Old and New...

Gary Miller

Each year at Missouri Military Academy begins with a blend of the old and the new. The grounds, the buildings, the uniforms are much the same. Even the persons on the grounds, in the buildings and in the uniforms are much the same. Most cadets are returning cadets---- old boys---- although there is a heavy sprinkling of the new.

So it was in September when the 1970-71 school year began. The cadets came, marched and drilled, competed in athletics, studied and took tests. Then in late May, 51 received their diplomas. Most, however, left and will return for another September.

So year after year the cadet corps changes—each much like the other, but each a distinct unit of its own with its own characteristics, habits, and make up.

What marked the 1970-71 corps as a unit distinct from the 81 which preceded it? Each individual cadet has his own ideas on that score. We of the yearbook staff have ours, too. But perhaps the best way to record these differences is to present this book with its accounts and pictures of the year 1970-71 and a group of high school and Junior School students collectively known as the Missouri Military Academy cadet corps.

You will see them working or playing, studying or drilling. Deep in the grain of M.M.A. is the three-way objective for its cadet youth----academic excellence, leadership training through ROTC, and physical fitness for all, not just the natural athlete.

As you read or browse you will see this three-way objective at work, too.

MMA Begins School Year Life began in earnest on September 8 on the M.M.A. campus.

New cadets who arrived two days earlier were beginning to fit into the routine. Returning cadets found two surprises awaiting them.

The first surprise came with the first meal. The kitchen and dining hall had changed hands and were now headed by Mr. Jim Bryant of Catering Management, Inc.; the second surprise came at the first home football game, when, for the first time in the history of the Academy, M.M.A. had girl cheerleaders.

The football team, finished September with a 2-1 record, de­ feated Western 8-6, and Van-Far High 16-0, but lost the next game with St. Francis Borgia 34-0.

In other October activities, Col. Charles Stribling III, Academy president, announced that G. Duncan Bauman, publisher of the St. Louis Globe, and William J. Yoest '49, had been named to the Academy's Board of Visitors.

Fifty cadets in junior English classes traveled by bus to Stephens College in Columbia to see the performance of "Our Town."

Robert Baer took over as battalion commander with the rank of captain.

October . .

Dad’s Weekend Activities Highlight of Month October came and Academy life was in full swing. The big event of the month was Dad's Weekend and the activities with it. The weekend started on Saturday, October 24, with the parents watching inspection of quarters. After that came the competitive drills and the special review with the dads trooping the line.

After a buffet luncheon, the cadets and parents watched M.M.A and North Shelby battle to an 8-8 tie on Colonels' Field. That night, most attended the Dad's Day ball, one of the big events in the lives of cadets.

In varsity football, M.M.A. tied with Kemper, beat M.S.D. 12-6 and lost to Fayette, 18-8. The entire corps of cadets made the trip to Kemper to watch M.M.A. attempt and fail to return the Gold Football.

Another special event in October was a special pumpkin cutting contest at Halloween. Earlier that same day the band participated in the Mark Twain Festival in Hannibal.

Snowfall Approaches . .

Homecoming Highlighted November November burst upon the campus, cold and bright, and with it came a flurry of activity. The cadet corps started the month with preparations for Alumni weekend and Homecoming. During Homecoming, the corps went through a special inspection, drill, and a review with the visiting graduates trooping the line.

In the afternoon, both the corps and visitors watched in disap­ pointment as Wentworth defeated the Colonels, 32-6.

November saw the end of the first trimester and cadets took their trimester examinations.

In other highlights, four cadets---- Greg Davis, Jim Cusack, Robert Baer and Rick Frahm—were nominated as “outstanding teenagers." The 1970 yearbook Taps learned it was rated "all Missouri" and the band and Fusileers prepared for their television appearance at a St. Louis Cardinal football game.

Thanksgiving came and left and the Mid-Missouri experienced its first snowfall.

Christmas Brought Lots of Action When December arrived, the morale of the corps was high and Christmas furlough was close. Cadets were "counting down" almost every day.

The Fusileers and band had just finished their television appearance and the praise was still flowing in.

The last days before furlough were filled with activity. On a Wednesday night, the bell rang to end study hall early and each barracks had a party. The residents entertained special guests---- little children from the Missouri School for the Deaf.

The cadets showed the boys around the barracks, fed them hotdogs and soft drinks, and presented them with gifts.

The following night, all cadets attended Evensong services

by Capt. Fred Mauk and the M.M.A. Glee Club. After Evensong, the cadets made final preparations for going home---- for most the first time since September.

Friday before furlough dawned cold and clear. The cadets were "signed out" by 10:30 a.m. and almost all were on their way home or to the homes of friends.

During January and February, the cadets moved into a routine. These two months are generally considered the bleakest in a cadet's life because of the long dark days. For some, however, there was a real bright spot in the educational tour.

This year the educational tour visited historical locations in Wash­ ington D.C., New York, Philadelphia and Jamestown.

In mid-February, cadet life was brightened by the Valentine Ball.

Cadets brought their favorite girls from home or from Mexico.

Although cadet life contained considerable routine, there was still plenty to do. There were four varsity sports—basketball, rifle, swim­ ming and wrestling. Pride in one's company was a strong motivator in the Battalion Basketball League. Also there were meets in swimming, weightlifting, and some played soccer.

The Epple Art Memorial Contest saw Rob McClaskey win sweep­ stakes honors and take two other awards. The Dramateers put on three one-act plays.

This was also the month when cadets saw TV broadcasts of men walking on the moon.

March-April Period Slowly Brought Change The 1971 winter moved into March and showed a strong tendency to hang on. Cadets looked forward to the week-long furlough and finally that day arrived. All too soon for most, it was over.

The wintry weather stayed on, even into April.

First event upon furlough return was the Northeast Missouri High School Festival at Kirksville. There, the M.M.A. Eagle won top honors and individual cadets shared in assorted honors.

A promotion order boosted Charles Barney and Rick Frahm to captain rank. Jeff Brummet, Frahm and Jim Cusack told of their participation in the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans in Washington D.C. The Fusileers returned from Illinois with the second place trophy for standard drill in the national competition.

Glee Club and band members won honors in district competition.

Highlight of April, however, was the Tulip Ball. Friends, family and dates arrived for that event, and many stayed over the following day to see the M.M.A. science exhibit.

Two events marked the end of the month. Seven long-time staff members and teachers were honored at a review. And the Dramateers put on three one-act plays.

The weather warmed up, spring sports were in full swing, and the end of the school year was just days away.

May Brought Many Activities and Commencement As is always the case at M.M.A., the few weeks of May were full of activities. The high spot, of course, was commencement, but many things preceded that.

