SmpN ' S VOLLEYBALL The men s volley bail team en- tered the year with high expec- tations after last year ' s 36-6 record and a 15th place finish at nationals in California. More im- pressively though, was the team ' s 10-3 record against var- sity teams, including three matches against top-twenty opponents. Army turned many heads as it consistently proved ability and toughness against the nation ' s best. The future is even more prom- ising considering the quality improvement the team will de- velop as it consistently faces varsity teams. Such a schedule could happen by next year with the teams optimistic chances for varsity status. Unfortunately, Navy refuses to play Army until that time. Mens Volleyball. Front Row: Jason Hodell.

HOWITZER STAFF The class of 1990 saw con- stant change throughout its four years, it seemed that everything that was worth lool ing for would slowly vanish before the privi- lege occurred. The Proud and Mighty brought in with them en- richment, and slowly traditions were changed. Unlike previous editors who praise members of the corps for support, I will once again break another tradition and complain. The yearbook seemed to be abandoned. Club status was at an all time low. Rumors were cir- culated concerning the mere ex- istence, yet it was published af- ter all. How did a 700 page book get published within the Cadet Daily Schedule? Does it fit in with enrichment? Is the publica- tion something of which the Corps, alumni, and supporters are proud? The preparation for the book began in the summer of 1989. The editor-in-chief served on a Volunteer Summer Training as- signment to assist the outgoing editor and initiate the work on the 93rd edition for the class of ' 90. The staff had a new Officer in Charge, CPT Paul Moruza, and a new photo contractor, Academy Photo. The annual trip to Walsworth Publishing plant in Marceline, Missouri brought up our spirits. Slowly it seemed that the plans were falling apart. The logo and the theme had to be changed. Some section editors quit, while other sections were left incomplete. The status of progress prior to Christmas break was four pages complet- ed. Having only four drill authori- zations for second semester, the staff slowly fought back. An assistant QIC was added, CPT Bob Skertic, and the few mem- bers of staff were redistributed according to work effort. Parties Chief of Staff, General Carl E. Vouno receives a complimentary copy of the 1989 Howitzer. Members present are: CPT Paul Moruza, Barbara Sanders, Ex- peditus Bolanos, Sharon TosI, General Vouno, Pat Walsh, Tony Aaron, Anita Harvey. were thrown when more than three staff members showed up to work. Secret midnight runs to building 720 and long weekends were the only possible way to complete the book. Graduation fell upon us quicker than we thought as staff members scurried off in every direction for the summer. The hoopla and cheers were soon over, yet over 300 pages were left unfinished. The book was finished over the summer in time for the editor to report to Infantry Officer Ba- sic Course. Hopefully the future will yield the necessary changes that will allow other Howitzer ed- itors and staffs to put out a quali- ty book with minimal complica- tions. Studio and group shot photog- rapher, Roger Pettengill stayed on to work with the new photo contractor, Academy Photo. 320
