"C" Company Wins Intramural Championship

"C" company came through the long intramural football season to go undefeated and win the championship. They played good steady ball and just had too much power for their opponents. "Charlie" had the reserve power to keep their opponents jumping when one of their key men was hurt. The "C" company line held on almost every play and seldom was the op- posing line fortunate to penetrate their backfield. The back-field was also great. The passing of Logan Blank and the brilliant receiving of Buddy Holleman completely baffled their opponents. When the speed was needed for a run, the ball was given to Ham Beggs who really picked them ' up and put them down as he went through the hole that the line was clearing for him.

To win the championship the "C" company team defeated "D" company in a game which was in doubt until the final gun. "D" company put up a good fight, but this was to no avail as the mighty "C" company line dug in and dis- played the resistance that has made them the champions of the 1955 season. Throughout the season the champions have showed good sportsmanship and should be congratulated for this.

T' Again Captures Honor Company

Fox Company Jias again won Honor Company for the month of November. This is the third con- secutive month that the hard fighting cadets of F Company have succeeded in beating all other companies on the "Hill". This month, as last month, C Company came in 3rd and the Regimental Band placed 2nd. On the PMS&T's rating, E Company lost the fewest number of points by losing only 19, while C and F Company were tied on losing the second least number of points. o

Corps Set For Xmas Furlough

Mr. Harding, representative from the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, was in the large study hall Mon- day, November 28, to make reser- vations for the cadets who plan to travel by train for the coming- Christmas vacation. His mission was met with great response, for all the cadets anticipate the coming furlough. The marvel of mod- ern travel makes it possible for SMA cadets to reach their respec- tive destinations in the minimum amount of time required to make the journeys.

In the days of our forefathers the time to cross our great conti- nent took months, but today it is possible to go from Washington to California by train in only a matter of days and by plane in several hours. It is possible to arrive at almost any destination in a rela- tively short time. The miraculous inventions of our decade tend to draw the world closer together and place each cadet nearer to his own front door.

However, due to the distances

Men Are Proud To Guard Tomb Of Unknown Soldier

From The Cadet Review Delafield Military Academy

The gray bulk of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D. C, symbol of a nation's hom- age to its war dead on Veterans' Day, is both inspiration and duty- post for 16 of the U. S. Army's finest every day of the year.

They are the selected members of the Third Infantry Regiment who constitute the Honor Guard for this most honored of Ameri- can soldiers.

Their names reflect all the national and religious strains that might have gone into the making of the nameless one who sleeps beneath the stone marker — Stroh- maier, Curtin, Gira, Wieland, Quinn, Kozlowski, Zych, Parissidi, Thomas, Braun, Allan, Schlichting, Tanner, Firl, Wadlinger.

In foul weather or clear, under skies bright or leaden, by day and by night, each in turn keeps the watch, his solitary, soldierly pac- ing a reminder that this tomb is a shrine, sacred to the people of the United States.

To these soldiers, the honor they are privileged to give is the great- est honor they could ask.

"It's the proudest duty a soldier can have," is the way the Ser- geant of the Guard, MSgt. Wood- row W. Magnum of Louisburg. N. C, put it.

Magnum, a 15-year veteran of World War II whose lifelong am- bition has been his present assign- ment, knows that he speaks not only for himself but his men; his is the responsibility to select each of them, the 12 sentinels and the three Corporals of the Guard.

"Unless a soldier considers this duty the honor it is, he cannot qualify," the sergeant says.

This attitude, of course, is only one step in the selective process.

It begins, actually, when a man becomes a member of the regiment, oldest of such Regular Army units, designated the official cere-

Foard, "C" Company Command- er, is in his third year at Staun- ton. Before being elected president of the senior class, Bill was voted to be one of the senior class representatives on the Honor Committee two months ago. Upon graduation Foard plans to enter the University of Maryland.

Hector Cases, 2nd Battalion Commander, is now in his sixth year at the academy. He spent two years in the Junior School. Cases, like Foard, was also elected to be one of the senior class representatives in the Honor Commit- tee. Hector plans to attend Har- vard University.

