Scott Vi> r^] ^orelvord In this, the second volume of the '\ainboU', the joint year book of The Junior College of Augusta and The Academy of Richmond County, we, the members of the Staff, have endeavored to set forth events of inter- est to the students and friends of both institutions. Through this book we ha\"e tried to present a sort of his- tory, showing the achie\e- ment of students, and the growth of educational ad- \antages in Augusta. v'^ Administration Major Geo. P, Butler, B.E.. LL.D. Long ago. in the dawn of human history, a rainbow brought hope and inspiration to all who understood its message. So today, this RAINBOW brings us cause for rejoicing in the attainments and the accomplishments of our students, as portrayed in pictures and in statements herein. With the enlargement of our facilities and the beautifying of our surroundings here, student activities and associations have become increasingly varied and helpful. We are inspired to build our lives upon a higher and finer plane and to prepare ourselves for a greater service to our God and to our fellow men. This is the message of our Rainbow; let us interpret it and translate it into our lives. Cordially and sincerely, Geo, p. Butler, President.

Your hand is warmly grasped: your eyes arc met squarely with a pair of steady blue eyes that seem to understand; you hear cordial, well-spoken words in a low musical voice; you lecl the magnetic appeal of an unusual personality and Joe adds another to his long list of friends. He has certainly made us a good president and we arc proud of him, Sarah Barry Whitney Class Secretary, 1. Vice-President, 2; Literary Editor THE Rainbow, 2; Dramatic Club, 2; Sidney Lanier Literary Society. 1. 2, Sarah has engaged in many student activities. Her unfail- ing willingness to help in any cause without being begged is quite unusual. Though not particularly studious, her ability enables her to obtain good grades, Charles Mulherin Class Treasurer. 1. Secretary, 2; Assistant Editor-in-Chief The Rainbow. 1. Business Manager. 2; Dramatic Club. 1. 2; Hi-Y. 1, 2; Vice-President, I. To the world at large this lad is known as Charles M. Mulherin, but such a title fails to expose the wholesome man- liness that the name "Charlie" implies. Intellectually. Charlie" far surpasses the average student, but his intellectu- ality is not of the narrow, memory-efficient type. He has discernment, forethought, keen analytical power, and enviable creative and imaginative capacities. Blanche Kuhlke Honor. 1 ; Class Vice-President. 1 . Treasurer. 2 ; Assistant Editor in-Chief THE RAINBOW. 2; President Dramatic Club. 2; President Girls' Council. 2; Hi-Y-\V. 1, President, 2, We can't say enough of Blanche! She's popular, bright. active, capable well, it's just Blanche, Isn't that good enough' Elizabeth Akerman Sidney Lanier Literary Society, 1, 2, Elizabeth is planning to be a nurse, and there is no doubt that she will be a very efficient one. During the past two years Elizabeth has proved herself to be a steady worker; her fine support of the literary society is to be commended. Joseph Reid Akerman Sergeant, 1, 2; Sidney Lanier Literary Society. 2: Tech Club, 1 ; Last Will and "Testament. 2, Joe is a gentleman, a friend, and a true supporter of ,J C. A. He takes his troubles on the smooth side and never seems to let anything worry him. During his stay with us he has won many friends because of his personality and his fun-making. Although full of fun he takes his work seri- ously, but not too seriously. b'lfffflni^'wiTOrm'iiiBiWfhfflti I'mir 'I'liiitly-two Elsie Ward Allen Elsie is best described as a petite brunette. Although she is small, remember that the most valuable things come in the imallcst packages. Annie Sutherland Anderson Annie is a merry little brunette. All who know her. love her. She never gets mad. and can be depended on when promptness is required! Hone Margaret Bailie I : Sidney Lanier Literary Society. 1. 2. When you think of quiet dignity, worth, knowledge, and good nature you may count on Margaret to fill the bill. She's all right, we know ! 'Tff', /^/l C Julia Carmichael Bell Orchestra, 1; Dramatic Club, 2; Sidney Lanier Literary Society. I. Vice-President (first term). President (second term). 2: Joke Editor THE RAINBOW, 2. Julia is quite a violinist, besides being an attractive blond. That's just too much for one girl: but she's all there. \Vc all admire Julia. RuSSELL BLANCHARD Sidney Lanier Literary Society. 1. Critic (first term), Vice- President (second term), 2: Hi-Y. 1. Secretary-Treasurer (first term). President (second term). 2: Boys' Council, 2; Editor-in-Chief THE RAINBOW, 2. Russell is a favorite at school. He is quiet and dignified, but a steady and reliable worker. It is certain that he has done much to make our annual what it is: and if he works later as he has with us we predict for him a happy and pros- perous future. lik^r^l Georgia Haynie Brawner Honor. 1: Hi-Y-'W. Secretary-Treasurer. 1. 2: Assistant Picture Editor. 