Administration Building renamed Stribling Hall The Trustees of Missouri Military Academy have named the school’s administration building Stribling Hall, in recognition of 62 years of service to the institution by Col. Charles R. Stribling, Jr., chairman of the board. Trustee Robert M. White II, member of the Class of 1933, announced a plaque soon will be erected at the building, constructed in 1901, in dedication ceremonies citing Colonel Stribling as an “inspiring classroom teacher; ac claimed national, state and local leader in civic affairs and educa tion; and successful businessman.” “But his most treasured reward,” White added, “has always come from molding boys into ever more highly-dedicated and accom plished M.M.A. cadets, gentlemen, and Americans.” Colonel Stribling came to M.M.A. in 1920 from his native Virginia, where he had served for three years on the faculty at Fishburne Military School after graduation from Washington and Lee University and a tour of duty as an officer in the U.S. Army. At Missouri Military he has been a teacher of English and French, athletic coach, professor of military science and tactics, assis tant commandant, and comman dant of cadets. In 1933 he became superintendent and president. In 1968 he was elevated to the position of chairman of the board as his son, Col. Charles Stribling III, a member of the Class of 1944, was named President. The honoree is past president of the Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the U.S., Missouri Chamber of Commerce, Independent School Association of

the Central States, Mexico Rotary Club, Mexico Chamber of Com merce, and Mexico Recreation Corporation. For 22 years he was chairman of the board of the Audrain Medical Center, which in 1971 named its extended care facility Stribling House in his honor. In 1963, he was one of 14 in the nation awarded the American Educators Medal by the Freedoms Foundation, Valley Forge, Penn sylvania, in recognition of his efforts as a founder of the Missouri Freedom Forum, now in its twen tieth year at M.M.A. In 1966, he was among three alumni tapped by Washington and Lee for membership in Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership fraternity. Inducted with him were Roger Mudd, NBC-TV broadcaster, and Governor Linwood Holton of Virginia. In his nationally-syndicated newspaper column, Dr. George Crane described the Colonel as “an articulate patriot ... a dynamic head who wields a very helpful influence in development of the personalities of hundreds of young men at his famous military academy.” Col. and Mrs. Stribling, the former Miss Ruth Cauthorn of Mexico, have been married for 58 years and have resided at 703 East Promenade for 46 years. In addition to their son, they have a daughter, Mrs. Robert J. (Suzanne) Koster of St. Louis; and three grandchildren, R. Stribling Koster, a student at the University of Virginia; Joseph Koster and Ann Koster, students at John Burroughs School in St. Louis.

Dedication Raymond West Superintendent of Maintenance

During the halftime ceremony at the Homecom ing game on Oct. 31, 1981, Mr. Raymond West, MMA superintendent of maintenance, (center)

received a plaque from Alumni Assoc. President Ray "Skip" Rixman, '55. To right is Mr. West's wife, Anna.

Alumni honor Mr. West Maintaining the buildings and the 288-acre campus at Missouri Military Academy has kept Raymond West quite busy for the past 42 years, the last eight as superintendent of maintenance. Mr. West was honored by the MMA Alumni Association for his services on Saturday, Oct. 31 at halftime of the Homecoming football game against Bowling Green. Besides caring for the buildings and grounds and monitoring the utilities, during the 42 years West has helped the cadets decorate for about 200 formal dances. “Once when decorating for a dance, they (cadets) were up walking the (gym) rafters putting up their lights. We made them come down until we could get a scaffolding free," he said. The gymnasium rafters, about 25 feet above the floor, have a foot-wide walking surface. Raymond West joined the mainten ance staff at MMA shortly after his graduation from Garfield High School at age 18 in 1939. While at Garfield he played football, lettering at guard for four years, and was

a member of the state championship team in 1939. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and rose to the rank of master sergeant. After the war he returned to MMA, where other family members also worked. Five other family members worked at the Academy also. These included his father, Fred West, assistant superinten dent of maintenance for 38 years; his brother Harold, and his cousins, Leon and Daniel, who worked in the mess hall; and “Uncle George" West, who fired the old coal boiler in “B“ Barracks a half century ago. Raymond West became assistant superintendent in 1966, and became superintendent of maintenance in 1974 upon the retirement of the late Russell Jerichow. West and his wife Anna have been married for 32 years and have three daughters. They are Mrs. Brenda Fergu son, Mrs. Gail Terry, and Mrs. Joanne Thomas, a member of the faculty at Mexico High School. 3

Year in Review A record enrollment of 330 cadets, the largest in 12 years, reported to MMA as the ninety-third school term opened Sept. 7-10. Cadets represented 28 states and a record 14 foreign countries. For more than 80 cadets, however, the school year began on Sept. 1. Members of the varsity football squad, Fusileers, drum corps, Color guard and leader designees returned for early train ing. Thirty-five of the group per formed and presented colors prior to the Missouri-Army football game Sept. 12 in Columbia. The drums, color guard and the defending national exhibition championship Fusileers drill team comprise the group Other appearances by this combined honor guard group with the full band included the Audrain Co.

