Opening —5 0 OC 6 — Opening NEW RANKS Just when the mold seemed about to break from within, officers found that the real crackdown had come. New ranks forced everyone to keep a scorecard to see who was heading which company. There was still a give and take fight about tradition, but most of the cadets seemed to want the security which the new mold was providing. SOUND OFF sounds in the rural community. Dogwood trees reflect in Paul Peters glasses as the notes sound out loud and clear. TRADITIONAL FEED. Ed Cabo and Corey Koenig need no encouragement to eat from the Christmas bountie which Mrs. M. H. Lvick provides for them at “White Hall.” INSPECTORS PRAISE follows the Roller Rifle demonstration during annual AGI. Mike Martens, Andy Bell, Luis Iglesias and the drill team men put on a real show for the inspection team. NO FIGURE for the Senior Ball, but the formality and the decorations still remain. Brett Thompson and Laura Stevens take advantage of the music. Opening —7 0 GATSBY AT AMA! Angela Clay’s Mia THE STORY The pendulum did not swing slowly back and forth. It jerked! At first there was a steady backward movement — strict shoe shines, tucked in shirts, instant reprimands for lateness to formation. Civilian clothes use intensified the battle. But then came the edict Dramatic action returned when the Readers’ Group presented “Billy Budd.”’ In some ways the year resembled the Washington scene. Intense activity, then silence. Spirited action, then backhill sunbathing. High grades, then study hall. There was a mold, but the story Farrow hairstyle and Joe Di Franco’s white resemble the Fitzgerald flick characters.

That was tough after a summer of easy riding. Band was happily bedded down in their own barracks. Everything seems to be going in top shape. Pep rally, informal get-together with the Hall, classes started, and a sort of euphoria came back over Fort Defiance, population 46, increased to 338. “Victims”’ of an air crash at Weyers Cave International thrust AMA’s men into the action. They were the basket cases for Rescue Squad work. Bob Kauffmann earned an Oscar for his performance. They were certain he was hurt! PARENTAL ADVICE seeps into David Rorrer’s ear as his parents prepare to leave him for the year. Some parents left with tears; others just smiled. HUFF AND PUFF. Capt. David Trimble follows the pace Joyal Mines set in the new cross country event. Five men kept the team going, but no events interscholastically were scheduled in the winding sport. September — 110 JUST IN TIME. Phil Reece (11) boots the ball in the second quarter of the see- sawing SMA-AMA game. Later the Streaks gained control and the final score of 14-12 was for AMA. Sixth Grade Garland Boley Raymond Bothe Jerry Britton Robert Bush Tracey Carson James Carter Michael Damjan Kenneth Gary Gibson Frohlich Endless action Action was the name for October, even though for some of the homesick guys the month seemed endless. There were football games — a tie against Woodberry, a win over Staunton. There were preparations for a dance, a series of pep rallies. When the day finally came for Parents’ Weekend, the wait was worth it. Out to motels, steak dinners, and first report cards — and rank assignments. When Halloween blew in, it was an anti-climax except for the lower School. 0 12 — October (6th Graders) THAI FLASH, Paul Mudamara finds that the ball is in perfect position for him. Fourth quarter shadows predicted gloom and it was, Eastern Mennonite 3, AMA O. WITCHES NIGHT OUT. Beneath all of the make-up is Mrs. M. H. Livick, adding to the look of Halloween for the Lower School men. Even ‘’spikers, snakes, and ghouls” populated the school that night. ANXIOUS MOMENTS in the middle of the SMA game gave everyone in the corps different reaction levels. ZING! Right on target is Keith Sterling. ZAP! Larry Maske gets — the apple and Warm October afternoons were perfect the water. Joe Gurtoski and Henry for bow and arrow practice.

The water actually follows Jay Harper's movement in an unsuccessful try to grabbing an apple. Ty Harrison and Mike Harmon are amused by the failure October may have been the month of Watergate, the midnight massacre, the Arab-Israeli war and the resignation of Spiro Agnew as vice- president, but for AMA it was a rather quiet month overall. Local color was wild, with trees putting ona brilliant display. Pumpkins were about as large as they can get, and fields of corn, stocked in shocks offered proof that traditions still held out in the Shenandoah Valley. News came that Augusta had made the top rating from the past April. Again, it was a Distinguished Military School.

Rural Augusta County abounds in fields of mature corn in the fall. MUMMY HELP! Swathed in cloth, Mal Livick makes off with a victim. Tom White and the second Mummy, Keith Sterling, picks up a panicked Bill Huegel. Nothing is quite like the night of ghouls and witches. That’s especially true when there are mummies, Draculas, skeletons, and coffins with bodies in them. Officers of ‘‘F”’ company put on a real show for the Lower School men. Each youngster is shown thru the chamber of horrors with a record player going full blast with screams, owls, and moans filling the air. After that introduction to the spirit of the night, bobbing for apples seems rather tame. But there is always cider, ginger snaps, and candy to calm everyone down. October — 17 0 (Seventh Graders) Seventh Grade HONOURING DEAD Armistice Day at AMA is always celebrated on the 11th of November, even if there are ceremonies everywhere else on other days and dates. Every year the corps gathers on the black top at exactly 11 am to celebrate not only the end of World War I, but to honor the dead of its wars in the 20th century. Delivering the address in 1973 was Col. David Rapp, a member of the faculty who had been a U.S. Marine. George Rese Skip Medeiros Tom Michael Andy Miller Cadets were happy that the added Charles Pebbles Henry Roberts John Robinson Nat Turner tradition, a parade in Harrisonburg, had remained. For some it meant meals and movies. For others dates and dodging faculty officers. John New (Armistice Day) 1 18 — November (Seventh Graders) THE LONG GRAY LINES answer as the names of AMA’s war casualties are read off, one by one. Taps then sounds as the colors are lowered over main barracks. FLOWERS AND SMILES appear on Sponsors’ faces as they get ready to pin on rank at Brass Parade. Mrs. I. L. Missman, Mrs. George A. Peifer Sr., Mrs. Barbara Smith, Mrs. Noelle Nicholson, Mrs. J. Wade Bell, Mrs. Mary Terko, Mrs. R. W. Debnar, and Mrs. DeVera Wilks wait for the signal to march out on the field. IT’S OFFICIAL. Rank has now been awarded to Bill Menges, Ed Cabo, Paul Cartwright, and Andres Ayau. Mrs. Janet Cartwright and Mrs. M. H. Livick did the honors.

