OurJife and times Look at us — the cadet corps at Missouri Military Academy! Coming together from many states and^foreign lands, we share a unique experi­ ence in education beyond our role as students. Our identity is visible in our uni­ forms, a common thread which ties us to the events of today with the traditions of the past and the hopes for the future. The following pages will show you our life and times in 1978-79.

A challenging life Cadet life at M.M.A. can be described in a word — challenging. The challenge of adjusting to a new way of life — liv­ ing at a boarding school away from home, family and

friends. The challenge of a demanding schedule — rising at 6:20 a.m.z classes, military training, athletics and study

hall. The challenge of duty — from OD to waiter to hall orderly — carrying out responsibilities to help make school operations run smoothly. The challenge of self-discipline — learning to be accountable for your actions and deeds. The challenge of growth — maturing into manhood and becoming ready to take a useful place in society.

Cadets set tone of year In the classroom, in the barracks or on the parade field, the story of this school year can be told in the faces of the people who made it happen. The character and personality of M.M.A. in 1978-79 was reflections of the people who comprise the school —— cadets, faculty and staff. And the greatest influence came from the corps. Cadets of different nationalities, races and creeds set the tone for a memorable school year through their work and play. It was a dynamic year — from the first days in September to the final hours of Commencement.

Cadets savor free time With a hectic schedule from reveille to taps, cadets savored their free time to relax in the barracks. General leave periods found most cadets in their rooms talking with friends,

playing cards, reading or enjoying their stereos. Other cadets, however, looked forward to free time to collect their thoughts quietly, reflecting on the day's activi­

ties and planning for the next day. When the mood was right, cadets often liked to think up pranks and jokes to spring on their neighbors while adding fun and play to barrack's life.

1)


Cadets enjoy trips, events Special events on campus and occa­ sional trips off campus gave cadets new opportunities to discover and enjoy life. Traditional activities such as Dad’s Weekend and Evensong brought together cadets, families and friends to share memorable experiences. Cadets also traveled to new places such as the entire corps going to Colonels beat Kemper in the football season’s finale. Scores of other trips were planned to nearby attractions and a few to distant locations on the Educational Tour and Presidential Classroom. Cadet units also appeared at half­ time shows and parades as representa­ tive’s of a top-flight military school.

In the Classroom While cadet life at M.M.A. involved a multitude of extra-cur­ ricular activities, the entire school revolved around a central focal point — a sound academic program. Cadets were students first and their main objective was attaining a college-preparatory education that would serve them long after they completed their last text reading, home­ work assignment and test. Courses ranging from the basics to a variety of electives gave students an expanding body of knowledge plus the skills to con­ tinue the learning process into adulthood*.

Commencement ends eventful year All the work, all the fun, all the studying and all the preparations came to an end with three days of gradua­ tion activities in May. Commencement marked the beginning of new lives and careers for departing seniors. It also began an eventful summer for other cadets who would be back in uniform in the fall. Before leaving campus with scores of awards presented during the weekend, the corps charged through another round of activities starting with the Fry Public Speaking Contest and continuing with competitive drills, dress parades, a formal ball and traditional Baccalaureate ser­ vices. Dr. Arthur L. Mallory, Missouri commissioner of educa­ tion, delivered the graduation speech before cadets gath­ ered for a final round of farewells at Au Revoir.

Freshmen contribute

to activities This year’s freshman class pro­

duced a bumper crop of cadets con­ tributing to many campus activities

as well as creating many of their

own. Freshman students organized three class-sponsored events during the year— an informal dance at the Mismilaca lodge on the fall, a skat­

ing party in the winter and a day enjoying rides and entertainment at

Six Flags in the spring.

Peter Skinner was selected as the superior cadet in LD I and earned

Sophomores are largest in number This year’s sophomore class was the largest in the high school and by sheer numbers tenth grade cadets partici­ pated in many athletic and extra-curricular activities. Both the MP and Color Guard units were comprised solely of sophomores and the Fusileers drill team had a high percentage of sophomore cadets. John Heimos and Greg Cline shared the award for sophomore leadership potential and Cline edged his classmate for the highest scholarship plaque in the tenth grade.

Junior class sponsors ball

Junior class cadets spent an active year preparing for leadership

responsibilities as seniors.

Heading the list of important class activities this year was sponsorship

of the Valentine Ball in February. Junior worked many hours on plan­ ning for the ball which featured a visit by the reigning Miss Missouri,

Tamara Fister. The results were spectacular in the

decorating theme. Red and white

crepe paper was streamed from the apex of the gym and accented by a mirrored sphere.

