Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carolina Magazine, Vol. 70: October, 1940 In Greenville, the Captain continued with his high-school education and supplemented this with more practical experience in the nature of various odd jobs which he held during his summer months. Whatever else these months may have taught him, he learned the valuable lesson that the material goods of this world, though frequently acquired with difficulty, are just as frequently carelessly squandered for he frankly admits that he spent every cent he made, just as any other kid would have done. In 1908, young Haggart received his appoint ment to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. There are two influences which figure large in the Captain's decision to enter this country's sea-going fighting forces. Most important, was the pressure which was brought to bear upon him by various interested uncles and cousins who were determined that he should carry on the family tradition by taking a commission in one of the services. The hand of fate may be perceived in his entering the Navy, since; the Captain explains, his decision was largely forced by his appointment to Annapolis being the first to arrive in the mail.