Opening days show changes For cadets returning to classes, a renovated physics lab (A-14) was now in use. The facility contained 12 new work tables, new lights, walls and floors from funds provided by the Parents-Alumni Committee for Development. A new parking lot by Delta Co. and a completely repainted Junior School quarters were among other im provements of the summer maintenance work. Hannibal, a northeast Missouri rivertown rich in heritage, received field trip visits by two different MMA groups in October. The Junior School made an annual social studies field trip to the Mark Twain sights of the town, and the Marching Band attended the annual Mark Twain Band Festival held there. In another field trip, members of the MMA journalism class attended a year book seminar in Sedalia, Mo. in prepara tion for work on Taps 1982.

Visitors to campus Parents of MMA cadets pledged $32,575 toward nine progress projects at the school during the 34th annual Dad’s Weekend held Oct. 16-18. In the football game preceding the Satur day evening Dad’s Day Ball, the Colonels shut out Warren Co. 16-0. Homecoming, held Halloween weekend, saw several hundred alumni and family members come to the campus. Development activi ties also had a good day, as more contributions were made to “Excel lence in the Eighties — Phase II."

Fall sports successful Good spirits prevailed at the Fall Sports Banquet held Nov. 14. The cross country team finished 5-4 for their first winning season in MMA history. An even better year seemed to be ahead as only one of the top five runners was a senior. Varsity football finished 5-3 on the year for its best finish since 1976. MMA won the state military school title with a 21-14 win over Wentworth and a 39-0 win over Kemper in the Gold Football game. MMA got to keep the ball for the eleventh straight year. Also, senior Chris Knight made firstteam All-District at both end and cornerback. In intramurals, Echo Co. received honors for repeating as company football champs, and the Eagles won back the Junior School football crown from the Lions.

TV, economics seen MMA was featured in a seg ment on military schools which was aired on the Nov. 7 "Something More," a program of KOMU-TV in Columbia. Interviewer on the pro gram was Dean Davison, ’78, a former battalion commander who is finishing his broadcast journalism studies at University of Missouri. Coached by Capt. Sam Mounger, five cadets participated in the Quincy College Quiz Bowl program for the first time since 1977. The cadets lost to Macon (Mo.) High School, but gained valuable experience for the future. Besides television appear ances, the cadets had appearances on the stage as the Dramateers opened their season Nov. 21 with a pair of one-act plays. Selections were "The Elephan Man" and "It

Takes a Thief." Money became more than a classroom topic for the cadet seniors. For their first class activity of the year, they held a closeto-home senior informal dance at Mismilaca Lodge. Transporation was projected to be the major cost for longer out-of-town trips. Another look at money came during Col. Clyde Patterson’s economics class trip to the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis. Other seniors in Capt. Robert Stanhope’s class carried out a project involving some of the people who generated the money that went into the banks. With the help of the Mexico Area Chamber of Commerce, cadets interview local businessmen for an essay on their particular business.

The $2,800 set-up included a computer keyboard terminal, a floppy-disc drive unit, a NEC printer and a video display greenphosphorus monitor. Queenie III, a new dog mascot, arrived on campus via Lt. Col. Ron Charrier, courtesy of Mr. Ron Whittaker, Mexico science teacher. Queenie II, donated by Lt. Col. Bob Piper, had died of pneumonia over the holidays. Other events in January includ ed the Free Enterprise Mini-Forum and the arrival of the Board of Visitors on the last day of the month. Work on the first cadet volun tary identification cards was carried out by Cadets Frank Gruber and Borden S. Borden and the adminis trative secretaries.

Recipient of the MacArthur “Cadet of the Year” Award was Cadet Maj. Dave Steinmetz, the battalion commander. The award was presented by Mr. Robert White II, MMA ’33. He publishes the Mexico Ledger and is president of the MacArthur Memorial Foundation. A nine-year jinx ended for the Seniors on March 4. They finally beat the Faculty in the annual game between the two. The final score was 50-45. Varsity basketball seniors Dave Steinmetz and Todd Creviston split the coaching duties. Each played for a half and then switched to three-piece suits for duties from the bench. As a lunchtime visitor, head coach Jim Hanifan of the St. Louis Football Cardinals handled questions from the cadet corps. His advice to those who wished to play football beyond high school was to “Get the best darn education you can, and let the chips fall where they may.” For the first time since 1977, the Fusileers took the overall national championship at the National Invitational Drill Meet in Champaign, III. They also won their third straight exhibition championship.

Grant Maholland, a rising freshman, volunteered to lead the Memorial Day Parade in his home town of Auburn, III., the day after graduation.

Once AFI and Army Day were over, the school year seemed to sprint to a close. Banquets for numerous organ izations and activities on campus took place, and students prepared for final examinations. At the Spring Sports Banquet, 12 cadets were awarded the M-Club Medal for winning three varsity letters in one year. They were Laurence Bryan, Dave and Bob Steinmetz, Chris Knight, Steve Drone, Bill Pease, Gerardo Perez, Fred Perdomo, Alejandro Cortes, Carlos Escalante, Ely Vivas and Ken Varvil. Also, the undefeated golf team

preserved the white letter sweater on campus. Senior golfer Ed Trespalacios had the last one, ironically, from the 1979 tennis squad. During Graduation weekend, the final events of the school year took place. Battalion Commander Dave Steinmetz was named Valedictorian and won the Legion of Honor. He then turned the battalion over to Cadet Sgt. Maj. Mike Walker, Sarasota, Fla. The cadets also learned that their yearlong goal had been accomplished: MMA had won its twelfth honor rating with Distinction in 13 years.

