The GADAWHEE Published by the Student Body ot Hendersonville, N. C. V V Foreword A book that recalls old friendships and surroundings and rekindles fires smouldering under the mold of time. A book that contains memory-laden scenes and faces and happenings. A book that is treasured more as yeai ' s go by because it presents again a period of our lives which we hold most dear. Such a book was our ideal. How near we have attained this ideal we leave to your judg¬ ment. May its faults be forgotten in the pleasant memories it conveys; may it serve as a bond between you and old Blue Ridge School.

Sandifer His quietness and resolution, his fairness and understanding, his attributes idealistic in their highness, these are the characteristics for which we respect, admire, and revere him; these are the char¬ acteristics which have placed him in the highest regard of the whole student body. As a small token of our gratitude and apprecia¬ tion, we dedicate this, the initial volume of the ‘‘Gadawhee” to our esteemed Headmaster.

The success that has attended the school from the outset of its existence bears testimony to the fact that it is serving a useful purpose in the educational world and that its ideals are based upon sound principles. The first student body consisted of about fifteen boys who for the greater part came from families known to the founders. The first teaching staff was composed of Mr. Sandifer, Mr. Randolph, Mr. H. C. Long, -Jr., of Charlotte, and Mr. E. R. Jeter, of Santuc, S. C. Almost from the very outset there sprang into existence an espirit de corps that elicited much favorable comment, and the first session proved a very pleasant and satisfactory one in every res¬ pect. The second year brought a substantial increase in the enrollment. With two or three exceptions all the old boj r s returned, and the number of new boys increased the enrollment to about thirty. At the end of the second year the first commencement exercises were held when diplomas were presented to the first graduates, Messrs. Fred L. Justus, Guy M. Masten, and William N. Poindexter, Jr. In the year 1917 military training was introduced under the stress of war conditions and the athletic field was converted into a drill ground for the time being. After the echoes of war had faded away the khaki uniforms and wooden guns were soon discarded and pre-war conditions restored. In the same year the school gained recognition from the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the South and was placed on the list of southern ac¬ credited schools, an honor it has since retained. Several years later it was given membership in the Association. As tlie school grew in popularity and in the esteem and goodwill of its patrons and friends, the enrollment soon reached capacity numbers and for a year or two it was unable to accomodate all those applying for admission. Plans were formulated for its enlargement. In 1921 the annex and rear ex¬ tension were constructed and the old building remodeled. This enlargement provided space for twenty-five additional boys and also made possible more efficient school work. The latest addition to the school’s equipment is the recreational hall, which was erected three years ago.

We are leaving, but we ' ll never Fail to hold her near our heart. We have studied, played together, Learning lessons day by day; That through life will guide us ever Till our hair is gray. Friends we’ve gained, we’ll ever cherish, As the years roll by; Memories that will never perish; Thoughts that never die. W r e must go, and we must scatter, Scatter far and wide, it seems, But thy vision, Alma Mater, Fairest will be of our dreams. The path has not been strewn with roses, And we have at times felt blue, Though the door behind ns closes, To Blue Ridge we’ll be ever true. R. M. Albright ' 26.

SCOTT Secretary MISS NEALE FEW Sponsor Twenty-Three ’MJM JLLM2MIMIM2JVJL The Gadawhee 1926 m History of the Class of ’26 Blue Ridge will long remember the boys who went out in ’26 as graduates. Their achievements, their loyalty, their sociability, have helped to fill a page of her history that will be referred to often in the coming years. They have set a new precedent in the annals of the school. During its four years the Class of ’26 has seen the advent of a new Blue Ridge. The class leaves athletic prospects under the able leadership of Coach Lawrence, that were never brighter; a school paper, self-supporting, and a credit to the institution; an example of scholarship that attains no mean stan¬ dard ; and they publish the first annual since the foundation of the school. In 1922 ten freshmen arrived at Blue Ridge to become the nucleus of the Class of ’26: Case, Cathey, Erckman, Ewbank, Garren, Kelly T., Schenck, Scott, Smyth, and James Ward. This Class has grown until now it contains twenty- seven members, the largest graduating class in the history of the school. In athletics ’26 has given much to Blue Ridge. One has but to recall the names of Jim Ward and Bob Cathey to revive a spark of football enthus¬ iasm. In baseball and basketball the wonderful playing of Cyrus Case will long be remembered. Along with these, the names of Smyth, Garren, Ward II., Boyd, Hayes, Eden, and Brown will come to the mind of every member of ' 26 when sports at Blue Ridge are mentioned. In literary achievements the Class has also made important contributions. Albright, a one year man, leaves Blue Ridge having been largely responsible for the publication of a school paper and her first annual. The splendid work of this boy and his associates on the staffs of the Blue Ridgian and the Gada¬ whee is worthy of commendation. The Blue Ridge Literary Society, organized in lJ2o, is another accomplishment of the Class, and space forbids mentioning the excellent work of its members in this organization. Socially, the Class has been successful in every respect. The members of the football team have been