BurtTON House Mother Housekeeper The Sword of Robert E. Lee Forth from its scabbard, bare and bright, Out of its scabbard, never hand Flashed the sword of Lee. Waved sword from stain as free, Far in the front of the deadly fight, Nor purer sword led braver band, High o’er the brave in the cause of Right Nor braver band bled for brighter land, Its stainless sheen, like a beacon light, Nor brighter land had a cause so grand, Led us to Victory. Nor cause a chief like Lee. Forth from its scabbard all in vain Bright flashed the sword of Lee; ’Tis shrouded now in its sheath again, It sleeps the sleep of our noble slain, Proudly and peacefully. —Father Ryan.

I am giving below a few extracts from my dairy. When the train rolled out of Greensboro, much to my surprise, | found that Howard Branch was to be my traveling companion. It seems that Howard is head salesman for the dogs taken by Evans in his world-famous dog-catching establishment. From him I learned that Shelor is winning fame as the foremost con- struction engineer of South America, and that his wife, Aleine, is as charming as ever, and that Koonce is the famous professional basketball player, Putenin. As we passed through Chatham, we noticed on the platform Barrow and Ha den. While we did not have time to speak to them we heard that they and J. B. Hardy were considered the foremost farmers of the state. March 22—Lynchburg. Who should I meet this morning but Rev. R. L. Moore, pastor of Lynchburg’s largest church? He told me that J. D. Clark was converting people by the trainload in Africa, and that Best and High held small but important charges in the West Virginia mountains. Deciding that I should like to look old R. M. A. over, I ran up to Bedford for the afternoon. Capt. “Monk” Alexander met me when I entered the door of the old school. Coach Terry, the man who turns out the championship football teams of R. M. A., soon entered and welcomed me. I was told that ‘““The Palms” was making “Phil” Burks rich. March 23. Met Justice this morning as I got off the train in Petersburg. He took me around to the court with him to meet some more of the Class of ’23. I decided that I would stay for the first case when I found that it was Pitt Contracting Co. versus Vaughan Son, Clothiers. Justice was counsel for Pitt, who was attempting to collect from Vaughan for the erection of an annex to his store. Father Edwin, once “Skim- mige’ Booth, was one of the witnesses to the contract. You may not believe it but Edwin took “orders” after Frances married someone else. “Judge” Harrison was on the bench. Going to the station I noticed, as I passed a picture show, a billboard which adver- tised a film production in which “Souse” Clark, the second Grifhth, was presenting Pete Abernethy, supported by Wm. Wynne, the noted Texas two-gun man. March 24. Arrived in Richmond last night and put up at the Hotel Graham. As I was leaving the hotel pool I noticed that Julian C. Taylor and the hotel owner, Graham, were practicing for the Olympic games. I met Brinser this morning. John is now business manager for the Times-Dispatch. After much persuasion, I agreed to accompany them to the gambling hall run by White Thornton. March 25. Met Woodley at the gambling hall last night. He had come to Rich- mond to celebrate the sale of 2,000 tons of minnows to the famous sardine canners, Carey Brothers. Was approached by a bootlegger and dope runner this morning and was surprised to recognize ““Dopie” Davis. Page twenty-three Sabre March 26—Baltimore. Accompanied Kinney in the pilot boat to meet the Western Star this morning. You can imagine my surprise when First Officer Mac- Donald met me at the ladder and showed me aft to Capt. Goodall. A little later I found myself talking to Zink and Price, the coal magnates, who were just returning from observing conditions in Europe. We heard a great racket forward and decided to see what it was. Behold! there was Chief Engineer Willis attempting to get the two Dericksons back into the stoke hold. We found that they had shipped to get ma- terial for their next book, ‘“T'wo Years Feeding a Ship’s Boiler.” Looking over a list of the passengers I noticed R. E. Taylor’s name and, upon asking for him, was informed that, while leaning over the rail attempting to see his face in the water, he had fallen overboard and drowned. My day was additionally marred and saddened upon hearing that Headley and Ham- mock had met their death attempting to raise a rebellion in Mexico. March 27. Poor “Buzzard” and “Possum!” Hearing that they were in Dr. Camp- bell’s private asylum I thought I would pay them a visit. While still some distance from the asylum, I heard Read giving the battalion some command. As soon as I entered the grounds, Hundley rushed forward to greet me. We had not been talking five minutes when he asked me if I did not bring him a contract from the Giants. I recognized the two keepers who hovered around as Nooe and Payne. March 29. I arrived at John Wright’s Kentucky home and accompanied him when he inspected his famous horses this morning. Much to my surprise, I found that his two world-famous jockeys are really Pardue and little Steed, while the other Steed is his trainer. I was informed by John that J. F. Miller, the wealthy mine owner from Colorado, would arrive in the morning. March 30. Noticed in the paper this morning that W. C. Clements, former treas- urer of the Ford Motor Co., which position he had left with five million dollars in his pocket, had been captured in Norfolk by Sheriff Amos and Deputies Pollard and Clay. April 8. Thoughts of the members of the Class of ’23 and sadness over the untimely death of some, have so occupied my thoughts for the last week that I have failed to make any entries in my diary. JoHN M. WILts, Prophet. Senior Poem Taps have blown upon the Hill, But a bugle yet will blow, Our work is iaid aside, Blow in the dawn of another day, No more we'll hear the silver notes Sounding a clarion call to arms, Of the bugle, faint and clear, Our Alma Mater’s call to us: Calling us from thy stately halls. “Be good, be kind, be true.” Gladly we answer, Randolph-Macon, We join thy legions brave; and as We strive our age to serve In the fight of right and wrong, We'll cherish our love for thee. JoHN M. WILLs, Poet. Page twenty-four The Sabre Senior Henry H. Amos CALLANDS, VIRGINIA “Harry” 1921-22—Private Company “B,”’ Y. M. C. A. 1922-23—-Private Company ‘B,’’ Virginia Club, Ae, OAL Harry, quiet and unassuming, cast his lot with us after the mid-term of 1922. Due to his retiring manner few know his abilities and fewer still are those who count themselves among his intimates. But those few know what it is to have a real friend. Luck to him! May he succeed wherever he goes. Page twenty-five Class H. S. ALEXANDER STATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA “Monk” 1922-23—Out of Military, Football Squad, Bas- ketball Squad, Track Squad, Bedford Club, “Monk,” while living in Bedford with his grandfather this year, claims Statesville, N. C., for his home. But no matter from where he comes he is an honor to that place and a credit to us. If North Carolina had sent no one but “Monk” to us this year she would be justified in being a state. We are sure he will succeed in whatever he undertakes as thoroughly as he takes with him our good wishes, - a yo fs e z nev rk ae. eo Senior Class DonaLp S. ABERNETHY MOORSVILL E, NORTH CAROLINA “Pete” 1921-22—-Private Company ‘“B,” Basketball Squad, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Rev- eille Staff, 1922-23—Sergeant Company ‘A,’ Corporal Company ‘A,’ Football Squad, Cheer Leader, North Carolina Club, Treasurer Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. “Pete” arrived in Bedford last year from the Old North State, and he is sure proud of his native state. ‘Pete’ is one of the best cheer leaders that R. M. A. has ever had. When he and Harrison get out on the field the boys “raise the roof.” He is also very popular among the fair sex of Bedford and vicinity. We are sure he will do great things some day and our hopes for him are high. W. Howarp BRANCH RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA “Howard” 1922-238—Private Company ‘‘A,’’ Woodrow Wil- son Literary Society, North Carolina Club. Raleigh did herself proud when she sent Howard as one of her representatives. Though he got a late start, his earnestness and ability soon put him well up in his studies while his pleasant manner and temper soon endeared him to all, not excluding the fair sex of Bed- ford. Page twenty-six 4 The Sabre Oh EA A oe Senior Class WituiAM J. BARRow BLACKSTONE, VIRGINIA “Wheelbarrow” 1922-23—Private Company A Football Squad, Baseball Squad, Virginia Club, W. W. L. S. If Barrow were not so modest more of us would know his rare attainments. But as it it those who really know him value him more because of this fact. Every inch a gentleman and scholar. He takes with him our heartiest wishes. Page twenty-seven JOHN RussELvt BRINSER RICHMOND, VIRGINIA “John,” “Brig” 1921-22—Private Company ‘‘A,’’ Varsity Base- ball, Y. M. C. A., Treasurer Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. 1922-23—-Second Lieutenant on Staff, First Lieutenant on Staff, Captain Baseball, Business Manager Sabre, Vice-President Virginia Club, Treasurer Athletic Association, Vice-President Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Y. M. C. A., Ne. In “Brig,” gentle readers, we have a man of varied career and gifted with many talents. Too much cannot be said of him. Whatever he does, he does right and well. Although he has been with us only two years, he is one of the most popular men in school as you’ve already seen in reading his many achieve- ments. “Brig” is the man who made the Sabre a financial success. Generous, earnest, and a true gentleman, he is one of R. M. A.’s finest men. The Sabre wea Senior Class Puivie P. Burks BEDFORD, VIRGINIA Phil”? 1921-22—Out of Military, Basketball Squad. 