Wentworth Military Academy and Junior College

1985-1986 Pass-in-Review Volume XIII

Successes, efforts and friends 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 will never forget

Along with the good times (and the bad) were chances for you to realize your potential as a student, a leader, an athlete, a musician or whatever you wanted to be. Good grades, bad grades, deportment, demerits, Wentworth Honor Society, varsity letters and end-of-the-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 remem­ber your friends and accomplishments during the 1985-1986 school year.

1985-1986 year in review

The 106th year of operation for Wentworth went as usual. The year started off with an invigorating session with Jim Sellers and the officer corps. Fall and Spring Parents* Weekends gave cadets a chance to see parents and girlfriends. The 50th 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 WMA community.

New ROTC procedures were followed this year. The high school was split into a separate company with its own leadership that met for drill and other JROTC functions. And only the high school was inspected when AFI rolled around in the spring, right after Military Ball.

It was not a bad year at all.

"We've made loads and loads of friends and aquaintances, and kept up with them. Now we*re seeing their sons and grandsons." So says Mrs. Josie Giblin, one of the original founders of the WMA Snack Bar (see picture, opposite page). Her 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 Tve seen the enrollment as high as 600 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 weekends and during busy periods.

The Giblins represent the kind of dedication that is inherent at Wentworth -dedication to cadets, the institution and to its ideals and everything 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 civics classes. Another new coach was Capt. Bill Kirkman, sometimes known as "WMA's Mr. Clean." He took a young and inexperienced wrestling team and started a good base for future experience. He also took a high school sophomore to state. He teaches history classes. And Lt. Col. Albin Zukowski (ret. USA) brought his teaching experience from West Point, as well as a great deal of military experience.

HS Football by John Harrison

The football team had a highly successful season this year, posting a record of 6 - 3, the academy's best in twenty years. WMA started the season out slowly, losing the first two games but rebounded to win six in a row before losing the final to Polo. Just as last year, Polo was WMA's final loss, thwarting a bid for the state playoffs for the second time in as many years. Besides being eliminated from the Central River Conference Champion­ship, finishing in a third-place tie with Norborne, and a conference record of 4-2.

Statistically WMA was led by senior co-captains Kelly Clark and Bill Sellers. Sellers had his second straight 1000-yard season, setting a WMA record of 1183 yards rushing in a single season. Clark was the defensive catalyst throughout, sparking WMA to its first victory ever over Hardin Cental, with two interceptions. Clark was also the team's leader in scoring with 54 points and its second leading rusher.

WMA players making all-conference were Clark, Sellers, Kyle Kemp and Brian Sipes. Sellers and Clark also made the all-district team.

The junior college soccer team began to improve late in the season, ending its year at 2-4 with the last two matches being victories.

*'We had a good team," said Coach Francis Johnson. "The season was probably one of the best they've had in the last two or three years.

"We had some good leaders on the field. Both Don Delllinger and Searsoc Napatalung, our team captains, did a very good job."

Most players started out playing as individuals but became team players as the season progressed. It was Capt. Johnson's first season for soccer.

Following what its coach calls a "back and forth'* season, the high school soccer team ended its regular season with a 5-8 win-loss record.

Capt. James Ahrens called the team the best he's seen at Wentworth in the last four years. "Al-Arfaj is probably the star. He has scored most of the goals in the season. He is a superb player and has excellent skill with his foot. He can put the ball most anywhere he wants it." Capt. Ahrens also named Al-Jarboa, Araya, Zuwadski and Grau as team leaders. All are graduates this year.

"A lot of the team's problems were caused by inconsistancy. If we could have played together for more than one season, we would have had a more consistant response."

He said that Eric Armstrong is an up-and-coming player, and Pedrig Dragich would have been if he would not have left school. "Dragich is an outstanding player. He plays halfback and can also play the forward position. In the fullback line, Eric, who is a freshman, has a knack for being in the right place at the right time."

He also mentioned Chris Mozena and Mark Gilbert as players with good future potential for the soccer team.

The junior high football team ended its season with a 3-1-1 record and a trip to the championships.

The junior Dragons started their season out with a close win over Santa Fc, 8-6. In its second away game of the season, the team beat Braymer with a much wider margin, 36-6.

The Dragon's first home game was with Hardin, and ended as another close game, with a score of 24-22, Wentworth being on top.

They started out their fourth game of the season ahead of Orrick, but the opposing team came back in the end, leading to a 14-14 tie.

With no losses behind them, the junior high football team went to the Central River Conference championships, and lost a hard game to Norborne. The 28-12 loss put them as second place in the conference.

Coach Bill Kirkman said the team had come a long way, although there were a number of problems. "They came together as a team in the last seven weeks of the season." He said the team holds a lot of future potential for WMA, naming David Dorris, quarterback, and tailback Clarence Williams as leaders of the 1985-1986 season.

The junior high basketball team ended its season by playing in the Lexington Eighth Grade tournament and Ninth Grade Tourney. The team garnered fourth place in both.

The A Team*s season record was one and four, and the B Team's four and one. Eighth and Ninth graders lost two games in their respective tournaments.

