The publication of this edition will carry with it the memories of long-forgotten days and the reminiscence of friendly and moth- erly hours, so we hope that some of the things which we have learned here will serve as a golden premonition in time of dis- tress-and better still, precedent to temptation. This is but a reminder of the things and days which have been so sweet and peaceful during our stay at our beloved schoolg there- fore we trust that our eforts will not be in vain. When we are depressed in spirit and it looks as though we have lost all hope of friendship in the world, let us turn to this feeble volume and focus our eyes upon the things and incidents of' the past-though they seem strange, yet they are authentic and dear to the reminiscent heart. With this we say farewell to allg may it be a parting which shall last even longer than the ink of a printed page or the beauty of the Cod-made rainbow. 5Efi7f3!fj9.Jj X36QfTQv3N!?!E!F1,fI!!2A!f :f 4 . ........v..............- I v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.. ..vv..... .

Far be it from us to be classed in the category of such personsg hence this effort on our part to ex- press our heartiest appreciation to our Faculty for their interest, counsel, and guidance during the years we have spent at Hargrave Military Academy. Perhaps one of the greatest incentives to a young fellow, especially of high school age, is the interest of mature persons in him and his work. Such interest serves as a spur to further efforts when the way is seemingly blocked. Well may we say that our instructors have displayed a genuine interest in our well-being during the years we have had the privilege of learning under them. While some of us at times may have unfortunately misconstrued their interest, yet on the whole we have learned to regard their interest as a real, sincere desire to be of service to us, not only in our school work, but also in our individual lives. We know now, as never before, that the interest of our professors has been inspired because of their line, Christian ideals. lt has been truly said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. We have had the pleasant experience of receiving able counsel from any of our teachers in time of trouble. The best friend that a fellow can have is one who will give him frank, sincere advice when needed. We have always found our Faculty ready and willing to give us counsel, the value of which they have learned through their own experiences. We have been able to enjoy the benefit of their counsel not only in times of trouble but also in any ordinary problem that may have faced us. By their wise counsel we have been safely guided through the trying years of our lives. We can say with the utmost sincerity that never have we failed to receive guidance when we wished it. Not always have we reaped the benefit of guidance through well-spoken advice alone. It has been said that example is better than precept. It has ever been so with our advisers-they have set an example for us in many ways. We can have the pleasure of saying that in all our years of association with our counsellors, never have we been asked to do that which they would not do themselves. We should like to be permitted at this time to say a few words about the lady members of our Faculty. Some of us have had the pleasure of being taught by Mrs. E. A. Floyd and Mrs. S. P. G. Spratt. Those who have been so fortunate shall ever carry with thim pleasant memories of those years. The rest of us who have not been so fortunate can express our grateful appre- ciation for the splendid feeling they have always shown toward the students. It would indeed be amiss if we did not express our appreciation to our fine, Christian matron, Mrs. M. Crews. We shall ever bear in remembrance her motherly interest in us. While we have had the pleasure of knowing our nurse, Mrs. M. Clanton, for only one year, yet we are indeed grateful for the splendid spirit she has always displayed in her care of the sick. It is with a sincere feeling that we say that in our opinion our Faculty is composed of men and women who have seen the vision of service through the opportunity of instructing young men during the foundation years of their lives. There are, no doubt, those among our Faculty who could command better positions in other realms of service, but because they are true to their ideals, they have labored faithfully in an endeavor to carry out the motto of our beloved school, a ing en, o oney. M k' M N t M We have been ever encouraged by the earnest co-operation of our Faculty. and we want them to feel that their efforts shall not be in vaing that the training we have received here will stimulate us to strive for the highest and best life has to olierg that we shall indeed live to serve. As we depart from our beloved school and from the inspiring association with our Faculty. we express to them our sincere appreciation of their wonderful guidance during our years at Hargrave Military Acadenry. 14 .vs.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.mv.nv-v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v. . . .'

Buss,' Private, lst Platoon, Corporal, lst Platoon, Member: Tidewater Club, Varsity Football, Eureka Literary Society, Basketball Squad, Glee Club. S. O. S. Club. The young man's physiognomy, which you are now beholding, is none other than our own Buss,' Beale. He came to us in the fall of '25 from the little city by the sea. lt is known otherwise as Portsmouth, Va. We are all in readiness to acknowledge the fact that his home town is glad indeed to claim him as one of its own. Yes, he is little in stature, but otherwise, very loud. He has shown his grit and determination by making the Varsity Football Team this year, and, with such fine spirit, he has won the respect of both the faculty and student body. lt is beyond our power to express to what extent we shall miss our beloved friend and classmate. We think of the little half-back who put terror in the souls of opposing teamsg we think of the real gentleman, not only around the fair sex, but at all times. The medical world has proven to be his choiceg so we feel sure he will make a suc- cess. Go to it, Buss,,' we are trusting in you. ROBERT HENRY BETTS MACON, N. C. Rheu,matism,' Private, 2nd Platoon, Member: Cosmopoli- tan Club, Eureka Literary Societyg Program Committee, Eureka Literary Society. ln the fall of '25, there came to us the one and only Roomie', Betts. Roomie, our sometimes-sheik, and sometimes otherwise, adores the fair sex, but his moral status is so high that romance has never as yet inter- fered with his studies. This young man is very ambitious. He ex- pects to enter the University of North Caro- lina, if they will have him, where he hopes to conquer the world of journalism. If fortune doesnit segregate itself from him, his journal- istic studies will be tipped oil at Columbia University. He has a fine personality, and as a result, has made many friends in our beloved school. We predict for him great success. vvvv U vvvvv 11.1.

