Col. Louisell Dies Col. William Charles Louisell,

member of the SMA faculty, died unexpectedly at his home in Woodrow Terrace Apart- ments, Monday evening, Feb- ruary 4. Requiem Mass was

celebrated Thursday, February 7, at St. Francis Catholic Church in Staunton, with burial in Arl- ington National Cemetery.

Col. Louisell first came to SMA in 1932 as Assistant PMS&T under General Alexan- der M. Patch. In 1936, he was appointed to the positions of PMS&T and Commandant.

Col. Louisell left SMA in

1938 to serve on the staff of

General Stillwell; after his re- tirement in 1942 he returned to SMA to serve in various posi- tions until 1952.

Returning to SMA in Septem- ber, 1956, he served on the faculty here until the time of his death.

When Col. Louisell first came to SMA, he served as Assistant Football Coach.

Col. Louisell attended Ala- bama Polytechnic Institute, from which he received the B.A. de- gree.

Col. Louisell is survived by his wife, and his son, Captain W. C. Louisell. His son, Capt. W. C. Louisell, was graduated from SMA and later from the United States Military Academy.

Col. Louisell had been in poor health for the past several years.

Military Ball "57" Preparations for one of the

greatest of yearly festivities at SMA has begun. For more than two weeks, members of both the Decorating Committee and the Co- tillion Club Committee have been planning for the most colorful dance of the year.

It is impossible at this time to disclose full details concerning the occasion, but there are three main points which are now definite. An article in the next Kablegram will disclose all details and information relating to the dance.

The dance will be held on Fri- day night, March 1, in the large gym. Dancers will swing and sway to the soft tones of the Vaga- bonds, who are invited to play for the Military Ball each year.

The figure, which includes the sword bearers of the corps, will take place at ten o'clock; this is the highlight of the dance. The figure will be lead by Cadet Lieu- tenant Colonel Arthur Stern, with Cadet Major Kenneth Legum and Cadet Major Nicholas Berklich as assistant leaders.

The theme, as always, will be some type of military life. Last year's decorations told the ancient and colorful story of "Knighthood in the Days of Old". This year's decorations will tell the story of "The Blue and the Gray."

The Cotillion club recommends that those members of the corps who intend to go to the dance get dates as soon as possible, because neighboring schools will be having dances at the same time. Bids will be available in the Treasurer's Of-

fice.

"Fox" Wins Honor Company

For the month of January, "F" Company, in a close race, won the top spot among the companies. Under the leadership of its com- pany commander, Cadet Capt. Bill Hooks, the cadets of "F" Company worked their way up from the bottom to the coveted first place. Fox Company scored highest in both guards and the P.M.S.&T.'s rating for the month.

Following closely behind "F" Company, the Regimental Band took second place. Then came "D" Company in third place. This was a tremendous improvement for all three of the top companies, who had not this year been in top three positions. Also, this is the first time this year that the Honor Company Flag has been earned by a company in the 2nd Battalion. o

Senior Dues In a meeting at the beginning

of the school year, the Senior Class voted dues of ten dollars. The class hopes to use most of the money toward obtaining a "well known" band for the Final Ball on May thirty-first.

Most of the seniors have either started to save their money for the dues or have already paid them to the class treasurer. The dues are to be paid to Cadet Collier at any time in room 341.

All seniors should pay the dues as soon as possible in order to be elegible for senior privileges.

Howie Rifles March In Inaugural Parade

From the Commandant

Since the Christmas furlough there have been many requests for room changes. Due to the increased enrollment, it has been increasingly difficult to grant such requests. Many requests of such nature have been de- nied. Cadets are reminded that learning to live with persons of entirely different personalities and interests is one of the im- portant phases of a cadet's training at SMA. Cadets who have been refused room changes are asked to consider these fac- tors, and those who are con- sidering requesting room changes are reminded that the deadline for such changes has passed.

Staunton Military Academy Drill Unit Represents The State Of Arizona

Representing the state of Arizona, the Howie Rifles on January 21st, participated in the Inaugural Parade observing the Second Inauguration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. This is the first time in many years that the corps has been honored by representation in the parade.

Leaving the Academy at eight

March of Dimes The three barracks of Staunton

Military Academy got behind the March of Dimes in full swing. The total amount contributed to the drive from SMA was $60. This is considered one of the worthiest of campaigns. March of Dimes has speeded up the production of the Salk Vacine, and it has great- ly aided in new methods of treat- ment for the remaining polio vic- tims.

