Program To Mark Close Of School's 105th Term

SMA Drops Army ROTC

Staunton Military Academy's Board of Directors has unanimous- ly decided to discontinue its af- filiation with the Army ROTC ef- fective at the close of this school session and to establish the school's own military program.

Plans for such a program are being developed.

The Board's statement said in part: "In the past it has been the policy of the Staunton Military Academy to select its cadets from fully qualified students chosen for their scholastic ability and per- sonal qualifications. The Board of Directors feels that the right of the selection of any student should remain entirely within the province of school authorities."

The above decision resulted from a recent Defense Department direc- tive requiring that ROTC and Na- tional Defense Cadet Corps schools execute an "Assurance of Compli- ance" in order to continue their ROTC affiliation.

REP. JOHN O. MARSH, JR.

Rep. John Marsh, Jr. To Deliver Address

United States Representative John O. Marsh, Jr., will address the Staunton Military Academy graduating class. The ceremony is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. (EST) on Sunday, May 30, in Kable Gymnasium of North Barracks.

First elected to Congress in 1962, Rep. Marsh serves on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, an important assignment for a relatively new congressman.

A resident of Strasburg, Virginia, Rep. Marsh holds a law degree from Washington and Lee University, Lexington.

He was commissioned into the Army in World War II at the age of 19, serving with the occupation forces, Germany. Presently he is a Major in the Virginia National Guard, having completed the Air- borne Mobility Course (paratroop- er), Fort Benning, Georgia.

A career of local government service in Virginia preceded Rep. Marsh's election to Congress. He served as a school board member, town attorney, and town judge.

Active in civic and church af- fairs, Rep. Marsh was cited as "Outstanding Young Man in Vir- ginia — 1959" by the Virginia Jaycees. He was also the recipient of the distinguished service medal of the Virginia department, Ameri- can Legion.

Rep. Marsh is a member of ODK, national leadership fratern- ity, the Masonic Lodge, the Amer- ican Bar Association, the Presby- terian Church, and many other groups and organizations.

He is married and has three children.

New Concepts Adopted For Blue and Gold

The advisor and staff of the Blue and Gold, SMA's yearbook, an- nounced last week that, in accord with an entirely new concept of the school yearbook at Staunton, the 1965 book will cover the en- tire school year rather than 3/4 of it, as in previous years. In tins respect it will be a true "year-

book." This is one of many innovations

in the yearbook this year. The name was changed from the Shrapnel, and an entirely new format has been initiated. It is felt that having the whole year depicted will better allow Seniors to look back on their entire final

year. The Senior s, post-graduates,

and non-returnees will be mailed their yearbooks in August. Return- ing cadets will receive their books upon return in the fall.

SIPA Exec Addresses SMA's Journalists

SMA's Annual Publications Ban- quet, held Sunday, May 16, at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel, had Mr. John K. Jennings, a professor of Journalism at Washington and Lee University and Executive Director of the Southern Interscholastic Press Association as guest speaker.

Mr. Jennings spoke of the changes that the improvements in communications have made in the lives of journalists. These changes have brought about specialists in all areas of life, and journalism is no exception. The specialist in journalism can help others under- stand these changes in our world.

He cited two good examples of improvements in communications. One is the Mariner II, which sent radio signals 65 million miles from a 54 inch aerial. The spacecraft, itself, was four feet in diameter and operated on three and a half watts of power. The other is the Early Bird, first used on May 17, 1965. It relayed the first live color television broadcast from the United Kingdom to the United

States. Another point Mr. Jennings made

was that all the problems which face the world today could con- ceivably be solved by a better understanding of other peoples and their cultures. This is an import- ant thing which a journalist can

do. Prior to Mr. Jennings' talk, Lt.

C. T. Biggerstaff, faculty advisor to the Scimitar, presented cash awards for prose and poetry. First place in prose went to Lee de- Vault, while first in poetry went to Joel Schuman. Andy Loree won second place in prose, and Randy Doffermyre "followed suit" for

poetry.

The colorful exercises marking the Academy's one hundred fifth session will begin Friday, May 28, and con- tinue through the afternoon of Sunday, May 30, when the actual graduation ceremony will take place. Graduation week- end will officially begin with the JJlatoon Drill Competition Friday morning at 10:00 a.m. Company Drill Competition is at 1:30 p.m. The Sponsors' Parade is at 5 :00 p.m., followed by Tea. The day will close with the Final Ball at 9:00 p.m. featuring "Sheets" Morris and his Band.