entertained by civic organizations of Hendersonville, and the Class has been the guest, on numerous occasions, of the Fassifern girls at entertainments given at the school; and too, the Blue Ridge dances have been delightful affairs. Through the medium of state clubs, a social club, and other groups, much has been accomplished. A ith these successes, there have also been failures to be sure. But the real history of the class can not be so summarily written, as it is the record of the lives and struggles of youth. The greatest pride of the class is the boys who are m it. The greatest chapter of this history is yet to be written—the chapter of life—in college and the business world. Those who came to Blue Ridge seeking knowledge, go away well equipped with that knowledge which they sought, with self-confidence, and with experi¬ ence, ready to enter higher institutions of learning or to smilingly meet life with their own resourcefulness. And is it boastful to say that the present be¬ speaks of a future that is bright with the prospect of lives of achievement and service? But whatever may betide, every member of the Class will ever be a loyal son of Blue Ridge, a loyal son of ’26. Twenty-Four The Gad J7M7B7M7W7M7W ROBERT MAYNE ALBRIGHT “Mayne” Raleigh, N. C. Football Squad ’25; Basketball Squad ' 26; Literary Society; Cotillion Club; Tar Heel Club; Editor-in-Chief Gadawhee; Editor-in-Chief Blue Ridgian. “The world means something to the capable.” Mayne is truly one of the big men at Blue Ridge. He has participated in all forms of athletics, but his work along liter¬ ary lines is most outstanding as the above statistics will show. A pleasing person¬ ality and a hard worker, he has made many friends and an enviable school record and the Class and Blue Ridge will miss him mightily. We’re with you, Mayne, make good. HARRY BAILEY “Slim” Penland, N. C. Football Squad ' 25; Basketball Squad ' 26; Tar Heel Club; Blue Ridgian Staff; Gadawhee Staff. “Friends have I made.” “Slim,” the school’s tallest and wittiest. It will be many a day before we forget his laugh-producing remarks. However, “Slim” has not confined himself to evoking merri¬ ment but has taken an active part in all other activities. We will always remem¬ ber him as a fine companion and boy, and expect big things of him. WILLIAM BURKE BOYD “Burke” Miami, Fla. Baseball ' 24. ' 25; Basketball ' 24, ’25; Basketball Squad ’26; Prefect Board; President, Florida Club; Business Manager Gadawhee; Business Manager, Blue Ridgian ; Literary Society. “Out of breath to no purpose arid very busy about nothing.” “Burke,” another four year man, has al¬ ways had the best interests of Blue Ridge at heart. His work as business manager of both the Gadawhee and Blue Ridgian has been largely responsible for their suc¬ cess, and he has given his best to school athletics. “Burke’s” determination to suc¬ ceed should carry him high in the business world. jyjy y y j V _VV VVW .W W W Vi W W AV WVi W Vi Twenty-Five AARON CYRUS CASE “Cy” Hendersonville, N. C. Football ' 24; Baseball ' 24, ’ 2 : ; Basketball ’24, ' 25; Prefect Board ’20 ; Tar Heel Club; Secretary-Treas¬ urer Cotillion Club. “Not over serious, not frivolous, but a rare good fellow.” The baseball star of Blue Ridge. If ‘ ' Cy’’ continues the pace he has set, the big- leagues will soon have a second Walter Johnson. Possessing a delightful person¬ ality—always pleasant, always smiling— this is “Cy.” The best wishes of every boy in school follow him as he leaves. GEORGE CLARENCE BROWN “Brownie Raeford, N. C. Varsity Football ' 25; Literary Society; Tar Heel Club. “Sometimes I sit and think; sometimes 1 just sit.” “Brownie’s” cheerful disposition and ready smile have made him many friends at Blue Ridge. Some day we intend to pay a visit to the office of “Dr. Brown” and find him a successful physician. We are certain that he will achieve all that we ex¬ pect of him. ROBERTSON SHUELL CATHEY “Bob” Hendersonville, N. C. Varsity Football ’23, ’24, ' 25; Captain Football ' 24; Tar Heel Club; Vice-President Day Students Club. “A hale fellow well met. It will be a long time before we forget “Bob’s” spectacular work on the gridiron. Carlisle will never forget it. Faithful to Blue Ridge for four years, his going leaves a place that will be hard to fill. Luck to you ’’Bob.” T wenty-Six “The Gad 1926 a w h e e TZMZMZM M MTMZWL GEORGE LESLIE CONLEY “George” Marion, N. C. Tar Heel Club “Know the true value of tune; no idleness; no laziness, no procrastination.” We are deeply indebted to Marion, N. C. for sending us this lad. A brilliant stu¬ dent, a hard worker, he has made an envi¬ able record during his one year stay. We believe in him and know that he will make us proud of him. HENRY HARMON EDEN “Hap” Clio, S. C. Varsity Football ' 25; Basketball ' 26; Literary Society; Vice-President South Carolina Club; Cotillion Club; Cadawhee Staff. “To do well is to succeed.” All the way from Clio came “Hap.” Be¬ sides being an excellent student; a valu¬ able member of the Literary Society; and a member of the Gadawhee Staff, ‘“Hap” has distinguished himself in athletics. We let him go with our best wishes knowing that our loss will be some one else’s gain. ROBERT BULL ERCKMAN “Boh” Hendersonville, N. C. Football Squad 25 ; South Carolina Club; Cotillion Club; Day Students Club. “Arguing is the spice of life.” “Bob’s” love of argument should win him a place as a great lawyer some day. He has been a faithful member of ’26 for four- years and his likeable qualities and cheer¬ ful disposition have won him a host of friends at Blue Ridge. He leaves a place that will be hard to fill. Twenty-Seven JfT 7 7B7 ZWrW ¥lW7Mi W The Gadawhee 1926 % JEFFERSON CHOICE EVINS “Ev” Gaffney, S. C. Soutli Carolina Club “A cheerful disposition is a fund of ready capital.” We expect some day to see “Ev” the leader of a marimba band. With his ready smile he is a friend to everybody. Besides he is a hard worker and entirely