HIGH SCHOOL MB JUmOD COLLEGE

WENTWOHTH'S PURPOSE

( " -,

It is the purpose of Wentworth Military Academy to provide the best conditions possible

for the all 'round development of worthy boys and young men.

To attain this high purpose, the Academy places greatest emphasis upon these four points:

First, it is the Academy's aim to assemble only the highest types of students—deserving

youths of good parentage—to assure wholesome associations and greater progress. Every pre­

caution is taken to keep undesirable boys—all those that might prove detrimental to others—

out of the Academy.

Second, to employ only men of highest character and ability for its faculty. It is not enough

for a Wentworth faculty member to be merely a scholar and a splendid instructor. He must

also possess a spirit of friendliness and a sincere desire to give kindly help whenever necessary.

He must thoroughly understand the innermost problems of boys—be patient with them—and

be ready to serve each boy to the best of his ability. ..

Third, to provide the very best equipment throughout every department to the end that

every boy will have all those things necessary to his health and happiness and that none shall

want for anything that will help him to make progress.

, Fourth, to provide a program for each day that will best serve the interests of every student.

* Colonel James M. Sellers, A. B.,

• Superintendent.

Wentworth 1912, University of Chicago, A.B. 1917, Phi Beta Kappa

1916; Sigma Xi; Beta Theta Pi; Major U. S. Marine Reserve 1917-

1920; Distinguished Service Cross; Navy Cross; Silver Star; Purple

Heart; Crolx-de-Guerre; Past President of Association of Military

Colleges and Schools of the United States; Past Grand Master of the

Grand Masonic Lodge of Missouri, A. F. & A. M., and Past Grand

Commander of the Grand Commandery of Missouri.

From the beginning the late President Sellers sur­

rounded himself with the ablest faculty available —

strong men of proved qualities and Christian character.

Under his wise and forward-looking direction, Went­

worth has grown steadily. Each year has shown marked

improvement over the preceding year. Today Went­

worth stands as one of the truly great educational

institutions of our country—second to none in the op­

portunities it offers boys and young men for thorough

preparation for professional studies, business and for

life.

SIIVEE E I G H T E E N E I G H T Y One of the chief reasons why Wentworth has been able to achieve

its lofty purpose lies in the fact that the Academy has been under one

continuous administration since its founding. For nearly three-score years,

Colonel Sandford Sellers was president of Wentworth. He enjoyed one

of the most enviable records in the history of American education.

The Academy was founded by Stephen S . Wentworth, scion of a

distinguished English family and a prominent Lexington banker, in 1880,

as a memorial to his deceased son, William Wentworth. Mr. Wentworth

immediately vested control of the institution in the hands of a board of

trustees composed of a duly elected representative of each of the

Evangelical churches of Lexington, and a president. Colonel Sellers was

called to the new school in its first year and remained as its active head

until 1938. Mr. Wentworth served as president of the Board from 1880

until his death in 1897.

It was the firm conviction of the founder, his board of trustees and

President Sellers that a military boarding school provides the most effec­

tive possible means for giving young men the thorough mental, moral

and physical training necessary to develop in them the highest traits of

manhood. Thus, Wentworth became the first military school in the Mis­

souri River Valley.

AlV H I S T D H I C H A C K B H D U N H

Throughout over half a century the Wentworth pur­

pose has remained unchanged. The ideals which led

to the Academy's founding and which have carried

it steadily forward, shine just as brightly today as

ever: the desire to give each youth every oppor­

tunity to develop fully his own individual personality;

the aim that every cadet shall acquire a keen sense of

duty and responsibility, both to himself and toward

others; that he shall have the mental and moral power

to make accurate judgment between right and

wrong and the physical power to stand by his con­

victions.

These high standards have dominated Wentworth

for generations. But to maintain them and assure their

full and continuous application. It has been found

necessary to limit the enrollment. Wentworth today

Is a relatively small school—many times larger than

in 1880, to be sure, yet small enough that every Indi­

vidual student Is given the private attention so essen­

tial to his all-'round development.

The surrounding country affords a wealth of his­

torically important Civil War sites and the town of

Lexington itself retains much of the tradition of the

old south. Here enthusiasm for the reminders of our

country's glorious past is combined with the enthu­

siasm for modern adventure to promote the rapid de­

velopment of the boy's mental, moral and physical

resources.