Junior cadets also planned two off-campus trips during the year.

One trip was to Lincoln’s cabin in Springfield, III., and the second was a visit to St. Louis where 27 cadets saw the baseball Cardinals play the

Pittsburgh Pirates. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS — Officers of the Junior Class are from left, Hermann Gunter, Mark Porter, Col. Ardie E. McClure Jr., sponsor, Rocky Green and Brad Henderson.

Senior trait is leadership The Class of 1 979, one of the largest

graduating classes in recent years with 54 seniors, was responsible for many of the successes of the school year.

Lending their talents and energies, sen­ ior cadets were called on to be leaders in

many activities from the athletic field to barracks life. It was their time to enjoy a

final year of high school before leaving for new careers. Yet, even as seniors, these

cadets devoted many hours to make the school year enjoyable and interesting for underclass students. One example of this was the senior-

sponsored Tulip Ball in April. Decorating

the gym in a spring time theme, seniors created an enchanting scene for other

cadets, parents and guests. The just reward for seniors came at

Commencement when scores of awards were presented to members of the Class of

1 979 for outstanding efforts.

Dramateers stage 'ambitious' shows Comedy, satire, intrigue and drama were hallmarks of the Academy Dramateers who undertook a series of interesting and ambitious productions in 1 978-79. Under the direction of Capt. Rudy P. Rockwell Jr.,

Dramateers recorded two “firsts” by cadet theatrical

groups. The players staged the American and interna­ tional premiere of Ken Mitchell’s “Showdown at Sand Valley," a satire of the Canadian West.

Members of the unit also participated in the state Nov­ ice Speech and Drama Tournament in Rolla, winning praise for the judges and a medal and trophy as well.

On campus, Dramateers staged three productions dur­

ing the year with works ranging from the immortal "J. Caesar" to a light-hearted antics of the Peanut characters

in "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown," performed in a theater-in-the-round concept.

John Burton was singled out for the Stribling Trophy for the second consecutive year for the best single perform­

ance.

Highlighting the year’s activities was a performance

at Busch Stadium in St. Louis where the Marching Band and Fusileers entertained NFL football fans at halftime.

The unit also won the highest rating of all high

school musical entries at the University of Missouri Homecoming parade.

On campus, band units performed in a variety of capacities ranging from weekly reviews to daily mess formations.

Directed by Lt. Col. Paul Cherches, the Stage Band also played for productions such as concerts and the

Colonels lose in early going The Colonels’ toughest opposition in

1 978 were non-military teams who used game experience and superior execution

to win one-sided contests early in the sea­

son. Midway through the schedule, however, M.M.A.'s defense stiffened and kept the Colonels closer to their opposing teams.

M.M.A.'s offense, meanwhile, sputtered with a rash of fumbles, penalties and mis­

timing in execution. Although the team managed several drives close to the goal line, the offense wasn’t able to score until the eighth game. M.M.A.'s record wasn’t due to a lack of

effort. Spirited practices and conditioning drills were evidence of a willingness to

work and sweat and to make a good showing for the team and school. In the

end, the lumps taken early in the season

Colonels beat Kemper in finale M.M.A.’s annual football game against Kemper for the Golf

Football will be long-remembered for the Colonels' incredible last-minute touchdown to cap a 21-18 win.

Trailing 1 8-7 at halftime, M.M.A. battled back to within four points in the waning minutes of the contest. The Colonels

launched a do-or-die drive that was kept alive by several

Kemper penalties. Then, with 1 9 seconds left on the clock, a

flea-flicker double reverse in the backfield and pass from Ezra Guzman to Mark Porter was completed as Porter stag­ gered across the goal line for the winning TD. The entire corps at the game whooped and hollered to cel­

ebrate M.M.A.’s victory over its arch-rival.

Rifle team places in postal matches A first-place finish in the Second ROTC Region Postal Match highlighted competition for Colonel riflemen in 1 97879. The varsity team, under first-year coach Col. Ardie E. McClure Jr., earned a spot in the National ROTC Postal Match based on the regional finish. In shoulder-to-shoulder matches, however, riflemen lost twice to two strong St. Louis teams and split in a pair of matches against rival Kemper. The rifle squad also fired in the annual Camp Perry Match, placing a respectable fifth and eighth place by two M.M.A. entries.

