BRILLIANT FORMAL INTRODUCES S.M.A. MIDWINTER DANCES

The Decorations are Features

of Dance in the Gym

Last Night

With Weidemeyer's orchestra jazzing out their merriest tunes, the Washing- ton's B'irthday Dances opened last night with the Formal Dance in the New Gym. This evening the Informal will be held, with the school orchestra furnishing the music, and promises for a most successful evening are made.

The Formal began at nine thirty with ■Col. and Mrs. Thomas H. Russell, and Mrs. I. W. Lytell receiving the guests. There were twelve card dances, with four extras. An Intermission was held at mid-night when the dancers had sand- wiches and coffee. Punch was served throughout the evening.

The orchestra lived up to their repu- ;ation. Weidemeyer's have made filen- ame a synonym for really worth while

music, and their efforts last night were | received with more than generous applause.

It was a glittering and joyous crowd, with all the colors of the rainbows represented in the beautiful dresses of town girls, of those from Stuart Hall, and Sweetbriar College, and of out of town girls. The uniform gray, with red sash and white belting, made an effective back- ground. The decorations were in keep- ing with the season, while a drawing of Grant and Lee shaking hands made a striking appearance at the front of the hall. Red, white and blue bunting had

; been used for trimming the windows and I doorways, while two machine guns be- I side the orchestra added the final mili-

tary touch.

PSH£ CORPS INVITED TO WINCHESTER AGAIN

Chamber of Commerce Wants

SK The Cadets to Camp Again at

Winchester During Festival

' Col. Thomas H. Russell has received an invitation for the corps to encamp again at Winchester during the 1927 Apple Blossom Festival. In letters from both the Chamber of Commerce of Win- chester and the Director General of the Apple Blossom Festival they say that it would be with the greatest pleasure that they would welcome the corps back to last years encampment.

To all indications, this is where the corps will encamp. Facilities last year were of the best, considering it was the first encampment there, and this year, with the experience, there is every hope of a most successful period.

The following is the letter from the Winchester Chamber of Commerce:

Col. T. H. Russell Staunton Military Academy Staunton, Virginia.

My dear Colonel Russell: We recall with a great deal of pleas-

ure the visit your entire school paid us last year on the occasion of the Apple Blossom Festival, and the purpose of

Basketball This Afternoon

At 1:30 p. m. today the Staunton netmen play their last home game of the season, when they take on the tossers from the Virginia Epis- copal School at Lynchburg. This is a State Championship game, and should we come through with flying colors, we are undefeated claimants of the State Championship.

V. E. S. has an impressive record to date, and will bring a squad full of fight and pep. It was this school that defeated us in football when we were still without a defeat, and the game this afternoon will furnish an opportunity either for that defeat to be avenged or another with as equally damaging results to be scored in the book. Lets get down to the gym and back that team.

RADIO PROGRAM AT RICHMOND TO BE "A DAY AT S.M.A."

Seventy-Five Cadets Will Take

Part in Program To Be

Broadcast Over

W R V A

"A Day at S. M. A." is to be the title of the program to be broadcast over Station WRVA of Richmond on Thursday evening, March 24, by the cadets of this school. It will be a general outline of the activities and happenings of a day, beginning with reveille, and ending with taps.

About seventy-five cadets will make the trip, leaving here at eight in the morning in four pullmans carried especially for the party from this Academy. They will arrive in Richmond about noon-time. A luncheon will be given them by the Chamber of Commerce. After this the cadets will be taken in busses on a sight tour of historic Rich- mond until four o'clock. At five thirty they will be the guests of the Rotary Club of Richmond at a dinner given in their honor on the roof garden of the Hotel Richmond. During dinner a pro- fessional entertainer will entertain them


APPOINTMENT TO WEST

POINT IS AWARDED TO

CADET MAJOR; TO TAKE

PHYSICAL EXAM. ONLY

To Cadet Major Richard B. Carhart has been awarded the West Point appointment for 1927 which is available for S. M. A. this year through her status as an Honor School. Word has been received from the War Department of the acceptance of the nomination made by Col. Thomas H. Russell and Major A. M. Patch of Cadet Carhart as principal, Cadet Taylor, W. as first alternate, and Cadet Wood, J. R. as second alternate.

