Our book is for tlie entire scliool, botli faculty and tlie Cadet Cor}), from the most undignified of Freshmen to the stateliest of Seniors. In future years when we are no longer young, when memories of "Time Class" and "Bull-Ring" have faded and these old walls are gone, we shall have only this Book to remind us of our school-days. If, in turning these pages, a class-mate should thrill at the memories awakened, then we shall be rewarded for our efforts and our Book will be inunortal.

You are the inspiration of our every effort it is the desire to he worthy of you and your ideals that drives us on and witii you we share our successes. Your presence on the side-lines and the knowl- edge that you are for us, heart and soul, have swept us on to many a victory on the gridiron. Every memory of our school days will be sweeter because of their asso- ciations with you. For it is in the Halls of Old Tubman that our Cadets are rewarded by promotion, there that the Orators, tlie Declainiers and the Debators receive their cups, and there that the Honor man reaps the reward of his labors. Finally, it is from your Auditorium, sponsored by you, tiiat our Seniors leave the slielter of the Academy and begin tlie voyage of Life. But for this, above all, do we revere you. ^Vhen, in the midst of the greatest fight of our history, we calleil ui)on you for aid, you did not fail us. You toiled at the polls you paraded with us and you fought beside us until our battle was won. In the course of a few years we will be your neighbors. May Old Tubman and Old Richmond then be still closer in spirit than ever before. By Wm. D. Harden. TUBMAN '^ John Hoo^ Greater Richmond Academy N November 1, 1924 a bond issue was voted on and passed by tlie people of Richmond county. Tiiis issue appropriated .$;30(),000.00, to which amount the Trustees of the Academy added $100,000.00, for the erection of a new and greater Richmond Academy. After the bond issue was ])assed the next tiling to do was to tiecure a suitable and centrally located site on which to build. Several loca- tions were considered and finally the property on Baker Avenue, belonging to the city, and consisting of 28 acres of ground, was donated to the Academy, Together with $12,000.00 for drainage purposes. To this tract was added many ])rivate lots that wei'e bought by tiie Academy in order to have plenty of space. Tiiis site lias many advantages, although it is considered low and damp by some people. This objection can be easily eliminated by the proper dain- ing and filling. This tract is large enough to allow room for expansion in later years and to ]jrovide ample ])arking space for the numerous automobiles that now nearly block the street. It will give us a drill field that will be three times the size of Academy Park as comj)arcd with the one we have now which is only one third the size. It will also enable us to have our atheletic field on the cam|)us, thus giving our athletic teams ])lenty of room and privacy for j)ractice. All this, together with its central location, make it the best site in the city. After the site was obtained there was a connnittee appointed to select the architects and to oversee tiie construction in general. On this connnittee Messrs. Wni. Martin, J. G. fielding, and Grover Maxwell were appointed from the Board of Education ; Mes.srs. Tom Barrett, Bryan Gumming and E. C. B. Danforth were a])])ointed from the Trustees of the old Academy; Messrs. J. Roy Coo})er, C\ fi. Holley, and J. M. Hull, Jr., were appointed as })rivate citizens to represent the public. This committee together with Mr. Lawton B. Evans and Major George P. Butler selected Scroggs )k Ewing as the architects, who began the drawing of the plans innnediately, and who hope to begin the construction work by July 1, 192.5. The new Academy is to have three large, modern equipped school build- ings that will acconnnodate between 800 and 1000 students. These buildings will be the main academic building; the technical building, where tlie forge, wood shops, and drawing rooms will be located ; and the auditorium and gym- nasium which will be combined in one building. It is also hoped that it will be possible to have a large stadium that will complete one of the best prepara- tory schools in the south, and of which Augusta may well be ])roud. H. R.

The work we've done is not in vain, AVe'll find use for it afjaiii In years to come, in different climes, In various ways at various times. We've at last reached the parting of the ways, And eacli and every one has his gaze Set upon some high and lofty goal That he w-ill reach before he's old. Sorry to leave old Richmond 'tis true.

Lamar Literary Society OTHIXG in a modern education is more vital than the development of one's ability to speak clearly and intelligently before an audience. J'rogressive men everywliere must now be capable of accurately and effectively expressing their thoughts. Tiiis art can be developed only by constant practice in public speaking, for which there is little time in a regular course of study; iicnce the organization of our two literary socie- ties. Imnieiliately after the mid-year examinations the Joseph R. Lamar Society was organized with only a few charter members. By-Laws were adopt- ed at an early meeting and officers were elected. Meanwhile new members have been joining at evei'v meeting and the meml)ershi[) is growing constantlv. Kvery Monday afternoon the society meets for an hour in one of the classrooms. On tiie days set aside for inter-society debates the meetings are held in the room of the challenging society. Tiie rules of parliamentary pro- cedure are followed as far as possible in the meeting. Mr. Trannnell and ]\Ir. Ragsdale, who had experience in college literary societies, supervise the meetings and \\c\\> greatly with their suggestions to the Society. Already several jiromising debaters and declaimers have been discovered. From these will be selected the best declaimer and best debater, who will compete with representatives of the Stephens Society for the cups that are given an- nually to the best debater and the best declaimer in school. This contest will be held during connncncement week, a public debate on a subject of interest to the general jiublic. It is felt that the literary societies will serve a great purpose ; it is hoped that their success will continue, that they will soon become a most im- portant part of the school. By the time the new Academy is completed the two literary societies will be tlourisiiing organizations, and we ho{)e that their fame will extend as far as tliat of our Alma ^Slater. We liope next year to prove ourselves worthy of special halls in the new building, one for each society, which will be used exclusively by the literary societies, and only for literary purposes.

Stephens Literary Society EVERAL years ago two literary societies were organized, largely through the efforts and interest of the late Mr. J. W. Farmer, then an instructor at the Academy, with the pur])ose in mind of creating an interest in debating and public s])eaking. Literary work, for some reason, was discontinued last year l)ut this winter the faculty realized as never before the crying need in the world of men who can ex])ress their thoughts well ami who can think on their feet. Knowing this the two literary societies, the Alexander H. Ste])hens and the Jose|)h R. Lamar, were organized early in the second term. Under the able supervision of Mr. Smith and 1\L\ Hardy tlie Alexander H. Stephens Society was organized. A constitution was drawn up, officers were elected and the Society was soon going well. To date a number of excellent programs have been presented and we have had several very good debates and declamations. Mr. Smith and Mr. Hardy very kindly agreed to act as critics, and thanks to their aid the debaters and declaimers are rapidly improving. There has been one inter-society debate, the subject being "Re- solved : that the President of the United States should be elected for seven years and should not be eligible for re-election". This society elected to defend the negative and after a hard fought, spirited debate the judges decided that the Stephens debaters had won by a small margin. It wasf decided to have another inter-society debate in connection with the Commencement exercises to pick the champion debater for the year, and at the same time have the best declaimer from each society compete for the loving cup for the champion dechiimer. Public speaking and debating is today becoming a definitely recognized ))art of school work all over America. Prominent educators everywhere are beginning to realize the ini])ortance of this branch of school work, and to eni])hasize it more strongly. The reason for this is at once apparent. Modern business life demands that a man be able to express his thoughts clearly, and forcefully. To do this he must be able to think rapidly on his feet and to speak with(jut embarrassment. It is the purjxjse of the Alexander H. Ste})hens Literarv Society to train the students in this important part of business life, and at the same time afford a means of amusement. C. B. Haxson The Redemption of "Black Mike'^ T was a beautiful day. A few fleecy, white clouds hung suspended in the clearest of blue skies, a blue so intense that it colored the waters of Port Royal Sound, making a pleasant contrast with the semi-tropical, summer foilage of the pahnetto-studded Barrier Islands. A fresh breeze was springing up, sending the white-caps scurrying after each other in endless rows. Far out, ploughing her way through the gentle ground-swells, came the latest addition to "Black Mike's" rum-running