Six Receive Stevens Award

Six cadets received the Stevens Award at the Senior Luncheon, held Sunday, May 26. The Stevens Award was inaugurated in 1956 to commemorate the fiftieth anniver- sary of the founding of the Shrap- nel. Named for Captain L. Leary Stevens, editor of the first year- book in 1906 and for many years teacher of English at the Academy, the Stevens Award recognizes those cadets who have made out- standing achievement in scholar- ship, athletics, conduct, character, and military work.

Cadets receiving the Award: Adkins, S. James, Jr.; Crane- Baker, John W.; Landa, Stephen R.; Pais, Randall M.; Skrotsky, Robert W.; and Taylor, Stephen L.

From The Superintendent

To the Cadets of Staunton Military Academy:

Quite soon Staunton Mili- tary Academy's one hundred third session becomes but mem- ory, for Commencement is here. Appropriately we pause to ap- praise.

It is inevitable that attain- ment varies with individuals: for many it is much; for others it is adequate; and, unfortunate- ly, for a few it leaves something to be desired. Collectively, however, the year in general achievement compares favor- ably with any in the Academy's proud history.

The work of the classroom has enabled you to build greater knowledge, while from Corps life it is to be hoped that you have established strong values in citizenship and personal in- tegrity and responsibility.

To those who go forth to greater challenges — our best wishes as you en.er into college and career.

To those who are to return — boundless opportunities of learning, self-realization, and leadership await.

To all — a pleasant summer, a deserved vacation, and much success.

/Signed/ Harrison S. Dey Colonel, S. M. A. Superintendent

Publications Hold Dinner

Each year SMA invites all of those concerned with the three publications, the Kablegram, the Shrapnel, the Scimitar, to a Publi- cations Dinner held in the Ball- room of the Stonewall Jackson Hotel. This year the rousing ap- plause of the guests honored Miss Ann Leake, guest speaker and president of the Southern Inter- scholastic Press Association. She made a very interesting talk, and she was the hit of the evening.

Col. Dey, Capt. Case, Maj. Had- dock, and Capt. Walker were there to present the awards given by the publications. o

Shrapnel Honors Colonel Dove

The 1962-1963 edition of the Shrapnel, SMA's yearbook, is dedi- cated to Colonel William K. Dove, former Commandant.

Detached from that ship in June, 193S, he served successive tours at San Diego, San Francisco, and Quantico, before attending the Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1938. He completed that course in June, 1939, and a month later joined the 2nd Bat- talion, 10th Marines, at San Diego, as a battery commander.

Detached from the 10th Marines in September, 1940, he command- ed the Marine Detachment aboard the USS Charleston until July, 1942, when he rejoined the 2nd Battalion, 10th Marines, at San Diego, becoming battalion com- mander.

His promotion to lieutenant colonel came in March, 1943, and it was as a lieu- tenant colonel that he was awarded the Legion of Merit with Combat "V" for outstanding service and courageous conduct June 15-16, 1944, on Saipan. He was seriously wounded in action at the landing on Saipan, receiving a direct hit by a mortar shell in the left thigh.

Try - It's Not All That Bad As the school year comes to a close, each of us should

look back to see what he has accomplished. For some of us the year has gone by all too fast, but for most of us all too slowly. As time goes by, so does the life of each of us; therefore one must do the most he can at the present to be prepared for the future. College for the seniors is only a summer away, and for the rest it will come quicker than we think. Now is the time to look back and take stock for the future. If things don't look too bright, one can always work harder in the days to come. If your marks this year aren't up to par—make up for it next year, and if you don't think it's possible, just go ahead and try— no man has ever been downed for trying.

So now as you look back on what you have done this year, if your accomplishments aren't what you want them to be, work, for nothing comes without effort.

Less Vacation, Longer Day Urged By Prof

NEW YORK (SPE)—A profes- sor at Columbia University's Teach- ers College here thinks your sum- mer vacation should be cut to two weeks and your school day length- ened to six hours.

For good measure, he says if homework assigned at your school requires less than two hours a day it should be increased to two hours.

These steps, according to profes- sor Harold F. Clark, would give you a high school education equal to that students now achieve only after two years of college.

Clark's program, reported in Education U.S.A., also calls for strong efforts to secure greater interest in improved education among teachers, students, and the community, and thorough explora- tion of all possible technological de- vices to assist in recording and transmitting human knowledge.

Three Named To Academies

Three Staunton Military Acad- emy cadets have received appoint- ments to three different service academies.

Norman R. State of Rye, New York, will attend the U. S. Air Force Academy. Robert Skrotsky of Haddonfield, New Jersey, and Madrid, Spain, will enter the U. S. Naval Academy. Randall M. Pais of Keystone, West Virginia, has been appointed to the U. S. Mili- tary Academy.

State, who has been at SMA two and a half years, is a sergeant first class, serving as platoon leader in B Company. A member of the Howie Rifles, honor drill team, he has won academic, mili- tary, and conduct awards, as well as the Marksmanship medal. He holds varsity letters for track and swimming. The holder of an Honor Military School appoint- ment, State will report to the Air Force Academy June 24.

Skrotsky, in his second year at SAIA, is a second lieutenant, serv- ing as aide to the Commandant. He holds the Superintendent's Rib- bon, SMA's top academic award, along with numerous other aca- demic, military, and conduct dis- tinctions. He has won the Chicago Tribune Silver Medal and the Superior Junior Cadet Award. Skrotsky is a member of the Howie Rifles and of the Honor Court. He holds an Honor Mili- tary School appointment to An- napolis.

Pais, a three-year man at SMA, is a cadet first lieutenant, platoon leader in E Company. He has won the Superintendent's Ribbon, the top academic distinction, three times, together with other aca- demic, military, and conduct awards. Pais lettered in varsity basketball, served on the school newspaper, and is a member of the Howie Rifles. He has a principal Senatorial appointment to West Point.
