Dad’s Weekend was MMA’s first visitor’s weekend. Many of the parents and guests present noticed a change in the cadets. They were no longer a group of individuals, they were a corps.

Graduation was an end and a new beginning for the graduates. It was hard, too, saying good-bye to friends, with whom so much had been shared.

Homecoming brought the MMA family together for its annual reunion. It was a time for recollections and meeting the present cadets.

The M.P.s directed traffic in all weather during registration, below. Once settled into the barracks, there was time to get out and explore the campus, to find one's way around, right. Of course a mandatory stop on the registration trait was at the barber shop, the domain of Mr. Ron Dick, far right. Chad Theofanopoulos is getting his first MAA trim.

Registration builds a battalion It started early on the morning of Sept. 6, — registration. Parents and sons, bags and baggage — registra tion. Bus rides, car rides, airplane rides, all focusing on one place, the Missouri Military Academy — regis tration. Registration for the 94th year took 320 boys and settled them into the beginning of a corps in four days. New international cadets arrived Sept. 6. The rest of the high school cadets registered Sept. 7. New Junior School cadets arrived Sept. 8, and the rest of Bravo Company moved in on

Sept. 9. Regardless of when they arrived, the route for all cadets was the same. They checked in at Stribling Hall and were introduced to their cadet guides, who would take them through the registration maze. The second stop was for a visit with Col. Charles Stribling III, president. The vice president, Col. Clyde Patterson, Jr., was the next stop, and then it was off to Lt. Col. Ronald Charrier, the commandant, to pick up the room assignment. Bags and baggage were deposited

in the rooms before the registration trail continued. The director of studies had class assignments and the director of guidance had college questionaires to be filled out. Parents rested and visited in the student center while cadets were remanded to the quartermaster. Tapemeasures circled the cadets like ivy, necks, waists, arms, legs. Shirts were held to shoulders and pants were pulled on and marked. The barber got them next. Sun-bleached hair piled up on the floor. The cadets exited dark headed, and new tan lines were visible.

All activity stopped each day around noon for a delicious, filling buffet lunch. Registration flowed smoothly. There were no long lines at any of the stops. The only inconvenience was that it rained Wednesday. As each day of registration passed, the new cadets slowly learned their way around campus. With newly made friends, they learned what the braincord, Fusileers, drill, tours and rear were. The 320 individuals slowly became a corps. On Friday, Sept. 10, the cadets

learned more, where their classes were, and who their teachers would be. Books, with virgin-white paper and smelling of ink, were cracked for the first time. Assignment sheets were examined and studying begun. School had started. Old cadets noticed changes. There were five new teachers on campus, Lt. Richard Twells in English, Capt. Mike Brewer, director of guidance and social studies, Lt. Kevin Shaddox, social studies and a Delta Company resident, Lt. Scott Spangler, director of information and

journalism, Mrs. Joan Mills, vocal music. The Junior School had a new 2,400-square-foot addition to its academic building. The barrack’s interiors had been painted, and Charlie and Delta Companies had new desks, bookshelves and study lights in the rooms. Maj. Ray Campbell’s classroom was filled with computers. After a week, the barracks became companies, and the companies became a battalion, the NMA corps of cadets for 1982-83.

W." The more than 1,000 visitors, dads, moms, sisters, brothers, and other family members and guests noticed the changes and had a chance to visit with their cadets before the weekends activities began. First on the agenda was an autumn favorite — football. The visitors had three to choose from. The Junior School Lions and Eagles and Alpha’s Greenwave and Echo's Gol den Warriors played Friday. Both the Eagles and the Greenwave were

victorious. For those not particularly interested in the gridiron, MMA's cross country Colonels hosted Cen tralia. MM A defeated them, too. The big game of the weekend was the gridiron battle between the Colonels and Wentworth Military Academy. The Colonels won, 14-0. Later in the weekend, there was another battle of sorts on Colonels Field — competitive drills. Divided into groups of old and new cadets, the Junior and high school cadets concen

trated on the commands and the precise handling of body and rifle. The single-file line of serious faces faced the stands but did not see the people in them. Judges from the military department roamed from one end of the line to the other, watching. With a tap on the shoulder, it was over for all but one from each line. Trino Fitzmaurice was the bestdrilled new high school cadet. Doug Chapman was the old. David Kionka took the new cadet honors in the

Junior School. Hans Krogh-Hansen took the old. During all the activity, there was a picnic lunch on front campus. The cadets and guests were served by the faculty. Parents and faculty met at various times during the weekend. Conferences were held on the cadets academic progress, problems and achievements. And there were tours, guided by cadets, of the barracks,

Mike Menneke. During the picnic lunch on front campus, faculty members served all comers. Mrs. Marilyn Hamilton, librarian, poured the soft drinks.

“This is where I live, Dad, and this is my roommate.” Parents met with the ParentsAlumni Development Committee Saturday, and 55 of them, and alumnus, pledged $46,625 towards the completion of 11 progress projects. The projects included such things as expansion of the music building, a new school vehicle, Junior School library supplies and books, barracks amenities and academic enrichment.

Thirty-five parents were honored during the convocation for their philanthropy during 1981-82. Three were named to the President’s Society, 11 to the Colonels Club and 21 as Honor Donors. The weekend concluded with a dress review, at which 22 cadets were awarded the Academic Achievement Wreath for having distinguished themselves in ROTC studies during 1981-82.

Charlie Company won the barracks decorating contest with their "Blow away the Bobcats" motif, below. At right, two former MMA drummers do it again at Homecoming.

MMA family reunites at The corps of cadets got involved in the weekend by decorating the barracks for the annual judging. Charlies, with its “Blow Away the Bobcats,” won first prize with its elaborate decora tions, which included a duceand-a-half truck and M-60 machine gun. The alumni and cadets also had

a bit of friendly competition. The alumni drill winners, Oscar Prieto, ’77, and Richard Hall, ’72, went against the five best-drilled cadets from Dad’s Weekend. Prieto won the sweepstakes drill. Cadet Mike Bishop placed second. The only mark against Homecoming was the Colonels — Bowling

Green Bobcats football game. The Colonels lost 20-0. During the Homecoming Review, the cadet corps, alumni and guests paid silent tribute to Lt. Col. Eugene Lamm and Maj. William Bryan, faculty members who died during the month of October. The alumni trooped the line at

An entertaining part of Homecoming was the Alumni Drill, left. Below, the members of the Class of 1932, from left: Richard O. Rohwedder, Louis Moran, Ed McNally and Frank Hearne, present a class portrait to Col. C.R. SribUng Jr., chairman of the board. Col. Stribling was commandant during the class's cadet days.

Homecoming 1982 the review. The Class of 1932, which was holding 1st 50th reunion, present ed a class portrait to Col. C.R. Stribling Jr., chairman of the board, who was commandant of cadets during their student days. At the Alumni Association meet ing, Kent Yoest, ’70, was elected president for 1982-83 and installed at

the dinner-dance at the Saturday evening. Two bequests to the Academy, totaling more than $1 million were announced during Homecoming. Both came from members of the class of 1957. One has included MAA in his will for $200,000 to be used for an athletic building or permanent athle-

tic equipment. The second has named MMA to receive an amount presently estimated at $850,000 for building or endowment. Col. Stribling said the two bequests are the largest ever recorded by MMA. “We are deeply grateful for these evidences of appreciation for the Academy’s program and traditions.”

Academics & Administration

Though academics and administration are separate functions at MMA, they really are connected, as the Academic Building, right, and Stribling Hall seem to be in the above picture. The two work synergistically, academics giving MMA purpose and administration making the purpose possible.

Col. Charles Stribling III handles the day-to-day operation of MMA. His days are full, but he always has time for the cadets. Above, he talks to Cadets Fernando Lopez, left, and Aquiles Rodriguez. Col. Stribling, MMA '44, is in his 14th year as president, and he sponsors the Cadet Council. t. Col. C. R. Stribling, Jr., below, has been associated witt] MMA for 64 years. An involved civic and educational leader, he takds time here to be guest speaker in Col. Patterson's economics class. Col. Clyde Patterson, Jr., left, is in his fifth year as vice president. His primary job is the maintenance and improvement of MMA s physical plant. He also teaches senior honors government and economics. He is retired from the U.S. Army.

