Subdivision Sports In Organized Form Are

Innovation At S. M. A.

Chance to Play Favorite Game is Offered all Cadets

by Scheme

KEEN RIVALRY IS SHOWN BY EVERYONE

Today concludes the first week of inter-subdivision sports in swimming, tennis, and volley ball, with subdivision nis, and volley ball. Subdivision sports are an organized form. Hitherto there have been such sports with one gallery challenging another. These instances were few and far between and had little spirit behind them. Captain Summers, athletic director, has organized this form of athletics in an endeavor to place every man on some team. While athletics are not compulsory here it is clear- ly evident that placing every man in his favorite sport is to be highly desired.

These sports will change from time to time to be in keeping with the seasonal sports. Another promising feature of this new plan is the discovery of hidden talent which will go to intercompany teams where, after proper seasoning and development, they will have a chance for varsity teams.

Inter-subdivision athletics affords the shy and those who are not good enough for varsity or company teams, a chance to participate in his favorite game wherein competition is in keeping with his ability. The cadets have taken hold of this new form of recreation with in- creasing enthusiasm from the very start. Rivalry has become exceedingly keen, and has brought many of a retiring na- ture into a stronger bond with his fel- low mates.

Mary Baldwin, Stuart Hall Girls May Attend Dances

Alary Baldwin students may be allowed to attend formal dances at S. M. A. this winter, according to Miss Elizabeth Pfohl dean of women at the college.

Heretofore it has been a regulation at M. B. C. that the students there could not attend dances at other institutions, but Miss Pfohl says this regulation has been removed from the catalog. She points out, however, that permission to attend dances has not yet been granted to their students, and that is yet a question before the authorities of the college. They have decided that the girls at M. B. C. will not attend the informal dances here.

Stuart Hall is to have the same regulations and privileges as they have had before. The students there are allowed to attend certain of our dances.

News Bureau Organized For Publicity Purposes

Staunton Military Academy has established a news publicity bureau for the purpose of publishing all noteworthy activities of cadets in their respective local newspapers. In past years very few articles of this sort have been forward- ed by the school; in fact, this is the first time that the school is carrying this out to any extent.

The co-operation of the student body is requested and needed by the news bureau. Any cadet who knows that his parents or friends are coming to visit him is urged to inform the bureau of this fact. It is further requested that cadets ask their parents to clip the articles and send them to the news bureau.

Captain F. I. Godshalk has been placed in charge of this activity.

What Is Most Important Trait Of Ideal Teacher?

Cadet Corps to be Canvassed to Find Answer to This

Mooted Question

Inter-Company Football Season Starts Today

The inter-company football season starts this afternoon with an "A" Com- pany-"B" Company clash on Echols Field at quarter of four. The rival squads are in excellent shape and the game shows promise of being of much interest due to the efforts of Coach Bodie of "B" and Coach Cooksey of "A." The turnout for this popular sport exceeded the hopes of the coaches, who have thus been enabled to produce two good teams of nearly evenly matched strength.

Practice has been held every day of the past week with the teams getting rapidly into shape. The line-up of each team shows some valuable veterans back from last year with the addition of some promising new talent. Among some of the veterans playing in "A" Company are : Forbes, Del Pretc, Trues- dcll, Rainy Donovan, Carey, D. Laduer. verclude: Stephenson, Carver, Tenney, Mainwaring, Molnar, Dalton, McFadycn, Lasker.

"B" Company, while losing much strength in last year's graduating class has a nucleus of veterans which in- clude :

What do you consider the most important trait in the make-up of an ideal teacher?

Is it dignity, smartness, a sense of humor, nagging, impartiality, reprimanding students privately, reprimanding publicly, patience, sympathy, ability to explain a matter, knowledge of his subject, fraternizing with cadets—what is it?

These are characteristics observed in teachers all over the world. Some are admirable, some are not. Some may be essential, while others might be elimi- nated without affecting the efficiency of the instructor. There are other properties not listed which many students may think arc either necessary or detest- able in the make-up of a teacher.

