INall the world there's no other hoy just like your hoy. He's absolutely unique from his heacl to his feet, because countless mental, moral, and physical characteristics, inherited and acquired, clearly and permanently distinguish him from all other hoys. These differences, which temper his likes and dislikes, and influence his aims and ambitions, comprise his very own personality. These attributes, now ready for development into the flower of manhood, require recognition, sympathetic understanding, and intelligent direction.
It is to this individuality of your hoy that the Missouri Military Academy especially appeals, earnestly and incessantly. Your hoy wa,_nts to he himself-a duplicate of no one and forever inimitable-and M. M. A. knows that he must he, if he is to discover and develop all of his hidden talents, and attain the highest plane of his mental, moral and physical powers.
The Academy offers your hoy the opportunity for the all-around development of his own individual personality. It provides a faculty of trained men who will carefully note his talenls and lendencies, and encourage his dawning abilities; an excellent environment to inspire him continuously~ anrl a program designed to fill his every need.
M. M.A. offers your hoy both the chance and the incentive to lift himself ahove the common level of life and rise lo a place of outstanding achievement-to become the splendid specimen of thoughtful, honorable, and courageous young manhood you and he have dreamed he will become.
I ' I I '-
Of paramount importance lo yon in the selection of the right school for your boy is the kind of men with whom he will be associated while away from home--the men who will p1an the programs under which he will live, p1ay, and learn, and the men who will supervise his every activity-the officers of administration and the men who comprise the school's faculty.
Every administrative officer and faculty member al the Missouri Military Academy is unusnaJly well qualified for his particular posi1ion through years of training and practical experience. Each is scholarly, a good teacher, and a man of strong moral character. Each is a highly successful specialist in boy life and training. Yet each is young e nough to gel close lo boys and lo understand !heir innermost problems. And all are willing and able lo give every boy sympathetic and inte1ligenl direction al all times and in all matters. These faculty officers live close lo the boys al M. M.

The magnificent campus of the Missouri Military Academy is acclaimed by many the most beautiful in the state of Missouri, and one of the most attractive school sites in America. It presents a luxuriant landscape in all directions from the top of a gently sloping elevation. Spacious, well-kept, blue grass lawns combine with numerous varieties of trees and decorative slirubbery to make a truly inviting environment that subtly but surely influences all who dwell within it. The main campus consists of 22 acres upon which are located eight modern buildings, large athletic fields, 1mrarle grounds, tennis courts, etc. Adjacent to the formal campus is a tract of 200 acres of woodland, connecting Mismilaca, the Academy's private lake, with the grounds of the Missouri MiJitary Academy proper. Also close to the main campus is an attractive eighteenhole golf course which is available to students.
The Academy is situated on the outskirts of the delightful little city of Mexico, Missouri, where it enjoys an the advantages of the country with aU the conveniences of the city. Mexico has recently been selected as an "All-American City" by the National Municipal League because of its fine civic consciousness and high ideals. It is also nationany known as "the saddle horse and fire clay center of the world." It is easily accessible by railroad, automobile, airplane, and bus from an directions and is on the main line of the Wabash railroad-100 miles from St. Louis and 160 miles from Kansas City. It is also the center of a network of hard-surface •highways, and all transcontinental air lines laud passengers at nearby cities.
Mexico is a residential city of approximately 12,000 inhabitants and is noted for its climate, its beautiful homes, progressive business establishments, and its fine old Southern hospitality. Students at the Academy enjoy many pleasant and helpful contacts with its citizens.

The Academy is rich in traditions of which any school might well he proud. Its history and that of Mexico are closely interwoven. In 1889, the progressive citizens, led by the late Governor Charles B. Hardin, handed together their resources and energies to erect the school. It grew rapidly from the very start and soon served students from many parts of the country. Today, with its colorful and glorious background of more than half a century of service to the best of America's young men, the Missouri Military Academy stands among the finest of the nation's military schools.

Your hoy will reside in an atmosphere of refinement at M. M. A. in which every provision is made for his health, happiness, and comfort. Cadet rooms are conveniently located in four modern barracks. Every room is an outside room with abundant fresh air and natural daylight. The rooms are lighted by electricity and heated by steam. All windows are screened
during fall and spring months. Cadets, mutually agreeable to each other, occupy a room. All rooms are furnished with comfortable beds, tables, chairs, and provide plenty of wardrobe space. The cadets learn to keep their rooms in perfect order at all times Spotlessly clean lavatories and shower baths are located on each floor for convenience of a11.
Cadets are permitted to select their own roommates, if they so desire. Otherwise, the Commandant of Cadets makes the selection. He makes every effort to place boys together who will gain the greatest mutual benefit from their c1ose association throughout the many months.
Umnarried members of the faculty reside on several floors with the cadets to preserve order and to give helpful guidance al all times. Their presence is seldom felt as a restraint; instead it provides a positive influence in the development of manly character. All cadets are permitted to study in their rooms as long as they earn this privilege. During study hours faculty officers are available for help and guidance. This close personal contact gives each boy the opportunity to know members of the faculty intimately, and he feels free to go lo them with any or all problems, personal or academic, he may have.

