These were the begin- ning years of a great depression and the man needed money, but to see his dream come true, he had much more to conquer than the lack of money. He needed that of which he had an abundance: faith, honor, and courage. This is the story of that dream and its fulfillment, . . . . . . and it began in a summer hotel in Devon, Pennsylvania. It began as an architect of that time would picture it, in black and white: Q. We 7 e-Q, NL . Vkz.

In the preceeding pages, we have seen some of the outstanding scenes from the years which have passed, and in the pages to come, one will see what has transpired in our year. Now, WE ARE PASSING IN REVIEW. What we have done and the men we have hon- ored are in the past, but the memories of THIS YEAR f OUR YEAR, can never be dimmed in our hearts. To borrow from the Silver Anniversary issue of the Crossed Sabres, 1928-29 were the years of Decison and Disasterg 1930-34 were the Formative Years, 1935-40, the Years of Growthg 1941-45, the War Years, 1946-52, the Years of Expansion. What do we call our year? We have expanded, yes, we have made decisions, yes, we have grown, yesg but what has been done to make this class different from the other thirty-nine that have gone before us? WHA T CLA IM T0 FAME HA VE WE? It is all well and good for us to look back on other years and place titles on them, but is it for us to look back just one small year and decide what we are great for 3 we of the Crossed Sabres think not. We must let those who come after us decide into what category we belong. Therefore, before God and the world, we PASS IN REVIEW, PROUDL Y, and may we be included in greatness in years to come. New Cadets attend their first Second Mess formation in good shape for the second day of training. 40th Anniversary While New Cadet holds some of basic issue, Cadet Second Captain Gerard Brangenberg contemplates the loss of some hair. L flax? AV H el'e 1 Pass n Review The fortieth year of Valley Forge Military Academy began with the arrival of the New Cadets. Unruly hair, excited parents, puzzled faces and high hopes characterized the first day of the New Cadets' arrival. These were to be the future members of the Corps of Cadets, but now they were simply boys that had first to be molded into young men. Processing, haircuts, uniform fitting, and confusion were all elements of indoctrination as the New Cadet Detail slowly, but surely, shaped the minds and postures of the plebes. For some of us, the experience was also a new and challeng- ing one. Those of us invited back to participate in the detail were all full of high hopes and dreams of pips and sabres. With Opening Day Ceremonies marking the official start of Valley Forge's fortieth anniversary year, we all realized our duties to instruct the raw recruits, just as we ourselves were instructed when we, too, were first plunged into the world of military without any warning. The slow summer days of drilling dragged on for both new cadets and future officers. There was little time for questions, but we all wondered if we would pass the test and qualify to be leaders of the Corps, For the plebes, it was a time of despair and frustra- tion. While some learned the rudiments of drill quicker than others, the rest were desperately attempting to differentiate right face from port arms. Time gradually wore on, but with the advent of the make- list, boredom and frustration were replaced with anxiety and anticipation. s f fm- J s M 4 , ' s 1 I I 3 , 1 Q K -gf s ,K s Below: Dick l-lulkow and Mike Livingston combine efforts to stop Wood- berry-Forrest ball carrier in game of over-whelming victory by the Trojans: the first ofa long line ofunbeaten games in 1968.

Pass n Review With the advent of the Make-Listf' the members of the New Cadet Detail received their respective assignments and ranks. The Non-Commissioned Officers were also instituted and the guidons of the individual companies issued to the newly-made company commanders, who then turned them over to their supply sergeants. School was now upon us and Valley Forge made ready to begin its fortieth academic year in earnest. Aside from school and regular military duties, the Corps of Cadets also had other responsibilities. One of these was the dedication of the Army-Navy museum in Pemberton House. Members of the Corps, dressed in Revolutionary uniforms, carried the standards of the original thirteen colonies and added much color to the ceremonies. During the AUSA Convocation at Washington, D.C., where Valley Forge was represented by Cadets Michael Gray, Gerard Brangenberg, William Gower, and Gary Roughhead, Col. Josephine Redenius, the Director of Public Relations and Development at V.F., was honored with the Anthony J. Drexel Biddle Medal for outstanding service to the AUSA. General Baker, Superintendent of Valley Forge, was ho- nored by the Queen's Guards at the Spectrum in Philadel- phia when he took the review of their mounted and cavalry units. Valley Forge Cadets in attendance were very proud and impressed. Throughout this book we will present scenes from the olders days ofV.F.: a fall parade.

Cadet Captain Richard Loesche welcomes 1968 plebe as full member of Corps ofCadets on Recognition Day. Military Science weekend this fall featured First Aid as its theme. Here a group of instructors demonstrate all types of first aid available to soldiers in the lield. With the coming of the busy pre-Christmas season, the en- tire Corps was looking forward eagerly to the holidays. Such trivial, yet at the time, seemingly important, thoughts such as when the first snow would fall, whether or not we would get extra days leave, and so on passed through our minds. Term papers were hurriedly compiled in last minute bursts of frenzy and students began to daydream in class. Those who never quite attended class mentally were already on leave. The New Cadets had their day ofglory on Recognition Day. The Corps passed by in review in acknowledgement of their newfound status as full-fledged Cadets of Valley Forge and the old men passed in a line and traditionally shook the hands ofthose who would carry on the principles of V.F. Soon after recognition, Valley Forge alumni returned to their Alma Mater to conduct the annual Occupational Semi- nars. The purpose of this program was to give Cadets var- ious ideas about the workings of different possible careers in store for them in their future life. Cadets signed up for var- ious seminars conducted by past members of the Long Gray Line and gained much knowledge about their prospective fields of interest. Military Science weekend this year stressed the importance of first aid techniques. On Saturday morning, we all rolled out of bed at 0600 for two days of field training. There were drills in which Cadets were submitted to Tear Gas with and without gas masks. We never want to get involved with THAT STUFF again if we can help it. There were two specialist teams here for the first aid train- ing: one from Fort Dix with a new Field Ambulance and another from Valley Forge General Hospital to demonstrate treating of broken bones. Another team from the hospital showed us how to administer artificial respiration and heart massage and we tried them both. On Sunday morning after rising at 0530 we were bussed to Valley Forge Park where we practiced in the field what we had done at the post on Saturday and then formed for a Chapel Service in the Field. In the afternoon, the J. C. Ca- dets gave a demonstration of a mock battle and the medics in action. At Occupational Seminar, Alumni Edward Elizondo, '5lg and Gerald Fornwald, '55, speak to a group ofCadets on engineering as a career. 40th Anniversary Cadets of the First, Second, and Third Classes listen to former Cadets, Dr. Albert Hunt, '30 and Dr. Thomas Ginley, '42, speak on Medicine and Re- lated Sciences. ass n Review One of the many benefits the Corps of Cadets receivesfrom the Alumni Association is the annual Occupational Seminar. The format of the seminars was of the simple conference- lecture type. Different programs were discussed in varied locations of the post by alumni who were engaged in a vast number of professions and vocations. The former Cadets worked mainly in teams of two, giving the highlights of their respective careers and fielding questions from the Cadets in the audience. The program was a successful one and we learned much from first-hand information. As preparations began for the Ring Dance, the National Honor Society held its annual fall dinner meeting in the Cadet Mess. The guest speaker at this convocation was none other than General Medenbach, the Commandant of Ca- dets. The General's talk featured his impressions of his many stays in Austria, during three trips abroad and as a United States Army officer. A pleasant change of pace from the rigors of day to day life at V.F. occurred when Colonel Robert V. Woodside pre- sented a recital in the Alumni Chapel. Cadets, parents, and faculty spent part of the afternoon listening to organ compo- sitions written by such masters as Bach, Reger, Messiaen, and Donato. New progress was made in the Athletic Department when Colonel William G. Orme, formerly the Tactical Officer of DM Troop, became the new Director of Athletics. Colonel Orme, quite an athlete in his own right, replaced Lt. Colonel Kenneth Davis who had resigned. Several honors were due Valley Forge as the hard-as-nails Trojans finished an undefeated season k the second time in V. F. history. The Superintendent was showered with awards for his outstanding accomplishments. The Gover- nor's Committee of 100,000 Pennsylvanians presented Gen- eral Baker with a citation for State Excellence in the Field of Education. He also received the Silver Star Medal from the Union League of Philadelphia for outstanding citizen- ship. At the Fort Dix A.U.S.A. annual dinner, General Baker was awarded a plaque for outstanding service to his state, his country, and the people of the world. The Superintendent chats with First Captain Michael Gray at the Fort Dix Chapter A.U.S.A. Dinner meeting. Above: Governor Raymond P. Shafer and General Baker Qleftj with Mr. Homer Bigart, Mr. Robin Roberts, Dr. J, Presper Eckert, and Dr. John W.

The Baron Von Steuben Military Society and the National Honor Society inducted new members in somber ceremonies in the Chapel. By then, Thanksgiving Day had come and gone. Finally, at long last, came the day all First Classmen were looking forward to most, next to graduation. Seniors gath- ered in the Cadet Store to receive their rings and crowds formed inside and outside the Boodle Shop as we admired our own and each other's stones. Later that evening, we all stood proudly as the Superintendent officially proclaimed us members of the Graduating Class and our thoughts wan- dered lovingly to June! Then, Valley Forge played host to some 400 people at a din- ner-dance in Thomas Hall, commemorating the Bryn Mawr Hospital's Diamond Jubilee Anniversary. The event took place on homecoming day and many alumni were present. The event paid tribute to the first hospital on the Main Line. For the first time in Academy history, the Christmas Pag- eant was presented three times, twice for the residents of the area, on one night, and the following evening for the Corps of Cadets and the Faculty.

