Change in Sideline Rule Most Important Of Present Season

Penalty For "Clipping' Lessened From 25

to 15 Yards

is

The most important change in the football playing code for this season

easily is the new rule by which the ball is moved in ten yards from the sideline every time it is downed closer than

that to the boundary. Heretofore only when the ball went

out of bounds over the sideline was it brought in, the distance then being fifteen yards, whereas a ball which be- came dead near a sideline was put in play from that spot. That almost invariably meant the loss of the succeeding down. A gain was practically

impossible and the team with the ball deliberately ran it out of bounds in order to gain leeway for succeeding

plays. The only other change of import-

ance in the code is the broadening of the definition of "clipping," so that blocking by running or diving into the back of a player who is not carrying the ball now constitutes a foul.

The penalty for clipping was re- duced to fifteen yards from the point of the foul, in the belief that officials will be less hesitant in calling fouls than with the former heavy penalty of twenty-five yards.

"Big School"

Places City of Staunton on the Map

Albert Shultz, who recently returned by motor from Natchez, Miss., tells of a number of interesting ex- periences en route, which show the im- mense publicity Staunton Military Academy has been given throughout the South, and, in fact, in every quarter of the globe.

Mr. Shultz gave several incidents of persons stopping him, and asking if Staunton was not "the home of that big military school," one of which was in a small place in Tennessee, where a country boy sauntered up to his machine, looking as if he was from the heart of the mountains, and in- quiring if he was from Staunton. Mr. Shultz replied that he was, and asked if the man in question had ever been there.

Replying, the inquisitor said, "No, I ain't never been there; been in West Virginia once, but ain't Staunton where that big military school is?"

Mr. Shultz said that wherever he had traveled by motor, his Staunton license always attracted attention, and usually he had found it was because Staunton was known as the seat of S. M. A. o

Mrs. Russell is Named Mary Baldwin Trustee

At the recent meeting of the Pres- byterian Synod of Virginia, in Rich- mond, Mrs. Thomas H. Russell, of Staunton, was appointed on the Mary Baldwin College board of trustees.

Mrs. Russell has been prominently identified with Mary Baldwin since her school days. While a student she was editor of the Bluestocking, college yearbook; made high honors in schol-

1 /arship, and from 1926 to 1932 was •, president of the alumnx association.

■Hnce 1932 she has been honorary president of the alumnx.

W.W. L. S. Membership Will Be Exclusive

Membership in the Woodrow Wil- son literary society is to be by invitation only, according to a statement made by a high ranking officer of that organization in a recent interview. Dues have been cut in half so that anyone who might be honored with an invitation to join, cannot hold back on account of the expense. It was also said that the society will probably grant extra credit in English to those doing creditable work in its programs. Its meetings are pledged to be enter- taining as well as beneficial to its members.

With Major Brice as faculty advis- or, the society has the following officers: president, Parriott, R. B.; secretary, Smith P. R.; treasurer, Thomp- son, G. M.

Acting Cadet Officers and Sergeants Rotate in

Temporary Rank

Plans are being made by Captain Thomas to post an inning by inning score of the approaching World Series between the Washington Senators and the New York Giants.

The progress will be recorded daily, starting with next Tuesday's game in New York, on a large blackboard which is to be placed on the balcony directly over the Post Chaplain's office. After the outcome of each inning has been heard on the radio, it will be registered on the board immediately.

No Study Hall Exams Says the Headmaster

According to Major Wonson, headmaster, no study hall exams will be held this session. The study hall roll will be made from lists of cadets who have convinced their instructors that they are not doing the proper amount of studying. These may be furnished the headmaster at any time a faculty desires to send a cadet to the study hall.

In the same manner cadets will be released from study hall. When an instructor is convinced that a cadet whom he has "sent up" is trying his best, he will recommend to the headmaster that the cadet be released from the hall.

