MAJOR STUDENY EXPRESSES THANKS

Major Josef Studeny, SMA Bandmaster, wishes to express his sincerest thanks to all who visited him during his recent illness.

Royal Virginians To Play At Formal

On March 4, the most colorful dance of the year, The Military Ball, will be held fn the large gym of North Barracks from 9 P.M. until 1 A.M. The music will be supplied by the Virginians, who have made excellent performances at past formals held here.

The decorations for the dance are going to be very elaborate. The traditional flags will be used, and Cadet Tom Britt and workers are working on decorations to carry out the theme of the dance, which is to recognize and honor the Six Army Areas of the United States.

Smoking regulations will be car- ried out as they were in the small gym for the "Post Exam Hop." All smoking will be cofined to the canteen corner with all cigarettes being put in the recepticals pro- vided. The smoking regulations must be carried out or all smok- ing will be prohibited at coming dances.

Preceeding the dance a buffet dinner will be given in the library for the staff, faculty and their families.

Col. Moody To Have Operation

Col. Reuben E. Moody, faculty adviser to the Kablegram, has been in the University of Virginia Hospital at Charlottesville for an eye operation.

Col. Moody, who was graduated from Wofford College at Spartan- burg, South Carolina where he was editor of the monthly maga- zine and associate editor of the year book, came to SMA in Sep- tember of 1916. He became facul- ty adviser to the Kablegram in the spring of 1919 and has published it as we know it today, continually

ever since.

Preparation For G.I. To Start Next Monday

It has recently been announced by the office of the PMS&T that Government Inspection will be on or about April 26. Rifle exercises will start on February 14 at desig- nated drill periods and continue through March 14. The Regimen- tal Commander is designated as officer in charge. The exercises will be conducted on Echols Field. Warm-up and conditioning exercises will start at reveille Monday, February 14.

Special classes of not more than 25 students each will be selected from those students having the highest averages in military science at the end of the third quarter.

A tall Fork Union Military Acad- emy basketball five fell to a spirit- ed Staunton team 55-49. This game put the Hilltoppers in a commanding lead for the State Military League championship.

The first quarter ended with Staunton leading 12-7, and at the half SMA still lead 28-24. How- ever, the game was tied several times, but FUMA could never get ahead of Staunton.

The tilt was a defensive spec- tacle rather than an offensive one. There were only 20 fouls called during the entire game, and had not Fork Union been over anxious in the last minutes, the game might have ended differently. Fork Union was within one point of SMA, but its J. P. Vass fouled Bruce Erb, who immediately swished both fouls through. That gave SMA a three point lead.

Staunton was out heighted but not out-rebounded. Its Buddy Holleman and Vic Huggins staged a rebounding feud with FUMA's six foot seven inch center "Whitey" Wilson. Bruce Erb and Wilson were high for the night with 21 points. They were followed by John James and Johnnie Burgwyn both of Staunton with 10 points apiece. o

Wasting Time

Rogue's Gallery

Time is one of the most precious and fleeting things in the

universe. Every step we take, every action we perform, is de-

pendent upon time. However, none of us take full use of the time which is allotted to us, a mistake which often spells catastro-

phe. Actually, all of us have spare moments which could be put

to constructive use, but we never do it. If we were to make a

schedule of our activities throughout the day, we would find

ample time for everything, work and play, if our time was only

properly used. To waste time is almost a sin, for we are only

on earth a limited time, and it is necessary, in order to be suc-

cessful, to obtain the best results in the time alloted to us. There-

fore, let us all try to allot our time to specific things, and make

life the pleasure it can be when there is no rush and hurry. D. L. W.

Is Your Heart In It? How many people in this country work all week at a job

which they despise in order to enjoy themselves over the weekend?

To those of us who must soon decide upon a career, this question

is extremely pertinent.

Let us assume that you have decided to major in business

administration. You have applied to a good college and are guid-

ing your preparatory work toward the course previously mention-

ed. Possibly business statistics rather bore you, but you shrug

philosophically and say, "So what? There's good money in busi-

ness administration." Does a large salary compensate for the fact

that yon may have deprived a civilization of a talent smothered

deep inside you? Of course, we all haven't a talent, but there is

not a man alive who is not capable of doing something which is

both useful to humanity and a joy to himself.

We do our best when we enjoy the work. Have you ever

noticed that great athletes appear to be in love with their sports ?