QPYACPQ Following Christmas Leave, the Corps of Cadets returned to Valley Forge to wait out what, through the years, has become known as the Dark Ages. It was to be a difficult time, with academic pressures at their highest, semester exams, and seniors waiting tensely to hear from colleges. However, for the seniors there was First Class Weekend to look forward to, and for those who had worked diligently during the First Semester, Star Weekend was not far away. On the 28th of January, Richard M. Nixon was sworn in as the new President of the United States.

For the Cadets, it was a new and unique experience. They had an excellent opportunity to view everything first-hand and to become acquainted with students from all over the United States who were representing their respective states in the parade.

Pass n Review Right after the Inaugural Parade and the end of the First Semester Finals, the Corps of Cadets were ready for Spring Leave, but there were two months to go. This was a period of sports, dinners, sports, and doldrums - the Dark Ages of winter. The month of February started off with the Junior College Ring Dance in Mellon Hall - a dinner dance. Then there was a weekend leave for the Gold and Silver Star holders which was most welcome. One bright light in the whole month was the tremenduous Band and Glee Club Concert held at the beginning of the fourth week. This was a very good concert, enjoyed by all, Later, General Sanelli and Colonel Dayhuff donned the Blue and the Gray of the Civil War and presented the Gettysburg Skit for the plebes. This is always a performance that is throughly enjoyed. Then - a Commandant's Inspection and we all scrubbed and washed and scrubbed and waxed until far into the night - while the Gymnastics Team went to West Point Qbut more on that on the next pagesj The month ended with the Glee Club spending a very nice evening of singing and dancing at the Baldwin School. Now, it was only a month till Spring Leave. Below: Sometimes the big ones get the mostest. Here a tall-ll-ll Penn Charter man gets the ball in while diminutive Trojans wait for the ball to fall.

Q-.uf i g-v Pass n Review The Valley Forge Gymnastics team experienced one of the highlights of its season when it travelled to West Point to take on the USMA plebes. There to greet the Cadets were USMA plebes Mark Faith and Richard Kane, along with Henry Osterhoudt, a First Classman at the Point. All three were former V.F. Cadets: Faith being the Regimental Pub- lications Officer and Crossed Sabres editor last yearg Kane being a Bandsmang and Osterhoudt the Company Com- mander of H Company in '65. With Spring Leave scant days away and the Dark Ages rapidly drawing to a close, V.F. was once again plunged into a bustle of activity. The Choir took a trip to St. Thomas Episcopal Church in New York and the National Honor Society held its Spring Induction. It was the first time that Third Classmen were admitted as Honorary Members. Another Iirst also occurred at the annual Dunaway Oratori- cal Contest as Cadet Nicholas Yermakov took first place for the second year in a row, setting a precedent at the Acade- my. The theme for the evening was Reflections of Man. The highlight of the 1968-69, 40th Anniversary, year for Cadet journalists took place at the Publications Dinner held for the second year in Eisenhower Hall. The Quill and Scroll inductions were conducted during this dinner by Cadets Mantilia and Volkert with Colonel Esrey. The Rope', Dance followed soon after and the Choir made an early Sunday morning trip to the world-famous Riverside Church in New York City. Valley Forge Gymnast team poses with USMA Cadets.

There were eight busy weeks to go for the fortieth Corps of Cadets. The Band and Glee Club gave a fine performance at the White House on April l0th. It was a thrilling experience for the Cadets and an Honor for Valley Forge. The following Saturday there was a Commandant's Inspection. On Sunday, certain re- spected Cadets and Faculty were inducted into the Order of Anthony Wayne. The next day was the Cadet Officer's Mess in Eisenhower Hall. A Federal Inspecting team arrived here in mid-April and gave us a thorough going over. Each of us had to know the General Orders and other information. As usual, the inspec- tors were pleased with our performance. The Patrick Henry Forensic Society held the annual Invita- tional Debate with about fifteen schools in attendence, and soon afterward the Corps heard Dr. Clarence R. Moll, pres- ident of PMC speak in Chapel. Another first for Valley Forge occurred when the annual Yearbook Forum presented by the American Yearbook Company was held at the Forge. There were about 400 area students present for the day. The Crossed Sabres staff acted as host. The following week, Gold Star Cadets of the Acad- emy and Junior College received their weekend leave and the busy month of April was terminated with the Annual Band and Glee Club Concert held at Archbishop Carroll High School for the Radnor Police Pension Fund.

These were acted, staged, and directed by Cadets of the Drama II course, and judged in a manner similar to the Dunaway Contest. Our Chapel guest on the first Sunday was Father Flaherty, and old friend of the Academy, and the following weekend was Mother's Day and Spring Festival. Our parents toured the academic buildings and viewed examples of their sons' work. In the afternoon, after a buffet style luncheon, there was a Gymkhana exhibition on the Main Parade Field, fol- lowed by a Garrison Review. Then, all were allowed late leave until l 1:00. On Mothers' Day, the mother of the Regi- mental Commander took the Review following a Chapel Service in Thomas Hall, a late leave until 9:00 was enjoyed by all. The following week we were uinspectedl' by the Alumni Board of Visitors and on that weekend, many Cadets were reunited with old classmates as the Alumni returned to their Alma Mater for the annual Homecoming. The Corps was privileged to hear the Army Chief of Staff, General William C. Westmoreland, speak in Chapel that Sunday. General Westmoreland had visited Valley Forge many times before in his capacity as the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy, and it was a particular honor to have him return once again, in his new post.

Koster, addressed us in Chapel. During a review for General Koster, many honors were pre- sented to deserving Cadets. This year, instead of a special Awards Convocation, individual awards to Cadets were made in small groups, or on the Parade Field. Then . . . there were just two more weeks of Academic stud- ies and we had to get down to the business of studying hard. Examinations began for the .I.C.'s on the 26th and for the Academy on the 28th, on which evening the Band, Field Music and parts of the Troop and Battery, with the Anthony Wayne Legion Guard, gave a supurb performance at the Devon Horse Show. The year was nearly over. Baccalau- reate Sunday was on June 1, and we were greatly honored to listen to General Leonard F.

Pass in Review 40th Anniversary 49 ,,,.........n..H-gf 31 Faculty and A cadem ics 40th Anniversary In the beginning, the Academic Department of Valley Forge was a small one, consisting of only the most basic of courses. Gradually, the Department expanded to cover such fields as General Science, Physics, Chemistry, French, Latin, Ger- man, Spanish, Economic Geography, and three History courses. The classes were small and the teachers did double duty as Tactical Officers as well. In 1935, only what is now the front wing of Shannon Hall constituted the Academic Building. Wayne Hall housed the O.S.C. classes and the basement of Hamilton Hall housed the Military Science Department, which, at that time, consisted of only the P.M.S. and one instructor. In 1939, the Junior College was instituted and the .I.C.'s were intermingled with the Acade- my Cadets. The uniform for classes was dress gray trou, white shirt, black tie, overseas cap, and black pullover sweaters with red V-neck trim. As a teacher in 1947, General Sanelli recalls that he was also the guidance counsellor for a platoon of Cadets. In his opinion, the greatest improvements in the Academic Department are a widely expanded curriculum, great improvements in the Library, expansion of the facili- ties, and the Guidance Department itself, which was, for a number of years, non-existant at Valley Forge.

During World War II, Business Mathematics was offered. An additional fourth year of mathematics became required and students could choose from Trigonometry, solid Geome- try, and Math Survey. In 1957, Solid Geometry was dropped and replaced with Modern Geometry, trigonome- try became Trig 8: Mathematic Analysis-primarily an intro- duction to Analytic Geometry and Calculus. Advanced Placement Mathematics was introduced in 1964 as a course for honor students and in 1966, Trig and Math Analysis were inaugurated into the Summer Institute. In 1967, a basic Computer Programming course was intro- duced as a one semester course, this expanded to two semes- ters in 1968. The Summer Institute will carry a computer course also.

English and Humanities From a teaching staff of two in 1928 to a staff of ten full- time and two part-time members in 1969 is just one signifi- cant example ofthe growth of the Department of English and Fine Arts. Forty years ago Lieutenants Robert G. Po- sey and Sheldon Madeira were introducing Cadets to the best that has been thought and written and then teaching them to apply these reading experiences in their own oral and written expression. Today the same basic objective con- tinues, although since Colonel Esrey became Chairman in 1958, the emphasis on writing has been greatly increased. Lay Readers and the Department's English Handbook and Style Manual were brought in live years ago. Honors sections have long been conducted at all grade levels, and this Department pioneered in introducing the Advanced Placement Program here in 1961. A modified form of the new English in the form of a structural linguistic approach to the study of grammar be- gan in 1968, and live new elective courses were introduced, including the stimulating Humanities- course taught by the Department Chairman and Lieutenant Gaskins, a survey of the literature, art, music, and asthetic values of western man. Courses in music and art appreciation, public speak- ing, and drama are also proving challenging. Drama II was added this second semester by Mr. John Crowley, popular manager of the Bucks County Playhouse.

