T

Foundation of The Academy of
Richmond County

^^=^HK Aciuk'inv of Ricliiiioiul Countv is the oldest educational institution
^ J in Georgia, and tlie fourtli oldest in the United States. The . Statute
of 1788, under which it was eieated, may not be a technical charter,
and no corjiorate name was given to tile Board, which, though not called
Trustees of the Richmond Academy, was referred to sometimes as the Com-
missioners of Richmond County, sometimes as the Trustees of Augusta, and
sometimes as the Trustees of the Academy and the Church. The original act
did not designate the duties of the Board. They exercised all manner of
powers, nianv of them diverse, and from our present standpoint incongrous.
It laid out the town, numbered the lots, named the streets, built St. Paul's
Chuich, managed the Academy and cliose tiie teachers, ran a lottery, repaired
the river bank, narrowed Broad 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 tlie fact that the
land in and around Augusta was held under royal grants, containing a provi-
sion that the ])urchaser should imjtroxe tiie i)ro|)erty within a given time, or
else that the lot should revert back to the King. Many of these lots had been
bought u]i by those 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 the 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 the school
could be established. But tiic 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 ciiildren to be ilej)rived of that which was instantly
needed. But the Board looked at it from a financial stand })oint, 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 INIarch 27, 1784,
presented as a grievance "tile want of a seminary of learning." This stimulated
til'' Board, and they let a contract for the erection of a schoolhouse. This
contiactor died before any work was done and the Grand Jury again in Octo-
b'jr, 1784', presented as a grievance "the languishing situation of the intended
academy or seminary of learning." The Boaid tiien rescinded the contract
with the executor of tiie deceased contractor, but appeared to have been unable
to forward the building. The Grand Jury, again lesponding to the jiublic
imjiatieiice, on ^larch 24, 1785, presented as a grievance "the Commissioners
for the jiublic buildings of this town for not making proper exertions in getting
the church and acatieiiiy erected, notwithstanding the funds appropriated for
the purpose and wliicli are deemed moi-e than adeijuate to carry the same into
execution." This jiiesentmeiit stirred them into motion, and on the next day,

March 23, 1785, '"tlio Board liaving consulted upon tlio employiiK'iit of a
IVIastor for the Acackiiiy, ami Mr. Wm. Rotors, hitc of tliu state of ]\Iarvlaii(l,
luniiig been well recoiiiiiiended, as beiiif;' of good fame aiid svitt'icieiitiy learned in

brandies of niatiieniatics, according to the rules estai)lislied and practiced in
the seminaries of learning and rejidiiig in tile I'nited States. t'liildren learning
letters and reading, will l)e cliarged $4.00; those learning tiie principles of the
Knlish grammar and ci|)heriiig, .$.'5.00; and tiiose leai'iiing tlie Latin and
Greek languages, or any branch of tlie mathematics, $10.00 pt'i- (|uarter."
The sciiool establisiied was for boys and girls and remained so for a long
period, its exact termination not being known.

On the same day tliev resoKed that a iiiercliant i)e employed to import
books, the list of uliicli sliows a iiigll standard for the new school. Also l<'reiicii
and Englisii tutois were i-mployed at a salary of $;{0() eacli.

The school was first held in some building that iiad forinerly been used in
pie-ieyoiutionary days, and was opened in Ajirii, 178.5, tile first commencc-
nieiit being on October 24, 17cS{i. We cannot determine exactly winie tiie first
scliooihouse was located, but the minutes of May, 1784, show tiiat tiie Hoard let
the contract for a building wliicli was to lie erected on the square bounded iiy
Wasiiington, Reynolds, McLitosh and Bay, the academy to be exactly in tiie
center; a large gate, ayenue and court to be exactly in tiie front, and a garden
from the back to the rear. Tiiis site was abandoned, and tiie first sciiooliiouse
was erected on B;iy between KIbert and Lincoln. Li it court was held, and also
church services, until 178!), wlieii St. Paul's was built. Tliis building was
spoken of as tenement \o. 9. There was evidently aiiotiu'r large building on
tile adjoining lot, foi', at the same time, it was iH'soived that file lot No. 8
"should be reserved until the furtlier ordi^r of tiie Board for the sessions of tlie
General Assembly, and for tiie liolding of the Su})erior and Inferior Courts of
the county, togetiier with the Circuit and District Coui-ts of the Lnited States,
<ind tliat for tliat purpose tiie keys were to be given to iiis Kxecellency upon his
a]j])Iication, who is required after tiie rising of tiie Legislature to deliver the
same to tiie sheriff' for tiie uses last naimil. '

The Public Kxaminations wi'i'e lirld in tiie spring and fall, ami it is most
intere.sting to note to what great importance tiu'V were considered iiy tiie
entire community. Tiiev were attended by the Board officially and by the
])ublic generally; soinetiines by the (iovernor and tlii' Executive Council, later
by the City Council in a body. The first of wliicli \\c iiave any record is tliat
of March :50, 17H(), and another in July, 1789.

The abo\'e article was written l)V l''elton Davis of tlu' Class of 191(i, and
was published in last year's "ARC." We are |iuiiiisiiiiig it again tliis \car

Harry is another one of the mystery men of our class. The
jrreat myslery surroundin;? his life is how he "speeds" up and
down the paveil streets of Auf?nsta in his Ford, and at the
same time evades the speed cops. I have heard it said that
lie even drives at the terrific rate of twelve miles an liour
and thinks nothinjr of this feat. Another mystery is: who is
the ffirl who accompanies him on these reckle.ss rides?

A cold wind blows, the windows siiakc ;

A dank, drear mist the world ciislirouds.
Lo ! Softly stealing' up the stair.s-

Witli stealthy, silent, creeping -tread,
A noiseless shape slips swiftly by;

A shadow like the ghostly dead.

He mo\es along the dim-lit hall.

Two doors are passed in safe advance.
And when the third at length is reached

The night-hawk seems to see his chance.
He turns the knob, a gentle j)usli.

And noiselessly the door .swings wide;
With furtive glance on either hand.

He swiftly, softly .steps inside.

Then silently with niu.scles tcn.sc.

He ([uiekly sti'ides across the floor.
Deft fingers stai-t that old-time task

They havt' so often done before.

The breath of life seems to have fled,
And Hiankful fr)i- his luckv "lark,"'

Moonlight

The moon came out, tlie stars did shine.

Tiic nie-lit was warm and clear.
I sat witii her beneath the trees,

And she was very near.

The nightingales their songs did sing;

We heard the whispering breeze ;
Her head upon my shoulder lay,

She sat upon my knees.

She softly j)urred into my ear.
And gently snuggled "clos't" ;

Of all the things that I hold dear,
I love mv cat the most.

THE A

The Silent Lovers

BS they sat there on the cold stone bench, in tlie Venetian garden, tlie
moon had risen over the silver-tinted waters of the lake, casting grotes-
que siuidows about the rose-lined paths that were born of beauty and rom-
ance. There was a fragrant odor of spring in tlie gentle zephyrs, and the
leaves were softly whispering.

The gossamer veil, fallen from iier shoulders, revealed the delicately curved
arms and throat eniianced by the ghostly white glow of the moon. He held
her liand in his and dared to place an arm around her supple waist. His face
was turned in worsliipful supplication to liers, and siie demurely hung her head.

Tile music from tlie white mansion at the waters edge had long since died
awav with one langorous wait/, borne to their unlieariiig ears bv a light south-
ern breeze, and the lights in the windows blinked out one by one. Still they sat
oblivious of all, yet his arm did not venture farther, his hand did not increase
its pressure ujion hers, his lips did not entreat a single kiss. The moon waned
till it was a dim ball struggling against the increasing redness of the rising
sun. The night gave way to dawn.

They spoke no word. Theii- hearts were of stone; the sculptor had made
a masterpiece when he carved "The Lovers."

THE AE

The Military Department

lill H i: li \' K V M. Cl.KCKI.EY

y^^HK Militarv Dupaitnunt of the Ac-;i(ic'iiiv of Hic'luiionil C'oimtv was first
V, J oi^raiii/ud in IHS'J uiulii' flio coinmand of C'apt. J. (). Clark. At tlio time
tinio of organization it consisted ot only one i-oinpaiiy. From this mo-
dest bcf>'inning lias irrown our wull-f(|iii|)i'd, well-drillrd Hattalion of today.

As the enrollment of the school increased it became necessary to form two
companies; later three anil finally the present Battidion of four companies.

Tn 191. "5 a new and very valuable feature was added to the Military Depart-
ment bv the organizing of a Cadet Band. The Band has kejjt pace with the
rest of the Battalion and today is a useful and efficient unit. The Band de-
serves especial credit, as it ha.s never received any professional instruction and
its membership lias always been limited to bona fide student.s.

A new military feature at the Academy has been the introduction of ex-
tended order drill by Maj. Danforth during the })ast two years. A daily drill
of about forty minutes is held in whicli close order drill, the manual of arms,
firing connnands and extended order are j)ractised. The big military events of
the year are the two jirize drills, held annually in ]\Iay. The first of these, the
Individual Prize Drill, is luld on the Campus; each Ca])tain selects the ten best
drilled men from his company. This s(juad is then drilled in the manual of
arms and firing connnands until by a |)rocess of elimination, cadets being
thrown out on making three mistakes, the ten best drilled men in the Battalion
are deteiMuiiied.

The drilling is then continued until only the best di-illed cadet remains.
The winner of the Individual Drill receives the Lew ]\Ie(hd. Soon after the
Individual Drill the Comi)any Prize Drill takes place at ^Varren I'ark ; each
company drills for about twelve minutes, dividing the time among close order,
extended order, the manual of arms ami firing connnands.

The judges of these drills are officers in the National Guard and other
men of military ex])erience. After each comjjany has drilled the judges com-
pare notes and decide on the best drilled company. Based on its showing in
both the Individual Drill and the Com])aiiy Drill, the best Companv of tiie vear
is selected and its Captain ])resentcfl with the Preparedness Cup.

Another imj)ortant feature of the year from a military standpoint is the
Memorial Day Parade, in which the Richmond Academy Battalion joins with
the various other organizations of the city to pay homage to our Confederate
dead, and to do honoi- to those Ci\il War heroes that are still among us.

It has usually been the practice each spiing for the officers and non-com-
missioned officers to go out to one of the rifle ranges formerly used bv Cam]i
Hancock and have target jiractice. Considering the lack of regular jjractice,
some very creditable scores have been made.

The Battalion now has three uniforms: a dress uniform, consisting of blue
coat and cap ith white trousers, which is worn on all formal occasions; a
fatigue uniform, made up of the blue coat and cap with grey woolen trousers,
^\hich is woi-n daily throughout most of the year; and a sununer uniform, com-
])osed of the grey W(;olen trousers and the blue cap with a blue shirt of very
light matei-jal, which is worn during the warmer months of the school term.

During the last two years platoon coinjjetitive drills have been held off and
on. This year the 1st Platoon, Coni])any A, under Lt. G. Merry, aciiieved
the distinction of winning both the conij)etitions among tlie first platoons. The
Slid Platoon, of the same company, under I^t. R. Piiil])ot, won the first contest
between 2nd ])latoons. The second com])ctitive thill between second platoons
was won by tiie second platoon of Co. R, under lA. A. Kilpatrick, Later in a
drill to determine tiie best platoon, either 1st or 2nd, in the entire Battalion,
Lt. Kilpatrick's platoon was judged superior to all others and was sent to re-
present the Academy in an exhibition drill at tiie Tubman High School.

Today the military organization })resents ()uite a contrast to the one lone
Com})any of 1882. We now have INLij. Danforth and his start', four companies
of ten squads each under cadet officers, and a well-equipped band. Instead of
tiic anti(]uated nmskets that we formerly used we now have modern Krag Car-
bines. Competitive drills are frequently held, serving as a stimulus to the
cadet ort'icers. Once a year a tri]) to the rifle range is taken. \ow we have
not only close order drill, but we also learn something of the principles of com-
bat in extended order. All things considered our Military De|)artnient has
progressed wonderfully ami is keeping jjace with an ever growing, constantly
nnproving Richmond Academy.

The "Hi-Y" Club

>^=^ HIS is a time of wonderful progress in all lines of tliougiit and activity.
V^ J Tlie inintls of men have been devoted, as never before, to otiier interests
tiian their own business. Thev have given freely of their talents and
labors to the ideals, thoughts, accomplishments and welfare of the bov.

Various organizations have been created. Ranking with the greatest of
these is the "Hi-Y" Club.

The Academy "Hi-Y" Club is an organization composed of the upper-
classmcn of the school who stand for clean speech, clean spirit, and clean living.
The club was organized in the early j)art of the fall session of the school \ear.
The idea was introduced by Prof. \V. S. Nicholson, head of the History De-
partment. Foimerly of Augusta, he came to us from the Tech High School of
Atlanta and has proven himself a very valuable asset to the school and to the
student body, being known to them as "The Boy's Friend.*' The Academy
club started with an enormous membership ranking ahead of any in the state.
At the first meeting it elected as its President Henry M. North, Jr.: Vice-
President, Jim C. Sherman; Secretary. Guy H. Merry, and Treasurer, Eugene
M. Baker. These men were elected unanimously by the members on account of
their excellent standing and the principles for which they are noted in the school.

Immediately after the election of officers, the club was divided inta five
groups with Henry M. North. Jr., Jim C. Sherman, Hervey M. Cleckley, Billie
Philpot, and William L. Fulghuni as leaders.

These groups play basket-ball, base-ball and various other games, but more
important than all is tiie Bible class. Each group is instructed in the study of
the Bible by an Academy Teacher assigned to the groups by the President
of tl-.e club.

