A year outstanding in schol- arship, athletics, and social activities has been recorded between these covers, and it is hoped that the name Massanutten will be loved, cherished, and respected in all the years to come. Remorseful feelings will fill our hearts from that day onward when we bid our school adieu .... THE EDITOR DEDICATI HIS book is dedicated to two very good friends of Massanutten: To Miss KATE V. N. TALMAGE of New York City, who has been a constant con- tributor to our library fund for many years, and whose memory we cherish fondlyg and To Miss AMELIA E. RAHAUSER of Pittsburgh, Pa., whose nurture and whole life in the Re- formed Church have expressed themselves so nobly in generous benefactions to the institu- tions of the church, at home and abroad. Their names are indelibly engraved upon the life history of Massaiiutten. ON 3- .L 'E SPERRY HALL THE VIRGINIA LEE HARRISON GYMNASIUM 'E 5:1-mol.

From the day when Massanutten was composed of a single building Cnow Dr. Benchoff's homej, until the present, the grandest year in Massanutten's history, Dr. Benchoff has labored, dreamed and perfected. Slowly yet steadily under his guiding hands the school has grown, new buildings have been erected, the campus enlarged and beautifled. Massanutten is indeed proud of its Headmaster, and-we like to think-our Headmaster is proud of us. Dr. Benchofl was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. After graduating from high school, he entered Franklin and Marshall College, receiving his AB. in 1898. He taught for five years, and then took graduate work at Columbia University, where he received his Masf ter's degree in 1904. ln 1905 he became Headmaster of Massanutten. The inspiration of a former teacher, Dr.Willian1 Mann Irvine, Headmaster of Mercersburg Academy, led him to undertake the building of the school to which he has dedicated his life during these years. Besides his untiring work at school, Dr. Benchoff has always been active in the civic affairs of both town and state. He organized and has twice been president of the Wood- stock Rotary Club, was president of the Shenandoah National Park Association, and directed the campaign which raised the first million dollars for its development. ln 1920 Dr. Benchoff married Miss Florence Conant CWells College, 19140, of Paterf son, New jersey. Mrs. Benchoil's training and disposition have been invaluable to Dr. Benchoff in his work. Because of their kindness and friendliness, Dr. and Mrs. Bencholf have endeared themselves to faculty and students alike. Their great abilities and pleasing personalities cause all who are privileged to know them to respect and admire them. i131 lk THEADJUTANT-1936 RALPH HENRY ABBAS MAJ. GUYA. BENCHOFF ROBERT J.

It is the name of the fiftyfmile mountain range lying to our east, at the base of which lies the beautiful Anne Lupton Recreation Club. If space permitted and this mountain could speak, it would give a thrilling historical narrative. Massanutten is primarily a school which prepares boys for college. Cther courses are offered, including those in music and in commercial subjects. ln these thirtyfsix years, over eighteen hundred boys have come and gone, many of whom have entered the leading col- leges and universities of this country. Massanutten is fully accredited and boys who win the coveted diploma are admitted into the higher institutions without hesitation. The aim has been to build a school upon the principles of sound scholarship and leadership. Without doing violence to anyone's religious training, no boy can attend Massanutf ten for any length of time without feeling the touch of its strong interest in his welfare, his hopes, ambitions, and his professional success and happiness. Realizing that history repeats itself, and that the laws of nature move slowly and surely, and much the same through succeeding centuries in so far as they relate to human beings, Massanutten aims to develop not only a sound mind, but also a well developed body, for what is life worth without good health? To that end the boys are permitted to enjoy many forms of sport. The equipment is very complete, and there is opportunity for every lad to get into the game of his choice and enjoy the fun of it. ln addition to interscholastic sports which, if not overdone, add zest and spirit to the life of the school, an R.O.T.C. unit strengthens the physical program. The idea is not to teach boys to glorify war of the life of the soldier, but rather to give them a certain training and experience which will not only teach obedi- ence and discipline, but also lead to an intelligent understanding ofthe horrors of war, and thus help to buildup our nation in righteousness and peace. The land and buildings at Massanutten have been made possible by the generosity of the Reformed Church, and many friends who are interested in Christian education from other denominations. The history of the school reads like an epic, and no one can enter its C151 lk THE ADJUTANT-1936 '11 r 'H r 'vlm portals without feeling that they have been touched by something which is distinctly unique and worthy. The school grew from an initial gift of one thousand dollars, which was invested in Riddleberger Hall, the original building now almost sixty years of age. The plan is to complete the equipment for a two hundred boy school, and that wish will have been accomplished when the proposed new dormitory and administration building shall have been erected and completed south of the gymnasium. Then Massanutten will have emerged as a butterfly from the Chrysalis state, with a beautiful campus of twenty acres, decorated with many trees and shrubs, recreation and athletic fields and six buildings. That will mean a happy home for every one of its students. This, together with the continued de- velopment of the ' 'Anne Lupton Recreation Club, ' ' will show a school so attrac- tive that boys will long to enter its portals and enjoy its many advantages. i', 'HR' LISA THE ADJUTANT-1936 lk fl6J awions lf' Eg iff ff 4 K f , f a ' I If ,, WILLIAM JAY 0'BRIEN Bill WILLIAMSPORT, PA. YALE A congenial smile, a swell personality, a good disposition, and a fighting Irish heart Cno harm, Mother, just jokingj all go tof gether to make up that popular personage, Bill O'Brien. Every' where his travels carry him he makes friends-sex making not the least particle of difference to him, although just between you and me, I think that he does not particularly care too much for male- men Football saw our class president playing a guard position and a good one he was. In swimming, Bill's speciality was the backstroke. Bill was elected captain of the track squad Qcigars?j, and capably took care of the weight events. Bill was once a fine student, but along came Winchester and the depression and-well, Bill is now one of the boys trying to slide off the fence on the safe side. And how! X Pk lk JOHN IRWIN ORR, Jr. Jack MT. LEBANON, PA. DARTMOUTH A big smile, frank eyes and a hearty hello in the friendliest manner-that's lack Orr, Vice-President of the Senior Class of '3-6. If any measure of prophecy about 'lack's future in the world exists in his success at Massanutten, his classmates will one day be proud to say- There goes lack Qrr. l went to school with him. Personality plus and aggressive initiative unite to form ,lack's character into a pleasing and helpful factor of wellfbeing at Massanutten. It might be well to add that jack was captain of the football team, played on the basketball team, was a swell short- stop and home-run hitter, was president of the jefferson Debating Society and still managed to find time to run up to Mount jackson quite often. I'lere's wishing there were more like you! THE ADJUTANT-1936 lk 118, LAWRENCE CLAYTON HOWARD ' 'Larry' ' ARLINGTON, NJ. DARTMOUTH Atten-shun! Get everything in tipftop shape, fellows, for here we have the major-domo of the military department. Larry has spent four years at Massanutten and in that comparatively short time has risen in the ranks from a lowly private to the po- sition of greatest responsibility. Needless to say, he has merited all the confidence so aptly placed in him. He knows his military like Lindbergh his airplanes, Kreisler his music and Einstein his relativity. Larry has been a mainstay of the rifle team, and hasn't done so badly as a musician either, having been a member of both the band and the Glee Club. To our esteemed cadet leader we say- Hail and Farewell! Pk lk Pk SCOTT BLANCHARD, Jr. Scott BROOKLYN, N.Y. BROWN It will be a long time before Massanutten finds a Battalion Adf jutant as likable and as personable as our Captain Scott Blanchard. Scott is always way up that in the scholastic average-all with due practice of a little keen wittedness and concentration. Scott is no esthetic one-sided student-he is a live, good-natured Ameri- , can boy. His activities in school life at Massanutten have been many and varied. He seems to have a finger in every pie everyf time anything at all important happens or is planned. There is a very nice smile which he has that is very beguiling, to say the least. Candor and frank sincerity are the keynotes ofhis character. A fine sense ofhumor has been thrown in for good luck for this All-American recipe Alpha to Omega in fresh American youthfulness is Scott Blanchard-a Massanutten officer and gentleman. 1192 lk THEADJUTANT-.1936 HWY 'W- JOHN ADAM K lWimpy9, MIDDLETOWN, MD. CATAWBA john hails from Middletown, Maryland, where his father preaches the gospel in one of our own churches, but Wimpy, for by that sobriquet he is known to his fellow-cadets, has no penchant for the pulpit. As a matter of fact, Wimpy firmly believes that one's school work should never interfere with one's pleasure, and we know of no one who could adhere more closely to this bit of philosophy than he does. He played in the R.O.T.C. band and was a nonfcommissioned officer with the rank of sergeant. Though he maintains that he will never cross the threshold of any higher institute of learning, great things may come his way. BEN S. APPLEGATE Dutch' ' PHILADELPHIA, PA. UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY Here is a cadet whose quiet and pleasing personality has won for him many friends among the student-body. His accomplishments center around his ability as a scholar, but his interests are not entirely academic, for he is an athlete of no mean ability. As a member of the football and swimming squads he has shown promise of becoming heard of in these sports at the US. Naval Academy where he intends to join the plebes in September. Ben has qualities which should serve him to good advantage at Annapolis and we wish him every success in his proposed union with the Navy. FRITZ H. BACHARACH ' 'Fritz' ' THE AD PITTSBURGH, PA. DUKE Fritz's ancestry may take him across the Atlantic to the Rhineland, but, be that as it may, he came to us from the 'Smoky City along with the other nu- merous Pitrsburghers. Little is known at present of this lad but we expect the future to be far more revealing. With M.M.A. diploma to back him he expects to crash the gates of Duke University next fall. With his student-like appearance we feel certain that no crashing of gates will have to be done but that they will automatically open up to receive him. Anyway, we're hoping that fame and fortune will come his way and plenty of it! UTANT-1936 lk C201 .E WILLIAM BAGSHAW ' 'Bebo' ' CALIFORNIA, PA. ALABAMA lfstarring in three major sports was Bill's ambition upon entering Massanut- ten, certainly he has fully realized his ambition. During the football season he was on the receiving end of many successful forward passes and on the tossing end of man laterals. Coolness, dependability in a tight spot, and a generally smooth perfyormance on the basketball Hoot won for him a most deserved place on the all-state prep school team. His abilities are by no means confined to ath- letics as can easily be seen from his academic record. Clean-cut looks, a con- tagious smile, and an unfailing sense of humor have won for Bebo the friend, ship of both students and faculty. MURRAY B. BAKER 56Bake1 9 PROVIDENCE, R .l. BROWN Hailing from Providence, where the A's are as broad as in Boston, Bake has disclosed that he has the capacity if not the industry to make A's in his stud- ies. While these words are supposed to be more honeyed than critical, we think too much of Murray's potentialities to spare him this friendly tip. By the way, he's the sort of fellow who could tell you what potentialities means, too. Un- decided between Brown and Annapolis, he is already at sea. All barbs aside, Murray seems to have the ideal looks, mood and intellect for the sort ofcorpora- tion lawyer he longs to be. JACK M. BEAMER lCM.ull9, WELCH, W.VA. WASHINGTON AND LEE You may be a traveller de luxe, but, until you all have seen Welch's contribu- tion to Massanutten you have not seen the world. No, he is not the eighth won- der, but he comes very near to being it. When you see a five-foot eight-inch piece of humanity with a body similar to that of jimmy Londos, a pair of legs which match those of Flash Gordon, and a face which may see Hollywood at some time Q Harpo Marx is past his primejg then you have a picture of Cadet Beamer. As the blocking back in football, he did not receive the publicity that he should have. He made it possible for many long runs by removing all obstacles Copposing playersl that were in the way of the ball carrier. Massanutten's loss is Washington and Lee's gain.

