The Code deals with five major areas: lying, stealing, cheating, prevention of all viola- tions whenever possible, and the reporting of all violations of this code to any member of the Honor Court. "Honor is the base of good character, and for this reason it is each cadets' responsibility to respect the Honor System," de- clared Evans. o Dr. Saalbach Speaks To Corps On October 18, a representative of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Saalbach, spoke to the Corps of Cadets. Dr. Saalbach explain- ed that the University was a pri- vate school, not in any way at- tached to the State College. The University, located in Philadelphia, not far from the downtown area, is made up of many different col- leges and offers strong courses in such fields as all medical studies, the engineering fields, and in busi- ness administration. Dr. Saalbach made the following general observations: contrary to popular opinion, it is not as hard for a good student to get into the College of 3'our first choice as many think. In the office of ad- missions of any college, admission is considered only if the student's work is commensurate with his capacity. No college admissions office will approve the entrance of a student unless they feel he can do the work. If the student is passing and doing all he can, even though his grades may not be as good as another's, he has an ex- cellent chance for admission. o Pictures A good representative yearbook depends upon everyone having his picture made. Photographers for the Shrapnel will be here on Mon- day, Tuesday, and Wednesday (October 28, 29, 30) to take in- dividual pictures. Hours will be 8:15 to 1:20 and 2:45 to 5:00. Everyone plan to be there. 'B', 'F' Companies Lead Intramural Swimming On Friday, October 4, under the supervision of Major Dodge, In- tramural Swimming started with flying colors when "B" Company overtook "A" Company in a fairly even match. This year, as last year at this time, it appears that "F" and "B" Companies are the strongest of the undefeated teams, but an upset is always possible. The rest of the Companies have not given up hope in their fight for the championship slot, and are proving to be gaining added strength as the season pro- gresses. Participation in intramural sports is encouraged for all concerned, not only because of the Honor Company points concerned, but also for the learning of a lesson all should be familiar with—good sportsmanship.

DENNIS G. CASE Faculty Adviser

Editorial This week we use the editorial page to pass on to

the Corps of Cadets the advice of a former Cadet, Donald P. Minot, '57. Below are pertinent portions of his recent letter to the Headmaster.

The Editor

I particularly express my pride in Staunton, not only because I am one of its alumni, but because I realize that without the thorough preparation I received from Staun- ton both in character and knowledge I could never have attained the opportunity of furthering my education which I now hold.

I would like to take a portion of this letter, however, to speak to the Corps. Although advice concerning col- lege reaches you every year from Staunton alumni, I feel now that I am in the same position repetition of this ad- vice is certainly worth hearing again.

Although I have been associated intimately with col- lege life for little over a month, I certainly have come to realize the importance of taking advantage of a thorough college preparation. This fact becomes more important, as year by year it becomes increasingly more difficult to enter institutions of higher learning.

To make things even more challanging to our genera- tion, a college education is practically the chief ingredient for ultimate success. As times become more technical and good business positions more competitive, no doubt a graduate school education will reach a level of importance equal to a college education today. From these facts alone it has become so imperative for a person to build and de- velop the basic fundamentals of knowledge which a school such as S.M.A. offers.

With this in mind, may I wish the Corps all the de- termination and wisdom possible in order to harvest the abundant opportunities available at Staunton in prepar- ing for the years of college ahead and a life of success and happiness.

With a feeling of great pride and honor as an S.M.A. alumnus, I remain,

Respectfully yours, Donald Minot

Headmaster's Notes

1. Cadets who have re-examina- tions or validating examinations pending should attend to them at the earliest possible time. . First quarter examinations will soon be upon us.

2. Seniors are reminded to place their names and home addresses on all forms for college entrance before handing them into the of- fice of the Headmaster. From the headmaster's office these forms must be sent directly to the col- lege. They can not be returned to parents or students.

3. Attention is again called to the fact that applications to take any one or any part of one Col- lege Entrance Board's examination involves two operations: (1) The cadet must write the College En- trance Examination Board, P. O. Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey, and request a BULLETIN OF INFORMATION. (2) The appli- cation form in the bulletin must be filled in and returned to the Board with the proper fee at least three weeks before the date of the ex- amination.