Permanent appointment of cadet officers and non-commissioned officers will be made on Thursday, October 12, according to a statement made in a recent interview, by Maj. A. M. Patch, Professor of Military Science and Tac- tics. Appointment of first class priv- ates will be made about two weeks after the above date.

Until then a list of temporary appointments is in effect. Once a week until permanent makes are published, each acting commissioned officer will move up one grade in rank, and the acting company commander will move to commander of the second platoon. This same process of rotation also gov- erns the temporary non-coms during the probationary period.

Below is the list of cadets who are now acting as commissioned officers and sergeants, together with Special Order No. 1 as published at the opening of school;

Rifle Range is Open For Gallery Practice

The rifle range is now open to cadets who would like to practice before trying out for the rifle team. In the near future the team is due to get under way, according to Liteutenant Slattery, the coach. Those who would like to try for the team are urged to come out as only four men of last year's squad are back. Place, Lee, Pellet and Eberhard are these men.

Many Points of Historical Interest and Natural Beauty Are Near Staunton

This section of Virginia is one of the school centers of the United States, as well as being rich in historical places of interest and natural wonders. Peo- ple from all parts of the United States and notables from foreign lands make pilgrimages to this section to enjoy its beauty, and to study the history of this country, so much of which was made within a radius of less than a hundred miles of this little city.

Besides the several schools in Staun- ton there are at least eight other na- tionally known institutions of learn- ing within fifty miles. At Lexington, Va., approximately 36 miles from Staunton, are the Virginia Military Institute, and Washington and Lee University. At Waynesboro in this county are Fairfax Hall school for girls and Fishburne Military School. On the Valley Pike north of Staunton about 12 miles is Augusta Military Academy, and a little farther on at Harrisonburg is one of the four teach-

ers' colleges of this state. At Char- lottesville, about 40 miles east, is the University of Virginia. All these institutions are interesting, and some of them are very closely associated with the earliest history of this nation.

Among the places of historic interest near by are "Monticello," the beau- tiful home of Thomas Jefferson. It is within a few miles of Charlottes- ville, and near it is "Ash Lawn" once the home of James Monroe, now own- ed by a Mr. Johns, a former Staunton Cadet. At Lexington are the tombs of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jack- son. All up and down the Shenan- doah Valley are battlefields of the Civil War, all of which are well mark- ed by the Virginia Department of Highways. Also many of the homes on the roads out from Staunton are closely associated with the history of this state and nation.

KDKA to Broadcast S. M. A. Grid Scores

Arrangement Was Made by Mr. Wynne Shuker

of Pittsburgh

Scores of the S. M. A. games will be broadcast this season through station KDKA, (Pittsburgh), and associated WBC stations, according to Captain Godshalk, director of the S. M. A. news bureau. C. A. Wakeman, Tea- berry sports reporter, will announce the scores on his eleven P. M. program on the day of each game.

Arrangements for these broadcast were made through Mr. Wynne Shuk- er, brother of Cadet Lewis Shuker.

New Regulations Are In Effect in Pool Room

New regulations for conducting the cadet pool room include free use of the tables, and the prohibiting of cadets monopolizing a table for a whole afternoon when others are waiting to play.

In the past a small fee has been charged those who used the tables. This custom has been discontinued and anyone who wishes may use the pool tables to his hearts desire.

Also when more cadets wish to play than there are tables, the person in charge of the room sees that cadets take turns at the game, and thus in- sures everyone a chance to shoot a few racks.

Many cadets have voiced approval of these new regulations for the recrea- tion room, and say that the place is now really a source of real enjoyment for those who like the game.

Every Cadet to Command a Platoon During Year

Every cadet in the corps, at some time during the year, will be given the opportunity of commanding a platoon, according to Major A. M. Patch, Pro- fessor of Military Science and Tactics. "Each R. O. T. C. student here has the opportunity and privilege of prepar- ing himself to become an officer in the reserve corps of the United States Army. This policy of giving him a chance to command a body of troops is for the purpose of giving him practice in the fundamentals of leadership, and increasing his chances of ultimate- ly securing his commission as a reserve officer," stated Major Patch.