In the Fall of 19241 Calvin came to us, full of that ambition and vigor that has carried him on through his career as a student here. Along with these two attributes he also pos- sesses a most charming personality, as all who have been associated with him will tes- tify. Calvin has not made the record some others have in Athletics, but as Hall Debater and Orator of the Jeffersonian Literary Society he will be greatly missed when he has gone from among us. One of his most prized achieve- ments was the winning of the 0rator's Medal, for which he had earnestly worked ever since the first Inter-Society Program that was pre- sented after he came. In his determination toward that goal we can all take a lesson: that of being not only a willing victor but a cheerful loser, with the resolution to try again. CARRINGTON LEONARD BOOKER LOTTSBURG, VA. Flittering Flaries' Private, Ist Platoon, Sergeant, Ist Platoong Member: ,Ieffersonian Literary Society, Tide- water Club, Rifle Team, S. 0. S. Club, Ad- vertising Manager, ORACLE. In presenting this young gentleman to the public, we have no apology to make whatso- ever, as he has proven himself to be a perfect gentleman everywhere and at all times. Our friend Booker is very quietg he has a most pleasing personalityg a disposition which, no doubt, has often been envied by a great many. As he leaves us, he carries with him the love and respect of all, both male and female-and especially the fair sex just across the valley, which fthe valley? is made roman- tic and beautiful because of the strange inci- dents which have taken place nearby. , A r.v.v.va.U.v.v.v.v.v.v. . .

Ladies and gentlemen, we beg to introduce to you a young man of fine character and re- serve, a gentleman at all times and at all places, and a boy any dear mother would be proud to claim. He made his home with us at the beginning of the school yearg and he was not long in letting us know that he really and truly meant business. It is with the gravest pain that we part with him, one of our beloved and good friends. He has proven himself to be most elegant at all times.

Roy came to us in the fall of '24 from the distinguished city of Schooltield, Va. Since entering here he has proven himself a real gentleman in every respect-gaining the ad- miration of both faculty and student. But let's look at him from another angle: from the letters he receives, there seems to be some indication of a love affair around and near North Carolina. Evidently there is. Roy has been active in literary workg and be has proven his fitness. We shall miss him a great deal in the future. Go to it, Roy, we are counting on youg and we wish you success in the ministry.

M. C. A., Vice- President, Ministerial Clubg President, Stu- dent Senate, Secretary, Jefferson Literary So- cietyg Chaplain, J. L. S. This fine specimen, who now stands before you, is R. L. Camden-better known as 'fBob.', He is a product of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, in Bedford County, where men grow big and strong. ln the fall of '21 he made up his mind that he owed more to the world than potatoes and corn. After this decision he entered H. M. A. for the purpose of preparing himself for the ministry. During his stay he has won the con- fidence of all. He has been one of the outstanding figures on the football field for the last four years, as well as being a loyal supporter of all phases cf athletics. We would not forget to say that he won the confidence of the fair sex soon after coming to us. To know Bob is to love him. He has a kind word for all. CHARLES HOLLINGSWORTH CHRISMAN OXFORD, N. C.

Since the Fall of '24 '4Chris', has been one of the most faithful contributors to both the athletic and military phases of our beloved school. Through his hard work he has won for himself two very responsible positions, which require real executive ability and talent. As captain of the football team, he has shown unusually good discrimination with his asso- ciates, as Cadet Captain, he has displayed rare militaristic qualifications. But best of all, he has won the love and respect of all. In parting with '4Chris, we not only lose one of our best athletes but one of our best friends. IN REMINISCENCE J f 3, I THOMAS GUY FOWLER GREENVILLE, N. C. Andy Gump Private, lst Platoong Member, Jeffersonian Literary Society, Member, Senior Class, Mem- ber, Cosmopolitan Clubg Member, Football Squad. Andy is a product of North Carolina, which he says is the home of Nhard-hearted Hannah. He has had quite a hard time during his stay with us, and this is the rea- son: when he is supposed to be asleep and in hed, he is often seen parading up and down the halls-gun on shoulder and eyes exceed- ingly wide open-trying to memorize Hamlet's Doxology. Just the same he is a mighty Ene fellow, and loved by all. ERNEST ARTHUR HARPER Pom' MOUTH, VA. Chubby, Member, Eureka Literary Societyg Football Squadg Junior Class Basketball, Member, Tidewater Clubg Basketball Squad, Private, lst Platoong Corporal, 2nd Platoon. Before you, ladies and gentlemen, is the likeness of our own Chubby, He came to us in the Fall of 1925, a part of the Norfolk and Portsmouth contingent, and has since demonstrated the calibre of folks they turn out down there. As a member of the Football and Basketball Squads, he has been the terror of our oppo- nents, both on the gridiron and court, having always acquitted himself with honor, both for the team and for himself. His prowess has not gone to his head, however, he is the same Chubby we first knew. His one failing is a liking for the female branch of the species. Everything was jake his first year here, but now she is at W. 81 M., and Chubby suffers from severe cases of lovesickness. After all, that is only natural, though. We cannot get along without them, and when we get them we can't get along with them. May fortune smile upon your efforts, Chubby, and may you he the success in life we believe you will be. O IN REMINISCENCE l-qw, 51 AUBREY EDWARD HUNTER GLADYS, VA. Pete Private, lst Platoong Corporal, lst Platoon, Member, Eureka Literary Society, Track Squadg Rifle Team, Blue Ridge Club, Long- fell0w's Club. This little runt came to Hargrave in the Fall of 1925, with no particular object in view except to grow to be a man. He has gained a scant halfvinch in height, and we seriously doubt that he has picked up anything in girth. Col. Camden owes him quite a large sum because he has failed to live up to his motto. He has certainly failed to make a man of Pete. To lay aside the jocular, however, we find that Pete is a very pleasant fellow-when he is asleep. He is extremely quiet-except when he has nightmares. Pete does have a very charming personality, and we have found him to be very studious and ambitious, particularly in Algebra and English. He has not starred in anything in the Athletic Department, but has added his weight and agility to the Track Teams. The fair sex seems to have little attraction for him, especially in and adjacent to Chat- ham. From the frequency of the arrivals of letters from Rustburg and vicinity, however, we are inclined to doubt that there is no one. What Pete expects to make of himself we don't exactly know, but we wish him success in his future life. LUTHER ANDERSON IRBY, JR. J AvA, VA. Cispikeii Member, Ministerial Club, Secretary, Min- isterial Clubg President, Ministerial Clubg Private, Band, Member, .leffersonian Literary Society, Member, Halifax Club. This young man made his home with us in the fall of '24. He seems to be very ambitious, and is al- ways striving to make himself worthy of a good name, he is a Christian gentleman and is well liked by all. He has decided to make the ministry his life's work. We feel sure he will succeed and prove to be a splendid minister. vv v 5 .v.v.v.v.u.u.vv. v. . . . . . . . . .v. . . - . . .