The club meets every Friday evening at 6 o'clock and after games between
the groups, supper is served. The guest is some notable and influential busi-
ness or professional man, who comes prepared after the supper to speak to the
club and give it an idea of his work and the ways in which a success in life can
be made. The club makes it a point to invite men whose occu])ations are along
different lines, so that the club members may have the advantage of making
themsehes familiar with almost any profession or line of work in whicli tl.ey
are interested. After the lecture the club divides itself into its respective
groups for Bible study, after which it adjourns until its next meeting.

Aside from the Friday evening meetings, the club holds Sunday afternoon
meetings, and invites the boys from every grammar school to be present. They
are entertained in various ways : lectures, moving pictures, addresses, etc. These
meetings are held and conducted by the members of the "Hi-Y" Club and are
quite successful, as the number present increases at every meeting.

As you see, the activities of the "Hi-Y' Club are great and extensive, but
j)robably its most valuable feature is the Older Boys* C:)nference. This year
tile conference was held in Athens, Ga., Feb. 2.5-27th, composed of boys from
all over North Georgia. The Richmond "Hi-Y" .sent to this delegation twenty-
two of its representative members, accom])anied by the founder, Mr. W. S.
Nicholson, and the local Y. :SI. C. A. Boys* Work Secretary, Mr. Arthur H.
Richter.

The (k'!t'g;it(.'s attciulod this conference in order, not only that tiiey might
he made more determined in their ideals, but that thev miffht also brinjj thi.s
s])irit back to their fellow students.

This conference has the prospects of being one of the most potent forces for
good among high school boys that has ever taken place in a state for a long
time. The men who were brought there are among the most ])rominent workers
with boys in the country. They are men wlio have had long experience in
dealing with the problems of high school and ])rep school boys, and further
than that they were gifted with the power to ])resent the lessons of that ex])eri-
ence in forceful insjjiring speech. Two of tile leaders of this conference are
English-born, both having come to this country, however, while they were very
young. These men were Tom Johnson, State Secretary of Georgia, and Dr.
W. A. Lee, State Educational Supervisor, War Work Council.

Two of tlic iiie'iiibiTs wore overseas during the war: Albert E. Roberts, who
is executive secretary of county work in the international Y. M. C. A., and
H. E. Montague, state boys' secretary Y. j\I. C. A., who s])cnt twenty-seven
months witii the French and British Armies.

One of the speakers was Dr. \V. A. (ianfield, ])resident of Centre College,
Danville, Ky., an institution well-known all over the nation as that which gave
to the sporting world the wondei-ful pi-aying football team which thrilled the
entire country by its plucky fight against Harvard last fall. Dr. Ganfield is
widely known as an educator, and has had extensive experience in boys' con-
ference work. He is a very forceful and eloquent speaker and a member of the
executive connnittee of the state Y. M. C. A. of Kentucky.

Every speaker wa.s thoughtful and forceful and endeavored to develoj) the
Christian citi/enshij) training program at the conference.

The people of Athens will ever be remembered for their interest and their
cordiality shown the delegations from all over North Georgia. They gave
them the key to the town, and saw to it that they were delightfully entertained.

At the beginning of this delegation, the confenrence was fornietl and boys
were elected by the delegation as a whole to fill the positions necessary. Jake
Butler of the Athens "Hi-Y" was elected president; Henry M. North, Jr., of
the Richmond Acailemy "Hi-Y" was elected first vice-president ; Howard M.
Moss of the Atlanta "Hi-Y'" was elected second vice-jiresident, and J. ^Marion
Adams of the Richmond Academy "Hi-Y" was elected secretary. The Rich-
mond Academy delegates were highly honored ; two of their boys were elected as
officers of the entire conference.

The good tlerived from this conference was great and ijuestions which arose
from the meetings will make themselves heard of in the near future. Every boy
left there with the full determination in mind to try to put his ideals on a higher
stale, and to try to help someone else to do likewise. It is believed that every-
one caught the spirit of the conference, and that they returned home instilled
with the desire to serve, for it is only through service that we come to enjoy
the richness and fulness of life.

It is hojjed in the years to come that the same spirit that now prevails will
ever ])revail, and that there will always be a club, or some other organization
that will seek to elevate standards of boys and that will ever present to them
clear, high ideals. The world is in crying need of big, strong, fearless. Chris-
tian men. This sounds connnonplace and trite. The great neeil has jjrompte:!
its exj)ression so often "because it is true. No man has reached the stature of
real spiritual greatness without having first found out it is bcttci- to serve
someone else than it is to .serve himself.

A clean life, an open mind, a pure heart, an eager intellect, an unveile:!
si)iritual jjerception, a brotherliness for all, a readiness to give aiul receive
advice and instruction.s, a courageous endurance of personal injustice, a brave
declaration of ])rinciples, a valiant defense of those who are unjustly attacked,
and a constant eye to the ideal of human progression and perfection which
the sacred science depicts these are the golden stairs up which the learnei-
may climb to the Tcm])le of Divine Wisdom.

I hope that in this paper the teachings and fundamental things of the
"Hi-Y" Club have been made clear, and that this organization will ever be an
important factor in the training ])rogram of the Richmond Academy.

finite was decided and the question of dedication had to be j)ostponetl.

The last meeting took ])lace April 12th, in which the matter of giving a
script dance in honor of the Georgia Tech Glee Club was discussed. It was
decided that such a dance be given, and a connnittee consisting of F. S. Chance,

Realizing that we are ap])roaching the end of our toilsome career at this historic institu-
tion, and that the Junior Class will soon take our place in the classroom, and upon the ath-
letic field, we, the Senior Class, feel that our (lersonal lu-longings and jieculiarities should

((i.5)

T

rifrhtfully be left to our young suceessors, the eliiss of lO'i'i. U])on the condition, liowever,
tliat they in turn, wlien tlieir hours of torment draw to a cUise, shall in the same manner mete
out their liountiful ])Ossessions to tl:e future class, that to-day sit liefore us as a moli of
childish sehooUioys. Accordinjriy :

'J"o Guy H. Merry, we lie(iueath the "hiMiored" uniform worn for five long years by Ci.
Preston Holland.

To one Master William F. Law, Jr., we leave Hervey C'leckley's hard acquired art of
intensive love making.

To George Brittingham, we Ijestow the ability to talk a lot, luit say nothing, the said
ability being held at present by Billie Philpot and Samuel Mo<ig.

To Lamar Morris, we bequeath Leroy Oetjen's magnificent lirain iiower, liis far reaching
intellect, and his renowned judgment.

To Charles Gillman, we do bequeath Marion Adams' political bull, which we believe will
help him considerably in overthrowing the present absolute tyranny exercised by the faculty.

To Charlos, alias "Shot," Verdery, we leave "Mutt" Nachman's overwhelming beauty.

To ,Tohn Kilpatrick, we leave five more years of schooling, left by Barney Dunbar.

To "Big" Hankinson, we leave a book of Bolshevik and radical ideas, by Charles Fargo.

Jim Shernuin leaves bis cards, dice, poker chips, stimulants, and anytliing else, excej)t his
girl in Washington, Ga., to Moragne Whitney.

To Tom Jennings we leave Willie FulghunTs writing al)ility (l)otb dramatic and poetic).

To "Child" Harold Wright, we do devise and bequeath a Djer-kiss powder i)ufT, two
ounces of carmine rouge, and a cake of violet soap, the above articles being presented to Mr.
Wright through the Senior Class, by the Sub-Freshman Class of Tulmian High School.

To Harry Fourcher we leave a box of Red Star Lye, one metallic scraper and a bar of
partially used octagon soap, the said articles being willed by Harry Wiley.

Meade Owens leaves his highly prized Inigle to Bailey .Tones, with the expressed hope that
he will learn to blow the instrument himself, instead of having a substitute, as in the case
of Mr. Owens.

The Senior Class as a whole doth devise and liequeath, the Mascot of our class, Walter
Fargo, to the future seniors. We sincerely hope that he may be pas.sed on to many classes yet
to come. He is faithful, kind, and gentle, and answers to the name of "Sog."

As we carefully look over the remnants of our various belongings, we arc confronted with
a few things, that, because of their nature, and undignified character, should be left only to
tl^e lower classes. The above articles, because of their said nature, are to be looked u])on with
disfavor, though they come from the very best blood of our class.

To Nixon, t!., we bequeath Philpot's enormous feet.

To Moog, S., we leave Bill Fulghum's charming personality.

To Cook, we donate Hervey Cleckley's appetite for strong drink.

The Senior Class feels that not only the living, but the dead, should he considered in our
last will and testament, accordingly, we set aside the necessary amount, be it large or snudl,
to purchase a much needed haircut, and a hot water bath, to be administered as soon as
l)ossible to our btlovfd and highly esteemed classmate, Harry Wiley.

The Class suggests that any person or persons, in any )ilace, answering ;be following
questions in any manner or form, sliould lie given an annual holiday on Feliruary 3L

Question 1. How nuicb moonshine did the federal officers find in Prof. Cordle"s Ford?

Q. 2. Why did a pedestrian think that Hervey Cleckley had only one arm?

Q. .3. Why does Hervey Cleckley always give out of gas in front of 143.3 Glenn .\venue?
Why did he leave his gold footliall there?

Q. i. Who did Barney Dunbar take to the Tech G\ee Clul)? Where was he after the show?

Q. 5. Is "Jellv" Laird reallv Irish?

Q. 6. Who toid I?illy Phii)ot that he could play baseball?

Q. 7. Where does Walter Fargo get his marcel wave?

Q. 8. Why is it that Marion Adams can speak al)out only a certain young lady when
he addresses Tuliman?

Q. 9. Where did Tufts take a course in detective work?

Q. 10. Why is Cliarles Fargo so wild?

Q. H. Why does Elliott Heath disprove of the custom of giving Frat. pins to dark-
haired girls that have, as part of their personal belongings, 1920 model Chevrolcts?

Class Oration

Bi/ C. Rai.i'h Yor.Nciu.ooi)

Friends and Ft'llowstudfiits :

And especially our friends from Tubman, who grace tliis assemblage with
your ])resence, the Class of Nineteen Twenty-one bids welcome. Many times
YOU have encouraged us to greater efforts by your whole-iiearted supjjort. On
tlie football field, the baseball diamond, and the track, you have cheered us on
to victory ; and it is largely to this encouragement on your part that we are in-
debted for the successes we have achieved, and the honors which have been con-
ferred upon us. This occasion has been class-day, but may this gathering be
one of mutual co-operation and benefit, in which every lower and higher class-
man ha.s as much interest as a senior, for it is "uj) to you" to "carry on" for
old Richmond. As we go from this institution let us consider some of the im-
pulses wiiieh will direct our future course.

Probably the factor which has contributed most to the j)rogress of the
world is ambition. Were we compelled to eliminate from the ])ages of history
this one principle, I doiibt not that we should find ourselves in the same state of
barbarism as the ])eo])les of the stone age; outlaws of earth, with every man's
hand against his brother. Erase ambition and you would destroy the warp
of the social fabric of humanity.

This same attribute, however, can destroy as well as save, and if it hail
been possible to have removed this destroying selfish quality from the hearts
of the sons of Adam, civilization would have been enriched and the record of
the human race would be many times more readable.

This egotistical, selfish ambition, the fountain source of which is self-love,
ends in sorrow and shame. Such an ambition, like the deadly viper, thougii
befriended bv a kindlv hand, only awaits the opportunity to sink its venomous
fangs into the arm of its benefactor. As the j)arasitical j)lant, it feeds upon
its brothers, sucking the life blood of its victim and giving nothing in return ;
a leech on mankind ; devoid of those high ideals and attainments which belong to
those of God's creation to whom has been given the kingly command to rule
over the earth.

The embodiment of such an ambition may be found in the life of Napoleon
Bonaparte, who for the ])rize of fame and military glory set before him, re-
nounced her who had l)een his companion at the time when he was struggling for
his very existence ; when the youthful dreams that had tickled his fancy began
to lead him into a new career. He laid waste and desolate Europe's most
fertile fields, and waded to a throne through the blood of his adopted country-
men ; he took from mothers their sons and gave back to them the lifeless forms
of these sons, who, had they been permitted to !i>e, would have been their crown
of joy and the strength of the nation.

For such an unholy ambition, we have only to glance at the record of the
former Imperial German Emjjire; taught from its incipiency, the old Satanic

(07)

T

m

doctrine of hatred, it ])iissed through its forty years of training in hate, only
to find the eternal hiw of sowing and reaping as .steadfast as wlien first decreed.
That nation's ])roud nionarcli swore lie was right, because of the j)ower of his
Tiiight, and denied the right of existence to his lesser neighbors ; and tliat
country has answered the roll-call of the nations who haye forgotten honor in
their fiendish desire to acconij)lish their ends, and like a talc that is told, it
has gone the way of all the earth.

If such an ambition you have, then I would ])lead with you: Curb it! For
you will find, in your declining years, that it will bring to you nothing but grief
and sorrow, and you will then realize how iiollow is fame.

For this ambition substitute one to uplift humanity, one that lives for
others and not for self alone.

When David Livingston cut all the home ties that bound him to old Eng-
land, and thrust himself into the jungles of the "Dark Continent," he was
doubtless derided as being foolish for refusing a promising career in his native
land, and attcm])ting so uncertain and dangerous an adventure; but instead
Livingston, the Englishman, emerged from iiis vast undertaking as a great
missionary explorer, and like Columbus, a discoverer of new lands. He had
conquered a new continent ; but not as a Caesar or Napoleon ; in love had he
made his conquests. He lost his life to find it again.

