On Dedication For some, dedication is a way of life. Over the summer, seniors of the 1969 graduating class learned of administrative changes at M.M.A. Colonel C. R. Stribling, who was president even when the fathers of some of the present-day cadets attended the Academy, retired as president and became chair man of the board. His son, Colonel Charles Stribling HI, became president. For Colonel C. R. Stribling, this change meant a new association for him at M.M.A. For it was only a partial retirement. He still taught his senior English class, still made the winter educational tour, still attended football games in the same yellow wind breaker with “The Old Man” label on the back. In his 48 years at the Academy, Colonel Stribling has come a long way with M.M.A. and M.M.A. has come a long way with the colonel. He has seen the school in times of trial and financial crisis, hardship and happy times, athletic victory and defeat. Every great man sets high but realistic goals and dedicates his efforts toward obtaining them. Colonel C. R. Stribling certainly is no exception. On October 19, 1968, in the bright sunshine of a Dad’s Day fall, Colonel C. R. Stribling was the principal speaker at the dedication of E Company barracks. The dedication was another step in a construction plan drawn up many years ago under the colonel’s leadership. At the dedication, Colonel Stribling said: “The Academic Building was dedicated to the mental growth of the cadets, the field house to the physical development of the cadets, the Memorial Chapel to their spiritual uplift, and this new barracks to their personal comfort and well-being.” That barracks is another monument to Colonel Stribling’s dedication to cadets and when we and others visit the campus we will be able to see it and other symbols of this man’s work for years to come. We salute you, Sir. And for your dedication to cadets, we are dedicating this year’s yearbook, Taps, to you and your work. —THE EDITORS

Highlights of Early Fall

Cadets Return, Activities Begin As summer came to an end, the former cadets returned to the Missouri Military Academy campus to start another year. Some returned with visions of becoming an officer, a first-string football player, a high-ranking NCO, or perhaps, with no visions at all. But all former cadets soon fell into the life and routine they know so well. For some new recruits, cadet life was a totally different experi ence. For some, it meant the first time away from home; for others, cadet life was not easy. Fall events followed rapidly after the initial period of getting uniforms, taking tests, attending orientations, and being assigned a room. The varsity football team, which arrived ahead of the other cadets, started another year. The company football teams began battles for the championship. The early fall highlight was Dad’s Day weekend, and the weekend highlight was the dedication of the new $350,000 barracks. As an added feature, the football team thrilled the crowd by scoring four touchdowns in the last nine minutes to nip Missouri School for the Deaf, 28-25. Assemblies were started for cadets. The first was on electricity. In a mock election, Richard Nixon won over George Wallace and Hubert Humphrey. The rejuvenated Cadet Council met for the first time and elected Bob Hutton as chairman. Major General John Chiles visited the campus. And finally, cadets discussed the changes made over the summer which saw Colonel Charles Stribling in named president while his father, C. R. Stribling, was elevated to chairman of the board. Five new faculty members were named. And down in the stables, a mule was born.

Homecoming Highlighted Late Fall During the late fall, cadets began to look forward to winter sports, fall letters and Christmas furlough. The new recruits were getting adjusted and a few became cadets. For the M.M.A. football team, the latter part of the fall was disappointing. The team lost its Homecoming game to Principia and then lost the Gold Football to Kemper for the first time in four years. With the exception of the football defeat, Homecoming was a big success as each company decorated its barracks. Returning alumni, doing the judging, named A Company’s “Camelot” as the winner. In publications, Marshall Weems and Mike Wrenn were named to edit Taps, the M.M.A. yearbook, and Rusty Williamson was named business manager. In the late fall, the M.M.A. Band and the Fusileers were named to march in the inaugural parade for Governor Warren Hearnes in Jefferson City. But right after that announcement came one of the highlights of the year—the band was named the official representative of Missouri for the inaugural of President-elect Richard Nixon in Washington D.C. Fall sports ended with the football banquet and Pedro Riojas and Rick Taylor were named co-captains for next year. Mike Wrenn was awarded the trophy as best lineman and Riojas was named best back. The weather changed from hot to warm, and then to chilly. The cadets took their fall trimester exams, then moved on to the winter academic and sports programs.