Foreign Languages One of Valley F0rge's most highly complex departments, the Foreign Language Department has been historically plagued with many difficulties which it has, nevertheless, been able to surmount. All courses have been revised and are now taught by the audio-lingual method. Emphasis is now placed on actually speaking and understanding the living language as a means of communication. In this way, Cadets can better obtain a grasp of the course they are taking. In all foreign languages in the department, four years are now of- fered, instead of the previous two. The Language Labora- tory has been completely re-equipped with the most modern equipment available and all home-made tapes have been discarded in favor of professionally produced tapes, so that students may hear a variety of native speakers in many dif- ferent situations. A pioneer course, Introduction to Language, stresses inter- national communication and has received nationwide at- tention. A course in Basic English is also offered for stu- dents from foreign countries. Students are grouped as much as possible according to ability so that they can proceed at different rates of speed. All teachers are fluent in the lan- guage that they teach and the department has expanded to include 23 different courses, as compared with ll courses three years ago. LT. COLONEL HORACE B.

In its first few years at the Forge, the department consisted of only three instructors. One of them was a man called Capt. David F. Gardiner, who was Assistant Professor of History. In 1948, Col. George W. Rickert, the present Department Head, arrived at the Academy. At the time, six courses were offered CU.S. History, European History, Ancient History, Economics, Sociology, and Geographyj. Today, the depart- ment offers ten courses and is composed of eight instructors. The department offers two Advanced Placement courses fA.P. United States History and A.P. European Historyj. All courses are subdivided into three ability levels. About ten years ago, Team Teaching was inaugurated in the department and is still used twice a year for students taking United States History. This type of team teaching is de- signed to acquaint the student with college techniques and to expose him to three different instructors. Presently, of the eight instructors in the Social Studies De- partment, seven of them hold Masters Degrees. From time to time, outside speakers have been invited to lecture the students. Col. Mulkerns has often lectured on the period of the French and Indian Wars. COLONEL GEORGE W. RICKERT, JR.

Tactical Department The Tactical Department at Valley Forge Military Acade- my was founded, along with the Academy itself, on the premise that 'Lgood enough is not enough, excellence must be the norm. In 1928, the first year of the Academy, General Baker fthen Majorj had to instill in his tactical officers the same rigid standards that they were to demand from their Cadets. Originally, it was a rare occasion for a faculty officer at V.F. not to be in either the active Army, the National Guard, or the Reserves. Ceremonies were the specialty and Cadets drilled every day for one hour after classes, Monday through Friday. The reason for this was the fact that the old close order drill was very complex and involved, before it was changed and simplified in about 1941. Initially, all the companies were cavalry units, since General Baker himself was once the commanding officer ofa cavalry unit. The Corps consisted solely of Troops until 1931. The Tactical Department instituted the Artillery unit in 1935, with vehicles custom-built for Valley Forge. Also, at about this time, the Regimental Board was founded.

Since its origin at the Academy with two instructors, the Science Department has endeavored to give Cadets the most complete background in the sciences. In 1954, the Biology Lab was built with a greenhouse attached. Both the Junior College and the Academy utilized its services until 1958, when the separation ofJ.C. Science became complete. In 1962, the new Chemistry Lab was built and the same year saw the origin of the Summer Institute. In 1964, the department acquired a tele-microscope, and an Alumni Chair was given to the Science Department in 1966. The year 1968, saw the construction of the new Biology and Chemistry Laboratories in Room 11 of Shannon Hall. New courses in the Department include B.S.C.S. Biology, C.B.A. Chemistry, P.S.C.S. Physics, Earth Science, and Biology II. An abundance of scientific equipment is avail- able for use of students in all of these fields.

Through the efforts of the staff of the Military Sci- ence, Cadets are prepared to undertake their military obli- gations to our nation should they ever be called into service. Early in the Academy history there were only one or two men assigned to the department and as late as 1938 there were only two officers and one sergeant on the staff. During the World War II years, much more drill fsummers, tool was instituted as well as training in new tactics and weapons which were devised as the war progressed. Also, around this time, all Cadets who were physically sound and mentally alert were allowed to take R.O.T.C. Originally, only a por- tion ofthe student body was allowed to take these courses. Today, all Cadets take M.S. and the department numbers nine Cthree officers and six enlisted menj who teach classes, and tactical exercises outside the classroom, as well as con- ducting two military weekends per year. These weekends give the Cadet a chance to put into practice those things which he has learned in the classroom. Above: Each year we have a Federal Inspection of our ROTC activities at V.F.

In 1954, the Department included three instructors, but was not a separate department until 1956. The Reading Clinic grew to four instructors in 1959 and became situated in McClosky Hall, until 1962, when it moved to Harvey Hall. In l965, the Department moved to Parker Hall, where it is presently located. Under Department Head Colonel Elmer A. O'Day, the Reading Clinic has been constantly growing in its libraries and instruments. A Tachistoscope, Control Readers, Reading Accelerators, and Vision Testing Ma- chines comprise some of the equipment of the Reading Clinic.

These men have been members ofthe British Army Physical Training Corps, who receive their training at Aldershot and are then sent out to all points ofthe globe to act as P.T. advisers for the British Army. In 1937, Major Thomas F. Robertson, a Scot who formerly served with the Royal Engineers and was at Aldershot, was brought to America, by the then Colonel Baker, to supervise the intensive program of training at Valley Forge in the pre- war days. Since then, British Physical Training men and drill instructors have been an integral part of the Forge life and have contributed much to the fitness and posture of Cadets.

This year a new method of guidance was instituted at the Forge, and we of the Second Class will be the first to really benefit from it. Each of two guidance officers split the First and Second classes and will keep the same Cadets under their eyes for two years, the most crucial years in a Cadet's life, academically. By getting to know the Cadet over a two year period, the guidance officer, either Colonel Buckwalter or Lt. Colonel Oliveira, will be able to better fill the Cadet's needs when it comes to filling out college applications and in general guidance activities. Our guidance officers were more than just people who helped us fill out applications, they were ones to whom we could turn in hours of need, and usually they had the perfect solution to our problems. We who have been here three or four years have enjoyed the years with the two officers above and with Colonel Dayhuff who advises the Third and Fourth Classes. Colonel Buckwalter assists Cadet Trent with a college application. All Cadets see their guidance officers frequently. MRS. FLORENCE G. HORN, Instructor in Official Social Courtesy.

The first Corps of Cadets had their work cut out for them. They had the hardest job of all - that of estab- lishing a precedent for all those to follow and of building the first stepping stone of V.F. history. It was their honor and duty to set the standards which would guide the future Corps in their endeavors. They had pride. The nineteenth First Class had the difficult task of helping set Valley Forge back on its feet following World War II. The nation was in a period of hard times, and it was into this atmosphere that the nineteenth First Class graduated. Their duties lay heavy upon their shoulders, yet they held their heads high. They, too, had pride. Now, it is our turn to step out into the world. We are the fortieth First Class, representing a new zenith in the career of Valley Forge Military Academy. We must, as did our predecessors, meet our destiny with heads held high. We, too, must have pride, pride in our Alma Mater, pride in what we have accomplished, and pride in ourselves. We have met the challenge of Valley Forge Military Academy. We have grown from boyhood into lusty young manhood. We must still grow fartherg into responsible citizens and adults. It will be a long, hard road, but we shall hold our heads aloft. We shall, we must, have pride. JOHN E.

ZIEGLER Ridgway, Pennsylvania 103 msgs H3532 'alll I!!! .i f X, The Corps Officer ofthe Day , .. 1946. 40th A nniversary From the outset, Valley Forge had a small Corps ofCadets, bound by rigid regulations. The Academy, was housed in the Devon Park Hotel, but this was a short-lived campus. On the l8th, of January, 1929, a fire almost completely de- stroyed V.F.'s first home and the Cadets were suddenly homeless. However, General fat the time, Majorj Baker used his initiative and quickly procurred the old, defunct St. Luke's Preparatory School for the Academy. In 1932, the Corps numbered 282 and consisted of compa- nies A and E , In l935, D Troop came into existance with a stable of forty horses. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor and our Nation's en- try into the War, the Corps of Cadets began intensive mili- tary and combat training in preparation for what was inevi- table. Governor Martin designated Col. Baker Commander of the State Guard and promoted him to General. In 1947, the Gold Star was embedded into the walk in front of the chapel to commemorate our Alumni dead. Following the War, Valley Forge became a foundation and its government was handed over to the Alumni, the ultimate completion of General Baker's dream. Today, when Cadets of the class of 1928 return to their Alma Mater, they scarely believe their eyes. What started as a small, insignificant lit- tle school in the Devon Park Hotel is one of the finest mili- tary institutions in the nation. THE REGIMENTAL COMMANDER MICHAEL N. GRAY FIRST CAPTAIN LT.

Keith Feltham Often called the Philadelphia Orchestra of Military Bands, the V.F.M.A. Marching and Concert Band has per- formed for four United States presidents, royalty, and countless thousands in military and civic circles. The fifty-five man unit led the Pennsylvania contingent in President Nixon's and both of the late President Eisenhow- er's inaugural parades, as well as the inaugurals of all Penn- sylvania governors since 1929. In the first year of the Academy, the Band was composed of just twenty-one musicians under the baton of Captain Fred- erick C. Patten, and these young men organized a dance band as well, In 1949, General Baker hired D. K. Feltham to become Bandmaster at VFMA. He produced a band without peer. One of Colonel Feltham's ccomplishments was the intro- duction ofthe slow march , another first in the United States was the introduction of the Coronation Fanfare Trumpets in 1953. This unusual ensemble was presented to the Cadet band by the Superintendent. Maybe an old Bandsman said it all pretty -well when he wrote to Colonel Feltham two years ago, saying, As a bandsman of a generation ago, I sincerely believed our group, though good in its day, would not compare favorably with today's, I guess the breed really does continue to im- prove.