The eighth grade was plagued by a lack of experience and a team leader, and two days before the start of the tourneys the team received four new players, giving it an even bigger setback.

"We did not have enough time to work with them before the tournament,'* said Coach John Edwards.

The eighth grade, subsequently lost both of their games by wide margins.

Junior College Basketball by John Ward Harrison III

The junior college basketball team finished its season with a record of 2-21. Despite winning only two games Coach Tom Hughes felt the season was not a total loss.

*'As far as our total record, the season was a disappointment. It was not a disappointment in that a lot of players were playing for the first time and they learned a great deal."

Alan Owens led the team in scoring assists & second in rebounds. He also displayed outstanding defensive ability throughout the season.

Next year's team will have to be rebuilt nearly from scratch, due to the loss of four of this year's starters.

Capt. Hughes said his team's potential lies all on summer recruiting efforts. At the beginning of June four JC basketball recruits were on the roster for next year's team.

"This year was interesting due to the makeup of the team. Though we lost a lot of games, the kids got

along well together, worked hard and never quit hustling. I was pleased with our play even though it was somewhat one-sided."

Though this season proved to be lost early in the year when the team struggled the players never gave up hope and should be commended, especially starters Harless, Alley, Chamberlain and Owens.

By John Ward Harrison III The young wrestling team of new Head Coach Bill

Kirkman managed only two victories this season, defeating St. Mary*s and Lathrop.

However sophomore John Mcquigg, wrestling as heavy­weight in his first year of competition, qualified for the state tournament. "It's rare that a sophomore does that well and for a first-year wrestler it's amazing," said Capt. Kirkman.

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.

McQuigg was not the only underclassman. In fact, the team was composed of freshmen and sophomores, 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. The young team will have a year's experience under their belts and will be ready for varsity battles. *'. . . as of late I've started to see some good things out of the kids," said Capt. Kirkman late in the season.

Junior High Kid Wrestling by John Ward Harrison III

In a year marked by change in the Wrestling department, there was a new addi­tion - Kid Wrestling for the junior high cadets.

Capt. Kirkman was advisor and coach for the new program in which cadets registered and wrestled through the Lexington Kid Wrestling program. The 24 enthusiastic junior highers were able to wrestle against those their own age and gain valuable experience. Hopefully the program will help the foundation of WMA's varsity program.

Epperson works out with varsity wrestler Rick Magazine. 53

Swimming While the swim team ended its season with a 4-7 record,

Coach David Johnsen says there were some very good individual performances and he saw some improvements.

Two of those with high season records were Rog Jaswah and Todd Dougherty. Jaswait set school records in the 100-yard breast stroke and 200 individual medley. Dougherty set a record in the 500-yard freestyle.

The team's main problem was a lack of depth. With only four or five strong swimmers leading the team, there was not enough support in the team events. Capt. Johnsen said several of the swimmers were just starting out for a first season.

He is looking for a better team next year, though. The number of returnees and the amount of improvement in individuals should be a boon.

Coach Jim Ahrens, Head Coach Tom Hughes, Payton, McKiilip, Chccvers, Johnson, Grimes, McQuigg, Kambers, Johansson, Shea, Goodyear.

As the high school track season drew to a close, Coach Tom Hughes looked back on a successful season, and forward to an even more successful one to come. "The majority were underclassmen. If they want to work next year, they have the potential to do very well."

John Johannson and James Mason both missed qualifying for state by miniscule amounts and both made career records in trying. After qualifying for sectionals Johansson jumped 4 r 8 " in the triple-jump and held a qualifying position throughout the meet until the final jumper beat him out. His sectional-qualifying jump was a personal record.

Mason finished seventh in both of his events, with a time of 11.3 in the 100-meter dash and a personal record time of 23.1 in

i the 200 at sectionals. The only graduates on the team were Bill Sellers and Robert

Gwinn, who both ended the season well, and Scott Goodyear who was injured near the beginning of the season.

56

JH Track The junior high track team had a good season, taking

second place in all three of the meets. The first was a quadrangular in Braymer. It went right

down to the wire as the last jump of the last event of the day put Wentworth^s junior Dragons in a close second.

At the Norborne quad the JH team took second as they did at the conference meet.

Coach Tom Hughes called Chris Kirton one of his most outstanding distance runners. Jeff Irwin excelled the most in the 400-meter run, long and high jumps, and Andre Wilson was probably best at sprints and the pole vault.

Capt. Hughes says he expects all of his athletes back next year to help the high school track team.

While the high school tennis team's overall season record didn't beat last year's, it was really a better year. The doubles team of Eric Pfeffle and Bob Sellers went to state and the team ended up as district 3A champions.

Pfeffle was the individual team leader with an overall pre-state season record of 8-2 (win-loss). Sellers' record was at 5-6 with a doubles pre-state record of 20-9. Other leaders included Keith Abert, team captain, at 12-9, Mauricio Marroquin was 12-10 and Jorge Araya and Vincintte Solis were 10-14.

