3 esterday . . . we marched over the same hills but now they're smoother. We studied the same things but now they're history. We achieved comparable excellence, we call it greatness. We entered young and unsure but now we're strong. We strove for the same ideals that never change.

Yesterday is behind us, we remember what we have done. Perhaps we recall admissions, our roommate, or the day we met our president - the first time we wore our uniform, Dad's weekend, or the ball.

We remember our first review, the last inspection and the time we got promoted.

These are the pages on which yesterday will be remembered. Sports teams, activities, and good friends are all included. It is what we've accomplished that makes us different ... so we look on the pages ahead and learn from the past.

Tomorrow ... is before us. All that we have learned will lead us on. Future glories can be achieved only because of the sacrifices that we must make. Exciting times wait to greet us. Maybe it's college that we prepare for or a return to school next fall.

Perhaps it's home that we've been missing or a summer job that will bring us 'wealth'. Even if your future is unclear there is still peace in the air and hope on the horizon.

We hope that what we've learned will bring us success and that what we have achieved will bring us greatness. We look to the things that come with confidence and pride and we remember what we've done in eager anticipation of tomorrow.

Today . . . the present is before us. It's here to make us work. We combine what we've learned to achieve what we want and we're guided by what we believe. "Never again will all those assembled now, be assembled again" so take hold of the present and make it your own. All that is left is today.

Friends: Close quarters provide many opportunities to make friends and Stephan Dupont, Chris Bruce, and Mauricio Molina prove that

they also come in all sizes. Molina was the tallest cadet and Bruce, one of the shortest.

egistration, whether the first time through .or, for the Class of 1990, the last, marks an im­ portant moment in a young man's academic career.

For some it is a first time exerience and for others a re-initiation. Regardless, it marks their own personal commitment for excel­ lence. September 5-7 saw 312 students comprise the 1989-90 MMA Corps of Ca­ dets.

ence assured each one that this was to be a positive ex­ perience.

After having been intro­ duced to his personal care­ taker, each boy was escorted by a guide who led the newcommer through the laby­ rinth of registration. This friendly young man often imparted sage wisdom re­ garding his own experiences as a New Boy. The first of many stops began in the business office where parents met with Mrs. Kathy Brooks, bookkeeper; Mrs. Brenda Rodenbaugh, office manager; Mrs. Pat Schindler, secretary of de­ velopment and publicity; and Mrs. Kathy Diederich, admissions secretary.

Once the necessary pa-

Depending on the cadet's academic standing, he was introduced to the important figures in either the Junior School or upper school.

Maj. Robert Samples, '55, commandant of cadets, and his assistants, Capt. Mark Vaughan and Capt. John Miller, '68, are responsible for maintaining order among the upper school cadets. Lt. Col. Robert Piper, '47 han­ dles the Junior School.

These men issued copies of the Cadet Handbook, the bible of each boy. This book discloses the rules, regula-

tions, and policies of the Academy.

Each family had the op­ portunity to meet with their respective academic depart­ ments. Lt. Col. Frank Mer­ edith, upper school aca­ demic dean, met with in­ coming freshmen, sopho­ mores, juniors, and seniors; while Maj. Sam Saxon, Junior School principal, took care of those in grades 4-8. adets wrapped up their busy day in the midst of a whirlwind of activity taking place in the QM, barbershop and Cadet Hospital.

Armed with bins, some­ times seemingly as large as the boy himself, faculty vol-

unteers piled in necessary items such as blankets and sweats before being fitted for his first uniform by Capt.

Harry Flynn, quartermaster.

For some, the thought of visiting Mr. Don Dick's Bar­ bershop conjures up images of a firing squad. Many gri­ mace as he clips away care­ fully cultivated locks. This event had special appeal for the Columbia-based KOMU television crew filming regis­ tration activities.

head nurse, greeted each family as they toured the medical facility. Assisted by Mrs. Martha Hill, the two even found time to give a quick examination to Rev. Jerry Trump, '67, as his son Evan's, records were re­ viewed.

Rounding out the regis­ tration process were the ini­ tial military drill sessions and assemblies. These allowed cadets time to become ac­ quainted with each other and members of the faculty.

After parents and their sons made their goodbyes, each cadet began to reflect on what was to come - to anticipate this new phase of their lives.

Cadets and their parents had the opportu­ nity to participate in the many activities offered during the 42nd annual Dad's Weekend, October 13-15.

Saturday morning found a flurry of activi­ ties as parents were encouraged to meet with their sons' instructors to individually discuss each boy's academic progress.

It was an opportunity for parents and sons to spend time together — many seeing each other for the first time since the advent of the school year.

The cadets' fathers fell into formation as they participated in the traditional Dad's Day review followed by ROTC and junior School Competitive Drills.

Those attending had a variety of sporting events from which to choose. Varsity soc­ cer, cross country, football and company football contests spread over the course of two days. The football rivalry between the Junior School Eagles and Lions kicked off the weekend with the former attempting to retain their previous year's hold but to no avail as the Lions were victorious, 42-6.

Old and new cadets from both schools competed for best-drilled honors. In the upper school it was Brent Atwood and Mike Girardeau and for the Junior School Agustin Patino, Jason Young and Bobby Hundley walked away with top honors.

The gridiron contests continued with the Company Football game between the Charlie Red Raiders and the Delta Blue Devils, while the Varsity cross country team hit the trail against Wentworth Mili­ tary and the defending State Military soc­ cer team faced WMA on Colonels' back campus.

