Squads from Air Force, Army, The Citadel, Coast Guard, Navy, Norwich, Mercant Marine and VMI attended for the annual event.
I made this one in 1980. At the time of purchase this Academy copy was far cheaper than the original Japanese LS and I did not have enough money as a kid so the choice was naturally this one. Now LS’s been long gone but Academy who used to make copies in the 70’s and 80’s are now doing quite well producing their original items. Irony of fate….. Later I did buy some original LS guns but over the years they were gone too.

Academy of Plato / Seven philosophers
cm 86 x 85
Villa of T.Siminius Stephanus (Pompeii)
mosaic
Material used basalt limestone
110 BC (110 BC, before 80 BC)
The mosaic in the I Pompeian style portrays the meeting of seven philosophers. Each of them is wearing the characteristic robe of Greek orators and philosophers of the classical period, except one who is also wearing a chiton. The third from the left might be Plato, the first from the left might be Heraclides Pontico, the second Lysias, the second-last on the right Senocrates, while the last on the right might be Aristotle in the act of going away holding a roll in the left hand.
In the background it is possible to recognize the acropolis of Athens with the Parthenon. Around the seven figures are depicted, from left to right, a portal with two columns and an epistyle surmounted by four covered vases (symbols of Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy and Music or the four Seasons of the year or the positions of the Sun), a tree and a votive column with a sundial, typical of a completely mythological landscape, without any specific geographic reference. The theme clearly refers to the literary and philosophical interests of the owner of the villa and probably derives from a late-Hellenistic model.

I am the prettiest, the smallest stream
That one can find hereabout.
'Tis here that the sun doth brightly gleam,
And barefoot boys fish for minnows and trout;
'Tis here in moonlight on my picturesque bridge
That youth's first love oft is spoken,
Accompanied by cicadas in the wooded ridge,
And soft voices hold the sweetness of an interlude;
Of emerald moss from stones and underbrush–
From sound–full throated–comes the singing of a thrush.

The private highschool where i live. Beautiful place, visted to try and get some shots with the sunset but it never got color with the rain moving in, i guess it blocked it. Kind of a neat HDR shot though.
Northern High School reminds me of some of Albert Kahn's work at the University of Michigan, but it was designed by the noted local firm of Malcomson and Higginbotham in the mid 1910s. The firm designed or consulted on many school buildings in the city. In fact, the Higginbotham School was named after one of the firm's partners.
For this building in particular, note the amount of window space to wall area at the facade. When the school was built, it stood at the northern part of the city, on the main artery--Woodward Avenue. Its name continued the pattern of naming high schools in the city after compass points (Eastern, Western, Northwestern, Northeastern, Southwestern and Southeastern).
Northern was recently nominated for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.
The original school, Hand Academy, was gifted from Daniel Hand in 1884. Learn more about him at madisonhistory.org/daniel-hand/. It became a public high school in 1887. The original school building was demolished and replaced with the current building in 1921. The school was closed in 2004 and transferred to the Town of Madison in 2011.