Details as to how this plan will be worked out, and when it will go into effect, are not yet available.

Punishment For Careless Cadets Will Be Heavier

Information comes from the Com- mandant's Office that punishment meted out to unlucky cadets in confinement halls over the week-ends, will be heavier than it was last year.

V.M.I. SCRUBS INVADE KABLE FIELD AT 3 P.M.

When Referee Denton blows his whistle this afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, S. M. A. will usher in its 193 3 football season, pitted against the V. M. I. Junior Varsity.

The Blue and Gold gridders have been drilling strenuously for two weeks, and now appear to be well prepared for their inaugural struggle, although only five letter men, four of whom are available, remain from last year's squad. However, many new men and former company players have helped to brighten up the outlook. Captain Louisell has succeeded in building what seems to be a well-bal- anced line, while a backfield combina- tion has been developed by Coach Howie which ought to give a good account of itself during the difficult 10-game schedule.

The forward wall is being molded around the veterans, Captain Shuker, Painter, and DeLiberty. Klepper, another player who has seen service in former years, is again proving his worth behind the line. The letter man who has not yet returned to school is "Red" Morse, an end of con- siderable reputation. Behind the line- men there will be some new faces. These ball-carriers are Kranich, a rugged fullback; Hitchcock, the probable quarterback; the hard-hitting Watson; and Hepner, a blocking halfback. Painter, the center, will again drop back when a long punt is needed.

Unless an unexpected prospect forces him out of it, "Nick" DeLiberty will again hold down his tackle berth. Play- ing the other tackle will be, in all probability, a husky, broad-shoulder- ed recruit by the name of Bliss. Shuk- er should experience little trouble in retaining his position next to the center, but the other guard is a toss-up between Weston, L. C. Evans, and Partlan Schuenemann, a new end, has displayed fine ability throughout the practice sessions, as have Howie and Bunsa, other end candidates. Two former Lee High School backs, Burnett and Ast, are also stand-outs.

A repertoire of straight line plays from kick formation will be about the limit of the Kable boys' attack, according to Coach Howie. This lack of variety results from the intention to bring the team along slowlv to a mid- season peak, and is also advisable in the handling of the green material from which most of the team will be formed.

The outcome is doubtful. With little deception, S. M. A. will have to rely upon main strength against a crew that spends its time regularly in smear- ing varsity attacks. There is no question as to the defensive power of the scrub team, consisting as it does of sophomores on the make, and of jun- iors and seniors who have fallen just short of varsity standards. Such players are in there because they like the

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1933

De Plebe A plebe system, to carry out its

professed purpose, must not be an instrument of degradation or despotism but a carefully prepared vehicle to

expedite the education of a military candidate in the fundamentals of prompt and unquestioning obedience to superior authority.

Such petty regulations regarding "rat-lanes," conduct at table, and

others, serve only to act as a constant reminder that, in his position, the

plebe must realize and respect the longer service of the "old boy" and his fuller comprehension of the rudi- ments of military life.

Too often, however, these restric- tions are abused by those who desire to exploit their authority in making life unpleasant for certain new cadets.

It is the duty, and should be con- sidered a privilege, of every "old boy" to see that these offenders against the plebe system are made to realize that they are destroying the ideals of the system and making the instruction of the plebe more difficult. o .

Through the Eyes of a Cadet

By H. A. R.

Captain George A. Gould's recent resignation came as a blow to his large number of friends in the student body. Probably one of the best liked instructors on the "Hill," his acceptance of an active duty tour in the army with the Civilian Conservation Corps was a disappointment to many. However, as he explained, "it is all for the best," and older, wiser heads advised him to accept.

