He encouraged the formation of clubs and intramural activities to occupy the cadets in their free time. General Hurst also encouraged the beginning of Academy traditions to form a more organized and elite Corps of Cadets. e ---1 , ,-W Brigadier General Hunter Hurst, USMC fRetj MillRllNlE lltlllill l 4 xiii Xgqiiiif XJ' SUPERINTENDENT'S M SSAGE The 1969-70 academic year has been the best yet at HMA. Standardized test results show a higher level of academic achievement than in previous years. Our MCJROTC unit received the highest possible rating of 'Noteworthyn from the Inspector General of the Marine Corps. Our balanced athletic program was highlighted by a basketball team which was undefeated in regular season play. Our social program offered more variety than before. All seven of our post-graduate cadets in the Naval Academy Foundation Program were accepted by the Naval Academy. Our eighteen graduating First Classmen are being accepted by a variety of the better colleges across the country, including the University of Maryland, V.M.l., The Citadel. Auburn, Tulane. Louisiana State, Ohio State, the University of Texas, Texas Christian University, Texas A K M, Arizona State, and the University of Southern California. Finally, and perhaps most indicative of all, an unprecedented 805 of those cadets invited to reenroll for next year already have reenrolled. All members of the M A family--the Board of Trustees, the staff and faculty, the Corps of Cadets, parents, and alumni--can take justifiable pride in the above accomplish- ments, but these accomplishments are a tribute most of all to the Corps of Cadets itself, to the outstanding leadership provided by the Class of l969, and to the pioneering example of the 'Plank Ownersn who showed the way. To all I extend my congratulations, appreciation, and best wishes for future success. ,E. H. HURST Brigadier General, USMC CRetj Superintendent Ll -f