What we want to do, is find out here at S. M. A. what the cadets consider the most important marks of an ideal faculty. THE KABLKGRAM wants each read- er of this article to list what he thinks to be the five most important assets of a perfect instructor, and at the same time make a list of the five characteristics he thinks are least desirable in a teacher.

Just take a piece of paper and at the top of it write the word "Desirable," and under it list in order of their importance the five traits your ideal instructor should have. Under this write the word "Undesirable," and list those properties a good teacher should not have. Do not write your name.

A reporter for THE KABLEGRAM will call on you for your list. In the next issue of the paper you will see what the majority of the Staunton cadets consider the signs of an ideal teacher.

Maybe it will help the faculty to know what kind of instructors they should be. At any rate it is safe to say they will be interested to know what you wish them to be. So get your list ready for the reporter when he calls.

Corps Invited to Go to Richmond for Dedication

Recently a letter to the Commandant of Cadets was received from Boiling H. Handy, Chairman of the War Me- morial Commission, inviting the S. M. A. corps of cadets to participate in a parade that is to precede the dedication of the World War Memorial in Richmond, Va., on October fifteenth. A number of military units are to participate in the dedication of the memorial, which is in the form of a Carillon Tower. The president of the academy stated that the corps will be unable to accept this invitation. o

First Informal Dance Opens Social Season

The first of a series of informal dances which are to be held throughout the year will open the social season of S. M. A. in the Kable Gymnasium tonight. This event is to supplant the tea dance which has formerly taken place at the beginning of eac'^ school year for the purpose of gettint .acquainted with prospective escorts and d gs.

Hue to the general 1: .-k of "where- withal," as far as we c; . learn, an informal dance will aho replace the Thanksgiving formal. '

Woodberry Forest Will Attempt To Duplicate

Last Season's Victory

Coaches and Players Anticipate Hard Struggle Tomorrow

Afternoon

COMPLIMENTS PASSED ON TEAM SPIRIT HERE

Tomorrow afternoon a strong Wood- berry Forest eleven will invade Kable's Field in an attempt to duplicate their last season's win over S. M. A. The in- vaders have already played and won a tilt with Emerson, besides winning a practice game. They come with high hopes and the determination that they will leave us the shorter end of the score.

Coaches and players anticipate a hard battle and that is just what they will get. Our boys, still smarting from last year's defeat, are anxious to gain a smashing victory. S. M. A.'s current team is much stronger than last year's collection and shows itself capable of great ability. Woodberry Forest is also very strong, and in order that our read- ers might have a clearer insight on tomorrow's game with Woodberry Forest, we present the following facts about that team.

Woodberry Forest lost by graduation the men she placed on the 1931 all-state team. This loss was counteracted by the return of nine letter men, namely: Van Winkle and Harman, ends; Scott and Lowe, tackles; Clarke, guard; Fol- ger, center; Mason, quarterback; Wool- len, half-back, and Smith, full-back. Smith has been lost to the team through an unfortunate shoulder injury sus- tained in an early practice. A last year's reserve will fill his position. The team weight, averaging 167 pounds, is a lighter aggregation than that of the past season.

Woodberry Forest makes no rash statement of sure victory, but is confi- dent that S. M. A. will need to step fast to beat them. This annual game between the two schools is becoming one of the most important and hardest fought games on either schedule.

The manager of the opposing team passes us a compliment. "The usual spirit and sportsmanship of S. M. A. teams has made them highly respected at Woodberry Forest."

Officials for the game will be Doran, Ohio, Referee; Holstein, W. and L., Umpire; Bailey, W. and L., Head Lines- man. Time of game—2:30 p. m.

Study Hall Exams Are To Be On October 14th

Study hall examinations will be held on Friday, October 14. These exams are designed to find out how much each student knows about his subjects, and, if he fails to measure up to par, to put him in a place where he may accomplish his preparation to a greater ad- vantage. No cadet will be required to attend night study hall if he passes all his tests.

The number of study halls has not yet been decided upon, but Major Won- son would like to have to run but one. If the number of cadets failing their exams requires that more than one ball be kept, he has said that he will run as many as he finds necessary. The number of subjects a student may fail and still stay out of study hall has not been definitely determined as yet. It is hard- ly probable, however, that more than one failure will be granted. Qualified seniors, as in previous years, will not be required to attend study hall.

