Y ORACLE 1929 ,Q nj FoREWoR1o Kind Reader: You now hold a book in your hands, something which is to be looked through, studied and probably criticized, but to some, who will hold this ORACLE, it means more than merely a book. These pages hold something dear to the boys whom you will find within. These' pages hold our records upon them. They carry our minds back to the good times and the hard times we have had at our dear old school, and to others they remind of something more-the 'gtake'-off , into the great unknown, Life, which means that we must never cease to struggle, but to constantly carry on in honor of Hargrave. Therefore, we cherish every page. W e have tried hard to make a success of this book and we believe that we have done well. W e know that there must be a number of mistakes evident but, kind reader, we trust that you will overlook these and hold in mind that we have done our best. In the' future, we hope to be more! perfect. Now, as ywou go further into this book, we will say jiareiwiell, and to the future Editors, we' wish you all success in your publications. -THE EDITOR. 4 ss T . 1V13.-A-g. as e 1 if R LE ' 1 DEDIICATION IIN DEEP APPRECIATION OF THE KINDNESS AND LOVE SHOVVN THE OADETS OF THIS INSTITUTION WE THE ORACLE STAIJP OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TWENFX NINE AFEEOTIONATELY AIND DE VOTEDLY DEDIOATE THIS THE FIFTEENTH VOL EDVVARD ALI EN FLOYD AN INSFRUOTOR AS PVI DENOF O11 OUR LOVE 11MA .

'4Smoky is one of our Dutchmen with the exception that he is a very quiet fellow. He came to Hargrave in the Spring of '27 and has been here since, he seems to care a lot for dear ol' Hargrave, for he remained over the past Summer and finished a lot of work. L4Smoky,' has made quite a lot of friends since he came to Hargrave and he is liked by all of us. He doesn't like the athletic field so much, but he is a smart guy in class. He leaves us with the intention of becoming a great business-man, and if he continues with the same spirit he has shown here at Har- grave, we are sure that he will reach his goal.

'6Red', is another of the Pittsylvania boys who was out looking for his famed long-eared mule one day in the Fall of '25, when, by chance, he ran upon Hargrave and took a likin, to the place to such an extent that he has been with us since. We never did find out just where the mule was found, but uRed,' hasnit bothered about it in the least, so we think that perhaps the old plug was heart- broken and passed away to unknown lands. HPted', is a very likable fellow among the cadets and the Faculty, and he has also shown up well on the athletic field. As you leave us, uRed,,' we extend our best wishes for your success in this big world. s ,,,,-s.w,,,,,,,.,..-.-.4-...m,..,,,..,, t L , ,,.,,,,,,,.....f.. H.

This noble lad came to us in the fall of 328 and was enthusiastic to become a Key- det. He did not sleep for several nights, won- dering when his uniform would get here, so he could strut it to town with the rest of the boys. 'LChef,' is very popular among the students and faculty, and in the class room he takes the lead in all of his work. He also belongs to our famous debating team., We are sorry that this is a'Chef's only year with us, but still we feel sure that- he will make a great success in whatever he under- takes, and the sooner he starts the better it will be. Be of good cheer, my friend, the world has great things in store for you. fi,y------ .H , - ..,.. .. .....,, .,,,., ,,,, , ,, Q , I ,qY,,,,,., ,Luv - '47 W ' ' j-4-R :1--. .14-,LT,,T,,AQ,Agmwyl M f W - ,.,s...l4....,.sf.r.ir..i f- ff 'V - Eff 'iff 'I I ' -.1-.v..Ju,,z.w4.s:ruLeau..2m Q, 55,1-H 'fs 'l ' MRM r 'r' -f--- - - , ,L ,M V - -.

'4Bill', is a fast worker and gets things. He has a mind which will develop into a great editing machine some day, one which will do most everything but print the matter. Bill,, isn't so fond of athletics, but he does his part on the bleachers, helping the team as much as he can. He isn't a genius in classes, but he is sure of his work.