Lt. Lewis, the faculty officer in charge, has had much experience in this type of work. He would like to thank the corps for their fine participation in the drive.

Twelve New Boys Enter At Mid-Year

o'clock the Howies proceeded to the Capitol City, stopping once to eat the lunch prepared by Colonel Joe. At 12:30 p.m. the chartered buses pulled into the Capitol and the Howies began preparations for the parade. From this point they moved into their starting position. After arriving at this designated position, t: e Howies, while wait- ing for their unit to move off, had the opportunity to view the first part of the parade as it passed.

At approximately 4:20 p.m., a short time after they had started to move off, the Howies were tele- vised by an NBC mobile camera unit. However, due to the limited time allotted to the parade by the television networks, the Seventh Division, of which the Howies were a part, was not viewed on local television stations as it passed in front of the Presidential Review- ing Stand.

At the end of the parade cadets were given leave in the city until 9:00 p.m., at wi'ich time the buses icgan the return trip to Staunton. o

Three Cadets To Take Comoets For West Point

Three S. M. A. Senior cadets have been chosen to take the Honor Military School Competetive Tests for the United States Mili- tary Academy at West Point, N. Y. This is a real honor, because there are only forty appointments given to the honor schools through- out the United States, and Staun- ton Military Academy is one of these honor schools which is en- titled to send at least three cadets to try for this test. Only the ten highest boys will receive appoint- ments to The Point. William Hooks, Peter Pezowics, and Spen- ser Robertson were the selected cadets; they will take the mental and physical exams at the Army Medical Center, in Washington, D. C, on March 14, IS, and 16.

College Bound? Start Planning Early

Reprinted from Charlotte Observer As hundreds of thousands of high school seniors will dis-

cover within the next few months, it isn't easy to get into a good college nowadays.

The tests are tougher, the screening more efficient. Yet, of all the high school graduates who are accepted as

college freshmen, about half drop out before graduating. The question of "why" has long been one of concern for

educators. It still lacks a total answer. But small pieces of the puzzle continue to drop into place with each professional study.

One such survey has now been completed by the Com- mittee on School and College Relations of the Educational Records Bureau.

* * * *

It started from a novel inquiry: What do college fresh- men think about their high school training?

The interviewers questioned 470 boys and girls in 27 leading colleges and universities. The answers disclose a dis- turbing pattern—a struggle for adjustment in a new educa- tional world for which, the youngsters felt, they had been in- adequatel yprepared.

Two of each 10 students found their first year at college highly unsatisfactory.

* * * *

More important, for future college freshmen, the study offers this advice to students now in high school:

(1) Early in your high school career begin planning whether to attend college. Take time to learn about entrance requirements, to consider colleges of different types, and final- ly to select the college where you wish to apply.

(2) Recognize the importance of sound high school work- as a preparation for sound college work. Do not expect to loaf through school and then turn over a new leaf when you get to college.

(3) Make the fullest possible use of the guidance and ad- visory services of the school. Use them both in learning about yourself and in selecting and preparing for a college.

(4) Budget adequate study time from the start. Once you fall behind you will have trouble straightening out. > ou will be up against some stiff competition and some high stan dards. Learn to evaluate both without hesitation.

(5) Give the college a chance to furnish helpful guidance for adjustment. Know what resources the college offers and take advantage of them. An academic, personal or vocational problem will probably be of concern to someone on campus besides your room-mate.

In each of the five tips is sound counsel for the somedav college freshman. All will help him get into a good school— and to stay there.

From The Headmaster

1. Re-examination marks do not become a part of honor rolls. Honor rolls are published at the end of each semester.

2. Cadets are reminded that each one must be attending four academic classes daily. Any cadet with fewer classes should see the Headmaster.

3. All cadets are reminded that they cannot transfer to a non- college preparatory course during their senior year.

4. Only cadets on an excused list (seniors, officers, etc.) need not attend day study hall. It is the responsibility of the cadet to know his own status and to govern himself accordingly.

5. Seniors are reminded that passing their present military science course is a prerequi- site for graduation.

6. All 1957-58 midyear graduates are reminded that they arc not "seniors" until September 1957.

7. Seniors are urged to make sure that their present course qualifies llicin for graduation. If you have ever failed a quarter, make certain you have made up the work.

S. Application forms for the March 16 College Board Ex- aminations should be request- ed from the C.E.E.B., Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey, at once. These forms, with the proper fee, must be sent back to the Board not later than February 22, 1957.