Meeting Miss America When Debbye Turner first stepped onto the campus of Missouri Military Academy, it was as a contestant in the Miss Missouri Pageant.

p A 12 G E

Four short months later Turner returned as the newly crowned Miss America. Her return for ''Homecoming'' activities was highlighted by two seperate visits to the Academy and its cadet corps.

Miss Turner's arrival was her first visit back to Mexico since the Missouri pageant in June.

Her arrival in a white stretch limousine at the Audrain County Historical Museum was greeted by local media and supporters.

Miss Turner's visit was as short as her travels are long, but her presence on campus was not forgotten by the corps.

Her Miss Missouri successor, Pat Meusburger, accompanied Turner and was officially crowned at the conference.

Miss Turner's return to MMA's campus was kicked off on Oc­ tober 26th with a scheduled assembly.

Class searches for 'just the facts' Twelve members of the journalism class experienced reporting first hand when Debbye Turner, Miss America, became the focus of attention at an informal press conference at the Audrain County Historical Society, October 26.

"It was very exciting to experience first­ hand many of the things we have been studying as a class," said Eldon Floyd.

"It was as if 1 was a professional re­ porter."

To prepare for their assignment, indepth profiles of Turner were issued prior to the conference. Armed with this infor­ mation, cadets prepared relevant ques­ tions that enabled them to participate.

"For many of my students, this was the chance of a lifetime," said Lt. Richard Orr, advisor. "They were permitted work with and observe professional journalists and to participate in the press conference as peers.

The exercise was designed to simulate

what is routine to the professional jour­ nalist. They were graded not only on content, but also how quickly and accu­ rately they met their deadline."

Cadets were pitted against reporters as well as television personalities from Co­ lumbia, St. Louis and Kansas City.

"It was a real honor to be there" indi­ cated LaWayne Taylor, equipped with a portable recorder. "I will keep this tape for the rest of my life."

It was very exciting to experience first-hand many of the things we have been studying ... it was as if i was a professional reporter.

Following the conference, Eagle editor, Brian Baum was invited to interview Miss Turner in a private session. "It was a tremendous opportunity," said Baum.

"She is not only attractive, but very intelligent. I now realize that there is a lot that goes into becoming a pagent winner."

Throughout our lives, we cling to memories which provide warm visions of happier, more secure times. Lessons learned become foundations for build­ ing futures.

As much as we try to protect some things from changing, graduates returning to campus find that even at MMA, past experiences are not always as remembered and visions which are clear in our minds some­ times do not live up to our expectations.

Although class mates don't look the same and the names and faces of the faculty are different, constant are the places where these memories were formulated, yet even they are not infallible.

"THIRTY-ONE CADETS PARTICIPATED in the second phase of the 1990 Educational Tour program, visiting Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Mt. Vernon on the American Heritage Tour, February 15-18.

In A Word: Jose Martinez and Diego Elguezabal stopped to read some of the names memorialized on the Vietnam War Memorial.

After their flight from St. Louis, the cadets' first stop was Benjamin Franklin's grave, located just outside their second destination, the U.S. Mint. During the tour, cadets witnessed the production of coins, service medals, and postage stamps.

Nearby was the Betsy Ross House, where they were informed that she secretly made the first U.S. flag with no bill of sale.

Continuing their whirlwind tour of the City of Brotherly Love, the group found themselves at Independence Hall, where the first Continental Congress met from 1 790-1800 and signed the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

That evening the group, accompanied by chaperones Maj. Roger Hill and Capt.

Kevin Shaddox, boarded buses bound for Washington, D.C.

Getting an early start, cadets viewed the Vietnam Memorial prior to their appointment to tour the White House.

Before breaking for lunch, the travelers visited the U.S. Capitol, where they had a guided tour of the House and Senate Chambers.

That afternoon, tours of the Bureau of Engraving and the Library of Congress were made available vefore the heading on to Arlington National Cemetery.

Following were visits to the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorial.

The academic curricula met with some changes as well, with the creation of a new course in math. The statistics course was a single semester class on probablity, created by Capt. Joe Ableman.lt gained fame for studies on color ra­ tions in M&M candies.

The announcement of new fac­ ulty created an additional change to the academic pro­ gram. Lt. Blake Hoel, Junior School English; Lt. Tim Lafferty, junior English; Lt. Col. Henry Matlosz, history,; Lt. Richard Orr, director of public informa­ tion and journalism instructor; and Maj. Dana Reynard, band master and company advisor were among the major appoint­ ments announced this past June.

Additional educational trips to various places of interest filled the academic calendar as well.

Maj. Sam Mounger's Senior AP English class took a trip to St. Louis to view a Shakespearean comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor Texas.

Fifteen members of Maj Paul Baum's Spanish class enjoyed the performance Compania Folkiorica Latino designed to give cadets a better under­ standing of Spanish-American culture. Capt. Walter Diehl's psychology classes spent a day at Fulton State Mental Hospital in Fulton Missouri observing mental disorders and their practical applications. Lt. Richard Orr's journalism class observed a genuine news con­ ference when they attended Miss America Debbye Turner's crowning of the new Miss Mis­ souri.

Numerous other trips includi biology and drama trips w< also held and made for an i tive and expanding acaden year.

The reinstatement of edu< tional tours marked the fi time since 1987 that the Ac; emy has taken these trips.

"We want our cadets to ha the opportunity to experier areas of historical and cultu significance," said Maj Roi Hill, admissions director.