1922-223—Out of Military, Varsity Basketball, Bedford Club, Sabre Staff. “Phil” tramps to our halls every morning from the great city of Bedford. Or, at least, that is what he claims, but for ourselyes we believe that he takes ten of his block-steps and is here. On the basketball court he never fails to see and intercept a long pass. “Phil” expects to be a lawyer and we are sure that soon he will stand at the head of the bar, as the guiding light by which all setting out upon the sea of law will set their course. James Epwin Bootu PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA “Skimmige,’ “Edwin” 1921-22—Private Company ‘A,’ Varsity Foot- ball, Varsity Basketball, Baseball Squad, Wood- row Wilson Literary Society. 1922-23—Second Lieutenant Company ‘A,” Captain Football, Varsity Basketball, Baseball Squad, Virginia Club, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Sabre Staff, V. C. In the fall of ’21 the above “Skimmige,” famous all-round high school athlete, came to us from the city of the “Goobers.” As an athlete, he has no superior; this, his record above will show. “Skimmige” has a striking military bearing, and he has, since being pro- moted to a lieutenancy, measured up to all the requirements in every particular. Nature having blessed him with affable manners, good looks has put him in demand in social circles. Page twenty-eight The Sabre Ee fod ee, Senior Class Hawes CAMPBELL, JR. ENFIELD, VIRGINIA “Haw! Haw!” 1922-23—Private Company “B,’’ Basketball Squad, Virginia Club, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. Haw! Haw! But it is not at Hawes, but with him. Many pleasant moments have we spent in his society listening with all our ears for his rare jokes. Luck to him! May he laugh his way to success as he has into our hearts. Page twenty-nine Firoyp Bryan Best RICHMOND, VIRGINIA “Parson” 1921-22—Out of Military, Washington Irving Literary Society, Y. M. C. A. 1922-23—Out of Military, Y. M. C. A. “Parson” Best came from our Capital City fired with zeal for books and study, as be- comes one of his calling. His problem with us was the getting of a diploma in two years without forfeiting the respect of a wife or his membership in the Ministerial Band. He has succeeded as is his custom, but he will tell you himself that it took lots of candy and early rising to do it. In passing, he found a place among our winning inter-society de- baters, and took away the Reed Junior Schol- arship Medal. Senior GerorGE A. CAREY HAVANA, CUBA 1920-21—-Private Company ‘‘B.” 1921-22—Out of Military, Y. M. C, A., Wash- ington Irving Literary Society. : 1922-23—Out of Military, Southern Club, We shall always have a warm place in our hearts for all Cubans due to impressions re- ceived from the Careys. No matter where we gather, George will always have a_ hearty welcome. He has been one of the few men to start and complete his preparatory work at Randolph-Macon. Georgia Tech will be the gainer by our loss. Class RosBertT R. Cary HAVANA, CUBA 1920-21—Private Company “‘B.”’ 1921-22—Out of Military, Washington Irving Literary Society. 1922-23—Out of Military, Southern Club. All that we have said of George applies to Robert. Many a pleasant hour have we whiled away listening to them play, or talk of that pleasant and sunny land from which they come. Speaking of pleasure, ours has been increased very much by Robert’s presence. Robert is a universal favorite with the ladies and is one of those whose good luck is envied by others. Page thirty The Sabre Senior Class JoHN DoucLas CLARK GOODE, VIRGINIA “Doug” 1921-22—Private Company ‘‘A,’’ Y. M. C. A., Ministerial Band. 1922-23—Private Company ‘“A,’’ Basketball Squad, Track Squad, Y. M. C, A., Ministerial Band and Bedford Club, “Doug” means to go to Africa as a medical missionary. He will make good, if he is not ensnared by the multitudinous charmers that lurk beside his path. He freely confesses that the girls all fall for him. Let his purpose be his safeguard. Fending off all the beauti- ful damsels of Goode will give him a fine preparation to withstand all the wiles of the devious ways that lie before him. Page thirty-one H. A. CLark NELSON, VIRGINIA “Souse” 1920-21—-Private Company ‘‘B.”’ 1921-22-—-Private Company ‘B.” 1922-23—Sergeant Company Sit) a OOLDaL Squad, Virginia Club. “Souse”’ is beloved by all and so far as we know, loves all. Though at times he would lead us to believe him to be kin to “Desperate Ambrosia,” but then we know “Souse,”’ and though he invents some awful words, we side- track them and take him as he is, big-hearted and kind. If everyone had a wish, it would undoubtedly be for his happy-go-lucky nature. Sabre Senior lee Harry B. CLay PARIS, KENTUCKY “Harry” 1922-23—Private Company ‘“B,” Southern Clinis Harry is a true Kentucky gentleman and as such is loved by all. Of an even disposi- tion, always willing to lend a helping hand, he soon became one of our most popular brother cadets. ‘Though he is very retiring, as may seem from his record, we are sure that he will climb the ladder of success to a great height. Witus C. CLEMENTS MARQUIN, VIRGINIA ee Cen CeTiiag 1921-22—Private Company “B,’’ Y. M. C. A., Washington Irving Literary Society. 1922-23—Corporal Company ‘“B,”’ Ju nior Foot- ball, Track Squad, Treasurer Sabre, Washington Irving Literary Society, Virginia Club, Y. M. C. ALN Ce The treasurer of our Annual has had some good training in the banking business for the last five months. He has made good at his task and has helped make all of us financially embarrassed. Clements is one of our hardest workers and can finish any task he undertakes. He says he hasn’t a girl, but we notice that he gets highly-scented letters about twice a week. We shall be sorry to see him leave in June, but hope for him a great career. Page thirty-two The Sabre Senior Class J. Horace Derickson, JR. OCEAN VIEW, DELAWARE “Dutch” 1922-23—Private Company ‘A,’ Basketball Squad, Track Squad, Northern Club, Y. M. C. A., Washington Irving Literary Society. “Dutch” hails from somewhere in Dela- ware and if you want to arouse his fighting spirit just tell him what a bum part of the country you think that is. Horace made his appearance among us at the first of this year and soon enjoyed the friendship of all. We do not know what college will be graced with his presence next year, but we are confident that, no matter where he goes, he will continue his successful career. Luck to him! Page thirty-three ALLEN B. DERICKSON OCEAN VIEW, DELAWARE “Derick? 1922-23—Private Company TAS Corporal Company ‘‘A,” Junior Football Squad, Baseball Squad, Northern Club, Y. M. C, A., Washington Irving Literary Society. It is not often that a school is lucky enough to have two brothers of such worth, but such is R. M. A.’s boast this year. Allen, in the short time that he has been here, has become pop- ular with everyone, both students and faculty. Science is his chief delight and we doubt not that he will be heard from in the near future as a leader in that profession. The Sabre Senior Class Ropert HoweELut EvAns RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA “Roberta” 1922-23—Private Company ‘“B,’’ North Caro- lina Club. In “Roberta” we have one of the “most handsome boys of Raleigh, N. C., handsome not only of face but also of nature. It is with real regret that we-see the day of parting draw near. Davip Ramsey Davis NEW BERN, NORTH CAROLINA “Dopte” 1921-22—Private Company “B,”’ Y. M. C. A., Washington Irving Literary Society. 1922-23—Private Company ‘‘B,’’ Corporal Com- pany “‘B,”’ Junior Football Team, Basketball Squad, North Carolina Club. “opie” hails from the “Old North State’’ and has such a pleasant disposition that even a Virginian cannot hold that against him. While “Dopie’ has not won his Monogram, he has shown himself a clean and able athlete. That success be ever his is our wish. Page thirty-four zs The Sabre Senior Class Harry DEVENNY MCDOWELL, WEST VIRGINIA “Harry” 1922-23—Private Company ‘“B,” Junior Foot- ball Squad, West Virginia Club. Harry is from the wilds of the West Vir- ginia mountains, and is a true son of them. It is said, that when he is with a woman, he acts as if her front porch was a cave and gets away with it. Of the truthfulness of this we cannot say, but to this we can and do testify: he is an all-round friend and good fellow. Page thirty-five NatH Lonc BURLINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA “Red” 1922-23—Private Company ‘A,’’ North Caro- lina Club, Y. M. C. A, “Red”? comes from the Tarheel State. This youthful scion of old North Carolina made his appearance among us for the first time last September. The fiery shade of his hair immediately procured a nickname for him. Nat, we are sorry to say, allows the “weaker sex” to engross all his mind, and many are the fair damsels who long for Long. In spite of this grievous fault everyone likes and respects Long. We hope he will return to old R. M. A. for additional work because we can’t get along without Long. Senior Curtis A. HADEN, JR. CROZET, VIRGINIA OS AIP” 1922-23—Private Company “B,”’ Varsity Ioot- ball, Varsity Basketball, Baseball Squad, Sabre Staff, Virginia Club, Y. M. C. A. Allen came to us picked fresh from the famous orchards of Albemarle. Evidently he grew up before the latest ideas in pruning went into practice. He came with an ambition to grow a peach as large as a grapefruit. He made the football team and now he wants to make that peach as large as a football. [here is nothing like education to develop ambition. Quiet and unassuming, Allen has won the esteem and friendship of us all. The Sabre Class JOHN WARREN GOODALL MADISON, VIRGINIA “Pap” 1921-22—Private Company eA Squad, Y. M.. C, A. 1922-23—First Sergeant Company ‘“B,” Ser- geant Major, Varsity Football, Virginia Club, Vins Baseball For two years this boy from Madison has been with us, but it was not until this year that he really stepped out. In fact some claim that last year he said that he was a ministerial student. We will not vouch for this, especially in view of his performance on the gridiron this year. He carries our best wishes with him. Page thirty-six The Sabre Senior FLoyp EUGENE HIGH RICHMOND, VIRGINIA “Little Lady” 1921-22—-Private Company ‘‘B,” Treasurer Y. M. C.