Government Inspection arrived on May 14. The corps again won an honor rating---- its 42nd in 42 years.

The Fusileers traveled to Columbia to compete in the State Military Schools Drill meet. The Fusileers returned from Columbia with every honor offered. The unit won first in individual drill, first in standard drill and won the trophy for best over-all.

Mother's Day on May 9 arrived. Once again cadets and their mothers participated in the flower-pinning ceremony on the front campus.

For the Junior School especially, and for the faculty of both schools, the retirement of Lt. Col. G. David Bailey who was honored at a review for his 36 years at M.M.A. was a sad occasion.

On the athletic fields, the golfers, tennis players, trackmen and baseball players wrapped up their seasons.

Finally, commencement Day arrived. Awards and certificates were presented. Greg Davis, who won valedictorian honors, and Robert Baer who received two of the top trophies, were the big winners.

Year Comes to End

With Shouts, Tears

Cadet Major Robert Baer passes the ceremonial saber to Sgt. Maj. Fernando Tremari, the 1971-72 battalion commander designate.

Dr. C. Brice Ratchford, president of the University of Missouri, was commencement speaker. He marched in perfect step at the Senior review and watched with interest as Bob Baer turned over the command to Fernando Tremari, the 1971-72 battalion com­ mander designate.

The ceremony represented the end of the old, the beginning of the new.

Following the commencement address and awarding of diplomas to 51 seniors and 39 in the Junior School, cadets marched to the front campus for the emotional Au Revoir ceremony. There they said goodbye, heard the final command of "dismissed," shouted with delight, and headed for their homes.

Brian Greiner, whose company won the best-drilled title, is congratulated by his mother, Mrs. Claude A. Greiner.

Dining Hall Switch Major Administrative Change A change in the food operation marked the major administrative move during the 1970-71 school year. Catering Management, Inc., an outside firm, took over the operation of the dining hall which enabled Major Orrval Maupin to give his full time to the Quartermaster Department.

Jim Bryant was named food supervisor. He and his firm started a series of special nights to enliven things for cadets.

Otherwise, the administrative set-up continued as it had for two earlier years. Col. C. R. Stribling was chairman of the board and con­ tinued to teach his class of senior honors English. Col. Charles Stribling III finished his third year as president of M.M.A. and taught his class of honors junior English.

Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm was principal of the high school, taught Spanish, and supervised night study halls.

Lt. Col. E. R. Jackson directed the admissions staff, and beginning with this year, is getting some outside help. Five persons on the ad­ missions staff of William Woods College were named to the M.M.A. staff as well.

Major Paul Cherches again directed the Music Department, and Capt. Charles Vines carried the heavy responsibility of commandant of cadets. In addition, Major Cherches taught humanities, and Captain Vines headed the English Department and taught English.

Major Joe Bailey carried the duties of athletic director. He was also a history teacher, and head coach of the football team.

English Teaching Changes with Trends Under the direction of Capt. Charles W. Vines, the Academy English program continued its change with the trends. New texts were introduced in many courses and the reading lists were updated to bring in some modern "best seller" novels as well as the historical and traditional reading.

The M.M.A. English program touches more persons at the Academy than any other phase of study. Three of the administra­ tors---- Col. C. R. Stribling, Col. Charles Stribling III and Captain Vines were English teachers in addition to their other duties.

Also, English is required for four years so all cadets in the high school were in some course of English.

Most of the changes this year were the result of actions taking place the previous years. The general trend was toward more thematic units of study with the literature and language skills

CAPT. E. L. GILMORE English—Publications B.A., State University of Iowa; M.B.A., University of Colorado .

worked into each unit. Some sections of junior English used pro­ grammed textbooks. All sections put emphasis on development of vocabulary.

A highlight during the year was the W. Wallace Fry speech competition. It started in the English class sections where each cadet gave a speech. Upon the recommendation of the instructor, the best advanced to the semi-finals for judging by all English In­ structors. The finalists then spoke during commencement with a panel of judges awarding the cup to Jim Edmonston, a junior.

Besides the administrators, other English teachers were Major Courtney Durham, Capt. Fred Mauk who also taught vocal music, Capt. E. L. Gilmore who also supervised publications, and Lt. David Arnold.

Various Departments

Worked Together The Social Studies teachers worked closely with those in the English Department through much of the year. One technique was to dual grade certain term papers. The history-economics instructor would grade for content; the English teacher for form and grammar.

The Social Studies Department had the only newcomer to the faculty. He was Lt. Albert Hamlin, who had graduated from South­ east Missouri State College the summer before the school year be­ gan. Lt. Hamlin taught economics and government.

Major Kenneth Mortenson and Lt. David Arnold shared the history teaching duties.

While many of the assemblies stressed new science or dramatics, some were concerned with social issues and were aimed at giving the cadet better background in governmental and economic pro­ grams. One was the appearance of Rep. William Hungate who talked on governmental operations in Washington D.C.

Language Department Showed Some Changes While the language department was one of the smallest in the high school, it was the one making some of the major changes.

Third and fourth year Spanish was added to the regular two-year program and advanced French was taught, too.

Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm, high school principal who taught English

in Mexico for many summers, taught the Spanish program. Major Ernest Lehto, who studied French on the faculty fellowship two summers before, taught French and Latin.

Both used tape devices in a language laboratory situation to supplement the written grammatical instruction.

Science Department Put On Displays Working closely together, the science and mathematics depart­ ments developed several new programs this year. During the week­ end of the Tulip Ball, when there were many visitors on campus, the departments put on a science exhibit which proved popular with parents. Cadets were on hand to explain the workings of various devices.

Major John Reddick headed the science department, Lt. Keith Byerly taught chemistry as well as mathematics. Capt. Thomas Wiles, the Senior Army Instructor, taught one course in biology and

Lt. Ron Kelly taught the others. Capt. James Marley also taught physics in addition to his mathematics classes.

Major Reddick, who is also guidance counselor, taught a section of earth science.

With the small classes and close interrelationships, it was possible to conduct experiments in two or more areas easily. Jim Kufdakis, for example, conducted a combination biology-chemistry experi­ ment with his study of certain chemicals and their effect on mice.

More Mathematics

Courses Added With Capt. James Marley as the Mathematics Department head, the already extensive M.M.A. mathematics program stepped into more new areas during the year. Coordinate geometry and trigo­ nometry were added which gave M.M.A. "about as extensive a mathematics program as can be found anywhere---- especially for a school this size," Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm, principal, said.

Work in computer programming continued under the instruction of Capt. Ray Campbell, Cadets again punched their keypunch cards and ran their programs at the Central Missouri Livestock Exchange.

