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.

Keypunch Machine

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. Major Courtney Durham presents a plaque to Mike Curry who won the Audrain County VFW speech contest.

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

RCANIZATIONS

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. Mario Rodriguez commanded the Fusileers in com petition.

Varied Duties, Roles An old group, a four-year-old one and a

new

group were on campus this year. The Campus Military Police continued to perform as traffic directors and game and review monitors as they have done many years.

The Cadet Council, revived four years ago, consid ered and acted upon many cadet suggestions. Col. Charles Stribling III, Academy president, was sponsor.

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

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."

The highlight of the dance came at intermission when it was announced that Cindy Porter, sister of Mike Porter, ’71, was named Tulip Ball Queen. 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. Along with the traditional windmill and many artificial flow ers, the ballroom was also decorated with real flowers from Myrick den Hartog, ’65. Cadets dance while Terry Cobb’s band plays.

Closed Social Events The Commencement Ball was the final social event of the year. It came as is traditional the Saturday night preceding graduation exercises.

In many ways it is a sentimental dance because those attending know that it is the last of their high school and M.M.A. careers.

pated in track and was a letter winner. In his senior year he was

out for battalion football and basketball. Will also did well in aca demic subjects, and easily overcame the problem of learning English

CARL E. BARBEE Carl Barbee came from Paris, France, although he lived many

years in South America as well. He was fluent in three languages. 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.

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.

Bob always had fun but his chief activity was membership in the Fusileers which he took quite seriously. He was a member for three years and went to the University of Illinois Drill meet all three times. Just before the meet his senior year, he broke an arm and could not compete. But Major Kenneth Mortenson, supervisor, took him along anyway.

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.

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

PATRICK WILLIAM O’DEA If Pat had been much bigger, he would have been a tough one to stop. As it was he was one of the strongest and most aggressive

also in high spirits much of the time.

PAUL STEPHEN OPIE For most M.M.A. cadets, Paul Opie was the man with the horn. 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

on a cold, wet, muddy field.

In the next three games, MMA saw its 3-1 mark dissolve with successive losses to M.S.D., St. James

and Marceline. M.S.D. won the Dad’s Day game, 20-14; St. James won the first encounter between the two schools, 7-2; and Marceline won the Homecoming game, 20-8. Mark Brown, team captain, said: “We played our best game against M.S.D.’’ And the foe the Colonels will remember was Hardy Jones who scored all of

The next week, M.M.A. dropped a season final game to Centralia, 15-0.

The loss to Centralia left M.M.A. with its 4-5 sea son record, but any time M.M.A. can score victories over both its military school rivals, the season is called a success.

Wentworth scored first against M.M.A. but then the Colonels took over. M.M.A. dominated the offensive game completely during the second half.

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.
