Staunton Players Present Play

From Broadway to Hollywood to Staunton—thus reads the impressive his- tory of Owen Davis' detective comedy, "Mr. and Mrs. North." The Staunton Players will present the funniest \vho- dun-it' to come along in years this Fri- day and Saturday nights in the Lee High School auditorium.

A capable and veteran cast under the direction of Miss Martha Williams, dra- matic coach at Stuart Hall, has been hard at work on the production for many weeks. S. M. A. faculty members promi- nent in the cast are Major Godshalk, re- duced to the rank of lieutenant for his role as the detective; and Lieutenants Tolley and King. Special care lias been given to the construction of a set worthy of Mr. Davis' sparkling comedy.

For an evening filljd to the brim with laughs and suspense, drop by the Lee High School auditorium this Friday and Saturday evening and meet "Mr. and Mrs. North." Who knows? Maybe your favorite instructor is a murderer. The 'damage' for admission is very reason- able. If you're one of the lucky sort who has a best girl, do her a favor and bring her along.

Sharks Win S. M. A. Junior Championship

Tuesday afternoon in a nip-and-tuck affair, at the Kable Memorial swimming pool, the Sharks nipped the Dolphins by the close score of 20 to 19.

It was a thrilling meet to the last event, when the Sharks won the 100 yard freestyle relay to clinch the banner for the season.

Captain Gomez, of the Dolphins, win- ning the twenty-five yard back stroke event, has remained undefeated through- out the season. He is sure to jump to a varsity berth next fall.

Cadet White, o fthe Sharks, dethroned the stellar breaststroker Anderson, of the Dolphins, in the 25 yard breaststroke.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Education Today

It can be truly said that education to- day must accomplish a dual purpose. First, it must prepare its students, for the immediate future, that is, the war; sec- ond, it must make provision for the reconstruction period which will follow the war.

The educational facilities at S. M V are capable of achieving both these aims. This academy reputably has one of the finest academic courses of its type in the United States. It has one of the highest records for military training in the country. Yes, the faculty of the Staunton Military Academy arc lining their part. They offer their students the opportunity to prepare themselves for the immediate and outlying future.

However, instructors can onlj offer knowledge. They cannot lodge subjec' matter in the brains of their pupils no matter how much both so desire it. The receiving end of education, which we call learning, is entirely the responsibility of the student. The amount of knowledge which he absorbs depends upon his in- dustriousness alone. There is no short cut.

Chapin says, "The best men are not those who have waited for chances, hut those who have taken them—beseiged the chances, conquered the chance, and made the chance their servitor." Now as never before our country needs the best men it can produce. Therefore, does it not seem only right that each and every one of us should do his best to take full advantage of every opportunity which will better equip us for the tasks ahead?

As A Future Officer In The United States Army Do You—

Have self-confidence? Maintain a neat, soldiery appearance? Have a thorough knowledge of your

phase of military science?

If given a position of authority, always follow through in regard lo disciplinacy measurers when exacting obedience to orders ?

Always bear in mind that being a good officer is more important than being a "good fellow"?

Realize that your country is at war and that you are preparing yourself for the "real thing"?

"Keep 'Em Flying"

While interviewing Captain Irving on the subject of flying, he said that boys between the ages of 18 and 26 can he- come aviation cadets in the U. S. Army. Since World War II has started, this new ruling has been put into effect. No evidence of a formal education diploma is required, since all applicants must take the same qualifying examination. The only change in physical requirements is the lowering of the minimum height of applicants to five feet. Married men arc also eligible for appointment. The examinations are based on an I.Q. test which is sufficient to enable him to ab- sorb the technical instruction ol the cadet course. They are classed into three sections: navigator, pilot, and hombarder.

Captain Irving wishes to announce that at the present time he has eleven flyers, who have all soloed under the C.A.A. course. These flyers follow flight plans, and are allowed to fly in a radius ol ten miles. If they wish to go further, they have to secure the C.A.A. approved flight plan.

(.'apt. Irving also said that there is under consideration a Civil Air Patrol being formed in the state of Virginia. Most likely the cadets here at the Academy will take part in the patrolling of the roads, bridges, dams, and build- ings in this state.