Sunday is the day especially designated as "Visitor's Day" because it provides the students more leisure time for visiting, although parents are always welcome at the Academy. Spacious and attractively furnished rooms are avaiJahle to all cadets for entertaining their relatives and friends. On Sundays, visitors come from far and near to see the cadets in their color£ul Dress Parade.

Each hoy will he given his own standard for achievement-a standard reached after a careful study of the innate capacities and abilities of each one. This program of selfachievement is hase<I upon the best known principles of psychology as it eliminates many of the evils of the competitive system.
BEllfVES IN THf HOPE Of REWARD
RATHER THAN THE FEAR OF PUNISHMENT
The idea behind all discipline at M. M. A. is to teach selfdisci pline--the discipline which comes from within. We believe that all young people are fundamentally fair and honest and good; and it will always he our constant endeavor to bring out that best in every one.
Years of experience have taught us that boys work for honors and privileges than through fear of punishment. Thus we have evolved a complete system of awards and rewards which stimulate and inspire them to their best efforts. Punishment, when found necessary, is mild and firm yet certain and constructive.

A field in which great strides of progress have been made in recent years is that of visual education, in which motion pictures combined with sound are used to augment text-book, lecture, and laboratory work. It lias been proved conclusively that pictured information is more easily assimilated and retained than information acquired by any other means. Various departments of the Academy make use of this new teaching aid.

Your boy will find a rich variety of extra-curricular activities at M. M. A. to provide profitable employment for his idle hours and energies and to broaden his cultural hack-ground. Some of these activities include public speaking, dramatics, debating, and journalism. Regular courses of instruc• tion are given in each of these and a number of other activities. A period each morning is set apart as an "Activity Period" ancl each ca(let is permitted to participate in the activities which most appeal lo him and from which the institution feels he will gain the greatest benefit. Many helpful orgamzations and the ,liscovery of latent individual talents result from these various activities.

Journalism supplies an excellent outlet for the energies of boys who like to write and it is a popular pursuit al M. M. A. The class in journalism receives much valuable instruction and actual experience in writing. This class writes, edits, and publishes the 1\1. M. A. Eagle, one of the most outstanding ca«let newspapers in the <:otmtry, which chronides all events of interest al the Academy for the benefit of all cadets, parents and alumni.
The M. M. A.

The proper development of your boy's physical powers is quite as essential to his success and happiness, both in school ancl in life after scl100I, as his mental training. The mind, lo he capable of sustained con• centration without undue fatigue, requires a strong, heahhy body. At M. M. A. your hoy will find every facility for all types of wholesome, body-building athletics. He'll he able to play the games he likes, indoors and outdoors. He'll he encouraged to participate in the sports best suited to his individual physical needs. And he'll he coached by an expert in every sport he selects. Correct training and careful supervision prevent injuries and insure a thorough knowledge of each game by each player. This makes every game far more interesting and beneficial. In addition to building strong, healthy bodies, this thoroughly supervised training in athletics develops good co-ordinations of mind and muscle, produces the qualities of self-reliance, initiative, co-operation, ancl leadership, and provides many otl1er benefits of lasting value .
[V[~f BOY ON ~OM[ T[AM
Each sport at M. M.A. is organized in such manner that every boy is given an opportunity to participate-lo he a regular member of a team. The boys are teamed up according to their size, age, experience and ability, in the sport of their preference. In addition Lo varsity teams in each sport, there are company teams which give every boy bis chance to compete in a carefully arranged intramural schedule. Each team has its own coach and its own playing area. Besides the various team activities, all boys participate in other physical events in which the entire battalion engages. These events include two colorful athletic carnivals, one in the fall and one in the spring, and daily drills in calisthenics.
Two of life's big lessons are how to win, and how lo lose. At M. M. A., boys are taught to play each game with greatest emphasis upon sportsmanship. Win, lose, or draw, they learn to "take it" like real gentlemen. This training in hard, fair play and clean sportsmanship is of inestimable value to every boy in his preparation for the battles of life.
All SPORTS - TH[ f [AH 'HOUND
Throughout the entire school year the athletic department offers a wide variety of interesting and invigorating activities. Virtually every sport known to interscholastic competition, and many others, are provided. Football is the kingpin of the fall schedule, but gives way to basketball in winter months, ancl spring finds baseball and track the pronounced favorites. Although athletics are never permitted to interfere with academic work, all boys spend at least four hours per week in some sport. A care£ul study of the physical needs of g1·owing boys shows that this amount of time, properly spent, is sufficient to keep the average boy in excellent condition at all times.
A wealth of thoroughly moclern athletic equipment is available for every cadet. The new gymnasium, one of th e finest to b e found anywhere, provicles three basketbalJ courts, a boxing ring, wrestling mats, an excellent swimming pool, ancl lacilities for many other sports.
Outside are weH-kept athletic fielcl s , a one-fourth-mile track, lem1i s courts, ancl a beautiful lake. A splendid nine-hole goJf cours e is available nearby. A Recreation Room provides facilities for numerous indoor sports.
Particular emphasis is placed upon sports which boys can continue after their school clays. Swimming, tennis, golf, equitation, and other similar sports are always popular at M. M. A. Every boy is encouraged lo develop proficiency in one or more of these sports so that he will be able to keep his bocly in excellent conclition throughout life. Too much specialization in such sports as football frequently cleprives the boy of the pleasures of other activities and leaves him without any athletic interest to pursue actively following his gracluation.

