Headmaster Terms School's Past Outstanding

"Staunton Military Academy has been outstanding in its academic and military program and in ath- letics since it was founded 100 years ago," Maj. Garland D. Had- dock, Headmaster, told Rotarians in a recent address. His talk was in observance of the school's 100th anniversary.

"Founded in 1860 by Capt. Wil- liam H. Kable, SMA is one of the three oldest military schools," the speaker stated. It was the first military honor school in the South, provided with a professional mili- tary staff to plan military training. Since first receiving this recogni- tion it has never failed to be an honor school," the speaker said.

The star on the sleeves of the cadets is the symbol of the honor school, he explained.

Graduates from "the Hill" stand high on the dean's lists of the na- tion's colleges, Maj. Haddock com- mented.

Among the honors won in re- cent years by the school are: first place for the Howie Rifles drill team at the 1960 Apple Blossom Festival; second place for the band in Winchester in 1959, and best drum major in 1957 and 1960. Eastern Prep basketball champions in 1960, and tennis and baseball championships in the Military Lea- gue in 1960. —■—

Col. J. Worth Pence, Headmas- ter from 1938 to 1958 was invited to take part in President Eisen- hower's White House Conference on Education. Col. Harrison S. Dey, superintendent of SMA, last year was presented with a special citation by the Secretary of De- fense.

The school's swimming team won the state and southern inter- scholastic swimming championships in 1957 and the two preceding years.

Maj. Haddock was accompanied at the head table yesterday by Maj. William C. Moon, Assistant to the Superintendent. F. C. Hamer, a graduate of SMA, acted as pro- gram chairman and presented the speaker. o

P.S.A.T. Tests For Juniors

The Preliminary Scholastic Ap- titude Tests will be taken by all juniors on Saturday, October 22. These tests are comparable to the May College Board Exams and will supplement them as practice exams for college. The tests will be a tremendous aid to Major Haddock, the Headmaster, by helping him place the juniors in the best possible program for their -en'or year. Captair Case will ad- minister the tests w h the assist- ance of the other m nibers of the faculty. The results will be known approximately six weeks after the test date. o

Big Enrollment This year Staunton has one of

the largest Corps of Cadets in the history of Staunton Military Acad- emy, with an enrollment of 623 Cadets. There are 556 Cadets on the "Hill," 67 Cadets in the Junior School, and of these 16 are (lay students.

Col. Dey Suffers Heart Attack

Col. Harrison S. Dey, Academy Superintendent, suffered a heart attack Thursday morning, September 1. He was taken to King's Daughters' Hospital for treatment, where he re- mained for nearly a month. He has returned home to com- plete his convalescence, and after recuperative leave will re- turn to his office. His progress has been excellent.

In the absence of Col. Dey from his office, the Academy Board of Directors elected Maj. William C. Moon to serve as Assistant to the Superintendent. In this capacity Maj. Moon is carrying on the duties of Superintendent until Col. Dey can resume his work.

Capt. Richard M. Eslinger has been named Acting Head of the Language Department, to serve until Maj. Moon can resume his full teaching duties, and Capt. Robert H. Wease has been appointed to serve as the afternoon librarian.

The SMA Tradition This year marks the beginning of a second centurv of

tradition for the Staunton Military Academy. Over the preceding 100 years, much has been accomplished and many goals have been achieved, setting a precedent that we as the 101st Corps of Cadets must follow with wholehearted support.

Although some of the old traditions have been aban- doned, and some new ones have been formed, our basic traditions will always remain the same as they have for the past century. These traditions are TRUTH, DUTY, and HONOR, three words which should be more meaning- ful to us than any other words of our vocabularies.

They have made SMA great for one century and will do it again for the next if they are supported by you, the Corps of Cadets.

The tradition of the second century of SMA has al- ready begun to form. We are this tradition, and we shall be for as long as SMA exists as a place of learning. The old tradition will continue to live on, but it is the new one that will become the inspiration of future Corps of Cadets. Will this tradition that we are creating be as good as the old? It is up to each of us, as individuals, to decide.

Headmaster's Notes

Seniors should begin making ap-

plication for entrance to college.

It is advisable to request a copy

of the college's latest catalogue

when applying for admission forms.

Study the catalogue carefully.

Check the catalogue to see if the

college requires the tests of the

College Entrance Examination

Board. Some colleges require the

morning test only; others require

both morning and afternoon tests.

If colleges require both morning

and afternoon tests, March is the

time to take the afternoon tests.

Candidates for graduation at

midyear should take the Decem-

ber CEEB examinations.

Watch for announcements and

notices on the academic bulletin

board concerning College Board

examination application dates, test-

ing dates and other pertinent data.