Col. Clyde Patterson Jr.

Administration

is paperwork, accounting, planning. It is the nerve center of MMA. Headed by Col. C. R. Stribling Jr., chairman of the board, Col. Charles Stribling III, president, and Col. Clyde Patterson Jr., vice president, it coordinates all facets of MMA activity, admissions, academics, development, counseling, public relations, medical services and maintenance.

Lt. Col. Ron Charrier, commandant, above, and his assistant, Capt. Bob Samples, MMA '55, spend the majority of their days looking after the welfare and discipline of the cadets. Here, Lt. Col. Charrier chats with Scott Thompson, left, and Shawn Williams. A retired Air Force officer, he also teaches freshman algebra. Capt. Samples, retired U.S. Army, teaches a military leadership class. The primary duties of Maj. Ron Kelly, admissions officer, is to get the boys into school. He and his assistants, Lt. Col. Paul Cherches, w ho also is MMA's music director, and Maj. Bob Westlake, who joined MMA in mid-year, spend much of their time on the phone or on the road. The director of studies office is a busy one. Maj. Ed Morris, aside from plotting academic courses for cadets, teaches world history and shepherds the faculty. His secretary, Mrs. Carla Hobbs, assists him ably, handling the majority of the paperwork.

Three departments closely associated with the cadets are admissions, the director of studies and the commandants office. Admissions, under Maj. Ron Kelly, helps build the corps. The director of studies, Maj. Ed Morris, helps cadets set their academic courses. And the commandant, Lt. Col. Ronald Charrier, assists the cadets in their everyday life.

MMA’s PX. Headed by Lt. Col. Orrval Maupin, the cadets can find most of what they need there, from uniform articles to notebooks, pens, and toothpaste. The mail and laundry also pass through the QM, as it is called. In the tailor shop, seamstresses Ms. Nanie Blue and Terry Bishop, keep the cadets looking at their finest.

Mrs. Joy Wimmer, above, works with one of her Junior School students, Cadet Tom Dowler. Helping students build strength in all academic disciplines, she often uses one of MMA's computers in her classes. Capt. Mike Brewer, right, discusses some preliminary college plans with Cadet Rodolfo Canamar and his parents during registration. Capt. Brewer also teaches social studies, and he coaches company sports.

Guidance

and counseling comprises two parts, the director of guidance, Capt. Mike Brewer, and the learning development center, which is the domain of Mrs. Joy Wimmer. Capt. Brewer helps cadets attain their ultimate goal, which for most, is acceptance by a college. Mrs. Wimmer also helps them reach this goal by strengthening academic weaknesses.

Capt. Sam Mounger takes his class to Italy via Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." In addition to the regular English classes, the department offers trimester-long mini-courses on such subjects as mythology and short stories.

Mrs. Sharon Estes works here with her sophomore class on English's bedrock, grammar and vocabulary. With this strong foundation, cadets can progress to literature and advanced composition.

English is the basis of all learning. Without a good understanding of its workings, we cannot communicate. Perhaps that’s why the English department, headed by Capt. Sam Mounger, is one of the largest at MMA. Along with Capt. Walt Webber, Lt. Richard Twells, and Mrs. Sharon Estes, Capt. Mounger and his department take cadets from basic grammar to literature.

Language

classes at MMA teach cadets a language foreign to them, French, Spanish, Latin and English. To many international students, English is a foreign language. Capt. Bob Fedora teaches French and Latin, and English as a second language. Capt. Paul Baum and Mrs. Consuelo Baum also teach ESL. Capt. Baum also teaches Spanish, sponsors the Spanish Honor Society, and is international student advisor.

Science at MMA means biology, chemistry and

physics. Its goal is to teach cadets how things work, how they are put together. In the biology classes of Capt. Ron Rosendahl and Mrs. Mary Powers, cadets learned about life, from the simple, single cell, to something complex, such as human beings. Maj. Waldo Roberts taught them the ingredients of all substances in chemistry and the forces, gravity, for instance, in physics.

Capt. Tim Daniel, who is department chairman, teaches American History. He has a special fondness for the Civil War period, as his classroom, above, clearly shows. Here, Capt. Daniel takes his class through the Boody Shirt Issue.

World history is taught by Maj. Ed. Morris and Lt. Col. Ken Mortenson. Col. Clyde Patterson Jr. teaches senior honors government and economics. Lt. Kevin Shaddox teaches the other government and economics classes as well as history.

Social Studies

includes world history, American history, government, economics and psychology. All are classes that help cadets understand today’s world. Others got out into the world for further study. Capt. Mike Brewer’s psych class toured the Fulton Mental Health Center. Honors economics visited the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis. And ten seniors went to Washington, D.C., for the Presidential Classroom.

Electives are those disciplines outside the

traditional ethic of the three Rs. But they are important as they allow cadets to develop skills that interest them. For those with a creative bent, there is Mrs. Becky Erdei’s art class, the glee club, which is supervised by Mrs. Joan Mills; engineering drawing under Lt. Jim Lowry, or Lt. Spangler’s journalism class. One elective, typing with Col. Robert Johnson, is a practical craft and most important.

i IM The Memorial Chapel a multifaceted edifice. It is a place for worship, reflection, counseling, and in its basement, assemblies of the corps. Chaplain Richard Ash, new to MMA this year, directs Chapel activities, and is often the speaker at Sunday vesper services. Mrs Joan Mills is the choir and music director. Mrs. Julie Putnam is the accompanist for vespers and other functions, such as the annual evensong.

The Student Center

is located in the basement of Stribling Hall and is a popular gathering place for cadets. Operated by Mr. Worthy Blaisdell and his wife, Ruby, it offers cadets a snack bar, where they can get a hamburger and a milkshake; color television, games, such as pool, foosball, and Pac-Man; or a place to just get together with friends. It also is the place for mixers and parties.

Mr. Dave Loucks, below, doesn't do all of his cooking in the MMA kitchen. At the beginning of the year, all the companies had cookouts at Mismilaca. It was Mr. Loucks who made the outings memorable by lacing the air with the misty aroma of steak. Waiting for the completion of grace, waiters from both the high school and Junior School stand ready with their trays.

■

Food Service

at MMA is handled by Mr. Dave Loucks and his staff of cooks. Feeding 300 plus cadets three times a day is no easy chore, and the staffs day starts at 5 a.m. But they do have help. One duty of a cadet is that of waiter. Working on rotation, the duty lasts for a week, and it includes not only delivering food to tables, but also setting up and cleaning those tables after meals.

The Heimos Trophy is awarded annually.

It goes to the faculty member voted by his or her peers to have contributed the most to cadets. Mrs. Joy Wimmer, MMA’s learning development teacher, received the award for 1983. Mrs. Velma Stalcup, LPN, MMA’s resident nurse and 1982’s winner, presented the award to Mrs. Wimmer at commencement exercises, right. Mrs. Wimmer works with Junior school cadet Tom Dowler on the computer, which is being used for a math drill.

The Colonels’ 1982 season was a rough one.

Fall Sports

Quarterback Bob Steinmetz was injured in the first game. They lost more than they won. Several were shutouts. The year’s record was 3-4. Bowling Green was one of the teams that shutout the Colonels. The Homecoming game ended 20-0. But MM A did get its licks in. Bill Pease, above, didn’t like Bowling Green’s Tyrone Pike rambling down the field with the ball. He stopped him more than once. Above Pease stops Pike on his way to the Colonels’ goal. Keith Kae, right, is coming in for an assist.

Colonels' coach, Maj. Dave Steinmetz, and his team started school early with the annual football camp. He worked out various plays for the year, saw which ones worked, and drilled the team on the year's strategy.