fleet, the auxiliary schooner "Laura". With her dainty spars and rigging, her keen rakish hull dashing the water into spray as she rose and fell with the waves, she presented a beautiful picture. Her cargo of wooden cases, overflowing her hold, was piled on her deck and covered with tarpaulins. On tlie forward deck, Isaac Coaxum, the "bosun" and "Wardmalaw" Charlie, the cook, were engaged in relating endless marvels to the good natured Gullah crew, clustered about tlie fore-mast. Aft, at the wheel, stood the mate, a big gorilla-like negro, clad in ragged pants and undershirt, which revealed huge, rolling hunks of muscle. He wore one of "Black Mike's" discarded yacht- ing caps on tlie side of his head and at his hip he importantly carried his badge of authority, a large sheath knife. Under the awning that shaded the deck aft of the cabin, sat two white men, Stuart Gregorie and the notorious Captain "Black Mike" Ryan, earnestly engaged in conversation. "I tell you. Captain Ryan," the younger man little more than a boy was saying, "I'm sick and tired of the whole dirty business. It's rank, clear through. What I saw out there in the Bahamas sickened me. If we ever get this cargo safely in, I'm hanged if I won't starve before I'll load another case of the filthy stuff on my mother's boat." "Aisy, aisy there, lad," remonstrated Black Mike, "it's not so bad as all that. Besoides, ut pays ye well. Ut's foive thousan' dollars Oi'm givin' ye for this run, mor'n ye'd get in four years a haulin' potatees an' thruck to Savannah. An' ut's 'filthy stuff' ye're callin' me licker ! Filthy, indade ! Ut's the hist Jamaica rum iver run from the Bahamas. Ye're not gettin' scared, are ye.'"' "No, it's not that," Stuart replied, "at least, not in the way you mean. I told you, that when Dad's ship went down, during the war, he left the "Laura" to mother. It's the only thing she's got in tiie world. As soon as I was old enough, she put me in charge of the boat and I've been running her all around tliese Islands as far north as Topsail Inlet, but, as we couldn't get enough cargoes to pay expenses, we were in an awful fix until you came along. Mother trusts me absolutely and it would break her heart to know that I was smuggling whiskey. I had to lie to her to keep her from knowing where the money came from; told her I had chartered the "Laura" to a millionaire for a cruise to the Bahamas." "Brace up, me boy, there's niver a chance av us gettin' caught. Haven't Oi tould ye that "Four-fort y-sivin" wint up the coast to Wilmington, an' aint due back here till day afthcr tomorrer.'"' broke in Black Mike, referring to the Navy's crack, new destroyer "Cushing", which was patrolling the Carolina coast in search of rum-runners. "Oi know how ye feel about Mis' Fanny an' Oi rispict ye for ut," he continued awkwardly, "But we're nearly in now, an' the foivc thousan' dollars Oi'm payin' ye will fix Mis' Fanny for a couple o' years, an' " "I>ook hyah, Cap'n Mike," called out tlie mate, who had been watching the horizon for signs of the dreaded destroyer, "ent dat smoke Ah see come up 'round' on tuddcr side uh Huntin' Islan' Light.'"' The two white men sprang uj) and looked anxiously up the coast to where the negro pointed. A column of smoke, black and threatening, was rising from behind Hunting Lsland, about eight miles north of the Sound. Black Mike studied the phenomenon for some moments with a professional eye. "Tis nothin' to be skittish about," he decided. "Tis the 'City av Mimphis', Oi'm thinkin', she that's due from New York today. That's smoke from soft coal, same as thim stingy 'Ocean Steamship Liners' always uses." he explained, turning to Stuart. The mate evidently did not agree with his captain, for he stood mumbling and shaking his head. "Thank the Lord it isn't the "Cushing", Stuart exclaimed, "for if it were. Captain George Randall would run us down if it took him until the New Year !" "Yis", agreed Mike, "a foine orf'cer he is, an' a gintleniin, but a rilintless man whin 'roused. As Oi was savin", lad, don't ye get worried. We've lift the twilve moile limit beliin'." Seeing that Stuart still looked anxious and uncon- vinced, he resumed, "Don't think so hard of me, Stuart, me boy, Oi wud niver have had to call on ye, but that blackguyard Rivinue Cutter from Savannah caught me ither schooner last month. Ye see," he explained, "whin ye run licker, ye must have two vessels runnin' at the same toime, so'f one av thim gets caught, the ither'U make ixpinses. Jist loike us an' me three-master, the "Ade- laide" is comin' in now." "See here. Captain Ryan," broke in Stuart, "if the 'Adelaide' is bring- ing two hundred thousand dollars worth of Scotch, why in the world, didn't you bring her in yourself, instead of coming with me.'"' Before Black Mike could answer, the Gullah mate, who had failed to be convinced by his captain's reassurances, suddenly sang out. "Fo' de Lawd, Cap'n Mike, dat ent no Sawannuh boat ! Dat's ole 'Fo'- Fawty-Seben' ! Ah saw 'im time he tu'n de pint look out Mas' Stuart hyah he cum !" Both men turned quickly and looked up the coast. There, only about six miles away, was the "Gushing", clear of the point and swinging out towards them. Black Mike, springing to his feet, tore aft to the wheel, ripping out a string of commands as he went. The negro crew, ran about aimlessly, like terrified children, all except Ike Coaxuni, who dived through the engine-room hatch at the risk of his neck. Black Mike, thrusting the mate aside, fairly spun the wheel around, heading for the open sea. "Ike Coaxum, ye black divil," he roared, "speed up thim ingines, or Oi'll wring ye'r worthless neck !" Ike worked valliantly on the twin Diesels, coaxing them to their utmost power. The deck trembled violently from the great vibrations, as the propellers beat the water furiously. When this maneuver had been completed, all hands lined the rail and every eye was turned to tiie"Cushing". The destroyer sighted the "Laura" just in time to see her come about. Turning swiftly, she gave chase, a bone in her teeth and black smoke pouring from her squatty funnels. On board the "Laura", Ike Coaxum, stripped to the waist, pleaded with his engines as if they were human. At the wheel. Black Mike, now that the surprise was over, had regained his serenity. "Begorra, Stuart, me bhoy," he yelled, "if Oi can bate ould Cap'n George to the twilve mile limit, Oi'll invite the ould spalpane aboard, an' we'll talk over ould toimes togither. But, Howly St. Pathrick ! Jist look how she's comin'." The destroyer, now fairly leaping through the water at over thirty knots, turned her bow father out to sea in order to intercept the flying rum-runner down the hypotenuse of a right angle. This piece of strategy practically pre- cluded all chance of escape, as the "Gushing" was making three miles to the "Laura's" one. In despair. Black Mike ordered his crew to break out the sails and to pile on every stitch of canvas the rigging would carry foresail, mainsails, topsails, two jibs and even a spinnaker. Despite the aid of these, the distance between the two vessels rapidly lessened, until the destroyer was only about a mile away. Then, as she sounded a long blast from her siren, the signal to heave to for inspection appeared on her halliards. Black Mike, seeing that further effort was useless, started to give the command to bring the "Laura" about, when Stuart Gregorie seized his arm. "Don't give up yet. Captain Ryan," he pleaded, "Keep her going, for the love of all's that holy ! We must be nearly twelve miles out by now and Captain Randall can't get any closer on account of that shoal water that runs between us and the North Channel that he's in." Black Mike shook his head sadly. "Oi'll thry ut for ye'r mither's sake, lad, but tis no manner av use. We're fairly caught. Look, lad, they be mannin' the starboard gun!" There, on the forecastle, beside the conning-tower, the gun-crew were bringing the quick-firing Hotchkiss rifle to bear on the little schooner. A second later came the flash and roar as the three inch shell went screaming across the "Laura's bow. Stuart turned to Black Mike with tears in his eyes. "You may heave to. Captain Ryan," he said simply. Black Mike said nothing at all ; nierel v nodding to the mate, who gave the order to shut off the engines, he hrought the scliooner into tiie wind. In the resulting silence, Stuart Gregorie stared moodily over the rail; his thoughts were bitter as he watched a launch put out from the "Cushing". The GuUah mate was having considerable difficulty in reassuring the crew, wiio were unani- mous in the desire to take to the water before No. 447 could fire again. "What Ah gwine do wid dese niggulis, suh?" he inquired anxiously of Black Mike. "Dey wants tuh jump ovuii boa'd, kase dey's skeered uh Cap'n Jawge." "Do.'"' exploded Black Mike, "Don't ye see uts gintlemin as is comin' aboard.'' Let thim man the rail as side bhoys, loike they used to do whin Oi was a chief quartermasther on the 'Georgia'. Stuart, man, Oi'm ashamed av ye, sittin' there in ye'r undershirt, whin visitors are a comin' aboard, an'ye a gintlemin, too. Mis' Fanny raised ye bettlier thin that." This reference was unfortunate, for Stuart, almost smiling a nioment before at the man's "gintle- min" worship, was plunged back in tlie depths of despair. Mechanically he put on the jum])er and caji that Black Mike handed him. "Better let me do the talking," suggested the boy, "Captain Randall doesn't love you too well now, and he was a shipmate of my father's, so I may be able to persuade him to take us in to a Northern Port my mother will think I was lost at sea." "Oi'll do