CHANCE (") 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, (7) TIEE A 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 tile sciences, appointed him Master at a salary of i-2()l) and the use of the buildings and garden, for uhit-h tiu' said Master shouhi give liis whoh' tinu', shall teach tile Latin.

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, faiu Technicffl Henry has always been very popular among: the boys, as shown at the end of this little discussion.

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." Kenneth R. Fourchei-, '21.

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. (45) AEC m Commissioned Officers Major E.

Wall^=^ 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. (60) T AM Seated: H. M. NORTH, JR., President Standing, left to rifrht: .ini C. SHERMAN, Vice-President : E. M. BAKER, Treasurer; GUY H. MERRY, Secretarq. 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. ((ii) L T 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.

The next meeting was called November 1.5th, and was for the ])ur[)ose of deciding whether the class would or woukl not publish an annual. It was una- nimously decided that an annual be published and the following men were elected by the class as a Publication Staff: Editor-in-Chief, H. M. North; Assistant Editor-in-Chief. Jim C.

Altho nuicli wrangling ensued, nothing de- 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, C. E. Heath, W. K. Phil])ot and H. ^\. North, was appointed by President Sherman to look after the matter. It tliis meeting it was also decided that we .should have Class Day exercises. May 10th was set aside for this |)ur- pose, and the President appointed the following Class Day officers : Historian, W. L. Fulghum; Poet, J. .Marion Adams; Prophet, H. F. :\Iiller; Orator, C. R. Youngblood; Last Will and Testament. E. M. Baker; Minutes, H. M. Cleckley. This brings us up to the jiresent, and with thirty-two on roll, all jjraying for diplomas, we hopefully face the future. (64) T Last Will and Testament 111/ ElGENE M. BaKKR I'Dunty of Hichinoncl, State of Georgia: In the name of God Amen. The Last Will and Testament of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-one. We, the Senior Class of the Academy of Richmond County, in the aforesaid County and State, being of absolutely sane mind and memory, and realizing, as we do, that our days at this glorious institution are speedily coming to a close, that our mental anguishes and ]ihysical trials will soon lie changed to pleasant memories of the past, do hereby declare the following to be our last will and testament. In looking over the many names in our scliool, searching diligently for men capable of undertaking an office of great magnitude and responsibility, we have, after considerable pains, chosen as executors of this will, two men that seem to us the least susceptilile to crookery, the Hon. C. G. Cordle, and J. B. Lockhart, Esq. Item 1. We hereby bequeath to our beloved principal, Major Phineas Butler, one copy of "The Effects of Working Until Four A. M.," by Walter CJordon Fargo, B.S.

To Olin Conway Skinner, we leave one case of Mellen's Food, with an unbreak- able baby bottle, to insure bis good health. Item .3. To "Empty" Bryson, we hereby give one volume on General Farming, by Herman Markert. Item 4. To Jimmie I,. Skinner, we give a lirand new porcelain lined cuspidor to be placed in his classroom. In addition to this, we feel that all the corners in his room should be whitewashed to insure the use of the said article. Item .5. To Robert Hall CROOK, we leave a new SURNAME tliat will relieve him from all suspicion as to the remarkable disappearance of chalk from the premises of the Rich- mond Academy. Item (i. We hereby bequeath to Charlie Guy Cordle an automatic test paper grader, made so as to flunk 98'/f of all papers passed through it. Item 7.

With the due appreciation for bis untiring efforts as a basketball coach, we hereby set aside 37 cents to purchase for "Pop" Blanchard one tin basketball to be worn on his watch chain. Item 10. To "Gullible" Mitchell we leave a copv of "How to Manage Freshmen," bv Geo. P. Holland. Item 11. To "Shortie" McDonald the class leaves one new shirt to replace the one ruined by a falling bucket of water in the dormitory, said shirt to be of sky blue variety with white buttons, such as those recently purchased for the U. S. mail carriers, and for the cadets of the A. R. C. Item 12. To "Big Nick," the noted politician, we bequeath a large sized knife, fork, and pusher, to be u.sed at the "Hi-Y" suppers, with special instructions to Mr. Bryson to see that he does not overeat. Item 13. The class takes great pride in leaving to Mr. Bill Kennedy a text on "An Economical and Businesslike Way of Sweeping," by our faithful janitor. Prince Albert. Item 14.

Danforth, .Jr., we leave Mr. Kennedy's "Modern Flyer" bicycle, 1794 model. Item 17. To hard-boiled "Icabod" Kane we leave one copy of the latest edition of "Covering a Three Year Sjianish Course in Two Weeks," by O. O. McGahee. Item 18. To our poor mistreated Professor, Mr. Chester Antonious Scruggs, we be- queath a barrel of soothing .syrup to quiet bis strained and overworked nerves. 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 Moe, 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, (68) 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. (7t) THIE A 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 (75) T H 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) T 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." (78) TEE A 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.

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, -^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.

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.

Basket Ball BiJ CoKXEI.irS El.I.lOlT HUATH 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.

They ran away with every first place in the meet; Jennings in the four-forty completely ran away from the fickl. Cleckley was again jthe individual king of the course, entering 6 events and ran away with each, tieing his team-mate in one.

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 KEESK, SH()inST()I>. 19lil. (U):i) THIS A OWENS, A., OLTFlF.I.nKK. U)21. 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- (104) 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. (111.';) m THE A If (With A])o"o
