X Foreword Once again the realization of dreams has been fulfilled through Commencement. Once again a class leaves its Alma Mater and turns to face the problems of the world with hope and confidence. As the year runs its course, it is difficult to realize that it is now our turn to depart. lt seems like yesterday many will say. But actually, we, the Class of '57, have come a long way since yesterday, For the past four years, through the hard and consci- entious work of our teachers, we have been carefully and diligently prepared for the ch lenges in store. Now we are ready to me the future. As we depart, we can only hc to live up to the name of being a graduate Bordentown Military lnstitute. Probably, we as a complete class, w never again assemble. But that does not me we will never remember the true friends t we have made. So we, the Senior Class, lei this book as a remembrance of our part B.M. I. The Editor lvl fl!

I have again watched the Cadet Corps as they put on for the parents and guests the ceremony that has become a tradition at B.M.l. Your class has played a lead- ing part in an unusually successful occasion. Most of you have been genuinely happy. I have seen it in your faces. Will you let me use' the experiences of this day to point out the reasons why, not simply on one day, but throughout an entire life, real happiness, real suc- cess comes to men. First, you have had the courage to tackle some hard tasks and the determination to see them through. Second, most of your activities today have been teamwork in a worthwhile program aimed to give pleasure to others and honor to your school. Finally, you have been giving not getting. Not only young people, but too many adult men and women seem completely confused about life 's goals, Yet it is just this simple: Never mind who gets the credit N it is the success of the team that brings real good to everyone on it, and benefit to the world. Any man by himself is a mighty small animal. Consider also the fact that no man was ever honored for what he got but for what he gave, and if people have seemed to show honor to the strutters and th tors of history, those honors ceased the m how selfish the dictator reall We V71 e dicta- oment people found out y was. ay feel that Washington is too far from 79 anything: but his courageous, unself' teach us most of the th' by th 57 to tell us ish and devoted life still can ings men need to know who intend to do right emselves and by America. You will better understand what l mean when you are twenty-five years older, and l hope for each one of you the useful and happy life that can come with that knowledge.

Their job is to assist and support the officers in every way possible, and to uphold the traditions of the Bordentown Military lnstitute. Each NCO is bound by oath to perform his duties faithfully and earnestly. This year the Cadet Corps has had luck in having a very efficient group of NCO's. Each NCO has done his part to the best of his ability in assisting the officers and administration of the school. Each one of the NCO's has started from the bottom as a private upon the arrival of his first day at BMI. Since then they have been promoted several times, until they reached the grade of Sergeant. Every time that a cadet is promoted, a greater amount of responsibility is placed in his trust, which is invaluable in his training for leadership. We, the Class of '57, wouldlike to salute the non-commissioned offi- cers for a job well done. homas McCracken, this year's Ably supervised by Lieutenant Colonel T Battalion staff is made up of the Battalion Commander-Cadet Major Stan- Officer Cadet Captain Cary Jacopian, ford Seto, the Battalion Executive - the Adjutant-Second Lieutenant Herbert Benz, Jr., and the Assistant Ad- jutant-lvlaster Sergeant Edward White.

Under the direction of Tactical Adviser S.F.C. Charles R. Conradi, a real soldier in the true sense of the word, the virtues of discipline and confi- dence were instilled in all of us. Throughout the year the unit, with all its glamor and pride, exhibited precision to the respect of all. They reached their highlight during our traditional celebration on Wash- ington's Birthday when they performed the Old Army Close Order Drill formerly un- known except in its yearly appearance West Point. The members of the unit are selec' from the Corps as a whole, with rank and o standing traits of scholarship, drill and spoi manship being the deciding factors in sel tion.

Under the very able direction of Mr, Mor- ris Smith, we have learned many new selec- tions which have added a great deal of variety to our unit. When we speak of the drill exhibitions of the band, all the credit should go to Captain John Finneran, our company commander. His spirit instilled in us a great feeling of pride in our unit, which has been shown every- where on the campus. lt was not at all strange to see the band at many of our football games, both home and away.