Flying is coming more and more into the light of modern warfare More en- listed men and officers are applying for flight training. This summer many flying training schools will be opened in America.

I f you have the time and money it would be a very good idea to enroll in one of these courses.

Excerpts From President's Speech

. . . "This war is a new kind of war. It is different from all other wars in the past, not only in its methods and weapons, but in its geographical location. It is war- fare in terms of every country, continent and ocean. It dominates the air.

.... "The Americans who believe we could live tinder the illusion of isolation wanted the American eagle to imitate tin- tactics of the ostrich.

. . . "Here are three high purposes lor every American :

1—We won't stop work for a single day. The dispute shall be settled by mediation or arbitration.

2—We shall not demand any special gains, privileges or advantages for am one occupation.

3—We shall give up conveniences and modify our living. We shall do this cheerfully, rcmcinh ring that the CIHIII-

seeks to destroy our homes and happiness

for all times,

.... "The task we Americans face will test us to the uttermost.

.... "Never before have we been called upon for such prodigious effort. Never before have we had so much to do in so little time.

The to Washington and follows :

Staunton, Tuesday, March 31, 1942, Eastern War Time, is as

By Holcomb and DeVault In the early years of Staunton Mili-

tary Academy, the founder of the school lived in the building now occupied by the offices of the Superintendent, Head- master, and Treasurer. The cadets lived in a frame building which stood on the site now occupied by the Southwest corn- er of South Barracks. In addition to these two buildings there was another which contained class rooms and a study hall.

Soon after it's removal to the city of Staunton, the school became more and more famous. Captain Kable was emi- nently successful in his chosen profession of education. The cadets prepared by him were almost unfailingly successful in their college and university careers. It was due to this success that the institu- tion soon grew from a smaller local af- fair to a well-known preparatory school.

Because of the gradual growth of the school it was incorporated in the year 1893. The original charter was written by Judge J. L. S. Kirby, who also handled all legal matters that came to this corporation. He was a cadet at the United States Military Academy or W'est Point when the Civil War broke out. On account of the fact that he was a Southerner, he left that institution, be- sides one hundred and ten other South- eners, among whom was Robert E. Lee, and hurried South to fight for the cause of the Confederates. He was a brother- in-law of Captain Kable, and after the war, when the school was incorporated, he was put in charge of its legal business.

All through the early period in the founding of the school, the school was known to the townspeople as the Kable School, and the cadets were known as the Kable Boys. This name was so popular that hardly ever was any other name applied to the institution for a long period of years. This is one reason why some of the present cadets while on leave in town may hear themselves spoken of as Kable Boys.

In 1900, due to the fact that he was "getting along in years," Captain William H. Kable turned the administration of the school over to his son, Colonel Will- iam G. Kable. On account of the in- dustry and ability of Colonel W. G. Kable the school made rapid strides forward. The new president was a firm believer in advertising and used this medium extensively to bring the attention of the public to the school. As a result, the number of applicants tor admission to the school steadily grew, year after year.

In the year 1904 there visited the school a disaster which was really a blessing in disguise. This was the fire which distroyed the entire establishment, except for the founders home and the Junior School. The barracks were burned to the ground, total losses. The fire broke out at two o'clock in the morning. Col. T. H. Russell who had just come to the institution as a teacher the year before, had a room in a wing leading from the building. He awoke, disturbed by the heat, and on looking up saw the flames eating their way through the ceiling. On going to his door to get out he found the hallway a mass of flames. His window- was thirty of forty feet from the ground —a dangerous jump. As he was deliberat- ing what he was going to do, a cadet dashed into his room, having come through the fire-filled passageway.

Wednesday afternoon, in the Memorial gym, the spiders spun a close defensive net over the Tigers and completely en- tangled the heretofore raging Tigers to the tune of 43 to 18. In scoring forty- three points, the Spiders set a new- league high for offensive scoring.

Cadet Murphy Albury was the spark of the Spider attack, sinking eight bas- kets for a total of eighteen points and high scorer of the afternoon. Cadet Jay Higgins was high scorer for the Tigers with nine points. The entire Spider team was outstanding in their defensive play holding the Tigers to one field goal in the first eight minutes of play.

