Seventy-Third Year Of Academy's Life

Begins Tomorrow

Cadets Have Been Registering Since Early Wednesday

Morning

CLASS WORK SCHEDULED TO BEGIN ON MONDAY

Today marks the seventy-third open- ing of Staunton Military Academy. The 1932-1933 roster contains cadets from twenty-nine states and seven foreign countries. Three boys hail from China, two from Cuba, and one each from Mexico, Alaska, Central America, South America and Porto Rico. Since yester- day morning cadets have been registering and going through the processes of be- ing classified into the proper courses of study, assigned to rooms and companies, and fitted out with uniforms.

When a cadet arrives he goes to the president's office where he is given a registration card if he is properly en- rolled. From there he goes to the headmaster's office and is assigned his courses of study. Then he goes to the commandant's office where he finds out what military company he will be in, and in what barracks and room he will live.

One of the biggest jobs at the open- ing of school is to fit out each cadet with the proper uniform. As soon as he has been assigned to his room the cadet goes to the Quartermaster's de- partment and gets his shirts, blouse, trousers, and cap, at which time meas- urements are made for his overcoat and dress uniform. This work is clone by the Post Quartermaster, with the as- sistance of several cadets and tailors.

During these first few days the Head- master and Post Adjutant are working overtime arranging the academic sched- ule in preparation for the first day of school which will probably be next Sat- urday. This work is done by the above named officers, together with the heads of the departments and other members of the faculty. This task is much the greater because of the fact that each cadet is classified according to first, sec- ond, third, or fourth year work. By Monday morning the entire corps will be going to school, having all their books and equipment, and class work will be going on as if it were the middle of the year instead of the be- ginning.

Cadet Handbook is Not Published This Year

Due to lack of sufficient funds the cadet Y. M. C. A. was unable to publish the handbook for cadets this session. For this reason this first issue of THE {CABLEGRAM is printing several stories that were prepared for the 1932-1933 bankbook, for the general information of new cadets.

Capt. Wm. C. Louisell is Assistant P. M. S. and T.

Li

Capt. William C. Louisell, Infantry U. S. A. is the new Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Cap- tain Louisell is a native of Atobile, Ala., and a graduate of Auburn, where he was was a letter man in football, base- ball, and basketball. He entered the army in 1917 as a second lieutenant and served in France eighteen months dur- ing the World War. After the war he attended the Infantry School at Colum- bus, Ga. From there he went to the University of Michigan as Assistant P. M. S. and T., where he served for six years. From Michigan Capt. Louisell was assigned to duty at Fort Washing- ton, Md, and was there two and a half years. His most recent service was with the Gold Star Mothers and Wid- ows on their expedition to France.

Captain and Mrs. Louisell, with their young son, live in the quarters recently occupied by Lieutenant and Mrs. Smyth.

The Blue and Gold football squad will hold their initial practice of the season this afternoon. This group will be composed of about thirty players from last year's varsity and company teams. By the end of the week addi- tional candidates should increase the squad to sixty men.

Capt. Frank L. Summers, head coach, will handle the line, with Lieut. Tom Howie in charge of the back field.

The letter men who have returned are Capt. Rodney Bell, end; Bus Male,

Greetings From the Head Coach

All new cadets are urged to come out for the various teams. In the eyes of the coach you are looked upon as varsity material. This is illustrated by the fact that at least one-third of the letter men in school each year are new cadets.

It has always been the policy of the coach to encourage the new boys to come out for the teams. If they don't make good at first, there is always a possibility of developing them for the following season.

The athletic field and the gym are two places where the fact that you are a "rat" is forgotten. There arc no discriminations made on any ath- letic squad in school.

You may rest assured that if you come out for a team you will re- ceive a square deal. Our motto is: "The best man for the job gets it."

back; Ed Zelonis, back; Fred Cramer, tackle; Charlie Fay, end; De Muth center; Joe Sypherd, guard; Barbee, back; and Kenney, back. Some of the outstanding players from the company teams are Reid Thomas, Dick Morse, Donald Klepper, Del Prete, Frisch, and a number of others. Rats are also ex- pected to turn out, some of whom will probably develop into good material.

The first few clays of practice will be devoted to conditioning exercises and football fundamentals. Thereafter more strenuous work will be taken up along with the fundamentals such as block- ing, tackling, passing, and kicking. The basic formation will be similar to the Warner or double-wing back system. Practices will have to lie speeded up due to the fact that the first game of the season is on September the twenty- fourth.