Tomorrow these cadets leave for Washington to take the Physical examination, the only examination necessary due to this school being an Honor School. They have been ordered to report to the Army Medical Center at 9 a. m. Tuesday morning prepared to take the test.

Cadet Major Carhart is a five year man. He has been connected with practically every school activity; The Cotil- lion Club, The Honor Committee, The Blue and Gold, The Kablegram, and The Literary Society. In 1925 he was a member of the State Champion debating team of this school. His fine military work has brought him the well earned rank of Cadet Major.

Cadet Taylor, W., the first alternate, who will go only upon Carhart's inability to report to West Point in July, is a lieutenant in "C" company after but three years service. His military work should stand him in good stead should he enter the Academy.

Cadet Wood, J. R., also a three year man, is the second alternate. He is Editor in Chief of the Kablegram, a member of the 1926 Blue and Gold Staff and is a sergeant in "A" company.

The appointment is made possible by the recent law allowing certain Honor Schools an appointment each year. It is awarded to an Honor Graduate of the institution and exempts the holder from the mental examinations. The term "Honor Graduate" is defined by the


BATTALION CELEBRATES

WASHINGTON'S BIRTH

QUINT SEASON IS OVER TODAY; TEAM

HAS FINE RECORD

Enters Penn. Tournament on

Monday; Home Season Ends

With Fourteen Victories

And Four Defeats

Playing Monday in Philadelphia the basketball team will endeavor to show the north the basketball that has won fourteen games out of eighteen in Vir- ginia, and has beaten every Prep school team played. The home season is over, leaving a splendid record. Fishburne was defeated twice by the same score, 35-19, a fact in itself enough to make the season a success.

If Staunton wins the game this afternoon, their record of victories over state schools will be complete, and they will go to Philadelphia tomorrow with successful record. They will need, in the Penn. Interscholastic Tournament, some of the best teams of the north, and should they return with this feather in their cap, they may well be called the best team ever to carry the Blue and Gold standard.

The defeat of Fishburne on their home court by a score of 35-19 and the defeat of the V. M. I. Freshmen by 44- 28, were the two features of the past two weeks.

Fishburne was outplayed, The Blue and Gold so decisively defeated their age old rivals that no doubt was left in the minds of the spectators as to who had the better team. In the V. M. I. Freshmen game, it was an unbeatable combination which met the cadets from Lexington. Close guarding kept the visitors score low, while lightning pass work and good shooting roled up the Blue and Gold score.

BOXERS WIN, TIE AND LOSE TO DATE; CORPS TAKEN BY NEW SPORT

Staunton staged its first interscholastic boxing match in the old gym on Feb. 12. The match between S. M. A. and W. & L. Freshmen resulted in a tie, 3-3. A regulation ring was constructed and the boys went to it; How it ended follows: Russell, S. M. A Won decision Tortora, S. M. A Lost decision Brady, S. M. A Lost decision Seeley, S. M. A. .. Lost technical K. O. Todd, S. M. A Won decision Ehrig, S. M. A Won decision Letch, S. M. A Draw

Russell, S. M. A. decisively defeated his opponent and carried the fight all of the way.

Tortora swapped even punches with the W. & L. man for two rounds, but fought in the third round with a broken thumb. He lost on points.

The bout between Brady and his opponent was an interesting but uneven affair, the W. & L. lad having quite a few inches in reach over his opponent.

"Ed" Seeley lost by a technical K. O. (Continued on Page Two)

On Alarch 19th the annual gym meet will be held. This meet was won by "A" Co. last year with 89 points, "C" Co. second with 56 points, "D" Co. third with 54 points, and "B" Co. fourth with 13yi points. The following are the events that will be held:

Fence vault (over horizontal bar), rope climb, side horse, horizontal bar, parallel bars, flying rings, medicine ball race, tug of war, fencing. The school record in the fence vault is 6 feet 8s/2 inches, held by Warwick. The rope climb record is held by Dorset, 5 3-5 seconds.