Winter Highlights

Campus Scene,

Activities Change

As late fall drew to a close and early winter began, the campus scene and campus activities changed. The colorful leaves fell and the campus scene became bare. Cadets wore trench coats and dark gloves at reviews; then reviews were moved into the field house as the weather grew colder. In sports, the football team wrapped up its season with a surprising 13-13 tie with Wentworth. The long basketball season began with two new coaches—Capt. David Steinmetz as head coach and Lt. Gary Huskey as assistant. Swimmers opened “the best season ever” under Capt. Mok Tokko, and the wrestling team under Major Joe Bailey also proved to be one of the best. The M.M.A. Dramateers performed their first play of the season—“The Investigation ”—under the direction of Major Courtney Durham. The newly rejuventated Cadet Council ratified its constitution. Announcements told of things to come. Col. Charles Stribiling III, Academy president, announced that work would start after the first of the year on an Academic Building expansion. He also announced thatninecivic and educational leaders had been named to a board of visitors to advise the Academy officials on academic matters. Cadets attended the traditional Evensong Service in the Chapel. Then a day later they left for Christmas furlough.

Winter Highlights

Cadets Return to Campus When cadets returned to the campus after furlough, the band and Fusileers began prac ticing for upcoming inaugural parades. Other cadets turned to indoor activities except for some who tried their skating skills on frozen Teardrop Lake. Snowfall was generally sparse until January 26 when eight inches fell. Many of the cadets spent the afternoon roughhousing in the snow on back campus. The newly formed Board of Visitors also met

that day, but the snow cut the attendance to six of nine. Dr. R. B. Cutlip, president of William Woods College, was named board chairman. In sports, the swimming and wrestling team piled up victories, but the basketball team found the going rough and took a long suc cession of defeats while downing M.S.D. twice. Linn Cornick, advancing from captain to major, led the promotion list. Cornick, Ed Eggerichs, and Ed Loskill were named “outstanding students.”

Throughout the school year, M.M.A. cadets presented a series of television broadcasts. Appearing, left to right, are John Carleton, Dan Muckier, Ed Eggerichs and Doug Wilkinson who also appears on the monitor screen. Wilkin son was interrogator.

Band and Fusileers March at Inaugurals Right after the return from Christmas fur lough, members of the M.M.A. Band and Fusileer drill team made preparations to appear in inaugural parades. The band marched at both the inaugural for Missouri Gov. Warren Hearnes in Jefferson City and for the inaugural for Richard Nixon in Washington, D.C., as official Missouri representative. The Fusileers appeared at the Hearnes parade. The M.M.A. cadets endured a long, chilly wait at Jefferson City for their turn to move down the line. But marching warmed them up and they cut a colorful picture as they moved past the reviewing stand. At Washington, the band experienced another chilly day. President Nixon applauded vig orously as the cadets passed by. TV viewers at home suffered some disappointment, how ever, when commercials cut out the M.M.A. appearance. A few days later Major Paul Cherches, the band director, received a letter from President Nixon thanking the cadets for their appearance.

Winter-Spring

Academic Building

Work Moved Ahead As winter drew to a close and spring began machines scooped, dug, scraped and drilled in the area back of the Academic Building as the expansion program moved rapidly ahead. While the senior would be untouched by the project, returning underclassmen in the fall of 1969 could look forward to better dining and library facilities. In other late winter activities, Major Courtney Durham’s Dramateers staged three one-act comedies at one performance; the Cold Water Army won the annual battle of the bands and the right to play at the inter mission of the Valentine Ball, and Jill Harper of Indianapolis, Ind., was selected queen of that Valentine Ball. Aslo, the Fusileers competed at the University of Illinois drill championships, David Kern led the mid winter trimester examinations with 12 points and 40 “globetrotting” cadets returned from the annual ed ucational tour. In sports, the varsity cage team ended with a 2-17 season, the wrestlers with a 6-2 plus a victory in the Tri-Military, and the swimmers with a 5-1 in duals and a victory in the Tri-Military. There was still patches of snow on the ground when the cadets left for spring furlough March 14. It was gone when they returned to enter into the round of sports and social activities, as well as military and academic work, which would end for some with Commencement.

Late Spring

School Pace Began to Quicken Late spring events piled up in rapid succession. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, former President of the United States, died in late March. An honor guard of M.M.A. Fusileers and the M.M.A. band marched to the rail station in Mexico to pay tribute to him as the fun eral train rolled swiftly through the yards. The Fusileers won second place at the University of Illinois where the M.M.A. unit was the only high school drill team in the competition. The band was selected as one of the units to march at the dedication of the Winston Churchill Memorial in Fulton, Missouri. At the administration level, William A. Berry, ’30, vice chief justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, was named to the Board of Visitors. In sports, the swimming team finished with a 6-2 record and the companies competed in battalion swim ming and wrestling tournaments. A major change was innovated by the Cadet Council. It recommended that “signing out” on Sunday afternoon be dropped and this was done.