1, Picture Editor THE RAINBOW, 2. Merry eyes, happy smile and real friendship make Gerogia a winner, for she's a true "Georgia Peach" of the blond variety. Paye Tuenty three Sara Taylor Copeland According to Mr. Begue, Sara is the most serious-minded person in our French class! Wonder what Mr. Read thinks? Sara is a bridge player of no mean ability and her wit and vivacity make her the life of any class. (^^ ' Melvis Otelia Corbitt Literary Society. I. 2. Melvis has an ambition to pursue a medical carcei. Although we realize that it takes dependability and palienri to succeed, we believe she is capable. Go to it. Melvis! Mary Warren Ellison Hi-Y. I. 2. The first thing that one notices about Mary is her beautiful brown eyes. No wonder Mary is able to charm people to easily. Yet, it is not by her beauty alone that she wi..<. friends, but by her sparkling personality and fun-lovinj; disposition. Beulah May Fender Bculah seems always in a hurry, but never too much so. for a cheering smile that helps through a dreadful test. How docs she keep her hair so beautifully waved? Louise Garrett Honor. I ; Girls' Council. Secretary. 2. Better known as "Billie." she is always a good one to be with when you're blue, because she's so jolly that you forget your troubles. She's an excellent scholar and quite an asset to our class. Frances Mae Getzen Frances has been in the training school this fall we've not seen much of her. but she's a peach, know how well she dances! and so The boys /u!/e Taentii-four .b-^ ie'- Erline Gilchrist ^ George and Erline are the Romeo and Juliet of Junior College. Erline is also an accomplished pianist, and accom- panies the singing in chapel on all occasions. Miriam Grablowsky Miriam came to us from Tubman. She is rather quiet and easy-going, and she never gets angry. She is training to be a teacher, and we know that she will make a good one. Anna Gray Anna is quite an athlete and we hope that she gets every- thing "over" in life as easily as she gets the tennis ball over the net. Besides, she has shown remarkable ability as a critic. Arvis Hadden Arvis came to us this year from one of the county schools, and she has proved her worth! She is an excellent student, and is really a wonder in Education. Marguerite Hildebrandt High Honor. 1 : Girls' Council, 2. Marguerite is quiet, but when it comes to lessons, she's all there. We admire Marguerite tremendously. Eugenia Hutto One of our smallest girls is Eugenia, but we are nevertheless conscious of her. Still, she seems almost too young to be a dignified college Sophomore. Records show she is. however. Page Ttcenty-'ftve A A\r,^' Cof \c b- Ruth Lansdell Although Ruth only joined us this year, she possesses the invaluable quality of making friends, and is now well-known and much loved. Her ability to make friends is in no small way due to her conscientiousness and steadfastness. ^ )C Joseph Alvin Leaphart Alvin entered J. C. A. from old Richmond, and has been faithful to his class duties as well as his studies. Cheerfulness, friendliness and courteousness may be aptly used to describe him. Sara Lovett Class Poet. 2 Sara joined our class in the Sophomore year, and has proved a valuable addition. Besides being a very lovable girl, she has exceptional literary talent. Her themes have been commended by Mr. Read, and we feel that Sara will win her l.iurels if she keeps on in college as she has begun. Margaret Lyons Honor, 1 ; Girls' Council. 2. The girl with the lovely hair, blue eyes, and serious expres- sion is Margaret. She is one of Miss Flisch's star history pupils, knowing more about the history of England than an hnglishman himself. Jeannette Maxwell \/c>iI c^ta^r, Jeanette is a quiet worker, and we admire her immensely. She is to be seen with her reference books about her at the Library almost any time. Sherwood Maxwell Sergeant, 1.2; Assistant Business Manager RAINBOW. 2: Hi-Y, 2, Sherwood is a rather quiet lad. but this does not keep him from being known. He is liked by everyone. His striking personality and sterling character combine to make him a tvpical figure of manhood. He is one who lets everything come as it may, and meets all obstacles with a smile and a firm determination to succeed. I'lii/e Tiienlysix r.^ j/,irt )i Mary Miles Quietly Mary has gone through Junior College without creating much stir. She is soft of voice, gentle of manner, never in a hurry yet she accomplishes much. Carl Miller Hi-Y, 2: Track, 1. 2. Carl is quiet and timid with the co-eds but not so at track practice. He's one of our prize runners. Wonder if his nick- name "Jumbo" helps any.' William Moore Sidney Lanier Literary Society, 2: Corporal. I, Ser- geant. 2. William has been with us both years and we could not do without him. He is good natured. amusing, and fun loving besides being a good cadet and student. Cornelia Morrison A quiet little person is Cornelia. Yet this quality is an asset rather than a liability, for a good listener never lacks friends. Ruth McAuliffe High Honor. 1: Girls' Council. 2; Class Historian, 2. Ruth possesses that rare combination of beauty and brains. She has carried off high honors at Junior College, and what- ever college she enters next year will have reason to be proud of her. Minnie McGee Because of her quiet manners Minnie might pass un- noticed. But we who know her and appreciate her qualities realize how great her virtures are. f*af:e Ticcntii-seren ,&' \c< ,''^' \f> \i- ^J.n^"' 'lA^^ ^/ .-'' ^\ 'l^^ .^^ A* 3?' Louise O'Leary Louise is extremely witty, possessing the real Irish wit. She is capable of making the most serious person laugh until his sides ache. May Belle Power Dramatic Club. \. 