The Corps First and Always

■/

Coming together in a common spirit - first and always - was the corps. Nothing is more important to a school than the students who bring vitality and a sense of purpose to the entire educational setting. And the common spirit identified with a group of young men aspiring to adulthood means everything to a school year. The measure of spirit is more than the total of expectations and excite ment balanced by disappointments and anticipation during the school year. True spirit is reflected in the everyday life of cadets - working and learn ing and playing and expressing new ideas in new ways. Yet no words can adequately express the feelings and spirit shown on these pages.

Special Events Add Spice to Activities In many respects, cadet life at M.M.A. was a fragmentation of groups each working in their own niches. Then on special occasions, the various groups combined talents to produce a pleasing and carefully orchestrated result. The coming together of groups was seen on many special events ranging from Dad’s Weekend and Homecoming to the Valentine Ball and the Spring Concert. Some activities involved just the corps of cadets, but many other activities became showcases for cadets to display newly acquired skills for parents, families and visitors. And in a few extraordinary events, cadets had the opportunity to perform before a national audience. One special day was the Inauguration Parade of President Jimmy Carter on Jan. 20, 1977, in Washington D.C.

Cadets See New Places and Faces The presidential inaugural was just one of many special trips to highlight 1976-77 school year. Some of the trips, like the M.M. A.-Kemper football game, involved the entire corps, while other trips were limited to specific units such as the Band, Fusileers and Color Guard which per formed at a Kansas City Chiefs NFL football game. Scores of other off-campus trips were arranged by academic classes such as a visit to the state Capitol Building by government students. And many more trips were planned just-for-fun like taking in a movie and dining in Columbia. Whatever the reason, cadets had opportunities to see new things, visit new places and learn new faces from their travels across town and across the nation.

Going arm-in-arm down the aisle, Jeff Mattingly escons Valentine Ball attendant.

Campus Life Brings Adventures Each Day Despite the fame and attention of off-campus trips, the heart of cadet life was found in the day-to-day life on campus. Each day of the calendar usually brought some type of special activity to make cadet life interesting and informative. Even the routine of formations, classes, drill, athletics and study hall became an adventure to those who put their best efforts into cadet life. So at the end of the day when TAPS sounded, the bugle call echoed the sighs of rest before starting another busy and memora ble day at 6:20 a. m.

The conquest of education While the spirit belonged to the corps, the soul of any great school is found in a solid academic program. The mental traits of learning become individ ual challenges to each student. Discovering, inquiring, probing and verifying are passwords to success in the classroom. Each student faced the same challenges and brought away unique experiences. But together, the interplay of students and ideas created some thing greater than the sum of the parts. The result was the primary goal of both the school and cadet - an education.

Commencement marks both ending, beginning The year-long efforts to unify, to build and to achieve a com mon spirit came to a momentary halt during 88th Commencement exercises in May. Underclassmen reaped awards and honors during the three days of festivities to recognize their hard work. And seniors collected dip lomas and words of advice from Lt. Gov. William Phelps who delivered the graduation address. Other highlights of the ceremonies included the Fry Public Speaking Contest, competitive drills, the Final Ball and more awards assemblies. Just before graduation, departing cadet leaders gave way to their designated successors for 1977-78. And to them also went the challenges of bringing together an outstanding corps next year - a year of promise, hope and opportunity.

Leadership traits sh own by seniors Some 49 senior cadets concluded their careers atM.M.A. in 1977, including several who began in the Junior School. As traditional, senior cadets provided leacership in the corps by setting high standards for underclassmen to follow in academics, athletics, activities and military. Commanding the cadet corps was Keith Weaver who earned two of the top Commencement awards - the Hooton Cup and Harris Cup. Ron Block was battalion adjutant while company commanders were Vince Lindwedel, Alpha; Chris Yoest, Band; Oscar Prieto, Delta; and Randy Adler, Echo. The entire class sponsored the annual Tulip Ball in April among the activities planned by seniors during the school year.