Honors Won in Final Days The weeks in late May were busy ones for the Cadet Corps. First came Government Inspection which resulted in another Honor Rating for the M.M.A. unit. Final exams came and left, awards and honors were won and bestowed. Then for the seniors, came commencement—the big gest day of all. Commencement speaker was Senator Thomas Eagleton. He called upon the graduates to carry the responsibility of leadership that they were

New President Led Administration Cadets returning to Missouri Military Academy in the fall learned of a major change in the administration. Col. C. FL Stribling retired as president of the Academy to become chairman of the board. His son, Charles Stribling in, became the new president with the rank of colonel. Otherwise, the administration remained much the same. Lt. Col. E. R. Jackson continued in his role as director of admissions and made his many trips in search of recruits.

Captain Tokko, a graduate of the University of Kansas, experimented this year with a computer programming class. The class was composed of special honor students who had finished the regular book two months early. Captain Tokko was also the coach of the varsity golf team, the school judo squad, and varsity swimming. Another member of the math staff is Captain Gerald Ramponi. He completed his third year as an Algebra and Advanced Math teacher. Aside from his classes, Captain Ramponi instructs life-saving and varsity wres tling. Also completing his third year was Captain David Stienmetz. He plans on receiving his Masters degree at Missouri University. Captain Stienmetz coaches varsity football, varsity basketball, and varsity tennis. A new member to the staff was Lieutenant Raymond Campbell. As a resident of “Dog” company, he coached its football and basketball team to good seasons. He taught Algebra I and general math. Miss Edna Bickley, the school librarian, is proud of the new addition being built onto the library. She plans to reorganize the whole library by the end of the summer. Miss Bickley says that this will allow more room for cadets, and less congestion while hunting for books.

At the end of the year it was announced that Capt. Charles W. Vines, Com mandant of Cadets, would head the department the following year. Lt. Erwin Gilmore, who taught junior English and headed the publications department, was the only newcomer to the English Department faculty. Col. C. R. Stribling, chairman of the board, taught a senior English class, and Col. Charles Stribling in, president of the Academy, taught the accelerated junior English class. Returning teachers were Major Courtney Dur ham, freshman English teacher; Lt. David Kirch ner, sophomore English teacher, Capt. Fred Mauk, junior English, and Lt. Phil Emmons, junior and senior English. Some highlights of the academic year included trips to Columbia to see movies in connection with material being studied in class.

Social Studies Staff Had One Newcomer

Lt. Gary Huskey joined staff.

One new teacher was added to the social studies, history and business staffs this year. He was Lt. Gary Huskey who taught history and economics. Others on the staff were Major Joe Bailey, Major Kenneth Mortenson, Capt. Thomas McKnelley, Capt. Ernest Lehto, and Capt. Thomas O’Brien, who taught typing, bookkeeping and business law. In mid-winter, Captain McKnelley announced he would not be returning the following year. He and his wife and three children will go to the Congo after a period of training where he will work as a Presbyterian teaching missionary. Besides teaching history, Captain McKnelley also taught Spanish at M.M.A. Captain Lehto also taught language in addition history. During the year he taught Latin, but beginning next year he will teach French as well. Besides teaching, Major Bailey was head football coach and athletic director. All of the other social studies teachers coached in some capacity—either at company level or varsity teams.

Staff Performed Varied Functions Besides academics and military drill, the operation of Missouri Military Academy calls for a lot of skills in many areas. Ailing cadets need nursing care, records must be kept, typing must be done, meals cooked, buildings swept out and lawns cut. All of these functions and many more are carried out by hard-working members of the Academy staff. While doing this behind-the-scenes work, many of the mem bers of the Academy staff were as familiar to the cadets as the faculty officers. Dr. Lawrence Epple, the Academy physician; Mrs. Ralph Ward at the canteen; Mrs. Warren Graham, secretary to Colonel Charles Stribling III; Mrs. Mary Kehl, secretary to the principal, Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm; Mr. Dallas Osterhaut, the barber; and the Academy nurses all had many direct contacts with cadets. These pages depict some of those members of the staff going about their duties of keeping the many supplementary tasks of the Academy a going concern.

