A Decade Ends...

Each year at Missouri Military Academy begins in much the same way; with a smile, a welcoming handshake, a greeting between friends. New acquaintances are made and old friends are rejoined after the summer vacation.

Long before the official opening of the Academy, Sep­ tember 4, many cadets and the entire faculty had arrived and football players were already well into their practice season, after a week of training. Cadet officer designates had arrived for instructions and preparations before the recruits would step onto the campus for their first time as students of the school.

Yes, in a general way, the school year 1969-70 was similar to any other year, with the same events happening at approximately the same time, and of course, in the same location, But in a more specific sense, no other year can ever be the same.

The school year saw the end of an old decade and the beginning of a new one. Two men had already walked on the surface of the moon, and two more would step onto that barren mass before the year had ended. A word “ - -ology,” came to have a new and important meaning, '.dents across the country began to take an active in controlling the pollution of our water and air. .’rcraft Company again introduced another revoluJr travel, the giant 747.

Id be impossible for one person to list all the imevents that occur in the lives of 350 cadets within • j - nine-month stay. Therefore, this book has been created to present a formal record of the varied lives, the activ­ ities, and the interests of the Cadet Corps.

Certainly credit and thanks should be given to the mem­ bers of the “Taps” staff—24 cadets, who gave of their time to lay out pages, take pictures, and sell advertising, so that this book could be printed.

Also, many thanks to the advertiser^ listed in the rear of this book for their financial assistance, and to the parents and patrons, who made contributions and bought copies of the annual.

Finally, a sincere thanks to Lt. E. L. Gilmore, adviser of “Taps” the man who was actually responsible for this publication meeting its deadlines.

September Brings High Expectations

■I

As the summer came to a close, former cadets began to look forward to coming back to school with thoughts of what the new year would hold for them. Some thought of gaining rank, some thought of varsity football practice, and some thought of graduation at the end of the year.

The new cadets were wondering what life at the Academy would hold. The new cadets arrived in a flurry of activity. There were tests, orientation, people to meet, strange procedures to be learned.

A highlight for the former cadets was looking over the new library built over the summer months. Also added in the same new structure was an expanded dining hall which eliminated meal-time space problems.

The varsity football players came on campus early to get in some practice before upcoming games.

After a week of getting accustomed to the disciplined life, the new cadets relaxed at the recruit mixer where they met teen-aged girls from the town. Then, in the days following, life got into full swing.

For the new cadets, too, there was the experience of meeting the Commandant of Cadets, Capt. Charles W. Vines. Some would be seeing him many times before the year ended to discuss problems of disciplinary tours.

In all, for both former cadets and new cadets, the beginning of the year was strange and fascinating.

A popular spot to sit and chat was

the new M. M.A. Library, where a

reception took place.

Rain Dampens Dad’s Day Scene Heavy rainfall caused several complications in the Dad’s Day weekend at Missouri Military Academy, but it didn’t cancel any events.

The rain fell at regular intervals both Saturday and Sunday of the weekend. The total for two days was 11 inches and it caused some trouble for parents who had to travel back and forth between outlying motels and the Academy.

Eventually the creek through the campus overflowed, but little damage was caused. Cadets helped move equip­ ment from the field house basement where the Military Department is housed, and helped sandbag window areas Sunday afternoon.

Homecoming Highlighted November Homecoming highlighted November at Missouri Military Academy. Alumni and parents of present cadets gathered early Nov. 8 for activities that lasted all day and part of the next.

M.M.A. lost the football game to Kemper, 12-6. Unlike Dad’s Day, the weather was bright and clear.

Band Company won the barracks decorating contest.

A new scoreboard presented by the Alumni Association and the classes of 1968 and 1969 was dedicated on Colonels’ Field. Mac Scarborough of the class of 1940 was elected president of the Alumni Association. It was announced that the alumni had renewed a campaign for a new swim­ ming pool.

But November was not just Homecoming alone. On Nov. 11 cadets stood silently for one minute on Veterans’ Day as cadets have done since the end of World War I where many graduates served in trenches.

Evensong tryouts began; the educational tour dates were announced. Kevin Metheny and Karl Hirsch competed in the Mexico high forensic tournament where Metheny won first in radio speaking.

Major Paul Cherches was elected to the executive board of the Teachers Council, Independent Schools of the Central States.

The Dramateers put on their first play, “A Cook for Mr. General.” A new radio club started operation in a refurbished room in the former rifle range, with Cadet Robin Boyer as the prime mover.

At the fall athletic awards dinner, about two-thirds of the Cadet Corps received letters and awards for partici­ pation in the varsity, battalion and Junior School football programs.

Winter Moves Across Campus As late fall drew to a close and winter began, the campus scene and campus activities changed. The leaves fell, and crews of Junior Schoolers helped Russell Jerichow’s workmen clean them up.

The basketball season began with Capt. David Steinmetz and Lt. Gary Huskey as coaches. Swimming practices started under Lt. Keith Byerly and wrestling started with Major Joe Bailey, the veteran coach in charge. Sgt. Major Bolinski took over the rifle team coaching.

In the period just before Christmas cadets had barracks parties and children from Missouri School for the Deaf were guests. Then just before furlough, the cadets attended the 29th Evensong service of reading and carols in Mem­ orial Chapel.

After the cadets returned to campus, activities slowed.

Fusileers prepared for drill meets. Some cadets spent some time skating on Teardrop Lake. But mostly,it was a case of study, drill, formations and more study in an effort to get back into the Academy routine.

Academy Conducts Contest in Art The Kathryn C. Epple Memorial Art Contest, started this year, ran from Feb. 14-28 and Cadet Richard Stod­ dard won the grand sweepstakes with his painting “Lone Pine.”

Other highlights of February were the 33rd annual Valentine Ball sponsored by the Junior Class, and the fourth annual battle of the bands. “The Black Orchid,” a combo made up of Karl Hirsch, John Mosby, Terry Cobb and Robin Caiman won first place. Hirsch, the vocalist, sang one of his own compositions.

The Educational Tour also left the campus with Col. C. R. Stribling in charge. It toured St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands and San Juan Puerto Rico. It was the 22nd annual tour. Lt. Col. E. R. Jackson and Mrs. C. R. Stribling also accompanied the 48 cadets.

Winter trimester examinations were also conducted in February.

Cadets attended two assemblies. The Rev. Jim Post, chaplain of the penitentiary in Kansas, spoke on prison life and crime. Rep. William Hungate, 9th district Con­ gressman, talked on the way Congress is run.

In sports, the varsity basketball team ended its season with a record of two victories and fifteen losses.

After a long period of record cold, warm weather came back to the campus toward the end of the month.

March-April Pace Quickened Academy activity moved into March and April at a steady pace. The educational tour returned and basketball, wres­ tling and swimming were in the sports spotlight.

A big event—spring furlough—came in late March, as it always does. Preceding the furlough, cadets and families attended the annual spring concert by the band and Glee Club.

Following furlough, the pace picked up as cadets made initial preparations for events such as commencement and government inspection. But first came the Tulip Ball on April 18, and the announcement that the Fusileers, M.MoA.’s crack drill team, had won first place in standard drill, second place in exhibition drill, and Craig Malcolm had won first in individual drill at the University of Illinois drill championships. Cadet Keith Lance, the unit’s com­ mander, was named the cadet with the “most outstanding military bearing.”

Lt. Col. Dick Noonan, a former cadet, arrived on campus and presented the corps a new award to be given the cadet most outstanding in field events.

Musicians from the Academy competed in the district at Mexico High and won several honors. Then they advanced to the state meet and won there, too.

The Eagle won All-American honors again.

Tom Eilers and Bill Siegel returned from Washington, D.C., where they attended the President’s Classroom for Young Americans.

May Brought Frenzied End May at Missouri Military Academy lasts scarcely more than three weeks, but more is jammed into that period than any other two months. Cadets have such things as final exams to worry about, but there is more, too.

High on the list would be Government Inspection when Army officers come around to check the corps to see if it deserves an honor rating. Major Malcolm Schwartzenbach led the inspectors this year, and at commencement it was announced M.M.A. received the honor rating for the 41st time in 41 years.

Mother’s Day was another highlight of May with the traditional flower pinning ceremony on the front campus.

Some groups were active in competition. Athletic teams competed in the Tri-Military, the Fusileers won the State Military Scho championship again, the Eagle received another 11-F/ souri rating, and band members and Glee Club rr.. bev ere winning honors at state.

Commencement Day Arrives Uncertain weather greeted visitors and cadets on commence­ ment weekend. But in general the rain held off through the W. Wallace Fry Speaking Contest, the competitive drills the next day, the awards assembly and the commencement dance on Saturday.

Again rain threatened but all went well through the senior review and commencement itself, where the cadets heard Maj. Gen. Jack Fuson, a graduate of 1939, urge them to take up the challenge of leadership.

By the end of the commencement exercises, it began to rain, but not enough to stop the “Au Revoir” ceremonies on the front campus. There 1970 cadets gathered in ranks for the last time. With a final order of dismissed, a loud shout went up, and dozens of hats were sailed into Teardrop Lake where many were retrieved by small boys.

ADMINISTRATION ..

Administrators Directed Corps

Surrounded by mementoes of his 50 years with the Academy, Col. C. R. Stribling, chairman of the board, is active in the school operation.

Colo Charles Stribling in, in his second year as presi­ dent continued plans to improve the physical facilities of the Academy. Cadets returned to find a newly completed library and added dining room space. In the talk stage before the year was over were plans for a new swimming pool.