Lou Gehrig once remarked that he would rather play baseball than

eat. It is this spirit which helped make him one of the all-time

greats. Why not select a vocation that we enjoy? Since necessity

rules that most of us have to work during the greater part of our

waking hours, why not be happy the majority of the time? We

don't have to be artists or authors to love our jobs. Every form

of employment has many enjoyable aspects; some people prefer

the associations with working acquaintances, while others may run

the full gamut of esthetic emotions. If we look forward to our employment with real eagerness, we reduce errors, learn faster, judge more wisely, and, in general, become more efficient.

We don't have to go into the fields sanctioned by our friends. They aren't the ones who have to do the job. The important thing is to choose a vocation which you enjoy and will still enjoy after twenty or thirty years of experience. The problem arises in choosing the vocation. Although scientific tests have been de- vised as an aid in discovering hidden resources of ability, the real decision must come from inside one's own conscience. No one can tell us what we like to do; and when we finally decide upon some line of endeavor, we must be absolutely certain that we have chosen correctly. How sad must be the plight of the man who, upon receiving an award for twenty-five years of faithful service, can only think, "I've chosen the wrong profession!"

Finally, God placed each one of us upon this earth with a specific mission. When we discover that mission, it will be one of great personal joy, and one which will accomplish good for society. These are the two means by which we can recognize it. Should we fail to find it, we would have been better off never to have lived in the first place. Before' you choose your profession, be sure your heart is in it!

From The Headmaster

As It Might Have Been

In a recent interview with Col- onel Pence, Headmaster S.M.A., a Kablegram staff member was given the following quotation from a let- ter written by a former cadet. It speaks for itself and is given here verbatim without comment.

"I realize now what a tool I was for not studying when I was at S.M.A. If I only studied I wouldn't be in such a mess. When I was attend- ing Staunton I never dreamed things would be so bad. I hope I can get the chance to show that I realize my mis- takes. I am praying to God that somehow, somewhere, I will be given that needed sec- ond chance."

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 aca- demic classes daily. Any cadet with fewer classes should see the Headmaster.

3. All cadets arc reminded that they cannot transfer to a non-col- lege 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 him- self accordingly.

5. Seniors are reminded that passing their present military sci- ence course is a prerequisite for graduation.

6. All 1955-56 midyear graduates are reminded that they are not "seniors" until September, 1955.

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

8. Application forms for the March 12 College Board Examina- tions should be requested 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 18, 1955.

9. Refer to the college catalogue or to your direct instructions (if any) from the college when decid- ing which examinations you are to take.

10. When in doubt, if in addi- tion to the morning aptitude- test the afternoon achievement tests are required by the college, take Eng- lish and two other subjects. These other two should be chosen from this year's course.

11. It should be remembered that

Robert Jenkins Cadet Captain Robert Jenkins

needs no introduction to the Corp in general. One of the more popu- lar cadets on the Hill, "Red" Jenk- ins is known to everybody. Red made his way up to the Hill three years ago from his home in El- berton, Georgia.

"Red" has been with "C" Com- pany since he came to SMA three years ago. Last year he held the position of Sergeant First Class in that company, and this year he is company commander.

In other phases of school life Bob has managed to take part in numerous extra-curricular activi- ties. For three years now he has played on the varsity football squad, and this year for his out- standing work on the SMA team he received a berth as center on the All-State Second Team. When not out on the field itself, Red offers his support as manager of the baseball team.

Red has not decided yet where he will attend college, but it could easily be Georgia Tech. o

SMA Jayvees Defeat Fork Union, 62-35

"Skip" Lennon, from Hot Springs, burned the nets for 37 points as Staunton Military Acad- emy's Junior Varsity five defeated Fork Union Military Academy's J.V.'s 62 to 35 Wednesday after- noon. Lennon hit for 17 field goals and made three of five free throws for his total of 37. Fork Union led 17 to 15 at the end of the first quarter, but S.M.A. tightened its defenses in the second stanza and held the visitors to only two in that period, while the locals col- lected 16 points to take a firm grip on the lead.

In the third quarter S.M.A. made 14 points to Fork Union's 2 to widen their lead and put the game on ice. Bob Pardue was high man for the Blue Devils with 11 points. Second high man for S.M.A. was Ken Legum with 8 points.

all college entrance negotiations are between the student and the college, but the Headmaster is al- ways glad to advise and assist.

March 12.