(Continued on Page Three) o

Company Football Squads Will Report Next Week

Reorganization of the disciplinary system at S. M. A. is one of the most radical changes that has taken place here since last session. The new scheme may be briefly outlined as follows:

(1) Combination of the command- ant's office with that of the Military department, and making the Professor of Military Science and Tactics, Com- mandant of Cadets.

(2) Relief of cadets from responsi- bility and control of interior discipline, and transfer of such responsibility to all members of the faculty.

(3) Reduction of the personnel of the cadet guard to four men, the officer of the day, the sergeant of the guard, and two orderlies.

Under the new arrangement the cadet guard will be relieved of enforcing dis- cipline, and his duty placed in the hands of the faculty. The rooms of the bar- racks have been grouped into divisions over which members of the faculty will have control, and be responsible to the commandant for discipline in their di- vision. Details of the workings of the new system will be explained at the proper time by the commandant. o ■

Enlargement of Faculty Quarters is Major Result of

Summer Building Program

During the past summer months many improvements and changes were made about the "Hill."

Perhaps the most noticeable of these innovations to those familiar with S. M. A. is the new stairway leading from the upper asphalt to the old gym and Kable Hall. It replaces the two stair- ways which formerly connected the mentioned places with the upper as- phalt, and adds to the appearance of the northern section of the academy. An- other important change was the enlarge- ment of faculty quarters, which now consist of a bedroom, bath, and recep- tion room.

Among other improvements are the following: The excavation under Kable Hall was floored for the purpose of making room for storage; the grounds in front of Memorial and Kable Halls were terraced and sowed with grass seed; concrete floors were replaced in shower rooms over the plumbers shop; a hot water heater was installed for the Laundry; the return line from heating- equipment in South Barracks was re- placed, due to several breakages in the line; and the boiler plants were repaired.

General Order Number 1 Interprets Honor System

Puzzling Question Has Been "When Should a Cadet

Report Another?"

Below is the interpretation of the Honor System at S. M. A., as will be published in General Order Number 1 :

"The main question that puzzles here at S. M. A. seems to be—When am 1 as an individual pledged to report anoth- er cadet?

"When it comes to the question of someone else breaking ordinary regu- lations you as an individual have no re- sponsibility in the matter unless your position is such that you are required to make an official report to a member of

Academic Schedule Undergoes Radical

Changes for 1932-33

School Will Begin at 8:15 a. m. and Run Hour Periods

Until 1:15 p. m.

Company football practice will begin on September the twenty-sixth, with three teams in the fields, representing each of the rifle companies. Lieutenants Bodie, Cooksey, and Gould will be in charge of the coaching.

After about two weeks of practice the teams will begin to compete for the silver loving cup that is annually award- ed to the winning combination. This cup has been in competition since 1920. The winning team will also be awarded their numerals, and in addition will play games with teams from other schools.

If the past can be taken as a criterion, some rough battles will be staged on the athletic field on the Mondays and Fridays when the games are played. Past experience also shows that a num- ber of men have been promoted to the varsity squad, and a few have even made their letters after having started the season on a company team.

The schedule of the company games will be published at a later date.

Honor Code

1. As a member of die guard I will perform 1113' respective duties Faithfully, Honestly, Truthfully, and Impartially.

2. I will assist all members of the guard in carrying out their respective duties.

3. All written work submitted to the authorities of this institution by me, whether tests, examinations, or oral explanations, will be on honor.

the faculty or anyone superior in rank to yourself including company officers and non-commissioned officers, and members of the Guard. Written work handed in, or verbal statements made to members of the faculty; reports of lates and absentees in squads, platoons, sections, companies, guard details, sub- division inspections, or any other unit from which such report is required; all such reports, whether written or verbal, are given ON HONOR.

"But when it comes to a question of someone else committing a breach ol honor, such as submitting a false re- port of the sort listed above, or com- mitting any more serious offense as stealing, forging, etc., you are on your honor to notify the Honor Committee, for it is only by such notification that the Honor System can be made a suc- cess. The best guide in this matter is your own common sense and conscience.