With the coming of the Carpenter of Nazareth, times have changed, and
tliere has been a more exalted standard erected for the sons of men, to which
they should aspire ; even that we should be used for the uplifting of our fellow-
men ; and for this purpose we have our great present day sjstems of schools
and higher institutions of learning.

To us is there given a heritage richer and more glorious than a Solomon's.
Knowledge indeed is increased, and even a beggar has wisdom greater than an
Egyptian Pharaoh could purchase. But shall we avail ourselves of these
wonderful privileges merely for our own glory.' By no means; but may we
use them for the uplifting, the betterment of our fellow-beings, for this is an
ambition worthy of the most illustrious of the sons of men; yea, of the Great
Creator of mankind Himself.

Permit me in closing to admonish vou, my classmates, to be ambitious ; but
may your ambition not be of a sordid, selfish nature; but ))rompted by a higher
and holier desire; that of uplifting and benefiting your fellow-men, for in so
doing you will not only bring honor to your school, and to those who have
labored so faithfully to lead us forth in the paths of learning, but to the nation
of which you have the honor of being a part, and to the whole family of man-
kind in general.

Therefore, my friends, I beseech you, be ambitious in the righteous service
of your fellow-men, then the generations yet unborn will rise up and call
vou blessed,

THEE A

Glass History

By Wii.i.iAM li. FrLCHiM

Tliis Senior Class started in the year 191(5 witli an enrollment of one
Imndred and fourteen members. This was a fine showing, but in it's Sophomore
year the ravages of Math. 11 and 12 had decreased it in size to 89 members ; but
tills was still large for a Sophomore class. In the Intermediate year the class
had 6.'j members. Here they met and had to face the tria-ls of Geometry set up
by ]\Ir. J. Lister Skinner and of French under the supervision of Mr. Charles
Guy Cordle.

Owing almost directly to these difficulties, the class in it's Junior year had
come down to 4.5 members, and at this time tastetl the first effects of Physics,
which was laid out, analyzed and fully ex])lained by Mr. J. Lister Skinner, this
proved of very little avail. Hy the time the class reached it's Senior year,
Phy.sics, French, and Mathematics had caused a good many of it's weaker mem-
bers to fall out and along with other reasons caused it's decrease to 3-i mem-
bers. Before it had gone very far one of these dropped out and it now num-
bers 33. These have so far withstood the attacks of Chemistry, Trigonometry,
Analyt, and English and are about to proclaim themselves victorious.

I shall now endeavor to introduce to you the results of the class that
started it's five year journey in 1916.

First on the list I introduce Mr. J. Marion Adams, better known as "Josie."
He does not get this handle from the mule "Josie' in Mayfield where many
delightful summers were spent ])acking jieaches by Academy Boys, but from
a certain young lady of whom every student knows. He came to us from
AVoodlawn school and has taken honors in his class the four years that he has
been in the Academy. He is one of the popular boys of the Senior class. He
was elected Cheer Leader, Secretary of th Older Boys' Conference held in
Athens, Secretary of the Alxander H. Stejjhens Debating Society, Literary
Editor of the Annual and one of the class Athletic Representatives.

Next in line comes ]\Ir. Eugene Middleton Baker, the Duke of Hamburg,
and a happy nut who takes nothing seriously. He came to us in the latter
])art of our third year from the Central High School in Washington, D. C.
"Shorty" hates a noise and proves it by the fact that he alwavs keeps his
mouth shut. He was for two years one of the best players on the Varsity
football team, he was elected one of the class Athletic Re})resentatives, and
Treasurer of the "Hi-Y" club.

The third member of the class is Mr. Francis Sinclair Chance, a noble,
heroic tyj)e of manhood who takes a great delight in both worrying and anms-
ing his teachers. He has not had the pleasure, or misfortune, of being with his
class during it's whole journey, but ex])ects to make the final count. Francis
is very noted as he is President of the Theta Sigma Fraternity and a ranking
officer of the Anti-Cigarette League.

Now comes Mr. Hervey Milton Cleckley. "Big Man" hails from Houghton
school and from the date of his entrance has been one of the most prominent
members of his class, both from a studious and athletic standpoint. Hervev
has taken high honors in his class every year and has broken many records in
football and track. While on the football team he was one of it's best players.
In the Track team he was elected Ca{)tain both last year and this year, and has

THIS A

set rcc'oriis that will be vurv iliti'ifult even to iipproaeh. In the lust traek meet
he broke five Academic records. In the Military DejKirtnicnt he is Captain.

Next on roll is Mr. Barney "(Toogle" Savajre Dunbar. Shortly after his
arrival from Houghton, he distinguished himself by taking high honor in the
Freshman class, in the Sophomore class he took honor and from this on very
little is known of his marks as a stutieiit. Barney is a prominent figure in
social circles.

Now I introduce to you Mr. Charles Clare Fargo, alias "Chipmonk. ' A
graduate of Houghton grannnar, "Chipmonk'' exposed himself to the Bolshevik
principles of the "Old Historic," and since his arrival has gained the ranking
position of ^lajor General of the Xon-Drill Squad. He ho])es to raise his rank
next year in West Point. "Chi|)py"" is one of the most honest members of the
Senior class at least he is so regarded as he was elected Class Treasurer.

Next comes "Chippy's" cousin, Mr. Walter Gordon Fargo, who is a grad-
uate of the Monte Sano grammar. Walter is easily distinguished from his
cousin "Chijjmonk" by his wavy hair, which he has, after a very lenghty, hard
struggle, finally gotten under control. This was accomplished chiefly by the
use of Watkin's Mulsified Cocoanut Oil. Walter left Old Richmond once, but
decided that it would be impossible for him to stay away, so after a long con-
ference with the officials of the school he was finally induced to re-enter.

After ilr. \Valter Fargo comes Madame Kenneth Rushton Fourcher who
lias been on the stage for all five acts. She came to Richmond from Davidson
grammar and found it very difficult to subject herself to the various activities
and customs of Old Richmond. Madame is very good looking and while walk-
ing, running, drilling or dancing she handles herself very gracefully.

After much consideration I finally condescended to let you know a little
something of the character of Captain Cornelius Elliott Heath, an all-round
ladies" man. Captain Heath is well known on account of his gooil looks and
nielotlious laugh. He came to us from Davidson grannnar and during his five
years stay has stored up a great many choice bits of knowledge, especially
from the Chemistry Dejjartment. Captain Heath is very skilled in his ability
as a teacher. He is sometimes called Professor by his classmates.

Following Captain Heath comes the largest member of the class. Mr. George
Preston Holland. "Pres" usually has a sad expression ()]i his face and hardiv
ever talks. He also hails from Davidson.

Next on roll comes Lord Harold Eugene Eaird, the skiiniiest member of th'
class, being of tall and stately mien. After deciding that it would be im-
possible for him to continue at Sacred Heart he made his debut at Richmon:l.
"Jelly" has been very active in his efforts among the student bodv. trying to
teach them the princi])les of the Sinn Feiners. He is a faithful follower of
^lacSwinney, but it is feared that he will never go on a "hunger strike."

Following "Jelly," comes Mr. I>ouis Lanier Lokey who came to us from
Houghton. I>ouis is one of the most boisterous, talkative members of the class.
In the Military Department he holds the rank of Second Lieutenant. I.,ouis
stands well in all of his studies, especially French. He is pulling hard foi- a
"Dip" and it is almost certain that he will get it.

'Sir. Matthew Arnold IMallard comes next on the list. Previous to his en-
trance at the Academy he was a student of Woodlawn. "]\Iack"' is "Jelly's"
closest friend with the exception of "Tunny" Miller, and is tlun-oughlv familiar
with all of "Jelly's" Bolshevik ideas. "Jelly" and "Mack" conduct themselves
in a very orderly maimer, especially in the Science Department where Cousin

(70)

T

Cassius never lias to call them down. "Alack" is also a very prominent figure
in a song written h_v Cousin Cassius entitled:

''Mallard Boy you 11 never pass the course,
Mallard Boy you'd better study."

"Mack" holds the rank of Sergeant in the Military De])artment.

Mr. Herman Markert comes next and is worthy of our closest consideration.
He came to us from North Augusta and commonly shows his class a good many
valuable things that were taught him while there. Herman talks on an average
of .01 and -l 7ths hundredths minutes per day. He is also very jolly and is
often seen bv his friends loafing around on the streets and street corners.

Next in line comes Mr. Ralph Marsh Medlock. He also came from North
Augusta. He entered Richmond in his third year and has made high honors
the two years that he has been with us. Ralph has gained a good bit of busi-
ness knowledge from the teachings of Mr. Kenijedy in the Co-nnnercial De])art-
ment, which manifests itself in the fact that Ral])h was elected Busines.s
Manager of the Annual.

I now introduce to you Mr. Hinton Francis Miller, better known by his
classmates as "Tunny." In s])ite of the fact that "Tunny" was out of school
one term on account of sickness he will finish with the rest of his class, and
probably with honors, since he is one of the honor men of the class.

Following Hinton comes Mr. Ollie Odelle McGahee, alias "Polo Griffo," a
graduate of the Harrisburg I'niversity. "Polo ' holds the high rank of First
Sergeant in Military Circles and it is almost certain that he will finish with a
connnercial "Dip." "Polo" is also one of the honor men of the class.

Following "Polo Griffo" comes the best looking boy (besides "Hank" Phil-
pot) in the class, Mr. ]\Iorton Nachman, alias "Venus," who came to us from
Monte Sano and who since his arrival has ranked as one of the foremost mem-
bers of the class.

Next on roll is ilr. Henry ^Martyn North, Jr., who came to the Academy
from Central school. For four years he was President of his class, this year
he is Vice-President, Editor-in-Chief of the Annual, and President of the
'Hi-Y'' club. He was Captain of the 1920-21 Varsity football team the
team that made such a record and that was so widely known for it's ability and
spirit. Henry is the ranking officer of the Battalion, and is one of the best
known of all the boys who form the student body.

I now introduce to you another former student of Central school, Mr.
Leroy Henry Oetjen. Leroy is working hard for a "Dij)," but the odds are
against him, as at present he is very much disturbed over a love affair in Thom-
son which he thinks is going to turn out badly for him. Leroy is a First
Lieutenant in the Military Dejjartment.

Next in line comes the long-sought-for missing link, Mr. Richard Meade
Owens, often called by his classmates "Bobo Blooey Blooey Saint Negro Orlan-
duccio Brusco." He is credited with having introduced into the regular sche-
dule of work A))us .'52. "Brusco" came from Monte Sano, an;l holds the higli
rank of Cor|)oral Bugler. He has never been known to argue with his teachers.

After "Brusco" comes Mr. Auburn Ganbelle Owens, better known as "Sj)a-
ghetti.'' "S))haghetti" boasts of the proud fact that he is no kin to "Brusco."
He came to the Academy from Davidson school. He left Richmond in the first
part of his Senior year, but before he was gone very long he came hack and his
presence is greatly felt as he is one of the foremost twirlers of Charlie Gill-
man's pitching staff.

(71)

THIE A

After "Spagla'tti" I iiitrodufc to vou the Honorable Professor Robert Lee
McAllister Parks. Professor hails from Houghton where he was once a pro-
minent figure. In tiie early part of his Academy life he was \erv studious,
but he soon learned to shoot billiards and can now be found around Hurdell's
almost any time, day or night. And since he w'as one of the biggest jokes in
the Senior class he was elected Joke Editor of the Annual.

Next I introduce the most handsome JMr. William Kuhlkc I'liilpot, better
known as "Hank." "Hank" hails from Houghton and on his arrival at the
Academy found it very difficult to leave off his book-bag, an article rarely
used among high school students. "Hank' is very fond of bicycle riding, for
he takes long trips almost daily. He is also noted in the Senior class for his
extra big mouth antl exceeding good looks. He was one of our best players on
the Varsity football team, and is now starring on the Varsity baseball team.
He is a prominent member of the "Hi-Y" club. By the way, among the various
things he has learned while at the Academy is ])arting his hair in the niiildle,
but there's no use now since he's been "kicked."

Next I introduce to you Mr. I^ouis Edward Reese from Grovctown. I>ouis
holds the rank of First Sergeant in the Military Department, and has made a
good showing several times on the Varsitv football and baseball teams. He is
now a member of this year's baseball team and is one of the best short-stops
that the Academy has seen in- several years. Louis is a prominent member of
the class and is one of it's Athletic Representatives.

On the list Mr. E. Rutledge follows Reese. He entered the Academy in the
fourth year, but was a member of the Senior class only a short while, before he
(iro])ped out. He was a l)ov of good intentions and (juietness and no doubt was
forced to quit by some bad haj)pening or misfortune. His home is in Anch-
orage, Kentucky.

Following Rutledge I take great jileasure in presenting C'a])tain Jim f\
Sherman, President of the Senior class. Jim came to the Academy from Monte
Sano and has taken high honors in his class every year. Besides being Pres-
ident, he is Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the Annual, \'ice-President of the
"Hi-Y' club, and is second ranking officer of the Battalion. Jim is looked up
to by the members of the Faculty and the Student Body. He is now a leader
of boys. He will some day be a leader of men. Besides school Jim has many
outside activities socially. He is well known in Athens, Washington, Mayfield
and Charleston by several members of the Fairer Sex. Jim is also notetl f;>i-
his ability to make high explosives. The bad nervous condition of the Chem-
istry Teacher is attributed directly to him.

