THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington February 9, 1957
TO THE HOWIE RIFLES, STAUNTON MILITARY ACADEMY:
Heartiest congratulations on your participation in the 1957 Inaugural Parade!
I can assure you that there was not a more impressive unit in the entire Parade, and I was extremely proud when you pass- ed the Presidential Reviewing Stand. You were indeed a cre- dit to the Staunton Military Academy.
I want to convey to each of you the President's appreciation of the part you played in help- ing to make his Second Inau- gural a most impressive and en- joyable occasion. He enjoyed the Parade immensely, and I felt that it was the best one I have ever witnessed.
Warm personal regards and best wishes to each of you,
Signed,
Wilton B. Persons The Deputy Assistant to the President
Military Call To Be Held March 1,1957 Dance to Have "Blue and Grey" Theme
Col. W. S. Thomas, Old Faculty Member, Returns To S. M. A.
As many cadets have probably realized, S. M. A. has a new fac- ulty member who is really an old faculty member returned. Lt. Col- onel Walter S. Thomas, the tem- porary day study hall supervisor, was Post Chaplain at S. M. A. from 1920 to 1936.
Colonel Thomas was educated at Bridgewater College and received his theological training at Emory University. After his graduation he became a minister in the Metho- dist Church. In this capacity In- served at S. M. A. and many towns in Virginia including Greenville, Churchville, and Burkcsville.
During the Second World War, Colonel Thomas served five years in the Chaplain Corps. He was Post Chaplain at Camp Lee, Vir- ginia, and at the Harmon General Hospital in Long View, Texas. Colonel Thomas is now retired.
His favorite author is Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, a noted religious writer. o
NewCadetsAssigned To Companies
The P. M. S. T. has been as- signed the new cadets to the com- panies. Cohan, a former SMA cadet who returned to Staunton, was assigned to B company. Wal- ter, J. D., who comes from another military school and is taking MS 3, was assigned to 4 company. Acard, Bergson, Nightengale, Pandolfi, and Coyer were assigned to C com- pany; this is the first lime they have been in a military school.
Troppe, Blank, Mariani, Sum- mers, Lerch, and Harmatuck, have not as yet been assigned to any company. Cadet S. Painter is now giving them preliminary drill in- struction.
Steve Kott Wins Golden Gloves
Steve Kott, who hails from South Carolina, has returned to SMA with the Middleweight Champion- ship of North and South Carolina. Steve won his fights in the pre- liminaries, which were held on February 8 and 9.
Steve won the first preliminary match by defeating Robert Son- der, of Rockhills Athletic club in Rockhill, S. C. by a unanimous decision, and the second prelim- inary by defeating Robert Moclello by a TK.O.
Then, moving up to the semi- finals, Kott defeated Lenny Camp- bell by T.K.O., which elevated him to the final match, where he defeat- ed Sam McCall in a split decision.
Kott's future plans arc to box in the Novice division, with boxers of New York. He expects to get further experience in college by boxing in the A.A.U.

Have You Noticed? Have you noticed the inscription
on the main gate? Many cadets have stopped and read the inscrip- tion, but to most it holds little significance. The gate was erected in memory of Dr. John Thomas Wicland, a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserve. Dr. Wieland was killed on December 2, 1944 in the Southwest Pacific during World War II. From 1931 to 1935 Dr. Wieland was an alum- nus of SMA. This monument was not dedicated to Dr. Wieland alone, but also to all SMA alumni who lost their lives in this conflict.
Have you noticed the monument on flag-pole hill? Everyone has at one time or another noticed it, but few seem to know what it stands for. All one has to do is read the inscription on the plaque: "In Memory Of Our Dead Heroes, 1917-1918 .... They Stood By The Flag." On the plaque is a list of 30 alumni who served dur- ing World War I.
If you go through the main gate on your way down town, or are on flag-pole hill admiring the view, stop, read the inscriptions, and re- member the purpose of these
I memorials.
Shown above are the leaders of the figure for the Military Ball. Cadet Major Nicholas Berklich with Miss Mary Dean Calloway, Cadet Lt. Col. Arthur O. Stern with Miss Gwen Kennedy, and Cadet Major Kenneth Legum with Miss Syvie Landis.
On March 1, the 33rd Annual Military Ball will be held in the Large Gym from nine o'clock until one, with music by the VAGABONDS.
The main attraction of the even- ing will be the figure, which will begin promptly at ten o'clock and will last for approximately twenty- five minutes. This year's figure consists' of five different parts. The figure will first be presented to the members of the Military Depart- ment in the Receiving Line and the Superintendent. Then the figure will form the letter "S" which will represent Staunton Military Academy. Next, the figure will form "57" in honor of the gradu- ating class of 1957. Later, the figure will form a heart honoring the "Sweethearts of SMA", and last, the figure will form the famed "arch of sabres" under which all the members of the figure will pass. Attractive favors for the girls in the figure will be given after the couples go through the trellises. All girls in the figure will wear white evening dresses and carry arm boquets of red roses with matching ribbons.
As previously stated, this year's decorations are honoring those who died in the 1861-1865 Period. The name of this year's theme is "THE BLUE AND" THE GREY."
It is hoped by the Decorating and the Cotillion Club Committees that all who attend the dance will thoroughly enjoy the festivities and that this dance will measure up to those of the past.
The dance will be lead by Cadet Lt. Colonel Arthur Stern; the as- sistant leaders are Cadet Majors Kenny Legum and Nick Berklich. Fifty-five couples are in the figure. o
Corps Has Fourth Road March
On Saturday, February 15, 1957, the corps had its fourth road march of the school session. This road march was somewhat differ- ent from the preceding three in that the corps made contact with the "enemy". The "enemy" in this case were cadets from Joker Com- pany's heavy machine gun platoon.
Saturday's road march was the longest so far this year. It is ex- pected that the corps will have a road march for drill every Satur- day, weather permitting, until after thc bivouac or over-night patrol operation following Spring Fur- lough.