II about art It was a very active year for members of Mrs. Becky Erdei's art classes as they presented several shows, participated in an international exchange program and took field trips.

Members of the fifth and sixth hour classes and a group from the Junior School busied themselves year long in preparation of their two major shows - the Kathryn Epple Art Show and the Festival of the Arts.

"I never realized that it (art) could be so intense . . . it really made me think."

- John Glezen

P A >2 G E

The team of Stephan Dupont, Ignaciao Ruiz-Esparza, Jose Jayme, Alejandro Elizondo, Ricky Uriegas and Scott Rawlings received great recognition for their composite portrait of pop artist Andy Worhol during the Epple show.

Featuring their talents in a wide variety of areas, Jamil Ahmed, Hugo Garcia, Oscar Durazo, Eldon Floyd, Jose Elizondo, Jose Carlos Villarreal, Juan Cardenas and Matt Bowersox received first place ratings for their work in ce­ ramics, computer graphics, photogra­ phy and pastels, to name a few.

In contrast to the first show, the cadets displayed the depth of their talents with pastel portraits and shopping bag design at the Festival of the Arts (see pages 32-33).

For Art's Sake: Mrs. Becky Erdei points out to Sc Miller the various features of ceramic works displayed the Epple Art Exhibit.

Among their many other activities, the art classes joined the humanities class as they traveled to the St. Louis Museum of Art. "I enjoyed seeing the various works of art," said John Glezen. "I never realized that it could be so intense. It really made me think."

Also, these students attended an art exhibit at the Mexico-Audrain County Library where the work of MMA alumnus Robert MacDonald Graham, Jr., '32 was on dispaly.

Under the direction of Maj. Dana Reynard, the marching band, jazz band and drum and bugle corps achieved many accom­ plishments for the 1989-90 school year.

To begin with, the MMA marching band traveled to Hannibal, Mo. to participate in the 41st Annual Mark Twain Marching Festival on October 10. They were then invited to join several Missouri high school bands to participate in a mass band and field show that evening. The combined groups performed several familiar tunes that included "Pee Wee Herman Theme", "Don't Be Cruel", and "Fun, Fun, Fun".

"The traditional caroling done before Christmas really puts you in the spirit."

- Daniel Jung

Breaking from the routine and getting prepared for the annual Evensong, the band accompanied the Glee Club on a trip to Union Station in St. Louis, December 9, where they performed such Christ­ mas songs as "O Come All Ye Faithful," "The First Noel", and "What Child Is This".

Extensive preparation began as Evensong started to get under way. Brass and woodwind ensembles served as a prelude to this year's service. Before Christmas furlough, a brass ensemble met nightly on Stribling Hall steps to play Christmas carols for the cadets.

"The traditional caroling done before Christmas really gets you in the Christmas spirit," said Daniel Jung,, who accompanied the band on bells.

Wailin': Nothing catches a music lover ear like the sounds from a saxophone an JC Hardaway made sure his audterx wasn't disappointed.

Along with the Glee Club, the Jazz Ensemble presented their annual Pops Concert March 15th.

The 23 piece ensemble, under the direction of Maj. Reynard, performed eight selections covering a wide range of musical styles, including contemporary and traditional jazz and swing.

The Jazz Ensemble completed their season, accompanying the Fusileers at Westminster College, May 1st where they per­ formed for a dinner for the Westminster and William Woods Board of Associates.

A new look for At Ease

This year, At-Ease, the school's literary and art magazine, took a different approach using a cover design created by Cadet Justin Mulford, marking the first time in MMA's history a Junior Schooler's art work has ever been used.

Mrs. Becky Erdei, art teacher and president of the Fine Arts Committee said, "We opted for a very contemporary approach with neon green and blue paper. The art work will fit the literary work more so than in the past."

The literary section includes an eclectic composite of literature from all cadets. According to Lt. Tim Lafferty, literary adviser, "huge amounts of original work was submitted, but only 10%-l 5% accepted".

The completed publication is comprised of approximately 50 pages of literature and art.

n with the show "We started off Angry, went Thataway to laugh, and finished with a Failure' said Lt. Greg Pauley .. describing the Dramateer's season.

Contrary to how this might sound, the theatre troupe put forth a great deal of time and energy to present three very entertaining and distinct productions. 72 Angry Men kicked off the Drama Department's year on December 6, focusing on 12 jurors debating over the fate of an accused murderer.

"We started off Angry, went Thataway to laugh, and finished with a Failure” - Lt. Greg Pauley

Eirik Price portrayed the protagonist wanting a fair trial and for justice to prevail while Frank Overfield was the stub­ born, indifferent juror who put the clinks in the process.

The group devised a simplistic, yet intriguing means of staging. Focusing on the use of black and white, sym­ bolic images were flashed on the wall behind the action.

The February 24 production of Thataway Jack was considered by many cadets to be the best drama production in recent years.

The story revolved around the char­ acter Peveral Sommerset Bidding­ well, played by Jeremy Gunter, who heads West in search of the perfect fiancee. Dan Ward portrayed the legendary western outlaw Derby Dan Turney, who was sought by many. Other notables included Ra­ mon Rubio, Overfield, and Shawn Conine.

P A 58 G E

The comical elements were based on the mistaken identity of who was Derby Dan Turney, and who was not.

i

Who's There?: Derbie Dan Turney (Dan Ward) makes his point in "Thataway Jack."

