ITC 01' BOD ml DEDICATED TD Vile, the graduating class of 1955, re- spectfully dedicate this edition of the Sword and Sabre to our Commandant of Cadets, Colonel Herbert T. Benz. During our years at B.M.I., we have all come in close contact with Colonel Benz and have been influenced by his teachings in conduct and manners. At all times he has always been willing to help any cadet in need. We feel that Colonel Benz deserves a great deal more credit than he usually receives. He carries out a rather thankless assign- ment which requires inlinite patience and understanding. In honoring you, with this dedica- tion, Colonel Benz, we wish to show our appreciation and gratitude for your ceaseless striving to help ourselves. For this we can only say, humbly, Thank You .

D., Norwich University Dean and Co-Principal Years, even decades from now, when we seniors of 1955 look back and think of the outstanding men we have met in our lives, Dean Smith will surely rank among the finest. We shall always remember his never ending pa- tience and genuine interest in every student at B.M.I. Yes, we the Senior Class, salute you, Dean Smith, a man whose judgment and understanding of boys has helped to make our school of greatest value. During our time at B.M.I. we have encoun- tered a number of problems, solutions for which have seemed to be beyond our abilities. Mr. J. Harold Lucas, our counsel in many of our daily problems, directed us through the paths that led the way to success in our numer- ous relations at school. We, the class of 1955, also salute you, Mr. Lucas, for your unfailing attention to our needs. J. HAROLD LUCAS B.C.S., Rider College Administrator and Co-Principal PAUL G. HARTPENCE, B.S.

GREER Director, Institute Development As seniors about to leave B.M.I., we have seen a project begun which seemed to dwarf all our petty duties. The B.M.I. Development Program, planned by the Board of Trustees, got off to a fine start during the early part of the school year 1954-55. Already a new infirmary is rising across from Old Main. The Board of Trustees selected James E. Greer to direct the new program. Mr. Greer came to B.M.I. from four years of directing pub- relations and fund raising for the New York Protestant Episcopal City Mission Society. He is Secretary and a member of the Steering Committee of the Association of Fund Raising Directors of New York City. His task here is to help B.M.I. meet its need for new buildings and endowment. Vile are standing at the threshold of life with a diploma bearing the name of a great school. As alumni, we can help keep it great - a school where character, integrity and strength, both mental and physical, are developed. To do this we must and will, support the Institute Development Program. mi CLASS OFFICER CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right: Huhn, Secrelaryg Bennett, Treasurerg Baldanzi, Vice Presidentg Giordano, President. On January 16, the Senior Class elected as class officers the cadets whom we felt could and would till best these important places. Under the able direction of the class advisor Dr. Smith, we chose carefully from among our class- mates those who have our fullest measure of conhdence. Salvatore Giordano and George Baldanzi were elected to the positions of President and Vice President respectively. To Sal and George, fall the duties of arranging the Senior Prom wi and of conferring with the Administration on matters concerning the Senior Class. John Huhn became the class Secretary and Robert Bennett, class Treasurer. To John and Bob go the duties of keeping minutes of class meetings and accounting for class funds. We, their classmates hope that our officers will be as successful in life as they have been at B.M.I. We now leave them our sincere thanks and best wishes for all good things to come.

Seniors have made up the majority of the varsity teams this year with names like Morton, Amerman, and Suntheimer standing out in football, Todd, Studioso, and Baldanzi in base- ball and basketball, not to mention all those such as Diez, Dietz and Grifliths who parti- cipated in track.

Names like Giordano, Applebaum, and Spivack will not be forgotten whenever mention of scholastics is made, and who will ever forget the senior officers of 1955! We all wish to express our honest gratitude to the Administration and our teachers for their guidance and counsel. Under classmen, you face a real challenge to measure up to the class of '55, We challenge you to try your best to hold the standards high.