Col. C. R. Stribling was chairman of the board. He taught English and again led the educational tour—this year to Puerto Rico.

Capt. Charles W. Vines was named to head the English Department, but to most cadets he is known chiefly as the commandant—the man who deals with discipline problems in the corps.

Major Paul Cherches headed the M.M.A music depart­ ment and was decorated for his 20 years distinguished service to the Academy. Through those y rs h. has led M.M.A. band to a number of honors.

Capt. Vines Leads English Dept.

The English Department had one major change made over the summer months with the announcement that Capt. Charles W. Vines, commandant of cadets, would be department head. Col. Charles Stribling III, Academy president, in effect replaced himself in announcing the change.

Colonel Stribling continued to teach his class of honors junior English. Col. C. R. Stribling, chairman of the Acad­ emy board, continued to teach his class of senior English.

Captain Vines taught sophomores and Major Courtney Durham taught the freshmen. Lt. E. L. Gilmore and Capt.

Fred Mauk each had a class of juniors.

There were two newcomers to the English department.

Lt. David Arnold taught a senior class and Lt. Robert Bahr taught classes of juniors and sophomores.

Almost all of the teachers had duties other than just teaching English. Besides the jobs connected with ad­ ministration in the case of the two colonels and Captain Vines, Lt. Gilmore supervised publications, Captain Mauk taught vocal music, Major Durham directed the plays put on by the Dramateers, and Lt. Bahr supervised the pro­ duction of the campus literary magazine “At Ease.”

In his first year as head of the department, Captain Vines continued programs much as they were set up in planning sessions the year before. However, for next year many of the English programs will be doing extensive revision and updating to keep ahead of trends.

Science Dept.

Gets New Lab A combination of returning teachers and new teachers continued the science program during the year. Major John Reddick, who was also guidance counsellor, headed the department. He also taught a course in earth science.

Capt, James Marley, head of the Mathematics Depart­ ment, also taught the section on physics as he did the year before.

Newcomers to the science faculty were Lt. Keith Byerly and Lt. Ron Kelly. Lt. Byerly taught chemistry. Cadets also found he was a rugged outdoor enthusiast who liked canoeing, snowshoeing, and bowhunting and had once been a member of a snowmobile expedition to the north pole.

Lt. Kelly came to M.M.A. and ime. ately found he had the newest in laboratory facilitie Bee -se of the addition of the new study hall library, a arm classroom could be converted to a new biology lai: Under his direction cadets carz d ol several biological projects.

Math Department Saw Changes The Mathematics Department underwent a change of leadership during the year. Capt. James Marley became the new department head, taking the job of Capt. Mok Tokko. Capt. Tokko left for Iowa State University, where he is currently working on his doctorate in mathematics.

The department continued its computer programming course for the cadets who finished their regular classwork.

The course was taught by Lt. Ray Campbell. An innovation this year was the rental of IBM 360 computer to run the programs.

Lt. Campbell also taught Algebra II and general mathematics. He was a resident of Delta Company, and coached the football and basketball teams.

Capt. David Steinmetz completed his fourth year at the Academy. He taught Algebra I and Geometry. He also coached varsity football, varsity basketball, and varsity tennis teams.

Newcomers to the math department staff were Lt. Keith Byerly, who taught geometry, and Lt. Pat Magoon, who taught Algebra I and General Math.

Language Lab Built to Expand Again the Language Department was headed by Lt. Col. Eugene Lamn, who is also principal.

Colonel Lamn was named to the Evaluation Committee of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and to the Public Relations Committee of the Independent Schools Association of the Central States in early 1970. Colonel Lamn teaches Spanish I, II, now, but will teach Spanish in next year and if there is enough interest Spanish IV the year after next.

Capt. Ernest Lehto is the other member of the Language Department. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina. Captain Lehto taught Latin I and n in previous years, but this year he started teaching French I. In preparation he went to Wake Forest University of WinstonSalem, N.C., High Point College, High Point, N.C., and to the University of Missouri at Columbia, Mo. The Language Lab was completed with expansion in mind. It will consist of two carrels now and two heavy duty class room tape recorders, one multi-purpose recorder that will be able to record tapes and play tapes and records through earphones.

Others on the staff were Major Joe Bailey, Major Kenneth Mortenson, Major Courtney Durham, and Lt. Gary Huskey.

One of the greater emphasis was placed on current affairs.

Major Bailey said, “There was so much happening so fast that it created a greater interest in what’s happening in today’s world.”

Lt. Gary Hollenberg teaches from a relaxed position.

Staff Provided Needed Services Tn an academy such as Missouri Military, there must be heads and subheads in charge of the various fields of maintenance and care of the cadets.

First and foremost, cadet health is very important. In this field Dr. Peter Ekern was the school physician. Mrs. Harry McCoy was the head nurse at the cadet infirmary.

The maintenance staff headed by Mr. Russell Jerichow followed by his hard-working crew kept the campus clean and the buildings spotless.

Making sure that the cadets heads were well groomed was Dallas Osterhaut, the Academy barber.

Keeping records and grades was Mrs. Mary Kehl, secretary to the principal. In the administration building, Mrs. Warren Graham was secretary to Col. Charles Stribling III until an illness late in the year. Then Mrs. Dorathy Sumpter took over. Also working in the office was Mrs. Sarah Heberer.

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ward ran the cadet canteen.

Upperclass Officers Planned Events Officers of the junior and senior classes took on the tasks of providing the work for various social functions during the year. They were assisted by their class spon­ sors, Capt. Thomas Wiles for the seniors, and Lt. Gary Huskey for the juniors.

At the Academy, the primary job facing the two classes is preparing decorations, tickets, time and effort for two major social events of the year. The Valentine Ball, falling on Valentine’s Day this year, was the junior class

project. The Tulip Ball on April 18 was the work of the senior class.

In addition, both class officers arranged and conducted some of the informal dances during the year.

Keith Lance was president of the senior class, assisted

by Rick Hart and Randy Etzkorn. Heading the juniors was Chris Naeter with Terry Pullman and Bob Baer as his elected officers.

Keith Ray Lance Keith Lance, as President of the Senior Class, led the class through an interesting year. Keith was chosen to command the academy’s drill team, the Fusileers, and led them through top honors at both the National Invitational Drill Meet in Champaign, Illinois, and at the meet at the University of Missouri at Columbia. At the Nationals, the Fusileers won a first and second place, and Lance himself was honored with a medal for the unit, commander con­ sidered to have the best military bearing of all the com­ manders of units at the meet. Lance became the company commander of Echo Company, and prepared that unit for the Government Inspection in May. Under Keith, the Senior class sponsored several informal dances, as well as the annual Tulip Ball, which was held in April.

Louis Donald Adolf Louis Adolf ranked high in the academic ranks of his class since the first year he came to M.M.A., winning two scholarship plaques, his Freshman and Sophomore years, and finishing second in his graduating Class. Louis was also a four-year member of Delta Phi, the Academy’s academic honor society.

But besides his academic achievements, Louis gained successes in other areas of Academy life. In athletics, he was best noted for his swimming abilities, lettering on the varsity team both his Junior and Senior years, winning one of the highest swimming awards available, the Schmoeller-Green trophy, his Senior year.

A person could always get Jim in­ volved in an argument or just a friendly conversation, covering practically any subject. And if one got involved enough, he would always learn something from Jim. He was not only a tiger in conversation, but in football competition in the battalion league, where he was a starting defensive linebacker for the Alpha Company Green Wave, winning a letter for his participation during the 1969-70 season.

Will became one of the leading members of the Dramateers, and performed in several of the leading roles in his two years. He tried out for the Fusileers his Junior year, was selected, and his senior year, was a member of the first team. Will also was an asset to the athletic teams he joined.

He was one of the starting Battalion basketball players during both of the seasons he participated.

Robin Craig Boyer It might be said that Robin Boyer was the “voice of M.M.A.” At least, his voice was heard throughout the Mexico area by owners of Citizens Band Radio equipment. C.B. was Rob’s hobby and he worked hard to form the M.M.A. Radio Club, and to get space in the basement of the Band building set aside for storing equipment, and transmitting messages, which was a relief for many other cadets because often, at close range, the radio would be picked up by stereo equipment.

David Paul Braverman Dave

David was one of the section leaders in E responsible for the excellence which that floor achieved during this school year. He was a two-year member of the Academy’s drill team, the Fusileers, traveling with it to Champaign, Illinois, and to Colum­ bia, Missouri, for drill competition in 1969. A three-year Senior, Dave became a platoon leader in Echo his last year. David was an active member of the Varsity Swimming team, and a letterman in his junior and senior years. He was ninth in his class academically.

David Marc Chifos David Chifos was one of the most colorful Seniors in the class.

He was the type of guy who didn’t let too many things bother him; he just sort of took them as they came. He, as most resi­ dents of D Company, liked to kick up his heels and have fun, often at the wrong time, though. Dave spent his first three falls as as a member of Delta’s “Blue Devils” football team, as an offensive and defensive tackle. Often Dave provided the extra little push that helped that team to many victories.

Charles Christopher Coogan Chris was the Class of 1970’s cadet with the initials C.C.C.C.C. (Cadet Corporal Charles Christopher Coogan), a position held by only one other cadet before him. Chris, being one of the taller cadets on campus, was chosen for the Color Guard his Senior Year. He was the drummer for the “Cold Water Army,’’ the group that won the Battle of the Bands in 1969. Among his other achievements, Chris was chosen as a Semifinalist for the Unites States Military Academy at West Point.