First, second, and third place will count a certain number of points in each event. This also applies to boxing and wrestling.

The winning company in each inter- company sport is also given additional points on the various company rating sheets for honor company. At present "B" has a big lead over its competitors, as it has won the football championship and has practically cinched the basketball championship.

Beginning next week, the gym will be open each afternoon for the cadets !o practice the various events on the above program. Each company captain, if he has the best interest of his compar./ at heart, should get to work at once and have his men working daily, particularly on events like the tug of war and the medicine ball race.

Captain Taylor will start at once the

S. M. A. RULE0 TEAM ADDS

THREE NEW VICTORIES

In the past two weeks, the rifle team has won three matches, and fired their targets for, both the Hirsch Trophy Award, and the Third Corps Area Championship. They have defeated New York Military Academy, St. John's Military School at Manlius, and Clason Military Academy.

The targets for the Third Corps Area Championship have been fired, due to the fact that with the coming of spring, the team must drill with the rest of the battalion. For the Hirsh Trophy, the targets have been forwarded to be scored.

The scores of the matches were: S. M. A. 940, N. Y. M. A. 881. S. M. A. 1858, Manlius 1801. S. M. A. 1847, Clason M. A. 1719. The results of the match fired with

New Mexico Military Academy have not yet been received.

Battalion Has Unusual Hospital

Record For The Winter Months

The anniversary of George Washing- ton's birthday on Tuesday was observed by all the school. The Academic and Military Duties, except the required guard were omitted. The corps had leave on Monday evening from six- thirty until ten, and on Tuesday from nine-thirty until six. The regular schedule was resumed at retreat Tuesday.

To many of the cades the biggest part of the celebration was having reveille at eight-thirty. Immediately after reveille, many calendars were scan- ned to find the date of the next holiday— but holidays are few in number—so there will be a large majority of reveilles at seven a. m. hereafter.

BEVERLY BOOK STORE has Decii less sickness due to colas uiaii ever before during the winter months and consequently less time lost to studies. At the time of the first quarter examinations there was no one confined to the hospital who was unable to take the examinations at the regular time, and at the second quarter exams there were very few.

The number of throat infections has been very low, showing that the corps, as a whole, is using good judgment in wearing the proper amount of clothing and is taking the necessary precautions to keep their feet dry. It may be said that the general order stating that every cadet shall wear either a grey shirt and sweater or a fatigue coat at all times has had a great influence upon this record.

However, this is not the only part of the exceptional record. The conduct of anyone confined to the hospital or being treated, has been gentlemanly to say

the least. The practice of going to the hospital out of hours, especially during class hours, has been reduced to a re- markably low percentage, showing a greater courage to face duty than ever before recorded at the hospital. Cadets have shown more regard for all hospital rules and regulations than during any previous year.

Since the beginning of school in Sep- tember there has been only one case re- quiring quarentine and that a case of Chicken Pox which a cadet returning from the Christmas Furlough brought with him.

It is very gratifying to the Hospital Staff that the cadets are showing such splendid spirit in maintaining such a re- markable health record. February having been a very mild month, we prob- ably will have some wintry weather in store for March. So "Eternal vigilance being the price of safety," do not relax in regard to all common sense precautions and make an effort to keep the good record.

DEBATERS DEFEAT DEVITT PREP ON

AIRCRAFT QUESTION

Overwhelm Opponents Last

Night By Score of Seven

To One; Debate Was

At Washington

Washington, D. C, Feb. 26—-"Have won debate; score 7 to 1. Both sides had fine arguments."

Signed: "EVANS."

The above is the text of the telegram received this morning from the debating team which contested last night with the DeVitt Prep School debaters at Washington, D. C.

The score indicates an overwhelming victory for the S. M. A. boys. Capt. M. M. Brice, Coach of the Staunton debaters, expressed surprise that the margin of victory was so great, although he said he expected his team to win. The S. M. A. debaters have been doing a great deal of work in preparation for this debate and their fine victory shows the results of their hard efforts.

The debate was upon the question of air service. It was : "Resolved, that the United States should have a separate department for air service." The Blue and Gold upheld the negative side of the question.

