He recalls the teachers, the courses, playing soccer, matches against the Miller School, a curve ball demonstration by professional baseball player and Charlottesville native Charlie Ferguson. Hawkins also mentions attendance at the University of Virginia, his start as a newspaperman, extra in a mob scene at the Levy Opera House, and the accidental killing of his deskmate by another pupil.
