Colonel Eugene Lamm . . . a Man of

Col. Lamm teaches his Spanish class: students admire him for his ability to explain the subject thoroughly.

Industry, integrity and loyalty are qualities M.M.A. seeks to develop in every cadet. They are the quali ties for which the very best cadets are admitted to the Legion of Honor, the highest award attainable at this school.

Should a faculty Legion of Honor be established, one of the first members would be Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm, upper school principal. To him, the staff of the 1965 Taps dedicates this annual. Col. Lamm arrived on campus in 1941 to undertake the direction of the English Department and the Glee Club. He was one of the first three founders of the original Christ mas Evensong, was promoted to cap tain in 1943 and to major and prin cipal in 1948. In 1958, after seeing the Academic Building become a re ality, he was raised to lieutenant colonel.

The disciplinary and academic departments must work together in a school such as MMA. Col. Lamm and Capt. Charles Vines, the commandant, discuss matters which are important, yet light enough for a laugh. 2

Col. Lamm received his college ed ucation at the University of Okla homa, receiving there both A.B. and M.Ed. degrees. He was one of the 18 members of the president’s honor class.

industry, Integrity, and Loyalty Left, the principal conducts the annual company spelling contest.

Below, Seniors would be lost with out the Colonel’s assistance in college applications. Here he is counseling Cadet Dave Buxton.

Greatly admired for his devotion to his job, the Principal, during the summer, must complete the complex task of scheduling all upper school cadets for classes leading to graduation and college entrance. Book orders, tests, scholarship guides- -all of these fall within his province.

During the school year his jobs include organization of class schedules, operation of an orderly Academic Building, assistance and supervision of teachers, counseling of both seniors and underclassmen, and the teach ing of two Spanish classes, in which students describe him as an “excel lent instructor who explains everything carefully.” Arriving on campus early each day, he is available to all cadets for counsel in personal and scholastic matters, offering sound advice. The Senior Class is especially indebted to him for his sincere and diligent help in college selection and admission.

In rare moments of leisure, the Principal’s principal interests are propogating plants, reading, listening to all types of music and hiking. A supporter of nearly all school activities, Colonel Lamm, with his warm smile and his voice of encouragement, enchances social functions, ath letic contests and Sunday evening vespers, for which he is always present.

Parents also come for counsel. Above, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Passick. 3

Twenty-six states and six foreign countries were represented in the enrollment of 320 cadets who reported to M.M.A. early in September to be gin the Academy’s 76th year. A new student infirmary—seventh new building in eight years —was on the southeast corner of the campus. Additional quarters for 20 boys were created in the old hospital, now the “D” Barracks annex. The entire second floor of the Armory Building had been re-modeled into expanded quarters for music. New classrooms were created on the

ground floor of “A” and the infirmary. During the summer Barracks’“A” had been completely renovated and equipped with new hardwood floors, clothes lockers and chairs. Harry Hoyt, the new battalion commander, and six cadet officers headed the first special order which named 112 cadets.

The largest Dad’s Day crowd in M.M.A. history —more than 1,000 persons—was on campus Oc tober 9-11 for a first look at “Junior” in action. Highlights of the occasion were three football games, conferences with teachers, a buffet lunch eon, competitive drills, Dad’s Day Ball and vespers. First-year cadets Dean Grimes and Buff Chance outdrilled all other new boys. The Lions edged the Eagles, 7—0, “A” and “D” played to a score less tie, and the Colonels romped over Wentworth,

Gubernatorial Inauguration Ceremonies

It was in the 76th year of Academy history that the electorate voted Lyndon B. Johnson President of the United States and Warren E. Hearnes Governor of Mis souri. Eighty-seven M.M.A. cadets, members of the marching band and the Fusilcers drill team, were ap pointed to parade in Washington, D.C., and Jefferson City, Missouri. It was the third consecutive time M.M.A. had been named to parade in a national inauguration. The Fusileers traveled by rail to the Capitol, where Capt. Sam Bird, ’57, commander of the guard at Arlington Cemetery, guided them to national landmarks. The parade was nationally-televised.

Thirty-six cadets—upper school and Junior School—made up the com plement for M.M.A.’s 17th educa tional tour—an eight-day excur sion to Florida and the Bahamas. By bus, train, ship and plane the cadets visited Marineland, Cypress Gardens, Miami and Miami Beach before boarding the S.S. Bahama Star for a cruise to the Bahamas. There they toured historic places, swam at Paradise Beach, shopped in the straw market and on Bay Street. On the ship itself they enjoyed deck sports and the music of island sing ers. To many it was “the trip of a lifetime.”

G.I., A General Two important military events took place in May. On May 13, annual government inspection was held, resulting in a 35th honor rating from the Department of the Army. “Cadets’ appearance, loyalty and atti tude, their pride in their school and in their respective units were particularly noticeable,” wrote Col. Harley Miller, senior member of the three-man team. The quality of the cadet corps was found to be the best anywhere by another of the officers, who had inspected five mid-west academies in two years. Col. C. R. Stribling held a critique with the corps at the end of the day and offered a “100 to 1 ’ bet that M.M.A. again had made honor school. He was right. On May 23, Major General Robert H. Adams, commander of U.S. Army XI Corps, visited campus, inspected the guard, awarded medals. He, too, was most complimentary.

Every cadet in the 1964-65 battalion will remember final formation on the front campus May 30, 1965.

Seniors were solemn as they sang “Old M.M.A.” for the last time at the conclusion of graduation exercises in the packed Academy gymnasium. It was the last time the class would ever be together in entirety. Their faces re flect this thought.

Final formation was a solemn occasion for Senator Long, Colonel Stribling, Mrs. Stribling and Ann 25

ACADEMICS IE?