Stephen Michael Doolittle Steve Doolittle, along with his three-year roommate, Jim Headstream, was the commander of the basement floor of Delta Company his Senior year. Steve was known for his excellent disciplinary conduct throughout his three years at M.M.A. He received the Maroon Bar practically every month, and was the winner of three Meritas Plaques. His Senior year, Steve was honored as one of the few three-year officers. Becoming interested in Company football his junior year, Steve began playing for Delta and during the 1969 season was elected one of the captains of the team.

Merrill Thomas Eilers One of the most interesting stories surrounding Tom was how he achieved his nickname, “Max.” It came his freshman year from Capt. Charles Vines, his English teacher, who, recalling another Eilers named Max from previous years, pinned the title onto him, and it stuck. In fact it stuck so well, a large portion of the cadets corps did not know his real name was Tom! Max was admitted to Delta Phi his senior year. One of more interesting achievements was in the field of public speaking where Tom placed second in the V.F.W. sponsored “Voice of Democracy” speech contest for the Audrain County area.

Scott Michael Forrest The Hunter

A one-year resident of Echo barracks, Scott was by far one of the most even-tempered cadets on campus. He always seemed to have something pleasant to say. Even though he was a first-year Senior, and didn’t have much time at M.M.A., Scott got along well in many phases of cadet life. He adjusted to the routine of the cadets quickly after September, and be­ came a first-order private, an honor attained by only a few each year. Scott’s athletic abilities showed when the spring track season arrived. As a pole vaulter, he became one of the starting team members, and a fir st-place winner in several meets.

Gregory Kirk Foster Greg was another cadet that followed his brother to M.M.A., and Greg even took the nickname of his brother Mike, (with a minor change), “Spike, Jr.” A two-year resident of Delta Company one of which was spent in the luxury rooms in the basement, Greg was active as a member of the Campus M.P.’s, one of the more elite organizations. Greg also followed his brother onto the cinders, as he became an active member of the varsity track team in running events, and the captain of that team his Senior year.

Jorge Garcia-Munoz de Cote George was one of the more respected cadets at M.M.A., not only for his numerous athletic victories, but because of his fine attitude toward his work in athletics and other phases of Academy action. Jorge participated in several track events and did especially well in the 100 yard dash.

He also showed a lot of “guts” and skill as a member of the Echo Battalion championship football team for two years.

Jorge was quite proud of his country, Mexico, and its customs, and as other residents of E learned, he liked to listen to mariachi records!

Paul was one of four cadets selected to the awesome tasks of company commander his senior year. Paul, a three-year member of the Fusileers, was the group’s assistant com­ mander. He was Drum Major for the Marching Band during his entire Junior year, when the group went to the Presidential Inaugural in Washington, D.C. and to the Inauguration parade for Gov. Warren Hearnes. Gillette participated as a back on four Battalion football teams and was on the varsity basketball team three years.

Curtis Ray Glasscock Probably more than anything else he did on campus, Curt read. Some say he was even better for a quick summary of a book than “Cliff Notes.” In his two years at M.M.A. he always approached everything with an open mind, and a friendly point of view. He was a resident of Echo Company during his entire time at the Academy, and his Senior year, gained the promotion to the rank of sergeant. His size aided him in becoming one of the real “fireballs” of Echo Company’s championship football team, and a terror for Echo’s opposition in basketball.

Richard Wayne Hart II When Rick began his Freshman year, he couldn’t play any instrument, but after a half year of private music lessons, he was able to join the marching band and rise in its ranks to become its commander, and one of the highest ranking cadets in the Battalion. Rick often found enjoyment just sitting in his room listening to music or playing cards. (His favorite game— “Harts” of course). Rick plans to become an engineer and has spent time preparing for that field by taking several science courses, from which he benefited and received enjoyment.

James William Headstream Jr. Jim Headstream had the distinction of being the only cadet on campus who, in three years, did not receive one single tour, thus winning for himself 27 maroon Bars, and three Meritas Plaques. Jim was selected as one of the few three-year officers, the mark of an outstanding cadet. His Senior year, Jim became the commander of the basement of D Barracks, and one of that company’s platoon leaders. His Junior year, Jim was the com­ mander of the Color Guard, an elite group consisting of only four cadets. Jim was noted for his superior ability in company athletics and was rewarded for his participation. He was captain of both the company football and basketball teams his Senior year.

Karl Fredrick Hirsch

By Karl’s Senior year, he had earned the respect of practically everyone around him. Karl’s natural talent was in his voice.

He was producer-announcer for M.M.A.’s monthly television show as well as its twice weekly radio sports show. Karl won the Fry Speaking Cup his Junior year and also entered several speech contests in the Mexico area, placing in the finals. Another of Karl’s great assets was his wit, a trait which should serve him well if he enters the field of radio broadcasting. In Karl’s Senior year, he organized a band, and with a song Karl wrote himself, won the annual Battle of the Bands in February.

Often Dan was asked to transcribe sound from records to tape, which he did with the advanced equipment. Through his background in electronics, (he built his own amplifier and receiver) Dani also paid meticulous attention to details when setting up science experiments.

Robert Christopher Hopmann Beyond a doubt, Bob Hopmann was one of the more colorful cadets in the Senior Class, or at least he tried to be. Bob was known to be a very informal type of guy, sort of easy going and just taking things as they came along. This may have been due, in part, to his Arkansas background, of which he always seemed quite proud. In the Battalion Football League, Bob became one of the most feared ball carriers, as he charged through Echo Company’s line, gaining yards. He was also quite active on the Company basketball team of Echo, starting and lettering both his Junior and Senior years.

Eric must be first given credit and praise as the Business Manager of the 1970 Taps. It was Eric’s job to solicit ad­ vertising for the book from parents as well as the Mexico area businessmen. Without this advertising, the book could not have been published. But besides his work for Taps, Eric was active in other areas. He was an outstanding Company football player, lettering every year he went out, and making the All-Star squad his Junior year. It was much the same case for Eric in Company Basketball. He lettered two years and became an All-Star. In his Senior year he played on the varsity team.

Greg was a musician, and one heck of a football player in the Battalion league. As a musician, “Smack” played French Horn in the Concert Band, earning a I Rating at the District Music Contests, and a II at State, and a melophone player in the Marching Band, with which he went to Washington, D.C. for the inauguration his first year. As a football player, Greg was quarterback for the C Company Red Raiders, earning himself a letter, selection as a Battalion football All-star, and the plaque for the best Battalion Backfieldman, that award given to him by a vote of the sports writers and announcers in the publications department of M.M.A.

David Lee Kern David was beyond a doubt one of the most intelligent cadets in the Senior class. He began attending M.M.A. in his Junior year, and ended his Senior as valedictorian. David also had a great gift of satiric humor. Often he was rewriting stories or other literature to produce laughter among his friends. Though David sometimes became a bit gross in his explanations of the things he felt, he was a good friend to have some fun with or just sit around and talk to.

Besides his obvious recognition of being the highest ranking cadet, the battalion commander, Ted was particularly interested in music. He played on various campus rock groups during his four years. He was considered outstanding on the lead guitar and spent a large amount of his free time just sitting in his room playing and singing either by himself or with anyone who happened to drop by and join in. Ted was a major addition to his company football teams, playing back and on the line.

One of Lee’s major talents was in the field of Mathematics.

He received academic distinctions in both Algebra I and II. Doing what most Americans think comes natural to people of Oriental background, Ho Tack was well versed in the sport of Judo. Through his efforts, the M.M.A. Judo Club continued to operate, when its former head Capt. Mok Tokko, left the faculty.

Robert was well-known as being one of the more outspoken members of the senior class, as he never failed to make known his opinions and complaints.

His Senior year, Leonard was one of the main members of the group, and not only did he act, but he wrote a one-act play which was performed in February. Leonard also gained a name for himself as a member of Echo Company’s football team. He was on the starting team both his Junior and Senior years.

Bart was a member of the “03”, or honors, section of several of his academic classes. Bart remained relatively unnoticed during his two years, which also helped account for the fact that he was seldom wanted by the disciplinary department for tours. Bart will be remembered for his easiness in the presence of others and his friendly attitude toward others.

Jaime Gonzalo Luzio Jaime Luzio was one of the persons responsible for the power of the Echo Company championship football team in 1969. It seemed as soon as the other team snapped the ball, Jaime was in their backfield, tackling the ball carrier. His performance was rewarded with both a company letter, and a medal for the Battalion Football All-Star team. Because he came to M.M.A. in the middle of his Junior year, Jaime had relatively little time to make many achievements at the Academy, but he did make many friends, which was just as important to him.

Machado was not outstanding his first or second year, but when he returned his senior year, Oscar set some goals for himself and began to work hard. Oscar proved he could be an excellent leader and won the respect and admiration of the other cadets in his barracks. He was often stern and some­ times rough, but everyone knew he expected the best and he got it. His Senior year, Oscar became a starting company football and company basketball player, lettering in both sports.

Tom’s home, Dharhan, Saudi Arabia, was always a topic of discussion with him, especially concerning oil companies and the Arab-Israel War. Football and basketball were “Messy’s” best sports. Tom played both on the line and in the backfield when on the grid­ iron, and was one of the top point scorers on the varsity basketball team, which he captained his senior year. Also during that Senior year, Tom was voted by his teammates as the most valuable player on the varsity basketball team.

