BROWN, President Having been very much interested in the beautiful city of Long Beach and having made my western home here for the last quarter of a century, l am delighted beyond words at this opportunity of having a part in the new and enlarged program planned by our organization for the Southern California Military Academy, The location, the climate, and the plant seem to lend themselves, admirably so, to the plan to make this school one of the outstanding junior or preparatory schools of the nation. During the summer months the very extensive program of renovation, remodeling, and building will take place and it is the hope of the new owners to prepare for a student body of at least one hundred more boarding students for the year l947-1948. lohn Brown Schools advertised every type school for the highest type student and our organization as a whole enthusiastically believes that this new unit added to our growing organization will now serve a wider field, and under the new plans and the new management will immediately become outstandingly successful. Cur high goal is the best for the best . And to our friends and patrons pledging cooperation in this work, we give our sincerest thanks and hope for the privilege of eventually meeting personally and knowing intimately parents of the boys who will be committed to our supervision and direction. Assuring our friends and well wishers everywhere of the realization of this large responsibility and opportunity, l am with best wishes yours most faithfully, ln His service, l0HN E.

HARRY MUNGER Asst. Comdt, Commandant Asst. Comdt. The military department is dedicated to the task of instructing and controlling the activities of the corps of cadets in matters dealing with customs, courtesies, and military skills. By cooperation with the other academy departments, it aims to instill in the cadets, the obligations and duties of citizenship, the value of teamwork, the appreciation of rights of others, and the forming of proper habits of social behavior: the last includes honesty, trustworthiness, cleanliness, politeness, obedience to proper authority, and loyalty to God, to Country and to self. The cadet can develop qualities of leadership by accepting responsibilities and discharging duties as placed upon him throughout his career as a member of this corps of cadets. Members of the commandants staff have been proved capable by their experience and training, and to them goes the major portion of credit in conducting this departments activities. It is hoped that those cadets who are leaving the academy to go on in life and those who will be returning next year have acquired, with the academy's guidance, enough of those rudiments in training, that though they may never serve in the military forces of their country, the lessons learned can be converted into those channels of peace-time pursuits. ln these, integrity, cooperation, singleness of purpose, initiative and leadership are also the basic requirements for persons Who choose to attain a pla :e for themselves in the World.

These include three sweepstakes, two grand prizes, four first prizes, one second prise, an competition up to 57 bands. Two honors of high rank have come to Captain Gilmore personally He was appointed head band master of the California Cadet Corps. He was also invited to join the American Band Directors and ludges Association. As State band master he will direct the combined bands of the California Cadet Corps at Camp Ord this coming summer. He anticipates a combined band of possibly BU pieces there During ordinary peace times the S.C.M,A. band is kept busy playing for a wide range of functions. lt plays for games, dress parades and festivals. The band is generous in contributing music for worthy causes. An example of its generosity recently was its appearance in a street broadcast given at Fourth and Pine in the heart of Long Beach for the March of Dimes drive. ln the AllfWestern Band Beview S.C.M.A. took second prize in its group, first prize going to Brown Military Academy of San Diego. A number of the former members of the band have become members of Army and Navy bands. Some have joined the ranks of professional musicians. Present strength of the band is 34 pieces.

Principal Again the time has come to say goodbye to the seniors and to wish the rest of the corps of cadets a pleasant vacation. It is difficult to realize that nine months have elapsed since classes assembled last September. Yet, much has been accomplished, and to the many who will find on their academic and military records a creditable evi- dence of their diligence l say, Well done! You have a right to be proud of good grades because they are the measure of performance in your present job. After the upsetting and exciting conditions of the war years it has perhaps been difficult for some to regain their sense of values and to place the proper emphasis on study and serious attention to duty. To those I offer understanding encouragement. Think seriously. lt is your generation which must reckon with what the future holds. Now is the time to set your standards high so that you may successfully meet the challenge of that future. The closing of this school year may be said to mark the end of an era which began with the graduation of one cadet in lune 1930, That student was Cadet Thomas H. Welch, the son of Mrs. W. I. Watkins, the founder and owner of the school. Under her guidance and leadership S. C. M, A. grew rapidly. In spite of the earthquake and the turmoil and uncertainty of the depression years the enrollment, the extent of the buildings and equipment, and the number of cadets receiving their diplomas each year steadily increased. Many of these graduates went on to complete successful records in universities or at the United States Military Academy or the United States Naval Academy. This year's senior class, the class of l947, will be the last to graduate here. They will close the doors on the high school. lt is always with regret that we contemplate the termination of something that was truly worth- while and constructive. But progress is changeg and if this marks the end of one era, it just as surely marks the beginning of a new one. Under new ownership and management and as part of a large and dynamic organization, the Southern California Military Academy will go forward to new achievements and maintain its position as a school of which the community may justly be proud.