BEVERIDGE K jim, 1 - YALE This fellow dims somewhat our determination to avoid strong superlatives in sketching these personalities. So mild and modest, he, nevertheless, has that certain something that makes you want to use Browning's phrase about Words- worth and say instead, so mild and magnifIcent. Never evasive in his prompt and accurate classroom answers, he is the most elusive broken field runner our football team has had for years. At Yale he will star in the professor's eyes as well as in the colorful bowl, for he is the well-rounded type you read about. FREDERICK LOUIS BLANK Freddie NEW YORK CITY WILLIAM AND MARY Freddie is Massanutten's veteran of many years Cthree cheers and a sally for himj. Playing the bass horn may not be the best and most enjoyable vocation, but it-his playing in the M.M.A. band-has kept little Freddie out of many hours of drilling with a rifle and thus saved him much energy Cwalking energyj. This New Yorker was not one of Glunt's mainstays, nevertheless, he was called upon many times to sub for a fast tiring tackle, and he always came through with flying colors. Freddie isn't worrying about ever becoming valedictorian of his class, but neither is he worrying about leading his class from the wrong end fffomprende usted?D GERALD J. BREAKSTONE ' 'Breakie' ' PITTSBURGH, PA. CARNEG IE TECH Right this way! The daring young man who broke the flying trape::e! Built along the general lines of an Irish potato, he is as different from the Irish as a Russian ought to be. Well, it's like this. ln four years at Massanutten, l5reakie has distinguished himself for what some gink called genius, namely, 'Lan infInite capacity for taking pains. Really, we don't know what to say about this fel- low-we know him so well. Anyway, if you ever happen to pour into the same hat a dispostion that can hardly be ruffled, a determination such as you find in adventure magazines, and a laissezffaire policy that will never get him in dutch Cdon't worry, we're not going to pun about Holland and Russiaj, you'll pull out a rabbit-we beg your pardon, we stutter or something, we meant Breakstone. THE AD UTANT-1936 lk C221 I f 4 u 1 5 IRA W. BRENEMAN Junior DETROIT, MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN just another Detroit swimmer! Junior, as he is called because no other suit' able nickname has been found, was one of the big factors in the swimming team's not losing any meets. As a student he is of that intelligent type which certainly was present when the brains were shared out because he gets fine grades with comparatively little studying. While junior can and does pun and joke with the best of them, he is more well-known for his impersonations of the big shots that he has seen. We have heard that he eats Grape Nuts, so that he will be able to keep up with a certain dancer who is not too bad at all. My word, Junior. FRANK W. BUDKE, Jr. KfBillY 1 CANONSBURG, PA. SWARTHMORE Gnce upon a time a writer said, l care not who writes the laws of my coun- try if I may write its songs. With a somewhat stretched parody upon that author's words, we should like to say of Bill that we care not what a man says if his laugh is rich and hearty. Now, there's nobody who can laugh quite like Bill. Althou h he prunes and waters all kinds of serious ambitions like beating Dar- row in fegal battles, etc., he's really oing to get his greatest dividend out of life from that sense of humor he has. lfgyou think we've Hlled all this space just to avoid mentioning his grades and his general record, you just take a look at the books for yourself. , ANDREW R. CLARKE KGAndy!! DETROIT, MICH. WILLIAM AND MARY Hailing from Detroit, Andy came to Massanutten a quiet and unassuming fellow. A hard worker in anything he attempts, he has said little but has done a great deal. Nor until you have seen Andy in the water, can you realize his great est asset. His aquatic ability is easily evident when we notice the number of pool records which he has broken during his short stay here. We appreciate his ability, admire his untiring efforts to better it, and predict for him a bright future in the world of swimming competition. C231 X THE ADJUTANT-1936 CRAFTON, PA. ALBERT F. CONRAD fCTiny,Y DUKE Most young chaps as huge as Tiny have the urge to bully their less for- tunate fellows, but with this Behemoth, not so. As gentle as a dove Cexcept when he does a little very amateurj, he sees no harm, thinks no harm, and hears- well, we ain't sayin'. If making money were as simple as doing math or taking an end out of an off-tackle play, Tiny could cell the Colonel to go ahead and start in on a dozen new buildings and that he'd foot the bill. lt may turn out to be that easy for him after all. Who can fancy a business prospect ever saying No to this Tarzan? On second thought, we think we'll just start excavating for the new dorm at least. NATHAN H. CORMAN Bullet WOODSTOCK, VA. FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL l-lonk! Honk! Honk! No, it's not a flock of wild geese overhead, but Bul- let coming at you with his Henry F- fyou guess what kind D coupe. This enter- prising local boy has been a student at Massanutten since away back when, and is as much and as indispensable a part of the school as the mess hall or the Colonel's specs We understand that Bullet has big plans for the future, and we feel confident in redicting happiness and success as rewards which lie just around the corner For you, pal. Good-bye and good luck to one who, we feel assured, will make us all sit up and take notice some day. ' THOMAS COURTNEY, Jr. Tom LAKEWOOD OHIO UNITED STATES NAVAL .ACADEMY Y Lakewood has sent us Knot by our permissionj a handsome, well-built chap with the monicker of Thomas, shortened by the cadets to Tom. Shhhli--it has been rumored that he signs his very personal letters Lochinvar. Our subject is a very conscientious type, quite so in all his undertakings. The fall saw Tom cart- ing and booting the pigskin into kingdom come, the winter season saw the Grecian-built lad splashing his way to many points for the Foutsmen, and the spring term saw our idol tossing and heaving the baseball from the mound 5. la Lefty Grove. Lakehurst has its dirigibles, and Lakewood has its Tom Courtney. THE AD JUTANT-1936 ak un 4:0 WILLIAM W. CUNNINGHAM Bill ALEXANDRIA, VA. GEORGETOWN Bill is the ideal matinee idol-wavy chestnut hair and a rosy complexion. The glasses that he dons in the privacy of his room for study might lead the cas- ual observer into thinking Bill's is an earnest grind. But it isn't-far from that. Bill's somewhat lackadaisical manner has a lazy charm that does much for mak- ing his slow smile seem so very hospitable and sincere. The cadet corps will miss this fine upstanding young lieutenant. Bill, however, is just dying to get out in the world to try his mettle. He is dead sure to succeed-following in the wake of many other great men. NORMAN L. DeCINDIS Norm PHILADELPHIA, PA. PENN STATE Norm came to us from the Quaker State's principal metropolis-Phib adel hia. Although his sojourn at Massanutten has been short, he nevertheless has flound time to make his name well known on the campus. He was a reliable and consistent member ofthe varsity football squad. But he was perhaps a more illuminating figure on the M.M.A. glee club as soloist, in which ca acity he con- vincingly demonstrated his ability and talent. Neither is the art ofppugilism un- known to him, but he has no ambition to be crowned champion. Norm will enter the portals of Penn State next fall, where he will take a business course. Suave, friendly and likable, this chap should have no difficulty in the commercial world. WILLIAM DEN1soN ffBi11 CRANBURY, NJ. GRADUATE WORK Bill came to us as a newcomer last September, but it was only a very short while before we all felt the charm and warmth of his personality. He plans to enter the milling business of his father and work his way up from the bottom until he becomes internationally famous as the big corn, wheat and oats man from New Jersey. Bill has shown real histrionic ability as a member of the Gar- rick Dramatic Club and has rendered invaluable service as a member of the trum- pet section of the band and orchestra. Bill has also been a member of the staff which issues the yellow sheet. l25l Fl! THE ADJUTAN YY! - .W .,., PITTSBURGH, PA. JOSEPH V.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND Hold on there, ladies and gentlemen, and gaze on the countenance of the Ubig pork and beef man from Catonsville. Frank is such a livestock expert that he can take one long, wistful look at brown bossy and tell you without bat- ting an eye whether or not her randpappy came from edigreed stock. We don't know just what plans Frani may have in prospect For the future, but we rather suspect they'll have a meaty twang to them. In athletics, this genial younlg gentleman has limited his activities mainly to track. Here's to you, Fran ! ALLAN C. DUFF ' 'Allan' COLLINGSWOOD, NJ. SPRINGFIELD Allan is a worthy subject for the respect and honor of those who admire in- tense and whole-hearted participation in whatever one undertakes. Not always a winner, this cadet probably derives as much a thrill from the fray as those who are. As an armory stooge, track candidate, infantry corporal and general util- ity man, Allan keeps the campus buzzin with activity. Each day, from reveille until taps, he can be seen dashing to ant? fro concentrating his determined coun- tenance upon the objective to be accomplished, whether it be a hundred-yard dash or the mastication of a Wrigley's finest. Allan works as hard as he plays, and best of all, he is sure to get a big kick out of life! THE AD UTANT-1936 lk C265 ALBERT G. FREROTTE CCAIQ, FORD CITY, PA.