Floyd is a hustler, though you may not know it on slight acquaintance. He is not afraid of taking a big bite, for he can always manage to get the necessary chewing done. Witness his extra courses this year. He intends to go to Africa as a missionary. To his intimate friends he is known as “Little Lady” for his dainty little ways. However, his “feminine” nature does not keep him from thinking of the feminine true and eternal. He has been fre- quently heard to refer hungrily to a certain “lollypop” in Charlotte, N. C., and has been seen at intervals on Longwood Avenue. Page thirty-seven Class Lioyp M. Harrison EMPORIA, VIRGINIA “Leudant,”’ “Judge” ) g 1919-20—Private Company See Baseball Squad, Y. M.

He embodies all of those qualities that make up a true gentleman. He is faithful to his many friends and will do anything to help them. We will sure miss “Judge” when he leaves us in June, but one hope remains and that is to one day see the name of Harrison in Amer- ica’s Hall of Fame. Senior JoHN B. Harpy KENBRIDGE, VIRGINIA “J BY 1918-19—Private Company ‘‘C,.” 1922-23—-Corporal Company “A,” Virginia Club. Here’s a real Virginia hail-fellow-well-met with studious intent, but of humorous bent. His good-naturedness and wise cracks are known from corridor to corridor. He is liked by all because of his humor, his pleasantness, and his inborn tendency to do good for all. We heartily wish him a great future. The Sabre Class WILLIAM G.

In all other branches of our life he has stood out as conspicuously as he has upon the diamond. We feel sure that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. Page thirty-eight The Sabre Senior Class WILLIAM ALLISON HEADLEY SHARPS, VIRGINIA “Bill” 1922-23—Private Company ‘‘B,’’ Baseball Squad, Y. M. C. A.; W..1I. L. S., Virginia Club. “Bill” lives up to his name in that he is one of the headiest boys in school. It makes little difference to him whether it is a Math prob- lem or a Latin lesson, as he solves all equally well. There is no doubt that he will rise high over the common level of life. Page thirty-nine Russet, C. HAMMACK EMMERTON, VIRGINIA “Hamlet? 1922-28—Private and Corporal Company ‘‘A,’’ Baseball Squad, Washington Irving Literary So- ciety, Virginia Club. This splendid young fellow dropped in one fine September day to pay us a visit and, inci- denally, to get the “Ole Sheepskin.” Since then his unassuming and kindly ways have impressed us all, and all who have come in contact with him are somewhat the better for it. He has “toted” the gun with us and walked the “bull ring” with us and groaned like the rest of us when he heard the sweet suggestion of “Don’t let them get cold” issued ; but he has lost none of his cheeriness because of these experiences. For him we wish the best of luck during his college and business career. Sabre Senior Class JoseEpH WarREN KINNEY FORT VALLEY, GEORGIA OI aie? 1922-33—Private Company “A,” Southern Clubs You Mia CaeAG Joe is one of those who believes in going a long way for an education. His stories of the Georgia “coons” (both kinds) have helped us while away many dreary hours. Due to his knack of story-telling and pleasant dis- position, he is very popular. We hope him success wherever he goes. Karu LEE JUSTICE ERWIN, TENNESSEE 1921-22—Private Company “B,’’ Basketball Squad, Baseball Squad, Y. M. C.

