il Dedication When Lt. Col. Joe Bailey retires this year, he will leave with us over four decades of dedicated service and out­ standing achievements which mark his loyalty to the ideals upon which this Academy was founded and continues to thrive.

The Cadet Corps takes this time to salute Lt. Col. Bailey for his exemplary upholding of those ideals—of Honor, Leadership, Discipline and Duty, to ourselves, our fellow men and to our country.

k Dean Joe Bai Lt. Col. Joe Bailey will this year after 40 years with Missouri Military Academy.

In those years Dean Bailey has served the Academy as an officer-in-charge, coach of varsi­ ty football, wrestling and track, instructor of social studies, director of athletics and the

etires after 40 years Academy’s first dean of faculty.

Among his more outstand­ ing achievements were those made during his term as D.O.A. when he broadened and expand­ ed the athletic program into what it is today—one of the most comprehensive programs of any secondary school around.

He has actively and sincere­ ly involved himself in all phases of cadet life, helping to lead us toward our fullest potential and providing a model of manhood we all hope to attain someday.

We wish him the best, and we shall continue to “stand tall” remembering him and his direc­ tion. ______________

The 91st Corps: Ready to prove ourselves

We came from 25 states and 11 different countries. And we came tor for many reasonsacademic improvement, athletics, guidance, leadership train­ ing and to learn to be men.

We recognized early the traditions of the cadet blue, how to stand tall and be counted, and how to follow in order to lead.

We were convinced the 91st Corps of Cadets of Missouri

Military Academy would be the finest, and we stood ready to prove it.

There is no substitute for brains, and there is absolutely no substitute for competitive spirit.

Nearly 300 register Among those who registered for the 91st year of Missouri Military Academy were 18 sets of brothers and one set of three brothers: Edgar, Tico and Julio Urdaneta of Maracaibo, Ven­ ezuela.

In addition, several fathers who are M.M.A. graduates accompanied their sons for registration.

New and old cadets had only one week to practice for their first Sunday Review before Channel 8 TV televised the Corps and interviewed Col. Charles Stribling III, president, who told Chan­ nel 8, "investing in their children’s secondary education is just as impor­ tant as investing in their college education, if not more so, to parents.”

Several Junior Schoolers also were interviewed regarding "M.M.A.’s Bud­ ding Enrollment.”

First order promotes 76 Seventy-six promotions came with the first order of the year. Among those promoted were Battalion Commander Brad Henderson to 1st Lt., Adjutant Matt Titus, and Company Commanders Greg Parker, Don Seidler, Derek Ken­ nedy and Fernando Menendez to 2nd Lt.

Cadet leaders show recruits the way Returning to campus early this year were 16 cadets who attended the three-session leadership seminar. LTC Ronald Charrier, commandant of ca­ dets, and Capt. Robert Samples, as­ sistant commandant, instructed those 16 outstanding cadets on what goes into good leadership. Later they showed recruits the way to become cadets.

Recruits registered first—on Sept.

4 and 5. Then came the old cadets on Sept. 6.

M.M.A. leaders shaped up recruits within the first week, firmly showing them the proper posture, military courtesy and drill techniques.

They learned in order to join those in leadership positions, they first would need to follow. And the M.M.A. leaders served as models and instructors.

Recruits would learn the M.M.A. cadet handbook and follow it, respect those in command and live by the Cadet Honor Code.

Their new lives took on order and self-discipline, and they learned to live according to those ideals and stan­ dards upon which the Academy was founded.

Each day brought on new chal­ lenges for recruits, as well as for the old

cadets. But the first task was to look like a corps—the 91st Corps.

Nine most outstanding recruits were awarded the coveted Gold Star in October as members of an Honor ROTC Unit with distinction. Those first awards went to David Pickel, Leandro Rosado, Phil Kahler, Paul Maxwell, Rick Cotton, Gabriel Garza-Herrera, Jim Terschluse, Gary Cline and Rodolfo Grunberger.