The personnel of the study hall staff will be Major Sizer, Major Duggan, Captain Pence, Captain Summers, and Captain Bodie. The regulations will be the same as last year.

When a Man Bites a Dog That's News" saidGreely

''When a Man Walks Home From a Ride With His Girl

is News," Say We

Horace Greely once said to a young reporter, "When a dog bites a man, that's old stuff. But when the man bites the dog, that's news!" Or something like that.

And so, when a girl walks home from an auto ride, that's not news.

But when a certain handsome, well known, and popular cadet at present lo- cated in the approximate vicinity of rooms 811, 812, and 813 in Kable Hall, is thrown out of the car by the lady in question and, consequently, walks five long, weary miles home, that's news!

He was a tired and footsore cadet when he finished walking those five long miles.

"Where you been, Bob?" "Yea, Lov- er." "Out for exercise, keed?" "Mara- thoner," and likely expressions flowed from everywhere.

"What's it all about?" we hear from all sides, but evidently there are still only a few in on the big joke. We address the harrassed cadet, who just can't

Crack Drill Team Is Planned By P.M.S. and T.

Best Drilled Cadets Will Form Platoon of New Organi-

zation

A silent drill team composed of the best drilled cadets in school formed in- to a single platoon will be welded into a crack machine under the instruction of .Major Patch in the near future. Al- ready the silent manual drill has been demonstrated to the corps with instruction in the intricate marchings to follow. Lieutenant Slattery, of the P. M. S. and T. department, was once a member of a military organization which performed this same drill in Washington some years ago. It was pronounced by military experts present to be the best drill of that type that they had ever wit- nessed.

The whole drill is difficult to master. With the limited time available for practice, the first public appearance will probably be at Thanksgiving. Member- ship in the drill team is voluntary and is based on proficiency and appearance. Once a cadet has gained a place on the team he will in no way have a permanent position, for competition will be keen. If any member slackens, he will be replaced by some eager aspirant who can supply the necessary smartness and clear headwork. General opinion has it that the drill team will be popular with the corps, that membership in it will glow to mean a lot, and that there will he more cadets than needed, setting a fast pace in order to secure a coveted place on the crack team.

Permanent Appointments To Be Published Noon

Mess Sunday, Oct. 16

Major A. M. Patch, Professor of Mil- itary Science and Tactics, has disclosed that the permanent appointments of cadet officers and non-coms will be an- nounced at noon mess, Sunda)', October 16. As the cadets are all strangers lo Major Patch, he is not acquainted with the merits and abilities of those who are in line for the positions. Consequently, between now and the time when the commissions and non-commissions will be awarded, a new set of acting officers will be put in command each week. The men who measure up to the highest standards in sense of duty and honor are those who will get the appointments.

Here Are The New Football Rules You 11 See In Effect This Fall

You'll see some important changes in football this fall, as a result of the adoption of new and important rules.

The "flying wedge," so popular in 1931, has been virtually legislated out of existence, points out the American Boy Magazine in its September issue. The receiving team must have five men within fifteen yards of the kickoff line until the kick. This fall a team may kick off with a drop-kick instead of a place-kick, if it wishes. Also, the receiving team may make a fair catch without interfer- ence—under the old rules the kicking team could try to catch the ball even though the receiver had signaled for a fair catch.

Flying blocks or tackles arc out. The tackier or blocker may leave his feet only at the instant he makes contact.

Formerly a player couldn't return in

the same half in which he was with- drawn. The new substitutions rule provides that a player taken out may return once in any following period.

You won't see crawling with the ball. A new rule provides that when any part of the ball carrier touches the ground (except his hands or feet), the ball at once becomes dead.

On defense, a player may not strike an opponent on the head, neck, or face with hand, wrist, forearm, or elbow. He may use the palms of the hand only to ward off or push a defensive player in order to get at the ball or the man carrying it.

Hard equipment must be adequately padded, in order to minimize the chance of injury. Hard knee or elbow pads are forbidden.