ADMINISTRAT

The seventy-sixth year was a term of solid ac complishment in academics. Six of 14 M.M.A. entries received the highest award (I rating) in a district scholastic contest. Strong scholarship was given added stimulus with a new afternoon . program of independent study for eight spe-

cially-selected cadets, supervised by four mem bers of the science and math departments. Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm, principal, indicated the pro gram might be expanded into the humanities in 1965-66.

Colonel Charles R. Stribling President

Col. C. R. Stribling has been associated with military schools for 48 years except for World War II. He was twenty years old when he started. The Colonel attended Washington and Lee University, started at MMA as an English teacher and has been one ever since. He was assistant commandant for 3 years, commandant for 10 years, and superintendent for 32 years. Boys are the Colonel’s hobbies, both adolescent and onery ones! As an English teacher, Col. Stribling tries to instill in his students a “Belief in God, a belief in hard work, a be lief in free enterprise, an appreciation of the finer things of life, an understanding of the necessities of life and a love for ‘Bill’ Shake speare.”

Commandant Most cadets especially would agree that Captain Charles Vines has done a fine job this year, his first as Commandant, his third at MMA. The Captain’s first two years were spent teaching Freshman English, but this year he moved up to Sophomores. Cap tain Vines is known to the cadets as being very alert; but. most important of all, he has evidenced his knowledge of understand ing how the cadets think and act. This man is perhaps the most busy on campus when it comes to getting ready for furloughs and special events. The problems of how the cadets will be dressed, where they will be and when were usually left up to Captain Vines. As he has commented to the cadets, he is the first man to set foot on campus in the fall and the last to leave in May.

Vital to intelligence is knowledge of the interaction of our own society and of those around us in our shrinking world. Teachers of social studies pushed toward this goal at the Academy.

Head of the department, Major Joe Bailey, handled three sections of U.S. History. Capt. Thomas King, teacher of world and modern history, tried to develop an appreciation of man’s heritage, his culture and our society. Major James Fulkes, a veteran of 27 years on the faculty, taught economics and government to seniors. A well-known water devotee, he found his pct peeves those cadets who tried to blame others for their troubles.

Capt. Ernest Lehto, who doubled in languages and social studies, was a thorough taskmaster whose students scored well in district scholastic contests in the spring. 36

Daily recitation was a feature of Captain Lehto’s classes.

Physician for the Academy, Dr. Lawrence Epple, ’43, was a friend of all cadets, sick or well, lame or lazy. One of the Colonels’ greatest fans, he often patched up team spirits as well as bruises. Waving his Confederate flag, puffing his briar, wheeling his Model A, having a quiet chat with a cadet with troubles, or yelling “Get them carpetbaggers!.” Doc was a lovable campus character and one of the most loyal supporters of boys and all their activities.

Quartermaster and mess officer, Major Orrval Maupin, was one of the busiest men on campus, arriving before dawn, leaving after dark. He and Mrs. Maupin, dietician, served well over 1,000 meals per day to hungry' cadets and staff. Then it was back to the QM to put up that eagerly-awaited letter from home, fit a new pair of non-pegged pants, put up laun dry', flatwork or requisitions.

“A great fit!” commends the Ma jor.

Mrs. Martha Boyd, who died of cancer June 15, 1965, was a woman in a man’s world as head nurse in the cadet infirmary. Yet, better than most, she exemplified those qualities which the Academy tries to inculcate in boys as they grow to men—qualities of intelligence, efficiency, unselfishness, compassion for others, devotion to duty. Most important, she was a lady of great courage.

1964-65 started with the usual singing of the Na tional Anthem, and even then there seemed to be a certain spirit that characterized the cadet corps. It was true that the battalion was the largest in history, but there was much more to it. The spirit carried on through football, when the varsity went undefeated for the first time in 36 years. The corps’ appearance and morale was better. The basket ball team showed a unity in purpose, which was exemplified in its win over the sixth-ranked team •

in the state. The wrestling team worked hardest during the tri-military match late in the season, when enthusiasm usually wanes. The corps, on the whole, was completely excited at the prospect of marching in the inaugural pa rade; and when some cadets couldn’t go, instead of forgetting the whole thing, they remained en thused. The whole corps rose to upcoming GI and passed it with MMA’s thirty-fifth honor rat ing.

In academics, in the 76th year, there was a greater emphasis on scholarship by both the instructors and the cadets. This year, among the top ten per cent of students, there was a keener interest than in the past.

The cadets seemed to take a certain pride by wear ing their uniform with distinction; and, in their courtesies to superiors, by executing greetings and movements with a finesse that can only come from much pride and practice. The PMS said that the corps strove to be the best-drilled of any in the school’s history.

In discipline, a greater percentage of cadets won the maroon bar, six going demeritless for the entire year. The cadets seemed to concern themselves about conduct everywhere they went, as evidenced by the facts that no one really caused any trouble uptown, and that there were no incidents on any trips, even those home on furlough when there was usually a maximum of overly-cnthusiastic spirit. On the whole, this year’s corps showed the spirit that the seventy-sixth year deserved.

Bill was another member of the illustrious group of 2-year seniors. After his 3-year stint at MMA he left his mark with many good friends. His amiable, free-wheeling personality was one of his best assets, aside from his blue eyes. Bill ran into a few difficulties during the middle of his last year, which made him eligible to hold office in the senior private’s club. Although only 5' 10" tall, he was able to high jump most of it. He ended clearing over his height, and the future years will show him on top.

“Arb” was one of the most colorful seniors on campus. He participated in any activity that he had to or that he thought might be fun. This varied from getting tatooed to adventures with Christ mas trees. He was one of the best fullbacks that the football team had ever seen. Whenever they needed a few yards, they could count on “Arbo”. Another of his varied ac tivities included hi-jack ■ ing a church squad. Dave’s future will be funfilled, but it will lead “Arbo” to a respectable position in whatever he “I’m great!” chooses.