Now when it comes to going on duty as a member of the Guard you assume an added responsibility in the matter of enforcing regulations, as well as the Honor System. The responsibility in regard to regulations, increases with your rank as a member of the Guard. Officers and non-commissioned of the Guard will have no trouble in deciding their responsibility if they know their

LUNCH HOUR TO COME AFTER SCHOOL CLOSES

Announcement was made yesterday by the headmaster, of the most radical change in the academic schedule *hat has taken place here in many years. School will begin at 8:15 in the morn- ing and run five 60 minute periods, closing at 1:15 p. m. This is a bitr change from beginning at 8:45, running six 45 minute periods with a luncheon hour included, and closing at 2:30 p. ni.

The new schedule meets with enthus- iastic approval from the instructors, and no doubt it will be welcomed by the students when they become accustomed to the change. The plan will enable a student to do the majority of his study- ing under the supervision and guidance of his instructor and during the reg- ular school period. It will do away with regular formal "make-up" classes in the afternoons, and should decrease the attendance in night study hall by a large per cent.

Under the new scheme, classes in Military Science will not be held during the regular school periods, but will come during the drill hours. The sched- ule for these classes has not been an- nounced as yet.

Chemistry and Physics, which have heretofore had 90 minute periods, will continue to have the same length of time. Details as to how the schedule has been worked out were not available when this was written.

Maj. A. M. Patch Returns As P. M. S. and T. and

Commandant of Cadets

Major Alexander M. Patch, Infantry U. S. A., is now Professor of Military Science and Tactics, having relieved Major H. L. Taylor, who was here for the past four years. Also, in connection with his duties as P. M. S. and T., Major Patch is commandant of cadets, these two offices having been combined during the summer.

Major Patch has twice before been head of the military department here, and was at one time assistant P. M. S. and T. under Col. John Conklin. He came to the academy first in 1920 as Captain Patch, and was assistant P. M. S. and T. one year. During that year he received his majority, and the next year was made Professor of Military Science and Tactics, relieveing Colonel Conklin. In 1924 he was relieved of duty here and sent to Fort Leavenworth as a student in the Command and Staff School, where he remained one year. In the fall of 1925 he was again detailed as P. M. S. and T. at S. M. A., where he remained until 1928, being relieved by Major H. L. Taylor.

Major Patch was assigned to duty with troops, and put in command of Fort Washington, Md., when he left here in 1928. For the past year he has

Military Life in the Academy is Outlined for Benefit of Recruits

Close and Extended Order Drills, Field Problems, Military Science Classes, Machine Gun and Rifle Study Form

Part of the Regulated Schedule

Every young man has at some time desired to wear a uniform, to drill in an organized unit, to participate in a pa- rade, or to lend his efforts in some way to the defense of his country. For this reason the military phase of the cadets' life at S. M. A. is considered by many of the "old boys" to be the most interesting part of the daily program. The work as outlined by our army instructors gives the recruit many new assets that he has never known before. He soon begins to realize the marvelous advantages of this most excellent training, and at the end of the year when he compares him- self with the boy he was nine months ago, it is then that the appreciation and gratitude for all this instruction reveals itself.

At the Academy every cadet has his I time mapped out for him; each exercise

has its proper time, and each duty must be performed at the appointed hour. He is taught flie habit of ready, prompt, and unquestioning obedience to those in au- thority; thus, he is taught to obey, so he learns to command and to study char- acter, that his influence and efficiency may be increased and his capabilities in leadership developed. Unconsciously those habits of self-reliance, self-re- straint, and independence of thought and action that are the true marks of a high class people fit him gradually for the larger and more varied duties of citizen- ship and business.

By a daily regulated system of com- petitive rating among the companies the interest of the cadet in his military work is greatly stimulated. Each day he is confronted by some new problem and is

GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT

As president of the academy, I desire to extend to those boys who are with us for the first time, a most cordial welcome and the right hand of fellowship. You are joining an institution that is old, honorable and dis- tinguished. Its reputation as a school of the highest rank has gone to the four corners of the earth, carried there by men who once stood where you stand now; who wore the same uniform, had the same thoughts and the same experiences . Each year the boys that graduate have cast the torch to those that are left behind. Let it be your ambition as it is your duty, to see to it that the flag is never lowered from the heights on which you received it.