2: Literary Society, L May Belle has successfully tried her hand at dramatics. She is also acknowledged to be one of the snappiest and prettiest of the co-eds: several professors, it is said, have been influenced by her winning ways. SuNiE Dixon Rhodes Hi-Y-W, 1,2; Girls' Council, 2. Undoubtedly. Susie is the "cutest" blond that we know! And that describes her; more is not necessary. fcr- Edwin Ridgway Basket-ball. 2. What more can be said of a man than that he is loyal to J. C. A. and a true friend to all. These are the outstanding characteristics of Edwin. He came to us that never-to-be- forgotten September day two years ago. wearing the same winning smile that has won for him so many friends. He is a hard worker, not only in his classes, but in everything that he undertakes. Richard Brinsley Sheridan Captain Adj., 1: Lieut. Col.. 2; Football. 1, 2; Basket- ball, 1,2; Student Council, Treasurer. 1. Vice-President, 2: President Freshman Class, 1 ; Dramatic Club. 2. "R. B." has a personality which acts as a magnet in .ittracting to him the trust and confidence of all who know him. He is an efficient executive and has held many positions of prominence here. Not over-bearing or forward, he is always good-natured and smiling. Lucy Jane Scurry Girls' Council, 2. Lucy's attractiveness is, to a great extent, due to her unfail- ing cheerfulness. Nobody has ever seen her with the blues. To this sunny disposition, add beauty, and you have Lucy, Pai/e T wenti/eight Doris Simmons Girls' Council, 2; Hi-Y-W, 2: Art Editor THE RAIN- BOW, 2. When there is art work to be done. Doris is one of our best choices. And she is good at lessons, too! Virginia Lorraine Stuart Honor, 1. Virginia will never out-grow her "baby face." but she wears it well. She is good at bridge and dates; yet lessons never seem to suffer. How does she do it? Elizabeth Sylvester Honor. 1: Hi-Y-W, 1. 2: Assistant Literary Editor THE Rainbow, 2. Elizabeth is another good scholar. She has beauty and brains, a rare combination, but excellent. We appreciate Elizabeth and what she has done for us. Hannah Minnie Tanenbaum Minnie is a good student and as fun-loving as any. She is ever ready to help a body with a lesson or just a friendly smile. As a teacher we feel sure she will succeed. Wallace Trowell Sidney Lanier Literary Society. 2. A rare combination, one that is seldom found. always a pleasing countenance, and a store of ready wit and talent. Wallace is the embodiment of these striking traits. No one knows him but to like him. Catherine Verdery Honor. 1 ; Assistant Art Editor THE RAINBOW, 1 ; Hi-Y-W. 1, 2. Catherine is an adorable little blond and a good type for her own artistic ability. We who know her love her. Page Tucniynine Alma Wall Alma is sweet, modest, and congenial. Throughout her stay at J. C. A. she has never been known to lose her temper. When the rest of us are complaining about the difTiculty of our studies. Alma is quietly trying to smooth over the rough places. LULA Whaley Lula comes to school in her Ford: and it must be a wonder, for she's always on time. Lula is smart as can be, for there's not a problem in Math that she can't do. Margaret Wood She is one of our training school girls. We know she will make a good teacher for a while. Margaret is tiny, and c]uiet: but she's a winner. Ben Akerman Dramatic Club. 1. 2: Literary Society. President (second term). 1. (first term). 2; Scrgt.. 1. 2; 'Tech Club. 1: Busi- ness Manager Musketeer. 2. Ben has just entered our class. He is our great politician and debater. He is quite indispensable, being everything, everywhere, at once. He might be Mr. Read's private secre- tary, as the latter is quoted as saying. "Ben knows enough to ruin me. " SPf^' Jennie Lefkowitz Dramatic Club. 1. 2: Literary Society. 1. 2. Having done extra work. Jennie has just been added to our roll, and she is a worthy addition. "Dr." Lefkowitz. it will be some day; and we know she will be an excellent physician. /'tif/c Thirti/ A Memory In the sunset of our lives. When the joy of living is fading There will be high points of happiness that thrive. Locked in our memories, now fast jading. We will bring them to light from time to time With reverent hand and reminiscent smile Each one holding for us a gift, sublime Out of the full joyous years, as we heap them in a tiny pile. Loving, grieving, remembering, caressing We will weigh them one by one And out of all God's blessings Our last golden school days will be the brightest beam of that sun. It Will shine forth with a gleam, so true Gathering into it all the colorful sunbeams of our lives. That we will linger over this memory of Senior days, of every hue And it Will remain a beacon light in our grey skies. Sara Lovett. r^^ Paf/e 'I'll iitif "11 f Class History Looking through some old college records in the Junior College Library for data on the foundation of the College, I came across a well-worn, rather abused and somewhat familiar looking volume. Picking it up what did it prove to be a 1928 Annual The RAIN- BOW. As I glanced through its pages. m> attention was attracted to the history of the class of '28 which recorded the beginning of fifty useful lives. Bear with me whilst I read it to you. "In the month of October to be more exact the eighteenth 1926, there arrived at the doors of the " ^^M^.

