Vol. 44 Staunton Military Academy, Kable Station, Slaunton, Virginia, Friday. January 20. 1961 x\0.

Scimitar Published

The Scimitar, the Academy's literary magazine, published De- cember 16, is the first of three is- sues to be published this year.

The Scimitar contains stories, es- says, poems, and art work written by members of the cadet corps. This is the fourth year the Scimitar has been published and it will be represented this year at the South- ern Interscholastic Press Associa- tion convention held in Lexington, Virginia by two staff members.

Each edition will be improved and enlarged, says Lieutenant James W. Walker, faculty adviser, but this will only be accomplished when the cadet corps fully support the Scimitar by contributing liter- ary and art work. Cadets are asked by the Scimitar staff not to be dis- couraged by grammatical or me- chanical errors in their writings; the stories are not judged on this basis, but rather on their original- ity and literary value. Cash prizes are awarded for the best published contributions.

The English department has agreed to give credit to those cadets contributing to the maga- zine. Those interested should con- tact their English teachers for de- tails.

James Cain is Editor-in-Chief of the Scimitar. Other staff mem- bers include Robert Landis, Joseph Gimbel, and Charles Dickey, Asso- ciate Editors; Joseph Fontana, Business Manager; Robert Moore, Asst. Business Manager; James Vizethann, Advertising Manager; Maury Covington, Layout Man- ager; James Buijnarowski, Circula- tion Manager; and Harvie Henry, Art Editor. The faculty adviser for the Scimitar is Lieutenant James W. Walker.

CEEB's On Saturday, January 14, the

College Board Examinations were held at Robert E. Lee High School. Approximately eighty cadets from SMA took the exams.

College Head Talks To Corps

Honor School Compets

Each year the service academies have forty positions to be filled by the Honor Schools in the United States. Each Honor School may choose three candidates for each service academy. All candidates will take competitive physical, health, and mental examinations, and only the top people will be chosen to fill the positions.

The candidates from SMA who will compete for these openings are in the process of being chosen. o

Kork, Alumnus John Kork, SMA '56, is a student

at Colorado State University and expects to receive a degree in mathematics this year.

Last summer, he was given a National Science Foundation Un- dergraduate Research Training Program grant and worked at re- search in math.

This year Kork was elected to Who's Who Among American College Students for his work in activities, which included being editor of the campus magazine, president of the Science and Arts Council, and president of the Eng- lish honorary. In a recent letter to Col. Dey, Kork stated that his experience as company commander was a great aid in this area.

He also praised some of his ormer teachers here for awakening n him an interest in their subjects.

Sharpshooters Down W&L

Since the Christmas vacation, the SMA riflemen have occupied them- selves mainly with strenuous prac- tice sessions. There has, however, been one match since the Corps re- turned to school. On January 10 the Washington and Lee freshmen journeyed to Staunton and were defeated by a margin of 158 points: 1406 for SMA to 1237 for the "jun- ior Generals." The SMA scores were as follows: Moss, J.—284; Burke, W.— 283; Rosenberg, J.— 282; Guy, D.—279; Byington, M — 278. The high firer for Washing- ton and Lee was Paul—259.

The Howie Rifles, shown above in review for President Eisen- hower's visit, today march in President Kennedy's Inaugural Parade.

Howie Rifles March In Kennedy Inaugural Parade

At press time Staunton's Howie Rifles are on their way

to Washington, D. C, to participate in the 26th Presidential

Inaugural Parade, hailing President John F. Kennedy's instal-

lation to the highest office in the land. For the second time

in four years the Academy has been honored by an invitation

extended to the school's special drill team to march in the

parade.

The Howie Rifles, consisting of about 65 cadets of high

academic, drill, and conduct rating, left Staunton by chartered

bus about 7:15 A.M. At 1:00 P.M. the "Howies", under the

direction of Cadet Lt. Col. Peter G. G. Sweeting, are scheduled

to form for the parade, which commences about 2:00 P.M.

The parade will continue for about three and one-half hours,

during which time participants will pass the President's re-

viewing stand.

The Howie Rifles will march with the Nebraska contin-

gent this year. Four years ago the "Howies" were with the

Arizona parade entry, at the request of Sen. Barry Goldwater,

an alumnus of SMA.

The Dark Cloud This year, as in every other year, we have returned to

find a very dark cloud hanging over our heads, threatening us with quick destruction at the hands of the Headmaster. Yes, this cloud is the week of exams which are just around the next corner, waiting for anyone who is inadequately pre- pared to pass them. Although this sounds a little dramatic, it is nevertheless true, and unless we are prepared, we cer- tainly shall meet academic destruction.

It could come in two different forms: day, night, and afternoon study halls; or in the extreme cases, the dropping out of school by the victimized cadet. Either form is bad, but the latter is undoubtedly far worse because of the effect it would have upon later lives.

Well, we have been presented with the dark side; now let's look for the silver linings.

For those who pass their exams there will be no study hall- in most cases,—and certainly there will be no dropping out of school because-of utter academic failure. And more- over, there will be no reprisals from home for bad grades; there might even be rewards. However, to attain anything but reprisals, these exams must be taken and passed.