Colonels' Football

was looking for a good year. The team knew its seven-game schedule would be tough. The thought proved to be true. The Colonels went against Montgomery County first. The omen of the game’s outcome was the first quarter injury of quarterback Bob Steinmetz, who had a bruised muscle. Chris Jung took over and had the stuffing beat out of him. The team tried, but it lost, 38-0. 38

The Colonels faced Van-Far next. The Sept. 24, game was close, but not quite a winner. The cadets got close to the goal three times. They were pushed back the first time. An interception and penalty ended the other two drives. The game ended another MMA loss, 33-0. Penalties proved to be a problem the entire season. In the M.S.D. game Oct. 1, the Colonels lost 75-yards to the flag. Those penalty yards didn’t overcome Mike Ballman’s 95-yards rushing and Steinmetz’s 130-yards

Rob Gallardo, above, drew a tot of attention when he ran down the field with the ball, as did other MMA players. Apparently a Kemper player is trying to get Rob's attention by turning his head by the cage. MMA did get Kemper's attention when it shut them out 30-0. The object of the game, the Gold Football, is returned home by Mike Walker, one of the team's tri-captains, below.

passing. MMA had its first win, 36-16. Ballman made the only touchdown in the game against Westran Oct. 7. When he scooped up the fumble early in the first quarter, he as much as ended the game for the Colonels. They couldn’t get anything moving against Westran. In the second half, MMA’s nemesis, penalties, plagued it once again. The Colonels problems in the Warren County game Oct. 15, was one of balance. MMA’s strong defense neutralized Warren’s strong offense. But MMA’s weak offense also was balanced by Warren’s weak defense. The game included a mixed bag of fumbles, interceptions and penalties for both teams.

When the game came down the final quarter, Warren County had 14 points on the board. But the Colonels weren’t ready for another shutout, and Nick Costanzo took advantage of a Warren fumble and made MMA’s only score. Steve Chambers picked up the extra point. There are two very important games for the Colonels each year — Wentworth Military Academy and Kemper Military School. The Colonels met Wentworth Dad’s Weekend, Oct. 23, and dusted them off 14-0. Mike Ballman made the first TD. Keith Kaae took a 50-yard Steinmetz pass in for the second. 37

Keith Kaae jumps on a fumble during the Kemper game, below. Robert Boles, 40, and Maurice Johnson, 35, move in to make sure no one tries to take it away from him.

Eric, right, enjoyed taping the Kemper game as he had a nice viewpoint from the top of the press box at the Boonville High School field, where the game was played. Not all games end happily. Col. McClue comforts Ray Sutton, far right, during the singing of Old MMA after the Bowling Green game, which the Colonels lost 20-0.

The Homecoming game against Bowling Green divided the Wentworth and Kemper games. The Colonels were shutout 20-0. They did get to the 2-yard-line, but they were pushed back. The Kemper game is probably the most important of the year. The Gold Football rests on its outcome. The trophy, which has spent more time at MMA than at Kemper, was held by the officials during the game. When the Colonels did to Kemper what Bowling Green did to them, they collected the gold ball and took it home, smiling at the 30-0 shutout. Nick Costanzo was the game’s hero. He made

three of the four TDs. Mike Ballman made the fourth. But the game was not without problems. MMA’s first drive ended in a fumble. After that, the offense learned its lesson. The defense did well, too. Keith Kaae was its leader with 12 tackles, a sack, a deflected pass and a fumble recovery. Kaae also was the JV’s top man. In the last game of a 2-1 season, Kaae ran for 262-yards and all three TDs against Van-Far. The JV also defeated Mark Twain 21-8. Kaae again made all the scores. The JV lost to Centralia 14-8.

The Cross Country

Colonels, under coach Capt. Tim Daniel, ran their way to a winning 6-3 season in 1982. They started the season with a loss to Centralia. But they more than made up for it when the team returned to Centralia for the invitational meet. MMA topped Centralia, and the other two teams, Hallsville and Bowling Green, which didn’t compete. MMA soon got a chance at Hallsville. The two teams met Oct. 12, three days after the invitational

meet, and MMA lost. MMA also lost its Oct. 13, meet with Harrisburg. But MMA met both the teams again and beat both of them. Centralia fell for the second time Oct. 21. Harrisburg fell Oct. 27, and Hallsville was defeated Oct. 28. Cross Country’s scoring system is similar to golfs. The low numbers win. If a team places first, second and fourth, it has seven points. A team scoring third and fifth has eight, and so on.

Cross country courses vary from place to place. They may run from 1.2. miles to more than three miles. The only certainty is that they won’t be flat and smooth. A good example of a cross country course is the one MMA uses back campus. A little more than a mile around, it rolls over hills, through a gully and around trees.

Charlie Co

. had an 0-3 season, but considering that Lt. Col. Ken Mortenson, coach, doubted that he would have enough men to field a team, things turned out well. It seems the Colonels got the majority of Charlie’s football talent. The Red Raiders are, 1st row from left: Jeff Loney, John Marsicovetere, Garrett Moffett, Scott Lemons, John Davis. 2nd Row: Doug Vitale, Kip

Delta Co.

took the Company Football season 102-6 or 4-0. Alpha was the only team to score against Delta, and that was in the final game. With the help of Chris Hopple, who won the Eagle Plaque for best running back, Delta was unstoppable. The Blue Demons are, 1st row from left: Maj. John Reddick, coach; Miguel Vilchis, Paul Spurlock, Jong-Ki Kim, Jim Long, Carlos Beracasa, Sandro

Giorgi. 2nd Row: Todd Parker, Richard Renz, Hector Nairne, Mario Corsalini, Dave Jones, Ramon Cantu, Jorge Gonzalez. 3rd Row: Brad Guthman, Dave Engrav, Clif Westin, Aquiles Rodriguez, Peter Zike, Chris Hopple, Jeff Felver, Marco Gonzalez and Capt. Walt Webber, assistant coach. Conditioning is important for all company football players. Brad Guthman does a series of neck bridges during a workout, top.

Echo Co.

placed third in company standings. They beat Charlie Company, but lost to Alpha and Delta Companies. The Golden Warriors are, 1st row from left: Sgt. 1st Class Ron Ray, coach; Willy Greenwell, John Somner, John Miller, Robert Richardson, Staff Sgt. Tony Serrano, coach. 2nd Row: Richard Meteer, Scott Riech, Edgar Urdaneta, Julio Martinez, Carlos Beracasa, Matt Rollings, Kelly Wright. 3rd Row:

Craig Miller, Mark Geenen, Mark Nixon, Chet Plegge, Mike Hesskamp, Alan Street, Brooks Jones and Fernando Lopez. Sometimes things don’t work as desired, top. Echo quarterback Kelly Wright tries to get a pass away, but the attentions of Alpha’s Sergio Elizondo, 78, and John Thomason, 45, made it hard. The pass was neither completed nor intercepted.

Soccer G Riding

round out MMA’s fall sports. Soccer will have something more to look forward to next year when it becomes a varsity sport. It will be coached by Capt. Bob Fedora, who has coached intramural soccer for the past several years. The soccer players are, from left: Mark Robertson, Jeff Ferguson, Mike Klemme, Jim Kim, Trent Frohock, Cenk Tezer,

with ball; Greg Machnij, Mark Prose, Bryant Engles, Mike DeFrees and Capt. Bob Fedora, coach. Riding at MMA is more than jumping on a horse and yelling giddiyap. It teaches the riders how to care for their mounts, how to groom, clean and saddle. For those who have never ridden, it teaches them that, too. But the best part, of course, is the riding, top.

■

Cheerleaders

have always been at MMA. But in 1982, they came in two models, male and female. Five Mexico girls, above from left, Judy Allen, Sandra Brown, Melissa Bryan, Kristen Lauderbach and Karmen Newton, decided MMA needed some female cheerleaders. After talking with Col. Charles Stribling III, and getting permission to participate at sports

events, the girls made their costumes and devised their routines. They worked with MMA’s male cheerleaders at all the home football games, helping whip up spirit in the stands, top. They continued with winter sports, appearing at all the home basketball games. The main reason for becoming MM A cheerleaders, they say, was for the fun of it.

