The Goals Ahead... When school started in September, the graduating class had two major things in mind. Most important was their future, how they would make themselves successful, whether they would attend college or whether they would go straight into the business world. Second, and equally important to the school, was to make this year even better than the year before. So the

success of the senior class, as well as the school’s success, depended on the action of the Class of 1974. On the forthcoming pages, the editors, writers and photographers have tried to represent as accurately as possible the seniors as they advance into the future.

October Means

Dad’s Weekend October was by far the busiest month in the first half of the school year. Dad’s weekend was the most important event in the month for cadets. Families came from distances of just a few miles up to more than a thousand miles to be with their cadet sons. The weekend began with football and proceeded through reviews, drills, luncheons, more football, visits with faculty members and the annual Dad’s Day Ball. It concluded Sunday with more visits and the Sunday review. Other activities during October included the annual pumpkin carving contest, recognition of first-order privates, and a visit from Moffet Studio of Chicago.

Not M. M. A. 's Homecoming as the sign might indicate, but Wentworth's. On the field at Lexington are the officers, presidents, and color guards of the two academies just before the football game.

Homecoming And November Again Homecoming highlighted November. Band Company and the Junior School tied in the barracks contest judging. The graduates gathered and visited scenes of their cadet days. Carl Carter, ’19, one of those who always returns for Homecoming, was elected Alumni Association president. While Homecoming was the November highlight which saw the Colonels defeat Paris that day, other events transpired during November. The entire Cadet Corps made the trip to Lexington where, regretfully, the Colonels lost to Wentworth 1G-14. The Dramateers staged Stalag 17, always a popular play with the cadets. Students took the first of the trimesters, with Augie Tetzlaff and Tim Wittman leading the corps.

December Means Furlough December brought cold, and December brought snow but December also brought Christmas, Evensong, and furlough. For the first time in history, the Evensong service was shown from beginning to end over television. A crew from station KCBJ of Columbia taped the entire rehearsal the night before the actual event. Cadets were affected by national problems, too.

Because of the energy crisis, lights were turned off and theromostats were turned down. Even so, the educational tour plans went ahead. When furlough time came, cadets had no major trouble finding transportation. A final event during December was the annual fatherson dinner in St. Louis.

Even Winter Had Highlights The winter period from furlough to furlough is the hard time in the life of a cadet. Short days, long nights and snow and cold add to his problems. Yet even this period has its highlights. The Valentine Ball in mid-February, with the gym decorated in bright red and white, is such an occasion. Robyn Talley, Mexico, was crowned queen of the ball. Teri Dodson, Miss Missouri of 1973, assisted Rich Lynch, president of the Junior Class, with the crowning. The following Day Miss Talley pinned a championship streamer on the colors, which was won by the Fusileers at the state last year. The board of visitors met. In time, furlough did arrive, and the cadets went home. Upon their late March return, it was a short time to graduation.

Commencement Came with May Furlough ended, April arrived and events moved swiftly into May. Big event in April was the Tulip Ball, sponsored by the senior class. With the begining of May, the pace really picked up. G.I. came and left. Mother’s Day arrived. Spelling contests were conducted on rainy days, and almost without knowing it, Commencement weekend arrived. A host of honors were given to cadets. Dr. Herbert Schooling of the University of Missouri at Columbia was speaker. Dan Leskinski was named battalion commander-elect for 1975 and received the ceremonial sword at the Senior review. Followng the exercises, cadets attended the Au Revoir ceremony, then with a shout, tossed their hats in Teardrop Lake and headed for home. Some left the campus for the last time.

Active Year Mike Knoll led Alpha Company this year. Wherever the action was going on, Alpha members were in the thick of it. The Green Wave football team was one of the best, the basket ball team was competitive, and all in all, the company had a success ful and interesting year. Alpha residents lived in one of the most distinguished looking buildings on campus with its white parapets. The Alpha members home was built shortly after the end of World War I.

