'N 'VK i' .1 -it Q PASSING REVIEW Fifty-third session of Randolph- Macon Academy! Football squad reported early for pre-season practice. Y committee arrived to help new cadets become more quickly orientated into the Randolph-Macon Spirit. The first issue of the Handbook was pre- sented to the corps as new boys and old cad-ets arrived. Bugle calls sounded and learned. Cadets found themselves working and playing under an established routine. Books were issued, but the excite- ment of the first days of classes was soon a thing of the past and cadets really buckled down to a year of good hard work. Companies were formed and tempo- rary ofhcers and non-coms, soon had new and old cadets drilling together as orderly units. Drill was accom- panied by the sound of the newly organized band playing stirring marches. The fall athletic program was begun. Varsity, V., Midget and Mite teams covered the upper and lower athletic fields, Thirteen cadets passed exams for the Army Air Corps with flying colors. Col. Petty announced that the United States War Department was establishing a 55-C Unit here. General Order No. l placed new officers on as O. D. The newly obtained stripes were barely sewn on when pictures were taken for THE RANDOMAC. Cadets became lovely ladies and all types of characters for the annual Hallowe'en party in the Mess Hall. The Wilson family walked away with all the prizes. Football season ended with the upset of Virginia Episcopal by our own Lemon and Black eleven. Senior Dinner-Dance enjoyed by every senior and each date! Back to classes after a restful Thanksgiving, at which time we all ate too much, from soup to nuts. First annual cross country race! All-Cadet Variety Show, written, produced and directed by members of our own corps. Swimming and basketball seasons began with eleven letter men returning. Greatly awaited first dance of the year. Quite an affair! Given by the HY. Cadets and their ladies danced in a forest of real evergreens as The Yellow Jacket Orchestra made its first appearance of the year. Annual Christmas Party, given for the underprivileged children of the town, in the gym so Santa Claus could have lots of room. Buses appeared and the cadets were off for the Christmas Vacation! The Sabre staff brought forth their fourth issue as a present to the corps. Back to the Hill with stories of holiday fun and new loves. Basketball team journeyed to Annapolis to take on the Plebes. Four cadets lost to our Uncle Sam. Exam schedule was posted and intensive work for review week became a reality. The half way mark was reached and we lost our second set of February graduates, Allen and Applegate. Second semester saw us all settled with renewed efforts. Rifle teams were formed and scheduled matches were announced by the new Assistant P. M. S. and T. Our first sizeable snow was greeted with coasters, skiers and the snow battlers. Many enjoyable afternoons were taken up with basketball games and swimming meets. As usual we took our share of the victories. The junior Class celebrated Wasl1ington's birthday by entertaining the faculty and corps at a dance in a beautiful and unusually decorated gym. Cadets enjoyed another big treat when some of the more talented put on a minstrel which was a credit to the Deep South. Appearance of baseball gloves and track equipment brought out the spring sports. Spring came warm and early to Virginia and cadets were glad of the first Spring Vacation in several years. Back to classes but it was hard to throw off spring fever and really prepare ourselves for the nearing final exams. Tennis courts were readied and tennis, track and baseball vied for interest and enthusiasm. Friendly rivalry with other schools claimed our interest. Busy days in classes and on the drill held in preparation for June Week. L Annual Field Day saw companies and individuals running and jumping for new ribbons, and championships. The Y gave a real picnic at Deckey Ridge, transportation furnished one way. Whites issued, altered and starched. Companies worked harder than ever for the first Sunday Dress Parade and the coming competitive drill. Final review week and exams preceded the colorful Commencement when parents and friends came to witness the yearis achievements. Competitive Drill! Company B took it for the seventh straight year. Baccalaureate Sunday! Senior Luncheon! Final Dress Parade and Band Concert! Graduation! Seniors and under graduates gathered around the flag pole! The final lowering of the flag, bringing the great days of 44-45 to an end!

