Inspecting a press

Saturday Inspection.

Capt. Starke and S|Sgt. McDermott go ove

During the fall of 1960, MMA was assigned by the Department of the Army two outstanding military in structors, an officer and an enlisted man. Since then, these men have proven to be the stereotypes of outstand ing military career men. Captain John B. Starke came to our campus from Ft. Benning, Georgia, to be the Academy’s first Asst. PMS and Asst. Commandant. In just three short years the Captain has captured the unanimous respect of the faculty and cadet corps. Dedicated to the military way of life, he spent many long, successful hours developing leadership qualities in cadets. Capt. Starke, graduating from a military school himself, was keenly aware of typical cadet problems and dealt with them in an un derstanding, just manner. His success as a respected leader rested largely upon his ability to use a certain intrinsic leadership trait — TACT. It is certainly no overstatement to say that every cadet with whom he came into contact learned a valuable lesson. It is indeed a great pleasure to dedicate this book to a rare and respected man — Captain John Starke.

Shown with Gary Graham, Fusileer Commander, “Sarge” shows how to pick up points in the Missouri State Drill Meet. Without his help, the Fusileers couldn’t have won the state championship. plans for the annual government inspection.

“Sarge” came to MM A our Sopho more year and immediately became known for his sharp wit and friendly attitude. Whether coaching the “D” Company football team or putting the state champion Fusileers through their performance, he could always be seen exchanging a wise crack with one of the seniors. He leaves our campus this spring to serve a 13-month tour with his Uncle Sam in the wilds of Korea. He has taught us his standards of mili tary and social excellence that will be put to good use in later life. He has proven to be a solid citizen both on the athletic field and in the classroom, to say nothing of his formidable reputa tion as a golf pro. To a member of our graduating class, this book is yours — Staff Sergeant Lewis E. McDermott.

Dad’s Day, 1962 Dad’s Day was the biggest highlight of the first half of the year. Parents came from near and far to sec their sons for the first time. Teacher conferences, a review, a luncheon, a football game, and the ball, all accounted for the success of Dad’s Day, 1962.

Recognition was the highlight of the year for the recruits. (Above) Major John Hum mel, battalion commander, delivered his ad dress to the corps, congratulated those who were recognized and explained why others didn’t make it.

The top ten recruits of the battalion, based on scholastic and military achieve ment and general adjustment to barracks life: FRONT ROW, Ted Jobin, Rich ard Seery, John Rupp, Joe Rumph, Thomas Gennings, Richard Christy; SECOND ROW, Michael Messersmith, Joseph Rovik, Cress Page, and Paul Funk.

The ceremony was climaxed by the reading of the S.O. by Lieutenant Richard Hindes, adjudant, and the receiving of the white star from Major Hummel. 14

The tradition and beauty of the Evensong brought the Christ mas spirit to even the non-conformist. The night-beforc-fur-

lough event attracted 600 people from all over the mid-west.

Government Inspection Major David Colaw, PMS at Western M.A., and Capt. Robert Johnson from Kemper com prised the inspecting party for the 1963 Govern ment Inspection, on April 12. The team spent an entire day inspecting facilities and all phases of cadet life. Three weeks of extensive training, with athletic periods being sacrificed for military periods, sharpened the corps for the big day.

At the end of the day Major Colaw replied, “Your standards are high, and the over-all impression of MMA was that all authorities were aware of their responsibilities.” According to Capt. Johnson, “The individual work of each cadet was outstanding.” Of the individual weapons inspection, Capt. Johnson said, “The manual of arms was good and again cadets knew required material pertaining to their weapon.” “The day was better than last year’s in all respects,” stated Major Lorenzo Luckie, PMS. The corps can be proud for its performance both on the field and in the barracks.

Academics and

Administration The Missouri Military Academy makes a point of carrying a well-rounded curriculum of subjects. In doing so, it hopes that graduates of the Academy will leave with a high school education which is complete in all of its aspects.

