J. Foreword As we Seniors go out into the world, not knowingywhat lies ahead of us, we feel that our main objective should be world peace. In our humble way, WC will try to extend peace throughout the world. With unity our chief aim, we must include the whole world and not just a part of it. We cannot attain this ,goal without full ,cooper-ation. In our minds and in the .minds of others the road toward world peace is a long and hard road which must be traveled with care. We are proud to have a chance to extend our ideas on peaceful living to others. We cannot say that we go out into the world with our eyes closed, for to do so would be an untruthg but rather we will do our best. We leave this school with only one great reminder of our deeds. So come with us now while we go back through the pages for one lingering glance at familiar scenes and faces. Farewell, B. M. I., you have taught us well. The Editor TO THE CLASS OF '56: You are the seventy-fourth class to leave the Bordentown Military Institute since it opened in 1881. If you were asked to sum up in a single word the greatest charac- teristic of those years with respect to conditions in the world, you might exclaim with one voice, Change! That is so true of national geography, so true of transportation and communication, so startlingly true of the gadgets we live with, that it takes a wise man, indeed, to realize that human attitudes, personal traits, and, in short, character qualities in men have for the most part changed not at all. The same basic teacher-pupil attitudes and principles of instruction which worked so successfully when Socrates taught Plato two thousand years ago, have been at work this very year when your teachers here have succeeded in teaching you. Historians believe that the United States Constitution might never have been adopted had not a George Washington in 1789 been available as first president. Yet in 1956 has it not been much the same recognition of the priceless quality of personal integrity that has made the health and well-being of our present national leader the object of the anxious solicitude of our people? Thus good character is never old-fashioned for it is the eternal need of all generations. S Ignorance can be corrected by instruction. But immorality, dishonesty, that scheming selfishness displayed by the intention to get mine while the getting's good -these attitudes when dominant in the citizens of our nation are like termites eating away in darkness at those foundations laid long ago by our fathers in the hope that government by the people might not perish from the earth. You are graduates of a school which in its standards, training, and discipline has sought to give you an appreciation of the unchangeable qualities of good character and of the best in American citizenship. How far you will make these qualities and ideals your own must be up to you! We are thankful that so many of you are already showing the type of manhood that makes us confidently willing to trust the future in your hands. ' Our best wishes for the years ahead. J.

COLBY With heartfelt sincerity, we, the Graduating Class of 1956, dedicate our yearbook, the Sword and Sabre, to Mr. Lyndon L. Colby, hoping that in this small way we can express our deepest gratitude for his efforts in helping us reach this milestone in our educational journey. Aside from his excellence as a teacher, Mr. Colby has captured the hearts of the Cadet Corps with his jovial personality as well as his extreme kind- ness. He has instilled in us faith and confidence which have pla ed big parts in the building of our characters. His perseverance has set an example for the Corps to follow in all fields of endeavor. His earnest efforts to bring entertainment and social activities to B. M. I. have acted as great morale builders. Thus, from the bottom of our hearts we say to you, Mr. Colby, Thank you, and may God Bless You. . . .

HAROLD MORRISON SMITH A.B., Bates College A.M., Columbia University L.H.D., Pennsylvania Military College LL.D., Bucknell University Litt.D., Norwich University Dean and C0-Principal In the coming years when B. M. I. grad- uates meet they will all speak of Doctor Harold M. Smith with high respect. They will look back and see that through the Dean's efforts they were able to gain en- trance to the leading colleges in the coun- try. They will always remcmber his talks and his eagerness to help those who needed assistance. Dean Smith's work is never done, because there are always boys whom he is helping attain their goal. No matter how far apart we travel, Doctor Smith will be in our minds constantly. Mr. J. Harold Lucas for many years now has been signing pink slips so cadets may go on leave. But in our minds he will be remembered as a man willing to help. He is very much interested in the welfare of all the cadets, and the school at large. As the Seniors go out into the great world they will look back and thank these men for their contributions toward a better life. MR. J.