Godwin HAPPY HENRY HOWELL beams only two days before his narrow defeat. His support came from Paul Cartwright, Larry Malnati, Frank Harris, and Mike Rader. The rally was in Harrisonburg. Politics, Armistice Day, a trip home for Thanksgiving. What a month November turned out to be. Virginia's political scene “hotted up” with teen-agers favoring heavily the Lieutenant-Governor Henry Howell, running as an independent Populist. It was a narrow victory, however, for the former Democrat- turned Republican, Miles Godwin. Finally Sgt. Don Barger was able to bag a deer. According to the Campbell twins who went with him, there may be doubt as to whose deer it was. Almanac Barger was right on target with the weather. ’ is Bh we STAUNTON DIGNITARIES surround Virginia's Sen. William Scott, just before he addressed a crowd of about 1,000 in the city stadium.

(Politics Cross Country) November — 21 0 TWO POINT CONVERSION by Tom Peifer on Tiger territory in the third quarter adds points to the mounting score. Hargrave had the afternoon spoiled by a 36-0 loss to AMA. IT’S MINE, it’s mine! Corey Koenig's end sweep against the Sentries of SMA gave AMA a needed first down in the early moments of the game which found AMA on the winning side of 14-12. Mee Tumble ’ Practices were hard and long. It brought results. Confidence built up to a peak and the Streaks were ready for Hargrave. Corps tension rapidly tumbled. Little Ed Dixon reached pay dirt on a three yard run within minutes of the opening. From then on it was the name game with Tom Peifer, Sam Harris, Phil Reece, and Mike Allman making a rout of 36-0 over HMA in Chatham. “We were scared, truthfully,’’ stated Tom Peifer. That ole SMA trauma put butterflies in stomachs. The crowd gave vocal support and early in the first quarter, Sam Harris scored on a short run. Tom Peifer’s extra point meant more as the game roared on. AnSMA TD put the pressure on the team just as the halftime sounded. DUMB PLAY, dumb play.

Marty Martens knees the ball right towards Paul Mudamara who side-kicks it into the net for the second of two goals for AMA. Albemarle bowed by a decisive 2-0. SPECTACULAR PLAY! Nice cheerleaders must have played a role in Albemarle’s win over AMA. An Albemarle player jumped up to head a ball, and Larry Malnati went down low for it. It was inevitable. He flipped right over Malnati’s back for the most spectacular play of the first game. Only score for AMA came with a free kick by Mike Martens in the third period. Saves — that made Larry Debnar the superstar of the Hargrave game. With a tie score of 2-2, his 20 saves made the difference.

Larry Debnar puts his agility to work in order to stop a Tandem goal attempt. Debnar kicks the ball to Al Sotomayor who kicks it on downfield, but no score results.

But whatever it was, it simply didn’t seem like Christmas. The first part of December was warmer than October. Snow was but a distant memory. No lights around school added to the slump. And the time between Thanksgiving and the 13th of December was so short that guys did not have the opportunity to get in the spirit. Just when everyone thought there would be no spirit, Mrs. M. H.

It was brief, Howard McLoughlin, Glenn Keller, Don melted rapidly, and was soon Schwebel, and Paul Peters offer their forgotten. version of “Rudolph.” When the night arrived for the Christmas program, bets were out that the corps would never equal the sum of money which had been collected in 1972. ‘’The spirit is just not there,” remarked one cadet. Nervous Lower School men came forth on a darkened stage and once more the magic of the Christmas story was seen. Company choirs rendered carols as they never had been before. And then came the moment. The Lynchburg Orphanage benefited by over $452. It was a good season. Christmas Program December — 33 0 HIT BY EXAMS.

Over 18 inches fell on the day following the dispersal of the corps. And then came another storm two days later with 8 more inches. Skyrocketing fuel prices and uncertainty about the commodity forced the decision to move Band over to Big Barracks for the duration. Howls were muffled into quiet acceptance among Band members when the situation was explained. And so doubling up became the accepted fact of life. Strangely, perversely, the weather became hot, summer like. Fate. RECALL PICTURES are taken once more, and retakes and pictures of the new arrivals kept the photographers busy.

KEEPING AT IT, Chris Vetick ignores the lowered temperatures due to the oil crisis, and keeps his form at a peak in private practices. CO) 36 — February (10th Graders) FROZEN GROUND yields to the shovel for Ed Cabo. Urged and encouraged by Capt. Harry Davis, a display case was erected in front of the library to advertise new wares, projects, and books. WHIPPING AROUND the skating rink, cadets spill off and spin off, much to the fright of the management. Demise of the Blue Bomb I prevented extensive roller skating parties until May. Willerent Wana Mania in a different form hit AMA in February. Varsity basketball began to smolder, especially in the SMA- AMA game on Staunton’s court. Bad manners from the SMA corps in the form of spitting, can throwing, and insults in one of the tightest games ever between the schools, brought apologies from officials at SMA. It helped. But the loss was 83-84. Quietly Tom Peifer rose to the front rank as battalion commander and suddenly anew spirit began to develop. Other ranks changed hands in a reshuffling of men in every direction. (Student Life) February — 37 0 NO Encouragment Sportswriters didn’t give much encouragement to the Blue Streaks, but they didn’t know! Pre-Christmas activities centered on college teams, and two upsets and one loss instilled pride in the small team. “My heart felt in knots. My stomach felt empty. As long as I’ve been on the team, we'd never been the winner against SMA,” exclaimed Mal Livick in describing pre-game feelings about SMA. At the end of the first quarter, the score was tied, but in second, the Sentries pulled ahead. The first game after the Christmas break took its toll, and SMA waved the jinx over AMA by 75-89.

Something happened in the tournament which was played at Hargrave. In the first game, AMA knocked Hargrave out of the picture with an 88-56 win. REVENGE! The next night was the thriller and counted more than any. In the semi-finals, AMA faced SMA. AMA led, and at half-time, the Streaks had a solid 15 point advantage. AMA topped the Sentries 82-79.