Revival in 74 Delta Company, smallest in the corps, enjoyed a revival this year. The unit did not exist the year before because of enrollment drops, but the company came to life with the big increase this year. Jim Loskill of Juniata, Nebraska, was company commander. He took a great deal of pride in his unit and led it to a number of successes in athletics, academics and military.

Administration Had

Major Changes The year of 1973-74 represented a year of change at the administrative level at M. M. A. Before the year was over two long time administrators retired from duty. Cadets returning for the beginning of the year found Major John Reddick in the principal’s office with the title director of studies. Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm, the former principal, retired at mid-summer. At the end of the year, Lt. Col. E. R. Jackson, whose 43 years with the Academy was second only to that of Col. C.R. Stribling, retired and was honored at review. Col. Charles Stribling III, Academy president, entered his sixth year at the head of the school. Lt. Col. John Starke continued as commandant, then joined the admissions staff under Major Ron Kelly, the new admissions director, at the year end.

Major Durham English Chairman Major Courtney B. Durham became chairman of the M. M. A. English Department at the beginning of the year. He immediately set to work to draw up a long range program and part of it was implemented at the beginning of the year. School opened with Capt. E.L. Gilmore and Lt. David Denton on the English faculty but both also taught other subjects. Lt. Roger Plumskey was the first newcomer but Lt. Ed Moseley was added shortly after the opening of school because enrollment was higher than had been anticipated. With a couple of exceptions where cadets had taken English in summer school, all enrolled were in the English program. Major John Reddick, director of studies, helps supervise the English

He also taught both abstract mathematics courses and a new course in consumer mathematics for those who do not plan to go deeply into the subject. Other instructors were Capt. John Waterhouse, Major James Marley, and Capt. David Steinmetz. All instructors also had coaching duties, counseling duties, and other campus duties.

Col. Joe Bailey, Major Kenneth Mortenson, and Capt. David Steinmetz. As is the case at M. M. A., all had other duties. Major Mortenson was assistant commandant of cadets and super visor of the Fusileers. He also coached. Colonel Bailey continued his duties as head football and wrestling coach, athletic director, and added the job of head track coach this year. Both Captain Hegwein and Captain Steinmetz had varsity coaching duties the year round.

Captain John Waterhouse taught physics. Because biology is required of sophomores, Capt. Ron Kelly had a large number of students who peered intently at all manner of stinky things which they found in ponds and grasses around the campus. They also kept pet turtles, goldfish, crayfish, and a pirhana which needed a diet of raw meat.

Assisting Ms. Johnson was Mrs. Nadine Helwig. Both worked as librarian for the Mexico Public Library. Ms. Johnson and her assistant were commended in mid year by the Academic Committee for work done in getting the library in top shape. Major Paul Cherches, M. M. A. director of music, continued teaching his humanities class. The class dealt with all cultural subjects—music, art, architecture, governmental affairs, among others—and made many field trips.

Seniors--lt is Their Year Any yearbook must tell the life of a school through the seniors. Others participate, but it is THEIR year. For some the year is a climax of a major portion of their lives. Two of the cadets on the following pages, graduating this year, have attended M. M. A. for seven years. Several have been here for four or five. Almost all, even those here for just one year, accom plished many things at M. M. A. — won many awards, participated in many athletic, academic and military events. The information in each senior’s section of the yearbook tells the details. But this information does not tell about friendships made, hopes, dreams, secret goals. It tells that the cadet participated, but it does not tell the experience of that participation and what one felt, saw and heard. Time will erase many of those experiences from memory. The Taps editor hopes, however, that through these pages seniors may relive just a few.

For the 10th time straight, the unit won the Missouri Military Schools Drill Championship at the University of Missouri in Columbia. The unit won 4th in exhibition and 4th in standard drill at the national competition at the University of Illinois in Champaign. For the first time in the history of the unit, the platoon

put on an exhibition for the benefit of graduates at Homecoming. It also accompanied the band to the Mexico National Guard Armory where it put on an exhibition in connection with National Guard Day. Major Kenneth Mortenson supervised the Fusileers. Cadet Ted Baer was commander. Larry Levy received the Fusileer of the Year award in the spring.