'v - -A P- M- S. and .Tu This year, there were no new officers in the military department. Lt. Col. Burns, the P. M. S. CQ T., was here for his second year, Capt. Eriksen, the assistant P. M. S. 8: T for his third, and Col. Benz, the commandant of Cadets, for his eighth. Lt. Col. Burns is in charge of mapping out our military instruction courses and he also schedules our drills and events etc. Capt. Eriksen, who assists Col. Burns in the planning has the side jobs of being tactical officer of C Co. and leader E of the Landon Rifles, the B. M. I. special drill unit. Col. Benz, who is retired, is in charge of the Cadets themselves, in handing out punishment and awards. He also teaches seventh grade history. These men are among the busiest men in school, as they run the military. We all appreciate their efforts in keeping B. M. I. an honor school, and we shall all remember them for their sense of duty and obligation in making us better fit to go out into the world. 'EH 3 ANDREW L.

We are also glad to welcome back Sergeant First Class Conradi, who was in Korea during the last two years. He takes care of such things as scheduling and assisting in the training of the Landon Rifles. Here for the second year is Sergeant First Class Spinney, who is the tactical officer of A Company. All these men have taught us the practical and theoretical applications of our training and have given up much time to show us the way. So to these non-commissioned officers we wish to extend our thanks for all they have done for us, and as we leave, we are sure that, because of them, our way in the world will be much easier.

I., as seniors, we found the first project of the Development Program completed. The new infirmary was open and ready for business. Mr. Greer, the Director of Institute Development, would like to see ground broken for the next new building before the end of 1956. This structure will be a new dormitory to be called the Sealand Whitney Landon Dormitory in honor of the great headmaster who, between 1898 and 1919, laid the foundation for B. M. I.'s enviable scholastic reputation. Mr. Greer says the project depends very largely on the response the alumni make to the B. M. I. 75th Anniversary Fund. The Class of '55, contributing IOOW1, furnished a room in the new infirmary. Every member of the Class of '56, becoming alumni in B. M. I.'s 75th year, has contributed to the Dormitory Fund. We felt it was important and a duty we should honor that each of us start giving what we are able to, annually, to the school which has done so much for us. Success to you, Mr. Greer, in your leadership of the B. M. I. Development Program. B. M. I. can count on us. X fw if X FN? X X 'Q 5 , . v, 2 ' x, XX I midi ' 1 , al'- Yfsia' JF A gsm? i' fx!

Senior Class As we, the Senior Class of B. M. I., leave these halls and go out into this great world we will never forget our old Alma Mater. The subjects we have studied will now be put to the supreme test. But it will not be until later that we will realize that every hour, every minute of every day was well spent. We also will look back on the many friendships and good times spent within these historic walls. Yet not all experiences are happy ones, and the state- ment, One must take a little bitter with the sweet, makes it understandable. We will never forget the encouragement B. M. I., and those connected with the school, have given us to do our best. Now that the year is over and the class breaks up into its independent members, we thank those who helped us to this goal of graduation. We are proud to say we were a part of the B. M. I. Corps. After the Christmas recess the Senior Class elect- ed as class officers the cadets who the felt could and would fill best these places. With tile assistance of Dr. Harold M. Smith, our adviser, we chose the men in whom we were going to put our fullest measure of confidence. james Baxter and Myles Bass were elected to the positions of President and Vice President respectively. To these cadets fall the duties of conferring with the Administration on matters concerning the welfare of the Senior Class. Harry Griffiths became Class Secretary and Bill Opdyke, Class Treasurer. These men had the respon- sibility of keeping the minutes and accounting for class funds. We, their classmates, hope that our officers will go on to bigger things in the future. We know they will succeed in life as they did at B. M. I. We now leave them our heartiest thanks and best wishes for the future. 21 CHARLES AUDINO Cbazz Master Sergeant Erlton New Jersey J. V.

He entered in the seventh grade and was a platoon lead- er in D. Co. in the eighth grade. In the upper school, he did just as well militarily, being Company Commander of A. Co. He is also doing well scholastically, being on the Dean's List consistently, and always on the uppies. We all wish Bink the best of luck in college and through- out the rest of his life. TOMAS A.

I. three years ago and since that time has established one of the best track records in the school's history. He ran 54 seconds on the boards-breaking Diaz's record of 54.6. It may be that he will go on to break the regular school record in the quarter mileg our current point record stands at 50.7. In the military Tom has shown exceptional ability as .1 leader. He now commands the second platoon of A. Com- pany. If it wasn't for his language difhculty he would have attained a higher rank, So, to Tom, may we say that we are indebted to you for setting us an example of loyalty and trust. As you leave the halls of B. M. I. we'll always remember you as a cadet and true friend. Vaya Con Dios, Amigo. ROBERT W. SLATOFF Spooks lst Lieutenant Trenton New jersey J. V.

