UPPER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES at Fork Union Military Academy
It was a rainy night to say the least,
but it didn’t dampen the spirits of
those who attended the Military Ball.
Seventy-six couples danced the night
away in Vaughn Hall. More Photos-Pg 2
The Greenbrier Parade in
April starts off the Spring
parade season. Cadet Robert
Barnes is honored with the
Greenbrier Award, presented
to him by his grandfather.
Cadets with zero-demerits were
honored at the Renaissance
award ceremony and dinner in
May. Cadets were treated to a
steak dinner served by Admiral
Burhoe, COL Williamson and the
company TAC Officers. Behind the
scenes, COL Fender cooked the
steaks, and Commandant Dept.
staff served the dinners and
desserts. A special dinner fit for
our deserving Renaissance cadets.
Cadets seem happy to “give orders” for a change!
On April 23, Cadet Zimu Li and CPT. Gottschalk
traveled to St. Louis, Missouri to attend the FIRST
Robotics World competition. Over 81 countries
were represented at the four day event and Cadet
Li was invited as a Deans List finalist for that award.
All of the finalists were acknowledged during the
opening ceremony. Cadet Li was honored by an
exclusive luncheon with Dean Kamen, the founder
of FIRST Robotics. Li was encouraged with his visit
as the new microcomputer was revealed for the
2015-2016 season.