He has been with us four years and with his bugle seems to be an indispensable part of Hargrave. He has never tried his luck at usheikingv around Chatham, but from the looks of his picture gallery he is a great success. March on, Elliott.

Nothing but his strong personality and good favor enabled him to gain the title of dignified senior, and he has done well since that attainment. c'Crap', has made many friends here at Har- grave and he will be missed by all.

Here, ladies and gentlemen, is a young fel- low from the state of West Virginia. He is a constant wearer of the smile, therefore the name '4Smiles. Lawrence is a fine fellow and is liked by everyone in school, he likes to sleep in class, but he is always there when the reports are made out, so we believe that he is merely having visions of his future instead of so much sleeping. HSmiles visits Danville quite often and We are prone to believe that he has a ufairi' in- terest over in that town, although We never hear him speak of Sher. Smiles,' leaves us now, with the intentions of doing great things and we feel sure that he will succeed if he will only keep up his same spirit that he has shown while with us here at Hargrave, so, luck to you, uSmiles, ol' boy, THOMAS M.

He came down in the Fall of '25, and has been the same HHappy all the time. He is an artist, too, ladies and gentlemen, an artist in several ways.

He is liked by all who know him because of his Go- getemi' qualities. uBob,, leaves this year to take up Pharmacy at the University and we feel sure that he will make a very good stu- dent and come out with high honors.

'6Holly is one of the popular Keydets as anyone here will tell you. He also likes to ramble down town with the fairer sex, and is always return- ing to Hargrave with different types of ribbon and other apparel, we don't have the inquisi- tive attitude, however, and we haven't found out where he gets the many items or how, but we are sure it is all right with every one.

Lee has only been with us two short years, but in that small length of time he has proven himself not only a gentleman at all times, but student and friend that all will remember for years to come. Though not a brilliant stu- dent, he has stayed above the average and worked hard in all his classes. Moore is not an athlete, but has used his spare time repre- senting Hargrave on the platform as a debater. Lee's anticipated vocation is fbeniting mag kind in the highest way, that o ministry.

'4Scot is one of the kind who is forever doing something, a restless lad. He has been with us before but was forced to stop school for awhile. He is leaving us this year, though, to 'enter some University in order to prepare himself for a lawyer, and We feel sure that there Will not be another one who can defeat him in a case. g'Scot has proven to Colonel Floyd that a guard sheet is the most unneces- sary thing ever written, and he has about con- vinced him also that he can get better results if he will let the cadets do just what they think best.

HAI comes to us from the town of Java, a little place back here a few miles from school and he has a habit of going some place most every week-end, we presume that he has a very good reason for his frequent visits away from school, because he doesn't have much to say to the MChathamites7' at all. HAI leaves us now with the determination of entering a school of higher learning in which he hopes to learn new methods of farm- ing, so that he might show the future farmers how to grow their produce in a much more profitable manner, and we feel sure that he will make a success of his calling because he has the old-fashioned determination.

HEATHSVILLE, VIRGINIA Private, Company HB , Corporal, Company MA , Second Lieutenant, Company A , Mem- ber: Eureka Literary Society, Blue Ridge Club, Football Squad, Baseball Squad, Mana- ger, Basketball. Since the Fall of '26, HPig has been one of the most faithful contributors to both, the athletics and the military departments of our school. He possesses a mind which is made up of a variety of powers, it seems, and with these powers '4Pig has done much for the better- ment of Hargrave. He has a good word for everyone he meets and is forever joking some- one, so don't be uneasy when NPig', is around. He is perfectly harmless. As you leave us, ol' boy, we ask that you think of us often, because you have won the admiration of all. II R , 1 ,........,..,.--.. ......,...- I X 1 'MnM'RwaS ' I. .... ,.., . ..... . -ra -f M '-.

This fellow, ladies and gentlemen, is none other than HPalmoliven Smith, or, the boy with the schoolgirl complexion. He is a very line lad, quiet and reserved, but when he says something it is something worthwhile. All the boys like 4LPalmolive and he is quite popular with the Faculty, too. ln class he is a genius and helps others along with their work, too. He is on the Honor Roll each month, something which every cadet would like to accomplish.