Coached by Benny Lefebvre, the varsity team made 160 points to its opponents' 30 points, a score which few if any high schools in Southern California can outrank. Outstanding players for the football season were Wilkening, Bisnar, McCartney, C., Ratliff, and Meng. Notable was the fact that the varsity football team was not scored upon in four games. In the junior Military League, S. C. M. A.'s Football A'S came out second, with five players making the all-league team. Outstanding were Russum, Lowe, Monzello, Clift, and Henson. B's football season was highlighted by the 14 to 13 victory over St. Iohn's at the St. Iohn's field. Two men made the all-league team: McCartney, R. and Collins. For the first time in the history of athletics at S. C. M. A. a varsity basketball team was formed in 1947. The season, however, was rather mediocre, highlighted by the trip to Catalina Island made by the team, to play Avalon High School. They sailed on the steamer Avalon, and stayed at the Hermosa Hotel. Receiving a royal reception from the host high school, they were entertained by a ball in their honor in the Casino and were even serenaded outside their hotel rooms by the girls of the school later that night. Some cynical Trojans even sug- gested that the enthusiasm with which the fair maidens of Avalon received the S. C. M. A. players might have been an insidious plot to sabotage the visiting team's strength and cause them to lose the game, which they did. Although they didn't win the championship, the team came out third in league standing. Outstanding players were Bunker, Wilkening, and Stephens. Basketball A'S placed third in the league. Outstanding were Solomon and Ray. B's ended in third place also, with Estel making the all-league team. Even the C's placed third in the league, with Martinez and Laughing- house as the outstanding players. The baseball season ended in a flash of glory, the Trojans winning the last two games and a thriller with Culter. Outstanding players were Vartanian, Hammer, Nelson, R., and Franscioni. There was no track and no swimming. A At the time Taps went to press, results of the all-league softball competition in the Military League were not known, but nominations were: A'S: Philleo, pitcher B'S: Estel, pitcher B'S: Stullich, first baseman B'S: McCartney, R., catcher Results for the season: - - A'S in fifth place B'S in second place C'S in third place Coaches for the basketball season were the following: Harry Munger, for the B's and C's, Benny Lefebvre, for A's, Earl Imbler, director of athletics at S. C. M. A., varsity, varsity B's. Earl lmbler also coached varsity base- ball, A and B track, and A and B football. Harry Munger coached A, B, and C baseball. Benny Lefebvre coached varsity football. Coach Earl lmbler, director of athletics at S. C. M. A., is a graduate of this school and also a graduate of Pepperdine College. As a lieutenant junior grade in the United States Navy. lmbler spent three years in the service. A graduate of Oklahoma A. and M. College, Coach Munger was a first lieutenant in the engineers' corps.

C. M. A. was the Halloween party put on by the senior class as a unit. Decoration of the gymnasium in country barn style with Halloween figures in the decorative scheme, evoked praise from all quarters. In fact, old-timers declared it was the most suc- cessful Halloween party ever held at the school. lt drew a capacity crowd. Christmas season was made merry by a series of entertainments, class parties, barrack parties given by house mothers, and other festive occasions. The two outstanding events: the big Christmas show given on the stage of the mess hall and the Christmas ball given in the gymnasium. The play, entitled Santa Claus' Christmas was the original product of the lower school classes of Mrs. Bullard, Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Reddick, Mrs. Sandusky, Mrs. Kline, Mrs. Otterberg, Miss Fett, Mrs. Lovell, Mrs. Phillips. Outstanding features of the show were the March of the Toy Soldiers, resplendent with dazzling costumes and merry music, and the patriotic drama put on by seventh graders. Music was furnished by Mrs. Grace Weiler, and costumes were designed by Mrs. Watkins. Another feature of the Christmas show was the singing of Christmas carols in Latin by members of the Latin Club and their adviser, Capt. Iohn I. Frisch, with Harley Faulkner, as soloist, singing in base register, Ave Marie by Bach-Gounod. lack Gaddis, at the piano, and William Bullard, at the marimba, provided accompaniment. ' - With the Merry Makers' band furnishing the music, the Christmas ball drew a brilliant, capac- ity crowd to the gymnasium. Slapstick comedy was furnished by the Southern California Club with its pledge season and initiation, featuring pledges going around the campus clothed in a barrel or gunny sacks, and other outlandish costumes, getting whacked with paddles, and putting on funny stunts in the mess hall to the accompaniment of uproarious laughter of the dining cadets. Later on this same club put on an Easter ball in the gymnasium to replenish its treasury, and attracted a good house. May Festival at the Brown School for Girls at Glendora, featured by a style show, a May dance and festival, in which Cadet A. E. Iohnson, was chosen Father Neptune, and Miss Windy Rodarte, was crowned Queen of May, a delicious buffet supper, and an evening aquacade in the school's swim- ming pool, was unanimously voted by cadets and S.C. M. A. officers attending a supremely delight- ful affair. Previously the Glendora girls had put on a splendid show at S. C. M. A., enthusiastically received by the local cadets and were guests of the Academy at dinner. Cadet officers of S. C. M. A. entertained cadet officers of the military corps of St. Anthony's High School at dinner in the mess hall here and also in the Officers' Club Boom in Henshaw Building. With Dr. Iohn E. Brown, president of the Brown Schools Incorporated, enacting the role of Lord Bountiful, the combined Iune graduating classes of the Brown Military Academy of San Diego, the Brown School for Girls in Glendora, and the Southern California Military Academy of Long Beach, were his guests May lOth at an Ambassador Hotel banquet in Los Angeles and later at the lce- Capades in the Pan-Pacific Auditorium. At the banquet Doctor Brown gave an inspirational message to the seniors. Both banquet and show were declared huge successes by those who attended. Winding up the social season were the Bing Ball given by S. C. M.-A. seniors and the Roman banquet put on by the Latin Club, Amicitia Pulchra, in characteristic classical style, costumes and except for the substitution of pure, unfermented grape juice for wine. Space limits restricted this sum- mary to only major social events, precluding detailed accounts of minor affairs, like trips to Catalina Island and Big Bear. , IS if o Qt' WLM 'Wg X MIICTIR BEIUIIE I, EE!!!

