Augusta Military Academy - Recall Yearbook (Fort Defiance, VA)

The Classes The classes are really the backbone of the Academy, for here are the boys who make the Academy a living place. Boys from all parts of the world enter the Academy to learn. When they begin their learning of reading, writing and ’rith- metic, they learn another far greater and more important one to them—the lesson of joining together in brotherhood. When the boys entered the Academy their first year, they were, to a great extent, total strangers. As the time went quickly by, the boys changed. Now they are brothers; the Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen and Junior cadets take pride in their school. As the curtain descends on this year’s Senior Class, many happy, but sad boys will go out from their Academy. We hope this section will show them that they will be remembered. They have learned their lesson here; they will always find new friends elsewhere.

Diego’s the boy who can dance just about any dance known to man, from the mambo through rock and roll. There just isn’t an equal on the dance floor. “Tony” helped carry the AMA tennis team through two years of varsity play, and did a fine job on the championship rifle team. In two years, he has mastered English and we feel he'll get his great wish—to be an engineer.

Only one person could be talking—‘ Mad Dog”. Steve’s the boy who never loses his sense of humor. It makes no difference to Steve whether he is working on the coal pile or marching, he still has a joke to tell. Steve has great potentials, yet to be tapped. When Steve puts his foot on the gas, he will go a long way in life.

Bill, by far the largest cadet in the graduating class, has used his height to the greatest advantage on the football field and the basketball court. In his first season as a varsity basketball star, he has made the games a pleasure to watch. Better known as just plain “Babs”, he is truly the wittiest cadet at Augusta. Although he does not show it, Bill is one of the most sincere boys in the Corps. A very good student, Babs is bound for future honors. Babs