ORGANIZATIONS

Time beyond the basics

Champions! Fusileers take Nationals trophy MMA’s Fusileers came away with a lot of booty from their April raid on the National Invitational Drill Meet. The Governor’s Trophy, signifying the overall championship for the Champaign, III., meet, came back to MMA for the first time since 1977. Previously, the Fusileers had won it in 1972 and 1976. A team which wins three straight years gets to keep it. Along with the most-coveted trophy, the platoon took a third consecutive championship in exhibition platoon drill and a second-place finish in platoon I DR competitions.

Most of the 80 teams entered in the invitational were college and university units. Fusileer squad members took third in exhibition, and several cadets finished high in individual tests. Fusileer Commander Fred Perdomo took first in the individual drill-down. “When I got out there I felt really tired; but when it got down to the last ten, I got a little extra boost,” he said. A pair of juniors took third in the duet exhibition for the Fusileers. Ray Sutton and Mike Walker, who had been practicing together for three months, took the award.

A year of firsts----------------------It was a year of firsts for the Fusileers, not all of them encouraging at first, noted Maj. Ken Mortenson. It was the first time the unit had reported early (for the Sept. 12, Missouri-Army halftime practice); the first time a sergeant rather than an officer had commanded the unit; and the first time he wondered if the unit had the experience to be champions. “I'm tickled pink that this team did what it did, because we surprised a lot of people," said the Major. But with a basically young group, he said the future

looked bright. Among cadets honored at the Fusileers Banquet on May 3, at Michelangelo's were Jose Andrade, Jim Arce, Bill Carmona, Eduardo DeLeon, Steve Drone, Bryant Engles, Rob Farnam, Gabriel Garcia, Miguel Hernandez, Carlos Herrero, Maurice Johnson, Emilio Lopez, Gerardo Perez, Carlos Pinto, Manuel Rechy, Luis Rivero, Ray Sutton, Brent Underwood, Ely Vivas, Mike Walker and Chris Wilson.

MMA’s marching musicians came away with the first-place trophy for medium-sized bands. "I’m very pleased and happy that we won it," said Lt. Col. Paul Cherches, music director. "Both the band and the Fusileers were gung-ho to go." The Fusileers received high tribute from the crowd. Junior Mike Walker received a noteworthy kiss from an enthusiastic young colleen along the route. Other band performances with the Fusileers included the Missouri-Army game, the Cardinal-Giant game in St. Louis, and the Missouri-Kansas State basketball game in Columbia.

Members of the print and broadcast activities comprise, front row from left: Scott Herndon, sports editor and announcer; Rich Compton, reporter; Eric Aronwitz, Taps layout and ad sales; Hugo Barenque,

reporter; Bill Everly, announcer and writer; Borden S. Borden, announcer and Taps business manager; Kurt Wiseheart, Eagle and Taps editor: Cy Pike, photographer; Phil Kahler, columnist; Bill Hankes, reporter and

future Taps editor; Jeff Kays, features and future Eagle editor; Braxton Pollard, news editor; Keith Kaae, chief photographer; Capt. John P. Orr, advisor for Taps, Eagle and radio-television.

Many new faces showed up in the MMA publications activities this year. With eight of 11 members graduated from the previous group, new members were welcome to the print and broadcast projects. Capt. John Orr, publications advisor, set out to both get the year’s work done and to prepare the young crew for future respon sibilities. Seven members of the journalism class attended the September yearbook seminar in Sedalia, Mo.,

to get the 1982 Taps on the road. In April, the entire class went to Fulton to see the Kingdom Daily Sun-Gazette newspaper operation that prints the Eagle. Also, a journalism group went to the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association awards day at the University of Missouri. The group included Kurt Wiseheart, Borden S. Borden, Hugo Barenque, Keith Kaae and Eric Aronowitz. While there, they learned that the Eagle had earned a first class rating in the

MIPA newspaper contest. “Balanced school coverage and good action photography” were listed as some of the paper’s strong points. Taps yearbook activity produced what would be another profit making year for the publication. In broadcast, weekly programs at KXEO radio and monthly cable TV programs kept the crew busy. They also learned that the TV studio would be moved to a new location next year.

I Former Battalion Adjutant, Ron Block, 77, was the guest speaker for the 1982 Publications Banquet held at Michelan gelo's. Col. Charles Stribling III, who was publications director before assuming the president’s chair, and Cadet Borden S. Borden listen to Block who told the assembled cadets to try journalism early.

At Ease Staff Literary Magazine staff for "At Ease" included Gus Waterhouse, left, George Satterfield and Bill Everly. Lt. Mark Behrendt watched over the three as advisor. Mrs. Brenda Rodenbaugh, not pictured, did the typing for the magazine.