As to what you get out of the Staunton Military Academy, a great deal is going to depend upon what you put into your cadet life. Those boys whom you see around you who have been here two, three, or four years, once came as you have now come—for the first time. The}- have already proven that they are fine fellows, and in behalf of them and for them 1 can promise that they will give you a square deal. Ten thousand boys have preceeded you on the path you have now chosen. You could not do more than to make yourselves worthy of the work they have done, and the record they have made.

While you are here 1 wish each one to know and to feel that I am your personal friend ,and you must feel free to come to me at any time you might think 1 could help you in any phase of your cadet life. Prove your- self to me, and give me a chance to prove myself to you.

As to you "Old Boys," permit me to renew greetings previously ex- tended. There are now ties between us which 1 am sure we both feel are very binding. You have been helping me and 1 trust I have been of some help to you. Let us see to it that our mutual regard and faith are always fresh every morning and renewed every evening. .

Yours in the spirit of S. M. A. THOS. H. RUSSELL, President.

orders. They are on their honor to re- port all violations of orders and regula- tions which they are instructed to en- force. There is nothing in his orders about reporting other cadets for swear- ing, smoking, etc., however, the proper action in respect to disorder is neces- sary on their part.

"As to the Officer of the Day and Sergeant of the Guard. These are the fellows you will have to watch out for. You cannot let them see you smoking, or see you in improper uniform, or here you swear. For they are on their honor to report all such breaches of regula- tions. Why? Because they must sign a Certificate at the end of their tour of duty, stating that they have carried out all Academy Regulations.

"They must report every breach of regulations that they see. This does not mean that they are a couple of Sherlock Holmes who sleuth about try- ing to find trouble. Nor does it mean that they shut themselves in the Guard House where they will not see or hear anything. It means also that they must report everything that comes to their notice in the ordinary rounds of duty. It means also that they must report themselves for failure to carry out or- ders or regulations from the time they report on duty until they report off. Whenever the officer of the Day appears outside his quarters he must wear the red sash and the saber.

"The red sash and the saber of the Officer of the Day demands the utmost respect, and any disrespect toward him should be put on a parallel with disre- spect toward the Flag."

constantly on the alert for these new tests of knowledge. Gradually he at- tains a sense of uniformity, precision, and orderliness, and knowing that all the time he must be respectful to his superiors, he eventually gains a true meaning of the word "Discipline."

An hour each day is reserved for the military section of this daily schedule. Each company has a different branch of practical work to undertake; one may have close order drill, another a field problem, another may study and work on the machine gun, while still another may be on the firing range. The purpose of this basis instruction is to afford every man an opportunity for leadership and command. In order to obtain an ap- pointment to a military office, it is neces- sary for the recruit to tulfill his duties properly for the entire year, to exercise obedience and self-control at all times, and to be sufficiently intelligent to in- struct a cadet or group of cadets. By observing these simple rules, he can quickly gain the confidence of his com- manders, and can make himself success- ful as an officer or non-commissioned officer the following year.

In conjunction with the daily drill pe- riods, Military Science classes are at- tended by all cadets in the Reserve Offi- cers' Training Corps who afe fourteen years of age or over. The purpose of these sections is to give a broader per- spective of military work to the students and to assist them in their knowledge ol military tactics on the drill field.

Cadets Invited to Chaplain's Study

Cadets are invited to use the Chap- lain's Studj' for such service as may be given, there. They are always welcome and he will be glad to give them any possible assistance.

Telephone calls may be made or telegrams sent. The weekly allow- ances will be issued here.

He also receives money, or other valuables, for safe keeping. Cadets may run a drawing account making deposits and withdrawals as they wish.

The hour between drill and five o'clock each school day is the period set apart for exchange of money.

Wholesome Moral Atmosphere Is Object of Religious Life

Maintained at Academy

The Staunton Military Academy is not controlled by any religious organization, yet it is the purpose of the management to give opportunity for religious exer- cises and to maintain a wholesome moral and religious atmosphere. The Post Chaplain has charge of this phase of cadet life. He is an ordained minister of the Methodist Church serving under the appointment of his bishop and Re- serve Chaplain of the 317th Infantry, U. S. Army. He is assisted in his work by other members of the faculty, min- isters, and laymen of the city, and else- where, and in particular by the Cadet Young Men's Christian Association.

Nothing sectarian at any time enters into the religious work of the Academy. All cadets are encouraged to maintain the faith of their fathers, and are given sufficient opportunity to keep in touch with the churches of which they are members, or of which their parents are members.