unassum¬ ing. Here’s success to you Choice—we know you will make good. HARRY HUTTON EWBANK “Harry” Hendersonville, N. C. Tar Heel Club; Literary Society; Day Students Club. “Still waters run deep.” Quiet and diligent, Harry believes in sticking to his work and has little time for doing any thing else. If persistency means anything, Harry is born to succeed. Some day we will hear, not of something spec¬ tacular, but of his hard won and well de¬ served success. GEORGE FULTON GARREN “Scrub” Hendersonville, N. C. Varsity Football ’23, ’24, ’25; Tar Heel Club; Day Students Club. “We are deceived by the appearance of reticence “Scrub” has been with us four years and his quiet good humor has placed him high in the estimation of all those who have known him. For three years he has fought for Blue Ridge on the gridiron and brought credit to himself and the school. We will always remember “Scrub” as a fine boy and a true friend. Twenty-Eight y ✓ ✓ AW WWW WVWVkWWW “The Gad 1926 a w TZMnEMZMZMZWHL JOHN BOND GILLAM “Bond” Windsor, N. C. Tar Heel Club; Cotillion Club; Cheer Leader. “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” What will we do without Bond? He has added much to the pleasantness of our school life by his friendliness and cheery disposition. A boy with your personality, Bond, can not help but make good. Our best wishes accompany you through life. ROBERT GRIFFITH HAYES “Boh” Charlotte, N. C. Football Varsity ' 25; Captain-Elect, Football; Vice- President, Senior Class; Secretary-Treasurer, Tar Heel Club; Secretary-Treasurer, Student Body. “When Nature him began, she meant to show all that might he in a man.” “Bob” is one of the finest boys we have ever known and we are proud to call him class-mate and friend. His sheer manli¬ ness and exceptional good nature have won him the admiration and respect of all; his sportsmanship and football ability have won for him a place on the All-Southern team. We are proud of you “Bob” and wish you well. BRANTLEY GEORGE HICKS “Brantley” Louisburg, N. C. Tar Heel Club; Cotillion Club. “The best is yet to be.” Brantley is a good student, quiet and diligent. He takes life as it comes to him, making the best of what he finds in it. If he works in later life as he has here, he will be a big success. Twenty-Nine zMZZZW fjr jr w7Wj £gzjrs ' jr Mj LANGDON CHEVIS HUBBARD “Langdon” Fayetteville, N. C. Football Squad ' 25 ; Literary Society; Tar Heel Club ; (Jadawhee Staff; Cotillion Club. “A loyal, just and upright gentleman” Langdon has by diligent study identified himself as a scholar, and is numbered among the best in literary circles. When he attempts a thing, it may be considered well done. We are counting on you, Lang¬ don, to make good at Davidson as you have done here. THEODORE EDWARD KELLY “Ted” Asheville, N. C. Football Squad ' 24. ' 25; Basketball Squad ' 25, ' 26- Baseball Squad ’24, ’25; Literary Society; Cotillion Club; Tar Heel Club; Gadawhee Staff. “A happy disposition is a prism that reflects the blue rays.” “Ted’s’’ motto seems to be, “Have fun while you can, you don’t live long.” Dur¬ ing his four years at Blue Ridge his jolly nature and sparkling wit have made our stay more enjoyable. He has been a good student, and besides, has contributed greatly to athletics. Ted is leaving behind him a fine record for others to strive for. DONALD LACY McBRYDE “Mac” Linden, N. C. Tar Heel Club; Literary Society. “I care for nobody, no not I, If nobody cares for me.” Lacy is one of the few boys who have already chosen their profession, that of law. His love of books, and especially those dealing with law are points in his favor. Reserved and a hard-worker— these are the traits which will bring him success after he has left us. Thirty CALVIN STERGIS McLAUGHLIN “Cal” Charlotte, N. C. Literary Society; Tar Heel Club. “Tis modesty that makes him seem divine.” “Cal” is not the kind that goes in for show and talk, but in his unassuming way he accomplishes much. He has made him¬ self known by his quiet and well-mannered actions. No matter where he goes or what he does we know he will succeed. Here ' s to you “Cal.” HERBERT AUGUST MEYER “Rev” Louisville, Ky. Manager Baseball ’26; President, Literary Society; President, Cosmopolitan Club; Prefect Board; Assis¬ tant Editor-in-Cliief Gadawhee. “If you want anything done right, do it yourself.” Herbert has been the busiest boy m school, but he has found time to make many friends and to win the admiration of all alike. Running the school store, get¬ ting up the demerit list, managing baseball, and typewriting everything, is an every day job for him, and whatever he attempts he does well. We can see only the bright¬ est of futures for “Rev.” ELIZABETH SANDIFER RANDOLPH Elizabeth Hendersonville, N. C. “Demure and quiet is she—and yet methinks There’s something more beneath.” Elizabeth, our only class-mate of the gentler sex, is the first girl to ever gradu¬ ate from Blue Ridge. She has been a hard and conscientious worker and has excelled in scholarship each year that she has been with us. Blue Ridge will miss her, but we know she will do well wherever else she may go. Thirty-One MICHAEL SCHENCK, JR. “Mike” Hendersonville, N. C. Literary Society; Tar Heel Club; Day Students Club. “Give everyone a kind ivord; it hurts neither of you.” Mike” is a boy of few words, yet one who has made a host of friends. He is quiet and easy going, but one who is strong in backing his school and class to the ut¬ most. We hate to lose him. He is made of the stuff that brings success. SELWYN SUTTON SCOTT “Scott” Roanoke, Va. Football Squad ’24; Football Manager ” 25 ; Tar Heel Club; Secretary-Treasurer, Senior Class; Business Staff Gadawhee. “He hath a great attraction for the ladies.” “Buck” Scott, that good-looking boy from Roanoke. One half of “Scott’s” heart be¬ longs to the girls; the other half to his many friends. Besides these qualities, underneath there is a certain grave earnestness