Active in a great many functions, social and athletic, Captain Gould was constantly among the cadets and always promoted a feeling of friendship. Often he gave welcome advice to be- wildered new cadets, and enabled them to feel much more "at home." ^ Always conscientious, Captain Gould would not hesitate to help a student grasp French or Spanish more easily by giving him a little extra help.

As assistant tennis coach last year, the captain was always down at the courts playing with the members of the team. As director of the cadet show for the past two years he performed a fine job. And as an instructor in drills this year, he took his work seriously and was a valuable assistance to the P. M. S. and T.

STAUNTON FACULTY HAS WIDE AND VARIED RANGE OF EXPERIENCE

A typical faculty member at S. M. A., according to statistics compiled by the KABLEGRAM, is 42 years old, has been at Staunton for 13 years, was a teacher in another school before coming to S. M. A., and either holds a reserve commission or saw active service during the World War.

These statistics show that the average instructor at S. M. A. has had wide and varied experience in his pro- fession and has, as a rule, taught one or more subjects besides the one which he now teaches.

Out of the 3 2 members of the faculty there are six who have a record of over twenty years of service at this school: Col Sutherland, 2 5 years; Col. T. G. Russell, 26 years; Maj. W. H. Steele, 24 years; Maj. Wonson, 2 3 years; Maj. Sizer, 26 years; Maj. Pitch- er, 21 years. Instructors who have been on the staff for ten years or more are: Maj. L. B. Steele, 17 years; Maj. Hess, 15 years; Maj. James, 16 years; Maj. Duggan, 15 years and Capt. Moody, 1 5 years.

Our instructors have accumulated during their pre-teaching days, 3 8 academic degrees, including six Master of Arts degrees (M. A.), eleven Bachelor of Science (B. S.), sixteen Bachelor of Arts (A. B.), one Professional Normal degree and one Mechanical Engineer- ing. These degrees were acquired from 3 8 different colleges and Universities, as follows: Columbia U.; U. of Rich- mond; Universities of Wisconsin, Virginia, Michigan, Lehigh, Johns Hopkins, South Carolina, Paris, Birm- ingham, Washington and Lee, Cali- fornia, Chicago, Brown, Vermont Emory and Bucknell. Colleges repre- sented are: West Point, Hampden-Syd- ney, Citadel, Albania Polytechnic In- stitute, Sheperd Normal College, Clem- son, Berlitz School of Languages, V. M. I., Newberry College, Wofford, Middleburg School of Languages, Col- by, William and Mary, Rose Polytech nic Institute, Holy Cross and Bridge water College.

The average S. M. A. instructor taught at two schools before coming here, Major Sizer and Captain Hosh- our leading the list with four schools. The faculty have taught in Massa- chusetts, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Jersey, Michigan, Vermont, New York, New Hampshire, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. At these other schools the average instructor taught four subjects, Major Hess, headmaster of the junior school, leading the list with twenty subjects (arithmetic, algebra, plane, solid, trig., physics, botany, zoology, astronomy,

raphies, and six histories). Tin age teacher at S. M. A. now instructs in two subjects, Captain Walper, of the junior school, leading the list with seven.

All the members of the Military Science and Tactics staff saw active service during the World War. Others that rendered help to the government and its military forces are: Major Pitcher, Captain Gould, Captain Hosh- our, Majior James, Captain Biscoe, Major Brice.

There are twelve reserve commis- sions held by S. M. A. instructors: 2nd Lieutenant, Howie; 1st Lieuten- ants, Brown, Biscoe, Brice, Godshalk, and Cooksey; Captains, Thomas, Gould, James, Kingman, and Taylor. o .

Grad of "89 Visits School First Time in 44 Years

E. T. Beard, class '89, from Calvert, Texas, was a visitor at the Academy a few days ago. It was his first visit to S. M. A. since he finished here 44 years ago.

Mr. Beard found only one or two landmarks which were familiar to him when he was a cadet. The only structure now on the "Hill" that was here in '89 is the Administration building. In those days it was the residence of Capt. W. H. Kable, founder of the school. Mr. Beard roomed in this building when a student here.