notliin' av the koind." retorted Black ]\Iike, "Oi'm in command av this vessel an' tis not ivery day that foine gintlemin loike Captain Randall comes aboard me ship." Wiiile tiiis by-play was in progress the launch had run under the "Laura's" quarter, wiiere she was made fast. Ike Coaxum, abandoning his duties of engineer for those of "bosun", lowered the accommodation ladder, while the mate marslialed the bewildered crew along the rail. A giant seaman sprang on board, stood at attention and saluted. Commander Randall majes- tically ascended to tlie deck, followed by Lieutenant Sinmions, his second in command. He glanced at the piled cases with an air of triumph. Black Mike advanced on the officers with a broad smile on his battered, hairy face, as he halted before Commander Randall, liis right hand involuntarily moved to his cap brim in salute, but grinning foolisliiy, he iiastily ciianged and extended his hantl in greeting. "The top av the mornin' to ye, sir," he began, "Shure, an' it's loike ould toimes to see ye again, Cap'n George !" "]\Iike Ryan,'' interrupted the officer coldly, "in the name of tiie United States' Government, I arrest you on charge of " he stopped, dund'ounded, as his gaze fell on Stuart, who stared dejectedly at him. "Stuart Gregorie !" he gasped. "Ye.s, it is I, Captain Randall". "Stuart Gregorie," he demanded sternly, "what in the devil do you mean by shipping on a rum-runner.'' I thougiit you were up the coast in your mother's schooner." Stuart glanced at the deck in hestitation, wondering how he could begin. Finally, he looked frankly into the clear, rather kindly gray eyes of his father's friend. "I've done a pretty rotten thing, Caj)tain Randall, but I'll tell you all about it and then, maybe you can see my point of view," he began slowly. Then, gaining confidence, he told how he had failed at trading; how, desperate for money, he had charteded the "Laura" to Black Mike for five thousand dollars, which he had turned over to his mother, and, finally, how hapjjy she was, being entirely deceived by his lies. "Captain Randall," he concluded," I am not telling you this to try to get out of anything. I am quite willing to take my punishment like a man. It is for mother I fear I doubt if she will ever get over the disgrace." Commander Randall gazed at the boy for some moments without reply- ing. When, at last, he spoke, his voice was kindlier. "I can understand why you did this thing, Stuart, but it was a terrible mistake. Of course I will have to do my duty, regardless of my personal feelings. It is the most disagreeable task I have ever had to arrest the son of my best friend and to confiscate his widow's ship. But, what else can I do," he continued, as if to himself, "here you are, with a cargo of liquor within the twelve mile limit " "We're nothin' av the sort," declared Black Mike, heatedly breaking into the conversation, "we're near out to the Lightship an' she's ivery bit av twinty moiles out." "Oh, shut up !" cried Stuart wearily, his nerves at the breaking point, "What's the use of all this quibbling.' As long as we're caught, lets go in and get it over with." At Black Mike's first remark, Commander Randall, stepping over to Lieutenant Simmons, held a whispered consulation with him. At the conclu- sion of this little colloquy, he assumed a stern air and turned to Black Mike. "Mike Ryan, you impudent rascal, the grace of the Lord is with you. Lieu- tenant Simmons, here, my navigator, believes that the limit is about two miles astern. Am I right, Simmons.'"' "At least two, sir, for the IJght-ship is twenty one miles out and we are about six miles from her," remarked Lieutenant Simmons. "There is considerable doubt as to our exact position". Commander Randall resumed, turning to Stuart, "and thus I cannot swear that you are within the twelve mile limit. Therefore, my boy, for the sake of Mrs. Gregorie and of old Warren, I am going to let you go on the condition that _vou give me your word of honor not to land any liquor, and will promise me that you will never again do anything that would bring misery to your mother and dis- grace to your father's name." "I solomnly swear it. Captain Randall," the boy said earnestly, "I I cannot think why I didn't see what a risk I was running I'll never forget this lesson, never. Oh, you WILL believe me, won't you.'" "Of course I will, my boy ; you are your father's son, after all," Com- mander Randall said, "But, of course that has not influenced my decision in the least," he added quickly, as if he feared that he was losing his dignity bv reveal- ing such sentiments. Secretly lie hoped that some opportunity might present itself whereby he could escape gracefully. As if in answer to liis prayer. Black Alike, who now that things had turned out so well, suddenly remembered liis duties as host, made a sweeping bow to tlie two officers and invited tliem to repair to the cabin there to drink a toast to the "foinest gintlemin iver aboard me ship". Commander Randall at once seized this chance. "Ryan, vou scoundrel, what do you mean by that impertinence, sir.''" lie cried, threateningly raising his hand, "Take warning. If ever I catcli you again, on my word of honor as an officer, I'll swing you to tile yard-arm!" Having thus ac(juitted himself of any unusual softness, he stalked to the accommodation ladder, descended to the launch and gave the order to proceed to the "Cushing". Silence reigned aboard tiie "Laura". Tiie crew was still too terrified to do anything but stare at the retreating launch. As for Stuart and Black Mike, there was notiiing they could do. The destroyer, picking up tiie launcli, turned her bow back to the north and soon disappeared below the horizon. Finally, Black Mike roused liimself, sighing, "Ah, ut's a foine orf'cer he is," he remarked reminisccntly, "An' didn't he carry on illigint ! An' now ut's mesilf that's tiiinking we iiad betther be niovin', or we'll niver make Port Royal this noight. Ike," he called in a louder tone, "kick tliim ingines over !" then to the mate, "Head her for that range mark on the ind av Parris Island ! An' lively, now, ye grinnin' limb av Satan, or " "Hold on, Captain Ryan," cried Stuart, galvanized into action by these orders. "You can't make Port Royal, yet ! You iieard what I told Commander Randall. I'll keep that promise, if I die for it ! You liave eitiier got to throw that lifjuor overboard, or take it back to tlie Baliamas. If you decide to throw it overboard, of course I'll return tiie five tliousand dollars vou paid to charter the 'Laura'." "Whist, me biioy, come iiere an' let me till ye a saycret," beckoned Black Mike, with a mysterious air, "Tiiere's no liker aboard this boat," Tlien, seeing the look of incredulity in Stuart's eyes, he seized a hatciiet and broke open one of the cases piled on the deck, revealing to the astounded boy, orderly rows of canned fruit. "Me lad," continued Black Mike," chuckling, "Oi only hired ye'r boat, hopin' to lead ould Cap'n George oft' av his course, whilst the "Adelaide", with her pricious cargo, snaked into tlie siiilter av Calabouge Sound. Oi'd niver use me friends in a dirty tiirick. Tis 'Black Moike' Oi'm called, lad, but, Oi'm niver so black as Oi'm painted. An' now, me biioy," lie went on rather diffidently, "what do ye say to us formin' a comp'ny, Ryan an' Gregorie, an' loadin' the 'Adelaide' an' the 'Laura' wid ceniint, buikler's supplies an' sucii loike, for all thim divilopmints Oi'm hearin' so much about in Florida? There's plinty av fruit an' tliruck to bring back, an' we cud do foine. Not so much money as Oi'm inakin' now, but nayther wud there be any risk. An' thin " Black Mike paused and his eyes turned to the north, up the coast, wiiere a faint trail of smoke mingled with the blue haze, "an' tiiin, someday, Oi cud siiake tlie hand av a rale gintlemin." William De.xrixg Harden, '25 Senior Class Poem We've been liere for many years, It seems as many ages ; Now our friends may cease their fears, We graduate as sages. AVe entered five long years ago Part of the motley crew. But now, as we prepare to go. We're just a learned few. In the future years, you may be sure, Our work will be repaid ; We know that in the future Fruits the effort of today. Let's bring credit to old Richmond, To the great professors there, As we take our places in the world. No matter what nor where. Five-score and fifty years ago This grand old school was founded ; Greater still we see her grow With energy unbounded. What will our Alma Mater mean To those that are to come, When traditions of a century Are in a modern Home.' Oh, let us hope that we will keep, The members of our class, Her traditions and her memories With us until the last. As years and years roll on and on Into eternity. With pleasure let us think upon These years at A. R. C. E. Emigh, '25 ' 'Nevermore J 5 fe EY, Johnny, what's that on at school today?" "Oh, I don't know", I re])He(l, "the only thing I care about it is that we are getting- out of drill by it. I hear, tho, that it's gonna be the usual line of bull about the terrors and disgrace of cribbing, and cheating." So .saying, we, Bill and I, sauntered on to school, not giving a thought to the lecture which was destined to change our lives. As in a fog I filed down the aisle into the innnense auditorium, and took my seat mechanically with the rest of the bunch. Then, from this haze of in- difference, I was startled l)y the last part of the introduction by the ])rincipal " and so, I take great pleasure in introducing to you Mr. Charles Brown, former all-Southern full-back from this school, who is an expert on cheating". These words, drowned out by frenzied applause whicli followed, filled me with interest and astonishment. The reference to him as a former star football player from our .school piqued my curiosity, but above all that last clause, "an cx])ert on cheating", made me all interest. The sj)eaker, a clear-eyed, well set-up man of around !