In the Dance Band, Mark played a rather unique instrument, a valve trombone. He was one of the first cadets to play such an instrument in several years.

Gerald Alan Pate Being a member of both the marching and concert bands as well as one of the better saxophone players in the group, Jerry was naturally interested in music. His senior year, Jerry was chosen to play a solo part during one of the concert numbers at the Pop concert in March. Jerry was also an active parti­ cipant in the battalion basketball program during the winter months, as a member and captain of the team from Band Company. Jerry plans to attend Southwest Missouri State College at Springfield, Mo., in September.

Ronald Dean Puhi Ron was a two-year resident of C Company before the building became the quarters of the Band, and then he moved to Delta Company. His Senior year, Ron was selected as the executive officer for that company, and shared in the duties of running a barracks. His major talent, firing, was also Ron’s major interest. He was quite proficient with a rifle and was an asset to the Rifle team. His Junior year, Ron fired highest in D to win that company’s marksmanship medal.

Mark Thomas Robertson Mark Robertson was always one of the first A company members to be seen whenever that company passed in re­ view, as he was that Company’s guidon bearer throughout the year. But he occasionally had to give up that position, in order to function with the Campus Military Police. Mark was especially active in varsity athletics. He participated on the varsity football, swimming and track. In track, Mark was busy with pole-vaulting and high jumping, two of the more difficult field events. He also won the battalion spelling championship in his senior year.

Manuel Romo-Garza No one will ever be able to forget Manuel Romo and his hot temper. His first year, that temper got Manuel into trouble on several occasions, but through control, and a few tours, Romo cooled off. A two-year resident of Delta Company, Manuel was active in the company football squad, in which he lettered.

Delta Company basement was his home his Senior year, and often he, with his roommate Marcello Trevino, would drive the third roommate, Jim Smedley, up a wall with frequent parties with other Spanish speaking Latin Americans.

Horace Elvin Shuffield Jr. Big E

Even as only a three-year man, Elvin rose in the ranks of Echo Company to become one of its leaders. Elvin, and his roommate Dave Braverman, were the Second Floor Commanders of E and were responsible for that floor being the cleanest in the barracks. One of Elvin’s favorite subjects was Business.

He took both Business Law and Bookkeeping his Senior year to prepare for college where he plans to major in Business. Elvin was a varsity tennis player, and became one of its letterman both his Junior and Senior years.

William Harry Siegel Bill Seigel began as a first-year man in his Junior year, and by January of the next year, had become a cadet Sergeant.

Bill also was a leader of the Senior class academically. He finished in third position. His Senior year Seigel was selected

by M.M.A. to be one of its representatives at the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans. Bill spent a week in late February in Washington, D. C., attending seminars and lectures on how the American Government functions. After returning, he and Tom Eilers, who also went on the trip, presented an assembly to the entire Cadet Corps.

William Robert Skaggs Skagger

Bill Skaggs seemed to be a rather jolly sort of person. At least he always seemed to be smiling. Bill was active in a variety of athletic activities throughout his years at M.M.A. He was a starter and two-year letterman on Echo Company’s championship football teams of 1968 and 1969. He participated on the varsity wrestling team during the winter months, and in the spring, turned outside to the track team, where he participated in the field events.

William Penn Davis Stafford Penn’s specialty was the trumpet. Not only did he just play in the marching and concert bands with it, but often he would give up his free time to attend home basketball games to sit and play in the cheering section. Stafford was active in Battalion as well as varsity athletics. He was recognized as one of the harder playing company football backs-linemen as he was awarded an All-Star medal his Senior year. Penn played on the company basketball team his Sophomore year, and his Senior year, worked as an assistant coach for the Band Company Red Raiders.

Rick had a well-rounded and successful career at M.M.A. He was an active member of the Glee Club, singing solo parts in many of that group’s functions, such as the Christmas Evensong.

He also appeared to enjoy varsity athletics, and received many awards and honors for his participation in football, wrestling, and track. Another of Rick’s successes was being chosen a member of the M.M.A. corps of officers, serving as an executive officer in Delta Company, and as the battalion adjutant. His Senior year, Rick became the cadet director of the Glee Club and Mystical Singers.

David Chester Thompson Dave, or “Turkey” as his friends called him, was by far one of the most cheerful cadets on the campus. Although he was a first-year Senior, Dave seemed to get along well with all the other members of the Senior Class, as if he were a member of the “Old Crowd.” He’ll probably be best remembered for his participation in Battalion Basketball league. He always seemed to amaze cadets with his dexterity in handling the roundball.

This amazement was seconded by the coaches of the company teams, as they selected him as one of the five All-Stars for the season.

Jorge Federico Travieso George led a varied life at M.M.A. He was active in many organizations, starting his first year in the Dramateers, where he acted in that group’s presentation of “Stalag 17.” His Sophomore year, George won the school-wide spelling contest and the spelling plaque, and finished in the finalists his Junior year. George was active as a member of the Varsity Basketball team for two years, traveling with them to various other high schools for competition. At the beginning of his Senior year, George was very helpful in orienting the first-year men from the Latin American countries, as he was the only officer with active knowledge of Spanish.

Marcelo Trevino-Garza The Spick 5

Marcello was one of the most likeable Seniors in the class.

He was always cheerful and ready to have a little fun. His favorite pastime must have been to utter a sharp, shrill cackle of laughter, for which he was recognized, at just about anytime.

Marcello adjusted to cadet life quickly his first year, having already had some military training in his home country, Mexico.

He became proficient in his drill and military bearing. His last year was spent with roommates, Manuel Romo and Jim Smedley, in one of the plush basement rooms of Delta Company.

Harry Maxwell Vasconcellos II Bud’s favorite sport and pastime was golf. He was a starting golfer on the varsity team three years and captain of the team his Senior year. During his Junior year, Bud was presented with a special trophy from the golf coach, for being the most out­ standing golfer on the team. As the roommate of the Battalion Commander, he often received fringe benefits that other Seniors didn’t get, but he was the type of guy who usually didn’t try to take advantage of the situation.

Nicholas Doyle Winzenried Nickerbacher

Nick Winzenried must have been the philosopher of the class of 1970, as it seems he was always analyzing the things he saw and did. No one was ever foolhardy enough to dare Nick to do anything, as he would. Nick began his first year in C Company, moved to the Annex of D later in the year, only to return the next year, where he remained. Nick was one of the top clarinet players in the band. He participated in several clarinet quartets which won honors at music contests.

Kent Jay Yoest One thing Kent must have liked to do was keep busy. He was active in many organizations and activities throughout his four years. As editor of the school paper, the Eagle, Kent won top honors for himself as well as the paper in newspaper contests. His Junior year, one of his editorials was selected as best in the state of Missouri in its division.

While beginning in journalism as a writer, in his senior year, Yoest branched out to participate in both the photo­ graphic and radio-T.V. areas of the subject. “Fireplug” was elected president of Delta Phi both his Junior and Senior years, which is an honor seldom attained by an underclassman.

As the Editor of “Taps,” Kent shouldered the main responsibility of seeing that the book was produced on schedule. He also took charge of the Senior section, compiling data on each member of the class, and doing a major portion of the writing.

One final credit must be given to Kent. He was awarded an Army R.O.T.C. four-year college scholarship. He plans to attend the University of Missouri, majoring in Journalism.

Naeter Led Junior Class Chris Naeter was elected president of the Junior Class. Other officers chosen were Bob Baer, vicepresident, and Terry Pullman, secretary-trea ­ surer. Lt. Gary Huskey, a government teacher, was named class sponsor.

The Junior Class was active in all phases of cadet life. On the athletic fields, the teams were helped to a great degree by Junior Class athletic skills. Terry Pullman, Paul Webb, and Tony Wilson were varsity starters in football; Bob Baer, Mike Dickey, Bob Montin, and Pullman were mainstays of the wrestling team. Naeter, Montin, Greg Davis and Wilson were on the baseball team lineup.

Academically, Davis grabbed the lead, but was closely pursued by Jim Cusack. Chris Pedersen, Rick Frahm and Terry Pullman were others high up the class’s academic ranks.

Positions of leadership were also held by juniors.

Naeter was provest of the Campus Military Police and Bill Gant was drum major of the band. Webb was color sergeant, along with three seniors, and several juniors were in the honor winning drill unit, the Fusileers.

The Junior Class sponsored a number of events during the school year. One of the first was an informal dance at the Cadet Canteen early in the fall.

The big dance event, however, was the Valentine Ball in midwinter. This social highlight of that season is traditionally the project of the Junior Class. Cadet mem­ bers of the class spent several hours with their sponsor, Lt. Gary Huskey, making preparations for the event.

“I think it was one of the more successful Valentine Balls,” Class President Chris Naeter said. “I have seen several of them, too.”

Juniors sponsored another informal dance in the spring— this one at Camp Mismilaca.

“We had a very fine year, overall,” Naeter said. ‘‘We are looking forward to our senior year, and we hope it will be the best the Academy has ever had.”

Lehmann Chosen

by Sophomores

Spectators watch cadets at the Sunday review in the field house the day following the Valentine Ball.

Sophomores of 1970 chose Jerry Lehmann as class president, Kevin Metheny as vice president, and Kevin Daniels as secretary-treasurer. For the second year in a row, the class of 1972 elected Capt. David Steinmetz as class sponsor.

The sophomores sponsored two informal dances, both at Mis Milaca, one in October, the other in May. The Cold Water Army played for both. The tenth graders also sponsored a trip to Stephens Playhouse in Columbia, where a busload of cadets saw, “The Sound of Music.”