There were three speakers on each team, with each man speaking ten minutes. In rebuttal, each man spoke for five minutes. The decision was given by the audience, a ballot being taken at the close of the debate. This is a departure from the usual method ,and is being tried out due to its great success in determining the winners of de- bases in England.

The three speakers for S. M. A. were Cadet R. C. Evans, Cadet K. C. Bateman and Cadet F. G. Koch. Cadet 4£NMSMI made the trip with the team as alternate.

These men debated the question negatively upon three separate points. They were that the creation of a new department is, first, unnecessary, sec- ondly, is unsound stragtically and eco- nomically, and thirdly, is wrong in prin- ciple. It is believed that the opponents were in favor of the establishment of a Department of National Defense, to be represented in the Cabinet, and to take the place of the Department of War and of the Navy, combining these with a department of Aircraft.

This team has been working for a great length of time preparing this question, and much of the credit for the work done is owed to the efforts of Capt. M. M. Brice, Professor of the Department of English, and Faculty ad- visor of the Woodrow Wilson Literary Society.

The debate was held in the Columbia Debating Hall of George Washington University. A good sized audience heard the debate.

STAUNTON SWIMMERS

HAVE WON 3 MEETS;

RELAY TEAM UNBEATEN

Adding two more victories to the one over The University of Virginia Fresh- man, the Blue and Gold Natators brought their total of wins up to three, without a defeat. The team has been making some fast times, and is among the best in the state at the present time.

The Relay team has yet to be defeated, and according to comparative times, could overcome many of the college varsity relayers.

An effort is being made to secure more meets, although there are very few schools with teams, in this vicinity.

The meets follow: The swimming team won their third

meet out of as many starts on Monday (Continued on Page Four) o

Corps Expresses Sympathies

To Cadet Major Carhart

The corps was very sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Augustus L. Carhart, of Philadelphia, on Feb. 14. Mr. Car- hart was the father of Cadet Major Richard Carhart, and had been in very good health until a short while before his death.

A wreath of flowers was given by the corps expressing their deep regret for Cadet Carhart and the members of his

..family in their bereavement.

"An Ounce of Prevention"

The age old proverb, 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," has been well proven in the last month here at S. M. A. Medical records at the hospital show that through January and February the number of Cadets given attention is far greater than in any other months. However, since the Christmas furlough, there have been fewer Cadets sick enough to need hospital attention than any time in the last seven years.

There have been two reasons for this—one provided by nature, and the other by a special order published on January ninth.

Mother nature has given the Cadets a great deal of warm weather, although it has been cold and disagreeable enough at times to remember that winter is still with us. The order stated that sweaters or fatigue blouses must be worn at all times, obviously in order to make sure that a Cadet did not leave his room unless he had enough on for his own protection. And mainly upon this does the good record lie, for this seemingly small thing of wearing a sweater has saved many Cadets health this winter.

DATE UNCERTAIN FOR CADET MINSTREL SHOW;

STAFF IS APPOINTED

The annual Cadet Show will be held this year at the New Theatre in April. The exact date has not been decided yet, as this depends on the date the Cotillion Club decides for the Easter Dances.

Major Beardsworth is in charge of the production this time as he has been in preceeding years. The staff which was picked by him last week is as follows : The sale of tickets, advertising and the program is taken care of by Emerson, who has as his assistant Brady. Emerson has held this position on the staff for three years with great success each time, besides being a member of the troupe for five years. Al- though this will be Brady's first year on the staff, it is felt that he is capable of filling this position. The business end will be handled by Miller F. M. This is his second year on the staff, besides being a member of the other shows in previous years. There is no doubt of what he can do in order to make this show one of the best that have been put on in this school. The Stage manager will be Ross, G. W. with Hall, E. M. as his assistant. For these two men it makes their first time on the staff. In spite of this fact, they will take care of their jobs to the best of their ability. The properties will be handled by Schriefer, C. C. He is also a new man on the staff, but is well fit for this position.

