Each year the brand is different because the corps is different. Fewer post graduates and more lower school cadets changed the atmosphere and the emphasis on academics was also changed with new teachers, new texts, new equipment, and a brand new set of cadet officers who knew that they were leaving the mark of ’68 on the history of people. Enthusiasm and spirits remained high, even with a sports season which became imprinted on the record as a dismal one in the fall. Companies, however, were stamped with liveliness . . . and the “Bayonet” reactivated with a genuine drive and determination. 68 may not have been a vintage year, but it did seem that way because of the brand—A MA. Honors for individual cadets accumulated and growth of spirit and mind and personality made the imprint discernible. It’s AMA ’68.