Specialized Groups Performed Well Another trio of organizational groups active in specialized areas were the Campus Military Police, the Film Club and the cheerleaders. The M.P. ’s performed throughout the year as traffic directors for dances and reviews, as an emergency group during reviews, and for other campus duty when the corps and its officers were on parade.

The film club took care of the Academy’s video equipment as well as other audio visual aids, and assisted with the showing of Saturday night at the movies. Cheerleaders from both the high school and Junior School led the cadet corps in support of the football team during the fall.

3 Organizations In Vital Roles Three important organizations on campus were the Cadet Council, M-Club and Delta Phi. All carried responsibilities and honors. The Cadet Council met twice a month to take up matters of concern to cadets. As always, haircuts topped the list of subjects. Delta Plii supervised the late lights library and its members helped other cadets with their studies in the barracks. Delta Plii members had the greatest number of privileges of any group. The M-Club, made up of athletes who lettered in two more sports, supervised the canteen.

Dramateers Staged

3 Nights of Plays M. M. A.’s Dramateers again staged three performances during the year under the direction of Major Courtney Durham The first was STALAG 17 about a prisoner of war camp in Germany. The play is ideally suited to M. M. A. because it takes an all-male cast. The other two performances were short sequences of one-act plays, most of them light comedies. Larry Harrod, star of THE PEDESTRIAN, received the Stribling Cup for best dramatic performance. It was presented by Major Durham at Commencement.

Band Units in Many Events Members of the M. M. A. bands participated in a number of activities, both on and off the campus, this year. Again the marching band played at reviews, the Drum and Bugle Corps played for mess, and the stage band played for a winter concert and Commencement. The Concert Band also played for the spring concert. These bands were generally made up of the same cadets, but there was some variation. Besides activities on the campus, the marching band

made trips to Hannibal, Jefferson City and Centralia. Again it won first place in marching units at Jefferson City. Members of the marching band, made into quintets, quartets and duets, plus one soloist competed in the district and went on to win honors at the state contest. Major Paul Cherches directed the band. Dan Leskinski was drum major. Commanding the unit was Joey Stafford.

Major Marley and the chapel choir form a cross in the chapel.

Members of the Academy's choral groups saw themselves on television this year after a station in Columbia video-taped the Evensong. The Videotaping took place during rehearsals. The tape was then shown over KCBJ the following Sunday where it was seen by many throughout the midMissouri area. While Evensong was the highlight for choral groups, members under Major James Marley made several other appearances. They sang at winter and spring concerts, and the double quartet sang at commencement. Also under Major Marley's direction were vesper readers and chapel workers.

The barbershop quartet was popular at the spring concert. Members are Harlan Wolter, Tad McDowell, Harold Knoll and Tom Wittman.

Colonels Took Opener Loss The football teams began the year with several members from last year's team. Almost half of the squad was on the 1972-73 team. Several players that were not on the previous year's squad also proved to be valuable. Also, Rich Lynch, the team’s defensive ace for two years, was about to make his debut as a running back. Despite all the improvements, the Colonels still lost their season’s opener. It was a 28-14 defeat at the hands of the Warrenton Warriors.

The highlight of the game was a 58-yard touchdown run by Jackie Shropshire. The Colonels then lost their next two games. The 27-6 defeat to the Highland Cougars was M. M. A. ’s most one sided loss, and then M.M. A. took an 8-6 defeat at the hands of the M.S.D. Eagles.