On the history of women's studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
1897
Conservative journalist A.F. Seligmann founded the art school for women and girls and taught there as a single teacher 16 students in the "Curs for head and act". 1898 expands the school: Tina Blau, a former teacher of the Munich artists association conducts 1.1.1898 a "Curs for landscape and still-life", which she held until 1915. Richard Kauffungen was nominated for sculpture, Ludwig Michalek led the "Curs for head and act" as well as an Radierkurs (etching course), Adolf Böhm the course for decorative and applied arts, Fabiani teaches ornamentation and style of teaching as well as "Modern home furnishings", Georg Klimt taught metalwork, Friedrich King wood cutting art and Hans Tichy from 1900 the drawing and painting from the living model. In all these teachers are moderate modern artists from the area of the Secession. The theoretical lectures are held in the company founded by Emil Zuckerkandl and Julius Tandler 1900 "Association of Austrian university lecturers Athenaeum", which had the task to be "an educational institution for members of the female sex". The first school year was completed with 64 students, the school is rapidly expanding, so that it forms 200-300 students annually within a few years. The steady growth is due to the restrictive attitude of the public schools of art (especially the academy) towards women, but also from the indiscriminate admission of which have been blamed all the private schools also on the part of women harshly, and just by women.
1904
The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is one of the many requests for opening the Academy for students once again putting the old arguments against that women are rarely equipped with creative spirit in the field of great art and the other a "proliferation of dilettantism and a pushing back of male members" is to be feared. Just the idea of a joint education had "abhorred" the College. The Academy therefore advocates for the financial support of the art school for women and girls, and rejects the application for opening the academy for women unanimously. The main argument for the impossibility of the joint Aktzeichnens (nude drawing) and the need for a second Aktsaales (nude hall) is increasingly mentioned, which cannot be realized because lack of space and lack of money. Henni Lehmann (Artistic studies of women, Darmstadt 1913) countered the same argument in Germany: "The common nude studies of women and men can not be described as impossible as it is done in many places, without having shown any grievances". The objection of the Quorum of the Berlin University professors that no teacher could be forced to teach women at all in such delicate subjects is countered that the problem was easily solved by entrusting a lady the Aktunterricht (nude drawing) in ladies. Suitable artists were plentiful present. That the life drawing for a long time (until 1937) remained problematic, shows the application of the renowned sculptor Teresa F. Ries of 1931, in which she was offering the Academy her services for the purpose of the management of a yet to be affiliated department, where young girls separated from the young men could work under the direction of a woman. The application was not even put to a vote.
1912
The rector of the Munich Academy also does not believe in the inclusion of students (female ones): "... it is impossible, even with regard to the space conditions, apart from that that the aspirations of the artists who devote themselves to the arts especially are usually others than that of women..."
1913
No significant change in attitude can be found between the opinions of the Academies from 1904 and those of 1913.
1919
In the report from the College's meeting of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Teaching is communicated that against the requested admission there were no fundamental objections, but that the Academy is so limited in spatial relationship, that after the experiences of the last entrance exams not even the majority of gifted young artists, capable of studying, could be included, and therefore, in case of the admission of women to the study initially had to be made a considerable expansion. The State Office counters that a further delay in the admission of women to the academic study could not be justified and that approval is to allow at least temporarily in a narrow frame.
1920
The State Office for the Interior and Education officially approved the admission of women to study at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (since 1919 women were admitted to all faculties of the University of Vienna, with the exception of the Catholic and Protestant Theological Faculty).
A committee consisting of the professors Bacher, Delug, Schmutzer, and Jettmar Muellner claims that the Academy has never pronounced in principle against women's studies but have always only expressed reservations because of the cramped space and financial situation. As a complete novelty proves that no more concerns are raised with regard to coeducation. Men and women should compete in the entrance examination. In the winter semester 1920/21 will be included 14 women, of course, representing only a small minority in relation to the 250 male students.
1926/1927
In the new study regulations are for the first time mentioned Schüler (M) and Schülerinnen (F).
March 1927
Report of the Academy of Fine and Applied Arts about the experiences regarding the access of women to universities: ..."in past years it was thought for the education of women and girls by the Academy of Women for Liberal and Applied Art, which is also equipped with academic classes and by the State subsidized, sufficiently having taken precautions: during a period of almost seven years of study, it was probably possible to get a clear picture about the access applications of women, and about the degree course ... Of course, the number of female candidates in the painting is strongest, weaker in sculpture, and very low in the architecture. As much already now can be said, that in no way in terms of education in the new admissions the women are left behind the male candidates. During the study period, the female students are not in diligence and seriousness of studying behind their male colleagues. Particularly gratifying can be emphasized that because of the co-education of both sexes in common rooms in the individual schools a win-win situation for everybody was. In the master schools the College was repeatedly able also honouring women with academic prices. Subsuming, it should be emphasized that our experiences with the study of women in the Academy of Fine Arts were quite favorable."
The number of students (Studentinnen) increased from 5 % in the winter semester 1920/1921 till 1939/1940 to about 25 %. After the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany, the number of students (Studentinnen) decreased. The proportion of female students rose after 1940 naturally, reached during the war years up to 70 % and amounted 1945/1946 to 65%. From 1946/1947 the number of students (Studentinnen) fell sharply again, so 1952/1953 only 20% of the students at the Academy were women. 1963/1964 there were, however, already 41% (278).