Dramateers

Both actors and stage crew got a good workout with the Dramateers this year, as four distinctlydifferent plays made up their performance schedule. Besides the acting challenge, the stage crew saw many different scenery and lighting challenges in the course of the year. Capt. Robert Stanhope, drama coach, helped the group toward imaginative scenery and costuming. Opening one-act plays supplied the Dramateers with two varied scenes and moods. In “The Elephant Man,” concerning Englishman John Merrick and his genetic defect, scenery was secondary to the duet of Sheldon Smith and Scott Beebe as Dr. Treves. But in “It Takes a Thief,” the stage crew provided a brightly-painted Russian commissary. “Caine Mutiny Court Martial” gave the challenge of quick prop change from a naval court room to a hotel room as the scenes varied. Finally, the group ended with “The Refund,” a story about a down-and-out alumnus of a midwestern private prep school. The fellow, Blekinsop, returns and demands a refund of his tuition because he was not taught how to be successful. Stage crew, actors and audience enjoyed the satire.

Actors range from ‘Thief’ to ‘Mutiny’ ABOVE: All the world is a stage, so the Dramateers took the group onto front campus under the trees one afternoon.

Service Groups In the busy lifestyle of the MMA cadet, time is at a premium. Still cadets of the four service groups donated personal moments to help the cadet corps. Delta Phi, the scholastic honor society, helped tutor cadets who had trouble with studies. M-Club sponsored trips and activities for student athletes. Cadet Council helped the Admin istration keep the school running smoothly. And, the Military Police main tained order and served as ushers and guides at campus events.

Term papers were also emphasized on all levels of the course. Competitions in language skills provided some of the hottest intramural contests of the year, with Charlie Co. dominating spelling and Delta Co. doing the same in public speaking. Charlie Co. freshman Bill Fasick pencils out a word enroute to his victory in the spelling contest in which he edged his floor commander, Phil Kahler. Both cadets are from Manchester, Mo. Senior Steve Drone holds the mike. Charlie Co. also won the team spelling competition and plaque.

Capt. Sam Mounger He chaired the English Department and taught senior and senior honors English. He was also Delta Co. counselor and taught Red Cross Lifesav ing classes.

Maj. William Bryan He taught junior honors and sophomore English, and served as Alpha Co. counselor. He coached their company football team and also assisted in varsity baseball. His son Laur ence is an Alpha sophomore.

Lt. Mark Behrendt He had a busy first year at MMA. He taught sophomore and junior honors English, and English as a second language. He also taught swimming and Red Cross Lifesaving with Capt. Mounger, and coached the Alpha Co. basketball team. In his spare time, he put together the At Ease literary magazine. But this would be his only year here. He married a woman Presbyterian minister, and the two moved to Virginia where he would enter divinity school.

Capt. Walt Webber He taught freshman and freshman honors English. On the athletic field, he was line coach for varsity football and head coach for varsity wres tling.

Librarians provided research materials Mrs. Nancy Archer This was her first year as assistant librarian. She often supervised the library at night, and filled in for Mrs. Hamilton when needed.

Mrs. Marilyn Hamilton As head librarian, she man aged the 7,000-plus volumes and the 325 cadets using them.

Although entirely separate from the English Department, the Library provided the materials which enhanced the teaching efforts of English and all other departments. Cadets flooded the library daily to do research for term papers, and to keep up on their favorite periodicals. Also, the Library sponsored a spring Book Fair. Cadets were able to visit the Library and order from a wide selection of paperback books. Books arrived in two to three weeks.

Mathematics Numbers courses made to serve all cadets Mathematics courses play a big part in the MMA academic scene as each cadet needed three courses as a minimum. The courses covered the needs of all types of cadets, from those hoping to be engineers or scientists to those taking it as a general requirement. Many seniors opted for a fourth course to prepare them for college, even if they did not plan on engineering or related fields. The computer system was improved, with both mathematical and non-numerical functions being stressed.

RIGHT: Using the new Apple computer, Doug Phillips works out a program as Dave Steinmetz watches.

Lt. Col. Ron Chartier He taught the honors section of freshman algebra. His exper ience as a pitot brought many real-life examples of mathema tics uses to his students.

Science Lectures led to

hands-on labs Laboratory science facilities expanded this past school year with the opening of the refurnished physics laboratory in A-14. The facility contained 12 new work tables, new lights, walls and flooring for the use by the physics and physical science classes. After lectures and readings in their science work, the cadets turned to laboratory experiments to test the tenets of the course. Advanced biology under Capt. Ron Rosendahl went to outside labs also. The class donated blood in January and planted a vegetable garden in the spring. Guest lecturers came also for the classes, including Dr. Bill Clark from the Central Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis, who talked to Mrs. Powers’ classes.

Mrs. Mary Powers She taught three sections of sophomore biology. She planned to expand into chemistry and mathematics, and received two scholarships to help with it. One was an MMA faculty fellowship, and the other was the Business & Profession al Women's Mature Woman Scholarship.

Social Studies Classes tie past to present World history, American history, geography and government/economics—all these courses helped students link the lessons of the past to the problems of the present. Seven seniors attended the Presidential Class room in Washington. Seniors visited the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis as an honors economics project in Col. Clyde Patterson’s half of the class. A big honor came to Capt. Tim Daniel. He was awarded a John Robertson Coe Fellowship in American History. The summer fellowship at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif, included a $1,000 stipend.