The modern, prosperous little city of Lexing­ton is 4! miles from Kansas City, "The hieart of America." This proximity makes available by train, motor car, bus and air all the desir­able cultural advantages of a large city without any of its disadvantages. ^ ^ ^ ' T ^ - ^ ^ ; ? ^ - ^ ^ ^

YESTERDAY Above is pictured the first company ever as­

sembled at Wentworth. From this humble begin­

ning, the Academy has marched forward over a

trail of development that has placed it in the

front rank of America's best military schools.

and TDDAY The Wentworth Military Academy of today is vastly different from

the Wentworth of 1880. From year to year It has enlarged Its facilities,

increased Its enrollment and changed Its physical appearance until there

Is little to remind one of the early days. Numerous modern and attractive

buildings have been erected as they were needed. Old buildings have

been torn away when they v/ere no longer useful. Spacious military and

athletic fields have been added. One of the finest gymnasiums in the

country has been built. Every new method In teaching that has been

found definitely superior to older methods has been adopted. Yet,

some of the fundamental principles that guided the first company are

adhered to just as strictly today.

Instructions and demonstrations in all the

Infantry Weapons.

* The indoor rifle range where every cadet learns small arms firing.

M I L I T A R Y D E P A f l T M E l V T MILITARY training at Wentworth has always been a strong

feature, but it is never permitted to interfere with the

scholastic work of the Academy. It can be shown, moreover,

that military discipline has a decidedly advantageous effect upon

classroom work.

In recognition of the superior military work done at Went­

worth, in 1889 the Academy became a post of the Missouri

National Guard. Graduates of the Academy who resided in Mis­

souri, became eligible for commissions in this organization.

Wentworth has been under the direct supervision of the War

Department of the United States Government since 1895, when

the first active army officer was detailed to the Academy. Now

3 officers, 4 non-commissioned officers and one civilian assistant

are in charge of military Instruction. In addition, the War Depart­

ment furnishes around $50,000 worth of equipment to be used

for instruction purposes. Wentworth is one of the original Honor

Schools of the United States, the highest rating given by the War

Department. The Academy has been a unit of the Reserve Of­

ficers' Training Corps from the time that organization was

established.

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Within Wentworth's Administration Building are handsomely fur­

nished parlors, corridors and reception rooms. Among its furnish­

ings and decorations students and guests alike find many articles

of interest and rare beauty. Its comfortable furnishings amid

peaceful surroundings afford a homelike atmosphere where the

new cadet readily adapts himself to a wholesome, happy experience.

Here in an atmosphere of quiet dignity, every student is privileged

to entertain his guests or to spend his leisure moments as governed

by his daily schedule. None of the comforts of the modern home

have been excluded in Wentworth's plan to provide the finest train­

ing and quarters available.

S C H O L A S T I C Wentworth's up-to-date Sellers - Wikoff

Scholastic Building is the nucleus of the scho­lastic department. This magnificent structure contains one of the most splendid libraries possessed by any institution of this kind. Four completely equipped laboratories provide excellent facilities for the practical study of the sciences. In addition to classrooms for all classes, it houses the Dean's and Com­mandant's offices. It is with justifiable pride that Wentworth points to this new achieve­ment in its effort to provide surroundings which are conducive to academic advance­ment.

* The attract ive l ibrary contains thousands of volumes, providing

every necessary supplement to the student's texts and manuals.

* Visual Aids are being used to a great extent to supplement

lectures by instructors. The Academy has the best equipment

available and has established a liberal budget for rental of

motion pictures for class work.

* Sellers-Wikoff Scholastic Building.

Geology is a science of particular interest to boys of the midwest.

DEPARTMEIVT The scholastic department is d iv ided

into two separate and dist inct units:

the high school, which offers four years

o f preparatory work, and the junior

college, which offers two years of lib­

eral arts and science. Each has its own

organization separate f rom the other. Both divisions

are fully accredi ted by the North Central Associa­

tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an organiza­

tion composed of the leading colleges and prepara­

tory schools in twenty states. This recognit ion means

that graduates o f either depar tment are eligible to

enter any institution in the Uni ted States that receives

students by cer t i f icat ion.

It is our aim to see that each cadet masters every

lesson thoroughly. To accomplish this, every student

Is taught correct study methods and thoroughly

schooled in correct uses of libraries and laboratories.

Classes are small, which permits individual a t tent ion.