M.M.A. has courses in pre-algebra open to freshmen, algebra, geometry and advanced mathematics in addition to the coordinate geometry-trigonometry course.

Besides Captain Marley and Captain Campbell, Lt. Keith Byerly taught mathematics in addition to chemistry; Lt. Pat Magoon taught algebra, and Capt. David Steinmetz taught basic mathematics in addition to psychology.

Two Departments

Functioned Alone Two members of the M.M.A. faculty were departments by them­ selves. Capt. Thomas O'Brien was the business instructor. He taught classes in typing (both high school and Junior School), bookkeeping and business law.

Miss Edna Bickley was librarian. In addition, her mathematical skills also made it possible for some cadet in study hall to get some help with a problem.

The year was the last for Miss Bickley. She retired at the end of the year after having been honored along with six other longtime employees at a review.

Miss Bickley has been at M.M.A. for 15 years. Her school teaching career, however, stretches back almost 50 years. She taught mathematics in Kirksville and Mexico High before working with the Mexico Public Library for 14 years.

Teaching only never makes up the sole duty of a Missouri Military Academy faculty member. All have some other duty some have several. About half the faculty members are involved in the night study hall supervision, all take a turn at reveille duty, and another group are on the "officer in charge" roster.

Faculty officers work with cadets as class sponsors and as coaches, athletic, dramatic or in publications. With the extensive battalion and varsity athletic programs, almost all faculty officers have had the chance to coach some sport sometime.

The faculty officers work closely with the cadets, in class, at play, or at work. In fact, wherever the cadet action is, there you will find a member of the faculty.

Dedicated Staff Cared for Cadets

Russell Jerchow and Ray West at review which honored them.

Many things at M.M.A. function without the help or advice of cadets, faculty and even the administration. These are things handled by an experienced and dedicated staff.

Looking after the cadets' collective health takes a lot of work on the part of Dr. Peter Ekern and his staff at the infirmary. Keeping up with the paper work and records takes the time of the office women---- Mrs. Madge Graham, Mary Kehl, Sarah Heberrer, and Marge Francis.

Keeping lawns mowed, the barracks in repair, water running, buildings heated, cleaned and cooled, while helping hang such things as decorations for the dances falls the lot of Russell Jerichow and his crew of maintenance men. The work of the leaders of these men was recognized this spring when Mr. Jerichow, and his assist­ ant, Ray West, were among those longtime employees honored at a review.

At that same review, Mrs. Ralph Ward was also honored for her years as hostess in the cadet canteen. She retired at the end of the year.

William George Arney Bill excelled in the unique activity of exploring caves. It is said "curiosity killed the cat" but "satisfaction brought him back." If this is true, then someday Bill will run into something good in his explora­ tions. Curiosity is a virtue, and Bill had his share and then some. As a cadet he exhibited this curiosity in all areas of Academy life.

Robert Glover Baer, Jr. Sugar Bear

A couple of qualities marked the personality of the 1970-71 battalion commander. One was his quiet dry humor. The other was his methodical manner when going about things. "He didn't say much but when he did it was meaningful," one of his classmates summed up. Despite the responsibilities that went with his rank.

Bob found time to make a big push academically in his senior year.

He also commanded the Fusileers and excelled in wrestling. He was the winner of the Superior Cadet Ribbon given on Mother's Day.

Chuck was a cadet without much to say, but he got the job done.

He sometimes took a laconic view of things, and could clown around, too. But as adjutant of the battalion, he kept things functioning. He was a consistent winner of the Soldier's Bar and an active member of the Fusileers. He is one of two cadets who made captain without being a company commander.

Donald Allison Bewkes, Jr. Few persons were stronger on being military than Don. His hero was World War II Gen. George S. Patton and his favorite topic was tank warfare. But Don was not a scowling Prussian. He was cheerful, smiled easily, and turned red easily when he was the butt of some joke. He loved to surf and go to the beach. He plans attending Texas Christian University with plans to become a dentist.

Michael Lee Bloom During his three-year stay, Mike was noted for his athletic ability, on and off the field. He was a varsity defensive back and lineman and one of the top wrestlers and boxers. His last year was the best by far.

Rarely was he on the pink sheet and he kept strict order on Echo's first floor. He helped those who needed it and never asked for a reward. He had a way with people and always had a friend or two in town. Most everyone thought his tastes were good except for his music. Being from Nebraska, he had to have country and western. He plans to go to the University of Nebraska and later take up ranching.

Michael Paul Dickey Mike was a cadet who could change his plans often, but he was a dedicated musician. He played in the band for four years, and lived in Band Company all three years after its organization as a separate unit.

He was an active athlete and a member of the varsity wrestling team.

He was also friendly and looked at the world with quiet good humor.

Thomas Morton McCue Telling one McCue from the other may have baffled the faculty, but it never bothered many cadets, especially those who lived with them in the Band barracks. Thom had a way with musical instruments and was head drummer in the band. He also won a host of honors in district and state competition. He outranked his brother, although it was Pete who came to the Academy first.

William Donald Marass Bill was known best for exhibiting a skeptical curiosity about every­ thing. He liked active things and was one of those who always participa­ ted in the winter soccer program. During the spring, he turned to boxing. Bill lived in Delta Company for three years. He was strong for things in the military area and planned to join the Marine Corps after graduation.

Gary Lee Miller Gary was a cadet who had the capacity to do just about as much as he pleased if he felt inclined to do so. When he started a job, he liked to stick with it in uninterrupted activity until he got it done. His moods were frequently changeable and sometimes this resulted in seeing him in hot water with the commandant. In general, Gary liked the military life and plans to attend either Virginia Military Institute or the Citadel after graduation.

James Christopher Naeter Naet

Few cadets were ever named to more elective offices than Chris.

He was president of the senior class, just as he was class president his other three years. He was also president of the M Club. Chris played battalion football his first three years, but in his fourth year played for the varsity. M.M.A. was having a winning season until Chris was injured. Chris followed his brother here. Besides elective offices, he was at one time battalion adjutant and provost of the Military Police.

Chuck came to M.M.A. in the middle of his junior year and almost immediately became involved in the musical groups on campus. In his senior year, he formed "Mourning Rain," a combo that played at intermissions to formal dances and at the informal dances. But Parsons had other interests as well. He was on the At Ease staff. He became M.M.A.'s heavyweight wrestler and although having no previous exper­ ience, piled up a string of early victories. He also won the battalion heavyweight boxing title. He was extremely level-headed, had a good sense of humor and was considered one of the more mature teenagers at the Academy.