9. Refer to the college catalogue or to your direct instructions (if any) from the college

The Editors

James Condo Jim, as he is known to many

cadets, hails from a town in New Jersey called Ruritan. In his four- th year at the Academy, he is presently the company commander of "B" Co. This company has won "Honor Company" several times this year.

Upon arrival Jim was assigned to Co. "E" as a recruit; in his second year he was promoted to the rank of Sgt. and remained in "E" Company. L'pon returning the following year, Jim was promoted to the rank of Master Sergeant with the principal duty of 1st Sgt.; he was also transferred to "B" Co. Jim is now a Cadet Cap- tain, the commanding officer of "B".

Condo has won many awards during his time at S. M. A.; he holds the Headmaster's, Military, and Merit Ribbons.

Jim Condo has also demonstrated his ability in sports, having parti- cipated in Intramural Football, Basketball, Softball, and J. V. Football. This year he was chosen Co-captain for one of the J. V. games. He "lifts weights" during some of his spare time. He is a member of Howie Rifles and the Decorating Committee of the Co- tillion Club. This year he is also serving on the Cotillion Club Com- mittee.

Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, is Jim's choice for college. His smiling personal- ity has won him many friends through the years, as it will do in the future. o

Varsity Squad Keeps Perfect Record

Cagemen Pile Up Twelve Straight Wins SMA, 66—MMA, 64

SMA's Varsity Basketball con-

tingent moved into Woodstock

January 16 and brought their un-

blemished record home intact after

a spirited uphill struggle. The

Hilltoppers came from a 12 point

deficit at halftime to defeat the

previously undefeated Massanutten

team 66 to 64. Connie Berry led

the attack, with a tremendous sec-

ond half effort, with 21 points; he

was ably assisted by Mike Quin- lan's 16 points and Terry Norris's 17 points.

Jack Braddish returned to the basketball picture after an appen- dectomy and abetted a tremendous job of rebounding by Fred Mar- tino.

It was an entire team effort by Coach Pandak's cagers and left him thoroughly pleased, if not a bit restless until the final horn. The win gave the Quintet a streak of six wins, two of them in the military circuit.

SMA 104—HMA 73 SMA traveled to Chatham, Vir-

ginia, to lengthen its winning streak to seven games, Saturday, January 19. Their heavy artillery bombarded the nets for a 104 to 73 win over Hargrave.

Thus far Coach Pandak's cagers have been successful through bal- anced scoring and good rebound- ing. Assists by Braddish, Mar- tino, and Johnson have been con- tributing factors in the team's suc- cess.

At Hargrave, SMA shot 14 for 14 foul shots in the 1st half and had an excellent 28 for 34 game total. This, coupled witli their field goal accuracy and good de- fense, spelled defeat for HMA. This was the third straight mili- tary win for SMA.

SMA. 92—FUMA. 57 On January 26 S. M. A. de-

feated Fork Union Military Acad-

emy 92-57 in a game played at

Staunton. F. U. M. A. is the de-

fending champion of the Virginia

Military League.

The victory was the Hilltoppers eighth win. They took an early lead and remained ahead the rest of the way.

F. U. M. A. grabbed an early four-nothing lead, but Connie Berry with a jump shot and Terry Nor- ris with two free throws tied the score. Then Berry sent S. M. A. out front with six straight points.

Berry was the big gun for the Hilltoppers. He not only took top scoring honors with twenty-six points, but was credited witli twenty-six rebounds.

Staunton played its best game off the back-boards. Berry and Fred Mautino swept them well, keeping Fork Union's big men al- most idle.

The visitors hit for only twenty of seventy-two goal attempts. Staunton hit for thirty-seven of eighty-eight shots from the floor.

After F. U. M. A. had lost its lead Berry and Mautino combined to open up a 12-4 lead. By the end of the first period Staunton had grabbed a 20-10 lead, and Fork Union never got any closer than 10 points. At the end of the half S. M. A. lead 41-22.

S. M. A. had 3 players besides Berry in the double column. They were Norris with 16, Mike Quinlan and Jack Braddish witli 14 and 13 respectively.

While Berry was the sparkplug, it was a team victory the entire way. An example of this was the play making of Braddish and Quinlan. Braddisli had 7 and Quinlan had 5 assists.

Balanced scoring and team plaj- led Coach Pandak's squad to vic- tory.

