Class History 96 ln the fall of l929. a green wave rolled over the Junior College of Augusta. sub- merging it completely in a deluge of laughter and wild boasts. This wave. as you have probably guessed, was the Freshman Class. Nlost of us entered college confi- dent thatrwe were educated far above the average. and that the two years would be merely a glorious frolic. But alas, we had reckoned without that math, that science. or that science. and, instead of rushing to a glorious finish. we found ourselves strug- gling to hold our own. How suddenly we were brought to our knees! Finally we realized that the teachers did appreciate our ability. but also that we would have to bring all our marvelous talents into the battle in order to cross the barriers between us and that coveted diploma. Some of our members. who felt that their studies did not require all their time. went out of the regular curriculum to uphold our honor in athletics. oratorical con- tests, dramatic activities, and the Glee Club. During our Freshman year. the names Boyd, Kelley, and Nixon were associated with some brilliant victories on the grid- iron. Averett, Fleming, Anderson. and Vffhittaker were our contribution to the basket- ball squad. The Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Contest in Atlanta found lrvin Abeloff bringing glory to our school by winning second place. Names too numerous to mention here were prominent in the Dramatic Club. Clee Club. and the Literary Societies. Our unobtrusive nature prohibits us from naming our other accomplish- ments. Two events of special importance marked our Sophomore year. A new ad- ministration greeted us on the opening day. Mr. J. L. Skinner succeeded Dr. George P. Butler as President of the schools. and Mr. E. W. Hardy succeeded Mr. Skinner as Dean. We also witnessed the dedication of the Academy Stadium on October llth. The Athletic Association deserves much credit for making possible this fine athletic field, which we feel is worthy of any Senior college in the South. Again we were well represented in athletics with Fleming. Anderson. Boyd. Dowling, Nelson, Blanchard and McKellar doing their bit. lrvln Abeloff was chosen for the second time to represent our school in the oratorical contest. Several mem- bers of our class helped to make the presentation of the Dramatic Club successful. During our Sophomore year, we inaugurated lnter-Collegiate debates. lrvin Abeloff. who worked hard to bring this activity to our school. was chosen captain of the team. With such efficient officers as Irvin Abeloff, President, Miss Betty Dunbar. Vice-President, Miss Agnes Story, Treasurer, and Joel McKellar. Secretary, we feel that we have run the race successfully. -H istorian. Fifteen