4. When applying for admission to college, write the Dean of Ad- missions and tell him that you are graduating in June, 1958, and request information concerning September entrance. Ask for a catalogue, and application form, and any other necessary informa- tion. If you wish, mention your interest in such things as engineer-

ing, business administration, etc. 5. When the application forms

arrive from the college or univer- sity, the applicant and his parents make the actual application in ac- cordance with the instructions. If a blank transcript is sent, the ap- plicant fills in his name and home address and brings the form to of- fice of the Headmaster.

6. The catalogue and all papers should be read carefully to see whether entrance examinations are required. Note especially what is said about the College Entrance Board's examinations. Some col- leges and universities always re- quire them; some do not.

7. If College Board Examinations are required, check to see if both morning and afternoon examina- tions are required. If aptitude only is required, the January examina- tions are usually indicated. All North Carolina Colleges that are state supported require the morn- ing CEEB aptitude examinations.

8. The College Board morning aptitude test is a psychological ex- amination for which cramming is impossible. Cramming for the af- ternoon subject matter examinations is of little value except possibly in algebra in which a senior might be rusty.

9. Descriptive bulletins of the various tests of the Board are sent with the BULLETIN OF IN- FORMATION. This argues for an early application for the exam- ination that a student is to take. Samples of these bulletins and of the BULLETIN OF INFORMA- TION may be seen in the library and on the academic bulletin board.

Stewart B. Hannon Stewart Bryan Hannon, "Stew"

to his friends, was born in New- ark, N. J., but later moved to Rariton, where he completed grade school. He came to S.M.A. in his Freshman year and immediate- ly took an active interest in school activities, especially in intramural sports, participating in all of them from the time of his arrival at Staunton. He broad jumped for the track team during his Junior year.

Now third battalion commander, he is in his fourth year at S.M.A. He is editor of the Kablegram news staff and is a member of the Cotillion Club. He has been a member of the Howie Rifles for three years.

Hannon's favorite pastime is laughing at Newton. He has won the Headmaster's Ribbon five times and the Military and Command- ant's Ribbons twice.

Hannon plans to attend Carnegie Tech after being graduated from S.M.A.

Pass In Review Girl of the Week

George A. Chapman, Jr.

George Chapman, better known around the campus as "Chappy,"

holds the rank of Captain in com- mand of the Second Battalion. He entered S.M.A. four years ago as a freshman and has energetical- ly participated in many school ac- tivities, which have brought him much popularity among the cadets on the "hill." Chapman, born in Saginaw, Michigan, where he at- tended grade school, now lives in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Chapman has been extremely in- terested in sports throughout his stay at the academy. He has been an active member of the Varsity Football team for four years, play- ing in the quarterback and end positions. He has played on the J.V. basketball team for four years and on the track team for two; he has also played on the baseball team and in intramural sports.

Chapman has won the Military Ribbon six times, the Command- ant's Ribbon seven times, and the Headmaster's Ribbon three times. In his Junior year he won the Citizenship Medal, which is given to one of the most outstanding cadets in the corps.

THE KABLEGRAM

Varsity Shaded By VMI, 14-12; SMA Jayvees Trample G M S, 21 - 0 SPORT SHORTS ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

by Pete Tattersall In the last issue I made some |

comments on the games and the stars we have this season. This week I would like to spotlight those who play in the middle of the line. I would like to have you meet the ones who make the holes, throw the blocks, and give and take an elbow or two. These are the big boys who seldom make headlines, but, when molded to- gether with the backfield, they form one of the finest teams to play for S.M.A. in years.

On the flanks we have Kevin Ward and George Chapman. Kevin is from Massachusetts. Last sea- son he played center, but this year's lack of ends has caused the switch. Kevin has come through in great form and looks to be Andy Melosky's favorite target. He completely faked William and Mary and caught the pass that put S.M.A. ahead to stay.