FLYING DELEGATES CHOSEN lust before Taps went to press, results of the search for two outstanding cadets chosen to make a flying trip to the Brown University in Arkansas in Dr. Iohn E. Browns private airplane, a twin-motored, five-passenger Cessna, to represent S. C. M.A. at the college in the Ozarks, were announced by Major Theodore Neal, vice-president in charge of S.C.M.A. They are Cadet Capt. Frank l-fill, a freshman, and Cadet Second Lieutenant Gerald Cartwright, a senior. A detailed story of this event will be found in the Cannon Report. yu 5 S ' Q'- ... .

The school plant is surprisingly big, isn't it? SNAP SHOTS OF STUDENT LIFE Besults ot the snap shot contest, conducted by Taps and obtained shortly before the annual went to press, show that Stephens won first prize, Newton, secondp Hill and Worischeck, tied for third, and Cartwright, honorable mention. judging was done by an expert on photo-engraving not connected with S. C. M. A., hence was completely objective and impersonal. Appraisal was based on clearness, suitability, com- position,and other qualities of good photography. Quality was generally consistent in batches of snap shots submitted by each contestant, but one outstanding photograph was selected in each group. Best of the batch submitted by Stephens was the shot of the cadets on the Steamer Avalon bound for Catalina lsland Newton's outstanding shot was that of S C M A bo s at . .... y Big Bear. Hill sparkled with his view of the military inspection of lower school cadets during dress parade. Worischeck was best in his glimpse of the campus. Cartwrights climactic shot was the view of the campus of the Brown Military Academy at San Diego, showing the flagstaff. Many snap shots besides the prize-gernering ones were included in the publication list and arranged in the layout. The judge had to eliminate regretfully many photos that were admirable from the standpoint of subject and treatment because they were too blurred to make satisfactory engravings. The photograph of McDonald and Corr, in the comic trance scene was eliminated from the contest, since it was shot by a professional and this was an amateur con- test. But it has been published because of its novelty. Entries will be returned to owners by Captain Frisch upon request. THIS IS A SLICE OF LIFE - in fact, several slices of lite at the Southern California Military Academy. The snapshots that follow were taken by students in a school-wide contest, the results ot which have already been given in the preceding article. On the right hand page opposite this page, reading left to right: top row, cadet Angle and his girl, starting on the Easter Parade, a scene at the Christmas Ball held by S. C. M. A., showing two junior cadets and their partners doing the light fantastic near the big Christmas Tree in the gym, to the melodious strains of the Merrymakers. The weird duo in the left-hand picture in the second row, giving a mock demonstration of hypnotism, is composed of make-believe hynotist McDonald and his subject, Corr, in the right cut appear some of the delegation of S. C. M, A. cadets who were guests of Dr. Iohn E. Brown at the Brown School for Girls in Glendora. A wonderful time was the unanimous verdict of the cadet group, who gave visible and audible indications of their delight over the entertainment put on by the Glendora girls, which included a style show, a May Festival, and an aquacade. At the May Festival cadet A. E. lohnson was chosen Father Neptune and had the honor of sitting next to the queen ot the May.