'OPERATION ORDERLIES OUT' In case you didn't know, "Operation Orderlies Out"
is the official name for the barracks sweep details. The Corps is certainly to be commended for the generally neat order in which the barracks have been kept this session.
Yet, we frequently slip up. Do you ever sweep out on the gallery after the "rat" detail has swept, leaving the gallery or quadrangle cluttered up until the next detail ? Do you "rats" ever forget to sweep those dark corners on the galleries, especially in Kable Hall? Do you ever care- lessly drop refuse—scrap paper, candy wrappers, popsicle sticks—instead of putting them in a trash container? Do you ever take a bottle outside of the Canteen and care- lessly drop it down somewhere? When you are finished with that soft drink container you used during C. Q., do you ever casually heave it out the window, making the sides of the barracks look like a small dump?
The chances are that you—yes, YOU—contribute in some way to a cluttering up of the campus. A small crew of grounds caretakers can't possibly compete with even the thoughtless neglect of several hundred cadets. Let's all be our own orderlies. Let's keep our buildings and grounds neat.
From The Headmaster
1. Cadets are urged to take ad- vantage of the extra school- days, Saturday, February 23, and Saturday, March 9. These two school days provide a very valuable review.
2. It is still possible to obtain per- mission to take the March 16th College Entrance Board exam- inations, but there will be a late registration fee of three dol- lars.
3. Cadets are again reminded of the College Board procedure: (a) Write the Board, Box 592,
Princeton, New Jersey, and request a Bulletin of In- formation and Application form.
(b) Return the form witli the fee plus the extra three dollars for late registration.
4. The May 18 College Board ex- aminations are the practice tests for juniors (11th grade), but others may take them un- der certain circumstances.
5. Thursday afternoon, February 28th, at 3:00 Assistant Dean of Admissions, Robert T. Clap- pier, of the University of Penn- sylvania will visit the Academy.
6. The third quarter examinations will be held March 13, 14, and IS; and the spring furlough be- gins March 22.
College Board Exams February 16, 19S7, was an im-
portant day in the lives of nine cadets here at Staunton Military Academy. Cadets Anderson, Ben- nett, Condo, Czimer, Distefano, Harris, Middleton, Vanderbeck, and Robinowitz took the College Boards last Saturday.
These tests are given to deter- mine the scholastic aptitude and achievements of prospective stu- dents. There are 171 colleges, 24 secondary schools, and many other educational associations which make up the College Board, with two members from each college and four members from the other asso- ciations on the board.

