Robert Frost For one to imagine that the nature of these obstacles will change is to succumb to fancy, or, at the best, to wishful thinking. After the initial shock and temporary loss of identity, one slowly comes to the realization that there is method in this madness. Unity is instilled in the fledgling freshmen, for they are all — RATS — in a system where everyone is bound by a sense of honor, and dedicated to a corps-created criterion which dictates the expulsion of the transgressor nm iiliiiii i liiiiii , . bound to an institution that creates and demands self-discipline, resulting in a sense of pride . . . . . . bound to each other by a mutual need for compassion and criticism . . into creative activity . laughing at the submission to routine Su?

The apprehension arising from the impending confrontation with future challenges is mitigated by the cadet ' s knowledge that he has already adapted to and succeeded in a mentally and physically demanding environment, an environment that has inspired confidence, and above all, required a complete and balanced perspective of self-discipline and responsibility. because he has taken the less-traveled road there is solace in the knowledge that the last hurrah is his. j - $tf-ttiF THE 1971 BOMB WKSSSImsfc EDITOR-IN-CHIEF - JIM ADAM8 MANAGING EDITOR - MEREDITH BARKLEY BUSINESS MANAGER - DAVE COULTER ADVERTISING MANAGER - PETE CANDLER CIRCULATION MANAGER - JOHN BIGGS THE SUPERINTENDENT Completing his eleventh year as Superintendent, Lieutenant General George R. E. Shell will end his tenure at Virginia Mili- tary Institute upon his retirement on 30 June 1971. During this same period of time, American campuses have changed in both attitudes and their actual physical plants at a rate never en- countered before in the annals of education. It would be a tax- ing job for any man to be witness to these demands for both academic and environmental freedoms, and still maintain the rigorous, tradition-steeped system the V.M.I, requires that all its men adhere to. The emphasis upon academic change has been admirably met. Under General Shell ' s direction, the curricula came under close scrutiny, and as problems arose, their solutions were found accordingly. The Institute has also maintained one of the larger and most qualified faculties in the state. There has, in re- cent years, an increasing amount of discussion concerning greater personal freedoms for the cadets in their academic en- deavors, and it is hoped that in the near future these desires can be considered seriously. From the standpoint of environmental changes, General Shell initiated a building program that has aided tremendously the facilities of administration, alumni, and cadets alike. Per- haps the most outstanding contribution for the cadets was the construction of the new Cadet Union, Lejeune Hall, which has added to both the comfort and convenience of the Corps with- out detracting from the basic demanding advantages of bar- racks life. Although there are many who have criticized General Shell ' s methods, his contributions will be realized to the greatest ex- tent by our alumni who can see that he has maintained the tra- dition that they knew and has kept V.M.I, a respected academ- ic institution. BOARD OF VI8ITOR8 Organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Virginia Military Institute is gov- erned by a Board of Visitors. The Board is com- posed of fifteen members, eleven coming from the state at large, two non-resident alumni, and two ex-officio members. Acknowledging the unique- ness of the Institute, eleven members of the current Board attended VMI. These members are appointed by the Governor and approved by the State Sen- ate. The Governor of Virginia, His Excellency, A. Linwood Holton, is the Commander-in-Chief, and the Honorable Sol W. Rawls, Jr. is serving as Presi- dent of the Board at the present time. Although the Board of Visitors is required to meet at least once a year, it usually meets more often. In addition to this, the Superintendent is empowered to call the Board into session at any time he feels it necessary to do so. His Excellency A. Linwood Holton Governor of Virginia Lt. Gen.

Through its pro- grams of scholarships, loans, faculty aid and im- provement, and support of cadet activities, the Foundation has been of direct assistance to indi- vidual cadets and faculty members as well as to the Institute as a whole. The VMI Foundation maintains permanent of- fices in W. L. Moody, ' 86 Hall under the direc- tion of Mr. J. D. Neikirk, ' 32, executive vice-pres- ident. Here, by charter, the foundation receives and administers gifts and bequests which are used where state funds are not obtainable. Here, the Foundation provides a means by which indi- viduals, classes, and organizations may effec- tively support the VMI education. Mr. Joseph D. Neikirk Foundation Executive Vice President ALUMNI AQQOCIATION E. Jackson Tice Executive Secre+ar As long as there have been VMI alumni, there has been a VMI Alumni Association. Praised throughout the country as one of the most outstanding alumni associations in ex- istence, it now maintains active correspondence with over 9,100 members. VMI alumni, bound together through common trials and traditions, have long been known for their loyalty to their school and to each other. The Alumni Association, under the direction of E. Jack- son Tice, executive secretary, seeks to keep former cadets in contact with their Brother Rats and fellow cadets in many ways. These include publication of the quarterly Alumni Review, files on all alumni, class reunions, chapter meetings and maintainence of the new alumni hall, Wil- liam L. Moody ' 86 Hall. The Alumni Association also con- tinues support of the VMI itself through its alliance with numerous cadet activities. Through its officers and membership, the VMI Alumni Association, as stated in its charter, seeks to organize the alumni and old cadets of the Virginia Military Institute in one general body, so as the better to keep alive the memories of Institute life, and by their united efforts the more efficiently to aid in the promotion of its educational purposes in the future. IN MEMORIAM Col. Medford G. Ramey On January 1, 1971, Colonel Medford G. Ramey died in a Richmond hospital. M. G. Ramey was a member of the V.M.I. Class of 1922 and served from 1926 1931 as Instructor, Assistant Professor of English, and Assistant Coach. From 1932-1941 he was head of the Physical Educa- tion Department, and developed VMI ' s intramural pro- gram. He was also Assistant Coach in football, basket- ball, and track, and served as Director of Athletic Publici- ty- He had been Vice President of the VMI Sportsmen ' s Club and a member of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association before accepting the task of Executive Manager of the Sportsmen ' s Club in 1966. From 1966-1971 his efforts doubled the membership and income of the organization. He pursued his love, until his death, striving to stabilize VMI athletics. M. G. Ramey deeply believed in the VMI man, and his long years of work for VMI exemplified his optimism for a successful athletic program. This man loved VMI and expressed this love by a life dedicated to the Institute. Spec. 5 Perry Rawl Norris He was our coach, yes. But more than that he was our friend and one of us. Somebody said, He thought a lot of you boys. But not nearly as much as we thought of him. The Team WHO ' S Thomas F.Guthrie, III Ronald L. Meng William F. Wadsworth, III Medford G.