Jwwmwgg all Pjmfou rmfcflrrabseas pf R ESSIHIWIESINI CLASS OF 1956 Most of us have come alofng in B. M. I. quite well and now find ourselves preparing to be- come next year's Senior Class. We have noticed that the Class of 1955 has performed all of their duties well. We are also aware of the responsibilities and leadership that lie ahead of us. We only hope that we can equal the standards that the graduating classes before us have maintained. The Junior Class have had many representa- tives in every field at B. M. I. Some are good academically, some in the military field and some in athletics. Bass, Wemitznig and Slatoff are the leaders in the academic department and all have very high averages. The class has had many on athletic squads. Among the leaders on the athletic squads are McIlwain, Opdyke, Pingitore J. A., Sitton and Wemitznig. We, the Junior Class, salute the Class of 55 and commend them for a job well done. We only hope we can keep the high standards they have set before us.

Leading the class scholastically are cadets Benz, Colescott, Peppler, and Hardin. They are always very near the top of the Dean's list and are usually on the uppies , There are several other cadets who give those named some competition, because they are so close be- hind. Scholastically, this is one of the best Sophomore classes B. M. I. has ever had. In the military, leading the class are Cole- scott, Benz, Hardin, and Nagy. These are the sergeants. Also there are many corporals, some Front row, Left to right: Augustine, Candelori M., Ward T. R., Trieflor, Brick W., Crane, Semon, Brick C., Barrett.

As far as athletics are concerned, some of the leaders are Sawyer, Meiser, Morgan, Jacopian, Benz, and Nagy. Sawyer and ,lacopian are on J. V. Basketball, Sawyer and Meiser have been on J. V. Football, Benz and Nagy have been on Varsity Cross-Country, and Morgan has seen action on Spring Track as a pole-vaulter. Many others also have participated in sports, too many to name here. The outlook for superior teams in the future is very good. To the Sophomore Class, the Class of '57, we the Class of 1955, wish all the luck in the world for the future. CLASS OF 1957 Us CLASS CF 195 This year's Freshman Class is largely com- posed of new boys. The old boys came up from the Junior School. Bob Lear, Bob Waterbury, Al Orenburg, John Tindall, Jack Acrich., Tony Pingitore, Larry Rosenthal, Andy Samu, Larry Navarra, Ken Mezaros, and Ken Paul are the graduates from the Junior School, 1954. In the academic field, Bob Lear, Richard Pinney, Al Orenhurg, Bob Waterbury, George Kowal, and Mike Szyjan are the leaders. The class as a whole has made out very good in their class work. In the military we have Lear and Labash leading the class. They have attained very high averages in Military Science and are doing ex- ceptional work in their companies. As for sports, Waterbury, Kowal, N avarra, and Pingitore seem to he outstanding. The Freslunan Class has a wide variety of tal- ents to display in the coming years at B. M. I. The entire class offers their sincere gratitude to the Seniors for the guidance and help they have given. We wish the Senior Class the best of luck in their future years.

I. is made up of cadets of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Scholastically, the junior School is a separate unit from the upper school, but in military formations, the Junior School or DW company, is very important, for it functions just like the other companies. The only differ- ence in these two groups, the upper school and the junior School, is that the upper school is a Junior R. 0. T. C. unit while the lower school is not. In the lower school, the cadets use wooden rifles instead of the heavy M1 rifles, but they can perform with them just as well as the upper school does with the M-l's. D company has drill every day under the supervision of Master Sergeant Rakowski. There are many activities opened for the Junior School cadets. Besides the regular play period from four to five every afternoon, under the direction of Mr. Wood, there are Midget basketball, baseball, and track teams. Also there are educational films shown from time to time throughout the year. The Sharpshooterv is the Junior School edition of the Skirmisher . This serves as a yearbook for the ,lunior School graduates, and it is produced by these graduates, with the help of the faculty advisors. To the members of the Junior School, we, the graduates of the Class of-'55, wish all the luck in the world throughout your years at B. M. I. and out in the world when you graduate. JU IOR SCHGOL i551 IU IOR SCHGOL GRADUATES This year there are twenty-three potential graduates from the eighth grade. They are: Cadets Aaronson, Ackley, Acrich L., Battaglia, Carugno, Dent, Glick, Goldberg, Hubscher, Kes- ty, Kreyling, Manley, Radick, Reier, Seliga, Seto R., Smith A. J., Spaith, Volpe, Williams, Wood, Zeldin and Zentmayer. Cadet Second Lieutenant Rodney Seto is the company commander of D company this year. He has developed a fine company, comparable with those of the upper school. Cadets Seto and Kesty lead the eighth grade scholastically. Both have had very high marks all year being on the top ten list of the Junior School. With these high averages, it shouldn't be too difficult for them as members of the fresh- man class. As we, the .Iunior School graduates, leave the Junior School to enter the upper school as fresh- man, we wish to tell next year's eighth graders, who will be the leaders, good lucky! Graduates, we too, the Senior Class of '55, wish you the best of luck in your new and en- tirely different fields of endeavor next year, and always.

