Wh-cre the Action Is

Action at Missouri Military Academy is different from that at any other school. It echoes in the halls of barracks, it groans and sighs on athletic fields, it pounds in the hearts of successful scholars and organizers, it cracks on military fields; but most of all it explodes every minute of every day in every different but important being on campus. In today’s mass of I.B.M. people, so many fail to see the importance of activity within a group. As a group, M.M.A. values and favors action as an individual would prefer a gushing, tumbling, stream to an obscure, gloomy moor. In the living quarters, action found cadets groping for individuality in decorating rooms, in forming musical 2

groups, bringing hometown jargon to barracks conver sations and exchanging tales of past experiences. On athletic fields action perspired from the faces of striving sportsmen attempting to distinguish themselves by being stars in varsity games or matches. Action in competing drove many boys to the books in effort not only to get ahead in class rank but also to en rich their vault of knowledge. Not only class rank but also military rank was an asset to seniors and under classmen. Active leaders rose to be noted as responsible and prepared. In the following pages the staff has attempted to depict action as it offsprings for individuality on a uniformed campus.

was most act’ve ar|d changing month of the year. kJ vp/IV/111 L/Vl New cadets learned to conform to Academy rules, old cadets came back and viewed changes all around the campus, the most radical being the construction of the field house, one of the largest buildings in the state. The 78th year, 325 cadets met from 22 states and ten countries including Australia, Arabia, Germany, Guam, Honduras, India, Italy, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. After learning the ropes the first week, recruits joined veterans in a three-week prep aration for October’s Dads’ Day festivities. The band and Fusileers, too, were preparing for an engagement in November to play at a Kansas City Chiefs half-time show. Besides military life, the academic circles were augmented. Four new courses were added to the curriculum. Freshmen could select earth science, while seniors could choose physical science. Still other new courses were humanities and advanced business prob lems, open to all. On the bright side of the month cadets saw many exciting happenings. Four football camp returnees took an early educational tour to Miami but spent too much of their money on cigarettes to tour too much of the state. Pep rallies were the most active gath erings on campus while Dobyns’ still attracted the usual mob for Wednesday afternoon coffee and confections. “A” Barracks seemed to take an early lead in the company competition but lost it at the earlier part of the next month. “D” Barracks footballers appeared as if they would capture the title but were in for a surprise. “C” Company, as usual, housed the loud est record players. All in all, many surmised correctly that the oncoming school year would be a chang ing, surprising nine months of action.

WaS events °f such importance that the 31 days seemed to pass like hours. Dads’ Day, Homecoming, varsity and company football games, formal and informal dances, trips, and drill periods contributed to the activity of the two-month-old battalion. During the active Dads' Day weekend, over two hundred couples gathered for the formal ball at which Fred Simmons provided music. For the cadets, the Jokers Wilde played at the intermission. Drill competition earlier that day was a big attraction. Jack Tips won the plaque for the best drilled new-year man, while Ron Grob won the old boys’ honors. After the drills were over, the campus crack drill team, the Fusileers, exhibited an impressive and entertaining performance. After the Fusileers came a buffet luncheon on front campus for all. Following the meal, the Dads saw the Colonels defeat Wentworth, 20—6 on the grid. The day was truly eventful. The next afternoon cadets passed in review in honor of some 200 visiting Dads. Homecoming was equally exciting. “D” Barracks won the decoration with their theme. Bat Cave, defeating “A”’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin and “C”’s Yellow Submarine. Grads took part in competitive drills, attended a review in their honor and exchanged tales of old time at a dinner held at the Mexico Country Club.

The Fusileers’ and marching band's trip to a nationally-televised ChiefsPatriots halftime show, “A” company’s breaking a drought by beating “D” in a 7—6 thriller and winning the battalion football championship for the first time in 26 years, and the TAPS staff learning of its highest possible Special Excellent rating and being ranked fourth of 38 books in the state were just a few of the major excite ments of the month. The Dramateers staged one of their best performances in recent years, “Stalag 17”, under the direction of Captain Courtney Durham. 12 recruits earned the dis tinction of being recognized as privates and members of the battalion. Clad in winter uniforms, the corps bowed their heads for a moment of prayer in honor of Veterans Day—all in biting November weather!

was the short month that seemed to take eternity to pass. It was the month of Christmas furlough, of Even song, and the freshman dance. Anxiety mounted as the fifteen days of the month of December slowly passed. Plans and boasts were made, only to be outdone by the yarns on returning to school. Evensong drew the usual crowd of parents as it has always done. In sports, the Meatheads and Figs battled it out for the soccer title. Weightlifters began their toilsome task to becoming junior Charles Atlases under the competent guidance of Coach Tom McKnelly. Wrestlers, swimmers, riflemen, and courtmen fought just as hard to secure a winning record. December’s grade averages were the highest of the year. Ken Tinkcom, Dirk Gress. Jim Goldin and Kent Yoest led their classes in honor points. As the month drew to a close, the days were already being counted to the winter break and the Valentine Ball.

Intramural sports such as soccer saw rugged games in rugged weather until the latter part of the month, when the field house was finally completed. At this time all those participating in non-varsity sports teamed and split for physical exercise and basketball in the warm new facility. Athletic trips, early nights, cold formations and warm food inspired the battalion to move on to the winter break, making progress all the time.

The dedica tion was highlighted by a battalion review inside the building. Cadets anxiously tried out the new facilities and were soon quite al home. The educational tour to Nassau was successful, according to the travelers. On returning, the cadets who were on the trip were prominent by their unusual tan for the month of February. The Valentine Ball was the talk of the campus im mediately after the short winter break. The junior classsponsored ball was considered to be one of the best in recent years. After the short intermission, cadets around the cam pus were fairly flying with preparations for the various functions throughout the month. As March drew near, plans for the annual Govern ment Inspection were being drawn up, signifying the final weeks of school.

The Pop Concert, like December’s Evensong, was held the night before the furlough. The campus Glee Club and Concert Band displayed a professional performance for both cadets and townsmen. Letters and awards were granted at the winter sports banquet where Phil Russell, Ray Kleissle, Javier Gonzalez, Ron Grob and Mike Foster were designated captains elect to their respective sports in 1967-68. After the furlough cadets had a multitude of events to look forward to: the Seniors’ Tulip Ball, preparation for G.I., Mothers’ Day and, finally, Commencement—yes, March marked the beginning of the end.

Senior Lorie Nigro accompanied the queen, Miss Cathy Cyr, Kansas City. Athletes turned out with anticipation of wet brows during warm practice-packed afternoons to defeat foes on the playing grounds. Trackmen, co-captained by Bob Clasen and Dean Grimes, deserve special note for an unblemished season. Military-minded majorities prepared for and had great expectations of an outstanding Government Inspection. The Commandant’s, S.A.i.’s and Battalion Commander’s notebooks of April promoted one main thought: “Prepare for G.I.”; their thought was fulfilled to the fullest with total cooperation. April, the core of the last 100 days of action, was wellreceived by smiling, happy cadets in the mediety of Spring.

came thoughts of graduation and summer activities. It also brought the annual Gov ernment Inspection, the State Drill Meet and Mother’s Day. M.M.A. retained its honor rating as Colonel Robert Ingalls proclaimed the Academy in as good a shape as he had ever seen it. The Fusileers came home with a first place trophy from the Columbia drill meet. The Fusileers out-drilled and out-scored fifteen other ROTC drill teams, both college and high school. Mother’s Day brought cadets’ mothers to the flower pinning ceremony and the Mother’s Day Review. The weekend that had been anticipated for such a long time finally arrived. The graduation activities were varied with drills, reviews, ceremonies, and parades. As the flag came down for the final time, many realized that a milestone had passed.

The occasion was seventy-eighth Commencement exercises, first to be held in the new field house. Three graduating cadets shared top honors. Alan Jacobs won Legion of Honor, the Hooten Fellowship Cup, the Harris Cup for soldierly qualities. Jim Best won the Wall Cup and the Ireland Trophy for a fighting heart. Kendall Tinkcom was first in the class of '67 academi cally. Senator Symington said he vigorously concurs in “what M.M.A. stands for and means to be.” He called for congratulations for “a half century of outstanding service to American youth by our friend and fellow Missourian, Col. C. R. Stribling.” Largest crowd in history—nearly 1,700—attended three days of exercises, climaxed by Au Revoir cere monies, playing of “Taps”, lowering of the colors, and that final shout as caps were hurled into Teardrop Lake.

Wliere the Action Is

I f

Four new courses were offered to the Upper School at M.M.A. last year as a result of the recommendation of the North Central Association evaluating committee. They were humanities, an aesthetic and creative course in the allied arts, which are music, painting, sculpture, architecture, and literature, taught by Major Paul Cherches; freshman earth science, which deals with astronomy, geology, and meteorology, taught by Capt. John Reddick; advanced physical science, a history of science and scientific thought from 500 B.C. to now for juniors and seniors not taking chemistry or physics, taught by Capt. James Marley and Capt. Reddick, an experiment in team teaching; and advanced business problems, which deals with problems of consumers, taught by Capt. Thomas O’Brien.

ACADEMICS AND ADMINISTRATION

Three new teachers joined the M.M.A. faculty last year. They are Lt. David Steinmetz, from St. Louis, Lt. Gerald Ramponi, from Virginia, Minnesota, and Lt. David Leamon, from Independence, Missouri. Lt. Stein metz, a Missouri University graduate, taught four classes, three elementary algebra and one world history as well as coaching varsity athletics. Lt. Ramponi, a Minnesota University grad, taught four classes, two general math, one algebra, and one advanced math. He was a coach of both varsity and intramural athletics. Lt. Leamon, a C.M.S.C. grad, taught four sophomore English classes, coached intramural athletics, and sponsored M.M.A.’s literary magazine, At Ease. Cadets Ken Tinkcom, Dirk Gress, Jim Goldin, and Louis Adolf led their classes in grades last year.

8 Administrators Run the Academy The job of running the upper school at the Academy is given to eight faculty officers, known as administra tors. It is through their leadership that cadets at M.M.A. are molded into men. They strive to make the Academy a better school in all its phases. The commandant is responsible for the discipline of the corps, the quarter master for supply, the athletic director for physical fit ness, the music director for bands, the director of ad missions for prospective cadets, the vice-president for public relations and personnel, the principal for academ ic work, and the president for all phases of school life. These men set the example and are always prepared to handle a cadet’s problem. They coordinate all activities affiliated with M.M.A. and are the forces behind any change in policy. Col. C. R. Stribling, president of M.M.A., speaks to Cadet Jerry Trump; his father, Walter Trum, ’43; Duke Leslie; his father, Jim Les lie, ’46, on Dad's Day.