Easy-going Al becomes perturbed at nothing, even though the boys are making sport of him Cwe never did for several reasons D. Pittsburgh is going to get a wonderful foot- ball center next fall. That never-say-die spirit stamps Al as the type of athlete who is not only oing to be good, but is going to be a great player. Swearing on the athletic field fsertering his form, getting more distance, Al is destined ro make a name for himself. Don't be surprised to find Frerotte on the 1940 Olympic Team. ROBERT B. GABRIEL I 6B0b7! DETROIT, MICH. MICHIGAN During his sojourn at Massanutten Bob has made an enviable record for himself in more than one phase of school life. An excellent student, captain of a championship swimming team, president of the science club, he is the type of student equally appreciated by coaches and teachers. His continual cheerfulness and amiable personality will make him long remembered by students, faculty and townspeople. The college of his choice, whether it be the University of Michigan or Washington and Lee University, may be sure that it has enrolled a capable student and a dependable athlete. FRANK W. GEARING, Jr. X CCDOCH WOODSTOCK, VA. UNIVERSITY or VIRGINIA Woodstock, the quiet, slumbering village of Civil and Revolutionary War fame claims Frank as one of its worthy citizens. But we hesitate to say whether Frank feels the same way about it. Quiet, reticent, but alert, we can only opine as to his future. Whether he will follow in his farher's footsteps and seek his fame and fortune in the medical world only the days that lie ahead can tell Bur judging by the way he makes the music roll from a sax, he will some day make any musician sit up and take notice. Whatever course he follows, we feel sure that he will appease the souls of the afflicted-either by mellow notes or sooth ing balms. V273 lk THE ADJUTANT-1936 CLIFFORD H. HAHN Woodchuck PITTSBURGH, PA. PRINCETON A remarkably brilliant mind and a will to work have enabled Woodchuck to win first academic honors among the Seniors with almost monotonous reg- ularity lnclined to be very quiet when he entered Massanutten, his year here has done a great deal toward destroying his inhibitions about expressing himself. Although not a natural athlete, he was the most determined and persistent mem- ber of the ayVee football squad. He has those qualities which usually spell suc- cess In his chosen field of engineering. We predict for him success, both in col- lege life and in his work thereafter. LINUS R. HALIN Dixie TARENTUM, PA. PURDUE I-low the name of Dixie was ever acquired is beyond us, because he is not from anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon Line. However, he lives up to the name with his easy-going personality, but he does have a habit of passing out some very sarcastic remarks-but all in fun. ln football we can use the old proverb that, As an end, 'Dixie' made a swell halfbackf' Being very tough fphysicallyj and a deadly tackler, he should go far in football. He has a build which reminds one of an All-American quarterback. A Little Bit Independent describes Dixie in his attitude to the opposite sex. We have heard that he really and truly wears the pants in that Grace-ful love affair of his. Although Dixie has been at Massanutten for only one short year, he has made many friends and to whatever school he enters next year, we can only say-your gaing our loss. CHARLES H. HAYS ucurlyn PITTSBURGH, PA. CARNEGIE TECH joe lists his enthusiasms as building model aeroplanes, playing the saxophone and subdividing Gaul into its three parts. As a leading member of the Aeroplane Club he displayed unsuspected resources of patience and ingenuity in constructing models. l-le broke what is believed to have been the all-time endurance record- when his plane lodged in a tree! The Massanutten Dance Band owes much of its sax-appeal to Joe, and it must be conceded that he can toot sweet.