Kite flying was in order for the men of the Lower School especially. Breezes cooperated with winds whipping up first from the south and then switching to the northwest. Trees carried the evidence of casualties. Everyone had wondered where the snows had gone. Zap, it happened. On the day before spring leave, the forces of Mother Nature unleashed six inches of snow, just enough to allow some winter sport activity and to upset spring action, especially the exercise crew which populated the back hills. NOT IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, but just as spring arrived, snow covered Fort Defiance briefly.

With the shortening of Finals, the seniors were informed that the Final Ball, a tradition since 1901, had become a victim of the energy crisis — cadet energy, gas energy, interest energy. Few quivered at the announcement. The spring formal became the Senior Ball, with a formal figure honoring the officers and seniors planned.

By Saturday over 135 alumni and their wives had gathered. Seymour Wilks, president of the AMA Alumni Association, asked that all seniors be sworn into the organization and that dues be waived —and this was accomplished. Mickey Gordon, chairman of the building fund for the infirmary, choked up when he disclosed that over $20,000 had been pledged in two months and that it was all “go” on starting the ground-breaking ceremonies. Champagne, a bulldozer, V. P. Leavel who had drawn up the blueprints, the officers of the association, and alumni gathered to cheer as Mrs. M. H. Livick turned the first bit of dirt.

From that moment on, May 8 has been dedicated to rest, relaxation, and refreshment. After the Professor's death in 1907, ceremonies in Old Stone cemetery were added. With the death of Col. Tom Roller in 1947 and General Chas. S. Roller, Jr. in 1963, the day honored all three. Unfortunately it was acloudy, cold day. But it was a day off fromclasses.

With the shortening of Finals by one day, exams were compacted into a frantic three day schedule ... and then came June. FBI LINE-UP. Seniors listen to representatives from the FBI on Government Day. A trip to court was followed by a revealing lecture. CALCULATING SENIOR. Calculators popped 7 in math classes, approved by some teachers, frowned on by others. Paul Terko smoothes out problems in his Consumer Math examination on the final day. May — 870 Condensed! That’s what happened to Finals. Fear of a gas shortage at graduation time compressed festivities into a two day span. Sponsors’ Parade and Graduation Parade became one.

No Sleep TWICE A BC —once in Linton Hall and then at AMA, Tom Peifer sheds his duties as he receives his diploma from Col. Livick. Murmurs all over barracks during the last night indicated that no one could sleep. Some guys had been together For five years and more. “Remember when we won 1 in fencing?’ “’Yeah, and how about that trip to Hargrsve on the Blue Bomb?” Morning came too soon. Skies were gray, threatening. In rapid order there was Baccalaureate and then graduation. Ad Astra received two new members, Hayes Dickinson and Steve Brodsky. The Gen. Roller- Parker Ward Loyalty Trophy went to Col. John Dekle and Lt. Bob Moore won the plaque for outstanding service. “Auld Lang Syne” sounded almost as if it were underwater. Skies began to drip gentle drops. Some guys wept; others smiled. Slowly the black top began to glisten with drops of water ... some tears , some rain as the 109th year ended. Military proved once more that to be a leader it takes a lot. For a while everyone had to keep a scorecard just to see who was in charge of Band or F or A. Band lived as the closest knit group in the school, and then it was forced to vacate their own barracks in the move to save fuel. Living in Big Barracks the Band learned to adjust. The new officers made that pendulum swing in the MOLD OF A DIFFERENT TYPE. Suspended in mid-air, Val Vintila and Larry London seek the safety at the top of Seneca Rocks, West Virginia.

There may have been cracks in the mold, but the officers were mending the mold.

But it happens every year on the first Sunday of school. The entire corps was so impressive that the inspectors awarded first place to every unit, e.g. the corps, after the first parade of 1973-74. Closest men to the corps froma military standpoint are the SAI and the Commandant. In a disagreement over policy with the administration, Maj. Charles O. Dillow left suddenly in October. The man who replaced him was the school’s jack-of-all trades, Col. John H. Dekle Jr. Working with Major Merlyn Wright, the SAI, Col. Dekle tightened rules, emphasized discipline and laid down specific rules. Discipline turned upward, even with slips throughout the year. IMPRESSIVE CORPS WIDE EXPANSE of the corps formed for services in the Old Stone Cemetery shows Staff and C Company listening to Col. M. H. Livick pay tribute to the founders of Augusta.

Crisis developed early in the year. For the first time in recent memory the Battalion Commander had not been elected as the Commander of Roller Rifles. And the fact that the election had been held prior to the closing of school in 1973 did not help Carly Crisis salve the wounds. There were pros and cons, but in order to prevent an open breach, the elected Commander remained on. Larry Debnar ran the groupona casual basis, with an easy approach. Some men highly approved. Others did not and openly stated so. Few, if any real new movements were incorporated into the performance of the group, but the old ones worked over brought cheers and words of approval from parade officials throughout the Valley. Naturally, the corps thought that the Roller Rifles outshone the Howie Rifles of SMA and the drill team of FMS. First place trophies in the parades proved that the corps was not partisan, but correct. Mrs. M. H. Livick remained on as the Honorary Commander of the unit.

It was the “impossible to duplicate’ George Ralston who came to life when he was able to be spotlighted on stage in the Readers’ Theatre. Mountaineering claimed five of C’s men. The remainder of the company were more involved in walks on the backfield, with Cockney Morris leading the daily parade to his favorite look-out spot.

Anticipating the crisis in ‘73, the ‘74 staffs of both the newspaper and yearbook wanted to prove to all that the energy crisis was a real thing. People started and stopped. Volunteer for the job of advising the ‘Bayonet’, Lt. Robert Moore never anticipated that temperment played a role. “Trying to make the staff realize that responsibility is vital takes as much time as work,’ complained Lt. Moore. Final edition of the paper found Don Schwebel faithful and energetic. Facts about the work on the RECALL could form a novel. Just as the year was ending, the staff shifted into full gear with volunteers coming from all over barracks. Dramatic assistance from Jim Yancey in the dark room prevented Col. Charles Savedge, adviser, from jumping up and down (as did Lt. Moore often). A dramatic drop in revenue cut 100 pages from the first proposal of the yearbook. The mold of the past had been shattered, but the underclass staff members seemed to be getting back into the mold of former years. PUBLICATION CRISIS NIGHTMARE STRIPS.