Major Patch Discusses New Plan Of Housing

Cadets and Rat System

Appeals to Cadets to Keep the Premises Clean and Free

From Abuse

MAY STOP SATURDAY MORNING INSPECTION

Major A. M. Patch, Professor of Mil- itary Science and Tactics, and Command-; ant of Cadets, during a recent interview, gave out some highly informative state- ments concerning school matters. He voiced his opinions of the Barrack sys- ter, Rat system, the cleanliness of the campus, and the sub-division faculty system. To quote Major Patch :

"The present system of boarding the S. M. A. cadets will eventually work very well. I refer especially to the new cadets quartered in the North Barracks. They were placed there mainly to pre- vent abuses of the Rat System. In the North Barracks the new cadets will be living together with a few members of the faculty and some of the oldest cadets on the "Hill." This combination will create a better and more uniform treatment of the rats. I want the Ra-, System to continue, for I think that it is best that the newest members of the Academy be made, in some way, to feel their newness. The Rat system of previous years has been a system of abuses and extra duties. This year I want nothing like that. It is not fair for an old cadet to force a Rat into perform- ing some unnecessary duty when the new boy has his own jobs to finish. I hope that before long the Rat system will be running smoothly and will be enforced in a fair manner.

"I would like to make an appeal to the sense of decency of all the cadets. This "Hill" and its buildings is your home for quite a few months to come, and I wish you would treat it as you treat the home you have just left. I would.like to see you exercise restraint and care in the use of your present ac- commodations. I believe that the majority of boys want to do what is want- ed of them. It is only carelessness if they don't. T want you cadets to take a pride in your barracks and to avoid carelessness. The rooms this year are, T believe, cleaner than when I was here before. 1 would like to stop the Satur- day morning room inspections or at least limit them to only once a month. Whether this is done or not is up to you cadets; if you have your room in good condition every morning for a few weeks you will be awarded with a bit of free time on Saturday mornings. The Quadrangle and the districts sur- rounding the barracks will be cleaned by the sweepers if the cadets will co-oper- ate and do their utmost to keep these sections as clean as possible.

I should like all cadets to thoroughly understand and appreciate that their sub-division faculty officers are their detachment leaders. They have complete control over their subdivisions. Their interest is for the best of the cadets in their respective groups. They are all men whose judgment and advice you can and, by all means should, re- spect. Regard them as your friends and advisers." o ■

TIME

Time is a queer thing. Every-

body has it, poor, rich, great and

small. There is no aristocracy in

time. It never grants special fav-

ors to any one. It never lessens

itself. Twenty-four hours daily,

years, months, and all those min-

utes, free to everyone. What are we going to do with them?

Time passes every second which

can never be recalled or lived again.

Everybody has time to live life fully if he so desires.

Each person has two kinds of

time—working and leisure. These

cannot be exactly defined, because

what is work to some is leisure to

others. Our leisure time should be

spent in someway so that we are

not bored.

Doing something considered a

pleasure, but from which we really

get no enjoyment is not spending

our leisure time correctly. Watch

people on a train, for instance.

Some sit, staring into space, some

playing solitaire, others reading—

nearly all of them bored. Time is

too precious to waste in boredom.

A man who knows how to spend

his time knows how to live life to

its fullest extent.

PERSONALS

Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Troutman, of Pittsburg, Pa., visited the academy Mon- day morning.

The academy was also visited by Mr. and Airs. Sample of Chicago last Mon- day.

CAN YOU BEAT A LAWYER? Bursting open the door marked "Pri-

"If a dog steals a piece of meat from my shop, is the owner liable?" he asked the man behind the desk.

"Certainly," replied the lawyer. "Very well, your dog took a piece of

steak worth a half a dollar about five minutes ago."

"Indeed," he returned smoothly. "Then if you give me the other half, that will cover my fee."—Wall Street Journal.

ALUMNI

Mr. J. E. Johnson, Ex-'2S, of Benson, North Carolina, visited the "Hill" on September 25th. Since leaving S. M. A. he has spent five years at the Univer- sity of North Carolina, and at present is practicing law in Benson. Air. John- son was very much interested in the new barracks.