CLA98E9 THE FIR9T CLA88 What can you say about a three year dream that died? Withered, literally and in the hearts of its true believers. You can say that it was beautiful, that it was neces- sary, that it was non-violent and that it should have worked. The Class of 1971, in its final year at the Institute, at- tempted to enlighten everyone concerned about the state of the Corps and VMI in today ' s society. To our dismay we found that too few were concerned and most of those supported a grandiose vision of the past tempered with a regrisitable lack of understanding of present day youth. We tried not to be too selfish in desiring to make relevant to us and on coming generations. Everyone was working for this common goal — within the means to the end lay the dissention. We have tried to refrain from wallowing in self-pity. We are not the less for the authentic struggle, only weary and somewhat disillusioned in ourselves and in man ' s basic gift for genuine and honest communica- tion. The only graffiti this year was that Christmas will come on Thursday. U . As Alumni, we are supposed to look back on this year and grin widely at the happiness and comrade- ship we experienced. Many of us will only see the chil- ly irony of it all . . . In the end we have a semblance of an education, enforced personal discipline, four years of social stagnation and frustrations to eradicate whatever view one of us takes . . . We cannot ever ig- nore those we suffered with — the best we ' ll ever have. This is as far as we have gotten. We ' re still a little too objective at this time to write a traditional class his- tory or to judge ourselves or our actions. That burden falls to posterity. DEDICATION It is always difficult to put into words the sense of loss the Corps experiences when one of its fellow ca- dets dies during his tenure here at the Institute. On June 1 9, 1 970, the Corps lost two of its members, and the Class of 1971 two of its Brother Rats. Butch Brad- shaw and Gary Martin had already established envia- ble records in almost every facet of cadet life, but per- haps most outstandingly in this publication. Butch was to have been Editor-in-Chief and Gary the Photogra- phy Editor of the 1971 BOMB and these positions were earned only after both had spent their entire cad- etships on the BOMB Staff. It is entirely safe to say that both Butch and Gary were dedicated to making this yearbook the finest possible, and that we have en- deavored to fulfill their dreams. In so doing, we are not attempting to establish a precedent for any future BOMB, but feel that, in light of our loss on the staff, in the class, and in the Corps, the 1971 BOMB can only be dedicated to them.

Dribbling off his foot into the life of Iron Man and into the heart of the Corps came an innocent, knock- Kneed. lanky kid from Warsaw. Indiana. A kaleidoscope picture of Ess ' must include a perpetu- ally out-of-tuned guitar, a magnanimous chin, late night B-S sessions, B-ball, and Sorry guys, I ' ve got some class stuff to take care of. Entangled in his fifth stoop ivory tower, gazinq down at the two A.M. slumbering mass of a special breed of vola- tile humanity, Ess often felt the weight of isolation that comes with responsibility that was known only to him. This sense of isolation, however, was always immediately cast off when he came in contact with those that sought him both as a leader and as a friend. Iron Man ' s favorite scapegoat succeeded in all his endeavors: graduating with distinction, as one of VMI ' s finest athletes, and as room I58 ' s most illustrious member. The rest is silence.

To keep ones wits about him while all others are losing theirs would have to be an attribute of Al Dav.s ' s.

Addison Hagan Award. | Al has decided to continue his life after graduation. He should certainly be a spark of vitality, as can be seen by his frequent exhibition of an outstanding business mind here at the Institute. His ventures have included: selling liberal Alvin-Denms fashions to the poor, conservative ca- dets for only twice the price: raffling off a $75 phono- graph for $50 and making up the difference by secretly renting his roommate to an underclassman as a dyke for a week. In contrast to his fair business dealings his social life may be described as extremely pornographic. For a great many people. Al has been a controversial figure.

The test for any person is — that is you want to find out whether he s an apple tree or not — Does he Bear Apples? Does He Bear Fruit?

There are few people who come to VMI with a definite goal in mind and then pursue that goal through four tu- multuous years: but then there are few people like Phil Allum. Who would have thought that Philo would be R.A. material on first seeing him as a Rat? But. with a little help and a lot of determination Phils four years went like this: Dean ' s List. 1st ranking corporal, academic stars, 1st, 1st ranking sergeant, academic stars, 1st ranking in summer camp, academic stars, and Kathy. For a very long time Philo ' s abstinence from wine, women and song struck most of us as being quite unreal, if not simply unhealthy. But that certain element of f emininity entered the picture, along with a more liberally-oriented mind, and our impres- sions of hard-rock Philo changed overnight. Still, whatever side of the fence Philo may be on, h,s Brother Rats will re- member h,m as one of those rare individuals who com- bined academics military and fun into one short tenure at VMI. We all look forward to the day when Ph.lo reports for Ranger School with shoulder-length hair, a full beard, a Ph.D. and a sports car decorated with peace signs, air- borne wings, and an M-16.

Few realized that in their presence was the future Maharajah. of the Blue Elephant. Andy, a man of great potential, budded into one of the premier butterfly men on the swimming team, a pretty good accomplishment considering the fact that most fire hydrants don ' t even float. Andy ' s talent as an interior de- corator soon caught the eye of the Buildings and Grounds Department, who during his Second Class year asked him for some suggestions for spicing up the drabness of the gym floor. Trash ' s now famous reply at Ring Figure brought ohs and ahs from all those fortunate enough to see it. All fooling aside there are a few people who have been more congenial or outgoing than Andy. His success can be measured by his high ranking in the Biology curriculum, but even more so by the lasting friends he has made. You couldn ' t know Andy without liking him. After graduation, many BS sessions will miss his silvered tongue, many rooms will miss his nightly crusade for food, and many friends will miss his advice and companionship.

During his third class year, much to his chagrin, he discov- ered the answer, but he decided to try and stick it out anyway, partly because he had received a state cadetship in his first year and partly because of parental advice.

He must have still been dreaming to think Lexington would suffice for Denver, but fortunately for VMI, the AF Academy was right about his excessive eye refraction and he never knew what he was missing. He managed to keep pretty busy with sports, mainly football and when he wasn ' t practicing he was always reading something — John had a book with him no matter what he was doing or where he was going. His overseas travels during his furloughs resulted in some pretty tall tales, but we like to think that some of them are true — there has to be a paradise somewhere.