Events add to year There are many events during the school year that add to the daily routine. They range from company cookouts at Mismilaca in the fall to a senior hay ride party. Classes made shopping and movie trips to Colum bia, the freshmen were the first to go. But all is not fun and games, sometimes learning is to be had. Capt. Brewer’s psychology class traveled to the Fulton Mental Health Center. Col. Patterson’s economics class went to the federal reserve bank in St.

Louis. Capt. Daniel’s government class explored the workings of the Audrian County Court House. Other explorations ranged farther. The Presidential Classroom in Washington, D.C. is an example. So is the educational tour, which this year took a Caribbean cruise. Two cadets traveled and learned in the air over Mexico. Tim Brown, who won the Ferguson flight scholar ship, and Brendon Shower spent all their free time at the airport taking

flying lessons. There was a time for giving, too. Students from the Missouri School for the Deaf attended the annual Christ mas party. And the M-Club distribut ed parcels of staple foods to those in need in the Mexico area. Even the faculty had its own learning event. The Century Next computer store in Columbia came to campus and introduced teachers to “Time Magazine’s” “Machine of the year.”

Two of the boys from the Missouri School for the Deaf try a trumpet and the Christmas party, far left. Kip Horstmann, left, and Dave Duringer were part of the traveling Christmas ensemble. Anything goes on Anything Goes night, which is before the Homecoming game, above. Robby Wilson, left, is dressed as the jungle fighter, and Bill Battle trys out as "super-cadet. " Early in 1983 there was an addition to the MMA family. One of its horses gave birth to a long-legged colt, above right. One of the biggest events, especially for the seniors, was the arrival of the rings, above. They, from left. Frank Gruber, Gary Cline, Ray Sutton, Neal Young, Mike Walker and Dan Smith, proudly showed them off. To raise money for its activities, the M-Club sold its members. One, Jeff Kays, bottom, was sold into slavery for the purpose of shining a pair of boots.

The Winter sport’s season was most busy. Four varsity

Winter Sports

sports, basketball, swimming, wrestling and rifle, competed. The same went for company sports. While Colonels basketball had the busiest schedule with 15 games, Colonels swimming had the best season, winning all eight of its meets, thus winning for itself the white letter sweater, which designates an undefeated season. One of the white letter sweatermen, Carlos Rendon, above, stretches out for the lead in the 100-meter freestyle.

Bob Steinmetz makes two in the community R-6 game. MMA tried its best, but it was outshot during the game, right. Ray Sutton, 40, tips the ball to Clint Aichs during the season opener against Kemper, far right. The game was quick-paced. The Colonels outscored Kemper in all quarters but the third.

Colonels Basketball

had a dismal 4-11 season that was plaqued by problems. Illness pulled lead players out of the line up, such as Luis Rivero, and Frank Gruber was out for awhile due to a broken clavicle. The Colonels, above, 1st row from left: Frank Gruber, Luis Rivero, Mike Walker, Shunion Shine, Joey Conroy. 2nd Row: Carr Scearce, Ray Sutton, Maurice Johnson, Pat Rozman and Bob Steinmetz, did their best under Maj. Dave Steinmetz, right, coach. The season looked bright at the start. The Colonels beat Kemper Military School 52-26 Nov. 30. 66

Bob Steinmetz had his first of three 28-point games. But penalties were something of a problem. MMA then lost the next four, to Madison, Wentworth and Community R-6. Steinmetz had another 28-point game against Madison, but the rest of the team was overpowered. The Colonels closed to within four in the fourth, but it wasn’t enough. MMA didn’t play as a team against Wentworth, and it was a problem that would follow them the rest of the season. R-6 just outshot MMA, whose offense was sluggish. MMA won its second game in a fourth-quarter drive Dec. 13. The Missouri School for the Deaf

pulled ahead in the third, but the Colonel’s final drive gave them the 45-38 game. The Colonels lost two more, to Silex, 65-51, and Sturgeon, 72-25, before the rematch with Kemper Jan. 22. After the Sturgeon game, the Colonels needed the 49-39 win over Kemper. Sturgeon had all the advantages, height, making the high-percentage shots and a strong offense. Many of MMA’s shots were forced, Coach Steinmetz said, because of the offense’s impatience. MMA suffered through another four-game losing streak before its 45-43 win over M.S.D. MMA won

the game in the last seconds just as they lost to St. Thomas in the previous game. The Colonels finished their season in sour fashion, losing to R-6 and Madison. R-6 played the same type of game they had in the team’s first meeting. Only the score, 65-47, was different. Fouls proved to MMA’s undoing in the Madison game. The Colonels tried to come back in the second half, but it was for naught. The final score was 46-41.

The JV

Colonels faired better during their season. They won seven of 11. Their victims were Madison, R-6, M.S.D., Silex, Kemper, Silex, M.S.D. and R-6. The Junior Varsity Colonels are, 1st row from left: Bruce Joslin, Greg Steinmetz, Ashok Bokde, Jim Long, Shunion Shine. 2nd Row: Miguel Hernandez, Gilbert Adams, Mike Davis, Lance Gehring, Pat Rozman, and Keith Kaae. Maj. Dave Steinmetz, coach,

sits at right, above. Rozman, Kaae, Steinmetz and Scearce proved to be the teams sparkplugs. All competed for top scorer of a game, but it was Scearce who held the 1982 record with 23. Varsity Colonel Ray Sutton goes for a free throw during the Kemper game, top. MMA’s percentages from the line improved as the season progressed.

The undefeated 1982 Swim Colonels are, 1st row from left: Hank Unite, Scott Nussbaum, Shawn Williams, Enrique Mondragon, Felix Ware, Ricardo Mondragon, Luis Montiel, Mario Corsalini, Richard Shirley. 2nd Row: Bill Battle, Trent Frohock, Paul Kispert, Ernesto Krogh-Hansen Chris Gehring, Chris Wilson, Eric Aronowitz, Mark Guffey, Jong-Ki Kim, Kurt Stoessel, Rafael Umana, Brent Underwood, Marco Gonzalez, Jeff Loney. 3rd Row: Carlos Rendon,

Colonels Swimming

had the best season of all MMA sports — they were undefeated, 8-0. They started with Wentworth Nov. 30. The majority of firsts went to MMA, and the divers won eight points without even getting wet. The Wentworth board was broken so they won by default. The final score was 74-30. Kemper was the next victim. They fell Dec. 10, 71-56. Jaime Herrero was a three-time winner, taking the 200, 500 freestyle and was part of the 400 relay team.

Jaime Herrero, Bryan Faulkner, Gus Waterhouse, Ed Razim, Trace McClure, Scott Rennard. 4th Row: Chet Plegge and Fernando Lopez. Capt. Ron Rosendahl, coach, is top far right. Team Captains Ernesto Krogh-Hansen and Paul Kispert, top, stand by the plaque commerating the teams undefeated season, which was presented by Col. C.R. Sribling Jr., and hangs in the Natatorium.

The most difficult meet of the season was against Sedalia Jan. 13. No more than three points separated the teams during the meet. Sedalia led 58-56 before the last event, but they had no diving team. The eight points gained from the forfeit gave MMA the meet 64-58. The Colonels met Wentworth again Jan. 18. They again performed excellently. MMA took first in every event. Herrero scored another hat trick, and the score was 86-34. In a repeat of the season’s start, the Colonels met Kemper next. And like the first meeting, they beat the

Diver Chris Linek flies off the low board during a meet, below, while Hank Unite, left, and Kurt Stoessel keep score.

Yellowjackets 86-41. Again following their opening schedule, the Colonels met Sedalia. They were worried about the meet. The swimmers knew that they might have an undefeated season. And Sedalia was their toughest competition. But calm heads prevailed. Capt. Ron Rosendahl, coach, told them to take it as another meet, to swim one’s best and not worry about anything else. If it was meant to be, it would be. The Colonels won 64-55 on straight events, no defaults. There was a 25-point lead at the half, and the Colonels relaxed a bit then, they knew the meet

was theirs. The team finished its year with the state military meet against Kemper and Wentworth. It was the third meeting for the two teams, and while they were not overconfident, the Colonels knew they would be getting the white sweater. The final score was MM A 99. KMS 41 and WMA 21. In battalion swimming, Echo came out the winner. They scored 49 to Delta’s 26, Alpha’s 21 and Charlie’s 19.