Honor Committee results go directly to Col. John H. Dekle Jr., and he is literally sometimes in the dark about appropriate punishment. THE FACTS, MEN. Capt. Michael Ridge, Capt. Tom Warrington, and Capt. David Trimble review the reasons stated for having an Honor Committee trial. Complaints about the Honor Committee and the system did not go unheeded. Early in the school year, Capt. Ernest James proposed an entirely new set-up and he immediately became the man who was in charge of the entire program. Constituting the Committee were three faculty members (Capt. Tom Warrington, Col. David Rapp, and Capt. R. Tim Mannasmith) and three student members in addition to the chairman. All complaints had to be presented in writing. The chairman then notified the accused that charges had been brought against him. A faculty member had to represent the accused. Unusual in the set-up was that a company representative sat in as an observer. Only once in the year did any cadets question the decision of the newly formed Committee. It was a new high in res pect. 0 116 — Committee 4 ee= a mr , 7 Lif wee a H j ; ; a ‘| M fl . id LONG WAIT for the meeting Corey Koenig, Mark Spigle.

Honor Committee — 117 0 LEARNING Learning — by rote or by experience and by experimentation? Cadets received tastes of both forms of the learning process. For years there had been changing molds, shifting philosophies about what would be the best way to make students learn. So the courses and their content, the approaches an d the results were as different as the teachers who taught them. For the first time there was acourse in Contemporary Problems and Comparative Government. Never before had there been a course in Consumer Mathematics. And what about Mythology as a full year’s meat for thought? CHANGING CLASSES showed Statistics nationally had shown that individual cadet differences.

Lower school men grew to know Mrs. Livick even better than Col. Livick. Each week she offered art classes to the lower grade cadets. She’s better remembered as the “cookie and donut” lady who helped make the sting out of being away from home. “White Hall’’ was the center of action. The outdoor basketball net was always popping.

CHARLES E. SAVEDGE Sometimes, cadets believed that Col. Charles E. Savedge, headmaster, was perpetual motion. Around Finals, that was especially true. Adviser of the RECALL, teacher of three different subjects, President of Columbia Scholastic Press Advisers Association, and a judge for Virginia, Texas, CSPA, and Oklahoma, the man was here, there, and everywhere. Even at VHSL there was also Tallulah, ‘“‘Doc’s”’ cocker spaniel, And she was in class, bedded down, sometimes snoring. Nightly smells issued from the second stoop and cadets popped heads in asking if they could grab a bite. Several of the new courses which became a part of the curriculum had been ideas of his — Mythology, Contemporary Problems and Comparative Government, Russian and Chinese history, and Consumer Mathematics. Widely known in journalism circles, he directed Ball State’s summer yearbook workshop program, taught at lowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, California, Ohio, Catholic University, and several points in-between. “Tt’s easy’ was alaugh to chemistry students. Above all, in every course, his ambition was to make every student think — and then to make him do his best. 1 122 — Teachers COL. JOHN H. DEKLE Jr. Does he ever go home? When that blue Toyota was parked in his spot, Col. John H. Dekle Jr. was somewhere around, and often not to be found. Every faculty member realized that he could go to Col. Dekle and ask for help. Suddenly Col. Dekle was on as OC, or in Study Hall, or driving the bus. He couldn’t say ‘‘no”’ if someone asked him to take over. It was only natural, then, when the commandant left in October for Col. Dekle to calmly step into the office and to take on yet another duty. When cadets cooperated, no problem. But when they failed to obey rules, they realized too late that Col. Dekle could be hard-nosed. Slow to anger, watch out when he began to point that finger. JUST A SMALL DUTY. Col. John H. Dekle Jr. steps on stage as Principal and congratulates Randy Iacone for his graduation from Lower School. No one would forget that the man simply loved people and loved to talk. Seldom did he ask for time to talk at the opening of school, but when he did, all knew that along session was to follow. Ever so often he did manage to take his wife and slip away to Charlottesville or Richmond or even Newport News. There are simply few things which do not interest the man and he likes to window shop, to browse. Col. Dekle is happiest with people. At AMA that was no problem. He was always listening, and of course, talking. MAJ. EDWIN HART Streams of cadets kept the door to Maj. Ed Hart’s office in constant operation. As guidance counselor, he had to perform as a buddy, ashrink, a confessor, and a guide. In the world history classroom, he commanded respect and his students gave him outstanding marks as a real teacher since he was always prepared with outside material. Golf claimed him at every opportunity. He and Mrs. Hart made it to Ingleside and the greens with regularity. Lacrosse had been his game in college and he was AMA's varsity coach for 10 years. What really brought cadets into see him were their plans for the future. Test records on CEEB, ACT, PSAT, the SRC College Guidance program, the NEDT, and the IQ tests made him a natural for advice. His office is lined with a solid wall of catalogs. ‘He is really a help,”’ stated one senior. ‘He doesn’t fool around, helps us analyze our scores, and then suggests a college which will fill our needs.” Formerly a Marine and a police officer in New York City, Maj. Hart teaches at Blue Ridge Community College in night courses about police science. That meant he was strict, but fair, honest in his approach. That’s why so many cadets had so much respect for his opinions. ”OH, COME ON, JEANIE.” Maj. Ed Hart knows he’s the object of acclick, but Mrs. Hart wants no part of it. The Harts had been chatting with parents over at “White Hall” on Parents Weekend in April. 4 ree a as Sits Oe ye Papa Ff = ry , CAPT.