A., Vice-President Woodrow Wilson Lit- erary Society, Southern Club, Karl Lee came to us in February of last year from Erwin, Tennessee, and has been a prize sojourner in our midst ever since. He engages in every form of athletics and is a loyal supporter of R. M. A. He is a welcome visitor among our lady friends in Bedford, but it is plain to see that he left his heart in ‘Tennessee. He has made good use of his time here and we are sure that great achievements are before him.

I. L. S., Northern Club, “Mac” hails from the city of Pittsburg, cele- brated for its smoky atmosphere and as the home of Andrew Carnegie. We have a say- ing that “If you want to know how the weather is outside, look down toward the tennis courts, and if you don’t see ‘Mac’ in his white ducks it is going to rain.” We are assured that success awaits him in life.

Charles comes from the capital of the “Old North State,’ and is noted among us for his cheerfulness as well as for his skill in basket- ball. For two years the bugler has faced the task of getting him up for reveille. “Madam” holds many positions of trust in our midst and is popular with all. He is one of the social leaders in Bedford society. We have great hopes for him on the highway of life. The Sabre Senior Class JoHn F, PAYNE LOCUST GROVE, VIRGINIA “A che” 1922-23—Private Company ‘‘A,” Virginia Club, Please do not judge “Ache” by his nick- name, for it was not given him as an indi- cator of his disposition, but rather to show the minute effect of a name. John is one of the best liked boys in school, and is at all times welcome anywhere, even though the box has just arrived. He carries our best wishes with him and we are sure that he will make good.

S. and Virginia Club. Raymond, alias the Rey. Dinty Moore, came spinning up in a high-powered flivver one fine afternoon, for his junior year, as pompous as the King of England on the way to his coro- nation. He is noted for his hasty trips “here and there.” South Avenue and Main Street have both ceased to stop and gaze as he goes flying by, as they haven’t time for common- places. Raymond is beloved by his fellow students and is a leader in all our activities. Here’s to his success in school, in the pulpit, and in the parlor. Page forty-two The Sabre GeorGE D. PoLLarp AYLETT, VIRGINIA “Jiggs” 1922-23—Private Company ‘‘B,”’ Virginia Club, W. W. L. S. Here we have one of the most noted men in the country. For who, though he be banker or ditch-digger, has not heard of “Jiggs.” Now that we have learned what it is to have “Jiggs” as a friend, we do not blame Dinty Moore for taking his life in his hands for his friend. Luck to him. May he always dodge trouble as successfully as he has Maggie while staying among us. Page forty-three Class Rosert S. Noor STATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA “Sharp” 1922-23—Private Company ‘‘A,’”’ N. C. Club. Here is one of those quiet, but hard-work- ing, students. Few realized that such a per- son was in school, but “Sharp” soon proved it to us. He made his appearance last Septem- ber, and since then has kept forging ahead. “Dependability” is his watchword. Every- body that has come in contact with him is proud to claim his as a friend. It is with real regret that we see him leave, but we wish him luck in his future undertakings. The Sabre Senior M. M. Price, Jr. IVANHOE, VIRGINIA “M. M.” 1921-22—Private Company ‘‘A.’ 1922-23—Sergeant and Private Company ‘A,”’ Junior Football Team, Baseball Squad, Virginia Club, “M. M.” is the only boy who comes from a town having a well known romance named after it. But even this fact has failed to give him the swell head. He was the star center of the junior football team and we expect to see him smash his way to success as he did upon the gridiron last Fall. Class WILLIE ATTICUS PARDUE, JR. TRENTON, SOUTH CAROLINA “Willie Atticus” 1922-23—Private Company “B,’’ Junior Foot- ball Squad, Southern Club, W. I. L. S. “Willie Atticus” came under our wing from the warmer Carolina, which fact he proudly shows by the warming color of his hair. Nevertheless, he has shown himself to be a scholar of the school and a fellow-student well worth knowing. This “lover-forlorn” is just as sure a hit with the girls as he is with the boys, but we cannot hold that against him. On the drill field he is entirely hidden by his rifle, therefore his military rating cannot be ascertained. Yet these little drawbacks are completely brushed away by his sunny dis- position, and with it he is sure to ride on top of the world. Page forty-four LEELA Senior Class CuHar_Les M.

We excuse it by saying he is the exception to prove the rule. We sincerely hope he will always be as carefree as he is here. The Sabre Senior Class CLAYTON BAILEY STEED ESMOND, VIRGINIA 1922-28—Private Company ‘A,’ Junior Foot- ball Squad, Track Squad, Virginia Club, These brothers are hard to beat, especially when they are together. Baily is the larger physically and is the older of the twain. Though unlike in appearance, William and Baily are of the same disposition. It is the latter’s ready smile and ever-pleasant greeting that makes him so welcome among us. But he never allows fun to interfere with his studies, and for that reason is a good student. With these qualities, we know that he will succeed, whatever his endeavor may be. WILLIAM FRANKLIN STEED ESMOND, VIRGINIA 1922-23—Private Company “B,’” Virginia Club. We often wonder if Sneed’s name is an in- dication of his fiery disposition? He says no. Because of his size, William has not been able to go in for athletics, but he has made up for it in other attainments. He ranks well in his studies and is a good friend to every one. This is Steed’s first year with us, but he has already become well liked. His presence is such a delight that he will be sorely missed next year. Page forty-six oN “apres Senior W. S. SHELOR, JR.

A, 1922-23—Second Lieutenant Company ‘“‘B,’’ Var- sity Football Team, Varsity Basketball, Y. M. C. A., President of Senior Class, President of N. C. Club, Sabre Staff. “Hank” is a very prominent member of our corps, as you may see from his record. But this record does not tell all. He has suc- ceeded where many have failed—that is, he has held the heart of one of Bedford’s fair sex, and held it true for a year. A gentieman, scholar, and athlete, all this is his—what more can he wish? Page forty-seven Class Rospert Epwarp TAyLor EDGEFIELD, SOUTH CAROLINA “Roberta” 1921-22—-Private Company “A,” W, I.

That explains why “Roberta” is so cheerful. ‘‘Ro- berta” is one of our best students. ‘Though he doesn’t talk about the fair sex very much, it is said that a certain girl in Bedford pines for him. Robert plans to go to the University of Virginia next year. We feel assured that he will do great work. The Sabre JuLian C.

Another of our, all too few, three-year men. Julian is happy and carefree ’most all the time. Truly of him may we say, “Eats when he can get it; sleeps ’most all the time’”—that is, during study hall. Julian has not the large crowd of hangers- on that more prominent men have, but those who really know him are proud to call him a friend; and they know that he is one who will stick through thick and thin.