Dave, after coming here his junior year, left his mark on MMA. He captured the lead for the class valedictorian early in December of his last year. Through hard work and much studying, Dave kept it through his graduation. He was proficient in everything he did. His studying paid off with the honor of being commended by the Na tional Merit Scholarship society. Dave was always in a constant academic battle with his roommate, who urged him on to greater heights. Dave’s ability will be missed at MMA, but, as the old adage goes, “Our loss is someone else’s gain.”

He must have taken Shakespeare’s advice in “Hamlet” to heart: “Give ever)' man thy ear, but few thy voice.” Eric invariably went out of his way to help other cadets. He weighed only 127, mak ing him the smallest sen ior, but ever}' pound of him was full of spirit, as any of his wrestling op ponents might verify. Even though small in stature, Eric will be big in anything he does in life. 45

Bob was one of the class of cadets that will always be present at this institution. He was always glad to help you if you needed it. Bob had enough food in his lock-box to, in the words of our commandant, “feed the entire corps!”. He was an excellent horseback rider even though he was in the hospital for an injury inflicted by a horse. Bob had a fine discipline record during his four year stay at MMA. He will always be one of the best in whatever he de cides to do. o o

He was soon quoted as saying, “This is one adjutant who’ll get his rank back!”. Needless to say he did. Bob’s ac tivities at home were con fined to driving. He did most of it in races, drag races to be exact. His nickname was coined from his deep south herit age. His southern drawl will not soon be forgotten. Bob will make the best of his life, provided it doesn’t involve late in spections. 46 “After this, I’ll light a cross for you.’’

“The Buck”, as his friends called him, was one of the big men on campus. When he got an idea in his head, he tried to carry it out to the best of his ability. He was a avid sports participant, so much so, that he ran up and down the halls of “D” Barracks, the day of his first basketball game, mutter ing something about “180”. Athletics was what he most excelled in, but the future years will show him ahead in all other facets of life.

Rick was the guy who was always there when you needed him. He knew how to use his rank and knowledge for the betterment of the school. Christy had a good sense of humor, but always knew when a joke was carried too far. Rick, a great friend and inspira tion to all who knew him, will be a success in life if what he showed at MMA is a sample of what he will show in life.”

Rod was one of the few people whose nickname was fitting. ‘’Big Train” was active in everything that had to do with sports, football, track, boxing and wrestling. Rod did everything that was possible to do, which did not always include sports. * His personality could be called humble, but he best sums it up in his col lege choice. He says. ‘’I'm a beggar, not a chooser, but I’d like to go to Rice.” Rod is sure to get to the top in whatever he chooses to do in life.

Bob will be remembered either at MMA or in the town of Mexico. Cadets will remember him for some of the fine things that he did for them and a certain- person in Mexico will remember him also. Bob did every thing he could to help cadets understand what they were to do better. He had many experiences here that will help him to be a future success. These, coupled with his natural flair for being a leader in his field, will lead him to much success. 48

Martin was one of the hardest working cadets we have ever had at MMA. This is illustrated in the fact that he was only a PFC around t Christmas of his junior -year, but at the same time one year later was a Captain in command of “C” Company. He got in a little bit of trouble at the beginning of his jun ior year with dart guns and dogs but figured out it was easier to get a dog with a saber than a gun, so he went to work. He soon was the best acting cadet on campus. If Marty works in life as he “See that teacher over there?” did here, he will soon be on top in any field.

One of the better athletes on campus, “Ben” was always talking about sports or the next furlough. He had a lot of responsibility his senior year, with the com mand of the Color Guard, but he handled it with the usual perfection that he continually showed. Phil will be a success in his field, whatever it may be.

He could and would talk about anything from current events to girls to cars. Very fond of golf, although no Palmer, he is fairly good. With all these talents and ingenuities, he is going to be a very success ful person. Only he had better slow down a little in life and ride along with it for a while.

Duhart al way did his job and did it well. Although he wasn’t the best at everything he tried them all. We are sure that Armat will make a place for himsel

Although Greg ran into trouble in ’64-’65 he worked hard all the six years that he was here. He did well in everything that he tried. His personality will always be remembered in the minds of the cadets who knew him. He had, on Sunday mornings, much better food than most of the ca dets because of a skillet and money for groceries. This short period of homey comforts was short-lived because of the watchful eyes of the in spectors. Greg was always a sharp cadet and took pride in his appearance. He’ll step into life with the path laid out before

Max was always to be found where the action was. Whenever there was any commotion in “C”, you were sure to find him there. He had the perfect relationship with his English teacher. If you doubt that, just ask him about it. Ehlers was always ready for anything that could or would happen. During his last year, he decided to go out for company football. In this activity he did more lap-running than football playing but that did not phase him in the least. Always good for a laugh, Max’s playing should get him through life in good spirits.

Ron did a lot for his two years here, and had a lot of fun. His loyalty to home, which caused him to phone people, was his downfall. But he soon regained his old rank with some to spare. Ron was one of the better wrestlers during the year he was eligible to go out r for varsity. Ron did all he could in everything he could. He helped people whenever he could, which was any time that they had a problem. Whatever Ron decides to do in life, he will make the best of it.

Doug was a funny sort of guy, in that he sometimes worked and sometimes let the whole world go by. Every once in a while his temper would get the best of him, but he was always quick to see where he had made mistakes. Doug would most often be found during general leaves, riding around in a car that belonged to someone he was rather fond of. Doug would, whenever he had the chance, have fun, which often wasn’t the proper thing to do. Even though he had his faults, which most of us do, Doug should receive many honors in his life ahead.

But he came back as a senior with more deter mination than ever. Last summer, he stayed in a survival school for 3 weeks. It gave him faith, and the conviction that if he could survive that, he could survive MMA life. He did very successfully. He will be a great asset to his future associates and to Katie.