The next month Clint Aichs, Scott Beebe, Jose Calzada, Dan Garrison, Luke Martin, Jake Page, Hector Porragas, Scott Suverkrup and Mark Ta­ bor received the same award.

LTC Charrier called the award “the most coveted award for any new cadet, perhaps the most important recognition a recruit can receive the entire first year.”

Those recruits were in the top 15% of their class and excelled in discipline and scholarship.

“The great actions of a great general are not the results of chance and destiny; they come from planning and training.”

— Napolean’s 82nd Maxim

91st Corps settles down to year’s study, activities It didn’t take long for the 91st Corps to settle down to the year's routine of hard study and exciting activities. Those would be as the

Academy traditionally has held, but the 91st was sure our year would be special.

We were eager to prove how quickly we had learned. The leaders had shouldered the responsibility of helping the others pull together.

Before the first month was over, Price Laird was commended by the National Merit Scholarship Program, officers were chosen, activities organ­ ized, athletic teams were playing and a series of social events were planned for the year.

Most exciting of the coming events would be Dad’s Weekend, when cadets, new and old, would visit with our parents for the first time since school started.

The 91st had developed the M.M.A. spirit and seemed ready for any contest. We were proud!

The goal: To excel Our desire was to excel in whatever we attempted, as individuals, as companies and as a Corps. Ours was the will to achieve, to progress and to win. The Academy did not remain one of the best in the nation merely because of its physical structures, but because of the cadets, particularly, and our determination to be the best.

As in Corps before, the 91st refused to be indifferent: we thrived on the contest of the day and the continuing challenge to perform the best we knew how.

Throughout the year we would have the opportunity to prove that fighting spirit—in classes, in inspec­ tions, in athletics, in spiritual wonder and in accepting the manhood we were entering.

“On fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds which in other years on other fields will bear the fruit of victory.”

—Gen. Douglas MacArthur

13

Corps brings strength The Corps learned quickly and well that together we could accomplish even the most difficult goals.

We worked together—in class, as spectators, as performers, and plan­ ners of an ever-progressing Missouri Military Academy.

And our rewards were many for the spirit and new life we engendered into one of the oldest military schools in the nation.

NATATORIUM COMPLETION DAT&lfldfc*.

Commitment continues When M.M.A. broke ground early in the year for a Natatorium, it was continuing proof of the Academy’s on-going progress which cadets, our parents and friends have committed themselves to for 91 years.

It was a grand ceremony for a long-time goal now in the molding, and it brought the Corps even closer together at the 1979 Homecoming.

Completion of the Natatorium would not come easy, but this was another beginning which required hard work, and determination, the backbone of the M.M.A. spirit and tradition.

Continuing progress would come from the new life and added strength brought to the Academy by the 91st Corps, as Corps before it had brought.

91st embarks on new year With respect for the past and those who came before us, and with hopes for an outstanding year before us, the 91st Corps was ready to embark on a new year.

We would daily take on the challenge of upholding the M.M.A. traditions and ideals.

We would strive for scholarship, and we would work to improve our self-discipline. We would develop physically, mentally and spiritually, meanwhile enjoying a full calendar of events and activities throughout the year.

This was just the beginning.

Many show faith In M.M.A.’s growth Parents, alumni and other friends of the Academy showed their faith in M.M.A. early in the year by promising to give significantly toward building the Natatorium and other development. By the end of the year, the Academy would receive the largest amount ever subscribed in a single year toward building.

In addition, the Edward E. Ford Foundation granted $10,000 toward our international student program and scores of parents gave in time, gifts and pledges for other M.M.A. goals.

Throughout the year, field trips included the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis, yearbook clinic at Northeast Missouri State University, Buddy Rich at William Woods College, Flamenco Dancers at Webster College, Handel’s Messiah in St. Louis, banks in Mexico and the state capital.

Early in the year, the Rifle Team heard it had won the Championship Cup, junior division, in the National ROTC Interscholastic Rifle Match against 30 top U.S. high school teams.

Phil Andrews and Lewis Kraus were named outstanding cadet and squad leaders at Ft. Leonard Wood’s ROTC summer camp against 200 participants, and the Military Department pur­ chased new equipment for the entire corps.