Football-4g Varsity Spring Track-45 Dean's List 4. When people ask who is intelligent, with a line char- acter, and generally a nice guy to be around, well, naturally you would say Ron Vernon of course. Ron has played foot- ball for Hamilton High for four years and really tore up the gridiron for the school. He is not very big, some people might say, but in our estimation he is just growing up in size. Now he is 6' 1 and 195 lbs., with 18 biceps an has shoulders that would make you think he is an Atlas, and to top it off, he is only 17 years old and just a growing boy. Besides all of his physical ability and nice looks, he is still .1 nice guy. Not only is he a good football player, but a very good track man. He intends to go to the University of Mary- land and take engineering, BURTEN M. WACHTEL Burt Corporal Wfoodmere, Long Island New York Band-3, 4g Glee Club-3g J. V. Spring Track-3.

Many Juniors took an active interest in the school newspaper, yearbook and athletics. In soccer, jerry Leshko led the team by scoring five goals. Dick Sawyer, Robert Peppler and Ken Smith were on the j.V. Basketball Team and did excellent jobs. Carl Meiser and Gary jacopian were the Junior standouts on our undefeated Football Team, while Teddy Benz and Pat Morgan contributed highly to our Track Team. The junior Class is also represented in the Reading Club, Dance Committee, and in the Glee Club. We, the Graduating Class, wish the juniors all the luck in the world in the year to come, we are sure they will be a credit to B. M. I.

The sophomores are seen in many activities all over the campus. Acrich, J., Aiello, Arthur, Kowal and Voye- vidka lead in the Dean's list array. Cadet Labash was tops in the class for his military activities. Arthur and Kowal were seen on the track Held, and Fry was an addition to the football group. The clubs and publications units around the campus were few without numerous sophomore members. The Class of 58 is anxious to move up in the world and there is no question of their certain ability. CLASS OF 19 8 61 . -fiat. .J ffgic-'fig' 4 ..,-....-.,.-- . CLASS OF 1959 The Freshman Class have had their first taste of the upper school this year. They have proved an asset to the corps with Seto R., Dent, and Kesty setting the pace for the class. These cadets for the first time since they entered B. M. I. have all the privileges and responsibilities of a man. They have learned to think for themselves and work closely with other cadets their age and older. In sports many cadets have proved themselves a credit to the school. Cadets Seto R. and Meier added valuable points to the Wrestling Team, while many other cadets ran on the Track Team, and built up a good potential for the coming years. The Class of '59 will now start its climb up the ladder of success, and with every rung you pass may the blessing of the Seniors attend you.

I. is composed of cadets in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, under the supervision of Mr. Paul Hartpence. There are seventeen boys in the eighth grade this year, and they are all looking forward to their promotion from the junior School and D company to the Upper School and the R.O.T.C. Scholastically they are a separate school but in military formations they form a very important unit. Although the cadets in D company use wooden rifles instead of MI's, it doesn't prevent them from doing the manual of arms as well as the Upper School cadets. Besides the regular recitation and study periods, the Junior School Cadets have play-period under the direction of Cadet Philip Rowley for one hour every day except Thursdays and Saturdays. The ranking cadet in the junior School and of D company this year was Cadet First Lieutenant Richard Marrash, who, may we add, has done a fine job. To the cadets of the junior School, we, the Class of '56, wish you the best of luck in your years left to be spent in B. M. I. UNIOR SCHOOL 63 JUNIOR CHOOL GRADUATE This year 17 cadets will be graduating in June and in doing so will take a big step in their educa- tional careers. Next fall they will join the upper school and will be the nucleus for next year's Fresh- man class. In the military department the class was led by lst Lt. Richard Marrash who was the com- mander of D company. He was ably assisted by Cadets Franke and Jessup who were the two platoon leaders. In athletics the junior School graduates were ably represented. Cadet Meier was on the varsity wrestling team and participated in a State meet. Cadet Franke also lent a hand to our track team. Academically cadet Marrash led the Graduating Class and the junior School as a whole. In all phases of life at B. M. I. the 1956 Junior School Graduating Class has shown its ability and determination. Con- gratulations to a great bunch of cadets who have done an admirable job. Keep up the good work.