Bandg 2nd Lieutenant, Com- manding Bandg Secretary, Student Senate. Lankford has been a faithful student of Hargrave Military Academy for the last three years. Every morning he greeted us with the mail as he pulled the hill from town. We have found that he is not one of the leisure class. though he has found time to make friends with the entire student body. Buck- shot does not stand at the foot of his class. He is right there with the goods at all times. JOHN MCCANLESS sourn BOSTON, vA. 4cMnCa, Member, Eureka Literary Societyg Private. lst Platoong Member, Senior Classg Member, Football Squad. t'Mau came to us in his senior year after having completed his first three years else- where. During his short stay with us he has proven himself a gentleman and a true sport in all things. ln the classroom he has stood near the top of his class. On the athletic field his true sportsmanship has been linked with his good fighting spirit. Although he is a rat and his activities among the fair sex have been curbed to some extent by the rat rules, we suspect that he is quite a sheik in his home town. Marv has a fine disposition and is well liked by all who have come in contact with him during his stay here. He has won a place in the hearts of his classmates. and he carries with him the best wishes of all. .v.v.v.l.v.1.vtv.v.v.v.v.v.v.1.I.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.' 0 A v I v I 1 vs Q I v 7 v v v I U v v 1 v v 1 I v U v v v v u a g l IN REMINISCENCE 1 f I J 1 RUDOLPH R.

Booty', came to us in the Fall of '25 from Cape Charles, Va. He showed up exceedingly well in track and no one will question the splendid work done on the football field. He is, indeed, a great sport in all phases of ath- letics. He was fortunate enough to make let- ters in both during his Brat year. We wish him the same grit and determination in the game of life that he has shown on the gridiron and the Cinder path. His desire is to become a famous football coach. Booty, we feel that all your endeavors will bring you such results as to insure you success in future life. Stick to the task, and also revolve your thoughts once in a while in order that they may fall toward the class of '27, ARTHUR WILLIAM MILNE PITTsFIELo, MASS. Dickey Member, Football Squad, Cosmopolitan Club, Eureka Literary Society, Y. M. C. A., Joke Editor, Tue ORACLE, Joke Editor, The Musketeer. Of all the cases of homesickness we have ever witnessed, Duke had the worst when he came to us in the Fall of 1925. Being unac- customed to Beans, and also embarking upon his first real season away from his home folks and bailiwick, he was Hsome sick. We ac- tually had to pull him out of bed in order to get him to go to town. This spell soon passed over, however, and we found Duke to be a most companionable fellow. We learned that he could make himself at home with any kind of gathering, and he was soon the center of many L'BuIl Sessions, holding the floor with his ready flow of Yankee humor and sparkling wit. We can safely say that no one has yet been able to make him bite on a joke without having to crunch down on one in return. The fair sex has had quite an attraction for him, as has been evidenced by his frequent trips to Danville, C. E. I., and other interme- diate points. He does not play partiality with any of them, claiming that his youth precludes his taking undue interest in any one until he has finished his educational career.

Now, noble reader, you are gazing upon the face of none other than Scottie,,' one of our beloved classmates. Scottie', honored us with his presence in the fall of ,25, which was his Ural year. Nevertheless, he started right in making friends and has kept up the practice ever since. He won a square mile in the heart of every cadet when he made a touchdown against Fork Union, because this was the first one made by Hargrave Military Academy in a good many years. HScottie has shown up unusually well in all branches of sport, name- ly, football, baseball, basketball and track. And now we come to his better half. This young man has a most melodious voices-and he has certainly used it to a great advantage: to win the heart of one of C. E. l.'s fairest.

Farewell, old friend, we have the utmost confidence in your success. . .v.v. .v. . . . . .v. . .v.v. . .v. .v.v. .v- . . . . .- 5 ' .v.1.l.v.u.w.v.v.v.v. . .v. .v. . . . .mv-U. 0 0 IN REMINISCENCE X f W.

S. Club, Member, Student Senate, Member, Glee Club. In the Fall of 1922, there alighted from a train at Chatham, a small, slouchy, indifferent lad, who appeared bewildered and frightened at being left in such surroundings as this thriving metropolis affords. Bashful and re- tiring, it was sometime before we learned that he belonged to that immense family of Smiths, and that he came from a place called Boone Mill, Va. Maybe that accounted for his be- wilderness and bashfulness. We could. not locate the place in the United States, but we have since learned its metes and bounds. Time has made many changes in Bill. He has lost his slouchiness, and stands out as one splendid example of Colonel Camden's motto. f'Making Men-Not Money. He soon devel- oped athletic propensities, and readily applied himself to military activities. He has been a most valuable adjunct to the football and baseball teams, and we firmly believe that had it not been for him our Cadet Corps would not be what they are at present.