Mary Baldwin and Stuart Hall semi- naries came in for discussion as Mr. Beard reminisced of his prep school days. Miss Mary Julia Baldwin was principal at M. B. S., as he remembered it, and Mrs. Jeb Stuart at the Hall. Miss Baldwin would not allow him and other cadets to visit her girls often nor for many minutes at a time, while Mrs. Stuart called the cadets "her boys," and was more liberal toward them.

Mr. Calvert said he could name forty boys from Texas who were cadets here with him. o

PERSONALS

Mrs. Eleanor Kable Whitehead and daughter, of Richmond, Va., were recent visitors in the home of Major and Mrs. W. H. Steele. Mrs. Whitehead is a member of the board of trustees of the academy, and the mother of Billy Kable, a cadet here last year.

Mr. H. K. Butcher, of Philadelphia, father of Cadet Butcher, was here Tuesday.

Capt. J. W. Pence was called to Ohio two days recently on account of the death of his sister.

The New York Times sport section carried a two-column cut of John Kight, '3 0, in its September 2 5 issue. The picture was in connection with a write-up of Lehigh's football squad on which Kight years experience.

Richard W. TuIIgren, '07-'08, visited the school on Sunday, September 17. Tullgren is an architect in Mil- waukee. While on the "Hill" he paid his respects to Room 3 07, where he once "bunked."

During the past week-end were seen on the "Hill," Fred Cramer, Her-

Eisler, H. Hoagland, Bus Male, bert Christopher Muller, Jerry Del Prete and Emil Eggiman of the class of 1933.

At a recent meeting of Union Royal Arch of Masons, Staunton Chapter, Chaplain Thomas was elected to the highest post in the organization, that of High Priest for the ensuing year.

Recruit C. A. Hughes was recently surprised by a visit from his parents.

Dr. Schwartz dropped in one day this week to say hello to his son, Cadet M. O. Schwartz.

Kablegram and Shrapnel Give Cadets an Outlet

for Journalistic Urge

THE KABLERAM is the school news- paper and official organ of the S. M. A. cadets. It is a bi-weekly publication run solely by the cadets, and for them, and offers many inducements to those who are interested in journalistic work.

At the close of the year members of the staff are given a banquet, at which certain cadets are presented with a charm, known as the KABLEGRAM key. This charm is divided into three classes; cadets who have been on the staff two years and whose work has been exceptional are awarded gold keys, while those performing on the paper for their first season are given silver and bronze keys. To be eligible for any of the charms a cadet must qualify on either the business or editorial staff satisfactorily. The English department offers a maximum of four points to be added to the total mark at the end of each quarter. As an added reward for capable work, extra leaves are, some times granted by the commandant. Capt. Moody is faculty adviser of THE KABLEGRAM.

In addition to the KABLEGRAM,

the Shrapnel, the school annual, is another outlet offered to cadets interested in journalism. It is a publication in- volving time and effort, but affords a practical means of gaining valuable experience and gives numerous rewards to those who become permanent members of the staff. This book is put out under the direction of Colonel T. G. Russell, who should be seen by cadets interested in this type of work.

Band Strikes Opening"! """ Chord Ten Days Early

There are still places in the band and orchestra to be claimed by musical cadets, according to the director, Major Beardsworth. Two alto horns are needed in the band and the classical orchestra still lacks a pianist.

Rapid progress has already been made in these two musical organiza- tions, the band having swept into official action at retreat on Tuesday, Sep- tember 19, fully ten days earlier than its opening date last year. The classical orchestra made its debut at the first assembly of the year. A selected octet from the orchestra entertained the local meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution which was held on September 21.

The band plays an important part in the athletic schedule and Major Beardsworth states that the organization will be ready to "take the field at the first contest of the season" with a new and varied repertoire. o

Y. M. C. A. Activities Will Be Enlarged

Eighty-seven Alumni Are in Reserve Corps

A week ago the school was visited by Perry Ragan, ex-'3 2, who is now at Fort Monroe, Virginia, studying for the entrance examinations to West Point.