Most o f the facul ty members live in the buildings with

students. They are readily accessible for special help.

From t ime to t ime a personal study is made of each

cadet to determine his points of weakness and help

him overcome them.

AVIATION FLIGHT TRAINING GROUP

A V I A T I D I V Wentworth participated in the Civil Aeronautics Administration Civilian

Pibt Training Program from its inception in 1939 through the change to C. A. A.

War Training Service until June, 1943, when all but 80 out of 712 colleges

and universities throughout the country were eliminated due to curtailment of

this type of training. However, the academy administration, believing aviation

training to be very important now and in the future to the youth of the nation,

secured permission from C. A. A. officials to continue flight training on a

civilian basis and at the expense of the trainee.

Wentworth operates in conjunction with the Earl Haines Flying Service at the Lexington Airport as a certified flying school fully approved by the C.A.A. The flight training program, including ground school, far surpasses the minimum requirements set forth by the civil aeronautics administration qualifying cadets for Private and Commercial Pilot Certificates. It consists of Instruction in both dual and solo flight time.

The records of the graduates of the Wentworth Flight Training are out­standing. During the war the graduates of this training program fought on every front where Americans were in combat.

A T W E N T W D H T H ^ 1 O TWO days at Wentworth are quite the same, for a widely varied program of schol-

astic, military, athletic and other activities is used to keep the interest of the cadets

at high pitch and their appetites for learning well whetted. Furthermore, no two students

have quite the same duties to perform throughout any given day. There is, however, a

definite routine that all cadets follow each day. It is used to instill perfect regularity and

promptness in attendance upon all duties prescribed for one and all cadets alike.

While it requires some adjustments for new students to become accustomed to this rou­

tine, any slight hint of monotony is soon lost in the kaleidoscopic whirl of the school year.

To give parents and others a better insight, the following pages have been used to set

forth, pictorially, the day's activities from Reveille to Taps, of a typical Wentworth boy

whom we will designate as Cadet Harlan.

The pictures in this section were taken several years ago. However,

since they illustrate life at Wentworth of today, they are still timely.

They are retained because so many of the cadets shown served in

the Armed Forces of their country and so well illustrate the value

of military training as received while at Wentworth.

Since the importance of military preparedness is becoming increas­

ingly evident by the changing world situation, the training illustrated

in this picture section has a special significance.

There have been some uniform changes as may be seen by referring

to the section on Wentworth uniforms.

* Harlan—a typical Wen+worfh cadet.

HERE is Harlan, a typical Wentworth cadet—a fine young Amer­

ican—manly, scholarly and upright. His respect for duty and

responsibility has won for him the rank of sergeant. He may have come

from a large city or a very small town—that makes no difference to

the democratic spirit that prevails at Wentworth. He may be from a

wealthy family or a family in meager circumstances—most of his

classmates would never know, nor even be curious, unless he chose

to tell them. But he typifies all the fine qualities of a deserving and

ambitious youth as he goes through the tried and age-proved Went­

worth process of becoming a real man, a real asset to himself, his

family and friends, and society as a whole.

Harlan, like all the others, participates in many activities besides

those shown. But let's follow him through a typical day.

• • •

Harl«n "Butch" Heffelflnger, who graduated In the class of 1937

and posed as the model cadet in the view book, served as a Major

in the last war.

His brother, Hugo, another Wentworth alumnus, also a Major, and

served with distinction with the Rangers.

Artie Heffelfinger served with the Navy Air Corps as an Ensign.

• - r

* Harlan's first duty is a thorough,

refreshing wash before breakfast.

'it: M-

* U CAN'T SET 'EM UP," blows the bugler, but he does, and at 6:35 o'clock

another day is under way. Cadet Harlan goes first to the sanitary lavatory on

his floor. A good washup is part of the routine, for a cadet is expected to keep him

self clean at all times. At 6:50 he goes to a well-prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, rooms must be cleaned. One of the basic aims of our system

is to form personal habits of order. Each morning Harlan makes his own bed, puts

his clothes in order and helps his roommate clean the room.

* Harlan makes up his

Strict inspection of quarters is a daily routine. Formal inspec­

tion of Harlan's person, room and equipment occurs on Sunday

morning. A t this time unusual care must be taken in cleaning the

room. Our friend sees that hidden corners are carefully dusted,

chairs polished, and everything put in order. Then he takes care

of his person. There's brass to shine, leather to polish, hair to brush,

and whiskers to be removed. A certain time is allotted for this

preparation and all work must be done within that time. This young

fellow knows that any deficiency in this work receives what is

known in Academy language as a "skin"—which counts against

one's company in color competition.