"I'hcre were formed during the year a I 'ry Society, Student Council, Hi-Y-W, and Dramatic Club, in whose play se> A members of our class took part. Then the results (whether good or otherwise) of innumerable tests and semester examinations brought the year 1927 to a close. "In September we. the timid Freshmen of '27, returned the surer Sopho- mores of '28, having far more confidence in arranging our courses and looking down with contempt on the struggling Freshman. We have carried on and added to the work begun by the Sophomores of the preceding year. We have now reached the parting of the ways and no matter how little the association may be we are each indebted to some other member of our class for perhaps a new thought or new line of reasoning and the contact has developed a breadth of vision, a more tolerant spirit, and a general feeling of good fellowship. We are now no longer groping, we arc surer shall we succeed? Let us hope." Ruth McAuliffe. Last Will and Testament We. the class of '28 of the Junior College of Augusta, realizing that our short existence as a class is coming to a close and that soon we will be numbered with those who live only in fondest memory, declare this to be our last will and testament. 1. To those who labored long and hard for us. in spite of lack of apprecia- tion those unrecogni7,ed friends, the faculty, we wish to leave our gratitude and to express a hope that, through us, these labors may be proved worth while. Realizing, however, that there is no perfection while men are human, for the nearer attainment unto it and for assurance that we will be remembered as a class we wish to leave, in addition, the following items: 2. To our sadly over- worked office we leave an efficiency expert. 3. To our High and Mighty King George we leave one rubber sceptre. 4. To Mr. Skinner we leave one automatic drawing-paper vender so that he can work uninterruptedly during the sixth period. I'lrie 'Ihirty-ttoo 5. To Miss Flisch we leave one sh-h-h machine, to be run by the lockers opened during the class periods. This machine was designed by Mr. Talley while the Physics class waited. 6. For the entertainment of her classes, we leave Miss Boggs one volume of "Snappy Stories" by "Doc" Wade. 7. To Mr. Begue we leave the Chair of Agricul- ture. 8. To Mr. Ellis we leave one deodorizer for his lab. 9. The title "co-eds' favorite" we leave to Mr. Eubanks. 10. To Mr. Markert we leave one new Essex, so he can outrun the North Augusta "Speed Cop." 11. To our landscape gardener, Mr. Hardy, we leave one pair of sand-proof shoes. 12. To Mr. Read we leave Mr. Scruggs' ability to answer each and every question unexpectedly brought up. 13. To the accomplished vocalists of the faculty we leave one set of mufflers to save the expense of sound- proof walls for the library. 14. We wish to leave one sound-proof booth in which our loud friends such as "Droopy" White may be incarcerated. 1 5. We wish to suggest the addition to the library of the following books: (a) How to Limber Up, Mr. C. G. Cordle; (b) Dignity, Mr. W. M. McLeod; (c) Military Synonyms, Col. A. G. Goodwyn: (d) Essays on Inspiration, Mr. C. M. Sutton. We do appoint the leading business wonder of the world, Andrew Gump, Esq., as our executor. (Signed) THE CLASS OF '28. Witnesses: JOE R. AkeRMAN.

For to conquer this wild and most uncivilized work of the devil, one must wade through a sea of circles, beset on every side by parallel lines and ferocious perpendiculars. The treacherous circumferences are ready and anxious to hurl on the unwary one a shower of sexagesimal and circular measures. Maddened radians rush here and there screaming and cursing the most terrible formulas. Frequently one rushes around madly, running upon fierce trigonometric equations, crashing through jungles of congruent figures, tripping over hidden identities, and falling over perpen- dicular cliffs to strike upon hard propositions. For this reason, many supplementary angles are formed, thus putting one in the deepest pits of Hell, where lurk such wild and ferocious beasts as the tangent, the degree, the cosecant, and the terrible sine who live ready to devour and tear into shreds anyone who is not continuously on the lookout. Only a very few ever break through these overwhelming odds victorious, but those who do, nine times out of ten, spend the remainder of their lives in an insane asylum; their dreams are nightmares of the terrible things they have expe- rienced under the dominion of tribes of the most horrible physiognomy, such as the algebraic figures, the hypotenuses and the ratios!!!

So. in attempting the history of the class of 1 928 the historian will mention only those occurrences and those men ( jW which seem outstanding in the opinion of the student yi^ H^. body. ^1^^^^ On the fifteenth of September. 1924. two hundred and twenty-six Freshmen assembled at the old Academy Pj ., Tra^ building to begin what was for them an entirely new ex 'i "^^ perience. It was no easy task to get acquainted with life L '' .^ ^ Jt A. R. C. We were given what were called "schedule * ^.M cards." which seemed to us a staggering problem in ' mathematics. To "day-old" Freshmen. "MIIBHHSDIl" was a problem with eight unknowns. Upperclassmen delighted in our predicament, giving us as many false solutions as there were unknowns in the problem. Although we were hopelessly confused, it was stimulat- ing to our pride to feel that we were men being taught by men. Later in that year when we began to feel a bit more unified, we assembled to elect a class president. The lot fell on Howard Leitner. We were now ready to take an active part in the life of the school. No day in our history stands out more vividly than November first, 1924. the day we escorted all Augusta to the polls to vote for A. R. C. bonds. We feel a pardonable pride in having helped to put over this election which assured the funds for the sorely needed new building. When we met again next year our hearts were lighter than they had been the year before. Now. we were Sophomores "wise fools," but cheerful ones. Knowing that we would have but one year more in the old building, we stood the discomforts with good nature. Red-hot stoves and falling plaster were subjects for jokes, when we anticipated steam heat and fire-proof walls. Our president for this year was David Potter. It was with keen disappointment that we once more assembled in the old building for the beginning of our Junior year. However, we had to wait but little more than a month for the promised move into our new quarters. And then oh, my. the confusion! It is hard to say which was the more distracting. Junior College girls, or workmen. The good work accomplished during this first year in the new building reflects great credit on both the faculty and stu- dents, for the building was not completed until the spring. On May thirty-first. 