SticIi w ' as the conception of the founder of our school, and such the ideal of our beloved E. Sumpter Smith, now gone to the ivuvard of long years of faithful service — an honored memory. A gentleman. A’hat is it Who is this model youth that noble men would honor and woidd serve I ' A myth Yes, we may call him so; this side the age of Christ he has never been seen, l.ook the world over, and seek out those who seem to see life best and live it most loftily; every one will point you from himself to another beyond and above him — his far ideal. A limit to the vari- able, let us say; hut a limit that hovers near for vision and moves on, tixable, ])erha])S, in the inlinity of Heaven. Fnmhling with ideals! Reaching for the unap])roachal)le, as a swimmer for the stars! So be it; hut in the ever-distant goal is all of human ])rogress. We want a school community in which every hoy has caught his vision of the ideal man and makes it day by day his tirm resolve never to let it cloud — ever to mount to clearer view. Such a hoy will kee]) his body strong, his mind alert, that he may see more clearly and may climb more swiftly; he Avill recognize the deadly waste of falsity in all its foi ' ins ; he will know the commandments of (lod, not as laws he must not break, hut as themes to he developed in his life, that others, wdth lower lights, may read and understand. Knowing his owm vorth, he will take no chances with his self-esteem ; knowing the w ' orth of others, he will guard their rights al)Ove his own, ready to sacritice in all sa ' e sacred ])rincij)le. He will be loyal to his school: for it is himself enlarged; it is his chosen comrade multi})lied; it is the illustration of human henevolence in action for his salvation. He will radiate and reflect all human virtues, aud about him will he an atmoS])here so charged with waves of human kindness that evil thoughts and deeds will die of golden blight, and those so blind as not to see the vision will shrink and cower as they tlee to darkness. Ideal school! Ideal world ! The ’ ' ision ! The Yision ! ti] he SAB RE ’27 Knowledge I am a part of all that I have ))iet ; Yet all experience is an arch u ' hereth rou{j]i (fleams that untraveted u ' ortd. adiose margin fades Forever and forever adten I move. I low dull it is to pause, to mahe an end, Fo rust unhurnisiied, not to . ;]ii)ie in use! -Is though to breathe were tife! Life piled on life Vere all too little, and of one to me Little remains. J ut everg hour is saved From lhat eternal sdence, someth ing more, 1 hri)iger of neir things; and vile it were For some three suns to store and hoard )ngself. And this gray spirit yearn ing in desire To follow Imoadedge like a sinking slur. Beyond the utmost hound of human thought. Col.

Phelp.s and onr respected Faculty, the Senior ( ' lass of ’27 has endeavored to attain the level of the standard of our school — spiritual- ly, mentally and physicaily. In our experiences we have encountered many ditticnlties ; though in some we have failed, often we have succeeded. In many mort of them, no doubt, we woidd have failed had it not been for the ever-present aid of our Faeidty who enabled us to succeed more frequently and with more facility. To you. Future C’lasses, we look for the attainment of these ideals. As the time for our etforts here has passed, we trust that you wil succeed where we have faltered. w A, he SAB RE ’27 Equipment Fiiiiire it out for vourself, uiv lad, You ' ve all that the greatest of uieu have had, Ywo anus, two hands, two legs, two eyes, And a hraiu to use if you would he wise.

Our class was well represented in student activities, kloody and King again made letters in Football ; Graham, in Baseball; and Abramson, in Track. Xolaml was an Associate Editor of the SAPPE. With the heginning of the session oiir class was joined by a great number of new men. Although rats, they proved themselves a great help to the Class. Of the returning old men we elected the following men as our officers: Xolaiid, President; Parry, Vice-President; and Ilartig, L., Secretary and Treasurer. Ill the various activities — military, athletic, and social — our class was well ] e])resented. The ])Ositious of leadershij) in military held by meudiers of oiir Class were: Parry, Captain of Com})any B; Xolaml, Second Lieutenant, also of Com])any P ; and Charter, Second Lieutenant Assistant Quartermaster, ( uite a few of the duuior ( ' lass received non-commissions. During the Fk)otball seasons many of the -luniors were candidates for the Lu■sity. Of these, Wilson, J., and Phlegar received their monograms. Of the candidates who did not make their letters several are deserving of special mention. They are: Abramson, Kidwell, and Rice. These men rvith the ex- perience derived from the past session will undoubtedly be heard from in the future. Among the athletes of our class, . bramson was highly honored by being elected ( ' a])taiu of the Track team. Puder his able leadership we will look forward to a successful season on the cinder ])ath. In the klonogram ( ' lub, the literary societies, and other activities Juniors held ])romiuent places.