The 1982 — 1983 Colonels Wrestlers are, 1st row from left: Tony Yannone, Wayo DeLeon, Julia Urdaneta, Doug Chapman, Kip Horstman, Laurence Bryan, Sean Stalnaker, Todd Parker, Tim Brown. 2nd Row: Willy Lee, Gus Rosado, John Miller, Paul Herndon, Humberto Urdaneta, Mark Hayes, Scott Herndon, Bob Spidle, Scott

Wrestling

wiebi m had a split season. They won six and lost the same. The biggest win of the season was at the State Military meet, which was held at MMA in February. It only took the grapplers 20 minutes to defeat Wentworth. All the matches were decided by pins. Kemper didn’t field, or mat, a team. MMA won 11 of the matches, and Tim Brown, team co-captain, continued his undefeated streak. Brown took his undefeated season to sectional competition. Bill Pease and Kyle Kaae also went to 72

Walt Webber, coach.

sectionals, which were held Feb. 16. Unfortunately, all three lost their matches. At the Centralia Quad meet Jan. 18, the Colonels placed third. They beat Camdenton, but lost to Centralia and Boonville. It was at the Sedalia meet that Bill Pease lost his first match, Feb. 7. The Colonels won the match, but Pease, who wrestled heavyweight, went against a 270-pounder. Pease didn’t lose by a pin. And yet he couldn’t pin his opponent. “The guy was so big,’’

Pease said, “That I couldn’t get a hold on him.” At the Colonels’s other quad meet at Mexico High School, Jan. 22, they placed third again. This time they defeated Mexico’s “B” team, but lost to Mexico’s “A” team and Centralia. The Wentworth team fell twice, and the first time was the Colonels’s season opener, Nov. 30. MMA won nine of the 13 matches. And all of the bouts save one ended in the second period. Kyle Kaae pinned his opponent early in the third period.

Echo Company came out the winner in battalion wrestling. They won eight of 13 bouts. Alpha and Delta Companies tied for second. They each won two bouts. Charlie won the remaining contest. Edgar Urdaneta, top, does in his Wentworth opponent at the opening meet. Paul Spurlock, top right, works on an escape from his Mexico opponent during the Mexico Quad. And Laurence Bryan, bottom right, tries to do the same. 73

The Rifle team also had a split, 5-5, season.

1982 was a rebuilding year for the shooters. Much of the team graduated last year. There was only one senior on the ’82 team, Dave Engrav. The shooters are, 1st row from left: Steve Moffat, Bryant Engles, Eric Rice, Vernon Stiltz, Bill Stuber. 2nd Row: Clif Westin, Jeff Kays, Scott Lemons, Col. Ardie McClure, coach; Jorge Haddad, Dave Engrav

and Neal Young. Col. McClure said that some fine shooters had developed during the year. Bryant Engles was one of them, and he was selected as captain for next year’s team. Bill Stuber and Vernon Stiltz were the others. With all the young talent developing, Col. McClure said, MMA will be able to build a strong team for several years to come.

Alpha Co

. placed second in the company basketball competition, winning four games during the season. The Greenwave players are, 1st row from left: Richard Rivera, Loren Elifrits, Cent Tezer, Richard Gathright, Erol Onyuru, David Ezernack, Nick Costanzo, Carlos Lara, Kelly Henaghan. 2nd Row:

Capt. Mike Brewer, coach; Royce Kingsbury, Jeff Bryden, Greg Machnij, Braxton Pollard, Doug Phillips, Rodney Bruer and Britt Bullock. The team high scorer was Nick Costanzo, whose best game netted him 25 points. The Greenwave went up against Echo Company for the title, but they fell five points short in the 49-45 game.

Charlie Co

. had a hard basketball season. Its team won only one game all season. As in football, its talent pool was seriously depleted by varsity sports. The Red Raiders are, 1st row from left: Garrett Moffett, Richard Taylor, Mike DeFrees, Mike Klemme, John Panos. 2nd Row: Staff Sgt. Tony Serrano, coach; John Wheaton, Gerardo Perez, Dan Smith, Gordon

Henderson, Dave Durringer, Jorge Zuniga and Dan Saydyk. The Charlie Company team gave their all during their games. With the encouragement of Sgt. Serrano, team coach, they put up some good fights. John Wheaton, No. 1, top, moves in to steal the ball from Echo Company during a playoff game.

Delta Co.

placed third in the company basketball finals. The team won three games. But its season didn’t really pick up until Beto Magnon joined the team. Scoring consistently in double figures, he was the team’s spark plug. His best game netted him 22 points. The Blue Devils are, 1st row from left: Hector

Nairne, Tracy Stone, Miguel Rendon, Guillermo Maquivar, Diego Morales, Jorge Gonzalez. 2nd Row: Ramon Cantu, Beto Magnon, Miguel Vilchis, Aquilles Rodriguez, Sandro Giorgi and Lt. Kevin Shaddox, coach. Charlie’s Jorge Zuniga, 35, and Echo’s Mark Prose, 11, top, stretch for a tip in the finals.

Echo Co.

had the largest team and the best record in company basketball. It entered the championship a five-game winner and emerged the champions after defeating Alpha Company in a close 49-45 game. That game featured a shoot out between Echo’s Matt Vis, who shot consistently in double figures, and Alpha’s Nick Costanzo. In the last game, Vis shot for 27 points. Costanzo shot for 25.

The Golden Warriors are, 1st row from left: John Somner, Brett Hardgrove, Eric Ghio, John Hiatt. 2nd Row: Bill Hankes, Juan Maya, Charlie Wood, Robert Richardson, Adrian Adriano, Gerardo Garza, Mike Ballman. 3rd Row: Chris Sellers, Peter McDermott, Mark Prose, Matt Vis, Justin Clack, Carl Thomas, Tim Hutson, Clif Brightman and Sgt. 1st Class Ron Ray, coach.

Boxing

is a carry over sport that ends season in May with the battalion boxing contest. A large part of the sport was concerned with conditioning. Before every practice, the boxers ran, skipped rope and shadow boxed before they put on the gloves. Technique and safety also were a large part of their training. The boxers are, 1st row from left: John Somner, Tony Yannone, Richard Rivera, Sean Stalnaker. 2nd Row: Capt. Walt Webber, assistant coach; Ramon

Cantu, Steve Stone, Carlos Beracasa, Pedro Zuniga, Miguel Vilchis, Edgar Urdaneta, Sergio Elizondo, Jorge Zuniga, Beto Magnon, Rafael Umana and Staff Sgt. Tony Serrano, coach. In the battalion boxing contest, Julio Urdaneta, Sean Stalnaker, Richard Rivera, Fernando Lopez, Miguel Vilchis, Carlos Beracasa, Beto Magnon and Miguel Rendon came out the winners. Carlos Beracasa, top, lets one fly against his opponent.

Weightlifting

is a solitary sport. The competition is more against oneself than another. How much muscle and technique can be developed to lift the most weight safely. The battalion weightlifting contest decided that. The weight class winners were: Gerardo Perez, Wayo DeLeon, John MacDougall, Rob Gallardo and Carlos Escalante. The weightlifters are, 1st row from left: Joe Hilton, Jeff Lombardo, Dustin Demerrit, Beto Nava, John Coover, Frank Ibanez, Gerald Hafner, Luis

Alvarez. 2nd Row: Tony Daniels, Jason Thomas, Mar Robertson, Brad Wilson, Richard Compton, Rob Gallardo, Steve Stone, John Stevens, Ellis Floyd. 3rd Row: Jim Kim, Peter Rincon, Peter Zike, Steve Chambers, Craig Miller, Carlos Escalante, Lt. Col. Ken Mortenson, coach; Alan Street, Scott Riech, Mar Nixon, Scott Suverkrup, Gary Cline and John MacDougall. Beto Magnon, right, works out on the universal machine.

