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

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

"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

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

Lionel Koppel Levy 

Xon-drill Technical 

"]]'(' tiliall not !<fe his like againJ' 

Lionel is noted far and wide for his ability as a 
cartoonist. His wonderful and marvelous sense of hu- 
mor is a valuable asset to his drawing, examples of 
which abound in this Annual. Leafy talks all day with- 
out saying anything, yet he has accumulated more 
units than any other member of the class. 

Noted: Honors 1, 2, 3, 4.; Corp. 3; Sgt. 4; Retired 5; 
Art Editor of "The ARC" i, 5; Winner individual prize 
drill 3. 





Marion Walton Norvell 
Non-drill General 

"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 
made himeslf very well known on lower Telfair St. 

Noted: Private 2, 3, 4; Retired .5; Last Will and

Thomas Burdell Phinizy 
Captain Scientific 

"Be serioun: and apply your chief est thoughts to 
courtship." 

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.

"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.

Norman Millett Tobey ....

"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.

Marion Crawford Yerdery 
Ist Lieutenant Technical 

"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.

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.

Minutes of the Class of 1920 

B)i Cai't. R. a. Symms 

^ 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. 

Item 2 : To Mr. J. F. Cason we leave the love and gratitude of the Class 
of 1920; and, as an inspiration to his thoughts and memories of this Class, we 
bequeath to him one cob pipe, to enjoy, without let or hinderance, that he may 
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 
without detection ; where napkins are never soiled ; and where the supply of 
"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. 

To Mademoiselle Kenneth Fourcher and Miss Roberta Walton we bequeath 
each a vanity case and a powder puff' so that their "Dolly Dimple" complexions 
will asume the desired rosy aspect. 

To all supporters of Darwin's Theory of Evolution, we present one ]\Ieade 
Owens, known as "Little Nemo the Monkey Man," the long sought for "Mis- 
sing Link." 

We bequeath to George Brittingham one volume on "How to Make Good 
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 
our faithful janitor, Albert, excusing him on account of the great trust which 
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]

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 :

50-jard dash, (5 1-5 seconds Caldwell, Norvell, Sack

As the Annual goes to press, it is too early to tell the outcome of the meet 
with Lanier, but according to the above records the track-team may be relied 
on to make a creditable showing.

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

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.

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.

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

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."

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.