TACTICAL OFFICER Major William K, Weller Near the beginning of the Academy, there was a short-lived Drum 8: Bugle Corps, but it wasn't until 1959 that the pre- sent unit got its start, a small group, playing surplus instru- ments, formed from other companies to play in the absence of the Band. In 1960-61, the unit was given Company status as the Drum and Bugle Corps under the direction of Colonel William Badham, and in 1964, the name of the organization was changed to the Field Music, a Revolutionary War title. Now, we began to change, and instead of simply replacing the Band, we were striking out for ourselves and playing with the Band on many occasions. This year, 1968-69, we have participated in the annual Ma- rine Corps' Birthday Ball, the Ring Dance, the Inaugural Parade for President Richard M. Nixon, and all Academy Reviews.

Keogh When Valley Forge was founded in 1928, one of the three companies that comprised the first Corps was Troop A, under the direction of its Company Commander, Jack Ev- ans. It consisted of fifty-one Cadets and was the outstanding company of the year in Academics and Military. In 1930, Troop A was dissolved into C Company and D Troop. In its place, a new organization, A Compa- ny, was formed. In its thirty-eight years, A Company has been housed in both Washington and Hamilton Halls, and is currently in Wilson Hall. The Company has been led by many different tactical offi- cers and company commanders, its present leaders are Ma- jor Arthur C. Keogh, a Valley Forge alumnusg and Grant Walker, the A Company Captain, a four year man.

TACTICAL OFFICER Colonel Stanley Harris B Company has long been one of the outstanding Compa- nies in the Corps of Cadets. It was one of the three original companies that was formed with the establishment of the Academy in Devon in l928. Since 1929, it has always been located in Washington Hall, one of the three original Acade- my buildings and where the Superintendent and the Com- mandant had their offices. Two of B Company's outstanding graduates are Colonel Marshall Baker, former VFMA PMS, and General Alfred Sanelli, currently Dean of the Academy. Colonel Stanley Harris is our present Tactical Officer. He has been with the company longer than any other Tactical Officer. In 1966, he left for one year, but during his first sev- en years with B Company, we won Best Company five times. 'B Company Formation 1946.

Tactical Omcer Robert J. Muzi In September, 1929, forty-four Cadets of the 220 Cadet Corps were formed into C Company. From 1929 to 1947, C Company occupied Washington Hall, and in 1947, moved into the newly-built Martin Hall, its present home. Twenty eight Cadets of C Company have died in the serv- ice of their country. Many awards are made annually in memory of the ex-Cadets: the Blessing Medal, the Mc- Closkey Medal, andthe Russo Medal. In its first years, C Company had company spirit found nowhere in the Corps today, and has won many awards for its group excellence: Best Company in '48, '53, '67, and '68, and the Intramural Award in '66 and '68, The last two have been the efforts of Major Robert Muzi, our Tactical Officer, who was himself a member of C for four years of his ten- ure as a Cadet and Regimental Commander.

TACTICAL OFFICER Major Daniel J. Passarelli D Troop is one of the most exclusive and oldest compa- nies at Valley Forge. The Troop made its debut in the Corps of 1929-30, under the leadership of Cadet A. Fred Wolfe as Company Commander. Perhaps the most distinguishing fact about the Troop is that it is one ofthe few cavalry units remaining in the country. The Troop, which was originally just horseback, also has a mounted vehicle section. In the fall of each year, the troop accompanies the Band to the Harrisburg Horse Show. D Troop as well as representing Valley Forge on trips, represents her on the Polo Field. Riders from D Troop and her companion company, the cavalry section of I Troop, put forth their best riders who, under the skillful direction of Colonel Eugene Fischer, make up the Forge's noted Polo Team.

Miller Our Company began in 1938, but in its earliest form was known as Machine Gun Company and its members tended machine guns on bicycle-tired carriages. The company's complement was forty, the lirst Company Commander was Raymond D. Bashford, Jr., Coral Gables, Florida, and the lirst Tactical Officer was Lieutenant Robert Burr. E Battery was formed from MG Company in 1940, with the same tactical officer. In 1940, there were thirty-eight members, and seventy-live in 1945. The colors of our unit are red and the symbol is the crossed cannons. Our members are taught to drill in artillery and to drive trucks and motorcycles. The tactical oflicer of this year's E Battery has been Captain John Miller. Q The Men of G Company CAPTAIN COMPANY COMMANDER Joseph M.

At that time, it merely consisted of thirty-nine cadets forming two platoons. It has progressed through the years until today, now the company strength is one hundred twenty-two. In 1937, G Company was disbanded and it was not re- formed until 1942. After this, in 1947, it was disbanded again and reformed ten years later. The original barracks was in the west end of Hamilton Hall and in 1958, G Company moved to Younghusband Hall. In 1963, the entire company moved to Lafayette Hall and today its members still reside there. Over the years, G Company has received numerous awards and achievements. Among these are Best Company, Intramural Banner, Squad Participation Banner, and its most recent award, the Military Stakes Banner. .. f J G Company Formation - 1946.

A lhletics Z ff' 40th Anniversary For the School and Game is the motto of every athletic team, interscholatic and intramural, here at Valley Forge. This is a proud motto, and one that exemplifies every partic- ipant in every sports contest that takes place on our athletic fields. Therefore, we, the Class of 1969, take personal pride in the fine performances turned in by our teams in the past seasons. To explain briefly - For the School and Gamew is a motto inspired by a great writer, William Shakespeare. It is not whether you win or lose, it is how you play the game, and this quotation has been an inspiration to all of our players in the forty years of the history of the Forge. Our athletes have taken this motto and applied it to their participation through the ideal that, For the School . . . simply is interpreted as victory for Valley Forge before any- thing else, and if victory is unattainable, then, .. . and Game,', shows good sportsmanship and honor even in defeat. Athletics, however, is an activity that helps make The Whole Man, which is the guiding principle in a Cadet's training here at Valley Forge. Our large and excellent pro- gram and coaching staff gives all of the other aspects of Cadet training the final ingredient to produce the graduate of the Forge who stands out as a man among men.

These came in 1946, under coach John Maddoxg and in 1969 under coach Kenneth Davis. What makes an undefeated football team? Not everyone seems to know, but some ofthe things would have to be per- severance, belief in the abilities of one's fellow players, a devoted love of the game and of physical contact, and natu- ral talent that shows through when an all-out effort is need- ed to keep the team on top. It is not known if Coach Davis, and the most dedicated players Valley Forge has ever seen, used the above mentioned necessities, but it is evident that they found at least some of the unknown answers to this perplexing question. The 1969 squad, built around quarterback Danney Monizg backs Tony Cosenzo, Frank Clancy, and Willie Jacksong and ends Randall Bubb and Carl Valley, put together an offensive effort unparalleled in any Forge Football effort. All of the players on the squad contributed in the super- human effort that gave the Long Gray Line a fearsome vic- tory machine. Commenting on the season, Coach Davis stat- ed that, There was no magic used during this undefeated season, but every Cadet in the ,Corps can testify that it was a combination of sweat, work, and a lot of luck on the part of the coaching staff and team. The Corps played an important part in every victory at the Alumni Stadium with their whole-hearted support of their gridiron heroes, as they cheered, shouted, and screamed the team on to victory after victory. Every member of the squad will gladly testify to the fact that many of the close games that they won would not have been won if the Corps had not supported them as completely as they did. The participation of the Corps was quite evident in several games such as the Woodberry-Forest game, in which the team trailed by fourteen points in the middle of the second period, and had just failed when they had an excellent chance to score. The Corps responded tremendously, giving the determined players a standing ovation as they left the field. The team, spurred on by this outstanding display of spirit, then went on to overtake Woodberry-Forest and win the game. Luck is certainly an important factor in any team's record, and it can be said that the team was alloted more than its share of luck in the hair-breadth games that the team won all season long.

This luck of the Trojan stayed with the team, especially when the Trojans met previously mentioned Woodberry- Forest, which was coasting on a streak of forty-four games, and teams with huge players such as Cheshire Academy, who fought with all their might to take us apart. These were the times that the Trojans relied on their efficient, machine- like, explosive offense, and their crushing, hell-for-leather defense. In these times, individual efforts by such defensive players as Mike Livingston, Ed Burke, Jim Qualter, and Steve Fahey saved the nip-and-tuck games when the sea- son's record hung in the balance. Much credit must be given to Coach Davis and his staff, who put forth a supreme effort, when they gave of their free time to coach and scout for new players in the hope of at- taining the perfect season that they produced this year. The members of the graduating class all agree that a respectful hats-off must be given to these fine coaches. For the School and Game is the motto of every Forge ath- letic team, and the 1969 Trojan team certainly played with honor and sportsmanship in a manner that would make any School, notjust Valley Forge, proud of them. The Fourtieth Anniversary of the Academy will always be remembered by the Cadets of the Forge, who will also re- member the exciting football team that went undefeated, For the School and Game . . . 11 Kneeling: Patterson, F., Valdez, E., Beck, S., Roughead, G., Francis, W., Gallagher, C., Danzenbaker, W., McGarvey, S., Haase, R.