Hugh came to Hargrave in the Fall of '24 with a shotgun on his shoulder, and following him were two hounds baying fiercely. He took H. M. A. to be a restaurant and decided to take dinner with us, but later found that It was a school and decided to stay with us. Like several of us, he is not so fond of his books, but still he gets by and is a well-liked cadet.

HDick is the name of the fellow you now are interested in. He came to us in the Fall of '27 and has made an excellent record while here. On the athletic field he hasn't hung up many records, but in class he has made up for the other deficiencies. '4Diek,' is a fine fellow liked by all who know him, because he is a straight-along fel- low. He holds a good position among the Cadet Corps, being Drum Major, a place which every cadet would like to hold, and we have reasons to believe that '4Dick will hold greater and more responsible positions in life, so, as you leave us, 46Dick,,' we are looking forward to the day when we shall hear of g1'eat things you have done.

' xv X A ?: ' x A K yr e 11.M.A. X 1 j URACLE- 1 9 2 9 - iuumior' Qlass History HUnited we stand, divided we fallf, Such is the motto of the Junior Class. We entered the year with it as our slogan and it has served us faithfully through the trials and tribulations of the school year and we fully believe that if each of us lives up to his part it will help us to form friendships which will better enable us to Ncarry on in that vast area ahead of us, called-LIFE. , At the beginning of the year when it came time to choose a president to- guide the destinies of the class, all eyes turned to Lieutenant H. W. Stephens of Charleston, W. Va., and thus far he has shown us that we made no mistake. Assisting HSteve are two other fine fellows. The first, 4'Pop Atkinson from High Point, N. C. Besides being o-ur vice-president, he is a whale of a tackle on. the football team, while our secretary, '4Jake,' McL.ean, a Hopewell, Virginia. product, is one of the finest back fielders to grace an H. M. A. gridiron in recent years. Another pair of gridiron stars are the '4Alex- andria Twinsf, Bode and Armstrong, both of whom tip the scales at over 200 pounds. The whole class was saddened after the holidays to learn that '4Runt Dale of Goldsboro, N. C., and 4'Blue Law Bunts, claiming Pulaski as his home, had decided not to return. Both were fine fellows and will be greatly missed. We have another trio of footballers in Rufiie Charnock, our smashing fullback from the Eastern Shores, Homer Essex, a crack guard from Richmond, and '5Whoozie Manley, another linesman who hailed from the state of Washington. Two North Carolinians and roommates are Spencer Harris from Raleigh and uPathe,' Smathers from HThe Land of the Skyf' Hank Dalton is ano-ther one from the aOld North State, and his chum, F.. J. Davis is a real sheik from Martinsville, Virginia, while E. J.'s cousin, uMutt Goode, has the girls of Henry at his feet. Frank Goode, '4Mutt's,' cousin, is another one of our popular '4RATS, but he is undecided as to where he is fro-m. The Whitehead brothers, Camden and Carey, and the Hodnetts, James and Fred, together with Leslie Whitehead, a cousin of the former pair, brings the number of Chathamites in the class to five. Shelton, a Grundy youth, appeared at Hargrave with hay-seed in his hair, he is now our class marksman. From Keysville comes 'gRace-Horse Hailey, who won his long deserved shoulder bars this year. Two Kaydets who shouldn't be popular but are, are Jack Willis, our bugler, and his assistant, '4Late Houseman. Both come from Richmond. George HSilent', Daughtry comes to us from Norfolk, but don't hold it against him. Another fine fellow is 4'Johnny', Burke, whose home is in Manassas. Two members hailing from the national capital are Donald Hu1'd, who tries very hard to be a wit,7' but has only half succeeded, and Belt, who has already lost his heart at Chatham Hall. We are blessed with two more from the North, they are Birch and Cohn, both from Mount Vernon, N. Y., also 6'Sugar Turk, who left his heart in Baltimore, and his roommate, uFireman Allyne of New Jersey, who is well acquainted with the '6Danvillites. We are glad to introduce the two inseparables, 6'Jerry,, Strain from Lexington, and uPuddin- head Westerman, from Clifton Forge. These two are always up to something, but they always come out right: side up. Another from Clifton Forge is Roy Burks, and 4'Squint,' Tolley, from Lexington. Both are popular '4Rats. We have three Roanoke lads with us. uGoofie Guy is a regular bean pole, while 4'Fitz Warren is just the opposite. Roy L'Monty Montgomery, the third of the Roanoke lads, has lost his heart here in Chatham some place and we don't know just where. Last, we have HBill Rush, from the 'cSmoky City,', and then we have 4'Pluto Arritt, from Fredericksburg, Va. u And now kind readers, after looking over our roster, I, the historian, feel sure that you will Join me in calling this class and its members, 4'The Cream of the Cropf, 58 gg A if ll.

