Castle Heights Military Academy - Yearbook (Lebanon, TN)

This lovely building was the gift of a 'former cadet, Rutherford Parks of Dallas, Texas. Few schools are for- tunate in the possession of as beau- tiful and complete a centre of study and enjoyment of good reading. 1 ll HE FACULTY is literally that, the Heart of the School, the life-giving centre, from which must come the currents which energize, feed and quicken the entire body. We must have modern equipment, teacher train- ing, degrees, tests and measurements and the material things which go to assist the teacher, but after all the kind of man that teacher is, is still the supreme consid- eration. Castle Heights has five executives, of from ten to twenty-Hve years experience in teaching boys. Any one of these men might well be superintendent of a school. All of them teach in the classroom, subdividing the executive duties so that they will not interfere with what we consider here the most vital work at the Academy, namely, the personal contact with cadets in the class- room from day to day. Colonel Armstrong is a Castle Heights product, having worked to his present position from that of lowest instructor. Witli the exception of several years spent as Dean and Head of the Depart- ment of Mathematics at Cumberland University, he has been at C. H. M. A. since 1909. Thousands of Castle Heights cadets have felt his Hrm, but kindly, guidance. , 1. . . ,M ' ff fi V37 si ily ' , .fi Q 5 ,. if ,I ,S 3 , Vi ig .1 i i H71 CADETS RECEIVE PERSONAL ATTENTI Lt.-Col. Buchanan, Ph.D., Dean, brings to the Mathe- matics Department a rich experience and preparation. He, too, has been teaching for twenty years. Major Kendall, the Headmaster, for fifteen years has held positions of responsibility. The English courses take on vital interest under his compelling hand. He is the friend of every boy in the Academy and a wise and patient helper when a boy is in dilliculty. Major Ingram has the more or less thankless task of Commantlant, with its disciplinary burden, but in spite of that fact the boys love and respect him for the impartiality which accompanies his strictness. Major Pence, the professor of Military Science and Tactics, has the regard of every cadet in the school for his qualities as a gentleman and a soldier. He typifies in the highest degree the best traditions of the Service, and has identified himself with the school to a remarkable degree. Every member of the faculty is interested in boys. Each has been chosen for outstanding ability in appeal- ing to, inspiring and developing boy-life and character. Each has been chosen for those qualities of heart and life which will live on and on in the lives of the boys whom he teaches. in-- Y