During the year Major Charles Stribling headed the English Department, which stressed grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary as well as providing interesting books for cadets to read. Major Stribling, Vice-President of the Academy, taught a junior honors English class, and was advisor to the school’s news paper and yearbook staffs. Colonel C. R. Stribling, President of M.M.A., instructed a senior honors English class mainly in Shake speare. Capt. James Giles, Assistant-Com mandant, taught three senior English classes and one junior English course. Capt. Fred Mauk taught two junior English classes, three Private Music courses, and the • Glee Club. Capt. Charles Vines, Commandant of Cadets, instructed one freshman honors Eng lish class and one sophomore honors English class. Lt. David Leamon, one of M.M.A.’s new teachers, taught four sophomore English classes, and was advisor to At Ease, the campus’ literary magazine. Capt. Courtney Durham instructed three freshman English classes, one junior English course, and Drama. Capt. Thomas O’Brien taught three typing classes, one advanced Business Problems course, and one Bookkeeping class. Mr. Al fred Luongo, Baldridge Reading Skills in structor, taught cadets how to read faster with more comprehension.

The Social Science Department, headed by Major Joe Bailey, consisted of four classes: World History, Modern History, U.S. History, and Government and Economics. Major Bailey taught three U.S. History classes a day as well as performing his duties as athletic director. Capt. Ernest Lehto taught one of the Modern History classes and three Latin classes. The other Modern History class was taught by Capt. Courtney Durham, also an English teacher. Lt. Thomas McKnelly taught four World His tory classes and a second year Spanish class. He may teach Russian during the 1967-’68 school year. Lt. Jack Mason taught Government and Economics. 30

The M.M.A. Math Department, under Capt. Mok Tokko, last year rewrote its syllabus, a concise statement of the main points of the course. This was a change from the traditional to the new, wherein one syllabus will cover the entire depart ment instead of having a different one for each course. The syllabus encourages a program best suited to cadets’ needs and gives them a proper and sufficient math background for college work. Also it helps new teachers by showing them exactly what to teach so they will teach the subject, not the textbook.

In order to keep a healthy, happy, atmosphere in a military school, certain services must be rendered. It can only be a success when there are people that know how to work with, and help 300 cadets. One of the most noticeable things was the beautiful appearance of the campus. Caretaking was done by Mr. Russell Jerichow, Raymond West, and their staff throughout the year. The cadet lounge was the place where cadets looking for re freshment and recreation were found. Under the splendid dedica tion to the school by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ward, the cadets were able to relax from the monotony of military life. Everyone has some days in his life, when he just isn’t feeling up to par. For this reason, the infirmary, under the direction of Mrs. Ethaleen Chaney, Mrs. Tom DeGroodt, and Mrs. Bertha Vore, was always available to all. Last but not least, were the haircuts of Mr. Dallas "Peck” Osterhout. He was on campus everyday to make sure that 325 boys kept their haircut schedules.

Civilians Serve In Many Ways It takes more than just faculty officers and cadets to run the school and battalion. The many orders, memoranda, and “stick sheets’’ have to be typed and prepared to inform the battalion of the daily duties, and special promotions or reductions in rank for the cadets. Four secretaries were employed by the school to do those jobs. They were Mrs. Warren Graham, secretary to the President; Mrs. Dale Sumpter, the commandant’s secretary; Mrs. Charles Heberer, Lt. Col. E. R. Jackson, the director of admissions, secretary; and Mrs. Charles Kehl, who had the job of secretary to Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm. Miss Edna Bickley was more than the school’s librarian. Each period she was the tutor to any cadet that needed help with an assignment, and between periods, she was always tracking down the people whose books were due. The enormous job of preparing the daily menu for the cadets was well-handled by Mrs. Orrval Maupin. It isn’t easy to plan three meals a day for over three hundred hungry boys, but a very nourish ing meal was served at every mess.

WTiere the Action Is

On the following 36 pages are the names, faces, and captured “Action” of this year’s corps. Some have graduated and are now starting the best, most trying, and most ambitious parts of their lives, college. The others, well, their day will yet come. The graduated will have to live up to a high-standard, mechanized world or be pulled under with nothing to show for their efforts. This corps was highly rated for its quickness of pace with the times. The cadets adopted new sayings, started fads and were always on the go.

Craig Riecken The underclassmen sometimes found it hard to keep up with the 50 seniors, who set the speed for ’66-’67 as all graduating classes have done in the past and will do in the future. Cadets’ exploits always caught a few in their tide, but none were happier than the cadets on the last day. They hit the mark for fun and study as well as most of their generation did, if not better. Missouri Military Academy has done all it could to prepare the graduating class for the future and the underclassmen for advancement. This is their book and their thoughts expressed through a year of fun, fear, and laughter. Meet the M.M.A. battalion, 1966-67.

Class Officers, Sponsors Led Cadets in Outstanding Year The class officers on this page are an active example of the spirit of this year’s corps. These selected cadets led their friends and school and even classes to great heights. The cadets on the following pages of this section and of other sections show why they were such a great corps and will be remembered in the future. The freshmen, who were new to the high school surroundings, had the hardest period of adjustment, but pulled through in fine style. Being the youngest class, it had its difficulties but seemed to overcome them and started to have dances for the school in the middle of the year. The Sophomore Class tried a different twist in this school year by holding two trips to Mark Twain Cave and several dances. This seemed to be accepted by the corps, and their class found the bus always full. The juniors had a new problem of sponsoring a formal ball. They did this in fine style and it was a success. The class of ’68 found that being seniors of next year wasn't going to be an easy road. The juniors also had many successful informal dances in the lounge. The graduating class was a powerhouse this year and was usually found in the lead of everything. Their projects ranged from cleaning the senior pond to having one of the best formal Tulip Balls in years. As a class they donated a new trophy case to the field house.

James Franklin Best ’67 Senior President Eldred, Illinois; Co. “D”; Cadet Captain; Delta Phi 1,2,3,4; President 4; Top 10% wreath; Soldiers Bar 2,3,4; Varsity Basketball 1,2,3,4; Varsity Football 1,23,4; Varsity Baseball 23,4; M-Club President 4; Fusileers 23,4; Best Drilled in State 4.

It has often been said that the better man has a chance to get ahead in a military life. Jim was definitely one of these, because during his four years at the Academy there were very few goals that he didn't achieve. Best was often found explaining a problem that seemed difficult to other members of the bar racks. This trait led him to both Senior and Delta Phi presidencies. The Eldred native was always interested in the tasks set before him. During his senior year Jim was Captain of “D” and three varsity sports, football, basketball and baseball. Jim will not be forgotten in the future and his accomplishments will stand “for many moons”.

Larry was an outstanding figure in the Alamo. He was the calm and easy going type of person everyone liked. “Dancing Bear" had a certain determination which kept him going after others had turned back, because of lack of self confidence or lack of purpose. This spe cial quality was used several times in his senior year, when certain decisions had to be made. Certain to go far if he applies this later in life, he plans some sort of active service after graduation. Ballard spent a lot of time showing off his mod-clothing; he was often seen dancing around as if he were a “Where the Action Is" kid. During his junior year won a medal in battalion wrestling. This shows that he will be able to cope with life.

Jerry Dean Baughman Jerry was one of the hardest working and most loyal cadets at the Acad emy. He was willing to help anyone with a problem. He did not mind giving up some of his own time if he thought his help was needed. Bauf had the abil ity to remain calm in situations which called for quick and accurate thinking. It was not very often that one could find Jerry in a bad mood or yelling at a fellow cadet. All during his junior year, Baughman had to work extra hard in order to come from behind and gain the position of company commander. Whenever the situation looked bad for his company, Baughman was able to think of something to say to keep the morale high. Had it not been for Jerry, “C” might have been at the bottom of everything.

During his years at the Academy, Tom was always active in some organization. He was a varsity golfer, and an important member of the glee club. Cadets always enjoyed listening to Blanding sing during the weekly vesper service. Tom was one of the most agreeable cadets on campus. He would often go out of his way to please someone who asked a favor. Blanding had one quality which almost everyone envied —his ability to lead. He did not have to tell a person to do something a second time, because the cadets who followed him were willing to cooperate.

Donald Allyn Bunchman Don is another one of the many two-year seniors who grace the ranks of the class each year. Don was one of the guys who took a nickname that you'd never figure on. His was “Green”, which was hard to understand with his red hair. At the beginning of his senior year Don decided to have fun but at the same time keep his marks up by taking five subjects. This kept him from many things that he would have liked to do. But he was sure the studying would be of more help. During his years “Green” could be found on the football field or the golf course playing his heart out. His one major quality was that he would never give up on anything, whether large or small. This one quality will surely last throughout his life.

Every morning, noon, and evening, the Southern drawl of Lan Burch was heard by the class of '67. He had followed directly in his brother’s footsteps by becoming the battalion adjutant during his senior year. On his off-duty hours, Lan spent endless hours courting the fair damsels of Mexico High School. If it weren’t possible for him to leave campus, a telephone could be found under his control. Burch also spent a large amount of his time in the swimming pool, which led to him being captain of the team. In the spring his contributions were to the baseball team as he stood in the lonely outfield. Lan was definitely one of the neatest cadets on campus, and a fine example of an officer.

Mark Alex Otto Busse During his four years at the Academy, Mark was always involved in some musical activity, whether it was the concert band, the marching band, or the drum and bugle corps. Busse was one of the few cadets always willing to lend a helping hand to a friend in need. In this manner he made himself quite useful around the campus. On Saturday nights and other special occasions, one could find Mark operating the projector in such a way that each cadet could enjoy the film. On Sundays, “Bus” became the electrical technician, operating the flow of light in vespers. His tremendous sense of humor some times got him into trouble, but it also helped many others to get their spirits up when they were down. Busse’s ability as a speaker helped him to gain the Wallace Fry Speaking Cup in his junior year.

Mike was a loyal member of the marching band, the drum and bugle corps, and the concert band during his two years at the Academy. Although he was a rather quiet cadet, he had no problems in making friends. The people who knew Campbell well respected him for his willingness to work and his prompt obedience to orders. Oftentimes Mike could be found in his room listening to some of his favorite Al Hirt records. When he wasn’t doing this, Campbell would wander through the halls in an attempt to pick up some weird noises on his tape recorder. He often played these tapes for his friends during the middle of the night. Mike was seen many times running through the hall in a vain attempt to make it outside to blow his bugle be fore the bell stopped ringing.