1927, the Academy of Richmond County was formally opened. This was Augusta's first opportunity to see our splendid plant. After the formal ceremonies in the beautiful Auditorium, we acted as guides, showing the classrooms, the laboratories, the lunch room and the Library to the visitors. Vaijr Sixty t ICO As Juniors, with much reference work, we appre- ciated having a good Hbrary in the building and the assistance of as helpful and proficient a Hbrarian as Miss Rainsford. Our class was now beginning to make itself felt in athletics. Alvin Baird. our president, and several others of the class were on the football team. Gene Griffin. our athletic representative for three years, made the ten- nis team. We were also beginning to take part in the literary activities of the school, joining the literary society and going out for declamation and debating. We are espe- cially proud of the fact that, though Juniors, we won many of the school honors, John Caldwell making the debating team and winning the school cup for declama- tion: David Potter winning the American History and the Lincoln medals; and Elmore Clyde winning the medal for the best-drilled cadet in the newly established R. O. T. C. Unit. And now we come to the record of our Senior year, our last at old Richmond. At our first Senior class meeting, John Caldwell was elected president. It was gratifying to be the first class in the history of A. R. C. to be eligible for Senior privileges. A high percentage of the class qualified. We feel that the school, during this year, took a forward step in abolishing the outworn "time" system of punishment. About the middle of the year we were called together to arrange for the publication of a school paper, another "first" in the history of A. R. C. The editor-in-chief. Bill Weltch, and the assistant business manager were elected from our class. One of the important events of this, our Senior year, was the campus im- provement project. This required one thousand dollars, which the student body, especially the Seniors, were asked to raise. At the present writing the work is progressing rapidly. Mid-term examinations are over. Commencement looms ahead. Thanks to the faithful help of the faculty, and much hard work on our part, seventy- five of our original two hundred and twenty-six expect to receive diplomas. We trust that we, the class of 1928. have given to our Alma Mater something of value in exchange for the many benefits that we have received from her. David Whitney.

(Signed) THE SENIOR CLASS, Witnesses: By EuGENE M. KUHLKE. William E. Hickman, Ned Jones. I'arjc Sixty.four Prophecy of the Senior Class of the Academy The time of this very extraordinary account is November fifth, 1950, the place, Augusta, Georgia, the instance, my meeting an old friend whom I had not seen for twenty-two years. The long-lost friend was none other than Julian Otwell, who had joined the Navy 'way back in our boyhood. Of course, being very close friends before his departure, we required fully half an hour to com- plete our handshaking. But after we both realized that it was not a dream and that we had really met each other after these twenty years, we of course were very anxious to find out just what the other had been doing. Of course, most of the questioning came from him, because I had been here all of my life and had seen all of the old "gang" come and go. But I managed to shoot a question now and then, and learned a few interesting things from him. He never did enter Annapolis as he expected, because just before he left town he had taken a Math 41 re-exam under James Morgan Buckncr, our dear old professor of Richmond, and the relapse from this exam destroyed all of his potential Math ability, and he was never able to pass the entrance exam. But he said that, as it happened, he was glad, because he had satisfied his long ambi- tion to see the world. Naturally, our conversation drifted to the old school- days, and some of the old boys. On his last trip to Hawaii he happened to run across Charlie Goodwin and George Waddy. These two had joined the Army after graduating from Citadel. But they both resigned when Uncle Sam threatened to transfer them. While he was with Waddy and Goodwin, they told him that Harold Tannenbaum was getting rich down there selling cheap jewelry to the natives at exorbitant prices. Julian had not seen or heard from any of his other old classmates. I told him to follow me: I would show him a thing or two. Just as we stepped out of the hotel, Julian jumped back in amazement when a huge, black, bird-like creature swooped down from the heavens; but I told him to come on out, that that was only a combination automobile, aeroplane and motorboat invented by Harry Lindsey, with Clifton Black as his chief mechanic. Walking on down the street, I explained to Julian that the big auto- mobiles that were so numerous, having a seating capacity of about a hundred, were the invention of our old friend, Pen Mayson, the motive of this invention having come from Pen's youthful desire to see how many girls he could ride at one time. About that time we heard a terrible noise, people began to crowd the sidewalks, women and children shrieked, traffic opened up. and down the street came Bill Plumb with his all-star Jazz Band, Blakely Hawkins acting as band- master and Richard Peters as chief musician. These fellows, we later learned, were just down on the world, and just for spite they had organized this terrible thing. Walking on down Broad Street, which Julian said looked like a tunnel because of the skyscrapers and the overhead trolleys, we passed Roy McColIum's hot dog stand. He was doing a thriving business. Roy said that he attributed his rare ability along this line to his early training getting subscriptions for Eric Hardy's shrubbery to beautify the academy campus. About this time, who should walk up but our old friend, Bernard Armstrong. Through his love and devotion for the "Old Historic " and his desire to better the morale of the student body, he was working with the Alumni Association as secretary. He showed us a list of the boys of our class and what they were doing now. Dutch Luckey. I found out. is teaching a crocheting class. David Potter is a chain-gang guard at Leavenworth. Howard Leitner is now the proud manager of the St. Vitus Dancing School. Otis McManus and Julian O'Connor have succeeded Maggie Funk as profes- sors of the business college. Paije SixtU'five Harold Shell is the business manager for Tom Verdery's Breezy Stories Magazine. (We always felt that Tom would follow this work because it was always his highest ambition. ) Ray Fleming has long since gone back to the farm. (We later learned that Ray had said that he had seen enough of the