IN SPIRIT, NOT YEARS
By Fran Pachter
/1 'HE Military Academy and
Cyril Gunther were synonymous
with one another as both had been
closely associated for thirty
years. He had been in on its
birth from idea form to actual
being. Through the long years
of struggle, when a handful of
boys had been their mainstay,
he along with four other teachers
had given up their salaries on
many occasions to help defray
expenses..
Interest in the Academy had to
'be fostered and parents sold on
the idea that their school was
the right one for their boys. Look-
ing back, Cyril wondered at their
daring, but the worth of their
plan lay before him. From one
building it had grown to be an
edifice that stretched the span of
the land. From nonentity it had
grown to a spot high on the list
of accredited schools. From the
original four teachers its staff
now numbered almost one hun-
dred, all well trained and versa-
tile. Cyril was the last of th£ orig-
inal four left, they had been lucky
as death had claimed them. He was
being forced out by age and retire-
ment.
Sixty-five! Funny, Cyril thought.
At the time the age limit had been
set up, it had seemed a long way
off. Now it loomed with all the
swiftness of a monster. He ^elt
old and a bit frightened. *
Old Cy, they called him. He’d
known that, but hadn’t paid any
attention to it till now. Along
with his nickname had been
coupled the adjectives of old
fashioned, quaint, all symbolic of
aging. Cy felt righteous indigna-
tion take hold. The young up-
starts! He had molded many a
fine lad from raw materia1 into
success. Many had been panty
waists, mama’s - babies, now
grown, who embraced titles of
prominence. Had all that been
for naught? Didn’t that mean
anything? He boiled over with

resentment at being cast aside
like an old shoe.
Putting in a long distance call,
he made connections with Gen.
Ormsby, and acquainted him with
the situation. A smile wreathed
his face at the General’s answer.
A few more calls went out via
the lines and after each one, Cy’s
face wore a beam of victory.
The faculty was blissfully un-
aware of Cy’s extra curricular
activities. Along with their teach-
ing duties they were busily planning
a testimonial dinner in Cy’s honor.
Suddenly the school atmos-
phere tensed as it always did when,
something unusual was about to
happen. An avalanche of calls
flooded the telephone lines, all
protesting Cy’s retirement. A
drop in school enrollment seemed
eminent if Cy left. If they had not
been so engrossed in precedent,
they would have noticed that Cy’s
face wore a sly, pleased expres-
sion. His step was springier and
years dropped from his face.
Forced by the pressure of pa-
rental demands, a new resolution
was adopted, age was not to be
the prime consideration govern-
ing retirement, future Pfequire-:
ments to be health and ability of
the party.
Cy was called in and their deci-
sion announced. He did not by a
single word or gesture give away
his part in the change of rules.
He readily agreed to stay on, find-
ing it hard to hide his secret satis-
faction over the outcome of his
strategy. Plans went ahead for
the dinner, but it was to be just
an honorary one.
Cy awoke tired the morning of
his dinner. He spent a busy day
but did not show up on time for
the dinner. They found him on
a day bed in his study. Beside
him lay a diary on whose pages
lay proof of his Actions. Cy had
won and lost a victory that day.