He participated in most of the activities that were available, from varsity basketball to drama. “Hunt’s” hobbies ranged from playing the guitar to breaking barracks. Unknown to most people, he was a track star, thanks to the training that he got in Maj. Stribling’s junior English class. How did you manage that, Lew? Aside from the usual ac tivities that cadets par ticipated in, Lew was infamous for his after Taps antics outside the barracks. Even though he was in trouble some of the time, he would always come out ahead. This trait will show up in his later life.

If you examine the Gallagher Boxing Trophy, you will find Ted’s name en graved on it. Aside from sports, he made a name for himself by his nationality. For awhile, no one knew exactly where Ted came from, Venezuela or Australia. One of his best assets was his flaming red hair, which distinguished him from most seniors. Ted will make his mark in life whether it is in athletics or business.

Rick did everything that was possible to make friends. He was very successful in the fact that he had more pals than most. He was one of the illustrious MMA Colonels in football, also was one of the best swimmers on the squad. To prove it, he earned a letter in every year that he went out for swimming. His goodnatured personality will be missed at MMA for many years to come, as will his appearance on Teardrop Lake during the ice-skating season.

Alex designed a good portion of the yearbook for two years and was the kind of guy who could draw any thing. He did a lot for the soccer squad, and kept a lot of people from doing rash things which would get them hurt. (He told them beforehand not to rush him when he had the ball.)

John was very easy to get along with, because of his fun-loving personality. He never gave anybody trouble, because nobody ever gave him any. John played company football as well as participating in many other activities. He had a few troubles uptown with the charming young ladies of Mexico. John was always on the run, even though it was away from them. He and his roommates had a perfect relationship with the Commandant. (They weren’t on speaking terms.) John will make the most of himself after graduation and will soon be a success in life. “This is only my second year; I’m lucky to 57 have held out this long!”

Pete was one of the smartest seniors this year, second only to his room mate. He loved sports in any form, his activities varying from track to football. Pete was one of the best players ever to have graced Capt. King’s soccer squad. He had a habit of having most of the commandant’s speeches dedicated to him. Pete was one of the highest ranking 2-year men when he came to M.M.A., but something happened to his status. He was very crusty in the fact that he often was seen at Bello’s Pizza House eating. All in all, Pete was one of the type of cadets that will go far

in life.

He was ood, if not excellent, when he wanted; but in activities he didn’t care or, he just was average. Nevertheless, Jim, on the whole, was rather iiccessful during the time that he spent here. He was one of the best journalists that we had. His first year at MMA he suddenly found him self writing the sports column. Jim was rather a sports personality, playing company football for 2 years and playing baseball for 2. Jim will be a suc cess in anything that he really desires.

“Poon” was one of the biggest men on campus. He had a good thing going in his new break fast drink, “Poon-Tang.” After an eight-year stay at MMA he suddenly found himself in com mand of “A” company. He captained the rifle team to a very successful season, leading everyone in personal averages, in addition to not once be ing defeated by any oppo nent. Hank will be very successful in life, whether in business or sports.

2,3. Rick was one of the most liked cadets on campus. He hardly ever said anything bad about anyone, and if he did, it was only in jest. Rick was always in the middle of anything that was going on. For some unknown reason, McQuay’s hair slowly receded until it was past the point of no return. His jovial, good nature could be pointed out with his consistent reference to all his school work as the “McQuay A.” During furloughs Rick could be found cruising around St. Louis in his Chrysler with his girl looking for. among other things, a place to empty his constantly-full ash trays. Rick will get as far in life as he wants to.

“Ollie”

“Ollie” had a lot of fun during the three years he was here at MMA. He did many things, from giving the commandant Valentines, desserts, and knives, to being academically rated third in the Senior Class. For the last eighty or so days, he was constantly worried about Commencement be ing a month or so too early for him. George had a few misadventures with a Christmas tree, only to find that he then needed a receipt. One thing that hindered George in his experiences at the Acad emy was his tendency to talk, which he used to the utmost. He believed in freedom of speech and was constantly voicing his opinions. George will be a success if he puts his “How sweet it is. Revenge!” mind to it and doesn’t

wander off tangents.

Jim was the “Music Man” on campus. It was unfortunate he didn’t know as much about re veille formations, which were the cause of his downfall. Jim was a mem ber of almost eyery mu sical group on campus, and organized the “Bird men.” “Buzzard” probably helped make this one of the best combos ever at MMA. He will always be thought of as the Drum Major of a great march ing band. Jim will be a great success in the adver tising field of today’s mod em world. 60

Robbie was one of the best actors on campus. He showed this in his appearance in the plays that were staged throughout this year. He was fun-loving in the antics that he participated in during his stay at “C.” Rob was the “Robin Hood” of the corps due to the fact that he was the best archer. When at home, during furloughs, he could be found at the beach with his surf board and wax, ready for fun. Rob will be an asset to the life that he chooses.

Although “Mort” got into a little trouble his first year, his senior year was shining. Whether it was in military, athletics, or around the bar racks, he did his job in an excellent fashion. He always gave a helping hand to anybody who needed it; for this he will never be forgotten by those he helped. These characteristics will help him to be a success in whatever he does in later

John got off to a flying start in his first year. He “peeled rubber” for a year, then developed generator trouble. John soon got back but then was discovered breaking barracks. After that he reformed and soon made back his missed rank and then some. But true to himself, he was having a little harmless fun which some officers labeled “inciting a riot”. He soon found himself in the same stew, but got out of that less his stripes. John will have his fun in life with a GTO, but he will soon settle down and become that whirl his potential predicts.

A-Rab was the tallest senior, towering over everybody in school. He was known best for his stories of the perils of the mean town of Chicago, in which he lived. Most of these were about as tall as he, which didn’t make them too short. He ran into a little trouble at the start of his senior year from an English teacher but came out of the rough water drier than an Arab. “Rab” will be a success in life in his chosen field.