world and its women, and that he was going back to settle down with his Columbia County "lass." I John Caldwell, with the aid of his slick political confederates, Brady Burch and George Cowan, is councilman from the Seventh Ward. James Grimaud is the costume designer for "Doc" Wade's "Broadway Follies." George Labouseur is writing a weekly article of "advice to the lovelorn" for the Hamburg Eagle. Gene Griffin is selling "Not a Kink." a patent hair tonic, guaranteed to take the kinks out of 1928 Ford fenders; and Jack Roberts is a professional prize fighter of no mean ability. These were all of the boys that were on Armstrong's list. He said that he was going out to the school, and asked us to fly out with him. We accepted. As we flew over the campus we saw a group of enthusiastic students gathered about one of the numerous fountains. Upon landing we found that Buist Dowling was demonstrating Talitio's theory of sinking bodies to his Physics class. "Squads right," shrieked the voice of Dan Stoudemire (now the Com- mandant of the Regiment) to a bunch of green Freshmen. Dan developed his military ability because of his exceptionally high rating under our beloved Colonel Goodwyn. After winding in and out the dense undergrowth of shrub- bery, we finally reached the building. Imagine Julian's surprise when we walked into the office and found John Sheehan in the president's chair, with "Snappy" Marks behind the desk labeled "Dean." We had a long talk with John: he seemed to think that everything was getting along very nicely, except that he was still having a good deal of trouble with the boys smoking in officers' head- quarters. John said that he had several of our old class on his faculty. Jimmie Gardiner, better known to all his classmates as Jimmie Bryson, is teaching Mr. Markert's Math 41, and has succeeded Mr. M. T. Bryson as chairman of the Athletic Association. Marcovitch is teaching a course in Hebrew, and Henry Holmes has charge of the English department and is giving coaching lessons in oratory. Melvin Lyle has taken over Jake Begue's French department. Walk- ing on down the hall, we passed the gymnasium: Vernon Maddox was having indoor practice with his football squad. As we came back to the head of the main stairway, our attention was attracted to a stature in the middle of the hall: as we drew nearer, we recognized the handsome visage of Harry Rainwater, with this inscription written under it, "Sincerely dedicated by the Women of the Junior College." We took the air again. After bidding Armstrong good-bye, and thanking him for the lift back to town, we walked into Bill Zealy's interior decorating establishment, and ate dinner. While we were sitting there eating dinner, the paper boy came through the place yelling at the top of his voice. "Herald Extra! All about the triangle murder." Upon reading the account of the murder, we learned that Foster Williams, Gene Kuhlke, and Robert Farr were killed in a pistol fight in Warren French's "Speakeasy." We spent all the afternoon riding around in one of Carl Steinek's sight-seeing busses. After we had had supper at Rut Whaley's hash-slinging counter, we took in a movie which was featuring Laurens ^'oumans in David Whitney's picturization of "A Modern Apollo." It was such a "Drowsy drama" that we both fell asleep and didn't wake up until late the next morning, when Grady Collins came through cleaning out the theatre. BiLL Weltch.

April 1, 1928. The race for the cutest was nerve-racking. After the campaign managers had passed around, as is customary, cigars and soft drinks, the fight was on. From a small sparring match, a pitched battle devel- oped between the Girls' Council and the R. O. T. C. For a time it seemed as if the boys' candidate. Miss Rainsford, would be victorious: but the girls by a last- minute rally worsted Colonel Goodwyn's cadets and elected Mr. Read to this enviable position. Mr. Read proved a very disgruntled office-holder, welcoming the news of his election with the ungrateful remark, "Cute doesn't register with me." The infuriated co-eds called for a new election, and once again their candi- date, Mr. George Milton Scott, was elected. Mr. Scott in a formal acceptance speech declared that he stood firm for all the title implied. BEST ALL-ROUND Augusta. Ga.. April 1, 1928. On April 1, 1928, the campus of the Academy of Richmond County was the scene of a memorable struggle for the election of the best all-round. The two candidates were Dean Skinner and Mr. Etheredge. Mr. Etheredge's girth furnished ample reason for support, but in spite of his adherents' catchy slogan, "72 all-round," Mr. Skinner was swept to victory on the shoulders of the co-eds, THE MOST SELF-IMPORTANT Augusta. Ga.. April 1, 1928. The race for the most self-important was hotly contested from start to finish, the four leading candidates being Mr. Ellis, Mr. McLeod, Mr. Wells, and Mr. Read. After a bitter struggle in which the adherents of each became engaged in several fisticuffs, Mr. Ellis was elected by a narrow margin over Mr. McLeod, who led Mr. Read by one vote, TWO RUNAWAY RACES Augusta. Ga.. April 1, 1928. Receiving more than ten times the total number of votes of all his opponents, Mr. Eubanks was chosen the best jockey, while Mr. Anton Paul Markert was elected to fill the office of the most dignified. THE MOST IN LOVE Augusta. Ga,. April 1, 1928. The most in love on the faculty was judged to be Professor Charles Harold Mitchell, with Professor Henry Osgood Read a poor second. Calculus 62-A here again gave Professor Anton Paul Markert, their favorite son, a few votes. HOT RACE FOR THE SLANGIEST Augusta. Ga.. April 1, 1928. The race for the slangiest was a most heart- rending and thrilling affair. After a tense and bitter campaign, in which the partisans of each candidate stumped the campus, election day dawned bright and early at sunrise. The first few boxes showed seven candidates practically tied, Mr. Hardy, Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Eubanks, Mr. Wells, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Begue and Mr. Markert. But after the returns began coming in more steadily. Mr. Eubanks. Mr. Bt-gue and Mr. Markert drew away from the rest. Professor James Evans Eubanks, after leading for a while, yielded to Professor Anton Paul Markert. For a time it looked as if the Math students were going to return Mr. Markert victorious, but with the race two-thirds over. Professor Begue began gaining rapidly with the German classes, and took the lead. TWO-SIDED AFFAIR Augusta. Ga.. April 1, 1928. The race for the student nemesis was a two- sided affair between Mr. Sutton and Miss Boggs. but the male candidate won by a vote of 4 to 3. French 62 (Thursday) unanimously went to Mr. Bt-gue, while Mrs. Eubanks received her complimentary vote. R. G. M.