Derek Kennedy went to state in golf, and Jim Terschluse had an undefeated tennis season in singles.

ROTC programs were expanded to emphasize leadership and introduced an orienteering class, an electronic communications course and more instruction in oral and written communication.

Revamping of the guidance services included emphasis on test-taking and career planning throughout the entire upper school. Price Laird was commended by the National Merit Scholarship Program and Matt Titus and Mike Beckmann were nominated — and later accepted — to the U.S. Military Academy.

First semester found all faculty and staff completing self-evaluation studies of their classes and programs in preparation for the Feb. visit by the North Central Association and Independent Schools Association of the Central States and renewed accreditation.

Meanwhile, traditional activities continued: the 32nd Dad’s Weekend, class elections, canoe trips, Sunday Reviews, Vespers, productions by the Dramateers, Homecoming, the Mark Twain Parade, Open Weekend, Thanksgiving activities, Evensong, Christmas parties, sports banquets, formal balls, Mother’s Day, visit by the Board of Visitors, and the Educational Tour.

The entire corps marches onto the Wentworth football field.

By the end of the year, the committee of parents and alumni raised a record amount, exceeding their original goal by 14 percent, toward funding the Natatorium.

Leadership gifts and pledges were 25% over their goal and included the largest individual gift in school history, from Mr. Ben J. Schaefer, ’07.

Throughout second semester, we continued our spirit of competition in all fields, and our efforts would well reap rewards by the end of the year.

We found relief from our busy schedules in social and travel activities during the year, including Saturday night movies, several buffet dinners, the Battle of the Bands, productions by Dramateers, sports banquets, balls, field trips, movies in Columbia, float trips, skating parties and campouts.

One highlight of the year was a first visit to M.M.A. by the U.S. Army Field Band and Soldiers Concert Chorus from Washington, D.C. Brad Henderson greets the U.S. Army Field Band.

Before the year was over, we were rewarded for our performance. Results of evaluations made us proud of our work.

From the Board of Visitors: “M.M.A. continues to seek academic excellence within a framework of firm, fair discipline. It continues to grow and prosper in a field that has been generally on the decline.”

From the North Central and ISACS evaluating team: ‘‘This is one of the most impressive, well-organized operations (we’ve) ever seen.” The team voted unanimously to continue accreditation.

From the Annual Formal Inspection team: “A first-class school, very superb, a very good showing.” We received a perfect score and again rated Honor School with Distinction.

Cadets will remember A good, good year The Fusileers won national first place trophies in squad and platoon competition and four of the top ten places nationally in individuals; in the district music contest, M.M.A. took five top places; the Eagle was awarded the Gallup International Honor Award, first and second in National Scholastic Press Assn, and first honors from Missouri Interscholastic Press Assn. Taps received the highest award given by MIPA — All Missouri — and Phil Darling received Honorable Mention in photography.

Matt Titus and Mike Beckmann won full Army ROTO scholarships to the colleges of their choice and four seniors, Mike Beckmann, Brad Henderson, Price Laird and Matt Titus, were recognized by the Society of Distinguished American High School Students, the nation’s leading high school honor society.

Tradition has it cadets throw their hats into Teardrop Lake after Au Revoir. Only two cadets did that, and then they looked back. What was left by Commencement evening, after a lot of hugging and some tears, were some who lingered on as long as we could, and memories of a good, good year.

Man’s Heritage Takes Precedence In Social Studies World Geography, World History, psychology, sociology, U.S. History, economics and U.S. Government all played an important segment in M.M.A.’s Social Studies Department’s emphasis on teaching man’s historical heritage, the cause and effects in life and a greater understanding of man’s past, present and future.

Visiting speakers, resource persons from the community and field trips provided additional insight for students in this area.

Lt. Timothy W. Daniel, new this year, was instructor of U.S. Government, econom­ ics and World Geo­ graphy. Other assign­ ments included Delta Company’s resident faculty member, coach of that company’s bas­ ketball team and assis­ tant varsity track team coach.