The season finale was present­ ed during the Festival of the Arts. The Drama segment in­ cluded the reader's theatre, A Failure to Zig Zag, which starred Price as the naval commander of the USS Indiana, who was on trial for failing to avoid collision. Amidst the moral issue of the atomic bomb, the unjust court martial included Josh Sussman, Aaron Wallace, and Ward.

Again, the lack of props only aided in the intended dramatic effect.

Actors were identically dressed and placed on risers. A solid white backdrop provided a suitable surface for images of the actual event to be shown.

For the first time in many years, the State Military Drill Meet was conducted by one3 of the participating schools and for the meet MMA served as hosts.

Competing in three categories, the Fusileers entered the competition floor with the skill and confidence that only comes from hours of dedicated practice and left the i drill area with the Sweepstakes trophy. ; With 600 points possible, the platoon scored a combined total of 490.

"If there was an Olympic event for drill competition, the Fusileers would be of gold medal caliber."

"To see other schools and, in comparison, how superior we are made me proud to be a part of the team," said Oscar Durazo.

The participating teams competed in Platoon Infantry Drill Regulation, Color Guard, and Platoon Exhibition, while several competitiors displayed their expertise in the Individual Drilldown.

Brigadiers have what it takes

P A 62 G E

For two months prior to their debut, a select group of Junior School cadets donated much of their personal time striving for perfection.

With hard practices and a lot of determination, the Brigadiers Drill Team set high goals for themselves in order to become the 'best team ever'.

"I think the year was extremely suc­ cessful and I hope that next year's team is even better," Co-commander Armando Galvez said.

The 18-member group, under the direction of Capt. Jon Eastman and cadets Ernesto Cardenas and Galvez, gave their initial performance for the residents of the Missouri Veterans' Home in early February.

Serving as a trial run for the platoon's main performance at Missouri Uni­ versity, the team received a positive response from their audience.

The season's highlight came when the squad stepped off during halftime of the Missouri-Kansas women's bas­ ketball game in early March.

Capt. Eastman commented that this year's auditions were extremely competitive and the decisions on the final cuts were difficult. "The squad this year was a relatively new group with only five returning members and 13 new cadets."

The Brigadiers gave their final perfor­ mance during Mother's Weekend.

inging is many things to many people. It is "speaking to your­ selves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord," says the Bible.

f -

It is "singing the American popular song," according to Neil Diamond. To the glee club it is both . . . and more.

One must be able to read music, to match pitch and to harmonize - all three are taught and practiced by the glee club daily.

The highlight of their season came on March 28. It was only for a fleeting moment, but created a memory to last a lifetime. As the crescendos subsided, voices from the mezzanine joined in song.

Our Song: Upper school glee dub members Bruin Wolf, Kenny Lemmond, and Will Andrews follow Mrs. Ruth Nation’s direction during their Festival of the Arts performance.

During the Kansas City Sym­ phony concert, the 21member glee club was in­ vited to vocally accompany the group with ten bars of (Restless Drams Before) The Big Night.

Each Sunday these vocalists perform for the corps at Sun-

day Vespers and at Christ­ mas they give their most prestigious performance of the year, Evensong.

This year the glee club, ac­ companied by the jazz en­ semble, traveled to St. Louis for a performance at St. Louis Union Station. This 30 minute set served as a pre­ lude to their Evensong per­ formance.

A mixture of popular and traditional music was on the program for both the Pops Concert and the Festival of the Arts. In addition, this group was found serenading local church groups, Mex­ ico's Pin Oaks nursing home, and Northeast Dis­ trict Teachers Association..

"My goals were to teach the fundamentals of music and to have fun," say Mrs. Ruth Nation, director. "I believe I have accomplished these." p A 63 G E

M ’ 'Our [Delta Phi] involvement is not only beneficial to the community, but it is a positive experience for the cadets."

- Jeremiah Jahn, '92

P A 64 G E

With a peak membership of 23, cadets of the Delta Phi Honor Society did much more than rack up honor points.

Cadets welcomed Delta Phis in both the barracks and academic building during nightly study halls where they performed minor miracles with math problems and de­ mystified foreign concepts for the less academically inclined.

There was always a member on duty during guided study hall to lend a helping hand.

In order to strengthen their commitment to community service, the Honor Society began participating in Missouri's Adopt-A-Highway program. Starting last fall, members policed a 2.2 mile stretch of road just outside of town four times throughout the year.

r:

The Society also sponsored a variety of dramatic and educational productions, such as the Raptor Rehabilitation and Propagation Project (RRPP) and the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis' presentation "The Scene of the Crime."

In exchange for all these duties, Delta Phi members received a variety of privileges, such as being absent from the 2130 formation, and not having to study from 1900 to 2100. They also went on a members-only trip to dinner and a Harry Blackstone magic show April 28.

Throughout the year, the Council achieved positive results in several aspects of cadet life. Most notably, through cadet legislation, an additional mailbox was placed by the OD office, new video games were secured for the Canteen, and Sunday Catholic formation was eliminated for the Junior School.

ur winning ways

Probably the most difficult organization on campus to be initiated into is M-Club, as cadets must excel in athletics earning more than one varsity letter in order to be considered.

"It is a unique opportunity to be able to provide something to the community and get something in return."

- Steve Berry

This stringent criteria keeps members well-rounded and marks an impressive accomplishment because rarely does an individual earn a full letter in his first season.

Working hard in athletics to become a member does have its privileges. Members receive one permit a month and are given the opportunity to attend numerous sporting events and outings.

