Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1886-06-18
Stanton Male Academy.

The Opera House had fine audience
present to show their interest in. and to
enjoy the final exercises of, the Staunton
Male Academy, of which Prof. ". H.
Kable is Principal. The Stonewall Brigade
Band was present and aided to enliven
the scene. This school may well bescalled
a model Preparatory School. In it's faculty
are teachers who came to it from profess
sorships in colleges; it's laboratory and
other equipments are worthy of college,
and altogether it has an outfit in brains
and facilities for education that no school
in Virginia, within our knowledge, has
ever rivalled. The annual address was
delivered by W. e. Hatcher, D. D., of
Richmond, and was accounted on all
sides as one of the best ever delivered
here, on a similar occasion. The prizes
were delivered with appropriate remarks.