V Iv!-U 'Uv 1 1 V-'Viv IN REMINISCENCE nf M CBJUIIIOJI' 1I 0piiI1fBfCy Last evening, just before I retired, I was thinking of and discussing the plans for our swim- ming pool, and the possibility of plans for the erection of the new Armory and Drill Hall. When I did finally go to bed my mind was preoccupied with these subjects, and though there was the immediate feeling of sleep, there was not what could be called repose. The natural result was that I dreamed. Strangely enough, my subconscious thoughts remained on the identical track upon which my waking thoughts had been, and I dreamed of old Hargrave. I do admit that much of my thought has been given to the future of this old school, and I do have ambitions and desires for her, one of my resolutions being that as soon as I am able to do so, I want to aid it in its progress. But that is bringing in personalities, and I am supposed to be telling you of my dream. My classmates, you were as distinct in that reverie as you are before me now. It so hap- pened that the time setting was twenty years hence, and the occasion was a reunion of the Class of 1927. Nearly all of us were there, having come from the four corners of the earth, and with us were many others of preceding and succeeding classes, all of us members of the Alumni Asso- ciation, which the Class of ,28 had formed before their graduation. Many faces had changed, so that immediate recognition was impossible. There were a few gray hairs, a few bald heads. Nearly all of us had gained some inches about our midsections. The cares and worries of life showed in many expressions, though in other faces there was that same carefree, indifferent bearing that they hear today. One of the most interesting phases of this look into the future was the new location of the school. I learned that through the beneficence of Dr. Lester, Mr. Hargrave and others, the school had been given a large tract of land just at the edge of town, on the right hand side of the road toward Danville. Many of us have probably noticed the ideal contour of the land there, and have thought of the possibility of having the school there. On this site the School had erected new buildings, the most modern in design, in the form of a quadrangle, retaining our old quarters as a Junior School, with Major W. L. Threlkeld as Headmaster. The most imposing one of the four buildings in the main group was the Academic and Administration Building, known as Alumni Hall, from the fact that the Alumni Association had raised the funds for building it. In it were the offices and class rooms, assembly rooms and auditorium. Gothic in design, of gray stone construction, it made a wonderful picture as viewed from the campus entrance. To the right and left, and somewhat in the rear of Alumni Hall, facing each other on the quadrangle, were two splendid dormitories, called Lester Hall and Spratt Hall, respectively. They were built of the same material as Alumni Hall, in the approved style for buildings of military schools, and housed five hundred students. Named in honor of our own beloved Major Spratt, now a Colonel, and President, having succeeded Colonel Camden when he was made head of Richmond University, and Dr. Lester, still living though having long since retired as a teacher, I thought they were fitting tributes to these two of our professors who had meant so much to us while we were students at the old school. In the rear of and across the quadrangle from Alumni Hall was an immense building, with a vaulted roof, and looking for all the world like a fort, with its massive walls and buttresses, its monstrous front door level with the ground, reminding one of the entrance to an ancient castle. Upon asking Col. Spratt, our guide on this inspection trip, what this building was and for what purpose it was used, we learned that it was Camden Memorial Armory, and was used 32 A .v. .v. . . . . . . .v. . .v.v.v. .v. .v.v. .v. . . . -U: I ' v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.mv. . .v.1.v.v. .v. - J. . .v.v. . . . lfjl REMINISCENCE M M exclusively for theoretical and practical military training. We were met at the door by a rather portly army officer, who wore the gold leaf of a major, and upon looking at him very closely, I recognized Big Dude Smith. Upon his graduation from West Point, he had been assigned to R. O. T. C. duty, and being asked his preference of a school, he had naturally chosen Hargrave. His promotion had come in recognition of his meritorious work in making the old school an Honor School. He escorted us inside the building where we saw the immense drill floor, quite as large as the old Athletic Field, and the racks for storing rifies and equipment of each student fastened to the walls. In the aisle around the floor were machine guns, trench mortars, one pounders and other artillery equipment. As he showed us his charge, I noticed that he had changed little. He still had that boyish enthusiasm for perfection, and he had never gotten out of his characteristic gait. Expressing our wonder at the absence of a gymnasium, the Colonel told us that as host, he was saving some of the best things for last. We came out of the Armory at the rear, and were led over a wide, well-paved road, to the brow of the hill, and were treated to a sight which we could hardly believe. We beheld a stadium, small of course, but none the less a stadium. At the open end of the horseshoe there stood one of the most imposing buildings of the entire group. As we continued our journey down the hill, we were met by none other than f'Bill Scott, whose reputation as an athletic coach was well known, and following the greetings, he took charge of us. The Memorial Gymnasium, as it was called, was dedicated to all those who had borne the Orange and Black to victory in previous years. As we entered the building we faced a large bronze tablet upon which were engraved the names of all members of varsity teams for all the years up to 1946, the year the tablet was dedicated. Bill was like a kid as he showed us the Gallery, the quarter-mile indoor track, the playing floor, with its three basketball courts, and the other gym- nastic equipment. As we came down stairs, we heard a noise as of splashing and the boisterous cries of boys at play. We were then taken to the swimming pool, teeming with boys of the student body. Its bottom and sides were of tile, and we noticed that the water was continually flowing. When we came out of the building upon the playing field, resplendent in its green coat, the cinder track and baseball field so aroused our emotions that we could not resist making comparison with the old clay field we had known. Returning, Colonel Spratt led us by way of the Infirmary, presided over by Dr. Carrington L. Booker, who met us as we entered. With its clean ward, private rooms and consultation room, it was a wonderful improvement over the facilities we had enjoyed. The Doctor told us that some regulations had been changed and that boys could no longer come to the Infirmary to skip formations and church, as we had done or tried to do when we were students. Our tour was interrupted by a bugler's note, which we recognized as old Soupy. Colonel Spratt escorted us to the Dining Hall, a separate building, where we waited the coming of the Battalion, which formed on the quadrangle, and marched in by squads. As we entered we beheld such a sight that we were incredulous. The boys were all in dress uniform, a new regulation for mess, and the tables all had linen cloths, while around the wall were pictures of Hargrave teams. Our party was divided among the members of the Faculty, and I happened to be a guest at Major and Mrs. Smithis table. The meal was exquisite, and strange but true, there were no beans. Time had had little effect upon Bill's appetite. When I had the chance to survey the room, I saw Colonel and Mrs. Spratt, with the two little Spratts, and was informed by Mrs. Smith that the Colonel had refused to stop living with the boys, though the Trustees had offered him a splendid home. As my eyes roved about the room, I noticed Major and Mrs. Brooks, with their song Major and Mrs. Scott, Dr. and Mrs. Booker and their little girl, and far across the room was Major and Mrs. Harris. 33 9 IN REMINISCENCE When dinner was over, we proceeded to one of the smaller assembly rooms in Alumni Hall for our Reunion. By this time, the original party had been augmented by all those that were at first missing, from members of the Faculty. We did not discuss each other's achievements in V f NM life during the twenty years that had passed, but found more pleasure in talking over old times. All of us showed some signs of success. We knew that Hunter had designed the new school and that the firm of Chrisman and Oliver had constructed it. Betts had produced a number of good books in addition to his editorial efforts, while the preachers, Camden, Burnett, Irby, and Bodein, had made themselves known to the world in their work. Harper and Beale had both succeeded as automobile and aircraft distributors. Dr. Terrell had become famous for his work at Hopkins, while Tschifelly was prominent in Leesburg as a dentist. Milne was successfully carrying on his father's plumbing supply business, and Bill Oliver was a thriving Chatham merchant. As engineers, bankers, merchants or commercial men, Mapp, McCanless, Lankford, Taylor, Tune, Roseman, Traynham, Ragland, Whitehead, Fowler and Weeks had all made their marks, and were respected and looked up to in their communities. Of the entire class, only Hunter had remained a bachelor, though he looked none the worse for it. We could sympathize with him, however. After an ''old-time-bull-session, the gathering broke up until the morning. Following break- fast, I had to leave so as to be at my church for the Sunday services, though I hated to miss the Baccalaureate sermon by Rev. R. L. Camden. My wife had told me that I must be home by Saturday night, so I was taking my leave of the crowd. Just at this juncture in my dream, I was rudely awakened by Purcell, who was shaking me and telling me to roll over on my back, as my talking had aroused him. It was only a dream, but I have learned that many of my dreams come true. This is one that I sincerely hope to see realized some day. As prophet for the Senior Class, I can only predict for each member of it, that he will achieve success in his chosen field of endeavor only by so much effort as he puts forth in his own behalf.