that is sure to carry him for¬ ward through the future. We wish him well. THOMAS LEBBY SMYTH “Tom” Hendersonville, N. C. Varsity Football ’24, ’25 ; Track ' 25 : Tar Heel Club ; Cotillion Club; President, Day Students Club. “The thing that goes farthest in muking life worth ivhile is just a pleasant smile.” “Tom” is as fine a boy as we have ever known. Pleasant, versatile, hard-working, he has more than made good in his stay at Blue Ridge. We predict a great future for you, “Tom,” and wish you all the success and happiness in the world. Thirty-Two -- T h e Gad a w h e e SZSSSSSSSSSSSSE VIRGIL ST. CLOUD, JR. “Saint” Columbus, Ga. Tar Heel Club; Cotillio n Club. “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined.” Although he has been with us only one year, “Saint’’ has made many friends and an excellent scholastic record. ' His one fail¬ ing- is music, and Blue Ridge will miss (?) the “plank-plank” of his banjo when he has gone. He intends to enter the Univer¬ sity of N. C. and we know he will make good; just as he has here. Go to it “Saint.” HAROLD THOMAS WARD “ Harold” Hendersonville, N. C. Football Squad ' 24; Varsity Football ' 25; Basketball ' 25, ’25 ; Baseball ’25 ; Literary Society ; Sports Editor Blue Ridgian; Gadawhee Staff; Tar Heel Club; Cotillion Club. “I would rather be than seem to be.” Ready to stand for what he thinks right, Harold has won the friendship and respect of every Blue Ridge boy. In him we have a boy to be proud of, dependable on the Varsity football squad and one of the lead¬ ers in literary circles. We predict a bril¬ liant future for Harold. JAMES K. WARD “ Jimmie” Hendersonville, N. C. Football Varsity ’22, ’22, ’24, ’25; Baseball ’24; Basketball Manager ' 20; President, Student Body; l’resident Senior Class ; Prefect Board; Business Staff, Gadawhee; President, Tar Heel Club; Literary Society. “Who conquers me will have a stubborn foe.” A true son of old Blue Ridge is “Jimmie” embodying in his life her every ideal and striving always to advance her interests. In prep-school football he has few equals and we will never forget his stellar play¬ ing on the gridiron. A glance at the above statistics is enough to show his popularity, and the student body has given him the highest of honors by electing him its presi¬ dent. A finer man than “Jim” never graced the campus. Thirty-Three nr7 72r 2M lM2MZMl “T he Gadawhee 1926 g™ Prophecy Since it seems to be the custom in this modern age of 1936 to tour the world by airplane, and having recently come into a modest fortune, I too, decided to take a trip by this route. Knowing that my own small plane would not stand up under such an exten¬ sive journey as 1 had anticipated, 1 went for advice to one of my old class¬ mates, George Conley, now president of the United Aeroplane Co., Tnc. He was enthusiastic over the idea and said that he had just the machine I would need. When I asked him about a dependable pilot, he was at loss for a moment as to whom 1 could secure, but suddenly he asked, ‘‘You remember Burke Boyd, the hard little prefect at Blue Ridge, don’t you? He is the best pilot and mechanic we have, and perhaps he will be able to take you.” Burke was summoned, and after we had exchanged greetings and talked of old times, 1 put my proposition before him. He readily consented to accom¬ pany me on the trip. After a few days of preparation, we took off for Europe and soon caught a fleeting glimpse of the housetops of London. Leaving London, we flew across the English Channel, France, Italy, Albania, Greece, and part of the Mediter¬ ranean Sea into Asia; across Persia and Afghanistan into India, when, sud¬ denly, we noticed a speed cop on our trail and, in order to escape trouble, de¬ cided to land. Upon alighting, we found ourselves very near the little village of Khatmandu, far famed for its magic workers and crystal gazers. The populace, recognizing us as Americans, conducted us to the American Ambassador from Calcutta, who was spending a short vacation in Khatmandu. When ushered into the presence of the dignitary,imagine our amazement on see¬ ing seated before us none other than Herbert Meyer. We were over¬ joyed to find such a friend in that strange city and he welcomed us like long lost brothers. Our conversation gradually drifted on to the mysteries of India and especially of the small town in which Fate had placed us. Herb spoke so sincerely about the apparently supernatural powers of a certain magic man that I decided to stay over a day and visit him. Early the next morning, as planned, we went to the mysterious abode of the wizard. We were met at the door by a turbaned servant who ushered us into a richly furnished room. The floors were covered with strangely de¬ signed rugs fully two inches in thickness; the walls were tapestried in rich cloths of varied Oriental coloring. On a slender pedestal in the middle of the room was a crystal ball about eight inches in diameter, gleaming like a huge diamond. A divan stood on one side of the room upon which lolled the re¬ clining figure of a hawk-nosed, swarthy-facecl Hindoo. In a momonet I saw that his eyes were those of a dreamer. We stood before him some moments before he was aware of our presence, and then, with startling suddenness he arose and bowed graciously. Herb, the spokesman for our party, explained in the native tongue that I wished to try the power of the magic crystal. Without speaking a word, the Hindoo moved across the room and stood before the crystal, where he performed some mystic rites; after which he beckoned me to the opposite side of the pedestal. He gazed into my eyes, making mystic passes before my face, and, try as I Thirty-Four SS ✓ ✓ AW V V V V XV w v might, I could not- move my eyes from those staring orbs before me. The whole room seemed to be reeling, but still, that piercing look held me in its power. Suddenly he paused and pointed to the crystal; my eyes followed his pointing finger but 1 