Festivities will resume Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. when the returning alumni are to be honored by a review on Kable Field. Climaxing the morning activities will be exhi- bitions by the Junior School Drill Team and the Howie Rifles. Corps rifle exercises follow.

In the afternoon a 3:00 p.m. garden party will honor the Grad- uating Class, patrons, alumni, and guests. Visitors will have an op- portunity-to meet and to chat with members of the graduation class and the faculty.

At 4:45 p.m. a Review and Grad- uation Parade will honor members of the graduating class. Satur- day's program will close with an informal dance beginning at 9:00 p.m. and held in Memorial Hall Gymnasium.

Baccalaureate Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Sunday at Trinity Episcopal Church. The Reverend E. Guthrie Brown, Rec- tor of Trinity Church, will conduct the service. Following the service, a buffett luncheon for the corps, patrons, alumni, and guests will be

Assessment —And Goodbye! This school year has held many pleasures and many

disappointments for all of us. We all may not have re- ceived what we worked for or strived for, but we must not lose heart. Attainment is a personal thing. What one per- son considers an achievement is an intangible to another person.

For those Seniors who are graduating and to those undergraduates who will not return next year, the Kable- gram wishes you all the luck in the world. It is hoped that even though many of you did not like SMA you will have many fine memories and perhaps in time you will realize that your stay at SMA was productive and rather enjoyable.

To those who plan to return next year we ask you to strive for a better school.

To all we wish to say that we, the staff, have enjoyed working on the paper and hope that you have enjoyed it and the services it has rendered to the school.

JR

For 1965-66 To those undergraduates who plan to return next fall,

to you we offer an open challenge: To make ourselves and this school a little better in the coming years. It is not an easy task, as has been evident this year.

AVe can be full of hopes and intentions, but hope and intention never accomplished anything. Over the summer stop and think of plans for yourself and SMA. When you return, try to put them into effect and thus we shall suc- ceed !

At the Senior Luncheon, held Sunday, May 23, six cadets re- ceived the school's Stevens Award. Also for the second time since the award was established in 1956, the award was presented to three mem- bers of the faculty.

The receipients of this year's award are Harold A. Dietler, Alan Fejes, Samuel Grannett, Martin Grostick, Frank McCue, Thomas Newbolt.

Faculty members honored are Col. Warren W. Brown, Col. Philip Enslow, and Maj. William C. Moon.

The Stevens Award was inaugu- rated in 1956 by that year's Shrapnel staff to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Staunton annual.

Named for Captain L. Leary Stevens, editor of the first year- book in 1906, and for many years a teacher of English at the Acad- emy, the award recognizes those cadets and now faculty members who have made outstanding achievement in scholarship, citizen- ship, athletics, military activities, and school organizations.

Headmaster's Notes

Juniors should give serious thought this summer (if they have not already) to their choice of college and to their vocation- al interests. Juniors should re- duce the number of colleges to which they will apply, matching their qualifications against the requirements of the college.

If at all possible, Juniors should have an interview with a college admissions officer, pre- ferably at a school they are in- terested in attending.

The summer reading lists will be mailed home with the final reports. The books selected are for enjoyment and enrichment. Extra credit may be earned next year by book reports and tests. Each cadet will be asked to turn in a statement naming the books he has read.

May College Board scores will be received around the middle of June. Cadets who wish the results of this test prior to next session must write the Head- master's Office and request the scores be mailed to them.

All cadets who plan to take summer school work must in- form the Headmaster's Office of their plans: school, subjects, periods and time of study. Re- member, an SMA examination on the subject must be passed before credit will be given.

'May everyone have a pleasant summer.

A Message From The PMS To the 1965 Graduating Class

we oiler our best wishes and hopes for your success in the coming years. Set forth below are a few military virtues. I ask that you live by these fun- damentals as you enter into adult life and assume the re- sponsibilities of citizenship.

*"1. A man has honor if he holds himself to a course of conduct, because of a conviction that it is in the general interest, even though he is well aware that il may lead to inconveni- ence, personal loss, humiliation or grave physical risk.

"2. lie has veracity if, having studied a question to the limit of his ability, he says and be- lieves what he thinks to be true, even though it would be the path of least resistance to de- ceive others and himself.

"3. He has justice if he ac- knowledges the interest of all concerned in any particular transaction rather than serving his own apparent interest.

"4. He has graciousness if he acts and speaks forthrightly, agrees warmly, disagrees fairly and respectfully, participates en- thusiastically, refrains from har- boring grudges, takes his re- verses in stride, and does not complain or ask for help in the face of trifling calamities.