Fusileers defend drill championship The Fusileers, M.M.A.’s crack drill team, are getting into a good habit - winning the national drill team title for the second consecutive year and for the third time in six years. Commanded by Keith Weaver, the unit won the coveted Governor's Trophy at the National Invitation Drill Meet at the University of Illinois, outscoring over 70 other top teams from across the nation. The excitement of winning the championship again this year, however, was just one of several highlights for the drill

team. The Fusileers marched in the national Inaugural Parade with the Marching Band. The team also sparkled at a halftime show at the Kansas City Chiefs NFL football game in December. Closer to home, Fusileers also gave several performances for cadets and campus visitors during the school year and wrapped up their schedule with a show at Commencement. Supervised by Major Kenneth Mortenson, the drill team was nosed out of first place in the state drill meet.

Before departing, the school and corps paid tribute to Sgt. Whitworth at a battalion review and the senior class, of which he was sponsor the past two years, presented him with an officer’s saber at the Tulip Ball which was his last official duty at M.M.A. In addition to his duties in the Military Department, Sgt. Whitworth served as a friend and informal counselor to many many cadets while coaching intramural and varsity rifle teams. His rapport with cadets led to his selection as class sponsor for seniors and respect from the entire corps.

Colonels competitive during 6-3 campaign Reestablishing themselves as a competitive football power in the central Missouri area, the Colonels finished the season with a 6-3 record. M.M.A. opened and closed their season on high notes, trouncing Van-Far in the season opener, 39-6, and shutting out Kemper in the final game 47-0. But the team suffered through a mid-season lag with a sagging offense which forced the defense to pick up the majority of the workload. During the slump, the Colonels squeaked past MSD with an 8-6 win, a narrow 13-7 triumph over Westran, and losses to Warrenton, Bowling Green and Blair Oaks. Speed was the key to the Colonel attack, with one of the quicker backfields in some years, featuring Mike Wrage, Jeff Nedblake, Vince Lindwedel, and Bill Koons. Although the front line averaged only 175 pounds, the ground game was the chief weapon of the varsity, as they compiled an average of over 250 rushing yards per game. Wrage led the efforts as he racked up 1075 total rushing yards for the season. The defense was led by Andy Mainini at middle line backer, who along with Dan Matthews and Wrage, made the bulk of the tackles on the unit. The squad held opponents to less than 13 points per game, a goal of the coaches at the start of the season. All told, it was a successful season for Maj. David Stein metz and his team of 44, as he summed up the season saying, "Although we had our setbacks, it was rewarding to finish the season as we did, with three straight victories."

Quarterback Vince Lindwedel led rushing with 27 yards while a stymied Wrage finished with just 17. Oct. 1 saw the Colonels return to the win column with an 8-6 win over Missouri School for the Deaf. Wrage handled all the scoring with an 18-yard sec ond period scamper followed by a two-point conver sion. MSD scored on the ensuing possession but failed to make the two-point conversion. The second half was a defensive struggle with neither team able to move close for any scoring. Jeff Nedblake led all rushers with 100 yards and Wrage totaled 91 for the game.

Westran nearly pulls upset Winless Westran nearly came off with an upset in their Oct. 9 meeting with M.M.A., but the Colonels eased by with a 13-7 victory. The Hornets struck early in the contest and held the advantage until nearly halftime when speedy Tony King circled around on an end-around play to score for the Colonels. Jeff Nedblake put the team on top in the fourth period with a 66-yard run and added the conversion kick for the final margin of victory. MMA's defense fell to a wellbalanced Warrenton attack in the Dad's Day contest, Oct. 17, suf fering a 22-6 loss. The Colonels held the Warriors in check through the first three periods, trailing only 7-6 at the end of the third quarter, but two quick scores in the final period handed the team their second loss of the season against three victories.

