BWH
Summer School To
Open on June 21
Announcement is made that the
11 tli Annual Summer Session of
the Staunton Military Academy will
begin on June 21, 1961. and end
on August 2, 1961, with Colonel
Wilfred B. Webb as Director and
ten other faculty members comprising the staff.
Last year's staff had Major Lander as Registrar and a faculty
which consisted of Major Moon,
Major Johnson, Major Dodge, Captain Case, Captain Eslinger. Captain Wease, Lieutenant Walker,
and Lieutenant Keister.
The summer school meets the
needs of students who must make
up back work in English, mathematics, history, and languages, and
provides the students with a preview of different subjects for the
new school year.
Typing and
Remedial Reading are also offered.
The summer school has an informal program — no reveilles, no
formations, and no uniforms. The
faculty and the fifty to sixty students live in the Junior School
Barracks, eat in the Upper Mess
Hall, and enjoy Captain Johnson's
best meals. Classes are held in
Memorial Hall. Last year six coeds attended.
Athletics are an important part
of the program; Major Johnson
serves as Athletic Director. The
swimming pool, one of the finest
prep pools in the South, will be
open; the small gym, athletic fields,
and tennis courts will also be available. Picnic trips to historic and
recreation sites in the area will also
be organized.
The daily schedule begins with
breakfast at 8:00, classes at 8:45,
lunch at 1:40, rest hour at 2:30,
athletics at 3:30, C.Q.'s at 7:45,
and Taps at 10:30.
Catalogues and enrollment blanks
are available at the Business Office
and from Colonel Webb.

PAT CANNAVINO
Cadet Captain Pasquale G. Cannavino, commonly known to all as
"Pat," holds the position of Company Commander of "F" Company
(Junior School). Cannavino, who
hails from the city of Cleveland,
entered S.M.A. in 1957 as a freshman. The following year, he was
promoted to cadet corporal in "E"
Company. Last year, Cannavino
displayed outstanding leadership
traits as a sergeant first class and
this year, he has applied them excellently.
In the four years that Cannavino
has been at S.M.A., he has earned
the Merit Ribbon—three times, the
Commandant's
Ribbon — three
times, and the Military Ribbon—
twice. He has also been a member
of the Howie Rifles for two years,
and this year, a member of the
Cotillion Club. Cannavino has also
been active in intramural swimming, baseball, basketball, and football. After graduation, Cannavino
plans to study business and interior decorating at Bowling Green
University or Ohio State University.
Headmaster's
Notes
March 20, 21, 22, 23 are part of
the fourth quarter. Work so that
all grades earned on these days
will be good ones.
Cadets who need re-examinations
in any of there subjects should
make definite plans regarding these
re-examinations before Spring Furlough starts.
Juniors will take the National
Merit Scholarship Test on Tuesday, 7 March.
Sophomores and Freshmen will
take the National Educational Development Tests on Saturday, 11
March. These are aptitude tests
whose results arc much used by
colleges.
Cadets taking these tests should
do their best on them.
Juniors! Make your plans now
to take the practice College Hoard
examinations in May. The results
of these tests are most helpful in
planning for college.
Juniors! Write for an application
blank to the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey.
Consult college catalogues about
entrance requirements. Remember
that meeting the minimum requirements of any college is not sufficient in today's keen competition.
It is sometimes good for juniors
to visit colleges during the summer
preceding their senior year. No
student should plan to visit colleges during his senior year except
when on vacation.
It is not too early for juniors to
begin planning for their college
careers.
If there are any seniors who
have not applied for admission to
college, they should do so at once.
As usual, the Headmaster will be
glad to assist any senior with his
application.
MIKE DUKE
Cadet Captain Michael S. Duke,
who resides at Baltimore, Maryland, is presently in his fourth and
senior year at S.M.A. Coming to
S.M.A. in 1957, Duke was assigned
to "Echo" Company. The following year he returned as staff sergeant, which is a very meritorious
rank for a sophomore. Last year,
Duke was promoted to master sergeant as a platoon leader of "E"
Company, and it is significant to
note that he led his "leprechauns"
to the role of "the best drilled platoon of the Corps."
"hat Mike" as he is commonly
known by the Corps, has been very
active in many school functions:
The Cotillion Club 3-4; The Decorating Committee 3-4; the honorable Howie Rifles 3-4; the Kablcgram Staff 3; and the Scimitar
Staff 4. As far as honors and
awards go, Duke has earned the
following: The Military Ribbon—twice; the Merit Ribbon—twice;
and the Commandant's Ribbonthree times. Next year, Duke
plans to attend the LTniversity of
Maryland.