(), without further ado, launched into the body of his message "Mr. Principal, members of the Faculty, and, most important of all FELLOW STFDP^XTS, I realize that you liave heard the customary line of 'bull' (here I nudged Bill delightedly) about this business of cheating, and so I am not going to burden you with any sermon, but am simply going to tell you a true story, a story having this school as its .site, and a story having a boy very close to me as one of its main participants. "This boy, for the sake of the story let us call him John, was the cham- pion football player of our section. But John had one failing, and that was that he was unable to write English comi)ositions, and above all, English themes. "On the eve of the Thanksgiving game with those Arlington Heights fellows, our traditional enemy, our whole school was thrown into melancholia. The season had been rather successful, but it was all likely to be spoiled now, for if Arlington Heights beat us our whole season would be ruined. And, just the week before the game, old 'Four-Eyes' gave the whole class a theme to be brought in on the Saturday morning before Thanksgiving. True, the theme could be on any subject, but John, with his notorious inability to write English composition, was just about as good as put out of the game, for if he didn't get that theme in, he would be disqualified from playing. Knowing this, our whole school was cast into gloom, for John was the one man that could beat Arlington Heights. "All the fellows went ai-ound in a body, trying to persuade John to get some inspiration in his head, or else to accept some aid from some of the fellows skilled with their minds, rather than with their bodies. And finally, in leaving, Stereford, John's room-mate, and one of the kind that can rattle themes off by the dozen, left him a neatly typed theme, perfect, and certain to be approved if Imnded in. Tliere it wtis ; all he had to ilo to gain faculty permission to play was to sign his name at the bottom of that theme, and slip it thru old 'Four- Eye's' door slot. All he had to do ! ! To gain this game of all games for his school to finish his school career in a blaze of glory just sign his name and hand it in! But could he do it.'' Was it right for him thus to perjure himself by handing in this theme, even if it was all for the benefit of the school.'' Above all, did the ends justify the means.'' "Facing the crucial decision of his life, John in desperation seized the pencil and paper which his well meaning school mates had supplied him with, and began with savage intensity to set down the reasons why he should not cheat. Finally, after hours of torture, and j)acing the floor, throwing all his writings on the table, he rushed from his room, to wander, in his torn spirit, around the surrounding country-side, ashamed to meet the gaze of anyone. "Monday morning, at English, his first subject, old "Four Eyes" met him with a smiling gaze. 'Good work, John', said he, 'your theme was excellent, and well deserved the 'A' it got.' "In a confusion of spirit, he mumbled confused acknowledgements, wondering all the time what was meant by it. The only thing Joim had written had been those reasons why he should not cheat and he had not handed those in had that Stereford handed that theme in, regardless of his refusal to use it.? In the humiliation of spirit resultant from that thought, John fled, cast down in soul, to his room, there to await the coming of Stereford, and wrest from him explanations of his acts. "Soon Stereford returned, whistling as if everything in the world were ga}'. In response to John's bitter inquiry what he had meant by turning it in, he replied that he had only come in, after John had set down his reasons for not accepting the offer, and had but copied the reasons, word for word and handed it in. "The outcome.'' That was simple enough. Jbhn, encouraged and hearted in mind, soul, and body, entered that game Thursday afternoon deter- mined to conquer for the old school or die in the attempt. He didn't die, for with John as the shining star, our teatm swept right thru that Arlington Heights bunch, and went on to victory ! "Several of you may not recognize John as a familiar character. To those of 3'ou, I will just say that John was simply John Brown, afterwards Governor of Georgia, my brother. I was a class mate of his, and can serve as witness of the tremendous struggle which waged in his heart. "I will say no more, save this, that we all may not run across conditions exactly like those of John Brown, but temptation always comes, in one form or another, and I just wanted to urge you that "The ends do not justify the means". * * ^ * ^if ^ * Totally enthralled and interested as I was, it was with a start that I recalled myself to the present from my dreams. Gone were my loose ideas about this subject of cheating. Henceforth no longer would I be tempted to indulge in loose practices in fact, quoth I, like the Raven, "Nevermore". T. J. Hamilton Class Prophecy T was a balmy day in lato October tliat tlie tiling happened. I had gone hunting with Tom Haglor, I'eter I'und, and Stewart Phinizy Barrett, and we liad almost readied the river swamp. Just as we came down the last grade before coming on to the railroad tracks, while Barrett was busy telling us about his static eliminator, a loud whistle t-ounded around the curve. I'ossibly scared by the sound, the car jammed and came to a stop dead on tiie tracks just as the New York Special came around the bend. We tried to get out of the car, but Tom's hunting dogs and several guns were on top of us, and Pund was the only one who could move. Just as the cowcatcher on tlie locomotive got about ten feet from us, one of the dogs knocked a gun on my head and the whole world turned black, while people shouted and steam hissed "Hey! Look out tliere!" a gruff voice shouted and I instinctively jumped, landing s(]uarely upon the sidewalk. A strange looking motor vehicle shot by, its driver scrowling ferociously in my direction. On its back was the sign, "Slingem Six. Derrick Motor Company". I gazed around. Broad Street, certainly and yet, a different Broad Street. Skyscrapers everywliere, new, strange automobiles, theatres and many other things I did not remember. I walked down the street. After seeing for two blocks a line of beauti- ful girls, I found the head of the line at the Bijou theatre, owned by Foster Wall and starring none other than J. Raiford Watkins, himself in "The Covered Automobile." Overhead buzzed an aero})lane with "Hankinson for President" on the liottom of it. A little farther down, my way was blocked by an inniiense crowd. Gazing upward, I saw a human liy on the iiJTth story of the Howard building. His movements seemed familiar. Yes no yes, it was Ab Vcrdery. I passed on. A terrible sound smote me, the earth reeled, skyscrapers tottered, and "Bazemore's Boomerang Band" passed by in full speed. I dro])ped into Joe Mulieri's shoe shine stand and bought a Chronicle. It was dated June 16, 194'5. In big headlines were "Professor Barrett's Atomic Machine Wins $5,()()0,0()0 Marker Prize" and "Vaughan Wins Heavyweight Boxing Championship". On the next page was the advertisement of Moog's Red Hot Racket Sale. On the editorial page I saw that Thomas J. Hamilton was the editor of the paper and Bernard Simowitz was the cliief reporter. On seeing- an illustrat- ed eolunni, "Advice to the Lovelorn", I was not at all surprised to see John Hook's name at the bottom, knowing full well that he could easily cover any possible case with one drawn from his own vast experience. Joe got somebody to punch the cash register and came out to speak to me. He told me that Henry Dunaway was the most understanding warden they had ever had up at ]\Iilledgcville, that Clarence Hanson was governor of Georgia, and that Harry Sack's baker shop was the headquarters for all deep- sea divers, because three of "Sack's Soggy Sinkers" could easily sink even Burton Beard or Josh Skinner, who were the biggest of the divers. Hailing one of the Beasley taxicabs, I drove out to the A. R. C. Things had changed. Chavel had Mr. Kennedy's place. Bob Smith had Mr. Read's, "Red" Trowbridge's shouts came from the Mathematics Building where he taught slide rule. As I rounded the corner of the Science Building a terrific explosion occurred. Boys were thrown out of the upstairs windows, and arms, legs and heads hit the ground hither and yon. I dashed up to the Chemistry room and found Beryl Suavely calmly collecting several thousand dollars w'orth of ex- ploded chemistry apparatus. He said that he could have had a really credit- able explosion if several tons of sulphuric acid had not been stolen the night before by two burglars who were caught by the great detective. Bob Bostick, and identified as James Hanahan and Bill Harden. Seeing the trees outside shak- ing violently, I became alarmed, but Snavely assured me that it was only Ed Montgomery and "Dike" Smith, who were the pioneers in the birds'-nest soup business in Augusta, and could be seen at all hours in the tops of the tallest trees, searching for the choice blue-jay nests. Snavely told me that Mr. Scruggs, our former invincible chemistry in- structor, had become enormously wealthy on the graft on the rubber laboratory aprons, and had long since retired to a life of luxury in his palatial home in the center