A finer gentle- man would be hard to find. .T, JERRY CLAIBORNE, B.A. Eighth Grade One of the best teachers at Augusta as well as the best Coach we have ever had. His work in football, basketball and tennis prove beyond any doubt that Augusta has the best ‘coach in all of these sports. Cham- pionships are becoming a regularity to AMA for his titles in football this past season and in basketball show what a coach can do when given the cooperation of the entire school. CAPT. CHARLES E. SAVEDGE, A.B. Biology, Chemistry, History State Honors in Biology and Chemistry are as common to Capt. Savedge as athletic titles are to Coach Claiborne. It has become the ex- pected to have students of this master instructor win a scholarship to William and Mary. Add to this his personal touch, which makes an ordinary dance into a “prom’’. His personal interest in cadets has helped many a cadet make the right decision. 18