Coach Mike Wood said that Abert, a returning junior, provided a good part of the team leadership along with Sellers. He named Pfeffle as the team's best player, a distinction for which he was honored at the end-of-the-year awards ceremony.

Capt. Wood was not sure what to expect from next year's team. "It all depends on who comes back. We do have Bob and Keith for sure, and they will be a great help, of course."

"It's like any other type of athletics - we don't just jump right into it without some body conditioning," says assistant Karate coach Chris Butler. And like the 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 Kansas City, and Fred Schipke and Joseph Dorris were the cadet 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 basic moves. A large majority of the cadets involved have no experience and are classified as white belts.

Following the basics, the athletes then go into various, more advanced tech­niques. But the basics must be second nature before there is any advancement, according to Mrs. Butler.

My job as company commander 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 realized the 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 responsible for everything Alpha does or fails to do, though.

It's like this, sports fans. 1 am like 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 up the players, dusted them off and called another play.

I was very proud to be Alpha's company commander and I was impressed by the high level of motivation, esprit de corp and discipline that Alpha possessed.

As for now, I won't be calling the plays anymore and Alpha, in the form we knew it, won't be running with the ball. We reached our objective - our touchdown. Alpha Company is number one! C/Capt. Joseph D. Wawro, AR Alpha Company Commander

Charlie

Charlie Company: a rat's point of view 1 remember all the guys who were homesick the first few

weeks, and how Capt. Harless was there on the spot with that high speed airborne advice that really helped.

Some of us will remember how we checked the pop machine, sometimes from the second or even third floor.

Certain guys might have gone around saying, **BS, Tiege" - like Scott himself.

Above all, some of us know that we finally grew up. There just isn't enough space in a million yearbooks to tell

the story about the life and times of Charlie Company. But then, when you're the best, you know it all, Charlie Rocks!

Delta

Dear Delta: Remember: - The death of Mr. Pumpkin? - Kuta, the BO who wasn't? • Recreational demolitions and strange 3rd CQ

explosions? - When "Delta Force*' helped Lt. Mainord move his car? - My unsuccessful Tarzan flight? - Our 3rd CQ visit from Lt. Col. Morris and his staff? - When our company CO won the Ugly Man contest?

It took nine different officers, but Delta Company was able to work its way through another year. We may not have had the cleanest rooms or the least number of demerits, but we were always able to pull together and be serious when the time came. 1 want to thank all the members of Delta company for making this such a great year. DELTA OVER ALL! c/2nd Lt. Ed Peterson

Memo TO: Delta Company From: C/Capt. Shields RE: 85-86 School Year

As I packed my last piece of luggage into the "Radillac'*, I stopped for a brief moment to recall some of the memories of what proved to be my most challenging year at Wentworth.

Does anybody remember the original company staff? Maybe these short messages will bring back memories:

"How many people were actually involved with the super glue scandal?'*

"How many girlfriends did Mainord actually have?" "Who masterminded the exploding ashtrays?" "Did anybody really ever read the bulletin board?" "Will Kuta and Whitley ever be thin?" "Will Emery and Young ever be fat?" Well, to write down memories is quite useless. Everybody

has their own, and they're all too numerous to write in the yearbook.

I would like to close by saying "thank you" for providing me with an ulcer (ha, just kidding). On a serious note, I want to wish all of you the best of luck and I hope life is good to you. Live life to its fullest and make something special of yourselves. Also, try to keep track of your toilet paper. Bye bye, Sincerely, RAD'ny "Long live Beach Party Delta" PS. Good luck next year "NURD"!!

Homecoming

Homecoming queen Peri Reid.

A new feature was added to this year's Homecoming activities in the WMA Athletic Hall of Fame, and cadets enjoyed the same traditional fun aspects of Homecoming as well. Four old boys were recognized in the first year of the hall of fame: Cmdr. Ed Ellis, Benjamin Hoge, Harry Ice and Joe Busby.

This year's queen was chosen from several candidates whose pictures and resumes were submitted by cadets. WMA's faculty voted this year. The two princesses were Amy Bosshard, sister of Cadet John Bosshard, and Teresa Tomanek, submitted by John Maggard. 17-year-old Peri Michelle Reid, entered by Brian Sipes, was the Homecom­ing queen.

The queen and princesses were honored throughout the weekend in the parade, at the football game and during Sunday parade.

The Wentworth Red Dragons football team defeated the Hardin-Central Bulldogs 28-16. This brought WMA's record to 3-2.

Commencement exercises were held the weekend of May 16-18, and culminated in the graduation of 24 junior college sophomores and 33 high school seniors.

The weekend was marked by several award ceremo­nies (see award pages starting on page 100) recognizing cadets for their accomplishments throughout the year. Fifteen college cadets received their commissions into the United States Army. And long-time faculty member Maj. Keith Maring had the college Math award re-named in his honor.

The commencement speaker was Gen. Bernard Schriever, considered the father of modern missile development, and the grandfather of cadet Mike Schriev­er.

Nearly 1500 parents, relatives and friends attended the weekend ceremonies.