Chuck was found in some of the most unpredictable places while taking pictures. Anywhere and everywhere you looked, you would find his smiling face behind his camera. Aside from picture taking, Reneau was active in other facets of M.M.A. life, such as football, weight lifting, and military. Chuck’s nickname was acquired in a ludicrous ceremony re sembling that of knight hood. His good person ality will be missed here. Chuck’s assets will place him ahead in his future life.

Rod only spent about a year and a half here, but he made a name for himself. He was very active in sports from the rifle team to the baseball managerial staff. At home his activities were confined to girls and smok ing the most odorous cigars in order to cover a certain peculiar odor that persisted in his car. All these efforts were to no avail. He was always mak ing jokes about most things that he could think of. His future will find him always forging ahead in anything he chooses to

do.

“Pooch I

“Pooch I” was one of the more ambitious cadets. During his 3-year stay at MM A, he had many troubles ranging from generators to spies. Pete’s only girl trouble was how to acquire enough permits to see them as often as he wanted. The car trouble arose from Pete’s junior year. The car he rode in suddenly developed some generator trouble around Spring field, which, coincidentally, was where the driver lived. En route to MMA last year, he somehow took the wrong turn and ended up in the local jail under espionage charges. After a day or so of that he was released. It was just a case of mistaken identity. As far as his life goes, he will have his troubles; but, as usual, Pete will make the best of them. “Here I can’t have generator trouble”

Sergio was of the top ranking 3-year men on campus. He attained this status through his diligent work and dedication to himself. Many people think that he did this in order to sec some one by the name of Judy. But they were wrong, weren’t they, Sergio? He was very friendly and he did a lot to make and keep the friends that he had. Most of the time he was seen in the basement of “D” with his room mates awaiting the arrival of someone. Sergio will make the most of his life, even if it isn’t in this country. 64

He ran into trouble in February of his last year, but got out of it even if it was without his many stripes. He did a lot to help people, but didn’t help his roommate get up for the 0630 for mations. Mike was one of the best natured men we had, in that he would seldom get mad at some one. But when he did, you would know that you had just committed a major crime. We are sure that he will be one of the top men in the Special Forces of the Marine Corps.

Cup 3. Charlie had a little bit of bad luck during his first and last years here with a stomach that didn’t function too well. This kept him out about 5 total months of his 3-year stay at MMA. But Charlie kept on working in spite of it, and was one of the highest ranking men this year. Charlie’s southern drawl could be heard any time around “D”. He was forever tell ing how the Miss America of 1963 came from his home town, and how every girl in the town was just like her. Charlie will be a success in life, if he will give it as much at tention as he gave duty here. 65

“Chip” was one of the most friendly cadets on campus. Everyone knew about his assets. The commandant was once overheard saying, after dis covering that the Fusileers were let out 20 minutes early, “With the likes of Russell, “D” Barracks could be destroyed by now!” At home Paul was well known, too, and had trouble with an overly heavy canoe one night. One last trouble was in nicknames; he had about five too many. Paul’s good natured, easy going way will lead him to much fu ture success.

Jim was the kind of guy that everybody kidded. Most of the time he took it in fun, but everyone soon found out that one couldn’t carry it too far. For Jim, the world seemed to be hinged around some place called Waupaca. Al though he was always glad to give a helping hand to others, he hardly ever asked for help. When given something to do, he always got it done, even if it was in a rather un orthodox way. Jim will surely be a great success in life if he accomplishes A as he did at MMA.

Gary did much for this Academy in many of his activities and will be a success in anything he tries.

He was the bugler, and you could usually find him, anytime there a formation, close at hand, out in front of the Administration Building in preparation for the bell. “Suzy”, when in the barracks, was full of mis chief and merriment. His jovial personality could be called upon to

brighten everyone’s day. He was usually on the move, in that you couldn’t locate him when you had to. Schulz will make the most of his life, as the future years will show.

“The Searce,” as he was known to most people, was one of the hardest working cadets on campus. He made lieutenent after being here onb three years, which exem plifies the amount that he did. Dick might make a good politician if he wants to, but his political activi ties were confined to Capt. Hodge’s advanced math class. Dick was head of the manager’s staff of the football team. His business ability was shown in his appointment as the head of the advertising staff of the Taps. Dick will be found on the top of his career in life. “But Sir, you won’t miss her for a night or so, will you?”

Dave’s skill as an athlete nearly overbalanced his “seeming” ability to grasp his study material. Captain of the swimming team really mattered to the “Spider.” When he finally had it in his grasp, it was only for a while, because he found himself ineligible to swim. Dave seemed to always be in a web of some kind, either ineligibility or get ting up early to study. His wonderful sense of humor will not soon be forgotten by cadets at MMA. Dave will have life by the tail, just going along for the

ride.

He was always ready to participate in anything that might do him some good. Ted was willing to help anyone who needed help. His last year, he put forth one of his typical efforts and ended up with a company football letter. Ted will do well in the future if he is to be judged by his past actions.

SPORTS

“Great! Tremendous!” These were the words of Coach Joe Bailey after the undefeated season in football. The corps hopes Dan Passick and Mike Leach can carry on the leadership shown by the seniors, who sparked a spirit that lasted through the 76th year of M.M.A. sports. Although the basketball team wasn’t undefeated, it showed a type of unity that brought them sailing through a tough schedule. “Arbogast and Schaffer” were all

you could hear from the corps after the two took third and fourth in state wrestling. The swimming team broke a 100-yard butterfly and breaststroke along with a medley relay record while the rifle team won Tri-Military for the first time. The spirit of 76 in sports carried into baseball, track, golf, and tennis; it was this spirit that made the athletic year a success.

downs. The Colonels’ line is not to be forgotten. Craig. Royer. Hoyt. Leach. Maupin. Rovik. J. C. Diesi. And Glenn. They did a fine job both of fensively and defensively, holding opponents to five points average per game. The amazing thing about this conglomeration of players is that they were always a team from the first kick-off to the final gun.

