Herb Pennock played baseball with the Wenonah Military Academy team

At 17 or 18 he was signed by Connie Mack with the Philadelphia Athletics, who traded him away before he really learned the ropes. He went on to become a Hall of Fame pitcher, perhaps most well known for his five World Series wins when he was with the New York Yankees.

Wenonah Military Cadets visit with President Hoover at the White House, Nov. 22, 1930

Also, "one year,
the football team was undefeated and untied. It was not scored
upon until the final season game against National State Farm
School, who blocked a kick behind a goal" (Scott, 1989). And, on
November 22, 1930, President Herbert Hoover met the cadets at a
White House Reception for the Football team in Washington, D.C.
Naturally, there were many first place banners hanging on the
assembly room walls at the WMA (Beebe, 1989).