was too dazed to discern anything but the faint outline of the sphere. As my vision cleared, the crystal seemed diffused with passing clouds and vague outlines like those one sees on gazing sleepily through the window of a rapidly moving train. Slowly this vagueness merged into a blurred panorama of four large streets intersecting. Within a maze of traffic which poured from all direc¬ tions, I discerned an extraordinary tall, blue-clad figure directing cars with an apparently effortless movement of his arms. There was a familiarity about the man which attracted my attention, and, when he halted traffic to help across the street a cork-legged old man carrying an armful of newspapers, I knew that he could be no other than “Slim Bailey, and the old man his be¬ loved room-mate “Corky Evins. As Slim was returning to his post, a low-slung, high-powered racer whirled around the corner and collided with a lamp post. What “Slim” said, as he strode over to the wrecked car and pulled out the two luckless occupants, I surmised by the expression on his face. When the two unfortunates had re¬ covered from the shock and were standing before my friend, I recognized them as 1 om Smyth and Robert Erckman, members of 26, who, judging by their costly clothing and expensive car, had become quite prosperous in their respective businesses. The picture faded; the crystal cleared; then another scene began to mater¬ ialize. I saw throngs of wildly cheering people in a large stadium which sur¬ rounded an athletic field, and, upon closer inspection, I realized I was a spec¬ tator at a thrilling football game. The scene moved nearer and I was able to see every action of the players. The offensive team punted, and the ball was gathered into the waiting arms of a powerfully built, black-haired, safety man who immediately started for the opposite goal. He had, by means of much side-stepping and clever running, succeeded in eluding all of the oppos¬ ing players and seemed certain of the goal, when a small figure took up the chase and with a flying tackle brought him down on the one yard line. As the two arose, their faces for a moment were turned in my direction and I rec¬ ognized them as “Jimmie Ward and “Jackrabbit Brown, two of our old Hilltoppers. Just then there appeared on my field of vision the fleshy head-linesman, whom I saw was no other than “Scrub” Barren. “Dot” had consented to allow him an afternoon leave from the ‘‘Garren Real Estate Offices, Inc.” to officiate at the game. As before the moving eye of a camera, I found myself again looking at the stands. In a section reserved for school girls I saw Eliza¬ beth Randolph, now principal of Randolph College for Women; the same trim Elizabeth we knew at Blue Ridge back in ’26. In a different section of the stands I saw the band, whose members ap¬ peared so full of music that they could hardly express it through their instru¬ ments and were careening and swaying from side to side. The real life of the musicians was the leader, and from his contortions, I feared that some¬ thing other than music pervaded his soul. I recognized this swaying figure Thirty-Five as Virgil St. Cloud. So “Saint” had at last realized his ambition and become a musician. Swiftly the scene of the football battle changed to that of a smoke filled office where sat a very worried looking man with his feet propped up on a desk. On the door were these words, “SPORT EDITOR, HENDERSONVILLE NEWS.” It was Harold Ward. Suddenly, a newsboy burst into the room bringing the latest edition from the press, which carried the glaring headlines: JUDGE SCHENCK FACES CRUCIAL TEST “Bob” Cathey and Selwyn Scott, Two of His Former Classmates Appear Before Him Today for the Fourth Time on the Charge of Bootlegging. McBryde, Likewise a Classmate of the Miscreants, Will Appear for the Defense in Their Behalf. It seemed to be a great day for the Blue Ridge Class of ’26. I read on, “Harry Ewbank, famous real estate dealer, convicted on charge of selling ‘high and dry’ real estate in Florida.” (High and dry when the tide went out.) Harold was evidently familiar with the details, for after finishing the head¬ lines, he turned to the sport page. Here was the picture of a baseball player, and under it, these words, Cyrus Case, former Blue Ridge star pitcher, is traded by Balfour Mills to the Brevard All-Stai’s.” He scanned the next page and this article caught my eye: REX THEATRE — Today and Tuesday A Calvin McLaughlin Production, Featuring “Handsome Bob Hayes” in a Special “Shoot ’Em Up Wild Westerner.” Special Prices for Blue Ridge Boys. The office scene merged into that of a circus. Crowds of men, women, and children were hurrying toward big canvas tents, and in the midst of them who should I see but Brantley Hicks, sandwiched between two large signs, and selling popcorn and peanuts. At this moment the inevitable clown made his appearance in a grotesque loose-fitting costume. The make-up and dress of this funny individual failed to hide the features and bow-legs of Ted Kelly. At last Ted had a job where he could laugh and talk to his heart’s content, and not even be expected to stop. A glaring red sign on the front of one of the side shows next, attracted my attention: PROFESSOR ALBRIGHT, SAXOPHONIST Hear All of the Old Tunes of 1926 and See a Revival of the Ancient Charleston. As the circus scene became blurred, from out of the mystery of the magic ball appeared the interior of a rural church. In the pulpit I recognized my old friend “Cousin John” Gillam, now the Rev. J. B. Gillam. Bond seemed to be delivering a forceful sermon and to be directing his remarks especially to a young couple with four children, sitting on the front pew. To my aston¬ ishment it was Langdon Hubbard and his family. The picture faded; I found myself gazing into a plain crystal ball, and I suddenly realized that I had seen pictured before me my Blue Ridge classmates of 1926. II. H. EDEN, Class Prophet.