Latin I, II; French I, II; Spanish I, II, III and two levels of English as a Second Language made up the Foreign Language Department.

Three foreign language instructors, two of them with Ph.D.’s, led the department with the goal of developing student knowledge and appreciation of other cultures, including the unique situation of teaching English to a large number of foreign students.

A sizable grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation helped implement further expan­ sion of the Academy’s international student program in five specific areas: a bi-lingual learning center, an international student cultural events program, a part-time resource person, immersion in U.S. culture and further training for instructors in English as a second language.

Capt. James Norton, who taught three levels of Spanish and English as a Second Language, also served as foreign student adviser. Capt.

Norton’s Ph.D. is in Romance Languages.

Counselor, Learning Specialist Work together to Provide needed Extra focus With a bachelor’s degree from Washington & Lee and advanced de­ grees from Tulane and Harvard, Lt. Gerald H. Shields reorganized the Academy’s Guidance and Counseling Department into a more comprehensive program, particularly for the majority intending to enter college after gradua­ tion.

Closely alligned with Lt. Shields’ counseling program was the work of Mrs. Christine Lee, Learning Resource Specialist, whose concentrated efforts and experience enriched the learning of many cadets needing more emphasis in math, reading and spelling.

SENIORS

Seniors provide Spirit, leadership For 91st Corps Thirty-seven seniors re­ ceived diplomas from Senator Thomas F. Eagleton May 25, but not before they had earned it with a spirited year of leadership in every phase of cadet life.

The seniors dominated the varsity sports program, acad­ emic standings, attendance at social events, barracks life and organized one of the more outstanding Tulip Balls the Academy’s seniors have had.

Three seniors, Price Laird, Derek Kennedy and Brad Hen­ derson, shared top honors for the year, but many other seniors during the year earned their due rewards for outstanding work and leadership also.

Bradley Lawrence Henderson Brad was more than Battalion Commander this year.

He was one of those cadets who, busier than any of us, was willing to somehow work into his schedule those extra minutes necessary to make the 91st Corps what it was this year.

Brad’s interests during his four years at M.M.A. were many, from academics, military, to, and particularly, music.

This year he shared major awards, including the Charles I. Wall Cup for service, scholarship, leadership and character, the Babe Ruth Sportsmanship Award and the John Cornett Memorial Award for music.

If there is one word for Brad, it must be “willing.”

But, Honey, it’s ONLY Miss Missouri. . .

Michael Wesley Beckmann Sam

attended M.M.A. for two years, and they went too fast for him. Sam, or Mike, never got enough of Capt. Sam Mounger’s class. To him, Capt. Mounger was his greatest inspiration, and energy and inspiration Mike had, along with determination.

Mike’s goal is to attend West Point or VMI. That should be no problem: he was one of two seniors who won a full Army R.O.T.C. scholarship to the college of his choice. But first things first, and that’s a trip to Mexico.

General leave usually found Tim, if not at the Roller Rink, at the Liberty Theater, and he never missed a formal ball.

Donald Eugene Seidler, Jr. Tiny

became a dedicated cadet in his three years here. He never seemed to keep the same home address for long, but he likes traveling around the world. The Academy counted on Don for its football and baseball wins. In his off-time, you could usually find Don lifting weights.

ACTIVITIES

Fusileers continue Winning history The Fusileers, M.M.A.’s distinguished Exhibi­ tion and Regulation Drill Team, gathered an impressive record of victories at national and state competitions. First place trophies in squad and platoon competition and four of the top ten places in individual competition were their national wins.

In individual, Mark Porter took 1st; Mike Leseburg, 8th; Hootan Mir-Fakhraie, 9th, and Gustavo Calzada, 10th, in the largest drill meet in the nation.

The 16 man Exhibition Platoon beat rival Kemper Military School and College to take the first place trophy in Exhibition. The Squad IDR also took first place in IDR Drill. The 20 man IDR Platoon placed third.

At State, the Fusileers took second place in military school competition in Exhibition and IDR and second place overall, bringing home three trophies.