There’s no better bird dog in the world,” claims Capt. Sharp. Some guys make a parent out ofa faculty officer. George Ralston tried it with everyone, but his lines of communication were really open with the small man who had been in the U.S. Army before his retirement. ‘I can certainly talk to him. He’s humorous, but dry,’ commented Tom Peifer. When cadets needed electrical work, he was the man. A demon at room inspections, his daily turn around the stoops caused consternation from guys who hadn’t been careful with their rooms. CAPT. MICHAEL RIDGE Flabouyant, wine-taster, actor, gourmet cook and analyist, Capt. Michael Ridge kept a tight control over his Reading Clinic — as the sole occupant of the department. Scores of students discovered that reading would help them and they enrolled in the course. After basics, they then discovered that the reading material in the clinic was varied, tailored to every need. Faculty members were always accusing students of reading non-academic material. Stock answer ‘But it’s for Capt. Ridge!’”’ My year has been made by Watergate. It’s what I said all along and no one would listen to me,” chuckled Capt. Ridge, with a smug gleam on his face. It was the year his candidates won in Staunton, his CAPT. HARRY DAVIS ’’He’s done more for the school than any man! know,” commented one cadet. “When you need a driver for Roller Rifles, for sports, he’s it, and if he can’t make it, he has even loaned his wagon so that the trip could be made. When we were working on term papers, he came every night to help us and to encourage us. What about the trip he made to Washington, to Lion’s Country, to New Market? And do you know, he even wants acrew of us to go across country in acovered wagon to celebrate our 200th anniversary ?”’ That’s not all Capt. Harry Davis became involved in. With Jim Yancey, he helped design a museum of memorabilia about AMA, a film show a bout AMA, a mini-theatre for students to see movies about every topic under the sun. He and his wife sacrificed time and their ears to see that there were chaperones for dances. Definitely a pragmatist, Capt. Davis searches for new methods of presentation. The library’s collection of periodicals includes everything from ‘New Times” to the “ Wall Street Journal.’’ He was not content to plot out acourse for ‘74; he’s planned for ‘75 and even has wild ones for 1976. Europe is his target for the summer of ‘74 — areal vacation for his wife and his family. Europe will never be the same. POSITIVE LETDOWN. After his production of ‘’Billy Budd,’’ Capt. Michael Ridge wants to be left alone. Mrs. Joe Josephson helps herself to the refreshments at the cast party. UNTYPICAL SCOWL creases Capt. Harry Davis’ face. The food fare was the offering of the Readers’ Theatre cast for themselves and faculty. Mrs. Tom Warrington seems to be more pleased. cousin in Pittsburgh, but not his man for Governor of Virginia. A clothes horse, a Porsche freak, his liberated wife allowed him to assume some of the chores around the home. With his Reading Clinic carpeted, with Mrs. Gerald Gruhn continuing to support him with new paperbacks, Capt. Ridge was able to relax on the tennis courts (and lose to cadets) or in town at the Y on the handball courts. When Readers’ Theatre developed, he was the force behind it. Screaming at his cast, stepping into the roles, he let each man know how to interpret the part. ‘“He’s great to work with, because he demands work,”’ stated Dave Howard. SPEECH, SPEECH, SPEECH, Cadets had to research and write for information, compile a paper and then present it in class. Frank Geddie jokes about oil and the Arab Nations, but it Real Museum Plots against seniors — that was the initial reaction when the graduating men learned that English and history faculty had combined forces. A project would be required and papers would be graded dually. Project of the year was the museum set-up which Jim Yancey jumped at. It was his kind of work. Encouraged by Capt. Harry Davis, classroom 14 was transformed into the first stages of a real museum. Daily project work for students taking Contemporary Problems was the knowledge of what was going on in the world. Two papers, ‘The Richmond Times-Dispatch” and ‘The Washington Post” became textbooks. The one was conservative and the other, liberal. Mobiles, models, and modules were made by math students. Oddest sight of the year was the one involving Chris Craig lying on the floor of the Big Room, mapping out his project on a queen size sheet. ROMMEL AND THE DESERT. Mike Arrington checks out the models and the contour scene which Jim Yancey designed for inclusion in AMA’s museum.