Modern Language Even English

can be foreign MMA prided itself on the international scope of the enrollment. So, for about one-fifth of the student body, English was a foreign language. One of the Academy's husband-wife teaching duets worked together in this instruction. Capt. Paul Baum, MMA, 62, and his wife Consuelo, both worked with the English as a Second Language Students during the year. Capt. Bob Fedora also had two sections and Lt. Mark Behrendt handled the advanced class. A highlight each year for the foreign cadets was the International Banquet. At the dinner, held at the Knights of Columbus Hall, the winners of the Lamm Plaque were announced. Joint winners this year were Hector Fernandez and Juan Garcia.

Top cadets joined Spanish society For the majority of cadets, Spanish remained the foreign language. But MMA provided a good environment in which to learn it. Top students in the Spanish classes taught by Capt. Baum were eligible for the national Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica. These top cadets attended the annual society banquet at Picador Restaurant and were initiated into the society. For guest speaker, the group heard junior Cadet Rafael Umana, El Salvador, talk en Espahol about his homeland. 43

Electives Students learned personal interests Although MMA stresses a traditional education, cadets had several chances to enroll in specialized courses in the arts and crafts. Col. Bob Johnson’s business education courses offered instruction in typing and other practical business skills. In journalism, students combined language and artistry in producing the Eagle newspaper, the Taps yearbook and the radio and television programs. In music, both band and chorus offered chances for the students to be creative. And engineering drawing gave students basic skills in graphic arts. Lt. Col. Paul Cherches leads the combined students and faculty in singing "Old MMA" at the opening assembly in September. He directed the band and gave private music lessons to both upper and Junior Schoo! students.

Montgomery Co. 24, MMA 0 Facing the 2-0 defending East Missouri cham pions, the Colonels came away with an instructive loss to the Wildcats. A long-absent Colonel passing attack flickered, as wingback Dave Steinmetz caught 4 for 34 yds. MMA 16, Van-Far 14 The Colonels struck with a bang. Bob Steinmetz threw a 67-yd. scoring pass to Chris Knight on the game’s first play: he also caught one for 42 yd. score in the third. Chris Vandenburg added a safety for the tough defense; both Indian scores were set up by fumbles. MMA had 9 of 13 for 220 yds. passing on the day. MMA 25, MSD 7 Cold hands got both teams to a slow start in Fulton, but a pair of Carlos Escalante touchdown runs put MMA on top to stay. Bob Steinmetz finished the scoring in the final quarter, throwing a short pass to Knight and running one in from three yards out. A stripped fumble with a minute left gave the Eagles their score. Westran 6, MMA 0 The host Hornets used a pair of fourth-quarter quick kicks to hold the Colonels at bay in the mud-bath.

Harriers hit winner The 1981 cross country team, 5-4, found its first winning season ever since the sport came to MMA in 1975. Coached by Capt. Tim Daniel, the Cross Country team went through rigorous training. They got up at 5:00 in the morning three times a week to run four miles. Then they ran five miles a day in regular practice to prepare for a two-to-three mile event. The Colonels lost to Monroe City in their first meet but beat them in other meets throughout the season. The Junior Varsity team was 1-1. Gerardo Perez recorded the best Colonel time with 13:31 over the 2.2-mile MMA course. "We will have lots of returning people. We’ll be able to pick up right where we left off," said the coach at the end of the season.

Top Defense! MMA leads state 3A during 11-4 season MMA emerged from a torrid 11-4 basketball season as the leading defensive unit in Missouri Class 3A with a yield of only 40.5 points a game. Also, it was the basketball Colonels first winning campaign since 1962-63, and the best record at least since World War II. It was the team emphasis that carried them through the year. At the end, the Most-Valuable Player Award was shared among all eight regulars on the squad. "It was a result of everybody learning his place on the team, and getting the ball to the man with the hot hand, which was usually Chris Knight," noted Coach Steinmetz. Knight made All-District second team. Complementing Knight were lethal break-away guards Dave Steinmetz and Steve Drone; Dario Gais and his fade-away jumper; plus big oak tree Carlos Escalante and long shooter Todd Creviston; and next year’s co-captains, Luis Rivero and Bob Steinmetz. 58

Junior Varsity played tough also Many just a step away from varsity action, the Colonel JV players battled their way to an 8-4 record. Like the varsity, they prided themselves on defense: 10 oppon ents scored less than 30 points. Leading scorer honors shifted among the trio of Luis Rivero, Ray Sutton and Mike Lybarger. Rivero played some with the varsity from after Christmas onward, and the other two saw action in district play.

The swimmers made such a big splash on their way to a 7-2 record that even the coach got in on it. After the team’s upset win over two Springfield schools, Capt. Ron Rosendahl paid off a bet to his squad by taking a plunge off the high dive. "I told them I would jump off the high board in full uniform if they beat both schools- and they beat them" recalled Coach Rosendahl. Along with the Colonels’ prowess came domina tion of the Tri-Military meet. It was MMA's turn to procure the medals. They took 34 to Lexington and came back with 26. Sophomore Chris Linek broke the school diving record three times. The old record, 173.5, was set by Chris Smith in 1961, also against Wentworth. His final score of 200.6 was high enough for state, but his degrees of difficulty only totaled 11 instead of the required 12. Free-styler Dan Smith came within .5 second of the 50-m. state qualifying time of 27.2. He received the Green-Schmoller Trophy at the sports banquet. Co-captains elected for next year were Frank Gruber and Ernest Krogh-Hansen. Retiring co-captains Phil Darling and David Stone received the Fulkes Trophy.