Mike Wrage completed his fourth game of the season with over 100 yards, running for 103 in twelve carries. A newcomer to the M.M.A. schedule, Blair Oaks, handed the varsity its second loss in as many weeks on Oct. 21 at Lincoln Uni versity Stadium in Jefferson City, 28-21. The offense opened with a bang, scoring early in the first period, but the Falcons came right back, and led at the half, 15-13. Following a Blair Oaks score on a Colonel miscue on the second half kick-off, Wrage and Nedblake added a touchdown and a two-point con version respectively to tie the score at 21-21. The Falcons broke the tie early in the fourth period with a touchdown and kicked conversion for the final margin of victory.

Colonels reach peak in final three games The final three games of the 1976 football season were among the most successful and best played of any team in recent years. Team spirit was at a peak and all-around performance improved greatly. A soggy Homecoming crowd watched the Colonels whip rival Wentworth Military Academy 28-14 on Oct. 30. Vince Lindwedel led the offense with two touchdowns and 126 yards on nine carries. The defense also turned in a fine performance, holding the Dragons in their own terri tory throughout the contest. Winless Salisbury also fell victim to the M.M.A. rush ing game the following week, as the Colonels upped their record to 5-3, with a 22-7 win on the loser's field. Recovered fumbles kept the Colonels in good field position all night and Jeff Nedblake capitalized with two TD’s and a field goal. Capturing the coveted Gold Football for the sixth con secutive year, M.M.A. romped past undermanned Kem per 47-0 on Nov. 12. Wrage and Nedblake were heroes for the Colonels as Wrage broke the 1,000-yard mark and made three touchdowns and Nedblake scored two sixpointers. Reserves played throughout the greater portion of the game as the squad jumped to a 21-0 first quarter lead.

I Jayvee post 2-2 record for season Gaining valuable experience and playing time, the junior varsity Colonels rounded out their sea son with an even 2-2 record. The team, coached by Capt. John Hegwein and Lt. Ron Rosendahl, dropped their opening game with Van-Far Sept. 19, 8-0. The jayvees were never able to generate an effective offensive threat during the game . But the Colonels had plenty of offense the fol lowing week, as they crushed Missouri School for the Deaf on a rain-soaked field, 42-6. Jeff Mat tingly scored twice for M.M.A. and single TD's were added by Dan Matthews, Mark Bunecky, Dennis Sappington, and Dean Davison. At Mark Twain, Oct. 11, the young Colonels pulled out a 13-8 hard-fought victory. Davison scored twice for the team on sneaks and Dan Mat thews added a kicked conversion. The Jayvee bandwagon came to an abrupt halt in their final game with Centralia, as they were shutout 12-0. Again, the Colonels were unable to mount an effeceive offense until late in the game.

Head Coach Major David Steinmetz awarded let ters, provisional letters, the Len Japp Plaques for best lineman and back, and praise to members of his team. He commented on the season saying, "We wanted to improve a number of things this season: team spirit, defense, and keeping poise in difficult situations, all of which I felt we were able to do very well by season end.'' Major Steinmetz presented the Japp Plaque for best lineman to Andy Mainini for his work as strong side guard and middle linebacker on defense, and the best back award was received by Mike Wrage who racked up 1075 yards rush ing during the year. Wrage, Jeff Nedblake, and Oscar Prieto were awarded their jerseys by the coach in recogni tion of being team captains.

Tough track, schedule keep harriers winless Cross-country runners competed for their third season on the back campus track, one of the toughest courses in the area. Although the team did not win during the year, they were very competitive, running chiefly against larger and more established teams. The team was hampered also by a lack of depth, but Colonel runners did show some sparkling individual performances. Senior Augie Tetzlaff, a three year member of the team, consistently finished well and was the best runner on the team. Guillermo Enriguez, a first-year member, made a fine contribution to the team and was elected captain for next year. The varsity team was coached by Capt. Dan Beeson.