The foregoing statement is the motto of our class. We are not satisfied with having attained the rank of a Junior, but hope to reach our coveted goal--to become a Senior. Our greatest desire, after getting the best education possible, is to use it so that it may not only be of benefit to us but to all with whom we come in contact. We have learned to love each other with an undying love while in our toils and pleasures at Hargrave Military Academy-prompted by a high determination to go forward into greater and larger fields. We are all expecting to be back again next year. Watch the ORACLE of '28! See then, Who's Who. The first man we will introduce is Mr. Ash, who hails from the magic city, Roanoke. He is one of our most elhcient members of the Band, and we are proud of him because of his talent to give melodious music. Bloxom comes to us from the beautiful city of Richmond. He has proved his ability in the classroom by making marks among the highest, in athletics by making a letter. and being elected Captain of Football for 1927. He is liked by everyone because of his gentle- manly characteristics. Buck Baugham came to us from the good old State of North Carolina. He lvas a good word for everybody and always makes you feel good while in his company, there- fore we trust that we may have him with us in the Senior Class next year. Roy Boxley, who hails from Louisa County, has won the high esteem of both the faculty and the student body. Even though he is of a quiet nature, he has such an ability that com- mands admiration of all. HJ0, Jo, is a Norton, Va., sheik. He is known over at C. E. 1. by the following slogan, Say Goo Goo for Papa. Russell Blank, our cheer leader, came to us in the fall of '25 from the State Capital. We have another from the State Capital, Dick Chenery. one of the liveliest members of our orchestra. A line young gentleman, by the name of Robert Chipman, came from Washington, D. C., two years ago and, as he has served two years with us. we trust we will have him back with us next year. We can boast of a first-class barber, Casey Compton, who joined us in the fall of '25, lt is rumored that one of our members, John Easley, a popular Chatham sheik, will some day be a celebrated physician. Our Vice-President, 4'Doc Fisher, hailed from the town of Midlothan, Va., in the fall of '22, We expect him to be a great military genius in the near future. Another Chathamite, Charley Faison, is one of our congenial members. From Accomac, in September, 1926, came to us one who became a leading athlete, Henry Wise Derby. Clifton Forge, Va., had the honor of giving to us last fall another fine athlete, Thomas Halligan. Those who remember the words, Last Call, will always call to mind J. M. MacLain who came from the city of Richmond. In the fall of '26 there came to us from Bumpass, Va., a young man by the name of f'Dandy Pleasants. Again we have another '25 man by the name of Ralph Page who hailed from the magic city, Roanoke. A sheik from Heathsville is our Weary Richardson. Another young gentleman from North Carolina is Mr. Reavis. We are honored by the presence with us of Mr. Ed Roark of Altavista. From the distant state of Texas there came to us Tex Ramsey in the fall of '26. A Pennsyl- vanian who loves to travel is our Mr. Skidmore. An able debater is Mr. Stakes who hailed from the National Capitol in the fall of '26. One of our able Cadet officers is Cuerrant. China sent to us in the fall of '26 a fine boy, Ralph Jang. Chatham also claims the honor of having as one of its citizens, Mr. Charles Terry. A fair and handsome young man from Chase City is our Mr. Williams. Codfish Wilson can claim the distinction of being the oldest student in residence at H. M. A. One of our Longfellows is Purcell from Norton, Va. One of our star athletes, Knowlton, hails from Norfolk, Va. The Pluto twins, Theo and Tillman, came from Carrsville several years ago. Parson R. L. Jones is a candidate for the Biggest Eater, judging from his stay at the dining table each meal. Halifax county also sent to us in '26, a nice young man who goes by the name of Johnson. From New Jersey there came to us Charles Lloyd in the fall of '26. The Secretary of our Class. Jerry Shelton, has ambitions to become the commanding oflicer of the chain gang at Sing Sing. In the fall of '23 there hailed from Norfolk a likeable young man, Sidney Quong. Fred Harcum, the humble historian, left his home in Southhamption county and affiliated himself with H. M. A. in 1923. Thus concludes the history of our Junior Class. 45 IN REMINISCENCE SOPHOVIORE SUHQDHWIOHMIUTG QHQRSS ' 01fF1c:ERs ' ....,,,A.... Preszdent M. Comms ..,, ..V A...........w A. H.

