A.H.S. Military Cadets
Develop Shooting Ability
All boys taking advantage of
the military training offered by
the R.O.T.C. program at Athens
High School are getting a chance
this year to not only learn about
rifie shooting, but to actually try
their hands at the trigger.
During the war yéars when am
munition was scarce the cadets
were unable to shoot and since the
war only some of the cadets have
had the opportunity.
All Shoot
This year all of the R. O. T. C.
members, which total over 100,
are getting to shoot. They shoot
on the University of Georgia rifle
range.
The unit is smaller this c{len
than usual because the high school
is making the chénge over from
the 11 to 12 egrnde system. The
unit is expected to be larger next
year.
From the best shooters a rifle
team has been chosen, which is
the first team in the school’s his
tory. The team members have
fired three matches and have been
defeated in them all, but by only
narrow margins. The team is now
participating in the William Ran
dolph Hearst trophy matches and
the Army Area Intercollegiate
maiches.
“Making Progress”
Major R. E. Kennington, head
of the R, O. T. €. unit at the
school, says he thinks the cadets
are making a great deal of pro
gress in shooting. Aso he thinks
the opportunity of everyone get
ting a chance benefits the boys as
well as the unit.
Principal Sam W. Wood said,
“I'm delighted that the cadets
have the opportunity of shooting
and of forming a rifle team.” Al
so he said he thought the cadets
were learning a lot about shooting
in this way.

STRANGE LETTER

King Leo‘;)old. Queen Mary, Sen.

netic power,
The letter was postmarked from

characters he has made famous. Below is the first “Boots and Her Buddies” strip, February 18, 1924,
‘Boots’ Celebrates 25th Anniversary;
Edgar Martin Congratulated On Comic
By HAL COCHRAN
NEA Staff Correspondent
A quarter of a century ago—to
be eXact, Feb. 18, 1924—the girl
who was to become known as the
“Sweetheart of the Comics” made
her first appearance in newspap
ers all over the country. She was
Boots, star character then and still
star character in Edgar E. Mar
tin’'s comie strip “Boots and Her
Buddies.”
Today “Boots and Her Buddies”
reaches an audience of more than
60,000,000 readers and is one of
the notable features in The Ban
ner-Herald and today the 519
daily and 229 Sunday newspapers
in which it appears are united in
congratulating Edgar E. Martin as
he celebrates the 25th anniversary
of his popular comic.
Drew Salamanders
Frogs, Grasshoppers
It was in July, 1921, when Mar
tin, then 23, landed a job in the
comic art department of NEA
Service, Inc. (The Newspaper En
terprise Association). Having first
tried his hand at drawing when
he made sketches of salesmanders
frogs and grasshoppers, it was a
big jump to comic sketches, espe
cially to sketches of pretty girls.
Martin was born in Indianapo
lic, Ind., July 6, 18988. Shortly
thereafter his family moved to
Nashville, Tenn., and then to
Monmouth, 111, where his father
was a professor at Monmouth Col
lege. It was in his early coillege
days that Martin began drawing
reptiles and such. In his junior
year he quit Monmouth College to
enter the Academy of Fine Arts
in Chicago. His art prospered and
he joined I}IEA Service, : .
At first he drew several comics
with varying success—‘‘ Fables of
1921,” “Efficiency Ed” and ‘“‘Taken
From Life.” In 1924 NEA was
looking for a girl comic. Several
artists who had submitted sample
strips were asked to re-submit
them. Martin heard about this
and, in his off hours at home,
tried his hand in that field. His
comic, unsigned, was considered
with the others—and it was the
one picked. “How soon can we get
this artist?” one of the comic
board members asked. “In about
one minute,” the comic art direc
}tor replied. He works here.”
. So, on Feb. 18, 1924, Boots was
“‘bom” as the main character in
“Boots and Her Buddies.” Orig
inally the strip featured four girls
-~Boots, Cora, Marge and Ann. It
wasn’t long , however, until Martin
decided that four girls were too
lmany for one fellow to keep track
'af, anad Ann and Marge were
dropped. Cora, a school teacher,
remained true to type, while Boots
was developed into a glamour girl
and became widely known as the
“Sweatheart of the Comics.”
Attending numerous style
shows, Martin became a fashion
expert. Years of dressing Boots
developed a style sense that de
signers of feminine finery often
copy.
In 1926, after Boots’ brother
Bill took her to New York on a
shopping spree, in preparation for
the Easter Parade on Fifth Ave
nue, Boots was given a new hair
cut called the “Boots Bob.” It

