Seniors provide Spirit, leadership For 91st Corps
Thirty-seven seniors received 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, academic 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 Henderson, shared top honors for the year, but many other seniors during the year earned their due rewards for outstanding work and leadership also.
Senior Class officers were Enrique Elizondo (left), Derek Kennedy, Don Seidler and Brad Henderson. Col. Ardie McClure (center) was class sponsor
Seniors wait impatiently for their Commencement to begin.
Brad Henderson (center) crowned Michelle Burnett queen of the Tulip Ball during one of the 'most successful dances the Senior Class has had. The queen was escorted by Enrique Elizondo (left), Debbie Kudran (not shown), Derek Kennedy, Susan Karl, Brad, Sue Briggs, Don Seidler, Stacey Wardlow and Roberto Tovar.

Paul Toedebusch, battalion commander-designate, led the Senior Class in their final review of the year.
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. . .

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.
But, Capt. Rockwell, I didn’t steal the lines!

Timothy Alan Bryan
Timbo had two loves at M.M.A.: music and the Roller Rink. All four years he was in the band, and he spent a lot of time in Men’s Chorus and took vocal lessons his sophomore year.

David Scott Doyle
Dave was one of the most fun-loving seniors this year. Among his specialties was racing cars and going to drag races when he could. Disco music was not his “thing,” but heavy rock was another story. Hoping for a music major in college, Dave, meanwhile, will be “cruising” the country in his El Camino.

Mark Stuart Gray
Sanchez spent five years at M.M.A. He had a difficult time staying off the stick sheet and attending formations in the morning, but if anyone needed to be cheered up, he could do it. This year he was 1st floor commander and X.O. for Echo Company.

Todd was one of the most energetic and enthusiastic cadets in the 91st, always willing to take on another task, whether for credit or not. He just wanted to be involved. A member of Charlie Company his two years, Todd had the distinction of serving as Drum Major at Busch Stadium and on television. He was a second order private. Now he’s off to the wild, blue yonder.

Robert William Kelley, Jr.
Oz usually had a clean room, but heaven help the person who went into the “swamp” after athletics. Oz enjoyed weightlifting and was a pretty good football player. He was sure proud of being a member of an Honor Company (1977-78), and he was a member of the Green Bay Bombers.

Private Kelley reporting, Sir!
Bo Derek was one of the most fun-loving cadets, but with plenty of ambition and the nicest Louisiana drawl. Sharing in major awards at Commencement, Derek was voted by the corps as the most valuable cadet, the most effective cadet councilman and the senior most likely to succeed. Derek went to State in golf and received a scholarship in that sport. This year he was Alpha Company commander.

Augusto Larrondo Fernandez Chiquillo took a long time making up the
decision to come to M.M.A., but before he got very far into the year, he was saying what “a smart decision” that was. Larrondo liked a lot of exercise and, in the summers he gets that on the bulls.

Freddy was usually a good cadet, but had a little trouble keeping his temper under control. A marvelous athlete, he was one of the best football players and swimmers at M.M.A. Freddy was always one of the stars at athletic banquets because of his sense of humor and original expressions.

Hootan rose quickly among the M.M.A. ranks and won the Fusileer of the Year Award Plaque for the Neatest room. This year he was promoted to Cadet Adjutant and was one of the most soldierly, polite and poised cadets on campus. He also was one of the most sorry to leave, although he took his share of kidding.