It is with their leadershi that the Corps is trained, disciplined andljmanaged each year. Officers' responsibilities can hardly be realized by other Cadetsg their attitudes are reflected in the Corps, their actions are reflected in the Corps and they are looked up to and re- spected by the younger Cadets. The primary ambition of every new cadet is to become a Cadet Officer. To earn this rank a Cadet must have certain qualifications such as the ability to become a good leader, good character, integrity and the capability of carrying responsibility. For the future Cadets that aspire to be- come Officers, we, the graduating Oliicers, wish to leave a thought with you, Hold your head high and keep your mind openg you can always learn.

'wi v The Landon Rifles is an organization which is usually called the school's military crack unit. All members of the Landon Rifles are selected from the corps for their outstanding leadership, schol- arship, drill and good sportsmanship which they show through the years. This year the Landon Rifles was commanded by Cadet Lt. Colonel Frank Gioveg Captain Norman Eriksen was chosen as tactical adviser. Throughout the year the Unit puts on a number of special drills, the best being on Washington's Birthday. A lot of credit must go to the boys in this unit for their hard work in making the corps attain a high standard. Credit must also go to their tireless leaders. The Landon Rifles of '56 passes on to next year's men the honor of being inducted into this organiza- tion. Landon Rifles Band The B. M. I. Band is one of the proudest and most spirited units in the Corps, and this year was no exception. This small unit, under the direction of Mr. Vincent Fiorito, Jr., and the fine leadership of Cadet Lt. Robert Slatoff, had many new and interesting drills. They also learned a wide variety of interesting numbers and played many of the tradi- tional school songs. A B. M. I. Band appearing at a football game is a rare thing, but this year the Band made an excep- tion to this by putting on an exhibition drill and playing during the games. They did this in spite of the little time they had to prepare. A splendid per- formance for the Washington Birthday celebration and a terrific Memorial Day performance are also memorable to the Band's credit. We all give our gratitude and respect to the Band and hope that the B. M. I. Bands in the future Years will be as good as this one of 1956. 66 99 A Company, last year's best company, should certainly be commended on the fine spirit shown by all of its men who are not afraid to get out and dig in to make the company the smooth and elhcient unit that it is. Cadet Captain Seto, as the company commander, and Cadets Bartholomew and Sitton, as platoon lead- ers, have led their men with an enthusiasm and pride which they have instilled in the company. CADET CAPTAIN SETO SERGEANT SPINNEY l CADET ZND LT. SITTON CADET ZND IT. BARTHOLOMEV The person who has done the greatest amount of work to make A Company as great as it is, is S. F. C. Spinney, the tactical officer. The company owes its success to his advice, initiative and helpful attitude. Most of Company's men are seniors this year, but we know that those that are left will carry on the tradition of bringing A Comtpan in first. The Senior Class dips her sabre in a oncli farewell to you, Able Company. i ii F! A li 5 0 SERGEANT C. CONRADI CADET IST LT. PINGITORE CADET MJSGT.

Place has shown remarkable improvement from the new, raw, untrained bunch with which it started. In the beginning it looked as if B Company would get all the cast-offs from the other companies and Compan 66 end up the worst in the corps. Although the cast-offs did go to this company the leaders worked out the best unit in the corps. The boasting done by B Company did not phaze anyone until Washington's Birthday drills in which B Company won with full honors. Good luck, B Company, it looks as if B does stand for BEST after all. 66 99 Company! Attention! Pass in Review g and once again C Company takes the held to perform in a superlative manner. First by winning the inter- company basketball competition, and then by missing best company for the second time in a row by only one point. Most of these performances were out- standing because of the good will of the men who CADET 1sT LT. WERNITZING MJSGT- KRITSBERG CADET IST LT. CANDELORI CADET MJSGT. AUDINO were out to make Company the best in the co s. This year C Company is commanded by Cziiget First Lieutenant Wernitznig, who has two of the best platoon leaders in the school. C Company under these leaders will go on to victory. Good luck to C Company. N garb K, A ...nfm I..g N- JOHN BYER CADET IST LT. MARRASH' CADET SGT. FRANKE CADET SGT. JESSUP D Company is the Military unit of the junior School, and its motto is 'D' Company can do it better. The Commanding Cadet Officer was 1st Lieutenant Marrash who was ably assisted by his Sergeants, Franke and Jessup. During the first part of the year, D Company worked hard to get or- ganized. Their toil has not all been in vain for they are now in tip top shape. Most Junior School cadets obtain a basic knowl- Compan 66 edge of discipline and leadership which will con- tinue not only in the Upper School but for the rest of their lives. Much cre it is due to Sgt. Conradi's tireless instruction, especially for the Washington Birthday drills, also Cadet john Byer's leadership of this com any. We Believe that D Company has had a good year and we wish next year's company good luck.