At the beginning of the 1932-1933 session of S. M. A. many alumni could be seen strolling about the campus, viewing once again the buildings which had at one time been their homes, and recalling memories of their cadet days. It may be interesting to the cadets of the present time to read of the doings, then and now, of these cadets of the past. The items which follow, arc re- ports of those ex-cadets who visited the "Hill" during the past two weeks.

R. S. Wick, '27. was the captain of "A" Company, a member of the Honor Committee, and was awarded the Kable' Legion of Honor. Wick is now in Phil- adelphia.

Hugh Jenks, '26, a member of the Kable Legion of Honor, having completed his work at the University of Cincinnati, is now following his voca- tion in Ashland, Kentucky.

Al Hagedorn, '29, was a member of the debating team, and held a position on THE KAHLEGRAM staff. At the com- mencement of his senior year he received the medal awarded for the best work in English. Al is now a Senior at Penn and the editor of the Punch Bowl.

Tom Burke, '29, was on the Varsity Football and Baseball teams.

A. H. Fink, '30, during his final year at S. M. A. was a corporal. His present activities arc unknown.

W. W. Ehrmann, '28, received two Junior Department Honor Medals in addition !o the English and Mathematics medals. He was on the Rifle team, and, in his last year at S. Al. A., he was Captain of his Company. Ehrmann is now making a fine record at Yale.

Bill Gibbs, '30, was the captain of his company, and a member of the Honor Committee and Football squad. Bill is now working in Staunton.

Frank A. Richardson, '19, was a corporal during his Senior year.

Dick Bellair, '32, was on the swimming team in '29 and '30. His last year he carried a pair of sergeant's chevrons and captured the Chemistry Medal. Dick is at the present a Freshman at Duke.

Don Baird was a corporal S. C. C. in '31. He did not disclose his present oc- cupation.

I\. K. Smith, '30, was major and a member of the Honor Committee his Senior year. During his sojourn in the Academy he lent his ability to the Football and Rifle Teams.

Joe Gawler, '32, and Cal Griffith, also '32, are both at George Washington. At S. M. A. both were members of the Honor Committee, and high rating officers, Joe being Alajor and Cal a Cap- tain.

Don Sailer, '29, the Captain Adjutant and a member of the Rifle Team during his senior year, is now a salesman in his home town.

E. Englehard, an S. M. A. corporal in '29, failed to state his present activities.

Barry Goldwater, '28, had his senior year well filled with non-academic cur- ricula. He was a Captain, a member of the Swimming and Football Teams, the Honor Committee, Tin-: KABLEGRAM staff, and was awarded the Kable Leg- ion of Honor.

Percy Jenkins graduated from Staun- ton in '19, with the "Best All Around Cadet" and English Medals. Percy was a Sergeant and a member of the football Team. At Harvard he carried away all academic honors, and captained the football team so ably that he was placed on the All-Eastern Football Eleven. Air. Jenkins is now with the Spencer-Wick- Wire Steel Company.

H. M. Stuart, '30, while on the "Hill" was the Captain Adjutant of the Corps. He is now starting his Sophomore year at V. M. I.

AT WASHINGTON AND JEFFER- SON : Wm. Beeson plays varsity football and is a member of the Skull and Dagger. Nicholas L. Wisser has gained scholastic distinction and is on the President's Council.

AT THE U. OF DKLAWARE: 1. W. Rogers is the assistant manager of the Golf Club. P. C. Townsend is on the Dean's list and is president of the Student Body. He had the highest military average his Freshman year and received the Col. Smith Award. He plays Junior Varsity football and basketball, and is a member of the Blue Key and Druid societies.

AT YALE : D. T. Ehrmann and W. W. Ehrmann both have scholastic distinction and are members of the Colony Club and Berzelene Society.

Kable Hall Nicknamed Hotel by Lucky Inmates

Since the beginning, of the seventy- third session of this institution, Kable Hall has been decidedly in the lime- light, and is fastly becoming the pride of the "hill."

The recently completed structure houses the "old boys" who have been in attendance at S. M. A. for a period of two years or more, whereas the South Barracks serves as a dormitory for the cadets starting their second year at the academy. The North Barracks is re- served for all recruits. This system of allotment was originated and devised by the Commandant, Major Patch.