Christopher Allen Pedersen Chris was active in all phases of Academy life. He excelled in sports and won letters in football, basketball and track. He was in the upper 10 per cent of his military class, thus earning the Military Wreath. He was also a member of Delta Phi. He had friends on campus and friends in town as well. He was known for being level-headed, one who enjoyed humor, but could take responsibility. He enjoyed outdoor life with his dogs, horses and cattle. He traveled widely, and will be making a six-weeks' tour of Europe during the summer in the People-to-People program.

Romualdo Enrique Romero-Castellano Waldo

When "Waldo” came to he faced a difficult barrier in poor ability to speak English. He found this sometimes got him into trouble and he made an all-out effort to remedy the situation. By the end of his senior year, he was speaking English quite well. He was generally smiling and easy to get along with, but also had an explosive tempera­ ment. He liked American football, but mostly he liked playing battalion basketball.

Richard Edward Saner Ed was a spirited and industrious three-year cadet. He liked English and it was the best of all his subjects. At the end of his junior year, Ed received a meritas plaque. He went out for Echo Company football his senior year and played end. He also went out for basketball during his senior year and played varsity. He is planning to go to college and hopes to play basketball there, too. "I only wish M.M.A. were co-educational," he once observed.

Thomas Alan Schaefer Tom was well liked by the cadets during his four years at M.M.A. because of his carefree and cheerful attitude. In his senior year Tom began to show his leadership ability and became a member of the Echo Company staff. There were two things he really enjoyed---- music and a popular soft drink. One could walk into his room nearly any freetime pe­ riod and find him listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young or Steppen­ wolf. He would also have a soft drink in his hand. Tom was always willing to help a recruit any way he could. He plans to become a pharmacist.

Few persons were more interested in sports than Mike. He didn't have all the skills to be an athlete himself, but in any sport, he would have to be given the award for M.M.A.'s most loyal fan. Mike could suffer the pangs of defeat worse than those in the game. He played battalion level sports in football, where he could kick further than most high school players, and basketball. He was just as athletically loyal to his company as he was to the Academy. Mike wanted to be a sports writer and did a lot of work for Eagle and Taps. If he saw a sports event, he could recall the details of it several months afterward. He also wrote for At Ease.

Raymond Christopher Stotlar One of the most active cadets in athletics and positions of leadership was Ray Stotlar. He was a three-year first lieutenant, a rare distinction.

He was an Honor Athlete for lettering in football, wrestling and track during his senior year, and was named Athlete of the Year at commence­ ment. Ray was vice president of the M Club. During the latter half of the school year he roomed with the battalion commander. Ray plans to attend John A. Logan College in Illinois.

Anthony Harman Wilson Just about everything Tony did became a "first." He became M.M.A.'s first Negro graduate on Commencement Day. Most cadets, however, will remember Tony as an athlete and a cadet leader. He was consistent­ ly elected to class offices and to M—Club positions because he saw to it that jobs got done. In almost any athletic field,Tony excelled. He was a varsity football and baseball star all his years at the Academy. Although out for baseball, he entered the battalion track meet 100 yard dash and won easily.

Barbee Led Junior Class Once again members of the Junior Class were active in all phases of Academy activities. Carl Barbee was elected president at the beginning of the school year with Terry Logue as vice president and Ted Manassa as secretary-treasurer.

The class sponsored several dances and a barbecue at Camp Mismilaca.

Academically, the race for top spot was close with Manassa edging out Barbee for honors in the last grading period of the year.

In sports several varsity letter winners were juniors and Mark Brown was named an honor athlete for winning three varsity letters.

Jim Edmonston, editor of the Eagle, became one of the big honor winners when he won the W. Wallace Fry Speech Contest and received the Lyle Wilson Scroll for Journalism at Commence­ ment.

Honor to Sophomores While other classes had their scholars and athletes, too, the sophomore class had one distinction none of the others could claim. Rob McClaskey was named the "most creative cadet" and was awarded the Jack Meyers Cup at commencement.

McClaskey won largely on the basis of his showing in the second annual Kathryn Epple Memorial Art Contest where he won the sweepstakes award and two smaller awards.

McClaskey was one of the top scholars, too. He finished fourth in the class. Larry Miller followed and then came Brent Stone, Bill Enright, Kevin Gregory and Richard Tiek.

John Reddick was the most athletic sophomore. He was named an honor athlete for winning three varsity letters, the only sophomore to do so. Reddick received letters in football, wrestling and baseball.

Thompson Elected

by Freshman Class From Ames to Ziske there were 54 freshmen on campus during the 1970-71 school year and those 54 made up one of the most active groups of all.

Tim Thompson, a graduate of the Junior School, was named president. Mike Knoll, another Junior School graduate, was treasur­ er. Named to the Cadet Council as first-year representative was Ted Baer, younger brother of the battalion commander.

Lt. Ron Kelly was class sponsor.

Freshmen sponsored the usual activities such as dances, but one of the most popular events was a trip to St. Louis to see the St. Louis Cardinals play in a National League game. The Cards lost, however.

Colonels Opened Year with Two Victories The varsity football team finished the season with a .500 record---three victories, three losses and two ties.

Major Joe Bailey, head coach, Capt. David Steinmetz and Lt. Pat Magoon, assistants, opened football camp Sept. 2 with 13 lettermen from 1969 and several cadets from last year's Battalion Football League, the Junior School, and a few first-year cadets.

The Maroon and Gold season started well. M.M.A. dumped visiting Western Military Academy 8-6 and then thumped the Van-Far Indians at Vandalia 16-0.

That Van-Far game, played at night, was held up almost an hour by a terrific rainstorm. Water stood ankle deep on much of the field, leading one player to remark, "if the tacklers didn't get up in a hurry the ballcarrier drowned."

Tony Wilson did the scoring against Western when he returned a punt 60 yards. Chris Naeter carried the conversion.

Quarterback Jeff Brummet scored both touchdowns for M.M.A. at Vandalia. Then he and Naeter carried the conversions.

Strong St. Francis Routed Colonels 34-0 October 2 found the Colonels hosting the Black Knights of St. Francis Borgia, considered one of the best teams in the state in its class. The Colonels fought hard, held their own during the first half with the Knights holding a 14-0 lead at the intermission.

Gradually, during the second half the Knights' superior strength and size began to wear down the smaller, lighter Colonels. With all­ state quarterback Dave Neier leading a poised, well-balanced attack, St. Francis pounded the Maroon and Gold into a 34-0 submission.

Neier personally scored two touchdowns and connected on scoring passes of 21 and 33 yards.

