THE KABLEGRAM Senior Class Officers Set Good Example Senior Class Officers Edwards Instrumental In Corp's Accomplishments The Staunton class of 1954 has certainly left the Academy with many good memories, both in the minds and hearts of those cadets who knew them and in the more tangible form of the many accomplishments they have made during the year. The Honor Court, founded several years ago, was honor- ably carried on by the men to whom it was passed down by past classes. This successful year was due to the fine group of officers provided by the senior class. They are: Robert C. Edwards, president; John Toth, vice-president; Cleon Sanders, secretary; Stephen J.

Captain Dave Buck opened the scoring in the first half with a 15 yard run to pay- dirt. The conversion was missed, but a few minutes later, tackle Lou Michaels picked up a Hargrave fumble and galloped 40 yards for the second tally. In the second half made slow by rain, the Hilltoppers scored late in the third quarter with Johnny Batsakes taking a hand-off from quarterback Jimmy Moyer. This was the first game between the two schools in 15 years. Employing both its air and ground attack to good effect, SMA turned back a highly spirited Emory and Henry Junior Varsity team 28-13. Staunton tallied twice by the air and twice by the ground. The combination of Morrow and Bailey proved to be very effective, as they accounted for two touchdowns. This game was highlighted, however, by the brilliant running of Halfback Johnny Batsakes. In the third game a rugged West Virginia University freshman team; striking for touchdowns in each of the last three quarters, defeated an equally rugged SMA eleven, 20-14 in a bruising battle at Kable Field. The rugged playing of such players as Lou Michaels, Jack Ash- ton, and George Johnson; and the running of Johnny Batsakes and Dave Buck, accounted for many thrills. SMA put on a rugged defensive show to defeat a fired-up Valley Forge Military Academy team, 14-6. Johnny Batsakes, SMA's halfback, returned a punt for 90 yards in the first quarter for the first tally. Lou Fisher scored the other TD. This game proved to be very ex- pensive for SMA, for stars Dave Buck and Johnny Batsakes were injured in the rough game.

THE KABLEGRAM The 1954 S.M.A. Basketball Team Basketball Summary

In the first game of the season the SMA five rallied in the fourth period after lagging behind through the first three to defeat the Wash- ington and Lee Frosh 90-88. Bucky Allen was high for the Cadets with 29 points. A twenty-four point splurge in the second quarter proved the dif- ference; as SMA squeezed by a spine-tingling 67-64 victory over the freshmen Cagers from the University of Virginia. Bucky Allen and Gordie Morrow were high scorers for Staunton. The third game of the season proved to be more exciting than the first two. However, this time Staunton came out on the short end of the score. Leon Remington connected on a pivot shot just as the final horn sounded to give the "Rats" of VMI a 68-67 victory. After tlie Christmas Holidays the quintet traveled over to Chat- ham, Va. for a game with Hargrave, and won 70-57. This game started off very slow, but as the game progressed the Hilltoppers drew farther apart from its rivals. Staunton won its second game of the year 87-55. The losers this time were the cadets from Fishburne. Massanutten Military Academy proved to be SMA's next victim. This time by the overwhelming score of 93-64. Staunton, playing without one of its regulars, Gordie Morrow, found an adequate reserve in "Cosie" Cosentino, who scored 8 points and proved to be the games defensive star, along with Captain Lou Michaels.

The SMA swimming team led by the brilliant swimming of Bob Cowden and Lee Lawrence successfully opened its swimming season by overwhelming the U. Va. freshmen by a score of 56-19. The tankmen next overran the Richmond YMCA 45-30 with Co- Captain George Snyder leading the way. Lawrence, Zwicker, Gold- water Marks, Cowden, Maury, and Co-Captain Rick Morgan also placed in their respective events. This meet was highlighted, however, by SMA's exhibition relay team of Cowden, Saffer, Lawrence, and Zwicker for they hit the All-American time of 1:41.8. In a return meet at U. Va.'s pool the Hilltoppers took all but two firsts in winning 47-27. Leading the SMA victory were Larry Marks and Barry Goldwater. The strong SMA tankers easily retained the prep school title, amassing a total of 90 points, 20 more than their nearest opponent, Georgia Militarv Academy. Lee Lawrence, SMA's amazing sophomore swimmer, broke the record for the 200 yard freestyle with the pheno- menal time of 2:07.9. Teff Zwicker also broke a record in the 150 individual medlev with the spectacular time of 1:39.7. SMA's record breaking performance was not stopped here, for the relay team of Cow- den, Marks, Saffer, and Lawrence broke another record with 1:41.0 clocking. ... . , , . The tankers successfully defeated the other military and high schools in Virginia to keep the State Championship. Jeff Zwicker, the only double winner, led the team to victory over their nearest rivals Rich- mond Jeff captured first places in the 100 yd. ireestyle and 150 individual medley. Lawrence and Goldwater also won in their respective events. , . , We can truly say that the swimming team was this year s most successful athletic team.

THE KABLEGRAM Z wicker, Lawrence Make All-American Captains of Next Year's Athletic Teams Swimming Stars Receive Top Prep School Ratings According to word received by Coach Dodge last week, Jeff Zwicker and Lee Lawrence have been selected as members of the Helms Foundation All-American Prep School Swim- ming Team. This mythical swimming team is made up of the best ten prep school swimmers in each event in the country. This is the second year Zwicker has been so honored, and again he qualified in the 150 yard Individual Medley with the fourth best time of 1:39.7. Lawrence, who is but a sophomore, also qualified fourth in the 200 yard Freestyle with the time of 2:04. These two Cadets played a major role in a most successful season, helping SMA become state and southern champions. In dual meets they were beaten only once in their event during the entire season and with both of them returning next year, prospects again look bright.