of May Park, Chlorine Chateau. I learned a lot about our class mates from Snavely. T. Chance was in Florida with his rum fleet. Willie Walker was head of a large manufacturing company and happily married to his boyhood sweetheart. Willie Heffernan's saxophone now wailed nightly in the brightest cabaret in New York City. John Holland had a cannery on the Colorado River and canned ten million tomatoes yearly. After several years in the Zeigfield Follies Sheik Emigh was Poet Laur- eate of St. George's Court. Bill Selecman was the fastest motorinaii of the Augusta-Aiken Railway Company. Augusta's most powerful radio station, RTHS, was owned by Johnny Evans, featuring Wylton Lucky and his famous Rhyme Machine, had Cliarlie Griffin as chief electrician and Lewis V. Storey as Nighthawk Announcer. I knew Lewis would make good at this job because of his penetrating voice and habit of eternal wakefulness. Suavely tried to tell me something about Max Henry, but laughter prevented him, and I was left to ponder over the fate of poor little Max. Leaving the school I went around to the Cabiness Chemical Company. "Burr" had gone to ride but Henry Fund was busily working on a Fountain of Youth formula given iiim by Major Butler. Pund, by the way, was one of the most fickle of men and had been married seven times. I heard shouts while passing by a big building and looking in saw "Rameses" Nixon directing a physical culture class. Laurence Dantzler picked me up in his new car and we went to ride out in the country. We were rolling along at ninety miles an hour when we heard a peculiar sound behind us, and looking back, saw State Patrolman, Tom Hagler just about to arrest us. Laurence speeded up and we came in sight of a train approaching a crossing. "We'll beat it", cried Laurence, but Claude Tessier was the engineer and I knew something was going to happen. We met at the crossing, I was thrown into the air and knew no more until I heard a voice saying "These two condensers are connected Hello" said Barrett, as I opened my eyes. Pund had thrown the train off the track and the party had been waiting on me. "You ain't nothing"', said Pund. "Let's go." W. D.

'i5 fcfl Military Department ROBABLY the most popular phase of our school life is the Military Department. Every 3'ear our Regiment takes part in several parades. For years the Academy boys have had a leading part in the Memorial Day parade. At the end of each year, there are two prize drills, which always draw large crowds. More and more the citizens of our city are becoming interested in the Academy cadets and their activities. The first military unit at Richmond, a single company, was organized and conducted by Captain J. 0. Clark in the eighties. Then the department was dropped for a few years until 1898, when it was again organized by Major Geo. P. Butler. Under his guidance the battalion became an outstanding feature of the institution. Major Butler found it necessary to resign as Com- mandant in order to devote his full time to his duties as Principal of the fast growing institution. During his twenty years as Commandant, he placed the department on a firm foundation for the more recent developments. Major E. C. B. Danforth, a World War hero, succeeded Major Butler in 1919. He introduced several new features into the drill, including extended order and battalion drill. Three years later Colonel Chas. B. AVhitney took charge and continued the improvements begun by Major Danforth. Due to the large increase in the number of students. Col. Whitney found it necessary to re-organize the department, forming a Regiment, which is the present form of the unit. Colonel AVhitney was called unexpectedly into business at the end of his second year. The school was indeed fortunate in getting Colonel John T. Hains, an officer during the recent war, to take charge of the Regiment. Under his efficient leadership the Regiment is continually improving. Several additions have been made to the drill and are proving their value daily in the increased efficiency of the drilling. A course in Military Science and Tactics, which was introduced at the beginning of the year, has proved a great help to the officers. The regulation R. 0. T. C. text is used in this course. It is taught by Colonel Hains, who had practical experience in military during the war. All commissioned officers are required to take this course, other cadets being permitted to take it if they so desire. Upon entering college those who have made credible grades on the tests and final examinations will be recommended for the credits and privileges due a graduate of a Junior R. O. T. C. A Military Council was organized after the mid-year examinations. The Commandant, the two Majors, the Captain-Adjutant, the Captain of the Band and the eight Captains of the companies compose the membership. The purposes of the Council are: to consult with the Cominamlaiit in matters per- taining to the Military Dejjartnient, such as promotions, demotions, and any other changes found necessary; to help as much as possible in the development of our school spirit and in gaining student support for school activities ; to increase co-o])eration and friendship among the officers ; and to put on various kinds of })arties, ])icnics and dances for the entertainment of the members and their Sponsors. It is ex])ected that this body, com])osed as it is of the leaders of the student body, can exert a great deal of infiu^nce and will be a big help to the school. During the year several platoon })rize-drills have been held. These competitive drills tend to create, between the })latoons, a rivalry that calls forth a maxinunn of ettort from the cadets. All of the companies have made excellent showings. It has been a difficult task to decide on the winners, each Captain having tried to make his company the best. While only one can be the best, it is certain that all have done well this year, better than ever before. According to the results of the last contest, B Comjjany is leading the whole Regiment and G Company, com- manded by Captain Beasley, is leading the Second Battalion. Captain Bob Bostick of B Company has handled his company in a most commendable manner throughout the year. In all conij)ctition held so far this year his platoons have been outstanding. At all times he has taken a keen in- terest in military, and he has succeeded in creating the same interest among the cadets under him. Lieutenant Josh Skinner, of the second platoon of B Company, has had the champion platoon of the Regiment in all competition held so far this year. He took a bunch of little fellows, mostly freshmen, and develojjed a platoon that has not been e((ualled up to this time. This platoon has not only excelled among the second j)latoons, but has easily out-pointed the best of the first platoons. At the end of each year arc held two big prize-drills ; one to determine the best drilled com])any, the other to determine the best drilled individual. Ijast year the company prize-drill was won by B Company, connnanded by Ca))tain Macl'herson \Villiams, and the individual drill was won by Sergeant AVilliam Harden, who is now the Captain of A Company. These drills are the final test of supremacy and are looked forward to as the two real big days of the year. While the Military Department is doing fine work at j^rescnt, it would be more beneficial if it should be recognized by the government as a Junior R. O. T. C. Ever}' possible effort has been made to have a good Military Depart- ment at the Academy ; however, it has been imjjossible to accomplish as nmch as could be done with good e(iuipment and with a corps of trained army men as instructoi's. It is hoped that it will be possible to have an R. O. T. C. by the time the new school is completed. Eugene D. Emigh, Jr. Our Band and Its Director For several years the Academy band has held a place of prominence in the countless parades and inumerable other public activities of our fair city. The people have always looked forward to the passing of the Academy cadets, especially of the band. But they did not know that the success of the band was due almost entirely to the efforts of the cadets that composed it. Until last year, the band did not have a professional instructor. To Mr. J. Louis Sayre goes the credit for the present splendid organi- zation, one of which the town can well be proud. Most of the members of last year's band returned to school this year. With these men, who had already benefited by one year of Mr. Sayre's instruction, and some new talent, the band has produced splendid music this year. We sincerely hope that the bands of future years will equal that of '2.5. Mr. Sayre composed an "Academy March", a touching and beautiful piece of music, the words of which are to be written by the students themselves. A contest will be held each year in which the best stanza submitted will be selected and added to the song. This song is expected to play an important part in the future activities of the school. Mr. Sayre is due no end of credit for the progress the band has made under his supervision. We could ask for nothing better. Everybody will come to appreciate the personal interest he has shown at all times ; we are especially pleased with his "Academy March". Eugene D. Emigh, Jr. The Grand Rush Button up vour coats, gut yourselves all steady. To nervously wait for the captain to give ready Ready for the rusii, the rush tiiat spells success or failure. If failure, oh wliat it means to the hungry assailer Of the luncii stand, crowded by a pack, each one a howling boy, AVlio needs a chocolate milk and currant roll to light his face with joy.