The treasurer, J. Logan Blank, commands the First Battalion. Lo- gan, who plans to enter the Air Force Academy, is barracks com- mandant of South Barracks and plays on the varsity baseball team.

Jon L. Levy, the Regimental Adjutant, is in his sixth year at the academy. Jon, who attended the Junior School for two years, is going to attend the Citadel upon graduating from SMA.

The sergeant at arms of the senior class is cadet 2nd Lieuten- ant Richard Beaver, the commander of the Color Guard. Dick plans to enter Ohio State University after graduation.

The Kablegram, as well as the faculty and staff, congratulate the officers of the 1955-56 senior class.

monial regiment when reactivated in April of 1948.

Third Infantrymen must con- form to certain physical require- ments: height, not more than six feet, three inches, nor less than five feet, nine inches; weight, evenly distributed within limits of 145 to 200 pounds (Tomb guards must be at least six feet tall).

They must show records un- blemished by periods of absence without leave or confinement; all must be single and look well in their uniforms. They must be above-average in intelligence. Final selection for duty with the regiment depends upon personal inter- views before a board of officers.

Duty with the Honor Guard is voluntary. The request is made through the applicant's regimental platoon sergeant to the Sergeant of the Guard at the Tomb.

Once assigned to the guard, a sentinel walks the rubber mat in

"FLASH"

The True Meaning of Christmas Beautiful cards are being sent, people are shopping for

presents, and vacation plans are being made. Yes, it's the most joyous holiday season of the year, Christmas. But wait, let us put aside our thoughts of presents and vacations; let us try to recall just what Christmas really means.

It was really not so long ago, less than two thousand years, that a Baby was born in a manger; He was born to free the world from sin and slavery and to restore dignity to man, the individual. How quickly the world brimmed over with happi- ness at the news of the Redeemer's birth! Many brought gifts, symbols of love and hope, to the tiny Christ. Nevertheless, the first Christmas was not celebrated to see how many gifts every- one would receive. It was a spontaneous expression of joy, for a Redeemer had come to earth.

Today the world is filled with many great and terrible sins. War and hatred rage as people forget that they are all brothers. Some Communist countries not only forget Christ's birthday, but they prevent their people from attending church on that day.

Christmas should not be taken for granted. Every Christian should remember to pray for mankind on that day, attending the church of his choice. This year, we should try not to center our thoughts and activities of Christmas around the gifts we receive, but around the remembrance of Christ, who was born to save the world.

It's Your Mag Too! From "Palmetto and Pine," St. Petersburg High School,

St. Petersburg, Florida

"I am an American." This simple statement and the feeling of deep pride behind it have throughout history fired the hearts and souls of men. Love of this country has, for generations, brought forth the highest acts of courage.

During the wars of our past the true sons and daughters of America have immediately dropped the reins of every-day life and answered the call for defense. The bravery of our fighting men has been well illustrated — from the Revolution, where we fought on our own soil, to the present war in Korea. Triumph- antly American patriots have gone to their death to save the flag of our country from disgrace at the hands of the enemy.

We do not revere a mere piece of cloth when we salute the stars and stripes. Just as the Cross and Bible are the symbol of Christianity and the Star of David is the symbol of Judism, our flag is symbolic of the democratic concepts, equality, and freedom that make up the American way of life.

In view of the above, it is nauseating to witness the disrespect which our flag receives morning, noon, and night from a few students!

Look around you some morning! The bugle blows and the solemn ceremony of raising the flag commences. Some of the students simultaneously commence their jabbering, making you seriously wonder if their predecessors didn't also jabber to each other while swinging from tree to tree by their tails. Others slouch to their feet and stand there with an imbecilic expression, reminding one of the stupid oxen in the fields.

The picture changes in the afternoon. These same few students are so determined to reach their petty little destinations in a hurry that they cannot stand silently for a few seconds while the flag is lowered.