Jim Hogg against his seventh graders. Monroe Adams receives an assist from his instructor in transforming a rock garden into a plant spot. MAJ. JAMES G. HOGG Coach of the runners-up in the Military Schools League, basketball, Maj. James G. Hogg never let his internal feelings show during the tight ball games. His players called him the coolest man that they had ever seen even in the nip and tuck battle with Staunton. In sociology psychology and science and physical education and health classes, he displayed the same temperment, even and quiet, but his demands were great. ‘‘He’s strict. You can’t fool around,” sweated out Skip Medeiros. When he commented about the condition of the rock garden in front of the library, his seventh graders latched onto the topic, volunteered to buy new plants, to study soil conditions, and to see that the project was a success. His green thumb transforms his home every summer into a real showplace. But his caladiums still can’t touch those grown by Col Savedge. He’s still trying, however. 1126 — Teachers MAJ. R. TIM MANNASMITH Need a book, a pen? Want to buy a school ring? What about an order for senior cards? Need flowers for a dance? New cadets discovered that the men they needed was a man, Maj. R. Tim Mannasmith. In addition to teaching biology, a course in consumer math, and an eighth grade general math course, Maj. Tim was the sportsman, the supersalesman for his wife's florist, Blakemore’s of Harrisonburg — and he hunted (even if he NEVER came close to a deer). First man on the faculty to try acupuncture, the first treatment worked wonders for his back, Maj. Tim still managed to whip seniors in a doubles tennis match. SIGHT AND SOUNDS. Mj. and Mrs. R. Tim Mannasmith take to the dance floor when the band finally comes up with a slow number at the Senior Dance. COL. PAUL V. HOOVER Any man who owns two motorcycles, who coaches three sports, who owns a vibrant yellow and white Vega, and who can keep more men occupied in sports than anyone else is bound to be colorful. That’s the truth about Col. Paul V. Hoover, who has been at AMA for 34 years. Adoption of Joe DiFranco and Larry Debnar as his “sons”’ four years ago, paternal protection of anyone out for soccer, fencing or JV lacrosse kept the dynamo hopping on the stoops, in the classroom, and on the athletic field. “You've just gotta show the boys that you are interested in them.” Sometimes that interest meant a swift stick if there was inattention in algebra, geometry, or trig algebra classes. He’s AMA — all the way, but definitely. REFLECTIONS on past years. Col. Paul V. Hoover and Mrs. Emma Hunter discuss the changes which the years have brought since the death of Gen. Chas. Roller in 1963. May 8th was the occasion. ie MRS. EMMA HUNTER If the books are in order, Mrs. Emma Hunter is responsible. Those bills that the parents received were the proud product of the efficient lady who served as secretary for Col. Livick, friend to faculty who needed dittos, and aide to faculty who just wanted to chat. It wasn’t often that she was not busy, however, as student accounts kept her on the large machine which computed the totals. One day it might be a Mazda, another a Mercury, and then a VW, but out of the chariot stepped the lady Col. Livick has openly labeled as ‘‘indispensable.”’ COL. DAVID A. RAPP His encouragement reinstated Spanish level three into the curriculum. He used a three track system even in the one subject in order to satisfy the needs of each student. Russia sounded fascinating to his mother; so off she went to the USSR. It is typical of the whole Rapp family. It was only normal for a former Marine to take over the coaching of Varsity lacrosse. Col. David Rapp, Spanish teacher, gen. math teacher, gentleman farmer, openly stated ‘’ You know, I’ve grown to become truly attached to some of these guys. Maybe it’s because I see them in a different light now that I am also coaching, but they’re going to be fine young men.” GEE, MEN. DO BETTER! That frown forming on Col. David Rapp’s face resulted from first half play against Woodberry Forest. WHO ELSE OWNS a bunny on acast? Lt. Bill Bullock allows all to see his playmate. Mrs. Bullock nods her approval. The wound had come while out for phys. ed. classes. LT. WILLIAM BULLOCK Latest addition to the science faculty, Lt. William Bullock took over the general science classes and capped it off with a section in physical education. Emphasis on the health division was not unexpected, since Lt. Bullock also was acoach — JV basketball. A graduate of Madison College, a native of Natural Bridge, Lt. Bullock emphasized project work. For the first time in over 10 years, a science fair was organized. FEARLESS LEADER Lt. Bruce Smith takes off on aspelunking expedition with his son, Mark. It did not matter to Lt. Smith — caving or mountaineering. Enlisting the aid of his wife, he began classes in climbing using the stairways, the buildings, and then the rocks. The club was a resounding success. Overnight trips became routine. Math classes were not as exciting, but t he whole theme of his classes was that he wanted to teach. With five different preparations, algebra, general math, geometry, alg trig, and an advanced section of algebra, Lt. Smith used every method available. Students claimed that he was the only teacher who could outjump and outshout his next-door partner, Col. Hoover. LT. BRUCE W. SMITH Cadets had heard that Lt. Bruce Smith would jump on a table to make a point. When he brought his classes out to measure the height of the tower by trig, some doubted that it could or would be done, but it was. That was what made Lt. Smith different. He’d been the editor of the international publication, ‘Nylon Highway,” and he had mapped and published information about the caves in the West Virginia area. In mid- winter he popped up with the idea that a mountaineering club to teach self-confidence and assurance was needed. Teachers — 127 0 WHAT IS IT? Jim Jenkins dam flood control project forces Richard Schweitzer to strain to discover how it all works. Even the outdoors became a lab for students in seventh and eighth grades. Ripping up “dead” soil, the students first earned the characteristics of good soil conditions, and then came the decision about what plants could grow best in the revitalized earth. While Maj. James Hogg was the moving force in the lower grade science courses, Lt. William Bullock steered his men into the presentation of a real science fair for the entire student body. Outdoor a Three major areas were stressed by the science fair participants. The first dealt with human anatomy and four emphasized the effect of drugs on the human body. The second area probed into the earth science field. one of the most interesting was the earthquake study. The third area emphasized mechanics engineering. George Mineff’s robot for weather predictions (complete with tape recorder) won the top prize. Just as the qualitative section of chemistry loomed on the scene, cadets found out what shortages meant. Somehow the gas tank was damaged and Dixie Gas was caught in the shortage. So lab work centered around experiments which did not require fire — and finished with a section on nuclear energy. THE CHINESE CONNECTION. Arthur Yuen and Harry Cheung, both from Hong Kong, test the density of ethyl acetate. Yuen walked off with the medal for best in chemistry. QO 128 — Science Fair, Laboratory Dividing his day between U.S. history and seventh grade math, Capt. Trimble managed to coach cross country (which he started), coach fencing, and tennis. He's like a college teacher, relying heavily on essays. He'll tape a TV commentary and then trip us up, ripping it to shreds. He really likes to have us debate on a subject.” That comment came from Paul Cartwright, known for his own love of debate and argument. LT. J. ROBERT MOORE Every night the man was on the stoops, checking on students, offering help. It was little wonder that when the vote was held, there was no disagreement about what teacher would receive the Col. Hoover-Col. Savedge award for service and for loyalty. The vote was 100% for Lt. Bob Moore, new sponsor of “The Bayonet,” financial aide for the RECALL, French and English teacher. After a summer experience at Ball State, Lt. Moore discovered the camera. After a while, he was hanging from trees, squatting, and lying down to get a frame that he liked. Lt. Moore’s students liked the idea of branching out, making reports, and even attending Le Theatre National de L’Est Parisien’s production of “L’Avare” by Moliere. Few people know that Lt. Moore is a Virginia cattle baron, sinking his dollars into beef on the hoof. On weekends he shoots up to Tenth Legion to oversee farm conditions. EVERYONE PETS TRIGGER. Capt. David Trimble stops off from cross country practice to assure AMA's chief mascot that he’s still number one. CAPT. DAVID D. TRIMBLE When a man’s an alumnus of AMA, he’s in a mold. Capt. David D. Trimble, a former captain in the corps, an Ad Astra member, and now a teacher at his alma mater, proved that he was out of the original mold. Conservative, loyal, and astaunch supporter of President Nixon, Capt. Trimble’s arguments with Capt. Ridge were daily affairs. BIG MEN ON CAMPUS. Lt. Robert Moore and Major Merlyn Wright didn’t mean to fight the battle of the bulge together, but that’s what did happen in moments between classes. LATE NIGHT SNACK attracts Lt. Ken Pfeifer and his wife, Trish. Art major Mrs. Pfeifer helped the yearbook staff with some art suggestions. LT. KENNETH PFEIFER Soft spoken Lt. Kenneth Pfeifer was another new man on the staff. A graduate of Duke University with a master’s degree, Lt. Pfeifer sneaked knowledge into his students’ heads. Proud of his hair, he waged a constant battle of hair versus rules, with hair winning out. The informal teaching atmosphere earned him res pect from the mature students in his sections. “Philosophy is the most interesting topic of all,’”’ claimed Lt. Pfeifer. His ideologies managed, therefore, to creep into his teaching experiences. First stepping out to help the Readers’ Theatre group, Lt. Pfeifer then offered to assist with tennis. That wasn’t enough. When Capt. Tom Warrington was concerned about declamations at Finals, Lt. Pfeifer stepped in to lend a hand. Always carting around a brief case of heavy books, the cadets accused him of lilting to one side. ‘I’m only building my muscles,”’ was the stock reply. OUT OF THE PICTURE. Col. John H. Dekle Jr. and Lt. Ike Mackey watch the progress which the science classes are making on their outdoor garden. MAJ. PAUL G. ANDREWS Being in Maj. Andrews class in government or in world history and es pecially in Latin American Asian history is a real experience. Oral reports and research papers are required. Period. Student presentations rule. Day in Court — that was the excitement for government classes, when Spencer Williams made arrangements for all students to see democracy in action. Followed by a visit from two FBI men, the impact of both was reflected in the questions which students asked of the FBI represereeatives. Few people love to fish any more than Maj. Andrews does. He carted students over to Middle River daily when the weather opened up. Friends of men in the State Department, Lt. Andrews enjoyed telling his students antecdotes about what goes on behind the scenes. An avid reader, he managed to present information to his classes which wasn’t in textbooks. ALONE ON THE RIVER, but with students nearby, Maj. Paul Andrews discovers that the fishing is not as good as he had anticipated. In fact, no one came back with anything to show for four hours fishing. LT. IKE MACKEY A handful of students enrolled in art classes, anew full credit course. Lt. Ike Mackey was the man, a recent graduate of the University of Richmond, who brought the course to life. Frequent trips to the Stauton Art- mobile, a visit to the Staunton Fine Arts Center, and to the Mary Baldwin Art Museum helped to give perspective to his 10 students. Art was not Lt. Mackey’s only area of specialization. Two seventh grade English sections and one ninth grade section experienced the Mackey touch. JUST THE FIRST COURSE. Capt. and Mrs. Tom Warrington dive into the opening touches. A feast was provided by the Walkers of Portsmouth for the faculty who went through four barrels of oysters. CAPT. TOM WARRINGTON Good r ap sessions are needed to bring out the students.”’ That was Capt. Tom Warrington’s philosophy. When students were told that they should bring songs to class to read, to dissect, and to discuss, they took it in stride. Walk softly and speak softly. Capt. Warrington’s compassion for his fellow man instantly marked him to his students as aman who would give them food for thought. With the largest family (seven children) of anyone on the faculty, his compassion was predictable. Serving on the Honor Committee, Capt. Warrington was the steadying force, the keel that was needed to keep things smooth. “He gave the class dignity, and I liked the Suffolk, Virginia drawl,’ concluded a senior. ‘He's tops as a teacher.” Teachers — 1310 si SSS EARNING CENTER Years had gone by since the library had become such a Learning Center.