Captaik Ppnd 1924 Football EPTEMBER'S first few days found about 45 bovs out for football practice. Six letter men had returned ; Gilhnan, Powell, Wall, Thomas, Hudson and Caj)tain Fund. Around these, Coach Carson proceeded to build a team. September 27th found Statesboro A. and M. interlocked with the Purple and Gold. Out of a field of nmd, Richmond emerged with 1-1 points to Statesboro's 0. Fumbles by Richmond kept down their score. The second week's game was with Batesburg-Leesville High. This Carolina team found Richmond l.'i points better tlian themselves, for the final whistle showed tiie score thus: Ricinnond V.i\ Batesburg-Leesville 0. The next victim was Carlyle. In this game Richmond showed the great- est fighting sj)irit of the season. Carlyle started off with a rush, but the end of the half found tlieir attack crushed and our own started, with Richmond on Carlyle's tiiree yard line with first down. In the second half, led by fullback Gillman, Richmond ran uj) tiiirteen points to Carlyle's 0. Gillman's playing featured, scoring both touchdowns and accounting for one ])oint after touch- down. Now began the period of desj)ondency. From this time until the River- side game, Richmond never showed even half the same spirit it had shown in the Carlyle game. One reason was that Captain Pund became sick and was not able to })lay again except a few minutes in the next to last game. For the second time in two years Richmond had lost its Captain, considered by the Coacii to be one thirtl of the strength of the line, each time being in the early part of the season. Columbia High was our next oj)ponent. Showing an aerial attack that would have done credit to a college, ])lus a j)lunging and end running attack by Beall, Columbia scored 2-t points to the bewildered Richmond's 0. The next week we travelled to Charleston, S. C. to oppose Porter Military Academy. Here Porter proceeded to take revenge for their numerous defeats of previous years at the hands of the Augusta team. The final score was Porter 10; Richmond 0. A week passed and Tech High from Atlanta invaded Augusta. Once more the Purple and Gold bent, this time under the weight and experience of the Southern High School Champions, Tech High and Thomason. The final score : Tech High 35 ; Richmond 0. Gordon, our next scheduled opponent, was unable to appear because of an epidemic of measles. Fortunately the Academy was able to get for oppo- nents the Shamrocks, a team made up of the Irish boys of the city. Truly they showed the old Irish fighting spirit, but outweighed, they were crushed by a score of 28 to 6, being given a taste of real football. Again we traveled. This time to Savannah with about 50 followers. Using the "huddle system" of signals. Savannah scored 27 points to the A. R. C.'s 0. Bruce's 30 3'ard run was the only redeeming feature of the game, from Richmond's view-point. The next week there was no varsity game. However, the A. R. C. scrubs trimmed Wrens High 56 to 0. Richmond versus Riverside was the Thanksgiving Day program. With a return of the old Richmond spirit, Richmond battled Riverside to a 13 to 6 lose, in the hardest fought game of the season. Gillman and Murphey's plung- ing was conspicious. Thus ended a rather unsuccessful season with 4 wins and 5 defeats. At the annual football banquet 21 men received letters in recognition of their services ; Fund, Hudson, Wall, Powell, Gillman, Evans, Thomas, Luckey, Savitz, Stelling, Story, Hunter, Schneider, Owens, Murphey, Bruce, Mont- gomery, Cabaniss, Hill, Donnelly and Smith. J. D. Evans, '25 Mr. Carson, or Coach as he is called by everyone, came to us three years ag:o. We had much trouble ^ettinj; him as football coach, as he was preatly in demand. For two years he put out winning teams for Richmond, and he certainly cannot be blamed f(tr the unsuLvessful season this year. Coach is easil>" the most popular man in school and his word is law with everyone. Coach phiyed for Clemson and then taught football (hiring the war in France, st> he certainly has the experience. We hope to have him many more years, for it will certainly be ii sad day for us when he leaves. CAPTAIN PUND Fund, who is a veteran of three seasons was chosen as Captain of the 1924 team. He certainly deserved tlie lionor, as he was the best center as well as the best player seen here in many a moon. His presence in the line seemed to make the team fight twice as hard, and his absence was keenly felt. Peter suf- fered with his eyes the first part of the season and had a dislocated shoulder the last part of the year. This kept him from most of the games, which weak- ened the team greatly. Kudolph is going to Tech next year and we slial! probably hear from him as a football pla>er there. When Henry leaves the "Old Historic" there leaves one of the best boys ever enrolled there. BRUCE Tom was our utility backfleld man. playing right or left half, or full back. Bruce played his best in the Savannah High School game, showing the people of that town the old A. R. C. fighting spirit by plunging otf their "Boy School's" tackle for a 30 yard gain. Tliis is his first year at the A. R. C; we iiope it will not be his last. He will probably fill the position left vacant by Gillman next year for besides his hard line plunging and kicking, liis work on the defensive is "nothing but the best." CABANISS Although this was Henry's first year out for the team be was not inexperienced for he had played be- fore with the Hill boys and in company football for three years. He was considered one of the best ends we bad. His specialty was smasliing end runs. Opposing teams found to their sorrow that end runs attempted around his end were usually upset before they had started. Henry also receives a pass well ami can kick when called \ipon. He is a senior this year and next year will go to Georgia Tech. We i'eel sure he will make as good an end for Tech in a few years as he did while at the A. R. C. EVANS The g:reat problem of Coach Carson this year was to fintl a quarterback to take O'Connor's place. The situation looked hopeless until Johnny appeared. Coach immediately recog-nized his ability and placed him at quarter on the varsity. He most ably tilled O'Connor's shoes and ran the team to perfection. Johnny started off every g:ame. with one or two exL-eptions, and easily earned his letter. He is a senior this year and will not be back, but he will truly be missed. Johnny will easily make good wherever he soes. DONNELLY Donnelly came to us from the Shamrock Athletic Club. He did not come out at the beginning: of the season, but he at last condescended to lielp out. by coming- out. Pat was one of our best ends and play- ed well in three games, before he suffered a broken collar l)one and was forced to retire. We hope to have Donnelly with us next year as he will ably fill Savitz shoes. "Undertaker" is only an inter- mediate and shoidd be with us two more years. We hope he will, don't you? HILL "Rick" (as we call him) although weighing only 140 lbs. played his first varsity game as a guard. But because of his speed and plunging he was shifted where he played half and fullback for the remainder of the season. "Rick" was a scrub last year but this year he set his eyes on one of Mr. Bryson's letters and at the annual football banquet when they were awarded his was among them, "even though his name did not lead all the rest." Too bad "Rick" is a senior for the A. R. C. will certainly miss him next fall. HUDSON "Bromo" is one of our three letter men and could easily be a four, if it were possible. As an end he is one of the best ever seen at the old school. He was death on forward passes and breaking up end runs. Jackie was fast as lightning and a deadly tackier. His team mates showed their appreciation for his ability and elected him captain of the 1925 team and full well did he deserve the honor. In every game, Jackie was a scintillating star, always ready to fight for the honor of the old school. Hudson played a stellar game in Savannah and also against Riverside. We hope to have him two or three more years. HL'XTER Elwood was left halfback of the fast backfield. Besides being^ one of Mr, Cordle's track stars he was one of Coadi Carson's "four horsemen." "Rags" learned tlie principles of the ^aine in Virginia from which place he came to ns to have Coach Carson teach him the remainder. Klwuutl rarely fails to irain throueh the line and never fails to gain around the ends. This is only his seconfj year at the A. R. C. so great things