Jo Pi o

Superintendent For 30 years Colonel Charles R. Stribling has been serving the Academy both as an English IV instructor and as the Superintendent. For more than 40 years he has devoted his time to the betterment of the Missouri Military Academy and its Corps of Cadets. It is because of his devotion that the Academy is what it is today. However, the Colonel is also a server of the country. He holds the position of President of the Independent Schools of the Central States. In Mexico he is President of the Audrain Hospital Board of Trustees, Vice-Chairman of the Mexico Recreation Committee, and on the Board of Trus tees of the Mexico Community Chest.

Ask any cadet and he will tell you, “the Colonel is always there.” Yes, he is always there to cheer the team, to help a cadet in need, or to talk to a cadet’s parents. It is because of his kindness and generosity that he has captured the respect and love of the M.M.A. Corps of Cadets.

The Commandant Most prominent of the new men on campus last September was Lt. Col. J. S. Gardner, USMC (ret’d), the new Commandant of Cadets. The Colonel was born in Waco, Texas and as a young boy developed an interest in the military. To further his education he attended Texas A. and M., Jackson College, the U.S. Naval Academy, the Naval Postgraduate School, earning a Bache lor of Science in Education and a Master of Science degree. A veteran of 20 years in the Marine Corps, he has served on Guadalcanal, Bougainville, and Guam, where he was wounded in 1944. Among the Colonel’s awards are the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and numerous naval cita tions.

Colonel Stribling and Colonel Gardner worked together on improvements for the Corps and the school. At left they are working on the Sunday morning privileges which were a welcome change for the Corps.

Administration Director of Admissions Lt. Col. Elmer Jackson, in his 23 years at the Academy, has filled the posts of Director of Music and Director of Admissions. Presently he is also C company advisor, where he is well known for his jovi ality and his willingness to give help to a cadet in need. As Director of Admissions the Colonel spends much of his time on the road recruiting new cadets.

Principal During his 21 years as Principal at M.M.A. Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm has been of constant service to the Corps as academic advisor and counselor. Among the Universities at which he received his higher education are the University of Oklahoma, the University of Guana juato, Institutio Tecnologico de Monterrey and Middlebury.

Executive Officer Major Charles Stribling, since graduating from the University of Missouri in 1950, has been very' much a part of the Academy’s affairs. In his 11 years here he has filled the positions of Public Relations Director, Commandant, Vice-President, Executive Officer, Director of Alumni Affairs, Publications Advisor and English teacher. Having graduated from M.M.A. the Major is well suited as A Company advisor. Among his interests are travel, sports, sports cars, and hunt

ing.

Administration Professor of Military Science Major Lorenzo F. Luckie has done much to improve the military department during his 2-year sojourn as PMS. He is known by all for his wittiness and humor and is respected for his well-rounded knowledge. It might be well to note the improvement in the Corps for which he is responsible.

Director of Athletics Well known to the athletes of M.M.A. is Major Joe Bailey, Ameri can History instructor and Director of Athletics, a veteran of 22 years at the Academy. The Major is a graduate of Northeast Missouri State College where he received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Education degrees.

As PMS Major Luckie has the duty of awarding medals to those who earn them. At the weekly Sunday Review he is a regular member of the re viewing party. At right he is shown awarding a marksman ship medal to Cadet Schmidt, C.C.

Administration Director of Music Well known among the musicians of M.M.A. is Major Paul F. Cherches, the Director of Music. The Major is also in charge of the marching band, the concert band, the Glee Club and private music classes. In his spare time he aids the young Junior School musicians. His warm personality and willing ness to give extra help has increased the popularity of music on campus.

The Quartermaster Major Orrval Maupin, mess officer and Quarter master, has the overwhelming task of feeding and clothing 300 boys. It may be said that he has suc ceeded in this task and has, in fact, done an excellent job. As Quartermaster he has the task of issuing uni forms, handling school supplies, and keeping the corps supplied with other less important articles.

At right Major Cherchcs may be seen aiding Cadet Smith during private music classes.