Gridders Win 3, Lose 4, Tie 2 The 1968 Missouri Military Academy football Colonels finished the season with three victories, four losses and two ties. The Colonels constantly fought for victory, as illu strated in the game with Missouri School for the Deaf when M.M.A. scored four touchdowns in the last nine minutes to down the Eagles 28-25. Injuries hurt the Colonels all season. Co-captain Rick Taylor was hurt early in the season. His re placement, Tony Wilson, was also injured. Tackle Gary Hartwig missed most of the early games with a leg injury. A kidney ailment put starting back Linn Cornick out most of the season. Mike Wrenn, who made 115 tackles, was awarded the Len Japp trophy as the best lineman, and Pedro Riojas

won the trophy as best back. Riojas was named cocaptain for next year along with Taylor. Ed Eggerichs was awarded his jersey no. 55 for being co-captain during the 1968 season. M.M.A. opened the football season with a 19-6victory over Western and followed with a 13-6 win over Wentzville. A 7-0 loss to St. Francis Borgia left M.M.A. with a 2-1 mark. Then followed a 7-7 tie with North Callaway High and M.M.A.’s last minute victory over M.S.D. The Colonels were thumped 68-0 by Principia, 22-12 by Fayette and 47-0 by Kemper which cost them possession of the Gold Football. In the final game of the season, M.M.A. made a strong comeback to tie the favored Wentworth eleven, 13-13.

Colonels Won Two, Then Took Loss In their first three games of the season, the Missouri Military Academy Colonels won two and lost one. M.M.A. defeated Western 19-6, Wentzville 13-6, but lost to St. Francis Borgia 7-0. The victory over the Raiders came on a swampy field and in a driving rain. Western scored first on a pass play, but M.M.A. evened it up on a 60-yard pass play from Pedro Riojas to Rick Taylor. Then, after the half, Western fumbled and Mike Wrenn recovered. This time Riojas hit Taylor with a 10-yard touchdown pass. The last touchdown came on a fumble recovery by Taylor, and a 21-yard pass play from Riojas to Scott Mapes. The following week against Wentzville, M.M.A. scored first with Taylor going over from two yards out. In the third period, Wentzville avoided a shutout by scoring. The Colonels then scored after an exchange of kicks with Riojas going over from the five. Against St. Francis Borgia, the string was snapped when the visitors’ Dave Brown carried over from the five yard line. Tony Wilson looks for running room in the game against Western Military Academy, played in the rain and mud. Fred Garcia (70) is at the left.

Colonels Beat M.S.D. in Thriller In what turned out to be the most exciting game of the season, the Missouri Military Academy Colonels defeated the Missouri School for the Deaf 28-25 by scoring four touchdowns in the last nine minutes. The first came when Pedro Riojas flipped a 46-yard pass to Rick Lamb and Randy Etzkorn converted. After a turnover, Tom Mestrezat carried to the five and Riojas went over.

Disaster Hit with Principia After compiling a 3-1-1 record in the first five games of the season, a series of disasters hit the Colonels from then on. The first came at Homecoming October 26 when M.M.A. was crushed by Principia 68-0. Then came a loss to Fayette in a night game at Fayette 22-12, and the loss of the Gold Football to Kemper 47-0 in a game at Kemper. Despite the series of defeats, M.M.A. showed sur-

prising comback power in the final game of the season when it battled Wentworth to a 13-13 tie on the Colonels’ Field. Mike Wrenn intercepted one pass to set up a touch down; then scored both M.M.A. touchdowns on pass plays—one by Pedro Riojas and one by Kevin Daniels. Wentworth had been heavily favored after it beat Kemper substantially.

Tom Mestrezat kicks up a cloud of dust in running this reverse against Principia. No. 32 is M.M.A.'s Russell Faust and 69 is Charles Weishaar. Principia players are Dave Spaulding (81), Jon Plumb (61), Larry Dunn (43), Mike Dow (52) and an un

Alpha Finished Fourth; 1-2-2 Record Alpha Company finished last in the Missouri Military Academy football competition after winning the cham pionship the year before. The team was coached by Capt. Thomas Wiles assisted by Lt. David Kirchner. Team captains were Rick Faeth and Bill Friedman. John Allee was manager and Jim Stewart aided in the coaching since he was ineligible for competition. Bill Browning quarterbacked the Alpha team while seniors Mike Clark, Jim Lasley, and Faeth provided

protection and led the interference. The team showed a lack of experience and man power on the grid field yet managed to move the ball in the air with all-star Bud Vasconcellos doing much of the receiving. Next year’s team should have some experienced players returning because the team this year had many underclassmen.

Fast action took place in the Company league games during the fall season.