M. M. A. matmen completed a 6-3 record for the year with a strange finish in their last match. The Colonels opened the year with a 42-18 romp over Wentworth only to down in defeat to Fulton, fourth in last year’s state tournament, 37-21. But the Colonels came back to win against Rock Bridge, a new school in Columbia, before furlough, Centralia was the next opponent to be defeated by a score of 55-9. Then the Colonels traveled to St. Louis to grapple with the Principia Panthers and posted a 55-15 victory. Then M. M. A. went back to Wentworth for a closer match, winning 32-24. At the hands of Hannibal, the Colonels lost 44-14 and in a rematch with Rock Bridge, the Colonels were defeated 40-13. Then came that strange final match in which, for the first time in the school’s history, M. M. A. shut out a team—the Centralia Panthers 66-0. In the district meet, Rich Lynch lost his first match of the year in the finals of the 185-pound class. He was the only one to place. Tim Champlin won his first match but was hurt and had to forfeit his next. M. M. A. ’s only other district winner was Mark Dunn who won his first, but lost in his second and was eliminated.

The team defeated both Kemper and Wentworth in regular competition and won over both in the Tri-Military. M/Sgt. Paul Boyd again coached the marksmen. Leading the team were Rob Ham, John Calhoun, Dean Cary, and Tad McDowell.

Rob Ham presents the Tri-Military trophy to Col. Charles Stribling III.

Non-Varsity Athletes Had Plenty Of Activity For the cadets not on varsity teams during the winter months, there was still plenty of activity. A large number kept themselves in physical shape by working out in weight lifting under the direction of Major Kenneth Mortenson. The end of the winter season saw them compete in a weight lifting tournament with medals going to the five winners. The cadets also competed in a wrestling and swimming meet. Then, during the interim between winter and spring sports, a special program was set up to give the cadets a chance to try7 their skills in bowling, fencing, volleyball and tumbling.

In individual point totals, Alfredo Musiol led the Colonels with 34 points. Tod Minnigerode had 34, Sergio Garcia 30, Randy Adler 29.5, and Clay Bullard 29. Capt.

Track Team Has 7-3 Year The varsity track team had a good season as it compiled a record of seven wins, three losses and a tie. Mike Knoll was team captain. Dwight Brehm highlighted the season as he went to the state meet in the 440-yard dash with a time of :55. 8. Both the indoor and outdoor records in the triple jump were broken—outdoors by Billy Welch with a distance of 38 feet 7 inches, and indoors by Paul Gant with his 36-foot ll|-inch jump. Oscar Diaz led the team scoring with 82 points, compiled in both the hurdle events, high jump and triple jump. He was followed by Welch’s 58 points, Brehm’s 54|, and Jeff Pool rounded out the scorers over 50 with 52J points. Pool obtained his total in the distance events, and the two-mile relay.

Battalion Meet

Had Enthusiasm Cadets turned out in enthusiastic numbers for the Battalion Track Meet to determine supremacy between the four companies. Echo won the title. Varsity members of the track team could not compete in their specialty if they were medal winners there. The meet took place on a bright spring day. Company commanders were responsible for determining which of their company members would compete in each event. Many volunteered for events where they had no previous experience in an effort to aid their company to victory. While the final outcome was important, mostly it was a lot of fun.

r Boxing Program

Given Revival After a one year lapse, boxing revived at M. M. A., under the direction of Capt. Wayne Bradford, senior Army instructor. Cadets worked out under his direction, learning the fundamental skills. Then, at the end of the spring sports period, the cadets competed in the M. M. A. boxing tournament. The tournament, however, was open to all, and some of those without ring experience took their chances in the ’’squared circle”. Big Greg Rollman and Kaj Carlson put on one of the most exciting matches, won by Carlson. Bonn Hall, who also won his weight title, received the Gallagher Boxing Trophy at Commencement as the most outstanding fighter.

Highlight of the year came when the golfers finished fifth at the Palmyra Invitational and received green ribbons for their efforts. Lutes shot a 78 on the 18-hole course, the best individual effort of the year. Speicher had the best nine-hole score when he shot

Baseball Season

Cut by Rain M. M. A. ’s baseball players again struggled through a season cut short by rain. Three times M. M. A. played doubleheaders, winning one game while losing another. In a single game, Community R-6 topped M.M. A. 9-6. Pitching star for the Colonels was Dave Ingraham. Twice the M.M. A. pitcher threw one-hitters. With limited home baseball, cadets got to see little of their team. Besides baseball, and track, golf and tennis, many cadets participated in other spring sports. "Senior” softball had a large turnout. Horsemanship classes under Lt. Waldo Roberts (who kept his own horse at the stables) also attracted a number. In the athletic period during springtime, it was an active year.