If they are to be taken and passed with a comparative ease, we must study. So if we must, why try to prevent the inevitable. Open those books, and open them now!

Headmaster's Notes

Let each of us resolve to make 1961 a better year for ourselves, our close associates, and our school.

January 31 begins a new quar- ter. Start from the first day and work conscientiously to learn and understand each subject. Good marks will follow regular and sin- cere effort.

Remember, although others may explain work and suggest how to study, you must do the learning.

Did you hear this definition of ignorance? Ignorance is when you don't know anything and some- body finds out. It is your respon- sibility to learn.

Seniors who have not started their application to college, should not delay any longer. Write to the registrar of the college you would like to attend and request a catalogue and applications forms.

College Board Examinations are required by most colleges. These examinations are given again on February 4, March 8, and May 20.

Arrangement to take these ex- aminations should be made now. Write to C.E.E.B., Box 592, Princeton, N. J., and request an application form.

Juniors are encouraged to take the May examinations. Juniors, start making your plans now!

Make a regular check of the academic bulletin board. It fre- quently carries announcements of things you should know.

CLAUDE CLEMSON

Cadet Claude Larry Clemson, whom everybody knows as "Farm- er," holds the rank of cadet first lieutenant with the position of company commander of "B" Com- pany. Clemson entered SMA in 19S8 at mid-year, being assigned to "Echo" Company. In his sopho- more year, Clemson was first placed in "B" Company and then transferred to "D" Company as a corporal. Last year, Clemson's hard work and determination show- ed results as he was promoted to the rank of first sergeant.

Clemson has participated in many of the school functions and activi- ties: Kablegram staff 3-4, Cotillion Club Committee 3-4, Decorating Committee 3-4, and a member in our honorable Howie Rifles. At the same time, he has also been active in sports: Jayvee Track 1, Varsity Track 2, Jayvee Football 2, and four years in Intramural Sports.

Clemson can also be noted for his achievements of awards and ribbons: Military Ribbon, Merit Ribbon, and the distinction of being elected S.M.A.'s "Biggest Hell- raiser" last year in the annual Hall of Fame election. Upon gradua- tion Clemson plans to study Agri- cultural Economics at the Univer- sity of Maryland.

JIM VIZETHANN

Cadet James Thomas Caulfield Vizethann, in his fifth year at SMA, maintains the rank of Cadet Captain in command of the celebrated "Alfa" Company. Jim entered SMA in 1956 as a fresh- man being assigned to "C" Com- pany. The following year, Vizet- hann was transferred to "D" Com- pany as a staff sergeant. In 1958, Vizethann spent a half year at his home town high school in Winter Haven, Florida, but returned to SMA in the last semester. The next year, Vizethann was assigned to the color guard as a sergeant first class.

Being mostly noted for his ath- letic ability and interest, Vizethann has earned most worthily four var- sity letters in football and one in baseball. He may also be com- mended for his hard play and ef- fort in intramural sports.

Vizethann can also be noted for his active participation in the Dec- oration Committee, Cotillion Club Committee, and also being a mem- ber of the Howie Rifle Honor Society. He has also earned the Military Ribbon, Merit Ribbon, and the Commandant's Ribbon. After graduation, Vizethann plans to en- ter either Clemson or Wake Forest University.

Tarpons Take Two In Tank

On Thursday and Friday of last week, the Tarpons thirst for vic- tory was quenched; they downed Massanutten 54-32 and V.M.I. Frosh 51-35.

There were several good times in each of these meets. Probably the most notable, however, was turned in by McMillian of V.M.I, who swam the 100 yard freestyle in 52.9 seconds. This time was fast enough for a new V.M.I, record.

Good showings for SMA were made by Larry Steele, Ned Mar- ion, Tom Shelley, Charles Sullivan, and Fred Corn.

Jayvees Take Two

SMA's J.V. basketball quintet started off the "New Year" right with victories over Massanutten (38-24) and Fishburne (71-49). This brought the J.V.'s record to an impressive 3-0.

Their victory over MMA's J.V. was comparable to their game with North River High. It was slow moving and both teams missed a large percentage of shots. Morgan was high scorer, scoring 17, nearly one-half the team's total of 38. Pie- gari was second racking 12.

Friday's game with FMS's J.V. was a completely different game, showing vast improvement in the team. It was a wide open game, and the J.V.'s were hitting and clicking well. Morgan was again high man in the scoring column with 25. This gives him a three game total of 57 and an average of 19. Edelen and Picgari supplied the remainder of the scoring punch with 16 and 13 respectively. Draper and Davis filled out the "Big Five," while Wallace, Covington, Sinister, Bartley, and Adcox were the main substitutes. o

Hilltoppers Topple Hargrave In Round Robin SMA, 80-HMA. 58 SMA, 84^FMS, 47

SMA ended two days of round robin play Saturday night, January 14, as the only team to win twice —as they crushed Hargrave 80-58 in the nightcap.