The Red Raiders of C Company, finished second in the league with a 1-1-2 record, turned in a sur prise by making the finals. Charley Company had trouble moving the ball and the defense scored its only touchdown. The Raiders were beaten 12-0 by Delta Company but battled Alpha and Echo to scoreless ties. In the first of the semi-final games, Steve Goebel scored the only touchdown of the year on a pass interception. Although tied with Delta 6-6, C Company won the game on penetration. Selected for the all-star team were Paul Hach and Dave Jones. Lt. Phil Emmons, head coach, awarded letters to all. Carl Geisel was team captain.

The M.M.A. team had a 2-2 record but also participated in the Camp Perry rifle match at Kemper where Ron Puhi collected an expert medal for scoring 98 out of 100. Next year’s captain will be John Bartlow, a threeyear letter winner in this sport. Sophomore Steve Bethel won both the rifle trophies for kneeling and standing averages.

Basketball Team Suffers 2-17 Season The varsity basketball team had many problems during its nineteen game season. Nevertheless, the team practiced hard and slowly progressed, hopefully leaving next year’s team with much more experience and ability. Capt. David Steinmetz took charge of the team in his first year as a varsity coach and was assisted by Lt. Gary Huskey, who coached the junior varsity. Senior captain Scott Mapes led the team in leadership and desire. The Colonels won two games in the season and took both from the same team, Missouri School of the Deaf. Losing the remainder of the games, the Colonels ran up against some tough competition. With M.M.A.’s lack of experience and height, the result seemed inevitable. Sophomore Paul Webb led the team in total points and was elected captain of the team for next year. Also returning next year will be Tom Mestrezat, Tony Wilson, and Steve Dewey.

Throughout the year many cadets participate in the Missori Military Academy’s extensive intramural sports program. During the year there is battalion track, boxing, wrestling, swimming, football and basketball. In the fall and spring cadets may ride horses or play on softball teams. They may participate in archery in the spring, basketball in the winter, wrestling in the winter and track in the spring. By far the most popular are the springtime sports. When the weather warms, cadets in the competition may be found on all corners of the campus. In many intramural events, cadets may win medals for winning battalion championships. Wrestling, weightlifting, boxing, and track winners receive such medals. But for many, it is just the sheer joy of competition that turns the cadets out.

Cadets, M.M.A. Win Many Honors Major General John Chiles, deputy commander of the U.S. Fifth Army, visited Missouri Military Academy October 4 on his regular inspection of the Fifth Army area. He traveled to four states, inspecting military schools, colleges and public schools which have R.O.T.C. training. The general was greeted on the M.M.A. campus by a honor guard and officers of the cadet corps. At the ceremony, he tied the state champion drill team streamer on the M.M.A. flag. The streamer repre sented another victory for the Fusileers, crack drill team. Later the general reviewed the cadet corps and inspected cadet quarters. The state champion drill team honor represented just one of the many awards and honors won in military by the cadet corps and individual cadets during the year.

The Missouri Military Academy Cadet Corps looked its best when it performed at Dad’s Day and Homecoming reviews in the fall. Besides the parade and review, another military part of activities was the drill down competition. Paul Taylor won the competition for newyear cadets; Gary Klinepeter won the old-year cadet drill down. Following the parade and review on Homecoming, the Cadet Corps gathered around to watch the fun as graduates of M.M.A. tried their skills with the M-l rifle. But then James Shevelson upheld the honor of the Corps by defeating the old grads in a drill down for the sweepstakes title.

M.M.A. Again Wins Honor Rating iri* :

For the first two weeks of May, members of the Cadet Corps made frantic last minute preparations for the upcoming Government Inspection. Finally, the day arrived, and when it was over, the cadets passed with flying colors. By the time of commencement, M.M.A. learned it had won another Honor Rating for the 40th straight time in the history of the school. G.L was made by Col. Albert Dixon, professor of Military science at Westminister College, assisted by Major Rock Wheeler, instructor at Lincoln University. The two inspectors were met upon arrival by an honor guard from the state champion Fusileers. Then, after a conference with Col. Charles Stribling III, Academy president, inspection began. Barracks were checked first. Colonel Dixon inspected A and D; Major Wheeler inspected E and C. The Junior School’s B barracks was checked, too. The inspecting officers watched dismounted drill in the morning and then saw the noon mess formation.

Rain Canceled Tactics Battle In the afternoon, the Government Inspectors checked the Cadet Corps’ arms in a formation in the field house. Rain which had been threatening all day began to pick up before the inspection was over. In the late afternoon, tactics planned for the in spection were canceled when the rain became a steady downpour. Some of C Company’s aggressor “snipers”

didn’t know about the cancellation until after they had their positions. They were called in, after a thorough drenching. In place of tactics, the members of D Company under Cadet Capt. Ed Eggerichs ran through a series of battle drill maneuvers. The last activity of the day was a dress parade.