*Har lan is r e a d y f o r t h e

inspector—brass gleaming,

shoes shined—room as clean

as the proverbial "hound's

tooth."

* Here Harlan delves into things scientific. Modern equipment is provided for

all laboratory work.

A T 8 O'CLOCK in the morning, classes convene. Har-

' ^ Ian makes his way to a small class on his schedule

where personal attention is his at any time it is needed.

Our cadet is carefully instructed in the handling of deli­

cate scientific equipment. hHe is not forced to grope

blindly for information. That which is true of the science

laboratories is equally true in all other classrooms.

Time passes rapidly in the classroom or laboratory

because the work is interesting. The scholastic day is

divided into two equal parts, with four classes in the

morning and two in the afternoon.

and health.

Al l the cadets

in the Armed

Service.

A ^ALISTFHENICS play an Important role in the physical education of Cadet hHarlan.

No effort Is made to Indulge In this or any other exercise In the early morn­

ing hours when the body is at Its lowest ebb. All such exercises are taken by our

cadet after a hearty breakfast and morning classes. The exercises are Intended to

promote graceful movement as well as better health. The calisthenics used by the

United States Army are followed. They are led by senior cadet officers.

So long as the weather permits, the calisthenics are held in the open, but they

are taken In the large gymnasium, where an entire battalion may take part at the

same time, when rain or cold is in the air.

*The ten excel­

lent tennis courts

are always popu-

lar.

* Cadet Harlan reports to the Professor of Military Science and Tactics for drill duty.

Cadet Lieutenanf Jack Ramsdell commanding the platoon shown in these

two views, part ic ipated as an officer in the landing on North Africa. He

was decorated with the Silver Star for heroism in action and Purple Heart.

^ N R I L L is a very formal affair. It is on the drill field that Harlan learns much of courtesy, discipline

• ^ and alertness, hie, with his entire battalion. Is thoroughly schooled In good citizenship, taught

the proper respect for superiors and trained In leadership.

Learning to drill a squad is the first training In leadership. Throughout the year squad drill and

competition Is a part of the regular military routine. The squad is the smallest military unit and con­

sists of nine to twelve men, two of whom are sergeants. All Instruction Is conducted by cadets under

the personal supervision of members of the military faculty.

Although military work takes but one hour each day, the training Is Intensive and much more

thorough than that found In larger units. Personal attention Is given the Individual cadet on the

military field as well as in the classroom, and each cadet has an equal chance to advance to Import­

ant positions in Wentworth's military realm. In the army, the navy and the marine corps Wentworth is

glorified by its alumni who have received their commissions and are distinguishing themselves In official

capacities of these respective branches of service.

" • ^ • ' • ^ • • • - ^ ^ ^ ^ • - - ^ - ^ • ^ ^ • ^ ' ^

Like many other cadets, Harlan finds the extended order drill more

interesting. This drill consists of combat methods. hHe is taught to make

use of cover, to advance and to fire. No actual firing is done during

this drill, however, for all the ammunition used is dummy material.

Initiative and leadership are required in this work. Situations arising in

the problems furnished by the War Department call for quick think­

ing and immediate action.

Here our typical cadet finds extended order drill interesting and instructive.

The Cadet Off icer using the field glasses was Captain Woodrow V^ylie, U. S. Army, who part ic ipated

in the f ight on Bataan.

The cadet about to insert the cartr idge in his rifle is Lieut.-Colonel Mi l ton Moran, U. S. Marine A i r

Corps. He part ic ipated in considerable action in the South Pacific.

L O L L O W I N G the morning classes • comes lunch time and our cadet is ready to eat. Academy menus are always varied and pleasing. Meals are carefully planned to suit the needs of all cadets. They are healthful and nutri­tious and just what active, hard-work­ing boys require. Meal times are at 7:00 in the morning, 12:10 and 6:10. This schedule is varied only on Sunday, when dinner becomes a more elaborate meal served at I 2:30.

After dinner there is a recreation period during which hiarlan and other cadets may do pretty much as they choose. The recreation room is a popu­lar place at this time.