Here at B.M.I. we are proud of the cadets who have risen through the ranks to assume the position of responsibility and re- spect that goes with the title of cadet officer. When a cadet takes his oath as an of- ficer he swears to preform to the best of his ability the tasks that he will en- counter in his new position. Whether the duty is that of carrying out a mili- tary staff or administration order or helping a cadet through the troubles he might have, a cadet officer is the man to fill the bill. With all due respect, we the Class of '55 salute you, officers, both from the standpoint of respect, and above all, appreciation for a job well done.

The Non-Coins is the group of :adets in the corps on whose shoulders 1 great deal of the burden of leadership rests. Their position in the corps is auch that we could say they are the lu- bricant which makes the wheels ol progress move smoothly in the Battal- ion. They are the middle men. The men on whom the whole corps depends For efficient team work. The grades of these Non-Coms range 'rom sergeant to master sergeant. They are the men who have served the :orps faithfully, along with the officers, ind who are destined to become the future commissioned officers of the Bat- talion. To you, Non-Coms, the Senior Class wish to show our appreciation for a job well done, and we challenge all pri- vates, and corporals to climb the ladder to take the place of the graduating Non- Soms and perform your duties as well 1s they have done.

Oldknow, the B.M.I. crack drill outfit had an ex- ceptionally good year. In command was year was Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Genero Studioso and under his direc- tion the platoon performed various times during the year. The most im- portant of these drills was on Washing- ton's Birthday. The drill team also per- formed at many parades and ceremo- nies. We feel this unit deserves a lot of :redit for its painstaking performances -every cadet sacrificed time and effort to make it the best ever. As the Senior Class leaves we will .ook back on the Landon Rifles with much pride and appreciation. B This year under the able and willing iand of Mr. Morris W. Smith, the band Nas destined to become one of the best n recent years. They proved them- selves to be good musicians as well as :xcellent drillers by their performance Jn Washington's Birthday. It would be mpossible to give the credit to any one ndividual but it is fair to say that a great part of the success of the band is lue to the efforts of Cadet Captain ioger Spivack and his two important ubordinates, Lieutenants Staley and Fluhn. We all wish to thank each member of his unit for utuming in a job well one. We will long remember the ardu- us task which the band undertook vith ease and perfection.

Acting as house senior this year, Cadet Major Ciove has not only done a great deal of work but has shown interest and tact at all times. For many reasons it is one of the most desir- able residences at B.M.I. BELDON HOUSE Beldon Bombers Located at the rear of the campus, the Beldon House is one of the best situated dormitories on the campus. It is near the Main Building and is set back from all the others. This year the house senior, Cadet Captain Robert Markel, has quietly carried out his duties and gained the respect of his Junior and Senior Buddies. COLBY HOUSE Colby Clan The Colby House is the smallest house on the campus and is noted for its high standing. There are only a few rooms in the house and they are restricted to Seniors, mostly. Under the leadership of the house senior, Cadet Sergeant First Class Giordano, it has maintained the high traditions of the C name. DURLAND HOUSE This house is found directly along side of the Main Building. The house has achieved quite a name for itself. It is the dormitory accommodating the lower grades of the Junior School. A great deal of credit should go to Cadets Michaelis and Nicholas for their erceptional interest and management, under Mrs. Houser's supervision, of these cadets of the Junior School. t t 2 S K . 5 E E , 5 i- .