Military training, as given at M. M.A., offers your hoy numerous advantages of incalculable and life-long value. The training develops all the laudable traits of leadership, including initiative, responsibility, self-respect, self-re1iauce, ,resourcefn1uess, fearlessness, efficiency, quick thinking, and logical, concise expression. At the same time it develops intelligent co-operation, as it teaches team-work, fair-play, respect for others' rights, respect for proper authority, and genuine patriotism. This training salvages the time most boys waste and teaches them many habits of inestimable wo1·th. It teaches system, conservation of time, neatness, p1·omptness, thoroughness, obedience, courtesy, truthfu]uess, and honor. And it gives them erect, manly carriage and bearing. The uniform is worn at aU times at M. M. A. because it snccessfnUy removes all social, monetm·y, ancl class distinctions, placing each hoy 011 an equal footing where merit alone will distinguish him-where he will advance only as he deserves advancement.

A MILITAR Y EDUCATION
IS AN EDUCATION PLUS
The Missouri Military Academy was founded in 1889 as a military school for boys because its founders believed very strongly that a military education offered certain definite advantages to young men during their pre-coJiege days.
Now 1 sixty-five years and three wars later, its Board of Trustees is also con• vinced that a military education has a definite place in a democracy whether that democracy be following the pursuits of peace or whether it be organizing its citizenry for the sacriffoes of war.
What, then, are some of these advantages to be found in an essentially mi1ilary school? W11at are some of the plus values that come from a military education?
In a military academy, the cadets are taught respect for authority with that
authority vested in well chosen leaders. They are taught courtesy with the courteous "Yes, Sir," or "No, Sir" based on respect rather than subserviency. They are taught punctuality with the splitsecond timing of the bugle note; they are taught neatness with its "spit and polish" procedure to keep slovenly habits of dres s from becoming slovenly habits of thought and action. They are taught first to obey cheerfully and promptly, and then, as leaders themselves, to accept willingly the many responsibilities of that leadership.
But, one may say, these are abstract qualities. What are s ome of the practical values derived from such a military education?
What of the prec1s1on that comes from close order drill; the physic al fitness that comes from sustained marching? What of the lessened danger that comes from a thorough knowledge of the care and use of firearms? Is there not also a real value resulting from a practical course in first aid and hygiene-a value that may save lives in time of crisis?
In a military s chool with cadets habitually in uniform there is little place for the cJass distinction that comes from great wealth or social pres tige. Living constantly under the folds of the flag, listening daily to the strains of "The Star-Spangled Banner," these young men s oon become imbued with that love of country which chalienges them to live up to the full stature of citizenship in a democracy.
Since 1920 the Missouri Military Academy has been a unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps under the d irect supervision of the Department of the Army.
Since 1931 it has been continuously rated as an "Honor ROTC Unit" as the result of an annual inspection made by officers detailed for that purpose by the Department of the Army.
Since 1946 the Missouri Military Academy has been designated as a Senior (Ml) Unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
And today, as MMA looks forward to the future, its Board of Trustees is determined more than ever before to make the

Fully cognizant of the fact that much of a hoy's happiness and success in life is dependent in large measure upon his ability to make good contacts in all types of beneficial social pursuits, the M.