are expected of him in the three coming years. MOXTdOMERV Ed. who is usually called "Stupor" by his numer- ous friends was one of the hardest-working men on the squad. If "Stupor" woukl only come out of the dense fog he is in, he would be a great football player. Ed started most of the games this year, and not many yards were gained through him. "Stupor" was one of the hardest tacklers on the team and could always be seen at the bottom of every play. He will not be back next year, as he has an appoint- ment to Annapolis. Ed also has the honor of being the Coach of Co. I) Regimental champions. OWENS Delmar was substitute center this year, until Capt.. Fund was forced out of the game. He filled Peter's place passing well and easily shttwed his worth as a center. Delmar showed he was of the right .stuff by sticking to his job until the end. Dehnar has scrublied tw() years and tliis was a fitting reward for his faithfulness. Next year, we expect great things ]d, being able to gain through almost any line. His best game was against Batesburg-Lees- ville High when he scored the first touchdown. "Pop's" class rating is as a junior, so he is due for another year at the "Old" school, or will it be the new? In any case he will be a welcome player for the 1925 squad. SMITH Bob was certainly the shiek of the team this year. On all the trips he had the girls riding him around and making dates with him. Bob plays tackle and guard and does both to perfection. He started off a good percentage of the games and easily earned his letter by his hard work. Smith is also a fierce eater, and on the trips and at the banquets he was given plenty of room to exercise his ability. He is also a great sport-writer and some day we expect to see him sport-editor of the Hawkeye. Bob is a senior and says he won't be back. The team will truly miss him. STORY Louts has at last won tiis letter in football. For the past years he Las been a faithful scrub and also a company football star, making: all-Re^inient one year. For the first eig:ht games this year Louis did not see service, but the Coach at last realized his ability and started him off in the game of games That one with Riverside. In this game Louis sure showed his stuff and although very light, he held his opponents the whole game. He plajed one of the l)est defensive games ever played. Louis will not l>e back next year. He says he is going to Tech. Here's luck. Louis THOMAS All luiil the good looking Tackle. He goes by the natue of .Julian anfl is tlie girls deliglit. When "Katie" is not sheiking iie tries to play football, .lulian has been our star tackle for two years. Last year he took Fair's place and n(bly did he fill it. This year he was the man around whom the line was built. "Katie" is not sure whether be will be back next year but we hope he will. The college that gets Julian will be lucky, for he certainly has a future before him as a football player. M'ALL When you want to find "Frosty", just look around for Lucky. Tliey are never separated. Foster and Lucky both used to stroll out to practice about an hour late every day. Anyway, Foster was one of the best tackles ever seen at Old Richmond. He was always distinguished by his bright red hosiery. Foster \\as always ready to put out bis all for the team. although he was rather rough and his opponents were the worse for wear after the game. "Frosty" says be is going to tieorgia next year. "Major" will make a good guard on the Freshman team. Here's luck, old boy. SAVITZ Having -^crnhbed for two or three years, Ed banded in his resignation and decided he wouhl like to play on the varsitj'. Coach seemed satisfied and placed hirTi on an end l)ecause of bis speeti and ability to catch passes. Ld was also death on end runs iiml iHit mai)>' of them passed him. Kd had two or three years of company football, so be lacked no exper- ience. Ed is a Senior this year, he will not be back. When he leaves the "Old Historic" it will lose one of the most lirilliaut players it has ever had. Ed is bound to make good anywhere he goes and we all wish him hick. OILLMAX "Teet" was our l)est backfield bet this year. This year "Teet" makes his fourth football letter. Be sides filling the fullback position in a super-creditable manner, he ai-ted the part of Captain while I'und was unable to play on account of sickness. While starring in practically every game, bis best playing was witnessed in the game with Carlisle when he scored two touchdowns anfl one point after, plus a great defensive work. This is "Teet's" last year at high school but if he goes to college we are sure he will make as great a pla\er there as he did for tlie A. R. C. p. II' III '111 II III III III '11 III iiii III. ed by the Musketeers, three were lost by one point margins which by a little more effort or luck could have been reversed into our favor. Savannah, Columbia, and Furman Freshman were the only schools to hold decisions against the ^Musketeers. The best played games of the season were tlie first and the last when the Hanover High, of Willmington nosed out a 18 to 16 victory and the Savannah "Geechies" who lucked out a .'JO to 29 victory in the last second of play. The Musketeers deserve much credit for the stand they put up against the Savannahians. In the first game with Savannah they finished the second half with four men, two regulars who were crippled and two substitutes who were in bad condition also. The Musketeers held a five point lead for three quarters of the half only to be beaten into submission by the rough and tumble tactics of the "Geechies". Coach Hood awarded letters to six members of the squad for their ser- vices during the season. Those being awarded letters are: Jackie Hudson, Jake and Jack Crouch, Savitz, Thomas Bruce and Bob Smith. r!tm III III III" iiii- 'iiii^iii' III iiiLii iii> III III III urn iir III III II III III III III II III III III I iiii III iii< nil III iiii nil tf Captain Hutcheson Baseball Review HIS spring found four teams training in Augusta, namely Detroit, Toronto, Augusta, and the A. R. C, eacli in its class a first division team. Coach Hood saw at once that he was well supplied with material for nearly lialf a hundred students were out for positions including the returned letter men, Hudson, Hutciieson, Dunawaj, Cook and Gillman, \V. After several weeks of practice, Richmond opened the schedule with Bailey Military Institute as opjjonents. B. M. I. returned home loser by a score of 13 to 1. Features of the game were the airtight ])itching of Adams, Cook and Hutcheson, these lads giving up only five hits between them and the hitting of Hutcheson, Hudson and Hill, while each of the other members of the team secured at least one hit. For the second game the A. R. C. boys travelled to Batesburg in order to meet the Batesburg-Leesville High School team. Here, unaccustomed to left liand ])itching as yet, Richmond was unable to collect their hits and were defeated by a score of 5 to ,'j. A week elapses and the Richmond ball-tossers are in Columbia. Gather- ing hits at will and aided by errorless fielding, they proceeded to run up a score of 18 and to keep Columbia's down to 1. In Savannah Richmond playing their usual brand of good baseball de- feated that city's High School by a score of 8 to 1, scoring in every inning except the third while Adams and Hutcheson pitching, kept the locals well in hand. Revenge is sweet and vengance was ours for when Batesburg-Leesville High came to Augusta for a return game they were defeated by a score of 3 to 2 in one of the hardest fought games ever seen here. It was a pitcher's dual with botii hurlers being in good form. So far no other games have been jjlayed but it is safe to say that the ^Musketeers will end the season with as good a record as thev have now, 4 wins with but 1 defeat. J. D. Evans, '25 HOOD This is coach Hood's second season as baseball coach at Richmond. This season, coach has developed a winning team and received much praise for the way his yoiin?:sters fought. He is known as "John Mag:ran of the prep circle." ADAMS This is "Snow's" first year out for the team but from the way he pitched during: a part of the first game it seems he will earn his "R" long before the end of the season. Snow has a mean "hook" and good control. Also ht hits well when hits are needed. TOM BRUCE This is Tom's first vear but he is making good. Go to it Tom. JAKE CROUCH Jake holds down the left field position and right well does he cover his territory. Jake's experience was had in the