LANDON HOUSE The Landon House facing on Park Street has pro- vided quarters for the Junior School and a few fresh- man. Cadet lst Lieutenant John llyer has kept the L standing high, The Landon House also provides living quarters for the Dean 81 Mrs. Harold NI. Smith. MITCHELL HOUSE The Mitchell House, which is located a short distance front Park on Ilrd street, has maintained quite a name for itself. The hoys have done a great joh this year. Most of the credit can go, of course, to Cadet Captain Frank Skidmore for huilding up House Spirit. The house is quite large and provides for Juniors and Seniors.

Smith and the club officers, who include President, Roger Spivackg Vice President, john Byerg Secretary, Alan Haveson and Treasurer, Henry Yara. This year, for the first time, the Reading Club set forth a list of aims upon which the club is run. They had many interesting programs. The Christmas program was recorded on B.M.I.'s new tape recorder. At another program, Miss Veronica Carey reviewed two interesting books. The Reading Club has also begun the practice of collecting dues. At the end of the season the money will be spent on making additions or needed improvements to our library.

Bordentown Military Institute Squadron in conjunction with the aviation course is ollered to Juniors and Seniors of the Institute. B.M.l. has been lucky to have a C.A.l'. squadron that was activated three years ago by the New ,lersey wing. Mr. and Mrs. Morris W . Smith have been very active in our squadron by handling all administrative and guidance work, that has helped this ever growing popular activity. The instruction that Mr. Smith gives the squadron members in his aviation class is fired into a real meaning by the practical work that the cadets are able to do because of our C.A.l'. organization. Trips to airfields and even orien- tation flights are furnished the members of the squadron to help them grasp in a firmer light the value and true meaning of aviation educa- tion. We, the cadets of B.M.I., look at our C.A.P. squadron with pride, because this activity, though new to our school, has really been a great success and the future surely holds better things to come.

' i z The Thlrd Queen of the Sword and Sabre On February 22, 1955, Bordentown Military Institute celebrated VVashington's Birthday with much success before an estimated crowd of one thousand visitors and guests who viewed the military competition and exhibition. The guest of honor was Colonel Russell G. Rehkop, Chief, New Jersey Military District, who was accompanied by military judges from Fort Dix, New Jersey. The crowd first heard the B.M.I. Band per- form and then saw competition by the drill platoons from each company. These same com- panies were represented in the mortar and machine gun drills. The Junior Rifles and the Landon Rifles, two 6'crack drill units, also per- formed very well. The Old Boysi, put on a drill which was followed by the presentation of the 6'Best company banner. This year, Ai, company walked oli' with the honors. At the conclusion of the military ceremony, the B.M.I. basketball team played a strong Temple University High School and went down to defeat. This ended the seventieth annual program put on by the corps of cadets. It was well pre- pared and enjoyed bv all. ww- 'fm 'mf GEORGE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY PROGRAM WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY BORDENTOWN MILITARY INSTITUTE 1955 + If -1:-'H f..

Second row: Mr. Hoehn, Coach, Slatoff, Hendricks, Scholes, Rickett, Sottos, Mr. Applegate, Coach, Amerman, Todd, Audino C., Opdyke, Peppler, Mr. Verdel, Coach. The 1954 B.M.I varsity football team had a rough time, it accomplished something more valuable and enduring. Under the able leader- ship of coaches, Mr. Robert Hoehn and Mr. Al Verdel and Co-captains Gene Studioso and Dick Morton, the squad acquired a great deal of teamwork, and most of all, team spirit. The season began at Penns Grove High School, where the cadets fought hard, but didnit have enough strength to beat the high flying home club. The first home game was against Peddieg they ran up a score of 19-0. The week after the Peddie contest, a very 841 powerful Princeton University freshman 'gB,' team came to B.M.I. They beat us by a 39-0 count. Probably the best game of the year was when the team went to Elizabeth to play Pingry School. Although the cadets played top notch ball on the muddy field, their last quarter rally of two touchdowns was not enough to pass the three that Pingry had scored in the first three quarters. Despite the disappointment of having no wins, the players enjoyed working together and are looking forward for a better record next year. A '? if . .:.. X, fy giffw yi.: ii ii' A' W .J aff A 1 gli!

