THE Ill-Y MGKNIGHT p AWARD On September 13, 1917 in a modest home in Boch- ester was born a lad, destined to spend but two decades in contact with his fellow men in this life. But in that brief span of earthly existence he built a life patterned closely after one whom he followed who showed us a way of life, nineteen hundred and thirty- seven years ago. Athlete: following his father's footsteps and tute- lage, in spite of physical handicaps he played champ- ionship soccer for three years. In the last year the team were runners-up for the city championship. Representative Student: he served his fellow students as a member of the Senior Council, his last year in school. Servant of his fellows: An active member of Alpha Chapter of Hi-Y, for two years, he was its Vice- President when called home. A Vice-President of his young people's group an'd an active church member, Archie McKnight, by his all round development, his gentlemanly conduct at all times so won the respect and devotion of his fellows, that they said of him in the Witan last year, Our nominee for an ideal man. That his spirit is with us yet is shown by the loyal devotion of his fellow soccer players of 1937 season, who despite handicaps and loss of their co-captain fought through to a glorious finish as City and Sec- tional Soccer Champions. We did it for Arch was the way one player expressed it after the final game. 'LLEST WE FORGET . As future generations of students pass through Charlotte's halls, pause to study, and then join the ranks in fields of greater challenge and responsibility outside the school walls, the name Archie McKnight will stand for all that is best in American student life. That students may have a reminder and a challenge to live out Archie's ideals of clean sportsmanship, class scholarship, clean sports, and clean living, his fellow Hi-Y members have decided to Work and save their money for the purchase of a suitable cup, to be awarded annually to the student at Charlotte who, in his daily living, best exemplifies the four planks in the Hi-Y platform which Archie so nobly lived. The first award of ,this cup will be made in J une, 1938. Let it be said' of the winner as was said of Archie 'LOur nominee for an ideal man. , ...Ml . , .4.--.,