Carl Barbee led the class academically, followed by Kevin Metheny. Rick Stoddard was the third ranking sopho­ more scholar, with Jim Edmonston, Lloyd Hartley, and Kevin Daniels following.

Daniels and Tom Knoll received three full varsity letters and were named co-captains for the 1970 football team.

Daniels’ teammates also elected him “Most Valuable Back.” Bill Lewis was chosen as the captain of the 70-71 basketball team.

The sophomores began to take positions of leadership; among them were Jerry Lehmann, Daniels, David Ewton, and Rick Stoddard.

Class Vice President Kevin Metheny said, “This year meant many different things to all of us. But we went through it together, as a unit, and much to our surprise we survived. We enjoyed it, and we won’t forget it.”

Cobb Elected

by Freshmen Freshmen of the Academy were a combination of newcomers to cadet life and others up from the Junior School. Shortly after arrival the class elected Terry Cobb as president.

Cobb and Jerry Best served on the Cadet Council. Capt.

James Marley was elected sponsor of the freshman class.

Academically, Joe Alonis took over the lead and steadily widened it throughout the school year. By May he had accumu­ lated 119 honor points—12 more than his nearest competitor, Marc Kirchhoff.

Close behind Kirchhoff was Best and then came John Reddick and Bill Enright.

The freshman class sponsored a skating party at mid-year in which several of the cadets participated. The party was con­ sidered by the class officers as the class’s best of the year.

Colonels Have 5-4 Grid Season When the Missouri Military Academy Colonels opened their fall football camp, prospects' looked brighter than the year before. When the season was over, M.M.A. could boast a winning season of 5-4.

M.M.A. opened the season against Wentworth and lost 28-22. Then followed M.M.A. wins over Western 36-0, and Van-Far 35-22 before another loss to a tough St. Fr Borgia eleven, 28-0. M.M.A. defeated North Callaway 12-8 and M.S.D. 20-14. Principia routed the Colonels 42-16 but M.M.A. won its fifth of the season against Fayette 14-0. In the final game, the Colonels fell to rival Kemper Military School 12-6—the second loss to the Yellowjackets in two years.

In the first game of the season, Wentworth took a 14-0 first quarter lead and the Colonels spent the rest of the game trying to catch up. The Colonels scored once before the half ended and again right after the half. But Wentworth again pulled out in front.

The Colonels had an easy time of it against Western at Alton, Ill. The entire M.M.A. cadet corps was in the stands. M.M.A. reserves played much of the game.

In their home opener, the Colonels trounced Van-Far, a newcomer to the M.M.A. schedule. M.M.A. led 29-0 in the third period. Van-Far did its scoring late in the game against M.M.A. reserves.

Kemper Keeps

Gold Football This year’s M.M.A.—Kemper battle was on Colonels’ Field and a Homecoming crowd saw Kemper win 12-6 to retain pos­ session of the Gold Football.

Kemper scored in the first quarter and again in the third quarter. M.M.A. stopped both extra-point attempts.

After the Yellowjackets scored their initial touchdown, M.M.A. took the kickoff to the 40 yard line and then began a drive which ended with Kevin Daniels scoring from the four yard line.

The extra-point kick effort was wide and the halftime score was 6-6.

Late in the third quarter, Kemper began a steady march which ended in a touchdown. With time running out, the Colonels began a last minute desperation drive. With just seven seconds left, a Kemper linebacker picked off an M.M.A. pass and the game ended before Kemper could get off a play.

Echo defeated Band 24-0 and Alpha 36-0 in preliminary play, then trounced Delta 10-0 and Band 36-0 in the initial playoff games. The Golden Warriors routed Delta 60-0 in the season ending final played in a snowstorm at Col­ onels’ Field to wrap up the title.

Bob Hopmann and C. T. McDaniel led the Echo ground and air attack during the season. But in that 60-0 victory defensive lineman Gary Miller set something of a record by scoring one touchdown on a fumble recovery in the end zone and running for another touchdown when he inter­ cepted a backward pass. Hopmann scored four touchdowns in the big victory.

Alpha took its first loss Oct. 3 to Delta, 20-8. The 8 points came in the fourth period when Chris Naeter ran a 90-yard touchdown play.

The second loss came on Oct. 17 in a game won by Echo, 36-0.

Alpha’s started winning football games Oct. 24 when it beat Band Company, 12-6. Naeter scored one touchdown and Jim Edmonston scored the other. Naeter’s covered 45 yards; Edmonston’s covered 12.

Nov. 7 Alpha played Band again and won 8-6. The touch­ down came at the beginning of the third period when Alpha recovered the kickoff on the Band 1-yard line. One play later Alpha was in for the touchdown and a successful conversion run gave the Green Wave the victory.

Nov. 11 Alpha played Delta to a 14-14 tie. Delta was ahead until the fourth period when Alpha started scoring.

Naeter scored both touchdowns and Scott Harris and Jim Edmonston carried the two-point conversions.

Band Company’s football season was something less than bright during the year when the team failed to win any of its five games. However, Band could take some conso­ lation in knowing its company was the smallest on campus and therefore had the fewest number to choose from in forming a team.

Band’s team, however, put up some good fights, especially against Alpha Company. In a game played Nov. 7, Band led 6-0 late in the game and it looked as if it might win for the first time in two years. But an Alpha touchdown and conversion left Band on the short end of an 8-6 score and the thin hope for a victory was lost.

In another game with Alpha, Band fell 12-6. Against Echo Band lost 24-0 and against Delta Band lost 16-0.

Echo defeated Band the second time around 30-0.

Lt. Gary Huskey coached the Band eleven.

While Band didn’t come through with a victory, its quarterback, Greg Johnson, won the Eagle award as the outstanding back in the Battalion Football League.

Delta Finished Tied for Second Delta Company’s football team took the worst defeat ever suffered by a Battalion League Football game when it fell to Echo 60-0 in the season final. But Delta finished second in the regular season, tied with Alpha. Each had a 2-2-1 record.

Delta got off to a 2-0 start by defeating Alpha 20-8 and Band 16-0. Delta lost its first game to Echo 10-0.

Delta then battled Alpha to a 14-14 tie.

In the season final played in blowing snow, Delta’s team fell apart and Echo romped to the big victory.

Basketball Team Finished 2-15 The Missouri Military Academy varsity basketball team finished the season with two wins, and 15 losses.

A highlight was when the Colonels defeated both Wentworth and Kemper in the same season for the first time since 1959.

Tom Mestrezat led the team with 118 points followed by Eric Johnson with 115.

In the middle of the season, Bob Keagle, a junior, came

to the basketball team, and started to team up with Paul Webb to help with the two victories.

Bill Lewis, 5-foot, 3-inch guard, was elected by the team to be captain for next year’s Colonels. Lewis was the favorite player at the games that other cadets attended.

He ended the season with 99 points, and was able to cause other players to foul him often.

Mestrezat Named Outstanding Cager Capt. David Steinmetz, coach, awarded Mestrezat the Most Valuable Player Award at the Sports Banquet. He was selected by the remaining members of the team.

The season may not of been a winning season, but the players had the highest morale of any varsity sport.

The players rarely argued among themselves, and after losing games, held no grudge against other teams.

The Junior Varsity team was coached to a 0-16 season

by Lt. Gary Huskey. This team was composed of mostly freshmen and sophomores. The leading scorer for the JV team was Fernando Tremari.

Returning men for next year’s team besides Lewis, Tremari, and Keagle, are Kevin Daniels, Bill Daniel, and Greg Davis.

Delta Company’s Blue Devils, coached by Lt. Ray Camp­ bell, dominated the Battalion Basketball League during 1969-70. The Blue Devils won all regular season games, then took first place in the tournament. A class B tourna­ ment was played for the first time this year and Delta’s reserve players—most of them South American cadets— won that tourney, too.

Delta didn’t quite finish the season winning everything, however. In the season final against the BBL All-Stars, Delta lost 55-40. On that All-Star team were Will Berger of Alpha; Dave Thompson of Echo; John Boehmlerof Echo; Randy Etzkorn of Alpha and Dale Lewis of Band. They were coached by Capt. Thomas Wiles of Alpha.

All-Star reserves were Rick Biermann of Alpha; Jim Edmonston of Alpha; Don Bewkes of Alpha; Curtis Glass­ cock of Echo, and Chris Strayhall of Band.

In the A tournament, Delta topped Alpha 50-47 in the final game. Chris Barbre scored 17 for Delta and Randy Etzkorn scored 17 for Alpha.

Delta gained the final by defeating Echo 38-31. Alpha moved into the final with a victory over Band 48-36.

John Boehmler scored 20 points for Echo—high for the game and also the high individual scored for the tournament.

B Tournament Added to Schedule Coaches of the Battalion Basketball League and its “commissioner,” Capt. Ernest Lehto, added a Class B tournament to the schedule this year to give more cadets a chance at competition.

The tournament was especially beneficial to the South American cadets who know how to play basketball, but haven’t had as much experience with it as their North American counterparts.

Delta, the A tournament winner, won the B tournament also by defeating Echo 30-19 in the championship game.

Oscar Gonzalez led Delta with 10 points, but high for both teams was Echo’s Pat Walter. In the preliminary playoff games, Echo defeated Alpha 29-22 and Delta elimi­ nated Band, 31-27. . Besides Lt. Campbell with Delta and Captain Wiles with Alpha, other BBL coaches were Lt. Gary Hollenberg with Band and Lt. Robert Bahr with Echo.