*(RIght) Our friend attends a chapel period, held twice each week.

*(Below) "We must get In there and flghtl" says Harlan as he makes a short "pep" talk on the eve of a game.

CADET hIARLAN attends interesting, inform­

ative and inspi rat ional meetings in the

chapel, immediately before lunch on Wednesdays

and Saturdays. These meetings are conducted

by the Academy Chaplain, but are not strictly

religious. Travel talks, health lectures, scientific

demonstrations and short sermons, presented by

outstanding speakers, are frequently on the pro­

gram. The service is opened with a hymn, prayer

and responsive readings, and closed with the sing­

ing of "Wentworth," the Academy song.

"Pep" meetings, preceding important ath­

letic contests, are held In the gymnasium. These

are always occasions of great fun. Students and

faculty make rousing speeches. The cadet band

furnishes gay, martial music and everyone antici­

pates the big game on the morrow. Athletic

contests are Important recreational events. Every

cadet attends them.

* Whi le a majority of the

faculty members live In the

barracks with cadets, some

on the campus.

*Our Cadet receives personal attention from a faculty

member in the library.

I J E R S O N A L attention Is not confined to the

' classroom nor to the evening study periods.

Harlan and many other cadets seek assistance In

the spacious Academy library. The faculty offi­

cer in charge Is always ready and willing to help

any student, no matter what his problem. What­

ever the subject, the faculty officer is qualified

to give the guidance needed.

Wentworth's library Is one of the most import­

ant places on the campus. It contains more than

10,000 books on nearly every subject one could

imagine. Reference books include the famous Ox­

ford English Dictionary and many sets of encyclo­

pedia. I '

" In winter months our boy turns his attention to basketball and other indoor sports.

TR A I N I N G for leadership is important on the footbal l f ield as well as everywhere else

at W e n t w o r t h . More than f i f t y cadets answer the varsity call each year and large

squads turn out for company teams. All players receive intensive training, both in the art

of the game and in clean sportsmanship.

Football ranks as the number one sport and the Red Dragon elevens are consistent win­

ners. The f ine spirit of players and corps is c red i ted with being a strong determining fac to r

in every contest.

In the winter months basketball comes into the spotl ight. Again there are the varsity

and company teams and a place for every cade t who desires to play, hlome games are

played in the spacious gymnasium where there are two courts and ample space for

spectators.

Wen two r th is a member of the Junior Col lege Interstate conference, an athletic asso­

ciat ion numbering seven schools as members. The Wen twor th hiigh School teams are mem­

bers of the Pony Express Conference of Western Missouri. A lmost every major and minor

sports are on the Wen two r th program—al l played under competent coaches—and every

cadet is required to par t ic ipate.

* Here our man-in-the-making is ready for his daily plunge in the pool.

T " H E sparkling, crystal-clear water of the swimming pool Is inviting

' to cadets the year 'round. The pool is of regulation size (20x60)

and is the scene of frequent water sports and aquatic meets. It Is

the purpose to teach every cadet to swim well. The water is warmed

to a healthful temperature and kept pure by efficient filtration and chem­

ical treatment.

Just before the evening study period

is the favorite tune-in time for Cadet

Harlan and other radio devotees. Permis­

sion to have a radio in the room is re­

garded a privilege, the abuse of which

causes the student to lose this favor.

After thirty-five minutes of recreation

following the supper hour, evening study

is begun at 7 o'clock. Each cadet retires

to his own room for a two-hour period

of quiet. There is no stuffy, noisy hall In

which cadets are confined. Instead, indi­

vidual Initiative Is encouraged. Faculty of­

ficers are in constant attendance through­

out the period, giving advice where it is

needed and encouragement at all times.

^ p A P S , at which time all lights must be turned

' out and all cadets remain quiet, is sounded

at 10 o'clock. The soft notes of the bugle

call to close the activities of an eventful day and

the peace of slumber envelops healthy young

bodies until another dawn.

T A P S Fades the light

And afar

Goeth day Cometh night

And a star

Leadeth all

Speedeth all

To their rest.

* The Fountain adjoining the Recreation Room is

popular during dance intermission.

* An advanced class in et iquette.

A well organized program

of instruction in social usage

is a required course for all

s t u d e n t s , and advanced

classes are available for those

who desire them.