This year the M-Club went to a Cardinals baseball game in addition to a canoe trip.

The lettermen also provided a number of services for the corps and the community. They ran the concession stand at basketball games, sold pencils in the library, and aided the community by giving food to needy families during Christmas.

Under the direction of Lt. Richard Orr, each member of this select group was given the opportunity to try his hand at writing, photography, and on-air broadcasting.

"The best way to learn is through real-life situations," said Lt. Orr. "For instance, the Miss America press conferences not only permitted the class to observe their peers, but to actively participate."

The MMA Eagle and its staff, led

by Brian Baum, editor-in chief, and Chris Durand, managing editor, were recognized for their journalistic talents by both the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association (MIPA) and the Northwest Missouri State University High School Academic Festival.

The Eagle received an All­ Missouri rating from MIPA, 40 points shy of a perfect score.

Details: Jon Baker reveals the details of his summe. sojourn to the Soviet Union to reporter Steve Bern Berry received state-wide acclaim for his feature or cadets visiting the USSR.

Jeff Price and Baum represented the department at the Academic Festival, participating in an on-site reporting assignment. Both received a second place rating.

Submitted prior to the festival, several writing samples were subjected to extensive evaluations. All earned first or second - Ryan Guilds, first place news article; Anthony Piacente, second place news article; Steve Berry, first place feature article; and Baum, second place feature article.

Judged separately, the Eagle was one of only three competing publications to receive a first place overall rating at the festival.

"I was happy with the results from both MIPA and the Academic Festival," remarked Baum. "There were a lot of favorable comments made, but what I liked was the constructive criticism on how we could better ourselves."

Those on the Taps yearbook staff submerged themselves in the yearlong task of publishing this comprehensive history of 1989-90.

With the assistance of Price, assistant editor, Berry, editor, kept a tight reign on his wards so as to produce a quality book.

Attention, Please!: Jeff Price, bat­ talion announcer, narrated the Fusileer drill team performance at halftime of the Missouri vs. Kansas basketball game, January 20, at Hearnes Center, Columbia.

Aside from the yearbook and newspaper, cadets also participated in many other activities both on and off campus which related to the journalistic arts. Price served dutifully as battalion announcer for all corps functions in addition to accompanying the Fusileers and Brigadiers on their Mizzou performances. Gustavo Soto announced lineups for home wrestling matches and basketball games and cadets ventured into the world of photography.

Fifteen Junior Schoolers also played a vital role in the success of this year's operation. Under the advisement of Lt. Blake Hoel, they actively contributed to the Eagle.

In addition, this group also began publishing their own newsletter, The Voice.

"For many this was their first exposure to the media," said Lt. Hoel. "It was exciting to see my students so eager to learn."

Colonels strive for excellence

P A 72 C E

The Colonels went up against several top notch soccer programs, but held their own against Columbia Hickman during two meet­ ings.

The team broke in two goal­ ies this year who, according to Capt. Twells, continually turned in creditable perfor­ mances. "Both Jason Gor­ don and David Grelle were tremendous assets to this year's team."

Highlighting their season was their final home appear­ ance against 4A District con­ tender Jefferson City. MMA held their own against the Falcons and walked away with a 2-1 victory.

came to a head following a series of tug-o-war plays when Alejandro Ayala sent in the second goal. This sent the crowd to their feet, the bench onto the field and a yellow card on Coach Twells for allowing his team to interrupt the game.

They had a great soccer tra­ dition to uphold. With coaches Capt. Richard Twells and Lt. Jeff Minasian giving advice and direction, the 1989 Colonels soccer team was optimistic about their chances for the District Championship.

The team returned to the competition field with a strong defensive advantage and several veteran players while team captains Juan Dibildox and Humberto Reynoso provided the nec­ essary leadership skills to turn in a respectable 9-4 sea­ son.

"It was a great victory for us," Capt. Twells said. "It indicated that we can truly play with the best."

Colonels drop second round of District ploy to St. Dominic - A wards For the second consecu­ tive year the Soccer Colo­ nels were eliminated dur­ ing the second round of District play as St. Dominic shut out MMA, 4-0, ending the team's quest for the District title and bringing their season to a close.

MMA was pitted against the opponent's strong de­ fensive team during the first half, and allowed St. Dominic to score three of their four goals.

In their attempt to slow down the opposition, the Colonels' defense held the scoring to one during the second half.

After defeating Lutheran in the first round of competi­ tion, MMA found them­ selves up against a more aggressive team that was larger in size with excellent ball-handling skills. The Colonels were not even given the opportunity for a single shot-on-goal during the first half.

"This year's St. Dominic team was near-collegiate caliber and a legitimate state contender," said Capt. Richard Twells, head coach. "One of our strong suits is our ability to handle the ball and this time we could not hang onto it."

Picking up offensive points, the Colonel's effort in the last quarter were outstand­ ing but the Colonel's were defeated despite Wood's 19 points.

With eight returning lettermen, David Cain, Jason Polliard, Greg Center, TK Stohlman, Mike Girardeau, Jeff Price, Erik Thompson, and Ian Wolfe, the Colonel's had planned their season's strategies around the veter­ ans to carry the load.

Team captains Girardeau and Stohlman were ex­ pected to provide outside scoring while Polliard, Jeff Moe and newcomers Chris Wood and Blake Spears were to provide the inside baskets.

The Colonels struggled as they battled Kemper Yellowjackets and after trail­ ing by a 31-8 margin at the end of the first half, they had little hope. The Colonel's lost 50-22 at the hands of the Kemper guards who scored 40 of the 52 points.