Every year the vertical file receives an extensive workout when Maj. Paul Andrews requires his Latin American Asian history students to present a paper on the status of modern Latin Amercan countries. WHAT CANI TURN TO? Searching for a neat way to cover a history project, Ray Stoutenburg utilizes the library for his own learning center. 0132 — Library IT LOOKS HORIZONTAL, but it’s the vertical file trip for Bob Jones.

Mrs. Barbara Smith defies gravity and assumes a role much different from the ones cadets usually see her in — behind the typewriter. MRS. BARBARA SMITH Seldom without a smile, Mrs. Barbara Smith donned a new role when her husband decided to sponsor the nylon crew. Daily the cadets had seen her in her role as secretary to Col. Savedge. Then she became the nurse, encourager, and friend to more cadets than ever. Small wonder that on Mother’s Day, she received cards from 10 boys in addition to her own two. COL. E. WILL PARKINS Money! But handling cadet funds, keeping up with government forms, and busy making reservations for cadets on their trips home couldn't stop Col. E. Will Parkins from his continued support of his alma mater VPI. His home in Ft. Defiance has the best view in town. ALMOST A LINE-UP. Col. David Rapp, Col. E. Will Parkins, Capt. Howard Sharp, Col. Herb Lucus, Capt. Tom Warrington, Col. Paul Hoover, Mrs. Emma Hunter, Capt. Mike Ridge, Maj. Ed Hart, and Lt. Bill Bullock listen to Col. M. H. Livick’s address on Founders’ MAJ. B. G. HANCOCK Jr. Battles between Virginians and the South Carolinian were inevitable. Each state claims to have the greater part in history. Assuming the lower grades teacher position, Maj. John Hancock (he refuses to use his real name) became a favorite of the Upper School men. Cries for trips to Todd Lake, the Sherando, or for a home baked cake brought action from the soft spoken major. With an MA from Arkansas, he was steeped in methods. JOCK AT BAT. Lt. Raymond Wehner eyes for a single in the faculty- senior game. His third inning hit helped, but the score was 24-20, seniors! LT. RAYMOND WEHNER Davis Hall changed overnight when Lt. Raymond Wehner arrived and became the new housefather as well as a sixth grade teacher. The only man in captivity who could make a VW’'s tires spread rubber, he insisted on the Lower School men’s participation in athletics. His apartment was the place for advising— and this he did in spades for Upper School men as well as for his own charges. OUT CHECKING THE GROUNDS, Maj. John Hancock finds new routes, new trails surrounding the Academy. In a short time he knew more about Ft. Defiance than residents of 40 or 50 years. COL. HERBERT LUCUS LOOK WHATCHA MISSED by not having a Talent Show in '74! Old cadets recall with fondness the sight of Capt. “We need to have the Lower School Ernest James doing the can-can in ‘72. men out on the athletic fields.” Without a second of hesitation, Col. Herbert Lucus volunteered to be the man. Not even sun sores or poison ivy knocked him out. He just kept right on teaching and serving his sixth | grade students. Having been at Augusta for a total of 27 years, Col. Lucus has won the admiration of scores of students for his absolute approach to arithmetic. He has been in charge of Metropolitan Achievement Testing for over a decade, and he was especially proud of his record of the Lower School men in 1974. ‘Only one student failed to show the progress I like to see,”’ he stated. ‘One cadet who was below grade level for the sixth is now ona ninth grade level.”’ JUST REWARD. Col. Herb Lucus accepts the Col. Hoover-Col Savedge award, established by cadets in 1972, from Col. M. H. Livick during Finals 1973. Russian Chinese history or government, or just having rap sessions with anyone who wanted to listen. When discipline needed a strong hand, Capt. James became a Lower School Commandant. He listened to the juniors, but he ruled with authority and fairness. Greatest achievement of the year was the Honor Committee. Capt. James acted as its head and his fairness became known and admired. Capt. James’ father owns a clothing store. His fondness for dress was a natural. That dress belied his conservative ideology. EARLY MORNING BRUNCH for alumni force Capt. and Mrs. Ernest James to be on time. As alumni secretary, he had to plan the weekend and make all of the arrangements for alumni and wives. CAPT. ERNEST JAMES If any man can outalk (the contraction is intended), it would have to be Capt. Ernest James. Everyone was certain that his wedding in June 1973 would slow him down, but the hope died in September. He was talking to parents, interviewing parents, lecturing to classes in Creative 10 When Art was added as a subject to the curriculum, students didn’t flock to sign up. Only ten men decided that they wanted to try out their creativity. Working in pastels, watercolors, papier mache, clay, and acrylics, the men paced themselves. Frank Harris preferred to create in watercolors. Top man in the class was Spencer Williams who was rated as “good in everything” by his classmates. Both in the spring and fall, an exhibit in the library allowed parents to see what had been accomplished. Creativity was not confined to Art classes, solely for Upper School men. Mrs. Livick had the Lower School men out in the field, depicting what they saw. And the phys ed teachers had students learning to add on more muscle. Driver’s Ed still attracted students; that official piece of paper meant enough to 52 students to make them work to pass the state driver’s test. STILL LIFE STUDY. Jim Yancey creates a study in contrasts using achess set and combining it with a backdrop of orient al designed material. HOUSE OF STRING. Art students had a workout with the requirement to create an art study using only color string and nails. Mike Perez created a house. THE DEVIL IN COLOR. Pastels add depth and dimension to Tony Epperson’s study of the forked tongue, evil one. Spencer Williams even helped with instruction. 0136 — Art LOWER SCHOOL TAKEOVER of the front field allows the small men to create their own form of art — letting off steam in PE classes in the sixth bell.