However, with a lot of spirit and determination they pulled through to win two of their last four contests. The 2-5 record, unimpres- sive as it was, did not tell even a small part of the story. Under the able guiding of their coach, Mr. Hildebrandt, the team improved greatly and learned a great deal about the game. Even more important they learned the value of good sportsmanship. Manual De La Cruz headed the squad as captain and teamed with Ben Catalano to do most of the scoring. There were many young players on this year's varsity and ,l.V. teams who will be returning to give next year's squad much experience. Good luck to next year's team. Q nl A Morristown Friends 0 B.M.I.

No Score CROSS COU TRY Assisted by the able coaching of Mr. Hart- pence and Mr. O'Brien, and the leadership of co-captains, George Baldanzi and Harry Grif- fiths, last fall's cross country squad completed the sason with a 4-3 record. Though playing a very tough schedule, the team still managed to beat squads as Trenton Central High School, Peddie School, Princeton High School and George School. Bad weather and sore muscles were constant hindrances on the performances of the team, but they always kept running and trying their best. They had rain in the Mount Holly and Princeton High meets, and then in the George School Invitation meet, it rained in barrelsl The team literally ran on water! Outside of these three dates, the weatherman gave us fairly good consideration. The state meet, in which we placed fourth, was held on our own campus. Six of the state's leading teams competed for the top honors. Among the cadets who were consistently in the scoring section were Joe Dietz, Harry Grif- fiths, Gus Semon, Ted Benz and Roger Spivack. Good luck for next year's team. First row: Talbot, Zeldin, Franke, Acrich J., Arthur, Sissali, Levenson, Chapin, Semon, Giove, Seto S., Knight.

WRE TLI G This year's wrestling team had seven meets plus the Headmasters and Coaches Tourna- nent. Although the team did not win a single natch during the season, the boys wrestled well ind had lots of fun working together under the ible leadership of their coach, Mr. llonald Dunn. The hoys worked hard to prepare for their irst meet against Peddie School.. Although 'eddie outelassed B.M.l. hy the score of 37-5, few of B.M.l.,s grapplers looked promising. larvey Katz won a decision and Sal Giordano 'restled to a draw for the only cadet points. As a warm-up for the state meet, St. Bene- icts was the next rival. The Cray Bees won his one in spite of the wins by Seto, Sun- ieimer, and Cusack. In the state meet jim usack and Sal Giordano both placed third, ad Frank Skidmore placed fourth. The ,55 wrestling team did not have a very Jod record, but everyone on the team will gree that each wrestler learned a lot. Wle are l looking forward to next yearls team. rst row: Skidmore, Smith ll. li., Pinney, Giordano, 'to S., Scmoncs. Second row: Cusack, Suntheilner, holes, Katz, liranmer.

The last ball sped through the net climaxing the close of another basketball season at B.M.I. Although the team was not as success- ful as the 1954 squad, it was felt by coach Hoehn, Mr. Borst, and the players themselves, that each game was a moral victory. Although the cadets spelled victory against only Hun School, Bryn Athyn, and twice over Trenton Jewish Community Center, it was out- wardly noticed by all, that even if the cadets were losing by a great margin, their spirit in itself was a victory. Time and time again the fighting cadets made it a much closer score with their power of spirit. During the Valley Forge game, in which the visitors towered over the cadets, the score did not open up until the height of the Forge- men began to show late in the game. Scares were also thrown at Pennington and Rutgers Prep, as B.M.I. never let up pressure until the sound of the buzzer in both games. But again lack of height and experience spelled loses for our squad. This year Dick Pitko was the top Playmaker with a twenty-one-point average. George Baldanzi closely followed Dick and the rest of the first team rounded off by Seniors Dick Crammer, Gene Studioso, and Junior ,lim Mc- Illwain, all did their part. The altemates were Ken Rickett, Senior, Bill Opdyke, Junior and Gary Jacopian, a Sophomore, all good prospects for future years. V' ,,.

Here the youngsters learn the tech- niques of handling and shooting the ball, and most of all the importance of sportsmanship. Mr. Husker again gave his valuable time to training the B.M.I. Juniors. His helpful guid- ance and patience did much to produce a greatly improved club. The record was slightly below par, but the hard work of -all the members showed as they won four games right at the end of the season. In all they had a four and six record. Those looking into the crystal ball with the cadet basketball teams of the future's predictions, can certainly count on a few of these boys to round off some of the upperschool teams. 921 B.M.I B.M.I.