Tie Enabled Kemper to Keep Gold Football The entire cadet corps traveled to Kemper Military School at Boon­ ville October 9 to see the annual Gold Football battle between the two schools. While M.M.A. wasn't a loser, neither did the Colonels return with the Gold Football. When the game was over the score stood at a 6-6 tie.

M.M.A. scored the first touchdown with an 89-yard march early in the game. Tony Wilson carried the last 17 yards. But from that point on, M.M.A. could not score and Kemper threatened several times. Late in the fourth period, a Kemper lineman blocked an M.M.A. punt attempt. The Yellowjackets recovered on the M.M.A. 3 and scored the tying touchdown two plays later.

Following the Kemper tie, M.M.A. played Missouri School for the Deaf on the M.S.D. field. This time M.M.A. won, 12-6, and at this point in the season had a respectable 3-1-1 record. Chris Naeter and Tony Wilson did the scoring for M.M.A. Naeter, a senior playing his first year of varsity football, came up from the Battalion Football League where he starred the year before.

His running put some speed in the M.M.A. backfield. That M.S.D. game, however, was to be his last. In scrimmage the following week he injured his arm and was out for the season. And M.M.A. did not win another game all season. is stopped short of the goal.

Colonels Tie Shelby, Lose to Fayette For the first time in history, M.M.A. played North Shelby High School and when the game ended, the Colonels had another tie on the record. This time the score was 8-8. Again M.M.A. scored early in the game and again a blocked punt late in the game enabled the opposition to score and come up with a tie.

Jeff Brummet scored M.M.A.'s touchdown on a five-yard run.

The game was played before the Dad's Day crowd, largest gathering at Colonels' Field during the year.

Following North Shelby, M.M.A. went on the road to play Fayette High at Fayette. M.M.A. took an early lead on a touchdown and a safety. Fayette came back and scored two touchdowns—one an 80-yard pass-lateral play. Once again a blocked kick set up an opposition touchdown.

The loss left M.M.A. 3-2-2 at that point.

Wentworth dominated the game throughout through the use of a single-wing offense.

At the annual football dinner following the season end, Ray Stotlar was given his jersey No. 46 as honorary team captain. Don Huscher was named outstanding lineman and Tony Wilson was named outstanding back. The two received the Len Japp Trophy.

Echo Captured Third Grid Title Echo Company's Golden Warriors won their third Battalion Football League title in a row when the team downed Delta 14-8 in the championship playoft game Nov. 6.

Echo won two and tied one in earning a spot in the playoff.

The season end meant the Golden Warriors are undefeated after three years, but unlike previous seasons, the record was marred by a tie.

Delta won the playoff spot with two victories and a tie. That tie was a 0-0 game between the two leaders played in the second game of the year on Oct. 8.

Band provided a major surprise in the opening game when it downed Alpha 14-0. It was the first victory for Band in three years.

Band finished with a 1-3 record and Alpha had a 0-3 mark at regular season end. But in the playoff for third place. Alpha won 12-0.

Three times Delta drove deep into Echo territory, once to the one-yard line, but each time the Golden Warrior defense held. At the time the Echo eleven was protecting a scoreless string that extends through the previous season. That string was to be snapped during the 1970 season, but not this day.

On October 23, however, Alpha which did not win a regular season game all season, accomplished the job of scoring on Echo. Although losing 8-6, the touchdown scored by Robert Baer on a fumble recovery left a mark on the Echo record.

Alpha also fell to Delta, this time, 12-0, with Bill Lewis scoring both touchdowns for the winners.

Colonel Cagers Finished with 6-10 Missouri Military Academy's basketball team opened the season with high hopes of having the best won-loss mark at the end in several years. The Colonels succeeded with six victories and 10 defeats, the final loss being in the district tournament.

While the record was not all that M.M.A. hoped, a succession of one-point losses made the difference between a winning season and a losing one.

The 6-10 mark was the best since 1966 when M.M.A. finished 6-8. The Colonels' last winning season was 1963 with a 10-6.

Bob Keagle led the M.M.A. cagers. He hit in games for 23,20, 16, 15 and 14 points. Paul Webb also hit the above 20-point mark at times.

M.M.A. was 1-3 at the beginning of Christmas furlough but then won three straight games after returning for a 4-3 mark at that point.

Echo Captured Basketball Title Echo Company's basketball team scored a 56-52 victory over Alpha in the final game of the Battalion Basketball League season to wrap up the title.

The victory left Echo with a 5-1 mark. Alpha was second with 5-2 and Band and Delta had records of 1-4 each to tie for third place.

Following the regular BBL season, a team made up of stars from Band, Alpha and Delta played Echo's regulars in the playoff game. The stars were selected by the coaches. Echo won the game, 47-37, with Tad Auner and John Boehmler pacing the victory.

Major Ernest Lehto, director of the BBL, named those two and Chris Benson, Don Bewkes and Chris Naeter to the All-Star team.

They received medals at the winter sports dinner.

Draft of Players Equalized Competition When the regular Battalion Basketball League season ended, there was still some time left, so the coaches got together and came up with a player draft arrangement to choose up sides for another season.

First round choices were John Boehmler, Chris Naeter, Don Bewkes and Chris Benson. Drawn in the second round were Jack Hannemann, Ralph Romero, Tad Auner and Howard Elliott.

The Bucks won the title with a 3-1 record. Highlights of play included a 24 point effort by Naeter and a third period scoring burst by Mario Rodriguez which enabled his team to win a game.

The competition was close throughout the season because the method of choosing players led to a high degree of balance.

Wrestlers Finished with 4-5 Record Missouri Military Academy's wrestling team had its second losing season with four victories and five defeats in dual matches.

The Colonels flattened Kemper 51-5, defeated Fulton 27-19, and then after Christmas furlough, thumped Western 43-13, whipped Kemper again 47-3. Wentworth trimmed the Colonels 25-21, and the Maroon and Gold was barely edged by Principia 23-22.

The Colonels traveled to Hannibal and were downed by the Pirates 29-21. The Colonels met disaster against Columbia Hickman, taking a 39-9 loss, and Jefferson City Helias where they took a 34-14 loss.

The junior varsity wrestled in three dual matches, winning two and losing one. A highlight came when the jayvees placed third in the four-team Moberly Junior Varsity Quadrangular and when the var­ sity team took third in the Class M—S District Tournament at Moberly.

In the district. Bob Montin, Mike Dickey, and Pat O'Dea won first places, John Kane took a second, Mike Scifres, Jeff Brummet, Ray Stotlar, and Chuck Parsons took a third. Montin and Dickey placed fourth in the regional, also at Moberly.

Swimmers Split

with Two Foes Finding some foes seemed to be the biggest problem facing the swimming team during the season. Western Military canceled out, and the M.M.A. cadets lost the chance to compete in the Tri-Military when the bus broke down.