"5. He has integrity if his in- terest in the good of the service is at all times greater than his personal pride; and when he holds himself to the same line of duty when unobserved as he would follow if all of his su- periors were present."

To the undergraduates, a most enjoyable vacation. May the above virtues be your guide establish your standards in the coming semester at Staunton

Cadet Jarvis, from Ocean City, Maryknd, has been at SMA for five years and a member of the Scimitar staff for three years.

Lester Pittman, from Shaw Air

Force Base in South Carolina, has been at Staunton for only two years.

Both feel that next year's Scimi- tar will excell all past issues, and possibly win a prize at SIPA.

Much help will be needed for the Scimitar next year. If anyone has writing talent, he should notify Cadet Lang.

Visitor Talks On Viet Nam

On Friday afternoon, the 21st, the military "time slot" was filled by an assembly on Viet Nam, pre- sented by Maj. Horwedel of Wash- ington and Lee University. Maj. Horwedel was stationed in Viet Nam, from April, 1962, to April, 1963.

The talk, which was accompanied by pictures taken by Maj. Horwe- del during his tour of duty in Viet Nam, gave the corps a little bit of insight into the Viet Namese peo- ple and their life in Viet Nam. His slides indicated what the U.S. serviceman in this troubled coun- try experiences there.

The war in Viet Nam is a war poorly understood by a nation on the other side of the globe. Maj. Horwedel acquainted the corps with the little known or under- stood people alongside of whom we fight. One now sees the Viet- namese, not so much as foreigners, but as a nation fighting for its freedom against a brutal campaign of terror and armed attack in- spired, directed, supplied, and con- trolled by the Communist regime in Hanoi. The flagrant aggression has been going on for years, but recently the pace has quickened and the threat has become acute.

Comments From The

Commandant To all graduates may I offer

my sincere hopes for successful college work next year. We have had our "ups and downs," but above all, I hope you have obtained a better sense of values that will stay with you the rest of your life.

To all undergraduates may I hold out a promise that many changes and improvements in the functioning of the corps will take place upon your return. Greater emphasis will be placed upon the development of pride, as well as upon the motto of Staunton Military Academy — Truth, Honor, Duty.

With your cooperation we can look forward to the best corps in SMA's long history.

I wish you all a restful, re- laxed, and happy vacation and look forward to your returning with renewed vigor in the fall.

by Mike Somers Right out of Ian Flemming's

Thunderball comes paradiving. The sport itself is found right in the name. The word "para" (short for parachuting) put in front of "div- ing" (for Scuba) equals a thrill- packed, adventurous sport.

Imagine yourself high above the clouds ready to dive into the sea below—then go below the sea it- self. The sport originated in the Navy in Underwater Demolition training courses. It has, as one can see, many practical uses in war time.

As for the sport, parachutist- diver, its uses are limited. Un- charted wrecks often can be found from the air. These are seen as hull-shaped shadows in the water. Often the reason the wreck has never been charted by sea craft is that it is located in inaccessable waters.

But for the paradiver no sea is inaccessable. He simply sights the location, has his pilot drop him out nearby, and floats down to the adventure of a never-explored wreck.

The dangers involved are always

great. Ihe greatest, however, is not the skydive itself or the trip under the water. It is the safe exit from the plane and the re- turn to shore. Great difficulties may arise as one attempts to leave the plane in full "armor."

This is due to the large amount of equipment one must have with him. A set of tanks, regulator, weights, mask, fins, wet suit, and two parachutes is quite a load for any man to carry — much less through the air.

The safe return to shore is taken care of by a small, 2-man, inflatable raft. A two man raft is used because of the weight of the wet parachute, and tanks that must also make the trip. High surf and rocks often make the shore entry the most difficult task.

Paradiving is a sport where training is simply one thing — mandatory. Whether it be with a static line or a free fall, one must remember the weight problem is going to be the greatest.

It is a new sport which leaves plenty of room for experimenta- tion, but only in a safe, supervised manner.

Col. Moody To Retire

This year's Senior luncheon marked the passing of a tradition dear to the heart of many SMA students and alumni. Colonel Reu- ben E. Moody has announced his retirement after 47 years of faith- ful service to SMA. He has been a member of the Alathematics De- partment since 1918.

He received a standing ovation from the cadets and faculty present when his impending retirement was announced. His only comment was, "How sweet it is."