A long time has elapsed since jack entered the portals of higher learning at Massanutten. Carbondale. Yes, it is in the coal regions of Pennsy, and Jack has brought to M.M.A. that true and much ridiculed miner talk. Due to his fatherly advice and a 100 per cent interest in all the boys' problems, he is often referred to as Fodder, which is miner talk for father. Carrying the mail fmail means footballj on those thrilling reverse plays was Iack's specialty which he did in a touchdowny man- ner. He shags baseballs in the outfield when one of M.M.A.'s pitchers slips on down the alley.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN And another Detroit swimmer! A more likable, friendly, sociable fellow cannot be found on the whole Massanutten campus. Wally has made up his mind to study journalism at the U. of Michigan, and we know that he cannot help but become a success. More power to him. This Detroiter is the last word, or shall we say splash, in interscholastic breast strokers. He was one ofM.M.A.'s two winners at the Nationals in Philadelphia, and we wish to congratulate him on his feat. If our sincere wishes will help him to make the Olympic team, he is the champion right now. Best ofluck, Wally. Regards to F. C293 nk THE ADJUTANT-1936 Fy,gvi'xv- '-.r TRAMMELL H.

As full of distinctive personality as he is of fun and love for his native Martinsburg, Ace is destined to experience an interesting future. During the autumn season his interests are concentrated on the center position on the football team, during the winter he plays a guard on the basketball team, and when spring rolls around we find him toeing the rubber and pitching the horse- hide sphere with remarkable efficiency. His place at Massanutten will be a diffi- cult one to fill when he is gone. WILLIAM E. KANE ' ' Killer' ' PLAINFIELD, NJ. UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY An lrshman and a worthy one. Whether the project be athletic or academic, the Killer can be depended upon for a conscientious and sincere effort and a re- sult which is far above the average. His athletic abilities are distributed among the three major sports with plenty for each sport. Perhaps his most outstanding performance in the field of athletics was as a regular forward on the basketball team, in which position he could be consistently relied upon for from eight to fourteen points per game. An attitude of cheerfulness and a sense of humor, which enables him to laugh even if the joke is on him, combine to make Killer one of the most likable cadets on the campus. VINCENT P. LEISEY Vince DANVILLE, PA. ' GETTYSBURG Although nature did not endow Vince with a great love for studies, yet we have found him sincere in his academic work. His athletic ability secured for him a firstfstring end position on the Junior Varsity football team and a coveted place on the basketball squad. His bass voice has certainly contributed its part toward the success of lVlajor's Glee Club. If we add to the above qualifies a con- tinual desire for a week-end at home Cwe wonder why?j, an inherent love for fun and a good practical joke, a distinctive laugh, and Qwe have heardj a bit of love- sickness, then we have a picture of Vince.', THE AD JUTANT-1936 nk qsoy FRANK LLOPIS Poncho HAVANA, CUBA M.I.T. That Frank is an unusual person is scarcely worthy of mention. Entering Massanutten less than two years ago, without a speaking knowledge ofthe Eng- lish language and far less acquaintance with preparatory school subjects, he has consistently maintained a position as a ranking member of his class, which only an intense desire for learning and extraordinary capacity for hard work could ac- complish. ln moments of relaxation, Frank strums harmoniously on his guitar, or develops photographs in his self-improvised studio, and with excellent re- sults. Since he is decidedly congenial and in consideration of his intellectual at- tainmenrs, Frank should find life pleasant and profitable at M.l.T., where he exf pects to matriculate in the fall. We expect to hear big things ofhim from Havana some day. HAROLD S. MALIN CSHal!9 CUMBERLAND, MD. OHIO STATE Cadet Malin once proved to one of the debating societies that the ancient pastime of checkers was more beneficial to the human body than the more ac tive sport of tiddleywinks. Ever since that day our little Malin has been In the public eye as the foremost exponent of checkers. He certainly practiced what he preached, for he plays a mean game. It has always seemed too bad to us that he never organized a checker club here at M.M.A. ln the Commercial Department he breaks typing recordsgwhen he isn't stringing the local fems an irresistible ' I IHC. TULIO MANSENE -'Babe' WARREN, OHIO OHIO STATE With a handle like Tulio-well, you can just imagine for yourself how hard he had to fight to keep up his social reputation and-standing Babe has become his nickname, which he enjoys much more than his Christian name On the box ing team he made a'f1ne showing and became the leading fisticuffer of the entire squad. When the bull ring goes by, one can never fail to see a cadet with a swinging step walking Off his hours of which he accumulates plenty I-le and his side-kick, Monk, cause plenty of trouble but never seem to mind that their after noons are taken care of for weeks ahead.