His limitless sense of humor, combined with his total- ly unselfish character, have helped sustain both himself and his Brother Rats through their cadetships. Picked by his Brother Rats to be his company ' s first ranking corporal. Dick refused the position, causing Jamie Totten ' s glasses to melt in a desperate rage. But Dick saw this position as too limiting to his real goals at VMI. In- stead. Dick has always dedicated himself to those activi- ties which benefit the greatest number of his classmates. To wish Dick future success is facetious, because success ,s assured to the man who can identify with a faint Part- ner as a lasting testimonial to Dick.

Third Class Crackdown Committee, Cadet Paperboy, Academic Probation Rich came to VMI from J.M.H.S. in Richmond not really knowing what the place was all about. He just thought ev- eryone else was going to COLLEGE so why shouldn ' t he? After the initial shock of his Rat year and rooming with Ned. he adjusted quickly to the military life. However, it was not until the end of his Third Class year, two summer schools, and three semesters of Chemistry 101 that he ad- lusted to the academic scene. Since then he has learned how and when to study and has become an accomplished student in History. A sufferer of Sem. Syndrome his Sec- ond Class year, he quickly learned it is better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all. So what else can we say? Good luck Rich, in whatever you decide to do .

The morning of September 8th brought the rude awak- ening that VMI wasn ' t the college envisioned. Bad grades and problems his third class year were caused by over-reaction to the system. Second class year began the molding of a person. He realized the system was the way it was. so there was no sense in bucking it. As a First Classman. Mark was able to see the system in perspective. Although, not agreeing with the Corps phi- losophy of life, he realized that he must try to give the sys- tem his able Influence.

As the years evolved the order of realization seems to have reversed. After surviv- ing the lean years of VMI Cadefship. he and Chris will probably happily make a lifetime out of it. After entering VMI football as a complete unknown and leaving in the same manner we can only say that he has learned many lessons from the Big Red that he will never forget. As for the degree, a lot of hard work remains to be completed to realize this lofty ambition. After several (!) years three dif- thn endle Beep-Beep weekend, and the countless other miseries of his cadetship, a diploma will be totally anticlimatic. No plans for instant success are in his mind but with a girl like Chris kicking his broad expanse, he ' ll make it somewhere. Let ' s just hope whatever he does turns out better than his G.P.A.

His permits have kept him off confine- ment every weekend except one. when the Timmins Room had to substitute for the infamous red quilt.

Usually found wrapped around a girl and or a bottle on the weekends, Gindy spent the rest of his time buried in his hay, the P.X., or the steam bath ... or. occasionally, in his books. All seriousness aside. Sweet William follows a long fami- ly tradition in attending these hallowed halls of learning. (All the way back to 1843). but he has failed the family In one way — he will probably graduate. (Even though he spent one third of his college campused.) Gindy leaves the VMI with only one unanswered question . . . why? (Even Buddy couldn ' t answer it.) The future sees Sweet William searching for answers among the grapevines of Italy, the fleshpots of Paris, and the textbook of life that is missing from the stacks of Pres- ton Library. He might just find it. Roy Marvin Glass, Jr. Rudy- Civil Engineering, Air Force, Cpl.. Pvt.. Rat Swimming. Rat Swimming Coach. Dean ' s List. Distinguished Academ- ic Student.

Steve was a huge man both in stature and charac- ter. A quiet, shy fourth classman who abstained from booze, women, smoking, even cursing (unbelievable) Strong and tough, a good athlete in any sport that did not require him to use his hands, he was always a good com- petitor in anything he tried. Big S was a status-quo type person who was always willing to help, but he never seemed to need any himself. The Big Bear is uncomplicat- ed and gentle. Bad is a perfect example of what hard work can get you, in the classroom and in all his undertakings. All of the ' wildness that Steve had came from one source, Rick Cook.

No other cadet has such a complete knowledge of VMI and its grounds, nor shared this knowledge with so many of Virginia ' s finest ladies. Specializing in his own way. Bud has become the bar- racks authority on Michelangelo and his art of creation. There Is no doubt in our minds that such a devoted stu- dent will always achieve the fulfillment of his desires and piously enjoyed his conquests. Ralph Bernard Gr, Physics, Artillery, Pvt..

VMI en- abled him to see how trite many values of the military really are. Thus a large part of Bernard ' s time at VMI was spent studying Physics in Mallory Hall, and most of the rest of the time was spent thinking about Cathy. Bernie will be remembered by his Brother Rats for many things, but most of all for his fun loving attitude and frien- dliness.

When the Big Kid from Belmar. New Jersey chose the cramped style of a military existence over fun on the Jo- isey Shore. he had a special method in his maddness? — enough activity to obliterate most of the unpleasant- ness and boredom. This was especially evident in his grand arrival, for rumor has it that Guffo arrived on a roaring Easy Rider motorcycle, garbed in helmet and black leather jacket, with tape deck, guitar, surfboard, stereo and plenty of room left under his huge arms. Guffo ' s life at VMI strikingly resembles such an en- trance, for never has any cadet shouldered so many lead- ership posts and duties while still maintaining adequate rack period and an academic average good enough for class cuts. All of us have enjoyed the company of this sin- cere, soft spoken guy with the Northern accent and we can only look forward to news of his further adventures in the big Game.

Bucko entered VMI as a Marine, and stayed one for four years. He has experienced both academic and mili- tary success here, and has been one of us to support the System from the word Go. He was a stern, hard-rock cadet until Death Wilson and the Cabbage Patch got a hold of him, and he met a little girl named Gretchen. His first class year has been the most exciting. He worked diligently for the school he loved with the Posit Committee, and commanded the VMI Rangers. Then he got engaged. Bucko got engaged! and went on a Ranger patrol the next day.

Buck will always be remembered for his innovative spirit. During his Third Class year, he pioneered the use of the tape recorder in the enforcement of the ratline. This spirit was further reflected in his many entrepreneural adven- tures, some of which were cut off abruptly such as Buck ' s Barber Shop vs. The Commandant ' s Office. Buck was a real enthusiast at one of VMI ' s major sports, late study. The sounding of taps, almost every night, finds him either in the Cadet room or the Barracks Study Room facing the rapidly blurring pages of a book. One should ask him what it is like to have the second highest number of demerits coming from unauthorized late study and the highest number from having long hair. A prime illustration of Buck ' s amorous activities may be seen when he got a date with the only WAC that the Armed Forces Club encountered on their trip to Fort Bragg.