Rifle team wins regionalma tch Although the rifle team finished with only a 2-3 sea son record, their season was much more successful than the record indicated. The team was beaten by two St. Louis schools, Christian Brothers College and University High School, twice, and in two of the matches the dif ference was less than ten points out of 3,000 points pos sible. Two victories in shoulder-to-shoulder matches came against Kemper and one against CBC. But the Colonels placed first in a regional ROTC postal match and second in the National Rifle Association meet at Boonville. Will Kirchner was leading shooter for the team, winning both the Moon Plaque for best kneeling average and the Peak Trophy for standing average, as well as a second place overall finish in the NRA match. Mark Johnson, Clint Luckinbill, Jose Eichelmann, Kent Smith, Garret Swanson, and Chris Deal were also members of the team during the season.

Lack of consistency, poise plagues eagers

Finishing winless after 17 games, the varsity basketball Colonels completed a very disappointing season. The team was never able to compensate for their lack of size and experience and were undermanned in most of their games. The Colonels lost close games to military rivals Kemper and Wentworth and put on a good showing in the Iberia Tourna ment. Defense was the strong point for the team, coached by Maj. David Steinmetz, and M.M.A. was able to hold many of their opponents well below their scoring average, but they lacked consistency and poise on offense. A consistent offensive weapon was never found and they were not able to muster enough offensive output to outgun any of their oppo nents . The future appears to be brighter for Maj. Steinmetz and his team, however, as the team included three sophomores who held regular start ing positions and three juniors who will be returning. Senior Jeff Nedblake served as team captain and joined Joe Bruns and Oscar Prieto as the only seniors on the squad. Returning juniors will be Jeff Beseau, Otto Westerfeld, and Dean Davison while Bret Olendorf, Mark Bunecky, and Brent Hershman were sophomore lettermen.

The junior varsity posted victories over South Callaway, Madison, St. Thomas, and Missouri School for the Deaf. Capt. John Hegwein’s team combined a quick offense with a stiff defense to finish the season just below the .500 mark. Kent Soldwedel and Jay Woolums, sophomores, provided leader ship on the team and Champ Sill and Casey Roth were also regular starters on the team. All four will be counted on heavily both on the varsity and the junior varsity teams next season. At season’s end, Capt. Hegwein named Soldwedel and Wollums full letter winners and awarded provisional letters to senior Mark Matteson, juniors John Pielemeier and James Vaughn, sophomores John Burton and Sill, and freshmen Tommy Waters, Brad Henderson, Chris Skinner, and Roth.

Newcomers help boost wrestlers to 6-3 mark Colonel wrestlers finished the year with a strong 6-3 record. Led by team captain Vince Lindwedel, the squad pushed their record to 6-2 with victories over Montgomery R-2, twice, Centralia twice, and Wentworth, twice, going into the final match with Centralia, when the Pan thers upset the Colonels. Even with the loss of some of the team's best grapplers from the previous season, several newcomers strengthened the roster. Veterans Lindwedel, Andy Mainini, Augie Tetzlaff, Tony King, Doug Jones and Eric Carter provided the nucleus of the team and Hootan Mir-Fakhraie, Mark Ledford, Greg Sanders, Mark Weaver, Tom Potter and Kent Stephens rounded out the M.M.A. roster. Eric Carter advanced further than any other Colonel wrestler, finishing fourth at the district match and qualif ying for the regional meet, only to be eliminated in the first round. Lt. Col. Joe Bailey and Capt. David Denton, coaches of the team, awarded letters to seniors Carter, King, Lind wedel, Mainini and Tetzlaff.