This left the Colonels with two victories over Kemper, 56-35, and 48-42, and two sound thumpings by Hickman High of Columbia, 80-14 and 72-23.

Pitching Weakness Hurt Baseball Team

3

-

With lots of hit but little glove and pitch, M.M.A.'s baseball team ended with a 3-9 season record. The team's final action came in the district tournament where it was eliminated by Community R—6.

Greg Davis did most of the mound work and took most of the losses. Tony Wilson, primarily a centerfielder, did some pitching as did Scott Fabling and John Reddick.

Freshman Rich Ramsey led the team at bat. Ramsey hit .447 with three doubles. Tony Wilson followed with .424 but Jack Hannemann, one of the smallest players, was the heaviest sticker.

He rapped 20 base hits in 49 times up, including three doubles, three triples and a homer. The combination gave him 32 total bases for a .653 slugging percentage.

Major Ernest Lehto coached the team; Lt. Pat Magoon assisted.

Losing Season When Missouri Military Academy's trackmen topped North Callaway 67-65 on the Thunderbird track, the Colonels narrowly avoided a shutout for the season. M.M.A. won that meet, and that was all. In the Tri-MiIitary, the Colonels trailed both Wentworth and Kemper. At the Centralia Invitational, M.M.A. finished fifth in a field of six.

There were bright spots, however. In that invitational, Jim Kufdakis won the two mile for his fifth first place in six meets. Jeff Brummet, who spent much of his free time "working out", also won a first at that meet.

Academy Offers Many Minor Sports Participation in some form of sports during the hour-and-a-half athletic period is required of all cadets, except those physically unable to do so. But not all can be on varsity teams, or even on battalion level teams. Consequently, many cadets participate in a general run of activities such as soccer, softball, bowling, horseman­ ship, and volleyball One of the highlights of the spring is the battalion track meet— a one-day affair where those on the varsity track team are permitted to participate but not in their varsity specialty.

Echo Company won the meet this year, followed by Delta, Alpha and Band. Jim Kufdakis, running in the mile and half mile and Bill Sankus, throwing the shot and running the 440, were the

102

only double winners.

In soccer, the cadets played on the frozen fields during the winter months but then the league continued into the spring for the first time. Many of the Latin cadets played during the spring, and because of their intense interest and superior playing skill, some zest was added to the league.

Bill Meskill and Sgt. 1/C Lavernon Smiddy got a bowling league started for the first time. Competing on Saturdays and Sundays, the league had five teams. Mike Dickey had high individual series at season end and Larry Lipscomb had high individual game average.

At mid-winter, leading the league was Evan Ames with high average and high game.

Sankus, O’Dea Set Records in Weights Bill Sankus proved to be the outstanding weighlifter in the corps this year. He hefted 125 pounds in the curl, 165 in the press and 220 in the jerk for a 510 pound total. This set a record in the 149181 pound weight class and came within a few pounds of the over­ all record.

Pat O'Dea who lifted a 405 total in the 132 pound class also set a record.

Those two won their weight classes easily. Other winners were Luis Inserney in the 133-148 pound class and Dave Vieira in the un­ limited class. Inserney lifted 395 pounds; Vieira lifted 495.

Weightlifters were under the supervision of Major Kenneth Mortenson. The four winners were presented medals at the winter sports dinner.

Golfers and Tennis Team Were Victors Both the Missouri Military Academy golf and tennis teams fought their way to successful seasons during 1971. The M.M.A. golfers defeated Kemper and Wentworth by substantial margins to win the Tri-Military golf meet.

In the tennis, the team of Terry Logue and Bob Epple won the Tri-Military doubles championship. They downed Dave Parthun and Dan Graebner in the first round and then defeated Ted Timberlake and Jeff Givens of Kemper for the championship.

John Boehmler, winner of the Chuck Foley Golf Trophy, was again M.M.A.'s outstanding golfer. Throughout the season he play­ ed par and near-par golf.

Boehmler finished third in the district tournament but did not get to go to state. Under the rules, the top four teams and the in­ dividual medalist, if he is not a member of one of the eligible four teams, advances to state. Boehmler finished with an 18-hole 74, two strokes behind two others tied at 72.

The pep band of C Company leads the corps to the Kemper game. Because so many band members were on the varsity football team, only about half were left to play at games.

112

Band Captured Many Academic Honors Band Company, also known as C Company, again proved to be strong academically but weak athletically during the 197071 school year.

Band finished last in the Battalion Football League but took some consolation in winning a game, the first for the musicians since being formed into a separate company three years ago.

Band, however, was a heavy contributor to the varsity athletic teams, which accounts to a considerable degree the weaknesses found at battalion level sports.

Cadet Capt. Jeff Brummet commanded the band, assisted

by Rick Frahm as executive officer.The two led the C Company unit to many victories in inspections.

Frahm, Bill Gant, and Brummet were high in the senior class academic rankings and Howard Elliott was a competitor for top honors in the junior class. Jerel Best and John Reddick were right behind Alpha Company's Joe Alonis in the sophomore class.

Major Paul Cherches, M.M.A.'s director of music, was also counselor for his band members.

for Inspection In all companies there was always considerable activity preparing for Saturday inspection. E Company, largest on the campus, was no excep­ tion.

Rooms were swept out; presses put in order, belongings dusted off with care.

With more than 90 cadets participating, E Company inspections called for more effort on the part of the leaders and the members in it. E Com­ pany, however, was favored by a new barracks which made many of the housekeeping chores easier.

Echo won its share of the inspections so the preparations paid off.

Fusileers Won Many Honors In many respects, 1970-71 was The Year of the Fusileers. The crack drill unit performed on national television, and won just about every honor it possibly could.

When school resumed in the fall, Major Kenneth Mortenson was not long in getting the platoon organized. With Robert Baer as lead­ er, the Fusileers prepared for their first public performance--a na­ tional television appearance at halftime of a St. Louis Cardinals football game.

Then, the unit eased off, but picked up the tempo again in late

February for the Illinois National Drill Championships. The Fusileers having won top honors in Class B last year stepped up to Class A this year. When the results were in the unit won second place in regulation drill and fifth place in exhibition drill. M.M.A.'s unit was the only one in the class from a high school.

At the state meet in Columbia, the Fusileers won first in ex­ hibition,first in regulation and took the trophy for over-all honors.

And then just to make a clean sweep of everything, Fusileer Rich Zahnow won the medal for first in individual drill, too.