The Civil Air Patrol of the Bordentown Military Institute consists of cadets with a strong liking for Aviation. In addition to the ordinary class work, under Captain Morris W. Smith, the C. A. P. Squadron has had the privilege in the past two years of special tours to Washington, D. C. Last year the trip was made in a C-47 and this year the group traveled by car. Aiding Captain Smith is his wife, First Lieutenant Elizabeth Smith, who assists with the books and clerical work of the squadron. On behalf of the Senior Class, Good Luck to the C. A. P. and its future at B. M. I. ueen is Prom Although the night was cold and brisk, the joy- ous festivities going on inside the B. M. I. gym re- flected the warmth and gaiety of the true B. M. I. spirit. Upon entering the gym one could not help but marvel at the fine job of decorating done by jim Baxter and his Decorating Committee. Much credit should be given to these boys for their long hours of work. The highlight of the evening was the choosing of the Sword and Sabre Queen. After tedious elimination and deliberation the judges, Mr. and Mrs. Fiorito, Mr. and Mrs. Barker and Colonel Benz, chose Miss Sandra Heisler, Art Berry's date, Queen. The Queen was crowned by Mrs. Edgar Peppler, B. M. I.'s first Sword and Sabre Queen. Frank Giove, the Battalion Commander, presented the Queen with one dozen red roses, after which the dancing continued. 86 1 5 . 5 54311 A Fi' , , ,I Q gl 53 time -f 4 rf' -w. v'- I 1 1 l P I Q: A 'W :,5: - , 1 , JJ 4.1 + 1 :iff , 1 .

Here snacks can be bought at any time of the day or you can just sit down, relax or amuse yourself with various games. Of course there is always the juke box containing most of the top records which is kept going all the time. The Canteen is made even more pleasant by the smiling faces of Sam and Doris. One can always go to them to have a friendly chat any time of the day. These are the things that the Class of 56 hates to leave behind. So as we must go, we take all these enjoyable memories with us. 90 'W 1 ff? , , X X xa f A , A H. 1 f 4 ,wx W- N hw f D gr N I, nw V9 f N fr A lf!!

Trailing 6-0 at the start of the third quarter, Lee picked up a Peddie fumble, ran 65 yards for a touchdown and calmly kicked the extra point, which eventually proved to be the margin of victory. This win snapped B. M. I.'s 12 game losing streak. B. M. I. - 7 Princeton University Freshmen - 0 Playing in a steady downpour of rain the Little Army up- ended Princeton Frosh in another hard fought battle. Both teams were highlighted by outstanding defensive playing. The teams battled to a stalemate until Lee Elia's punt landed on the Princeton 2 yard line. On Princeton's third play jim Thomas blocked a punt and went for a touchdown. Elia con- verted and the score was 7-0. B. M. I. - 47 St. Benedict's - 0 This game was the start of Little Army's great offensive machine. On the first play Jack Boyd ran 80 yards for the first score. Jack again ran 72 yards the next time B. M. I. got the ball and the touchdown parade was under way. Porter scored on an interception and Peoples, a pass, to close the first half. Elia converted three times. Lee started the second half with a 65 yard touchdown run and one minute later Roy Mallane ran a 60 yard touchdown. Bob Dallas Hnished the scoring and St. Benedict's was finished, 47-0. B. M.

Elia and Boyd reeled 0E three each, Kramer, Thomas and Mallane also scored on a run, pass and interception. B. M. I. held Penn. Military deep in their own territory. Brown and Schwartz played excellent defense throughout the game. Joe Pingitore saved a P. M. C. touchdown when a runner got loose and almost scored. Final score, 60-0. B. M.I - 41 Admiral Farragut - 0 Before a large homecoming crowd the cadets of B. M. I. trampled the Little Navy 41 to 0 for their fifth straight win.