For two years Victor has been one of our social leaders among the fair sex of Bedford, where his curly hair is much admired. He is willing to help any one at any time and is very popular among us. He is a hard and diligent worker in any task he undertakes. All of us wish him a great suc- cess in life. Page forty-eight The Sabre Senior Class Ben J. THORNTON REPUBLICAN GROVE, VIRGINIA 1922-23-—Private and Corporal Company ‘“‘A,”’ Football Team, Baseball Squad, Sabre Staff and Virginia Club. Here is a fellow who graduated from K. P. duties in the U. S. A. and came to us to be polished off. Realizing his worth the authorities appointed him to issue the “dress up this squad” order at the number four pivot. Always thoughtful, always agreeable, he is not easily forgotten, but pleasantly remem- bered. He is the rare combination of the splendid student and an athlete. The fact that he is a true gentleman is proved by his expert ability to “roll his own.” Ben, old dear, good luck is wished you by all. Page forty-nine D. PAYNE TERRY BEDFORD, VIRGINIA “Payne” 1921-22, Private Company -‘‘A’’; W. W. L. S. 1922-23, Out of Military; Varsity Football; Bedford Club. Payne came to us from somewhere down on the C. O. the fall of ’21. He early became popular with all and has remained so ever since. During the summer he must have con- cluded that one should go to school at home. Be that as it may, when we rolled in last fall we found his father running the “Palms.” All year he has aroused our envy by remarking that reveille, taps, and bounds did not worry him. Luck to him.

While you would never know it from his writing or from listening to him recite in class, at times John shows real brains. He swears he will never edit anything else but we doubt it. Luck to him; may he always succeed in his undertakings. The Sabre Class CuHar_LeEs B. WILLIS HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA 1921-22—-Private Company ‘“B,”’ Washington Irving Literary Society. 1922-23—Sergeant Company “‘B,’’ Junior Foot- ball Team, Washington Irving Literary Society, N. C. Club. Willis hails from High Point, the city famous for its furniture industry. He applies himself diligently to any task he has to per- form and has made good in both his studies and military during his stay here. Although he did not try to make any of our varsity teams, he was one of the best linesmen on our junior football team this year. He will be missed when he leaves us next June. Our best wishes follow him. Page fijty Senior Class W. P. WYNNE, JR. FORT WORTH, TEXAS “Jake” 1921-22—Private Company “B,’” Basketball Squad, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Y. M. GuAS 1922-23—First Sergeant Company “B,”’ Foot- ball Squad, Track Squad, President Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Treasurer: of Senior Class, Southern Club, Assistant Editor of Sabre, A sure-fire fellow who hails from the “Wooly West,’ and who distinguishes himself in spitting out a mean roll call at the first sergeant’s post. But “Jake” is just as well known for jolliness and even disposition, also for his noted collection of pipes. For many a moon his fair features and “Valentino” hair have caused the tumble of certain fair damsels, but sometimes he will fall and a_ lucky “femme” it will be that gets him. In class he is a wizard on technical terms, designating them all by “thing-a-ma-jigs” and “what-you- may-call-its.’ Never mind, Jake is sure to get there just the same, Page fifty-one GeEoRGE MELVIN WHITE RICHMOND, VIRGINIA “Mel” 1922-23—Private Company ‘“‘A,’’ Drum and Bugle Corps, Football Squad, Baseball Squad, Virginia Club. “Mel” is noted among us as our one and only drummer boy. The one and only fault we find with him is that he continues to beat his drum in such a manner that he cannot keep time to it himself. His virtues are so numer- ous that we shall not attempt to list them here. Let it suffice that we see him leave with deep regret. The Sabre Senior Class ROBERT CARLTON WOODLEY ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA “Bob” 1922-23, Private Company ‘“B’; Baseball Squad; Y. M..Cy A.

G. R. RICHARDSON Capt. T. T. Husarp Commandant Assistant Commandant Military Military training was installed as a part of our course during the turbulent days of the great World War, when war clouds circled the globe, and Uncle Sam needed strong, trained young men to carry Old Glory to the peak of victory on the fields of Flanders. Many of our boys saw service in France, while others have made good in military colleges and various other institutions. At the close of the great war, it was found that the training had been beneficial in many ways, so the authorities decided to continue it permanently. Our present Commandant, Major Gates R. Richardson, has done much to make our military department a success and his untiring efforts are appreciated by the entire corps. Major Richardson graduated from Randolph-Macon College in 1916. He served Uncle Sam for three years in the navy and rose to the rank of ensign. He takes Page sixty-seven The Sabre cae great interest in the work and seeks to instill that interest in the members of the corps. , We were indeed fortunate this year to secure as our Assistant Commandant, Captain Tazewell T. Hubard. Captain Hubard graduated from the Virginia Military Insti- tute in 1922. He thus brings us the knowledge gained from four years at the “West Point of the South.” Although he has not been with us long, Captain Hubard has done much to increase the efficiency of our corps. The training of the battalion covers, as far as possible, that of an army infantry school. The cadets are thoroughly drilled in the schools of the battalion and company. Physical culture is taught on an enlarged scale. As soon as the session begins, the com- missioned and non-commissioned officers are appointed and the battalion formed. We are fortunate in our officers this year in that we have one of the best set of officers that R. M. A. has had in many a year. They are, in a large measure, responsible for the success of the corps. Between the two companies that form the battalion, there is much difference of opinion as to the better-drilled company. Each company tries to out-drill the other. This spirit of rivalry reaches its highest pitch on the last day of school when the battalion is inspected by two U. S. army ofhtcers who decide which is the better-drilled company. ‘The school presents the winning company with a silver loving cup. After the company drills, the battalion is drilled in the manual of arms. ‘The best-drilled cadet in the corps is presented with a gold medal by the Commandant. The aim of Randolph-Macon is the same as that of every other American military school. This aim is not to create in young America a love for war, but it is to instill in him a sense of duty, a love for country, confidence in himself, and many other good qualities that go to make a God-fearing, red-blooded American who can, with a smile, look the world and its snares in the face and become a credit to his family, school, and community. It is to these ends that we labor and by the help of God we shall attain them. Page sixty-eight The Sabre F. H. Reap Captain and Adjutant Miss Louise B. ARTHUR, Sponsor BEDFORD, VA. H. F. Reap . J.

M. C. monogram. “Individ- ual’ Richardson came here in 1916 to take up the position of coach of football and basketball. After a few years absence during the recent war, he returned to R. M. A. in 1920. Since then he has been an outstanding figure in athletics, and has displayed marked ability as a success- ful coach. At present, “Individual” is head coach of football, basketball and baseball, and great confidence is felt in his ability to turn out creditable teams in the future. “RED GARNER Everybody who comes in contact with ‘Red’ Garner during the basketball season would count him as a real coach and a true friend. A star at R. M. C., he was not lacking in experience and knowledge of the game. As an assistant to Coach Richardson he was invaluable, and no little degree of credit is due him for the success of this year’s basketball team. A former R. M. A. man, his school spirit has never been found lacking, and he has been instrumental in developing athletics at his Alma Mater. It is expected that he will assist in coaching baseball. “SHORTY” HUBARD It has been mainly due to the interest of “Shorty” Hubard that we have track and swimming teams at R. M. A. this year. He has also busied himself, much to the benefit of the school, in organizing and developing scrub teams in football and basketball. “Shorty” has shown himself to be a successful and able coach in the four above-named sports. ‘To him we offer many thanks for introducing two new branches of athletics here and for the unfailing interest which he has shown in the “under dogs’’—the scrubs.