Sam leaves the Institute with his degree in Civil Engi- neering, a Corvette, and anxiously awaiting his chance to be turned loose on the world. SAMUEL HARDING KIRBY, JR.

Phil has always had a hard time ad|usting to new situa- tions, first to VMI. then to civilian life and then to VMI again. Phil was one of those who could do with the place for more than one semester. Level-headed and quiet, he has never been known to go off half-cocked or to talk be- fore he had all the facts. Phil has always been a proponent of the moderate faction in barracks. There has been one motivating force in Milk ' s life, and that is medicine. He kept up a voluminous correspondence with almost every major med school in the country. His ability to look on the sunny side of every problem and his extensive vocabulary will be remembered by everyone who has roomed within shouting distance of his room. The Johnstown Flood ' ' has made an appearance at every sig- nificant event that has occurred during his cadetship but his meek, unassuming character has kept him in the back- ground. We wish Phil all the luck in the world In the years to come. John Grandin Reading Kreamer Spic Civil Engineering, Air Force, Pvt., American Society of Civil Engineers.

I ' m getting out of this place if I don ' t get the grades — how many times has John uttered these words — but every year he made his inevitable return to the Institute John entered the Rat Class as a refugee from Rota. Spain and with his long hair and dark complexion he soon took on his nickname of Spic. John has never found the military system to his liking — How many push-ups do you owe me Mr. Kreamer? A hundred and sixty, sir. Or Look what I did, Mr. Sartori. John has always put good times before grades as is shown in his GPA. His worst semester came during his Third Class year where he spent more time developing incendiary bombs and flame throwers, than burning up the academics — he is still trying to re- cover from that . ? average. Spic has had to take year round residence in Lexington, not to his own liking, but summer school has always been a necessity. This, however, has not stopped him from visiting home. These races got him the nickname — Parnelli Kreamer, who else could make it to D.C. in VI, hours. But where ever you find him after graduation his hair will be long and his manner al- ways happy.

Big Lar and Chin Archer straightened him out. or did they? Maybe it was his life as one of the three Musketeers. The old 41 I bunch has gone through a few roomies, but never found one that could fit in when Cox couldn ' t win everytime. Krooge changed through his years at the Tute. Even when things were darkest, Dave held on; as someone once said: It ' s always darkest before the storm, and it got kinda black there a couple of times with applications going out and catalogues coming back in. He wised up, though (?). and stuck it out making the change from C.E. to History which eliminated all labs except for Horizontal Lab in which he is. perhaps, one of VMI ' s top researchers. Dave ' s true potential was deeply buried in mounds of academla until that fateful day when so many corporals bit the dust in Echo, and he and Jelly were made. The romance with rank took a short intermission, but the ghost of Big Lar was hovering over and the bars appeared again. He ' ll be a career man — it ' ll just take a while to show.

Leaving home wasn ' t half fhe shock as finding who his new roommates were. It was tough having to live with the Grunge Towel, Mirror Man, Wishy- Washy, and Corn Kid, but Ashton made it, aside from being handicapped as a C.E. After his freshman year at college, Ashton set to work on his grades and recultivating the little curl in his hair. Now, with both firmly established, he wonders how he did it, especially after 3 years with Hendrix Heely and Wild Pitch Snow, not to mention his fellow Rugger roommate Rick Lloyd. . Ashton is a down to earth, party going, good guy. He s had his share of sorrow but he has shown he can overcome any problem because he has that basic, inner drive and character which demands the respect of all.

Ron decided to leave football and concentrate on his studies. He soon earned academic distinction and joined the galaxy club in which he quickly earned the title of Chief K.A. Besides being a star on the Rugby team Ron enjoyed several scoring sprees as a bedroom athlete and quickly became known as the guy with one thing on his mind. Ron s exploits with the opposite sex have become a legend and serve as an inspiration to young cadets striving to re- lieve their sexual frustrations.

As a matter of fact, there was quite a bit of smog between his ears, that ' s the reason he came to VMI. He expected to be promoted to Regimental Com- mander within the first week of his cadetship (owing to previous exemplary military bearing at Hargrave). But he had a rude awakening! He ended up as the only man with grey shoes to room with two cadet captains. Rick found his only hero at VMI in Charlie Kershaw. And we all remember what happened to Charlie, don ' t we? He set a record in the math department by being the only man to take Rat Math eight times and still get a D. Rick ' s major accomplishment at VMI has been to ac- quire nicknames: Carbo-rick, Mouse, Gross Rick, channel master, Mystic Moods, etc. He, among his other achieve- ments, was the first casualty of the skydiving club (he fell off the two foot practice platform). He has had more lousy blind dates than anyone. Can anyone forget good ole Wendy, especially the Iron Major? Ring Figure was a fiasco, graduation will be also. However, no matter what becomes of Rick, it will definite- ly be a surprise. In the immortal words of Jerry Acuff. he never G.A.S. and probably never will.

Many a hay has shattered beneath his hustling form, and many an affront wilted in the path of his memorable stare. Despite his late move to Florida, he had still exhibited a unique Virginia hospitality that is flavored with a friendly success morning, or an after tops skulk to keep everyone on their toes (and usu- ally their backs). We ' ll all remember him as a charter mem- ber of the G rilled Ham and Cheese Club, an aptly titled officer of Rocks anonymous, yet a devoted track star and afternoon Lab B.ology Major. His charisma forewarns of a big day — somewhere, someday, and the world had best watch out.

From the list of achievements which Cadet Captain Thomas Ewing Martenstein has above, one might at first be tempted to suppose that Tom was fast approaching that virtuosity usually reserved for the Renaissance man. However, let us delve a little deeper Into fact. If one looks closely at these achievements, it soon becomes apparent that many are fillers designed in the true fashion of Ben- venuto Cellini, primarily to buoy his rapidly falling ego. Seething in mediocrity, Tom. in the best tradition of the drowning man, made a valiant final attempt at promi- nence with a short jaunt to the mountains of western N.C. and a strong bid in the Public Relations Office; however, to no avail, he was a little late and thus nipped in the bud. With dubious support from his athletic laurels, a neigh- boring woman ' s college, his G.P.A.. and patented pro- gram of two hours of concentrated study, Tom has in his own way triumphed to the extent that one might well say Men like Martenstein are above the law . . . almost.