Third quarter examinations, March 17, 18, 19.

Tankers Win Fourth Straight Meet; Netters Edge Out Massanutten 63-62 Zwicker Again Breaks SMA Pool Record In Winningl50Yd.Ind.Med

Staunton Military Academy's swimming team continued its winning ways this afternoon by defeating a strong High Point (N. C.) High School team, 47 "to 26.

SMA's prep-school All-American, Jeff Zwicker, turned in the two best times of the day, winning both the 100 yard freestyle and the 150 yard individual medley. Zwicker's time of 1 :40.7 in the individual medley—a grueling race in which each contestant swims 50 yards breaststroke, 50 yards backstroke, and 50 yards freestyle—established a new pool record, and he also turned in the excellent time of 53.5 sec. in the 100 yard freestyle.

In the day's closest race, High Point's Younts edged out SMA's Marks by a matter of inches in the 100 yard backstroke event.

High Point's only other first place winner was Kukman in the 50 yard freestyle.

Barry Goldwater Jr., won the diving event to remain udefeated in dual meet competition for the past two years.

Todays victory was SMA's four- th straight of the season.

J.V.'s Defeat FUMA and FMS

Following the steps of the varsity, the J. V.'s are yet to be defeated in military league com- petition. The J. V.'s defeated Fork Union 49-33 at Fork Union. "Skip" Lennon was high with 23 points. FUMA's Christman and Pardue had 11 points each.

The next victim was the Fish- burne Military Academy J. V.'s, who fell 47-29. Ken Legum and "Skip" Lennon each had 10 points apiece for SMA, while F.M.S.'s Stalling had 10 points.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Barry Goldwater fohnny Burgwyn

Barry Goldwater is well known by anybody who has ever been a spectator at one of our swimming meets. Barry, who is noted for his diving, is also one of our best distance men. This has been proved by the fact that in two of our three meets, Barry has placed first in not one but two events. In all three meets, however, he has displayed his superb diving and won a first in that event every

time. Barry, who hails from Phoenix,

Arizona, came to SMA in his Freshman year, and this is his sec- ond year on the team. After grad- uating from here he hopes to join the USAF.

Johnny Burgwyn isn't a new- comer to the sports fans in this part of the country. He's pretty well known for the name he made for himself on this year's football squad. Johnny has proved himself to be one of our team's sparkplugs and most effective point-makers on the basketball court. With such scores as 24 points against Har- grave Military Academy and 21 points against Massanutten Mili- tary Academy, he won't be forgot- ten by our opposing teams for a good while yet to come.

Johnny, whose home town is Jackson, North Carolina, has at- tended Jackson High School and Woodland High School, where he received two varsity letters at each. So far, Johnny is undecided about college.

Greenbriar, VMI, Woodberry Forest Lose To Netters

Staunton Military Academy has won its last five games putting its overall record at 9 wins and 2 loses. After dropping a 92-85 de- cision to the VMI "Rats", Staun- ton has defeated Greenbriar, Mas- sanutten, Fork Union, Woodberry Forest, and the VMI "Rats".

The SMA-Greenbriar game end- ed 83-82 in favor of the Hilltop- pers. This game was by far one of the most exciting of the year, for throughout the entire game the score kept changing hands time after time. High scorers for the game were SMA's Buddy Holle- man and Bruce Erb with 24 and 22 points respectively. Green- briar's Groll and Herpsberger had 21 apiece.

SMA gained sweet revenge for the defeat inflicted upon them by the VMI "Rats". VMI had de- feated SMA 92-85 earlier in the year, but the second game was a different story. When the final whistle blew, the score was SMA 92, VMI 52. Bruce Erb led the scoring parade with 25 points. He was followed by Capt. Johnnie Burgwyn, Vic Huggins, and Bud- dy Holleman with 13, 13, and 12 points respectively.

Woodberry Forest School came close to pulling an upset over Staunton, but the Hilltoppers came out on the long end of a 52-46 score. Buddy Holleman and Johnnie Burgwyn each had 13 points for Staunton. Johnnie James of SMA and Tommy James of W.F. were high for the after- noon with 19 points each. The score at the half was SMA 24, W.F. 23.