No, we do not mean that Matty is killing us, but it is his pet saying. Skrong, as he is sometimes called, blasts to smithereens the theory that a fat fellow is not an athlete. He is one of Massanutten's all-around athletes and a very good one, too. Matty was our star tackle on the football team, Con- gratulations, Matty, for getting honorable mention on the all-state eleven. Yes, he plays basketball. As a guard, he proved to be the team's best defensive player and also was quite adept at throwing in points when they were really needed. He doesn't rest in the spring but plays baseball. Lou Gehrig had better watch out for his slugging title. All erstwhile All-American football players will have Matty to think about-just 220 pounds of worry. EDWARD MCCAFFERY 4 aMac9 9 CHICAGO, ILL. GHIO STATE Cadet McCaffery impresses one at first glance as being a sober and serious type of person-till the Irish twinkle in his eyes gets to work. The girls find that difli- cult to resist-besides he is a Udreat, big mans. The swimming team was cap- ably assisted to its national championship through McCaffery's earnest attention to training for his event. lt wasn't often that he met with real competition. Even scholastic grades do not bother him. That occasional yip-yipfyipping that came from the third Hoot south wing could be traced to the Anderson-McCalTery combination. The school year was pleasant and enjoyable up in that sanctum sanctorum. Good old McCafTery. He does like his weekfends. WILLIAM MCINTYRE ffMaCY, HASTINGS, W.VA. OHIO UTJIVERSITY West Virginia has sent us another of its snake charmers. Whenevfzr a cadet wants to ask the Colonel for leave or some permission, Mac can tell him the most opportune moment. Wherever a good time is being had, you are sure to hnd Mac because he never overlooks them, and he has a nose for gala times. And how! Don't get me wrong, Mac is also an athlete in the highest sense of the word. He is a sure point winner when he picks up that javelin and puts it through its capers. Ohio U. is his next step on his way up. Follow that straight and narrow path, Mac. THE AD UTANT-1936 lk 1321 ' - N M wwwmw iLf'.,'f 5 'Q' '. ' , Tx, A , 1 I V.

Worthy of casual mention is the fact that, fiom a scholastic standpoint, he is among the leaders of his class. Excelling in mathematics, Dave reduces a complexing labyrinth of algebraic equations to the simplicity of a first-grade reader. His fine performances in dramatic club presentations added to the honor of being a mem- ber of the victorious Poe Society debating team indicate the variety of activities in which he excels.

PENN STATE Iack's one year at Massanutten has brought us into contact with the epitome of genuine, effervescent and unaffected personality at its best. A smile, serving only to enhance an unusual handsomeness, reflects a spirit in harmony with all that serves the best interest of a school such as ours. Jack belongs to that rare body of young men who possess versatility of accomplishment without having loss gentlemanliness of character. Combining the qualities of athlete, scholar and gentleman, he has few peers and his pleasant greeting and kindly word of good cheer will be missed, although remembered, on the campus after 'lack has passed out of the picture to grope with life's problems elsewhere. We prophesy for 'lack's success and feel it will be well deserved. JOHN K. PETERSON Monk PLAINFIELD, N.-l. YALE This enigmatic, cherubic fellow considers Plainfield not only home, but heaven. J K played junior Varsity football and starred in intramural basket- ball. In academic work, he has been a consistently conscientious and energetic student. In the barracks, he is noted as a sort of adolescent Peck's Bad Boy, and when there is some water to be thrown, talcum powder to be dusted on someone, or a good pillow-fight in the offing, you can bet your best pair of pants that Monk will be an active participant before the final truce is declared.

But Jimmie does have ambitions. He feels that extracting molars and keeping the human's masticators in perfect shape and condition will be worth while and profitable service to humanity. Well, he ought to know what he is about for that is the line of duty of his paternal ancestor.

At least rumor has it that feminine hearts are Huttering as far down the valley as Harrisonburg. And then, he has been heard singing ln the valley, YoofHoo. Probably it is that farfaway look in his eyes that does the trick. Anyway, with his intelligence and industry and application he should do well. His ability as shown in the classroom coupled with his ability as shown in the bowling alleys make a combination that will bowl the world over. Good luck, Tommy! RICHARD A. STOCKAMORE Dick GLOVERSVILLE, N.Y. PENN STATE We all know him as 'LStocky, the good fellow and merry wag. When not leading the band as drum-major, he is still very much the play-boy, adding to the life at school a sparkle of wit and merriment, making it a better and easier life. CWe also hear that he is quite a Culbertson-he certainly spends a lot of time at the Williams homej But perhaps bridge isn't the only attraction . . .? Besides bridgegand other things-Stocky finds time to play intramural basketball, swim on our championship team and act in the Garrick Club.

And appearance is not decepf tive in his case, for he has, in his unpretentious way, compiled quite a record for himself during his brief stay at Massanutten. He has edited the school paper, The Oyez, played intramural basketball and distinguished himself in other forms of athletics, and made some awful puns! lt is rumored that Walt has a swell line with the girls.

For in this class we see ourselves as we were only two short years ago. We are pleased with this class, for it is indeed a class of which one can be justly proud. Last year most of you made your first acquaintance with a military school. Perhaps for some of you this was your first experience away from the comforts and happiness of home. But your year was a happy one-one that you will never forget. From many dif- ferent states you came, lived together under the same roof, roomed and played together, and formed many lasting friendships. You have developed and matured fwe, the cignified seniors notice this for youj, in just two allftoofshort years, will take our place and we have an almost paternal interest in you. Next year, most of you will be back at Massanutten to complete your preparatory school education. You will return next year as juniors. But lest you, in your new station of life, make mistakes-many of which we ourselves madewlet us pass on to you some ad- vice. Remember that, although the years at Massanutten are indeed happy ones, you are here for another and vastly more important purpose than having good times. Remember that Massanutten men are gentlemen. Remember that Massanutten has a tradition in athletics which must be upheld. Remember that Massanutten wants to and can be proud of you!

The Freshman Class BCUT the Freshman Class very little can or need be said. To us dignified seniors, the class seems somewhat superior to the average run of freshman classes. Of course they lack seriousness and dignity, but three more years at Massanutten will supply this. When we entered the portals of Massanutten four years ago, we were just as green, just as carefree, just as unsophisticated as the Class of '39. ln scholarship this year's class does not excel, yet it should be noted that they are far from dumbbells. ln military they do not shine, but many times indeed have the younger boys drawn words of praise from Captain Nelson. Next year, most of these young men will move from Sperry Hall, the home of the younger boys, into Lantz Hall. Here, they will begin their education toward becoming seniors. Each will acquire to some degree, dignity, poise and seriousness, making them ready for their grand senior year. These young boys hope to make Massanutten their home for the next three years. Eagerly they await their turn at being the leaders of the school. At Commencement three years hence, one of these lads will no doubt deliver the valedictory, another the salutatory, and perhaps yet another will shout commands to the battalion as Cadet Major. To you, the Freshman Class of '36, we, the seniors, wish you luck and happiness- especially during your next invaluable years here at Massanutten. Make us, and Massanutf ten, proud of you.

The U.S. Naval Academy Plebes sank Massanutten 25-13 at Annapolis, largely on the strength of their passes and extensive use of reserves. Massanutten refused to admit de- feat. Fighting back, they scored two touchdowns even after the cause seemed hopeless. In this game a corking pass attack was uncovered and set the stage for our two scores. The following week saw Mercersburg, our traditional rival, pass its way to a 13-7 victory. Two long passes spelled Doom in ca ital letters for the Kaydets. Chuck Ferretti, hard running back, gained the respect of our Pennsylvania rivals by playing a bang uplgame both defensively and offensively. jim Beveridge returned a punt 70 yards for our on y score. Massanutten's travelling squad next entrained for Chattanooga where Baylor School's Red Raiders were taken Z8-0 under the eyes of about 5,000 Baylor faces at Chamberlain Field. The pass attack, featuring flea Hickersn and laterals, worked with devastating effect and produced a wide open, spectacular game. On the fleld decorated for our Homecoming Day Exercises, the purple dragons earned a hardffought victory over the Roanoke College Frosh. One of the hardest running backs of the year was encountered in lrwin of Roanoke, who gave the Kaydets much trouble with his line plunging and passing tactics.