"The most successful track team in many years” is what they were called by Lt. Col. Joe Bailey, athletic director and viewer of track teams for the last three and a half decades. The varsity cindermen finished with a 7-1 record, and totaled 10 points in the state meet, finishing 18th, and were the first M.M.A. team to place since 1966. Kenny Johnson qualified in the 100-yard dash, the 180-yard low hurdles, and along with Jeff Nedblake, Vince Lindwedel, and Jose Eichelmann, in the 880-yard relay. Johnson took himself out of the 100-yard event, to concentrate on the hurdles and relay. It worked as the relay team finished with a school record 1:33.7 and a fourth-place medal. Johnson took a third in the low hurdles with another school record, 20.2. But those were not the only records broken during the year. Mark Johnson smashed both the inside and outdoor high hurdle marks and Kenny Johnson set new standards in the indoor 60-yard dash and 65-yard low hurdles. In tri-military competition, the colonels dominated com pletely, scoring 111 points, to Wentworth’s 35 and Kemper’s 19. Augie Tetzlaff and Doug Jones were triple winners for M.M.A., Tetzlaff taking the mile, two-mile and the 880 and Jones swept the high jump, triple jump and pole vault.

By season’s end, Capt. Hegwein had a bare upper lip and the varsity Colonels fin ished the season with a 2-5 mark. The team downed Bevier 9-6 in a come-from-behind rally, and Montgomery City in a 12-1 rout, but lost in their first encounter with Montgomery City, against Blair Oaks, Salisbury, New Bloomfield, and Hallsville. Fielding errors and inconsistent pitching plagued the Colo nels during the season, but team hitting improved considera bly over last season. A pitching machine, donated by three alumni and former M.M.A. baseball players, was received during the season and was a great help to Capts. Hegwein and Roger Plumskey. Junior Dan Matthews, team captain, led the team in most departments: hitting, with a .473 average, pitching, with a 1-1 record, and was second in runs scored. Jeff Coonjohn led in that department with seven. Joe Bruns also sported a 1-1 pitching record for the squad. Mark Thompson was second to Matthews in hitting with a .411 average and third in runs scored with five.

Delta also shined on defense and started the season with a pair of shutouts. After beating Echo 20-0, the Blue Devils blanked Band 14-0 and then defeated Alpha 12-6 to set up the championship encounter.

IIFW1 Hard luck plagues Band, Echo teams Hard luck was the best way to describe the season of Band’s Red Raiders. Plagued by fumbles and unexpected penalties kept the Raiders from improving on their 1-3 record and third place finish in the company league under SFC Carroll Futrell. Mark Johnson was the defensive ace up the middle for Band which outsized its opponents. The Raiders' only win of the season came at the expense of Echo 6-0 which reversed the score of the team’s earlier encounter. Echo got off to a slow start with a pair of 20-0 losses to Alpha and Delta before beating Band for coach M/Sgt. Joseph Whitworth. Senior John Rose led the team at quarterback while defen sive stars included Rudolfo Zamora, John Dingsor, Bill Bilden, Eric Spellman and Ian McCravy, who won the Eagle Plaque as best lineman in the league.

Echo beats Alpha in consolation game Echo’s Golden Warriors finished in third place in winter play this year with a 58-43 win over Alpha. Trailing by two points at the end of three periods, Echo burned the nets for 27 points in the final quarter to win hand ily. Poncho Corral hit 25 points for the winners while Celso Gonzalez paced the Green Wave with 16 points. Winding up play in the intramural basketball league was a series of "B” team matches. Delta and Echo each won their two games. Chuck Taylor helped Delta to a 40-24 win over Alpha and turned around to lead the attack in the Blue Dev ils’ 50-25 romp over Band. Echo bumped Band 48-30 with Byron Harrod hitting 20 points for the winners, and then whipped Alpha 51-28.

Intramural sports provide challenge Intramural sports as well as battalion competition added variety and challenge to cadets. Several sports other than the varsity and company athletic teams pro vided outlets for cadets to demonstrate their talents and gain exercise. Soccer and horseback riding were popular year round. Lt. Col. Lawrence handled the soccer in the fall, while Capt. Bob Fedora took charge in the winter and spring. Capt. Waldo Roberts supervised the riding program and presented his charges with several awards at the sports dinners. Capt. Ray Campbell supervised the fall tennis program and Lt. Sam Mounger sponsored the recrea tional swimming activity. Wrestling, swimming, and weightlifting tournaments were held at the end of the winter season with cadets competing for medals in individual and company championships. Echo grabbed the swimming title and Alpha dominated the wrestling tournament. Champions in the weightlifting competition, supervised by Capt. Dan Beeson, were Keith Weaver at 132 pounds, Vince Lindwedel at 148, Augie Tetzlaff at 165, Randy Rose, 181, and Eric Carter, unlimited.