WRIGHT When Mgj. and Mrs. Merlyn Wright came to Augusta in 1971, they were determined to be a real part of AMA. As Senior Army Instructor, Maj. Wright branched out, became a coach, a guide, and an adviser. Mrs. Wright substituted in ’73 and directed the Christmas ’72 program. MRS. ETTA M. CANEVET Nineteen years after arriving as school nurse, Mrs. Mollie Canevet will live to see a ne w infirmary. Tickled is not the word for the 24- hour-a-day lady. Cadets know her moods well. Now they’re waiting for the move-in day in anew “‘home.”’ DIGGING IN with glee, Mrs. Mollie Canevet puts that extra ounce of strength into ground breaking ceremonies. It’s an alumni-funded project.

It is especially true of Set. “Joe.” Popular with the guys in his Military 2 classes, Sgt. ‘Joe’ coached football, assisted with basketball, and then asked to help with lacrosse. He and Mrs. “‘Joe’’ expanded their family with two foster children because they wanted more to become more involved. SABER FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE shocks Maj. Maxwell M. Hutton when Col. M. H. Livick informs him that he is the man for it at Finals 1973. RELAXED TENSENESS. Sgt. Donald Barger doesn’t show his nervousness during AGI in April. SGT. DONALD BARGER Guns fascinate Sgt. Donald Barger, but his Military I students would never know that one of his greatest hobbies is growing flowers. The image doesn’t fit the man who also coaches the Rifle Team. There is still disagreement about who killed the deer when he went hunting with Bill Menges. Nicknamed “Almanac,” he relies on his Farmer’s edition. As a result, he is often kidded (correctly). MAJ. MAXWELL M. HUTTON Sr. Closeted in his office, pouring over ways of saving money, Maj. Max Hutton may not be known by many students. But having been at AMA since 1955, he’s been in the Military Department, in the Commandant’s Office, and is now Purchasing Agent. The man who knew him best was Andres Ayau who served in the Uniform Room. Former adviser of the Roller Rifles, Maj. Hutton’s duties kept him office bound.

A losing season didn’t discourage either one of the two new coaches. KEEPING SCORE, watching the performance of the Lower School men, Col. Herb Lucus roots first for one side and then for the other. Bright sun and poison ivy didn’t stop the “Maj.” GIVING UP SATURDAY night to ° chaperone a dance was nothing new for Capt. and Mrs. Harry Davis. Capt. Davis then gave up nights to come out and help seniors on their English-history projects. Teachers — 1390 0140 — Military PRACTICE MERGES INTO REALITY. B Company men stand ready for inspection on AGI day. The men of the top company of 1974 had nothing to fear. MILITARY OBJECTS on display attract Col. John Dekle to closer inspection of the new case. Protestin Voices When there was no FTX announced for the year, few voices were raised in protest. Just as the last exam ended, however, a paratrooper helicopter demonstration helped to make up for the omission. Subjects taught in the classroom and practices on the parade field kept invitations for the troops to participate in parades. Pimlico had to be turned down because of approaching exams, but the 100th anniversary celebration of Weyers Cave couldn't be ignored by the Band and the Color Guard. Amazingly enough, daily inspections kept the corps in shape and only two full formal inspections were held all year. Advanced military classes unraveled the mysteries of map reading — in the raw. Typographic maps of the area forced students to relate them to the real geographic positions. Students learned in class then tagged the exact location in the outdoors. WAITING FOR THE COMMAND to march off, A Company forms a memorable picture for parents to remember. NO DOUBT that it’s Augusta Military Academy’ Roller Rifle men round the bowl before a practice. FLOCKS OF ONLOOKERS watch first a real Roller Rifle drill and then company competition. Military —141 0 ADDS AND INDEX UNIFORMS by Pres Brown's of Lexington makes the white and blue of Augusta stand out in the game against Staunton Military Academy. Phil Reece shows the comfort of the Lexington, Va. supplier. The Blue Streaks defeated the Sentries by 14-12. Merchants in nearby towns reflected the National concern about world problems and, of course, Watergate. High interest rates didn’t help the advertisers and a 1929 drop in revenues showed in the number of pages of advertising. Just as concerned were the parents. Only one year ago over $4,000 had been realized in patron support, but not so in 1974 when only $1100 made the big difference. Even the index reflected the changes, for the cadets seemed to be less interested in going out fora sport or aclub. There seemed to be more interest in meditation on the back hills and walks up the dusty road to Bald Rock. Changes in the community were apparent too, with Staunton suffering downtown from the pressures of suburban shopping habits. It was anew mold. EVEN IN BASKETBALL, the uniforms are acreation of Pres Brown's of Lexington. Charlie Livick and Danny Iacone display the blue trunks and white tops of AMA’s distinctive uniform.