It has not been decided just what the show will be this year. Last year it was a frolic. Major Beardsworth is considering this part of it carefully before he makes any formal announcement. The "Blue and Gold Serenaders" and the Classical Orchestra will have their usual twenty minute acts. The Kableites from the Annex have also ap- plied for an act.

The price for admission this year will be the usual dollar. This gives the Cadets leave until eleven thirty, where otherwise they will have to go to Study Hall.

There will be a further announcement concerning the show in the next issus of the KABLEGRAM.

'B" INCREASES LEAD

IN BASKETBALL SERIES

SURE AT LEAST OF TIE

"Bf' copany is still heading the inter- company basketball league having won four games and lost none. They still

have two more games one to "D" company and one to "C" company. All teams are showing a good sign of company spirit, having as many men out for practice as they do for the games.

"A" and "D" companies are tied for second place each winning two games and losing two.

The individual games follow: "C"—"D," 27-23

On Tuesday Feb. IS, "C" and "D" companies met in a close game result- ing in a victory for "D" company by a score of 27-23. Both teams fought hard and it was difficult for those on the side lines to figure out just who had the best team. The close score shows that both teams were evenly matched.

At the end of the half the score was tied but by the end of the third quarter "D" company rolled up the score to a lead of two points. In the fourth quarter "D" company added two more points and managed to hold their four point lead through the rest of the game.

The high point men were Schriefer and Wurster for "D" and Delcher for

C" company. "A"—"B"

"B" company still remained undefeated after meeting "A" company on Feb. 17, taking them over in a victory of 21-19.

Townsend for "B" company was the outstanding player for his team, making the most points. Knox played a good game in his position as guard.

The game was close throughout all four quarters, neither team allowing the other to get very far ahead.

At the end of the half "B" company was winning and continued to stay on top until the game was over.

Wood and Schafer for "A" company played a very good game.

BANANA OIL By Dr. ?

(The Doctor has been sick and failed to get any Banana Oil made last week. We are hopeful of his recovery in time for the next issue of the paper.

—THE EDITOR).

The Annex Among the many buildings of the

School, there is that one which is called "The Annex." The building is painted an old rustic color, and is bound in front by a beautiful porch. On opening the front door, the eye is quickly trained to the interior, and one immediately notices how artistically the hallway is decorated. This is shown by the fact that there is an ash can in one corner, trunks in the other, cigarette butts, paper, etc., on the floor.

The house has four rooms and a bath, two rooms on the lower floor, and the rest upstairs. The oldness of the rooms can be readily seen, because of the an- tique furniture. In spite of the fact that numerous chairs, etc., are broken, much of the furniture has been preserved. On going up the beautiful stairway to the top floor, one must not put two feet on one step, nor lean on the bannister, as both have a .strong tendency to bend. The bath room is artistically finished in white, and a casual observer may notice a few cob-webs here and there.

The views, which are offered by several windows in the house, are extremely gratifying. On looking out from the rear window, which are somewhat dis- abled by constant use, one may be apt to gasp in astonishment, for within arm's reach there looms the math building. On gazing from the side windows, the eye quickly notes the beautiful shrubbery which borders the side of the building.

There is yet another part of the house which we have not yet explored, and that is the cellar. On going down the cellar stairs, one quickly notices the wonderful old carpet, which consists of about three inches of dust. There are three rooms in this part of the house, and all of them are nicely decorated with, from broken bottles to just about anything.

Hades, January 1, 2027 Dear Cy:

It seems quite a while since we part- ed—remember ? We both were standing on the gallows waiting to be hanged for robbing the one and only fast train on the B. & O. Railroad. My only regret is that we picked the worst of all rail- roads to rob.

Cy, I wish I had repented as you did— you went to heaven, while I went in the other direction. But really, old bean, I don't think an awful lot of St. Peter— not after he let you in.

Still, it is not so bad here. Plenty of fires. I enjoy looking at them when his Majesty hasn't got me roasting over the hot coals. It IS hell not to be able to exert my wonderful talent in putting them out—remember how I used to love that back in dear old S. M. A.

At times this place seems exactly like dear old Maryland; you'd be surprised at the many liknesses to Maryland that are here, noises, dirt and morals especially.