The fact that it never expects to have one makes the Defense Act necessary. The Defense Act is so far from militaristic that it fails to provide for anything hut a skeleton army. This army will never be called into existence unless our national security is threatened or our shores are attacked. Public sentiment against a large standing army and opposition to the expense of maintaining a large military force influenced every provision in the National Defense Act. Under this act our country is defended by the "Army of the United Slates, " which consists of. first, the regular Army: second, the National Guard: and third, the Organized Reserves. In the World War we had about 4,800,000 men in the armed forces and sent 2,000.000 across the ocean. More than 200.000 officers were required for these troops. Of this number over 150,000 had no previous military training with troops. (Authority: "The War With Ger- many," by Col. L. P. Aynes. G. S., U. S. A.) Although we entered the war in April, 1917, no men were called into service under the Selective Service Act until the following September because it was first necessary to train officers to lead them. During this time we took scarcely any part whatever in the fighting. It was over a year after declaration of war before any considerable body of our troops was well enough trained to participate in battle. The present Defense Act, under which the R. O. T. C. units are conducted, establishes a skeleton army of about 2,000,000 men. We now have only about 115,000 enlisted in the Regular Army, about 180.000 in the National Guard, and only a handful of enlisted men in the Organized Reserve. To bring the defense forces up to what is acknowledged as the minimum requirement, in case of emergency, we should have to draft and train after the declaration of war almost 2,000,000 inexperienced men. To have officers capable of taking charge of these new troops, should-the need arise, we must train about 5,000 reserve officers each year. This is the function of the R. O. T. C. The War Department in its R. O. T. C. activities is promoting no self- initiated plan, but merely carrying out the will of the people of the United States as expressed by Congress in the National Defense Act. Claims that military training in the schools makes the cadets war-like and rapacious are wholly without foundation. Not one of the long string of mur- ders which has been committed in this country by irresponsible youths in the last few years has been committed by an R. O. T. C. cadet. Nor is there any record of a single "red" speech having been made by an R. O. T. C. cadet. The cadet in the Reserve Officers' unit is there because he has a fine sense of patriotism and a high regard for his duties as a citizen. He believes that his country is entitled to his services and feels that the hours he spends in fitting himself to protect his flag are very little, indeed, compared to the privileges and protection they guarantee him.