A PERFECTlY BAlANCEO PROGRAM FOR All CADET~
The social program at M. M. A. offers a wide range of activities throughout the school year, and every cadet is urged to partic ipate in the entire program. It includes a number of military receptions and balls, formal dinners, afternoon teas, and concerts. These events are held at stated intervals and are attended by visiting young ladies and those from the best homes in Mexico. All activities are carefully supervis ed by members of the faculty. There are also a number of motion picture shows and other entertainments to which cadets may invite friends. With the app1·oval of school authorities, cadets are permitted to visit young ladies in Mexico at stated times, provided such visits do not interfere with school work.

CON~JANJ ~~P[RVl~ION fOR EVERY DOY
Your boy will enjoy a truly delightful, home-like environment in the Junior School, with every provision made for his comfort, health, and happiness, and with men and women of sterling character and proved ability to supervise his every activity. He'll have a large, outside room in the modern, fully equipped barracks, shown at right, amid the most congenial surroundings. He'll be served with plenty of good, nourishing food, prepared under the direction of expert dieticians. He'll take keen delight in the wide variety of healthful, body-building sports, which are conducted by expert coaches. And he'll find it really fun to learn in small classes, such as the one shown below, where close personal supervision will enable him to thoroughly master every lesson.
Small classes give each boy the benefit of personal guidance and close supervision in each study.
A number of organizations, such as the band, left, give every cadet an opportunity to discover and develop his musical talents and appreciation.
There's fun galore in the clean, crystal-clear water of the indoor swimming pool. Here, every boy learns to swim well, and is instructed in life saving methods. The water is healthfully heated.

The recreation room, above, and the hobby shop, rigl1t, provide many happy hours for relaxation and creative activities. Every hoy is encouraged to develop one or more worthwhile hobbies which will bring benefit and pleasure lo him the rest of his life. He is taught to work with woods, metals, clays, and other materials, in fashioning all types of model airplanes, kites, radio sets, etc. ,Vith modern life providing more and more leisure time, the value of such training beco1nes more and mor e apparent.

Great stress is laid upon habits of personal cleanliness. The boys are taught the necessity for regular care of their bodies-frequent ancl thorough bathing, attention lo their leelh, hair, fingernails, etc. Ami they learn to take responsibility for their clothing and other property, keeping their shoes shined ancl their wearing apparel neat ancl clean.
Every day brings forth a great variety of new and interesting experiences to stimulate both mincl and muscle. There are opportunities for numerous hikes into the beautiful country surrounding the Academy, for nature study, for camping or for just plain story-telling around the camp fire after a meal cooked in the open. Other special activities for which ample time is provided include dramatics, glee club, journalism, aml dancing. The junior cadets spend 4,5 minutes claily in moclifiecl military work which produces wonderful results in posture, carriage, punctuality, neatness ancl discipline. They are instructed in marksmanship, courtesy, calisthenics, hygiene, and close onler dril1. The Junior School forms an integral part in all battalion formations such as parades, reviews, guard 1nounts, etc.