Applying for admission to take College Board examinations is a double operation. First, a request is sent to College Entrance Exam- ination Board, P. O. Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey, asking for information, booklets, and appli- cation forms. Second, when the form arrives, it should be filled in and returned to the board with proper fee.

Application for the January

Reading Tests Given New Cadets

Nelson-Denny Reading Tests were given to all new cadets on Sunday, September 18. The tests were administered under the super- vision of Capt. Case and Capt. Cox.

These tests have been administer- ed to new boys for the past eight years, and the results are used as a guide to determine which cadets need reading assistance. They also provide the Headmaster with an index of the student's reading level in relation to his grade level.

The scores on this test have al- ready- been given to all English teachers for reference. Any student interested in his approximate score should inquire about it from his English teacher, or from Capt. E. B. Cox, director of the reading program.

examination must be done prior to the Christmas furlough.

Examine the college catalogues to see if fifteen or sixteen units are required for entrance. Compare the college's specific requirements with your high school classes to see if you meet the college's de- mands.

All negotiations with colleges and universities should be done by the candidate for admission and not by parents, friends or teachers. An impression of immaturity is "riven, if the student does not han- dle these matters himself.

Pass In Review

PETER G. G. SWEETING

Peter G. G. Sweeting, known to his friends as Pete, holds the posi- tion of Battle Group Commander of the Corps of Cadets at SMA, with the rank of Cadet Major, entering the academy three years ago as a freshman, he was assign- ed to "F" Company. Returning his sophomore year, he was as- signed to "A" Company holding the rank of corporal, and then first sergeant of "B" Company his jun- ior year.

Sweeting, from Nassau, Bahamas, quickly adapted himself to the military life and has participated in many school functions. This year he is President of the Senior Class, head of the Honor Court and Howie Rifles, and a member of the Cotillion Club and the NCO Reduction Board. Sweeting is also the 1960-61 Captain of the swim- ming team. He has served on the Cotillion Club, Decorating Com- mittee, Kablegram and Shrapnel. In his Junior year Sweeting was the business manager of the school's literary magazine, the Scimitar.

Sweeting has won many awards and honors at SMA: the Head- master's ribbon three times, Com- mandant's ribbon four times, Merit ribbon three times, Military rib- bon four times, MST 3's Associa- tion of the U S. Army Medal, the Superior Military Schools Rib- bon, and a Marksmanship Medal.

Sweeting was elected to the Kablegram Hall of Fame as Best Liked Non-Commissioned officer, and took third place as Best All Around Cadet in the Corps in his junior year. After graduation, Sweeting plans to attend the U. S. Coast Guard Academy or the Uni- versity of Virginia.

Commandant's Puzzle

A new feature this year in the

Kablegram is a puzzle which will

be featured in the Commandant's

column. The puzzle will consist

of a phonetical German phrase. One

could perhaps call it a "Pig-Latin" German expression. The cadet who gives the best and the most idiomatic English translation will be rewarded with a special pass. Naturally this pass will not auth- orize a two week furlough or a cadet's being excused drill, but the reward will be desirable.

The first phrase will be the easiest one of the year. The terms will be ones used expressly in ordnance and guidance systems.

Give your English translation for this:

"DAS PULLEN UND SCHOVEN WERKE"

Any cadet in the Corps who speaks German will have a definite advantage. But do not get dis- heartened; Colonel Dove has sug- gested that a great help in solv- ing the puzzle would be to read the phrase aloud. Entries should be given to Cadet Holmes, Kable- gram Editor. The winner of the first contest will be announced in the next Kablegram. The judging will be conducted by Colonel Dove '

Without A Friend by Bill Weaver

Another day is near an end. One spent alone, without a friend. "What do I care?" I might ask. Life is not a pleasant task. Life's full of trouble, strife, and

toil. Pay the bills — till the soil. Hopes and dreams gone with the

wind. Is this life without a friend? A broken bone that will not mend. A rich man who will not lend. A lonely night — a dreary sight. A cigarette without a light. A boy turned crook—a dried-up

brook. A love letter you cannot send.

Miller Tops Junior Varsity

The Junior Hilltoppers lost their first game of the season, October 7, when upset by Miller School of Albemarle 56-0. The "junior Hill- toppers" lack experience.

Outstanding in Friday's play were Carl Wienrich, Bill Dennis, and Herb Corn. The latter did fine running for SMA.

The Jayvees should improve with Major Johnson's coaching and the team's hard practice and playing.

SMA, 19- Fishburne, 0

Having dropped to two non- league foes, SMA registered its first win of the season, Saturday, October 8, blanking the Fishburne Military School "Caissons," 19-0.