In the past year, B Company has been represented in every major sport, activity, and military competition in the school life. lt is these cadets who have made B Company the Honor Company. The person who has done the greatest amount of work to make B Company l957 Tops is Sergeant First Class Charles Con- radi, the tactical officer. The company owes its success to his advise, initiative and help- ful attitude. ,.s COMPANY B Another winter has passed and as the balmy spring winds blow the tidings of Com- mencement so near and yet so far, the seventy- sixth page in the log of Company C has been set to print. Company Commander, Ca- det Captain Robert Dallas and platoon lead- ers First Lieutenant Robert Peppler and First Lieutenant Michael Candelori are its authors. Our boasts of winning the best company banner and the inter-company trophy are echoes of a past year, but our spirit was in- extinguishable and our rallying point through- out the year. Our hearts were set high hoping to repeat l956's year of domination, but our spirit did not break when we finished next 1 the best. Our familiar cry of, We will get you ne: time, seems to be an echo of the baseba team we all know so well, but it only showe that superficial results could do little to brea the spirit of a real organization. Tactical Officer, Andrew P. Kritsberg deliberate and precise organization was bright light in our over-all picture. We Ieax with a burning desire to return some day ' view an organization with the spirit and coi fidence that once was ours. COMPANY C 1 ' pri, L ' Hit :N 78 A. inns!! K.

LITERARY SOCIETY Once again, the Literary Society members, under the guidance of Mrs. Morris Smith, have enjoyed a rewarding year while watch- ing the Literary Society spread its branches wider and wider in the B.M.l. halls. This year, the names of these members were selected for office: President, John Arthur, Vice President, Myron Levensong Secretary, Michael Szyjang Treasurer, Theodore White, Literary Editor, Philip Rowley, Publicity Editor, Jaroslaw Leshko, Food Committee Chairman, John Toth. Among the important accomplishments of the Literary Society was the revisal and adoption of the Constitution, and the furnish- ing of awards for the best literary efforts. These awards will be presented at Commer ment in form of medals Ilst Place: C-1 2nd Place: Silverl. More on the social side, the society held many meetings during which the m bers were able to hear some of the B.l Faculty address the society. The outstan. meeting, however, was when Miss Vero Carey of Trenton Public Library, gave her nual speech which consisted of reviewir few books of interest. The society also h. representative group on the Washing D. C. trip.

This year a group of seven cadets attend- ed the Buck Hill Falls Conference from Feb. Sth to the lOth. This group representing the B.lVl.l. Cadet Corps was highly commended for active par- ticipation in the informal discussion groups. The topic of the conference was Living Re- igionf' They returned from the meeting with an increased knowledge and appreciation of 'he importance of those intangibles which nake for better manhood. Those who attended the conference with Mr. Colby, our Moderator, were: Robert Dal- las, William Brick, Robert Peppler, Charles Brick, Philip Rowley, Edgar Brick and John Finneran. The Y.M.C.A. is well known in the school for planning and taking part in several of the Sunday Vesper services. The officers in the organization this year were Cary Jacopian, President, Charles Brick, Vice President, Robert Dallas, Secretary, and John Finneran, Treasurer. Under the spotlight of our social activities was the work of a group of night-watchers, known as the Decorating Committee. They labored into the waning hours of the night to create the crepe paper fantasies for the enjoyment of the following night's dancers, Following the precise directions of chairman Pat Morgan, assistants Cus Semon, Russ Henderson, John Sel- lyei, Carl Meiser and Johnny Carpenter, along with many others, made our dances just a little bit of dreamland. The advice and supervision of Mr. Lyndon Colby was monumental to a successful season in all aspects, The committee wishes to take this op- portunity to express their sincere appreciation for his unfailing guidance. The desirable returns of hard work, in a select group, is the fruit ol their labors and we all know that their ability to work together will be car- ried to even greater heights in their quest of higher education. So when the lights have dimmed for the last time and the dance floor is torn from its swinging partners Bordentown will always remember these young men and their contributions.

The Clee Club was under the able direc- tion of Mr, David Yolton, who was a post grad- uate at Westminster Choir College at Prince- ton, New Jersey. This was Mr. Yolton's sec- ond year as conductor of the Bordentown Military Institute Clee Club and has done a marvelous job. This year's Clee Club rendered several different varieties of songs, a large portion of which were spirituals. Several ot the members went to Princeton University to hear the Westminster Choir sing the last of their concerts scheduled for this year. f is i, P' 'iii ks 4 avg? fft A MR.