Review of the Season The initial football squad for the 1922 season, for the most part, consisted of men who had had very little experience. With only three monogram men back in harness, practically an entirely new team had to be whipped into shape. Many difficulties beset the coaches during the season, the most prevalent being continual injuries to the men on the squad. In a practice game with the heavy, experienced eleven from Roanoke College, almost every man suffered some injury, and this served to handicap the squad for the remainder of the season. “The Lemon and Black team hit its stride in the game with Danville Military Institute, but in some of the other games it seemed to lack the final punch necessary to turnin a win. With five monogram men returning next year, the prospects for a successful season are much brighter. The Junior Varsity eleven, under the tireless coaching of Captain Hubard, ran through its schedule in good fashion and upheld the name of R. M. A. very well for the first such team ever to have a regular schedule. After defeating the Bedford High School scrubs twice and triumphing over a picked Lynchburg Junior team, it met defeat at the hands of the Bedford High Varsity (county champions) by the close score of 13 to O—making the latter extend themselves to the limit to win.

BoorTH, Captain and [Halfback Weight, 145 pounds; height, 5 ft., 634 in. “Skimmage” was the fastest man on the team; but that is not t he only way in which he was prominent. He could round an end, drive through a line or get the loose runner equally well. In every game Booth could be depended upon for several long gains, while his excellent defensive playing stood out. An able captain and a true R. M. A. man, his loss will be keenly felt by next year’s squad. “HANK” SHELOR, Manager and End Weight, 145 pounds; height, 5 ft., 6 in. “Hank,” who was one of our best halves last year, was shifted from quarter to end early in the season. Playing this position the remainder of the year, he distinguished himself and, inci- dentally, showed us why he was “all Carolina” end in 1920. We have no doubt but that he will make good in college next year. “REVEREND” Moore, Guard Weight, 163 pounds; height, 5 ft., 8 in. “Reverend,” studying for the ministry, must have thought that his opponent was Old Nick himself—the only reason that we can give for a preacher fighting as he did. He was one of the best guards that R. M. A. has seen in many a day, and our only regret is that he is not return- ing next year. You have heard of the “Praying Colonels.” Well, we can boast the “Fighting Parson.” “CHARLIE” Pitt, Halfback Weight, 138 pounds; height, 5 ft. 714 in. Although very light, this boy proved to be one of our best ground gainers. He always went into the game with the fighting spirit that is necessary to win. Charlie was also very good on the de- fense, and his punting proved to be one of the great factors in keeping the enemy away from our goal. Page cighty-six The Sabre “LEE Justice, Fullback Weight, 150 pounds; height, 5 ft. 8% in. Even though he did not have a horse, Lee was quite a “traveler” himself, which was often shown when he was given the ball. He proved to be a plunging fullback who seldom failed to open a hole on the offense, and who was always there when it came to backing up the line. We hope to hear of great things from him next year in college. “PAYNE Terry, Jackle Weight, 157 pounds; height, 5 ft., 8 in. Hailing from the metropolis of Bedford, a cer- tain young “Terror” cast in his lot with the 1922 squad. Payne was a mainstay in the line, and there was never an instant when his opponent did not feel his presence. He proved to be a reliable, steady player throughout the season, and was a high stepper, being impartial to both the ground and his opponent’s face. “Horsey” SEAVER, Guard Weight, 205 pounds; height, 5 ft., 9 in. Though not a protege of Mellin’s food, this baby was a living example of a food profiteer. His opponents all agreed with the man who first said “Nobody loves a fat man,’ especially when he takes it upon himself to impress his weight upon others. “Horsey” was a bulwark in the first defense and, besides serving to hide his team’s plays, he played an all-around creditable game throughout the season. “CHops” CoLuizr, Center Weight, 162 pounds; height, 5 ft., 9 in. Fresh from the U. S. S. New York came “Chops” to stand watch amidships of the line. When he anchored himself in his position at center a storm was certain to occur, and _ it usually ended with his opponent sinking to the ground while “Chops” rode the waves in true man-o’-war style. When a hole was required, he opened up wider than the Delaware and allowed the whole fleet of R. M. A. backs to pass through. Page eighty-seven The Sabre “OQozy” Jones, Fullback Weight, 165 pounds; height, 5 ft., 8 in. - “Oozy”’ came to us from the ‘Tarheel State, where he made his letter in high school. He was unlucky in being crippled in the opening game, thus keeping him from displaying his best wares in the other contests. He returns to the Academy next year, and we all expect great things of him. “Epitor” WILLs, End Weight, 122 pounds; height, 5 ft. 7% in. Wills, playing end, had the distinction of being the lightest man on the team; but he made up for his lack of weight by his speed. On the defense he was an ever-ready menace, and R. M. A. found him a valuable asset in of-— fensive work. John was highly deserving of his place on the flank position, and showed his var- sity calibre at all times by his aggressiveness and steady playing. “Pap” GOoopaLL, Tackle Weight, 162 pounds; height, 5 ft., 8 in. The team could always count on “Pap” opening a hole whenever it was needed. Whenever one had to be stopped up to prevent the opponents from coming through, the boy from Madison was pushed in. Little distance was gained over or around him, and whenever the enemy ran a play against his position, they thought that they had struck a stone wall. “Doc” Rucker, Quarterback Weight, 135 pounds; height, 5 ft., 8 in. Coming to us from Bedford High School, Joe was proof that size is not all that matters in football, but that head work counts for some- thing. We were unusually lucky to have him available when Shelor was shifted to end. Joe has another year with us, and we look forward to seeing his pretty running and throwing of passes next season. Page eighty-eight The Sabre “Ben” THORNTON, Guard Weight, 154 pounds; height, 5 ft., 8 in. Not to be outdone by Collier, along came Thornton to show that they play football in the army, too. Using his experience in the U. S. cav- alry to good advantage, Ben employed all kinds of tactics to outwit his man. Although without a sabre, his charges were powerful and the scrim- mage line was for him a skirmish line on which he deployed and always fought a bitter battle with the enemy. Haven, Tackle Weight, 167 pounds; height, 6 ft., 1 in. Although not always starting the game, Haden nearly always finished it in good fashion. When- ever called upon to take his place in a tackle posi- tion, he responded with a will, and the result was a much strengthened line. Haden at no time stood out above his team-mates, but his hard, consistent playing made him invaluable to the Lemon and Black eleven. “The Scrubs” In reviewing the accomplishments and successes of a football team, few people stop to think what it is that has made these possible. Reasons commonly ascribed are good coaching, good material and good teamwork. How many of us mete out the praise justly and give due credit to the “under dogs’—the scrubs? Too much cannot be said of this bunch of fighters, who always presented stiff oppo- sition to the varsity without receiving the latter’s glory. With nothing but hard knocks to look forward to, they gave all that they had willingly and unselfishly. Without this aggregation, there would have been no varsity, and no other individual, or group of individuals, can boast of its importance in the development of the R. M. A. football team any more than can the scrubs. Page eighty-nine The Sabre Junior Varsity OFFICERS Te AUBARD Si oe RE ee ne Reo Rien ete eee Se ee ee RE es COLE?