■B J Barry Goldwater
"Barry" Goldwater hails from Phoenix, Arizona; and he holds much pride in being from there. In his freshman year at S. M. A., he was assigned to Company "F" with the rank of private. In the following year he was promoted to the rank of Sgt. and remained in "F" Company. Upon returning to the Academy as a junior, he was promoted to Master Sgt. with the duty of 1st Sgt. of Company "C". This, Barry's senior year, is spent as a Cadet Captain, com- manding Company "C". Barry has received the Military Ribbon all four years.
In his spare time, which has been limited, because of his many activities, Barry served on the Kablegram Staff all four years; this year he holds the position of Sports Editor. He has also found time to work on the Shrapnel in his junior and senior years; he is Business Manager of the Shrapnel. Barry has been serving on the Decorating Committee for four years, and he is presently a mem- ber of the Cotillion Club Commit- tee.
Sports have played a major role in the life of Barry Goldwater for he has shown himself outstanding in this field in many ways. Barry has played intramural football, basketball, and baseball since his first year at the Academy; he has won medals in football and basket- ball. In his first year, the Academy saw that Barry had a great future on the swimming team, especially in diving.
It is no wonder that Barry is the Co-Captain of the SMA swim- ming team. For each of the past three years he has been awarded a varsity letter. He received an All American Award for diving during his sophomore year. In his third year he was awarded the Princeton Individual Diving Tro- phy. He was also selected for the All American Diving Team and for participation in a record break- ing medley relay which made All American. He was also given SMA's Outstanding Member of the Swimming Team Award.
This year it looks as if Barry has a good chance to receive All American honors again. During this busy year he has found time to play on the Varsity football team.
Barry plans to join the Air Force after graduation. Later he expects to attend a western uni- versity.
A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever.—Tup- per.
Books should to one of these four ends conduce, for wisdom, piety, de- light, or use.—Denham.

Courtmen Maintain Htifc* Impressive Record Lose To Strong U. Va. Frosh Team
S.M.A., 114— Shenandoah, 54
In a game played at Shenandoah College on Friday, February 8, the SMA cagemen trounced the Shen- andoah squad by a score of 114-54.
S.M.A., 100— Bridgewater IV, 54 SMA traveled to Dayton, Va.,
on Saturday, February 9, to record its 14th win, defeating Bridgewater College JV handily by 100-54.
The SMA quintet broke up an attempt by their hosts to control the ball and to keep the score down. Numerous "steals" by Mar- tino, Beck and Norris rattled Bridgewater.
By the 3rd quarter all 15 of Coach Pandak's boys were seeing action. Ten of them hit the scor- ing column led by Martino with 26 points, Beck 19 points and Nor- ris 14 points.
U.Va. Frosh, 86— S. M. A., 80
SMA motored to Charlottesville Friday, February 16, and absorbed their first loss of the season. The Cavaliers hit a hot shooting streak and left the court with a 47 to 32 halftime lead. They were led by Adkins and 67" Michelsm.
After the intermission SMA dropped behind by 26 points before Fred Martino took charge and be- gan the comeback trail. However, the charge fell 6 points short as time ran out and left SMA with its sole loss of the campaign. Martino with 27 points, Berry with 24 and Quinlan with 13 led the scorers.
S. M. A., 99— H. M. A.. 61
On February 11, S. M. A. pro- longed its winning streak by de- feating Hargrave Military Acad- emy. The game was all Staunton's from the start. Coach Pandak's cagers limited the visitors to six field goals in the first half. Only when Coach Pandak cleared his bench did the men from Chatham begin to hit from the floor.
Leading the scoring for Staun- ton were Fred Mautino, Lenny Beck and Merm Johnson. Mau- tino scored 21 points. Beck and Johnson scored 20 and 15 points respectively. Mautino also grabbed 21 rebounds.
S. M. A., 101— W. & L. JV. 82
Topping the century mark for the 8th time this season the Hill- toppers, on Saturday, February 16, defeated the W. & L. Jayvees, 101-82. Coach Pandak's cagers boomed back to win their seven- teenth game after their defeat at the hands of the U. Va. Freshmen.
SMA had five men in the double columns. They were led by Mike Quinlan who hit for 11 field goals and one charity shot for a total of 23 points. Mike was followed by Fred Martino who had 21 points and Connie Berry who had 19. Connie Berry and Fred Martino controlled the boards all evening. Lenny Beck and Jack Braddish hit for 17 and 13 points respective- ly-
SMA led all the way and only in the fourth quarter did the visi- tors score easilv.
S. M. A., 86— F. U. M. A.. 57
SMA handed their Fork Union hosts a "bitter pill" when they beat them rather easily for their 16th straight win, 86 to 57 on Wednesday, February 13.
SMA led off quickly, jumping to a 16 to 8 first period lead behind the scoring of Beck and Quinlan. In the second period FUMA scored only 7 points to SMA's 26 as the Hilltoppers played very tight team defense. Martino and Braddish led the defensive unit.
In the second half Coach Pan- dak's lads were content to score on even terms with FUMA and matched field goals for foul shots by FUMA.
The scoring department was led by Beck 22, Berry 19, Braddish 13 and Quinlan 12.
S. M. A., 78— V.M.I.Frosh,76
In a game played at VMI on Monday, February 18, the SMA cagemen edged out the VMI Freshmen by a score of 78-76. o
Blue and Gold CONNIE BERRY and LENNY
BECK have really been showing some hustle on that basketball court. Keep it up, fellows.
Let's have a bigger turnout at these intra-mural basketball games. Get out there and support your company next week.
Track, baseball, and tennis prac- tice is scheduled to begin in a few weeks. Everyone interested should start planning to work out soon.
This year's golf team has start- ed to show some activity now. Good luck to Major Weidinger and the team.
In Carolina The two names that rank high
in college basketball may well be Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain and Lenny Rosenbluth. Much has been written of Chamberlain. But around the campus of SMA "Rosey" is our favorite, for he played here before going to U.N.C. He still holds the all-time school scoring record of 76 points. This has never been threatened. In his sophomore year, "Rosey" had a 25.5 points average. Last year he raised this average to 26.7. Earlier this year he broke the all-time U.N.C. scor- ing record. He is the main reason for North Carolina's 11-0 record and that they are ranked the num- ber two team in the nation.
Almost over-shadowed by Lenny is another great star from SMA. He is Bucky Allen of Duke. Be- fore Christmas he was in the top ten scorers of the nation. Today, he is still one of the top scorers in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Last week Bucky scored 34 points in a game at Durham.
These are only two of the great basketball players to come from SMA. There are many more, they all may not be stars, but they all wore at one time the Blue and Gold of SMA. o