His pa- tience, his understanding attitude, and his sincerity quickly made him one of the most respected and well-liked mem- bers of the Corps. At VMI his cadetship was marked by the conscientious way that he approached every task. Long hours and hard work was the secret as he tackled the academic environ- ment of Scott Shipp Hall, actively participated on the baseball team, and still managed to enjoy the meager so- cial life that prevails at the Institute. Yes, his fine personal characteristics and his ability to withstand hard work are instruments that many desire, but few are privileged to have. Spook will utilize these to achieve a prominent position in society and in doing this be a credit to the Class of 71.

Ron was not one to let such a small matter keep him down. His indefatigable drive and desire for rank and all of the power and responsibility of same, enabled him to jump over hurdle 6 and return his Third class year with stripes on his sleeve. His Second class year had its ups and downs. First there was Ring Figure and six stripes. Then there was Becky and six shots. Ron was down but not for good. He bounced right back to become the Institute ' s first Ad Man. It was in this capacity that Ron was known as The Machine. Whether academically, mili- tarily or socially. Ron ' s stay at the Institute could only be termed successful. Who else was consistently on the Dean ' s List, made a personal visit to the Commandant of the Marine Corps, and always managed to come up with a good looking date at the right time?

For Ned too was ruled by his heart and as such could never grasp the importance of a spit-shined toe. Somehow, when he came here the trivial remained just that to him. But what he did understand was the meaning of honest, undemanding friendship which he offered to all. He understood the meaning of dedication, desire, and hard work in both academics and athletics. He understood the importance of a good laugh or a good cry. VMI will miss its Baby Bull. NED MATTHEW MIKULA Virginia Beach, Virginia Douglas Barker Mile Civil Engineering.

Air Force, Pvt., Rat Wrestling, Baseball Manager. CADET Staff, Ring Figure Magazine, Sounding Brass — Publicity Manager, IRC. Kirk: the story of a VMI Anti-hero. VMI produces gen- erals and statesmen and the whole gamut of heroes; and then it also develops a very rare breed — the anti-hero. Kirk adopted a facksmean philosophy early in his cadet- ship and resolved to be a member of a more colorful breed. To be an anti-hero the initiate has to develop a very special attitude toward life and the Institute. Kirk adopted and developed both very readily. And. so. if we were to look in on K k m a normal day, we would find him warding off the hectic system by applying himself diligently to a crossword puzzle or attempting to master a deck of cards. Like most Anti-heroes of our time. Kirk has gotten what he wants and undoubtedly will use it to his best advan- tage. No one will have to worry about him because he doesn ' t want them to.

With this began the greatest love-hate relationship that this bastion of Southern aristocracy has ever seen. J.T. actually came to VMI the epitome of innocence, and aft er rising through the ranks of military and academ- ic excellence, the time for a little fun in life had arrived. It is difficult to imagine anyone doing the things the Duke did without getting caught, while still maintaining his aust- ere bearing for the Right People. His success cannot be denied; his record speaks for it- self. John leaves the Institute.

He has worked to earn stars; yet which other high-ranking English major, when asked if he wanted to try for a Woodrow Wilson Scholar- ship, would tell Dodo, No, sir. I just want to go in the Army and DESTROY. Ever the anti-Romantic, Moon believes in Nietzsche. Airborne, and Teutonic Efficiency. Yet his devotion to VMI shows that he is an old Corps man. and his predilec- tion for the past hints of romanticism, a paradox. Because of his consistency of character and his frank- ness, he will do well in the Regulars, and his career .will be another story of Der Sieg des Willens. ■■J.P. ' Biology. Artillery. Cpl., Pvt..

For the last four years, VMI has been the workshop for an outstanding individual, John Noon. An excellent stu- dent and fine athlete, he both works hard and plays hard but puts them in their proper perspective. In any field of endeavor, there was no goal that Johnny could not attain and the young ladies soon found this out. However, Johnny seems dedicated to Public Health and working for the things he cares about most — people. One might wonder just what motivates this young man. A beautiful girl named Diana! And soon these two will make a perfect couple. Best to you both! If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

Mike came to VMI with the intention ot knocking them dead, and he did this as a star defensive end for the Big Red. Being a civil engineer for four years hasn ' t kept Mike out of action. He was frequently seen escorting young damsels around the Lexington scene, and was often in de- mand over at Southern Sem. Although Mike had the longest hair in the Corps, he knew how to keep it and stay out of trouble at the same time. This was one of the highlights of his cadetship be- sides a welcome lack of demerits. Mike was a dedicated student but always found time to help struggling freshmen with calculus. Mike plans on going to graduate school, preferably at UVA in his hometown. With his desire and perserverance. we are sure Mike will be a success In whatever field he chooses. Good luck, Mike! Marion Dabney Oakley, Jr. The Pillsbury Dough Boy Zeroke Drab History, Air Force.

Despite these activities he found time for a lot of partying and four years of the tennis team. Between academics and his var- ied interest. Barry had succeeded in getting a real educa- tion at VMI.

But at the bottom of the mountain he ran into VMI. This wasn ' t quite the life he expected, but he decided to make the best of it by pretending he was somewhere else. Nevertheless, his third class year. Oz was a corporal — a distinction he I ved with for a record-breaking 2 months. It was at this time that Oscar realized, as many of us do, that he was destined for the Ghetto. He quickly erased all memory of corporalhood and performed all duties and responsibilities as a hardened Ghetto Veteran. He later distinguished himself with Ghetto honors of Summer Camp, and won the true friendship of us all. But Oscar still hadn ' t found exactly what he was looking for at VMI, so he rode West — Mexico, Colorado, and Iowa — but never stopping quite long enough to give the girls a chance. The Big O probably has a lot more riding to do before he settles down. But we. his classmates, are cer- tainly glad he stopped over at VMI for the four short years. For it is seldom that you find a friend who would do the impossible for you the way Oscar seemed to — good luck. Big O. Marl Andrew Palmer Palmy ' ' Civil Engineering, Armor. Pvt., Varsity Football.