Corps Again Won Honor Rating Learning military skills is a year-round program for an M.M.A. cadet, but most consider the climax as the short two days called "G.l.” At Government Inspection the work of the cadet corps in military is assessed and measured. At stake is the honor rating— sort of a pass-fail system of grading.

M.M.A.'s cadet corps passed again this year, just as it had done for the preceding 41 years. Perhaps the motivation to succeed grows stronger, for no class wants to be the one that breaks the

chain.

Lt. Col. Mitchell Corey was the inspecting officer. He arrived May 14, was greeted by the honor guard, and then went through the series of inspections.

The tactics battle, climax of G.l, took place this year. In contrast to the two previous years, the weather was bright and sunny with no rain.

Captain Wiles Serves

Last Year at M.M.A. Capt. Thomas Wiles again headed the military staff as senior Army instructor. But it was the last year for the popular officer at Missouri Military Academy. At the year end he received his orders to report else­ where.

Sgt. Major Sylvester Bolinski, a three-war veteran of 31 years in the Army, was second in command. Newcomer to the faculty was Sgt. First Class Lavernon Smiddy, who like Captain Wiles and Sergeant Bolinski, is a veteran of Viet Nam.

Band Appeared at Many Events From the time school opened in the fall right up to and through commencement the M.M.A. band units were involved in all manner of musical activity.

Aside from playing at reviews and forming as a Drum and Bugle Corp for mess formations, the band's first activity was marching in the Mark Twain festival at Hannibal. Then came the University of Missouri Homecoming parade and then an appearance on national television at a St. Louis Cardinals football game.

The band also played at the Miss Hannibal pageant, but the most active day came early in the spring when the band played at the dedication of the Winston Churchill statue at Westminster College in Fulton. On that day the band played for a regular Sunday review, traveled by bus to Fulton to play for the dedication, then returned to campus for an evening dress parade.

There was a special reason for inviting the M.M.A. band to the statue dedication. It was an M.M.A. band that played there 25 years before when Churchill made his famous Iron Curtain speech.

Mike Dickey was drum major of the band. Jeff Brummet was band commander.

Publications Staff Won Many Awards The M.M.A. publications staff was smaller this year but still one of the most active. It published the monthly newspaper Eagle, the yearbook Taps, and put on twice weekly sports broadcasts and once monthly television broadcasts over local cable See-TV. Jim Edmonston headed the Eagle staff. The junior also received the Lyle Wilson Scroll for journalism.

The Eagle once again won All-American Honors from the Na­ tional Scholastic Press Association, All-Missouri from the Missouri Scholastic Press Association and Medalist honors from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The Medalist rating was the first since 1966.

The yearbook from last year won an All-Missouri rating, only the second such rating won by Taps in history.

The dormant Quill and Scroll chapter was revived with the in­ duction of David Schaefer, Brian Greiner, Jack Hannemann, Gary Miller, Jim Edmonston and Roy Covyeau. At the annual publica­ tions dinner, Art Sprague became a sophomore member under a rul­ ing which permits the initiation of sophomores who meet the re­ quirements in the last grading period of the year.

At the Northeast Missouri State College contest, the Eagle was named best printed entry and five individuals won top ratings. Brian Greiner, Miller, Hannemann and Covyeau won No. 1 ratings for stories submitted in the off-campus judging and Edmonston won a no. 2 for his on campus entry.

In the MIPA contest. Miller won a first place for his news story; Edmonston won a second place for his column, and Chris Greiner won a third place for his photography.

All were given certificates by Capt. E. L. Gilmore, adviser, at the publications dinner.

Dramateers Staged Three Nights of Plays Missouri Military Academy's Dramateers put on one full-length drama and one-act plays during the season.

The club sponsored by Major Courtney Durham opened with "Take Me To Your President," a farce involving rockets, Indians and interna­ tional politics. John Carter had the lead role.

In late February, the Dramateers performed three one-act plays— "City Sketches," "The Window," and "Moonshine." Frank Kindred assisted with the stage direction.

The final three one-act plays were "Kindred Souls," "Ah, Men," and "The Rising of the Moon." Most were comedies but some carried deeper meaning.

Besides Carter, David Heuser, Jeff Moddrell and Pat Walter could frequently be found in lead roles.

Fred Gervase aided by Tracy Nies did much of the backstage light­ ing work.

Vespers Readers ..

Directed and trained by Capt. Fred Mauk, the cadet readers at Vespers each Sunday night at the Academy were a select group.

One could become a member only after a tryout to check the quality of the candidate's reading voice.

The Vespers Readers were then assigned dates when it would be their turn to participate in the services.

While open to any cadet, the selection of readers for Evensong

services found Vespers Readers in both positions. Those selected for this highlight service just before Christmas furlough were Bill Gant and Jack Hannemann.

Other Vesper Readers were Jim Graves, Mike Dickey, Jim Cusack, Rick Frahm, Mike Curry, Robert Beare, Frank Kindred, Bill Enright, Greg Davis, Carl Barbee and Tim Thompson.

Whenever a film is shown at Missouri Military Academy, the members of the Film Club almost always are the ones operating the projector.

This group, directed by Major Courtney Durham, had the responsibility of showing films Saturday nights to the Cadet Corps but also were on call for film showing any time an in­ structor might want to show one during class.

New members were given a period of training in all audio­ visual equipment before being permitted to operate the units at class sessions.

Members of the Mystical Singers appeared twice on television.

Choral Groups on TV Members of M.M.A.'s choral groups were again active during the year, under the direction of Capt. Fred Mauk. Highlight perform­ ances came during the Christmas period when they not only sang at the traditional Evensong, but at Mexico churches as well.

A special group within the Glee Club was the Mystical Singers.

This group sang at Kansas City, where the performance was later re-broadcast over television, and at Columbia on KOMU—TV where the performance was broadcast live.

During the spring, the choral groups sang at the spring concert and the Mother's Day concert.

The spring highlight came, however, when the Glee Club won a first place rating at the district contest in Mexico High. At the same contest, the double quartet also won a first place. The double quartet then advanced to the state where it won a first place, too.

The Glee Club did not go to state because that contest makes no provision for large groups.

Dad’s Day Ball . . .

Fall Social Highlight The Dad's Day Ball was the social highlight of the fall season. It opened with a reception line, was followed by the grand march, and concluded with ballroom dancing. As usual, cadets also enjoyed the rock session during intermission when a cadet band played.

For many cadets new to the Academy, it was a first time participa­ tion in formal dancing.

Most of the dates were from Mexico, but many came from the cadets' home towns.

Parents, too, taking part in the Dad's Day weekend, made up a large portion of the couples attending.

Betsy was selected by a vote of the sponsoring Junior Class officers.