In addition to competition drill, the team performed at Busch Stadium before 40,000 NFL fans and national television and at the Hearnes Multi-Purpose Building in Columbia as a half-time show for the MU-KU basketball game. They included three on-campus shows also this year.

The Fusileers are supervised by Major Kenneth Mortenson and commanded by Cadet Major Brad Henderson.

Team Holds Its Own

Jim Calhoun kicks a punting ball against the Van Far Indians.

Backed by a lineup of five senior leaders with experience and 15 returning provisional lettermen, the Colonels opened their season optimistically, prov­ ing their superiority over last year with wins against Kemper, MSD and Westran before falling to a losing streak they could not shake until their last, but impor­ tant, contest again against Kemper.

Improved quickness and a better offense helped the Colon­ els with a 4-6 record against strong opposition.

Handicapped by backfielder Mark Porter’s early injury which kept him out of play from the first Kemper game on, the Colonels maintained their optimism. A bad loss to Versailles and Van Far brought a turn of events, with the Colonels getting back on the map against Westran.

Jim Calhoun ran two touchdowns, one with only 14 seconds left in the game.

That win, plus the close victory against MSD earlier, during which Fernando Menendez kicked a 37-yard field goal, encouraged the varsity players as they went against Warren and WMA. The Warrenton loss hurt most, since dads were there for their weekend. Menendez recovered two fumbles during that contest.

Against Wentworth, Jim Calhoun scored M.M.A.’s only touchdown and Jeff West made the 2-point conversion.

Losses to North Shelby and Fayette further disappointed the Academy team, but a final win against Kemper kept the gold football in Colonels’ land for the ninth year in a row.

The junior varsity football team opened their season plagued by penalties on the offense. Bob Lehnherr was lead­ ing rusher against Van-Far, rushing for 52 yards on 8 carries, and Freddy Perdomo gained 45 yards on 11 carries.

The Jayvees worked on their wishbone and many gained experience valuable for next year. They finished their season with a 1-3 record, losing their final game against Centralia 11-0. Mud and cold further hurt the Jayvee game against Cen­ tralia. Standouts in that last contest were Steve Drone and Bill Pease.

The Colonels maintained their claim to the gold football for the 9th straight year Nov. 15 after beating the Kemper Yellowjackets 14-0 in one of the oldest prep school rivalries west of the Mississippi.

It was the last game of the season, but a game packed with emotion and with the entire Kemper corps on the Colonels’ field. Fullback Freddy Perdomo dove for a four-yard touchdown with 31Z> minutes left in the second quarter, and fullback Freddy Menendez ran the two point conversion.

Freddy made the second touchdown, a two-yard dive, with only 27 seconds left in the third quarter. Dave Steinmetz, who moved up from the JV squad in the previous Fayette battle, was nailed before he could make the conversion.

The Yellowjackets and Colonels seemed fairly evenly matched, both inching their way up and down the field throughout the game.

Jeff West made 52 yards on 14 carries. Freddy Menendez made 117 yards on 18 carries as leading ground gainer, and Freddy Perdomo made 15 yards on 6 carries.

The yearly contest has been going on at least since 1921.

Brian was high firer against CBC with 242 points and against St. Louis University HS with 232.

Rudy Grunberger was the upcoming rifler. Other notable shooters were Mike Darling, Bob Gross and Rob Gillum.

No-Win Season Leaves Cagers To Build The Colonels struggled through a tough no-win basketball season, unable to manage one victory in the 14 games of the season.

The players were mostly underclassmen and inexperienced, but worked on improving their ball club for next year.

Coach David Steinmetz broke in three leading sophomores this year: John Fowler, who became a leading scorer, Steve Drone and David Steinmetz.

John was pulled out early in the year because of an injured shoulder, but returned after Christmas furlough.

In addition, the varsity squad missed a top shooter in Derek Kennedy against R-6 when Derek was ill.

The squad hurt for experience, height, rebound­ ing strength and, particularly, practice time, but concentrated on building a stronger team to change the tide next year.