Assemblies teach and entertain Charlie Myrick, the world acclaimed escape artist, enthralled the cadets with his escapes, scared them when he escaped from the infamous “Dachau” straight jacket. He made the corps laugh and told them that books held the key to most problems. Dr. Rowland Meyers worked on a temporal level. His love of words and their history informed and

entertained the cadets. Shawn Smith, the Frisbee king, also entertained the cadets. He also got them involved in his program. Flying discs soon were flitting around the gym, and could be seen flying around Colonels Field for the rest of the school year. Some cadets actually mastered some of Smith’s tricks. MMA’s last assembly pitted the

cadets against Rep. Harold Volkmer from Missouri’s eighth congressional district. It was strictly a question and answer session. Four Presidential Classroom grads asked the first questions. Questions from the floor followed. Questions ranged from the proposed cut in the teenage minimum wage to nuclear arms and the value of them.

Rep. Harold Volkmer, left, spent more than an hour answering cadets questions. Shawn Smith, above, taught Keith Kaae and Lt. Kevin Shaddox how to spin a disc. Charlie Myrick, right, escapes from the Dachau straight jacket.

He also learned to enjoy himself, and it often cost him tours. Most of his time was spent with “The Corner.” They gave him a lot of Help!

Later, after making a sincere effort to get the Maroon bar, he achieved a great deal of discipline, which carried him through his junior and senior years. He thanks MMA for his scholastic achievements, because he is quite confident he would not have done as well in a public school.

The four won the awards for exhibiting excellence in academic and military scholarship, and have demon strated qualities of discipline, courtesy and character. A big part of Mother’s Weekend is the flower pinning ceremony. The cadets, in dress uniform, formed in front of their barracks. Three cadets had their flowers pinned to them by

faculty wives. The white flowers they wore honored their mothers who are deceased. After the three were pinned, mothers and faculty wives ranged through the cadets pinning red flowers on them. Company advisors followed them with large florists boxes. The weekend also included a baseball game and the Festival of the Arts. The Colonels beat Madison High School 9-2, and Diego Ayala won overall first place in the art show. The rest of the Festival included a stage band and glee club concert and Dramateer presentations. The band and glee club performed show, musical and movie songs, and the

Dramateers presented two comedy shorts, “Og, Oodles and Twink” and “Toga-Punk Madness.” There was another performance of a more serious nature.

all facets of MMA’s JROTC program. I983’s inspection was held April 27, but the preparation began more than a month before that.

What makes working at MMA worthwhile, he says, is the quality of the boys. The rest of the ROTC staff is Sgt. 1st Class Ron Ray and newly promoted Sgt. 1st. Class Tony Serrano. Both are active duty Army. They, along with Col.

106

McClure and Capt. Bob Samples teach the Leadership Development classes and drill the corps. The drill practice pays off on Sunday when the corps has its weekly review, and at the end of the year, its parades, above. Another activity of the military department is the road march, right. Outfitted in fatigues and issued his rifle, Cadet Peter McDermott trucks along with the rest of the corps on a 5-mile hike.

I wice a year, at Dad’s Weekend and graduation, MMA holds competitive drills, top. Divided into groups of old and new cadets, the cadets compete against one another. Following called out instructions, they try for perfection so one of the judges won’t tap them out. Here Lt. Col. Ken Mortenson, Fusileer supervisor, corrects a cadets port arms position and then sends him out. A surprise this year in the new cadets drill down

108

is that the same cadet won both times. Cadet Ellis Floyd, above left, was the sole survivor of the Mother’s Weekend and graduation drills downs. At graduation, competitive company drills were held, above right. Here Delta Company works its way through the set routine. In the end, it was Charlie Company, the band, that came out the winner.

The Color Guards

also are under the direction of the military department. The Color Guard is present at most official functions and every review and parade. At times they present the colors at other functions, such as the ground-breaking ceremonies for a new VA nursing home to be built in Mexico, above. The Color Guard members are, top left, from left,

Scott Riech, Keith Kaae, Brent Underwood and David Cunningham. The International Color Guard presents the flags of nations represented by MM A Cadets. Its members are, top right, from left, Beto Nava, Oscar Ibanez, Carlos Lara, Miguel Hernandez, Jaime Herrero and Humberto Urdaneta.

109

The M.P

. S also are under the supervision of the military department. The M.P.s are a dedicated and hard working group. They direct traffic at all MMA functions, above, and are present at all reviews and parades to assist those in ranks. M.P. Julio Urdaneta, right, keeps an eye on his charges during a Sunday review, looking for a hat blown askew or

Balls are formal fun The first ball is held Dad’s Weekend. For many it is an interesting experience. Such formality is not often found in high schools. Cadets in dress uniforms or mess jackets escort their dates through the receiving line. “Good evening, sir . . . May I present my date . . The grand march is often said to be fun. And there is always confusion when the line, eight abreast, must divide itself down. The arch of sabres is impressive, something out of a movie about West Point or Annapolis.

112

At two balls, the Valentine’s and Tulip, queens and attending courts are elected. The junior class sponsored the Valentine Ball, and the class officers elected Miss Marcy McKenny queen. Jane Fuemmeler, Rhonda Farnam, Cyndi Brauhseiker and Lisa Johnson were her attendants. The Valentine queen is always crowned by the reigning Miss Mis souri. The Miss Missouri Pageant is held at MMA each July. 1982’s Miss Missouri, Julie Phillips, did the honors and was a big hit with the rest of the

cadets at the ball. The senior class sponsored the Tulip Ball. Its class officers elected Miss Lisa Farrar queen. Kelly McHatton, Snowden Bishop, Tiffany Hughs and Kim Kellum were her attendants. The final ball is held during commencement. It is similar to the others, the girls in their long, pastel colored dresses, the music by the Dick Crockett Orchestra, but there is a different feeling in the decorated gym. This is the “final’’ ball for some.

Miss Missouri Julie Phillips is escorted through the arch of sabres by Bob Steinmetz, junior class president.

Activities

114

^Kctivities at MMA range from marching to music, from art to writing. In all, they are open to students who wish to pursue their creative instincts. The product of their work often brings awards and recognition, such as the Epple Art Contest, or above, another national drill title for the Fusileers. Here the Fusileers are marching out for the exhibition platoon routine that secured the title and the Governor’s Trophy.

The Fusileers had a busy season in 1982-83. They warmed up with the Mexico Soybean Parade Sept. 25, and followed that with the University of Missouri Homecoming Parade Oct. 16. The Fusileers and band won second place in the MU parade. By the time March and April rolled around, they were ready for a whirlwind of performances and competitions. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade in St. Louis kicked things off March 12. A week later, the Fusileers were back in St. Louis for their first ever 116

performance at the Moolah Shrine Circus, where they were warmly recieved March 16. The Fusileers had about a week to polish their routines before they were challenged at the Missouri State Drill Meet, which was held the first week of April. The reigning national champions added the 1983 state championship title to their list of accomplishments. A week after their state win, the Fusileers retained their national title and Governor’s Trophy.

There is a great deal of work involved in all of the Fusileers performances. The man who supervises it all is Lt. Col. Ken Mortenson, left, the Fusileers’s supervisor. All that work paid off during the “blue star” performance, below left, at the 1983 nationals. Teams that received a blue star after their first performance of the day knew they would perform again to decide 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. MMA was the only team to receive two blue stars, one each for the exhibition and Infantry Drill Regulation platoons. One of the last acts done before a performance is spatting, below. It is usually a quiet time, the Fusileers concentrating on the up-coming show and getting the spats laced. Here, from left, left, Gerardo Perez, Mark Guffey, a member of the band, and Carlos Herrero work the laces before the MU show. One of the most impressive parts of the exhibition routine is the mechanical precision of the line. The Fusileers are halfway through the line routine, right.

1983 Nationals results At the 1983 Illinois National Invitational Drill Meet, The Fusileers won the Governor’s Trophy for the second year in a row. They also won: 1st Exhibition Platoon, 2nd Infantry Drill Regulation Platoon, 1st Squad IDR, and 1st Exhibition duet. In the Individual Drilldown, The Fusileers placed six in the top 10. Fusileers took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th.