Ease of manner in any situ­

ation thus becomes natural to

a Wentworth Cadet. Many

occasions such as these pic­

tured here afford ample op­

portunity for the Cadets to

practice their social graces.

Country Club.

WEIVTWDHTH UNIFORMS The Wentworth uniforms are made of the finest materials. Beautifully fitted, they

are suitable for every occasion, and they include every item a cadet may need.

* The cadet full dress — the officer full dress and the cadet full dress with overcoat.

* Fatigue with and without ConDbat Jacket the athletic uniform.

The purpose of this book has been to give you an ac­

curate, but necessarily inadequate glimpse of the Wentworth

Military Academy and cadet life. In order fully to appreciate

the Academy, it will be necessary for you to visit the campus

in person, see the beautiful grounds and buildings and meet

members of the faculty. The Administration offices are open

the year 'round and your visit will be welcomed at any time.

SUMMER SCHOOL—A military summer school and camp

of 8 weeks duration begins in early June. Activities are

divided equally between scholastic work and recreation. In­

struction is on a tutorial basis and nearly any subject may

be taken.

SPECIAL EVENTS MARKED THE 75th ANNIVERSARY

OF THE FOUNDING OF WENTWORTH

During 1954-1955

Several special events were held, pictured below (or above). The first of these was to recognize Founders Day and honor the memory of Stephen G. Wentworth, the founder, and Col. Sandford Sellers, the first superintendent, who served as head of the Academy for 58 years. The speaker and honored guest was ex-President Harry S. Truman, who addressed the Cadet Corps and the guests in attendance and later placed wreaths on the graves of the two men who were honored. Mr. Truman was made an Honorary Colonel of the Wentwort Cadet Corps during the visit he and his wife made to the Academy,

The second event, although an annual one, our Wentworth show in Kansas City had the distinctive 75th Anniversary color.

The third special occasion was one which received nation­wide publicity, a re-enactment of the Battle of Lexington which

occurred in September of 1861. Joining with the Cadet Corps

in actually portraying the Battle were units from the regular

Army, the National Guard, and R O T C units of Kansas City. The

leading citizens of the City of Lexington, and in fact the whole

community, joined in preparation for this very unusual event.

As much realism as possible was achieved, even including the co­

operation of the elements because it rained continuously during

the day, May 12, 1955, on which this event was held, as it had

during the actual Battle, according to authentic records. Attend­

ing the event were many high ranking Army officers and other

distinguished citizens, which made it one of the most remarkable

days in the entire history of Wentworth Military Academy and

of the City of Lexington.

The Honor Guard, the snap drill team of Wentworth, is invited on many special occasions to appear before the public. Pictured below is Secretary of the Army Robert Stevens, accompanied by Charles C. Stephenson, civilian assistant to the Secretary in this area, as they inspect the Honor Guard at the Grandview Air Base during Armed Forces Day, May 21, 1955.

THE NEW CHAPEL

An outstanding addition to the facilities of Wentworth is the new chapel used for the first time during Commencement 1955. This building was dedicated November 6, 1955. An electric organ was installed a year ago and was used for the first time

January 4—Left home this morning and caught my plane at 1:40. We arrived in Kansas City at 3:30 and I was met by my roommate, John Dillingham, and his parents. I visited with them that night at their home near Nashua.

January 5—The inevitable day dawns; we arrived in Lexington about 5:00 and by supper time, our room was practically straight. Regular study hours were observed tonight, but about all we did was relive the previous two weeks.

January 6—Talk about "Blue Mondays," this really took the cake. However, we soon got back into the swing of things; you can't be idle very long around here.

January 7—1 was on floor chief duty tonight; naturally I got very little studying done. Earlier in the evening Gene Eaton and I took a supper permit and ate at the Dragon Den,

January 8—We drew rifles which we had turned into the Military Department before vacation. Most of the evening was spent working on my English paper. It turned much colder tonight,

January 9—1 wonder if 1 will ever pass organic chemistry. After that class today, I don't think that I ever will—I guess this just wasn't one of my days.

January 10—Lucky me! I had rec room duty; I would have to pull duty on a night when the rec room had to be kept open till 10:00 because of permits.

January 11—Today the chaplain conducted a memorial service during chapel for alumni who died during the past year.

January 12—Hdqs. only took fourth in parade today; will have to work harder next Sunday. Several of us took a "soupee" and afterwards went to the movies.