Be good and drop a line soon to the above address.

Very Warmly, FRITZ.

P. S. Smuggle in some ice-water if you can.

THE TAMING OF "BIG BAD BILL"

There is a boy in "C" Co. A non com in that Co. Who in days gone by I will relate, Has hunted or fished in every state For rabbit, possom, coon or deer Not an animal ran that he did fear, When ere there was a fishing match You could bet he would get his catch Being a sport in every way He could sing, dance and the Banjo play Telling his stories all the day They were very interesting I would say To watch him dance or sing was a

thrill And he was known as "Big Bad Bill,"

t

So quickly did this Kaydet change At first one knew not whom to blame Being so quiet not a soul knew Just what made our Bill so blue His stories he would tell no more Or dance the jig as in days before The cat came out of the bag at last And now we know that Bill fell fast For a little brunette at M. B. S. To identify him, you can now guess His hunting clothes that were his pals Have been thrown away for a little gal As a sport he was a WOW But "Big Bad Bill" is "Sweet William"

now.

Clothes make the man; lack of them the woman.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

A new method of bringing to the attention of the cadets those things which they should refrain from has been in- troduced by the Cadet Y. M. C. A. The arrangement is in the form of a blotter which will be published the first of every month containing a few lines of verse or poetry.

The idea was tried out in one or two other military schools last year and proved to be very successful. This was brought before the Y. staff of this institution for consideration, and was adopted. The first blotter was to instill clean sportsmanship among the cadets and was published at a time when it could do a great deal of good. The date of publication was February first. The following is the inscription it bore:

"When the game is on and your friends about,

And you could put your rival out By a trick thats mean, but wouldn't be

seen Come Clean, My Lad, Come Clean."

"For when the one great scorer comes To write against your name He writes not that you won or lost— But how you played the game."

Besides the above verse the blotter contained a list of the interesting dates for the month and also a small calendar. The expense of the publication was do-

training of the company boxing teams. Each company will be represented by a complete team with a man in each class up to and including the light heavy- weight division. The weight limit of the various classes are as follows: 119 pounds, 129 pounds, 139 pounds, 149 pounds, 164 pounds, and 175 pounds. The company teams will be paired off against each other. The winners in each bout between one pair of companies will tight the winners of the bouts of the other pair in the finals on March 19th. Each man who wins his bout in the finals will be declared the school champion in his class. These final bouts will be staged in the old gym in the same manner as the varsity meets.

The following men have been awarded letters in boxing: Russell, Tortora, Todd, Ehrig, Letsch, and Kohout. These men will not be eligible for the school championships in boxing.

If enough interest is shown in wrestling, the same procedure will be followed in that sport as in boxing.

Emmanuel Squad is Guest

of Church Guild at Party

The members of the Emmanuel Church squad were the guests of the Guild of Emmanuel Church at an informal entertainment on last Friday evening in the Sunday School room of the church. The Stuart Hall Choir was also present, and to all appearances, their presence added much to the gathering for a certain group of cadets.

The school orchestra played several pieces, which were well received. The tenor voice of John Bell merited the hearty applause which was given. Re- freshments of ice cream, cake and candy were served about nine o'clock, and the guests left soon afterwards. The cadets were given ten thirty leave, and many took advantage of this to attend the second show at the theatres in town.

this letter is to convey to you and your school a most cordial invitation to attend our 1927 Apple Blossom Festival the same as you did in 1926.

This invitation not only carries the expressed wish of the President and Board of Directors of the Winchester Chamber of Commerce, but the combin- ed wishes of the citizens of Winchester who are grateful for the honor paid us in 1926, and we anticipate with pleasure that same honor being conferred upon us again.

The deportment of your entire company was excellent. As a matter of tact, was all that could be expected, and they aquitted themselves in a manner that was complimentary to them indi- vidually as well as to the school.

You can rest assured we stand ready and willing to do all within our power for the comfort and convenience of your school should we again be favored with your presence.

Awaiting your decision in the matter, and anticipating with pleasure your coming, with best wishes,

Very truly yours, WINCHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

Secretary.

and a program will be given for their benefit. This dinner is expected to be one of the features of the trip for the cadets. After dinner they will go to Station WRVA to broadcast their program.