The Bond.

which comprises three parts, the marching and stage bands, and the drum and bugle corps, also had a busy year. The marching band went with the Fusileers to the Mexico Soybean and MU Homecoming parades, not to mention the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the Shrine Circus performance, both of which were in St. Louis. The drum and bugle corps attended the MU-K State basketball game with the Fusileers. They even got a shot on TV as the game

118

was televised by NBC. The drum and bugle corps, right, gets weekly practice at Sunday reviews. The stage band plays for special occasions, such as the Pop Concert with the glee club prior to spring furlough. The band is commanded musically by two people, the drum major, Cadet Bob Steinmetz, and Lt. Col. Paul Cherches, far right. Here Col. Cherches works with trumpet player Mark Guffey during a private music session.

Art

classes at MMA allow cadets to create in the medium of their choice. There are several judgings a year, in which the pottery, paintings, sculpture and sketches are awarded prizes. The big contest is the Epple Art Fair, top. Here Cadet Mark Greenen and his parents examine student work that was displayed in the Alumni-Visitors Lounge.

weather. Baseball, golf and tennis all had games rained out or rescheduled. Track held all of its home meets but one inside. The weather not only cut into the scheduled games, but also practices. Despite this, the teams all had good seasons. The baseball Colonels had a good day for their game with the R-6 Trojans, above. No, the R-6 first baseman didn’t get beaned, but he didn’t catch the ball either. Miguel Hernandez had no trouble making it to first.

The Baseball

Colonels finished their season with 4-2-1 record. Despite the wet weather, and with the help of pitcher Dave Engrav, who whizzes one in far right, the team had a winning finish. The season didn’t look so rosy at its start. MMA lost its first game to Montgomery County 5-4 March 31. MMA was leading 2-1 until the seventh when Montgomery unleashed its bats. “We left too many (12) runners on base,” said Capt. Ron Rosendahl, coach. The Colonels’s next game April 8, was a good day 132

for ducks but not baseball. MMA lost 5-2. The game was called after the sixth due to darkness, cold and rain. After two losses, the cadets thought it time for a win, but they settled for a tie with Community R-6 April 18. The game was called after 10 innings due to darkness. The final score was four. The team’s first win came the next day against Montgomery County. The Colonels took it 8-7. Pitcher Bob Steinmetz, who was giving Dave Engrav a rest, fanned nine Montgomery batters.

The rest of the Colonels’s season was a winner. Wellsville was their next victim. Engrav fanned 12 of his opponents, and the rest of the cadets had a hitting holiday in the 10-2 bailgame. Bob Steinmetz started the hitting streak. When the game ended he had been around the bases two times. Luis Rivero followed him with three circuits, and Miguel Hernandez made two trips. Kemper Military School fell to the MMA bats May 3. The Colonels won the game in the first inning when they ran the order and scored four of their six

runs. Dave Engrav was on the mound. Kemper tagged its only run in the fourth, and they didn’t make it through their batting order until the sixth inning. MMA’s last win of the season was on an evil, rainy May 7. Madison lost the Mother’s Weekend game 9-2. MMA scored four runs in the first inning, and Bob Steinmetz fanned 11 Madison batters. Madison made its runs in the fourth. Second baseman Beto Espinoza tried to stop the R-6 runner, top left, but the ball got to him late. The runner was safe.

The Track

Colonels finished their season with a 5-3 record and started it with a new coach, Lt. Kevin Shaddox. The weather forced the track and field set into the field house for their home meets. Regardless, they started the season with a 59-55 win over M.S.D. Bill Pease proved himself to be a triple threat. He won the shot put, discus and 400-meter dash. Ray Sutton also picked up the moniker “Jumpin’ Ray” after he won the long and triple jump at the March 31, meet. MMA’s opponent was M.S.D. An interceding meet 134

had been rained out. That didn’t bother the Colonels. They beat M.S.D. again, 69-63. Bill Pease and “Jumpin’ Ray” repeated their performances. The Colonels tasted their first defeat at the North Calloway — Van-Far meet April 17. MMA had 55 points to Calloway’s 80 and Van-Far’s 44. Van-Far made up for its loss April 19, when it defeated MMA 67-65. It was a close meet; MMA took seven of 13 events. Another second-place finish would have given the Colonels the meet. MMA’s only outside home stand was against

■s •-

Wentworth April 20. The Colonels lost it in another close one, 69-66. MMA won eight of 17 events. And its track entries also made a strong showing, especially the mile and 2-mile relays. MMA ended its season in fine style by taking the State Military Meet May 3. Wentworth, which scored 60 points, and Kemper, which scored 20, couldn’t stand up to MMA and its 93 points. With the end of the regular track season, it was time for battalion track. Echo Company, which took the majority of the company sports events in 1982-83,

won top honors with 69 points, Charlie finished second with 32. Alpha placed third with 21, and Delta rounded things out with 19. While Echo Company glowed in the track events, the interest was in the field. “Jumpin’ Ray” was looking to set a record in the triple jump. He had three tries. Each jump got a bit longer. His last leap took him 41-feet-9*4. He thought he had a record, but he wasn’t sure. He ran to the field house to check the board. When he returned, the board had to be changed to reflect the new record and its holder. 135

The rain hurt their season more than any others. When the course is wet and closed, there isn’t much to do but curse the weather. Mike Klemme, top, spent the time catching balls. The Colonels opened their season March 31, by 136

losing to Hannibal and Mexico. They made up for it at Fulton April 7. The Colonels won 155-172. All the Colonels improved their games by an average of 10-13 strokes. They put their new games to work by beating Palmyra and Clark County April 12. At the rescheduled Mark Twain — Kemper match, MMA downed Twain 223-261. Kemper didn’t show. MMA’s top-five men all shot better than Twain’s No. 1 man. MMA placed fifth at the nine-team Centralia invitational April 16. They placed second at the Fulton quad tournament and defeated Montgomery County.

MK I The Wentworth match April 20, was a big one for team captain, Nick Costanzo. He shot a four-over-par 40. He led the cadets to a 172-221 victory. After losing to Montgomery County and Madison, MMA came back for a big win at the State Military tournament May 5. MMA shot 330 to Wentworth’s 381 and Kemper’s 466. Costanzo was the medalist, as he usually was, with a 42. MMA’s top five also shot better than all players save Wentworth's No. 1 man, who shot an 85. MMA’s last game of the season also was

Costanzo’s best. MMA beat Kemper 121-158, and Costanzo shot a one-over-par 37. The Colonels’s good fortune didn’t carry over to sectional play. The team finished sixth. In battalion golf, Echo Company gained another victory with a 174. Alpha placed second with a 194. The faculty team placed third with a 207, and Charlie placed fourth with 286. Delta Company was disqualified. Its team was one man short. Costanzo was the battalion golf medalist. He shot another four-over-par 40. 137

The Tennis

Colonels’s Pat Rozman created much excitement at the end of the team’s 5-3-1 season. First, Rozman had an undefeated season, then he won first place in sectional play. Unfortunately, he didn’t fare as well in state play. He was eliminated in the second round. He needed to win three times to take third place. He only won once. Rozman takes a break during the first round at state, right, and practices, top. Mark Prose is in the adjacent court.

Gerardo Perez, Adrian Adrinao, Mario Corsalini, Elmer Garza. 2nd Row: Fernando Lopez, Blas Maquivar, Pat Rozman, Frank Gruber, Doug Redmon and Maj. Dave Steinmetz, coach; also had a good season. They started the season tying with Mexico. The match was called due to rain and cold, but Rozman, Gruber, Perez and Guillermo Maquivar did win their matches. The Colonels made up for the tie by shutting out Fulton, 9-0, April 7. Their momentum did not carry

over to the Helia match April ll. The Colonels lost that one. But Rozman, Gruber and Blas Maquivar were still undefeated. The Maquivar brothers, Blas and Guillermo, proved to be a strong doubles team. They were the only MMA doubles team to win at Helias. Not wanting to repeat the Helias performance, the Colonels shut out Boonville April 14. The doubles teams, which had needed some work at the season’s start, finally got their rhythm down. With the team working well, it went back and beat Fulton again, 8-1, April 18. Only Frank Gruber lost at Fulton, ending his

undefeated season. Gruber started his winning streak again at the Wentworth match April 20. The Colonels also won defeating Wentworth 7-2. MMA did it to Wentworth again at the State Military meet May 5. Kemper lost by default. They had no team. MMA’s last meet of the season was against Mexico. It wanted to decide the opening tie, and so did Mexico. Mexico won. But they did it with their doubles teams. Rozman, Elmer Garza and Guillermo Maquivar won their singles matches.