After this an enjoyable lunch was served and at l :OO the program be- gan. After the Colors were presented, Dr. Har- old Morrison Smith greeted everyone with a short welcoming speech. Then came the an- nual company competition for Honor Com- pany. While the judges were tallying the scores the Junior School put on an exhibition drill, which was very well executed. All the old boys were then called to the floor for the old boys drill. It was a great treat for the o boys to drill again under the command 1 Marine Lt. Rudolph Faust, B.M.l. '5l.

The answer is very evident, the canteen, of course. There you may purchase food, relax, or amuse yourself with various games. Oh, let's not forget the ever present juke-box which contains all the top hits of the day. Naturally the boys keep it going continuous! Our canteen is enlightened by the smilii faces of Sam and Doris, two people who a ways have good, sound advice to anyone see ing it.

For the second con- secutive year the Little Army brought home an un- blemished record. B.M.l. was on everybody's tongue. Plays were rein- acted, by the spectators. Who will ever forget the St. Francis game? They were satisfied with a tie, and it seemed as though we were stuck with one. The 'ball was snapped from center, and Luisi dropped back for the last pass of the game, for the gun had sounded. Seeing no empty hands Luisi started on a run that one would read in a Story Book -The 30-20-lO-5 and over!

ALL lynx DeMasi lAll Statel The Pennington game was aggravated by both weather and score. When the half ended the Little Army left the field with two touchdowns hanging over them, What was to blame? The weather, any individual, a certain play, no one knew. The locker room was silent. Though no one could explain the reason, they knew they had to win. When the whistle started the third quarter, an unforgettable drive by a determined team was under way. The goal line was crossed twice, but would have been in vain had it not been for Dick Golden Toe DeMasi, whose two conversions ended the game in a Zl to I9 slate in favor of B.lVl.l. To start to summarize all the game would be a book in itself, Surely the grid season of '56 will be echoing in the halls of B.lvl.l. as one of the greatest. :aug Q Henderson Jacopian lu '-'rf Meiser Bray 6 nl . ,L I , Peppler Cole Blllw Krehl 3.x 'Y ,J We take a back seat to none.

FOOTBALL The Bordentown Military lnstitute Junior Varsity Football Team, under the able coach- ing of Mr. Howard Husker and Mr. Marvin Borst, sported a one and four record. Although the J.V.'s did not have a winning season, it was one of building. Several green, inexperi- enced boys showed up for the first practice, but by the end of the season Mr. Husker had them looking like a fine ball club, With only two weeks' practice, the first game with Bordentown High School resulted in a l2-6 score for B.H.S. Cadet Kenny Paul scored the only T.D., late in the 4th quarter, with a 45 yard run around right end. Allentown High School J.V.'s fell to a determined B.M.l. squad, I9-6, Roger Marks tallied twice for the cadets while Bob Brenner scored once. Lam- bertville H. S. J,V., stopped the little soldiers, I3 to 6. Roger Marks scored B.M.l.'s only T.D. Ewing H. S. J.V.'s gave B.M.l, its worst defeat of the year, 32-l4g fullback Dick Sawe yer scored B.M.l.'s only T.D.'s. The last game proved to be the most exciting one of the sea- son. Bordentown H, S. J.V.'s stopped B.M.l., I9-l4, This was a close game and the High School pulled it out of the fire.