Dawson made it through the first round with a pin against Dan Harmon of Carrollton but was stopped the follow­ ing round by an 8-5 decision in favor of Clinton's Jeff Hunter.

Fall: Jary Dawson made quick work of John Burroughs' Chris Bradburn.

Dawson eliminated his opponent with

a :24 pin in the second round of the 1A-2A District competition.

6-5-1 wrestlers boast a winning season When one thinks of wres­ tling, a distinct image comes to mind - the age old struggle of one man versus another, battling until one remains standing. The Colonels were living proof as three cadets worked their way to the the State Tournament.

The team led off their season with a win against Boonville by a 19 point margin. Team captain Brian Baum set the tone for the match with his

unlikely win by decision. It was a test of sheer skill, as the 5'6" Colonel over-pow­ ered his 6'1" opponent.

140 lb. District Champion Nicolas Issa was in rare form for State Military as he quickly defeated his man.

The Colonels made a clean sweep in the 112, 119, 130, 135, 145, and 152 lb. clas­ ses to beat Wentworth, 5424.

In wrestlebacks, Dawson decisioned Dan Harmon, 75. He was finally pinned in the next bracket, finishing the season with a 19-4 rec­ ord.

Marksmen shoot for future seasons Seeking revenge for their first loss of the season, the shooters returned the favor by beating Kemper 1886-1642 as MMA hosted the State Military meet.

Carlos Peugnet proved to be the high shooter of the match with his score of 884.

Overall, it was a year of transition. Following the undefeated 1989 team, the 1990 Colonels' 4-5 record indicated that they still had a long road ahead of them.

According to Lt. Col. Robert Weeks, head coach, the team did not have the expe­ rience and depth that it pre­ viously had, loosing four of its five varsity shooters. Jon

Baker, team captain, was the only returning letterman.

Baker was the consistent high shooter of the season and ended his season and high school career with a top score of 489 (600 possi­ ble). His personal record was 500.

"We shot as well as we could," Baker said. "The re­ mainder of the squad was comprised of all freshmen and sophomores."

"This was our building year," Lt. Col. Weeks said.

"If I can pick up one or two strong freshmen and sopho­ mores every year, it won't be long before we are back

p A 87 G E

on top."

In 1989, the marksmen con­ sistently averaged over 500 points per match. Regardless of this year's record, the team is pleased with their results and looks optimisti­ cally towards future seasons when they will have multiple 500 plus shooters.

At the Spring Sports Ban­ quet, Lt. Col. Weeks pre­ sented members of his team eight varsity and junior var­ sity letters while presenting Baker with the David Peak, '64 Trophy for Best Standing Average and Peugnet with the Col. Ardie McClure Tro­ phy for Most Improved.

Early in December, when the team took to the blocks for the first time, they came away with their first victory over Westminster Christian Academy, 102-62.

Consistent winners, the medley relay team of Stephan Dupont, Shelby Anderson, Mauricio Molina, and Jon Lesher went up against the clock to check in at 2:1 6.

Padilla lands top ten State finish, team places fifth at District

Jorge Padilla's 75 in 18 holes at the L.A. Nicholas Golf Course in Columbia was good enough to earn him a third place finish at the Dis­ trict championships and to launch the sophomore into the State Tournament, May 14-15.

Winning form: Wilfridana sinks putt while Will Andrews looks on.

Wilfrido Aldana was among four other team members to advance to District competi­ tion. Placing fifth at State in 1989, he turned in a score of 84, just shy of the cut-off mark.

Padilla, a first-year cadet, was the sole member of the 1990 team to advance.

P X 2

Aldana was followed by squad members Oscar Uribe, 85; Chandler Moore, 86; and Rafael Urdaneta, 87. The team ranked fifth of nine with a combined total of 330.

"I was very excited to go to state," he said. "I only wish I hadn't been the only team member going."

At State, Padilla's 83 for 18 holes failed to place him in medal contention, but still statisfied the young golfer.

"He was one of only three competitors to shoot a 36 on the front nine," said Maj. Ray Campbell, head coach.

"He did an outstanding job!"

Padilla will return to next year's squad, which antici­ pates the loss of only two members. Referring to the possibiltiy of making State in 1991, he indicated "My chances are 100%."

Winning Attitudes

Golfers down WMA for State Military With wins over State con­ tenders and a top finish at State Military, the golfers were in prime condition for the tournament series.

It was an easy win for the Colonels as they defeated Wentworth 328-432, during State Military, but what was more notable was their sound defeat of defending 2A champ, Louisiana.

Pilo Aldana, consistantly the top man throughout the sea­ son, ended this match two under par with a bogey and three birdies to aid in the

Bulldogs7 demise, 170-174.

"This was an important match for us," said Maj. Ray Campbell, head coach.

"Louisiana has been the de­ fending 2A state champs for the past three years were expected to be contenders again this year."

The Colonels handled local rival, Mexico High School, early in the season with a 1 78-240 victory. Here, Aldana once again led the pack, shooting 42 to be­ come the meet's number one player.

The previ­ ous year's squad held an undefeated record, defend, ing District Champion TK I Stohlman and Juan Dibildox returned as captains, and newcomers Rafael Beverito and Renato Rodriguez, her­ alded as Mexico's top junior Atheltes, joined the ranks.

Veterans Matt Crook and Jon Baker, strong doubles and singles players, were also on hand to provide the necessary depth.