As you already know we ' ve only heen together two years — anyway, as long as you wish it. I’ll try my best to relate to you the history of the Class of ’29. When the first roll was read, it had the names of Andrews, Deal, Denanlt, Ewell, Ford, (i., Horner, Kolipinski, IMcGhee, Moffet, i Ioody, Phipps, Rodgers, Walker, Wood. Tlu ' oificers were: Moody, President; Walker, Vice-Presi- dent; Kolipinski, Secretary; and liodgers, Treasurer. The opening of Football season saw one of us — Alvin iVIoody — playing for the Varsity. He received his letter. In Basket hall, no Freshmen played on the Regulars, hut several made the squad. After (diristmas we were joined hy Warren and Priester. dnst as the cool, heautifnl Spring days began. Track started and Horner succeeded in getting a berth. During this time the dances were at their height. Many of the Freslnnen received bids. The clnhs and literary societies were also going good, and on the ])rogranis of the latter. Freshmen’s iianies appeared often. No member of our class made the Baseball team, and thus ended the first year, one which the Cdass of ’29 hel})ed to make a huge success. The first thoughts that crossed our minds when we again set foot on the beloved old (’ampus were: I’m a So])homore — Where are those Freshmen? That was half the fnn of onr second year — to give orders to the Freshies. However, as I gness you already know that. I’ll continue with the ac- complishments of the Class. When the roll was called for the Sophomore Class,, we found we had been joined by twenty new hoys: Arwood, Duncan, J., Echols, Elder, Elliott, Em- mons, Graham, W., Lowther, Velson, Smith, Sohral, Stanley, W., Talmage, ' bhrift, Vick, (r.. Ware, Watkins, Whipple, and Williams. Kenneth Graves enrolled with ns after the Christmas Vacation. The beginning of Track practice saw many of ns out, hut, as the team has not yet been picked, the fact that I’ve reached to the present day will end my story.

In tnrn, each companv is divided into two platoons. Fnder the command of tlie varions officers of the compaiues and the battalion, the corps is given instruction similar to that given the ITnited States Army. Drill is held five days a week and the battalion is reviewed and a general inspectio]! is held on Saturday afternoon. And every morning, save Sunday, the corps has fifteen minutes of calisthenics, jocularly known as “monkey-drill.” At the beginning of school, rivalry between the companies is greaf. Ihit, during the winter months, company spirit lags because of the irregularity of drill due to the severity of the weather. However, rvhen sjndng makes its advent rivalry is again rife. On th(‘ last day of school a competitive drill is held under the siipervision of United States Army officers. After the battalion is reviewed by the officers, the rating coni])any receives sealed orders and the other company marches out of view from the drill field, . fter the commands are executed the other com- pany receives its commands and also carries them out in the absence of the other company. Following this the corps enters a personal competitive drill in order to determine the best drilled cadet of the year. The officials reserve their judgment until the commencement exercise s of that evening. [ 74 ] V.i Iv ’N •)r. ' V ?;■ f y,i ■ ' •V; ' . 0 . I • A ' Jr ■A ■( .

FRED TAYI.OR End : 11LT0X ABRAMSOX Half-Hack “Abie,” altliougli playing bis first year, proved bis aljiliiy to carry tlie ball. Wlienever a wide end run was called, ‘‘Aide” was given tbe ball, because of bis speed. Even tliongb be is short be proved a good defense man and was nsnally tbe first man down under punts. HARRY FORD Center Harry came to us as tbe Bristol “Wonder, and certainly proved worthy of tbi?, name. Har- ry ' s passing was exact and for an opposing team to try tlirough center was suicide. His gradua- tion this year will cause us to miss a good man on next year ' s team. WIXFRED PHLEGAR Tackle Pblegar was unable to play during last sea- s.in on account of an injury to bis band, but this season proved that be could bold bis man on any prep-sebool line. We are looking to having Winfred back next year. CHARLIE PITT End Charlie came back after an absence of three years and proved that Father Time bad over- looked him. He is still a great player and bis skill on tbe gridiron spelled defeat to many teams. Charlie will be lost to us after this year, but tbe memory of bis playing will al- ways remain.

