The Staley Lecture Series was
established in 1969 by Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas F. Staley of New York in
memory of their parents. It brings
recognized scholars who truly believe in
the Christian gospel and who can clearly
communicate their beliefs to students in
colleges and universities across the na
tion.
Mars Hill College named Robert
Ronai as its new basketball coach this
week. Ronai, 28, is presently head
basketball coach at Massanutten
Academy in Woodstock, Va. The an
nouncement of his appointment was
made public in a news conference held
Thursday, March 12, at Asheville’s
Sheraton Inn.
Ronai has been at Massanutten since
1979, compiling records of 16-9 and
16-8. Massanutten’s basketball program
is a post-high school program, yet the
players retain four years of eligibility at
the college or university they decide to
attend. Ronai has had to recruit all of
his players while at the Virginia school,
and do so within a very limited scholar
ship budget. The 16-9 record in 1979-80
was compiled with only seven players,
and this year’s 16-8 score was completed
with 10 players. Nearly all of his players
have been recruited by college programs
and have received scholarships. The
preparatory school’s schedule contains a
number of college or university
freshman teams as well as other prep
schools.
Prior to his coaching job with
Massanutten, Ronai has, held head
coaching positions with Bisop Luers
High School in Ft. Wayne, Indiana,
where he compiled a two year record of
28-13; Crownpoint High School, where
his team was regional runner-up in 1977
with a 16-6 record; and Salesian Prep
High School.
Ronai graduated from Don Bosco
High School in Ramsey, New Jersey in
1971 with several academic and athletic
New Coach Bob Ronai
awards. He earned his undergraduate
degree in health and safety from St.
Francis College in Ft. Wayne, Indiana,
continued his education at Indiana
University, and is scheduled to receive a
Master of Science degree in physical
education this summer from Ball State
University in Muncie, Indiana.
Mars Hill’s Athletic Director, Claude
Gibson, noted that Mars Hill was “very
pleased to have been able to attract Bob
Ronai. His references have stressed his
thorough knowledge of the game, and
the organization and discipline of his
teams. The evidence of his ability to
build a winning team among the restric
tions of a military prep school is an in
dication to us that he can establish a suc
cessful program at Mars Hill.”

prose, photography, and art needed to
form the magazine. Their efforts proved
successful, and, according to Perkins,
the amount of photography and poetry
submitted far exceeded that of the
previous year. The amount of quality
material available enabled the editors to
publish a 64-page magazine, the largest
size CADENZA ever published.
The CADENZA held its annual
premiere in the Timberline Coffeehouse
and honored the award winners in each
category of competition. The prize win
ners were selected by qualified judges
from each discipline. Dr. Francis
Hulme, a professional writer and retired
professor from Asheville, NC, served as
the judge for poetry and prose; Tony
Boring, a professional photographer
who lives in Asheville and works at
Davis Photographies judged
photography; and Mrs. Verna Bradley,
an art teacher and graduate of Mars Hill
College as art judge. The winners in each
category received a cash prize — $20 for
first and $10 for second.
At the end of the semester, the
magazine was mailed to the National
Scholastic Press Association and the
Associated Collegiate Press for national
ranking, and Betty Hughes recently
received the information. The magazine
was rated in five categories: character;
editorial content; illustration; editing
and display; and production factors.
The CADENZA rated in the top rank
ing, “excellent,” in all five categories.
When notified of the magazine’s
achievement, the editors were
understandably elated. “That’s great,”
exulted Perkins, who was selected by the
Communications Board to serve as
editor for the 1980-81 CADENZA. “I
only hope we have the same support
from the students and faculty in the
future. That’s all it takes for an All-
American magazine, you know, just
quality material to choose from.”
Mrs. Hughes was a little less modest in
her appraisal of the editor’s job. “Pam