You know every one thinks his home town is the best in the world. I, the writer, am sure many of us have learned to love Hargrave, and especially some of the fairer sex in Chatham, that is, including C. E. I. Boys will be boys. Don't you think that is the proper way to enjoy school life? We are of that type, but yet we are serious and devote much of our time to class workg so you will see most of us among the Junior Class next year. We are a part of all we have met, yet experience is but an arch where through gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades forever and forever when we move. Our President, Maurice Combs, is a real mountaineer from Charleston, W. Va. However, we have not seen him 'Edoin' the Charleston. Hector Diago, the Vice-President, leads the class when it comes to athletics. He is a member of the Varsity Club and we would all be very proud if there were more like him from Porto Rico. His favorite word is amor,'i which means love in Spanish. Mr. Chester V. Muter, who looks like Andy Gump's son, Chester, comes from the cool region of New Britian, Conn. Now stepping across to Minnesota we found Casseday, our Sergeant Bugler, who is quite annoying by his irregularity of blowing the early morning call. The next stop is at Rising Sun, Md. Here we picked up Secretary Anderson. He is not fond of class work, but there are hopes of him becoming a great military leader some day. The goodslooking fellow, Aggie Aitcherson, hails from the National Capitol. We shall have to hand it to him for representing the most beautiful city in the world. Billy Kendall, the little f'Red Grange, comes to us from Richmond, the Capitol of the South. Fred Sample from Roanoke, has found his position as the Art Editor. He will soon equal Charles Dana Gibson, America's greatest artist and painter. Fred's Hold lady,', A1 Long, is also from Roanoke. The Long brothers are likely to be vamped by some of the Chathamites, and will, most probably, make their home here. Tommy Marston, the quiet boy, is also spending a while with us. He wants to get away from the crowd at Litwalton, Va. Josephus J. Smith, the noted French scholar, will probably be the French Professor at Har- grave. Dean Floyd hopes that Joe will complete the two-year French course before he finishes his Senior year. This is Joe's sixth year here. The only way we can account for this is that he does not board at the school. Spruce. another Chathamite, is making good in his rat year. He sure knows how to get excused every day from English class to take a drag on his pipe. Here are two more from Chatham, Meadows and Ingram. The first mentioned is a fiivver driver while the other is a studious chap. Take a look at Mr. McCanless from South Boston! Don't you think he has worked hard, endeavoring to get out of work? Samuel Frost Jenkins, one of the milk-maids in Colonel Camden's daily, will probably be a great veterinarian. He hails from the town of Carrsville. The Shurling Brothers, lnc., came to us from Georgia. Tinsy, the eldest, is a military genius and declaimer. The other, Bill, has the knack of getting into more trouble than any other boy in school. From Florida, the land of sunshine, comes 'gsmilingu Stewart to make his second term with us. Just a little further south we find Maluf of Cuba. He expects to be an engineer. T. the historian, join with the rest of the class in the closing line: We are 'istrong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. 48 .v.v. . .v.v.v. .v.v. . .v.v.v.v.v. .v.v.v.v. . . . .v- 5 r.v.v.v.v.v.v-v.v.v.v. . v.v.v.v. .v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v. . . , I IN REMINISCENCE ?,.J7 ' ff ,- Y. ...

The saying is good and trueg for while we are possibly small in stature, yet it is our proud boast that we can equal our older brothers in the things to be desired. We are quite sure that some of our members, who have shown themselves to be promising athletes, will some day, in the very near future, become the leaders in athletics at our dearly beloved school. During the past year we have learned how to snap out of the slouch vto carry ourselves a little straighter. Indeed it was hard at first, for the great majority of us were 'ggreenn in military matters-we didn't know the difference between 'fsquads right and 'Aright by squads. Needless to say we soon learned, for the reward of ignorance was extra drill in the afternoon when we longed to feel free for a couple of hours from the steady routine. How those bugle calls did mix us up in the beginning! School call seemed to be church call, recall became mixed with drill callg but there was one call we very soon caught on to, and that was mess call. We have carried, during the past year, the very distinguishing title of rats -doesn't sound so very good and it surely had its troubles. As we joined the student body of Hargrave Military Academy, we were promptly presented with the rat,' rules. Were they hard, you ask? As we look back now we hesitate as to the best answer, but should you have asked us that question at the beginning of school we would have answered without hesitation, yes. We have passed through the trials and troubles of our Brat year and now we have the pleasure of looking forward to next year when we will be old boys with all the dearly sought-for-privileges. However, before leaving this subject, we would like to say that on the whole we have been treated fairly by the old boys. We do not know exactly what our professors think of us-but we hope that we have suc- ceeded in making a good impression on them. We are youngg we are not serious, but we do study once in awhile and perhaps when we come back next year we shall have a different attitude. Who knows? Nobody. As we leave we do so with pleasant memories of our first year at Hargrave Military Academy, and we hope to spend many more and some day to graduate cum laude. 51 , . .v. . t . . . .v.v. . . mv. .

