ACTIVITIES OF 1945-1946 The school year of 1945-1946 proved to be a great one for Eastern Military Academy. The calendar was crowded with events from September until .lune which were participated in by the cadets and enioyed by all. The athletic contests, both inter-scholastic and intra- mural, pep meetings, trips, vespers, chapels, banquets, dances, club meetings and social gatherings proved to be a great value in the all- round development of members of the corps and invaluable in the spirit and high morale of the school. The football season started in a rather depressing manner, but after it got underway and the boys really got started it progressed favorably. The highlight of the season was a hard-earned victory over King School. ln basketball, coached by Mr. Megna, the boys, true to form, started slowly and with little practice, but came through like a championship .five with a season's record of fifteen wins and five losses. During the season they beat two college teams. Our '46 baseball team put on a real exhibition for an inexperienced outfit under the fine coaching of Mr. Dean Gordon and pitching of Edward Boyars. One of the best games of the season was our win over Admiral Farragut by a score of 3-2, with Hubert, short-stop, banging a triple to clinch the victory. A lot of fun for the cadets, as well as the players, was the varsity's shellacking the faculty, 15-1. This year saw our first Lacrosse team in action, play- ing several top-notch teams in the east. There was lots of enthusiasm for the sport and undoubtedly it will become a major sport here. Much credit for the organi- zation of the team and its fine work goes to Lynn Mauk, who did much of the coaching due to the lack of a regular coach. In track, also coached by Mr. Gordon, the school had a very successful season. Robert Curry was the leading point-getter with 49, while Ralph Cobian was second with 36. The following school records were established: 100-yard dash, 10:00 seconds by Cobian, 220-yard dash, 23:07 seconds by Cobian, 440-yard dash, 52:02 seconds by Curry, high iump, 5 feet, 834 inches by Curry, broad iump, 18 feet, 1 inch by Andre. Wilhelm and Mauk did excellent work in the 'field events. The tennis team, under the new coach, Mr. Marion Andre, played a six-game schedule. The boys, though inexperienced, with the exception of Frank Guthridge, made fine progress during the year, winning-several games, but not quite enough to take the matches. A new organization this year was the Masque 8. Gavel Dramatic Club. Sponsored by Mrs. Marion O. Andre, the group was composed of both seniors and iuniors who enioyed several social times. Besides plays, speech and social etiquette were studied. In the military department, the corps won 'fine acclaim for their work in parades and during inspec- tions and received a high rating, under the R.O.T.C., from the government of the United States. The work of our band was one of the features of their work, playing under the direction of Mr. Charles Clough. Several boys sang in the Vesper Choir which added much to the regular Sunday Vespers. Mr. Clough also had charge of this group. There were some other minor clubs busy during the year, but space does not permit a resume here. The members of the Class of 1946 are to be com- mended for their wholehearted support of and par- ticipation in all school activities. Over half the class were playing Varsity Lacrosse and they, as a class, were instrumental in the success of other activities. The class was organized with Mr. Marion O. Andre as its advisor. Lieutenant Bruce Shatanoff was elected President, Captain Ralph' Cobian, Vice-President, Lieutenant Samuel Israel, Secretary, Lieutenant John Truitt, Treasurer, and Lieutenant James Barger was Social Chairman. This class of seniors was the nucleus of the corps and was greatly admired and envied by the cadets. They set a high standard for later classes to maintain. The Class of 1947 and the whole corps wish them the best of success in their life's endeavors, and thanks them for their contribution to the schfool and the corps.