Robert Arthur Clasen Bob had a very successful career at the Academy. All three of his years were highlighted by his accomplishments in the field of sports. He was an important member of the football, wrestling, and track teams and certainly added a lot to the success of these squads. Bob was also a member of organi zations which call for outstanding cadets, such as the Color Guard, the MP's, and the Fusileers. Although Bob wanted to enjoy his share of the fun, he was willing to stop when the time for work arrived. He was always prepared to help a friend with a problem. Almost everyone on campus liked Bob because of his great sense of humor and friendly attitude. One of his favorite pastimes during his senior year was talking about his experiences at Gaslight Square in St. Louis.

Dave was a leading swimmer while at M.M.A. Ever since he began swimming as a freshman he went to the tri-military meet and placed first. He also went to the district meet and received a medal. The spirit of breaking record times seemed to be at its peak his senior year, when he broke his own mark in an individual event and contrib uted to a medley relay record. Dave was known as the team's chame leon. because of his ability to adjust his speed just ahead of his op ponent’s. He could be seen with towel in hand during general leaves, walking down to practice for oncoming meets. More than anything, “Corpse” enjoyed lying around the barracks, contributing to the current bull sessions.

Thomas Dale Diggs Almost every year a hero is born among the younger cadets be cause of his ability in athletics. Dale, one of the larger boys on cam pus, became this hero because of his talents in football, wrestling, and track. During his two football seasons “Animal” became quite ac complished with his large number of tackles. Everyone waited with anticipation for Diggs to wrestle his next opponent because of his tremendous strength. During the spring, he could usually be found hurling the shotput. Diggs tried to meet the educational tour in New Orleans during the winter months, but found they had already em barked.

Because Deane was the battalion commander’s roommate and an officer, his senior year was full of duties and responsibilities. But in spite of all this “Dot” knew how to have a good time. If there was one thing that he really enjoyed, it was the dances in the canteen. Once his feet started moving, it took an hour of silence to calm him down. If this failed the Commandant was always there to give a help ing hand. Deane was one of the toughest members of the football team. If you don’t find Deane on the road from St. Joe to Kansas City you will probably be able to find him on the dance floor, dancing his way through life.

Ricardo Gonzalez Flores When “Speedy” first arrived on campus three years ago, his English was quite limited, but his hard work and concentration made him one of the better cadets by Christmas. It seems as though every time cadets would see Ricardo he would have a smile on his face. In addition to his other accomplishments, the Latin-American was quite an athlete. During the winter months he was found swimming the long distance races. His abilities in these races as well as the base ball he played in the spring helped him to become a member of the M-Club during his senior year. Ricardo’s friendly attitude and his ability to solve many a problem made him one of the successes on campus.

Web came to the Academy at the beginning of his freshman year and re mained for four years. During this period he met a large group of people and gained their friendship and respect. Green was the kind of a person that could teach basic fundamentals to recruits, and help them with their problems. He liked to be a part of all the intramural sports, soccer, basketball, archery, and others. If he weren’t found on the athletic field, one could usually find Web in the Cadet Lounge or in his room listening to the latest record in pop ular music.

Dean Christopher Grimes If there was anything Dean liked, it was to be a winner. It made little or no difference whether it was an athletic event, or something in the academic department. He was one of the few cadets to make First Order Private in October ’64, and the only new cadet to win a plaque for his drill performance. Dean later followed this achievement to take first place in the State Meet. Grimes became an active mem ber of Delta Phi during his senior year, and, therefore, spent much of his time helping others. During his last year Dean played varsity football. It was often the joke that Dean spent more time running off and on the field than he did playing.

“Deano”

Ernie was one of the most versatile cadets on campus. When he decided to do something, he learned fast and this helped him tremendously. On weekends one could usually find Hawkins gliding over the campus in his rented airplane. On those occasions when he couldn’t leave campus, he and his associ ates worked on developing the best sounds in combo music. The Jokers Wilde, as they were titled, played at many of the informal dances and during basketball games in the winter. Hawkins, the drum major, led the marching band through all reviews and parades.

Dowell Edward Holdgraf When Dowell set foot on campus, he was one of the quietest and biggest cadets. By the time Christmas furlough rolled around, he was a lot noisier and a lot trimmer. His noisiness can be attributed to the corruption of four cadets in D-33. At the beginning of his senior year, Holdgraf was the highest ranking corporal in “C” company. He held this position for approximately twenty-four hours because of a long, dark trip to St. Louis. However, after his return, he began working and soon regained his stripes. Dowell was a favorite among cadets because of his vast supply of witty sayings.

Bruce was one of the most ambitious cadets on campus. In fact he oftentimes became so restless with one job or sport he had to switch to another. In the short time of two years he was a member of the basketball, swimming, football, and baseball teams. Howe spent an enormous amount of time studying for the next test, or quiz, but he still found time to court the young women from town. During his last year he became a member of the color guard. At other times, when the guard wasn't needed. Bruce could be found in the ranks with the drum and bugle corps. Bruce’s talents were quite diversified during his years at the Academy.

Lester Steve Hupprich Steve was one of those guys who always had a good time no matter where he was. “Chopper”, as his friends called him, was one of the most-liked cadets in the corps. His fun came in many forms and shapes. One of his best findings his senior year was his ability to play basketball and always keep one step ahead of the commandant. Characterizing his good traits were his sense of humor and his ability to find a little good in the bad things in life. He ex celled in this to the extent others came to him for help and guidance. This is surely to be a great thing to have in the life ahead of him. 50

Chuck was the kind of guy who likes a little bit of everything, from the way out to the innermost part of living. In his four years at MMA, Ince had accomplishments coming out all over. His list included the most serious, honor cord, to the fun sports. “Injun”, which he liked being called because of his part-Indian blood, had the same feelings as most of his tribe and that was “Why do the Indians get the short end of the deal in all westerns?” Chuck settled down in his senior year to acquire not only rank but an evergrowing list of friends. He had one very noticeable quality, and that was his ability to keep cool in almost all aspects of life. Chuck’s hobbies ranged from war and anarchy to motorcycles and travel, with parties, girls, and money not far behind. His ambition of law should work out fine.

Alan Korach Jacobs In order to be the number one man at any job, you have to be able to set the example at the most difficult times and in the most difficult situations. Such was the job of the battalion commander, Alan Jacobs, '67. Jake was always ready to offer a helping hand to anyone who needed it. This helped him to make new friends and keep the ones he had. This was contrary to the belief that the battalion commander couldn’t have friends. Alan was also quite active on the sports side, playing center for Colonels' football and participating in wrestling, track, and baseball. On the military side, Alan received The Chicago Tribune medal. The Superior Cadet Award, and the Permanent Soldiers Bar.

During his years at the Academy, Jerry excelled in marksmanship. This led to his becoming captain of the rifle team his senior year. Kinnett was a very active member of the marching band and the drum and bugle corps. On Sunday afternoons he helped the other members of the band prepare their uniforms and instruments for the review. Jerry had exceptional talent as a writer and often-times constructed excellent works in poetry and prose. Kinnett was an experienced cadet willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. He and his roommate spent a large amount of time discussing their hometown and slates.

John Byron LaScelle Barney’s first year at MMA was that of a freshman recruit living with an old head, Ken Tinkcom. It’s not likely that he will forget the nights he and his roommate got up early in the morning, eluding the night watchman, took showers, and cleaned their room. Barney joined the marching band and the concert band his first year. Drumming became his favorite ’64 pastime, and he was soon inventing new drum beats to be heard at mess and review. Barney was also occasionally with the Jokers Wilde performing before the cadet corps. When asked about what his four-year hitch at Missouri had accomp lished, he claimed, “It has made me a reputable shoe shine boy and an experienced waiter”, but those who knew him realized that his abilities had not been tapped. A great number of personal friends will remember LaScelle’s imitations of dogs, old men, and other unmentioned characters.

Duke starred for the “A” company football team in ’66; he scored the win ning touchdown to break a 26-year losing streak. It would seem that he had a lot to be proud of when he graduated from MM A and recalled the year they surprised everyone. Aside from being entertaining on the football field, Leslie displayed his musical talents by producing mellow notes from his trombone as well as bass guitar. Friendship is a highly desirable trait with which Duke was characterized. He played bass guitar with the Jokers Wilde and loved every chord he formed. “He really craved music” said Bill Shoemaker, the singer of the group. “Off I go into the wild blue yonder” was Leslie's pastime during general leaves. He put in many expensive hours of flying time to finally obtain his pilot’s license.

George Wilcox Louis George seemed to find a great deal at MM A, as he enjoyed the life in the barracks with other boys his own age. Often called Fat Louie because of his weight, he found it difficult to raise his temper even though others would have been tempted. After playing tootball lor "A” company his junior year, Louis was reminded of the sweat and hard work that lay before him if he went out his senior year. George was found on the softball roster when fall athletics arrived. It would seem probable that he regretted this decision: “A” company won this year. Louis favors the good in life and not the wallowing in arguments and disputes. This characteristic should insure a pleasant life for George when he strides out to reap his share of success.

Mike was one of the most jovial cadets on campus. His good nature made it possible for him to make many friends. Had it not been for an unexpected trip during his junior year, he would probably have been one of the higher-ranking seniors. Mac started his last year with all odds against him. but soon proved that he was worthy of rank and responsibility. It was during his senior year that he be came a member of the Fusileers and the MP's. One thing that was noticed by everyone was the fact that he worked for what he re ceived. This quality will surely make him a success in life.

He was well-liked by all and usually was the center of all things going on on campus. He did come to MM A for an educa tion, and he did achieve this by being mostly in the honor sections, which he discovered he liked because of their challenges. His drive and challenging attitude will be of great help in the future. 54

Curt was one of the most fun-loving cadets at the Academy. He was noted for his outstanding ability to wiggle his ears. Although people often tried to kid Mavis about being a “dirt farmer", he would always have the last laugh. When Curfbegan his senior year, he was the second highest-ranking corporal in “C” Company, and two days later he was the highest, after his roommate took a trip to St. Louis. Throughout his senior year he was a hard worker and a great friend to many. This friendliness will undoubtedly pay ofT in the future.

Lorie Francis Nigro Smoothie Lorie was a real old pro at figuring all the angles. During the five years Lorie was at MM A he developed a steadfast loyalty to the standards in which he believed. This must have been a good practice, for Nigro attracted many friends. Lorie was more than the words “friendly" and “cheerful" can describe. He considered his closest friends prized possessions. During the spring athletic season Lorie could be seen pursuing the sport of tennis, which he captained. Lorie believes confidence is a major asset which contributes to suc cess. By this measure he plans to follow in his father's footsteps and become a doctor.