L. CAMDEN Right Tackle Speed, silence, power, express our apprecia- tion of Camden. He did his best on all occa- sions and it mattered not whether his oppo- nent was small or large, his same dogged per sistence prevailed. We would like to have more of 'em like Bob. and his services will be surely missed. W. L. SMITH Full Back Game as they make 'emf' and fighting to the last whistle is the way Smith played foot- ball and, incidentally, why he had the privi- lege of playing through nearly every game of the season. If Smith keeps going like he has done with us, we are sure he will make good in his college athletic career. J. C. OLIVER Left Tackle Playing through several years of football has shown he possessed that stuff out of which a real player is made. A quick charger and a hard tackler made him a troublesome quan- tity to be reckoned with by his opposing line- men. With all this experience Oliver should develop into a tower of strength in days to come. P. A. KNOWLTON Center Knowlton was affiliated with his athletic as- sociates within a short duration of time im- mediately upon arrival at H, M. Af-and to prove himself a real sport, he reciprocated every time. Parker is not what we might call a g'Rudolph Valentino sheik. but his agreeable outlook, his sportsmanship. his non- egotistical self, and his very being are quali- fications which Rudolph himself didn't enjoy. 65 A IN REMINISCENCE Allllefkmerican ossi iiiitfiies J if 'P of J 1111 lb 1 C. H. CHRISMAN Right Tackle Chrisman was always on the job, and ready to give his best every time he was called upon. Suffering from a sprained ankle the entire season, he was severely handicapped, but played a speedy and consistent game at right tackle, in spite of his injuries. He will be of value to his college and we are sure he will continue to uphold his enviable reputation in athletics. W. o. BLoxoM Right End This was Bloxomis first year at holding the regular position of right end, but he showed much speed and natural ability in receiving forward passes. He possesses no end of fight and spirit and was undoubtedly one of the hardest working men on the team and should play an unusually good game next season. W. L. SCOTT Quarter-Hack This constitutes the second school year of friendly association with Scottie. the much loved manager of our football team. From the initial of participation in athletics, he has put forth his very best abilityg he has fought hard for his beloved schoolg he has proven to be a clean sport and a fair player. Faithful- ness seems to be his motto, for he is ever back of old Orange and Black-striving to push his Alma Mater to the highest of supremacy-and usually he has, with wonderful success. R. R. MAPP , Right Half There is no question as to Mapp's ability on the football field for he demonstrated this when he won a letter in his 'Grain year. Mapp proved a valuable man at right half and his team spirit did much to build the morale of the eleven. We are sorry to lose Mapp and we wish him success in his chosen field. May he have the same grit and determination in the game of life as he has shown on the gridiron. 66 . . IN REMINISCENCE XM t J All:American possibilities E. A. HARPER Quarter-Back This youngster was mistaken several times for the mascot of the team before a contest. but never afterwards. As a member of the football squad he has been the terror of our opponents, having always acquitted himself with honor, both for the team and himself. His prowess has not gone to his head, how- everg he is the same Chubby we first knew. B. E. BEALE Left-Half Yes, he is little in stature but otherwise, very loud. He has shown his grit and deter- mination by making the Varsity Football Team this yearg and, with such fine spirit. he has won the respect of both the faculty and the student body. When we think of the little half-back, who put terror in the souls of opposing teams, we think of the real gen- tleman, not only around the fair sex, but at all times. J. D. TAYLOR Right-Guard This was Taylor's first year of football at H. M. A. He is built for wear and can stand a lot of punishment. He proved himself a valuable man at his position and helped in no small degree the success of the team. He possesses no end of fight and spirit and should develop into real university material. We hate to lose Taylor, but he is among those who depart from H. M. A. this May. J. SPRUCE Left-End One of the many who for the first time donned football togs for H. M. A., and one of the few who earned a letter. Spruce was a fast player and did excellent work. If Spruce keeps on going like he did this first season as a regular, he will play a whale of a game next season. We are glad Spruce has several years with us. 67 IN REMINISCENCE AlleAmerican lpossiilbillities H. W. DERBY Left-End This handsome little fellow made his debut at H. M. A. in September, 1926. He imme- diately made inquiries into the athletic asso- ciation of the school-and of course his thirst to enter the 'cbig game was very shortly quenched. As a result of his kind attitude toward all and his grit and determination, he was thrown into the thick of things, and won for himself a name in the athletic circle. He is gentle in manner, fair in the game, just with his opponents, and a sport of unique athletic qualifications. T. M. HALLIGAN Sub. Right-End This young gentleman made his appearance at Hargrave in the fall of '26, lt was soon perceived by everybody that he desired to serve his school in the realm of athletics. lt was not long before he donned football togs and began to earn for himself quite a reputa- tion in this sport. He showed in his playing that he was really in earnest, giving himself whole-heartedly into the spirit of the game. We can truthfully say that Halligan has al- ways shown himself to be a true sport, display- ing at all times his gentlemanly qualities. J. R. CARRIKER Left-Guard This was Carrikerls first year at football but he showed he possessed the real qualifications for a good gridiron warrior. He was a hard, conscientious worker and did much towards the success of the eleven. He developed real football brains and we are glad he will be with us next year. C. V. MUTER Sub. Right Tackle While this was Muter's first year with the football eleven yet he proved himself to be somewhat of a good player. He did his best when he could serve and deserved the compli- 1 ents he received. With his first year's ex- perience he should make good material for next year's eleven. 68 A IN REMINISCENCE M' XM' 3 w .. wc. ,Ml 1 U fr JUNIOR FOOTBALL TEAM 69 I g IN REMINISCENCE 1, ' 04 Athletic review In the fall of '26 thirty-five athletes responded to the call of Coach Towill for gridiron warriors. Four of these men were varsity letter men of last year's team and around these men Coach Towill built a formidable gridiron machine to uphold the honor of Old Orange and Black. Our initial game was slated with Altavista High School. It was in vain that Altavista tried to stop the fierce drives of the Tigers and they had to be contented with the small end of an 18-0 score. We had the misfortune in this game to have our Captain and star tackle severely injured. Lynchburg Athletic Club came to Hargrave with the high expectation of stopping our steam- roller but they fared no better than Altavista and went home defeated by a score of 20-0. Possibly Staunton Military Academy's reputation served as a scare for our team for somehow the fighting spirit of the team seemed to be dimmed. It was only at intervals that the team seemed to realize they were playing football and as a result the final outcome was in favor of S. M. A. by 20-0. The following Saturday we played the unbeaten V. E. team, one of the strongest grid teams in the state. In this game each man fought as if his very life depended on it and Do or Die seemed to be the motto of both elevens. It was the unanimous opinion that this game was one of the finest contests ever witnessed in Chatham. Hargrave finally overcame their opponents by the tune of a 6-0 score. The following Saturday V. E. S. defeated S. M. A., 18-0. Long will our game with V. E. S. be remembered, especially by those who played, for we were treated to an extra big supper given by Mr. Anderson, of the 'fCrystal Lunch. Blackstone Military Academy came here with a strong defensive team with high hopes of avenging the defeats of two previous years. The game was close and Hargrave was fortunate to score in the first period as Blackstone did not permit another touchdown. However, they did not even score and there was added to our winning column another victory of 7-0. Our warriors journeyed to Bedford to challenge the strong Randolph-Macon Academy's eleven. In a game filled with thrills that kept the final outcome in doubt until the last whistle, we lost, 8-0. Fork Union having her varsity men in a winning mood, failed to take pity on the crippled team from H. M. A. and defeated us by a score of 33-0. While our team put up a valiant fight yet they could not solve the offense of Fork Union. For the first time in the history of the school, D. M. I. triumphed over the team from H. M. A. in a whirlwind game and taking advantage of a blocked punt and a crippled team succeeded in scoring in the first period. Both elevens showed remarkable spirit and we were glorious even in defeat. The final score was 7-0 in favor of D. M. I. On Turkey day, Danville met defeat at the hands of the Cadet Team. Uncorking a running attack that seemed to be unstopable, Coach Towill's gridsters paved their way to a victory by crossing the last chalkline three times before the last whistle blew. The high school boys were able to chalk up but one score. The score was a pleasing one, 20-7. 70 ........... ...v.....o.........- I ...v.v.v.v.v.v.vv............. .. .. Q IN REMINISCENCE ff Y X At a meeting of the varsity letter men, Bloxom, our star right end, was elected captain for the coming year, while Derby, our fleet-footed end, was elected manager. The season's success can only be attributed to the splendid coaching of Coach Towill and the leadership of our Captain, Charles H. Chrisman, together with the splendid spirit of co- operation displayed by every member of the eleven. With but one letter man back and twenty other candidates for the basketball team, the out- come looks very promising. The majority of the games this year will be played on the home court and we are confident that the end of the season will show a favorable record for our basketball squad. The prospects of an exceedingly good baseball team are encouraging for the spring of '27 with six letter men of high caliber back this year. With the other members of last year's squad and an abundance of good Wat material, we feel assured of having a baseball team that will give a good account of themselves. A very good Track team is in sight to fight for the old Orange and Black this spring. With four letter men back and rat material which looks promising, we hope to have a stellar team. 71 IN REMINISCENCE X iw 'ia THE FIFTH BRANCH OF SP0RTs A gf ORGANIZATIONS IN REMINISCENCE M X ff - L 73 A IN REMINISCENCE Military Urganizafion C.