It was the excellent passing and guard- ing of cadet Ed Lam pert that stole the show from his high scoring teammate, Ace Albury, of the league champs.

SMA Natators Are League Champions

Undefeated in prep and high school circles, Coach Onesty's determined swim- mers splashed their way to an easy vic- tory last Saturday night over the com- bined forces of A.M.A., F.M.S., and R.M.A. in the animal Quadrangular Swimming Meet.

Last year A.M.A., through the narrow- margin of only six points, wrenched the championship and a beautiful trophy from our unexperienced swimming team. Even more determined this year to re- gain this trophy, the S. M. A. dolphins went forth to battle, and by scoring 58 points they defeated F.M.S. 16 points, R.M.A. by 13 points, and A.M.A. by 13 points. Medals were awarded to those swimmers who placed first, second and third, while those placing fourth re- ceived one point. Staunton took all first places with the exception of two. They also took most of the second and third.

Staunton's quartet of Higgins, Seifert, Guth, and Shively remained undefeated in the 200 yard freestyle relay, while Stuart, Seigle, A., and Corey kept up their fine record of having been defeated only once this season in the 150 yard medley relay. Cox and Haley were also in fine form on the spring board.

The order of events were: 50 yard freestyle—1 Wolfe, A., 2 Hig-

SMA Defeats AMA For State Prep Title

Last Saturday night Captain Joe's Blue and Gold leather-pushers smashed Augusta with a decisive win of 5}i to 254. Although handicapped by losing the opening two bouts of the night and getting a draw on the bout, S.M.A. came through with flying colors to take the next five bouts, three by technical knock outs and two by decisions.

The opening bout, 120 pound class, was between Larry Noble of S. M. A. and Leon Lee of A. M. A. All three rounds were close, but the decision was awarded to Lee.

The 127 pound class between Tommy Wilson of S. M. A. and Morris Guer- rant of A. M. A. was indeed one of the best bouts ever seen on the hill. Both fighters were in the prime of condition, and each managed to block almost all of his opponents' blows. This fight was very close, and could easily have been called either way; however, the decision was given to Guerrant. This was Wilson's first loss in his three years of fighting on the hill.

The 135 pound duel between Bob Pressley of S. M. A. and Cecil DePriest of A. M. A. !was a three-round battle deluxe. Pressley kept the offensive throughout the fight, and landed numer- ous effective blows on his opponent. The j fight was called a draw giving A.M.A. j a two point lead.

The 145 pound right between John McKean of S. M. A. and Morton Alper was one of the best slugging duels wit- nessed on the hill in a long time. Mc- Kean was the aggressor throughout the fight, and he continually poured lefts and rights to his opponent's body and jaw. Alpher managed to stay in the ring three rounds, and the fight was awarded to McKean on a decision.

Henry Sbiplett of S. M. A. gained a T.K.O. over Don Stanley of A.M.A. in the 155 pound class in the opening seconds of the second round. Shipplett's

powerful body blows staggered Stanley numerous times in the first round. When the second round opened Shipplett was determined to get his man, and he did in only a few seconds.

In the 165 pound class Bill Bendure easily defeated Augusta's Ed Roberts by a T.K.O. in the first round. Bendure came out of his corner and pounded his opponent terrifically witli rights and lefts. Roberts, unable to stand up under this barrage of blows, quit after 35 seconds and the fight was awarded to Bendure by a T.K.O.

In the 175 pound class Bob Brackett easily won a decision from Augusta's Fred Costa. Brackett was the aggressor throughout the fight, and he pounded Costa in the ropes several times with his powerful jabs.

Rudy Frey took the unlimited bout from Augusta's Bob I )orsk witli a TKO in the second rojjnd. Although Dorsk I fought bravely, he was unable to take Prey's powerful blows of the second round, and the referee had to stop the fight.

This was Staunton's sixth win in seven starts this year. Staunton's only set-back of the season was a draw with the Cent- ral High School of Charlotte, N. C. The Hilltoppers only loss to a prep or high school in twenty years was to Central High last vear.