Most of the religious program is vol- untary; there are, however, services from which none are excused ; they are as follows:

The Chapel Service—Each school day begins with a short service following breakfast. Before the cadets leave the table the Chaplain, or someone at his in- vitation, conducts a service, usually con- sisting of scripture reading, a talk and prayer. This service requires a very few minutes but is designed to start the day with recognition of the Infinite.

Sunday Church—All cadets attend church Sunday morning. The corps is usually formed in church squads and attend church in town. These squads are grouped according to the statement of "religious affiliation" as given when application is made for entrance into the Academy. At times, however, when the 1'ost Chaplain so directs, the church service is held in the Assembly hall at the Academy, and the service conducted by the Chaplain or some one whom he invites to address the corps.

Academic Department Explains System Of

Rewarding Good Work

Legion of Honor and Other Prizes and Awards

are Given

At the end of the year and during' finals, medals and prizes are given for the best work done during the year in many subjects, and also for other ac- tivities of the school. The Colonial iTaughters' Essay Prize is given for the best essay written on some patriotic subject. Medals are awarded to the best student in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, History, English, Spanish, Latin, French, Advanced Military Science, Elementary Military Science, Efficiency in Band, and for Oratory, Captain Honor Company, Deportment, and First Honor Academic Department. Then there is the La-Marche-Hitchens Medal and the Kable Legion of Honor. Besides these medals, a great number of prizes are awarded for excellency in the different academic departments.

Probably the most coveted of the above awards is the Kable Legion of Honor, awarded to the cadet whose records are most conspicuous for good conduct, academic excellence, integrity of character, gentlemanly bearing, leadership, unselfishness, and continuous loyalty to the highest standards of duty. No cadet is eligible unless he has grad- uated from the academy and made good in whatever he is doing after leaving this school.

The academic awards are subject to the following rules: the English medal is awarded in Senior English only. The Latin medal must be won on either Cicero or Virgil. The History medal may be won in any of the four courses, and French and Spanish medals in the third or fourth year. The mathematics medal is restricted to senior math. For elementary Military Science the award covers the first or second year, while the advanced Military Science award goes to the third or fourth year.

System of Academic Exams and Decorations Explained

The year is composed of four quar- ters, each consisting of approximately two and one-half months. At the end of each quarter, examinations are held in all subjects except Military Science. These examination marks are averaged in with the daily rating for the final grade. The yearly mark is an average of the four quarters' final grades. In connection with this quarterly rating are the academic decorations. These decorations are of tour orders, namely: Third Class, Second Class, First Class, and Highest Order. The Order of the Third Class decoration is a plain bar consisting of the school colors of blue and gold, and is given to all cadets re- ceiving scholastic marks all of which are above seventy per cent. The Order of the Second Class decoration has a bronze disk superimposed on a bar sim- ilar to that of the Order of the Third Class decoration; it is given to those having marks of eighty per cent, to ninety per cent. The Order of the First Class has a silver disc and the Highest Order a gold one. These are awarded to cadets whose marks are above ninety, the highest order going to the cadet with the highest average in the corps. The decorations are'given out after each of the quarterly exams, and may be worn by the cadet during the following quar- ter.

Subscrihe to The Kablegram

Every cadet in S. M. A. should be a subscriber to this paper. It is the only institution in the academy run solely by the cadets, and for them. Its existence depends upon the sup- port it receives from the corps through subscriptions. The price is one dollar and a half for the year, and it may he sent to any address de- sired wthout extra pay. Look up Cadet Stevenson, Captain Moody, or the Chaplain and enter your name now for this year.

Fight for the fame of old S. M. A. Fight on with all, your might!

Don't let defeat cause sorrow; Think of the victories of old.

One day's defeat means victory to meet, So fight on for the Blue and Gold.

Hail to our Alma Mater, Hail to the Gold and Blue!

Here's to thy glorious past, S .M. A. Here's to thy future, too!

Under thy glorious colors We'll double the victories of old—

We'll shout thy name and bear thee to fame ,

So all hail to the Blue and Gold!

= The lives of truest heroism are

those in which there are no great deeds to look back upon. It is the little things well done that go to make up a successfully and truly good life.