Football Resume 1 he lootball season of 1925 was the most successful in the history of the school. In spite of the hard schedule, the Hilltoppers under the leader¬ ship of Coach Lawrence won nine out of the ten games played, and at the same time ran up the remarkable score of 327 points to their opponents 29. Much credit is due to Coach Shorty Lawrence for the team’s brilliant showing, for with a small squad, including only five letter men, he developed a team that finished second in the race for the Southern prep-school cham¬ pionship. In the opening contest, Blue Ridge defeated Christ School by the score of 13 to 0, and although not measuring up to the expected form, the Ridgers showed signs of promise. The following week brought the Farm School to Hendersonville only to go back home with the little end of a 37 to 0 score. The Hilltoppers made five touchdowns during the first part of the game, but in the second halt were able to add only one more. Blue Ridge’s next victory came when they overwhelmingly defeated Gaffney High School, 39 to 0. In this game the Hilltoppers played in real form, never failing to gain. The features of the game were long runs by Ward j. and Nowell. The first game away from home was with Bailey Military Institute, and Fifty-One ✓ . A ft ft W V, Vv The Varsity although it was hard fought, the Ridgers did not show the team work which was evident in the two preceding games. A thirty yard pass to McLucas and a line plunge by Cathey netted the only scores of the game, which ended 13 to 0 in favor of the Ridgers. Probably the best game of the season was played when the team journeyed to Orangeburg, S. C. and won over the strong Carlisle eleven, 13 to 6. In the first half, with the hall on Blue Ridge’s five yard line, Cathey intercepted a pass and made a spectacular run of ninety-seven yards for the first touchdown of the game. Carlisle retaliated with a sixty-five yard run to the goal line, and the score stood dead-locked, until, with only two minutes to play, Captain Swink recovered a blocked punt on Carlisle’s ten yard line. In three line plunges the Blue Ridge hacks carried the hall across for the deciding touchdown. This game gave Blue Ridge Southern promin¬ ence for Carlisle had defeated the best prep school teams in the South. The Hi 11 toppers then came hack to Hendersonville and defeated the Boiling Springs eleven by the one sided score of 82 to 7. Following up the Boiling Springs game, Blue Ridge trounced the Ml. Pleasant Collegiate Institute, 42 to 0. A forty-five yard pass from McLucas Fifty-Two to Swink was the feature of an attack of runs and passes launched by the Hilltoppers, which could not be stopped. The team ' s next victory was over strong Greenville, S. C., High School eleven. A held goal netted Greenville’s only score, while Blue Ridge marked up four touchdowns and won 27 to 3. Blue Ridge s first defeat, and that which cost her the championship of three states, was received at the hands of Oak Ridge in their annual clash at Gharlotte. In the first quarter, Jimmie Ward, Blue Ridge quarterback, made a spectacular return of a kickoff for a gain of fifty-five yards and placed the ball within scoring distance. After several gains Eden carried the ball across the three yard line, making the score 7-6 Blue Ridge. In the last of the second quarter, two Blue Ridge backs ran together receiving a punt and Oak Ridge recovered on the 20 yard line. This unfortunate break cost Blue Ridge the game. The final score was 13 to 6. Thanksgiving Day brought the season to a close with a 54 to 0 win over Asheville High School. This last game was played on a muddy held and in a drizzling rain which hindered the running of the Blue Ridge backs. With the end of the season came Lhe news that five Blue Ridge men had been selected for the all-state team and two of these, Ward J. and Hayes, also received all-southern honors. The Squad Fifty-Three % ’J X M M W M M7 . “T i e Gadawhee 1926 J. B. LAWRENCE —Coach Under the skillful tutelage of Coach “Shorty” Lawrence, Blue Ridge has en¬ joyed the most successful football season in her history. Since his brilliant athletic career at N. C. State, Coach Lawrence has established for himself the reputation of being one of the foremost prep-school coaches in the South. He has taught the value of true sportmanship, and has in¬ stilled into the spirits of his players that the way the game is played, and not the victory, is the thing to be considered. Blue Ridge is fortunate to have secured his ser¬ vices for another year. CALEB SWINK— End (Captain) The honor of Captain fell on Caleb’s able shoulders, and smashing, fighting, setting the pace, he was well fitted to lead the team and a big factor in its well earned success. Remarkably fast for a big man, he was a certain tackier and never failed to get his man. His playing throughout the year was an inspiration to his team¬ mates and a terror to his opponents. ROBERT HAYES —Tackle (Captain Elect) “Big Bob ' s” ability to crash through any line and “down ’em in their tracks” has won him the reputation of being one of the best tackles in the state. He was awarded for his excellent work this year, a place on the All-State and All-Southern elevens. It is our sincerest hope that “Bob” will be back in uniform next season. JAMES WARD —Quarterback “Jim” is undoubtedly the most spectacu¬ lar player that has ever made a football team at Blue Ridge. He was the first Hill- topper to make an All-state team, and this past year, in addition to All-state, he re¬ ceived All-southern honors. “Jim’s” great playing has turned the tide of victory to Blue Ridge in many a hard fought game and we can truly say that he has put the school on the map in football. Another of his caliber will be hard to find. Fifty-Four The Gadawhee 1926 ,w%w%viaa; LEONARD McLUCAS —End “Blondie,” weighing only 135 pounds, was the lightest man in the line, but was outstanding in every game. No matter how big or how fast they came “Mac” stopped them. Whenever a pass was thrown him he always caught it, and usually turned it into a touchdown. A large share of the team’s record is due to “Mac.” He was selected for All-state. LIONEL NOWELL —Halfback Either considering or not considering his size, you’ve got to hand it to “Stumpy” that he is some player. He was one of the hardest workers on this year’s team and his deadly tackling and long gains often brought the spectators to their feet. We are hoping that he will return to strengthen our line-up next year. HENRY EDEN —Fullback Whenever Blue Ridge needed a few nec- cessary yards or an accurate pass thrown, “Hap” was called on and always succeeded. His line plunging was responsible for many Hilltopper wins. In the Asheville High game nothing could stop him and he went through the opposing line at will. He played a strong game always, and was a very valuable man. CLARENCE BROWN—Halfback “Brownie” was one of the speediest backfield men to be seen in action this season. Whenever