SMA. 88—MMA. 72 S. M. A.'s best basketball team

in a long time won their ninth straight game of the season. This was won only after a hard fought game with Massanutten here Tues- day, January 29. They won by the score 88-72.

M. M. A. held a 19-18 lead at the end of the first period. Then Freddie Mautino and Connie Berry began dominating the rebounds and the defense lead by Jack Braddish and Mike Quinlan held M. M. A. to 9 points in the second quarter.

Again it was the team balance of Coach Pandak's quintet that en- abled the victory. With Berry hav- ing a rough first half Mautino, Beck and Quinlan carried the load. Lenny led all scorers with 22 points. Mautino had 19 and Quin- lan and Braddish had 14 and 11 respectively. Berry started slow- having only one field goal in the first half. He came back to score 10 points in the next half for a total of 13 points.

Staunton now leads the Military League with a 5 and 0 record.

SMA. 102—GMA. 100 SMA's Basketball Team ran its

streak of victories to ten straight here February 2. Coach Bill Pan- dak's Cagers eked out a thrilling 102-100 win over once-beaten Greenbrier.

Staunton trailed 25-19 at the end of the first quarter. They came back to outscore the visitors in the last two frames.

The high man for the Hilltop- pers was Connie Berry with 36 points. He hit for 13 field goals and 10-10 at the foul line. Berrv's

Coach Pandak The cadets at SMA enjoy many

sports, but basketball is one of the most exciting and enjoyable. Right now, we have one of the best prep school basketball coaches in the business, Coach Bill Pandak, who i ras been coaching our team to winning success for three years. He believes in short, hard, but quick moving practices.

Born in McKees Rocks, Penn- sylvania, Lt. Pandak attended high school at Rochester, Pennsylvania, where he played basketball, base- ball, and football. His school teams won county and district champion- ships in basketball and football. Coach Pandak was an all round sportsman from the start. Grad- uating second in his class from high school and passing the Naval Aptitude Test, he was sent by the Navy to Beti'any College in West Virginia, The University of Pitts- burgh, in Pennsylvania, and the University of Virginia. He starred in basketball at Bethany, the team winning the district championship. He was captain of this team. Upon leaving Bethany, he played a great deal of basketball at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh. Coach Pandak then finished his schooling at the University of Virginia, where he was also captain of the basketball team, which won the state basket- ball championship two years in a row. He also played four years of baseball, playing third base and center field, at Virginia. His out- standing ability did not go un- recognized, as he was presented the Sidney Young Award for ex- cellence in academic work and out- standing ability in the field of sports. Upon finishing school, Lt. Pandak served as a naval officer, leaving a fine military record be- hind him when he was discharged.

It was then that he entered the coaching profession. He started his career at Conway Junior High School in Pennsylvania, producing a champion team. He then came to SMA and developed a winning- team his first year by driving the team to win the 1955 State Mili-

tary Championship in basketball. His players have become outstand- ing college stars. He has also helped coach football and baseball at SMA and has done a great job in building up the morale of the players. Last year he was a big factor in the winning of the state championship in football.

Coach Pandak teaches History 3 and 5.

36 points is the high for a player in a single game this year. Berry was followed by Lenny Beck who had 12 goals and 4-7 for 28 points. The other two players in the twin figures were Fred Mautino and Mike Quinlan. They had 15 and 14 points respectively.

The score had been taped at 77- 77 as the buzzer sounded the end of the third period. The lead changed hands six times in the fourth, but Mike Quinlan and Fred Mautino teamed up to put the Hill- toppers ahead with 2:15 remaining.

Have You Noticed?

Have you noticed the red and

white flag hanging on the southern

wall of the mess hall? At one

time or another almost every cadet

must have seen it. The flag has

not been hanging on the wall just

for decoration alone; it has a little

history behind it. One would not

think that a white flag on a red

background with the number 2750

in the center and 41 blue and gold

stars around the number could hold much significance in the history of the academy, but it does. The making of the flag was supervised by Col. Dey, who, at the close of World War II, was the Alumni Secretary for the Academy. The number 2750 in the center of the flag represents an approximate number of soldiers in the Second World War who, at one time or another, had attended SMA; the gold stars represent the 60 alumni who died in the conflict. When you are in the mess hall again, look at the flag and take pride in it.

Jayvees Win Two, And Lose Three

SMAIV,48—FMS,39 Tuesday, January IS, the Jayvee

Basketball Team gained a 48-39 win over the Fishburne Military School J. V. Team on the victor's home court.