Following Sherman comes our Hebrew member, Mr. Pincus Tanenbaum.
Piiikey hails from Davidson and is a prominent member of his class. He is
easily recognized as he is very good looking. He was an aspirant for the Joke
Fvditor's ])ositioii but it was thought that Professor Parks was the biggest joke
so it was given to him.

Following Pinkey comes Mr. Kennard Shields Trowbridge who came to the
Academy from Woodlawn. He is known to his classmates as "Dent" and is
one of the j)opular members of the class. Li the Military Department he is
Sergeant. "Dent" has many outside activities.

\ext on the list I pi-eseiit the Class Moralist, Mr. Frank Halsev Tufts, who
hails from the Tenth District A. \: M. school. His home is in Mitchell, (la.

(72)

THIE A

Frank is very well known as a machinist and can be easily recognized by his
suspenders and extra large tortoise shell glasses.

Following Tufts conies Mr. Richard ^liles Watkins who came to the Aca-
demy from Central school. Richard is well known by all his classmates and
stands well in his studies. Ho is a member of the Commercial Dc])artment and
exj)ects to finish a commercial Diploma. It is circulated about that Richard
finds his attentions distractingly divided between his books and a certain young
lad}', and that several nights out of the week the young lady is the success-
ful rival.

Following AVatkins comes Mr. Harry Mason Wiley, who came to the Aca-
demy from Houghton. In Harry's early days as a student at the Academy he
was rather smart but as he passed from one class to another his marks became
lower, probablv due to no lack of attention to his studies, but to oversight of
liis teachers. Harry doesn't like water very much. But he says when the ne-
cessity arrives, he will do his duty like a man.

Next to the last on roll I introduce to you Mr. Claude Ralph Youngblood.
Claude came to us from Woodlawn and has served his class usefully ever since.
He left once, but came back. He is noted as a speaker and is the Class Orator.
No doubt in later years he will be seen on the stand as a minister of the Gospel.

As the last feature of this History I present to you William Lamar Ful-
ghum, who came to the Academy from Young Harris College, and entered in the
Sophomore year. After being in school two years he left the Academy, and
staved away one year, then re-entered in the Junior year and expects to
finish with the class. The Class Proj)het says that "Bill'' makes about as
much noise as a fellow eating mushrooms in a boiler factory. In fact, he is so
quiet that we know very little about him, except that he occasionally displays
human intellect, and also has a girl. "Bill" says she is the nicest girl under
the sun, but the rest of us like girls better under the rnooii.

In this History I have tried to give you a brief characterization of each
member of the Senior Class.

We have assembled this morning in anticipation of our dismissal, which is
only a few weeks off. Without this our course would not be complete. It is a
period in our lives we have looked forward to as of much importance to us.
Whether it will be of greater im])ort than a social function will rest witii each
individual. We can continue in the work of improvement, or we can fold our
hands and in few years lose all we have won this morning. The dijjlomas we
shall receive will always be evidence of our achievements, but the ijuestion I
would put to each is: Shall we utilize these honors.'' Shall we put into actual
practice the lessons we have learned, or shall we drift away and lose through
inaction the real advantages that would accrue through the education we have
had bestowed upon us.'

May I say in closing that I ho])e that tiie jileasures we enjoy this morning
may never be clouded by the sorrows of a misspent life. That temptations will
visit all of us as we pass through life, is certain, but may we have courage to
withstand them, so that when we reach the dark valley of the shadow of death,
our fidelity to principle will be a light that will pierce the veil of obscurity and
mark the way to the Great I'nknown!

THE A

Class Prophecy

Bl/ HlXTON . MlLLEU

"All out for Augusta!" slioutud the conductor, j)oking his liciid in at tlic
rear of the car. I looked around imrriedly for my valise and overcoat. The
valise was safe, but someone had exidently s\va})])ed overcoats with nie, leaving
a loud checked ])iece of goods, more like a kimona, in it's jjjace. I grabbed it
and hunted up the conductor.

"Somebody's stolen my overcoat, and I'd like to get it back," I said.

"You got a overcoat, ain't you?' he asked with an insolent leer.

"Oh, whoever took mine left this thing in it's place," I rej)lied.

"I remember now,'" he said. "The fellow who got on with that coat got off
in Aiken. It ain't the company's fault. You oughter watch your stuff better."
He turned insultingly and walked away. I murmured several un])rintable
things about railroad service in general, threw the gaudy rag over my shoulder,
picked u]) my valise, and started to leave the station. At the entrance I met
two men with badges of some sort.

"Here he is,'" said one. "We've been expecting you. Napoleon. Come
.along with us."

"What do you mean.'" I asked, thinking it was some kind of joke. I was
mad already over the loss of my coat, and ready to fight every time I thought
of the conductor.

"IJe careful," said the second man, "the telegram says he's violent."

I looked around for something to knock them out of the way with. Our old
friend the conductor and two other men were coming uj) from behind.

"Is that him.'" asked the conductor.

"It'.s him, alright," said one of them. "Checked overcoat and everything.
Look out, there, he's having a fit !"

I had drop])ed my valise and made a lunge at the conductor, eager to knock
the scoundrel down. Somebody behind me tripped me neatly, and I fell head-
long, striking my head with an agonizing jar. Da/zling flares of bright lights
.spun around before my eyes, and I knew no more.

When I recovered my sense I was standing on a corner of Augusta's busi-
ness section. Directly across the street was a large .sign: "Medlock >S: ^IcGahee,
Cotton Brokers."

I ran to see my two old classmates. They seemed to be doing a ru.shing
business. The office boy informed me, to my disap])ointnient, that McGahee
was out of town and Medlock had just carried his stenographer out for an
auto ride. I left their offices and walked up Broad Street. As I passed by
one building I heard shrieks of agony coming from within. I started to call a
])oliceman and find the cause of these feai-ful howls, but nobody else seemed to
notice it. The sounds seemed to come from the third story, and glancing up,
I saw printed in gold letters on one of the windows: "Dr. Eugene Baker,
Dentist."

1 walked on, afraid to enter, for fear that the "Duke of Hamburg" might
not recognize me and pull out several teeth before I could stop him.

The next ])crson I met was our old friend "Jelly" Laird. "Jelly" was built
when meat was cheap. Ho had on his customary green socks and green neck-
tie. Green is "Jelly's" favorite color, both to wear and to spend. "Jelly'' and
I were together so much in the good old days at Richmond that the fellows
wanted to call us the "Gold Dust Twins," but we didn't wash often enough to
he called that. "Jelly" was a pros])crous contractor, and had just finished a
new skyscraper, which he pointed out to me. He wanted to tell me how he
cleaned up in a crap game, but I asked him several questions about our old
classmates.

*'Meade Owens had charge of the electrical work in that skyscraper I built,"
said "Jelly. ' He's an electrical engineer now. Remember the foolish ques-
tions Meade used to ask in class? Like, who wrote Milton's 'Paradise Lost'?
and what time does the six o'clock train leave? Little ALitthew Mallard, the
eyebrowless wonder, is an architect and is fast growing j)rosperous. Mallard
IS a most promising young man. He's been promising to pay me two bits ever
since Commencement. He lives around on Fenwick Street, by the gas house.
Leroy Oetjen is one of our best known doctors. They've been thinking of
building a new cemetery ever since he hung out his ]\L D. sign. Kennard
Trowbridge has charge of an electrical plant uj) the river. Keimard has dis-
covered that when silk is rubbed over the human body that a current of elec-
tricity is generated, and for this reason some girls are verv shockijig. He dis-
covered all this through very close studv of the subject."

I also learned from "Jelly" that Walter Fargo was a matinee idol, and
spent his time drawing stupendous salaries and breaking feminine hearts.
Among his famou.s foolish answers back at Richniontl are : "There were no
Christians among the early Gauls. They were mostly lawyers," and, "A circle
has two sides inside and outside.'

Marion Adams had an AL D. sign over his home around on Telfair Street.
He has a large practice as a doctor and has written several books. And last,
but not least, he has a fine family consisting of one loving wife, seven beautiful
children, and one Ford. Marion loves his family. He's so tender hearted that
he always chloroforms the baby before he spanks it.

I discovered that Hervey Cleckley was one of the state's best lawyers and
a well known sportsman. Hervey was running for governor and likely to be
elected. I went around to the jjolls and voted for him right away. Hervey"'
was doing fine considering that a weak and delicate little fellow he was at
school. The teacher once asked Hervey what figure of speech was, "I love mv
teacher." Hervey said it was Sarcasm. Hervey also said he didn't know
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. He thouglit he lived at the White House.

FJKot Heath, I found, was a mechanical engineer, and his fortune was al-
ready made by his books and discoveries. Among Elliott's books was the fa-
mous treatise, "Wliy the wind doesn't blow up and down instead of sideways,"
and among his discoveries was a substitute for isinglass.

Claude Youngblood is a member of the state legislature, and bids fair to be-
come a senator. Claude is one of the country's best orators. He can make
his audience weep with ))ity or siiout with rage. I'sually they weep first.
When they start sliouting Claude grabs his hat and beats it out the back door.
There's not much danger for him, hcwever. as the ])e()ple of his audience are

alwa_vs .searched for bricks iiiid over-rijie eggs as tliev enter the lialL He Hves
in constant fear that some strong man may hit him witii the piano or something.

As I left "Jelly" and walked u]) Broad Street I met Jim Sherman and
Henry North. Jim was still sligiitly bowlegged, due to the weight of the
books he used to carry to school. He was known all over the country as a
second Edison. Jim lias taken u]) architecture and was famous as an architect,
but tiiis wasn't dee]) enougii for liini, so he delved into electricity as a sitleline
and made several discoveries, on wliicli he wrote many volumes. Jim's home
was in Washington, but he visited Augusta often.

Henry was an electrical engineer, and had just harnessed up the innnense
power of Horse Creek, down in the wilds of Beech Island ; and with the elec-
tricity from liis })lant he was going to run a trolley line to McBean. This in-
vestment would i)ut him on Easy Street for the rest of his life. Henry was al-
ways good on conservation of energy. Wliile we were going to school a book
agent was once talking to a bunch of us. "This book," he said, "will do half
of your work." "(iinnne two, quick," said Henry.

As I stood talking to Henry and Jim, we lieard the beating of a drum, and
a regiment of Uncle Sam's soldiers came marcliing i)r(nidly up the street. At
the head of them, on a big black horse, rotle Colonel Charlie Fargo, known to
his friends as Chi))monk. I could hardly recognize Chip, as he hail such a
hard boiled look on his face. Chip wore big spurs on his boots ; probably to
keep his feet from sliding off his desk.

Jim and Henry told me that Barney Dunbar was a famous cartoonist, and
drew pictures for all the leading newspapers under a assumed name. Barney
says he uses an assumed name because he is modest, but we don t know whether
it is modesty or shame. Barney is also a noted artist, and has painted several
niasterjiieces, using for his inspiration as a model a voung lady named Miss
iVIurphy. Barney is fast growing wealthy from the foolish things he draws
and says. He's a born wit. Back at Richiiiond the following motto governed
Barney's whole life :

Lives of great men all remind us,

We can make our lives sublime ,
By asking foolish questions,
To take up teacher's time.

Jim had a newspaper in his hand. I glanced over the lieadlines. At the
top was :

Tile Augusta Tatler
R. L. M. Parks, Editor

Below were several articles fighting the anti-nicotine leagues, written by the
masterful ])en of our old friend Robbie.

I left .Jim and Henry and walked on, sto])])ing in Gardelle's to get a drink.
At the counter was Harry \Viley buying a cake of soaji.

"Will you have it scented or unscented.''" asked the clerk.

"I'll take it with me," said Harry.

Hary told me he was cashier of one of Augusta's largest banks. He was a
busy man, and in ii terrible hurry, but he sto])])ed long enough to tell me that he
had taken Herman Markert's job. Markert, the noisiest boy in our class, had

(7li)

m

TEE A

been canned for dissipation and flirting, but now he was reformed and owned a
large farm. I was glad to liear tliat Herman had left his wild ways and
was sobering uj).

Over in a corner, with his feet propped up on a table, sat teahound Billie
Philopt, noisily inhaling a chocolate soda. The people around him had raised
umbrellas for j)rotection. After the deluge was over I sat down by Billie and
we talked over old times. He was a doctor a specialist. Ever since Billie
had hung out his shingle there seemed to be raging among the fair ladies of the
city epidemics of various diseases, none serious ; but it was noticed by many
that these ladies invariably called Dr. B. Philpot for treatment and symj)athy.

As I left Billie and crossed the street, Francis Chance nearly ran over me
with his Packard. I didn't recognize Chance at first, but when I noticed that
his breath had the familiar and heavenlv smell of wood alcohol I knew it could
be only he. Francis was a cigar salesman, and hatl more dollars than Carter
has pills. He told me that Frank Tufts had opened up a detective agency and
was becoming noted all over the country as a second Hawkshaw. Augusta had
built four new jails since Tufts got on the job, and laid oft' the entii'e police
force. Nobody dared even match for ])ennies now, and mothers were saving to
their children, "Be good or Detective Tufts will get you."

Chance also said that Pincus Tanenbaum owned a chain of ten-cent stores
that was spreading over the whole country. Pinky 's clear, brisk mind and
wonderful ability had made a millionaire of him. Ardent admirers were going
to tear down the Statue of Liberty and put Pinky's up in it's place. Pinky
was thinking of building a chain of delicatessen stores in Palestine.

"Mr. George Preston Holland," said Francis, "is on the stage giving ex-
hibitions of his wonderful strength and marvelous ])hysique. Bud astonished
everybody with his stui)endous feats of strength. He wears an anvil for a
watch fob and when he gets slcep_y he just lays down on the sidewalk and pulls
the asphalt uj) over him."