On the other end we have an- other transfer student, Chappy Chapman. A quarterback the last three years, Chappy is overjoyed with the switch. But, he has been hampered with injuries this year, and Coach McCue is anxiously awaiting his return to form. Chap- py is from Blacksburg, Virginia, and hopes to attend the U. S. Naval Academy.

At the tackle post are two of Coach McCue's most stable boys, Rudy Simko and Richard Fullam. Rudy has been slowed by a broken toe, but, after missing some action in the first two games, has come back to prove to be the most talk- ed about lineman on the club. Rudy is from Duquesne, Pennsyl- vania.

Fullam is a work horse who hardly ever misses a second of a game. Nicknamed "Bonzo" by the boys, he looks far from an ape or monkey. He can move like a cat

J.V.'s Continue Winning Streak, As Varsity Meets First Defeat Varsity

Andy Melosky One of this season's greatest

quarterbacks is Andy Melosky, who hails from Allentown, Penn- sylvania. Before attending S.M.A. he was Allentown High's star quarterback.

Andy, a 6' 1", 180 pounder, has been responsible for twelve points by his own running and, also, has completed four touchdown passes. His achievements have accounted for S.M.A.'s fine showing thus far.

Against Emory and Henry he tossed to Kevin Ward, the major touchdown pass of the game. Also he completed nine out of eleven passes for a total of 18S yards gained.

After scoring the first touchdown against William and Mary on an end run, he completed a pass to Ward for the winning score. Andy also made 17 passes against V.M.I., which has accounted for 250 yards.

Next year, Andy is very interest- ed in attending the University of Florida. If he goes there, Florida will be acquiring a very fine pros- pect for quarterbacking their foot- ball squad in coming years.

Kevin Ward Kevin Ward, hailing from Wake-

field, Massachusetts, is one of this week's Athletes of the Week be- cause of his fine showing on S.M.A.'s great team. He is an end.

Some of Kevin's achievements include his catching a pass from Melosky and his scoring the win- ning touchdown against William and Mary. Ken made a great catch against Emory and Henry that helped the cause of victory. He has looked exceptionally well in all of his games. He is also a great defensive star.

Kevin has plans to play basket- ball, in which he is a forward, and to throw the shot on the track squad.

As well as being a top football player at Wakefield High, he was also a star in baseball and track there.

After graduation from S.M.A., Kevin plans to attend Michigan State. Then he would like to play pro football.

The Hilltoppers travelled to Lexington and dropped their first game of the season to the V.M.I. J.V.'s, 14-12 on Friday, October 11. The loss snapped a three game win streak and was a real bad one to lose. One thing about the loss is that the pressure of an undefeated season is now off and the boys are really ready to make their military foes look sick.

The Hilltoppers rolled up an of- fence of 406 yards, passing for 299 and getting the rest on the ground. The game would have been out of the reach of V.M.I., had S.M.A. found a way to stop the fumbles.

The Hilltoppers scored once in the second period and again in the fourth. They fumbled three times deep in V.M.I, territory.

Mike Harmatuck got things go- ing by taking a punt on his own 45. He picked up the blocking and went all the way. The point after touchdown was missed and V.M.I, led 7-6 at the half.

In the fourth quarter V.M.I, led 14-6, when S.M.A. got really rolling. Andy Melosky hit Kevin Ward for a thirty-eight yard gain on his own 45. Three plays later Andy threw a beautiful pass, which Mike Harmatuck again pulled in and went the entire distance. Again Sondje missed the point, and the final score read 14-12.

The turning point in the game came when Andy Melosky fumbled on his own three, which resulted in a gift touchdown for V.M.I.

The game was marred with in- juries as Chappy Chapman rein- jured his shoulder.

The line play of Rudy Simko, Dick Fullum, and Jake Gionelli was great. On defense, again Tom Campbell and Dave Bishop back-

Junior Varsity S.M.A. J.V. football squad con-

tinued its winning ways at the ex- pense of G.M.S. J.V., Thursday, October 17, at Lewisburg, W. Va.

The game marked the third straight win of the charges of Coaches Pandak and Johnson. For Greenbrier, it was the first loss in five games and the only time an opponent has scored on them.