During the program each activity will be explained as it happens. First call on the bugle will open the program, followed by the bugle and drum corps playing reveille march, reveille, and fall in. The Cadet Major will give all his necessary commands and companys will be dismissed. Mess call will then be blown, and it will be explained that at the end of the meal Captain Thomas, the school chaplain, gives a short chapel talk. An illustrative talk will be given over the air.

The program will then follow the usual Monday schedule, with the corps being marched to "the gymnasium. It will be explained hat while the corps is being marched in the classical orchestra plays several pieces. These will be broadcast. At this time Col. T. H. Russell and Major Roy W. Wonson will give a short talk. School call will then be blown and the arrangements ot classes told to the audience.

When school is over the bugle call will be blown, and following this the call for guard mount. At this time the band will play the usual pieces such as are played at a formal guard mounting on the Hill. The ceremony of Retreat will follow this, at which time all commands of the Cadet Major will be given, a list of delinquencies, serious and comi-

cal, will be read out, and the band will play the Star Spangled Banner and the usual marches.

The invisible audience will be told how the cadets go to study hall after supper. It will be supposed that on this night a "Stunt Night" will be held, and the corps will be inarched to the gym again. At this time will come the sing- ing by the glee club, by*a faculty quartet, and by several groups accompanied by either banjo or uke. There will be several features, a monologue, and violin solos and duets. The classical orchestra and the band will give several selec- tions and the program of Stunt Night will be brought to a close by a concert of the Jazz Orchestra.

Tattoo will then be blown and it will be told how the corps prepares for the coming day. Taps by the bugle corps will bring the program to a close.

Cadets will then go the train which will depart about mid-night, arriving in Staunton the following morning. o Quint Season

(Continued from page 1)

Of the four defeats, two were at the hands of the same team. The W. & L. freshmen had the jinx on the Blue and Gold squad, carrying them under in both of the contests. The Freshman cadets of V. M. I. showed their heels on last Wednesday, in the second game, the Blue and Gold took ample revenge, rolling up a score of 44-28, and ont- playmg their opponents in every department of the game. The fourth defeat was by a few points, and was adminis- tered by Western Hi, of Washington, D. C. The game was hard fought and it was not until the whistle blew the game was won.

With this record behind them, the team goes into battle in the Perm In- terscholastic Tournament at Philadel- phia Monday. "Coop" French has been high point throughout the season, and the mainstay ot the team. "Chuck' Wise has been equally as much a factor, being an important cog in the defense as well as a leading point scorer. "Barney" Scofield, the Capt., is playing the best game of his career at the present time, and can well be counted on to make it exceedingly unpleasant for the opposing centers in Philadelphia. "Yutz" Diedrich has won his forward position by good work. He ably demon- strated his ability in the last Fishburne game when he was not only high point man, but also played as good a defens- ive game as anyone on the team. And too much can not be said about Junge, playing the other guard position. He has broken up more passes of the opponents than anyone else, and has back- ed up the offense play well. The team which starts in Philadelphia has also a strong bench of substitutes.

The 1927 Basketball team made a record of which they may wel be proud.

ACTIVITIES OF THE LITERARY SOCIETIES

The Woodrow Wilson Literary So- ciety held its regular meeting last Satur- day night.

The roll was called, followed by the minutes of the last meeting. The program was given by the members of the defeating team who have gone to Wash- ington. Cadets Evans, Bateman, K. and Koch, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd speakers re- spectively, gave their speeches before the society. They were well written and well delivered. Capt. Brice announced that Klorfein would be the alternate to accompany them on the trip. There being no further business the meeting was brought to a close.

FAMOUS EXCUSES "I know, but—" "I lent my book to—" "I studied the wrong lesson—" "I don't understand the question—" "I was on duty yesterday—" "Somebody stole my book—" "That was as far as I studied—" "I didn't feel well last night—" "I didn't hear the question—" "I know it, but I can't remember—" "That page is out of my book." "I studed the next chapter."