Strong leadership on the part of the team captains, willing­ ness to put in extra practice time, and raw talent com­ bined to give the Colonels a 13-0 season.

During their initial meeting, Stohlman, Beverito, Juan Dibildox, Rodriguez, and Baker moved to a five match victory string that put the Crusaders out in short order.

Matt Crook joined his team­ mates in doubles, resulting in a 8-1 win. The team's

rematch yielded similar re­ sults.

Season was a wild and bumpy ride for Colonels' nine

It was a season with as many ups and downs as a wild roller coaster ride for the baseball Colonels, who fi­ nally ended their season with a 4-4 record, — includ­ ing a state military win.

A double by Morales, a single by Jason Polliard, and a double by Gabriel Velasco plated the winning tally.

The MMA nine impressed spectators with their 7-1 vic­ tory over Hibgee. Rodolfo Morales had an outstanding pitching game against the Tigers, tallying a three-hit and eight strike-out match. p A 96 G E

In a tough game at Madison, the team was stopped 13-3 as the Panthers rapped out 13 hits on their way to vic­ tory.

The squad's talent was best displayed in their 4-2 victory over rival Kemper for the state military title. David Cain, Mike Girardeau, and Gregg Center provided the fire power for the Colonels.

Morales held the Yellow­ jackets to three hits.

The season's highlight came with the Colonels' come­ back victory over Commu­ nity R-VI when they rolled in the final inning for an 8-7 victory.

Batter Up: David Cain steps up to the plate. Cain was named Best Base Runner for the 1990 season.

Colonels strike out in District attempt At District, the Marshall Owls scored six runs on three hits and two errors in the sixth for a 10-0 victory over MMA, winning the contest by the 10-run rule.

Accumulating four runs in the second and fourth inn­ ings, Marshall quickly set the tone for the remainder of the contest with an early 4-0

lead.

Mike Girardeau managed to snag two hits to lead off in the first and fourth innings, but was thrown out in a try for third during the first inn­ ing and was caught in a steal in the fourth.

Velasco hit a single, but was left on base at the end of the

fifth.

Maj. Ron Rosendahl, head coach, was optimistic re­ garding their overall perfor­ mance. "We did OK. We were able to break in some of our younger players," he said.

Minus star pitcher, Morales, who was out with an injury, the team had Velasco filling in for the first four innings and third baseman Chris Petersen took a shot at the mound with five assists, four putouts and an error.

Stark, Wolf rewrite MMA's track record book

redeem themselves by win­ ning the State Military title with a score of 101 points to Wentworth's 59 and Kemper's 15.

It was a season for shattering old records as Kyle Stark and Brian Wolf added their names to the track record

book.

Concluding their near-per­ fect season, the Colonels breezed past Montgomery City, 89-55, did equally well against Hallsville, 95-41, and wrapped it all up with their 91-40 victory at the Missouri School for the Deaf

While competing against Van-Far, Stark soared over the high jump bar with a jump of 6'3", beating the previous record by 3 inches.

Wolf broke the MMA record for the 200 meter dash, which was set last year by Gilberto Crombe, with a time of 23.6 seconds.

Breaking these records added to the many high­ lights of this year's 9-1 sea­ son.

Opening against Went­ worth, the Colonels easily defeated the Red Dragons 90-47 with Brian Wolf and team captains Chris Durand and Kyle Stark scoring the majority of points, a fre­ quent occurrence through­ out the season.

Following their meet against WMA, the Colonels left Van-Far in the dust with a score of 102-41.

Despite their earlier suc­ cesses against Wentworth and Van-Far the Colonels met their match when they went against Mexico High School. During the triad, MMA defeated Hallsville but were soundly beaten by the Bulldogs, the only team to do so.

Stopczy named National Merit Scholar Richard Stopczy was deemed a National Merit Scholarship recipient, it was an­ nounced during Commencement Exer­ cises.

Among an elite group representing less than half of one percent of all American high school seniors, he was the only honoree from a Midwest military school.

"I was genuinely surprised to have re­ ceived this honor," he said. "I met several past recipients when I visited the Air Force Academy and I feel privileged to be associ­ ated with them."

Just Rewards: Richard Stopczy is presented a certificate declaring him a National Merit Scholar

by Lt. Col. Frank Meredith, academic dean.

This year, only 6,100 scholarship recipi­ ents were selected by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) as Final­ ists.

A six year member of the corps, he utilized his experiences at the Academy throughout the competition. As part of the selection criteria, NMSC considers academic records, comparison test scores, and scholastic and extracurricu­ lar accomplishments.

"Sometimes you have to sacrifice things in order to achieve your goals," he said.

Stopczy was president of Delta Phi scholastic honorary, Cadet Council, sophomore class president, the golf, track and wrestling teams and cross country team captain.

Stopczy plans to attend the US Air Force Academy to study aeronautical engi­ neering.

Brothers

create a special legacy

By Brian Baum, '90

While at MMA, cadets realize a very spe­ cial relationship with each other — friend­ ships that can last a lifetime. Sometime they become so close that they feel as if they are part of each other's family; broth­ ers, if you will.

ut nothing can substitute the lasting r"bond between those who share a common parental legacy.

Scanning across this year's corps, one finds 14 pairs of brothers, sometimes standing withing the ranks, side by side. Others have had brothers who have come and gone before them and still more have countless other relatives who have shared the MMA experience.