Sunshine and spring draw cadets outdoors Sunshine and spring brought cadets outdoors for the most widely variant sports program of the year with four varsity sports as well as nine intramural activities on the slate. Capt. Bob Fedora was in charge of soccer, Capt. Bob Sam ples and SSG Nicholas Day handled softball, Major Bill Bryan instructed archery, SFC Carroll Futrell managed volleyball, Capt. Waldo Roberts had the riding program, Lt. Col. Law rence Lawson refereed boxing and Lt. Ron Rosendahl instructed the lifesaving squad. A battalion tournament was held in boxing. Alpha won the competition with the highest total of company points with Echo in second. Capt. Dan Beeson and Capt. David Denton managed the battalion track meet and presented medals to individual winners in each event. Echo took the title in track, followed closely by Alpha. Capt. Samples also super vised a weekend bowling league. The spring also brought the physical fitness tests, and Lt. Col. Joe Bailey, athletic director, awarded medals to Greg Slater, Casey Roth, Dan Matthews, Lester Anderson, Vince Lindwedel, and Oscar Prieto for high point totals in their age groups. Lindwedel was overall high-point man followed by Joe Eichelmann.

Junior Schoolers enjoy active lives Activity was the guide word for the Junior School. Whether marching in a Sunday review or visiting Mark Twain Cave in Hannibal, young cadets were active each and every day of the school year. In many programs, Junior Schoolers stood side-by-side with their high school counterparts - such as the G.I. or Glee Club activities. But for the most part, the Junior School remained a separate unit with its own classrooms, faculty, cadet officers and barracks. The young cadets thrived in their environment which seemed to provide something for everyone. Time for study, time for work and, naturally, time for play were all planned for cadets to gain the utmost of their experience from life in the Junior School.

Competition goes with cooperation A central element of the Junior School program was com petition as an incentive for young cadets. Drilldowns on Dad’s Day and at Commencement, weekly platoon competi tion, and monthly efficiency reports gave cadets the added drive to excel. Trimester assemblies were held every three months to rec ognize top cadets in military, posture, neatness and scholar ship with medals presented to outstanding performers. Hand-in-hand with competition was another intregal ele ment - cooperation. Much of free time for cadets was uti lized in activities which encouraged group participation and work. Among the activities organized for Junior Schoolers were art classes, Glee Club, science projects, Brigadiers drill team plus much more.

Eagles nudge Lions in fall football series First year coaches Lt. Charles Laniak and Capt. Ron Green began the fall football season with very optimistic attitudes. Lt. Laniak took over an Eagle team that had won the title for four years running while Capt. Green had charge of the Lions with a crop of new prospects eager to upset the champs. Capt. Green got part of his wish, to break the 12-game win ning streak of the Eagles, but the Lions couldn’t manage a championship as the Eagle finished with a 3-1-1 mark. The Eagles took the first game in a penalty-marred con test, 12-0, with Vince Mirabella and Mike Bertucci scoring TD’s. The Lions rallied and downed their rivals 8-6 on Dad’s Weekend with John Kaufman and Mark Adamson engineering the Lions’ scoring drive. John Heimos scored the only TD in the next game as the Eagles took a 2-1 series advantage with a 6-0 victory. The fourth game became a defensive struggle with Ron Bryant of the Eagle and Adamson trading touchdowns in the 6-6 tie. Bryant led the Eagles to the championship in the fifth game, scoring a TD and two-point conversion to down the Lions 8-6. Awarded all-star medals at the Fall Sports Banquet were Ron Bryant, Ned Carter, John Heimos, Kurt Dueren, Mark Adamson, and Mark Polacek.