Mr. Russell Gemmill, ex-'28, of Red Line, Pa., will be married at the Central Methodist Church in Staun- ton on October 6. The ceremony will be performed by the Post Chaplain, Capt. W. S. Thomas.

It now seems probable that during this session more meetings of the Y M. C. A. will be held than was the case in the past. These will alternate with the Alpha Bible Club on Sunday eve- nings. These meetings will, for the most part, be conducted by the cadets themselves, with an occasional outside speaker.

In the first meeting of the Aloha Bible Club, held in the library on Sun- day night, September 17, the following officers were selected: to be president, Cadet Oehrig; vice-president, Cadet Menczer, J. B.; secretary, Cadet Men- czer, L. F. The meeting was then turned over to Captain Thomas, who brought up the question of the new course of study, and the New Testa- ment was decided upon. The cadets present voted that third year members should have a ruby set in their kev in order to distinguish them from the first and second year members.

The Professor of Military Science and Tactics has compiled a list of alumni of Staunton Military Academy who are now officers in the Reserve. These men all completed the R. O. T. C. work here and at least one summer in R. O. T. C. camp.

There are eighty-seven officers on the list as follows:

THE SECRET OF CHRISTMAS TIES

A man looking at some neckties tossed one or two aside rather con- temptuously. Lingering after having made his purchase, he noticed that the clerk put those he had so positively rejected in a separate box.

"What becomes of them?" he inquired."

"We sell them to the women who come in here to buy ties for men," was the reply.—Lindsay Post.

Varsity Schedule Has Been Revised

Tennis Aspirants Are Playing Tournament

The omission of Greenbrier and the University of Virginia "B" team, and the substitution of an inter-sectional game with Mercersburg Academy, of Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, as well as the adidtion of Augusta Military Acad- emy to the regular schedule, mark the changes in Staunton Military Acad- emy's list of gridiron events this season.

In addition to the events substituted in this year's schedule, an important change in playing date occurs in the S. M. A.-Woodberry forst tilt. Long recognized as a major engagement for both of the contestants, this game has been pushed to the mid-season position that its importance justifies. Last year it was played on October 1 as the second game on the schedule of each team. The nothing to nothing tie that resulted between two rather green teams left for the rest of the season a qustion as to the result if the two strong clubs had met at the peak of their strength. The change was made possible by the signing ot Mer- cersburg Academy for second game in place of Woodberry, and the elimi- nation of Greenbrier from the spot that Woodberry will now hold.

Augusta Military Academy, ancient rival, winers by a six to nothing score in the early December post-season charity game, has been restored to the regular schedule as the next to the last game on the list. The date, No- vember 24, falls on a Friday, the week before Thanksgiving. The Friday date was chosen because it gave six day in- tervals between the last three games on the schedules of each of the teams. All other games except the opener will be played by S. M. A. on Satur- days.

The apparent changes in some of the regular dates to a week later are caus- ed by the fact that Thanksgiving comes practically a week later this year than last (November 30); since the holiday is traditional wind-up day for football in most schools, arrangements are made from this final date and worked backward in regular order.

POINTS OFINTEREST (Continued from Page One')

great Valley of Virginia, which at tracts many visitors to this section every year, there are its wonderful caverns, the Endless, Luray, Grand, Massanutten, Crystal, which thousands of tourists come to see. Skyline Drive, a road built along the top of the Blue Ridge mountains of the Shenandoah National Forest, and Natural Bridge also attract many people by their wonder and beauty.

Within the city of Staunton and around it within walking distance are also points of interest which will be listed and described in an early issue of the KABT.EGRAM.

For the past two weeks aspirants for Staunton's tennis team have been par- ticipating in fall practice, which is being conducted in the form of a tournament by Captain S. N. Hos- hour.