The 10-K

Run rounded out the spring sports season. 10 kilometers is 6.2 miles. It was run on the back campus course, so it was more of a monster cross country. More than 50 cadets made the run. One of them, Enrique Mondragon, wanted not only to win, but to break the record he set last year. He didn’t break his record, but he crossed the finish line first, above, with a time of 38:57 minutes. He was the overall and 18-year-old winner. Greg Steinmetz was the 14-year-old winner, Julio Martinez, 15; Mark Guffey, 16; Mack Rosado, 17; and 140

Tim Brown, 19. The last pseudo-athletic event of the year was the M-Club slave auction. The money went to support the various M-Club activities. The slaves went for various sums and tasks. Beto Espinoza bought three, right. Miguel Hernandez, left, Mack Rosado and Jaime Herrero did everything for Beto, including carrying him to and from the student center so his feet wouldn’t get wet. Maurice Johnson served tours for Edgar Urdaneta, for a $35 fee, and Jeff Kays “glassed” Lt. Spangler’s size-15 combat boots.

....

It all ends with graduation Dr. James I. Spainhower, commen cement speaker, told the corps of cadets and assembled guests that the world belonged to the graduates. But for the 41 seniors and 28 eighth graders, that world would be different from the one they knew at MM A. Not

142

different in most ways, but different in the fact that the friends made at MMA would be scattered with the winds. The year was over. The speeches had been made and the awards given. Yet the hardest part of the year was

still in the offing, saying good-bye. With Battalion Commander Mike Walker’s final command, “Dis missed,” white hats flew into the air and fell to earth like the many tears in cadet’s eyes.

Commencement speaker, Dr. James I. Spainhower, president of The Lindenwood Colleges and former state treasurer, reviewed the corps during senior review, left. Nick Costanzo, below, was named valedictorian at commencement exercises. The corps voted Tim Brown the most likely to succeed and to receive the Alumni Plaque.

The Lions

football team comprises, 1st row, from left: Gregory Urdaneta, Graham Smith, Marcio Rodriguez, Mike Scannell, Angelo Gais, Joe Krueger. 2nd Row: Mike Jones, Mark Meyer, Chris Miner, Scott Huffman, Cody Byrd, Paul Stevens, John Malin. 3rd Row: Dan Dierdorf, Randy Bentz, Marc Rice, Jorge Soriano, Carlos Sardina, Jacob Jeffers and Lt. Col. Bob Dorman, coach. Even though the Lions didn’t do too well this year, Col. Dorman and his team are not concerned. “It’s the luck of the draw,” Col. Dorman says, that determines the members of the team. One year the Lions win and another year the Eagles win. The important thing, he says, is that the boys get a chance to play, many for the first time. They spend practices learning the basics, how to punt, pass, kick, block, and the rules.

Ashmore won his match with Flores.

Riding

gives cadets a chance to learn about horses. They not only ride, they saddle and groom their mounts. Many of the riders didn’t know the amount of work involved. Regardless, they say, it’s still fun. The riders are, standing from left: Chet Hays, Sean Shaffer, Maj. Mike Menneke, supervisor; and Charlie Costanzo. Mounted are: Justin Sheppard, Kevin Biedenstein, Mark Keele and Paul Risley. The stable is cool and dark. On warm days, the horses, sometimes opposite to their riders intentions, like to stop back for a drink.

163

^Kctivities in the Junior School range from the choir to drama and art.

Activities

164 I

All are intended to explore and expand the cadets interests outside the regular academic routine of English, math and social studies. The choir, above, performs many times during the year, Vespers, Evensong and the Junior School Christmas program are but a few. The choir members are, 1st row from left: Lyle Pierceall, Steve Meyer, Lazaro Guerke, Aaron Silverman, Mrs. Joan Mills, director. 2nd Row: Casey Moore, Todd Johnson, Charles Franzese, Donald Mieger, Angelo Gais, Joel Paxton, John Wilson. 3rd Row: James Davis, Andrew Harsh, Jacob Jeffers, Mark Meyer, Hans Krogh-Hansen, Robert Greenwell. 4th Row: Diego Ayala, John Malin and Carlos Sardina.

The Junior School Christmas Program is a major production. The choir and band perform several numbers, there is a visit from Santa Claus, and the drama group, under the supervision of Lt. Col. Bob Piper, present several skits. In one of the skits, Al Duderstadt, sitting with book, tells Matt Pollock, left and Rodney Chambers a Christmas story, above. The Junior School art students, who are taught by Mrs. Becky Erdei, compete in several MM A art contest each year. In both the Epple Art Contest and the Mother’s Weekend contest, the Junior School cadets are judged in a separate category. They also compete against the high school artists as Carlos Sardina did Mother’s Weekend, right. Sardina’s portrait was judged the overall winner of that contest.

165

Cxi'S

Drill, dancing and spelling are other Junior School activities. One of the biannual drill downs is judged during 94th Commencement exercises by Lt. Col. Dorman. The other takes place Dad’s Weekend. The Junior School drill team, the Brigadiers, provided the halftime entertainment for a University of Missouri — Oklahoma State women’s basketball game in February. Another form of drill was learned in early 1983, top, when cadets took dancing lessons in preparation for the Valentine’s and other balls, preparation for the Valentine’s and other balls.

166

The Brigadiers got to watch the rest of the game, and during a break, some of them met the MU tiger, top right. Joe Krueger, far right, concentrates during the graduation drill down. The mental diligence paid off; he won the drill down. Concentration of another sort takes place below. Patrick Hurley, left, and Matt Pollock were the finalists in the spelling bee. After several tense rounds between the two, Pollock came out the winner.

Graduation

168

For 28 eighth-graders it was both. Junior high school was behind them, and high school is in front of them. For seventh-graders, it was a beginning. As eighth-graders, it will be their turn to lead Bravo Company. Bravo Company Commander Todd Misemer, top, ended his Junior School career in fine style. He was awarded the Stribling Cup and named eight-grade valedictorian. Seventh-grader Patrick Hurley, above, was awarded the plaque for highest scholarship in his class at commencement. As an eighth-grader, he will have a chance to advance to a leadership position. Jimmy Capraro, right, takes a final flight with his Mustang.

Do you often prefer to drink alone, rather than with others?

Have you begun to drink in the morning, before school or work?

Do you drink because you have problems? To face up to stressful situations? Do you drink when you get mad at other people, your friends or parents?

Are your grades starting to slip? Are you goofing off on the job?

Do you ever try to stop drinking or drink less — and fail?

(

Alcoholism is a rough word to deal with! Yet nobody is too young (or too old) to have trouble with booze. That’s because alcoholism is an illness. It can hit anyone. Young, old. Rich, poor, Black, white.

And it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been drinking or what you’ve been drinking. It’s what drinking does to you that counts.

To help you decide whether you might have a problem with your own drinking, we’ve prepared these 12 questions. The answers are nobody’s business but your own.

Do you gulp your drinks as if to satisfy a great thirst?

If you can answer yes to any ONE of these questions, then it’s time you took a serious look at what your drinking might be doing to you.

Do you ever have loss of memory due to your drinking?

And, if you do need help or if you’d just like to talk to someone about your drinking, call

10 11 12

Do you avoid leveling with others about your drinking? 813-087-1 1 12

Do you ever get into trouble when you are drinking? Do you often get drunk when you drink, even when you do not mean to? Do you think It Is cool to be able to hold your liquor?
