THE SENIOR CLASS of Missouri Military Academy

Presents

The 1960

TAPS

A Final Salute

Just a word or two on the proper hand salute: To Colonel Kersey, soft-spoken, sincere, and wise, Whose vast inner strength is mirrored in his eyes:

Stand tall, Boy, be proud, build your repute Not only Seniors but all the merf of MMA Will miss him when he leaves us, late in May: In such manner that none may refute.

He leaves us as a soldier must, departs Into far lands, but never leaves our hearts:

Stand tall, Boy, be proud, and eye

And with his going our gratitude and respect constitute The essence of our poem: this final salute. This man among men, as he passes by. —Bill Sims ’60

As the cadets were drilling, a steady voice would echo across the field saying “Cut those hands away” or “Bring them up again, Major Sesler.” The Senior Class of 1960 wishes to pay special tribute to Lieutenant Colonel Sidney P. Kersey, Professor of Military Science and Tactics during the past four years. His leader ship has enabled the Corps to win four successive Honor Ratings. Through the instruc tion of the Military Department, the Fusileers won three State Drill Championships. We therefore dedicate the 1960 TAPS to an officer in which the qualities of “God, Duty, Country” are deeply instilled.

ADMINISTRATION AND

ACADEMICS

ACADEMIC LIFE

Acclaimed the most beautiful building on campus, Academic Building houses the majority of classrooms.

With the addition of the new S250.000 Academic Building to house the mess hall,

principal’s office, chemistry and biology lab oratory, and miscellaneous classrooms, learn ing has gone modern. This year the academic

standards have risen and the teaching staff has improved. An afternoon tutoring session has been arranged to promote more interest

in the academic side of life.

Fulkes and Richards prepare for classes.

At the beginning of the year the academic

fraternity’s membership did not look too

promising.

Previous members

found that

they might have to work a little to stay with it.

Consequently,

there has

been a vast

change in its roster. But nevertheless Delta Phi came through with its annual picture show, turkey raffle, and banquet. Its mem

bership has increased and President Stephen Richards and advisor Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm

look for a bright future.

Bill Enright, ’37, addressed Delta Phi at its initia tion banquet.

ACADEMIC AWARDS The school honor roll and the Valedic

torian are selected on the basis of an honor

point system. The honor point system is de

rived from an academic standing set up at the beginning of the year between the cadet

and his counseler. This is formulated from the cadet’s past academic record and achieve ment tests administered on a cadet's arrival. This year we are proud to announce Richard

Bird from Rochester, Illinois, as the Vale dictorian of 1960.

Cadets are shown receiving awards for their academic efforts at one of the monthly battalion reviews honoring the school’s top students.

SUPERINTENDENT Col. Charles R. Stribling, superin

tendent, president, and business man ager of the school since 1933, received his college education at Washington and

Lee University, earning a Greek scholar

ship in 1916 and an A.B. degree in 1917. Colonel Stribling served as a second lieutenant in

the Field Artillery in

World War I. He came to M.M.A. in 1920 as assistant commandant and in

structor of English and French, holding the rank of Captain. In 1924 he became

commandant of cadets with the rank of Major while continuing the teaching of

English.

He served for three years in

World War II and retired in 1945 with the rank of Lt. Colonel. The Colonel has quite a reputation on

the national scene at present. He is on the Board of Directors of the Missouri

Chamber of Commerce, Vice President Colonel Charles R. Stribling

of the Independent Schools of the Cen

tral States, and is past president of the Association of Military Colleges and

ing been listed in Who’s Who in America for the past

Schools of the United States, besides hav

20 years. He has also taken an active part in the affairs

of Mexico. He notes the most significant changes in the school The Colonel admires a statue of Shakespeare presented to him by a recent class.

since his arrival, as the building of the gym and the

armory in 1934, the extension of the campus, the acquisition and development of Mismilaca, and the con struction of the new messhall and Academic Building

He particularly likes to teach Shakespeare, as hi

students will verify, and is fond of all sports, but h

especially dislikes boys with an unoriginal excuse. ‘Tv

heard them all, and I’ll offer S5.00 for an original one.

To youth, Colonel Stribling’s philosophy for succe;

is, be prompt, respectful, and save a little money ot of each pay check.

COMMANDANT Lt. Col. C. M. Nunn arrived in September of 1941 to teach biology, general science, and chemistry, holding the rank of Lieutenant, and

serving as tactical officer to C company. In his

second year he was promoted to the office of

commandant in the absence of Major T. B.

Lumpkin, who was overseas at the time, and

held this office until Major Lumpkin’s return.

After three years of guidance work, he again resumed the office of commandant, after Major Lumpkin’s retirement.