M. A. quint was nosed out of the state prep school championship, it exhibited a brand of basketball that is hard to surpass. ‘Ten games out of fourteen of an exceptionally hard schedule were won. In the majority of the victories, R. M. A. led the score by a wide margin, regis- tering wins over some of the best teams in the state. The Lemon and Black team started the season in brilliant fashion with decisive victories over Appomattox High and Montvale A. C. A slight relapse was suffered in the Roanoke College and V. E. S. games, which ended in defeats for R. M. A. Then the Bedford quint struck its “stride” and rang up six straight victories, among which stood out those over Chatham, Lynchburg High, | Daleville College. The game with Lynchburg was one of the most interesting and well-played games ever seen on the R. M. A. floor, and the outcome was in doubt until the final whistle. The strong Fork Union team defeated the Lemon and Black five, but four days later the “big team” retaliated on Blacksburg High. On the final trip of the season the cadets broke even, losing to Chatham by one point and winning over D. M. I. by a large margin. The Chatham game was hard-fought and was replete with thrills; although on the small end of the score, the Bedford team outplayed its opponents. After a hard-fighting junior varsity football team had experienced a successful season, it was decided that there should be a regular scrub basketball team with a schedule all its own. ‘This aggregation had a creditable season, winning two of the series of three games with Bedford High, and defeating the Peerless A. C. by a large score. The final game with Bedford was a thriller, requiring an extra five-minute period to decide the winner. “Al? Haden was the hard-working captain of the scrubs, and Joe Rucker proved himself to be an earnest and efficient manager. Page ninety-two The Sabre SS L = ee C. F.

In every game Koonce was the one around whom the R. M. A. attack was built, and his excellent floor work and dependable shooting made him stand out as one of the best forwards in the state. “Race-HorseE” Pitt, Forward His legs being a little too wide apart for a guard, “Race-Horse”’ Charlie was shifted to for- ward this year. He made an excellent showing in his passing, shooting, and general floor work, while his caging of free throws in many cases proved invaluable to the team. In every game Charlie put up that brand of fight which brings victories, and his absence from the squad next year will be keenly felt. “PHIL BurRKS, Center Here we have the boy who started things roll- ing for the Lemon and Black quint. Phil’s great height enabled him to get the jump on his oppo- nent in most of the games, and many a victory was won by the p erfect working of signals from the center jump. “Phil” played a good floor game on the offensive, and was an ever-ready handicap to his opponent on the defense. “KRAPINSKY SHELOR, Guard “Hank” seemed to buck up against luck all season, in that he nearly always drew the best visiting forward as his opponent. But no mat- ter who his opponent was he played the same hard, consistent, level-headed game throughout the year. ‘“Krapinsky’ was in many ways the sensation of the season. He featured with extraor- dinary acts, and always brought the crowd to its feet with his many beautiful (?) shots. Page ninety-four The Sabre “Oxtp Lavy” BootH, Guard Small, well-built, extremely fast—Booth was all that guard should be. His ability to play the floor equally as well as the defense made him a valuable asset to the team. “Old Lady” de- veloped his shooting during the latter part of the season, and frequently caged a pretty shot. His accurate passing featured. He frequently thrilled the spectators by “throwing his feet be- tween his hands” to complete a difficult pass. “AL” HabEN, Center “Al” was always ready to go in and fight in case of emergency. A good offensive and de- fensive center, he caused his opponent no end of trouble. Besides being an able captain of the scrubs, Haden saw service in several varsity games, and in all of them he made creditable showing. He was a hard fighter from beginning to end. His consistent floor work and reliable shooting earned him his berth on the varsity squad. “Doc” Rucker, Guard It is very seldom that a substitute is found who can fill a forward or a guard position with equal ease and ability. Such a man was Joe. As a guard he presented an almost impenetrable de- fense, while his floor work was well above the average. His knack of keeping up with the ball and his accuracy in passing and shooting made “Doc” equally as valuable in a forward position, and he could always be depended on for his share of the attack. “MELAY” LEMAY, Forward Although handicapped by an attack of influ- enza during the season, “Melay” was a depend- able, aggressive player. He developed his shoot- ing throughout the season, and excelled in shots from difhcult angles. His small size somewhat hindered him, but he more than made up for this by his ability to continually rid himself of his opponent by his fast floor work. ‘“Melay” proved an invaluable man to the 1923 squad. Page ninety-five == Ze SS Ss y The Sabre Page ninety-six 4 (2 BOHARE Page ninety-seven nee STE The Sabre Prospects During the season of 1922, the R. M. A. nine annexed seven out of the eleven games played. The most gratifying victories were those registered over Randolph-Macon College and Chatham Training School. The team was greatly handicapped by lack of pitchers, but made several excel- lent showings. Smith, Robertson, and Lister showed up well and were valuable assets to the team. As acatcher Smith was a star and his batting was of high order; Robertson, at third base, played an all-round good game during the entire season; Lister’s pitching and fielding featured the ma- jority of the games. As the SABRE goes to press, the baseball season of 1923 starts with more than fair prospects. With two men of the 1922 team to form a nucleus and some highly promising material among the new men, Coach Richardson is confident of turning out a winning combination. Captain Brinser and Hundley are the only monogram men from last year’s team. Toth are outfielders and, judging by last season, they bid fair to make excellent records during the coming season. Among the vet- erans of last year’s squad who are candidates for the 1923 nine are: Booth, Pitt, Goodall, Spencer, and Justice—all infielders. The best new men seem to be Heveron, Rucker, and Purdum, infield- ers; Hammock, outfielder; Wright, H., and Woodley, catchers, and Jones, A., and Haden, pitchers. Numerous other likely candidates have reported for practice and preparations for the development of a creditable team are well under way. Manager Hundley has completed an excellent schedule which should furnish a wide variety of interesting games. ‘Lhe foremost school teams of the state are to be met, and several hard games will be played. We are confidently expecting the wearers of the Lemon and Black to have a successful season. Page ninety-eight The Sabre J. R. Brinser, Captain Miss HELEN STRAILMAIN, Sponsor RICHMOND, VA.

A., with only the results of last year’s Field Day by which to judge the old men, and with the abilities of the new men entirely unknown. Quite a problem confronts Coach Hubard; how- ever, with the same unlimited and tireless efforts which characterized him through- out the football, basketball, and swimming season, he should accomplish great things. The utmost confidence is felt that he will turn out a speedy aggregation which will reflect great credit on the Academy. In the dashes, Wills and Taylor, J., made a very creditable showing on the last Field Day, and give promise of being valuable men. ‘Taylor should become a good quarter-miler with the proper training. “The squad will probably be weak in the dis- tance runs, only Clark, J., having had experience. Clark should develop steadily dur- ing the season, and should show up well in the mile run. Lack of experience was only too apparent in the jumps last year. Clark, J., Taylor, J., Wills, and Read outjumped all opponents, but their performances were only fair. All should make good with the proper training and close competition is expected. In the field events only Jennette has performed creditably in discus throw and shot put, and is expected to make good in these events. In the javelin throw and shot put, Miller, A., should develop into a valuable man. It is expected that there will be found in the new men a wealth of material that can fill up all events as the number of old — men is limited.