RODNEY BELL, Guard Captain Football Team

GENERAL ORDER NO. 1 (Continued From Page One)

After the first game the squad will be cut to about twenty-eight men.

The schedule is composed of nine games, five away and four at home. The cadet corps, however, will be able to see five games, as they will attend the Fishburne game.

The coaches are particularly anxious for all men who want to play football to turn out whether they have had pre- vious experience or not. All positions on the team are open and only two players can be said to be reasonably sure of their jobs.

Many Kinds of Sports Available to Students

J11 connection with athletics the new- comer can find practically any form of organized team activity. S. M. A. has varsity teams in tennis, boxing, foot- ball, baseball, swimming, basketball, wrestling, soccer, and rifle work, with company teams in boxing, basketball, baseball, football, swimming, and fre- r|tiently soccer. There is also oppor- tunity for cadets to enjoy individual gymnastic development, as there arc two large gymnasiums available. All the teams are on a competitive basis, and those with the necessary ability are eagerly sought. It is only necessary for a cadet to report to the coaches; he will be given an opportunity to show his skill.

Literary Society Open

To Interested Cadets

For the past fourteen years there has been at Staunton Military Academy a literary organization, the Woodrow Wil- son Literary Society, whose purpose has been to inculcate in its members the ability to speak with ease before a group of people. Debates, informal and formal talks, speeches, and similar lit- erary activities are presented every Sat- urday night, except during examina- tions, at which time the meeting is post- poned until the following Monday night. Exclusively officered and man- aged by cadets, the society has two faculty advisors who attended the ma- jority of meetings and who coach the debating, public speaking, and public reading teams sent out by the society. All candidates for these squads start work in March, eliminations deciding which men go to the state contests as S. M. A. representatives.

At the end of each session keys are awarded to members who have been regular in attendance and who have shown interest in the improvement of the organization. English credits are also given each quarter. Cadets desir- ing to join the society or wishing to know more about its functions should see Cadet J. M. Voss, president, or .Major Brice, faculty adviser. o ■

HAMRICK&CO. FLORISTS

18 West Frederick Street

It is well to know the location of the various buildings and barracks in order to facilitate the first year man's intro- ductory period.

South Barracks is the large stone building to the south. In it arc class- rooms Nos. 1-20, dormitories 100-343, Guard House, barber shop, three study halls, and the main bulletin board. Out- side is located Woodward's shack, wher.; all uniforms to be pressed or cleaned a "e deposited and returned.

North Barracks is, as its name im- plies, situated on the northern part of the "Hill." It contains military head- quarters, post office, library, pool room, classrooms 25-29, dormitories 400-618, and the old gym. Near this building is a small structure containing classrooms 23 and 24.

West Barracks, or "Wing," bouses the Junior department, mess hall, and post chaplain's office. Here the younger members of the corps, Co. "E," room under the close supervision of their sev- eral faculty and the house-mother. The mess hall is directly below the dormi- tories and consists of two parts, the up- per and lower mess halls. The Admin- istration building" is connected to the West Barracks, and in it are located the president's, headmaster's, and treasurer's offices.

Memorial Hall contains classrooms 41- 55, boxing room, dancing room, "J. D." gym, and new gymnasium. Across the road are the Infirmary and Athletic Field. The infirmary is an isolated structure away from the noise of school.

Kable Hall is the new edifice on the northern side of the "Hill," between North Barracks and Memorial Hall. It will be occupied by cadets for the first time this year, ln Kable Hall is found the swimming pool. This pool, opened during finals last year, has already prov- en itself a great source of pleasure to the cadets. Besides the natatorium, the "hall" contains a locker room with six hundred lockers, which will give each cadet a locker of his own in which to keep athletic clothes and personal prop- erty.

The Laundry is located a short dis- tance in rear of North Barracks. Laun- dry Call follows Reveille each Saturday morning, at which time the cadets are required to deposit their soiled laundry, and receive that cleaned during the week. Every cadet should have his full name on each piece of clothing and on his laundry bags.

The school has a regular classified post office, known as Kable Station, and located on the first floor of North Bar- racks, under the direct supervision of Mr. H. M. Calhoun, a competent civil service employee. This office has every facility of a city station, including reg- istry, money orders, insurance, etc. Over six hundred lock boxes are available to the cadets at a small charge fixed by the Postoffice Department at Washington. There are four mails a day, and it is a source of great satisfaction to a boy to know that he can get his letter or pack- age within a few minutes after it reaches Staunton, as the Government delivers the mails directly to and from the depot and this office. The office is open from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. daily except Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday it will close at noon and on Sunday at 9:30 a. m.