Even though they showed good potential, they failed to jell, as a unit, and ended the season with only one win, eight losses and two ties. Even though they did not have a winning season, much credit must be given to the hard work and the industry of the team, as they lost most of their games by only one or two goals. Under the careful eyes of Lt. Colonel Quinn and Lieutenant Pomilo, the Co-Captains Gary Roughead and Willie Fran- cis, the soccer team worked long hours to perfect their indi- vidual and team skills. This was shown in the outstanding performances by Andonie, Gallagher, and Spellman, who helped the team score many goals.

Cross Countr In its fourth season at Valley Forge, the Cross Country team came up with a very fine season. They won eight meets to only four defeats. This was the finest season posted in the short history of the Cross Country Teams. Under the careful eye of Major Phillips, the head coach, the team showed their prowess on the two and one half mile course at home, and at nearby schools. Co-Captain Jim Gal- legher broke the school record three times and only once failed to finish first. Other top runners this season were Co- Captain John Bennett, Pete Sideris, William Bickoff, and Mort Jacobs. A typical display of the team's spirit and determination was the fact that Mort Jacobs ran every meet barefoot, a trying method, to be sure, but indicative of the calibre ofCadets on the squad.

With an eight win-two loss record, the team proved itself time and again. Joe Brito and Jack Rutherford were co-captains this season. Some of the outstanding performers this year were Dennis Rowe, Chuck Nesbitt, Richard Barr, and Paul Oldach. Under their leadership they have shown the way for next year's team.

Bowling This year's Bowling team totaled one of the finer records of its history at Valley Forge in this, its fifth year. With a line coach in Captain John Powanda, the team developed an excellent spirit of competition and all the members of the team learned to work together to beat the opponent. Bob Jeffers, of A Company, was the leading individual high-scorer of the team and rallied the bowlers in many matches by constantly setting the pace for his teammates to follow. Coach Powanda, however, stated that the team's good record was due to good team effort.

Rifle Cadet Blindenbacher, Captain ofthe Rifle Team, perfects his form with the help of Sergeant Meyers, U.S. Army, Coach. Having to start from scratch, SSG. James H. Meyers was still able to produce a winning team, although VFMA Rifle Teams fire only against college teams. When many a match looked doubtful, the constant high firers were able to bring the team to victory. The high iirers for this year were Ca- dets Blindenbacher fCaptainj, Bowling, Shroyer, Lewis, and Olsen. The team tired six teams from the ROTC league, winning the first three, but the tide turned when we lost to Villanova by seven points. Since most of the team is graduating this year, and SSG Meyers is on active duty in the Far East, next year's coach will have to start all over again with rookies, but in light of the success of other great team coaches, we are sure of the success of the next VFMA-ROTC Rifle Team.

This yearls team was no exception, but it was a team that was more deserving of victory than its record showed. The team was struck with several bad breaks early, but through hard work, initiative, and a never-say-diel' atti- tude, the team had the spirit to come back for several con- vincing victories in the latter part of the season. Ed Sturges, the only returning lettermang Willie Jackson, Bob McGoldrick, Bill Lichtenwalner, and Bruce Abrams jelled as a team in mid-season and gave the Trojans an excit- ing, hard-to-beat team that finally broke the losing habit and gave the school a reputation.

The Cadet malletmen opened their season at New Haven, Connecticut in January with an impressive 12-9 victory over Yale University's varsity, which eventually captured the Intercollegiate Polo Championships for the third consecu- tive year. Two other trips on the schedule took the Cadets twice to Ithaca, N.Y., where they bowed to Cornell University, 21- 12, and the University of Virginia, 16-IZ, in the quarter-fi- nals ofthe Intercollegiate tourney. In their only home match, the Forge riders bounced George- town University, 22-1. Other encounters in Clothier Hall had to be cancelled due to repairs to the building. It could also be considered an 'odd year' inasmuch as the Cadets defeated the champions of the intercollegiate ranks and also the team fGeorgetownl which had eliminated them from the tournament the previous season.

The wrestling team faced much hard opposition on the mats this year, and their record is very commendable for the top-notch opposition that they faced. Though quite a few of last yearis lettermen returned, there were many bright new faces in this year's line-up which added to the team's strength. The veterans who returned were Rosenberg QCaptainJg Fer- guson, Heath, and Brehm. The new faces on this year's squad were Cosenzo, Biernacki, Hollingshead, and Winepole. The wrestling matches drew many crowds who supported the team in its new wrestling room in Thomas Hall. This room provided them with the facilities needed for the team to excell in their matches, both home and away.

This year's swimming team got off to a slow start because the team was predominately a rookie team with few ex- perienced swimmers to steady the new men. However, the scattered success of the team must be credited to the fine coaching of Major Appel and Lieutenant Wesley. The team's record does not do it justice, because in most of the meets that were lost, the deciding factor was the free- style sprints, and the last event itself. Behind the leadership of its Captain, Dave Geisinger, the team put forth its best effort in every meet. The returning lettermen who helped steady the team were Cadets Ferrar- is, Kraus, Horn, and Rudolph. Rookie swimmers who were outstanding were Cadets McKay, Dunyak, and Meckley. With this variety of swimming talent, the team proved itself ' worthy of recognition to the Corps. Geisinger splashes his way to a victory and a record time in the 100 yard butterfly.

Starting its workouts in February, the Cadets worked long hours to perfect the timing and co- ordination that makes a winning team. Much credit for this line season must be given to Colonel Lord who worked long and hard hours training and instilling in the players the idea of winning and having fun at the same time. Newcomers who contributed to this line season were Mark Mineola, Bob McGoldrick, Reggie Lighston, Bob Smith, Larry Dembicer, Hank Brodeur, Buck Reisenweaver, Peter Napoli. All of the work of these rookies and other unsung heroes combined to make this one ofthe linest seasons that the baseball team has ever had.

This season proved to be an even better one for the Track Team than the previous season. They started out well by having a perfect winning day in all events. They displayed a driving spirit and an extreme will-to-win attitude. Major Philips and Captain Jerry Rickman must be credited for the fine work and the all-out-effort that the team put forth this season. Without their selfless efforts the team would not have been able to do as well as it did. New faces always seem to bring a better season, and this year was no exception. Randal Wait-a-minute Bubb, Carl L'Kajo,' Valley, Tony Cosenzo, Steve Fahey, Greg Fra- zier, Alan Powe, and a host of others contributed to this excellent season, Returning lettermen were Captain Jerry Rickman, Jim Danzenbaker, Pete Sideris, and Dan Sypes.

Under the guidance of its new coach, Colonel Orme, and Les Botkin, captain, the team displayed unusual ability and desire for the short time that they had to practice. This was shown in the factthat in all of their matches they either won with assurance or made it ntoo-close-for-comfort for their opponents. New faces are always welcome and needed on any squad, and this year some fine talent was found. Newcomers were Matt Sigloch, Carl Wolf, Tiny Lutz, and Tom Witt.

By 1953, nine more clubs were added. These included the Cadet Advisory Council, the National Honor Society, the Stephen Foster Honor Society, the Alexander Hamilton Forum, the Washington Irving Literary Society, the Mask and Spur Society, the Patrick Henry Forensic Society, and the Battery Club. The Science Club became the Benjamin Franklin Honor Society. There is now a total of twenty-six Honor societies and or- ganizations for the Valley Forge Cadet's benefit. Aside from the Honor Council and the Order ofAnthony Wayne, which have been present in V.F. history almost since its inception, there are now also the Quill and Scroll Society, the Biology Club, the Marshall Kerry Cycle Club, the Audio-Visual Club, the Society of Ruben Dario, the Photography Club, the Acolytes Guild, and the Baron Von Steuben Chapter of the Association of the United States Army. Valley Forge has expanded to cover a widespread variety of fields for the Cadets to enjoy, but this could not have been done without the Cadets themselves, whose interests and spirit have paved the way.

This award was to be made to distinguished persons at the Academy, including Cadet Officers and Faculty, and to persons who had distin- guished themselves in business or the military. And so it has been through the many years. Among those who have been privileged to wear the golden crosses of the Order are the president of a foreign state, certain Staff officers of the Armed Services, and members of the Academy staff and Corps. On a Sunday in April, the Superintendent announces those persons who have received the Honor, and he personally inducts them into the Order during a Chapel Service. From row: Beyler, C., Rutherford.