With but thirty seconds of play remaining and the score Bell in our favor, Curtisaex- ecuted a desperate 55-yard pass which was completed on our goal line for a touchdown. Massanutten temporarily stunned the crowd of 6,000 when the first play produced a 60-yard run and a touchdown. Many of the New York papers compared the caliber of this game with that of the ArmyfNotre Dame game which was played in New York that same day. Massanutten, not having played many games in the state, was not given much recognition on the mythical all-state eleven. However, five members of the team were given hon- orable mention by the various coaches throughout the Old Dominion State. On the line jack Mattiford, rugged tackle, and joe Dixon, end, were outstanding. The backfleld pro- duced three nominees in jack Orr, jim Beveridge, and Chuck Ferretti. High hopes were held for this team, the best that Coach Crlunt has ever developed. Had not fate intervened in the form of many bad breaks throughout the season these hopes might have been fulfilled. This year's team, being big and fast, kept with the trend of the times, playing a wide open, passing game.

The result of winning 15 contests of a 16-game schedule was that most of the newspapermen nominated Massanutf ten for the State Prep School Championship. Fork Union Military Academy, the other claimant for the title, refused to meet Massanutten in a playfoff game for the champion, siip. The schedule opened with Woodstock High School The home town boys fell before the onslaught of the Cadets. The final score was 72-16. Massanutten next entertained the Shenandoah Valley Academy boys. ln a free shooting game, which saw Shenandoah get but one point in the first half, the purple cagers romped to victory easily 42-14. The first real test was in the form of Central High School at Washiiigton, DC. The capital boys put up a stiff light but were forced to retire beaten 41-40. Still undefeated, Massanutten journeyed to Winchester to again meet Shenandoah Valley Academy. Cn their home floor the S.V.A. boys could do little better, taking a 48-2.4 lacing. The University of Virginia Frosh at Charlottesville were downed 38-31, a close game in which Massanutten closed rapidly to win by a safe margin. ln the game with Hargrave Military Academy on our floor, Massanutten, 6 points behind going into the fourth quarter, pulled a rough and tum- ble game out of the fire, winning 29426. The first defeat of the season was administered by Central High School, who had been beaten earlier in the season. The final whistle saw Massanutten on the short end of a 42436 score. Cur perennial rivals, Staunton Military Academy, were the next victims. On the home floor Massanutten passed and shot its way to a 47436 victory. The purple cagers really hit their stride against Shenandoah College. A 61-35 game really showed the scoring power possessed by the Cadets. ln the return game with Shenandoah College the purple cagers again came through with a last quarter 44443 victory.

Unlike football, Massanutten received much recognition on the mythical allfstate Euintet. jerry Seeders and Bebo Bagshaw were nominated for guard positions on the rst team. Bill Kane, forward, and Buzz Murray, center, received honorable mention. The postponement of the annual South Atlantic basketball tournament at Waslaing- ton and Lee University caused Coach Glunt to cast his eyes about for post season games. He submitted our record to the board of the Eastern States Basketball Tournament at Glens Falls, New York. Eight of the best schoolboy teams in the East are chosen and Massanutten was greatly honored, being included in this group. Although Massanutten was beaten by Brown Prep, who eventually won the tournaf ment, they made a fine showing. The final score was 34AZ9. Bill Kane, fastfmoving fora ward, was given honorable mention on the allftournament team.