Cier lcoachl. This year, the B.lVl.l. soccer team opened its season under a new coach, Mr. Harry S. Cier. Although the Little Army booters had a losing season of 2 won, 5 lost, 2 tie, they bet- tered last year's record. Despite the efforts of our most valuable player, Jerry Leshko, a member of the i955 All State team, the team could not manage to run up a winning record. Thanks to our goalie, Andy Zielinski, the games that the team lost were by very close margins. Loss of star fullback, Fred Bingler, and injuries acquired by other starters, de- prived the soccermen of a few more victories. Playing against Lawrenceville School, the Prep School Champs, and Hamilton High, the SOCCER MR. H. CIER Coach Group 4 Champs, the B.M.l, booters put up a very close fight but lost both times by iden- tical scores of l-O. However, in the next few contests, the Little Army soccerists began to roll. They tied the strong Pingry team IO-Ol and Hun School ll-l l. Afterwards, the team began to click while smearing Pennington School by a score of 5-O, and then defeating the stub- born Princeton High team by l-0. After the season, Jerry Leshko was again selected to the All State team l'56l. This was all due to the fine coaching that he receivec from coach Stan Cier and to the wonderfu cooperation that he received from Captair Camelio Craine, Jerry Bojczuk, Mike Szyjar and the rest of the team. I :ROSS COUNTRY The I956 cross-country team, hampered -y the loss of three Iettermen and the loss of returning Ietterman, John Finneran, through wedical reasons, had to bear the brunt of a sam without a good third man. The team, wough well-coached by Mr. Paul G. Hart- ence and Mr. Malcolm B. O'Brien, ended up 'ith a one-win, five losses, one tie record in ual meets, a 4th place in the New Jersey tate Prep School meet, and a 7th place in me fourth annual George School Invitation Ieet.

The team was led by Ollie Baker who always scored high in the double figures. Bob Flynn trailed Baker and was also one of the high scoring men on the team. High praise and credit should go to each member of the squad which was com- posed of Luisi, Mazza, Pietoso, Jacopian, De- Masi, Short and Quentz. For the first time since i922 Lawrence- ville was beaten by a score of 62 to 46 which was enjoyed by all, especially everyone who saw the game play by play, When the Little Army team met Pennington they played hard but they lost after a spirited fourth period of play, coming back three weeks later, Bob Flynn and Ollie Baker upset the Red Raiders vaulted machine. Each member of this year's team tried to do his level best under the fine coaching of: Mr. Robert Hoehn, Mr. Marvin Borst and Mr. Albert Verdel. Each game won showed the result of skills developed in practice and the hard work and persistence of each player. Ol- lie Baker was awarded All Prep and All Area honors while Bob Flynn was named to the second teams of both All-Star squads. MR.

Four of last year's lettermen, with a year of valuable experience behind them, returned to' this year's lineup. One factor, which proved nearly fatal a few times, was the lack of depth on the bench. There was enough for only five men on the court and one on the bench, in spite of it all they came through without any serious trouble. A key factor in all their wins was the sweat and toil put out by their able- bodied coach, Mr. Marvin Borst. Although most everyone had a year of experience, there was and still is, much more for them to learn. The lineup consisted of Ken Smith at cen- ter, Dick Sawyer and Bill Schoenfeld at the forward spots and Bill Kuhl, Hugh Burgland and Jack Bray alternating at guard. We praise them for their fine season and wish them suc- cess on whatever team they play next year. 8 JUNIOR VARSITY MR. MAQIONSLI: BORST SCORES Admiral Farragut ...................

To spite their inexperience all the players showed the spark that will in two years augment B.M.l.'s fine varsity club. The team led by cadets John Radke, Morris Rudolph, Bill Bragg, and Tony Pingitore showed the fine sportsmanship that has al- ways been a characteristic feature of the cadets' teams, It has also to be said in their favor that they never lost a game by more than four points.

Although they sometimes deviated from the rules that would be considered cor- rect they were at all times a credit to their fellow cadets. Alfred Zarroli, Gene Spiegal and Rocky Kaufman led the team with the spark that is necessary to have a successful season.

Revenge-that was the watch word of Captain George Nelson's wrestling team. ln one of the most successful seasons in a dec- ade, the cadet grapplers collected S wins in seven matches, got one state championship, Robert Dallas ll77l and three second places, lodney Seto llO5l, Stanford Seto ll22l, and Klan Haase ll67l, in the sixth N.J.l.S.A.A. ournament. This year's team was built on four of last fear's grapplers, R. Seto, S. Seto, who was the 55 lb. State Champion last year, A. Haase, ind R. Dallas, who was the I67 lb. State Ihampion last year, In addition to these there vere Mike Cranbois lll4l, Charles Barnes l29l, Joe Hess ll35l, Tony Aiello ll4Ol, Bill Criest ll45l, Jack Barnett ll56l, and 'oth Dick Mahoney and Mike Boyd at heavy- veight. The cadets got their season off to an aus- icious start by sinking Admiral Farragut 26- 9, then in quick succession fell Lawrenceville 5-24, and Hun School 28-l8. With a week's reparation, the cadets traveled to George chool whom they trounced 26-l8. The vic- Jrious Maroon and White sailed smoothly ito the Peddie school match-MAEL- TROMF-and emerged at the low end of a 5-8 score, A week later, Valley Forge racked ie cadets 30-IO. After doing an extensive ferhaul and conditioning, Coach Nelson sent is proteges out to conquer St. Benedict's Prep l-20. The tournament competition placed Jrdentown fourth, in a field of eight prep zhools, with 26 points. WRESTLING CAPT.