English Department

Captain Thomas McLaughlin Apathy in cadets is the pet peeve of Captain Thomas W. Mc Laughlin, an English instructor new to M.M.A. The Captain has put much of his free time into the Dramateers, the M.M.A. dramatics group, and many people have noted his superior work with the cadets. Among the Captain’s hobbies is reading, William Shakespeare being his favorite author.

Lieutenant James Giles Being mistaken for a cadet is a candid problem of Junior and Senior English instructor Lieutenant James Giles. The Lieutenant is riding instructor with a true southern spirit — he comes from Gastonia, North Carolina. He developed an enjoy ment for classical music while at Davidson College, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree.

Lieutenant Charles Vines Lt. Charles Vines, noted among his students for his wit and all around jovial manner, was the coach of D’s downtrodden Blue Wave and the intramural weightlifting squad this year. AT EASE, the school literary magazine, was under his experienced eye. The coach has only one real pet peeve — that is, personality con flicts.

Mathematics Department

Lt. Mok Tokko and Lt. Don Cockerill, new math instructors at M.M.A., pose for the TAPS photographer.

Lieutenant Don Cockerill Lieutenant Don Cockerill, Geometry instructor and assistant foot ball and wrestling coach, has pointed out the fact that he feels it unnecessary for geometry to be a required course. The Lieutenant attended Ohio State University where he received his Bachelor of Science in Education. In his spare time he enjoys sailing.

Lieutenant Mok Tokko Lieutenant Mok Tokko, a new teacher at the Academy, likes the campus and all of the cadets, with the exception of those who are inattentive in class. The Lieutenant, who hails from Seoul, Korea, enjoys music and fishing. Along with teaching Mathematics and World History, he is assistant swimming coach and Life Saving coach.

Mathematics Department Captain Edward Hodge Captain Edward C. Hodge has been instructing Mathematics at M.M.A. for five years. He has many interests and one pet peeve. That is, high officials who drag their families into politics. The Captain’s home town is Monmouth, Illinois. He attended Monmouth College, University of Illinois and the University of Chicago, where he received two degrees.

Lieutenant James Marley Science and Mathematics are the interests of Lieutenant James Marley, who attended N.W. Missouri College where he received a Bachelor of Science in Education. The Lieutenant is unique in that he is heard and not seen as organ accompanist to the Academy’s Sunday vespers services.

Lieutenant Thomas O’Brien A native of Waterbury, Connecticut, Lieutenant Thomas S. O’Brien is a graduate of Belmont Abbey and Appalachian State University with AB and MA degrees. The Lieutenant is a Commercial English instructor and was assistant softball coach. Among his interests are reading and spectator sports.

History Department Major James S. Fulkes Major James Fulkes is a veteran of 25 years at M.M.A. Fie is an instructor of Economics and Government, but in this time he has been coach of about every athletic organization on campus. Among the Major’s interests and hobbies are dramatics and the Red Cross. Presently he is the instructor of M.M.A.’s Red Cross Lifesaving Course.

Lieutenant Thomas King Students who talk in class and don’t do their homework are the bothers of World History instructor Lieutenant Thomas King. New to the Lieutenant spent much of his time coaching softball and supervising the barracks.

Lieutenant Ernest Lehto Lieutenant Ernest Lehto has just completed his second year at the Academy. As an instructor he has taught Modern History and Latin. Among the Lieutenant’s interests are Greek literature and sports. Sports, as a hobby of his, have made him a great friend of the corps he has coached basketball, football and baseball.

Staff The Secretaries Among the workers at the Academy who receive little acclaim are the sec retaries. Mrs. Mary Kehl, upper left, is the secretary to the Principal. She is a veteran of five years’ service at the Academy. Mrs. Madge Graham, upper right, has worked at the Academy for 1 1 years and has a son who is “A” Company C.O. Mrs. Dorothy Sumpter, lower left, whose home town is St. Louis, worked at M.M.A. for three years. Mrs. Sara Heberer, lower right, a graduate of M.U., has worked at the Academy for seven years.