Scalzo, M., The National Honor Society The Eric Fisher Wood Chapter ofthe National Honor So- ciety had its birth here at the Academy in l950. Under the supervision of Brig. General Arthur W. Bass, twenty-two Cadets were inducted as charter members. The chapter was named in honor of Eric Fisher Wood, Jr., who graduated from the Academy in I937, summa cum laude, and as a First Lieutenant in 1944, was sent overseas. There he served with valor during the Battle ofthe Bulge, where he was killed. It is on Eric Fisher Wood's ideals that the society bases theirs. Character, scholarship, leadership, service f these are the prerequisites every candidate must have in order to maintain membership. The society through the years has continued to be the elite academic organization of the Corps, under the direction of Brig. General Bass, Brig. General Weidener, Colonel Jones, and, currently, Colonel Joseph J. Esrey. This chapter had four dinners this year, which gave the members a chance to relax and engage in discussions, or lis- ten to lectures given by speakers such as the Commandant of Cadets, and Joseph R. Bowman, Professor of Fine Arts at Eastern Baptist College. The Cadet Honor Council was first formed in 1928, being comprised of Cadets nominated by the company command- ers, two sergeants, and two privates from each platoon of each company and the Cadet Lieutenant Colonel fRegimen- tal Commanderj. The requirements of this position were that the Cadets had to be at least in the second class, have two years in residence at the Academy and have an out- standing record. The Council was run like a court, deciding T whether or not a Cadet was guilty of an offense. Today, the Council is composed of Cadets of the First Class H and Junior College Sophomore class who are appointed by the Superintendent. The Council is a committee which rec- , ommends to the Superintendent the punishments for viola- 4 1 tions of the Cadet Code of Honor. Although the Size of the Council, and qualifications for appointment to the Council have changed through the years, it still has one main objective, the defense of the Cadet Code of Honor: A Cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will he tolerate anyone who doesf, :ga are af Q +- -- , ff- - -in, .Q gf: ., A ' 1, 11 3 F ff 31 JN 1 Hx , The 1968-69 Honor Council' Gary Roughead, David Wells, Christopher Pack, Gerard Brangenberg, John Dubach, William Gower, Grant Walker, Thomas Laverty. 148 Front row: Sturges, E., McGarvey, S., Molinowsky, D., Proetto, C., Vla- D.

It was organized totfurther interest in and to provide a forum for the discussion of national and interna- tional affairs. In the society recognition was given to the fact that such matters are of great importance to the American citizen and are very necessary to a proper discussion and understanding of past, present, and future events. It was also organized to sponsor and conduct programs commemo- rating national holidays and events to be participated in and attended by the Corps of Cadets. In 1956, a new constitution was written and all officers were kept, but the name was changed to The Alexander Hamil- ton Forum. Since its founding, the forum has heard speakers and had discussions on such topics as the Formosan problem, the Korean War, McCarthyism, and many other areas of cur- rent events.

Washington Irving Literary Society Since its organization and chartering on 15 August, 1947, the Washington Irving Literary Society has done much to promote literary appreciation at Valley Forge. It has ful- filled its main duty by publishing the Academy's literary annual, The Sketch Book. This book, published every year and containing the best of student writing, has been pub- lished for the Academy by the Society since June 1955. Be- fore this time, the Academy literary magazine was The Anvil, which had been discontinued in 1950. Ruben Dario The Society of Ruben Dario, organized in 1959 by a group of Cadets interested in developing their knowledge of the language, literature, culture, and history of the Spanish- speaking peoples, was chartered as an Honor Society in 1960. The Society was chartered under the guidance of Major Soto ofthe Language Department. In 1963, the con- stitution of the Society was amended, and the members con- cerned themselves with the study of the peoples of all foreign countries. The membership of the Society cannot exceed twenty-five members, all of which must remain in good standing in compliance with the rules and regulations gov- erning Honor Societies at Valley Forge Military Academy. The officers for the year 1968-69 were as follows: W. G. Francis - President, G. Roughead A Vice-President, A. E. Hunt - Secretary, S. O. McGarvey - Treasurer. Besides publishing The Sketch Book the Literary Society has sponsored annual assemblies, such as Literary LQ. and the 64,000 Dollar Question. Many interesting people have attended some Washington Irving meetings over the years: Robert Irving fdescendent of Washington Irvingj, Robert Sherrod QManaging Editor of the late Saturday Evening Postj, and many members of the faculty. Interest- ing trips have also added to the enjoyment of the members of the Washington Irving Society. In pre-Ruben Dario days, Colonel Anthony Rosso conducts a French- Spanish choir in the old Language Club. The Choir sings each Sunday in the Alumni Memorial Chapel of St. Cor- nelius, the Centurion. Colonel Robert V. Woodside, Organist and Choirmaster, and the Organ Console dedicated to Constance Prosser Mellon. Choir and The first Cadet Choir pictured in Crossed Sabres was in 1932, and showed nine Cadets. By 1934, there were twenty- one, and in 1935, both Choir and Glee Club were shown. Then, as now, the Glee Club was busy with concerts and engagements away from the post. In 1937, the Chapel Cross was established to be awarded to those who have given faithful and loyal service for two or more years. In 1958, the two organizations were merged into one group. In 1968, the Glee Club Ribbon was established. The Choir- Abave: Cadet Peter McVoy, Choir Officer and Cadet Wil- liam C.

Through the years, the choral groups of Valley Forge have sung in the Academy of Music in Philadelphiag in Philhar- monic Hall, Lincoln Center, in New York City, in St. Thomas Church and the famous Riverside Church in New York.

In addition to being a regular honor society, it is also the school's debating team. Individuals who apply for membership in the society are considered in the fall and in the spring, with the assumption that they are competant in public speaking. It is interesting to note that members of the society are often competitors in the Dunaway Oratorical Contest, held annually, and that they usually place well in competition. Another interesting factor is that the Valedictorians for the past three genera- tions of graduating classes have all been members of the society. At the Academyls annual debating tournament, held on campus last year, the society took a third place medal which was won by Nick Yermakov and Mort Jacobs. This year, the society debates included the Invitational Debates at Horace Mann, Kings College, Hill School, Columbia Uni- versity, Temple University, and St. Joseph's College. Chartered in October of 1956 as the second ROTC-AUSA company in the country, the society still remains as one of the few national organizations represented at Valley Forge. The membership has risen from the initial sixteen to the present thirty-seven. Its aim has been to bring to the Corps a better understanding of the military profession. In the past, in order to accomplish its objective, the society has brought, through various programs, information which directly concerns the Corps, namely the role each Cadet will play in future years when he enters the Armed Forces. These programs have ranged from Corps-wide assemblies to field trips to various installations of all branches of the Armed Forces.

The Benjamin Franklin Honor Society was founded August 15, 1947, and was advised by Colonel Norman Mitterling. When he retired, Captain Gilbert took his place. Currently, Lieutenant Tanner hasjoined Captain Gilbert as an adviser. This Society was started for the purpose of fostering interest in science and engineering. The Society has had programs which have included movies, guest speakers, and trips to points of scientific interest. In past years the society has gone to the Franklin Institute, the General Electric Space Center, and the Baker Chemical Company. Displays are placed in the case in Shannon Hall, and a Dean's assembly is conducted each year by the society. To become a member of this society, a Cadet must certify in the science course he is currently taking. He must have a Bw Leadership grade, and may have no Class A offenses. He must have an over- all C average in Academics. S.. Q Front row: Cornell, N., Smith, C., McGarvey, S., Volkert, F., Proetto, C.

Rorick D This year, as in many previous years, the Hop Committee was able to successfully fulfill its purpose. The purpose of the Hop Committee is to organize and conduct all Academy dances, and to insure that every Cadet has an opportunity to attend these dances. The Hop Committee was formed when the Academy was founded. Its first chairman was Cadet Dorsey Cullen. The committee began its career by preparing an old ballroom for the famous Halloween Hop, the first formal hop held by the Academy. The Senior Hop Manager for this year was Cadet Stephen McGarvey, assisted by Cadet Leonard Sitar. Under the direction of Colonel C. Kennedy Allen, the committee was able to properly perform its duties. The deep interest taken by the Hop Managers made this year a very successful one.

Honor Society Organized in 1954, the Stephen Foster Society has had a relatively short but rich history in Academy affairs. For many years after its inception, the society was Valley Forgels sole music booster. Long a band stronghold it was not until this year that the society achieved a diversified membership from all the companies of the Corps. The Ste- phen Foster is open to any Cadet who is interested in music, whether a performer or not, and is willing to work to pro- mote music appreciation in the all-too-infrequent perform- ances by guest artists here at the Academy, and supervise the Friday night concerts that are such a delightful break in the everyday grind.

It was organized in 1945, as the Drama Club, and was renamed in 1948. The purpose of the society is to foster a knowledge of and a familiarity with drama in all of its many forms. It does this by introducing the dramatic arts to its members through society trips and lectures. Until the late fifties, the Mask and Spur put on four plays a year directed by Mr. John Crowley. Mr. Crowley, now a member of the faculty, is a director of the Buck's County Playhouse and a former actor himself. A couple of familiar faces in the productions were Phillip Medenbach, now a major serving in Vietnam, and Arthur Keogh, the tactical officer of'gA Company. Last year, we saw the first stage production at Valley Forge since that time. It was composed of several scenes of full- length plays and members of the Mask and Spur participat- ed in the affair. It is the hope of the society that this will is- sue a new season oftheatrical enjoyment at Valley Forge. Cadet orchestra in 1934.

The Vestry was first started in I949-50, and being a member has always been a high honor. At the beginning, the Vestry helped in the maintenance and the collection of funds and donations to the Chapel. Today, in addition to assisting in the smooth running of the Sunday Chapel Services, we have been responsible for the seating of guests at football games, band concerts, the Christmas Pag- eant, and other Corps functions. In spite of the extra time and work we must put in, we have been willing to extend our services to our school and to God. Each year, one member of the Vestry is awarded the Chap- lain's Medal: he who has most faithfully, loyally and effi- ciently aided in service to the Alumni Memorial Chapel. This year's recipient was Cadet Second Lieutenant Thomas L. Smith, Chaplain's Assistant. This window, in remembrance of former Cadet A. Robert Toal, is in the Chapel served by the Cadet Chapel Vestry of which he was a member. From row: Mensinger, C., Weiner, T., Sitar, L., Velkoff, J.. Mantilia, R., Proetto, C., Macris, T.