Homeroom and assembly produce the most flagrant displays of disrespect. Unfortunately, there are those among us who have not the decency to at least remain quiet if they feel no loyalty to America. They must sacrifice our Pledge of Allegiance on the altar of their own ego by making stupid remarks that are intend- ed to be humorous.

These students by no means compose the majority of SPHSians. However, students who are not in the above classification are not free from guilt. It is our duty to let the culprits know, in no uncertain terms, exactly what we think of their con- duct.

Pass In Review

From The Headmaster

1. Cadets should discuss with their parents during the Christmas furlough any expected midyear re- classification. At the midyear new classes will be formed in solid geometry, trigonometry, advanced algebra, plane geometry, algebra II, algebra I, Spanish II, and Spanish I.

2. Cadets who are failing any of the above subjects at the midyear should probably transfer to a beginning class in that subject and repeat the first half of it in order to obtain a half credit instead of a complete failure.

3. Where no beginning class is being formed in a subject, failure can be remedied frequently by re- examination or by a greater effort. If the first quarter's work was failed in any- subject, greater effort is urged especially this quarter.

4. All cadets 'should make the best use possible of the few days remaining until the Christmas furlough and also of the few weeks between the Christmas furlough and the second quarter examina- tions. For review purposes only, January 7 and January 21 will be regular school days.

5. The third quarter begins for full year classes Monday, January 30 and for half-year classes, Tues- day, January 31.

6. Seniors are reminded that by this time they should have received their application forms from the College Board for the January 14 examination, and that they must return these forms to the Board with the fee at once. If this is not thoroughly understood, be sure to see the Headmaster.

Unknown Soldier (Continued from Page 1)

front of the Tomb — a paced dis- tance of some 23 to 25 steps — at a cadence of 128 paces a min- ute for an hour at a time. He pauses 20 seconds after each fac- ing movement and stands at at- tention for ten seconds when the Tomb is saluted at the changing of the guard. At no time does his head waver from the infantry- man's well-disciplined "eyes front."

The guard is changed every horn- on the hour by the Corporal of the Guard. There are three re- liefs — four sentinels and a Cor-, poral of the Guard — with each on duty for 24 hours and off for 48 hours. They live in quarters under the Trophy Room in the amphitheater near the Tomb when on duty.

Much of their "off-duty" time goes into preserving that "perfect appearance" Magnum demands — the gleaming leather, the sharply pressed and spotless uniforms, rifle-stocks and barrels that reflect even the smallest pin-point of light what ever hour the day or night.

The sentinel, in short, is a soldier — in every sense. As Mag- num says, "It's a proud job; it's easy to keep your head up in such a job."

Four y^ears ago Charles B. Perini, better known among the cadets as Chuck, spent his first year at SMA. Today he holds the position of company commander of "A" company. The name of this company is very well suited to its company- commander, for Chuck is not only very able as a company commander but as an all around cadet in the corps.

Chuck, who hails from Welles- ley Hills, Massachusetts, spent his first year on the "Hill" in "C" company. A corporal at the beginning of his second year, he was later promoted to sergeant and spent his third year as sergeant major on the second battalion staff. Today, as company commander of "A" company, Chuck still has the same spirit and en- thusiasm that has made him one of the most successful cadets on the "Hill".

Among the activities that Chuck has participated in have been varsity football, junior varsity football, and sports writers for the Kablegram. Needless to say, Chuck participates actively in all intramural sports activities.

Upon graduating, Chuck plans to attend Brown University where he will study civil engineering. One thing is for certain; whatever Chuck pursues in life, he will al- ways have the same success that he has had during his stay at SMA. o

This is an extensive privi- lege, and all cadets are urged to comply with academy regulations regarding the time for departure in returning to Staunton so that this practice will not be discon- tinued in the future.

Tankers To Meet UNC Frosh; Netters Play Shenandoah College Sat. Night Jeff Zwicker To Swim For N. Carolina Frosh

Jeff Zwicker and his mates from the University of North Carolina will furnish the tankers their first opposition of the year. Jeff was an All-American swimmer during his three years at the academy.