They have hitched their wagon to a star and are driving full speed ahead. We feel sure that this has been a real year for the Sophomores. First, please let us glance at our class officers and you will see some good reasons for the Sophomores' successful year. t ' Hugh Vaughn, our president, hails from Baltimore. He is a demon on the gridiron, but a lamb at Chatham Hall. aBowser has shown that he is true blue in every respect since the day he set his foot on H ' argrave soil. Frank Hubbard our vice president co f , - , mes rom Buffalo, N. Y. He proved his worth in basketb ll d ' A ' ' ' . . a an made his letter. This 1S something unusual for a man to do 1n his first year. - uLon Chaney, our secretary, is a sheik from Paces, Va., and stars in all indoor sports. Now let us present to you our uAll-Americansvl' in the football worldf we h .l k H ' ' ave ac arris, from Richmond, Va., who has scored many a touchdown, we have uKid Dyer from Roanoke, who is one of Har rave? b t kl g s es tac ers, and will undoubtedly make h1s letter next season., We have c'Ham Short from Vinton, Va. Hamm la d hr ' ' ' p ys en on t e football team and makes a line Job of it. uHam is also a star NSouthpaw pitcher. Hadley and Booth Whitfield are from St Petersburg Fla dee d ' h . . g, ., p own in t e sunny Florida everglades. Hadley is a great painter and swimmer, while his brother is -well l'k d b h H 7' 44 ' ' 1 e y t e rats as well as the old fellows. Feeniel' Vaughn is from the good ol' city of Richmond, Va. He- has a good chance next year to make the football and baseball teams. Verne Ramsey and Walter Coles are true Chathamites, both sport big cars and consequently are popular with the fair sex. Burchette, from Wirtz, Va., and c'Pea- n,ut'7 Hackney, from Danville, Va., are our two 'promising young ministerial students. Ward Essex formally lived at the home of the Ford, but now lives in Richmond, Va. He is the idol of a certain girl at Chatham Hall. Scottie Lockwood hails from Havana, Cuba. He is the boy that visits A. C. in Danville right often. c'Slim Carner comes from Spotsylvania, Va., and is one of those Fredericksburgsheiks. Walter Jones came to us from Nathdale, Va., and is an ardent reader of the Tarzan books. HPuss lVlcGhee is from Durham, N. C., and played on the Sophomore basketball team which won the league championship. uBeef Richardson, the cow- boy from Callands, Va., showsf that he is a real indoor track man at times.. . 'ulessiel' Townsend is the school inventor 'who comes from the state of Michigan. O'Brien reached here from Cumberland, lVld., and is unusually fond of reading Detective Stories. I Wagner, promising young minister, is the sole Sophomore on the rifle team this year. . n , Little can be said about Historian little NCook, .but friends., you can readily see that the Sophomore Class enjoyed a big year during the session 1928 and 29. 61 r fl fi' ,Q .