I IN REMINISCENCE .5315 I 5 DE .r gg BATTALION PARA IN REMINISCENCE 0 .f If Military Review When we were able to get our breath after the business of matriculation and organization of classes at the beginning of the year we had an idea that the worst of all the jobs was over and past, and that from then on there would be more or less easy sailing for the balance of the school year. But we calculated on too much. There was the usual run of 'frookiesn who had come to this institution, to be trained not only in regular class work but in military tactics and theories. The War Department continued the detail of Capt. B. J. Holt, Jr., to our Hall of Learning as Professor of Military Science and Tactics, and under his guidance the company was organized during the first week of classes. As his regular assistants on the outside were Cadet Capt. Chas. H. Chrisman, lst Lts. W. L. Smith and W. L. Scott, and 2nd Lts. C. W. Guerrant and R. M. Wilson. Under the instruction of these commissioned officers, and an able lot of non-commissioned officers, the new men were soon taught the basic principles of close order drill, and it was only a couple of weeks before we were performing Platoon close order drill in a commend- able manner. The Office force this year consisted of lst Lt. R. C. Fisher as Adjutant, Sgt. flater promoted to 2nd Lt.J Jos. R. Robinson as Company Clerk, and Sgt. C. W. flilarsl Anderson as Supply Department head. As soon as the men in the ranks were capable, they were issued rifles and Anderson had his hands full for awhile. The records in the office were incomplete and the filing system was such that it became difficult at times to locate important papers when needed, and it became Robinson's and Fisher's special duty to straighten out the maze, and make the filing as simplified as possible. Much progress has been made here, and this item was one which brought forth not a little Commendation from the Inspector on his visit. Military classes were organized, with Capt. Holt, and Cadet Officers Smith, Fisher, Shelton as teachers. These are for the purpose of giving the cadets the theoretical side of what they do on the field. Our new Faculty officer, Capt. J. Chester Swanson, came to us from the Univer- sity of Richmond, where he directed the, Spider Band, and his experience with musical organizations stood us in good stead this year, because we have the best band that we have had. While there is still much room for improvement in this one phase of training, our boys are progressing well, and we expect that next year will show a decided improvement, with many of the present members returning. On February 3rd, Lt. Col. Clarence Deems, R. 0. T. C. Officer of the Third Corps Area Headquarters, arrived to make the Annual lnspection of the Company. He found everything in splendid shape-the rooms clean, cadets neat and respectful, and was so delighted in the showing of the outfit that he recommended us to the Commanding General of the Corps Area for a Junior R. O. T. C. Unit. General MacArthur immediately approved the application, but the War Department was forced to again refuse this recognition because of the lack of sufficient personnel and 88 I IN REMINISCENCE ' x the inadequacy of funds with which to carry on this work. As this goes to press, Col. Deems is on the way to pay us another visit, and we are confident of making an even better showing than we did on the first inspection. Under the sterling leadership of Cadet Lt. K. B. Williams, the Rifle Team has again made itself rcognized as an outfit of unusual ability. It carried off the honors in the Third Corps Area Match with an aggregate score of 7391 out of a possible 8000. Lt. Williams made the high score in the Corps Area-759 out of a possible 800. The team has been awarded the Corps Area cup, and Lt. Williams was the recipient of the Gold Medal offered by the competing schools for the high score. Sgt. Easley and Prvt. Stephens were awarded silver and bronze medals respectively for the next highest scores at our school. The team has also participated in the National R. 0. T. C. Match and the Hearst Trophy Match, but until this writing no reports have been received, except to show that we made better records in these firings than were made in the Corps Area Match. lf we do not win these two matches, those who do will know that they were shooting against a team which could hit the bulls-eye oftener than it missed. Inclement weather forced us to curtail the range firing this year, with the result that we were unable to finish the slow firing. Of those who did shoot the cal. 30 rifles, Prvt. Stephens led the entire company with a 49 out of a possible 50. While it might appear on the surface that this school is trying to make students fond of war and the war game, it must be remembered that that is not the real pur- pose of a military school, or of military training. It is rather to train the youth in those principles of gentlemanliness which cannot well be inculcated at any other kind of school. Here he learns courtesy, punctuality, patriotism and persistence. Military training, after all, is not to make young men fond of war, but to make them hate it, with all the horrors it brings. Our Faculty is to be complimented for their support of our cadet company. Their co-operation and encouragement have made it possible for us to be recognized in many respects, and have made us nationally known. We hope for a continuance of that same policy in the future that has characterized them in the past. 89 A IN REMINISCENCE f 1 SNAPSHOTS SOCIAL ACTIVITIES , WP: - 'Lf . .V -1-1 ,V ,ra :ul-. -:VV 1, ' vrfffff 'Q . 45 ' , V .