A., Brick, E., Havey, A. With a full schedule of top-flight com- petition, the rifle team for i956-i957 set to work a few weeks after the beginning of school to prepare for a tough season. Although more than thirty cadets came out on the first day, only ten had to be select- ed to compose the team. Through two weeks of careful screening and elimination, S.F.C. Conradi, the coach, finally chose the cream of the crop. ln the course of the season, a few of the P matches had to be cancelled, but some of the high-spots of the season were the two match- es with Admiral Farragut which were both won by the Middiesg however, B.lvl.l. retali- ated when it won over Admiral Farragut of Florida. The Cadets also scored two wins over 'N Haddonfield High School. 5 The team spirit and cooperation gained this year is something to be envied. Lost mat- ches didn't seem to dampen the enthusiasm or determination of the team in the slightest. Through the experienced coaching of S,F.C. Conradi, the team has acquired the es- sential factors of marksmanship, team spirit and sportsmanship that will go a long way ir making the team of i958 a highly successfu one. High scorers this year were Charles Luker Kenneth Meszariols, Edgar Brick, Michael Szyi pi jan and Richard avey. 5-F-C- CHARLES CONRA Top-notch support was furnished by George Gould, Leamon, Spaeth, Brick, W. Nagy R. A., and Ward T. R. Cadet P. Nasi was the efficient manager and morale booster VV ' , A UNK, Q6 .ve This year's winter track team, with a fine showing of athletic ability and school spirit, finished its season undefeated, although it was tied twice. As is usual most of the credit nust be given to the cadets, but we recognize that our success was due to the fine coaching af Mr. Paul Hartpence, and Mr. Malcolm D'Brien. The team won a total of five dual meets and tied two dual meets. Ted Benz set a new 3.M.l. record in the State Meet for the indoor nile, 4:3-4.3. Pat Morgan set a new B.M.l. 'ecord in the 60 high hurdles at the State Vleet, 8.1. Bojczuk set a new school record n the 60 low hurdles, and tied the 70 low uurdles school record. We find that the top point-getters were MR. P. G. HARTPENCE WINTER TRACK lll Ted BGHZ-SQVZ, l2l Bojczuk-52, l3l Pat Morgan-49V2, l4l Dick Mahoney-39, l5l Bickley-30. Of course, the highlight of this winter's track season was the sixth state indoor track meet held at Lawrenceville, February 20th. ln this B.M.l. placed fourth with a total of I7 points. Ted Benz placed first and set a new B.M.l. record for the indoor mile. Bickley placed third in the 880. Pat Morgan placed fourth in the 60 high hurdles and set a new B.M.l. record. Sellyei placed fifth in the 60 high hurdles. Bojczuk placed fifth in the 60 low hurdles. Lesko, Morgan, Brenner, and Bojczuk placed fifth in the eight lap relays. With this year's season and its successes we look forward to next year with Don Rama- ley and Mike Kraft as our co-captains. lst Row: Leshko, J., Brenner, R., Kraft, M.

Finishing with a 8-l record, the Spring track season successfully came to an end. The team was by far a surprise to everyone. Re- turning from the year before were a few var- sity lettermen. Everyone started the season practicing hard and ended equally as hard. One of the outstanding trackmen was Tom Sitton, a senior. Tom participated in four events of every meet. His big event was the 220 yard dash. The other events he quite often captured were the lOO, 440 and the broad jump. Ted Benz also helped greatly in providing a fine record for a prep school track team. A few of the sophomores and the juniors who were faithful contenders and scored quite frequently were: Bob Brenner, John Arthur, John Finneran, George Kowal and Jerry Lesh- ko. We must not forget two of the most im- portant individuals, our coaches. This team would never have completed such a splendid ami.- in-nur:-1 record without the combined help of Mr O'Brien and Mr. Hartpence. Throughout th year these men have put their lives into trac teams of B.lVl.l., and we, the boys who hav composed the team, want them to know hox much we appreciate their help. Thank Coaches!