The 'I.V.'s had a good season under the fine coaching of Mr Howard Husker, Mr. Marvin Borst, and Mr. Vincent Fiorito. Cadet Phil Heisler was the boy who scored most of the points for the team. Their record was four wins and losses. The first game was played against Bordentown High School. The Cadets had a 12-0 lead but lost the lead when B. H. S. scored 13 points and won 13-12. Heisler and Sawyer accounted for the two touchdowns. The second game was against Bordentown High again. This time the Cadets got back at Bordentown High for the first game. Phil Heisler scored a touchdown while Gary jacopian tackled a man in the end zone for a safety. B. M. I. won by a score of 9-0. The third game was against Riverside High School in which Phil Heisler led the Cadets to a 14-0 victory. The fourth game was against Lambertville High School. Phil Heisler led the Cadets to a thrilling 7-6 victory. The fifth game was against Trenton High School. Phil Heisler scored two touchdowns again and the Cadets won 14-0. . .

I.'s 12th soccer season saw a new coach and a well drilled team when the first game rolled around. The new coach was Leonard J. Lane who speedily whipped the boys into shape. In our first three games lack of experience hurt us and we lost to Pingry 4-0, Lawrence- ville 7-1 and Peddie 6-2. Then the maroon and white booters came to life by trouncing Pennington School 4-0 with jerry Leshko scoring 2 goals. Our next game was against the highly rated Hamilton eleven and we lost a heartbreaker 2-0. Standouts in the game were George Koval and Bob Weisz who repeatedly stopped the Hamilton attack. Our next game was against Trenton Central High and we were out- classed 5-2. However the team ended the season with a 1-0 win over the highly-rated Hun School eleven. Again Jerry Leshko booted home the goal and the assist went to jimmy Barrett. With many of the boys returning next year our 1956 Soccer outlook is bright. Soccer MR- Y' lgoagl-1 ross Countr The 1955 Cross Country team, despite a poor start, turned in a successful season of four wins and three losses. The team was ably assisted by the coaches, Mr. Paul Hartpence and Mr. Malcolm O'Brien, and the co-captains, cadets Ted Benz and Tom Sitton. The team lost the first meet to a well rounded Lawrenceville team 27-29 and the second meet to a owerful Trenton High School team 22-38. Then they got on their fleet finally by defeating Peddie School by the impressive score of 20-35. The next meet was probably the most thrilling. It was a triangular meet with St. Benedict's, whom we had been unable to beat in the last ten years, and Moorestown. We won it, barely beating St. Benedict's by one point, 37-38-50. After losing the next one to Princeton by a 21-34 score, we bounced back by swamping Mount Holly by the perfect score of 15-40 and George School 21-34. After these meets, we went to the state contest where we finished fifth in a field of eight and to the George School Interscholastics, where we finished third in a field of ten. The top scorers for the team were the co-captains, Ted Benz and Tom Sitton, Harry Griffiths, Bill Evanko, john Finneran and Alex Bickar. Of these six, we lose next year Harry Grifhths, Bill Evanko and Tom Sitton. We think the outlook for next year is very good, for we have many young boys who should start breaking the tape soon. Good luck to the 1956 team. ls! row, left to right: DiGioia, Clark, Taylor, Zarroli.

Wrestling B. M. I. had the most successful wrestling season in its history. Most of the credit belongs to the Hne coaching of Mr. Donald Dunn. This team won all of its matches in the state of New jersey. Peddie was our nrst opponent and we nipped them 22-21. Admiral Farragut was next and the cadets came through again winning 25-22. The heavyweights clinched both of these matches for us. The team went then to George School to wrestle and its winning streak was broken. Stanford Seto and Harvey Katz were the only two to win while Bob Dallas gained a tie for our eight points against George School's 31. The Bryn Athyn Grapplers defeated us 26-14 and Valley Forge de- feated us 25-16. Finally our losing streak came to a close when we met St. Benedict's Prep of Newark and defeated them 20-18. This was the last of the dual meets. The team then went into the state meet which was held at Lawrenceville. Both Howie Kramer and Al Hermonat got by and Stanford Seto and Harvey Katz pinned their men while Bob Dallas won by decisiong therefore, five of our men got in the semi-finals.

