With the end of summer, new as well as returning cadets began arriving on campus. The new ones arrived with uncertainties and doubts; the old ones with many stories to tell.

The year started out with an assembly, mainly to get both new

and returning cadets organized for the forthcoming year.

Returning cadets found the swimming pool area expanded to make room for spectators. They also found some new faculty per­

sonnel, including, for the first time, a woman teacher in the high

school.

Lt. Col. John Starke met them and began his first year as com­ mandant. Major Valentine Kijek began his first year as senior Army instructor. And Linda Arnold, wife of Capt. David Arnold,

Band Commander

Job Of Hedger The job of band commander fell to Cadet Capt. Bill Hedger and he led the unit to a series of honors.

Band as a company and band as a combination of musicians are two different things. But to the outside

eye, it is hard to separate the two.

The musical cadets again used their talents of showmanship to win the Homecoming decorations contest. The barracks had frontiersmen, Indians, river­ boat gamblers, and a genuine roving Mexican guitar player in Rafael Hinojosa.

Echo Company Had

Two Counsellors This was the first year in which Echo Company had two coun­ sellors. Major James Marley and Capt. David Steinmetz shared the duty for the largest company on campus.

It was also the first year in which Echo was awarded the company competition bar more than once.

In sports, Echo finished first in the Battalion Basketball League but suffered its first losing football season in history when it finished third in the Battalion Football League.

The company rated high in scholarships. At the two-thirds point in the year, Rob Gilmore led the company in academic honor points and headed the sophomore class.

Oakleigh Adkins led the freshmen and Ted Manassa led the

seniors.

In military, the company had the highest number of Fusileers, won most of the Saturday inspections, and finished high in the

Sunday reviews.

New Commandant Marks Big Change When cadets returned in the fall, they found a ma­ jor change in the administration. Lt. Col. John Starke was commandant of cadets.

While this was the only change, it was an impor­ tant one to cadets for more than anyone else, the commandant deals directly with them.

Others back on the job included Col. Charles Stri­

bling III, Academy president, and Col. C. R. Striblinc chairman of the board.

Lt. Col. E. R. Jackson was working as admission chief, and Lt. Col. Orville Mauphin, recently pre moted, was again in the quartermaster.

Aided Computer Course Work M.M.A.’s Mathematics Department continued its work of staying abreast of the times. Capt. Ray Campbell, who spent the summer in study on the M.M.A. Faculty Fellow­ ship at the University of Alabama, taught the more exten­ sive computer programming course. Captain Campbell took eight hours college work in computer mathematics.

The Academy also leased a keypunch machine which many cadets thought was the computer. With the machine the cadets and Captain Campbell were able to punch their cards at the Academy instead of at the computer center.

This saved considerable time.

Lt. John Waterhouse was the newcomer to the math fac­ ulty. Major James Marley was chairman and taught ad­ vanced mathematics.

Both Col. C. R. Stribling and Col. Charles Stri­ bling III taught one class each of honors English.

Major Courtney Durham got the freshmen off to

a start and Lt. Russell Fedak, the only newcomer to the faculty, had sophomores and some juniors.

Capt. E. L. Gilmore, publications supervisor and journalism teacher, also had a class of junior

English.

Besides the course work, the English Depart­ ment also conducted the W. Wallace Fry Speech Contest and the battalion spelling contests.

Science Classes

Worked In Laboratory Session There were no new teachers in the Science Department this year, so the program enjoyed a certain amount of con­ tinuity. Major John Reddick headed the Science Depart­ ment. Teachers were Major James Marley, physics; Capt.

Ron Kelly, biology; Capt. Keith Byerly, chemistry; and Ma­ jor Reddick, earth science.

All science classes had laboratory sessions. For Captain Kelly, this often meant going out in the field where cadets

studied wildlife at work.

Members of the physics class did 50 laboratory experi­ ments and made tours of nearby industrial plants to see equipment in use.

Carl Barbee proved to be the most adept science stu­ dent. He was awarded the science plaque commencement

day.

RCANIZATIONS

This concert band played on many occasions during the school year.

Musical Cadets Grouped

Into Several Bands When talking about M.M.A.’s band, the question is “Which One?” While M.M.A. has different bands, the membership is often, but not always, the same.

The marching band performed at parades and re­ views, the concert band at concerts, and the stage band at other events, including this year’s Miss Mex­ ico pageant.

Major Paul Cherches was band director; Frank Smith was marching band drum major.

The brass quintet of Karl Cavanaugh, Dennis Bordner, John Reddick, Mark Jones, and Brad Bristow won a No. 1 rating at the state meet. Jones and Clay Rog­ ers won No. 2 ratings for individual selections.

Fusileers Brought Home Illinois Top Trophy

Fusileers undergo inspection at state meet in Columbia.

In many respects, this was the year of the Fusileers.

For four years the crack drill team had competed at the University of Illinois meet and each year it won many top honors. But this year the unit brought home the Governor’s Cup, awarded to the unit which scored the highest number of total points for exhibition drill, standard drill and individual drill.