This Cboy was very small but thi d'd ' h' d h' ' ' ' ' s 1 nt in er im, not at all, he had mole room to show what was in him. This young man made a record for himself in athletics here h th , ' f advanced as they are today, and he also graduated from here University of Richmond the following year, his one determination was to make all teams theie d h an t is he did. It was at Richmond that Captain Towill was fforever conqueringj, and he has gone by this name since Upon graduation from Richmond, 'cCaesar had visions way back in his mind of showing ol' Hargrave how it was done. He came here, the next year and has been here since. Now comes the sad part. This man whom- the cadets of this academy have learned to love and the man who has brought athletics to' the top for Hargrave, is leaving us this year to accomplish greater things in life and it is with great sorrow that we see him go, but we know that he knows best and will make a success no matter where he goes or what he doesg so, to you, Captain Towill, as you go forth into the great world, We, the cadets of Hargrave Military Academy, humbly extend to you and yours, our very best and most sincere wishes and wish for you to remembe th ' ' ' ' ' r at we are all with you in spirit and mind, no matter what your next undertaking may be. w en ey werent so ar with hiffh honors Entering given the name of Caesar tt f 1 r 68 FOOTBALL SQUAD 'WRT A ORACLE 1929 W llqlnoifllmallll Scores H, M, A, ,,,,,, , .............. 0 Oak Ridge ........... --------- 7 5 H, M, A, ,,,,,, .,,.... 0 Staunton M.

We are expecting great things from ffGene,' next year. . H. G. ESSEX Guard Essex is among the one of the '4Rats that made the Varsity eleven this year. Essex proved himself a fast man in the line. He was always on the job. We are looking forward next year for Essex's re- turn to fight for Old Orange and Black. W. J. MANLEY Guard Manley is one of the hardest fighting men on the field. He- did no-t make his letter last year, but he came back this year with a good determination that he would win himself a place on the big team. His dreams came true. Manley is planning to come back next year, and we feel sure he will do great work for the Big Eleven. S. A. DEAN Center This was Dean's second year out for the Varsity eleven.

And now let us take a look at the, men who, through their untiring efforts, enabled us to clinch the Prep. School Championship of the State. With the return of Captain Halligan, Lynn, Baughn and Collie from last C 1 . . . year, oach Towill found himself only with the problem of unearthing a standing guard. This hole was soon plugged by Essex, a Rat, and Spruce, a last year's substitute, while two snappy little forwards, Hubbard and McLain, filled the utility roles. P Some of the high lights of the season included our two crushing defeats of our ancient rival, D. M. l., by the scores of 35 to 141 and 26 to 16. Our two victories over Blackstone Military Academy. The 30 to 21 defeat handed to Randolph-Macon Academy, and the never-to-be-forgotten 34 to 33 over Virginia Episcopal School, one of th ' ' ' ' e strongest teams 1n the state. This victory practically clinching for us the champions-hip. A As this goes to press, the team is on its way to Lexington to compete in the Southern Tournament d k ' ' an we now that, regardless of how they finish, they will be in there fighting every minute for Old Orange and Black and if an team d , , y owns them they will know they have been in a real scrap. Next came basketball, with four veterans back. Coach really made other coaches throughout the state k H , wor . e put on the floor a team which really could follow his principles. Last season Hargrave had one of the best teams that ha s ever represented the school, but due to inclem-ent weather we were unable to fulfill our schedule. Playing the- leading Prep. Schools of Virginia and North Carolina, the outcome was very successful. It would be needless for me to give you further details of the season, more than to give you the high lights of the schedule. Taking a week trip to Richmond and meeting the leading Prep. School of that section. By defeating all of these teams we returned to sch l t l V' ' ' oo o p ay 1rg1n1a Episcopal School, claimants for the state championship. Meeting this team we defe t d th 44 ' ' r ' ' ' a e em to 0. We were in line for the championship, but being late in the season we were unable to compete with Fishburne Military School for the trophy. The prospects for this year's team looks good. With six letter men back, a winning team is expected. Our Track team of last year was one of the best teams that this school has ever produced. With Captain Diago leading the team, he proved to be a real leader and was also high-point man for the year. 81 3 11.M.As.,, b ' 41 . ' ORACLE 1 929 Y Our first meet 'was a triangular meet with Randolph-Macon Academy and Vir- ginia Episcopal School. It was held at the latter school in Lynchburg. This was one of the most interesting meets of the s-eason. This was the first and last defeat throughout the entire season for us. . Next, the team 'went to Randolph-Macon Academy and easily Won by a large score. Coach Towill showed his confidence in the team by carrying only nine men on this trip. His expectations were fulfilled, as the few men conquered nine out of thirteen first places and got more than their share in second and third. The following week a strong team from Lynchburg High journeyed here only to taste defeat by the Heet-footed cad-ets. Hargrave completely outclassed them in nearly every event. Later on in the season five men were picked to go to Charlottesville to 'enter into the State Interscholastic meet sponsored by the University of Virginia. These men made an exceptional good showing. ' C Closely following this meet, Coach Towill carried twenty men to Chapel Hill, sponsored by the University of North Carolina. In this meet the team upheld the past records by 'winning third place. ln closing, among the rats that are out for this Year's team, none have shone phenominally, but all consistently. We still have the stellar performances of our four letter men back from last year, including Captain Lynn. l'XNx.gW6?mxmn is 'cz' to Wax?-Qy A XQ g f' 5, 3.355 3 L sz-4 35324 .wi-S-sg? ..