Sunday School League where he was rated as a 300 hitter. Jake is to the diamond what Nurmi is to the track. In other words, he is the fastest man on the squad, often making hits out of what would be good sacrifices. Few opposing batters get hits in Jake's territory. .JACK CROUCH Jack is one of our heaviest, hardest hitters. Last year in the Industrial League he hatted over the 400 mark, ninst of his hits groin^ for two or three hases. a few for home runs. He is expected to exceed this mark this year. Jack is at>out the best catcher we have seen at the A. R. C. in the hist ten years. Rarely does a man make tle ahnost hopeless attempt to steal on Jack's dependable arm. DUN A WAY "Country" is back at his old position of short stop again this season. By the way he handles this position.it would not be a bad idea for the rest of the team to practice in Harlem. Ga. Dunaway also hits about as good as he fields and throws. Dunaway holds the A. R. C. record for the distance baseball throw; he threw one a "country" mile. GILLMAN Billie is holding: down the "hot corner" apain tliis year. Last year for his work around third base, he received an "R" and it is in anticipation of another that he is snagging: every ball driven in his direction. Billy usually gets at least one hit each game. HILL Tliis is "Rick's" first year on the varsity, but we are not surprised to see him there, for didn't he play on Mr. Klemins's scrubs two years ago? "Rick" was one of the leading batters in the Sunday School League last year and on his trst game this year, he hit safely twice out of four attempts. He is a regular basket for holding on to all the flyballs that come to the center garden. HERN DON "Nick" :s a new man on the team. He is a good outfielder and for that reason Coach Hood will probably hold him as a first reserve. "Nick" is a good hitter and a fast man. "Nick" will no doubt return next year to get his letter if be does not receive one this year. CAPTAIN HUTCHESON This is "Doc's" third year on the team, which is another way of saying tliat he has two more years with us. "Doc" is our best pitcher and among the best of our hitters so when not pitching he is found somewhere in the line up. In the first game of the season, he banged out two singles and a double in five trips to the plate. HUDSON "Jacky" is now playing his third year on the var- sity. He holds down first base again this year, hav- ing played the outfield his freshman year. In the B. M. I. game, Hudson hit a triple and a single besides making several pretty catches. He will no doubt continue this good work all through the season. He will be back for two more years. MOOG Moo^ is not a new man on the squad as lie lias l)een out for baseball three years, and has made a ffoofl showing every year, and we are sure he is iroins^ to fjet his letter this year. He has disting:uish- ed himself for his "stickahility" in all athletics, al- ways ready to do liis part. VVe will lose Moog this year as he hopes to get his "Dip". MACKEY James is a new man on the team and a hard worker. He covers the territory around second base like a second Eddie Collins. Few pet by "Eddie 11" l"(pr he is fast and has a good arm. His work with the stick is good, also. WOLFE Wolfe's position this year is in the outfield. Last year Wolfe played tir.st base in the Sunday School [.eague. but because of his hitting and having a good first baseman in Hudson. Coach Hood is trying to make an outtielder of him. Wolfe takes his strikes from the left side of the home base. ^^ ^ ^** ^ J, II Ilk III II iiUir III'- Jill. nnii nil iin ill' liiiiniii ii iIiiliiIi iII iiii m iiIi innnii iiii iiii iiiijiii iiiii> iiir iini-iai' 'iii'"* iniii:: TRACK iij:c:3i8iii:3:i:x:x:iiiiiiSiiiBiiQii8iit:3 Captain Francis Powell COACH CORDLE Coach Cordle came to Uichiiiond in Ii)l( from Trinity CoIleg:e, where for two years he was a member of tlie track team. In 1017 lie took full charge of A. R. C.'s team. Since that time, he has turned out many splendid runners. Mr. Cordle's 1924 relay team won the prep school event in the Soutliern relays held at Georgia Tech. Judging from the past records of Mr. Cordle's teams, we need not worry over the prospects of Richonuid's future teams. CAPTAIN FRAN" POWELL ''Fran" is completing his third year on the team, and is going strong as ever. Fran runs the hundred yard dash, is on the relay team, and is also our star broad-jumper. These are three events in which Richmond can count on first place as long as "Fran" is in the meet. HENRY CABANISS This is "Burr's" second year on the track team, and his ability as a high jumper is known far and wide. This year "Burr" surprised Mr. Cordle by developing into an excep- tional 440 man. He won the event on field day and came out a close second in the Wrens meet. GEORGE HOLLISTER George made his track letter in 1923, but did not come to Richmond the following year. This year, however, he saw that the team was going to pieces without him, and decided to help us out another year. George is one of our fastest men. He runs the hundred yard dash and the relay. ELWOOD HUNTER When Hunter finishes a 220, he brushes the dust off himself, and runs back to see who is going to finish second. Hunter is also a star on the relay team, and has shown considerable ability as a broad jumper. JIMMY FULGHUM Jimmy has just learned a new way to high jump, and we feel sure that he will do wonders with it. Jimmie's new method is very effective. Our only criticism is that the jumper usually lands on his chin. Jimmy is showing fine form in the hurdles too. JEFF CURRY Jeff is on the track team for his first year, and has shown himself to be one of the fastest men in the school. He is on the relay team, and runs the 220. As long as Jeff remains at Richmond, we will be assured of at least one good man on the track team. SWITZERLET "Swity", like most of the others, is a new man on the track team. "Swity" may not run like the wind, but he can pass those that are running like the wind. Switzerlet's name is often seen written amongst the winners of a hundred yard dash. "Swity" also runs the relay. CHARLEY PRICKETT Prickett astonished everybody, and even Mr. Cordle, by winning the 220 on field day. Pritchett is continuing his good work, and is assured a place on the team. Pritchett is also a substitute on the relay team. CARLTON WISE After starring on North Augusta High's track team for a number of years. Wise decided he would not let North Augusta monopolize all his ability, but would help Richmond for a year or so. Wise first showed his speed in the scrub football games. Carlton runs the 220. He is also a good broad-jumper. FRANCIS YOUMANS Youmans got his practice for the hurdles by side-stepping the opposing linesmen in Company football. Although he is not very large Youmans is our best shot-putter. Tills is his first year on the team. Review of Track Season THE WRENS-WAYNESBORO MEET N April the fourttenth, tliu track tfiini rode down to Wrens to partici- pate in a triangular meet with Wrens and Waynesboro. Richmond won with a total score of -t-t'o; ^Vaynesboro was second with 32^ points and Wrens third with 6 points. In this meet Switzerlet showed his speed by coming out second in the 100 yard dash. Hollistcr was first. Jimmy Fulghum won first place in the liigli jump with five feet, four inches. THE TECH RELAYS On the eighteenth of April, the relay team composed of Powell, Hollister, Switzerlet and Curry, with Cabaniss and Pritchett as substitutes, went to Atlanta to enter the Tech relays. The team was a little off' form, and did not repeat the triumph of last year's relay team. THE BAILEY MEET The following Saturday.Richmond met the fast Bailey Military Academy team at the Fair Grounds. Kichmond was defeated by her older and more experienced opponents. Bailey captured all but two first places, the hurdles and the relay. Cajjtain Powell was high j)oint man for Richmond, and Cabiniss came second. To (late this is our last meet. We feel confident that, after a little more practice, our team will he in winning form. Coach Cordle OACH Cordle came to us years ago and since then has been putting out winning teams every year. Most of the track men he trained are now starring on college teams all over the South. Coach claims Trinity as his Alma Mater. There he was a star distance runner. He is the idol of his team, and rules his team with an iron though kindly hand. We hope we will have him for many years as we can always depend on him for a winning team. Jokes Raiford Watkins.