The 22-point win was ever so sweet for Coach Pandak and his charges as they had lost their only game of the season to this same Hargrave earlier this month. This was not the same club that took the floor at Chatham in the Hilltoppers first appearance of the New Year. This time they out ran, out rebounded, out shot, and out classed the Orange.

Leading the Hilltoppers to the win that stopped Hargrave's streak at nine were two men with hot hands. Jack Lockwood and Ted Mann both scored 27 points, and the rebounding that Pandak got from these two left nothing to be desired.

The great height that the visitors had to their advantage was of little good as the winners pulled off al- most twice as many rebounds. It was this that led the Hilltoppers in the right direction.

NO RUNAWAY

The game was far from a run- away in the first half. The score was 17-16 at the first period. The 34-30 advantage the Hilltoppers had

HMA, 80- SMA, 71

SMA's winning streak came to a halt when they ran into a hot shooting club at Hargrave, Janu- ary 7. The tall HMA club was battled fiercely on even terms and the score was deadlocked at the halftime 38-38.

Mann and Lockwood were the scoring leaders as Pfersick battled evenly on the boards against the tall Chatham crew. John Thomas was having his best game of the year after recuperating from a knee injury.

The third period spelled the de- feat for Coach Pandak's forces as they got into foul trouble and HMA's Jones hit for 10 points and they outscored SMA 24 to 14 in the quarter to lead 62 to 52 at the third quarter mark.

In the final period SMA battled with a press, but foul shooting kept HMA from losing ground as they gained their seventh straight victory 80-71.

Mann led SMA with 23, while Thomas had 14, Pfersick 13, and Lockwood 10. Jones had 24 for HMA and Duncan 16.

at the half was shaky. However, the team that Coach Pandak brought from the dressing room was as hot as one can get and the Hargrave club was just the oppo- site. HMA scored only seven points in the third and it was at this time that the Blue and Gold put the game on ice.

Mann was hitting from the key on a great one-handed jumper, and Lockwood was driving through to keep the middle honest. This was also the period that small John Thomas came to his own and hit for six points that broke the back of the losers.

Pete Pfersick did a great job on the boards and hold the 6-7 Mike Duncan to only 14 points.

In winning the tilt the Keydets moved back into a tie for first place with Hargrave, and only a defeat of one team or the other will bring about a title winner.

In the early game the Caissons of Fishburne Military School fell short as they lost to the Massanut- ten Military Academy contingent 60-52.

FRIDAY

Hargrave and host Staunton Mil- itary Academy walked off with the bacon in the first night of action in the round robin play at Kable Gym Friday night.

League leading Hargrave, with a 9-0 record, had a rather rough time of things as they scored only seven points in the first period, but came on strong thereafter to down Mas- sanutten 71-59. The losers out- scored Hargrave in the first and last periods, but the strong show- ing the high flying Orangemen put forth in the second and third quar- ters was more than the smaller team could bear.

In the night cap, Staunton, losers only to Hargrave, played with the Caissons of Fishburne only long enough to put the game away and then cleared the bench and ran the clock out. The 84-47 win was only a tune-up for the big battle that would take place in the second game Saturday as SMA and Har- grave squared off for the second time this year.

great height advantage that the Hilltoppers enjoyed was a huge factor in the win, but this array of tall men was on the short end of the measuring stick when they took the floor against Hargrave Satur- day night.

Leading the Fishburne cause was Dick Livingston and Hank Coyner with 17 and 16 points, re- spectively.

SMA, 56- Jefferson Hi, 44

All five starters hit early on 10 out of 15 shots to jump ahead of Jefferson 20 to 9 in the last quarter and coasted to SMA's sixth win of the season. The game was played in Roanoke January 10.

Ted Mann hit for 13 points in the first half, and Lockwood had 9, to give SMA a 34 to 26 lead at the halftime.

The Kablemen covered the Jef- ferson men well in the first period and limited them to only 5 points as SMA moved ahead 45 to 31.

SMA's fast break worked splen- didly on occasions and left the Roanoke team trailing badly. How- ever the tall Jefferson club re- bounded well as they outshot SMA from the field in a number of shots.

The last period found the "Jeffs" outscoring the SMA reserves 13 to 11 and the final score read 56 to 44.

SMA made 22 out of 49 shots, while Jefferson hit 16 out of 64. Mann who had 19 points and Lock- wood with 15 lead SMA.

Staunton doubled the score in the first canto and thus continued on to a surprisingly easy victory over the W&L freshman in the December 15 tilt. Jack Lockwood and Ted Mann led the scoring in the first half hitting 14 and 10 points each. Pete Pfersick led the rebounding and helped a previous 20 point a game man, Martin of W&L.

SMA left the court at intermis- sion with a 36 to 20 lead. In the third period SMA had its best quarter, garnering 21 points to 8 for W&L and led 57 to 28 at the three quarter mark. Mann totaled 11 points himself in the period and was set up nicely on several plays by Jon Barnard and Jim Zerilla.

With the SMA reserves taking over the final canto, W&L out- scored them 11 to 10 and left the final score 67 to 39, SMA's favor.

Lockwood had 23 points and Mann 21 to lead the scorers, while Taylor led with 10 for W&L. This game was SMA's fifth without a defeat.