Staunton also has quite a few All-Americans. Lee Law- rence, Arther Stern, "Doc" Saffer, Jack Swagler, and Barry Goldwater made the mythical team last year. Coach Ed Dodge's charges are set for the meet, which is next Monday.

Athletes of the Year

Lawrence, Adams Are Co-Captains Swimming Team

Lee Lawrence and Johnnie

Adams have been named co-cap-

tains of the 19SS-56 swimming

team. Lawrence, from Moylan,

Pennsylvania, is now in his fourth

year at SMA. This is also Lee's

fourth year on the team. Lee is

one of the best swimmers ever to

hit SMA, and has proven it by

being chosen All-American the

last two years. He has been hit-

ting very good times at practice

so far this year and it looks as if

he is on the way to another great

season.

Johnnie Adams, from Staunton, Virginia, is on his third year on the team. Johnnie is the type of swimmer who consistently hits good times. John is a sergeant in E Company.

BILL ROSSI and ALGER PUGH

Bill Rossi was picked as the best and most prospective line-

man in this year's football squad. He has proved to our coaches

that he has the right material to make a successful player if he

continues on in college. He has made a good name for himself

while he has been here at SMA; not just as a fine player but also

as a fine fellow with a sincere character. Bill attended Lawrence High, in Lawerence, Mass. Here he received honorable mention

on the all-state football team. From SMA Bill is planning to attend Brandeis University in Mass., where he will continue his football career. Many good tackles have passed through SMA's gates, but Rossi has shown from his excellent performances that he should rank among the top. It is the backfield that makes all the runs and touchdowns but without the seven men that are up in front, the backfield would be worth nothing. It is logical to denote that the more powerful the line the better the backfield. This year's line is a strong and compact one, therefore, making our backs very strong and powerful. Bill Rossi and the rest of the fellows that played on the line are to be congratulated and praised, for this year's schedule was a difficult one, and it proves that they worked hard to get the recognition.

Alger Pugh has been picked from this year's squad as the best man in the playing backfield. He hails from Fredericksburg, Va. where he attended Spottsylvania High, winning numerous awards in football. As many have noticed, Alger is capable of doing many surprising feats with his body as he runs. Several times during this season he has run with the ball from the kick off, scoring a long seventy or eighty-five yard run. He is very fast and very good at picking an opening made by his fellow as- sociates. When he is hemmed in, he drives, spins, or bounces off would be tacklers. Not until they hit him low does he ever go down, and then sometimes he still keeps going. Alger Pugh stands a good 5' 11" and weighs 175 lbs. and has the stamina of a great backfield star. One of the best games Alger played was on No- vember 24, the Thanksgiving game with Fork Union Military Academy. He made three of the four scores of the game. For this feat and numerous others, Alger has made a name for himself that will not be forgotten in quite awhile. Alger Pugh, along with the rest of the backfield, should be praised and recognized for the wonderful season of the '55 squad.

Intramural Basketball Championship Underway

Intramural basketball, under the leadership of Lt. Stacy, has started and a good participation has been assured by all companies and the staff. All of the cadets who can are urged to get out and play for their company. They are also reminded that the more cadets a company gets into the game, the more points that particular company receives towards honor company.

The games are played in the small gym and there are two games played each afternoon. The first game of the afternoon starts at 3:45 and the second at 4:45. No players with street shoes will be allowed on the floor. Let's all make the basketball season just as successful as the football season and show the good sportsmanship which prevailed throughout the en- tire football season. A schedule of the games appears elsewhere in the KABLEGRAM.

Coach Pandak's Five Set For First Game Of Season

Coach Bill Pandak's basketball five will be put on display tomorrow night for the first time this year. The Hilltoppers will travel to Dayton, Virginia, to play Shenandoah College. Although Coach Pandak has not announced the starting five, reliable sources say that Buddy Holleman, Bob Perry, Ron and Don Deep, Art Cora, Pete Smith, and Alger Pugh will comprise the base of the team. Coach Pandak will not disclose the starting five until game time at 8:00.
