Bill there's a good article on St. John's in the Pulaski County Historical Review, vol 36 (1988) pp 39-44. It had a cadet program prewar, and several VMI grads were brought in as teachers/drillmasters. Several of the students/cadets became soldiers, among them David Dodd the 'spy" and Gov. Rector's son Lt. William Field Rector.