Individual winners helped win the trophy. Joe AI-. onis won first, Frank Kindred, second, John Josendale, fifth; Rich Lynch, sixth, and Don Hall, ninth.

The victory followed a meet where the unit won second at the University of Arkansas in both standard and exhibition drill. Major Kenneth Mortenson, super­ visor, was disappointed by that finish and worked the unit hard for the Illinois meet and the state meet.

At the state meet the unit again won first — its 13th first-place finish in 15 years. The Fusileers also won the over-all cup.

Newest group on campus was the Boy Scout troop led by Capt. Keith Byerly. The troop had both high

school and Junior School cadets in its membership.

“Mystery at the Depot,’’ a story of a crooked rail­ road inspector and how he got caught in a small town, was most popular with the cadets.

Mike Curry earned the Charles Stribling Cup, of­ fered at commencement for the first time, for his per­ formance in this play.

Those in the cast of various plays were John Car­ ter, David Boston, Evan Ames, Greg McCloskey, Larry Harrod, Bruce Warman, Pat Walter, Ray Nelson, John White, Tracy Nies, with Major Courtney Durham as director and Mrs. Durham on makeup.

And before long, Sgt. First Class Paul Boyd joined the staff as his assistant.

Major Kenneth Mortenson, a reserve officer, also worked with the cadets in military.

The corps was impressive. After the inspection Colonel Fox said, “I have never seen any school finer than the one I have seen today.”

On Mother’s Day, May 14, Ted Manassa, Joe Alonis, Mike Knoll and Wayne Poston received the Superior Cadet Ribbons. Then on May 1 5, Major General W. C. Franklin of Fifth Army headquarters paid a surprise visit.

Season Opened With Dad’s Day Ball Dad’s Day Ball again was the social event of the fall sea­ son. It started out with the grand march and was followed by

dancing by cadets, dates and parents.

To many new cadets at M.M.A., it was their first introduc­ tion to social dancing.

Many of the girls at the dance were from Mexico but se­

veral came from the home towns of cadets.

Parents were prominent among the dancing couples.

The ball ended with the playing of “Good Night, Sweet­ heart."

Members of Queen Cindy’s court were Jeannie Hunthau­ sen, Davenport, Iowa; Denise Cook, St. Louis; Pam Stark, Granite City, III.; and Priscilla Singleton, Mexico, Missouri.

During intermission a rock band of Gale Holsman, Terry Cobb, Doug Evans, Mike Knoll, Paul Opie, Dennis Bordner, Rafael Hinojosa, and John Reddick played.

Carl was a consistent winner of the Academic Fourragere and was president of Delta Phi in his senior year. He played Battalion foot­ ball as a junior and did so well he was invited out for Varsity play

as a senior. His run in the Kemper game set up the winning touch­

down. Carl was a member of the Fusileers, commander of Delta Company, and president of his junior class. He won several aca­ demic distinctions.

RICHARD CHARLES GROB Rick is the third member of the Grob family to attend M.M.A. This covers a period of 1 3 years in which a Grob was at the Acad­ emy. He was quiet but often up to something. Rick liked music from rock through country and western. When he was reading, it was generally a trucking magazine. Even more than music, Rick liked trucks — the result of his father’s business. Rick was active in publi­ cations and edited Taps in his senior year.

RICHARD ARCH HALL, JR. Rick was a happy type and anytime you met him he could tell a

joke. He was active in sports, the Fusileers, and was advertising

manager of Taps during his senior year. Rick preferred the nick­ name ‘'Buster" which had been used at his Iowa hometown all his life. He was active in sports, and lettered in varsity football three years.

CLIFFORD LLOYD HARTLEY Lloyd spent almost half his life at M.M.A. He was one of the

three seven-year cadets in the graduating class. He commanded Alpha Company and ran a good organization. His company was

the Honor Company at the end of the school year. Lloyd was al­ ways in the top group academically and finished fourth in the class.

As a senior, he joined the publications staff and became a member of Quill and Scroll, won the Publications Cub Award and was the

top feature writer on Eagle.

WILLIAM ROBERT HEDGER Bill was second highest ranking cadet on campus. He became

Band commander, and was extremely popular with the members of

his unit and they cheered quite loudly when he received the Charles

I. Wall cup at commencement. Bill lacked natural athletic skill but

made up for it with hard work. He spent his general leaves in the spring working out in track on his own. His coach, Capt. David

Arnold, said his greatest thrill came when Bill won the mile run in a dual meet.

LUIS FERNANDO INSERNEY-

GONZALEZ Luis arrived at M.M.A. in his junior year, not knowing much Eng­

pany comedian. No one could stay angry at Luis very long, nor could he ever be upset by any one else more than a few minutes.

Luis did not go in for vigorous sports, but he liked weightlifting and twice won battalion titles.

MICHAEL LEE JOHNSON There were two places Mike could be found during his four years at M.M.A. If he wasn't in Delta Company, it was because he was in

tours. He spent four years alternating between the two. Mike was

always involved in something. His favorite sports were Battalion

football and boxing. He was a member of the Fusileers and was on the Cadet Council his freshman year.