He does not have any definite plans for the future. He says he just intends to rest and would be happy to substitute if he is needed.

SMA Has 64 Season In Military League Race

On April 21, SMA's baseball team played Fork Union Military Academy. Jay Paldin, hurling for SMA, fanned 11 and walked 3, as SMA shut out FUMA 1-0. Tom Taylor was the outstanding player, scoring the winning run.

The U. of Va. Frosh team came to SMA April 24 only to add two losses to their standing, as SMA swept both games of the double- header: 2-1, 3-2. Pitching for SMA were Goodloe and Ward, who were credited with the wins. Hitters Muncy, Sheaffer, Newhard and Taylor rendered support as they hit consistently, driving in the winning runs.

The following weekend AMA came to SMA, only to be defeated 6-2. Muncy, who homered in the 5 th, and Bane, who banged out two singles, drove in the winning runs.

On May 1 Staunton went to Chatham to meet Hargrave Mili- tary Academy. Peterson, Muncy, and Taylor hit home runs to gain a seven run lead in the 6th inning. In the 7th SMA blew their lead, and HMA was credited with a win. The score: 10-9!

On May 3 Jim Goodloe threw a three hitter against AMA, but to

no avail: SMA was defeated 1-0. Peterson's 6th inning double and

Muncy's 7th inning single earned SMA's second victory over FUMA. Paldin, SMA's winning pitcher, re- tired 11 and walked 1.

SMA's pitcher, Goodloe, accom- panied by hitters Smith, Teufel, and McClellan went all the way to defeat MMA 5-3.

Flatford, who relieved Dodge in the third inning, was credited with a win over Randolph-Macon Acad- emy in an 8-2 victory for SMA. Sheaffer, Peterson, McClellan, and Teufel were the supporting hitters for SMA.

In the last game of the season, Muncy of SMA hit home runs in the second and sixth innings to account for SMA's 4 runs against Hargrave Military Academy. Sheaf- fer singled in the sixth inning, but the score remained unchanged as SMA was finally defeated in a 6-4 victory for HMA.

SMA's seasonal record is 10 wins and 5 losses while the Mili- tary League record is 6 wins and 4 losses.

Netmen Hold 7-8 Record

The tennis team ended its sea- son last week with an overall rec- ord of 7 wins and 8 losses. Mili- tarily, the team won 6 and lost 4.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, SMA lost the tennis title to Hargrave Military Academy. Har- grave had a well-molded team and the SMA netmen fell victim to their skill in two matches, one home and one away. The most re- cent loss to Hargrave was in a home match by a score of 7-0.

Three consecutive wins put the team in good spirits at the begin- ning of the month. Augusta Mili- tary Academy, Fork Union, and Massanutten all went down to de- feat. AMA was blanked by SMA excellent playing; final score, 7-0.

Randolph-Macon Academy snap- ped the three game winning streak on the SMA courts. The final score was 6-1 in favor of RMA. This defeat was followed by the loss to Hargrave in the team's final match.

Victor Peck had the best win- ning average of the team. Overall, he won 11 matches and lost only 4. His league standing is 8 wins, 2 losses.

Golfers Win VMSL Trophy

SMA's golf team finished up the season with two outstanding vic- tories, over Lee High school on May 7 and over Augusta Military Academy on May 10.

Against Lee High, SMA out- drove and underputted the Leemen to take the match 81/2-O. The ac- tion took place out in Gypsy Hdl Park. For the second time this year five of the Academy's golfers shot under 80. Ralph Lang was the low scorer for the match with a 71. Bill Davis and Lee Smith followed up with 76's, Chuck Coble and Randy Doffermyre both shot

78. Three 79's, by Lang, Smith, and

Brown, with Bill Davis' score of 73, contributed to the last league win of the year over Augusta Mili- tary Academy. The final score was SMA 14—AMA 4.

Three days after the AMA match the Hilltoppers traveled to Lewis- burg, West Virginia, to participate in the VMSL tournament. Due to Col. Selander's absence, Col. Peter Venable took over the team for the day. SMA walked away with the win and the trophy by three strokes. Ralph Lang had the low- score for the team and the second low score for the match. He shot a 75. Lee Smith sbot a 79 and Chuck Coble shot an 80. Hargrave Military Academy, placing second, was the only school to threaten the SMA win.

Col. Selander proudly presented the golf trophy to Col. Harrison S. Dey at the athletic awards assem- bly on Friday, May 21. The team need only win the trophy one more year to retire it permanently to the mess hall trophy case.