A. It is a day set apart for various tests in athletic skill, and also serves as a holiday from the constant grind of classes. On this day, usually in the second week in May, people gather from far and near to witness the mimic repro- duction of the athletic games and tournaments of King Arthur’s time. ‘The day is given over to pleasure and is always long remembered. The athletic events of Field Day consist of the standard events of field athletics. There are short and long distance races, hurdle races, relay races, jumping contests, tug-o’-wars, and many other events to test the mettle of the R. M. A. cadet. The entire morning and the greater part of the afternoon are gi ven over to athletics; on the evening of this great day a reception is given by the principal, and the social side of the day begins to vie with the athletic side for supremacy. Music, refreshments and games are the order of the evening, and it all culminates gorgeously in the crowning of the queen of Field Day, who is elected by the winners of the athletic contests. This year, thanks to Captain Hubard, track is to be established here as a sport. With the development of a track team, Field Day will stand out all the more as a day of great athletic achievements. The boys will have been in training and with the valuable experience gained during the track season, they should make the 1923 Field Day the best yet.

Charlottesville Page one hundred three The Sabre ae Review of the Season Upon the initiative of the faculty, a new sport was ushered into existence at R. M. A. this winter. The plan to organize swimming and develop it eventually into a per- manent minor sport met with the instant and whole-hearted approval of the entire corps, and due to the excellent co-operation, the plan became a reality. With one of the best pools in the state at their disposal the aspirants for the team manifested great interest in the progress of the new sport, and the results were quite encouraging. Only two meets were held this year, both with Augusta Military Academy. R. M. A. lost both contests by a wide margin, but made a very creditable showing in both. With three years of experience and two unbroken victories, the A. M. A. team out- classed us. As the sport is developed and interest increases, a team should be developed which will place the Academy’s name high among those fostering this sport. Captain Graham was the most valuable man on the team and around him it was built. Other men who performed very creditably are Harding, Major, Miller, A., Tay- lor, J., and Moore, F. With only two men lost by graduation, next year’s squad should be unusually strong and a credit to the Academy. Much praise is due Coach Hubard for his tireless efforts in helping establish this sport. Swimming has made a commendable start among the sports of R. M. A., and there is every reason to believe that it will be a complete success. Page one hundred four The Sabre H. C. GrauaM, Captain Miss ANNA K. CLARK, Sponsor ASHEVILLE, N. C. OFFICERS T. T.

A., although it has never been adopted as a standard sport. There are several good courts available on the academy grounds, and each fall and spring finds a large number of the “wielders of the racquet” out to enjoy this national pastime. ‘Tournaments have been held each year and the school champion determined, but no outside competition has been entered into. This year the ever-growing interest of the tennis devotees has culminated in the formation of a tennis club, and there is every reason to believe that a team will be de- veloped and tennis put on the list of sport s at R.

Page one hundred twenty-three Sabre Page one hundred twenty-four The Sabre a el ie Page one hundred twenty-five The Sabre Championship Game Goes to Captains “Ducky” BootH PRovEs To BE HERO OF THE CONTEST N the last Saturday of the season two teams met in the gymnasium in one of the most unique basketball games of the season and the most interesting one ever witnessed in the historic old metrop olis of Bedford. This event had long been heralded and a tremendous crowd was present, from the mayor down to George Lee’s reindeer. ‘The faculty championship was at stake and both teams were in the pink of condition. When “Sump” led his Cosmopolitans out on the floor, there was a deafening applause which shook the entire gmynasium. ‘They presented a line-up which consisted of several all-Peaks of Otter stars. ‘Turkey’ was the tip-off man, while “Doc” Rucker and “Individual” Richardson were the fleet forwards. In the guard positions there were “Sump” and “Billy’—two of the best in the state. “Sump” made a short speech to the spectators, and after several grunts started the practice for his teammates. Quite a stir was created a few minutes later when the Captains came upon the floor. ‘They began playing leap frog and caused a great deal of astonishment. However, when it was found out that this was their customary manner of warming up before a contest, quiet was restored. Composing the Captain’s quint was a formidable array with “Sis” Martin at center, “Red” Garner and “Runt” Hubard at forward, and “Ducky” Booth and ‘‘Commander’” Simpson at guard. After short practices the referee’s whistle blew and the rival teams lined up on the floor. A few cautions by the referee and the game of games began. On the first toss up “Sis” hit “Turkey” in the eye, and “time out” had to be called. It took “Turkey” two minutes to compute what he should charge “Sis” for the damage done. After this brief respite, the game started with a rush. Close guarding and excellent floor work were’ very apparent, and during the first six minutes neither team scored; then ‘Sis’ became excited and threw the ball at “Turkey.” ‘The ball hit his head and ricochetted into the basket, giving the Cosmopolitans their first score. “Individual’’ com- pleted five straight tries from mid-floor and gave his teammates a commanding lead. The Cap- tains called a conference to discuss the League of Nations and the Bonus Amendment, and finally decided that more co-operation was needed on the working of the signals. On the very next play “Runt” fell on the ball and three of “Sump’s” followers had personal fouls called on them for piling on. “Runt” was finally resuscitated after two buckets of water had been used, and all three goals were shot. For the next few minutes the ball passed up and down the floor. Suddenly “Commander” got the ball under his goal, jumped on “Red’s” back and dropped the ball through the basket for the first field goal of the Three Buttons Quint. ‘The Cosmopolitans took another spurt and scored six goals through ‘‘Doc’s” medical prescriptions; numerous fouls were committed by the Captains. ‘The half ended—Cosmopolitans, 34; Captains, 7. In the second half there was a complete reversal of form on the Captains’ team. The change began by “Sis” batting the ball into the basket four times straight from the center ring. “Red” and “Runt” completely bewildered their guards and dropped the ball in from all angles. Before the half had lasted five minutes the Captains had cut their opponents’ lead down to three points. “Sump” took out time to rally his followers togeher. ‘Doc’ administered some ‘“44’s” to all of his teammates, and this seemed to stimulate hem to action. When the game was resumed, it appeared as though the Cosmopolitans were resorting to footbal! tactics. They charged, pushed, ran interference and played an all-around rough game. The climax came when “Individual” received the ball on a pass from “Billy” and tore down the field as though making a touchdown. He was stopped on the fifteen-foot line by “Commander,” who made a beautiful flying tackle. ‘The referee finally awakened and called fouls on both men, also giving them six hours on the “Q.” The Cosmopolitans showed a spurt and placed themselves in a 43 to 32 lead. Then “Red” got the ball and started dribbling down the floor. Just before he was able to shoot he came to “Sump,” the Cosmopolitan’s star stationary guard. It was a case of an irresistible force meeting an immovable object. The results were that the ball burst and both men were knocked out. Ten minutes were consumed in restoring the men to their senses and providing a new ball. During this period the R. M. A. cadet drum and bugle corps furnished the spectators with choice bits of music from Broadway’s latest hits, also “Taps” and “Reveille.” Finally the game was resumed. Both teams fought hard and neither was able to score. With barely one minute to play, “Ducky” Booth perceived what all the excitement was about and scored five field goaly for the Captains. The whistle blew as he was completing another shot, and the ball went neatly through the basket, giving the Captains the game by the score of 44 to 43. “Ducky” was very modest and did not wish to count his last goal; but the referee insisted, so the Three Buttons Quint was forced to take the championship.