Names & Faces

Ari G. Zieger To everyone I've met and known: There comes a point to move on in life and now's my time. Take care Matt, Woodstock, Scott P., Daryl, Rich, John and thanks to everyone who's been there, especially the nurses, Maj. Samples, Lt. Col. Weeks and everyone from the past - hasta la vista.

Take care Slim. Lt. Orr, college is a big step, thanks.

Good luck to all, especially to the Class of '90.

Here, brothers have generally bonded to­ gether more closely than in a different environment.

Sometimes the big brother can be here solely as a chaperone, as related by Daryl Hansen:

"I like having Hal here with me," said Jeff Price. "He is someone I can always go to whenever I am feeling down. I'll miss him after he graduates this year."

"I am glad I'm here to look after Hans. I am here to keep him out as much trouble as I can."

Speaking with those cadets with brothers currently in attendance, one finds a con­ sensus that all generally enjoy having the other nearby.

"It's neat having my brother, Armando, here," said Jose Profeta. "He can come to me whenever he needs help, even if he is in the Junior School."

Big brothers tend to watch out and protect their younger siblings, but some do not actually attend MMA at the same time, as is the case of Battalion Commander Eldon Floyd. His brother, Ellis, left the Academy in 1984, two years before his arrival.

"When Ellis went away from home, I decided I wanted to go, too," Floyd re­ called. In this instance, the influence of his older brother helped to establish an impor­ tant milestone in his academic career.

The younger sibling had only positive re­ marks for his brother's performance, say­ ing, "I love Daryl. He's my best friend and I value whatever he says."

Among the several cadets joining the corps after Christmas Furlough was Mike Beach's younger brother Matt. Beach realizes that it is his job to look out after his sibling.

nr 'm glad I am here to help (my brother I if he needs it and to encourage hirr A ... sometimes that kind ofadvice car come only from a family member."

— Mike Beach

At first, I didn't want Matt to come ere. I was afraid he would get a lot of ours and get into trouble with people it would be best if he were to stay lome," Beach said.

Brothers: Jose and Armando Profeta enjoyed competing against one another during Army Day.

'I am pleased to say he has done quite veil adjusting to Alpha and to life here t MMA. I'm glad I am here to help him f he needs it, encourage him and pass ny experiences on to him .. . someimes that kind of advice can come only rom a family member."

I" t is natural for two so close to be I competitive while establishing their Lown individual identity but when it omes down to the wire, these young nen are there for one another, both at chool and at home.

Because Sam is older, he has gone trough many of the things I am now xperiencing. I am able to learn from is past," said Dan Blair.

Family Ties: Mike Beach helps brother Matt adjust his necktie before stepping out for review. The Beach brothers were one of 14 such pairs at MMA this year.

We really don't see much of each othr at school so when we are home we ike advantage of the opportunity to njoy each other's company."

academic step taken by the Academy during my ten years on faculty," he said.

"It was a tremendous suc­ cess. My Junior School ca­ dets had one of the highest grade points in the class and his fellow classmates re­ spected his intelligence."

Knowing that this class would not be easy, Blair ad­ mitted he felt the effects of the extra work. "I'm glad that I allotted the extra time for homework."

"I really think that it was a great opportunity," he said.

"The faculty was very sup­ portive and I'm glad they had the faith in up to attempt such a program."

Learning 'all the right moves'

By Anthony Piacente

Christopher Terenzoni Kristopher Venable

1 o r t y Junior r—4 Schoolers enrolled JL in dance lessons and were instructed in the ba­ sics of various styles.

Local instructor Mrs. Janet Graham set out to broad­ en the horizons of her young pupils. Not only did she provide the steps, but she also brought a bevy of young girls to serve as partners.

Christopher Bruce David Shahmoradi

Charles Steinhauser Elias Trad

One and two and . .. : Using his newly acquired skills, Sam Blair uses his smooth moves to prop­ erly execute a waltz with dance partner Jennifer Parrott.

At each practice, different steps were taught orally and then practiced indi­ vidually before teaming up with a partner. These steps ranged from the for­ mal Fox Trot to the more upbeat moves of the Jit­ terbug.

F G Q: What are your feelings regarding the labeling and censorship of rock music lyrics?

p A 178

A: The decision to buy and listen to music should be left to the individual. As far as labeling is concerned, I don't think it will make any difference - if people want it they will pay for it.

he Last Page Reflecting over the past three years, I have made several discoveries . .. first and fore­ most is that things don't happen by accident.

The future is dependent on the present, just as the present relies on the past.

If you want to get philosophical about it everything that occurred today is a direct result of yesterday's actions and in turn, to­ morrow's events are based on what we do today. Hence the title of this book.

I believe it essential that everyone realizes the validity of these statements. Whether we like it or not, we are living in a goal-oriented society and to be successful we must, at an early age, build a solid foundation, one we can utilize as we develop our futures.

Take for instance, Formal Inspection. It wasn't blind luck that we retained our Gold Star. We honed our skills from the first min­ ute we stepped onto campus last fall. We examined our short comings from the pre­ vious year, expanded upon our strengths and overcame our weaknesses. As a result, we were able to present the desired effect success!

As graduates of Missouri Military Academy, we take these valuable lessons with us as we embark into the world and we use them as stepping stones. As for me, this year has been the culmination of many such lessons I will use throughout my life.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lt. Richard Orr for his guidence, support and infinite patience both in and out of the classroom and wish him well in his future endeavors.

Farewell: Life is a constant cycle of beginnings and endings .. . such were the emotions graduation day.