“The wrestling team did one of its best jobs since I have been coaching,” said Major Joe Bailey about the squad’s brilliant first place performance at tri-military wrestling. At that meet 7 Colonels took first, 2 second, and 3 third. The team’s success was due to grapplers such as 112-pounder John Cramer, next year’s captain; 165-pounder Gary Schaffer, and 180-pounder Dave Arbogast. Highlight of the season was Arbogast’s and Schaffer’s third and fourth places in the state wrestling tournament at St. Louis. They also won the first Keaton Trophy.

Enjoying a much better season than in 1964, the varsity baseball team won 6, lost 3, and captured a sub-district baseball championship. The underclassmen-dominated squad hoped for even better success in 1966, when it will be captained by Joe Nigro and Jeff MacLellan. Coach Ernest Lehto awarded 12 varsity letters and three provisional letters at season’s end. MacLellan proved himself a capable pitcher, taking the pressure off veteran lefthander Bill Schulz on several oc casions. Dan Passick, centerfielder, led hitters with a .643 average un til injured.

The Military Department was characterized this year by the hard working and proficient actions of its members. Not only the R.O.T.C. staff, but the entire cadet corps witnessed a re markable change in attitude and performance. The appearance of the largest cadet corps was remarkable and their winning of the Honor Rat ing was evidence of it. The new P.M.S., Col. Denmark C. Jensen, said,

believe that this is one of the finest cadet corps in the country, and you as cadets may be proud of being a part of it.” Later in the year, Jarnes Martin received his orders from e Department of the Army to put on his gold of th^ eftainly all could see that the activities atrue ‘?de*S Military Department showed a true Spirit of 76!”

Col. Denmark Jensen New P.M.S. Col. Denmark Jensen, new Professor of Military Science completing his first year at Missouri Military Academy, is a very dedicated person and an avid sportsman. The Colonel holds a degree in engineering and psy chology from the University of Idaho, and a degree in nuclear effects from the Department of the Army. Being a devoted person, Col. Jensen has spent the last thirty-five years working with Boy Scouts throughout the world. Among his hobbies are hunting, fishing, golf, bowling, and shooting. The Colonel’s pet peeves include ice-covered Missouri roads and people who fail to display proper courtesy. After retiring from the Army the P.M.S. plans to teach psy chology at the University of Hawaii. Col. Denmark Jensen

This 27-year veteran of the Army has helped greatly to make this a year to be remembered, not only by cheering on the undefeated football team, but also by contributing a portion of his life so that we as cadets are able to grow up in a free country.

Major James Martin had an active, but maybe not eventful, year with the military department. He was assistant Commandant of Cadets and the Assistant Professor of Military Science. The eleven-year veteran of the Army is an avid sportsman and states, “I like to climb mountains and shoot guns.” Cadets will be glad to have him back next year, not only for generosity in approving permits, but also for his effectiveness.

S/Sgt. Vallie Furlow, in his two-and-one-half-year stay here at the Academy, has left a deep impres sion of friendliness upon the corps.

Serving as Fusileer drill coach and “D” company football coach, the sergeant also handled track, boxing, and weightlifting. He was military super visor to Company “A”, which he nicknamed “Al pha’s Angry Angels.”

Sergeant Furlow, for all of your extra efforts, friendliness and time, this Taps section is dedicated to you.

Sgt. Moon coached “D” company football, varsity rifle and was military supervisor to “D” company. Sgt. Moon helped greatly with problems of cadets and will long be remembered for his winning friend ship and sense of humor.

Missouri Governor, Warren Hearnes, pins the presiden tial inauguration streamer on the school colors. The Fusileers were Missouri’s official marching unit at President Lyndon B.

BARR

The spirit of barracks competition for the 76th year was outstanding! Rank, academics, athletics, barracks cleanliness, and military were the main hubs of the competing wheels.

“D” seemed to house more scholars, athletes and rank than the other two companies. Billeting seven of the battalion’s fifteen officers and claiming four of the five designated ’65-’66 officers, “The Alamo ’ also seemed to boast its athletic prowess and won most of the intramural games.

“A” took second to “C” in the number of times their competition flag, for grades and barracks cleanliness, was raised; this was ironic, since “D” held itself high in most of the campus activities. Even to barracks Christmas parties and Heart Fund contributing, funloving competition and spirit satu rated the barracks. Yes, the spirit of the corps, from room to room and barracks to barracks, soared as high as the “nothing but the best” attitude of the corps would allow it.

Winner of Most Saturday Morning

“A” Company, which hoped to improve their cellar position over last year, started the year right with the addition of 40 new faces.

“A” finished third in company football. Their com pany basketball team roared back, though, and tied for first. “A” came in second in company wrestling.

Bemedaled Captain Hank Maupin, member of Delta Phi, winner of the Soldiers’ Bar and aca demic fourragee, led his company of 78 men throughout the year. Alpha Company, which led in academics from the beginning of school ’til Christmas furlough, couldn’t keep its pace after the break.

By the first of April, “A” had won company com petition three times and had won the honor flag three times.

Their company adviser, Major Charles Stribling, solved everybody’s problems from tours to room changes and was always in that green chair in the middle of “A” ’s midst when the men of “A” seemed to need him the most.

“A” Company Staff: Cadet Master Sergeant Robert Crider, First Sergeant; Cadet Captain Hank Maupin, Company Com mander; Major Stribling, Company Counselor; and Cadet Lt. Dick Seery, Executive Officer.

Captain Walter Grcbing, who lived in A-31, was known to keep men of the company in shape when he wasn’t coaching a varsity sport.