clicked immediately and was en
dorsed by leading heair dressers of‘
New York and other large cities.
In 1927, when Cora, with whom
Boots had been rooming, married
Professor Stephen Tutt, Boots
moved in with them. Meanwhile,
a new character, Babe, entered the
strip as a close friend of Bots.
In the early days Boots had her
greatest following among high
school and college students. They
loved this glamour girl, delighted
in her numerous romances.. In
1939 Boots was honored guest, in
sketch form, at the Yale Junior
Prom, in New Haven. In formal
attire, she occupied a place of
‘honor among the ballroom decora
ltions. Martin drew “Guest Ticket
‘Number One” from the prom
committee. One of Martin’s tough
est jobs came later the same year
when he was picked to settle a
battle of beauty between co--ed
teams from Akron University and
Kent State University, at Akron,
O. The Akron co-eds won—and
Martin escaped from town all in
ane piege. - id i S L
Popular little Pug, destined to
become one of the cutest kids in
the comics, first appeared in
“Boots and Her Buddies” in
March, 1939, when Boots took her
from a summer resort to the Tutt’s
home after Pug’s father, J. X,
“Bettem’” High ,a world traveler,
disappeared. Later, the father
turned up and decided to leave
Pug in Tutt’s care.
Readers Demanded
Wedding Bells
Martin kept Boots in gaiety and
single blessedness until 1945.
Readers will remember the nu
merous swains who came to pay
court to her, but it was Rod Rug
gles who brought a mighty cre
scendo of letters demanding wed
ding bells, and Martin decided to
let Boots go to the altar. She and
Rod were married Oct. 2, 1945.
“Boots and Her Buddies” became
a family comic, with appeal for all
ages, when a new kind of romance
came into the life of Boots— a
baby boy, born July 4, 1946. Again
Martin’s great army of readers
displayed their intrest by besieg
ing him with suggestions for
names for the baby and he picked
the one that was the most popular
—David.
Recently Pug went to live with
Boots and Rod. She became an
established member of the family
when her father’s yatch was lost at
sea with all on board. As Pug has
grown from a cross bétween Pol
lyanna and Peck’s bad boy to
brash adolescene, her pepularity
has grown with miflions of news
paper readers. She has become
an invaluable character in Mar
tin's strip. i :
For years Edgar E. Martin lived
in Cleveland, 0., headquarters of
NEA. He now makes his home in
Clearwater, Fla.,, and though he
still attends style shows and now
and then judges a Boots contest,
he prefers spending his time a
home with his wife and daughter
home with his wife and daughters,
and indulging in an occassional
round of golf.
To his intimates, Martin is
known as ‘“Abe”-—to millions of
others as the man who draws
“Boots and Her Buddies,” the
comic that is not only still going
strong, but is more popular than
ever—after 25 long years.

Tight Game
AUBURN, Ala., Feb. 18—(AP)
—Auburn won a hotly-fought
decision over Florida last night,
44-43, in the final minutes of a
Southeastern Conference basket
ball game here.
Florida led 24-23 at half-time.
With two minutes to go, Auburn
Center Bill Nixon made two free
throws good to send his team
ahead after Gator forward Bill At
kinson had tied the count at 38-
38.
Emmett McAfee’s field goal in
creased Auburn’s edge, but tallies
by Julian Miller and Atkinson of
Florida almost discounted it.

margin of victory with a wood one

tied five times and the lead chang
ed hands 10 times.
Nixon took scoring honors with
20 points. Harry Hamilton led