The Librarian Miss Edna Bickley, who received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Missouri, has been librarian for the Academy the last 6 years. In the time the cadets have learned that she abhors over due or misplaced library books.

The Nurse Mrs. Ethel Millett, a veteran of seven years in the Army nurse corps and 33 and one-half months as a prisoner of the Japanese, is the new Academy nurse. The nurse noted among her dislikes noisy hospital squads, and misbehavior among the hospitalized. A native of Kansas, she now makes her home at the post hospital with her two sons, one of whom is a cadet.

Doctor Lawrence Epple As the Academy physician, Dr. Lawrence K. Epple attends to the cadets at the post hospital. The Doc, as he is affectionately known, is famous on campus for his cheer, “Get those carpetbaggers,'’ which is heard a multitude of times at Colonels’ football games.

The Barber Well known and feared on campus by many long-haired cadets is Mr. Dallas Osterhout, the Academy barber. “Peck ” as he is often called, notes that among his dislikes arc cadets with dry untrained hair. There are few shaggy headed cadets on cam pus who have not met his shears and regretted their poor taste in hair styles.

Cadets

The nine months of 1962-63 were short but fruitful for the 300 cadets at M.M.A. They were crowded with the high lights of Dad’s Day, the winning of the coveted gold football, visit of the Lao Colonels, the 22nd Evensong, Government Inspection, a winning basketball team, another undefeated wrestling team, and of course, Commencement — the day everyone looked forward to but was sorry to see come. A new commandant, several new teachers and one of the largest groups of recruits in the corps’ history helped make the year a challenge, in which everyone rallied to the cause. The peak of the year was Government Inspection, at which the Academy was awarded its 34th consecutive honor rating and was lauded by the inspectors as the school to beat. The month of May marked the beginning of M.M.A.’s Diamond Jubilee Battalion; on Mother’s day medals were presented to those who were to return for the 75th year. In all the year was one of the most successful in the Academy’s history, bringing knowledge and maturity to all cadets, especially to the class of ’63.

“Sway”

If there was one cadet who could use his head in sports, it was “hard-headed” Sway. It was a great asset to him in both football and wrestling. Always conscious of his clothes, he was one of the sharpest looking cadets on campus. As a company commander, he was one of the best. This was surely reflected upon him when D Company took a ma jority of company competitions. His nature of always seeking glory will make him a great success in later life.

John was what is called a real mover. Whether on fur lough driving his famous 409 or horsing around in the barracks, he was always followed by a large group of friends. John was also outstanding in the field of sports, especially football. This year he was second high scorer, which helped make him co-captain. He will be missed by all who knew him in years to come.

“Rupert”

Gary was the only senior who spent his furlough in Mexico, Missouri. He did this for two reasons: one, a certain girl named Carol and the other, the fact that he was a native of the town. As Company A’s commander he gave Phil Baum a run for his money in the race for Honor Company. As well as being a good athlete he was number one in the Senior Class. Later in life, if he continues as he has, he will surely know the sweet smell of success.

“Sonny3

When Sonny started out at the Academy he just didn’t agree with the disciplinary department. After a few tours, however, he finally decided that he couldn't fight it. You could be sure of one thing; if “Sonny” ever started some thing, he would be sure to finish it. He was a quiet person, but that never seemed to hide his spirit. Lynn will study astronomy at college next year. We all wish him luck because astronomers will be in great demand in the future.

Always smiling, Dave liked nothing better than a prac tical joke. Although he didn’t like tours, he was constantly willing to sacrifice his spare time for some good clean fun. As a result of this he spent many general leaves in study hall with his friends. A consistent worker, Badger was always working to bring his grades tip and will continue working on them next year in “Okieland.”

Crackerjack had a real red face, especially when he occasionally became tongue-tied while reading an order.

Hock, a two-year man, was well liked by many. A valuable characteristic of Mark’s was to accomplish what he put his mind to. According to school history he earned the first provisional letter in track. The Greek one of the most coveted awards a cadet can receive, the Soldier's Bar.

