THE CADET VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE, TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1908 Teachers and NEW BUILDING Commandants STARTED Graduating Class to Sup- Old Landmark to be lorn ply Many We print below a list of mem-bers of the fii'st class, who have been engaged as teachers for next year at smaller institutions: J. Hope Peek has contracted-for the position of assistant com-mandant at Florida Military In-stitute. Talahassee, Fla. Alonzo H. Gentry at Went-worth Military Academy, Lex-ington, Mo. J. Guy Engleman, as comman-dant at Tennessee Military Insti-tute, Sweetwater, Tenn. John M. Fray as commandant at Donald Fraser School, Deca-tur, Ga. Frank A. Fickes as comman-dant at Mount Pleasant Militi ry Academy, Ossining-on-Hudson. A. E. Donnan as assistant com-mandant, at Kentucky Military Institute, Louisville, Ky. J?,-Hewson as commandant ai bingham Military Scho( Bingham, N. C. Stewart Anderson as teach i at St. Albans, Icadford, Va. Chas. S. Carter and J. PiciCe will b;^ respectively. Muli professors of Modern Language/ and Mathematics and tactical otticers at the Institute, whil^ M. G. Deshazo, having entei-ed the civil ijervice, will be inspector of government schools in the Phil-ippines, There are also seven others who will teach, but who have not, as yet, been assigned. All this list, together with six others who will enter the arm", certainly gives the title of "West Point of the South" a strougei-boost and more grounding laan it has ever before received. More applications for teachers from the graduating class were receiv-ed than could be filled, which only shows the work that our alumni have done for us on the outside. Therefore, it is with justifiable pride that we may jjoint to our past and ever-grow-ing present record and feel doubly certain that the future will more than uphold it. "Hello! Hello! Hello! Its a dif-ferent girl again." Donjian. Down. An old landmark of the In-stitute is to be destroyed and in its place a handsome new chem-ical and pliysical laboratory will T7p Recently, as a result of the efforts of the Superin-tendent, the State made an appro-priation of $50,000 to the Insti-tute this year and a similar amount was promised for next year, for the purpose of building a much-needed chemical and physical laboratory. The site of the new building will be on the ground occupied at present by the so-called "cabins.'' These "cabins" have stood since the founding of Ih- Institute, being one of the i .nv bailtiin-s which survived Hunler's raid. Since then they ha\ j b'Cii used for many and various purposes, such as sutler's, burbcr shop, laundry room, carpentei- shoy) and others. For several da; .v past surveyors have been bus. nying off the -'te of the nev>' building and H. livr^ work will be begun this s,immei'. The old chemical la!x)ratary will probably be turn-i! into a laundry, run by the powei' irom the power house jus I hi.'Xt it. Class Game First Class Defeated Second Class by 15 to 14 Saturday ' 111 an exciting finish the first i class nine del'eaied the second I class bv a score of 15 to 14, Salui- , da\, in nine inning.s. This is the ! l econd victory for the first class i and gives them the series. The game Saturday, though marked j by many errors on both sides, , wMs very exciting. A feature was the home run of Grant for the 1st class, in the 7th with the bases full. Wickham is captain of the 1st class team and Hob-son of the 2nd. The next game will be between the 1st and the 3rd classes. J. V. Beckford '9G, is manager of Buckroe Beach and is also in the real estate business at.Hamp-ton, Va. Army AlumniAssocia- Hon of V. M.L To the alumni of the Virginia Military Institute who are in the Service: Why not form an Alumni As-sociation in the army? There are a great many alumni of the Institution already in the army Marine Corps and Paymaster Corps of the Navy. Few of these Alumni know that the others are in the service and realize that they are bound by that strongest of all ties, alumni of V. M. I. Every year adds to the number of graduates who enter the ser-vice and strengthens the claims of the Virginia Military Insti-tute to the title of "The West Point of the South.'' What bet-ter way to bring these alumni together than to form an alumni association which shall be com-posed of all alumni in the ser-vice? Though it would be impos-sible for us to get together and hold banquets and meetings as the alumni of cities are enabled to do yet we could accomplish much good for |the Institute and ourselves by such an organiza-tion. No one who has attended the Institute ever loses the love and interest which associations have there formed for him. There is never an alumnus but with the greatest satisfaction hears of the success of the V, M. I. team on the gridiron or on the diamond. Could not an Army Alumni As-sociation do something to show this interest? Each year the sec-retary of such an association could publish a pamphlet which should contain a list of all the Alumni in the service,their rank and the post at which each is stationed. Such a pamphlet would be of great value to all Alumni and especially those just entering the service. Upon a change of station it would enable an officer to ascertain if there were any V. M. I. men at the post. What makes a man feel more at home when he goes to a j strange place than the presence of another V. M. I. man? My idea is if that this plan meets with the approval of the alumni each alumnus in the service subscribe the sum of two dollars, which amount should be used in the publication of the pamphlet above. This pamphlet would keep those alumni in touch with each other and would serve to still further strengthen up their interest in their alma mater. I would like to hear through The Cadet the opinions of some of our alumni on this subject. J. E. T. Lt. U. S. Army. Next Game Friday, May 8th, Bridgewater College at Lexington. GLEE CLUB Trip Proposed to Lynch-burg The Mandolin and Glee Club acquitted itself so creditably at the Easter entertainment that they have become justly ambi-tious and are reaching out for more worlds to conquer. Such talent is worthy of more extend-ed praise. The time has come when the Institute can gain fame in a new field. A trip to Lynchburg to appear before the alumni and friends there is in embryo. Certainly no better advertisement of a college could be sent out than a well prepared glee club. The 4000 mile trip of the Yale and Columbia glee and mandolin clubs are com-monly known. Our musical bunch is content with a modest 40 mile journey to the "City of the Hills". The show to be given on May 15th, a holiday, thus losing no time from classes. We feel sure that such a show would get a crowded house, as the enthusiasm of the "old cadets" would be given another vent. Over $100.00 was cleared at their performance here at Easter. The profits would go to the athletic association; thus, two very creditable aims are present-ed. advertisement for the school and money for athletics. The matter will come up before the Board of Visitors at their next meeting and it is to be hoped that it will be found permissible for it to be carried through. If not we urge another appear-ance here sometime during Fin-als, as such a show is rarely, if ever, equalled in amateur work' FIRST CLASS HOP, Another Saturday Night Dance to be Given on May 9th. The first class will give an-other of the popular Saturday evening hops next Saturday. The short time allowed will necessitate a prompt start. Men taking "calic" are urged to hav« them at the gym on time.