Wrestlers go basic under new coaches Takedowns and escapes became the emphasis of the mat Colonels under new head coach Capt. Walt Webber and assistant Capt. John Orr. "We want you all to get out there and do something, not dance around," Coach Webber told them early in the year. The challenge, said the coaches, was to form the younger cadets into good basic wrestlers and still help the veterans with advanced moves. An improved 4-8 record resulted, and the Colonels took the Tri-Military championship again. Also, the depth of the MMA line-up allowed the team to fill all 13 weight classes in every single varsity match. Eight wrestlers went to district, and six made it to the semi-finals. Best regular-season records were Bill Pease and Tim Brown at 10-2, and Cy Pike at 9-3. Pike was offered a wrestling scholarship to Central Missouri State. Pike and Brown shared the Keaton Wrestling Trophy, and freshman Jim Human, heavyweight, won the Arbogast Trophy for best first-year wrestler. Brown and Pease were elected co-captains for next year, Pease for the third time.

Shooters reap trophy harvest After a slow start, the Colonel rifle team accelerated to trophy-heavy year. Leaving for Christmas with an 0-2 record, they won all four matches after the holidays and came away with a large batch of trophies. Tri-Military first place went to MMA for the third straight year. Scott Farren had 512, Jeff Ryle 498, Bryant Engles 494, Bob Gross 483 and Alan Clark 482. In the NRA Sectionals, Jeff Ryle finished second in ROTC with 496 out of 600.

MMA proved to be a hitters’ballclub during the 4-3 regular season. The Colonels outscored the opposition 49-37 overall, and had three All-District mentions. The District game, however, turned out to be an extra-inning pitching duel. MMA lost in the ninth to Blair Oaks on a triple which made the score 2-1. Both pitchers, including Ahistrand, went the distance. Both of Dean Ahistrand’s losses were grueling one-run affairs. Among his four victories was a no-hitter against Wellsville. “He gets two strikes on the hitters, and then he toys with them,” said Capt. Ron Rosendahl, head coach. Ahistrand planned baseball after MMA. The first Wellsville game proved memorable also. It was snowed out. The season went short for Dario Gais. The shortstop broke his ankle sliding into second against Mexico. He had hit a home run the innning before. MMA dedicated its last game against Montgomery City to Gais and won it 7-1. Hottest hitter of the year was Luis Rivero. He was batting 1.000 until the third game of the season. He was elected co-captain for next year along with catcher Bob Steinmetz. Retiring co-captains were Dave Steinmetz and Steve Drone.

Near-perfect track: distance makes base Only the final relay at Van-Far kept the track Colonels from an undefeated season and the white letter sweater which such teams rate to wear. But the successful 8-1 year based its power on activities well before the season began. Distance events provided the team power, and the Early Bird Running Club orgainzed by Capt. Tim Daniel got it started. He and cadet volunteers arose at 5 a.m. for conditioning runs through back campus. Freshman Kurt Schleyhan, undefeated in the 3200-m. run, won the Lee Kelce Trophy for the year. Other distance stalwarts included co-captain Leo Rosado in the 400-m., Enrique Mondragon in the 800-m. and Peter Portilla in the 1600-m. runs. The second meet against Wentworth at Lexington literally went to the wire. The meet lead changed seven times, twice in the final race. Wentworth runner Dan Griebel passed Enrique Mondragon on the last curve of the 1600-m. run, but Mondragon repassed him with 20 meters to go for the win. In the Tri-Military Meet, MMA took 12 of 17 firsts to win with ease. TOP: Freshman sensation Kurt Schleyhan crosses the finish line at MSD with another win in the 3200-m. run.

Tennis Colonels take District Second No seniors played on the squad, but the young tennis group came on strong during the season. After an opening loss to Mexico, the squad reeled off five straight wins, including a 9-0 shutout of Fulton. The Tri-Military Meet was rained out for the year, so the Colonel netmen concentrated on District play and took second at Boonville. A coin toss decided the No. 1 singles seeding. Marshall’s John Hartung won the toss, but MMA’s Mike Lybarger won the championship match 6-2,6-3. Final score team for District was Marshall 6, MMA 4, Boonville 2, Helias 2, Fulton 0, Kemper 0. MMA had a push on first for a while. Singles man Gerardo Perez opened with a win over Fulton but lost in three sets to Marshall. Frank Gruber and Pancho Aldrete had their doubles opposition down 5-2 in the third set before losing 5-7. With all district starters returning. Coach Steinmetz felt the group had good seasons on tap. “We’ll get them next year. All these guys are coming back, and we’ll probably get some more, too," he said.

It took a trip to the state tournament to break the 24-victory singles chain of Colonel junior Mike Lybarger. The chain extended over two seasons for the Belleville, III., native. Lybarger dropped a grueling two-hour, 20-minute match to John Claudius of St. Mary’s-lndependence in the first round. Lybarger had got to state by winning first in the Boonville District Tournament, beating all opponents in straight sets. As a sophomore, he had made it to the state quarterfinals with doubles partner Carlos Suarez.

