It's GI Time Again

SMA has a distinction which all cadets should be proud of—that of being continually designated an Honor Military School by the United States Army, ever since the inauguration of the Junior ROTC Honor School system. However, in order to achieve this distinction, each year's Corps must pass a very stiff inspection made by a team from the Second Army area.

Rooms, weapons, personnel, and training of SMA's Corps of Cadets will be surveyed and inspected by the government. Because of this it is necessary for the Corps to put forth every possible effort in prep- aration.

This year, Government Inspection will be held on Friday, April 13, only nine days following Spring Furlough. With this short period in which to prepare for this im- portant inspection, the Corps will have a very difficult task, hut we have always succeeded to excel and make an excellent showing at the Government Inspections of the past; with the excellent Corps at Staunton this year, we should be able to far surpass the past records of excellence.

In the period leading up to Spring Furlough, and especially during the time between Spring Furlough and Government Inspec- tion, there will he a very strong emphasis upon clean rooms, rifles, and uniforms. This includes prop- erly fitting pants, and well heeled and soled shoes. The members of the Corps arc urged to have these things taken care of in the time leading up to Spring Furlough, thus eliminating the rush at the last minute.

Leading the figure will be Cadet Lt. Col. Daniel D. Hunt, left above, with Miss Sally Thomas of Stuart Hall, and Cadet Major Glenn B. Kalnasy, right above, with Miss Janice Ashton, of Penn State Uni- versity, insert above.

"Airborne Army" Is Military Ball Theme

Staunton will celebrate its Military Ball Weekend this

year by a three day display of special activities, highlighted

by the Military Ball itself, to be held March 2 in the Kable

Gymnasium between nine and one.

Theme of the Ball is "The Airborne Army," and the gym-

nasium will be decorated to carry out this theme. The ceiling

will be canopied by red, white, and blue cargo parachutes,

while the south end of the gym will be draped with personal

parachutes, with a fully equipped dummy in jumping gear.

The bandstand will be canopied with a cargo parachute,

and at the north end behind the receiving line will be the

National Flag, General Conway's

April 13. GI Date

The Military Department has been notified that the Annual ROTC Inspection will be held on Friday, April 13. The afternoons of April 10 and 11 and the full days of April 12 and 13 have been allocated to the Military Depart- ment in order to permit comple- tion of preparations.

guidon, the school flag, and the company guidons. On the side

walls there will be giant sized unit crests of the 82nd and 101st Air- borne Divisions, the only two ac- tive airborne divisions today and maps of the battlefields where the Airborne took an important part in World War II.

The highlight of the Hall will come when the much rehearsed figure is presented by the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Corps at ten o'clock. The figure this year will consist of an S in a salute to SMA: a 62 in trib- ute to the Class of 62; a heart for the sweethearts of SMA; a para- chute in honor of the Airborne Army; and the traditional Arch of Sabers. Also included as part of the presentation will he a short movie on the Airborne Army. The Superintendent's Guard will put on their demonstration at intermission.

The music for this year's Mili- tary Rail will be furnished by the VMI Commanders, offering a very fine selection of dance music.

Music for the Figure will he provided by the VMI Commanders

ilitary Ball Weekend

Changes and new schedule for the annual week-end of dancing and military activities follow. The big week-end will begin Friday afternoon at drill call with a dem- onstration by the 82nd Airborne Division, the nature of which has not been decided. Following, SMA's Howie Rifles and Drum and Bugle Corps will present a program lasting fifteen minutes.

Activities will resume Saturday morning at 10:30 with a review for the purpose of awarding Marksmanship Badges and the Company Marksmanship Streamer. The review will be in honor of the cadets' dates for the Military Ball. This review will be followed by a Corps demonstration of rifle exer- cises.

Since the schedule for the week- end has been revised, there will be a retreat parade on Sunday after- noon at the regular time. This will be the time for the newly

Weekend Plus True, it may be said that the Military Ball and its com-

plementary activities are certainly a weekend plus. In past years the weekend has developed into one of

the year's most gala occasions. Not only is there a dance, but also parades, parades, and more parades. And to be honest, many of the corps feel that there might be too many

parades for just one weekend. The reason: many of us would rather spend the time with our parents (a rarity) or girls than to spend it on the drill field (a constant source of "entertainment").

But to return to our original statement: "a weekend plus"—let's not forget that it is still an enjoyable time. After all, everyone knows how a mother loves to see her son march. Sorry men, it looks like we're doomed. HUT, TWO, THRUP, FOUR! HUT. TWO, THRUP. FOUR!

Headmaster's Notes

March 19, 20, 21, 22 arc part of the fourth quarter. Work so that all grades earned on these days will be good ones.

Cadets who need re-examinations in any of their subjects should make definite plans regarding these re-examinations before Spring Fur- lough starts. The Re-exam date is April 14.