The Acolytes Guild Love of God and Country is a precept to any service here at Valley Forge, and we of the Acolytes Guild consider that we are giving a part of ourselves to the service of God in the Alumni Memorial Chapel of Saint Cornelius, the Centurion. We are an elite group, and we have been that since 1939- 1940 when the Acolytes were a part of the Chapel Vestry. We were a hand-picked group then and we still are. Our duties as Acolytes are to be Crucifers and Acolytes in the many different services held in our Chapel. Many of us are not Episcopalian, the Creed under which our Chapel is dedicated, but if we can serve our God in any way, we feel that the time we give has been well spent: at Chapel, the Christmas Pageant, and Memorial services. A member of this elite body is permitted to wear a blue and white rib- bon with three silver stars.

The yearbook was first printed in 1929 1 a book of about 80 pages, paper-bound. The 1930 book was also one with a paper cover and consisted of about 112 pages. In 1931, the yearbook budget went down and the only semblance of a yearbook was an expanded edition of the school literary magazine, the Anvil, entitled June Week Edition. In 1932, the book went to 164 pages with a stiff cover and back to 71 pages in 1933. From that year on, it was a regular yearbook. Since its origin, the yearbook has worked with small and large staffs. In 1949, the staff numbered twenty-five Cadets. This year, the Crossed Sabres was produced by a staff of thirteen. We have found that with a small staff, greater flex- ibility is possible.

Since the first issue of the paper was published in 1936, the Legionnaire has changed many times in many different ways. The newspaper has been printed on many different types of paper, in several different shapes and sizes, and presided over by many Cadet editors, some of whom, like Eric Fisher Wood, have gone on to very great things afterward, but it has always served its purpose well - that of keeping the Corps informed of relevant news. This year, the Legionnaire, under the expert leadership of Captain Geo. Edwin Martin, Adviser, and Cadets Fredric Volkert, Editor-in-Chief, and Wessel Wickham, Managing Editor has improved the good standing which it achieved in 1968 by being named as a First Place paper by the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association. The Legionnaire is one of the outstanding organizations at the Academy. The young men who serve on its staff are ded- icated to the principles of good journalism and have a spirit which carries over to everthing they do. .,, .TV 1 iii J., Remensnyder, R.

Photo Workshop The Photographic Workshop here at the Academy performs a needed service to the three main publications: The Forge, The Legionnaire, and the Crossed Sabres. Cadets are al- lowed to use the facilities of the darkroom under the super- vision of their adviser, Lt. Colonel Heinrich. Cadets profi- cient in the use of the equipment work there many hours on their own work or producing photographs which are used in the above publications or in other media in use by the Public Information Office. The darkroom is well-equipped with all modern conveniences: enlarger, printers, developing tanks, solutions, and the other numerous items necessary to turning out good negatives and prints. In 1948, Valley Forge Military Academy recognized the need for Cadets to assist the Academy in the field of elec- tronics, thus the Audio-Visual Club of Valley Forge was formed. The Club is an essential part of the Academy's functioning. The main responsibility of this club is to provide audio-vis- ual service to the Academy. This includes work at football games, banquets, parades, concerts, chapel services, film programs, and creating or assembling displays for the show- case in Shannon Hall. Members, whenever and wherever possible, assist instructors with audio-visual teaching tools. The Audio-Visual Club helps the morale of the Corps, through the weekend movies which are shown here.

Members of the club meet once a week after school to study the secrets of the plant world. The members all take an active part in the plant growing contest, which is judged by several members of the Science Department in May. First and Second place winners receive, respectively, two and one year subscriptions to Horticulture magazine. Arts and Crafts Lt. Col.

Next, the students prepare an ideal germination medicine, The seeds are then germinated under excellent conditions in the Science Department's green house. The many plants are taken home by the students to add enjoyment and beauty to their gardens at home over the summer months, In our Arts and Crafts Workshop or Hobby Shop, we have produced many beautiful and utilitarian pieces of wood- working, ceramics, art work, and certain specialty items. Our shop is well equipped with all types of woodworking equipment: radial saws, lathes, Sanders, a drill press, and all the little tools necessary for a Cadet to turn out good work. The Cadets who work in our shop are guided in their work by Mr. Hill, a carpenter-mailman who spends much of his free time here instructing the Cadets in good workshop techniques. Cadet Napoli uses the miter saw in producing the frame for a shadow-box for his trophies. Front row: Loomer, R., Cornell, N., Kucenic, J., Trent, R., Wickham, W., Cassella, R., Polanco, J.

Composed exclusively of the most efficient and industrious Cadets of the entire company, this organiza- tion has given these selected members a thorough training in the artillery field. In addition, the club offered motor vehicle technique instruction. It was necessary for the members to pass an extremely diffi- cult exam which was a true test of the knowledge they had acquired. This year, the Battery Club was active in Company activi- ties by sponsoring the annual gunner's competition. The Club is indebted to Captain John Miller for his untiring ef- forts toward achieving spirit and efficiency. Marshall Kerry Cycle Club In the time that the Marshall Kerry Cycle Club has existed here at the Academy, there have been few years more active than 1968-69. Members of the Marshall Kerry are also members of the American Motorcycle Association, and fol- low the laws and safety regulations prescribed by the Club's laws. Membership in this club is limited to members of E Battery. Before the familiar 305 c.c. Hondas and 250 c.c. B.S.A.,s appeared at the Academy, the members of the cycle club rode the vintage Harley Davidson, with, what was known at the time as, the suicide shift. With the appearance of the newer motorcycles, the club adopted the name of the Mar- shall Kerry Cycle Club and became a chapter of the A.M.A. Valley, C., McFadden, W., Albanese, J., Supplee, G., Trent, R., Wickham, W., Agnes, J., Holden, B., Kucenic, J., Cornell, N. .- HV. sf' ff' .

The Harriers The Harriers Club is probably one of the oldest societies in the history of Valley Forge Military Academy. It was start- ed almost at the beginning of this great institution when all the staff and faculty wore the boots and britches' of the old horse cavalry. The Harriers Club has a long and distin- guished background and many greats in V.F. history have come from its membership. General Baker is a former Cav- alry Officer. The mission of the Harriers is to perpetuate the tradition of the cavalryg to promote good horsemanshipg and to inculcate in the Cadets the spirit, drive, and appearance of the cavalry trooper that marks all D Troop Cadets. In carrying out this mission, in this 40th year, the club promoted three very enjoyable Gymkhanas on horseback, a successful Polo sea- son, and an overnight bivouac and ride. Harriers bivouac at Lafayette Farm fRevolutionary Headquarters of Gen eral Lafayettej and get horses staked out for the night. ff -as T 'sq 4' QM f Valley Forge Mz'liZary Junior College 40th Anniversary Originally, the Valley Forge Military Junior College was not the separate entity that it is today. Up to the fall of 1958, it was distributed among the other companies of the Academy and shared the same classrooms and instructors. The college men were formed into Headquarters Company. In the fall of 1958, the Junior College officially separated from the Academy with General William Carne as Dean, and a converted Main Line estate as classroom space - Rosso Hall, named for Colonel Anthony Rosso, Chairman of the Foreign Language Department until his death in 1958. In 1960, Headquarters Company was dissolved and MF Company was born, composed solely of J.C.'sg and in 1964, they moved into Younghusband Hall, a college barracks. As the Junior College grew, General Carne resigned as dean to teach history, and Colonel Ralph Jones took that post, and it became necessary to form another company. In 1964, I Troop became the college artillery and mounted compa- ny. This year we have experienced more growth. The num- ber of J.C.'s is up 25'Z: and we are still growing. We have expanded to a faculty of fifteen and have twolmore class- room buildings, Hart Halls I and II. COLONEL JOHN H. ARBE- GAST, Assixlant Professor of Science.

V MJC Facult It has only been in the last few years that the Junior College has been a separate entity from the Academy at Valley Forge Military Academy. Up to 1958, when the Junior Col- lege was officially separated from the Academy, and formed into the Valley Forge Military Junior College, Cadets of the College were formed into Headquarters Company, and re- sided and learned with the Cadets of the Academy. The Ju- nior College men were housed in separate portions of the Academy barracks, and attended classes in Shannon Lho- tak, McCloskey, and Parker Halls. The first courses in a Junior College were established in October 1936, and the curriculum consisted mai-nly of a course in Business Administration. As the years went on, the College curriculum expanded, but the classes were still held in Academy classrooms. The ROTC unit also expanded in to the Advanced Courses and Summer Camps so that the Junior College Cadets could earn Military Science credits and become commissioned officers upon graduation from the Junior College, under certain regulations, Soon, many courses were being offered at the College level which here-to-for had only been Academy subjects at the Forge. Chemistry, biology, languages, history, typewriting, and English courses filled out the Junior College curriculum. In 1958, the Junior College was officially separated from the Academy, but still used Academy facilities. In 1964, the College Cadets moved into a newly-renovated, old Main Line mansion whose grounds adjoined the Academy, for their classrooms. This was on the hill. Now, a separate faculty was slowly formed. The Cadets also moved into Younghusband Hall. This was the Junior College barracks and has remained so. Study habits were changed to be more college-like. and the Cadets appreciated these changes. Ccontinued on page 1711 COLONEL FRANK J. HLA- VAC, Professor in Economics. B.A., M.A., M.B.A,.