Under his competent supervision and after much te- dious practice, an unusually smooth and fast team was developed. After several weeks of practice Baltimore City College furnished the first encounter. Although they were our Nemesis last year, we easily overcame them 4-1 to 31. Following this decisive victory Coach Fouts predicted an unusually successful season for the team. This prediction was certainly fulfilled, as the team consecutively defeated Weste1'n High School of Washington, DC., Washingtoii and Lee Frosh at Lexington, and Staunton Mil- itary Academy, our traditional rivals in all sports. Starring for Staunton was Peter Pick, holder of many sprint records including his senf sational world's record for the 100 meter event. In this meet he unofficially hettered john Macionis, National lnterscholastic 220 record. ln both events in which he participated, the 100 and the 220, he was pushed to his fine performances hy I-lytowitz in the former and hy Clarke in the latter. ln spite of Ficles gallant attempts, we easily overcame the one' man Staunton team. After proving our strength at home, the squad made an extensive invasion of the northeast. First, we defeated the Navy Plehes at Annapolis. Continuing on to Yale, we broke the Freshmen's long string of consecutive victories by defeating them in a very close and hotly contested meet. Johnny Lang showed his superior diving ability by winning over Endweiss, last year's National lnterscholastic Diving Champion. Breneman, Hoffrichter, Clarke, Lang THE ADJUTANT-1936 Ik C501 The team then proceeded, somewhat weary after so much time spent on the road, to Montclair, NJ. Here they barely escaped a disastrous upset, finally defeating the home team 39 to 36 in a very thrilling meet. The team, however, retaliated with a decisive victory over last year's National High School Champs, Trenton High School. Concluding the trip was a return meet with Western High School at Washington, DC. Once again we were victorious. A much needed two weeks' rest allowed the team to recuperate, and then the ultimate National Champions headed south for a return meet with Staunton Military Academy. Another M.M.A. victory. ln a blaze of glory the team defeated the William and Mary Frosh when several pool records and the National lnterscholastic 400fyard relay record were broken. This was the last dual meet of the season, but the South Atlantic and the National Champions loomed ahead. Upon returning to school, the team went through a week of intensive practice, putf ting the finishing touches on our already strong team. ln fine shape the travelling squad set out for the South Atlantic's in Baltimore. We easily overcame all of our opponents, taking all but two of the first places. This won for the team the honor of being the champ' ions of the South Atlantic States. Two weeks following this we entered the National lnterscholastic Championships at Philadelphia. As the meet progressed, it became evident that the championshi lay be- tween Massanutten and Blair. Taking only two first places, which were fancy cfiving by Lang and the 100fyard breast stroke by Hoffrichter, the team had to rely on second, third, and fourth place tallies. ln this way every man of the team counted and everyone showed true fighting spirit. Notwithstanding the brilliant performances of Van DeWig and Sable, we emerged the possessors of our first National lnterscholastic Championship. Throughout the season the marvelous performances of Lang, Clarke, Hoffrichter, Hytowitz, and McCaffery made many a college coach sit up and take notice of this prep school team. One of the coaches who took especial interest in the team was Kiputh, Coach of the Qlympic Team. C513 lk THE ADJUTANT-1936 Adam, Driver, Frerotte, Hines, Mclntyre, Ogilvic Track RUM this earlyfseason point, the M.M.A. track team is judged to be one ofthe best balanced teams the school has ever produced. Coach Fouts, with a wealth of material in the track events, and the boys, working hard to condition themselves and thus better their times, have already proved their worth by accumulating many points. Coach Bettis has shown himself indispensable in developing the field men into topfnotch competitors who give the opposition a good battle for first money. lndividually, we find the following members taking care of their specialties: Beveridge, Parr, I-lines, and Duff take care ofthe dash events very capably. ln the middle distances, Qgilvie, Halin, Van I-lyning, Burt, Adam, and Stringer, W. form a winning group and run their events a la Cunningham QC1lennJ. Driver and Stringer, E. carry the school's colors in the hurdles. Frerotte, Conrad, hlclntyre, and Q'Brien earn their bread and butter by tossing the shot, discus, and javelin great distances onto terra flrma, ln the jumping eventsgpole vaulting, high and broad jumpin gwe find Lang, hlurdock, Qtr, Stringer, E., Duff, Beamer, Courtney, and Mansene going up and out fir 'ldeah ole Masfzanutten. l Pours, Bertisg Frerotte, Hines, Mumper Halin, Budke, Stringer, E., Stringer, W., Burt, Van Hyning Murdock, Mclntyre, Cgilvie, O'Brien, Driver, Duff, Adanx THE ADJUTANT 1936 lk C521 Cvlunt, Kane, Mattifordg Bagshawg Parr, Brezlkstorieg Hooks Seedersg Orr, Courtney, Murrayg Hollis, Beveridge Baseball ASSANUTTENS very promising nine opened its season by losing the first two games to Staunton and Shepherd College. Weeks of very inclement weather and the postfseason basketball schedule caused the boys to be out of practice. However, after a week of strenuous and conscientious practice, the cadets snapped out of their slump and are enjoying a fourfgame winning streak. lVl.lVl.A., having been defeated by Staunton and Shepherd College, decisively de- feated these two teams in return games. Shenandoah Valley Academy was beaten in a seelsaw battle, and one game remains to be played with them. Mt. jackson High School was crushed by the Massanutten Nlountaineers. Hollis and Parr are turning in some beautiful exhibitions of pitching. Both of these boys mix a fast ball with a good curve to keep the opposition from breaking down the fences. Breakstone is developing into one of lVlassanutten's foremost catchers of all time. His batting ability in a pinch has stamped him as a dangerous man at the pentagon. ln the infield are Captain Murray, Kane, Qrr and Seeders. The double play combination of Crr to Kane to Nlurray reminds one of the everffamous Tinkers to Evers to Chance trio. A hardfhitting outfield and one that can go and get 'em consists of Beveridge, Courtney and Mattiford. Extra bases are few and far between with these strong armed boys cover' ing the outer garden. Hines, Colsten and Edwards form a very versatile and reliable group of utility men. The hitting of this yearis team should win many victories. There hasn't been a game in which Nlassanutten has been outfhit by the opposition. All the victories have been the result of a barrage of base hits which produce runs, and runs win ball games. 155D lk THE ADJUTANT-1936 Tennis PRING weather, for some reason known only to the weather man, did not bless Mas- sanutten. The wind blew and the rain fell, and Massanutten's tennis team hai little practice at the first of the season. This deficiency became clearly evident when we encount- ered the strong St. james School squad at St. james, Maryland, for the first match of the season. The team was defeated 6 to 1, Seeders winning the only match for Massa iutten. Although the score seems one-sided, many of the sets were very close, especially Duff's, who was finally defeated after three long and hotly contested sets. Good form was displayed by all players, but they lacked consistency and end ,irance, due, no doubt, to lack of practice. After more training, Coach Cobb predicts a strong team for the remainder of the year. Most of last year's team became alumni last june. However, Bob Gabriel, Phil Wil- liams, Alan Duff and Bugs', Qgilvie, who were on last year's squad, plus consistent- playing jerry Seeders, form the base around which Coach Cobb is building his team. Among the other aspirants for the tennis team are Whitaker S., Riddle, Mann, Blank, Budke and Lang. The season is well filled, matches having been arranged with St. james School, West- ern High School of Washington, DC., Staunton Military Academy, Shenandoah Valley Academy of Winchester, and a tentative match with Randolph-Macon Academy of Front Royal. Of special interest to tennis players this year is the proposed intramural tournament. The winner of this tournament will have his name engraved on a beautiful cup donated by Mr. James Burns of Cedarhurst, l..l.

Under the able coaching of Captain Nelson many boys who had never before hred a rifle became efficient riliemen. All credit for the success of the team this year goes to Captain Nelson, who could always be found in the Armory at any free periods during the past winter. The RandolphfHearst team composed of Whitaker, L., Douglas, Howard, L., McGibney, and Kurtz did not do so well as last year's team, but they finished high in the Cor s Area rating. The other major match of the year, the Third Corps Area match, was hredj as a mail match instead of the usual shoulder to shoulder match of other years, due to a lack of funds. Qther mail matches of the season, against many of the leading military schools of the country, were as follows: New York Military Academy, Cieorgia Military Academy, Wentworth Military Academy, Kentucky Military Academy, Missouri Military Academy, Manlius School, Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, Florida Military Academy, Culver Mili- tary Academy, Kemper Military Academy, Staunton Military Academy, Fork Union Military Academy, and many other prep schools and colleges of the country. Next year Captain Nelson expects to have a very commendable team and more shoulderfto-shoulder matches. The team has several new rifles and should make a good showing if the student body again supports the team. 4555 if THE ADJUTANT-1936 Nlunsenc and Blank The Boxing Team HE boxing team, although handicapped by lack of necessary equipment due to the fact that this was the first year that Massanutten sponsored this sport, acquitted itself favorably. Plans are being made for making boxing a major sport at Nlassanutten next year. Coach Fouts divided his time between boxing and swimming, and to him goes ch: credit for the team's creditable showings. The art of selffdefense is on the upfgrade at Nlassanut- ten and is rapidly becoming a very popular sport among the boys.

After much scouting around for eligible and capable cadets to fill the various po- sitions, a list of candidates was drawn up. The Senior Class then elected the following stall: Gerald Seeders ....,..........

Gerald Seeders, filling the dilhcult position of EditorfinfChief, deserves highest commendaf tion for his excellent work. Phil Williams, living in town, carried on the work of the staff when work on THE ADJUTANT was interrupted by Spring vacation. Phil obtained much valuable experience as Literary Editor of the annual. last year, and much of the credit for the success of this book is due to his untiring work and helpful ideas. The bulk of the literary work was capably handled by Gerald Breakstone. For the acl- vertising, which was necessary for the publication of this book, we are indebted to William 0'Brien, Advertising Manager, john Orr and George Hinkins, Business Nlanage rs, and their able assistant, Howard Beck. Credit for the attractive and unusual informal snapf shots which appear in the Feature Section goes to Frank Llopis. The stall, firmly believing that the publication of the school annual is an important and valuable activity ofthe Senior Class, hopes that this book will inspire the Class of '37 to publish THE ADJUTANT next year.

Myron L. Simpson became the faculty advisor, and the club again began to flourish. The club was completely reorganized and a permanent constitution was drawn up. The repertoire of the club is somewhat limited due to the scarcity ofplays having only masculine roles. Miss Marguerite Newman of Woodstock kindly consented to take a part in the play presented previous to Christmas, and the club wishes to express its appreciation to her. At the beginning of the year, the club elected the following officers 1 Matthew Ruzomberka ,.................r.,........... President Gerald Breakstone ...... ............