D Company Excelled in Work, Athletics The D Company Alamo, the only off-campus barracks at the Academy, seemed to hold some of the hardest working cadets in the battalion. Under the leadership of Capt. Ed Eggerichs, company commander; Rick Seabaugh, executive officer; and Gary Hartwig, Ted Payton and Doug Wilkinson, the company won distinction on both the athletic and drill fields. D excelled in sports with an abundance of varsity lettermen. Jim Bender, picked by the Eagle Board of Control as the Best lineman in the Company Football League, was a D Company player. Residents of the D Company basement felt they had some of the best rooms on the campus. Built originally to hold four men, some of the D Company basement dwellers lived with but one roommate in almost apartment like surroundings. Capt. Eggerichs (who was also co-captain of the football team) played a big part in cadet lives. When one was playing, all were playing. But when there was work to be done, D Company laid claim to working the hardest.

C Sparkled

For the first time in the history of the Academy, the members of the band were organized in their own company at the start of the school year. Joseph Goble commanded the unit. Known as both Band and C Company, this unit was in the center of things throughout the school year. One of the highlights for Band Company was the trip to the

Class, on Field gubernatorial and presidential inaugurals. All this happened just about the same time a fire in the basement of the C Company barracks forced C Company residents to vacate to D Annex and other places until repairs were made. C Company did well athletically, especially in company football under Lt. Phil Emmons, coach. Band Company also led the academic averages through the school year.

Many Areas

When A Company marched on the field for the first time during the school, it was commanded by Cadet Capt. (then Lt.) Richard Faeth. His non coms were M. Sgt. William Friedman and platoon leaders Jim Lasley and Mike Clark. During the school year, A won many high hon ors in all phases of cadet life. In academies, A boasted of having seven of the 16 Delta Phi mem bers at mid-winter. At Homecoming, A won the decoration contest with a King Arthur’s Castle theme. The exhibit included dungeons, a witch's brew (dry ice in water), the dubbing of knights (and guests), and an executioner. A Company excelled in company competition and was often the victor at battalion parades and

Band Takes in Many Events The school year of 68-69, was an eventful one for the Missouri Military Academy March ing Band. The Band traveled to Hannibal, Jefferson City, and Washington D. C. If it weren’t for the band and Drum and Bugle Corps it would tend to be dull on campus. The band was the high note of the battalion review, while the drum and bugle corps played

for the cadets marching into the dining hall at each meal. The M.M.A. band was always noted for its fine sound, but this year seemed to be one of their best for sound and performance. The band was under the direction of Major Paul Cherches, Joe Goble was band commander and Paul Gillette was drum major.

Parents, friends and those back at the Academy, however, were disappointed to find that a trio of commercials blocked out the band’s appearance just as it got to the reviewing stand.

Almost as important as the parade for cadets was the tour of Washington D.C. earlier in the day. Colonel Charles Stribling, who along with Major Paul Cherches accompanied the cadets, called it the best he had ever made of the nation’s capital. Following the trip, the M.M.A. band drew high praise from all quarters for its performance and behavior.

The radio and television staff, directed by Doug Wilkinson, not only "told it like it was” to the cadets, but to the people in the surrounding area. The staff did a sports show on KXEO twice a week and a TV show once a month. The Projection Club, under Major Courtney Durham,

operated projectors for classes and for the Saturday night movies. The Eagle staff, led by Kent Yoest, again won several awards. Taps was headed by co-editors Mike Wrenn and Marshall Weems with Rusty Williamson as business manager. Lt. Erwin Gilmore, new to the faculty, supervised the publications.

Officers were Ed Eggerichs, president; Ted Payton, vice president, and Linn Cornick, secretary. The cheerleaders did a super job of firing up school spirit at athletic events. The Campus Military Police were one of the elite groups. They functioned on the front campus in all weather on major days and worked at football and basketball games. Members are chosen by present members with emphasis on appearance, military courtesy and bearing. Delta Phi, the academic organization, worked through out the year. With responsibilities, came privileges. The members were allowed to study in their own rooms during daytime study halls. To become a member, the cadet must first become a pledge with eight honor points for two months. Eight more honor points and no grade less that a C for two more months were required for associate membership. Kent Yoest was president.