S.M.A. kicked to G.M.S. and forced them to punt after three running plays. Taking the ball on their own 30, the Hilltoppers moved .behind the dive plays of Fred Fesenmyer and Bob Theriot, mixed with the outside sweeps of fullback Rick Chernoff. Chernoff scored on a 40 yard sweep, only to have it called back because of a holding penalty. However, this only delayed the score, as the S.M.A. eleven moved steadily to- ward the goal. The score was made on a quarterback sneak by John Graham, and Chernoff ran the extra point over.

The ball was taken by G.M.S. and again the S.M.A. team held. Graham took the G.M.S. punt and ran it back 10 yards to the S.M.A. 35 and was shaken up on the play. Diminuitive Fred Meyer took over the S.M.A. quarterback's chores and led them to the G.M.S. 15 yard line. Graham returned to the line to score again on a sneak play, with Bob Theriot running the extra point over. The halftime score was S.M.A. 14 — G.M.S. 0,.

The second half found the field a quagmire as the rain came down steadily. Running was almost neg- ligible in this half, as the backs could hardly keep their footing.

In the third period Graham passed to Jim Stark, and the lanky end took the short pass and ran

J.V. Player of the Week

FRED FESENMYER Sixteen year old Fred Fesen-

myer, from Bradford, Pa., has been chosen JV Player of the Week because of his fine showing against VSDB. In this game, won by our JV, "Fess" scored a brilliant touchdown on the first kickoff and was one of the top ground-gainers in the game.

"Fess" is a 5 foot 10 inch 166 pound left halfback, who has play- ed two full seasons of Varsity ball as well as being a top star on the JV squad.

Fred thinks this year's JV squad is one of the best he has seen and that the team will continue its fine playing throughout this season. He believes that the spirit on the team can't be beaten anywhere. o

and block like a bulldozer. On defense he is often seen coming up on the bottom of the pile and can hit as hard as anyone on the club.

For guards we have Bill Tucker and Jimmy Gianelli. Bill played his ball for T. J. in Richmond, but now hails from Miami, Fla. Bill was slow starting, but has come along fine and nailed down the guard slot. He adds the needed weight and height to his side of the line. Bill's line play improves as each game goes past.

Two men down from Bill we find Jake Gianelli. Jake is one who always turns in a fine job. Like many fine guards, while play- ing he is over-looked, but when not there, you miss him like your right arm. Jake comes from Al- lentown, Pa. He hopes to attend Williams. Where ever he goes, he is sure to play lots of ball.

Having lost Denny Clark, Coach McCue found himself a fine cen- ter in Jarrett Wood. Although he weighs only 180 pounds, Wood is one of the best offensive blockers in the league. If in doubt, just ask quarterback Andy Melosky. Mel says that Woody is a fine blocker and, like the rest of the line, gives him fine protection. The center from V.M.I, said Butcli

was the best blocker he had play- ed opposite all year. Woody makes up for his lack of size by all the hustle and chatter that makes him a real spark plug.

Poundage presents no problem. Big Ed Plummer and Charley Neff supply ample depth. Ed is play- ing tackle and filled in very well for Rudy Simko when the latter was out with a broken toe. Char- ley Neff is also from Duquesne, Pa. Charley is a good guard and plays a great deal of ball each game. His best play is on offen- sive end, where he likes to team up with his old teammate from high school, Rudy Simko.

These are the boys who break fingers, knock heads, and, every now and then, they score a touch- down. But if ever one is in doubt as to their value, just ask a back. And speaking of backs, next time around we will take a close look at the backfield.

The Varsity game scheduled for October 19 with Columbian Prep was cancelled by Colum- bian Prep because of an influ- enza epidemic there.

forty yards for the last touchdown. Diney Young ran the final point over.

The game was marked by fine S.M.A. defensive line play. Line- men Steve Kott, John Adams, Larry Rasch, and Ron Flood kept G.M.S. from threatening but once. Linebackers Barney Block and Bob DeMaria made a great portion of the tackles, leaving Coach John- son proud of his defensive unit.

All in all, team play has been the prime factor in S.M.A.'s wins thus far. They will face Miller School at Charlottesville on Oc- tober 25.