The three rooms afforded great opportunity for trouble, but Mark escaped with only a score by the good Capt. Miller. September ' 69 brought 233. a CE instead of an EE. and the continuing, but now, flourishing relationship with Sue Ann.

This last Septem- ber brought 137 not only a full-fledged cadet-waiter, but a guide-on as well. Mark leaves VMI in May. still quiet, a CE, and still with Sue Ann.

Command- George is an example of what can happen to you if you have determination, practice, military bearing and you are the only contender for the job. Let it be known that he entered Room 302 as a private among 3 corporals and landed (figuratively speaking, of course) on the first stoop as the only ranker of the group. It is not easy to know George, for his personality (added by a C.E. ' s logic) is very illusive. It is, however, not impossible to know when he is around. He enters like the Gestapo, kicking the door and tramping in the martial train of Ba-Ba-Ba-Boom. While you study he sleeps and snores. While you try to sleep, he is studying, brushing his teeth, shining his shoes or threatening to pancake you. What else can you say about a 200 pound canary. At the same time there is no Finer Friend, no better Brother Rat than George H. Robbins. He is great to have around.

This year, needing to branch out to offset the enemies found while acting as first stoop collector, he became a stock magnate and a who. His years on the baseball field finally made him a team captain and a very busy guy as the Rats looking for math help can attest.

He realized he had stepped into a world that would be hard to master, and it took him some time to learn to live with it. When his first class year finally came, Bruce found the tables turned and realized the worth of his previous hard- ships. He did his best to see the new blood didn ' t miss any of the oppression he had enjoyed. He put forth the Uncle Mel image with such finesse that even Mel himself would be proud. Bruce ' s experiences as a lover are something else that cannot go unmentioned. He set somewhat of a record for losing a good thing. His frequent encounters with flack all too often led to a spinning nose dive to the ground.

Little Steve came to VMI with a John Wayne attitude toward the Army, but the VMI system soon shocked him into reality. His only recourse was to take to the sky — and law school.

His second class year brought Sandie away from Big Julie and to the perfect Ring Figure — and Steve to Sweet Briar for many weekends thereafter.

Undaunted by these many setbacks, Shrive returned his Third Class year with his true love, a cheer- leader from dhevy Chase, on the top of his list. The Corps trip, better known as the lost weekend became the vehi- cle by which Wrongway Schriver lost his blond by making an hour marathon circumnavigation of the Richmond to D.C. area. Despite another setback in the loss of the mod Greek after Ring Figure, Schriver found happiness and glory. His grades rose and Granny scored a goal thus securing a spot for himself in the annals of Lacrosse history. His mother cried, his father passed out cigars, and the crowd roared; Schriver had made good. The Hippie and PMC were all question marks at the be- ginning of Schrive ' s First Class year.

Perhaps he felt that VMI provided many « ' .One I that hi as he travels his road of life. Keith will leave VMI a loyal supporter for all it stands for.

Other than academic achievements and fame on the golf team, he has man- aged to excel in letter writing. Some come to VMI with as- pirations to be real military studs. Mike, however, came with the idea of gaining an education and making friends. Perhaps one of his great achievements has been that he and Doris have made it through four years of VMI ' s good deals.

Joan was very understanding about this, even when she realized that Bob was infatuated with Johnnies Helen because he had lost a chugging contest with her. Joan took this in stride tand tried to prove herself by chugging grain — it was rough.

But not too good for the environment and challenges that VMI had to offer. As a Fourth Classman Joe struggled through the delirium of the Rat Line as did everyone in the Class of 7 I . When Joe returned after a summer in the civilian world, stripes were to be found on his uniform and each successive year the number increased until he be- came the hatchetman who almost forgot that Third Battal- ion. Midway through his Third Class year, a blinding light appeared before him and he became a Marine, a trait which has and will dominate a great portion of his life. Between classes and various duties, which he always tried to keep to a minimum. Joe has always found plenty of time to enjoy life and have the good times he so rightly deserves. No matter what walk of life Joe chooses, we are all sure he will make the best of what he does and can cert- ify to the enjoyment he will get out of life. With a new Vette (each year] and a bottle of Rebel Yell. Joe will manage to make the best of an otherwise dull civilian world. Our only wish for Joe is that he makes no more 0145 Retreat Calls.

When BJ came to VMI four years ago, he was the ep- ithet of the innocent, idealistic youth. Now, at graduation, he has been altered a great deal, hopefully with just the correct proportion of idealism and realism. As experience further changes the outlook of this striving Afficionado of life, we can only expect a diminishing of his idealistic tendencies; some, perhaps, but certainly not all. During his cadetship Bag strove for high achievement in many things; to his demise, he found that accomplishment can many times be perverted and worthless. Uncertain of the future, he hopes now to counteract the worst aspects of the past four years at The Tombs by living life to the hilt: idealistically, passionately, and — the magic flaw — materialistically.

Yorg always was a man with simple tastes: Carol, top grades, dental school, and a few truck loads of money, all of which he already has now or will undoubtedly acquire before long. His has been a unique career: he is quite pos- sibly the only Puritan on earth who gets Jewish apple cakes from his Catholic Fiancee ' s mother. He nearly drives his roommates to distraction by crying about his horrible grades, and then ends up wearing academic stars. He wants a lot out of life, but he works like a madman and one cannot imagine him ever walking over anyone to get what he wants. He cares very deeply about people and things when it is more fashionable to be blase and apathetic. He knows where he is going and how to get there.

After h,s rat year, John gave up football and concentrated his efforts on academics. John ' s second class year was not much different from the rest as far as mischief goes.