The team won one match and lost two. P.M.C. marked the first shoulder match, and the cadets pulled through with a decisive 913-840 victory. Two meets with Admiral Farragut followed. Twice the B.M.I. marksman fell before the shots ol' the Navynlen by scores of 912-860 and 904-880. In each of the regular shoulder matches, eleven cadets fired. The five highest scores on both teams were taken and totaled. The first five was usually headed by Bob Bennett, the captain, Amerman, Markel, Bartholomew and Neroni. Other close competitorswere Apple- baum, Staley, Mezaros, Hagen, ,lohnson and Szyjan. Although the squadlhad several postponed meets, the spirit was high, and the leadership and direction of Captain Eriksen excelled. The basic ideas of good sportsmanship were also very well observed. In all we can certainly feel proud of the accomplishments of our 1955 Rifle Team.

These performances, combined with the uni- fied efforts of the team produced a winning percentage and a greatly improved squad. Mr. Hartpence and Nr. U'Brein were at their usual high in coaching. They guided the team through four meets, taking two from Mt. Holly, one from Peddie, and losing a tough one to a very powerful New Brunswick team. The main highlight of the season was turned 2 in by ,loc Dietz as he flashed across the finish line in a record half mile time of 2:0117 at the state meet. Dietz, who had been improving all season, gave it his best and shattered several state and track records with his electrofying run. But Dietz was not the only one to steal the show, as the fleet footed cadets, captained hy Roger Spivack, showed great competitive spirit and the will to win. A few of the other out- standing cadet runners were jose Diez, Tom Sitton and Carl Strobel.

This past season has probably been the best B.M.1. has ever had in track. To the team's credits go nine wins and no losses in dual meets, a second place in the Penn Relays, a third place tie with Peddie School in the state meet, a second place in a triangular meet with Law- renceville and St. Benedicts and the third straight win of the George School lnterscho- lastics. In the dual meets they beat such schools as: Vlfoodrow Wilson High School, Mount Holly High, George School, Peddie School, Hamilton High, Admiral Farragut Academy and Collings- wood High School. Much credit should go to Saul Bendayan who scored 253 points during the season and set new B.M.I. records in the 100-yard hurdles and discus throw. Other records broken were the hundred yard dash by Alex Candamo, the quarter-mile by .lose Diez and the 220 yard dash, also by Diez. The coaches of our track team were Mr. Hart- pence and Mr. O'Brien, both should get a great deal of credit for the many long hours given to make the team a great success. LeRoy Amerman and ,lose Diez will replace Ron Hibbert and Saul Bendayan as captains for next yearls team. We hope to have as successful a season next year as we did this year. RACK 4 51 .

George Phillips also held much of the pitching burden. Butch Todd, Gaston Bermudez and Bill Mc- Dade led the team in the hitting department, but the other starters also helped with many timely hits. They were Gene Sudioso, George Santa Maria, Jim Mclllwain, Nelson Rainforth and George Baldanzi. In general, the whole team practiced and played as hard as they could and deserve a great deal of credit for the fine display of teamwork and sportsmanship they showed throughout the season.

Brooklyn Bridge is a monument to its designer, John A. Roebling, who lost his life in its service, and to its builder, Colonel Washington A. Roebling, who lost his health in carrying his father's plans to completion, But it is also a monument to the patience, strength and inspiration of a woman, the Colonel's wife-Emily Warren Roebling. During ten of the l3 years that went into the building of the bridge, the Colonel was bedridden, a victim of the dreaded caisson disease. But through his wife, he was able to direct every step in its construction . . . she was his messenger, inspector, spokesman. Although the name of Emily Roebling did not appear on the official records, the press of the day recognized the part she played in bringing to com- pletion the world-famous bridge, calling her achievement a triumph of the human spirit. In May, l953, ceremonies were held marking the 70th anniversary of the opening of the span. With funds collected by popular subscription, the result of a movement sponsored by The Brooklyn Engineers Club, a memorial plaque was placed on the bridge, dedicated to the memory of this notable lady. The inscription on it concludes with these words- Back of every great work we can find the self-sacrificing devotion of a woman, JOHN A.