Juniors will take the National Merit Scholarship Test on Tues- day, March 6.

Sophomores and Freshmen will take the National Educational De- velopment Tests on Saturday, 10 March. These are aptitude tests whose results are much used by colleges.

Cadets taking these tests should do their best on them.

Juniors! Make your plans now to take the practice College Board examinations in May. The results of these tests are most helpful in planning for college.

Consult college catalogues about entrance requirements. Remember that meeting the minimum require- ments of any college is not suffi- cient in today's keen competition.

Tt is sometimes good for juniors to visit colleges during the summer preceding their senior year. No student should plan to visit col- leges during his senior year except when on vacation.

It is not too early for juniors to begin planning for their college careers.

U. Va. Open House Planned

All interested Virginia prepara- tory school students have been in- vited to attend the Open House of the Schools of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Virginia April 28.

The school of Engineering will feature a guided tour through the nuclear reactor facility and exhibits llustrating the basic concepts of modern engineering science. There will also be exhibits concerned with the problems of space flight and ipacc engineering.

The School of Architecture will conduct guided tours through the Architectural facilities, and there will be exhibits in architectural history, building construction, city planning, color theory, and design. -o

Sgt. Lambert Reassigned

SFC Donald R. Lambert, ad- ministrative non-commissioned of- ficer of the Military Department, has been alerted for reassignment to Germany. He and his family 're expected to leave sometime in March or April.

If there are any seniors who have not applied for admission to college, they should so so at once. As usual, the Headmaster will be dad to assist any senior with application.

R-O-A-D, Reorganization of Army Divisions, calls for organizing three to five battalions into a division made up of three brigades. On February 13 Lt. Colonel Robert Richters, PMS, received a letter from Colonel Collier, Deputy for ROTC affairs. XXI US Army Corps, directing that the change be made. On receipt of these orders the following order was issued from the office of Colonel Dey:

With Steadham getting into foul trouble, Coach Pandak slowed down the game as only 7 points were tallied by each team. FUMA led 26 to 23 at halftime.

The second period found SMA rolling a little faster as Tom Craig began to find the range with an 11 point total out of 21 in the quarter. Barry Steadham began to control the back boards and Jim Zerilla's playmaking was outstanding. SMA led at intermission 31 to 24.

SMA dropped a heartbreaker to GMS February 17 in its final sea- son scheduled game at Lewisburg. Both teams started quickly, but GMS held the first quarter lead 20 to 18. Steadham and Fisher led the SMA attack.

Tarpons 2nd In 'Southerns'

In the 16th annual Southern In- terscholastic swimming meet, held at the University of North Caro- lina in Chapel Hill on February 17, SMA's Tarpons made a fine show- ing by placing second out of twenty-four teams. First place was won by a fine team from Georgia Military Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.

The meet was very exciting all the way, hut the victor was known practically from the beginning. GMA had qualifiers in almost every event, and with depth like that they were impossible to over- come. SMA was not sitting in the background while all this was going on though. They had qualifiers in every event except the 50 freestyle, the 100 backstroke, and the 100 breaststroke.

Summer School To Open on June 20

Announcement is made that the 12th Annual Summer Session of the Staunton Military Academy will begin on June 20, 1962, and will end on August 1, 1962, with Col. Wilfred B. Webb as Director and ten other faculty members comprising the staff.

Last year's staff had Major Lan- der as Registrar and a faculty which consisted of Lt. Colonel Mc- Cracken, Major Moon, Major Johnson, Captain Case, Captain Eslinger, Captain Wease, Lieuten- ant Walker, Lieutenant Keister, and Lieutenant Vames.

The summer school meets the needs of students who must make up back work in English, mathe- matics, history, and languages, and provides the students with a pre- view of different subjects for the new school year. Typing and Remedial Reading are also offered. The summer school has an inform- al program — no revellies, no formations, and no uniforms. The faculty and the sixty-odd students live in the Junior School Barracks, eat in the Upper Mess Hall, and enjoy Captain Johnson's best meals. Classes are held in Me-

morial Hall. Last year three co- eds attended.

Athletics are an important part of the program; Major Johnson serves as Athletic Director. The swimming pool, one of the finest prep school pools in the South, will be open; the small gym, athletic fields, and tennis courts will also be available. Picnic trips to his- toric and recreation sites in the area will also be organized.

The daily schedule begins with breakfast at 8:00, classes at 8:45, lunch at 1:40, rest hour at 2:30, athletics at 3:30, C.Q.'s at 7:45, and taps at 10:30.

Catalogues and enrollment blanks are available at the Business Of- fice and from Colonel Webb.

New Sgt. Assigned SFC William D. Holmes, pres-

ently assigned to the third Infan- try Battle Group (Old Guard) who perform as the presidential honor guard, has been assigned to the Military Department of the Staun- ton Military Academy. SFC Holmes is expected to arrive at the Acad- emy on March 1, 1962.