The game was an exciting con- test with never more than six points separating the teams until Garrett and Cy Painter hit con- secutive buckets and SMA pulled to a 11 point lead with about three minutes to play.

The reserves took over with about three minutes left and salted the game away by containing the Fishburne offense the rest of the way.

Guy Minot, Larry Oyler, Cy Painter, and Luther Garrett were the main guns for SMA.

SMA JV. 43— Boys Home, 45

On Friday, January 18, the Boy's Home Team from Covington, Vir- ginia, handed the SMA JV basket- ball team its first defeat of the season. The Junior Hilltoppers won their first four games before bowing 45-43 to the Boy's Home.

Paced by the 14 points apiece of Lavander and Bob Caviness, the visitors staved off a determined fourth quarter splurge by the home team to eke out their win.

Luther Garrett with 11 points and Larry Oyler and Guy Minot with 9 each led the local attack that out scored the scrapping Boy's Home 16-7 in the final quarter but were still two points shy at the final buzzer.

SMA IV. 57— FUMA, 61

Saturday, January 19, the J. V. Basketball team, from Fork Union, defeated the Staunton Jayvees 61- 57. Coates, Wood, and Jelus led the scoring parade for the visitors.

Again Oyler, Collins, and Guy Minot sparked a belated drive which fell short.

SMA IV. 40— Boys Home. 36

Monday, January 28, the Staun- ton Jaycees journeyed to Coving- ton, Virginia, and avenged an earlier defeat by the Boy's Home. Charlie Collins led the Junior Hill- toppers with 15 points as they stayed ahead 40-36.

SMA IV. 40— FUMA. 60

Saturday, February 2, the Jay- vee Basketball team lost again to Fork Union J. V. team 60-40. Staunton limited its larger, taller hosts to just three points the first quarter but fell apart on defense thereafter to the point that the offense couldn't catch the demand- ing lead built up by Fork Union. Guy Minot was about the only of- fensive threat SMA presented as he scored 15 points, Bill Scott dropped in 9 points for his first outing with the Jayvees. o

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Barry Goldwater Barry Goldwater came to the

academy as a freshman, and lias lettered in swimming every year. Barry comes from Phoenix, Ari- zona, about which most everyone has heard him talk. This year Barry is co-captain of the swim- ming team and is doing a fine job. Barry swims the 200 yard free style, but his speciality is diving. While at S. M. A. Barry has won many honors in diving. For the past three years he has been tin- Southern Interscholastic champion, and last year he won the Princeton Individual dive trophy while com- peting against some of the top divers in the country. Another feat of Barry's is that he has been chosen to be on the AU-American swim team for the past two years, There seems little doubt that Bar- ry will be chosen to the All- American team this year in view of his past performances.

Barry plans to join the Air Na- tional Guard next year, and the following; year he plans to attend Colorado University and take up Business Administration.

"Sharpshooters"Edge Massanutten M. A.

January 30, a rifle team fired a match against Tucson Higli School, of Arizona, and Catalina High School, of California. It sounds hard to believe, doesn't it? Actually, each team fired the match at its school and sent the results to a designated headquarters where the targets will be graded and tin- results sent to each team. Thes results have not been received, as of yet, but S. M. A.'s team did well and is confident.

A week ago, February first, the most of the rifle team traveled north to Woodstock, Virginia, to fire a match against Massanutten Military Academy. S. M. A.'s "Sharpshooters" edged out M. M. A. by approximately 19 points. The team high scores are as fol- lows:

Collier 277 Haynes 266 Goldwater 262 Sol _ 261 Schonenberg 258

SMA. 95 — U. Va. Frosh 73

SMA defeated the University of Virginia Freshmen by a score of 95-73 in a thriller played Wednes- day, February 6 at Staunton.

Connie Berry Connie hails from Spartanburg,

S. C, where he attended Spartan- burg High School. Connie was a great end on our football team this year, and has proven to be even a better man on the basket- ball floor. Connie is a "triple threat" man, as he participates in football, basketball, and baseball and is outstanding in all of them. He was named to the second All State Football Team this season while playing for SMA. The year before, while attending Spartan- burg High School, he was named to the National High School Team. Connie was also on the All-Amer- ican Basketball Team. He ob- tained this honor while playing ball back in S. C. He has been named to this team for three years. It is very easy to under- stand this, for he holds the scor- ing record for high school basket- hall in S. C. Good luck in the years to come, Connie.