Louie I^okey was a dancing master and an exj)ert at all the new dances.
He had originated several new steps, including the "Box Car Bump,'' the
"Cellar Step,' the "Kitchen Sink," "Artie Shiver," the "Old Milk Shake," and
the "Back Yard Dash." Louie also had several billiard and pool cliampionshi})s.

Chance stepped on his car and carried me away out in the country. He
showed me a magnificent farm owned by Louis Reese and Richard Watkins.
Louis and Richard spent the night with each other once, slecjiing in the same
bed. Late that night Louis awoke. He heard a noise that sounded like a
burglar, and he rose hastily. To his horror, he saw a man's legs sticking out
from under the bed. They were not the burglar's. They were Richard's.
He had heard the noise first. Pretty soon they heard the noise again and
both started boldly down the stairs three steps at a time. They thought the
burglar was on the roof.

When Chance and I got back to the city, newsboys were running around
sliouting that the great Babe Ruth was dead. I left Francis and bought a
paper. Babe Ruth had reached the height of his brilliant home-run career,
when at last he went up to bat with Auburn Owens jjitching against him.
"Spaghetti" Owens struck out the king of the diamond seven times in succession,
and poor Babe had died of a broken heart. His last words were: "That fellow
must be from Harrisburg. I never saw anybody ])itch like that before."

(77)

As I stood ivadiTii^ tliis article soiiU'bodv tapped iiic on tlu' sliouldcr. I
turned and recognized old Bill Fulglmni, now a prosperous lawyer. Bill used
to walk in his sice)), but he carries car-fare to bed with him now. Hill origin-
ated the famous statement: "Only fools are certain; wise men hesitate." He
says he is certain of it.

Bill and I decided to go to a show, so we walked ])ast one of Augusta's
movie palaces. Bright ])osters in front j)roclaimed that the feature of the
day was "Venus," Morton Xachman, in ''The Cowboy's Bride, or Sitting Bull's
Last Seat," in which Xachman played the role of Bad Bill from Turpin Hill.
Venus was the nearest perfect specimen of manly beauty in the world, and had
wrecked more hap])y homes than the Irish Sinn Feiners.

Bill and I walked on and entered a vaudeville. The star act of tlie vaude-
ville was the great female impersonator, Kenneth Fourcher, who had Julian
Eltinge backed off the maj). IMadanioisellc Fourcher inij)ersonated the femin-
ine sex so closely that "she" had "em guessing. "She" sang several songs, in-
cluding "I Want a Man and I Want Him Bad." In concluding the act "she''
gave the original hula-hula dance. "She" was dressed in a wonderful costume
consisting of two brass finger bowls tied together with a shoestring.

Bill had to go home and rock the baby, when we got out of the show, so I
told him goodbye. I walked slowly through the city's residential section,
thinking of the good old times "the days of real sport." The sun was setting
as I passed the Old Historic. I remembered the happy days I had spent there,
the best days of my life. But what a change had taken ])lace since the class
of '21 had graduated ! Two magnificent new buildings had been erected. Au-
gustans were ])roud of tlie Academy before this change, but now, with these fine
buildings, they could truly say that they had the best high schools in the state,
and ])oint out Tubman and the Old Historic to prove it.

It was fast growing dark, and I was anxious to get back to the bright
lights of Broad Street. As I hurried through a dark street I heard footsteps
close behind me. I turned, and saw the evil face of the insulting railway con-
ductor leering at me. Hardly knowing what I was doing, I turned to run, but
my knees gave way and I fell sjjrawling.

^ ^ ^ ^

Slowly I rolled over and opened my eyes. I was lying in a cocjI, clean bed
in a large room, and a white clad nurse was standing by me.

"^Vhere's my overcoat.'"' I asked dazedly. "Where am I.-"'

"Lie still and don't exert yourself," said the nurse. She left the room and
finally came back, bringing a doctor with her.

"Feel better.'"' asked the doctor with a grin.

"What does all this mean.^" I asked. "Where am I.>''

"It was all due to a big mistake," said the doctor. "A lunatic had esca]jed
from an asylum near here, and must have swapped overcoats with you on the
train. Guards were looking for him here, and as you answei'ed the description
they tried to arrest you. You attem])ted to esca])e, fell, and hit your head on
the street curbing. We thought you had fractured your skull. You've been
raving about an hour on all kinds of subjects. Its nothing serious, though,
and vou'll be as well as ever in a few days."

Class Poem

]~eai' friends, I've l)een ;i])])i)iiiteil

Tile jioet of our class,
And when I'm tliroufrli niy poem.

You'll hope that its my last.

Five years ago we entered in

As happy as could he.
One hundred fourteen freshmen tlieu

And now just thirty-three.

The first on roll is Baker, E.,

My soul, hut he's a case,
For when it comes to stretchin};; truth

He's champion of the i)lace.

Baker is followed by Francis Chance
Whose name just suits him fine.

For if there's brain-work to be done
His chance is one in nine.

Then next comes Hervey Cleckley
With smiles and dimpled cheek,

He's bulled his way through every year,
In strength he's just a freak.

Now follows Dunbar, Barney "Google,"

An artist fine is he,
It grieves us much to see him flunk.

But "he ain't what he used to be."

Charles Fargo is next upon the roll.
He handles all our "chink."

His head is shaped just like an egg,
And he's never learned to think.

Now conies friend Walter Fargo
Who drives an ancient Ford,

He thinks he's very handsome,
But his head is like a gourd.

He's followed by Madame Fourcher,

She smiles as you will note;
This she does because she's won

The hard-fought right to vote.

Below is "Billy" Fulghum's name

Who loves the best of all,
A ".Jewel"; when he's dancing

He's as graceful as a wall.

So tall and slim is Elliott Heath

Our expert technical man;
And when the ladies are around.

You'll find him right on hahd.

On roll the tenth is Holland, P.,

He's little but he's loud.
With hot-air, bull, and nonsense

He's wondrously endowed.

But hold, my friends, here's ".Telly" I.aird,

So fat and filled with stew,
He'll never starve like Mayor "Mac"

Though he's Irisli through and through.

Next on the roll is Louis I.okey,

Of some he is the pride,
"Tis true that he's a bonehead.

For his brain has ossified.

Tl-.en Matthew Mallard follows next.

With ladies very fast;
But in Chemistry the teacher says.

"My boy, you'll never pass."

Herman, called "Country" Markert,

Is the only one of his kind.
He lives so far in the backwoods

His breath .smells of the pine.

Now Ollie Odelle McGahee's brains

Must be in his heels.
His marks are low for he does not

Study between his meals.

Next comes our friend Ralph Medlock,

A business man of aifairs;
He's never known to go with girls,

But I'm sure that no one cares.

Our prophet, Hinton Miller, has

A lean and hungry look;
But he'll be fed for it is said

That now he courts a cook.

Now follows Morton Nachman,

So graceful and so cute.
He's known to us as "Venus,"

Because he's such a beaut.

Next conies old Henry Martyn North
With smiling, whiskered face,

When it conies to flunking studies
He always leads the pace.

Leroy Oetjen, to himself,

Seems handsome and so wise.

He has a chance to graduate.
Provided he never dies.

(79)

T

Next is Aiiluirn (t'i>\vliell) Owens,
Who answers to "S])a}rliet" ;

If yoii should see his luiinely face,
You never could forjret.

Owens, M., our bugler punk.
Is known to us as "Blooie";

When lie is not attending sclmol,
He"s feasting on chop suey.

But hail, who comes to joke with us,
Boir Lee McAllister Parks,

We have a flood of foolish fuss

When he ope's his mouth and barks.

Next comes Sweet Hilly Philpot,
Our habe who needs a cradle.

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth,
But Maud said 'twas a ladle.

Now follows Louis "Grovetown" Ree.se

Foolish when at his best.
He's stubliorn, slow, and lazy.

He's an obnoxious pest.

The next is ,Iini C. Sherman,
Since Fate must joke, Alas !

This blank-faced, ignorant rascal
Is President of the class.

Near the end is "Pinky" Tanenliaum,

Who wears a sickly grin.
His face is such that "Hill" EIia.s

Has taken him for his twin.

And Trowbridge, too, I'll mention here.

Whose day is almost done.
He's taken all that's taught in .school

But has pa.ssed not a single one.

Frankie Tufts is next on the roll.

He thinks himself so wise.
His head and mouth are very big,

But his brain is small in size.

Next little "Dicky" Watkins come.s,

So quiet and so fair;
He often goes to Grovetown,

We wonder what's up there?

Now follows next that "Hairy" Wyly,
AVho .sells his Evening Post;

If ever he gets a haircut,
He'll have a right to boast.

Now only one name still remains.
And I close my dull refrain,

.\ blockhead, mean and indolent.
He's been pronounced insane.

A learned few we Seniors are.
Some knowledge we did gain.

For five long years we've struggled on
Our diplomas to obtain.

()])])oniicnts : .'52.

Due to tliu work of I\Ir. R. H. Crook, our head coach, and our noted alum-
nus, Mr. Jolin Wilson, the old "Purple and Gold Cyclone" this year finished the
most successful season that the school has had in many a moon. I may be
correct in saving the most successful since its wonder team in 191 4, wiien it
claimed the Championship of all Georgia.

Though out-weighed in every game jjlayed, they u})lield tiie fighting spirit
of old Riclmiond and won seven out of eight games of which two games only
were plaved on tiie home gridiron Columbia at the Fair-Grounds, and States-
boro at Warren Park; Columbia being rolled on the sod to the tune of U) to fi,
and Statesboro to 49 to 0.

Rut the real fighting spirit of the "Old Historic" was shown in tiie game
with Carlisle on Turkey Day. Due to Mr. J. L. Skinner and the numerous
stand-bys of Richmond, a special train for trip was chartered to carry the
team and some two hundred supporters, who expected to see Richmond crown
herself with glory by defeating Carlisle and there finish the season bearing the
name of an undefeated eleven.

Though Richmond lost tliis coveted game, those that saw it will stand by
nie in my statement that it was one of tiic hardest fought games ever wit-
nessed on any gridiron. Though hopelessly out-weighed and fighting a losing
game, tiie old school s])irit of "iiever-say-die" went on throughout the fray,

-^<t..

T

UUii.MOND vs. eAKI.lSI.K, '21

strongly contL-.sting every inch of the ground they were forced to yield. In-
deed, this entire game may be summed uj) in the adage: "It is better to die
fighting than not to have fought at all."

In behalf of this year's eleven and the entire student body I should like to
express here our deejj apj)reciation of the great services rendered us by Mr.
John Wilson, who has devoted his valuable time to the cause of clean athletics
and to helj) put Richmond on the same basis in athletics that she is in academic
standing. We also wish to express our a])preciation to Mr. J. L. Skinner for
the great interest which he has taken in the ahtletic de])artment of the school.

At the close of the season the entire s(juad was entertained by the student
body at a banquet in the dormitory. At this time Guy Merry, center of this
year's Varsity, was unanimously ciiosen to lead the 1921 contingent of gladi-
ators to victory. Captain-elect Merry is a two-year man in football and was

the mainstay of the line this se:

ison, so we are i)lacing great ho])e.-

f<.

the future.

For the success on the gridiron this year year and the all-around character
of the squad for clean play and the manner in which they fought for their
school, they were presented with miniature gold footballs by the Board of Ath-
letic Control of the school.

Before closing this bit of reviev.- the entire school desires to applaud Mr.
R. H. Crook's achievements for the school and wish him great success next year.

A REVIEW OF GAMES

Before the inter-scholastic games were begun the Varsity defeated the
r. of Ga. Medical College 20 to in the opening game of the season. The
"Medics," though hard fighters, were allowed only three first downs. The
game resulted in the entire Richmond squad coming into ])rominence and show-
fng great prospects for the rest of the season.

(85)

T

Tlic next gaiiie, wliicli foniiiillv opuncd tliu iiitcr-schohistic suasoii, resulted
in ii defeat for Columbia High (Columbia, S. C.) at the Georgia-Carolina Fair,
witii a seore of 19 to 6. In this game Cleckley was at his l)est and in my op-
inion ])lavetl the game of his life. The j)assing of I'iiilpot also comes into note,
one pass resulting in a ."50 yard run to a touchdown by Whitney and othei-s re-
sulting in long gains. One instance siiowing the jjower of the backs and the
])lunging line is when Richmond held on her own 10 yd. line and then marched
straight down the field to a touchdown.

Following this, with victory ringing in our cars, we invaded the Capitol
citv Oct. 28, to meet the strong Boy's High (Atlanta, Ga.) aggregation and
to wipe out the stinging defeat of the previous year. Tliis school has always
had a reputation as being one of the strongest in athletics in the G. I. A. A.,
but that afternoon at Ponce de Leon Park this aggregation returned to their
homes a sadden but wiser crew, while old Richmond returned home to roast
the venison of a 6 to victory. Sherlock was the star of the game. Breaking
through the line, with Lehman for interference, he passed the secondary de-
fense and ran 65 yds. to a touchdown. At times during the game Boy's High
rallied and once advanced to our 10 yard line, but the Academy line with their
backs to the wall, fought like tigers and held. As to the ])rowess of the line an
Atlanta sporting scribe said: "Their line just formed a perfect milky-way for
the backs and that Merry decidedly out-played the opposing center."

