The They Decided Wisely Our Course Of Action For Our Stay At Augusta Academic Board Probably the most important functioning unit at Augusta is the Academic Board. It is this organization that passes upon all matters relative to academic program of the Academy. It prepares the schedules of all cadets and makes suggestions for the improvement of the academic system as well as all matters which pertain to the development and welfare of the school. Heading this group of faculty is the chairman: Lt. Col. Herbert D. Deane; the vice-chairman is Lt. Col. J. C. McCue, Jr.; the secretary is Major Paul V. Hoover; the remaining members of the board are Maj. H. B. McCrum, Major F. M. Sizer, Lt. Col. W. L. Gardner, Capt. J. D. Kramer, Capt. Robert 5. Hart, and Capt. C. E. Savedge. It is up to them whether or not we shall be eligible to receive our diplomas on Graduation day in June. We owe them a debt of gratitude which cannot be expressed except by the simple words: “Thanks for all that you have done for us and Augusta”. Top—Col. Deane, Col. McCue, Major Hoover. Middle—Col. Gardner, Maj. McCrum, Maj. Sizer. Lower—Capt. Hart, Capt. Kramer, Capt. Savedge. 1952 Recall

English As mathematics and English are our two most important subjects as preparation for college, Col. Deane, head of the Department of English supervises our study in this subject that we are well prepared for ad- vanced work when we leave Augusta. His advice as well as his in- struction will prove valuable. LT. COL. J. €. MeCUE, JR. B.S. M.S. Science, Mathematics Realizing the importance of science in today’s education, Col. Mc- Cue goes all-out to see that we are not only well versed in Physics but that we understand that a continuation of such subjects are the necessi- ties of a well educated man of today. We also see him at each football game, wrestling meet and the greatest of his loves—baseball. MAJOR PAUL V. HOOVER, A.B., M. A. Mathematics, Spanish Major Hoover shows his interests in all of the cadets by not only teaching them academics but by finding time to coach them in Tiger Football, Fencing and Lacrosse—not to mention his invaluable work with the Bayonet, the Recatt and the Y.M.C.A. The latter would be lost without his work and counsel. His work in academics is evidenced by the success of his students in college. MAJOR H. B. McCRUM, L.L.B. Mathematics Think of another part of a cadet’s uniform and up comes the name of Major McCrum. His patience in that department is only equalled by his performance in the teaching of Algebra in which subject he has few equals. His work as Academic Board Adviser with the Honor Committee has helped many a boy on the road to happiness and success. 16
