E, who have written and compiled this Year Book, have attempted to put within its pages a true and informal picture of the life and activities on our campus. The staff has made an effort to break from the formality and stiffness of past Year Books. We feel that in doing so we have made a more interesting and informative annual. lt must be realized that in a Year Book for a Military Academy such as ours problems entirely different from those of a high school Year Book must be faced. It is necessary to conform to a certain standard and to some extent we are more confined than is a high school Annual Staff. However, we feel that we have overcome these difficulties, and present the contents of the following pages as proof. To those who leave the campus we hope it will be a book of pleasant memories. To those who remain, we hope it will set a standard for the future.

DR. WILLIAM E. HATCHER HE LIFE OF WILLIAM E. HATCHER was in itself a personification of Christian, brotherly love. The creed by which he lived-one of radiant, unselfish friendship- caused all who knew him to become his friend. A great lover of boys, he bent much of his time and energy toward encouraging and guiding them in whatever walk of life they planned to follow. Therefore, it is with a debt of gratitude for a great spirit that the Seniors of 'I942 dedicate this annual to Dr. William E. Hatcher, founder of this academy.