After sporting a record of many vic- tories, the powerful V. P. 1. Freshman swimming team visited S. M. A. two weeks ago and defeated our team by the close score of 35 to 31. It was a hard fought battle all the way, with S. M. A. taking three first places and most of the second and third.

George Tullidge, captain of S.M.A.'s natators last year, is now attending V. P. 1. He established a new pool record in the 100 yard back stroke by the amazing time of 1 :02.8.

Thompson of V. P. I. swam a very fast 100 yard breast stroke, and also set a new pool record over Bob Ousley, who left S. M. A. in 1940, in bettering the lead record by 2-10 of a second. Thomp- son's time was 1 :06.8.

Then the two record breakers, Tul- lidge and Thompson, pins Smith of V. P. I., got together in the 150 yard Medley Relay to break the third pool record of the evening.

S. M. A.'s quartet of Higgins, Seifert, Guth, and Shivley still remained unde- feated in the 200 yard free style relay.

Cox and Haley, Staunton's divers, also were in fine form, taking a very easy- first and second in the diving.

Summaries were :

50 yard freestyle—1 Higgins, S., 2 Caughlin, 1"'., 3 Shivley, S. Time 26.5.

100 yard breaststroke—1 Thompson, F., 2 Greenla, F., 3 Dodge, S. Time 1:06.8. (A new pool record by 2-10 of a second over Bob Ousley of S. M. A., 1940).

THE KABLEGRAM

S. M. A. Hash A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING

Dear Mom, I would have written sooner, but I

have been awful busy. We bad a boxing match last Saturday nite, and there was almost a fite. The commandant was wor- ried enough to have the Staunton police- men up here . . . both of them. There was a little confusion at the outset when an alumnus named Herz tripped over bis nose as he entered the gym, but alter that we bad two full seconds of peaee and quiet. Muse almost smacked a A.M.A. cadet when be said that the gym had holes in the ceiling, and that the rain was coming through. As a matter ol tact, it was just Grisham drolling over a lolly- pop,

dimming was trying to tell me some sort of joke, but Shipplett was making so much noise in the ring cracking some- body's ribs that 1 couldn't hear him.

Oh, yes, there was a swimming meet too. The diving came first: After some Joe from Fishburne bad completed a one-and-a-half with a full twist and a kink in the left big toe, it was Haley's turn to do a jacknife — he screamed to the judges as he bounced off the board on bis head.

We had about ten inches of snow down here the other night, and although most of the fellows liked it, some of them did not. For instance, take McCabe. He spent almost three hours in the commandant' i office trying to prove that be wasn't AWOL. (Well, after all, how was the office to know he got submerged in a snow drift. He wouldn't have been found until the thaw if efficiency plus Simon hadn't reported an enemy sub lurking off the canteen.) And I almost forgot: Dur- ing the fracas in South Barracks, some- one picked up little "Wop" Pagnotti and threw him at the O.D,

Well, Mom, I gotta quit now. Inci- dentally, I can't send you a picture of the girl 1 just met . . . you know, that beau- tiful little thing I told you about? The j only day the sun was shining, she forgot ,

to shave. Your Son (unfortunately),

SLANGUAGE CONTEST Record Review

For the five best slang expressions a guest ticket will be awarded to see "Ball of Fire" at the Dixie theatre Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, March !), 10, or 11. Bring your entry to room 506 before 5:00 today.

Bent upon getting a cross-section of America's most picturesque slang, for the purpose of an encyclopedia article, the rounds of night life are made by Gary Cooper (Co-starred with Barbara Stanwyck) in Samuel Goldwyn's convulsing comedy feature, "Ball of Fire." Here Gary induces a couple of chorines to spill something nifty from their vernacular.

The line below is for your contribution to modern slang, your con- ception of a phrase from one of the chorines:

... I porch with a toothpick.