He has been in this

capacity ever since, plus teaching biology and chemistry. The dry-humored and genial commandant

who hails from what he says is “God’s country,” but is otherwise known as Louisiana, Missouri,

notices the most significant changes in the school

as the Academic Building, and the elevation of the academic standards. Lt. Col. Chester M. Nunn

Here Lt. Col. Nunn feels that eagerness of cadets to learn has not increased accordingly.

Although his favorite diversion is hunting and

fishing, most recent honor is, “Being demoted to private by a certain member of the corps.”

He lists his pet-peeve as cadets who whine about reports, and his most frightening incident as

the time he ran an alumnus out of the barracks after relieving the person of a loaded pistol.

Lt. Col. Nunn is famous for his Saturday

morning formal inspections at which he might be expected to find anything, no matter how

well it may be hidden.

ADMISSIONS Lt. Col. Elmer R. Jackson, director of admis sions for the past twelve years, received his Bach elor of Music degree from Central College in

1931. Upon completion of his studies, he came

to M.M.A. as director of music. Colonel Jackson undertook direction of the band, glee club, and other musical activities.

In 1948 he was promoted to the office of

director of admissions; consequently, he is the

first person most prospective cadets get to know. Colonel Jackson states the highlight of his

musical career was his combo’s capturing third

place in competition at Carnegie Hall in New York.

They won two gold trophies for the

school, which are on display in the trophy case.

Colonel Jackson praises the stress of the ad ministration to prepare cadets for college and

the teacher’s willingness to give extra guidance if need be.

Affable as always, Lt. Col. Jackson leaves after a 13 busy day.

The smiling Colonel relates his special in

terests to music, football, and remembers fondl) the days when he coached the “Mighty Mites,’

an Academy football team for diminutive cadets

A family man, Colonel Jackson states, “M' door is always open to any cadet for guidance.

PRINCIPAL On his arrival at M.M.A. in 1941, Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm undertook the direction of the

English department and the glee club; and was

one of the three original founders of the Vesper services and the annual Christmas Evensong.

In 1943 he was promoted to the rank of Cap tain, and in 1947 assisted the principal who was

ill with a heart attack. In 1948 he was promoted

to the rank of Major and appointed to the office /

of Principal. In 1958, after seeing the Academic Building becoming a reality, the highlight of his career, he won the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Lt. Col. Lamm received his college education at the University of Oklahoma, and has earned

an A.B. and an M.Ed., besides having been ap pointed as one of eighteen members of the president’s honor class.

Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm

Lt. Co]. Lamm is admired for his devotion to

his job, in that he will go out of his way to help cadets solve both academic and personal problems. The principal’s principal interest when not at school,

include propagating plants, reading,

listening to all types of music, and hiking.

Lt. Col. Lamm’s pride: the Academic Build ing.

ENGLISH

Left to Right: Lt. Harris, Major Stribling, Lt. Hunt, Lt. Col. Lamm, Lt. Scarbrough.

Lt. Billy Harris Sophomore and Junior English—Basketball, Track and Football Coach. Lt. Harris is the shortest man on campus, but, oddly enough, the basketball coach. From the “Boot Heel” of Missouri, Lt. Harris retains a B.S. from Arkansas State College.

Major Charles Stribling III Junior English—“The Eagle” and “Taps” advisor—Vice President and Executive Officer—Golf Coach—Tactical’ Officer of “A” Company—Public Relations.

Lt. Robert Hunt Basketball and Baseball Coach. The point of many jokes, Lt. Hunt teaches the Freshmen English and Mathematics. “Tiny,” as he is nicknamed by the corps, has a B.A. from the University of the South. To show that he could produce a winning football team, he coached “C” Company, which by the way, took the battalion championship.

Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm Senior English—Glee Club—Principal. Lt. Col. Lamm believes in perfection in pronunciation, and he has exercised this belief with his English classes and the Glee Club. He specializes in grammar with his Seniors, and he does an all-around job with all cadets. Lt. George Scarbrough Senior and Sophomore English—Advisor for the “At Ease” Magazine. In his first year, Lt. Scarbrough has made quite a name for himself. He won the title of the “most popular teacher”. “The Bard,” so named for his professional literary works, hails from Tennessee.

HISTORY - LANGUAGE - COMMERCE

Left to Right: Capt Schneck. Lt. Loaiza, Major Bailey, Capt. Garry, Lt. Lawbaugh.

Captain Vernon Schneck Commerce Department Head—Tactical Officer—Intramural Sports Instructor. When Captain Schneck is not teaching the future businessmen how to keep books, etc., he enjoys fishing and golf. Captain Schneck holds an M.S. from Kansas State Teachers College.