he got the ball he tucked it under his arm like a stolen water¬ melon and was gone. It took a fast man to catch him. He was good at intercepting passes and the boys are sure to miss him on the field next year. Fifty-Five WALTER OGLESBY —Center “Tarzan,” playing at center for the first time, lived up to his name. He rarely ever made his passes bad and fought hard till the last whistle. Very few opposing backs gained over center when Walter was in the game. He was picked for All-state honors and we heartily congratulate him in his success. REID BRAWLEY —Guard Although this was “Bully’s” first year on the team, his red head could always be seen in the thickest of the fray. He played hard in every game and showed a fighting spirit that could not be downed. Very sel¬ dom were gains made through his position. We hope that “Bully” will be back in uni¬ form next season. HAROLD WARD —Guard Harold’s great game was against Car¬ lisle. With their hard-hitting backs crashing into the line, he held his ground and turned their drives into losses. All through the season he was a stone pillar in the line, his offensive work equaling his defensive. We lose a valuable man when he leaves us this year. THOMAS SMYTH —Halfback “Tom” was often called upon to fill in at halfback and could always be relied upon. He was a good runner and side- stepper and when he carried the ball he generally put ground behind him for many yards. He was a scrapper from start to finish. This was “Tom’s” second and last year on the team and his absence will be keenly felt. Fifty-Six ROBERT CATHEY —Halfback During his four years on the Blue and White team “Bob” has proved himself a most valuable man. He could rip open a hole with a vim that set the opposition back every time he carried the ball. His work was the deciding factor in both the Carisle and Greenville games. “Bob” leaves behind him an enviable record. FULTON GARREN —Tackle This was “Scrub’s” second year on the team, and his work at tackle was one of the mainstays of the defense. He was in every game fighting till the final whistle and de¬ serves a world of credit for his work. His going leaves a place that will be hard to fill. ANTHONY BEATTIE —Halfback “Tony’s” ability to play well in any position made him a very valuable man to the team. At halfback he gained consis¬ tently and his work in backing up the line was of the highest order. At guard or tackle he could be depended upon to hold down his position on either offense or de¬ fense. SELWYN SCOTT —Manager When it comes to managers, we would like to submit for your approval one Sel- wyn Sutton Scott, Jr., manager of the Hill- toppers of 1925. Before every game “Buck” was always on hand with chewing gum, lemons, and all the necessary articles for the team. He made an excellent mana¬ ger and Blue Ridge is sorry he is leaving. i V VI V W N W WWWW V fc y Aiy Fifty-Seven The Season s Results 1925 At Hendersonville.Blue Ridge 13; Christ School 0.

Fifty-Eight Basketball Resume At the beginning of the basketball season, Blue Ridge, with excellent material on hand and a good coach, looked forward to a successful season. After the Christmas vacation, practice began in earnest but only to meet numerous setbacks. Case, Blue Ridge forward for the past two years, was unable to play throughout the season on account of injuries; Halliday at center, after playing three excellent games, was forced out of the line-up by illness; Captain Nowell was called home in mid-season because of serious illness in his family. Probably the best played game of the season was with the undefeated Beverly Hills quintet which went to Blue Ridge by the score of 17 to 20. In the hard fought Bailey game the Ridgers led by a narrow margin until nosed out in the last minutes of play, 26 to 25. After dropping a game to Christ School on the latter,s court, 28 to 20, Blue Ridge got revenge on the home court by winning 33 to 16. Five games won out of fourteen played cannot be looked upon as a success¬ ful season; but, considering the handicaps, and the close scores in most of the games, the season cannot be called a bad one. Fifty-Nine “Stumpy” Nowell (Captain )—Left Guard “Stumpy” was fittingly elected to captain this year’s team. His fighting spirit and leadership Avas ever an incentive to his team-mates, while his skill¬ ful playing drew admiration from even his opponents. He was greatly missed by the team when he was called home. “Bully” Brawley —Right Guard At right guard, Bully” deserves a lot of credit for holding his opponents to close scores. Very feAv men who played against him were able to get within the foul line and score. We hope that he will return next year and “do his stuff” again. Walter Oglesby —Left Forward ‘‘Walt’s passing and general floor work was an outstanding feature in practically every game. His goal shooting was consistent, and he Avas one of the most valuable men on the team, being high score man for the season. Caleb Swink —Right Forward Caleb’s work at forward Avas exceptionally good throughout the season, and opposing guards found him hard to stop. His playing Avas a feature in many of the games. At times he was used at center, and was very effective. Sixty i he “Hap” Eden— Guard Starting off at a rather slow pace, “Hap” finished the season in top form. At right guard he broke up many plays by his excellent defense. In the Farm School game he was outstanding, holding his opponent to a close score. Harold Ward— Forward Harold has played well this season, running up a good number of points. He was used often at forward and played a great game. Harry Shaw— Forward Harry was one of the leading subs during the year. Always a hard fighter, he was in every play while in the game, and contributed much towards the team’s scoring. Burke Boyd— Forward Although forced to drop out early in the season on account of sickness, while in the game Burke showed himself a skillful player. He handled the ball well, and his passing was excellent. Sixty-One Coach J. B. Lawrence Coach Lawrence turned out a liard-tig ' hting, aggressive team, that un¬ doubtedly would have been a strong conference contender had it been able to use its full fighting force. We all realize that it was not his fault that the team did not make a better record. Coleman Halliday —Center The team incurred a great loss when Halliday, on account of sickness, dropped out of the line-up. While in the line-up he played an excellent game and would have strengthened the team if he had continued. Mayne Albright —Guard When Captain Nowell was called home no one filled the vacancy better than Mayne. In every game in which he played his work was commendable, and we hope that he will make a good college record. “Jim” Ward —Manager “Jimmie” showed that he could manage basketball as well as he could play football. He proved himself an able manager and was on hand at every game. Sixty-Two vw w M w M jr jrsjrz w A Baseball Season 1925 At Blue Ridge.Blue Ridge 3; Fruitland 6.