Golf goes undefeated! MMA's golf team went undefeated for the regular season, but not without some close calls along the way. MMA jumped off for seven straight wins before the first close call in a home quad against Centralia and sand-green specialists Mark Twain and Monroe City. A four-foot downhill birdie putt by freshman Brad Robbins on the par 5 No. 9 hole gave him medalist with 39 and helped MMA to a two-stroke win. Cross-town rival Mexico then tied the Colonels two days before Tri-Military. Two days later, the Colonels again snatched a pressure victory, beating Wentworth by two for the military crown. MMA came within three strokes of qualifying for state at the District tournament May 10 in Kirksville. Final score was Kirksville 314, Moberly 337 and MMA 340, leading 14 teams. Escalante finished third with 79. The undefeated year ensured another group of white letter sweaters on campus.

Carlos Escalante crushes a drive on No. 7. His drives generally went long and straight, putting him in good position for approach.

The 180-pound senior was the lightest man in the heavyweight class. He faced the 255-pound Carlos Escalante, the biggest man in the battalion. Pike won. And then there was an old story. Cadet Victorio Gonzalez, who won the Gallagher last year, won his two weight classes this year.

Kah’ was a very active cadet in Charlie Co. But he had some trouble with some new recruits and privates and he had a very short temper. What happened between the two is history. Jose was a floor commander for Charlie Co.

Jose Luis Arevalo Stronzo: When I first came here I was really scared, since I did not know English. I think the Academy really helped me find the right way of life, but everybody else seems to disagree with me. Why? My favorite sport at MMA was golf, and English was my favorite class. I disliked drill during Saturdays and tours most of all.

was mostly known because of his drawings and his wild ideas. He helped sketch and paint the MMA shield in the school’s Natatorium his junior year. Even though some of the faculty officers said he was a good boy, he couldn’t keep himself out of trouble - it was because of those wild ideas.

Jeffrey Carl Chavis Bro had one thing that he really liked about MMA, and that was the unique heating schedule of his company, Delta. After all, it's not everyone who enjoys sleeping through sub-zero temperatures to wake up to unbearably hot condi tions. The leadership of Delta admired him for his hard work and perfectly glassed shoes (tomor row).

Dario accomplished a lot in his three years at MMA. He was a leader in the Venezuelan delega tion, and he enjoyed sports most of all. He won many awards on both the varsity and intramural level, but broke his ankle his senior year sliding into second in the Mexico baseball game. Also, he was probably the only company football player to ever kick a successful extra point.

Gabriel Gerardo Garcia Batarse Platano was here for quite a few reasons; two of them were the Fusileers drill team, and the other was the band. He enjoyed varsity sports, and his favorite one was track. Gabriel was a two-year cadet, both of them lived in Charlie Co. His first year all Charlie Co. members were proud of their company because it made Honor Company in 1981. His only real problem at MMA was deciding who should clean the room.

Hector Victorio Gonzalez Esquivel Toyito’s hobbies were sport cars, karate and getting a suntan. His future plans for college were to study economics and earn a master’s degree in finances and political science from Harvard and Stanford. After school he planned to be a Politician in Mexico.

“Golden Fingers’’ earned his nickname two ways. One of which was from Col. McClure for his outstanding receiving ability in football. The other was for his tremendous progress down in Texas. Everyone always gave him a hard time just because he was from the best state in the U.S. Because of this, Astroboy said he was ten percent better than anyone else. In his two years at MMA, Chris made a lot of friends and gained a couple more loving mothers as like the one he has.

Kenneth Daryl Lockshaw Chiquitin felt his four years stay at MMA was something unexplain able. He had a lot of fun, when he didn’t have to abide by the rules. The only major problems he found here were that there was no beach and, of course, no women (to speak of). Other than that he had a good time, although he was glad to graduate.

Market was here for only two years, but he definitely made the most of them. He worked very hard for what he wanted; he dedicated his first year mostly to improving his English and himself. Sports were his main recrea tion activity here at MMA. He was well-known among the cadet corps and made many friends. He believed that MMA had made a better person out of him.

Mitchell William Moffitt Hick spent most of his glorious two years at MMA flirting with the female staff and messing around with people’s minds. He enjoyed making many friends and a few enemies. Hick would like to leave his friends with some helpful advice: Act insane and you won’t go insane. Act sane and you will go insane. “By Y’all. See you on Homecoming.”

Moraloide: When he first came to MMA, he thought he was going to like it, but when it came to marching, tours study halls and others, he began to realize that it wasn’t fun, that they were serious, that they meant business. But in his two years he learned much disci pline and much responsibility, and most important how to make friends.

Juan Carlos Ortega Prados Juan was a two-year cadet who came to MMA to learn English. But he said he learned even more valuable things, too. Juan took flying lessons his junior and senior years. If you saw a plane flying upside down over Mexico, you knew it was him. He planned to major in busi ness in college. The pilot’s license will make it possible for him to fly to neighboring towns on business; driving takes too long.

Oscar Parodi Peruvian was a cadet at MMA for two years. When Oscaroni Parodi Riverduchi was came from Peru, he was one of the better soccer players on his team; but when he came here there wasn’t any varsity soccer. That was bad news, but he

recovered. At MMA he really enjoyed himself. He learned a lot, for example: English, how to shine shoes, stand up and shut up. Oscar would like everyone to remember him as a friend, and a graduate of ’82.