Of these returning lettermen, five represented our line of '43 championship team and five of the backfield. These were: Sam Wilson, Tony Cherico, Robley Smith, johnny Boggs, Glenn Overton, jimmy Austin, Chuck King, Bill Naylor, Loring Jones, and Jack Cofall. For the next few weeks our Big Team, under the able guidance of Captain Leslie Fouls, head coach, and his two assistants, Captains Glen P. Davis and Wilfred Jones, prepared for the opening rout of the season against Fishburne at Waynesboro, Virginia. Here's the season at a glance: our victories, our de- feats: but always a team with high-fighting spirit and excellent sportsmanship to represent R.-M. A. in the record of Academy football. FISHBURNE, 0: R.-M. A., 39 A sluggish first half marked the opening on enemy grounds, but our team came back with power and drive to smother the F. M. A. eleven to defeat. npunchyn Cofall led the attack by putting our Jackets on the top of a 6-0 margin, before half time. On our return to play in the third and fourth periods, the teamwork plus the determination sent the score on an upward tilt. A 55 yard pass interseption by Paul Shrader, a newcomer to the Academy, marked the first tally after the half. Soon afterwards, Chuck King threw a beautiful 50- yard pass to Glenn Overton who jaunted over the zero stripe for another Jacket score. Once again we scored as Bill Naylor, Jacket halfback, swept, got a 30-yard run. Dick Swenson, later in the third period, galloped around the end for another tally. In the fourth period, Naylor pulled a sensational 85- yard run through the entire Fishburne team for his score of the day. A perfect kick by Loring jones, passes from Swenson to Cofall, and from King to Overton, piled up the score of extra points. AUGUSTA MILITARY ACADEMY, 0 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 0 Playing on a mud-covered lower athletic gridiron, the Jackets battled Augusta to a 0-0 deadlock. Neither team threatened seriously during the contest. The game stayed between the 25-yard markers most of the time, save in the first period when Jones tossed a pass to Cofall who jaunted 55 yards for a Jacket tally. This score was called back because of an illegal forward pass. A stubborn defense stopped Augusta's power time and time again. This defense was led by the hard tackling of Sam Wilson, Cherico, Melton and Williamson. WOODBERRY FOREST, 6 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 0 With added rivalry due to a 36-0 defeat handed the Jackets the previous season, our jackets fought hard and nobly, if in vain, in order to retaliate that Woodberry defeat. Although we suffered our first defeat of the '44 season to the tune of 6-0, the Cadets held the Wood- berry Forest eleven to a deadlock half. EPISCOPAL HIGH SCHOOL, 6 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 0 This game was played on the home gridiron and brought plenty of tough breaks to hand in the first period. Three touchdowns: one from King to Overton, by way of the airg one from Austin, again by aerial attack, and a 55-yard punt returned by quarterback jones, were all registered as invalid because of offensive mishaps. Although we stood on the short end of the 6-0 score, it was felt that the entire jacket team played real football. Crood defensives, played on the part of Boggs, King, Odell and Smith, R., kept the E. H. S. forward wall at a standstill. VIRGINIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND BLIND, I9 RANDOLPH-IVIACON ACADEMY, 25 Once again a real jacket eleven turned on the heat to win out over the boys of the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind. Excitement marked the entire contest. Each team battled for its points, nip and tuck. Touchdowns were scored by Paul Shrader on the favorite varsity Spread-I. King scored on a pass and Ernie Wright also tallied. In the last 27 seconds of the game, with the score- board reading a I9- I9 deadlock, Chuck King flipped a 25-yard spiral pass into the arms of Eddie Wunder, sure fingered varsity end. Some real field blocking on the part of Artie Morris and Jack Cofall led the way in many of our long plays. VIRGINIA EPISCOPAL SCHOOL, 0 RANDOLPH-IVIACON ACADEMY, I3 For the final tilt of the season our Cadets journeyed to Lynchburg to tangle with the undefeated Bishops of Virginia Episcopal School. Although the Corps as a whole did not see the contest, eye witness reports say that it was the best and most exciting game of the season. Our Jackets were really at their best in fighting spirit and in team- work. Our first tally came in the first period when Shrader flipped a beautiful bullet pass into the arms of Eddie Wunder. In the next period our rolling Jacket offense clicked one more as King took the pigskin over the zero stripe from our own 45-yard line. A perfect spot-pass for Loring Jones to end, Jimmy Austin pushed the score up another notch as we smothered the team that had previously been undefeated, I3-0. H J Nxx'1.ok Nlks. li:-:mimi-2 IJ.