Cadet Council Rejuvenated The Cadet Council started this year for the first time after a lapse of a few years. It met once every two weeks on Thursday nights in the basement of E Barracks. The council function was to discuss and vote on items pre sented to it by the Cadet Corps. Members consisted of the battalion commander, the president of each class, two representatives of first-

year cadets, the president of Delta Phi, the president of the M Club, and one representative chosen from each barracks. Later a Junior School representative was admitted. Other active groups included the Vespers Readers and the Glee Club. The choir also sang at Vespers as well as traditional services such as Evensong.

Dramateers Talent Laden The M.M.A. Dramateers were overloaded with talent this year. They presented seven plays throughout the year; one full length play, and six one-act productions. The first play that was presented was “The Investigation” which was a full length production portraying the Nuremburg Trials. After a short period of time they pre sented the first series of three one-act plays. They were entitled “Minnie Field”, “The Laziest Man in the World” and “Refund.” The second series of the three one-act plays came in the latter part of the year. The names of these plays were as follows: “If Men Played

Cards as Women Do”, “Minor Miracle”, and a comical production that was written by Cadet Robb Means. It was called “Rocks” and involved local humor by satirizing an Army base. The Dramateers would give up their 6th period study hall for practice on the week-days, and occasionally practice during their free time. So all of this practice and hard work that was put in by Major Courtney Durham, the sponsor, paid off because the plays were a big hit at the Academy at all three performance nights.

Mandella Enlivened Dad’s Day Ball The highlight of Dad’s Day weekend is the Dad’s Day Ball. The dance began at 8p.m. with the receiving line and ended at midnight with the playing of “Good Night, Sweetheart.” Many recruits had their first experience with formal dancing and many others were seeing a military ball for the first time. Cadets introduced their parents and dates to Colonel Charles Stribling III, and other faculty members, in the receiving line. Then came the impressive grand march and dancing. During the intermission, cadets and dates rocked to the sounds of the Mandella. The seniors formed what they called a “senior line” from which they banned underclassmen. After intermission, they went to the Adminis tration Building steps for an informal class picture.

Leading the grand march are Pam Temple with Capt. Ed Eggerichs at left and Kim Mundy with Major Linn Cornick at right. Behind Cornick is Lt. Joe Goble and Lt. Robb Means, followed by Major Joe Bailey.

Valentine Ball Colorful Affair The members of the Junior Class spent a week in preparation for the Valentine Ball which was on February 8. The receiving line began at 8 p.m. and the grand march started at 8:30 p.m. Col. Charles Stribling IH, the Academy’s new president, led the line in the grand march. During the intermission, the queen of the Valentine ball was named. She was Jill Harper, sister of Jeff Harper, an M.M.A. sophomore. Pedro Riojas, Junior Class president, crowned Jill and then had the honor of dancing the Queen’s dance. Also during intermission, the Cold Water Army, which won the battle of the bands, was featured playing music. Junior Class sponsor, Capt. Ernest Lehto, described the whole affair as “devastating.”

Underneath some of the most colorful decorations ever seen, cadets dance during the Tulip Ball in the M.M.A. gymnasium.

Tulip Ball Colorful Event The decorations for the Tulip Ball, the winter social highlight, were more than anyone expected. Through the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Faeth of St. Louis, parents or Cadet Rick Faeth, combined with those of the Senior Class, the decorations produced were the most colorful any faculty member or cadet could remember. The Academy gymnasium was aglow with shades of blue, yellow and red in the forms of large and small tulips placed around the dance floor.

1 52

Most colorful of all were the large butterflies hanging from the ceiling or placed on the stage. At one end of the gym was a huge ring-shaped bower in yellow pastel con structed by the Senior Class members. Miss Tina Hoester of St. Louis was named queen and was crowned within the bower. Attendants were Pam Stewart of St. Joseph, Gail Moore of Mexico, Cindy Murray of Marceline, and Mary Kiske of St. Louis. “The Cold Water Army’’ played at intermission.

Informals Provided Break from Military Not all of the dances at Missouri Military Academy during the year were formal affairs with dress uni forms. Informal dances both in the canteen and at Camp Mismilaca also were provided. These informal dances provided a break in military routine for members of the Cadet Corps. Some of the dances were sponsored by classes for their own members; others were mixers open to all. Usually some cadet combo would play. One of the groups during this year was the “Cold Water Army” which won the battle of the bands and also played at intermission at the formal dances. At the informal dances, the music was faster with a stronger beat. Informal attire was the order of the night and the non-regs included an abundance of lettermen sweaters. At the formal dances, cadets usually escorted girl friends from their home towns. But at the informals, most of the girls were from Mexico. Ted Lane was featured in many dances as a soloist. In this photograph he is playing at a March dance.