Sixty-Three T ZZZZZZXZZZWZXZBim The Gadawhee 1926 m Sixty-Four Baseball Team 1926 Baseball Season 1926 The baseball team of 1925, under the skillful guidance of Coach Roy Williams, a former Blue Ridge athlete of note, proved itself the best Blue Ridge lias yet developed. The team went through the season with but four defeats, and thereby claimed the conference championship. With a wonderful schedule, which includes practically all the leading prep schools in North Carolina, and many high school and college Freshmen teams; with such a coach as Shorty” Lawrence; and with a wealth of material to pick from, we feel safe in saying that a most successful season awaits the team of 1926. Five letter men from last year are back in uniform: Case, Ward J., Swink, Ward H., and Boyd. Of the new men, Redfern E., Redfern I)., Brawley, Brown, Eden, Rotha, and Nowell, are showing up best and will greatly strengthen the line-up. The team as it now stands will probably consist of Case, Redfern E., Red- fern D., Swink, Brawley, Boyd, Ward -J., Eden, Brown, and Ward H. Captain Swink at first, shows greater promise this year than ever before. Case, our star mound,s-man looks even better than he did last year, when he was an all¬ conference man. The Redfern brothers, as a battery, have shown up exception¬ ally well in the work-outs, while Brawley at second, Ward J., hard-hitting short¬ stop from last year and Eden at third, make up a fast infield. Ward II., Brown, and Redfern E., or Case will capably handle the outfield. Blue Ridge will meet Hendersonville High School for the season’s opener. Following this game they meet Shelby High and Brevard at home and then make the first trip on which they will meet Shelby High at Shelby, Wingate Junior College at Wingate, and Davidson Freshman at Davidson. The GADAWHEE goes to press before any definite conclusion can be ascer¬ tained, but we have faith in Coach Lawrence, Captain Swink and Manager Meyer and feel secure in saying that the team of 1926 will surpass the brilliant record set forth by our teams of the past.

I suppose he knows practic¬ ally everything.” Second Twin: “Don’t fool yourself. He don’t even suspect anything.” Bond Gillam: “Did Mr. Singletary completely recover from his appendi¬ citis??” Fish Booe: “No, complications set in. He fell in love with his nurse.” ❖ :|j :{c sjs :|; Hicks: “Why are these mountains so rugged?” McLaughlin: “Carpeted with snow, you know.” “It’s a burning shame,” said “Hawk- shaw” Swink. “What is?” asked Milton Bryce. “That cigarette you put in your pocket.’ =:• ' See that thingamagig?

Caught a couple of ants trying to drag it through a crack in the sidewalk.” :|c :|j :|c sfs She (reading Keats)—Beauty is truth. He—You’re a liar. Old-Fashioned Mother — Rock-a-bye baby on a tree top. Modern Baby—Oh, can it! I want to go to sleep. Seventy-Eight The youth entered the door of the dressing- room unannounced. His eyes lighted with pleasure, his cheeks flushed at what he beheld. He put out his hand, his fingers tingling with anticipatory pleasure. He moved toward the dressing- table. “Ah,” he murmured, “the skin you love to touch.” And tenderly he bent over his dad’s old wallet. ij: :Jc J{c Coach Lawrence: “So you don’t be¬ lieve that Santa Claus drives his rein¬ deers over the snow?” Stetson: “No, sir.” Coach Lawrence: “You’re from Mis¬ souri, eh?” Stetson: “Nope; Florida.” “There are many times when I wish I were a man,” said “Dot” wistfully. “When,” inquired “Scrub.” ‘When I pass a millinery shop and think how happy I could make my wife by giving her a new Spring hat.” “This case is more serious than I thought,” said Detective Snoop, when he saw that the window glass was broken on both sides. x Mr. Brown to Zickgraf: “What was Sir Isaac Newton noted for in History?” Zickgraf: “He invented Fig New¬ tons.” Visiting Lady (running from a figure in the dark hall): “Goodness! Who’s that?” Alex Booe: “Booe.” Visiting Lady: “Oh, Boo yourself.” x x- Mr. Brown: “What do you know about Fielding?” Ted Kelly: “Nothing sir, I failed to make the team last year.” x Girl: “Jim, dear, would you put your¬ self out for me?” Jim Ward: “Sure thing.” Girl: “Then please do—I am terribly tired.” % ;j; Valdez: “I need $5.00 and only have $4.00.” Sheen: “That’s easy. Pawn your four for $3.00 and sell the pawn ticket for $2.00.” He :|: Dr. Hughes: The endurance of Socrates is shown by the fact that when he was in the army he used to march for days in the snow without shoes.” Class (in chorus): “Wonderful feat.” Brawley: “I hope I die before you do.” Shaw: “What is the reason for that?” Brawley: “So I’ll be an “Old Man” in Hades when you get there.” Seventy-Nine ✓ ✓ V A w w w w w w w w DEAR MR. SCOTT: It gives me pleasure to take this space in the first issue of the GADAWHEE in order to express to your senior class our appreciation of the compliment that some of their number have paid us in selecting Oglethorpe University as their Alma Mater. It would give us pleasure to send to any senior who is planning to go to college next year a copy of our catalog and booklet of views and other literature, describing work offered at Oglethorpe. We feel very proud of the record made not only during the past year, but during every year by our boys. It isn’t often that any school can boast that it has won for two consecutive years both the baseball and football champion¬ ships of its conference, has won three out of four inter-col¬ legiate debates, has been one of the two Southern Universities that have written and presented their own plays and has, in addition to this, become generally known as possessing the best college orchestra in the Southern States. We would be very much pleased to have any of the Blue Ridge boys come to share with us this fine record and take part in our academic life, Heartily Yours, THORNWELL J ACOBS, President.