Cacheton was a really calm guy; he never got into fights until somebody messed with him and PUN! that was it! He also liked it when there was something going on and he always tried to break it off, but he always got involved and got caught. He always tried hard in sports, even though he was the best. The people used to love him for his sense of humor.

Pedro Francisco Juan Portilia Bidault Pedrillo was a two-year cadet, and he really made progress in them. At MMA, he learned a lot of things such as discipline, organiza tion and English. His first year he had many problems, but his second year he knew how to do his best. He will always remember MMA and what he found.

Manuel Octavio Rechy Pochi was always trouble when combined with Lalillo, Rizito and Cantinero. They all lived at Delta Company and had very good times, even though they often got angry with each other. But Rechy said it was really nice having that bunch of friends. But, did Rechy really serve as model for the Little Fusileer statue?

Regaldo was a two-year cadet. He never thought that he would learn the many things that he did. He had a lot of friends, especially in Echo Co. where he lived. His favorite subjects were College Prep Math and General Business. His biggest goal was to be in the International Color Guard, and he made it. He carried the Mexican flag in several reviews.

Leandro Guillermo Rosado Leo learned to get the most out of his floor commanders in Echo Co. He had a busy senior year, but still managed to have a good time. His easy chair was the envy of everyone on campus, including the AFI team. He kept his grades up and his posters straight. Also, he put together some top sounds for the mixers, and still found time to go to the Presidential Classroom.

Jeffrey Allan Ryle Rebel served three hard and tedious tours at MMA, which he always compared to Vietnam. His high points came when he could play tricks on the unsuspect ing. He really found a fun and exciting new pastime of agitating Corky and his bunkie Porky. Take it easy, Skimpy D.

Jorge lived in Alpha Company during his two-year stay at MMA. He was known throughout the barracks as a friendly, easy-going and just all-round great person. His pastimes activities consisted of listening to rock albums, sleeping, and an occasional wrestling match, which usually resulted in a disaster (for the room.) George liked to practice his Spanish in the barracks with the Latin-American cadets; however, he still does not know how to roll his “R’s.”

George planned to continue Spanish in college and will study international studies. He also plans to pick up his social life after MMA.

Big Sheldon never got used to being a pedestrian during his time here at MMA. He missed his car, a semi-classic coupe left back in Peoria. His father had gone through the Academy also, but Sheldon never talked about it much. Drama was one of his sidelines. One of his top roles was that of John Merrick, the “Elephant Man," performed with Delta compadre Orville as the Doctor.

Bombillo thanked MMA for help ing him on many things and for teaching him to value what his parents had done for him. He left many friends behind, but they will always be in his heart and mind.

Eduardo Trespalacios Lozano Lalito Trespo was a five-year cadet at MMA. His goal was tours, followed by graduation. He would wait for his little friend Carlitos; he then went down to Hardee’s and bought Carlitos about six hamburgers. Lalito lived one year in “B” Barracks and three in Alpha Co., and his senior year he lived in Delta. Also, he earned two white letter sweaters as a member of the

Kenneth Wayne Varvil K-SHE Ken was a fully-dedicated member of the “Cool Clan.” When he got together with the CC, their mission was to terrorize the higher-ranking people. On his furlough time, Ken loved to chase women, party and have a good time. He felt his two years at MMA were more than enough, but very rewarding nonetheless.

He could always be found sneakin’ through the bush back-campus with other “Mercs” looking for something to kill or maim. He was so enthusiastic about the military for some reason, that he joined the infantry for four years; 122

Alpha turns snappy year Members of the Alpha Co. Green Wave grabbed several honors in a highly competitive year. The company won both the Plaque for Neatest Quarters and the Wiles Trophy for Best Company Spirit. Individually, cadets took honors also. Company Commander Todd Creviston won the Plaque for Best Performance by a Company Commander, and junior Mike Walker was designated as Battalion Commander for the following year. Things were lively for the staff and adviser because of the irrepressible Cool Clan, but everyone enjoyed themselves while still accomplishing a lot.

It was also a year of change for the ROTC staff as five-year veteran SFC Nick Day got his orders for the Berlin Brigade in Germany. His replacement was SFC Ronald Ray, an infantry NCO with a varied background. Among the ROTC activities were mapreading and compass, drill, military history, and many of the skills needed to prepare for the Annual Federal Inspection.

MM A impresses AFI group The quest to regain the Gold Star and its glory had been a major goal of the cadet corps since September. When the Annual Federal Inspection came on April 30, the inspection team from the 2nd ROTC Region complimented the cadets on their efforts. In Echo Co., inspection team head Col. Donald Smith said Cadets Scott Riech and J.R. Sell had the best boots he had ever seen. The cadets did not learn the results of the AFI until the day before graduation. But when they did, they were ready with gold stars. Getting ready ahead of time was the goal of this year’s preparation. “The preparation was harder than the inspection,” noted first-year Cadet Matt Vis.

Brigadiers perform at Hearnes Bravo Co.'s drill platoon the Brigadiers performed a basketball halftime at University of Missouri on Feb. 12. In the contest, the Mizzou Lady Tigers downed the St. Louis University women. Cadet Doug Chapman led the Brigadiers onto the floor of the Hearnes Center for the performance. Directed by Lt. Col.