Cadets arc enabled to take this course in connection with their regular academic subjecls.
GUIDANCE AT M.M.A.
Realizing that the adolescent. years or a boy's life are the formative years when his character is molded and his attitudes and habits arc fixed. the iVlissouri Mili1ary Acmlemy has organized and instituted a complete guidance program which reaches out 10 each individual boy in an effort Lo provide sympathetic understanding and advice concerning his problems while a cadet. and to assisl him in making a decision rcgan.ling a ru lure voca lion in Lerms of his needs, in teresls, ahili lies, and opporl unities .
\Vhen each cadet is regarded as a unique human being, the need for individual attention and an individualized program becomes more apparent. \Vith this fact in mind, the guidance program al MMA is adminislered by a group of men highly lraincd by s1udy and experience i11 the problems or young men , to the end that each hoy is given individual and careful at Len Lion. helping him to make his own decisions in lhe problems which confront him. Jn order rim I we mar serve bes I I he individual needs of the cadet it is necessary 1ha1 WC may be able to answer the following questions concerning him:
J. Out of whal background docs he come? 2. Whul is his urcscnl slalus ,11·,Hlc,uically, phy,ieullr, ,ociully, and culrurally? J. Whal doc~ he wa111 10 do~ Whal arc his inlcrcst,; aml his gouls? 4-. Whul cun he do? What arc his strcnglll~. hiH lin1i1ations, iuuJ hit-J opporlnnilics? 5. Whnt cxperienceR Hhoul1l he mudc u,•uilahlc lo him?
Guidance al MtWt\, then, is concerned with the dircctiou of growth in terms of: guidanc-e from what, guidance to wlrnl, and guidance through what.
To this end a series of questionnaires and tests is given 10 each cadet at regular intervals 10 determine his aptitudes, abilities, interests, and achievements in the various fields or his activity here al tvlMA. These include, among olhcrs, the :Uenmon-Nclson and the Terrnan-McNcmar Tests of Mental Ability, rhc Stanford Achievement Test, rhe Iowa Silent Reading Test, 1hc Tyler-.Ki111bcr Study Skills Tests, the Uernrcutcr Pen;onality Inventory, the Foust-Schorling Test of Functional Thinking in Ma1hc111atics, the Social Usage Tesl, various tests of physical ability, and for the senior class, rhc American Council on Education Psychological Examination and 1hc Kuder Preference Record. These lcsls, coupled with a careful observation and slucly of each cadet, give complete and aulhoritalivc information about each boy which is used in a personal, kindly, and understanding way
lo enrich his experiences here und lo provide him with a well-integrated personality in later life.
NO COLLEGE WORK
M MA provides a post-graduate course for students who desire additional work lo prepare for business or for college, but no college work is given. It is the firm belief of the Academy that the inclusion o( stmlcnls of college age and experience tends lo rob boys or high school age of many opporlunilies lo develop their initiative and leadership.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
Three years of elementary school work is required for admission lo lhc Junior School. The requirements for admission into the Upper School are the sarisfactory completion of the elementary school course as give11 in the MMA Junior School, or elsewhere.
Only boys of good character arc admilled to either department of the Academy, and those not amenable lo a kin,lly, humane system of discipline arc not acceptable. The Acaclcm y rc~scrvcs the right to refuse aclmissinn lo any applicant, and lo re• quire the withdrawal of any cadet when such withdrawal is for the best interest of the institution.
ADVANCED STANDING
Students may enter either the Junior or Senior School with advanced standing provided their credits made elsewhere arc satisfactory. A statement of all work clone in other schools, together with the grades made and the credits earned. should he sent lo the Academy by the principal. or by some other person in authority at the school last allenclcd.
RELIGION
MMA is strictly non-sectarian but thoroughly Christian. All cadets arc required to allcnd church services every Sunday morning. They attend the denomination lo which they belong, or, i( not regular church members, they go lo the church of their preference. Sickness alone will excuse a cadet from a I lending church.
VESPERS-Each Sunday evening all cadets allend their own beautiful and inspiring vesper services in which the whole cadet corps takes part. These vesper services emphasize clignit r and beauty in form of worship, reverence for religious ideals, and !raining in moral courage.
LEAVES OF ABSENCE

Alrhough 1his department, with its own well-qualified faculty, its own e xccllenl buildings and equipmenl, and ils own grounds and athletic fields, is entirely separale from the High School, it occupies a position of great bcn~lit i~1 c~n11cc1ion w_ith the Senior School. IL carncs w11h IL 1he prestige and resources of the Academy and makes use of many of the High School's facilities. The Junio1· Cadets
make full use of Lhc library, gymnasium, swimming pool, rille range and tennis courts at hours which do not conflict with the use of this equipment hy older boys.
MODIFIED PROGRAM
The Junior Cadets participate in practically every type of aclivity offered in the High School huL each aclivity is carefully modified to suit their si;,;c and
age. A wcll-halanccd program is filled with wholesome stimulating activities in both work and play and is under the consLanL personal supervision of members of the facuhy.
MODIFIED MILITARY TRAINING
A separate military organization is maintained for .I 11nior Cadets. The unit is officered by older members of the Junior School and takes part in all types of military maneuvers on a military basis. The program calls for ,f 5 minutes per day of drill and instruction. IL covers rifle marksmanship, military courtesy, calisthenics, hygiene, drills in barracks formations and close order drill. The Junior School takes parL in all MMA battalion parades and reviews.
Discipline is light hut firm and covers all activities.
COURSE OF STUDY
The course of study in the Junior School, which extends from the fourth through the eighth grade, is planned after the Missouri Stale Course of Study, supplcmenLcd by practices of the best schools in nearby cities and those of eastern preparatory schools. The course is designed Lo prepare students for entrance into the MMA High School or any other standard high school.
SMALL CLASSES - The Junior School classes arc limited lo less than half Lhe number of pupils found in the average puhli c school class. This permits individual help al all times, enables the faculty to know exactly wlrnt each boy has accomplished each day, a11d gives them an accurate understanding of each hoy's needs. Two hours of supervised studyone in the afternoon and one at niuht-give the average hoy plcnLy of Lime to gel his lessons. There is an extra period each day for all students who require additionnl help .