FRANK JOSEPH KINDRED Frank brought two skills to M.M.A. He had a good voice for speaking and good organizational ability. In Dramateers, TV-Radio, or being vespers reader, Frank’s voice paid off. Frank was a mem­ ber of the Fusileers for two years and he won second place in the individual drilldown at the University of Illinois national meet.

JAMES NICHOLAS KUFDAKIS Jim was another of the three seven-year cadets. He was proud of

his Greek ancestry, and many senior cadets kidded him about it.

When he entered the high school he was small and skinny and the

least likely looking athlete on campus. But by his sophomore year he was a member of the M-Club by lettering in wrestling and track.

Most cadets will remember him as the two-miler. This track event, started at the high school level in his junior year, gave Jim a chance to win. Each meet during his last two years, he cut the school

cord. He finished second in the district and 1 1 th in the state.

ALFREDO ENRIQUE MACHADO Alfredo is the second of the Machados. His brother, Oscar, grad­ uated two years before. Alfredo was much quieter than his elder brother and consistently stayed out of trouble. He was praised once

by the commandant for having best-looking shoes in the battalion

and at the end of the year he won the neatest room award. Alfredo progressed in English rapidly and could express himself artistically in that language better than most of the Latin cadets.

TRACY ALAN NIES How could you tell Tracy from Trent? Well, Tracy was the one with the glasses on. He also was the one active in Dramateers and a resident of Echo Company. Efforts were made to keep the twins apart but those efforts met with limited success. Both were inter­ ested in electronic things and models of various kinds, especially airplanes.

TRENT ARTHUR NIES Trent differed from Tracy by being a resident of Delta Company

and not wearing glasses. But faculty members could never remem­ ber which one wore glasses and which didn’t. The twins took advan­ tage of this confusion. One time when one was already in F study hall for one subject, and was assigned erroneously for another sub­

ject, the innocent agreed to serve time for his brother — for a

price.

He played trumpet in the band for four years, the drum and bugle corps equally as long, and in the concert band. He was also battal­ ion bugler at various times. Opie was also a member of the Fusi­ leers for three years and was handy with a rifle. He was coopera­ tive and well-liked but could be stubborn about things he believed didn't make good sense.

things. He played company football that fall, and made the all-star basketball team in the winter.

Football Team Has 4-5 Season Record Missouri Military Academy’s varsity finished the football season with a 4-5 record but had the satis­ faction of being the top military academy team in the

state.

That came as the result of victories over Kemper and Wentworth.

Lt. Col. Joe Bailey coached the team. He was again assisted by Capt. David Steinmetz, and a newcomer to the faculty — Lt. John Hegwein.

Mark Brown captained the Colonels.

M.M.A. opened the season on a high note with an 18-8 victory over Westran High on the field near Huntsville. The game was played in a steady drizzle

Baseball Nine Won Four, Lost Ten Lack of hitting power and the absence of experi­ enced pitching hurt the Colonels Baseball team.

M.M.A wound up with a 4-10 record.

Major Ernest Lehto tried several cadet players in the pitching role. Scott Fabling had pitched the year before and John Reddick had seen some time on the

mound. But opposition batters proved too strong.

Major Lehto also used freshman Jackie Shropshire, ordinarily an outfielder, and Fernando Tremari, ordi­

Kufdakis Enlivened Interest In Track

f

M.M.A.’s trackmen finished rhe season with a re­ cord of one victory and two losses in dual competition and a first place, two seconds and a third in triangu­ lar meets.

One of the second place finishes was in the Tri-Military, won by Wentworth with 84, to M.M.A.’s 49, and Kemper’s 20.

Highlight of the season, however, was the steady running of Jim Kufdakis in the two-mile where he set a new school record with each meet. He was the only M.M.A. cadet to make the state meet where he fin­ ished 1 1 th place.

Kufdakis finished second in the district meet.

Oakleigh (Rocky) Adkins was M.M.A.’s big point getter, however. He competed in four events — the 100, the 220, the hurdles and long jump.

M.M.A. started the season finishing third against Centralia and North Callaway. Then came a second place finish against Louisiana and Troy.

The Kemper meet was rained out but the Colonels beat U-High 83-41. M.S.D. then beat the Colonels 92-40. In an indoor meet at M.M.A., the Colonels downed Paris and North Callaway by a substantial margin. The Tri-Military followed and then came a loss to North Callaway 70-62.

Minor Sports Also

Part Of Program Besides competitive sports at the varsity and battal­ ion level, cadets have some less vigorous activities for the athletic period each day.

In the springtime and fall, both horseback riding and softball are offered. In the winter, for the ones who want to get in shape without competition, weight­ lifting is popular. In this sport one can compete, how­ ever, if he desires. Each year M.M.A. has a weightlift­ ing contest.

M.M.A. also has a fall tennis and a spring life sav­ ing program. Those entering the Academy who cannot swim are taught in the fall.

Tom Simpson, who has had long experience with horses, holds one of the Acad­ emy steeds.