Cagers learn new offense in 2-13 year M.M.A.'s varsity basketball team laid the groundwork for

future success this year with a new fast-break offense imple­

mented by coach Major David Steinmetz. Colonel eagers, learning a new system, posted only two

wins in a 2-13 season — both victories coming over rival Wentworth Military Academy. M.M.A., however, was com­ petitive in several other games, losing to MSD by a single point, but also was convincingly defeated in a number of

other games. While the team as a whole did not reach some of its goals, one player won individuals honors at the end of the season.

Team captain Mark Bunecky was named to the Mexico area all-star team and was picked for the military school's all-state

team. He also earned the team's most valuable player tro­

Wrestlers win tri-military title Varsity wrestlers rebounded from a slow

with a 4-4 record and the tri-military champi­ onship.

Veteran coach Col. Joe Bailey watched his squad lose four of its first five meets before

Christmas furlough. But the team responded

to the challenge of military school rivalry. M.M.A.'s victory over Wentworth also

avenged a defeat in the first match of the sea­

son.

Ian McCravy won the Keaton Trophy as the

squad’s best wrestler by scoring 27 points during the season. Jon Koenig and John

Didion tied for second with 24 points and Tom Potter was next with 20.

In addition to winning the tri-military championship, M.M.A. highlighted its sea­ son with a pair of wins over cross-town rivals, at Mexico High School. Antonio Trespalacios, the Colonels' # 1 player, won the singles crown in tri-military competition while Andres Chapa and Mark Bunecky teamed to win the doubles cham­ pionship.

r... IfiA.-l

M.M.A.’s varsity baseball squad provided Colonel sports fans with an interesting season on its way to a 2-6 record. Half of the team’s games were decided by one-run margins with M.M.A. winning two of the four contests. Only in the season’s finale in district play was the team out of contention. First-year coach Capt. Ron Rosendahl was assisted by Capt. Rudy P. Rockwell Jr. in handling one of the largest turnouts for var­ sity baseball at the Academy. Some 34 cadets signed up for the spring sport, nearly enough players for two complete intra-squad games. The Colonels fielded a mixture of returning players and new squad members. Lack of timely hitting and a porous defense proved to be obstacles during the season, but the team showed spurts of solid play and excellent pitching in its two victories. Mark Porter recorded both pitching wins for M.M.A.

over tri-military rivals. The squad’s only blemish was a second place finish in a tri-meet involving two

larger 3A schools. Team captain Derek Kennedy earned

Intramural sports provide challenges A wide variety of athletic activities provided challenges and

exercise during the school year for cadets who did not participate

in varsity sports. Offerings during the fall sports season in addition to company football were softball, soccer, tennis and horseback riding.

Winter intramural sports featured company basketball, weight­

lifting, soccer and horseback riding. During inclement weather, cadets also played volleyball, went ice skating, held physical train­ ing drills in the gym.

Spring sports meant outside activities again with the exception of advanced water safety. Horseback riding, soccer, softball, arch­

ery and boxing were also open for cadets. Cadets also competed for medals in several battalion athletic

tournaments. Boxing, swimming, wrestling, track and weightlifting

contests gave cadets more opportunities for intramural competi­ tion. HEAVE HO — Mott Hall strains to lift the barbell in the weightlifting tournament above.

Col. Ardie E. McClure Jr., a 30-year Army veteran. New activities implemented during the

school year included road marches and special Army Day events to complement

the schedule of drill and classroom instruc­ tion. Cadets also fired on the rifle range and

Fun, games on Army Day After the hard work preparing for the AFI, cadets had fun on the following day with the first Army Day celebration at

M.M.A. Cadets started the day with a road march to the Mexico Airport but stormy

weather cancelled plans for helicopter

rides. The day wasn't over, however, as the

corps returned to campus for a steak din­ ner and field games sponsored by the

Cadet Council. Cadets competed in a series of individ­

ual and team events with a

trophy

awarded to the company scoring the most points. Echo earned the honors in the inau­

several offerings for cadets to select. In an abbreviated basketball schedule,

the eighth grade Eagles coached by Capt.

games was more competitive as Capt. Ron Green's Lions won two, lost two and tied in another game with their rivals.

rivalry with Capt. Duane Shutter and Capt. Ron Green as coach of the respective teams. Lt. Col. Robert Piper instructed tennis

and Capt. Mike Menneke supervised the

horseback riding program. Cadets also competed in soccer as a