Inclement weather cancelled the first games, and although theirs was a losing season, the team hung in well, but had some bad breaks they could not over­ come.

Mark Porter led the team in batting and pitching. Pitching the two wins, Mark was named most outstanding pitcher.

Freddy Perdomo, catcher for every game, also was cited, as were other members.

Mark had the highest batting average with .444. Don Seidler was second with .391, Dario Gais, .375, and Freddy Perdomo, .364.

Ironically, the 6-0 win by the Raiders was the same score Echo won against Alpha last year.

During the fall sports banquet, Dave Doyle

was awarded the Eagle Plaque as best lineman in company football. From Charlie, Tony Mannella, John Heimos and David Doyle were chosen for outstanding playing in the Battalion league.

Delta scored again, but didn’t make the conversion, and Alpha, refusing to give up, scored for a tied 14-14.

In the last two minutes of play, Delta scored

for 20-14, only to give in to Alpha in the last three seconds and a 22-20, Green Wave, third place victory.

From Alpha, Leo Rosado and Chris Vandenburg were named outstanding, along with Chris Taylor and Ben Buchanan from Delta.

Chris Taylor received the Eagle Plaque for best back.

In the last game before the semi-finals, Delta’s Raul Tellez made high points for the Devils — 10 in all. But Delta never did get ahead.

Delta’s Cy Watson was the one-on-one champ this year. He was also picked as a company all-star.

Cadets Compete In Intramurals Under the careful and dedicated guidance of LTC Joe Bailey, director of athletics, the Academy has developed a superior athletic program designed to allow all cadets to participate with others at their level of ability and achievement, to keep themselves fit and to develop skills in recreational activities.

Besides the 10 varsity sports offered through­ out the year, M.M.A. offers 12 athletic activities in intramural sports.

Autumn athletics include company football, equitation, softball, tennis and soccer; winter, soccer, weightlifting, equitation, company basket­ ball; spring, equitation, Red Cross life-saving, softball, boxing, soccer, volleyball, archery and physical training.

All new cadets are given physical fitness tests at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. In addition, non-swimmers must take a course in swimming.

Cadets compete for medals in several battalion tournaments: boxing, swimming, wres­ tling, track and weightlifting, with many opportuni­ ties for intramural competition.

Each new season ushers in an awards banquet when cadets are rewarded for outstanding play in a particular sport.

Physical Training Tests Measure Recruits’ Skills Every recruit must undergo a series of physical training tests during his first week at the Academy.

The tests measure a recruit’s ability, skill and endurance in a variety of events.

At the end of the year, the same recruits are re-tested in those events to measure improvement.

This part of the athletic program is in keeping with the Academy’s philosophy that cadets should develop and maintain good conditioning and training and develop a competitive spirit as an individual and as a member of the team.

A continued revitalization program of the JROTC program under direction of Col. Ardie McClure, a 30-year Army veteran, resulted in a perfect score by a team of Army evaluators during the Annual Formal Inspection.

M.M.A. headed the list of 39 schools designated ROTC Honor Units with Distinction.

Emphasis this year included verbal and written communication, orienteering skills such as map-reading in a compass course, drill and leadership.

Road marches and new Army Day events complemented routine drill exercises and class­ room instruction, along with riflery.

SFCs Nick Day and Joe Mann instructed LD I and LD II classes with Capt. Bob Samples assisting again in the LD III instruction of military history and leadership.

This year the following cadets were named most valuable in the leadership development classes: Rodolfo Grunberger, LD I; Borden Borden, LD II; North Charles, LD III, and Chris Taylor, LD IV.

Corps Earns Perfect Score An almost unheard of perfect score was given the 91st corps of cadets when a team of Army inspectors evaluated the ROTC program of M.M.A. As a result, the Academy headed a list of 39 schools designated ROTC Honor Units with Distinction by the U.S. Army, 2nd Region, which includes eight middlewestern states. The school received perfect scores also in 1971 and 1972.

The perfect score was announced to the Corps during Commencement when Col. Charles Stribling III, president, proclaimed the 134 points out of a possible 134, and the entire audience cheered.