Bob began his senior year with a big crunch, for he played fullback for the “C” company football team. For those who happened to be in his way, it seemed appropriate to say a few words of prayer. When football season ended, Bob was not ready to turn in his pads. Big O said, “There's always soccer.1 It’s with the same enthusiasm that he played this game. Keen on auto me chanics, Bob parallels interests with his father, who sells foreign cars. He hopes that some day he will be able to make a profession of selling fourwheeled beasts.

Peter Park Texas is a state tremendous in size, but it will never cope with the ambition of Pete Park. His attitude was evident by his ability to re turn to campus as the highest ranking N.C.O. his senior year. Pete was an important member of the swimming team during his three years and was a member of the M-Club. Among his favorite pastimes were attending the many informal dances and talking about his many adventures on the Texas frontier.

Manuel was well-liked by the entire corps and his stern, serious character earned him due respect and friendship. He was the quiet type, but never shy; he always entertained his friends with good humor, or stories about his country. When Pellicer arrived at MMA, he was never considered a new boy, because he adapted himself so rapidly that all thought that he was a veteran. Among other things, Manuel was a good athlete who dedicated very much of his time in exhibiting his vast knowledge ofjudo and karate.

Janies Owen Price To the new cadet Jim was a real friend and helper. He had one of the best all-around attitudes towards recruits of anyone around. “J.C.”, as his friends called him, was a good cadet who participated in practically all sports and was a solid member in the MM A Band and its organizations. Jim found a variety of friends during his three years as a'cadet and was happy to tell anyone that he was a friend of theirs. Price had a sense of humor that couldn't be matched and a taste for good literature. (2,000 Insults for all Occasions). This will surely lead him on the road to success. 57

One of Bob's strongest interests was in sports. It made little dif ference to him if it were on the football field, the basketball court, or the track. He was always striving to make the Colonels number one. Bob gave up a good many of his general leaves just to be part of the sports program. He also gave up a few during his junior year because of an unexpected trip home. Price never let a mistake ruin him though, and came back to become an officer during his senior year. At this time he also received the permanent Soldier's Bar award. The Price of achieving friends was never too expensive for Bob.

Christopher Barnes Reno “Creamy” was often the big scene on the dance floor as a result of his agile movements. His interests in every task set before him made him one of the better cadets on campus. He was always willing to take somebody’s duty, or fill in for him, on a job. These traits helped him to start the year off as first sergeant in Charlie Company, and become an officer before Spring Furlough. Reno was often found spinning yarns about his home state, or discussing plans for the next furlough with his roommate. On occasions, Chris would gather members of the barracks and spend the afternoon spin ning records. 58

When Bob first arrived, he was quite shy and it was rather seldom that he ever spoke. Before Christmas furlough of that same year he had befriended many people and involved himself in numerous activ ities. Since Reynolds was quite active in the band, he was able to secure himself a position in the Drum and Bugle Corps too. Sports also devoured a large part of his time, and he was one cadet that took them quite seriously. During his three years he participated in football, wrestling, and track. On the occasions he was free from school, one could find him mingling with the fair damsels of Mexico High.

Craig Frank Heeney Riecken Any time there was a mixture of buffoonery and trouble-making going on, Craig would be found in the middle. It was seldom that “Rieck” was ever caught in action. In fact, he was quite willing to give a helping hand to those in need. He participated as a member of the track and golf teams, along with company football, basketball, archery, and other activities. Craig had special talents for writing, which was shown by his articles in the school magazine and his work in the yearbook. During his off-duty hours, he could be found uptown discussing the newest records or clothes, or with his room mate discussing their next action. 59

During his two years at the Academy, John proved to be one of the hardestworking and most cooperative cadets. If something needed to be done in the barracks, Schweiger would surely volunteer. He could often be found checking the rooms on the first floor of “D” Company in preparation for Saturday inspection. His hard work and outstanding characteristics led to him receiving the permanent Soldiers Bar. John was quite agile in the field of athletics. He was a guard on the varsity football team, and center on the varsity basketball team. His devotion and his hard work made John a great asset to these squads, and in the years to come these will continue to be of great help.

Dean Ure Shippey Dean was one of the men who came to get a full education. Dean, who pre ferred the nickname of “Ship”, was one of the best liked cadets on campus. His personality always came through on the sports field or the mat. He found that friends came easy, but the work came hard. This came under what Dean believed, and that was “You have to work for anything you get even if it’s the easiest of jobs.” This Ship tried to follow. Sometimes he ran aground, but his many friends helped him to recover. Shippey knew that friends are the most important things in life. His easy-going attitude should guarantee his happiness. 60

Bill led a very unique life. He valued friendship higher than anything else, but excelled in many other campus activities. Shoemaker edited the campus newspaper and yearbook, led the Jokers Wilde in the singing department, wrestled on the varsity squad, and ranked in the upper-third of his senior class. “Shu” was once the highest ranking junior, with a half dozen stripes on his sleeve. The red-head was as popular uptown as he was on campus and never forgot his special friend in North Carolina. His incomparable wit, phi losophy, and tales of California will never be forgotten.

“Country Ken”

Kendall Loren Tinkcom “Tink”, as he was called by his elite group of friends, was the man with the most year stripes on his sleeve. This showed up well, for ever since Ken had been at MMA he headed each successive class in academics. He had many other talents that ranged from athletics to music. His musical talents were outstanding in the fact that he played six instruments. Although at times he was faced with unpleasant situations, he always emerged with a tempered disposition. For these reasons, as well as many unmentioned, Tinkcom will often be thought of by his many friends and instructors. 61

When Alejandro came to the Academy, he knew little about the American way of life. At first he found it difficult to make friends, but after he began to learn the language, he became as popular as anyone could hope. When “Ali” found a friend in trouble, he was more than willing to help. Torres was one of the best soccer players the school has ever seen. He loved to make contact and was not afraid of the consequences. This courage was also demonstrated on the football field, where Alejandro was one of the better halfbacks in the company league.

“Wally Stump”

»4^

Jerry Dwight Trump Often called “Wally Stump,” Jerry was one of the more comical cadets on the campus. With a careful look and some quickness one might have caught him in a disagreeable moment. During his four years at M.M.A., musically talented Jerry adapted himself to the playing of the saxophone, piano, organ, and drums. With an addi tional zest to acquire more knowledge, he continued to concentrate on these instruments. A friendly officer and a helpful person to the newer cadets, he worked diligently to improve his own position as well as those about him. For Jerry the future holds many an un struck note; it will be his job to play them sweetly.

When Joe came to the Academy at the beginning of his junior year, he found it difficult to adjust to the strange environment. But by the beginning of his senior year, he was one of the outstanding cadets on campus. This fact is evident by his receiving the Soldier’s Bar and becoming a regular campus M.P. Ubach was one of the quieter cadets on campus, which made it hard for people to get to know him. However, the friendships he did make won’t soon be for gotten.

Edward Lawrence Vogelpohl When M.M.A. received a young man by the name of Vogelpohl in ’64, the top-ranking members of the Sophomore Class in academics held their breath. A new actor, fresh and eager for the play, had arrived upon the stage and challenged them to a-duel. By his senior year he had beaten all but one and in the home stretch proved to be the other’s worthy opponent. A lover of competition, Ed played half back for the Colonels' football team. He dove through the line with accuracy and determination to make yardage every carry. Eddie plans a brilliant career after studying law in college. It is a certainty that he will succeed in whatever he attempts.

Carl was well-known around campus as the man with the camera, be cause he was constantly taking pictures for the yearbook and the school news paper. This involved a large amount of time and a large amount of running to capture the action at just the right second. The camera wasn’t the only object he could shoot, as he was a valuable member of the rifle team also. Carl was a friendly person, easy to become associated with. He usually kept the friends he found, too, because he was willing to help them.

Thomas Craig Wisdom During his six years at the Academy, Tom was one of the most active cadets on campus. Whether it was in sports, military, or some other activity, he would always give his best. His sincerity and will ingness to work was a quality which helped “Wis” throughout his school year. This fact is shown by his being a “B” Company officer during his eighth grade year and “A” Company commander during his senior year. In the field of athletics, Tom was one of the best at the Academy. Wisdom was among the few cadets in the history of M.M.A. to receive varsity letters in football during all four years of high school. Tom also participated in varsity track, basketball, and tennis. No matter what sport he was in, Tom proved to be a great aid.

“Whiz”

Larry was one of the more active cadets on campus. He was always willing to take a duty for someone that had been caught in a bind. When he wasn t on duty, he could be found in one of two places. The cadet lounge was one of his favorites, and engulfed a large amount of his time. His other interest was his C.B. radio, through which he sent messages. As for sports, Larry was a tennis man, and was always willing to teach a new member of the squad techniques. Woltzen was one cadet that freely expressed his opinion, whether he was right or wrong.

Richard Dan Wormhoudt One of Dan's favorite pastimes was his acting. He was a member of the Dramateers both years, and had an important role in almost every play. He became one of the higher ranking corporals at the start of his senior year. He was able to hold this position throughout the year because of his willingness to work, and his thoughtful co operation in company affairs. It was very seldom that “Worm’s” name ever appeared on the report sheet. His favorite sport was foot ball and, although he wasn't big enough for the varsity squad, he was a terror on the company field. 65

Bob. residing for the most part in Kansas City, Missouri, found it hard to resist an occasional trip to the Kansas side. He also found that a friendly trip to visit some friends in football camp was costly. Bob began his senior year as a private, but quickly picked up two stripes. Back in his sophomore year Bob was a first order P.F.C. and at the graduation ceremonies had the honor to receive the neatest room award. In his junior year, he had the prestige of winning the best-drilled cadet award. When Bob graduates, there are many places he wants to go, and many things he wants to do. Whatever they are, he will do his best.

Theodore Thomas Zimmerman Zimmerman, in his two years at the Academy, found the going rough like most people, but came out unmarred. “Skeeter” was a well-rounded cadet who advanced through the ranks quite easily. On the athletic field he was captain on the “D” company football team, member of the varsity basketball team, and also participated in varsity baseball. He was a cadet of diversified interests and hobbies, which led him to be one of the radio announcers on the bi-weekly KXEO broadcasts. Tom was noted for his eagerness and willing ness to tackle any job, anytime and anywhere. This quality was admired and envied by most of the class, and will surely lead him to great heights.