The crowning of the queen marked the climax of the evening which began with the traditional receiving line followed by the Grand March.

During intermission, cadets danced to the music of Bill Yates at the organ, Kevin Gordon at the drums, and Rich Beinke doing the vocals.

Decorations for the ball, put up by the maintenance crew and members of the Junior Class, followed a red and white valentine motif.

On hand for the festivities were many out-of-town dates, parents and friends.

Named to Miss Jackson's court were Kathy Abelen, San Antonio, Tex.; Julia Palms, Grosse Pointe, Mich.; Beverly Strain, Florissant, Mo., and Karen Toland, Columbia, Mo.

Commencement Bal* Last Social Event The social season ended at the Academy on May 29 at the traditional commencement ball in the gymnasium. Dancing began at about 9 p.m. following the grand march. At 11 p.m. the band played the traditional "Good Night Sweetheart" and cadets escorted their dates homeward.

As is customary, many parents at the Academy for graduation weekend activities also attended the Commencement Ball.

For one person — Lt. Col. G. David Bailey the ball represented another point in his long career. It would be his last as the M.M.A. Junior School commandant. Dancing long had been one of his more spectacular pastimes and he frequently danced the Charleston to the delight of the young cadets and their dates.

The long line of cadet officers and dates lead the grand march----- their last as cadets.

MAJOR ROBERT PIPER BS., University of Missouri; M.A., University of Missouri; Park College; University of Kansas City.

Colonel Bailey Retires

from Junior School The M.M.A. Junior School underwent a major change at the end of the school year. The classes in the 1970-71 years were the last for Lt. Col. G. David Bailey, who had been connected with the Junior School for 36 years.

Colonel Bailey retired at the end of the year, and moved to Spring­ field, Mo. He had been teacher, counselor and coach in the Junior School since 1935. Over those years, plus some at Illinois Military School before coming to M.M.A., he figured he counseled more than 3,500 boys.

For the upcoming year, the Junior School made a change in adminis­ trative set-up. Major Derrill Kuhlman, himself a veteran of 25 years on the staff, became head of the Junior School with the title of “head­ master.'' Major Robert Piper became commandant of cadets.

Major Kuhlman was honored at a review for his long years of service, along with Major and Mrs. Richardson, both teachers in the Junior School for 20 years.

M.M.A.'s other Junior School staff members were Lt. James Garrett, who finished his second year and will be a captain next year, and Lt. Roger Hebbert, the only newcomer to the faculty.

Bravo Leaders Build Fine Unit As a military unit, the M.M.A. Junior School faced some major problems at the beginning of the year. It had a large recruit enroll­ ment, and all those newcomers had to be trained. But under the direction of Major Robert Piper, the cadet leaders got the job done, and before the year was over, Bravo Company won the honor flag at reviews many times.

One time the unit won the flag with a special goal in mind. That

came at the Sunday review honoring Lt. Col. G. David Bailey, re­ tiring commandant of cadets. As the company passed by the reviewing stand, there was special pride in Colonel Bailey's face as he saw them carrying the honor flag.

Richard Lynch III was the company's highest ranking officer.

Thomas Moulder and Mike Hagensieker also made the officer ranks.

Lions Won Basketball Title During the winter months Junior Schoolers participated in basketball, swimming and wrestling. In basketball, the Eagles and Lions continued their battle for athletic supremacy with the Lions winning. The title was determined by the number of victories the Lions scored over the Eagles in both the sixth-seventh grade team games and the eighth grade team games.

Lt. James Garrett coached with winning Lions; Lt. Roger

Hebbert had the Eagles.

The swimmers and the wrestlers competed in individual tourna­ ments and meets to determine championships.

At the midwinter sports dinner, Tom Gray, Gayle Holsman, Robert Ploen and Mike McGrew joined Richard Lynch as the win­ ners of three varsity letters in three sports.

Lions Snap Eagle String

-V- . ’ L'.;—-«

The Junior School Lions won their first football champion­ ship in five years by taking the first three games from the Eagles in the five-game series.

The fourth game ended in a scoreless tie and the Lions came back to win the fifth game.

Lt. James Garrett coached the Lions; Lt. Roger Hebbert directed the Eagles.

The Eagle offensive unit lost most of its scoring punch when Richard Lynch was hurt early in the season.

The season started October 15 when the Lions won 12-0.

In the second game the Lions won 14-6. The Eagles proved tougher as the season progressed, and the Lions won No. 3 just 8-6. In the fourth game, neither team could score and the two battled to a 0-0 tie.

At the football award dinner, 14 players on each team were presented letters. Another 24 players received certificates as school team members.

Turner Paced His Class Academically The graduates of M.M.A.'s eighth grade enjoyed a successful year.

Many of the eighth grade recruits who came to the Academy at the onset of the year rose in ranks.

Kenneth Turner was valedictorian, being undisputably the best scholar in the class and was initiated into Delta Phi, the Academy's scholastic honorary society.

Richard Lynch led the Junior School in athletics.

The Junior School faculty considered the class one of the better ones and believed it will make a fine group for the high school next year.

Kenneth Turner, valedictorian, receives his diploma from Col. Charles Stribling III.

Some Fine Leaders It would appear from the looks of the seventh grade that Bravo Company should have some fine leaders for the 1971-72 school year. With the addition of the fifth and fourth grade, this group of seventh graders will have some different problems of leadership in the year ahead.

Mark Foster again led his class academically. Ron Caputa topped his class in athletics, as he did the year before in the sixth grade.

All of the sixth graders were recruits at the beginning of the year

and all rose to private. Many advanced to private first class.

Mrs. Darius Richardson again was house mother and taught most of the sixth grade classes.

Several of the sixth graders were fine athletes who received certificates and some letters for participation in various sports.

Officers gather to shake hands at the Au revoir ceremony.

At the sound of Taps, the flag comes down at the school year end.

The Year Ends...

No ceremony has more meaning to an M.M.A. cadet than the Au Revoir ceremony on the front campus marking the end of the school year.

While the band plays "Auld Lang Syne," cadet officers meet in the center of the square for a round of handshakes. Then they re­ turn and all cadets say goodbye with handshades and some tears.

For some, like Rick Heriford, it was the end of seven years as an M.M.A. cadet; for others, it was just the end of their first year.

The cadets say it is leaving their friends that hurts the most.

Some they will never see again. But leaving the school, its physical features, its traditions, its staff and all those things that go toward making up the school hurts, too.

Essentially, the editors of Taps have tried to make this a mem­ ory book. And like the Au Revoir ceremony itself, it is hoped the book will evoke pleasant memories of a time, a place, and some relationships of the year of 1971-72—a school year at M.M.A.