The team, as in past years, has shown exceptionally good sportsmanship and respect towards their o ponents and their teammates. B. M. I. can always be prou of the traditions of sportsmanship displayed and upheld throughout the years. The jay-vee team has worked as a closely knit team always striving to better themselves. The team has been coached this year by coach Marvin O. Borst and trainer Al Verdel. It has been noted that the tireless coaches have brought many a possible defeat to a hard won victory. The cadets who are returning next year to play on the jay-vee team are looking forward to a good season and to work again under their able coaches. SCHEDULE B. M. I. ....,. ..... 3 8 P. M.

The 1956 Rifle team had a rough time of it this year, because of their inexperience even though it accomplished something valuable and enduring, under the circumstances. The cadets have acquired a great working knowledge of riflery and, most of all, team spirit. The team is under the close supervision of Sergeant First Class Conradi, who has coached B. M. I.'s rifle teams in the ast. In each of the shoulder to shoul er matches, ten cadets Bred and the top five scores were totaled to compose the team score. The top five for B. M. I. were cadets Bartholomew, West, Baxter, Luker and Sanders. The second five competitors were Mezaros, Aiello, Szyjan, Barnett and Brick, C. Although the squad had several meets postponed the spirit remained high and the coach kept working for the other matches. All in all the team can be proud of their accom- plishments. i f ' -si-fs.

This year's track was hindered by the great lack of good field men. Yet, the boys managed to break even, winning two and losing two. The wins were double wins over Mount Holly, 49-19 and 44V2- 23V2, and the losses were to New Brunswick, 49-19 and to Peddie, 44-24. In the State meet the B. M. I. Track team placed fourth in the State, running against such teams as Lawrenceville, Delbarton and Peddie. The team owes a lot to our coaches, Mr. M. B. O'Brien and Mr. P. G. Hartpence. They helped pull Winter Track us through the rough spots by their guidance and spirit. The mainstays of the team this year were Tom Sitton, who set the record in the 70 yard dash at 7.1 seconds, Ted Benz in the mile and 880, Harry Griffiths in the 880, George Kowal in the shotput, and Jerry Leshkou in the sprints. Next year, however, everyone will be back except Tom Sitton and Harry Griffiths. So the best of luck to our next year's team, may success crown your efforts.

Tennis MR. GEORGE H. LUCAS The 1955 Tennis Team, although it didn't win any matches, gained valuable experience which will help the boys next year. After only a week of prac- tice they played their first match against Perkiomen and lost 9-0. Next came their best effort of the season, a 5-4 loss to Trenton Catholic. In the George School Interscholastics Harold Westcott took fourth place for B. M. I. In a return match with Trenton Catholic we came out on the short end of a 6-3 Coach score. In their last four matches the boys really tried their best, but successive losses to Peddie 8-1, George School 9-O, Pingry 8-1 and Trenton Central High 9-0 ended the season. The boys tried their hardest in every match played and even though they lost, the spirit of the team was high all through the season. With Edgar Brick, Mike Szyjan, Bob Weisz, Harry Westcott and Carl Meiser returning next year, the outlook for 56 is bright.

Baseball team under the fine coaching of Mr. D. A. Dunn and Mr. Fred Hildebrandt had a worth-while season with many new boys learning the rights and wrongs about baseball. The first game for the unseasoned squad was with the New jersey State Home for Boys The Cadets fought hard but the lack of experi- ence caused one to be chalked up in the loss column. The following game with Pennington brought a win back for the Cadets to even . . . . h them u in the won-lost column. During the remaining part of t e P season things got rough for the Cadets. With one year of training behind them, next year's team will be an experienced one, having learned a lot from this season. smith, Battaglia, Suntheimer.

After losing their first match 3-2 against Trenton Catholic, the Cadets whipped Woodrow Wilson of Cam- den by the scores of 8-1 and 9-0. The last two matches of the year were heartbreakers for the little soldiers as they lost to Pennsbury, 5-lik md 6-3. Myles Bass and jim Barrett finished the season with 4 wins and one loss while jim Baxter and Art Berry had 3 and 2 records. The members of the team in the order that they played are as follows: 1, Myles Bassg 2, jim Barrettg 3, Art Berryg 4, jim Baxterg 5, Paul Edelsong 6, Buck Place.