He was sure to give a good account of himself no matter what sort of op])osition he was uj) against. He could snag passes from any angle and (dl proved his aliility. ROSCOE EORFAIAX (luard Although entering school late, Roscoe proved liis aliility hy making a regular herth on the eleven. He was deiiendahle to ojien a hole in the oiiponenls ' line. As a scrajijier he was in the middle of every iilay. Few plays ever ran through Roscoe more than once: then the at- tack was shifted. BUCK” NAXCE (luard Buck. playing his first year of prep-school foothall, showed up well in the lirst few games. Then he received an injury that kept him out for a time. He came hack in our lineup for the last two games and |iroved a tower of strength as a linesman. BIRDIE” VICK Wilson was llie strong man of tlie team.

W’e are exitecting great things of him next year. “BULL” WILSON Tackle Football E team that ve]� i-esentcd A. this year was far superior to those of several ])ast years. When going- on the field it was often remarked that tlie team looked more like a college eleven than a “pi ' ep” school. The line vas composed of lug, heavy, and fast fellows averaging ISo, while thong ' ll the hacktiehl only a-v ' eragial l.i.i, it was considered one of the fastest in Virginia. Five letter men with several second-string men of last year reported, alomt with the great “rat” material, to (Aiach Marks’ first call. The coach immediately hegan whipjiiug his team into shape for onr first encounter, which was with (difton Forge. The visitors presented a light fast team with a peculiar shift which fooled onr hoys, conseipu ' ntly causing ns many off-side ])emdties. d’he teams battled evenly for th( first (piarter, after which the enemy’s line weakened before the terrific battering of the Methodists hacks. I lu Cladets drew first blood in the second (|narter, after which they kcjit up their attack and succeeded in charging up two more markers before the iinal whistle Idew. The following week the eleven Avas jmt through hard drills in ])re])aration for the Lvnchhnrg gridders, whom we had not defeated in the past four years. VA [ 82 ] The day of the game was a drizzly, rainy one. This was to onr advantage; for Lynchhnrg had a light Imt fast team. The contest was very evenly matched, neither team scoring in the tirst half. One of the prettiest }� nnting duels ever seen on that field was going on between i leyer of the C ' adets and Titfany of Lynchhnrg. The third (piarter brought forth no scoring. But finally Captain Sears in the last minute of play scampere l around end for 20 yards, and the much needed (J points. Meyer kicked the goal. On the next Saturday the Lemon and Black joiirneyed to Boanoke to play the “Hi” school. They put probably one of the best teams on the field which we played during the season. By smashing off tackle plays they succeeded in scoring twice before the final gun. The Cadets next invaded B. M. A.’s camp. By off-tackle smashes we car- ried the ball far enough into their territory to enable Meyer to j)lace a dr(.)p kick over the crossbars. After taking the hall away from them, we opened an aerial attack which com})letely dazzled them. From a ])unt formation Capt. Sears threw a pretty MO-vard pass to Rosky, who carrical it over the line. B. ] I. A. kicked a field goal, which ended their scoring. Returning from Blackstone a crippled and over-confident team Ave played the High School lads from Salem. The big team usually having the necessary [ 83 ] punch seemed to lack it this. time. Tii the l)egimiiug’ of the third quarter Capt. Sears received au iujurv which forced him fi ' om the game, placing our team to a disadvantage. l y a pass the “Hi” School hoys made a touchdown. In the hist ipiarter one of their lialh-hacks interi-epted a pass and hy a neat run made another marker, ddiey held ns throughont the remainder of the game. llnrt and angry from tludr last defeat tlie eleven went on the held deter- mined to make amends hy heating F. U. M. A., whom w ' had not scored on since lhl(� . The game was the best ever seen on that hidd. Jloth teams showed wonderful defense strength.

A. took the kick-oh and hy rushes carried the hall to our 1-yard line on which the Lemon and Lllack held them for fonr downs. On the hrst play we lost the ball on a fnnd.)le. After holding the visitors for three more downs they finally scored on the last down hy a jiass. After some disjmte the referee called the goal good. This ended the scoring for both teams. II. M. A. invaded our camp Avith a heavy and mnch older team. Keeping the standard set in the last game the team started off hy taking the hall away from the visitors. The first ijnarter hronght no score. In the second quarter hy 6‘xcellent line ])lays the Methodists scored. 1 he o])posing team Avas outplaAcd [ 84 ] ill evei ' v (lejiartiiieiit of the game. In the last (|iiartei ' Ih-M.