SMA scored twice in the first half and once in the second to provide the margin for victory. They displayed a fast rolling of- fense that chalked up 248 yards total offense. A 131 of these yards came through the air. The airlanes had been the weak spot in the first two games but proved to be the key to success here Saturday. The Staunton quarterbacks led by Dick Matesic completed 10 of 20 passes, more than they had in the two previous games.

SMA proved they meant busi- ness from the start. Fishburne fullback Horace Moore fumbled on the first play of the game and SMA took over only to give the ball back on a return fumble two plays later. After forcing Fish- burne to punt in four plays the Hilltoppers started their march to paydirt from their 43. After Win- ston Wine got a first down on the Fishburne 31, Matesic hit end Byron Malogrides for 13 yards. Fishburne drew a 15 yard penalty on the play, giving Staunton a first on the visitor's 6. Lucka carried to the 4 and Barry Steadman found a hole off tackle for the score. Bench's conversion attempt was wide and the home team held a 6-0 lead into the second quarter.

Early in the second period the Hilltoppers got a break when tackle Al Van Ness recovered a Fishburne fumble deep in their own territory- Wine carried twice to a first down on the Fishburne 7. Halfback Tim McGann carried twice to the 2. On the next play Bensch recovered his own fumble for a one yard loss but set the stage for Steadman to get the 6 points from three yards out.

Again the conversion was wide and Staunton carried a 12-0 lead into the dressing room at half.

Fishburne kicked off and Stead- man returned 20 yards and with the help of a slugging penalty on the return, the Hilltoppers, had a first on Fishburne's 46. A pass from Matesic to Malogrides, good for 20 yards, gave Staunton another first on the Fishburne 21. On third down and four Matesic faded and found Malogrides open on the 3. The 178-pound end fell forward, giving Staunton their first and goal on the 1. On the first play McGann, a third string quarter- back last year, proved his worth as a halfback diving over for the touchdown. Gary Crosby convert- ed to complete the day's scoring at 19-0.

Throughout the remainder of the game the Hilltoppers threatened only to be turned back at the mouth of the Fishburne goal three

SMA Drops Takes First Glass, 26-SMA, 7 The "Hilltoppers" from SMA

journeyed to Lynchburg Friday,

September 23, for a night encoun-

ter with the "Hilltoppers" of E. C.

Glass High School. It was the

opening game for SMA while Glass

had already won two games.

The game was featured by the

rugged line play of both teams.

SMA's defensive middle guard,

Dick Shimrak, and linebacker,

John Sheehy, did a tremendous job

halting the bull-like plunges of

Glass's star fullback Don Gallier.

Jim Vizethann and Reid DeNyse

also did good jobs in containing

the powerful off-tackle thrusts of tailback Ed Brown. SMA's offen- sive forward wall was led by the blocking of guard John Panella.

Offensively, SMA moved the ball well, with Quarterback Dick Ma- tesic doing most of the signal calling. Barry Steadham, who scored SMA's only touchdown, was a workhorse for the "Hilltoppers" all night and played both ways. Fullback John Bensch showed some signs of hard running when he was carrying the ball.

Overall, the SMA team made a stellar showing against the state's number one high school football team. However, they made some costly mistakes which was ex- pected in an opening game and these mistakes gave Glass the op- portunity to break the game open. Glass went on to win the game 26-7.

times. Fishburne played a much tighter game in the second half and when the Caissons had their backs to the wall they rose up to hold the home team when it looked as if the Hilltoppers were sure to score.

Two, League Foe St. Francis, 25—

SMA,0 SMA opened its home debut Sat-

urday, October 1, in a afternoon contest against St. Francis Prep of Pennsylvania. Both teams dis- played identical records of 0-1 go- ing into the game. St. Francis had been beaten by St. Johns of Washington, D. C, and SMA beaten by E. C. Glass of Lynch- burg, Va. The game, which was rated as a toss-up, proved other- wise as it got underway. St. Francis dominated play through- out the game and went on to score a 25-0 victory over the "Hilltop- pers".

Against St. Francis, SMA lacked the spirit, hustle, and drive that they had shown in the opening game with Glass. The lack of ef- fort was noticeable early in the first quarter when SMA received several breaks but could not capi- talize on them. However, St. Francis did show the needed de- sire and hustle and went on to score their first win of the season and hand the "Hilltoppers" their second loss in as many starts. Two SMA boys, halfback Tim McGann and quarterback Ken Ridenour, gave the fans the impression that they will be playing a lot of ball for the "Hilltoppers" throughout the rest of the season. o