H Will 1 From the time a cadet enters the Virginia Military In- stitute, he begins to set his goals. Although these may be varied and diversified there are three that are com- mon to everyone. The first is to endure the Rat Line, a challenge that tests the physical and mental strength of each individual that chooses to stay. This year we, as a class, realized our second goal the receiving of our class rings. This event gave no memories that will be equalled by few events in our years at VMI, yet the class of ' 72 awaits the most important goal, our own graduation, when some of our personal ambitions will be finalized. We look back on the attainment of our past goals with a tremendous amount of pride and towards our future with confident expectation. The pride that our class feels is difficult to explain to those who are not members of it. There is a fraternal brotherhood, not al- ways expressed as Brother Rat, that is felt in the members of our class which comes from a mature atti- tude of consideration for others. It has made our class one of sincere concern and quietness rather than one of loud boasts and brash actions. James H. Barnes President r Vernon L. Bietzel Historian x i We have endured certain aspects of the VMI system which other classes have strongly opposed, not be- cause of an apathetic attitude or a desire to appease the administration, but rather out of a mature place- ment of values and a realization of the important goals which we have set for ourselves. Unfortunately, many of our friends and classmates have left the VMI for reasons of their own. They have departed from the Institute, but they have not left our class. They are a part of the closeness which is felt in our class. We have become unified because we have allowed each other to be different in an atmosphere conducive to an intermingling of ideas. We have learned from one another and attempted to help one another as Brother Rats and as friends. Our most important year is yet to come. The Class of 1 972 will continue its unity, maintaining the goals of change, honor, and tradition which we have set for ourselves. Jackson M. Ahlsted Miami, Fla. Bradford W. Allen ngham. N.J.

In its ceaseless quest for an understanding of man ' s identity, the class of 1 973 rushes onward into its third year at the Institute. The changes were few our third class year, but the spirit was high. Many of our Brother Rats left for another world of scholastic endeavor, but they will always remain a part of our class. The loss of such true friends was felt greatly, but we must push on. Now, the smallest class in barracks, our goal of Ring Figure still draws near with anticipated accomplishment. The organizing, designing, and choosing of our rings was all an important part of our year. The first Ratline, besides our own was also an experience we will always remember. The hopes, however, of graduating in May of 1 973 still remained our major goal at the Institute. The Honor, Integrity, and Friendship we gained, from our first two years, will never be lost. The togetherness that the system taught us, continues to be the backbone of our class and its success at V.M.I. Whan we return in the latter part of next summer, we will yet be another step closer to our goal. We will continue to reach out for knowledge, for friend- ship, and for more; never settling for ' what is; ' but striving for ' what can be. ' With eager minds and new ideas, we will walk into the future, to do our part, to keep the future our own. Bill Stevens Historian James A. Aclcley Lynchburg. Va. Maurice B.

The lives of its members underwent an abrupt change which they soon had to rationalize and contend with. They had made a choice their peers could not understand. They were looked down on by upper classmen because they were Rats and by outsiders because they were mili- tary. Under adverse conditions, the class came to realize that the world they will go into is as harsh as the life they live now. The change from an irrational boy to a mature man had to come in time. With this time came nebulous insight into the goals of the Institute for the class, and its members began to set their goals for the years to come. Leon B. Abernathy Alexandria, Va. Vincent A.

William J. Donsbach Tactical Officers Capt. Bruce E. Herczogh ?w ACTIVITIE9 p EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE GENERAL COMMITTEE Each member of the Corps undergoes VMI ' s lesson of honor, loyalty, attention to duty, responsibility, integrity, self-discipline, and academic endeavor. Second to this challenge of vital importance to the Corps is the adher- ence by all its members to a code of gentlemanly conduct and high standards of personal appearance. The Executive Committee is authorized by the Superin- tendent in its purpose to assure the Corps of Cadets that actions of an individual which fall below the standards and traditions of V.M.I., and which bring discredit upon the Corps, shall be answered. The responsibility of up- holding and protecting the name and heritage of V.M.I, falls on the shoulders of each and every cadet in the Corps. As they accept this responsibility, the Executive Committee becomes a functional and viable organ for all cadets. Jan Essenburg Vern Beitzel President Don Caldwell Bobby Lockridge Joe Duffy Al Davis Bill Stephens Jim Barnes Steve Sanetti Phil Smith Dick Clampitt Steve Foglemc The Student Government, or whatever one calls it at other schools, is usually composed of politically oriented students who actively campaign for the job of repre- senting their classmates. They act as the so-called mid- dlemen who attempt to breach the notorious genera- tion gap between the administration and the students. At V.M.I., the General Committee maintains the discipline and organization of the student body, while seeking to improve the over-all condition of the Corps. The General Committee, that is, the officers of the upper three classes, the R.D.C. Chairman, and two mem- bers-at-large from the First Class, establish the regulations pertaining to the class system that the Corps itself enforces. No one other than the cadets enforce the Gen- eral Committee. Through a jury composed of members of the upper three classes, the General Committee maintains a system of class privileges which play a significant part in cadet life, and helps nurture a sense of duty, responsibility and restraint. The General Committee, more importantly, is repre- sentative of the Corps in all official matters. As such, the General Committee, and the First Class officers in particu- lar, must be aware of, and energetically involved in, the problems and burdens of each cadet. HONOR COURT The VMI man is known for his deep abiding sense of honor. The Honor Court exists to preserve this sense of honor. It is composed of fifteen members, each of whom is elected by their fellow cadets. To be elected to this re- spected body is a distinct privilege which carries with it the responsibility of determining another cadet ' s right to remain at the Institute. The burden of the decision rests heavily upon each member. The Honor Code is a set of principles which governs the life of each cadet. It is not found in the set of written rules, for it is each cadet ' s responsibility to evaluate his own conscience. The Code seeks to instill a sense of pride in one ' s integrity and worth as an individual. If it accom- plishes this, it has achieved its avowed purpose.