Then came the 1st District Agricultural and Mechanical College, (States-
boro, Ga.) \ov. (5, the only team which we met during the season that didn't
tower over us in weight. The result appears in the score, -tO-O. Richmond
got their "goats" from the first. The team lined up for the first scrinnnage
after the kick-off, Sherlock passed forty-five yards to Lehman who ran thirty
yards to a touchdown. This being completed in the record breaking time of
2.5 seconds from the opening of the game. Statcsboro was a game crew, fight-
ing every inch of the way, tiiough playing a losing game. Three times with
their goal in danger their line held and the ball went over. Every man in the
Richmond backfield scored, Sherlock leading with three touchdowns to his
credit. From the line, the work of Johnson and Capt. North were the out-
standing features.

We next tackled the "Green and Orange" warriors of Lanier, Nov. 12, at
^Licon, Ga. During this game our eleven ])layed under one of the greatest
handica])s a team can ])ossibly have an unfair referee. Richmond was ])enal-
ized over 10.5 yards for everything ])ossible, Lanier only 10, when in our suc-
ceeding game with Savannah neither team was penalized. The final score how-
ever shows what a team can do against odds. Lanier's onlv touchdown re-
sulted from an intercepted pass in the first quarter. Cleckley was the cause of
two of our counters, one after a series of bucks and the second from a run of
70 yards through the entire Lanier eleven. Ca])t. North at tackle ]i resented
the most sjjectacular work from the line, though outweighed by his opponent
Rainev, who was considered as the "(ireen and Orange's' best.

Continuing our march of victory the succeeding week end, Nov. 19, we
paraded into Savannah, to engage our oldest rivals. This game is usually
])layed Thanksgiving Day, but due to their renewed relations with Benedictine
College (Savannah, Ga.) it was placed on (uir schedule one week earlier than
us\ial. The game o]>ene(l as if a disastrous defeat was in store for the wearers
of the "Purple and Gold." Savainiah a(Kanced the ball to Richmond's 1.5 vard

(80)

THIS A

line, wliere she essayed a drop kick which failed, Piiilpot tiicn kicked 60 yards
to mid-field. Again Savannah steadily advanced and attempted another drop
kick, wliich also failed. Tiiis closed the first quarter, but at tiie opening of the
second Riclimond fovuul herself, the jump sjiift began to work in jjcrfect ])re-
cision and tlie ball was advanced to Savannah's .'J yard line where she held for
three downs, but was unable to withstand tiie plunging line. The great inter-
ference of tiie Old Historic's backs gave Cleckley a chance to carry the ball over
for tiie first touchdown of the game. Later in the game Baker recovered a
fumble by Savannah and ran -K) yards for a touciidowii. These were the lone
counters of the game, the resulting score being \3 to in favor of Richmond.
I may here mention the agreeable fact that neither team was penalized during
the entire game. Savannah is one of tiie cleanest schools in sportmanship that
Richmond ever hopes to compete against, and may her team continue to fight
for what they have always fought for fair play.

This brings us near the close of the season, with one game yet to be played.
The "Richmond Special" left the Union Station Nov. 2-5 promptly at 9:00
o'clock, bound for flic metropolis of Bamberg in the land of Carolina, the
Purple and Gold bent on triumjih. But, as previously mentioned, the imagin-
ative beauty of this vision was never realized. Our standards went down in
defeat to the score of 20-0. Little can be added to what has been said before.
The Academy eleven fought as no team can ever fight again, but were unable to
cope with the heavier team which out-weight them 23 pounds to the man.
Passes were resorted to but were very unsuccessful due to the high wind which
swept the arena at all times of the game. This marked the closing of a season
in which Richmond had crowned herself with glory and ])roved her right to be
})lace(l among the leading jirep schools of the state, and it is hojied that she will
be ])laced among the others in the G. I. A. A. before the opening of the games

next fall. On our 1921 schedule is a game with Sandv Beaver's strong aggre-
gation from Riverside on Turkev Day, and with G. ]\I. C.

Inunediatelv following the \'arsit\' football schedule of a series of games are
plaved among the various company elevens for the championship of the bat-
talion. These teams are composed of non-letter men and are awarded j)en-
nants with the com])any letter and the combined scores of their o])ponents
against theirs. This series of games not only develops the physiijue of tiie
men participating, but also enables the coaches to obtain an idea of the ma-
terial they have for the next year.

The first games of this series were ])layed December 10, Company B defeat-
ing Company D by the score of 19 to 0, and Comj)any C defeating Com])any A
21 to (5. On December 1-i Company B met Company A and again Company A
met defeat to the tune of T to 0, while Com|)any C again rei)eated its winning
streak and defeateil Comjiany D 7 to 0.

TJiese games brought Companies B and C together to decide the chanipion-
shi|) on December 16. Com])anv B o])ened uj) with a terrific ottensive tl:e first
})lay netting them .'35 yards by a beautiful run of Fazio's. This put them in
close distance of C s goal and Trowbritlge carried it across. This however
marked the close of B's scoring. At the opening of the second half Heath for
C intercepted a pass and ran from mid-field to a touchdown. A little later
Reese did tiie same thing and at the close of the half the score v,as 14 to (i in
favor of Com|)any C, Parks not having missed a goal from placement during
the entire series of games.

Opponents, 230.

Richniond liere ojjencd her first season at basket ball in the history of the
school. Thoufrh not having such an enviable record as in football, siie has
crowned hereself with glory at her first atteni])t and has returned, victorious
from the majority of her engagements.

The varsity squad of this year unanimously elected Aloragne Whitney as
Captain to lead the "Old (iold and Purple" tjuintet next season. He has more
than shown his ability as a leader during the past season, leading his team to
victory in five out of nine games. He is a two-letter man this year ; in football
and basket ball, and in all probability history will repeat itself next year.

We wish to express our hearty appreciation to the directors of the Y. M.
C. A. for their intense interest in old Richmond, and their unconditional per-
mission for the use of the gym for the purpose of daily practice, and all sche-
duled games. The Academy has no adequate gymnasium for basket ball, but it
is ho])ed that in the near future, when we ex])ect the men of Augusta to assist
us in the erection of an u})-to-date auditorium, this need will be supplied.

Due to the hard work of Mr. "Pop" Blanchard, to whom all credit is due,
the raw material was whipped into shape and at the close of the season would
have given any team in the state a close fight for honors. Practice started a
little later than the usual time at which other schools are |)ut to the grind, and
was complete broken into by the Christmas holidays, but the week immediately
following the holidays the team was rounded into condition to play the strong
quintet from Savannah, which in the ])revious year claimed the championshi|)
of all Georgia.

SCHEOrLE REVIEW

Richmond opened her season against Xorth Augusta, the school from across
the 1 iver. on the afternoon of Jan. 5, with a glorious victory to the count of
^S-O. Whitney and Johnson, the stclla forwards of old Richmond, just
couldn't miss, shooting from all ])ositions of the floor. Kil})atrick, C, also did
wonderful work at left-guard, taking Creighton into camp several times where
he would have made several spectacular shots.

Then came the "Oyster Shelled" men from Savannah, Jan. H, one of the
fastest teams Richmond engaged during the season. The entire Academy team
should be considered as briglit ligiits in this fray; the passing of the team
could not have been excelled, and with Lehmann, Kilpatrick, A., and Kilpatrick,
C, feeding the ball down the floor into the waiting hands of Johnson and
Whitney, who seldom missed a try, the game was never in doubt, excej)t before
the teams took the floor.

We next went up against the lean and lanky crew of Greensboro, Jan. IT,
at (ireensboro. This quintet got the jump on Richmond at the start and the
result is shown in the score l(i-.52, an overwhelming defeat, but one that was
])layed under a handicap of the court. It was the Academy's first aj)pear-
ance upon an out-door court, especially of the 4.5 degree type, we just
couldn't stand up. Several instances of how luck can su{)j)ort a team were
shown. One shot I never hope to see made again, with a Greensboro man flat
on his back on the ground and Richmond covering him, lie swings tlu' ball to
the side in a ))erfect arc into the basket.

We then matched our strengtii witii Porter, fi-om Charleston, S. C, Jan. 20.

(01)

'^ T??r

M

This contest was hard fought until tlie hist bh)\v of the whistle, when Porter
won in the hist three secontl of phiy 2:}-21. Tiie Acadeniy })layed a consistent
game throughout, not trying to make individual plays, hut by fast foot work
and accurate shooting, they gave Porter the fight of their lives, clearly out-
playing them in all points of the game, hut the bi-eaks were against them.
Johnson and Whitney were as usual at their best, while Kilpatrick, A., broke
uj), time and time again, the offensive of Porter.

In our next game we again faced the handicap of an open court, but de-
feated Xorth Augusta, Jan. 26, in a close game, 11-10.

The following week end, Jan. 29. we engaged the Savannah Quintet foi- the
second time during the season. This was the hardest fought game in which
we participated. Richmond led at the clo.se of the first half by a one ])oint
margin, i-3, Savannah having shot three fouls. But in the second half Sav-
annah allowed Richmond only four ])oints. Johnson was the only man on the
team that was able to find tiie basket, he making seven of the eight points
awarded to the Academy. Whitney was entirely off, so resorted to the pass-
ing game, for which the Savannah papers say we carried off the honors. The
resulting score was 19-8 in favor of Savannah.

We next annexed a victory over the Carlisle warriors from Bamberg, S. C,
Feb. 5. The Academy Musketeers were out for revenge, for the defeat given
them by the Carlisle crew in football, and they got it in every minute of the
game. The resulting score 27-13 shows what the "Purple and Gold'' men did
for them. The majority of their counters coming in the first few minutes of
play, when the Academy quintet was to eager for a victory to ])lay the game
they should have, but when they did get down to business, Carlisle ditln't have
a look-in. Whitney, though playing forward, was all over the floor, and Kil-
l)atrick, C., was not nmch behind him.

Then not satisfied with this drubbing, at the close of the next period of
school we journevcd to their home town, Feb. 12. This game was closely
played for the first half due to the outdoor court, Richmond leading by one
point, but when the second half opened and the wearers of the "Purple and
Gold" became adapted to the couri. Carlisle wasn't on the field, not being al-
lowed but four counters during this periotl, while the close of the game showed
victory for the Old Historic, 22-16. The Academy's five man defense was
in])regnable, and the shots which Carlisle made were long and far between.

^Vith the close of the season at hand, and yet one game to be ])laycd, the
Greensboro High team invaded our camp Feb. 12. During this encounter
several freak shots were made from the middle of the court and farther. The
feature of the game was the exceptional guarding of both teams. Whitney
led in ])()iiits, scoring ten of the total of 1.'3 for Richmond, while Kinard, who
was substituted for Kilpatrick, A., brought the crowd to their feet when he
lifted the ball into a beautiful arc and caged it from three quarters of the
floor, he also played a jam-up floor game for the few minutes he was in the
fray. I>ehmann at center was there with the reach, taking four out of every
five jumps. Fouls were numerous, eleven personal an<l two technical fouls being
called on Greensboro, and seven ])ers:)nals and three technicals were called on
the Academy. The final count in favor of (ireensboro was 23-14. This
closes a very successful season, considering the men's lack of ex])erience.

AVitli five letter men retuiiiiiig next year, the ])ros])ects are fine for the Old
Historic. She should well establish herself in this branch of athletics and
clean up everything by the close of next season. Men! Let's back next year's
team and ])ut Richmond where she belongs.

The Academy opened its track season in a dual meet witii Bailie Military

exiierienced men against those of the exj)erieneed ty})e. Clecklev was the in-
dividual star of the meet, entering six events, including the relay, and bringing
home tiie bacon in all of them. He broke Richmond records in four events,
and established one in an event new to this section of the country, the discus
throw. However, this meet ended disastrously for the wearers of the "Purple

At tilt' closu of our successful season in Basket Ball all eyes were focused
ujjon Mr. Crook and his group of tigers on the diamond, and indeed tiie name
doesn't half express it. The colors of Old Richmond have been flying from
the highest peak possible for the past month. We have won eight games and
lost but one. This game was lost to a school whom we had defeated the pre-
vious Saturday 13-2.

Charlie Gillman, last year's star, who struck out 2.3 men in one game against
Carlisle, is back and doing great on the mound. He is Cajjtain of this year's
nine, and it couldn t he placed in better hands.

When this article goes to press the season is but two-thirds over, but with
the record that has already been made, there is no doubt for the future, even
though we have G. M. C. for our next opponent.

SCHEDFLE REVIEW

We first journeyed to Washington, (ia., March 5th, to engage Washington
High, who were said to have one of the strongest aggregations in that section

of the country. C'harlit.' Gilhiiiin allowed them only three singles, while Reese
and Kinard did good work with the stick. Sherlock at third base also did some
pretty work, e.speciall_v in stopping a fast drive down the third base line when
he made a flying back-hand stab for the sphere, secured it, and caught his man
hardly a foot from the base. The final count being 13-2 in favor of Richmond.

The following Saturday, Aj)ril 8, however, we were not quite so successful
in our battle against this team, they defeated us 4-6. Several of the players
were out of the game, and Parks, who was substituted for Johnson, just
couhhi't hold Gillman. Cashin was the star of the fray, smashing out four
liits out of five trips to the plate.

Then we began our march of victory, I^anier being our first victim. They
appeared here Ai)ril 1.5 and 16 for a two-game series. In the first game Gill-
man, our stellar box artist, was chosen for the work; and he certainly did his
share, striking out 16 men, allowing them four hits, and backing up his work
with exceptional use of the willow. Kinard also came in for his share of the
hits. Owens was called to the mound April 16, and as they thought they
couldn't be beaten the second time ,he allowed them only three hits an:l struck
out nine. The resulting score was H-'.i for the men of the Old Historic.