Once many years ago in ancient Greece there was a young man b) the name of Hophostophilis Smithocles. This young man was not a particularly wholesome type of individual; in fad be has al- ways getting into trouble ai the high school where he went in Whistlestop Junction, Hercules county, Ancient (ireece. (me day after he bad been out all night, wrecked the family chariot, and gol thrown into jail, his father took him aside in a fatherly Inn- of voice, "Son I am SO tired of you and your ugly face that 1 am going to lake a little vacation. I am going to send you to the Spartan Military Academy in San Qucnlin, Phoenicia, which is run by an old friend of mine, Col. Lucius M. Caesar." Hoph- ostophilis did not seem to IK' pleased at this news, but as there was not much that he could do about it be accepted calmly.

His first day at S. M. A. be was great - ed bj a person called Marcus Oldboy, who said, "Phi Beta Kappa, Epsilon Delta Gamma, and epluribus unum."

"Thank you," said 1 loppy, "I ortainl appreciate that." Then, after he was giv- en bis gray Miit with the number on back (purely for identification purposes, be was escorted to bis room by two smiling boys with Springfield iavclins,

"What are tin- bars for," asked I loppy. "Oh, that's to keep people from coming

in here," retorted Plato McSophocles, Ins new roommate, as he rattled his chains joyfully.

After having been there one week I loppy wrote home that the place was fine. They rose at an hour which be was not sure of because it was too dark to see the clock. Then they went to classes in the "cheerful, well-lighted dungeons," where the kindly teachers wielded their whips (of wisdom.) Then as a special reward to those who had bought a copy of the school paper— ($5.00 per issue), and who bad swept the riding hall, they were led out into the street, and allowed to gaze uninterupt- edly for fifteen minutes at all of the girls who passed by on every Friday night. On Sunday they were allowed to go to town from two p. m. to four-thirty a. m., if they didn't eat more than two eggs all week.

By Lubin, 11.

Among the best recorded solos you'll find Ziggy Elman's trumpet on Tommy Dorsey's "Another One of Them Things," Benny Goodman's clary on his "Lullaby in Rhythm," Fred Beckett's trombone on Harlan Leonard. "My Gal Sal," Lester Young's tenor on Basic's "Oh, Lady Be Good," Charlie Spivak's trumpet on his "It's So Peaceful in the Country," Trummy Young's trombone on Lunceford's "Sweet Sue," and "I Got It," Erskine Hawkins' trumpet on bis "Gin Mill Special," and Soft Winds," Bill Miller's piano on Barnet's "Ev'ry Sunday Afternoon," and "Mother Fuzzy,"' Earl Hines' piano on his "Rhythm Sun- dae," and "Southside," the late Bus Etri's guitar on Barnet's "Tapin at the Tappa." Joe Bushkin's piano on Tommy Dorsey's "Hallelujah," Edwin Wilcox's piano on Lunceford's "Bug's Parade," Art Tatum's piano on his "Rosetta," Tex i Beneke's tenor on Glenn Miller's "Boog-| lie Wooglie Piggy," Billy May's muted i horn on Barnet's "Night and Day," and Paul Webster's trumpet on Lunceford's "Monotony in Four Flats."

"Boogie de Concerto," "The Devil Sat Down and Cried," Erskine Butterfield— I )ecca.

There have been all sorts of versions of Tschaikovsky's "Concerto in B Flat Minor," but the one that should attract the raves is this excellent boogie styling. With his left hand moving as fast as a pi-ton, Butterfield turns out a perform- ance equal to "Butter Scotch," "Sweet Butter," "Salt Butter," and other num- liers he composed and arranged. Still young, Butterfield has ample opportunity to develop into one of the greatest ivory thumpers of this age. On the reverse he demonstrated his vocal ability. While they are not as pronounced as bis key- board inclinations, they are passable.

"Winter Weather," "How About You?" Tommy Dorsey—Victor.

T. D. competes with Bob Chester's version of "Winter," and turns out an equally fine job. The Pied Pipers are on hand to give a swellegant vocal rendition. The ending is typical of Sy Oliver's ar- ranging genius. The reverse lias Frank Sinatra on a good vocal, but the hand lacks power and drive. With a bit more punch, this could have been a good side. But the other side makes up for that, making this platter well worth the fifty- five cents asked for it.