The class of '68, the juniors, was led last year by Presi dent Tom Troll, Vice-President Tomas Simmons, and Treasurer Dirk Gress. Gress was also leader of the class academically, followed by Richard Els and George Da vison in the second and third spots. The juniors were very active, sponsoring an informal dance and the Valentine's Ball. The informal was held at Mismilaca on Oct. 29 and was one of the big successes of the year. The Valentine Ball was held on Feb. 11 when Diane McMahon of Kirk wood, Missouri was crowned queen, escorted by Cadet

Ernest Lehto, who believed this to be “the swinging class”. Some members spent four days decorating for the Ball during study halls and general leave and they decided that it was well worth it. The class of ’68 has produced leaders who have and will excel in the corps and will drop into the places left by graduating seniors.

Sophs Sponsored Trip to Twain Cave The Sophomore Class of ’69 was led by President Eddy Eggerichs, Vice-President Bill Stoddard, and Secretary Mike Wrenn. They were the second largest class on cam pus with 60 cadets. On Nov. 12 the 10th graders sponsored a trip to the Mark Twain Cave in Hannibal. On Jan. 13 they sponsored a trip to Boonville to watch the Colo nels and Kemper play basketball. Both trips were chap eroned by Captain Mok Tokko, the class sponsor. The class academic leader was Jim Goldin, followed closely by John Paddock. The sophs were the most energetic class on campus, although some of their energy led once in a while to mischief. All things considered, by the time the cadets in this class become seniors they will be ready to accept the responsibilities and privileges with which they will be endowed.

Where the Action Is

Competition at Missouri Military Academy this year was intense! Jim Best, Lan Burch, Bob Clasen, Dean Grimes, Chuck Ince, Jerry Kinnett, and Lorie Nigro all captained their respective sports to active wins and losses, hard play, and most of all, spirited desire to win. Football finished with a winning season as did wres tling, swimming, track, and tennis. All the sports, how ever, drew large crowds and merited much attention in most of their battles. The field house, newly constructed this year, was a

1 great asset to the many athletic-minded cadets. It made good exercise available every day no matter what the weather was; it provided for the new sport of fencing and made company basketball practice feasible. Whenever one thinks of the athletic program at the Academy, he must never forget the work contributed by Major Joe Bailey, the director of athletics. The Major planned all the away and home games, and scheduled the transportation and meals amongst a multitude of other duties.

Once again the players of varsity football followed tradition at M.M.A. The corps thanks them for putting on a good show of both physical and mental attitude on the gridiron. The team of ’66 will also remember the coaching staff of Maj. Joe Bailey, Capt. Ernest Lehto, and new line coach, Lt. David Stein metz. The coaches' hard work and the players' sweat and toil put together a fine 5—3 record. Capt. Jim Best did all in his capability to make this Colonel team one that will be remembered in the coming years. For the third year in a row the team was able to present the gold football to Col. C. R. Stribling. Another aspect that helped the team greatly was the fine play by first-year varsity men Mike Foster, Gary Sweaney, Owen Moore and Mark Frazier. Managers were also present any time the players wanted some water or a towel, so to Dick New, Dave Bryant and Phil Russell went the thanks of all team members. Dr. Lawrence Epple and the nurses in the infirmary kept the team members on the field. 79

Jim Best, the Colo nel’s captain, ran 8 yards in the sec ond quarter for the first M.M.A. TD of 1966. Tom Wisdom carried over from the 11-yard line in the third quar ter. But the game ended with the ca dets on the losing end, not able to catch up with the Knights, 17—12. Failure to show any air attack hurt the team in the late minutes. Best’s only completion was to Chuck Ince for a 17-yard gain. Sept. 23 the Colo nels evened their record by spilling the Wentzville Indians, 13—7. Ed Vogelpohl put the team on the score board in the first quarter with a 10yard run. Maj. Joe Bailey came up with a trick play, letting Owen Moore, a halfback, throw to Bob Clasen for a TD. Wisdom ran for the EP. When the game ended the Colonels had run 127 yards and passed for 19. Pat McGee averaged 50 yards in punting.

Split with Rivals The Colonels played Western Military Academy Octo ber 1, and lost, 12—2. The game started to be one of the best defensive battles. In the first quarter Pat McGee kicked a 55-yard punt to help get the Colonels out of a hole, leaving the Raiders on the one. Dale Diggs trapped the Raider runner between the goal posts and got a safety, which gave the Colonels two points. On the last play of the first half, the Raiders were 10 yards from the goal and attempted a pass; it failed but there was a flag against M.M.A. Western got to take the play over and the pass was successful for a T.D. The E.P. failed. A min ute and a half into the last quarter the Raiders scored but failed on the conversion. Dad’s Day, the Colonels defeated Wentworth Military Academy, 20—6. Jim Best, quarterback, scored the first touchdown on a sneak from the one-yard line. Gary Sweaney booted the E.P. to make the score 7—0. Four minutes into the third quarter Mark Frazier shook the stands with a 53-yard run. Ed Vogelpohl attempted to run for the point. Wentworth couldn’t move and was forced to punt from the 15-yard line. Buell, the punter, was tackled on his own 10. Mike Foster scored the third T.D., and Sweaney kicked the twentieth point to make the score 20—6. 83

Colonels Slaughter Fayette After Loss The Principia Panthers defeated the Colonels October 22, 28—13. Two of the Panthers’ touchdowns were scored by M.M.A. punt failures. Barry Wann of Prin cipia soccer-kicked all four extra points good. Jim Best pitched out to Mark Frazier for a 28-yard sprint. This appeared to start the Colonels’ rally; three plays later, fullback Ed Vogelpohl ran 12 yards off-center for the first T.D. The extra point failed. 1:07 into the fourth quarter, Mike Foster ran five yards for a T.D. The E.P. failed. Foster, filling in for injured Bob Clasen, scored a T.D. and Tom Wisdom, replacing injured Mark Frazier, scored two touchdowns as M.M.A. beat Fayette, 31 —12. The Colonels scored the second time they had the ball. The touchdown came after a 12-play series that covered 49 yards. Wisdom went over from the one-yard line on a plunge. Owen Moore passed to Foster for the extra point. In the third quarter Wisdom took a pitchout from Jim Best and went 19 yards for a touchdown. Foster went 50 yards for the third touchdown. Best scored the fourth to make it 25—0. Ed Vogelpohl sprinted 57 yards off tackle for the final touchdown. Fayette scored 2 touch downs and no extra points in the fourth quarter.

“A” Won For First Time In 26 Years

For the first time in 26 years a football team from “A” Company won the battalion league championship. The Green Wave finished with a 2—1 — 1 record. The players will remember the final minutes of the “D” game and spirited talks of coaches Tom McKnelly and Walter Grebing. “A” Company’s win was without a doubt the big gest surprise in company sports for the last five years. The first day of practice only 17 boys showed up. They were picked last by the sports writers of the “Eagle”. Not one player on the team had played varsity ball or earned a medal in last year’s league at the end of the season. Duke Leslie, a three-year starter for “A”, was awarded the plaque for being the best back in company football. He will be remembered for his continuous drive, both on offense and defense. After their second touchdown in a game against company favorite “C”, one of the players remarked, “We’re ahead, guys!” In their first game of competition “A” handed “C” company a 12—6 loss. A’s other victory brought them the title, but the game was hard fought down to the final minute, “A” winning over “D” by 7—6. Leading scorers for “A” during the season were backs Leslie, Steve Bean, Ray Gammon and end Steve Glazer.

“D” 2nd, In Football “D” and “C” companies, who were slated to take the first two spots in intramural, football, ended in second and third places, respectively. “D”, with a 1 win, 1 loss and 2 tie record, was the big threat to “A” in the next to the last game of the year, but the Blue Devils lost the most thrilling game of the year by a 7—6 margin to “A”. “C” was predicted to win the championship because of more experience, but the Raiders ended the season with a 0—1—3 record. “C” had two 14—14 ties split with “D” and “A” and a 7—7 tie with “D”. “C” ’s one loss was in its second game, 12—6, to “A”. One bright spot for the “D” squad was the running combination of Bill Stoddard and Mike MacPherson. All coaches agreed that the ’66 company foot ball season should be known as the year of ties. Between “C” and “D” there were a total of 5 tied ballgames. “D” company’s lone win came from the champion “A” squad by the tight score of 14—13. Good performances were put out by “C” players Bob Price, Bob Oweft and Doug Payne. To the company teams of “C” and “D” goes the pleasure of lots of hard work by the coaches and their own performances. Bob Price of “C” attempts to break away from four “A” Company tacklers.

Colonels Beat Hickman on Mat A fine 6—2 record was established by the grapplers of ’66-’67. They placed 2nd in Tri-Military. Major Joe Bai ley and new coach Lt. Gerald Ramponi did a swell job coaching the boys on moves. Captain Chuck Ince did a splendid job as a team leader. The highlight of the season was a 22—19 victory over Hickman, which had placed 2nd in District. At the sports banquet Maj. Bailey awarded 16 varsity letters and five provisional letters. Ray Kleissle and Phil Russell, three-year team mem bers, were elected co-captains for ’67-’68. Travelbags were given to the squads of future years by this year’s team. Seniors Dale Diggs, Dean Grimes and Chuck Ince posted perfect 8—0 varsity records.

Price Neared Cage Record Basketball for the Colonels ended not so happy in 1967, as the team won only five games and lost nine. There were some achievements, though. For example, Captain Jim Best was chosen as one of the outstanding players of Ledgerland. Senior Bob Price had 39 points against the Eagles of MSD, only two short of the MM A record. Although the Colonels had a mediocre season, they played an outstanding game against Silex, beating them by the score of 60—49. Three men were in double figures that night, Pat McGee, Best and John Schweiger who hit for 15, his best total in two years. MMA had another fine night in a gallant loss to New Bloomfield by the score of 75 to 72. Best, McGee and freshman Tom McNally hit for 16 in this gratifying loss. Even though Captain Walter Grebing’s boys lost their first game in Regional to Mark Twain, 52—72, juniors John Miller and Javier Gonzalez showed future hope for the team. This year’s team will graduate some fine senior players, like Jim Best, Bob Price. John Schweiger, and Tom Wisdom. The junior varsity finished with a 4—7 record. New coach, Lt. David Steinmetz, and Coach Grebing put together a pretty fine team, considering they had five freshmen and one returning man from last year’s squad.

This was the first time in three years that “C” had neither won nor tied for the basketball title, although two men on the all-star team were from “C.” The all stars were Bob Clasen of “D,” Dowell Holdgraf of “C,” Bruce Howe of “D,” Alan Jacobs of “A,” and Doug Payne of “C.”