Witii tlie sound of victory ringing in their ears. Savannah Higli next in-
vaded our camj). The first game on Friday being rained out, we engaged them
in a double-header on April 2'.i. Gillman was again the star of the Richmond
orcw, striking out fourteen men and allowing them five hits during both en-

T

counters, wliich led them to tlieir fourth consecutive victory. Botli scores
were 4-1 .

Then Carlisle, not being satisfied with her defeats at tlie iiands of the Rich-
mond Quintet, arrived here for a two-game series April 29. "Hard Luck"
Warren, the center of this year's football squad, did the mound work for Carl-
isle against our mainstay, Gillman, and it was a pitcher's battle from the start.
Gillman struck out ten men and permitted them but six hits. Otherwise there
were no fatures, both teams playing fine ball. Here Richmond again chalked
up another victory by a 4-3 count. The following day, April 30, started
prettv bad for Richmond, but Owens settled down and the game was put on ice
in the fourth inning by a three-bagger over third from Kinard's bat, with
three men on bases.

The home crew, however, grew tired of playing on the liome field, so last
week-end they journeyed to the south to engage the wearers of the "Blue and
White" in Savannah, May 6, in a double-header. They returned to the Old
Historic a few days later with the long end of both games, 9-3 and 4-3. Tiiese
made eight straight wins for Richmond. Gillman ])itched both games, better-
ing his previous record by striking out 15 men and allowing 8 hits during both
games. Philpot was the bright light at bat for the Academy in both games,
securing one out of two attempts in the first game and three out of three in
the second. His fielding was also another feature of the engagements.

This completes the schedule up to the time this goes to press, making a total
of 9 victories and one defeat. With great hopes for the season wiiich is now
drawing to a close, we place the record of this year's nine upon the shoulders
of future teams to work for.

The Real Hero

aLLYN voii GLl'C'K, wlio liad rucfiitly ixtunu'd from F'r<uice, was ])raiscd
bv evervoiif in tlio ])icturL'S(jUf village of Voyeii, and rigiitly so, because
he liad a Distinguished Service Cross for saving a fell()w-c:)nirade under
fire. Also another advantage of being a liero was that he was on friendly
terms, which might lead to other things, with Mildred Hart, the most beauti-
ful girl in the town.

Now with .Jimmie Burt it was a diflerent matter: at the Ix'giiuiing of tlie
war between the I'nited States and Germany he had disa|)peareti, and had re-
turned only recently. As no one knew where he had gone, much talk went
around about his not fighting for his country in time of trouble. This was the
first time that he had been thouglit a coward, and he was compared with Allyn,
or rather contrasted with him, which was not nmch to Jiunnie's credit. One or
two went so far as to ask him why he had not gone to war, but had received the
vague reply that he had been away on business. Gradually the people became
colder, some giving only a passing nod, others refusing to speak at all. When
thev saw him they either crossed the street or turned their heads. This con-
tinued until scarcely a ])erson would speak to him. and what cut him more than
anything else was that Mildred was one of those who avoided him.

But Jimmie had not entirely given up ho])e. for the Chief of the Secret
Service was to come and speak to tiie town soon, and lie thought that the cool-
ness of the people would turn into warmness, and that Mildred would change
her attitude toward him. Jimmie went on with his head up. hoping that the
time for the Chief to sj)eak would soon arrive. Life dragged on slowly, Jimmie
getting more despondent as the time passed, in spite of his efforts to appear un-
concerned. The worst blow to him in this trying time was when he sent a
letter to Mildred, which was returned unopened with a note which stated in
cold terms that if he would ex])lain why he had not enlisted, then it would be
time to correspond. And Jimmie could not at the time give reasons. He was
indeed in a bad way and nearly gave himself uj) for lost, but still lie held on.

On the morning of the day that the Chief was to speak everybody came,
curious to know of what he was going to speak. Jimmie gained courage as
the time drew near and walked witii a springy stej) and his head up.

The speech was at the toii iiall at eight o'clock, and at that time tiie hall
was crowded. On the third row sat Mildred and Allyn. who conversed gayly
on various subjects. I'rom})tly at eight the Chief ap})eared on the platform,
followed by Jinmiie and Willie Smitherson. whom Allyn had saved in France.
With the aid of his crutches he reached the chair ])ut there for him.

A cheer went u]) when the Chief apjjeared, but was cut short at the sight
of Jinnnie. A murmur of disapproval took the ])lace of the cheer. The Chief
of tiie Secret Service arose from his seat. ])ut out his iiand for silenci', and
began :

"Ladies and Gentlemen "

That was as much as Jimmie heard, but afterwards he learned that the
Chief had told the people how Jimmie, u])on going to the recruiting office, had

(lOH)

met a rc])resontativc of tlie Secret Service who explained to him the need of
men in that department, and how he had accepted, and had .succeeded in track-
ing down one of the mofst dangerous spies in the country. He told of the
proof Jinnnic had against him, and how he had trailed him back to this country.
He told how this spy had picked u\) a comrade in action, not to save him, but
merely to shield his own body from the bullets.

"And," the Chief had concluded, "this man, who was decorated .and made
a lieutenant for his bravery, is a resident of this town, and his name is Allyn
von Gluck. "

At this instant von Gluck leaped to his feet, with a revolver in his hand and
connnanded everybody to remain seated. Going slowly backwards up the aisle
to the entrance, his eyes everywhere at one time, he backed out of the door into
the arms of three secret service men, who jiromjjtly clamped the handcuffs
on him.

Everybody ran pellmell through the entrance and out into the street, to
see von Gluck surrounded by government officers who were headed in the direc-
tion of the jail. He was kept there until the next day, when he was transferred
to the federal prison.

On this same day Jimmie received, on stationery smelling sweetly of roses,
a sweetly worded invitation in a well-known handwriting. I may as well add
that he promptly accepted it.

The Miracle of the Christ Head

XT was a bitter cold Christmas nigiit. The city of Paris was covered by
a carpet of snow. Awav back on one of the side streets was the small,
but comfortable, house of Peter Heinlin, a German by birth, but now a
watchmaker, accustomed to French habits. Inside the house sat Peter, rock-
ing in his old arm-chair, and playing a few favorite airs on his beloved violin.
At his feet sat little Marie, a child of three. Her mother, a ])retty French-
woman, liad died at the birth of Marie, whicii occurrence had caused ])oor Peter
much grief; but he was comforted by baby Marie, who resembled her mother in
every respect. Peter was a midille-aged man, perhaps in his early forties,
stern in his appearance, but with a kind and loving spirit, and a heart of gold.

In the midst of his reveries, he suddenly stopped, listened. What was that
faint moaning.'' It appeared to come from the street, so Peter slowly arose,
walked to the door and gently opened it. Brr ! How the wind howled, it ])ierced
his thin clothing, and chilled him to the bone. He looked bewilderedly to the
right, then to the left, but only the long carpet of snow, which covered the de-
serted streets, met his eves. All at once he heard tlie low moaning again, al-
most at his feet, and glancing tlown, his eves fell ujjon a little wiiite bundle. He
picked it up, and carried it (juickly into the liouse. Upon examination, he
found the bundle to contain a little brown-eyed lad, about four years old,
wra))})ed in a blanket, yet almost on the point of freezing. Peter placed the
lad in front of the big, cheerful fire, until lie had revived, then he fed him, and

What sliould lie name him? Ah! Jac(iues, the name of his dead wife's hrother.
When an answer for these two (]nestioiis had been provided, Peter lav down be-
side tiu' child, and soon fell aslei']).

Fifteen years have elajised since little Jac(jues was discovered Iving in the
snow, half starved. But now he had reaclieil manhood, a stalwart lad, straight
as an arrow. His raven-black hair hung in curly locks over his sun-tannetl
forehead. He possessed a pair of big brown eyes that reminded one of those
of a deer. Marie had now reached the age of eighteen, just blossoming into
rtomanhood. In outward appearance she resembled her mother, having liglit
curly hair and shining blue eyes. Her little French nose was slightly uj)-
turned, and her thin li{)s had a j)eculiar twitch, perhaps due to her nervous
temjiei anient. Hut the soul of ]\Iaric was like that of her father. I'eter, kind
iind loving, and with a heart of gold.

I'lider the mindful eye of olil I'eter, his adopted son had studied, since earlv
childhood drawing, ])ainting, and other forms of art. But Jacijues cared
little for these. He had reached manhood, and wished only the permission of
his guardian to wed Marie. But old Peter said in his stern, but kindly man-
ner, that he would withhold his consent, until Jacques should become a suc-
cessful artist.

So with this one great purpose in mind, Jacques struggled on, day by day,
but without avail. His paintings were good, but judged by the ciitics as no
better than the average artist's.

Until one day Monsieur Devant, the great art critic, was passing through
the art gallery and stopi)ed to look at one of Jacijues' paintings, a simple wooil-
land scene. After gazing at it for a few moments, he suildenly threw his arms
nito the air, and ran around the gallery like one insane. He pointed to the
picture. Crowds gathered below, to discover the cause of the peculiar actions
of Monsieur Devant. Ah! It was all clear after his explanation. For there,
in the outline of the trees of the sim])le woodland scene, was the outline of a
perfect Christ Head, beautiful in its structure, the nearest to j)erfection ever
obtained by any artist. Soon otifers were made to Jacques twentv-tive thous-
and, fifty thousand, seventy-five thousand francs and finally, Monsieur De-
vant bought the painting for one hundred thousand francs. With this first
.-.uccess, came inspiration to Jactjues. He worked day and night, often neglect-
ing his meals. At last he became the most famous artist in all I'aris, worth
many thousand francs. But all this success meant very little to .laccjucs. Had
he not gained his heart's desire.'' He was to have Alarie for his own wife, and
for wliat else could he wish.''

It is again Christmas night, and the streets are covered with snow, exactlv
as they were eighteen years ago, when Jacques was a tiny chap, hidden in the
gutter of old Peter's house. The church bells arc chiming, for it is tonight that
.Marie and Jacijues, the most famous artist in Paris, are to be joined in Holv
Alatrimony.

A Friend's Deception

>^=^HR01TGH Golden Gulch, a .small mining sfttlemunt of the northland,
V, J there ran a road whicli forked at the inn on the outskirts of the village.
After having supper, Jack Weaver made his way along this road, as he
was going for iiis mail. As he passed through the village he noticed that
evervtliing was unusually quiet. All the houses were dark and seemed deserted.
Far in the distance he could see the giant jagged peaks whicli pierced tlie hriglit
full moon. Everything was covered with a blanket of snow. The cold, biting
wind sighed, as it swept through the boughs of the leafless trees.

As he neared the inn he could see that it was brightly lighted. He could
hear the laughter of the careless miners. Some of them were noisy and rowdy ;
others were gav and ha])])y, and were drinking to the iiealtli of their friends.
Some were rambling wrecks, ever going from one place to another, while some
even took life as a joke.

Jack walked up on the ])orch, kicked his shoes against a post in order to
get rid of the snow. Then he quietly opened the door and entered.

E^verybody turned to see the newcomer, and well they might, because he was,
indeed, a fine young man. He was strong and broad-shouldered, and as he
entered lie seemed a veritable young Hercules. His eyes were blue, ])ale blue
like a baby's. His hair and complexion light, his jaw firm and well-shaped.
Why he had come to this hellish, God-forsaken country, nobody knew. He had
few friends, because he always lived a])art from the rough, uncultured, and
almost savage men. Jack was called a "tenderfoot" because he abstained from
strong drink, always satisfying his thirst with a light wine. It was said that
he was the best card player in the village, but he never jilayed for stakes.

After glancing at Jack, but without saying a word, they continued their
games and dances. Jack strode over to the bar where Sam, the bartender, was
filling several glasses with "hooch.'" On seeing Jack a]jproacliing, Sam turned
and from a small ])igeon hole he took out a white letter, which he handed to
Jack. He took it with a smile of satisfaction and hapjiiness.

Anxious to read his letter. Jack made his way to an isolated table where he
could read without being disturlied. Opening his letter he began to read.
Soon his smile had faded into a frown. He threw the letter upon the floor, but
quickly picked it up, folded it and placed it in his pocket. Then he drew out
a small black book and began to work over his savings, which he found to be
nearly thirty thousand dollars.

Jack arose, strode slowly across the room to a table where some men were
gambling. With his hands thrust in his ])ockets he stood watching the game.
The players looked up in surprise at his coming to look at a jioker game, for
they knew he never gambled.

Presently he spoke, saying, "Let me get into the game." Astonished and
surprised, they made room for him and began a new game. Jack caliiilv

(111)

THIE A

opened tlie pot for two tliousand dollars iind was taken up by the others. Soon
he was raking the tabic of piles of coin. His luck was the same for several
games. Seeing that .lack's ])ace was too fast, all the men withdrew exce])t an
old, boastfid, dirty crooked scoundrel named I'ete HoUey. Pete had, and lived
up to, the reputation of being tiie biggest crook in the country. As he con-
tinued to })lay the game with Jack, lie used every underhand trick that he knew.
But in spite of all. Jack won time after time.

Seeing his money diminishing so rapidly, Pete called for drinks, as he was
determined to down his rival. By a sign made by Pete the bartender knew
his scheme. He returned to tiie bar, placed two glasses in a tray, and in one
lie })oured whiskey and in the other "vin rouge," which lie drugged with
laudanum. He returned to the table, served the glasses of whiskey and drugged
wine to Pete and Jack, respectively. Jack had become reckless, and he seized
his glass and drank the contents in two or three big gulps. Soon the drug be-
gan to produce the desired effect, for it seemed as if Jack's mind was clogged,
he couldn't think clearly and rapidly.