M. M. A. Matmen Recovered from Setback

Missouri Military Academy’s 1969-70 varsity matmen suffered through their first losing season in the long history of wrestling at M.M.A. The Colonels finished their dual matches with four wins, five defeats and one tie.

The Maroon and Gold opened the season with a 29-22 defeat at the hands of the Kemper Yellowjackets, Dec. 5, at M.M.A. This was followed by a 25-21 loss to Went­ worth Dec. 12, also at M.M.A. After furlough, the Colonels were racked up by Helias 40-8, edged by Moberly 25-17, decisioned by Columbia Hickman in the season finale, and held to an 18-18 draw by Principia.

At the start of the season Major Joe Bailey and Lt. Pat Magoon were faced with the task of rebuilding a new team. The season had its bright spots, however. The Maroon and Gold matmen came back to defeat the Fulton Hornets December 10, killed the K. M.S. Yellowjackets 32-14 the second time around, flattened Western’s Red Raiders 48-10, and trounced the Wentzville Indians 31-16.

In the District wrestling competition at Columbia Hick­ man High School, the Colonels finished fifth out of nine competing schools,with 52 points. Individual Colonel matmen placing were Bob Montin 1st, Terry Pullman, Lane Larson, and Pat O’Dea 2nd, and Mike Dickey, 3rd. In the Florissant Valley Junior College Regional in St. Louis, Pullman and O’Dea placed fourth.

Baseball Team Had 6-5 Year The Missouri Military Academy baseball team finished with a winning season. After a three-game losing streak, the Col­ onels ended with a 6-5 record.

Kevin Daniels led the team in hitting, with a .450 average, followed by Tony Wilson with a .406.

All the players on the team were underclassmen, except Will Berger, the catcher. They will all be back for next season.

Some of the Colonels’ victories and losses this season were hard-fought, well-played games. In the first game, a triple by Wilson in the last inning with the bases loaded gave M.M.A. an 8-6 victory. The next day, a three-run homer by Wilson in the last inning gave the Colonels a 6-3 victory over Hallsville.

Whenever the team was losing, there seemed to be someone who could come through with a clutch hit.

The Colonels played without an elected captain, and Coach Earnest Lehto thought that this worked out very well since there was no one person in charge of the team, and everyone was on the same level.

Returning lettermen for the next year are Daniels, Wilson, Chris Naeter, Ricky Biermann, Jack Hannemann, Greg Davis, Jim Izzolena, Don Huscher, Fernando Tremari, Bob Montin, and John Reddick.

Varsity Trackmen 3-1 in Dual Meets The M.M.A. varsity track team was much more success­ ful than in recent years, winding up its season with a 3-1 record in dual competition.

The Colonels routed Community R-6 98 1/2-17 1/2, thumped Kemper 77-54, and dumped University High of Columbia 70-55. The Colonels’ only dual meet loss was to North Callaway, 62 1/2 - 58 1/2 in the first such meet conducted in the field house. Rain forced the meet indoors.

In the State Military Schools championships (Tri-Mil­ itary) in Boonville, the Maroon and Gold totaled 45 1/2 points to tie for second with Kemper. Wentworth won the meet with 56 points.

The Colonels featured Jorge Garcia and Steve Hurych in the dashes, Brian Gershon in the 880, Jerry Lehmann in the high and low hurdles, Ho Tack Lee in the 440, Greg Johnson in the mile, and Jim Kufdakis and Lane Larson in the two mile.

Several M.M.A. records were set during the year. Larson set the two-mile mark at 11:22.6 and Kufdakis broke it with 11:20.4. The 880-yard relay team, comprised of Garcia, Hurych, Rick Thomas, and Chris Coogan, broke the old record of 1:36.6 with a time of 1:32.6.

In the field events, Tom Mestrezat threw the discus, Terry Pullman the shot, Scott Forrest and Sam Ball set school records with ll’-6” in the pole vault, Marc Robert­ son and C. T. McDaniels competed in the high jump, and Lee, Rick Frahm, and Pete McCue in the long jump.

While others compete, members of the Cadet Corps ham it up on the sidelines.

Battalion Meet Was Lots of Fun One of the more popular events during the late spring is the battalion track meet where competition is not very long on performance but it is in fun. Just about everyone in the corps makes an effort to win a medal or at least score a few points for the company.

Rules put a few restrictions on members of the varsity track team. They may compete in the battalion meet, but not in the event in which they specialize on the varsity.

The event winners receive medals at the spring sports award dinner.

Those getting the medals this year were Dani Homrich

in the long jump; Mark Robertson in the high jump; Donald Scott in the pole-vault; Romualdo Romero in the shot-put; Manuel Romo in the discus; Greg Foster, the only double winner, in the high hurdles and low hurdles; Bob Hopmann in the 100-yard dash; Brian Gershon in the mile; Ho Tack Lee in the 440; Jeff Brummet in the 880; Chris Coogan in the 220, and Greg Johnson in the two mile.

Lt. David Arnold, the varsity track coach, supervised the meet aided by other members of the faculty.

Third row—Chris Naeter, Calvin Johnson, Joe Alonis, Mark Peavy, Dave Heuser, Brent Stone.

Homrich Led Rifle Team The rifle team was coached by Sgt. Major Sylvester Bolinski and the team captain was Dani Homrich. During the season the team placed third in the Tri-Military meet.

The M.M.A. team had a 0-5 record along with parti­ cipating in the Camp Perry rifle match at Kemper where Ron Puhi was the team high scorer with 245. Next year’s Captain will be Charles Barney, a letterman from this year.

Homrich of Troy, Mich., was awarded the David Peak Trophy for most outstanding marksman; Ron Puhi of St. Louis won the Robert Moon Trophy for the highest average for kneeling position.

Missouri Military Academy’s Battalion weightlifting con­ test was a close dual between Delta and Echo with Delta placing four and Echo five.

Delta claimed three firsts and one second, while Echo took two firsts and one second and two thirds. Band and Alpha each claimed one second, with Alpha also taking third.

In the intramural sports during the winter, the spot light was on soccer and horse back riding.

Eleven cadets where named to the Missouri Military Soccer All-Star team.

Captain of the team was John Hauck. Members of the All-Star team were Hugo Machuca, David Franke, Jack Heutel, James Heutel, Ernest Ott, Steven Johnson, David Chifos, Marvin Colwell, David Ewton, and Andy Lovenguth.

Lt. Ron Kelly coached the winter sport.

In the spring, many cadets competed in softball and archery. The archers also took turns at playing horseshoes.

Two man-against-man sports occupied some cadets during the year. In the springtime, boxing, coached by Capt. Thomas Wiles assisted by Sgt. Major Sylvester Bolinski had some cadets working out in the basement of the gymnasium.

Then the program was topped off by the Battalion Boxing Tournament, open to all cadets, not just those in the boxing program. Those winning medals were Bob Baer, Dan Davis, Romualdo Romero, Bill Lewis, Jaime Luzio, Jim Smedley, and Terry Pullman.

The field of entries was so large it took a second day of fight rounds to determine the winners.

Judo continued to operate but at a reduced level follow­ ing the departure of Capt. Mok Tokko from the faculty.

But Ho Tack Lee, the lone Korean cadet, with faculty sponsorship by Lt. Ray Campbell, kept things going. The cadets worked out in their free time. Then, in the spring, the former Captain Tokko, a black belt judoist, came down from Ames, Iowa, to pass cadets on judo tests.

When he finished he awarded yellow belts to Louis Adolf, Mike Scifres, Charles Barney, Trent Nies, and also Lt. Campbell, who had no previous experience with the sport.

For Homecoming, A decorations had the theme “A Trip to the Moon.” Outside the barracks the company built a rocket ship mock-up on a launching pad. Recorded music from 2001: A Space Odyssey played over speakers.

A Company excelled in company competition and was often the victor in battalion parades and reviews.

The barracks not only served as home for the cadets but also for Capt. Fred Mauk, a faculty officer. The basement area contained classrooms and Major John Reddick, chief counselor, had his office in the barracks.

A’s counselor was Capt. Ernest Lehto.

Rick Hart Led Band Company For the second year, M.M.A.’s band was in a company of its own known both as C Company or Band Company. Rick Hart was the commanding officer and Mark Nelson was his executive.

Band was the smallest company on campus and in Battalion League athletic competition it suffered at the hands of the other three. Yet Band was not without athletes. Terry Pullman was a varsity football player, wrestler and track­ man while Tom Mestrezat played both football and basketball.

If Band lacked athletic skills, it was strong in the academic department. Percentagewise, Band had more cadets in the top positions of their classes than any company on campus.

One Band Company member, David Kern, was a University of Missouri Curators’ Scholar and a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship program.

Major Paul Cherches, instrumental music director at M.M.A., was also company counselor for Band Company.

Band was a frequent winner in parades and reviews and its Ricki-Lee Showboat theme won the Homecoming decorations contest.

Paul Gillette and Pete McCue were given roles as can-can dancers in the Showboat Homecoming display.

Delta Active In All Areas

P iJ

Athletically, academically and in military, D Company was active in all phases of M.M.A. life during the school year.

D Company’s ‘Alamo’ barracks was the only off-campus residence for cadets during the year. But D also had some other distinctions. In percentages, D had a greater number of cadets from foreign lands than any other company on campus.