Lt. Samaul Loaiza Spanish—Tennis Coach. Lt. Loaiza, from Columbia in South America, was a great help in teaching the Latin-American boys how to speak English.

Major Joe Bailey American History—Tactical Officer—Football and Wrestling CoachDirector of Athletics. Major Bailey holds an M.Ed. from the University of Missouri. In what leisure time he has, he likes to play bridge and golf. Captain John Garry Latin and History—Baseball Coach. When asked what he did in his spare time, Captain Garry replied, “Nothing! I’m a ‘spas’.” He was undoubtedly referring to Major Stribling’s facetious remark at the Spring Sports Banquet. Captain Garry holds a B.A. from Loras College.

Lt. E. S. Lawbaugh History—Government—Track Coach. After completing a tour of duty with the Marines, Lt. Lawbaugh came to M.M.A. When he undertook assisting Lt. Harris with the track team, he decided that he would be a working coach instead of a talking coach. This decision he has fulfilled according to his trackmen.

SCIENCE

Left to Right: Lt. Reddick, Lt. Col. Nunn, Lt. Kramer.

Lt. John Reddick Algebra—Earth Science—Physics. Lt. Reddick holds an A.B. from the University of Missouri and he is currently progressing on his Master’s in Geology. Lt. Reddick is remembered for his hard reveille inspections.

Lt. Col. C. M. Nunn Chemistry and Biology—Commandant. Lt. Col. Nunn is reputed for his pop quizzes, which many students do not foresee. Consequently, high grades are rather ex tinct—in his Chemistry class, especially. But, nevertheless, Lt. Col. Nunn remains a very well liked teacher. (Maybe because he’s commandant!) Lt. Clifford Kramer Biology. The latest addition to C company, Lt. Kramer has acquired a B.S. from the University of Dayton. In his spare time, Lt. Kramer can be found with a certain cadet’s sister, or making out exams for unsuspecting Biology students.

MATHEMATICS

Left to Right: Major Fulkes, Lt. Dodson. Lt. Hodge.

Major James Fulkes Mathematics and History—Swimming Coach—Freshman Class sponsor. The popular and smiling swimming coach, is remembered for his classic humor as demonstrated at the annual Spring Sports Banquet. Major Fulkes has attained a B.A. from the University of Chattanooga. He states that his favorite pastime is “paddling a canoe on a moonlight night,” but, strangely enough, “alone.” Could there be some doubt here?

Lt. Charles Dodson Algebra, Plane Geometry and Mechanical Drawing. This easy-going teacher, usually found back campus playing Robin Hood with his bow and arrow, drives his green Chevy. Lt. Dodson, who hails from Bonne Terre, Missouri, has acquired a B.A. from Southeast Missouri State Teachers College. Lt. E. C. Hodge Basic Mathematics, Trigonometry, Solid Geometry, and Algebra. Lt. Hodge, the hero of a certain- poem composed by the members of his Trig class, has acquired an M.A. from the University of Illinois. One of his most passionate dislikes is being called “coach”.

STAFF Major Paul Cherches demonstrated his supe

riority as a musician when he took over, in the unfortunate absence of Lt. Col. Lamn, the director ship of the glee club in addition to his added

duties as band director. For this, the glee club is very grateful.

Major Cherches

This year a happy corps acknowledged the re turn of Mrs. Maude Shotwell. After an absence of one and one half years, she again resumed her

duties assisting Dr. Lawrence Epple in his busy

job of school physician.

BARRACKS

“A” Barracks, the biggest on campus, had the largest number of cadets. The boys of “A” fre

quently complained of Col. C. M. Nunns visits up and down the halls at the wrong times.

Unlike the other two upper school companies,

"A” was not bothered by the town boys but rather by an abominable snowman, so they said. Jim Diez of Kenesaw, Nebraska, was company

commander of “A”. Jim, who is planning on

attending Colorado University, was one of the very few seniors to swim across Teardrop Lake on front campus.

Richard Barthold, “A's” executive officer, who

hailed from Peoria, Illinois, and was known around campus as “cool Rick,” was in the Acad

emy’s Glee Club and was on “A’s” football team at the beginning of the year.

Charley Scheidt, a Saint Louisan, was “A”

Company’s first sergeant.

Charley, here three

years and a junior, was designated as next year’s

“C” company commander on an order published May 12th. Charley, lots of fun to have around, was always ready to do anything. The boys of “A” were very proud of their new

“wall paper,” as they called it. This consisted

of the many pieces that company competition

victories were written on.

Jim Diez Company Commander

PANY

“A”, the largest and most beautiful barracks on campus, is situated on the south part between the new Academic Building and “B” Barracks. It is noted for its many entrances, hard working trackmen and marksmen, and the amount of brass that dwells beneath its roof.