Bob was the type who wasn’t noticed, but when he wasn’t around his classmates would miss him. Company could rely on him to help keep the football team winning in the fall and the track team counting on his help in the spring. He was a good vocalist and an always loyal cadet. ’Til the sands of the desert grow cool, he will not be forgotten.

Not many people really could say they knew Charlie. Sure, everyone knew him by sight, but most were mis led by his quiet personality and failed to know him for what he really was. He didn’t say much in a group, but you can bet your life when he did you held your sides with laughter. Charlie worked hard to achieve a perfect disciplinary record and kept it spotless. It is certain that this senior will always get the ultimate out of life.

Rabbit was different. A person couldn’t tell what he was like unless you knew him. If you thought you had him figured out it would turn out to be the complete opposite. Bob played football for the D Company “Blue Devils" as well as baseball for the Colonels. As well as being an athlete, he was well above average in the academic de partment.

If it can be done the wrong way, depend on Herbie to do it; and generally it’s for the laughs he knows he will get. Beneath that exterior he hides a brain which works only when he wants it to. Yes, he could be as outstanding academically as he is on the gridiron and on the mats. The marching he does on general leaves will surely build him a body beautiful.

“Bird”

This senior had the unusual nickname of “bird.” It dates back to his first year at the Academy when he dis played his enormous appetite at the breakfast table. His friends started to call him the “Breakfast Bird” or “Bird” for short and it has stuck with him. Chuck was easy going and he seldom let his temper get the best of him. This was quite an accomplishment, because he was the victim of many practical jokes.

R.O.T.C. Detce. At M.M.A. for two years, Major Lorenzo Luckie has developed no pet peeves, but still has time to enjoy his hobbies, music and photography. Attending the University of Virginia and Georgia, Major Luckie received his B.S. in Education, which is an aid to his task of P.M.S., considering all of the material he has to prepare. It is evident that Major Luckie has a strong feeling for the Academy when he states “someday there will be a need for good soldiers, good citizens and good leaders; it is my hope that every cadet will be able to fill one of those categories.”

.J Two years ago MSgt. Vincent Gallagher left M.M.A. for Korea, had Taps dedicated to him. Now back as coach and instructor, Sarge has helped with soccer and boxing. The latter is one of his hobbies, with foot ball and “keeping up with cadets.” He states he has always felt it an honor to work with R.O.T.C. students and has especially enjoyed M.M.A. and its great facilities. This old yarn spinner would like to “strike about the head” all cadets who fail to take advantage of study opportuni ties.

S.F.C. Robert Moon, a master marksman with the bow and bullet, has taken it upon his broad shoulders to instruct to his best ability the two skills to cadets, besides his regular job of teaching military science. Sarge thinks that the majority of cadets fail to take advantage of opportunities extended by the Academy. Davenport, Iowa has the honor of claiming this avid sports fan, has even enjoyed in the course of his life driving race cars.

chment Staff At M.M.A. for the last 3 years, Captain John Starke has become very well known by the cadets for his interest in the corps as a whole, and has done a very good job carrying out discipline even with his disability, his being a product of Went worth. As assistant commandant he has had an excel lent chance to carry out his wrath upon cadets with long hair, his pet peeve. Captain Starke is leaving M.M.A. this year to go to military college at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and will leave an unfillable space in the hearts at the Academy. ....

. Staff Sergeant Lewis McDermott has • been an instructor in military subjects and at M.M.A. for three during this time he has made friends with many cadets because of his many interests in sports such as golf, which he instructs this spring, basketball, and fishing. But if Sergeant “Mac” does like the cadets, he does not try to conceal his pet peeve — those with long hair, and believes that too many cadets are only in terested in their own interests, not those of the corps as a whole. Hailing from Fulton, Missouri, the Ser geant has been returned very close to home by the Army which first sent him off to the jungles of South America.

Sgt. Vallie Furlow, instructing his first year at M.M.A., has been exceptionally busy with outside interests such as company football, soccer and track. After serving in Heidelberg, Germany, Sergeant finds it pleasant to work on the campus of a military academy, but he admits it hard when he says “never have so few cadets given one man more gray hairs in the course of a year.” General Leave, as the cadets call him, enjoys sports and camping and finds this area well-facilitated for the enjoy ment of these interests.