Major Joe Bailey was the company’s counselor. Lt. Ray Campbell, a year-round resident of D Company Barracks, was coach of both the football and basketball teams.

On Homecoming Day, D Company came out with a “Charlie Brown’’ and “Snoopy’’ theme.

During the year, D underwent a change in commands.

With the elevation of Ted Lane to battalion commander, Paul Gillette from C Company was given command of D Company. Ron Puhi was executive officer under both Lane and Gillette.

Echo company was not only the newest on campus but was also the largest. The new barracks in which the company resided held 96 cadets.

Highlight for Echo during the year was the performance of its football team in the Battalion Football League. The Golden Warriors swept aside all opposition easily to win the title unbeaten and unscored upon. The Echo gridders capped off the year with a 60-0 trouncing of Delta Company.

Echo based its Homecoming decorations on a theme of “Echo Hotel.”

Captain Wiles Led Military The Military Department, headed by Capt. Thomas Wiles and assisted by Sgt. Major Sylvester Bolinski, provided for drills, classes and tactics.

The military classes are divided into Military Science and Tactic classes 1 through 4. These classes are instructed in the nomenclature of the M-l rifle, leadership qualities, tactics, and then to the act of instructing a class themselves.

The Military Department also sponsored the Missouri Military Academy Fusileers coached by Major Kenneth Mortenson. They received a first in Individual Platoon Drill and a 2nd in Exhibition at the National Illinois Drill Com­ petition at Champaign, Illinois.

Several seniors were assisted by the Military Department in obtaining R.O.T.C. Scholarships this year. The depart­ ment obtained the application forms and then provided recommendations for the seniors. These were Kent Yoest, Tom Mestrezat, and alternate Paul Gillette.

Cadet Corps Wins 41st Honor Rating For the 41st time in succession, M.M.A. won an honor rating following Government Inspection.

At the beginning of May the Cadet Corps began speeding up its preparations for G. I. The cadets began by storing unneeded materials such as old magazines and books. Then the day before G.L the cadets spent an afternoon shining shoes and cleaning rooms. A preliminary inspection was made that night to see that all was in readiness.

Then the big day arrived and the corps passed with praise from the inspectors. They were Major Malcolm Schwartzenbach of Fort Sheridan, DI., and Capt. Glenn Massaro of the University of Missouri ROTC detachment.

Following the inspection, Major Schwartzenbach told Eagle reporter Eric Johnson that he would recommend the honor rating. Also, he praised the cadet corps for its effort in every phase of the inspection—barracks, dismounted drill, class work, in-ranks inspection, and the presentation of drill by A Company commanded by Cadet Capt. Kent Yoest.

For Capt. Thomas Wiles, senior Army instructor, and Sgt. Major Sylvester Bolinski, his assistant, the assurance of another honor rating was pleasing indeed.

ORGANIZATIONS 127

Band Featured at Parades M.M.A.’s instrumental units, the marching band, concert band, stage band, and drum and bugle corps, were again in the center of much of the activity during the year.

The marching band was featured at the University of Missouri Homecoming Parade in Columbia along with the Fusileers, the crack drill team. The band was one of 30 which participated in the Mark Twain Band Festival at Hannibal, Missouri, in November. At the Hannibal festival, the band received a standing ovation from the crowd when it marched by.

“Our uniforms are impressive and we play music which can be marched to,” Major Paul Cherches said, “I think this is the reason why the crowd liked us so well.”

M.M.A.’s band also participated in the district music meet at Mexico High as did many of the individual musi­ cians. Some advanced to the state meet.

With slight variations, the marching band became the concert band for other Academy programs. This band played at concerts before furlough and on Mother’s Day weekend.

From the band, too, came the drum and bugle corps.

Its primary function was playing as cadets marched to meals in formation.

Rick Hart was band commander. Bill Gant was drum major and Mark Nelson was executive officer.

Major Cherches was honored at a review in midwinter for his 20 years with the band.

Cadets Jack Heutel, Terry Pullman, Keith Lance, Bert Cummings, Tim Thompson, and Randy Etzkorn discuss new business at a Cadet Council meeting.

Three Groups Had Vital Jobs Three groups with widely varied duties and roles were integral parts of the functioning of the cadet corps during the 1969-1970 school year.

These groups were the Cadet Council, now in its second year after its recent rejuvenation; the Campus Military Police, and the Delta Phi academic honorary society.

The Cadet Council met regularly to consider problems involving the welfare of the cadets. To establish stronger lines of communication, the council set up suggestion boxes where cadets could put information on problems. Col. Charles Stribling in, Academy president, met with the council as faculty sponsor.

Kent Yoest was president of the cadet council, Jim Cusack was vice president, Ted Lane was secretary­ treasurer, and Scott Harris was corresponding secretary.

Yoest also headed the Delta Phi Society. Tom Eilers

was vice president, Bill Siegel was secretary-treasurer, and Greg Davis was named president-elect.

Membership in Delta Phi requires the cadet to maintain academic average basedonhonor points. Those selected be­ come pledges for two months and then become associates.

Members following the banquet preceding graduation were Joe Alonis, Jerry Best, Rick Frahm, Bill Gant, Marc Kirchhoff, Ted Lane, Kevin Metheny, Chris Pedersen, Rick Stoddard, Louis Adolf, Carl Barbee, Dave Kern, John Reddick and the officers.

Membership in the Campus Military Police depended upon a vote of the existing membership. Chris Naeter was provest of the organization. The M.P.’s functioned in all sorts of weather at parades and reviews, social events and big weekends as traffic directors and emergency help.

Dramateers’ Efforts Paid Off The M.M.A. Dramateers worked hard this season and their efforts paid off.

With their first play a full-length three-act play entitled “A Cook for Mr. General,” it was obvious that this was going to be a good year. The play concerned a group of misfits in the army.

Later in the season, the Dramateers put on a series of three one-act plays. The plays were “Open Secret,” ‘‘It Takes A Thief,” and ‘‘A Greedy Animal.” The highlight of the evening was ‘‘A Greedy Animal.” Cadet Leonard Leszczynski authored the play about two Civil War soldiers on opposite sides.

The last set was two one-act plays. “A Night at the Inn” and ‘‘A Stone’s Cry Out” were superbly put on and acted.

The Dramateers sacrificed much of their free time and the results showed it. Major Courtney B. Durham was the supervisor and directed the plays. All in all, the plays were well done and the majority of the cadets liked them.

In a "Cook for Mr. General" are Jim Smedley, Jim Crawford, Len Leszczynski, Mike Curry, and David Heuser.

Publications Staff, Activities Varied Missouri Military Academy’s publications staff turned out the monthly newspaper The Eagle, this yearbook Taps, and put on twice-weekly radio shows and a once-a-month television show over See-TV. The publications staff was almost as varied as its activities.

Of the 30 persons, four of the photographers were from Mexico and one of the reporters was from Korea. The staff also had one Junior Schooler, photographer Tim Gillespie, an eighth grader who took the Junior School pictures for both publications.

Kent Yoest was editor of both Eagle and Taps. In his first year as Eagle editor the newspaper won an All-Missouri rating— the only Class B paper in the state to do so. He was hoping this year’s product would do as well.

Kevin Metheny and Karl Hirsch did the sports broadcasts over station KXEO in Mexico twice a week. Then, with Hirsch as producer and Metheny as director, the two conducted the monthly TV shows of news and interviews. Metheny won first place in the Mexico High School Forensic tournament for his radio broadcasting.

Jim Cusack, Eric Johnson, Brian Greiner, Gary Miller, and Hotack Lee joined Yoest as members of Quill and Scroll, an honorary journalistic group.

Lt. E. L. Gilmore was adviser for all groups.

Choral Groups Performed Frequently Missouri Military Academy’s Glee Club, and the group within the group known as the Mystical Singers, performed at many events both on road trips and on campus during the year.

Capt. Fred Mauk directed the choral groups; Capt. James Marley was accompanist.

Highlight of the year for the Glee Club was the Evensong program in Memorial Chapel just before Christmas furlough. It was the 29th year for this traditional event.

Soloists from the Glee Club were Rick Thomas, Ed Pull­ man, Raymond Stotlar, Lane Larson, Sam Ball, Chris Pedersen, Leland Myers, and Rick Zahnow.

The Glee Club also sang at the Christmas program, the winter pop concert and the Mothers’ Day concert.

Sports Groups Backed Teams Two of the most closely related groups and organizations on the M.M.A. campus are the M Club and the cheerleaders.

M Club president during the year was Randy Etzkorn.

Vice president was Tom Mestrezat. Terry Pullman was secretary and Tony Wilson was treasurer.

The M Club is made up of those athletes who have won two or more varsity letters. Major Joe Bailey, athletic director and club sponsor, said the club was willing to help the Academy program in any possible way.

Cheerleaders were Steve Spears, Kevin Metheny, David Franke, Will Erickson, Chris Barbee and Bill Enright. For the first time cheerleader letters were awarded to the cadets at the fall sports award dinner.

When the year began, Spears and Franke were the only cheerleaders returning from last year. They asked Capt.

Charles W. Vines, commandant, to help and he sent out a call for cheerleaders. From that call they recruited the needed cadets.

Cadet Franke said, “It was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. The band helped a lot, too, in getting support for our teams.’’

Film Club, Vesper Readers Function The Film Club and the Vespers Readers performed important functions at the Academy during the year.

The Film Club, headed by Maj. Courtney Durham, ran projectors for Saturday night movies. Members of the film club are trained to operate a variety of projectors and film strip viewers. Cadets already skilled in handl­ ing various projectors train the newcomers to the club.