This system, according to Coach Hoshour, has better enabled him to get a line on the 23 candidates who are battling for a position on next spring's net team. Although prospects are not very encouraging, a noble attempt will be made to build up a formidable outfit with last year's veterans, Staff, Raider, H. A., Truesdell, O, and Mills, along with a few other con- tenders, forming the nucleus.

It is the wish of Captain Hoshour that all plebes possessing tennis experience will appear on the courts at the first opportunity.

Those taking part in the tournament are: Mills, Hayden, Kelsch, Funk- houser, Kramer, Hunter, Johnson, T. H., Mee, Jones, H. E., Fisher, Coit, Conway, Staff, Palmer, R. A., Dunk- lin, Somyak, Baldwin, Fredey, Jordan, Thompson, McAdoo, Hubbs, and Hiler. o

Lieut. Wenger Replaces Capt. Gould on Staff

New Dramatic Club Replaces Blackfriars

Plans are under way for the formation of a new Dramatic Club to suc- ceed the "Blackfriars," an organization which, for many years, served as an outlet for histrionic ambitions on the "Hill."

A great deal of interest was shown by the twenty-four men who attended the first meeting of the club Tuesday night. Plans were discussed for pre- senting several one-act plays and per- haps a drama during the school year. An effort will be made to give every member an oportunity some time during the year to take part in a play.

At the next meeting officers will be elected and plans formulated for the year's activities. A series of try-outs will be held after the organization has been completed. The club will be under the direction of Lieutenant Wenger. o

Moving Picture Review

Picture showing at the Strand Fri- day: Madge Evans, Alice Brady, and Otto Kruger in Beauty for Sale.

Captain George A. Gould, Jr., instructor in modern languages at the Staunton Military Academy for the past four years, has resigned his position here to take active service with the Civilian Conservation Corps in Vermont. He left Sunday morning, September 24, on orders to report to Fort Ethan Allen for assignment. His position has been filled by the appointment of Lieutenant R. Lawrence Wenger, who has been doing graduate work at the University of Virginia for the past year.

Captain Gould, who lives in Cam- bridge, Mass., is a graduate of the University of Vermont and has been a graduate student at Boston University. He holds the rank of captain in the 3S8th Infantry (Reserve) of the 97th Division, and is a graduate of the In- fantry School at Fort Benning, Ga. During his four years of service at S. M. A. he has been an instructor in French and Spanish, an assistant instructor in Military Science, and an assistant coach. He is the originator of student stunt-night and cake-walk, and directed it in its first two success- ful presentations.

Lieutenant Wenger, Captain Gould's successor, is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Virginia and in addition to his graduate studies there last year has been a student at the University of Paris (the Sorbonne) and at the University of Dijon. He was an instructor in modern languages at S. M. A. from 1927 to 1932, coached soc- cer, and assisted in dramatics. He holds the rank of second lieutenant in the Military Intelligence Reserve. o

ONE SUNDAY AFTERNOON

The motion picture showing at the New Theatre this week-end is entitled One Sunday Afternoon, starring Gary Cooper, Neil Hamilton, Fay Wray, and Francis Fuller.

The play begins on one Sunday afternoon in Gary Cooper's dental office and Neil Hamilton makes an emergency appointment to have some dental work done. At this time both men are beginning to turn gray and are gradually becoming old men.

Hugo Barnstead (Neil Hamilton) and Biff Grimes (Gary Cooper) are boyhood chums, but Hugo's marriage to Virginia (Fay Wray) years before made them enemies. Biff had married Virginia's chum (Francis Fuller) because he could not stand being jilted by Virginia. However, Biff continued to believe all the time that he had married the wrong girl.

While he was giving Hugo gas, he reviewed the time that had passed between his marirage and that One Sun- day Afternoon. While he was think- ing of the past he gave Hugo too much gas, which he had planned to do, but in the end he revived Hugo with oxygen.

