FN? N fri! E. ri. 1. .11 -p- -q W .M F' ,Q Q -I fl . U' F R1-Lit?-lt 51'9-2-8 Field Day IELD DAY, for many years past, has been looked forward to as the Big Day at Randolph-Macon Academy and, without doubt, it will hold the same place in the future. It is a day on which not only the talent of the Cadets is shown, but also the spirit of the companies is boosted. Furthermore, this is the day on which the champion of sports and the queen of sports are chosen. This, of course, is of interest to others as well as the students. Cadet Harry Ford, of Bristol, Tennessee, won the championship in the Field Day sports at Randolph-Macon. Academy, May 7th, l927. The sky was overcast in the early morning, offering prospects of rain, but served merely to protect the crowd and contestants from the sun and make the day an ideal one for athletic contests. Practically every cadet took part in one or more of the events on the program, and made the occasion one of lively interest. A large number of attractive prizes were offered the winners of each event and a gold medal was presented to the all-round champion. The day of sport was followed by a social evening of pleasure. The Annual Field Day Reception was held from eight to eleven. Captain R. H. Marks was master of ceremonies and, after reviewing in a most interesting way the athletic record of the year, he introduced Captain Tazewell T. Hubbard, a former member of the Academy faculty, who, in a very interesting way, made the address of the evening. Especial attention was called to the fact that the Academy Basket Ball Team won the Sportsmanship Trophy in the South Atlantic Tournament recently held at Washington and Lee University. The individual prizes and medals were then awarded, the company cup for the highest number of points was presented to A Company, and Cadet l-l. B. A. Ford was announced as the all-round champion and presented with a handsome gold medal. As Queen of Sports, Miss Louise Arthur was chosen by popular vote of those cadets taking part in the contests of the day, and was escorted to the rostrum. She selected Misses Gladys White and Mary Rebecca Wilson as her maids and then placed the wreath of victory on the brow of Cadet Ford, thus giving additional honor to the champion of the day. After a brief reception to the Queen and her Court, refreshments were served in the dining hall. These were tastefully prepared by Mrs. George l... Burton, and enjoyed by all. During this time Colonel William R. Phelps presented to the champion the I-lyslop Memorial Cup, awarded by Mr. W. Sturgis, of New York, and announced that Cadet Ledbetter, of North Carolina, was winner of the State Championship in Public Speaking in the contest just completed at the University of Virginia. The auditorium, corridors and dining hall were beautifully decorated in the school colors, lemon and black, 'under direction of Mrs. M. Day. 'The pleasure of the evening was enhanced by delightful music rendered by Coy Miller's Orchestra, of Lynchburg. When the hour of departure arrived the happy throng of young people dispersed with the unanimous feeling that Field Day was a great success, and would linger long in the memory of those who enjoyed it. lll6l - H , W 1. lil' am. - tw T -J l vl il ,. i 'fi -1- vi' i V I l Li..