To the practice of having at least one member of the guard stationed in each barracks an exception has been made in regard to Kable Hall. There will be no guard assigned to this building, all of which means that the honor system will be applied in a higher degree.

Thus far, the roomers of Kable Hall have made a valiant effort to keep the new edifices in tip-top condition. Each one is doing his best to preserve the newness and cleanliness of the recent addition to the school grounds.

Kable Hall has also served as a scenic addition to the appearance of the school property in that it fills up a once large and unattractive gap formerly looming between the North Barracks and Me- morial Hall.

Letters From Old Boys

To Co. B :. As time passes on, one is forgotten,

but because, by this time, few at S. AL A. recall me to their minds, that does not mean I have forgotten them. Four years of gruelling toil as I saw it then, but four of the plcasantest years of my existence as I look hack upon it now, I spent under the standard of Company B. The defeats, victories, and problems were mine. (Especially the defeats.) No matter how hard I tried to avoid it, 1 made mistakes, but they were pound- ed out of me.

All this is beside the point. I want to thank the company as a whole and its teams as groups for the splendid letter which I received from them. That note signed by fifteen of your number gave me a pleasant surprise and filled me with real happiness. And although I, myself, do not think I fully deserved the compliments in the note, I shall cherish it always—in my heart and in my memory book.

Before I close, just a word about your company coach, Captain Bodie. Aside from being one of the whitest and fair- est men I have ever met, he is one of the most friendly and most willing to help. An even break is all he asks. Give it to him and back him up to the man.

Luck to you individually and collect- ively in all ways always.

Sincerely, "DIVVY."

BLUE AND GOLD GRIDDERS DOWN V. M. I. J. V.'S BY

SINGLE TOUCHDOWN

S. M. A. successfully opened its 1932 football season last Saturday by defeat- ing V. M. I.'s Junior Varsity by a score of 6-0.

During the first half of the game the teams appeared very evenly matched. It was not until the third quarter, when Earle of S. M. A. plunged across the goal line for the first and only touchdown of the game, that the tie was broken.

The first half of the game consisted of a series of kicks by both sides averaging about thirty-seven yards. Earle of S. M. A. broke through for a twenty- two yard run at one time, clearing everyone on the opponent's team but their captain, Venable

The initial pass of the game, attempted by S. M. A., was incomplete. Venable of V. M. I. made two spectacular runs, the first being for ten yards and the second for seventeen. V. M. I.'s first pass, as was S. M. A.'s, was incomplete. The half ended by Venable of V. M. I. making a nice fifteen yard run.

In the second half S. M. A. showed its superiority by scoring the only touchdown of the game. To start with, Earle of S. M. A. threw a pass to Male for ten yards. Immediately, Earle dupli- cates the feat, only with a hundred per cent improvement, by sending a pass to Male for twenty more yards. Through a series of line bucks Earle crossed the line for the touchdown. The extra point was not made due to a fumble.

In the fourth quarter S. M. A. returned the kick to V. M. I. An exchange of kicks followed. Painter of S. M. A. intercepted a pass from V M. 1. Venable of V. M. T. made the only complete pass of the game for his team by sending a twenty yard throw to Troutt. The game ended with the ball in S. M. A.'s possession on the thirty yard line.

seem to find a peaceful place of retreat, but from him we only get surly re- marks.

"Say, Cook, what happened to Schu ?" hut still we learn little, for Cook is off in convulsive laughter with no more than "His girl put him out and made him wal "

"Walk where? Put him out of what?' "Bob had to walk into town," he fair-

ly bursts out. "He went out riding and got put "

"Rah, rah, Lover, Lover, Lover," Yea —as—as—hhhh—hhhh—hh."

"Hey, there, Boh, you don't mean she really "put you out of the car ? And how far? Five miles? And you really walked it ? Oh, boy, your dogs ! When you going out again?"

"Nerts," yells Sch ," as he dives into a room amid a rousing cheer. "Nerts to the whole blooming bunch of you."

But he has learned that to be put out of a car by a girl miles from town is something to be kept entirely private.

Wife (awakening suddenly) : "1 hear a nr.ise, dear! I'm sure it's a burglar."