After Biff had pulled the tooth from Hugo's mouth, Virginia came into the office and Biff realized that she was an entirely different girl from the one he had once known.

It was on this One Sunday After-

Patch's Literary Society

The portals of room 13 were thrown open once again last Friday evening for the first meeting of the year of the Patch Literary Society. Those attend- ing were the incorrigibles of S. M. A. Officers elected at the first meeting were "Bison" DeLiberty, master of ceremonies; "Ears" Spanierman, host; "Fugitive" Wood, acting bouncer; "Tarzan" Butler, moth chaser. The regular business of writing 3,000 word themes for the commandant was taken up, and for several it remained un- finished business to be taken up again at the next regular meeting—next Friday night.

The hall looked bare without some of last year's regulars but it was re- ported that Coach Temptation is grooming several more applicants for membership in the society.

One of the members suggested as the subject for the next 3,000 words: "If My Time Were Money I'd Be a Millionaire When I Get Out."

The meeting was not adjourned, just an intermission given till next Friday. o THE RAT HOLE

Everyone has noticed that Cadet Bloom has become more broad-mind- ed during the summer.

We hear that Captain Godshalk is taking his ping-pong seriously.

One of the northern recruits attended the dance given on Wednesday, and later he stated that he had trouble with this souhern dancing. We see that he found no trouble with the southern partners.

THEY SAY!

The Diagnostic Tests given on Mon- day night, to all cadets in the English III and IV classes are used to supple- ment the regular course of study. As the term indicates, they enable the instructor to "diagnose" the students condition in regard to these four things: Capitalization, Punctuation, Grammar, and Sentence Structure. Although records are kept of the results, they are not used to determine the grades of the members of the Eng- lish classes. Tests of the same type will be given again during the latter part of the session as a means of check- ing up on the progress made by the individual student during the year.

PUNISHMENT OF CADETS (Continued from Page One1!

cial orders to write for the commandant a theme on some academic subject, will be asked for three thousand words on the subject instead of a mere two thousand. This is a 50 per cent increase of punishment for those offenses which call for this particular kind of punishment. Those having to read and check-up on these themes have expressed the hope that there will be at least a 50 per cent reduction in these offenses.

It was also announced that reading of fiction will not be permitted by anyone serving time in confinement hall. Other ways for occupying the minds of those being punished will be found, it was stated.

Bertolini's Fifi seems to have deserted him . . . and after all that marvelous treatment! She is a viper! ... I wonder what has happened to "The Flarrisonburg Flash"? . . . He doesn't appear to have started operations as yet. . . . Ask Al Ladner about "the unveiling" last week! . . . A certain local miss thinks one of our boys has the "cutest" accent . . . Isn't that just "ducky? . . . Who is it that has a mother, sister and lover all in one here at school with him? . . . Just one cadet that we know of who was an excellent "griper" last year promised to stop that uncouth practice forever . . . He's not living up to his word as shown at drill a couple of days ago.

NODDING TERMS

This same knotty old Yankee was in his garden one morning when the town's religious zealot, passing on horseback, called:

"Brother, have you made your peace with God?"

He didn't hear and inquired: "What say?" The question was repeated and, resting on

his hoe, he drawled: "We ain't come to no open break yit!"—

Dancing Classes Will Begin in Two Weeks

The annual dancing class under the supervision of Mrs. I. W. Littell, the school chaperon, will begin on Tuesday afternoon, October 10.

These classes are organized by Mrs. Littell for the express purpose of teaching every cadet the art of dancing, and only those boys who do not know how to dance will be allowed to attend according to Mrs. Littell. A competent instructor will be present at the classes to help teach the boys.

Dancing partners will be young girls of Staunton, invited by Mrs. Littell. This not only affords the cadets good partners but also enables them to make the acquaintance of many of the girls around town.

Arrangements may be made with Mrs. Littell for permission to attend the classes. There will be a slight charge for a definite number of dances as in previous years. o