Hilltoppers Drop Tourney To FUMA SMA, 52- FMS, 30

SMA drew hapless FMS in the VMSL tourney February 22 and despite a slowdown game attempt to upset the Hilltoppers, the FMS unit was the initial team to leave the tourney.

Starting slowly, with FMS de- liberately holding the ball, SMA led 11-5 at the end of the first quarter. Mike Fisher totaled 9 of the SMA points.

The second canto found Fish- burne outscoring Staunton 8 to 7 to leave the halftime score 18-13 in favor of SMA.

The attempt to slow down the game continued but the Hilltoppers made numerous steals and scored 18 points to Fishburne's total of 7 to lead 36-20 at the third quarter mark. Jim Morgan tallied 8 points and Fisher hit for 6 to lead SMA.

The SMA reserves came on to outscore FMS 16 to 10 in the final canto and advance to the semi- finals in the VMSL tourney.

In the February 23 round Coach Bill Pandak's cagers roared by a tough Greenbrier team who had only the Saturday -before defeated the Hilltoppers.

Playing without the scoring ace and playmaker Jim Zerilla the SMA team fought valiantly against the taller West Virginians. The SMA co-captain suffered from a severe infection that kept him out of the entire tourney.

With Steadham, Craig, Fisher heading the scoring SMA moved out in front of GMS 21-13 in the first quarter.

However, Greenbrier fought back with a terrific fast break that had them outscoring Staunton 15 to 10 in the second quarter to have the halftime score 31-28 SMA.

The third quarter found the Hill- toppers behind the playmaking of Skip D'Alessandro began to break the game open. Skip took over for his roommate Jim Zerilla and was the igniting point the SMA cagers needed. Time after time Barry Steadham and Mike Fisher cleared the boards and also led the scoring as D'Alessandro, Steadham, and Craig scored 6 points each and Fisher 4 to send Staunton ahead 53 to 42 at the three quarter mark.

GMS not giving up continued to battle SMA in the fourth canto, but SMA was winning a game for their ailing captain and were not to be taken. Craig led the 4th quarter scoring as SMA hit 21

FUMA, 54- SMA, 50

In February 24's final round a small valiant Staunton team fell short in their comeback rally in a courageous attempt to upset the tall and lofty FUMA hoopsters.

Staunton started with 5'11 Brig- stock, 6'1 Steadham, 6'3 Fisher, 6'1 Craig, and 5'10 D'Alessandro. FUMA started with 6'5 Abbott, 6'3 Keith. 6'5 Yencho, 6'2 Byrne and S' 10 Greco.

The championship tourney game found SMA hitting very poorly in the first period as they dropped behind 14 to 6 in the first canto. Only 2 baskets were scored by Tom Brigstock and Skip D'Ales- sandro.

However, Coach Pandak's cagers were not disheartened and fought the towering Blue Devils on even terms in the second period as they came back with 15 points to 14 for FUMA. Tom Craig and Barry Steadham began to find the range and SMA trailed 28-21 at half time.

Still not hitting with normal ac- curacy, the "Little Rabbits" of SMA battled and scampered over the floor with Steadham, D'Ales- sandro, Craig, Fisher, and Morgan scoring as they outscored FUMA 16 to 14. This put them behind 41 to 37 at the 3rd quarter mark.

The FUMA five hit quickly in the 4th for 2 baskets as SMA fell behind 8 points. But Staunton charged back and with four min- utes to play Jim Morgan knotted the score at 46 all. Several scor- ing chances for SMA just trickled off the rims as the luckless Hill- toppers could not take the lid off the basket.

With 18 seconds remaining FUMA led 52 to 50 and SMA set

Tarpons Take Three, Drop One

SMA has added three more wins

to its swim record by defeating

Fork Union Military Academy,

Massanutten Military Academy, and

Randolph-Macon Academy. The

one loss came from the fine swim-

ming of the University of North

Carolina club. This gave the Tar-

pons an 11 to 2 record for their

regular season.

The Tarpons came from behind

by winning both relays in one of

the closest meets in years to defeat

FUMA February 6 and raise their

league record to 6-0. The defeat left Fork Union with a 4-2 league record and 14-2 overall, both de- feats being at the hands of the SMA swimmers.

The SMA Tarpons made their second victory over Massanutten February 10 by defeating them 54- 41. Joe Baldridge improved his time in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:08.9.

The SMA swimming team travel- ed February 16 to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to meet their sec- ond defeat of the season against the North Carolina team. The UNC team has always been a great threat to the Tarpons, and this year was no exception. The score was 60-35.

After their weekend loss to UNC, the Tarpons returned to school to pick up their final win of the regu- lar season. The 55-40 victory over RMA February 20 leaves the Tar- pons with an 11 and 2 record for the season. The last meet of the season will be the Military League meet held at the University of Vir- ginia on March 3.