I'Kf/r (till- lliillihril mill TirenllJ FOOTBALL Review of the Season With the departure of Coach Jules Carson. Chief mentor of Musketeer football, who, for many years had turned out championship teams at the "Old Historic," there was doubt present in local football circles as to the possibility of obtain- ing a successor who could ably fill the vacancy left by our beloved "Coach." This doubt, however, was soon dispelled with the advent of Coach T. W. Gressette, who came to us with an enviable record from LaGrange High School. Coach Gres- sette, ably assisted by coaches Sherlock and Simp- son, deserves much credit because he successfully overcame the difficulties which always confront the inauguration of a new system and a new coach. With the call for candidates on the 1 2th of September answered by a large group of husky hopefuls, the 1927 Musketeer football season was ushered in, a season to be counted as one of the most successful in the history of the school. Three weeks later, under a sweltering sun and clad in brand new uniforms, the team swung into action against the Tenth District Aggies, who though fighting gamely to the end, were forced to accept a 34 to defeat. Some twenty "Gresseteers " saw action in this game. The following week we met the cadets from G. M. C. in one of the hardest games ever played at Warren Park. This encounter, largely played in mid field, resulted in a scoreless tie. I'tiiff itiii Itiiiiitifil iiiitl TimUit fnitr On the following Saturday our now rapidly developing team met the gridders from Gordon Institute, who, although doped to win, were checked early in the fray and went down to a 3 1 to 6 defeat. On October 22, completely surprised by the unexpected showing of the Douglas Aggies and possibly over-confident because of our victory of the previous week over Gordon, we were forced to accept our second scoreless tie of the season. It was in this game that the strong Richmond defense showed itself by holding Douglas for downs on the six-yard line. Even as the defense had shown up in the Douglas game the preceding week, so now the offense began to function as it should against the Irish lads from Benedictine College of Savannah, scoring twenty-six points before the Irish were able to tally. Changing tactics however, in the fourth quarter, B. C. unleashed an aerial attack which netted them two touchdowns before the final gun ended the game in our favor, the score being 26 to 14. Our first and only trip of the season came on the following Friday when we journeyed to Statesboro to engage the powerful team of the Georgia State Teachers' Normal. Our team entered this game keyed to the highest pitch and determined to win. although all predictions were to the contrary. The game Ptif/r Our JlKUilrrtl anti Tirrnt!/-fi I'C resulted in one of the biggest upsets of the season, the final score being 14 to in our favor. Now began the hard grind in prepara- tion for the Savannah game. All early season reports gave indications that we were to go up against one of the most powerful machines that "Hoy Skule" had ever put out. For some while it looked as though the "Geechee" boys were going to live up to their "rep," when they tallied first in the person of their elusive and diminutive quarterback, "Speck" Dyer, who was a thorn in the side of our defense throughout the game. Their lead was short-lived, however, as Richmond came back strong, and two yellow-clad Musketeers carried the ball over the last chalk mark while Savannah was obliged to content itself with its one touchdown, the game ending 14 to 6 in favor of Richmond. Next on the list came the much respected cadets from Sandy Beaver's Riverside Military Academy. As we had advanced up to the same date of last year, undefeated, only to have our cham- pionship hopes dashed by a heart-break- ing 6 to defeat at the hands of the Gainesville boys, we were now deter- mined not to suffer again from them. Our grim determination was of no avail, however, as the team that Riverside put on the field Thanksgiving day was without a doubt the strongest and best- balanced prep team that has ever been seen in action at Warren Park. And though old Richmond went down in defeat, it was not to a disgraceful one, for they went down fighting gamely, every man, to the last whistle. River- side's offense evidenced itself in the second quarter when they scored three touchdowns, in rapid succession, by long ''ai/c One H until i'll iiiiil T irciit [/ six runs. Richmond came back strong, however, in the last half, holding the powerful offense scoreless, while we at one time, after a series of forward passes, almost succeeded in tallying. Thus ended one of the most successful seasons that A. R. C. football has known. With the new system now firmly established, and with a rejuve- nated schedule for the coming season, it looks as though a new era of football history is to be ushered in in Augusta. Next year the Musketeers will have the use of the new municipal stadium, in which they will meet, and. we hope, defeat Tech High, Riverside, Savannah High, and other teams of like caliber. R. B. S.

When at last -the call was sounded, a group of some thirty-odd hopefuls responded. From this group coaches Gressette and Simpson formed a team, headed by Captain R. B. Sheridan, which far outclassed any team heretofore selected to represent old Richmond and which, inci- dentally, was the best in Augusta. Our team was unquestionably the best in the city this year as they demonstrated first by making a clean sweep of the City League, winning eight games, and second, by defeating the Y. M. C. A. "Indians" twice in a three-game series for the open championship of the city. For winning the city league the team was awarded a handsome silver trophy and individual gold basket-balls. The schedule was composed of twenty games made up of the best teams found in this section of Georgia and South Carolina. Of the twenty games played, eighteen were won and only two lost. One of these lost games went to Savannah High, the other to the "Y" Indians in the second game of the series. And so. considering the number of games played and the standing of the teams played, such as Belmont College. Carlisle. Savannah High and Benedic- tine, this season can rightly be considered a very successful one. T'/.'/i- C/i. Iliniihril aiul Thiilii Much credit is due our two coaches who have built up the basket-ball standards of A. R. C. so much in just one year; and it is firmly be- lieved that by next year we shall have one of the best teams in Georgia.

The teams will be led this year by Captain Jack- y son. who can always be depended upon to make a good showing. Jack was a star last year, and is al- ready burning up the cinder path, although the season is not well advanced. We feel certain that Jack will lead his fellows on to victory. I'lKji tliir IIiiiuIkiI mill 'llihtil tiro Inasmuch as the track records of the season of 1928 will not have been completed until the middle of April, they can not very well be published in the present volume of The Rainbow. Previously, dur- ing the past few years, the track records of each year have been published in the Annual at the end of the season, as was the case with the 1927 RAINBOW. The achievements of the track squad of 1928 will be described and featured in the 1929 Rainbow. Pmic One Ilinitlrril nmt 'I'liirtihtltrrc Baseball and Tennis Owing to the fact that the 1927 Rainbow appeared at a much later date than the present volume, the record of last year's Baseball Team was pictured and featured in that issue. The 1928 Rainbow is being published at a much earlier date, corre- spondingly, and it is impossible, therefore, to publish here the records of this season. They will, of course, appear in the next issue of The Rainbow. This is a practice which is well-nigh universal in the editing of college annuals. Such is the situation, also, with respect to the Tennis Team. At the present writing it is well-known that there are excellent prospects for the building up of these two teams. Their achievements, we are sure, will redound to the glory of Old Rich- mond, as in the past.