Seven on Faculty Led Junior School Six veteran teachers and one newcomer were on the faculty of the M.M.A. Junior School this year. Principal of the school was Major Derrill Kuhlman, who started with the faculty in 1946. Lt. Col. G. David Bailey was Commandant of Cadets. Other faculty members were Major George Piper, assistant commandant who taught art and history; Major Robert Piper, head of the Junior School Military Department; Major Darius Richardson, science teacher, Mrs. Darius Richardson, English teacher, and Lt. William Smith, English teacher. Lt. Smith was the newcomer to the faculty. He is a recent graduate of Southwestern at Memphis. This year was the last as an M.M.A. teacher for Major George Piper. After 25 years on the faculty, he retired at the end of the term. In a review just before the school year ended, Major Piper was presented with a certificate for his service from the Indepen dent Schools Association of the Central States,

7th Grade Had Good Year The seventh grade in the Junior School had a good year. Most of the classes were made up of new cadets with eight old cadets leading the way. Dale Dawson, Michael Knoll, Donald Moehle, Robert Schlie, Joe Stafford, Reed Teilborg, Steven Weis and Donald Wischet were the old cadets who are hoping to return for their eighth grade year. The seventh grade showed interest in all fields of athletics. Football proved to be the favorite sport during

the fall season. In winter, swimming and basketball were the most successful. The seventh grade had many exciting and funny events happening to it during the year. As a whole, the class appeared to have excellent leadership potential for next year. And perhaps it will provide leaders for the high school in years to come.

The Sixth Grade was headed in academics by Grant Porteous throughout the entire school year. The cadets ventured into Mark Twain’s cave and traveled to Bagnell Dam besides other edu cational field trips. The sixth graders also experienced the self discipline the Academy offers. The members participated in such seasonal sports as football, basketball, baseball and swim ming under their various coaches. The year wasn’t all fun and games, however. The cadets studied elementary subjects including mathematics, English, reading, social science, and spelling.

The Eagles of the Junior School football league won their third straight company championship and wrapped up their second undefeated season, coached this time by Lt. William Smith. The Eagles made a bid for their third champi onship right from the start by downing the Lions 27-0. The points were scored by the inability of the second-string Lions to hold Jack Loften. Run ning from a single-wing formation, Lofton got away for two touchdowns in the second quarter, another in the third, and still another in the fourth. He added two extra points while the third was scored by Marvin Culwell. The second game was played before a large gathering of parents assembled for Dad’s Day activity. The Eagles clawed the Lions 15-0 in a game marred by numerous penalties by both sides. In the third game, the Eagles posted a 13-0 victory. In the final game, the Eagles routed the Lions when they took the opening kickoff over for a touchdown. But then the Lion defense stiffened and their offense twice drove inside the Eagle 20-yard line. But they couldn’t get the ball across the goal line and took a 7-0 loss in the final which gave the Eagles their 4-0 record.

Bravo Cadets

Had Good Year The Junior School’s Bravo Company under the leadership of Cadet Lt. Tom Caputa had a very successful and rewarding year in 1968-69. With the help and instruction of Major Robert O. Piper, head of the Junior School Military Department, the Bravo Company cadets won the honor flag several times at battalion reviews and had the distinction of carrying it during the Government In spection review. Major Piper ranked the Junior School cadets by the “military check” system and at the end of each three-month period decorated several cadets for outstanding military achievement. These military checks are given during the Junior School’s military period during competitive drill each Friday afternoon. The upper half of the better-judged cadets were awarded a per mit once each month. Over a three-month period a Military Bar award is given to those cadets showing superior military, academic, barracks and disciplinary qualities.

B Company commander and the first to make officer was Cadet Lt. Tom Caputa.

The Final Taps... It is difficult to visualize the finish of anything, but as things must have a beginning, so must they have an end. At Missouri Military Academy, the year started with reveille and a march to the dining hall. It ended with bugler Bill Gant playing taps and the slow lowering of the flag marking the end of the academic year. For 50 of the 250 senior school cadets, it was their final year. For some, it marked the end

of six years of life at the Academy. The yearbook editors and staff have tried to capture some of that year of life on film and paper to preserve it for cadets. But many of the memories cannot be photographed nor written down on paper. They can be captured only in the mind and heart, and carried there by the cadet when he leaves.