Under the new supervision and coaching of Captain Glen P. Davis, a squad of fifteen members set out to undertake one of the most complete basketball schedules the Academy has had in recent years. Although things were up and down all through the season, it is felt that the spirit of the team, and the corps behind them, never failed to show the brightest light at every game. BERKLEY SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL, 26, RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 52 At the opening game of the season played on our home court, the jacket cagers handed the challengers a decided defeat. With Bill Naylor taking scoring honors with I4 points, plus l0, I0 and 7 from Bob johnson, varsity newcomer, Dick Sommerfeld and jimmy Austin, varsity letter men of last year, the season started off with our cadets on the top half of the score. THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY PLEBES, 553 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, I8 On the return from Christmas leave came a hasty two day practice, and then our team made the first overnight trip in Hilltop history to The United States Naval Academy for a game against the Plebes. Although size and experience proved to be a main obstacle, our Jackets went down gamely against these odds. The trip was thoroughly enjoyed by each member of the team. Johnson, Naylor and Allen took Jacket point honors with 7. 4, and 3 respectively. HANDLEY HIGH SCHOOL, 34, RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 5I With the third game of the season at hand, the team was ready to avenge the defeat handed out by the Plebes. Good team work and a high spirit on the part of the Corps, as well as the team, put our lacket five into firing position. With Allen, Johnson and Sommerfeld hitting the net at a steady pace, the score mounted rapidly. FISHBUFNE MILITARY SCHOOL, 3lg RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 28 This game played away from home brought about an upset defeat for the jackets. Tough breaks dogged our boys from beginning to end. A scrappy team from Fishburne turned the tables on us in the closing minutes of the game. Eddie Allen and Bill Naylor played scor- ing ball throughout the game. GREENBRIER MILITARY SCHOOL, 56, RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 26 At this court session our team took a decided beating from one of the best teams soithern military schools have ever sent against the Jackets. Even if defeated, it was a pleasure to encounter a team whizh excelled in every phase of the game. WOODBERRY FOREST, 465 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 34 This game, once again on our own court, ended in our third straight defeat. The Jinx was with us. A powerful Woodberry scoring rally gave the visitors a decided edge after a third quarter 2l-21 deadlock. Bill Naylor played outstanding ball. Honors of the day were his with II points. AUGUSTA MILITARY ACADEMY, 38, RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 42 With Augusta bidding to hold its State Championship, a determined group of Jackets put down the visitors for their first and only defeat of the season. Eddie Allen, strong first string center for the jackets was playing his last game before leaving to join the United States Air Corps. Never had the spirit been as great so that Eddie could go off with a victory. It was nip and tuck, fight, fight all the way, but the jackets let Eddie leave knowing that they had licked the State Champions. , STAUNTON MILITARY ACADEMY, 38, RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 29 This game proved to be the real heart breaker to the team and to the Cadets. Wlith good defense and a basket making offense, our boys trailed the Staunton Cadets by only a slight margin. A third period rally finally gave us a three point lead on our opponents, but a good offensive comeback in the final stage of the fourth period gave them the final winning margin. MASSANUTTEN MILITARY ACADEMY, 455 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 39 MASSANUTTEN MILITARY ACADEMY, 31, RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 25 The next two games came in the way of defeats through sheer good ball playing on the part of M. M. A., here as well as there. Al- though the second game of this series proved to be a close one, we still failed to cash in on our errors. Good playing on the part of Rennie Cory and Dick Sommerfeld gave Massanutten many a defensive headache. FISHBURNE MILITARY SCHOOL, 27, RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 48 After being nosed out of a victory on Fishburne's court a few weeks previous to orr home game with them, our Jackets were determined to repay them in full. With a changed Jacket line-up, consisting of Odell at center, Cory and Naylor on the guards and Hessler and Som- merfeld at forwards, we quickly got off to a I7-5 lead in the first period. With a good scoring streak behind a well balanced defense. R.-M. A. whipped the Fishburne aggregation. WOODBERRY FOREST, 54 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 34 On our visit to Woodberry we again suffered defeat un- der the hand of a fast basket making team, whose defense was just too tough to break. Bob johnson and Dick Som- merfeld took I4 and I3 point honors while Austin, Hessler and McKay added to the Jackets' share of the score. HANDLEY HIGH SCHOOL, 22 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 32 Bidding for a second win against Handley, the Jackets opened a first half drive with a I9-5 lead. Sommerfeld took scoring honors with I7 points, while Austin, Overton, Cory and Hessler topped off the victory with their share of the points. STAUNTON MILITARY ACADEMY, 43 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, 20 The jackets took their second defeat of the season from S. M. A. on the Staunton court. Their team was too fast and furious in their scoring for our jackets. Although it was another defeat for us, due credit should go to jimmy Austin for his never ceasing efforts on the Jacket defense. CHARLES TOWN HIGH SCHOOL, 34 RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY, I8 A scarlet fever epidemic kept our next two opponents, A. M. A. and Episcopal High. from entertaining us and so a game was scheduled with Charles Town High School. Under the attack of a fast offensive quint, the jackets lost their last game of the season. Credit gors to Paul Shrader. swift Jacket guard, who led the R.-M. A. scoring attack. .W-..,,A, X +1 ,, EW ' 4 35 , -912525 1 frmfw .X , ,,,KNw . , W, wwf ' K , 'S Q ,, X .2 M ,. .i ,. N .,A.