THE OUTRAGE .70 Nostalgia is a disease which afflicts those with lots of past and little future. Since we hope to enjoy something more of the future, we must not dwell too much on the past. This year the Institute published a book entitled VMI for the Times. Lasting only four years, our time at VMI has consumed but a fraction of our past, and we will remem- ber it chiefly as a transitory stage through which we hope to pass on to our own futures. Because of this we are pleased to present VMI for the Time Being. Order of Call for 1970 Draft ■ffin $£jj „ By Last Name WHY? A military uniform is not a prison for the mind. Howev- er, it is a prison for the body, and unless we have been misinformed, where goes the body, there also goes the mind. What matters is freedom to inquire, to explore — above all, to learn. And to ask why. And we feel confi- dent that in the future this will be our prerogative — just as soon as we fulfill our active duty tours and become ci- vilians again. We are concerned, the 1970 valedictorian said in addressing himself to the issues of the day. So cadets are. And well they should be concerned, with Janis gone, and Spiro still at large. In the classrooms and in their daily ac- tivities cadets in uniform show they share the frustrations and uncertainties of young people everywhere as well as a goodly parcel of extra frustrations and uncertainties which only cadets and other masochists would put up with. THE CADETS The close-knit structure of the Cadet Corps — all ca- dets exist in the same barracks (which, as one of its many ardent admirers said of it, looks like a prison, sounds like a zoo, smells like a stable, and affords the privacy of a fishbowl ), marginally sustain themselves at the same multiple feeding trough, and are supposedly organized on a regimental and class basis — lends itself to a wide participation in student government (chiefly after Taps on the fifth stoop) and extracurricular activities, which they will enjoy, or else. Through such organizations as the widely-renowned Posit Committee, cadets exercise a considerable degree of direct control over their own affairs — namely, they can cooperate and graduate, they can refuse to cooper- ate and walk penalty tours, or they can resign. In fact, there is hardly an area of VMI Life in which cadets do not have a voice — a voice never listened to, of course, but a voice nonetheless. Like men in uniform everywhere in the world, cadets like to complain about their lot. Not one, these days, complains of being bored. So far, no one has given them enough spare time to be bored. THE INSTITUTE One common misconception of the purpose of a mili- tary college is that it exists primarily for the training of of- ficers for the armed forces. For some reason, this miscon- ception seems to be particularly in evidence among ca- dets who have been placed on report for taking late study and those who erroneously believe that the five to ten minutes spent each period in forming up for and marching to classes could be better spent in the classroom itself. The citizen-soldier concept was the intention of the founders of VMI, and that is the case today — there is probably no one in the service who longs for civilian life more than VMI cadets commissioned for two year tours in the Army. The occupational spectrum of the approximately 12,000 VMI alumni now alive is as wide as will be found among those of any other college. VMI alumni include artists, industrialists, motion picture producers, engineers, college professors and presidents, newspaper editors, museum directors, physicists — as well as several taxi drivers and at least one town drunk. ATHLETICS Scholarships to VMI are awarded to deserving ath- letes, but the high admissions standards — which scholar- ship athletes must meet — have made recruiting an in- creasingly difficult part of the VMI coaches ' tasks. The fact that everything at VMI is run on the famous nega- tive incentive basis explains the attrition rate of out- standing athletes who recognize how much better off they would be playing for a civilian school. Ergo the fact that rat teams almost always post a better record than their corresponding varsity teams. The decade of the 1960 ' s saw VMI ' s athletic program grow to include lacrosse, soccer, and rugby while main- taining the preposterous national reputation of being the smallest college quixotic enough to play major college schedules. VMI offers the same complete athletic program as the big universities; nothing except winning is sacri- ficed along the way. rirfS • . 1 6  « . BUILDING IN THE SIXTIES In 1 848 a member of the VMI Board of Visitors wrote: Would it not be well to form an adequate and tasteful design for the future extension of the buildings until in the end an harmonious whole shall be procured — beautiful and inspiring in style as well as commodious and well adapted to the purposes in view . . . For the Institute, the decade just ended was a period of new construction unparalleled in its history. Because of the assumption that two wrongs do make a right, the new structures have been faithful to the early board member ' s admonition. In 1966 the National Park Service, with its infinite ca- pacity for a good joke, in recognition of the (God knows) unique VMI architecture, declared the Barracks a Nation- al Historic Landmark. 1 .

Write ANDRE STUDIO, Lexington, Virginia, 24450. HHI Mm I B It is difficult to describe the feelings I hove had in respect to editing the 1 971 BOMB. In the last few years, college annuals have undergone a great deal of change; in style, format, and, of course, in what editors now feel is relevant to include in a book of this type. Although V.M.I, is isolated from many of the problems other campuses are ex- periencing, and this naturally influences the events that receive coverage, we have also noticed that there are many common areas of trouble which we have with these same schools. Many colleges have been forced to stop production of yearbooks, because of ex- cessive school censorship in an area that is published for students, by students. By the same token, however, many books are no longer published simply because of lack of support by both advertising and subscriptions. I do not feel though, that college annu- als will soon become a thing of the past, because students will always cherish the memories of college experiences whether they are good or bad. To dwell on the 1971 BOMB for a moment, though, ' ! can only say that, like all col lege experiences, it will have both good and bad memories. I have attempted to pro duce a book that is on par with any other college annual regardless of size or ex pense. It is difficult to create an annual which can do this and still maintain the tradi tion that V.M.I, requires. In my attempts to inject humour into situations which other wise would be drab and lifeless, I have lost some who were, at one time, close friends On the other hand, this job has put me into a position where I have met other people I might never have known, and I have no regrets. It would be impossible to close this epilogue without mentioning a few of the people whose efforts have contributed so immeasurably to the production of the 1971 BOMB. There is, of course, Meredith Barkley, who spent many a nighttime with me either screaming in his ear or sitting in a hotel room somewhere wondering if we would make our deadline, but who always came through with the material. Dave Coulter and his entire business staff, who worried right along with me as to whether we would break even financially, but worked themselves to death to make sure that we did. Rae Turner and his photographers, who always managed to come up with the right print when it already seemed too late. And finally, the editorial staff, who put this whole mess to- gether; most notably — Ed Artiglia, who began working just this year and became the first activities editor; Jeff Peters, who, for what should be obvious reasons, will have to remain an unsung hero; Kurt Renz; Jack Hornberger; Malon Updike; Jim Davidson; and Jim Pavlou. Jim Adams Editor-in-Chief TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY c7 - a Monday May 17, 1971 THE TIMES-HERALD, Newport News, Virginia Valedictorian Raps, Salutes VMI System (UPD— Graduating cadets at Virginia Military Institute gave valedictorian Philip Dean Allum a standing ova- tion Sunday after he alter- nately criticized the military school and saluted it for its uniqueness. Allum, for Indinapolis, Ind., told nearly 1,000 persons attending commencement ex- ercises that the school at- tempts to force an absolute set of values on all men who come to VMI and sub- sequently alienates cadets to the point where they reject worthwhile values. About 85 per cent of the cadets undergo a bitter, frustrating experience be- cause o f flaws in the VMI academic system, said Allum, who suggested the relaxation of some regulations by the armed forces should motivate the institute to give students more freedoms which cause greater responsibility and moral courage. As long as VMI continues to treat young men like chil- dren, they will continue to act like children, he said.
