LETTERS FROM DAT From MRS. 6: MRS. PETER A. VANCE, WASHINGTON, D. C. The completion of the school year is nearing. Another year of lofty services, another year of many worthy accomplishments can be counted, proudly and justly so, by C. H. M. A. under the wise and fatherly guidance and the hearty cooperation of every member of the faculty of Castle Heights Military Acad- emy. Our son, Andrew P. Vance, has been privileged to be under the influence of such exemplary men and it seems insigni- ficant and inadequate that all we can do, at the present, is to express to you, Colonel Armstrong, and every member of the faculty who directly or indirectly have helped our son, Andrew, not only to keep but to further cultivate his ideals under the in- fluence bf your altruistic and exemplary lives. From MR. R. E. FISHER, ' COLUMBUS, OHIO My older son graduated from the Heights . last June, and entered one of the largest universities on the credits that were developed at the Heights, without further investigation of any kind. The fact that he was a graduate of Castle Heights was sufficient in every manner. My secondboy is now in his Junior year and he is developing in alltdirections so well that a feeling of serenity is present when we think of his developmenf. Colonel Armstrong has a staff and an institution that will develop every talent that a boy has, and will develop self-re- liance and physical courage beyond any expectation. I will always believe that the greatest good 'and kindness that I could bestow upon my children was sending them to Castle Heights under the influence of Colonel Armstrong and his staff. From HoN. WALTER CHANDLER, former mayor, MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. Mrs. Chandler and I thank you very much for your kind letter of June rr, and for your warm personal interest in Wyeth's wel- fare throughout the time that he was a Cadet at Castle Heights. We are pleased, indeed, with the results of his training there, and have no doubt that the benefits will far exceed what we can see already. We shall continue our interest in Castle Heights, and hope that, whenever you are in Memphis, you will call and see us, and, whenever we can be of service to the Academy or to the Faculty, you will not hesitate to call on us. ' From COL. FRANK Y. BLACKWELL, LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS. I wish to say in closing that Frank, Jr. is the last of four boys, three step-sons, Gilbert, Williams, and Milton Foard, and my own son, Frank Ir. that I have sent to Castle Heights Military Academy and my praises for the institution know almost no bounds. From MR. S. Toon BRowN, MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. In our busy work-a-day world, it is refreshing to pause oc- casionally and reflect on some of the fine accomplishments which so often go unnoticed, or, are taken for granted. This letter is prompted by such a reflection. The recent graduation exercises at Castle Heights afforded Mrs. Brown and me our first opportunity in five years to really see and observe at first hand your school in operation. We were quite impressed with the character of the students, especially their esprit de corps, the faculty members and the type of men who were on the program. The bacculaureate sermon on Sunday morning contained a splendid message to both young and old. We have been quite interested in the school in recent years, but now feel that we can go even farther in our commendation. You and your associates are ,doing an excellent job in the train- ing of youth to meet the graveness of a world today. ll 0 N' S From DR. C. M. SARRATT, Vice-Chancellor Vanderbilt University, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. It is with genuine pleasure that I write a brief statement about the relation of Castle Heights and Vanderbilt University. Castle Heights has long been a source of well-prepared students for our freshman classes. Many of our alumni were educated at both institutions. We are accustomed to expect boys from Castle Heights to be prepared, not only intellectually for college work, but disciplined and conditioned for self-government. just as an illustration, the co-captains of our football team for the fall of 1947 were both prepared for Vanderbilt at Castle Heights. Both had interrupted their education for brilliant service in the United States Marines during the war. Both returned to college to complete the work for their degrees. Both are leaders in every worthwhile aspect of campus life. Colonel Armstrong and many of the faculty at Castle Heights are personal friends of long standing. From MRs. NxNA BROWN KARCH, ST. LOUIS, MO. I I cannot speak too highly of Castle Heights, the teachers, physical plant, cooperation-everything is of the very highest. When Charles left for Castle Heights, he was most indifferent as to his studies, did not always pass his subjects,,was lazy about studying, and somewhat careless about his Yes Sirs -all this has changed in two short years. Now he is very ambitious, studies as soon as he gets home, is anxious to get good grades, polite and most cooperative. It is almost unbelievable the difference in just from September until when they return for Christmas vacation. The,food is fine there and the teachers, while strict on discipline, also know how to unbend and make the boys like them. Charles is pointed out now as ua very polite boy and often asked where he acquired it, as mostihigh school students are lazy about polite- ness. When he informs thefh he has been in military school- the teachers all say: That explains it. N From MRS. JOHN B. PRIVEIT, BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA I wish to again thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did for my boy. I shall be eternally grateful to you for your understanding and patience with him and with me. I hhpe to always help the school in any capacity I may, so please give me the privilege of proving my friendship. From MRS. Ross LYONS, ' C1-IESHIRE, CONN. . . Hardly a week goes by that I don't think of Castle Heights with gratitude and this is just to express once again the affection and appreciation I feel for the institution and everyone and everything connected with it. In my present work naturally I know all about school workings and problems, both from the school and the parents' viewpoint. And with all the things that can be unsatisfactory 'I feel you may be pleased to know that in all my dealings with Heights and all you did land tried to dol for Philip, there was never one thing, one person, any policy or practice that I would have changed or which seemed not fair nor satisfactory in every way. Scholastically Philip did not pro- gress as we would have wished, but that was no one's fault ex- cept his. And he did gain so very, very much in every way from his time at Heights. ' Castle Heights will always seem to me the.ideal school and training ground for a boy and I take every opportunity to tell people what I think of it. - My best wishes and thanks always to you and to all the mem- bers of the staff.