Band and Orchestras Offers Opportunity to

Musically Inclined

Organizations Play for Formal

and Informal School

Activities

Y. M. C. A. Has Varied Program of Services

The Cadet Y. M. C. A. is a student organization which exists for the pur- pose of service to our own student body and to promote Christian work throughout the Preparatory schools of the state. For the latter purpose it as- sists in the support of the State Y. M. C. A. work and co-operates with other schools in joint activities and sends del- egates to the State Conferences.

As a service to the Cadet Corps it provides some activities which are not covered by other organizations. It pro- motes Bible Study. The Deputation Team gave a number of programs at other schools and nearby churches. At camp a service tent is maintained which furnishes reading matter and writing material and creates a com- munity center for the camp. The Y. M. C. A. stands for the highest form of service and everything that enters into the best development of clean, strong, young manhood.

The Cadet Y. M. C. A. is financially supported by a small membership fee which each cadet is requested to pay, and a few donations which interested friends usually make for this purpose. Its expenses: 1. Maintenance of The Memorial or Flower Fund; 2. Contribu- tion to State Student "Y" Work; 3. Providing for Camp "Y" Service Tent; 4. Various Incidentals in connection with the Association.

It is earnestly requested that each cadet contribute at least $1.00 toward this fund. Probably no equal amount spe )llc

4'{7ng the year will help so much 'n Sal" as til worthy ways as this will nal dance

nksgiving forn

Music at S. M. A. is limited to three organizations, the Band, the dance or- chestra, and the classical orchestra. The Band is a part of the military organi- zation of the battalion and functions a great deal like any other unit, having both band and company formations. At the beginning of school it devotes several weeks to regular company rifle drills, for the purpose of familiarizing its members with this side of military life. Following this period all drills arc in band formations.

This organization, whose membership usually amounts to over fifty, has been known for numerous years as the best prep school band in the state and has rated at government inspections as one of the best in the South. The entire company is offered numerous opportun- ities to make trips, of which the one to the annual Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Virginia, is the largest and most desired; three days are spent at this festivity.

The dance orchestra, known as the Dulcaires, is a cadet organization, which for the past two years has handled practically all of the school's informal dances. It also played in the Mess Hall several times and on trips out of town.

The classical orchestra, under the di- rection of Major Beardsworth, musi- cal instructor, takes care of the more formal affairs of the year, besides play- ing at each Monday morning assembly. Its membership amounts to approxi- mately twenty-five.

Cadets contemplating joining any of these organizations should see Major Beardsworth. It is possible for a ca- det to be a member of the three groups. o ■

Give Cadets an Outlet

For Journalistic Urge

THE KABLEGRAM is the school news- paper and official organ of the S. M. A. cadets. It is a bi-weekly publication run solely by the cadets, and for them, and offers many inducements to those who are interested in journalistic work.

At the close of the year members of the staff are given a banquet, at which each cadet is presented with a charm, known as the KABLEGRAM key. This charm is divided into three classes; cadets who have been on the staff two years and whose work has been excep- tional are awarded gold keys, while those performing on the paper for their first season are given silver and bronze keys. To be eligible for any of the charms a cadet must qualify on either the business or editorial staff satisfac- torily. The English department offers a maximum of four points to be added to the total mark at the end of each quarter. As an added reward for cap- able work, extra leaves are some times granted by the commandant. Capt. Moody is faculty adviser of THE KABLE- GRAM.

In addition to THE KABLEGRAM the Shrapnel, the school annual, is another outlet offered to cadets interested in journalism. It is a publication involving lime and effort, but affords a practical means of gaining valuable experience and gives numerous rewards to those who become permanent members of the staff. This book is put out under the direction of Colonel T. G. Russell, who should be seen by cadets interested in.this type of work. o

His car and her car met head-on. Both drivers got out and, with that fine cour- tesy so characteristic of motorists now- adays, both began to apologize profusely.

"I'm so sorry," said the woman; "it was all my fault."

"Not at all, madame," the man re- sponded with a gallant gesture; "I was to blame myself."

"But I insist the fault was mine. I was on your side of the road."