Rifle Team Wins Last Four Matches

The Staunton Military Academy rifle team has won its last four matches. On January 20, Staunton defeated Greenbriar Military School 1320 to 1272. Norman Bell was high for SMA with 270. Fish- burne Military Academy fell on January 22, by a score of 1317 to 1300. This time John Bird was high with 270 out of a possible 300. At a triangular meet SMA defeated both Hargrave Military Academy and Massanutten Mili- tary Academy. MMA had 1307, Hargrave 1248, and SMA 1323. Hargrave and Massanutten were not competing against each other, but against Staunton. Therefore the victory is considered a double one. Again Bell paced the victors with 277.

Hemp's Jump Shot In Final Three Seconds Is Clincher

Joe Hemp put in a jump shot with 3 seconds remaining in the ball game to give Staunton a 63-62 victory over Massanutten Military Academy. SMA had a 5 point lead with a minute and a half remaining to be played. However, Massanutten's Butz hit on a set shot, and Thergeson stole the ball and went in for a layup. Butz made two fouls and Massanutten was leading 62-61. SMA shot three times with about 20 seconds remaining and missed on all three, then Erb passed to Hemp, who immediately put it in. The final buzzer rang as the ball was going through the hoop.

With this win, Staunton has de- feated every military school lea- gue at least once. Massanutten has fallen twice. If things keep up as expected, the military league championship will be decided at Fork Union when Staunton goes there.

Johnnie James was high for the Hilltoppers with 19 points. Bruce Erb followed with 14. However, the tremendous rebounding job done by Buddy Holleman and Vic Huggins was by far the important factor in victory.

Time after time Holleman and Huggins came up with much need- ed rebounds.

With this victory SMA has now a record of nine wins and two de- feats. The only two defeats com- ing at the hands of two college freshman teams.

IEILDIE lEIOiLD

Tankers Defeat Granby, 47-27

The tankers beat a strong Gran- by High School team here the 29th of January 47-27 for their third straight win. The Hilltoppers looked strong in their best per- formance of the year with Barry Goldwater and Jeff Zwicker each winning two events. Goldwater shined in the diving, and then bounced back to win the individual medley.

Zwicker won the 50 and 100 yd. freestyle, while Co-captain Larry Marks turned in his best perform- ance of the year, winning the 100 yd. backstroke in 1:09.4.

Lee Lawrence gained another first place for the cadets by winning the 200 yd. freestyle.

Granby's Tom Plymale was out- standing in the 100 yd. breast stroke with a time of 1:07.5. The only other first place for the visi- tors was in the 150 yd. medly re- lay in which Plymale, Hoerner, and Owens teamed together to hit 1:25.9. o

SMA Tramples Hargrave With Erb Makimr 37

Paced by Bruce Erb, Staunton Military Academy rolled to a 73 to 48 victory over Hargrave Military Academy Tuesday afternoon to re- main undefeated in prep school competition.

Erb's 16 field goals and five foul markers easily made him high man for the day with 37 points. Missing only one shot from the floor in the second half, the Pater- son, N. J., lad racked up a re- markable shooting accuracy mark of 57 per cent.

Hargrave boasts three players who stand over six feet six inches, but in spite of their height ad- vantage they were never able to effectively control the backboards.

Staunton's Buddy Holleman got 19 rebounds, and Vic Huggins, a six foot three incher, who drew the unenviable task of guarding Hargrave's six foot ten inch Gil- bert Gates, did an outstanding job in holding Gates to seven field goals, and in keeping rebounds away from the towering Gates.

Hargrave's Olin Broadway col- lected five field goals and eleven free throws for a total of 21 points and high man honors for his team. MIUII11IIIIIIII MM IIII11 lllll IIIIIIII11111IIIIIIII 111 IIII11111III'^

Jeff Zwicker Beats Record At SMA Meet

Jeff Zwicker toppled his own pool record in the individual med- ley Wednesday afternoon as Staun- ton Military Academy's tankmen took their fifth straight victory in defeating the V.M.I. Freshmen, 51 to 23. Zwicker's time of 1:38.7 in the 150 yard individual medley bettered by two seconds his old mark set against High Point High School last Saturday.

S.M.A.'s other Ail-American prep-school performer, Lee Law- rence, took first place in the 200 yard free-style with the good time of 2:09. The biggest surprise of the afternoon came in the diving event, when V.M.I.'s Jack Payne nosed out Staunton's Barry Gold- water Jr. Prior to Wednesday's meet, Goldwater has been unde- feated in dual meet competition. V.M.I.'s only other first place was in the 150 yard relay.