M.M.A. has held the rating of JROTC Honor School this past 50 years and Honor School with Distinction since that rating has been established.

This year the evaluating team included Col. Richard Rice, chairman of the Military Science Department at the University of Missouri, who served as chairman of the committee; Captain Patrick McMillan, on the MU military science staff; 1st Lt. Stephen Lewis, and 1st Sgt. Howard Bennett, Missouri National Guard, who inspected the Junior School.

Col. Ardie McClure, senior Army instructor, stated, “The Corps was judged on what they learned throughout their M.M.A. experience. They have paid attention, learned well, and that is why their performance came automatically to them. You cannot learn that overnight.”

Col. McClure is assisted by SFCs Nick Day and Joe Mann and Capt. Robert Samples.

Helicopters arrive For Army Day This year the Military Department made a full Army Week out of April 14-19, starting with the Army Field Band's performance, AFI and climaxing with Army Day the following Saturday.

For the first time, Army Day was highlighted by the arrival of three medevac helicopters and one troop carrier of the Missouri National Guard.

Cadets were taken up in the helicopters for a brief flight around Mexico, departing from and returning to the Mexico air field. Cadets were trucked back to the Academy where they had a steak cook-out, field games and a chance to see the mechanics of the helicopters.

The Junior School won the Tugof-War contest again this year. Other winners were Ned Carter, pie-eating contest; Jeff West and Pat Saylor, three legged race; D Co., sack relay; E Co., Tug-of-War, and A Co., wheelbarrow race.

Junior Cadet Life Portrays Spirit \\ /

Life in the Junior School was spirited and vibrant. About 90 cadets in grades 4 through 8 enjoyed a full schedule of classes, drill, athletics and activities and many opportunities to explore new interests and hobbies.

Although separate from the high school, Junior School activities often were part of the over-all school schedule.

Cadets were rated on their scholarship, military, discipline and barracks, and to add variety to their lives, many field trips, campouts and other fun projects were part of their year.

Junior School platoons are pictured on facing page. Left, Rusty Courson, commander, at ground-breaking ceremony for Natatorium. Below, Bravo Company staff, from left, Alvin.

Maeys, guidon carrier; Joseph Ferencik, platoon leader; Steve Moffat, company commander; Lt. Col. Robert Piper, commandant; Lt. Col. Derrill Kuhlman, headmaster; Rusty Courson, platoon leader; Miller McCrabb, first sergeant; Martin Barberena, adjutant. (Not shown, Luis Beauregard, platoon leader.)

161

A well-rounded, experienced faculty guided junior cadets through academic preparation, competitive and individual athletics, military, and extra-curricular activities.

Under direction of veteran headmas­ ter Lt. Col. Derrill Kuhlman and Lt. Col. Robert Piper, seven other teachers provided instruction and counseling for a full Junior School.

In addition, high school teachers were available to teach music, art and jour­ nalism on an individual and group basis.

The Junior School, like the high school, received excellent ratings both from the Independent Schools Assn, of the Central States and Army inspectors in the Annual Formal Inspection, after a com­ prehensive and detailed study by both groups.

Bravo Company par­ ades in final review of the year before Com­ mencement guests.

162

Lt. Col. Robert Piper, a 1947 graduate of M.M.A., served as commandant of the Junior School and was in charge of barracks life. In addition, LTC Piper was part of the instruc­ tional team for grades 4 through 8.

Lt. Col. Derrill Kuhlman, head­ master of the Junior School for many years, was in charge of academic planning and pro­ gram. He also was chairman of the committee to prepare for the ISACS evaluation team.

Juniors Join Senior Cadets Junior cadets took part in many high school activities, some just for enjoyment, but others, like the Annual Formal Inspection and ISACS evalua­ tion, required the highest per­ formance in order to maintain the excellent ratings both Jun­ ior School and high school have

attained for years.

Although the juniors were younger and less experienced, they held their own against intensive scrutiny and, along with the high school, not only maintained their honor distinc­ tion, but helped M.M.A. achieve a perfect AFI score.