They were Mike Foster, Dean Grimes and Bob Clasen. Lt. Tom McKnelly, varsity track coach, stated, “It was a much closer contest than the score shows.” A battalion boxing tournament is held every spring. It takes 99% nerve and 1% skill to go out for this sports activity. “A” Company won the title, claiming the most champs. “A” winners were Marshall Weems, Bob Kelly, Ed Vogelpohl and Dean Shippey. “C” winners were Ronald Puhi and Alejandro Torres. Jim Best was the lone “D” star.

Trackmen Compiled 4—0 Record At the beginning of the season, it looked as though the MM A Colonels would have a poor year in track. Lt. Tom McKnelly, head coach, and Capt. Mok Tokko, as sistant coach, seriously doubted if the final record would include one victory. However, the cindermen compiled a 4—0 mark in dual meets, a 1—0 record in quadrangulars, and a 0—1 record in triangulars. The only loss came during the tri-military meet, with Wentworth claiming first, the Colonels second, and the Kemper Yellowjackets third. Throughout the entire season, Bob Clasen proved to be the most important member of the squad. His success was highlighted by the fact that he was undefeated in dual meets. This was quite an accomplishment, con sidering that he competed in the shot-put, the 100 yard dash, the 220 yard dash, the 880 yard relay, and the long jump. Coach McKnelly said of Clasen, “Bob is a fine athlete and a hard worker. I only wish we had ten more like him.” The only near record-breaking time came in the trimilitary meet when Scott Simpson turned in a 2:10.3 for the half-mile run. His time was only .1 of a second over the standing school record. As Simpson is only a freshman, Coach McKnelly is looking forward to a new record next year. Bob Kelly pulls across the finish line to end the mile relay.

Riflemen Noteworthy Even though the rifle team did not finish the season with the best record (3—6), they did record some note worthy accomplishments. Captained by Jerry Kinnett, the team sent four firers to Little Camp Perry. The four, Ernie Hawkins, Dana Dabney, Ron Grob, and Kinnett fired a 955, the best the team had done in six years. The rifle team finished fourth in the Mid-West Rifle Matches held at Culver. Ernie Hawkins was high scorer with 247, followed closely by Jerry Kinnett and Dana Dabney, both with 227. The team’s captain-elect, Ron Grob, a four-year veteran, was the number three man on the team and should prove to be a boon to the '67-'68 team. Capt. Jerry Kinnett is seen at the sports banquet.

Swimmers Broke Records The swimming team was never seen practicing—their toils went unnoticed. Even in their meets the individual player’s skills were seldom viewed as a football or basket ball player’s are. They practiced and played in closed rooms, not on open fields or courts. However, the swimming team made much progress over previous years’ teams. They were considered “the best team in the history of the Academy’’ by their coach. Captain Mok Tokko. Captained by Lan Burch, the Colonels ended the season with a 5—1 record. Mike Foster will captain the swimmers next year. “The greatest swimming team ever” broke 12 of 16 records this year.

Freshmen Star In Baseball

♦

The baseball team played only six games in the short spring season. Although the Colonels failed to defeat any of their foes, they promoted a majority of freshmen stars for the next three seasons. Next year the diamond men plan to have more contests and better their records. Mark Frazier, Kim Pleggenkuhle, Rick Taylor, Mike Clark, all freshmen, and team captain Jim Best were responsible for most of the team’s success on the field. Frazier, an agile shortstop; Pleggenkuhle, a third baser of some note; and outfielder Rick Taylor led the team in batting. Clark and Pedro Riojas were terrors on the mound. The most trying game of the season was a home con test against the Paris Coyotes, an 11-inning, 8—4 game in which frosh Riojas and Clark did superior jobs both at the plate and on the mound. The batting averages for the team were; Pleggenkuhle, .400; Riojas, .375; Taylor, .263; Frazier, .200; Ed Eggerichs, .200; Tom McNally, .200; Ricardo Gonzalez, .200; Tom Troll, .154; Jim Best, .118; and Gary Sweaney, .111.

M.M.A.’s golf squad completed its best season in recent school history (5—1). Captain Walter Grebing completed his second year as the team coach; he has compiled an 8—3 record for two years. The following boys made considerable contributions to the team: Steve Bean, Steve Glazer, Alan Jacobs, Cary Morris, Ned Thanhouser, John Hallums and Mike Wrenn. The team finished third in Tri-Military, and 13th in District. Steve Bean was elected captain for the golf team. Bright moments could be ahead, since next year’s squad will contain six returning lettermen. The “B” team golf squad compiled a 2—1 record by defeating Mexico and Centralia. Tennis fared better than usual, as the team came in with a surprising 2—3 record. They beat such favored opponents as Mexico and U-High of Columbia. A second place finish was captured by the squad in Tri Military. Capt. Lorie Nigro, Kent Kimball, John Miller, Tom Zimmerman, Randy Etzkorn, Dana Dabney and Doug Payne were the players who made the greatest contributions to the team. Lt. David Steinmetz coached his first year of varsity tennis. John Miller, a junior, was elected captain for next year. The addition of the new fieldhouse made it possible for practice and matches to be held in threatening weather.

Intramural Sports Attracted Cadets One of the roughest sports on campus was soccer. Coach Vallie Furlow was a firm believer in the sport because, as he said, “The human body is a miracu lous thing. All of the bruises and cuts will eventually heal.” The soccermen battled amongst themselves until the “Figs,” captained by Deane Dotson, were declared the champions. The weightlifting group, coached by Capt. Alan Price, spent most of its time doing exercises, rather than lifting weights. This was due to the fact that Capt. Price felt that toning the body was just as important as lifting a large amount of weight. The horseback riding squad spent the spring months learning the proper manner to ride a horse. Lt. Jack Mason, coach, taught the boys the funda mentals of horsemanship. On days when the horses were not available, the members spent their time playing volleyball or running relay races. The softball team, headed by Coach Furlow, en joyed displaying the prowess with a ball and bat. However, because of the rainy spring, the team did not get outside as much as they wanted. But, when the rains came down, the team moved to the field house and played basketball.

The military program during 1966-67 was one that in volved much time and effort by both the instructors and the students. Much of the first half of the year was spent on drill and the manual of arms, but later cadets moved into marksmanship, which was taught by some of the members of the M.S.T. IV class. When the corps came back from Christmas Furlough, the M.S.T. I’s be gan a course of first aid and military courtesy and weapons, the M.S.T. Ill’s had leadership and weapons, and the M.S.T. IV’s learned the techniques of instruction. The whole corps began tactics after Christmas. R.O.T.C. was a great success at all points.

MILITARY t

After the spring furlough ended, the MST I’s, on weekdays, began working on the organization and ad vancement of the Army. MST H’s had the military tradi tions with reading assignments and tests. The MST Ill’s started the course of rifle markmanship, and the MST IV’s kept working on methods of instruction by having each member get up before the others and give a class which decided his grade. On Saturdays, though, the corps had outside tactics in preparation for Government Inspection in May. The majority of the cadets learned much last year thanks to Captain Allen Price, Sergeant Major Robert Moon, and Master Sergeant Vallie Furlow.

Military Men Were To The Cadets

Master Sergeant Vallie Furlow helps Marshall Weems with machine gun after class, as he does for every other cadet who asks.

This past year, the cadets had three of the best military personnel as their instructors. They not only taught well but were friends with every cadet on campus. Captain Allen Price, who has had 22 years of service in the Army, was not only the S.A.I. but was coach of weight-lifting and boxing. His hobbies are hunting, trap shooting and leather work. He most likes the general appearance, courtesy, military bearing, and attitudes about the cadet corps. Sergeant Major Robert Moon has had 7 years of teaching experience here and has 21 1/2 years of service in the Army. His hobbies are stock and sprint cars and he most enjoys his chances to work with young people at the Academy; he would rather work as a coach than a teacher. Master Sergeant Vallie Furlow, with 6 years of teach ing here and 18 years of service in the Army, likes boating, camping, and wood-working as his hobbies. He likes the chances for every cadet to excel in something and dis likes the cadets who don’t take these opportunities.

This year, although late, tactics were first held in January. The Corps quickly took them as something serious. The ranking men involved accepted the responsibility of keeping the cadets informed as to what was going on in the way of coordinating attacks, communications among the squads, and the route or routes to be taken in getting to the attacking point. The cadets, while waiting at the assembly area, at times a fairly long wait, conducted themselves in an orderly manner and kept the noise and ram bunctiousness down quite well. There was one problem, though, during the first few months of “back campus” tactics, rain. But, the corps took care of this quickly and efficiently by changing before turning in their rifles so as not to track mud into the field house. The military department gives its thanks.

Cadets Ran Tactics

"Pass in Review’ There were quite a few kinks to work out at the first Sunday review, but cadets did it.

A review in December found Jim Best, Dirk Gress, Robert Owens, Larry Woltzen, and John Schweiger receiving the Soldiers’ Bar on the slab.

Sunday reviews were embedded in every cadet’s sched ule of activities. It filled up a large gap in all of their lives. Many were acknowledged as academic scholars above the rest. Others were shown to be expert riflemen. And still others were known for their achievement in military classes and in soldierly quality. Moving to the new field house from the athletic field was one that took much preparation and patience. It took the corps a full day to figure out where the “lines” would be. It was finally done, though, and the first re view, the dedication, was a huge success. There was al most no review situation that the corps could not handle, rain, snow or cold.

A Sunday review in Septem ber saw the cadets in top 10 percent of each military class receive wreaths and stars.

The Fusileers of 1966-67 were commanded by Cadet Major Alan Jacobs and supervised by Master Sergeant Vallie Furlow. The guidon bearer is Mike Macpherson and the squad leaders are John Schweiger, Bob Price, Bob Clasen and Deane Dotson.

If the MP’s of the future are as good as the ones of this year, they will be quite efficient and functional. The color guard, although in a state of change most of the time, did the most efficient job at all of the military organizations on campus. The corps gives its thanks to them. The Fusileers, although not directly seen by the corps, appeared over nation-wide television at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Boston Patriots game and at Columbia during Missouri University Homecoming parade.

Cadet Officers ’66-’67 During the school year 1966-1967, our cadet officers helped out the battalion in every possible way, in fun and work. They showed their great leadership ability when it came time to adapt to our new field house after Christmas furlough. This year, as in years past, the officers had a friendly attitude to every possible cadet. To some cadets, they just seemed like non-human machines, but if one really got to know them they were just like any of the rest of the corps. The officers of this year’s battalion were picked very carefully and thoughtfully, for they were among the best the Academy has ever had.

