What is “the Academy”? To us, the Cadets of Augusta, the Academy takes on various meanings. It means ‘our home away from home”, our fortress of education, The Academy is that spirit of love and friendship which serves to bind us together. Our Academy is the friendly school. The purpose of Augusta is to take young men of all walks of life and mold them into men worthy to be called men. To accomplish this purpose, many outstanding men and women are required. These are our Faculty, that loyal body that guides and teaches every boy in the Academy. From our Principal to our youngest faculty member, every position is filled by a capable gentleman of the highest calibre and integrity. They are our guiding lights. They are responsible for our Academy. This is what our Academy means to us. This is why we love it so. To sum it up: Our Faculty; the Boys; Augusta—THE ACADEMY! oe r Tar ea Eon EE bac — Bs . fee 2 oe he ee SS sa RR ee oath Pe ; . : A AC a NO A NB ae bia