Barracks “A,” largest and best-equipped on campus, roomed more cadets than any other, with 87 aboard. Many residents showed aptitude in helping “A” win company competition 3 times, and the weekly drill

flag 6 times. In addition, “A” was awarded a permit for winning company competition for one month. Athletes here won wrestling, swimming, weightlifting, basketball championships and tied with “C” for the football crown. The company was led through reviews, parades and tactics by Gary Rupert Graham. In his sixth year at M.M.A., Gary led the senior class academically and was president of Delta Phi. First sergeant of the company, John Unnerstall, was designated battalion commander for 1963-64 on one of the last special orders. “A” ran the tactical problem at G.I. and enter tained five M.S.D. boys at their annual barracks holi day party.

With 11 returning lettermen, the varsity football team com piled a memorable record under head coach, Maj. Joe Bailey. Assisting Maj. Bailey were Lt. Ernie Lehto and Lt. Don Cockerill. Larry Pifer, co-captain of the Colonels, was the backbone of the team, adding much to its spirit and drive. John Ellis, the other co-captain, filled the halfback position like a “pro.” Both Boys are cited by Coach Bailey as outstanding lineman and back. Player material was above normal as every member of the squad put forth full effort. The team was largely made up of underclassmen, and next year’s record is expected to be greatly improved. The highlight of the season came when the Colonels made the trip to Boonville to play against their arch-rival, Kemper.

Sgt. Robert Moon’s varsity rifle team brought in some hard-won honors. The team got off to a slow start and was unable to find the winning groove, but improved as the season progressed. David Peak was con sistently high scorer for MMA during the two matches with Kemper, the two against Wentworth and the last match against Western. Postal matches were also entered, both nationally and within this area. The highlight of the season was the Camp Perry match, which consisted of rifle teams within the 5th Army area. David Peak placed very high among approximately 300 competitors. Several of the members of the team won expert medals.

Coach James Fulkes commented, “we have seen good performances this year from Hughes and Hindes, our co-captains. Also, underclassmen Wilson and Morrow show a lot of potential.” The swimming team in its first season under the new assistant coach, Lt. Mok Tokko, entered four men in the state swimming meet in St. Louis. None of the swimmers qualified but most of them will be returning next year to try again.

Produced Good Sounds

The band had a good sound no matter where it went or what kind of weather it was. The band, composed of 45 members and led by Jim Williams, always put on an extraordinary show, both on the field and in the street. With an improved balance in both the woodwinds and brass sections, the band put on a spectacular half-time show on Dad’s Day.

in a Sunday review.

A show for their dads.

Football Band Provided Pep

Setting a strict drum cadence, the football band led the cadet corps onto the field for the football game with Kemper at Kemper. The band provided a great spirit of enthusiasm when it played from the stands at the football game. It helped the team to get the spirit and enthusiasm it needed to win the Gold Football.

Setting his standards high, James Williams, drum major, did an outstanding job with the marching band during the year. “His command raised the stature and performance of the

marching band into one of the sharpest units,” remarked Major Paul Cherches, music director.

Personalities David Peak (right) won a I rating on French horn at the state music contest for the third consecutive year. Later he was named band commander-elect for 1963-64, the Diamond Jubilee year.

Awarded a II rating in the state contest was the brass quartet (below) of Charles Kirk, Bill Keaton, George Morrell and David King.

Special Music Units The Academy’s concert band (right) played with special musical excellence during a Mother’s Day concert and at Commencement.

The Drum and Bugle Corps provided the corps of cadets with both music and cadence three times a day, seven days a week, snow, rain, sleet, or shine at mess formations. The corps, com posed of 42 members and led by Jim Williams, though the last one into the mess hall at meal time, was the first in sound and music quality of preceding years.

The Craftsmen, a dance combo, played at several of the informal dances that were held during the year.
