill district, that small forbidden region of
failure. des])air, and death; the blot ujjon the fair name of the city, whither
the souls of many youths had gone before never to return. Why was she go-
ing there.'' There seemed to be no answer.

Two blocks on she turned at the gate of a large brick house Mildred I the
girl of his dreams ; the girl that had kindled a new fire in him, had made an
honor man of him, had given him a new gri]) on life! His ideal was shattered.
He hesitated at the gate. He would go in. Life no longer meant anything.

But his ideal had molded dee]) down in his character something that re-
fused to let him act. He was unable to move. Then, as a man who hesitated
to get out of bed on a cold morning, and then suddenly gets u]) without any
effort, Robert turned and walked in the direction of his home on the other
side of town.

As he walked silently toward his home, he failed to heai- the ne\er ceasing
song of birds, to smell the fragrance of the grass and flowers of the wayside,
to appreciate the fresh warm coats worn by the trees. He failed to see a young
lady as he turned the corner of a rose covered fence. He ran into her, his
right foot tripping her. He reached out his arm to keep her from falling to
the pavement, and then he looked down, down into the large blue eves of
]Mildrcd. The world in his arm !

She was no longer a wisp of a girl, her hair no longer hung in curls down
her back; for she wsa youth, womanhood in the bud. She exclaimed:

"Why, Robert ! Hello, Robert !"

"Mildred ! W^here have you been ?" was all he could say.

[94]

TH

"Oh," she said, "I just graduatud from M. H. S. in Cartilage yesterday,
and arrived home this morning."'

Five minutes hiter on tiieir way to her home a long, lanky individual lifted
his hat, put one hand to his mouth and whispered:

"Gonna tell Mildred on vou."

"Preach" Verdery, Editor

'Dago" Attridge, Anst. Editor

The Joke Editor may work until
His brains and hands are sore,

But some poor duffer 's sure to say
"Aw, I've heard that before."

HEARD IN CLASS

Prof : "In what three states does matter appear?"
Freshman : "Georgia, Alabama and Florida."

Mr. Copeland : "Norvell, tui-n around here and pay attention."

Norvell: "Mr. Copeland I can't help laughing at those kids."

Mr. Copeland : "If A'ou'd look at me you wouldn't have to laught at them."

Mr. Cason : "What effect has a bad note on music.'"'
Bright Guy: "It sounds like the Academy Band."

COPIED FROM THE CHRONICLE

_ "Several hundred feet of this local Moving Picture film are devoted to
activities at Richmond County Academy. Major George P. Bullcr and faculty
are seen on the old campus, followed b^' Major E. C. B. Danforth, Jr.,
and staff."

Oificers' Club

Razzle : "Did you see Tom and Dorothy 'camel'.'"
Dazzle: "I don't know Dorothy Campbell."

Sweet Female : "Morton, dear, I'm getting cold." "Venus" immediately
arises from beside her, goes down and fires the furnace.

ADVICE TO sf:niors

How to get engaged :

1. Get an automobile (Coninie Monsieur N'erderv).

2. Get a good "line" (Comme Howell et Phinizy).

3. Get a dress suit (Coninie Monsieur Nor\el!).

4. Get a job (Coninie Monsieur Synniis).

5. Get a girl (Connne Henry et Diminock).

6. Keep other fellows away (Comme Monsieur Tiioiii]json).

,aAiE.*v''

A. R. C. Senior: "You are the very breath of inv life."
She: "Then hold your breath for a while."

Many an arm has gone to waist in an automobile.

HONEST CONFESSION
Mr. J. L. S. : "We are now dealing with concrete objects."
Burdashaw: "You haye been dealing with them eyer since you'yc been
teaching me."

Here's another smile to add to the list: The smile that Major giyes just
before he hands out the report cards ; it's the most cynical of them all.

Dicken's an author, also a polite term for the deyil. (Ex.)

A dollar is getting to be of such little yalue that it will hardly pay for
the wear and tear on your pocket. (Ex.)

Osric : "What's the difference between ammonia and pneumonia.'"
Oswald: "One comes in bottles, the other in chests." (Ex.)

Concering College foot ball teams
Too oft it comes to pass,

The man who's half-back in the field
Is 'way back in his class.

DURING ENGLISH CLASS

Phess: "On my grand-father's farm was a large dam which extended as
far as from here, (the Historic) to Jackson street. Now what does that
remind you of.'"'