Husband: "Well, that's all right. He'll get nothing here but practice."

Boxing Team Turns Out In Force at First Call

Captain Joseph Taylor, boxing coach, got off to an early start this week when he started classes to run three days each week for the tyros. The initial class was started this past Monday and had a gratifying turn-out of 28 men. This turn-out consisted mainly of the lighter weights, the heavier men being out for varsity and inter-company football. With the ending of football season these men will report to Captain Taylor, and the development of the varsity squad will begin. In the meantime Coach Taylor believes he will be able to uncover and build up some promising light-weight material from his beginners' classes now in progress. The inter-company teams will largely consist of members of these classes recruited for the company teams and who, if on making good, will be given a chance for the varsity boxing squad.

The following men turned out for the first boxing class last Monday afternoon : Shaler, J. B., Bricken, L. P., Higgins, Jrvin, Frye, Eisler, Reber, W. K., Truesdcll, C, Truesdell, W., Butler, Hubbs, Spraguc, Spannierman, Schwartz, H., Weston, Cramer, C, Hoover, Sze, Custis, Karger, Maggioio, Possan, Mce- han, Dalton, G, Vizzard, Oehrig, Raider. o

Literary Society Elects Officers and Makes Plans

V\ ith the purpose of familiarizing old and new members with the plans for the- new scholastic year, the first meeting of the Woodrow Wilson Literary Society was held Saturday evening, September 24. The meeting was carried on with characteristic formality, and the talks by Major Brice and President Voss were enthusiastically received.

For the benefit of new cadets something about the origin, purpose and advantages derived from being a member of the society was said. The Woodrow Wilson Literary Society originated fifteen years ago. The membership of the society is restricted, the maximum being thirty members. From this number the members of those debating and public speaking teams who have won the Stale Championship for the past several years were chosen.

The advantages derived from this activity are many. The cadet learns to orate, debate, and to be able to rise to the occasion when called upon to speak- in public, all of which are accomplish- ments which are very necessary in the life of a successful man. Aside from these advantages, the quarterly average of the student of English can be raised as much as five points, if he has done exceptional work in the society during the quarter.

The only requirement for membership is a passing grade in every subject. Meetings will be held weekly in the dancing ball on the first floor of Me- morial Hall.

Among the former members of the Society who are back this year are Ca- det Voss, President; Cadet Ramirez, Secretary; Cadet Prebol, Treasurer; Cadet Dalton, J.. Sergeant at Arms; and Cadets Klepper, Roessing and Eu- bank, who constitute- the membership committee. Other members are Cadets Dalton, G., Kirkpatrick, Eisler, Jones, Raider. Bricken, Cook, C. W., and de- Veer. Cadets Seder and Dejesus are candidates yet to be voted on. o

High School Training Grows in Popularity

The scarcity of jobs will make high school education more popular than ever this year, according to a bulletin from the Office of Education of the U. S. De- partment o fthc Interior.

There will be fewer "drop-outs" in the freshman and sophomore years, the bulletin predicts, and many graduates of past years will come back to take post- graduate courses. More than half of all boys and girls of high school age will be enrolled.

The total number of students in all schools will be more than a quarter of the nation's total population, the Office of Education announces. Of the 31,000,- 000 persons affected by the opening of schools, 25,000,000 will attend public ele- mentary and high schools. More than 1,000,000 will register as full-time students at universities and colleges and 250,000 others will, enroll as part-time students. Public kindergartens will serve 800,000.

The educational industry will put 1,500,000 persons back to work. Teach- ers will make up 1,037,605 of these, and there will be 26,953 superintendents and business officers, 37,764 supervisors and principals, 238,306 janitors, 50,000 bus drivers, and 125,000 engineers and other employees.

NOW YOU UNDERSTAND The puzzled high school student wiped

his brow. The question read: "Define a bolt and a nut and explain the difference, if any." Finally he wrote:

"A bolt is a thing like a stick of hard metal such as iron with a square bunch on one end and a lot of scratching wound around the other end. A nut is similar to a bolt only just the opposite, being a hole in a little chunk of iron sawed off short with wrinkles around the inside of the hole."