J From September to May the cadets of Missouri Mili tary Academy are constantly competing against each other in what is known as company competition, which plays a very important part in the life of a cadet and the company to which he belongs. The things counted in this competition are grades, drill performance, athletics, military and condition of the rooms during the many inspections held throughout the year. As the year rolled on it seemed as if companies “A” and “C” were neck and neck in winning the different competition periods. In athletics it was a close race between “A”, which won the battalion football championship, and “D”, which

The company spelling contest was won by “A”, while “D” showed that her drill performance was good by winning the flag many times after each Sunday afternoon review. Some of the leaders in grades who helped their companies very much were Dirk Gress of “A”, Ken Tinkcom of“D” and Richard Els of “C”. Another event which is very important is the Homecoming decorations contest, which was won by “D” in 1966 with its theme of “Batman”. All in all, barracks life at a military academy is re warding, offering life-long friendships and training in co operative living with other men.

■r The company commander for “A” in 1966-67 was.Tom Wisdom. At the beginning of the football season, the Green Wave was expected to come in last and to be lucky to get past their own 50-yard line. But due to the ex cellent coaching of Lt. Thomas McNelly and Capt. Walt Grebing and effort of everybody on the team, they won the championship. For Homecoming decorations, “A” had a theme of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”; it didn’t win but was a lot of fun. In grades Dirk Gress, Edward Vogel pohl, George Davison and Chuck Ince were some of the many people to bring in “plus” for competition, which “A” won many times. It seemed that the company was always in good spirits due to personalities of such people as Dean Shippey, Ray Kleissle, Vogelpohl and Tom Wis dom. The cadets of “A” will always remember the hot showers and occasional parties which lasted to all hours of the night. Deane Dotson, Jerry Trump, Chuck Ince greet Capt.

As 1966 turned into 1967, the cadets of “A” Company showed their talents in many dif ferent sports. In company wrestling “A” took 5 first places, more than any other company, but lost because of the low number of cadets who went out. “A" Company took seconds in swimming, basketball, and wrestling. One of the most outstanding athletes in “A” was Chuck Ince, who won the Keaton Wrestling Trophy. On March 17, 1967 “A” gained two lieutenants. Ince and Tom Blanding, who helped the company very much. On one of the many rainy days of April, the “A” Company spelling team won the battalion spelling con test.

The cadets of Charlie seemed to al ways have good morale because of people like Bob Owens, Robert Price and Baughman. The company really came through in competition as they won many times, due to the teamwork of everybody in the company and high “plus” makers like freshman Kent Yoest, junior Richard Els and sophomore Joe Goble. “C” Company had three cadets to make second order private, John Allee, Mark Dalton, Ron Puhi, and Yoest. One of the outstanding football players for the varsity team was freshman Mark Frazier. For the Homecoming decorations “C” had the theme of “The Yellow Submarine”.

In athletics, though, “C” didn’t do quite as well; they came in third in wrestling, basketball, and swimming. For the company spelling contest, “C” defended their title as the company champs, but lost it to “D”, who lost it to “A". One man came through and won the all-school spelling contest— John McElwain. When Mother’s Day arrived, “C” had one cadet who won the Superior Cadet award for outstanding work in military science. This cadet surely set the example for the boys under him; he was the company commander, Jerry Baughman. As the year closed Mike Foster was designated to lead “C”in 1967-68.

WFiqfg the Action Is

The year 1966-67 was a successful one for the campus’ various organizations. The marching band appeared on NBC-TV in color, played for various reviews and games, and presented two concerts, one in March and another in May. The glee club sang on television, for vespers, Evensong, and in two concerts. The Eagle, school newspaper, won a First Place in a Columbia (N.Y.) Scholastic Press con test and first prize in northeast Missouri. Taps, yearbook for ’66, won Special Excellent, finishing fourth of 38 an nuals in the state, and won First at C.S.P.A., too. The “M” Club had a record year with 22 members, one of the largest clubs in the history of M.M.A.

Robert Hubbard—Editor

Craig Riecken The primary job of the cheerleaders was to activate spirit in the corps during football season, and they did it well. They led the corps in spirited chants such as “Mis souri Locomotive”. Delta Phi was an elite academic organization which accepted its usual number of new members during the year. The members in turn enjoyed the privileges coming to them. The Dramateers presented three plays, “Stalag 17”, “The Game Of Chess,” and “When Shakespeare’s Gentle men Get Together”. They took the second to the district contest at Kirksville in April.

T 1 Showing off at halftime, the band displays its talents for precision drill.

If one were asked where the action had been in 196667, he should have been directed to where the band was. The band participated in many out-of-the-ordinary activ ities. In October, they went to Hannibal for the Mark Twain Music Festival; in the same month, they played for ground-breaking at the new Presbyterian Church. In November, they flashed through Columbia in the Missouri University Homecoming parade and, catching their breath, they whisked off to Kansas City to play at halftime of the Kansas City Chiefs-Boston Patriots game seen on nation-wide color television. In December things were icy but the band came through with a Christmas parade in downtown Mexico; in March they held a pop concert, a new idea which the corps thoroughly enjoyed. The band recorded a 45 rpm of school songs and album of the Mother’s Day concert and a record of some marching songs for the Missouri National Guard. In April the band sent two men, Duke Leslie and Mark Ferguson, to the district music contests and received two firsts. At the state finals they won H’s. In retrospect Major Paul Cherches said, “This is one of the finest groups of boys I’ve had the pleasure to work with.”

iLagie, laps inaustriow Glee Club Harmonious 1966 was a very good year for the Taps staff, netting them the highest award ever for their efforts, that being a Special Excellent award from Missouri Interscholas tic Press Association. In the Columbia Scholastic Press national contest, the book snatched a First Place rating. “As for this ’67 annual,” said Bill Shoemaker, editor, “It was my goal to produce an avant-garde, wellreceived annual and not necessarily to impress judges.” Ranking fourth of 38 books in the state, the carry-over staff hoped to maintain their top rating. The Eagle won 1st Place in the Columbia contest, All-American at National Scholastic Press, and Special Excellent at M.I.P.A. In the latter the paper was rated best in the state in Class B. Cadets Ted Mitchell and Carl Willenbrock won First Prize, the former with a sports story, the latter with a sports photo. The glee club presented some of the finest vocal performances of recent years. Activity varied from a television show prior to Christmas to the Mother's Day concert in May, when both band and glee club performed. Three boys stood out—John Paddock, I in district, II in state; Tom Blanding, II in district; and Phil Russell, I in district and I in state for the third consecutive year.

Cadets Craig Riecken and Bob Owens are busy working and thinking of ideas to produce a successful yearbook.

Dramateers Presented Three-Act Play

Pictured above members of the Dramateers are ROW 1, Muckier, D., Traveiso, Wormhoudt, R., Hill, J., Wormhoudt, D., Frazier, Goebel, S., and Sweaney. ROW 2, Capt. Durham, MacDowell, Payne, J. Mantle, Rockel, Means, R., Baughman, Taylor. Shevelson, and Boyer.

The Dramateers displayed an unusual amount of talent in 1966-67 by producing their first three-act play in several years, “Stalag 17”. The play was presented because it had been sug gested by many, who thought a one-act play was not long enough to entertain them, said Capt. Courtney Durham, director. “Stalag 17” was a success, since each role was taken by an appropriate actor. Each night for nearly three months they labored from after study halls to nearly 11 p.m. Two one-act plays were staged, “The Game of Chess” and “When Shakespeare’s Gentlemen Get Together”. Another new idea begun in 1966-67 was that of competing with other schools in a district contest of dramatics. It was on April 25 that four members of the Dramateers drove to Kirksville to test their skills. “The plays were judged by a professor of dramatics at the college,” said Dan Wormhoudt. “The play we deemed best ranked below ours.” Captain Dur ham believed this year’s group to be more conscious of their parts and more serious about the plays staged than ever be fore. 146

Wliere the Action Is

Dances for the year were very successful. The cadets and their dates who attended enjoyed them immensely. Refreshments for all of the formal dances were served in the basement of the gym by the stall of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ward. It was at these formals that cadets, if they were lucky enough, brought their hometown sweethearts and were left misty-eyed and weary when they parted. However, this soon wore off as they were getting ready for the next ball. Lt. Col. G. David Bailey’s Charlestons always seemed to burn these dances up, as did the antics and modern music of the “Jokers Wilde” and “The Young Ones” who

played at intermissions. This was the period when most of the parents went below to save their eardrums from the loud music. During this period the young generation gyrated and literally rocked the gymnasium. For each formal the gym was elaborately decorated. For Dad’s Day and Commencement it was draped with American flags, but for the Valentine Ball and the Tulip Ball it was dressed with various colored streamers, with cupids, hearts and tulips placed interestingly around the gym. It would be wrong to say these balls were localized, or even Americanized. People came from as far away as Germany and Australia.

Dad’s Day Ball Calm ’Til Jokers The formal Dad’s Day Ball began punctually with the faculty receiving line at 8 p.m. The line included Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm, Lt. and Mrs. Jack Mason, Lt. Col. and Mrs. David Bailey, Major and Mrs. Joe Bailey, Lt. Col. and Mrs. E. R. Jackson, Major Charles Stribling and Col. and Mrs. C. R. Stribling. It helped the cadets’ par ents to get better acquainted with the instructors. This everyone enjoyed. The grand march then started at 8:30 p.m., and was believed to be by many newcomers the highlight of the dance. The Ball continued on peacefully until intermission, at which time the Jokers Wilde ap peared (a school group) and the gymnasium literally shook as the younger generation did the Swim and the Duck. Peaceful dancing was then resumed after inter mission as Fred Simmons' orchestra's music soothed the dancers. The dance was concluded at 11 p.m. when the weary cadets, along with their parents, departed and went to their respective abodes for the night. The gym was decorated with American flags, and refreshments were served in the basement. Parents came to this ball from as far away as Australia.

Juniors Sponsor A Swinging Ball The annual Valentine Ball was profitable and hectic, as de scribed by President Tom Troll of the Junior Class. The dance drew 150 couples. One of the girls came from as far away as Germany. The class sponsor, Capt. Ernest Lehto, remarked that the juniors “seemed to be a swinging class.” The ball went well with sentimental music until the band broke into a Charleston for Lt. Col. G. David Bailey. Even though it dis rupted things, everyone thought it quite enjoyable. At inter mission the class officers and Captain Lehto rushed to the locker rooms to choose a court. Diane MacMahon was named queen. Her date was Gary Hartwig who said, “She was so surprised it took me the rest of the dance to calm her down.” At intermission, while the “Young Ones” entertained, the younger generation danced the Bobaloo and the Skate. At this point everything fairly flew. The juniors profited on the ball by some SI80.