During the weekly vespers services in Mem­ orial Chapel, the Vespers Readers read Bible Passages, introduced Vespers speakers, and led the cadets in hymn singing. The Vespers Readers were selected and trained by Capt.

Fred Mauk.

Vespers readers were, Bottom—Tim Thompson, Kent Yoest and Jim Cus­ ack. Second row—Keith Lance, Capt. Fred Mauk, Jorge Travieso, Rick Hart, Bill Gant, Roy Kelly and Kevin Metheny.

Dad’s Day Ball Traditional Event Highlight for cadets during Dad’s Day weekend was the Dad’s Day ball, a formal dance in the school gymnasium.

For many cadets it was the first such experience.

The dance began at 8 p.m. with the receiving line in which cadets introduced the parents and dates to Col. Charles Stribling III, Academy president, and other faculty members.

Then all joined in for the grand march around the room.

After the grand march, cadets, dates, and parents

danced to the gentle music of Fred Simmons and his orchestra. But during the intermission, the cadets rocked to the sounds of the “Cold Water Army,’’ a cadet combo made up of Sam Ball, Chris Coogan, Nick Winzenried, and Larry Cruzan. The combo was the winner of the Academy’s “Battle of the Bands’’ in 1969.

The ball ended with the traditional playing of “Good­ night Sweetheart’’ and the cadets left to take their dates home and by midnight the ballroom was deserted.

Tulip Ball Highlight of Spring Few events at the Academy are more colorful than the Tulip Ball, spring social highlight. Such was the case for the cadets of the 1969-70 school year. With the gymnasium decorated in bright spring colors, more than 200 couples attended the event.

The highlight of the evening came when Susie Butler of St. Louis was crowned queen by Keith Lance, senior class president. Attendants and escorts were Janice Hunter of Springfield, Ill., and Ted Lane; Margie Griffith, Springfield, Ill., and Dave Braverman; Debbie Deason, Mexico, Mo., and Randy Etzkorn, and Barb Jordan, Springfield, m., and

Rick Hart.

The Tulip Ball traditionally is the project of the senior class. As is customary, the seniors spent many free time hours decorating the gym for the big event. Capt. Thomas Wiles, senior Army instructor, was class sponsor who supervised the ball and preparations.

Following the grand march and formal dancing, the campus rock group, The Cold Water Army, played during the intermission while officers selected the queen and her court. The ball ended with the playing of “Good night Sweetheart. ’ ’

Faculty members greet cadets and their dates in the receiving line preceding the dancing.

Cadets Relaxed at Informals To break away from the formal affairs at Missouri Military Academy, various classes sponsor informal dances in the canteen and off campus at Camp Mismilaca. These dances gave a change to the military atmosphere which is always in the air.

The cadet combo that played at all the informal dances was the Cold Water Army, which also played at Intermission at formal dances.

The dances also gave the cadets a chance to show their mod clothes off to their girls. Most of the cadets enjoyed getting out of their military uniforms for awhile.

At formal dances, cadets usually escorted girl friends from their home towns. But at the informals, most of the girls were from Mexico.

ft Major Derrill Kuhlman, principal, supervises a nighttime study hall.

Seven Taught Junior Schoolers Seven faculty members directed the efforts of the boys in the Junior School—M.M.A.’s separate unit for those in 6th through 8th grades.

Major Derrill Kuhlman was principal and he also taught the honors English class. Lt. Col. G. David Bailey, com­ mandant of Junior School cadets, taught mathematics.

Major and Mrs. Darius Richardson were the only hus­ band-wife team on campus. Major Richardson taught science and was athletic director; Mrs. Richardson taught the 6th grade students. The couple lived in an apartment in Headquarters Company where Mrs. Richardson was housemother for the younger boys.

Major Robert Piper taught mathematics and speech. A former M.M.A. cadet himself, he directed the Junior School’s military program.

Lt. William Smith taught English during his second year in the Junior School. Lt. Smith was married over the summer months and did not live in the barracks this year as he did last year.

Lt. James Garrett was the only newcomer to the faculty.

He taught history, and like Lt. Smith, did the coaching of Junior School athletic teams.

Major Paul Cherches, director of music for the entire Academy, taught instrumental music in the Junior School as well as in the high school. And Capt. Fred Mauk, vocal music director, taught the Junior Schoolers as well as high school students.

Eighth Grade 'One of Finest’ The 1969-70 Junior School eighth grade class was “one of the finest yet.” As Bravo Company, the group was commanded by Mike Knoll.

Robert Gilmore and Robert Schlie were the two top academic leaders. Gilmore was valedictorian.

Major Derr ill Kuhlman, Junior School principal, said the academic year was much better than he anticipated.

Other teachers were Major Robert Piper, mathematics, Lt. Col. G. David Bailey, mathematics; Lt. James Garrett, social studies; Lt. Bill Smith, English, and Major Darius

Richardson. Major Kuhlman also taught literature.

An eighth grade council presided over eight grade meetings.

Cadet dances and outings drew good turnouts.

Gilmore and Schlie, consistent winners of the Maroon and Gold Fourragere for academic excellence, were pledged to Delta Phi, scholastic honorary fraternity.

There were 50 cadets who received diplomas at commencement.

Seventh Grade Developed Leaders The Junior School seventh grade should turn out a fine staff of leaders to command the 197071 Bravo Company. In general, the group had a good year in cadet life. The academic year, in the opinion of Major Derrill Kuhlman, prin­ cipal, was a fine one.

Mrs. Darius Richardson taught the grade the value of literature through a text and workbook of the Scott Foresman series. Major Robert Piper divided the seventh grade into two groups for the study of mathematics.

Lt. James Garrett had the seventh for third hour studyhall and for social studies. Major Darius Richardson instructed them in general science.

In the 5th period, Lt. Bill Smith taught the students English.

Seventh grade academic leaders were Grant Porteous and Jeff Pool.

The 1969-70 sixth grade class, although the smallest in the whole corps, was a vital part of the Junior School and the cadet corps at all levels. In years to come, some of these cadets will be the athletes, the platoon leaders, the barracks chiefs and commanders of future corps.

The sixth grade academic year was generally good. Mark Foster led the class academically, and several times missed the academic honor cord by just one point. Mike Metcalf ran a close second.

Mrs. Darius Richardson, sixth grade liter­ ature teacher, considered class participation at a high level.

Major Robert Piper instructed the sixth grade in mathematics and science, mainly the study of nature and astronomy, and Major Derrill * Kuhlman, principal of the Junior School, in­ structed the sixth graders in social studies.

Eagles Again Capture Title The Junior School Eagles football team won four out of five games played against the Lions this year, but the fifth game, which ended in an 8-8 tie represented an indication the Lions would be striking back. It was the closest the Lions came to victory in several years, and marked the first time in that period in which they have scored.

The Eagles won the first game 28-0, highlighted by an 80-yard touchdown run by Ben Shaffer on the second play of the game. October 2 the Eagles won again with Shaffer providing the spark for the second time. After the Lions failed to move the ball, Shaffer received the punt and ran it back for a touchdown. The Eagles then won it 20-0. The Eagles won the Dad’s Day game 14-0 and then took the fourth game, 22-0.

In the final game of the season, the Lions, trailing 8-0, scored in the third quarter to tie it up 8-8. Steve Prouty scored the touchdown and Tim Thompson converted.

Junior Schoolers Active in Winter Besides sports, always a popular winter pastime, Junior School cadets participated in a variety of activities. There were informal dances, trips, ice skating on Teardrop Lake and some fun just roughhousing on back campus.

The Junior School Basketball Tournament again was won by the Eagles, who went through the season with 14 consecutive victories. Their teams defeated the A and B teams of the Lions three times each, and the “goon squad” team once.

The wildest game wound up with the Eagles winning 112-48.

Intramural swimming, conducted by Major Robert Piper, saw Ron Caputa break the record in the 60-yard backstroke, and Tom Gray break the record in the 100-yard freestyle.

In wrestling, weight winners were 95—Tim Champlin; 115— Richard Lynch: 125—Scott Vanden Berg; 145—Michael Knoll, 165—Ben Shaffer.

In the spring, the Junior School athletes switched to track, beginning with a meet indoors in the field house.

Junior Schoolers in Separate Unit

Dave Jones stands Saturday inspectionby Major Robert Piper.

B Barracks, and the upper half of the Missouri Military Academy Administration Building, is the home of Bravo Company, the Junior School unit on campus.

In this area nearly 100 boys from 6th through 8th grade work, play and study. Also living in the barracks is Major and Mrs. Darius Richardson, teachers inthe Junior School.

Junior Schoolers operate as a separate unit from the high school, but on parade and review days, and other occasions, Bravo competes with its senior counterparts. Cadets from B barracks are also enthusiastic supporters of Colonels athletic teams.

In barracks life, the Bravo cadets operate at their own schedule. Just officers and a few with privileges study in their rooms nights. The others study in the Junior School studyhall.

The cadets stand regular Saturday inspection, and the inspecting officer on Government Inspection day also visits the Bravo barracks. In addition, the Junior School cadets must stand such inspections as “toothbrush” which is part of their training in growing up.

Odd pets, model airplanes and cars, and craft items still have appeal to the Junior School, and barracks rooms frequently reflect these interests. “Roughhousing” on back campus, ice skating, and playing assorted make­ up games also appeal to these younger cadets.