Pictured above are SFC Phil Davis, first sergeant; Capt. Martin Daily, company commander; Capt. John Reddick, company counselor; Lt. Jim Samples, company executive officer; and Lt. Richard Christy, company lieutenant. Davis, a two-year senior, was the first two year man in many years to become a first sergeant. 132

Lt. Stanley Tamarkin, the faculty officer living in “C”, helped keep the company in tip top shape, especially by keeping a close watch on “Max.”

Life in “C” was jolly, especially when small barracks meetings broke out in C-17 after Taps. While Ed Canavan, Bill Barnett, and Doug Eshelmen were busy bringing back groceries from town, the commandant was thinking of ways to halt their black market selling of sandwiches.

“C” Company housed three of the fifteen officers this year. Martin Daily, the com pany commander, was the kind of guy that everybody wanted to work for. “Marty” spent many a Saturday morning getting up at five o’clock to help clean the barracks for the morning inspection.

known as “Wick,” was one of the nicest and most considerate cadets at the Academy. No matter what he was doing, he always had time to help some body, or even clean the rears for inspection. Jim Samples, “C” ’s second lieutenant, was from the precious little town of Wapaca, somewhere in the sticks of Wisconsin, but he was proud of it. No town could turn out many boys like Jim. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and was al-

ways around when needed. The leadership and attitude of these three officers molded Charlie Com pany into a better place for all those who lived there. “C” also made a show on the drill field. She won the honor flag 11 Sundays and won the company competition 14 times. “C” also housed Dean Grimes, the cadet who proclaimed the best-drilled first-year man at the beginning of the school year. 133

4 After Christmas, “D” obtained the lead in aca demics and never relinquished it.

“D”, by the first of April, had won company com petition three times. The honor flag was won by this, the largest company, five times. By Christmas the fact was much known that “D” had only one commissioned officer, so by January, with a couple of room changes, “D” had three: Captain Gary Schaffer, Lieutenant Robert Burch and the newly appointed second-lieutenant, Charles Rumph. But Rumph was in the band, so most of his time was spent there.

“D” Company leaders: Lt. Jim Diesi, first sergeant; Lt. Charlie Rumph, band commander; Major Joe Bailey, company counselor, and Capt. Gary Schaffer, company commander. Schaffer worked for seven years at M.M.A. and finally found himself in command of the “The Alamo.”

Their company adviser, Major Joe Bailey, was al ways ready to help all who had problems. This was Major’s fifteenth year as “D” adviser.

The Bluedevils of “D” started their year with a first in company football. Their company command er, Gary Schaffer, was captain of the undefeated varsity football team. Their comical basketball team finished third. They finished another first in company wrestling.

The spirit of seventy-six was especially shown in activities this year. The Birdmen, led by Ernie Hawkins, sparked many of the informal dances, and pepped up basketball half times. The Band, too, did its part in the man[y halftimes, parades, and reviews, The glee club was also probably one of the finest the school has ever seen. Under the supervision of Lt. Fred Mauk, they have excelled many times those of years pre vious. Delta Phi will never change. They will always be the good natured group of individuals who stand ahead of the rest of their class and accept the privileges and re sponsibilities which come from being a Delta Phi mem ber. The cheerleaders have done their job to fire our

teams on to victory and console them in defeat. They are volunteers who liked their jobs and did them well. For the first time in 2 years a young group of actors, the Dramateers, in the course of the year did three fine plays. Last but not least, we in publications have had a good year. We have had much fun as well as a good feeling of accomplishment in putting out the newspaper, the Eagle, and the yearly Taps.

At a luncheon at Hotel Americana for 5,000 delegates, Major Stribling, adviser for 12 years, received C.S.P.A.’s highest award, the Gold Key. Dr. Joseph Mur phy, director, cited the Major for “out standing devotion to the cause of the school press, encouragement to student editors in their several endeavors, service above and beyond the call of duty, leadin the field of education, and support of the high ideals from which the association has drawn its strength and inspiration.”

Cadets’ lives at M.M.A. arc not completely comprised of military and academics—there is a social side too. A young man’s education is not complete without some social preparation. Four annual large dances were held in this, the 76th year, with not only record crowds but also a greater spirit than ever before. More informal class dances this year than ever before added to the morale of most of the socially-minded cadets.

Military March, National Colors Fun appeared to be had by all—cadets, dates, parents, and faculty—at the 17th annual Dad’s Day Ball, the first formal of the 1964-65 school year. It seemed a good beginning. Cadets commented that the tempo of the music was occasionally increased over the past years. With cur rent dance trends this was favorably accepted. For first-year boys, their dates, and their parents, it was an initial attendance at an M.M.A. formal. And there were three more yet to come, as well as several informals scattered throughout the social calendar.

Cadets, parents, alumni, and dates danced to the music of Fred Simmons and his orchestra.

Cadet Harry Hoyt, battal ion commander, and date, Barbara Baker, led the first grand march of the 196465 school year followed by Gary Schaffer, Martin Daily, Hank Maupin, Bob Rabinoff, Bob Burch, Col. C. R. Stribling, Lt. Col. Elmer Jackson, Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm, Col. Den mark Jensen, Major Paul Cherches, Major Joe Bail ey, SFC Dean Tarrant, MSgt. Robert Moon, the cadet corps, dates and par ents.

The Academy’s combo, which performed at all dances, was the “Jokers Wild.” Members were Dan Von Jenef, Ernie Hawkins, Ken Tinkcom, guitars; Wayne Tinkcom, drums; and Joe Nigro, vocalist.

Couples not only enjoyed the band and dancing but also took advantage of Mrs. Ralph Ward’s soda fountain and candy counter. Some even read news papers and magazines.