Many Lonely Hearts Got Together As Cathy Cyr Was Elected Queen I J

I I

Cadets flooded the basement of the gymnasium with their dates for the twenty-second annual Tulip Ball, held April 22. Many cadets were talking over some of the day’s adventures while their dates were reviving old friendships and making new acquaintances with other girls. Suddenly, without warning, the crowd slowly ascended the stairs to the dance floor and formed for the receiving line. The girls and parents re marked on the ability of the cadets for their interior decorating as they admired the green and white crepe paper canopy and the arrange ments of artificial tulips. After the receiving line was over, the officers formed for the Grand March as other cadets and guests “fell in” behind them. Fred Simmons and his orchestra, of Columbia, Missouri, provided the medium for dancing until

the break at ten o’clock. At the intermission ca dets and dates crowded the stage to hear the beat of the Jokers Wilde that performed music more accustomed to the ears of the cadets. While the cadets danced to the fast beat, senior class officials, under the direction of Jim Best, retreated to the basement to elect the queen of the ball and her four attendants. The honored girls will long remember this ball. After the coronation of the queen and her court the crowd returned to their dancing. The senior class promoted a successful ball that was attended by all grades of cadets, faculty mem bers, and alumni. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ward, the dancers were provided with refresh ments served by volunteer canteen workers. It was a remarkably memorable and successful ball.

Frug and Slow Dance at Informals The half dozen informal dances held this year were sporadically attended, but thoroughly enjoyed. The school sponsored a dance at the beginning of the year for all up per school recruits so they could get acquainted with town girls. Other dances were held either at the lounge or at Mismilaca, where the “Jokers Wilde” or “Young Ones” played. (The Jokers won the first Battle of the Bands, a new contest on campus. The Ones were second.) The dances were enlivened by Peter Park with his Texas methods. Bill Shoemaker contributed his wiry body and most penetrating voice which made one wonder whether he was on the ceiling or tied in a knot on the floor. Bill sang for the Jokers. Deane Dotson also brightened things with his unique dances, as did Mike MacPherson with his new contortions, which often left his partner in a daze.

WTiere the Action Is

One of the best years the Junior School has ever had was 1966-67, under the leadership of Captain Buff Chance, Lt. Jerry Mothershead, Lt. Beco Pinson, Ser geant First Class Grant Maass, Sergeant First Class Scott Bateman, and Sergeant Paul Duarte. Two of the high ranking eighth grade corporals who were first year men were Kenneth Hatch, and Kelly Carle. The Brigadiers, Junior School’s drill team, were com manded by Maass, and he led them through a successful performance at Keil Auditorium in St. Louis, during the half-time of a Hawks’ basketball game. The Dads’ Day drill competition for first-year men was won by Dale Allen, and Kenneth Gordon won the plaque for best-drilled old cadet. Jerry Mothershead was again appointed editor of the EAGLET, the Junior School newspaper, and, with the help of many volunteer writers, gathered news for each month’s paper.

JUNIOR SCHOOL

Bill Williamson, Editor Alan Harwich The Eagles were the strongest athletic team this year in football and track. They won the football championship for the first time since 1962, and won the close track meet. Sixteen first-year recruits were recognized as first order privates at the beginning of the year, and several went on to become PFC’s by Christmas. The Junior School was very outstanding throughout the year in their performance at Reviews. They took the flag several times. If a person had come to review every Sunday when ac ademic decorations were handed out, he would have found that three cadets from the Junior School were always among the many upper school cadets receiving the academic fourragere. They were Jerry Mothershead, Allan Nelson, and Greg Davis. Mothershead. who was the second eighth grader to take ninth grade courses, led his class, and Davis followed close behind in the class rank.

Faculty Marks 10 Years Together The seven members of the Junior School faculty started their eleventh year together in 1966-67. Captain Kenneth Mortensen, who taught English to the seventh and eighth grades, joined the faculty ten years ago. Capt. Mortensen also coaches the Eagles foot ball team in the fall. Major Robert Piper started his four teenth year with the school, in the position of a science and history teacher and head military instructor. He was the Brigadier adviser, and worked many hours with them. Major and Mrs. Darius Richardson celebrated their fifteenth aniversary with the school. Major Richardson taught sci ence and coached the Lions football team.

7th Grade: Action Plus The seventh grade was a very active group throughout the year. Some of the class that were in the Brigadiers were Bill Watkins, John Josendale. James Jacobs, and Charles Fowler. The highest ranking Privates, First Class, in the seventh grade were Bruce Horwich, John Josendale, Bill Watkins, and Frank Rosser. In sports, at the beginning of the year, football was as popular with seventh graders as it was with the members of the other classes, for many seventh graders played vigorously for their team, and gave it full support. Wat kins was known to be the lightest participant in the sport. In the winter, wrestling, swimming, and basketball were the main attractions of the seventh graders. Academic leaders of the class were Alan Nelson, who won the honor cord several times during the year. Hor wich, and Watkins.

Studied Hard All Year The sixth grade class of the Junior School was one of the most interesting on campus. The class numbered only eleven but had representatives in almost every phase of Junior School life. Among the phases, the most prominent was the canteen patronage from the sixth grade. Four of the eleven members of the class were promoted to Private, First Class, during the year. In order of rank the four deserving boys were Matthew Ratteree, Ralph Kingman, Charles Goebel and Tom Caputa. All in all, the class kept fine disciplinary and academic records and should prove to be fine assets to the Academy.

Eagles Were Jr. School Football Champs For the first time since 1962, Captain Ken Mortensen's Eagles won the Junior School football crown. The first game of the season was played October 7 before a gathering of parents for Dad's Day. Kenny Hatch of Eagles was first to score after Grant Maass returned a punt to the 10 yard line. The game ended 6—0. The Lions scored first, but the Eagles came back for a 13—6 verdict in the second game. John Maple, quarter back. scored for the Lions from 10 yards out after a roughing the kicker penalty on the Eagles. In the third game, the Lions drove across the Eagle 20 yard line, but the Eagle defensive unit preserved the 7—0 victory, and foiled the Lions in their attempt to win their 3rd championship. Game four went to the Eagles by a 13—0 count. After a scoreless first half, the coaches started their second teams. The Lions were unable to stop Charles Hoffman, the Eagle halfback, who scored a T.D. Later, he set up another touchdown by intercepting a pass at midfield and running it back to the Lions’ 15 yard line. Matt Lorenz, who made the extra point after the first touchdown, scored the final T.D. of the game. Scorers of the Eagles were Matt Lorenz, 14; Grant Maass, 7; Charles Hoffman, 6; Kenny Hatch, 6; and Beco Pinson. 6. The Lions' only scorer was John Maple, with 6 points.

■

The military positions began to shape up at the first special order, which gave the old cadets a chance to earn their rank as Privates, First Class, or higher. For the three platoons, four corporals, who had been given their rank last spring, took the command of the company. The four were Buff Chance, Grant Maass, Jerry Mothershead, and, Beco Pinson. When October came, Chance was pro moted to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant and given command of the company. Later, Chance was promoted 1st Lieutenant, and by March, he had gained the rank of Cap tain. Mothershead and Pinson became 2nd Lieutenants on that March Special Order, assigned to the command of the 1st and 2nd platoons, respectively. Scott Bateman, a Sergeant, First Class, became the 3rd platoon leader, and Maass, also an SFC, became the company’s first sergeant.

The Brigadiers, the Junior School’s crack drill team, patterned after that of the upper school, was commanded by Maass, who had been elected to the position by the members of the team. The highlight of the year for the Brigadiers was a trip to St. Louis to perform during the half-time of a Hawks’ basketball game at Keil Auditor urn. The group received a warm welcome by the audience of over 3,500 people, who seemed to enjoy their performance very much. A Military Bar is presented to Junior School cadets who keep their rooms neat and clean. Many cadets received these “Good Housekeeping Awards” throughout the year. They were Scott Bateman, Buff Chance, Richard Heriford, Jerry Mothers head, Beco Pinson, Philip Beaumont, Kirby Crosset, Daniel Fallucca, Bruce Horwich, John McClenahan, Bill Martino, Steve Ratteree, Steve Coon, Robert Duarte, Grant Maass, Greg Davis, Dale Allen, Charles Barney, Steve Downtain, Randy Clark, Kenneth Hatch, and John Hensel.

Advertisers and patrons are the life-blood of any major publication. They are the humble businesses willing to promote journalism and to reap only the slight satisfac tion of seeing their titles displayed in a secluded spot of a book or newspaper. The hopes of others seeing their names in such a publication as TAPS ’67 must be as humble as their nature. Staff members, editors and advisors of such high school publications as TAPS are more indebted to their adver-

tisers and patrons than to their readers, for without pro moters and backers there would be no readers of such literature. In short, there would be no yearbook. In this short space the Business Manager would like to join the remainder of the staff in expressing a very sincere and fervent appreciation for advertisers’ and patrons’ contributions to the Missouri Military Acad emy’s TAPS.

THANKS TO

MISSOURI MILITARY ACADEMY It is impossible to express adequately our thanks and gratitude to each of you at M.M.A. for the care, training, and understanding that you have given our sons, Bob and Lan, during the past seven years. You have made the academy a home away from home for them. We are appreciative of the job well done by this institution in building

and developing character in young cadets. You have contributed through many facets to help boys grow to be men of the finest caliber and enable them to find themselves, and achieve in adjusting to their proper places

as useful, active citizens in our world of the 20th Century. Many changes have taken place in the growth of our sons while under

your care. We shall always be grateful and feel a part of us remains with you, as your efforts and energies expand and extend into the lives of

other cadets, as they were so well and effectively implied into the lives of our sons.

The time for saying good-bye has arrived, but as we depart a special place will be reserved in our heart for M.M.A. May God continue to bless you and keep Missouri Military Academy always, “A School of Distinction”.

Action Abated On May 28 Action abated at Missouri Military Academy as it had done for the past 77 years. It spread from M.M.A. to home towns all over the nation the same as ever. It disappeared from barracks, athletic fields, classrooms and all else in Mexico, Mis souri, just as before. On this day, however, Action pained cadets as it had never done. The graduation class felt the pang of old friendships being lost—not forgotten, but lost. The battalion this year was the most amiable and most active ever. They enjoyed themselves so well it was hard to visualize their not returning to the exact friends for another nine months after vacation. When the final notes of ‘Taps’ were blown and the flag was lowered, many were struck by reality as never before. In short, on May 28 the corps was blinded by the glare of life’s inactivity.