THE PROPHECY OF THE' CLASS OF 1945 Grand Central Station-All out for New York! calls the conductor, Terrell Tyree, who for the past ten years has worked on Allen Brain's Transcontinental Railroad Line. Bidding our old classmate farewell, we start for the taxi stand. On the way to the street we stop to buy a paper at the news stand. I-landing the proprietor a nickel, we recognize another member of the Class of '45 at Randolph-Macon Academy, Bob Armstrong. It is the evening edition of the N ew York Times, edited by Loring S. Jones, financially backed by Arthur Morris, and bearing the date, June 40, l955. We hail a cab and tell the driver, who turns out to be Tommy Queer, to head for the Great White Way. As we ride along we read the headlines, President Schley nominates Applegate Ambassador to Cuba. Further down the page we read of a scientific experiment being conducted by Mutt Watkins and James Kirk. The next news item that attracts our attention tells us of a governors' con- vention being held at Dran Nichols' new Waldorf-Astoria l-lotel. Governors John Kamm of New York, Manning Woodward of Virginia, Fighting James Seville of North Carolina, E. Baur of Ohio and Archie Taylor of Maryland will be present. On the society page we note that the following celebrities are in town: Cecil Eby, head of Boy Scouts of America: Colonel Don Hall, principal of Hall I-lallg Bob Moss, United Airline magnateg and the leading surgeon of our day, Dr. james Austin of Pittsburgh. Also on the society page we see that Playboy Bill Robertson is taking his third wife and that J im Edmonds is engaged to the New York Fire Chief's daughter. A Turning to the sports section we read in Bill Naylor's column that Wee Willie Wil- liamson is wrestling Emmitt Smith in the Gardens on Tuesday. The match is promoted by James Wright and Mac McCarty. ' The cab having arrived at Times Square, we get out. Realizing that our pants are rumpled from travel, we enter the press while you wait shop of Don Lehner and Clark l-lening, still cleaning up. Right there we found too that there was an extremely profitable shoeshine stand being conducted by Danny McKay, with Doug Ullmann as his junior part- ner. Well, those boys really should do well, they've had enough experience. Upon leaving this establishment, we run into our old classmate C. B. Melton, who in- forms us that he has just sold the Brooklyn Bridge to Tom Davis and Buster Babb, two country gentlemen visiting the big town of New York for the first time. C. B. also tells us that Glenn Overton is now selling hair restorer on the corner of Broadway and Forty-second Street. Continuing on down the Great White Way we meet Rogers who is selling pencils to the passersby. 89 The lights and advertisements around Times Square hold many familiar names. A large Kreml Hair Oil ad pictures Stuart Payne as the young man with well groomed hair. Another illuminated sign reads Aqua Follies, Featuring Dick Perkins, Backstroke Champ. To our left the Capitol Theatre is advertising Ed Steed and His Boogie-Woogie Piano. Up the street we can see Howard Woodward's Paramount, the new horror show, Frankenstein the Second, is having its premiere, with Jim Marshall producing the here-to-fore unheard of elec- trical effects. A tremendous billboard informs us that Bob Lancaster's new circus, featuring Alan Butler's midget show, starring Bill Mclnnis, the only seven-foot midget in captivity, will be in town soon. Hearing a loud noise in the middle of the block we hurry to it and find that julian Rice, the famous and celebrated preacher of the street is holding a meeting. As the first hymn is played by the Gospel Band we notice Dick Swenson and Tom l-lessler. It is growing late and we hurry so that we can catch the evening performance of the newest smash hit of the season Legs, Legs, and More Legs, produced by John L. Bethune and featuring Dick Bennett, on leave from the Navy, as ventriloquist. .lack Schuler is the Master of Ceremon- ies, and Ed. Allen is the comedian in the cast, while Johnny Boggs and his boys from Harlem furnish the pit music. Upon reaching our seats on the bald head row we are pleased to find Boyd Guttery, the distinguished diplomat and Rose, the florist, seated next to us. After an hilarious show, we find that we are hungry and proceed to a Spaghetti House, where the manager is none other than Tony Cherico, and our order is taken by that singing waiter, Lee Odell. Having seen the sights of New York, we now take a cab to Laguardia Field where we board a southbound plane. Our pilot proves to be none other than the American Ace, who downed thirty Zeros, on the English Front, Lucky Short. As we settle back in our seats we note that one of our fellow passengers is the noted Cyrus Harding, of Kentucky Blue Grass fame. As we reminisce over old times on the Hill, our plane takes off, leaving New York and old friends far behind us. 90 lllili ADVERTISERS WE WISH TO THANK the advertisers of this hook for their fine cooperation in help- ing to make it a success, and hope that the faculty, friends, and students of R.-M.