Tluw hronght the best team they have had in years. The first of the game looked like disaster for the home team, hnt taking a lirace they hehl the invaders and took the hall away from them. I). M. L, not to he ih ' iiied, threatened again, this time making a counter. Coming hack strong, the K.-M. A. cadets pnt the hall over tlu‘ last white line. This emh ' d the well-])layed game. The biggest upset of the year was the defeat handed us by E. 8. I)o])e gave us the advantage over them. On the first play V. E. S. made a -td- yard gain. This disheartened the hoys and soon after the Lynchhurgers put the hall over our line. rTTTCHXX Basket-ball Team he SAB RE ’27 Capt. Ford Basket-ball ASIvET-BALL season had its formal o])eiiiiig’ on December second, when Coach Clarks called for recruits and about thirty I ' eported for practice. From this squad was developed one of the best prep-seliool (juints ill the State. Our first game was with A ' inton High. AVe won this game easily, Coach Alarks using several substitutes. The second game of the season was with Roanoke DeMolay. They pre- sented a fast team, but they were no match for us and we again emerged victorious. Our home court was then invaded by the ([uintet from Daleville College. This game was won easily, CArach Harks again using second-string men before the end of the game. The Botetourt Athletic Cdub next visited us witli no better luck than the previous teams, ( ' apt. Ford was the outstanding star of this game, scoring a total of seventeen points. Aext was one of the most important games of the season, with our old rivals, Lynchburg High. They presented one of the best-drilled teams that we had met so far. The game was fast and hard-fought by both teams, but as usual the best team won, the score being 2-1: to 19 in our favor. The guarding of Burks did much to make the final score what it was, while Kirby rang np three field goals and three fouls. AA e then took a trip to Daleville and there we defeated Daleville College in a loosely played game. H ill At tins time we eiiconntered our first iiiistortuiie : ' ‘Freddie ' ’ Tavlor, A eteraii fdiwai ' d and twice ( ' a})tain, left us to enter ( ’oluudjia Fuiversity. 1 llackshur;; ' was no uiatcli for us and we won easily. I ' lieu came a tlircc-day trip u]) the alley (if irgiiiia. Our first game was Avitli Fisldnirue and here we eucouutered ' iur first defeat of the season. This game was very slow, neither team playing the Fraud of hall which they were capable of. The following night we met the strong Angnsta tcaim. Although we were leading at th(‘ end of the third (piarter, in the last five minutes of phpv they hegan shooting from all angles, as a result of which Ave Avere defeated. Th(‘ next night proved to he a re])etition of the tAvo ])receding. We Avere defeated hy the Staunton ([uint in a sIoav game, fc ' atnred hy the gnarding of hoth teams. The isc•ose Social C ' lnh from Roanoke prcscntcal a fast experienced team Avhich proved too much for the (Aidets and de- fciited tluun hy a small ]uargin. llai ' graA’e Military .Veademy defeated the Randol])hAIacon Fa ' C in a rough and loosely played game. Pitt, flashy fovAvard for Randoljih-.Macon, shot baskets from all angles: hut Avhen the final AAdristle hleAV, llargraA ' e Avas one point in the lead. The folloAving night the Lemon and iJlack cagers met and defeated the strong- five from Danville Afilitary Institute ' . This was one of the best games of the season for R.-W. A., every man playing exceptionally well. I I 1 J National Business College was defeated l)j the Cadets in a slow, one-sided game, the (hidets lioldine, ' the ball from the lirst whistle. B.-hl. A. then lost to the V. P. 1. Fresh- men in a slow game. The Academy seemed lost on the large door and ajiparent- ly found themselves too late. AA’ e then met our old rivals, tlie A irginia E])isco|)al School at Lynchburg. This was a very fast and exciting game, first one team and then the other, leading. How- ever, as usual tlie best team was bound to win and the final Avhistle found the score oS to in faAO)! ' of the Chulets. Doaviis, Avho had joined us at mid-term made his debut in this game by registering eight field goals and tossing six from the free throw line. ITie Afethodists next journeyed to Fork Fnion Alilitary Academy and were de- feated in one of the fastest and most thrill- ing games ever seen on that floor. The doorwork of Ca])t. Ford and Doaviis and the giiardhig of Ilowen deseinx ' special rec- ognition and commendation. In the dual game of the season Iwncln burg High defeated the Cadets in a rough gauK ' , both teams fouling incessantly. Ford, Pitt, Burks, BoAAmi, A ick, Rosser, Butte, and Pence have played their last basket-ball game for R.-AI. A. and their loss will be keenly felt next year.

This team was claimed by vario is sporting editors and many news- papers of Virginia to be tbe “Prep” school champions of the State.