GOODE A GRA-CLE-1 , 9 av. y Military Review Much to the enthusiasm of the new men Cbetter known as uBats l school had been opened but a few days when first call for drill was heard. Before the ring had left their ears most of the uBats were already in line and waiting for the next event. N ' 'h ot so.w1t the old men because one could read regret across their faces, but at the same time, duty 1S duty and they knew it The eagerness of th . - y D e new men was some- what subdued when they found that they were not to get rifles then. They were a d' ' td b h ' - 1sappo1ne unc when they were told that rifles wouldn't be issued until the knowledge of squad and platoon drill was mastered With the abilit d d t n . . . . y an eer- mlnatlon of the commissioned and non-commissioned oliicers, and with the desire of the new me t ' ' n o possess a real army rifle, this part of the schedule was soon com- pleted and then came the order for rifles to be issued. For his fifth consecutive year, Captain B. J. Holt Jr is back as head of the Military department. With the approval of the President, he appointed as his assistants, Senior C t ' C. W ' ' ap a1n . Guerrant as Corps Commander. F 1rst Lieutenant H. W. Stephens, Second Lieutenants B. B. Chipman, T. M Halligan and P. C. Hailey Under the careful instruction of these officers and with a competent staff of non-coms, we soon had a cadet corps that could execute the movements very well. The new men were found to be trustworthy 'with the rifles and were enjoying this new life immensely. The old boys were glad of this too, because the continual instruction of the same things- was getting their patience, and too, they had been over all this last year and they didn't see any reason for doing it all over again. However, 'we have constantly improved and have an excellent unit. The office staff is composed of Captain Adiutant R. C. Fisher, First Lieutenant Ouarter-Master G. B. Purcell. Sergeant lVlaior W. H. Lynn, Company Clerk Sergeant H. D. Goode and Sergeants K. Turk and H. lVI. Tomlinson in charge of the armory. Color Sergeants, T. B. Westerman and W. N. Coles. The stud-ent body is especially proud of its rifle team which has won the third corps area match for the third consecutive year, which causes us to be the permanent possessor of the beautiful cup donated to the area by Colonel E. A. Deems, the Third Corps Area inspector. The success of our team is due to the coaching of Captain Holt, along with the assistance' of Lieutenant Purcell, Captain of the team and a few of the older men. As this goes to press the team is completing the final stages of the National match to gain another hold on the cup now being held tem- porarily. We hope to be as successful in this match as we were last year. We have had two informal inspections and have been recommended for a B. O. T. C. unit. The range firing is progressing nicely so far, the new men are showing up fine, but we can't tell so much about how the outcome w1ll be yet. Lieutenants Purcell and Hailey are in charge of this detail.