Pete saw' this and persuaded Jack into staking everything in this, the last
game, in order to recover all that he had lost and also to break his opj)onent.
To this Jack consented, and as he could not play as successfully as at first, he
lost all. He laid his head ujion the table and was soon sound asleep.

It was an eai'ly hour in the morning and everybody was tired and sleejiy.
They left one by one until the crowd had disappeared and no one was left in
the dance hall exce])t Jack. The bartender grabbed him by the collar of his
sliirt, and dragged him into an adjoining room, where he shoved him upon a
pile of straw to sjiend the remaiiider of the night.

About day-break Jack awoke and found that he was not in his warm, cozy
little bed, but he was so dizzy that he was unable to recognize where he was.
He staggered blindly about the room and found a door which he succeeded in
o]jening after several attemjits. He made his way across the porch, and see-
ing the steps, he tried to walk down, but as everything seemed to go whirling
about him he, fell, while grasping an imaginary post.

When Jack awoke from his stujior, he found himself in his room. He sprang
from his bed, and while standing in the middle of the room he rubbed his eves
and ])iiiched himself to make sure that he was not dreaming. He could not re-
member coming home, but vaguely remembered playing cards at the dance hall.

Then he felt a sharp pain in ids head, and he knew that something had
lia])])encd to him. As he was already dressed there was nothing for him to do
except wash and get something to eat, as he was ravenously hungry.

After having breakfast, and carefully dressing the wound on his head,
which he had received by falling down the ste])s, he built a roaring fire in the
fireplace. Then he drew a comfortable chair before the fire and seated himself.

As he sat there his diverted gaze fell upon a volume of Burn's poems which
was on the table close by. Reaching over he picked u]) the volume and opened
it. His eyes fell ujion the stanza :

(112)

THE A

"Humid seal of soft affections,
Dearest tie of young connections,
Tenderest ])ledge of future bliss,
Love's first snowdrop, virgin kiss.''

Tliis aroused him, and he continued to the next stanza :

"Speaking silence, dumb confession.
Dove-like fondness, chaste concession.
Passion's birth and infant's play.
Glowing daw'n of brighter day."

His head rested upon the back of his chair, his eyes, which were filling with
tears, were looking up at the ceiling. As he sat there before the fire, he re-
called the love and the girl he had left behind. He thought of the times they
iiad strolled down the lane, through tiie flower garden, and when she had
plucked a little rose to pin upon his coat. He thought of the times that they
liad walked to tlie bench under the old magnolia tree, for it was there that they
liad first declared their love for each other.

Could he forget the smiling face of that gill who was to iiini tile sweetest
girl in the world? Could lie forget those eyes from wiiicli he could see a world
of love look out at him? Could lie forget tlie s])eechless joy as her sweet red
lips met his in one long, long kiss? No! He could not forget, for tlie image
of that maiden beamed through all he thought or saw or dreamed. A smile
broke upon his lips when lie tiiought of tlie day of his departure, when she threw
lier soft, tender arms about his neck and, with tears streaming down her cheeks
like diamonds, she beggect him not to go. But Ins smile changed to a cold,
stern frown as he thought of the letter ho had received the night before.

At this moment he heard a soft rapping on his door. He opened it and
Sam, the postman and bartender, walked in anil gave him another letter. Sam
went to the fire to warm, while Jack o])eiied and read the letter. AVlieii he had
finished, he said in an excited tone, "I see through it all. Yes ! I see through
it all." Then Jack related the story of the two letters. The one that he had
received the night before was from a rival, who had written to inform him that
Ruth, Jack's girl, was engaged to another. Then came the letter he had just
read, from Ruth, one of those long sweet letters, in which she begged Jack to
come back to her. It was now clear: Jack's rival liatl written a lie, trving to
make Jack stay out of the way.

Jack said to Sam, "I am going back tonight to get my girl.'' Jack was as
happy as a lark. He began collecting his things in order to pack up, when
Sam, whose eyes filled with tears, said: "Jack, I'm sorry old boy, but vou
can't go back tonight iiecause vour monev's gone."

"What !" shouted Jack, as he whirled about. He thrust his hands into his
])ockets with such force that it seemed as if he would tear them out, his jaws
clicked together, his fists doubled, and he cast a fierce glance at Sam.

Sam, with head bent low, told tl;e story of how and what he had done to
help Pete steal the money. Then he made abject apologies, as the tears welled
in his eyes : and after promising to help Jack regain his nionev, he took his leave.

(113)

TmiE A

It was not until tlio afternoon that Jack met Pete. He walked up to liim,
slaj)])e<l him on the shoulder and whirled him about. Pete, upon recognizing
Jiim, made a quick motion toward his gun, but was too slow, for Jack had him
covered.

Jack took his hand off Pete's shoulder and then said slowly, in a voice that
displayed neither nervousness, fear, nor excitement: "Pete, you contemptible,
infernal, yellow-streaked cur, you'll })ay for your low-down trick. Pull otl'
your gun belt. I'm going to give you a thrashing that you 11 never forget."

Pete laughed heartily at the idea, as he removed his belt and coat. This he
had hardly done, before they were together. Pete, drunk, and wild with rage,
rushed forward, but he could not withstand the blows of a giant, a young Her-
cules. In a few minutes Pete had measured his length on the ground. Jack
made him return the money which he had taken by unfair means.

Taking his hat and coat. Jack returned to his hut. He packed up and
was soon ready to board the night train for the States.

Jack's train was delayed, and it was late when he reached his home town.
But he went at once to Ruth's house. She came to the door. There were but
two words spoken.

"Jack !"

"Ruth !"

She lifted her pale, beautiful face to his as she clasped her white arms about
his neck. Then their lips met. Their spirits grew together in one long, long
kiss ; one swooning pulse of bliss that throbbed from their hearts. As their lips
met again and again, the eternal sweetness of those kisses filled their hearts
and souls with ecstatic joy and heavenly bliss.

The Legend of the Mound-Builders

Once a dusky maiden of beauty rare,

Entranced two warriors bold and brave;
Like a star her face, and lier midnight hair

Crowned a brow more ])ure than the ocean wave.

'Twas the age when that wondrous, and mighty race,
Tlie Mound builders dwelt in the land of flowers.

And they wrought with skill and with magic grace,
And temples were reared, and lofty towers.

Now Ouita, the maiden, though fair and sweet.
Was coy as the breeze, and as gay and light ;

She sped through the maze with flying feet,
And sang from noon till dewy night.

And the warriors gazed with loving eyes

While burned their hearts with a jealous fire;

Each eager to win the lovely j)rize.

Each watching the other with jealous ire.

But Ouita, though coy, was faithful and true

To the one she loved, tall Alta brave;
She gave him her hand, and her heart went, too.

But, alas! through love lay her path to the grave.

In bridal robes decked with orange bloom.

The young bride walked with her own true love;

When a ])oisoned dart sealed her fearful doom.
And her spirit fled to bright realms above.

She died on a bed of pure white flowers.

And a nest of birds lay trembling near;
Now the snowy jietals make crimson bowers.

And the downy heads crests of carmine wear.

And though hundreds of years have })assed away,

Still at even-tide a voice floats by ;
And a shadowy form at the close of day

Glides swiftly on where the lovers lie.

In an Indian mound by the river side

They tenderly laid sweet Ouita fair ;
And Alta could not survive his bride.

For his heart was dead and they laid him there.

Life

Sailing o'er life s troubled ocean,
In our frail and battered bark,

Heedless of its giddy motion,
Sailing without guide or mark.

Dreaming but of present pleasure.
Floating onward, careless, gay,

Seeking for no liigiier treasure,
Though we're dying day by day.

Drifting onward, drifting ever.
To the goal whence none return :

Hoping ever, looking never.

Far beyond our earthly bourne.

AVith the pretty bubbles ])laying.
As they swiftly ])ass us by ;

Emblems of our own decaying.
As we (juickly fade and die.

Heeding not the beckoning fingers
Pointing out our dangerous way,

Nor the warning voice that lingers
In our hearts so light and gay.

We live to-day wo die to-morrow.
Seldom do we think of this;

Every heart must feel its sorrow.
Ere it taste of heavenly bliss.

The Lovers

Over the hills, above the trees,

The bright full moon is seen
Casting its soft, pale rays on tiie

Dew which like diamond gleams.

The gentle zephvrs toss the leaves

In tiio silence of the night.
But lo ! There's heard a footstep fall,

Then comes a maid in white.

Her head she hung upon her breast ;

Her heart, it seemed, was sad.
A cry she heard come down the hills.

And now she seemed so glad.

A smile has lighted uj) her face.
Her eyes, they shine with love.

As there she stood, she seemed to be
An angel from above.

But she had heard that cry before,

She knew it very well.
And soon he sat there by her side,

His tale of love to tell.

The midnight hour had long been struck:
To them each hour was bliss,

As there they sat in solitude.
To fondle and to kiss.

His soul was filled with ecstacy.
When she on him would smile

With eyes that told of a heart of love.
Of love that was worth while.

Intoxicated with their love.

They loved until they cried.
Their hearts they were so full of joy

They burst. The lovers died.

Now boys, in this there is advice :
You must not lo\e "beaucou})"',

For if you do like the lovers, you
May likewise follow suit !

My Sweetheart

The moon was briglit, tliu air was sweet,

And balmy zepliyrs (>ently rest,
Tlie fragrant breath of flowers in bloom.

Floated through our little love nest.

There, at mv side, so close to me.

Was my sweetheart so pure and true;
My soul fled to the realms above.

When I gazed in her eyes of blue.

Her shoulders, tender, soft and white,

Her cheeks so red and rosy are;
To me she is an angel dear,

F'airer than Phoebe's sapphire star.

Her voice is a sweet melody,

That charms a tumult in my breast.
Her head of golden locks of hair

Upon my shoulder gently rests.

She lifts her eyes of love to me,

A smile now breaks upon her face,
I put my indolent arms around

Her beautiful, supple, well-shaped waist.

She smiled acquiescence, she breathed my name.

As I my tale of love repeat ;
Enraptured, thrilled, delighted as

Our lips in darling essence meet.

One long, long swooning pulse of jov,

I felt as I tasted that kiss.
An amorous breeze from ethereal realms

Tossed her hair in that moment of bliss.

Oh ! How I love to taste the dewy

Freshness of those rosy lips ;
From those lijis bubble spring of love.

And in them my soul and heart dijis.

She seems to me an angel of love ;

She is her father's dear sweet pet.
But is also my dear sweetheart.

And I shall some day win her yet.

With crowds of girls at every meet.

Guv stood in the hall at midnight,
His lips to lier's he i)ressed,

Her father came upon the scene
Fast .sped the long-legged guest.

THE A

Here's to the girl, the onlv girl

Of whom I cannot joke.
Who says, "Let's not go out tonight,"

Tiie evening I am broke.

"Hank" Philpot : "Does the amoeba have sense(s)?"
Prof. Scruggs : "Whv, man, lie has as much as you."

"If you kiss me," declared Miss Frances firmly. "I shall tell father."

"That's an old tale." replied tlie bold, bad man. "Anyway, it's worth it,"
and he kissed her.

Miss Frances sprang to her feet. "I sliall tell father," she said, and went
into another room.

"Father," she said softly, wiien slie got into thhe other room. "Mr. Sherman
wants to see your new gun.'

"All rigiit, I'll take it in to him," said lier father, and two minutes later ap-
peared at the doorwav with the new gun in his hand.

There was a crash of breaking glass as Jim Sherman dived through the
window and de])arted in all liaste for tlie first train out of Athens.

This famous artist mot his death
Because he couldn't draw his breatli.

A boy tell oft' Anheuser Rusch,
He tore his pants to Schlitz.
He rose a sad Budweiscr boy,
Pabst no, Pabst yes.

Friend Charley jVlcCord, out to see his girl,
Just couldn't bear to go ;
He said good night a thousand times,
(The lights were burning low).
They stood out in the hallway,
For one last farewell kiss,
Then Charley, with a beating heart
Went " this,

down like

the steps

He scampered back for more,
They said farewell full twenty times
Beside the open door;
But father thought "twas growing late.
Despite young lovers' bliss,
And Charley, unsuspecting,
Went down the stc})s like
this.

If your name appears among these jokes.

Don't lay the blame on me.
If it wasn't for you and the other bird,

A joke cohunn there nevei" would be.

A PUZZLE!!:''

Where can a man huy a ca]) for his knee,

Or a key to the lock of iiis hair?
Can his eyes be called Academies

Because there arc ])Uj)ils there?

In the crown of his head wjiat jewels are found?

Who travels the bridge of his noseP
Can he use, in shingling the roof of his mouth.

The nails on the ends of his toes?

Can the crook of his arm be sent to jail?

If so, what would he do?
How does he sharjien his shoulder blades?

I'll be liaiiged if I know, do you?

Can he sit in the shade of the palm of iiis hand,

Or beat on the drum of his ear?
Does the calf of his leg eat the corn off his toes?

If so, why not grow corn on the car? ! !

down in it, lier head leaned back so that she is looking up into the face of the
man wiio is bending so attentixely over her.

Now he reaches his arm around. Her head is ])ressed against his heart.
Speech at this time would be impossible.

Listen. We iiear her struggled whisj)er: "Oil, dear, you hurt!" In a low
earnest voice lie says: "Well, I simply can't help hurting you a little bit. You

don't mind that, do vou.'"'

Again we iiear only silence. They seem jjerfectlv content. It is not long,
however, that they remain in this position. He does not seem content with
wliat lie can see of her face. Her eyes are violet gray. He bends farther over
so that lie can see into well see into iier moutii. Because of coui'se, it is