Student : "A dam lie."

A certain lady sa_vs that the cause of tlie recent break between her daughter
and Capt. Phinizj', is Tom's tendency for rash love-making and her daughter's
dislike for it.

Why does Sergeant Philpot like mules?
Oh vou Maud !

Say "Boo !" and watch Sergeant Cleckley blush.

Who ruined Thompson's young life?
Crook !

Prof. Cordle upon leaving Lombard's swimming pond remarked that it was
the first time that he had been in the water in two years. (He hasn't been to
Lombard's since that time.)

Guy and Bryan are now called the Mary brothers.

When Mr. Scruggs visited the Medical College, whj' did he ask if the
diaphragm was air-tight?

His Annual

AIE

Old painter to beginner : "I painted
some fruit that was so real that when I
placed it out to drv, the birds picked
at it."

Beginner : "That's nothing. I painted
a picture of a hen so real that when I
put it on the siielf it laid there."

THE DIFFERENCE

When an officer makes a mistake he
savs : "As vou were." When a private
makes a mistake, he gets h 1.

GEOMETRY
Proposition I.

Theorem: If I love her theji she loves me.
Given : I love her.
To prove: That she loves me.
Proof: I love her (given).
But, all the world loves a lover.
(Old saying, having been proved before.)
Since She is all the world to me (substitution).
.:. She loves me. Q. E. D. (Ex.)

Doctor: "Shall I vaccinate your arm-f""

Actress: "Heavens! No, of course not. Think of me, an actress, with a
scar on my arm. You must vaccinate me where it won't show."

Doctor : "I think in that case you had better take it internally."

Getting Down to Brass Tacks

A girl who makes a hit witli me
'Tis little Sallie Green;

She never has aspired to be
A motion picture queen.

The lass we doff our chapeaux to
Is little Sadie Dorm

She doesn't have a duck fit
When she sees a uniform.

The maid I say, wlio'll take the cake
Is pretty Dorothy Mix,

Her eyes her hair lier lips
And her Hudson Super Six. (Ex.)

The ACADEMY
of RICHMOND
COUNTY

AUGUSTA, GA.

(Founded in 1783)

STANDARDS-

The oldest educational institution in this part of the South, it has done a notable service
in training her sons for more than a century and a third. Hijjh ideals of scholarship are
second only to the standards of character which are demanded. Adaptation of its work to
the needs of the individual has been developed to an unusual extent, resulting in a degree of
efficiency impossible without such flexibility. This is combined with the long-established
policy of requiring a reasonable amount of satisfactory work by every student if he is to
remain in the school.

These high standards have been fully justified by the excellence of the records made by
the graduates and by the well-attested popularity of the school, its attendance having trebled
within the last decade.

EQUIPMENT

Campus extending over most of a large city block contains the Academic Building, the
Technical Building, the Dormitory, the Armory and the Field House; Warren Park on the
outskirts of the City is one of the finest Athletic Fields in the South. The Science Labora-
tories, the Woodshop, the Forge and Machine Shop, the Drawing Room and the Commercial
Department are especially well-equipped for first-class work.

COURSES

Classical, Scientific, Technical, Commercial and General extended over four years of
Standard High School Work and one year of Freshman College work the latter identical
with most of the Freshman Courses at the University of Georgia and the Georgia School of
Technolog)' where our graduates entering as full Sophomores have made an enviable repu-
tation for the Academy.

Military Training is compulsory except for Seniors and other students eighteen years of
age. All athletic teams are under Faculty supervision and coaching.

DORMITORY

A large brick building with excellent equipment, steam heat, hot and cold water, shower
baths, electric lights, etc. Dormitory students deficient in any study are required to study in
the Study Hall with a Teacher in charge to supervise and assist them. The Dormitory ad-
ministration is fully abreast with the standards insisted upon in other departments of the
school. Board and tuition are reduced to a minimum.

ON BEING STINGY

There is nothing sting}' about ])lanning your expenditures so that you
can save a reasonable percentage of what you earn. Some of the stingest
men never save anytliing. They ai'e so stingy they do not earn much, and so
narrow minded they cannot save any of that.

The best savers are the big, broad-minded people who know when and
how to spend a dollar, and who have sense enough to know that a few cents
out of every dollar earned should be saved.