SCHOOL

Classwork, barracks housekeeping, athletics, mili tary—Dad’s Day, Mother’s Day, trips to Mark Twain Cave and Bagnell Dam, a visit with Gov ernor Hearnes, Commencement—these and a few more played important parts in the life of the Junior School cadet in the seventy-sixth year. Junior Schoolers impressed by trying to outshine everyone else in everything they did. Even the most

171

calloused must admit that “B” looked better this year than in most. This was seen at reviews, where the Junior School won more than their share of flags, at mess formations, where they looked better than some of the upper school barracks, and everywhere throughout the day. Whenever you looked at the Junior School, they looked good!

Lt. Col. Bailey, Mitch Wrenn

Lt. Col. G. David Bailey

Lt. Col. G. David Bailey, Commandant, a jovial man with a brisk pace that most cadets found hard to match, was known for his quick and flippant retorts he produced out of a normal question. Col. Bailey en joyed taking the cadets firing on the rifle range, when time permitted, although he jokingly commented that his wife said that he liked the boys more than he did her. With his dog, Buttons, at his heels, Col. Bailey is perhaps one of the busiest men on campus. When asked how he keeps up his hectic pace, he quips, “I believe that no one should be a quitter. Keep working right till the finish.” Major Dcrrill Kuhlman, Principal, was a popular faculty officer. When a boy walked into his office for counsel, Maj. Kuhlman, although busy, still tried to straighten out and help the cadet. Rather silent, Maj. Kuhlman preferred not to say anything unless it applied to the matter at hand. When he did speak, it was well worth remembering. As assistant commandant and athletic director, Major. George Piper was usually very well acquainted with matters going on. His pet peeve is the fact that the drummers in the band room always seem to be “beating the skins” during his history classes. In spite, Maj. Piper got things done extremely well and was quite amiable to all cadets. Captain Kenneth Mortensen was the English instructor, the coach of the Eagle teams in football and basketball, and one of the two military directors. Having moved quite near the <campus, Capt. Mortensen was al ways on hand to help when needed. His “trademark” on campus is the 1950 Chevy he drives while his wife “uses the other car.” The son of Major George Piper and other military 7 ? director in the Junior School is Major Robert Piper, who also lives quite Maj. D. Kuhlman Capt. K. Mortensen Maj. D. Richardson near campus. Major Piper is what one might call the “straightener.” During military formations he corrects the cadets’ errors and was very just when it came to making decisions. Major and Mrs. Darius Richardson live in the “B” Barrack annex, Headquarters. Although Major Richardson was stricken ill toward the middle of the year, he quite successfully recuperated and was on near active duty by May. Mrs. Richardson, the instructor of some of the sixth grade classes, was loved by the boys as a sort of “second mother.”

Maj. R. Piper

The newest addition to the Junior School faculty, Lt. Robert Shellman, joined the faculty in January to help while Major Richardson was re covering. Lt. Shellman, known for his closeness and understanding of the cadets, was liked as though he were a long-timer on the faculty. Lt. Shellman held the lightweight golden gloves tournament championship in the middle 1950’s and was always eager to elaborate on some of his experiences in boxing.

Fall activities included football, which consisted of six games in regulation uniforms and equipment be tween the Eagle and Lion teams. Tennis, under the instruction of Major Robert Piper, served as a prac tice for the spring. Softball was directed by Major George Piper and was sometimes replaced by horse manship.

In the winter, cadets participated in wrestling, swimming, and basketball, all of which were intramurally conducted. Each cadet attended each of these three sports for a week at a time, and at the end of the season a tournament was held. Those who showed exceptional proficiency received athletic honors, in cluding letters and medals. During each of the ath letic sessions, a period of calisthenics was held to lim ber up the boys.

Both Lions and Eagles practiced fundamentals in Sep tember before inaugurating the football season. 181

In times like these when man

goal his imagination can de vise, it is reassuring to know

that our youth is armed with learning and with character.

Therefore, in institutions such as M.M.A., which promote learning and mould character,

lie our best hope of the future.

WE SALUTE YOU------ M.M.A.!

Thank you, Boys — Thank you, Teachers —

Thank You, Major —

AND Thank you, Colonel Stribling! Our son Rick graduated this May after 4 fine years at M.M.A.

During those 4 years we knew

Rick was in good hands. Rick was happy. We were happy. We’ll really miss M.M.A.

What makes a place “wonderful’’? It is PEOPLE! Good, honest down-to-earth, fine PEOPLE. We’ve met boys, teachers and parents from all parts of the country — right there in that

sleepy little town of Mexico, Missouri — and what wonderful PEOPLE!

In this sleepy little town of Mexico, big things happen at M.M.A. There is a common spirit

that lifts both young and old to the very pleasant feeling that “WE ALL BELONG. WE’RE ALL PART OF THIS WONDERFUL M.M.A.!’’ THANK YOU, Boys, for being polite, helpful and friendly.

You fellows have made us mighty happy these past 4 years.

THANK YOU, Teachers, for the good guidance and wise counsel you have given our boy, and all the other boys. AND—

THANK YOU, Colonel C. R. Stribling, Jr., and Major C. R. Stribling, III,

and Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm. Your Leadership is outstanding. Your personal touches keep things running smoothly. Your kindnesses lend credence to the brotherhood of man. Your strong beliefs in God, Country and good, old-fashioned

Americanism are inspirational to one and all. And best of

all, you’re HUMAN. And just ONE MORE “Thank You’’, probably the most important by the way. This is to the LADIES of M.M.A.! For instance, to the lovely and queenly Mrs. Stribling. Whether greeting all in the

Reception line, or just a hearty “Hello’’, Mrs. Stribling is the very essence of graciousness. And there are Nurse Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Maupin, Mrs. Lamm, and on-and-on. ALL those valiant Ladies add refinement and “homey-ness’’ to this revered Institu

tion. Thank you one and all, and may God Bless You!