Here are two of the outstanding pieces of critical writing done by the writers on the Cannon Report Staff in 1946-47. Lydia Bailey Gets Praise F rom Staff Reviewer By JACK GADDIS General Jonathon Wainwright made the following comment about his captivity to the Japanese on Cor- regidor, mentioning that in his prison there were a few books salvaged from the University of Manila. They were handed around like treasures, they were read and re-read, even com- mitted to memory. One that stands out in my mind is Kenneth Roberts' 'Oliver Wiswell,' which did more to take me out of myself than any other book I read. So confident were the publishers of Kenneth Roberts' latest novel, Lydia Bailey, that they printed one million copies for the first edition. Century- Fox paid S215,000 for the movie rights. It was also the January choice of the Literary Guild and is on the best seller list. Book dealers predict that it will be there for six months to come. Kenneth Roberts became a novelist because he wanted to learn more about his family. He knew that his great grandfather, Daniel Nason, a sea captain, had been taken by a British privateer in 1805 and had been im- prisoned in Dartmoor, England. He had heard stories of this from his grandmother, who had been Daniel Nason's favorite daughter. She told him about General Eaton and when he came to check up on General Eaton's enemy, Tobias Lear, he found all about the story of a battle in Haiti. Judge Tying, once a loyalist and now settled happily in Portland, Maine, is confronted with the problem of defending Thomas Bailey, a news- paper man, on a charge of sedition. So the storv of Lydia Bailey begins. Albion Hamlin, his nephew, doesn't care for politics, but fate interferes when the judge becomes too ill to travel and Albion accepts the case for him. 1 While defending Bailey he falls in love with a Gilbert Stuart portrait of Bailey's niece, Lydia Bailey, who is supposedly dead, but whom he later finds to be alive somewhere in Haiti, and sets out to find her. In Haiti he becomes entangled in the revolutionary battles between Toussaint's forces and those of Napoleon. He is helped out of his troubles by King Dick, a Negro. Accomplishing the tedious task of finding Lydia, they escape from Haiti by an agreement with the French. After escaping and out at sea they are captured by Tripolitan pirates and suffer the hardships of slavery in Tripoli, North Africa. Rated by critics the best contem- porary historical novelist in the United States, Kenneth Roberts has superior ability in realistic description, charac- ter portrayal, creating suspense. Once you pick up the book, you can hardly lay it down, so fascinating is this swift-moving, action-packed adventure yarn. If any fault can be found with this novel, it is that it is too rich, there being enough material for two novels. The best part comes in the middle in the Haiti episode. The second half -ithe Tripolitan episode -is tamer, almost in the nature of anti-climax. Born in Kennebunk, Maine, Dec. 8, 1885, Kenneth Roberts was grad- uated from Cornell University, where he was editor of the college magazine. A journalist ever since, Roberts served on the Boston Post for eight years, and for 11 years on the Saturday Evening Post, as foreign correspondent. His explanation for his keen interest in historical fiction is that he wants to correct the errors of sloppy historians. He believes most historians should be farmers. Liloe-race's Concert ls a Three-Ring Circus, Artist Displays Versatility 51 BH BILL BULLARD One is petrified with amazement to Liberace's concert in the Municipal Auditorium Feb. 17 was like a three- ring circus. The pianist left his audience dazzled and delighted with the brilliance of his technique. The usual method of advertising this concert aroused the suspicion of this reporter that this 25-year-old virtuoso might be a charlatan, but the first number he played on his program, Rondo-Gavotte by Bach, was convinc- ing evidence that he was a sincere artist. To hear the popular tune of a few years back, Marize Doats, played in the styles of Bach, Strauss, Chopin and Mozart and the popular melody of Margie entwined with Clair de Lune by Debussy and as a concerto by Tschaikowsky, is something this re- viewer will remember as great show- manship. Liberace needs to take no seconds when it comes to showmanship. hear a concert pianist playing the old masters superbly, combining the classics with such compositions as Begin the Beguine, by Cole Porter, and the Ritual Fire Dance by DeFalla, and then going a step further by including The Twelfth Street Rag and boogie woogie. This pianist is appealing to all ages and all tastes in music. Next to the last section of the pro- gram, Liberace took his audience on a world tour by playing a number of songs typical of several countries. These numbers held the audience spellbound. The last group Liberace called Anything Can Happen, and it was well named. The pianist called upon his listeners in the audience to shout out numbers they would like most to hear. These ranged from Liszt's Polonaise to Open the Door, Richard. iN! 's - - ...f www.