We and our class- mates in the Sophomore Class and also those in the Fresh- man class were offered everything from the sciences and business administration to history, English, the humanities, government, economics, psychology and most modern lan- guages including Russian. We also found this year that the curriculum had been altered to offer terminal courses to those students who have no interest in continuing after leav- ing Valley Forge. These include mostly business and eco- nomic courses and two new ones: Economic Geography and American Political Parties and Pressure Groups. We have come a long way and although it isn't our 40th Anniversary, we share the Academy's pride in it. JC Facult Above: This is the way Rosso Hall looked in I964 when the building was first bought.

Phi heta Kappa Delta Epsilon Chapter 9 K Since its founding on November 19, 1929, in Canton, Mis- sissippi, Phi Theta Kappa has grown until today it boasts of a membership of 400 chapters across the nation. The Valley Forge Military Junior College chapter, Delta Epsilon, was admitted on April 19, 1940 and takes pride in the fact that it is one of the oldest chapters in the Middle Atlantic States Association of Junior Colleges. The object of Phi Theta Kappa, both at Valley Forge and nationwide, is to develop character, promote scholarship, and cultivate fellowship among the students of the junior colleges in the United States. The Delta Epsilon chapter selects its members from the upper scholastic l0'Zn of the Junior College and conducts induction ceremonies twice each year. This year the Delta Epsilon chapter participated in the Eastern Regional Con- ference held at Centenary College for Women at Hacketts- town, New Jersey. The conference provided the members of the chapter with a better understanding of Phi Theta Kappa and its role on other college campuses in the eastern section of the nation.

TACTICAL OFFICER Colonel William Godfrey In 1960, all Junior College Cadets were formed into the new F Company, when Headquarters Company was dis- solved. The unit was under the leadership of Cadet Gary Saeger and the Cadets of F Company became known as the Moosemen. These Cadets, being the oldest in the Academy, were grant- ed special privileges, and housed, first, in Kerry Hall and the Harvey's, and later in the new Younghusband Hall. This new building had study lounges on each floor where the men of F could have a regular college atmosphere. The Men of I,' Troop CAPTAIN COMPANY COMMANDER James B.

Since the fall of 1964, when In Troop was first formed, it has been led by Com- pany Commanders, who, by their zeal and industry, have created an outstanding unit. The need for a continuation of the Academy's artillery and cavalry units called for the formation of a new Junior Col- lege Company appropriately named I Troop. By the end of its first year, the Troop was know for its smartness, ap- pearance, and participation in drill, due, in no small part, to its first Tactical Officer, Lt. Colonel James Kelly. This year under a new approach to the Plebe System and through the excellent leadership of Cadets James Shepard and Craig Smith, the New Cadets displayed a pronounced spirit and Company unity.

Reserve Officers' Association Begun with less than ten members in the Spring of 1965, the John T. Boland Chapter of the Reserve Officers' Associa- tion today stands strong in the hands of over forty members. In the past four years, the chapter has not only increased in size, but also in its importance to the men of the Junior College. Cadets of the Junior College, enrolled in Advanced R.0.T.C., and who demonstrate a sincere interest in the many operations of and opportunities offered by the Armed Forces are eligible for membership. The strong will and able leadership with which Major Tommy Waugh, advisor, has given the Chapter will always be remembered in the years to come as proof of the high quality with which our Armed Forces are being led today. The discussions, films, guest speakers, and field trips with which he provided us further served to expand our knowl- edge and outlook upon our c0untry's fighting men.

Cadets desiring to be members and having a qualifying scholastic average are allowed to become members. The new members are urged to promote their interests in foreign cultures and international affairs in class and in extracurri- cular activities, and to present more channels to the mem- bers of discharging these activities and responsibilities.

Now a chartered member of the National Collegiate Organ- ization, the Administrative Management Society is an or- ganization consisting of members from the Business Admin- istration part of the curriculum of the Junior College. It is open to all young men of the College whose interests lie in the fields of business and finance, and wish, in later years, to be connected ith corporations and other aspects of big business. During this past year, the members visited the hub of all United States business enterprises: The New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. Dur- ing our visit there, for a full day, we were lectured to and we toured these places where the economic policy of the United States is mainly decided. We were also privileged to hear members of the Alumni who returned, as they do annually, to tell us of their experi- ences in the fields of business. Some of those distinguished alumni who spoke to us, who have made a place for them- selves in the economic world, were W. George Stocker, '57 JC, Lawrence Brown, '47, Alvin E. Rittenhouse, '59, John Robinson, '47, and William Pettibon, '46, fSee picturej dministrative Management Society Members of the Alumni fsee article! hold an Occupational Seminar in Hart Hall lecture room for members.

Fine Arts all d usic Society Recognizing the profusion of cultural opportunities in the metropolitan Philadelphia area such as the Academy of Music, the Spectrum, with its special musicalsg the Phila- delphia Art Museum, and others like these, this society seeks to take advantage of them, particularly in the field of the performing arts, This year our group attended a concert at the Academy of Music, took a self-conducted tour of the art museum, and attended numerous plays and motion pictures. We even at- tended a performance of the opera. These outside activities were balanced by a calender of on-campus, studcnt-spon- sored, programs of cultural worth. The society imposes an academic qualification for membership and for participation in the activities of the group. I a , .

The Cadets of the year's Junior College Varsity Club are members of the Corps who have upheld the motto of Valley Forge - Courage, Honor, Conquer f on the athletic field. They are athletes who believe that to win is not the single goal of athletics. These sportsmen believe that the ideals of sportsmanship, like the ideals of the Academy, are equally important. Courage to meet an opponent, Honor to play in a fair and sportsmanlike manner, and the ambition to Conquer are all attributes that typify the membership of the Junior College Varsity Club. We of the Club who are graduating plan to live by these same ideals, as Alumni. 1 31 3 Qin 5 Blue, G., Cober, R., Slater, W., Summer, B., Satriano, W. Honorar uill and Scroll A Wifls. The Quill and Scroll International Honorary Society for High School Journalists is as the society title states, normal- ly for high school students who have accomplished some- thing in the field of journalism. In recent years, however, the Society has expanded itself to give Honorary Memberships to those who have been active in fields of journalism, but do not come under the regulation that they are high school stu- dents. It is under this situation that we of the Valley Forge Military Junior College have become Honorary members of Quill and Scroll and were so named at the annual Publica- tions Dinner. Three members of the Faculty at Valley Forge were also so honored this year: Lt. Colonel Lawrence Heinrich I Crossed Sabres Adviserjg Captain Edwin Geo.

Most of our losses were in non-conference games and had the final game, against Peirce Junior College, which was in the conference first place, been a winner for the team, we would have been in first place. We started off badly by losing to North East Christian Ju- nior College, but it was the Ocean Community College match in which we lost three starting players because of in- juries. This took three stars out of most of the following games, and, although the rest of the team played hard, they just didn't have the support that these three men could have given them. Our one big claim to fame came in the middle of the sea- son when we trounced the Spring Garden Institute by a score of 9-1. 1Dl 2 24 is Kneeling: Wong, A., Young, W., DuVall, G., Slater, W., Sinkiewicz, R., O'Neill, S.

This year's Basketball Team was, by far, the hardest work- ing team in the Junior College. Coached by Captain Willig, and led by Captains Bill Slater and Gregg Duvall, this year's team best exemplified the spirit of the Academy with its never say die attitude. Through Coach Willig's untiring efforts, the team displayed determination, vigor, and enthusiasm as well as good sportsmanship. The entire season was a losing one, although we only played four games, scheduled as we could get them, other teams already having a set schedule. We have gained knowledge and with many freshmen returning, a new athletic policy, and a dedicated coach, next year will be different.

Under the leadership of team captain James Reider, the members of the team sacrificed leisure Spring afternoons for rigorous practice sessions that resulted in superb hitting and fielding unleashed on such opponents as the U. S. Naval Academy and the U. S. Coast Guard Academy. Looking ahead to next year, Coach McVoy feels that the team will be just as strong with the return of eight starters from this year's team.

It is quite fitting that in these last pages of the 40th Anniversary edition of the Crossed Sabres, since we have the chance this year, a representative few of the many Cadets of the Valley Forge Military Academy and the Valley Forge Military Junior College to whom HONORS have been presented, be shown. We have not attempted to pick out the best . . . there are no 'Best'g they are all being honored. These that we have picked, just seem to lit our layout. There has been no dis- crimination, no favoritism shown - these are simply repre- sentative MEN of the Academy who have done their work and duties well, and are so honored.

Slater, Jr. Editor in Chief Junior College Editor Epilogue With this fortieth edition of the CROSSED SA BRES, we finish another chapter in the history of the Long Gray Line. It is now time for us, the graduating classes, to move ahead and put into use all of the principles and ideals which we have been taught over the last four years. With this anniversary issue we have tried to show you the life as we knew it as Cadets at Valley Forge and how our Alma Mater has grown and proven itself to be second to none since its beginning in 1929 at an old hotel in Devon. We have striven this year to publish a book which, when picked up in the years to come, will remind you of those days when you were part of the Corps of Cadets. We hope that you will look back with nostalgia on those times when we worked, laughed, played, and cried together. Although it is now time for us to shed our Cadet Grey, we will always be a part of the long gray line - we ARE VALLEY FORGE. ll. 203 A. UA Company. 114 Academic, 6, 51 Abrams.