The Jayvee basketball team closed out its season with a highly successful 9-3 record.
After the hard work of practice sessions and the long schedule, it was decided the Jayvees would not be available for any of the post- season tournaments. The charges of Lt. Hampton must now return "to the books" in preparation for tlic forthcoming examinations.
This has been the most highly regarded SMA Jayvee team of re- cent years and congratulations to all its members are in order. These boys have done an outstanding job this season. o

Stern, Saffer, Dean, Goldwater, and Culbreth Set New Records As The Tankmen Win Southern Interscholastic
Eight new meet records were set at Chapel Hill, N. C, on Saturday, February 16, as the SMA Tankmen grabbed four first places and claimed the 11th annual Southern Interscholas- tic prep school Swimming Championship.
Greensboro, who tallied 70 points won the high school trophy and claimed five first places and three new records.
SMA swimmers collected 53 points in defeating their closest rival, Westminster High of Atlan- ta, Ga. This is the fourth year in a row that Coach Dodge's team has brought home the Southern Swim- ming Championship trophy.
New records were established by the tankmen's 200 yard freestyle quartet of Stern, Dean, Culbreth, and Saffer. (1:38.7) The Greens- boro 200 yard medley relay team of Scruggs, Schiffman, Dodson, and Burwell scored with (1:53.4 sec- onds).

Golf Team SMA's 1957 golf team has now
begun organization and practice. Prospects for a rewarding season are good with Berklich, Dean, Haynes, and Cooper returning from last year's team, and Jim Boyd, Jackson, and Lobbestael also show- ing promise. Additional golfers are expected to join soon.
As the weather grows warmer, Major Weidinger hopes to get in a good amount of practice before the first match, which should be soon after government inspection.
This year's schedule is expected to follow last year's closely, with about ten or eleven matches to be played. o

IntramuralBasketball After a short delay in the sch-
edule, the intramural basketball sea- son has resumed. At the beginning of the season the teams were fair- ly well matched, but now that each team has played a few games, it looks as though it will be a toss-up between A and E Companies.
A and B Companies, each who had won twice, met in a decisive game. With the excellent playing of Stanton, the boys of A parted victorious, 19-13. The boys of E Company started the year off on the right foot, but were stopped by A Company. They began to roll again as they defeated F Com- pany, 34-22. Goldsmith and Mid- dleton were high men for E Com- pany. In a few days the cadets witnessed the biggest upset pos- sible. The musicians of the Band outlasted C Company to give them a 23-21 victory.
D Company remained on the same old path as they forfeited their third game to E Company. C Company finally won a game as they defeated the Staff, 19-17. The following day, A Company main- taining their pace, defeated F Com- pany—32-15.
These last few days should pre- sent a great deal of excitement. All A Company has to do is lose one game and E will have a shot at the championship. Good luck.