"C” CON “C” Company, situated next to the Adminis tration Building, for the first time in many

years tied “D” in their retaliation against the town boys. Except for the strange story of a couple of town boys going into the barracks,

taking a few bottles of cleaning fluid from the rooms and breaking them on the walk in front

of the barracks, all activities have been outside.

Lee Roy Rovik, who was company commander resided in the Windy City. Lee, one of the companys best football players, was a friend to

everyone. He always found time to sit down,

listen to troubles, and to help out. Hal Reisel of Saint Louis, executive officer of

“C” was vice-president of the Senior Class. He

had lots of fun this year despite a short shaving cream incident.

Steve Richards of Garnett, Kansas, was “C’s” first sergeant, an easy going person with always

something humorous to say.

Steve liked the

educational tours the school offered during his

stay better than anything else. Here for three years Steve ranked third in the Senior Class academically. “C” Company won the Sunday

"D” COM “D” Barracks, commonly known as the Alamo, is situated on the corner of Promenade and

Grand streets, and has been the objective of town boy activities for many years. This past year was no different from any other. Although

there were a few changes in the rules and a new company commander was present, “D” Barracks

still stood, even though there was some specula tion as to how long it would. The boys would

readily agree with anyone that they had more fun in “D” than anywhere else. Jack Austin, who hailed from Wichita, Kan

sas, and was company commander of “D” for

the past year, did a very good job of keeping law and order in the barracks despite his mid

night excursions to the basement floor in the middle of the winter.

Jack had excellent help in the form of an

Ecuadorian, Brian Oviedo. Brian, who finished

his sixth year at the Academy was a friend to

ward everyone, overlooking his goodie raids. Joe Martin, who has felt every non-commis

sioned officer rank there was, was “D’s” highest ranking non-com and also company first ser

geant. Joe, who also resides in Wichita, was a

good natured guy who would try anything once

and most things twice. Among the plaques that “D” won this year

was the company spelling plaque. It was the fourth win in a row.

m?/ AR: 6M;

This section of the TAPS is dedicated to the Athletic Program at M.M.A. We believe that this program is the finest to be had. Varsity Sports include football in the fall, basketball, wrestling, riflery, and swim ming in the winter, and track, tennis, golf, and baseball in the spring. In addition to these there is a great variety of intramural sports: Softball, box ing, horseback riding, archery, soccer, weightlifting, lifesaving, and bowling.

VARSITY FOOTBALL-BEST

With the best season in seven years the M.M.A. Colonels came through with a 4-4 record. Al

though the won-loss record does not show it, the Colonels out rushed (1383 yds.-760 yds.), out

scored (92-71), and had more first downs (81-58) than their opponents. In the big game of the season with Kemper the Colonels didn’t let the Academy down. Scoring

in every quarter the team trounced Kemper, 33-6, before a record D,ads Day crowd.

Principia

tripped M.M.A., 20-6, in a game that was played in the rain and on a muddy field. In the best-

played game of the season the Colonels only missed tieing St. Louis’s Country Day by a hair. With 30 seconds to go in the fourth quarter, the Cadets moved the ball from their own 45 to the seven yard line of Country Day. The Academy defeated a highly rated McCooey team, 25-13, and in the

closing game of the season once again defeated the Kemper Yellowjackets, 20-7. The 1959 co-captains were LeRay Sullivan and Guy Gilchrist, Both received Honorable Men-

tion on the All-District Team.

Aside from the routine of academic work, drill, and athletics, cadets have other facilities at which to spend their time. Two ping-pong tables, a pool table and a T.V. seem to keep the interest of many. This year Capt. Bob Piper’s speech class put on a Christmas play, therefore utilizing its participants time for rehearsal. Besides all of this, four trips were taken. The cadets visited Bagnell Dam and Mark Twain’s Cave twice. At the Dam they saw the hydroelectric plant. They enjoyed the cave because they could get lost a iot in it.

EDUCATK]

Cadets enjoy seeing Frankie Laine perform in the Bine Room of New Orleans' Roosevelt Hotel.

Colonel and his wife with some of the cadets beside Lake Ponchartrain.

The educational trip this year went to New Orleans, Louisiana, and Biloxi, Mississippi, where the cadets spent five wonderful days. In New Orleans they visited such famous places as the St. Louis Cathedral, Lake Ponchartrain, Antoie’s and many others. One night they saw Frankie Laine at the Roosevelt Hotel. During the two-day stay in Biloxi the cadets soaked up as much sun as they could, but there were always those historical tours that the Colonel had lined up. But the boys always managed to escape and go out on their own; some even got lost up in the clouds, while others disappeared on motor-scooters.