Husker lOutfield Coachl, Evanko, W., Thomas, J., Mr. A. Verdel lPitching Coachl. The Bordentown Military Institute Var- sity Baseball Team ended its 7lst season with a I2-2 record. The fine coaching of Mr. Mar- vin Borst, Head Coach, Mr. Albert Verdel, Pitching Coach and Mr. Howard Husker, Out- field Coach, proved effective in one of B.M.l.'s most successful Baseball Teams. The Little Army team started the season with a bang by beating Burlington High School IO-O. ln quick order Trenton Central H. S. 5-3, St. Benedict's Prep 6-O, Pennington School 4-2, and Admiral Farragut I3-I fell to the mighty B.M.l. sluggers. La ayette College Freshmen stopped B.M.l.'s 6 and O record in a close 4 to 2 game at the little army field. Bouncing back from their first defeat, B.M.l. clubbed Hamilton High School 7 to I. Again St. Bee's and Pen- nington Prep lost to the little soldiers 7-O and 2-O respectively. Valley Forge proved easy for the mighty army team rolling over it by a I5-I score. Hun School put B.M.I. into the losing column again by a meager I to 2 score. Roy Mallane did quite a bit of heavy hit- ting for the little army team. He hit 344, and had 2 homeruns. He was an outstanding in- fielder and did a lot for the team. When the Newark News and the Newark Star Ledger published their all state baseball team selections B.M.l. found three of its out- standing players on it, Lee Elia and Bill Evan- ko made Ist string, while Roy Hallane placed on the 3rd team. The last game of the season proved to bl the most spectacular game of the season. BiI Evanko, B.M.l.'s big right hander, shut ou the little navy 8 to O. This was the only no run no-hit game of the season. The fine pitching department of the littl soldiers was a great factor in their winnin season. The tremendous hurling of Bill Evar ko and Phil Heisler led B.M.l. to I2 and record. Bill Evanko had a record of 6 and I, h allowed 27 hits, I3 walks, struck out 81 an had a E.R.A. .O57. Bill had I no-hitter an I one-hitter. Phil Heisler had a record of 6 and I. l-l allowed I3 hits, I2 walks and struck out 5 and had an E.R.A. of .32. Phil had 3 om hitters during the season. The Batting department was led by Le Elia with an average of 640. He played I games, hit I6 out of 25 times, had 2 hon runs, 3 triples and 2 doubles. Lee was an e: cellent infielder and an outstanding all arou.r player. This was Coach Borst's I6th season wi the little army team. He has a fine record which many prep school coaches envy. He h l4O wins, 3 ties and 67 losses. Sa ,X S S The J.V. Baseball coaching staff, consist- ing of Mr. Donald Dunn and Mr. Robert Wood did a great job in coaching the team to a successful season. When practice started at the beginning of the season, the group of boys that were out for the team, were out to learn. When the season ended, they had done just that. Al- though the cadets did not end up their season in the win column, they had a successful sea- son. With a year's training behind them the cadets should have a better season next year. J. V.

TENNIS The i956 tennis team started its season in a dismal fashion by dropping two straight matches-to Perkiomen School l5-43, and Hun School l6-31, but then doing an about face they defeated Trenton Catholic High School l7V2-l Vgl. Again, after this victory they lost two consecutive matches to Peddie School, l6-33, and Trenton Central High School l9-Ol. Valley Forge was their next and last opponent, and the B.lVl.l. team, facing them with determination to win, defeated them l7-27. ln all probability they would probably have had a good season if it had not rained. Because of the rain matches with Trenton Catholic High School, and Pingry School were cancelled. The coach was Mr. George Lucas. The team captains were-Edgar Brick, and Har- old Westcott. Other first stringers were, Mike Szyjan, Bob Weisz, Jim L'abbe, Carl Meiser, and Leon Acrich. 113 WHO'S WHO Most Popular Best Athlete Best Looking N...- ...... ....-.-......-.nu Most likely to succeed ......