January 13—Signed up for second semester classes today and bought my books. I'll be taking qualitative analysis, English literature, physics and comparative anatomy; should be fun!

January 14—Tonight is cold, snowy, and wet. Hdqs. basketball team played B Company this afternoon, and won 22-9; I made 6 points. The college varsity team played St. Paul and won, 61-54; my roommate is one of the main players on the college team,

January 15—1 finally got my research paper turned it—what a relief not to have that hanging over my head! Spent most of the evening studying for "organic" final.

January 16—STOP DAY—after our last class we were free until taps with the exception of supper. I had my chemistry final this after­noon—sure hope I did O.K.

January 17—Late BRC because of the Stop Day yesterday. The college basketball team played Kemper tonight and won, 62-60; what a thriller!

January 18—Government class this morning and two hours of drill this afternoon. Reverend Schuessler of the Presbyterian church spoke this morning at chapel.

January 19—1 played the organ at the Presbyterian church service this morning. Hdqs. took first in parade. My roommate's parents were down today, and I went to dinner with them. It's nice to eat out once in a while.

January 20—Had my first "qualitative lab" this morning, most of the time was spent cleaning up the bottles and other equipment. It started snowing tonight; rather cold.

January 21—It snowed all day, and by the time it stopped, 15 inches had accumulated. It's hard to get anywhere, but it certainly is beautiful. It's quite a task trying to march up the hill in snow over your ankles.

January 22—We had our English final today; think I did rather well. The sun came out today, but the snow is still deep.

January 23—Had my physics final today, and was it ever rough! Ciot two letters which pleased me very much.

January 24—Very little happened today out of the ordinary. I had a tree afternoon as chemistry and English did not meet, Mrs. Alt, the chemistry teacher, is snowbound at her home in Carrollton.

January 25—1 had my last final today—in government. Now the wait to see how my grades came out; think I did well in everything.

January 26—Played the organ at the Christian Church this morn­ing. W e took first in parade again. A number of us took "soupies" and then went to see "The Ten Commandments"; it was a wonderful movie.

January 27—The first semester grades came out today—Mother and Dad should be real happy as I was on the dean's special distinction list for the semester.

January 28—Maj. Etter gave us our dogfish specimens for com­parative anatomy today—I'm beginning to wonder just what I have gotten myself into.

January 29—Fred Sellers and I studied tonight on anatomy notes we took yesterday; the study of protoplasm can certainly get involved.

January 30—1 called Mother today as it was her birthday. My evening was spent in the gym helping decorate for the Military Ball this Saturday, This getting to bed at 12:15 doesn't go over very big with me.

January 31—Had five straight classes today, then band for two hours. It started snowing again today, but there were only about two inches this time.

February 1—Tonight was the annual Military Ball. The decora­tions were beautiful and the orchestra was excellent. I didn't even have too much trouble in the receiving line. Too bad these nights can't last forever.

February 2—The young lady who was my date last night. Miss Julie Horner of Kansas City, went to church with me this morning. Headquarters won the parade this afternoon which made us very happy. W e received three guidons for military, disciplinary, and scholastic excellence.

February 3—Another one of those blue, blue Mondays. However, Mom sent some wonderful candy which made things seem much better.

February 4—The high school basketball team beat Grain Valley 32-29 in a hair-raising game; our team certainly looked good. The snow has started to melt quite a bit now; can't say that I'm too sorry about that.

February 5—1 put in a little extra time in the anatomy lab this morning; maybe I'll be ready for the practical test tomorrow. It's sure easy to get behind in there.

February 6—Late breakfast this morning. I had good intentions of getting up early this morning and doing some extra studying, but I just turned off the alarm and went back to sleep.

February 7—We had a physics test this morning on magnetism and electrostatics; I don't think 1 did too well on this one.

February 8—It turned very cold today. Our horns froze tonight when we were playing for retreat. Got a letter from Mom this morning.

February 9—Fred Sellers came in for a bull session tonight. Natur­ally, we got little studying done, but you have to have a break once in a while.

March 11—All good things have to end sometime, and this is no exception. We had to leave home at 5:30 A.M., in order for me to catch a plane at 8:30. The flight was very nice and we arrived in Kansas City at 1:30, I ate lunch at the bus station and caught the Lexington bus at 2:30. My r(X)mmate will be on furlough until Friday, so I had to straighten up the room myself. It wasn't in too bad a shape, though.