Volleyball attracts a group of cadets near by big sycamore at the fieldhouse.

Soccer, Volleyball Provide Action Essential to most sports is a ball. You can kick one, throw one, run with it. M.M.A. has some minor sports activities centering around the ball. One game popular overseas and in some parts of the United States is soccer. The Academy had two soccer programs—one in the winter and another in the spring. The Latin-American students, who were usually the

140

best players, tended to skip that frozen field winter game, but turn out in numbers in the spring. Lt. Waldo Roberts had the wintertime group; Lt. Ed Moseley took charge in the spring. Meanwhile, other cadets participated in the age-old favorite of volleyball. Usually this game was played by those in the horsemanship classes while the cadets awaited their turns to ride the horses.

On the winter soccer squad are, first row, Keith Schenewerk, Tom Yust, Brad Johns, Neal Arnold, Mike Johnson, Roger Landau, Rick Marcos. Second row—George Human, Mike Harbor, Chris Yoest, Rene Marcos, Ricardo Alcorta, Kent Gandee. Third row— Lorenzo Elizondo, Tom Rose, Pat Schlotfeld, Ron Block, Todd Hutchens, Scott Girvin.

Teardrop Lake Provides Sport Quiet, tiny little Teardrop Lake, really little more than a pond back of Echo barracks, provides some sports activity for interested cadets. During winter months, when frozen over, the lake is the scene of ice skating as cadets and townfolk from Mexico, try out their blades. During the spring and fall, cadets try their hands at fishing the lake. Success is almost certain, but the fish tend to run small. Again, both cadets and townfolk participate. The lake also has some educational value. Its waters abound with frogs, muskrats, small wildlife which are studied by the biology classes. Teardop is the home of the Academy’s resident duck flock; it is the site of Carter Memorial built to commemorate the death of a faculty member while trying to save the life of another; it is the place where cadet graduates throw their hats at Commencement.

The cadet is rewarded with a catch—small, but still a catch.

MMA First Class In Military M.M. A. functioned as a first-class military organization throughout the year, under the direction of Capt. Wayne Bradford as senior Army instruction, assisted by M/Sgt. Paul Boyd. Sergeant Boyd was a sergeant first class when the year started but received a promotion to master in the fall. Again M. M. A. 's unit won an honor rating with distinction after a vigorous and thorough check by the inspectors in early May. Robert Baer was cadet battalion commander and his efforts won his selection for the Legion of Honor at commencement.

Small Cadets

In Important Role They weren’t very big and there were not too many of them but the small school boys—the 6th, 5th, and 4th graders—made up an important part of the Academy. Most were small, and they all had the crowd on their side whenever they competed in drilldowns or at reviews. Todd Rogers was the veteran among them. The outstanding cadet academically among the small boys, he has finished his third year at M. M. A. —more than some of the graduating seniors.

Ifyou need a car that’s roomy and comfortable at an affordable price, Impala is a sensible buy.

IMPALA 4-D00R SEDAN

Not every family can fit into one of today's popular small cars. Because of your family’s size or your job, it may make sense to own a full-size car like the Chevrolet Impala with a roomy interior that holds six comfortably. If you sometimes haul bulky objects, you’ll appreciate Impala's 18 cubic feet of trunk space. And to make the least of rough roads, Impala has Full Coil spring suspension, strate gically placed rubber body mounts and extensive sound insulating.

For extra protection, there are side guard door beamsand a Cargo-Guard luggage compartment. And to make driving more pleasant, Impala comes with such standard features as Turbo Hydra-matic transmission, power front disc/rear drum brakes and variable-ratio power steering. Come in and let us show you why it makes sense to buy a reasonably priced Impala, the car that’s been the nation’s Number One seller for 14 years. And why it makes sense to buy it from us.