At any rate we can say that it hath wonders in our midst. Under the patient and nursing hand of its impres- sario, Maj. G. A. Benchoff, the glee club has risen to the rank of being rated as one ofthe finest musical organizations in northern Virginia. The club has been an invaluable aid in making the mass singing ofthe school the enjoyable and pleasant feature that it now is. ' Songs of adventure, romance and several of the classics are included in the unusually large repertoire of the organization. Preeminent in their solo vocalizations were Vincent Leonhardt and Norman DeCindis. Leonhardt, a local boy, has acquired the reputation of being one of the valley's finest singers. Both he and Deffindis have appeared in several local productions. Un Friday, May Sth, the club was invited to broadcast over station W.S.V.A. at Harrisonburg, Virginia. The broadcast was a part of the nationfwide Music Lovers Week. Under the skillful baton of Maestro Benchoff, the program was of such a high caliber that it brought back memories of the triumphant tour ofthe glee club in 1931. This tour took the club through, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. They appeared over sevf eral large radio stations and on the stages of many theaters. They returned home with the applause of thousands of new friends of Massanutten ringing in their ears. C611 lk THE ADJUTANT 1936 The German Club N addition to the various courses in German in the school curriculum, the newly or- ganized German Club offers to all German students the opportunity of becoming better acquainted with the German language and customs, and to enjoy real German gemiltf Zichkeit. Mr. Winkelnuan, who was instrumental in forming the club, is also th: faculty advisor.

At the end of the year the club members plan a real German dinner-pumperriickel, sauerbraten and other traditional German dishes. It is to be hoped that the German Club will be continued next year, as it has proved such a popular as well as beneficial extrafcurricular activity.

Qnly boys whose grades place them in the top quarter of the three principal science courses were eligible for membership. The club, therefore, is com- posed entirely of superior students of science. Mr. Bettis, Physics Instructor, was instrumental in organizing and directing the club. Smgll weekly dues are charged and plans for a club dinner at Commencement are being ma e.

Two members take part on each program, discussing in an informal manner some phase of science which particularly interests them and with which they are ac uainted. Mr. Bettis has, on several occasions, delivered very interesting and instructive taclks on radio and the practical application of short waves. A scrapbook of newspaper and magazine clippings on current scientific events is being prepared. Future Science Clubs will have a valuable and instructive memento of the first Nlassanutten Science Club. The club wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Mr. Bettis, the faculty advisor, who so successfully organized and directed the club. At the last meeting of the club, the following boys were elected to membership bef cau? of their interest and proficiency in science: Brealcstone, Frerotte, Shaver, Cgilvie and I-lo richter. Cosy uk THE ADJUTANT 1936 The Annual Debate HAT the Kentucky Derby is to the lovers of a good race in lVlaytime, the Annual Debate at Massanutten is to the partisans ofthe jefferson and Poe Literary Societies when George Washing, ton's birthday comes around. We regard it as a very fine compliment when visitors tell us that we seem to arouse as much interest over a debate as they have ever witnessed in other institutions over the classic football game. ln any event, Massanutten does try to maintain a line balance between the arts, the sciences and the recreations. ln reply to the question, 'lWhat doth it profiteth a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul,l' we would say in our field of work What advantage is knowledge if you do not know how to express it? And so, public speaking is given a prominent place in the curriculum, as the -Ieffersons and the Poes understand. For thirtyfone years these rivals have been battling against each other. lt might remind one of the Wars of the Roses. And the esprit de corps which held sway in the days of knighthood and chivalry can be witnessed at Massanutten when the two societies come into deadly clash. After the battle is over and the smoke has somewhat disappeared, everybody bows to the victors, and the vanquished accept their fate with philosophical resignation. According to Coue, one should be feeling better and better every day and, by the same rule, these debating contests should be better every year. As a matter of fact, the 1936 debate was a winner. Both teams were well prepared for the fray and gave a most excellent display of the forensic art. It is not our duty to make comparisons, which are usually invidious. Sufhce to say that the contest was so well balanced, and each debater performed so ably, that it was difficult for the au- dience, as well as the judges, to render a decision which cleared the atmosphere of all doubts, These boys tackled a big question, as to whether the United States Government should have the authority to over- ride decisions ofthe Supreme Court by a three-fourths majority vote. Without question, this debating exercise is a most enlightening experience for debaters and hearers. Nothing worth while is accomplished without hard work, but the rewards are worth the effort. And so the debate of 1.936 foes down into the history ofthe school year with great honor Truter, Mowrer, Howard, R., Miirdock THE ADJUTANT 1936 uk 1641 The speakers for the affirmative representing the jefferson Society were : Norman Thnkelson, New York City Tom Courtney, Jr., Lakewood, Ohio Gerald Breakstone, Pittsburgh, Pa. Clifford H. Hahn QAlternatej, Pittsburgh, Pa. And those for the negative representing the Poe Society were: Robert W. Howard, Arlington, NJ. David L. Mowrer, Lancaster, Pa. Carl W. Truter, Pittsburgh, Pa. Mccyilmcy Daniel B. Murdock QAlternateD, Beaver City, Utah Distinguished judges were selected for this debate in the persons of Dr. Charles E. Schaeffer, Gen- eral Secretary ofthe Board of Home Missions, Philadelphia, Pa., Dr. George W. Hartman of the Key- stone Hospital, Harrisburg, Pa., and Mr. B. P. Harrison, Attorney, Winchester, Va. They decided that the medal for the best debater should go to Norman Tonkelson of New York City, and that the debate should be given to the Negative, which, of course, stirred the Poes into an ecstasy of appreciation than was a delight to the ears. Honorable mention was given to Carl W. Truter ofthe Poe Society, An interesting feature of this debate was that the medal was donated by a former debater of the Poe Society, Charles Waldbauer of Dormont, Pittsburgh, Pa., now a student in the Wharton School of Commerce ofthe University of Pennsylvania. An interesting interlude of the debate was a rendition of two declamations by Cadets Daniel B. Murdock of Beaver City, Utah, and James H. McGibney ofRichmond, Va. Whereas both these young men acquitted themselves admirably, the judges felt that Cadet McCzibney had the edge somewhat on his friend, Cadet Murdock, and was awarded the medal. As usual a large audience attended this debate, and the program as a whole was of such high char- acter that che comments were most favorable on all sides. And now, who shall it be in 1937?

Dues of ten cents were charged at each meeting, and from this fund materials necessary for the construction of models were pur- chased. The work meetings which followed the business sessions were informal and most enjoyable. Members worked over their models, discussing their advantages over other types, and spinning tales of endurance records which had been or would be broken.

His early education was received in the public schools of Greenville, Nlichigan, and furthered by four years at West Point, where he was graduated in june, 1919, as 2. Second Lieutenant. After his graduation, he was assigned to the Thirteenth Machine Gun Bat' talion, and he was with that unit when it was transferred to Camp jackson, South Carolina. I-le was next assigned to the Sixtieth lnfantry and remained with it until he was trans- ferred to jefferson Barracks, Missouri. l-lis next assignment was a three-year tour of Pan- ama. During this trip Captain Nelson had many interesting and unusual experiences. He then had the honor of being placed in charge of the Gold Star Pilgrimage to Europe, After duty at Fort Wadsworth, N.Y., he was assigned duty at Massanutten as P.lVl.S. 64 T. ln the short time We have known Captain Nelson, his pleasant personality has won the admiration and respect of students and faculty alike.
