Successes, efforts and friends Loolu Ilk TKad got what h« wantad la Chrtitmai - 2 Wentworth is a place where you make fast friends, friends that last Some will be back next year, some you will see often In the next few years and some you may never see again But there are experiences you share as friends which you u-ill never forget Along with the good times (and the bad) were chances for you to reali2e your potential as a student, a leader, an aihl«te. a musician or whatever you wanted to be. Good grades, bad grades, deportment, demerits. Wentworth Honor Society, varsity letters and endof-thc-year awards - all were tools to measure your degrees of success over the year From the beginning of the registration line to the end of the commencement formation, our best hopes that this year was a good one for you And best hopes that this yearbook helps you remem- ber your friends and accomplishments during the 1 985- 1986 school year. HonMctMUlng Prmettt Amy BoMh«rd with K«lly CUtk 1985-1986 year to review The 106th year of operation for Wentworth went as usual. The year started off wtti) an Invigorating tastlon wift Jim Sellers and the officer corps Fall and Spring Parents ' Weekends gave cadets a chance to •ee parents and girifriendi. The SOtfa Annual Military Ball was a great success. The football team had its best season in several years. And Halley ' s Comet came and went with no fanfare by the Wh4A community. New ROTC procedures were followed this year. The high school was q; lit into a separate company with Its own leadership that met for drill and other JROTC functions. And only the high school was inspected when API roOed around In the spring, rl «ftar Military Ball. It WMU not a bad year at aO. 1 (kfO and CoMy udth poios.

H«r husband Bill set up business 50 years ago in 1936, at a point directly across from the current location of the Snack Bar. There were only 115 boys here when I started, and I ' ve seen the enrollment as high as 6Q0. during the war, comments Bill. Now Bill ' s brother George and his wife Linda serve the cadets from the Snack Bar, although the two originals help out on waakends and durtmg busy psriods. Th« GMlM r Mwaant the kind of dedtcatkm that Is inharant at Wentworth • dedication to cadets, the instttuUon and Its ideals and evcrydling it stands for. 1985-86 saw the addition of four new faculty members. Capt. James Carmichael cAme to teach police and law enforcement classes Capt Thomas Hughes led the junior college basketball team, as well as teaching ehrtcs dassas. Another naw coach was Capt. Bill Kirkman, sometimes known as WMA ' s Mr. Qean. He took a young and tnexparlanced wrastUng team and started a good base for future experience. He also took a high school sophocrrare to state. He taachas history classes. And Lt. Col. Albin Zukowskl (ret. USA) broughtllte teaching experience from West Point, as well as a great deal of military experience.

However sophomore John Mcquigg, wrestling as heavy- weight in his first year of competition, qualified for the state tournament.

McQuigg had an 18-9 record for the season placing third in the district and winning his match against the Gallatin heavyweight In the sectional He was defeated by the junior HW from East Newton In the first round of the state tourney at Columbia. McQ-.ilgg was not the only underclassman. In (M, the team was composed of freshmen and sophomOTes, and took a big loss of seven varsity wrestlers at semester. Among those was senior Kelly Clark, team leader and a good bet for another state qualifier. He moved on to the junior college at semester. Mark Gilbert and Gash Caudill were the only varsity wrestlers with any past experience. Next year ' s team has the potential to be a good one, according to Capt. Kirkman.

It ' s like any other typ of athletics • we don ' t just jump right into it without •ome body conditioning, says assistant Karate coach Chrts Butl«r And llk« th« other sports, WMA cadets could earn varsity letter credit In Karate throughout the year, the class had an enrollment of 20 to 30 cadets. The head instructor is Won Suk Kim. a master instructor from Kuttas City, and Fred Schipke and Joseph4 )RlK«imJl«.(6ldlA assistant coaches. Karate is offered yearly at WMA and a year ' s participation is worth a varsity letter to cadets. They start out with basics such as stances, punches and the baste moves. A large majority oi the cadets involved have no experience and are classified .is i ' ]r-, Following the basics, the athletes tlit. ' ii go Into various, more advanced tech niques. But the basics must be second nature before there is any advancement, according to Mn. ftllkrv Thl Dorrto broliuits ipai. Staff Alpha My job as eom| any ccmnmander Is to give guidance and direction to the men under my command. Throughout this year, my company staff and I set specific goals for the company to reach. We realised ihe high degree of potential that Alpha has, but the key to It all is to make things happen. My satisfaction came from my ability to inspire Alpha to do Its best by my example. After all, it ' s the cadets in the company that make the company what It Is I am xaspoMlble toj everything Alpha does or falls to do, though. It ' s like this, sports fans. 1 am tike the coach; the company is the team. I call the plays and tell Alpha to take the ball and run as long and as far as it can. When Alpha was tackled or blocked, I picked the pkyrm, dusted titMA olf caUad another play. I was very proud to be Alpha ' s company Commander and I was impressed by the high level of nH!jMijttQ(V fiA . nd diadpline that Alpha possessed.
