As a cadet at Wentworth, I have made many friends and learned a great

deal about life. I plan to enter into law

Wentworth is help­ing me achieve that

goal.

Cadet life

I SCREAM... Ameriserve provides food & fun

The team from

Ameriserve

treated the

cadets to many

special events.

Ice cream was

always a

favorite.

Sunday Brunch Mrs. Shirley carves up a Sunday turkey. Too often we take for granted the little things, but

Ameriserve's staff could always be counted on for a good home-

cooked meal.

I'm over here... .Cadets serve themselves

during the buffet style Valentine Supper

prepared with love by Ameriserve.

30

There were many field trips on the weekends. The 120th Corps went to the circus, the Zoo, Science City, the Mall, movies, paintballing, ice skating and even Worlds of Fun.

KARAOKE Anyone? Cadets gather around a monitor for Karaoke night sponsored by

the Parents Association.

KC WIZARDS SOCCER

Cadets Taylor, Hobin, Christensen and the rest of the

High School Soccer team enjoy a night at

Arrowhead Stadium watching the Kansas City Wizards under

the stars.

Among the many new

faces to Wentworth this year, Captain Charles

Withrow joined the Wentworth Triad as the Director of

Cadet Activi­ties. CPT Withrow, "The Fun

Guy", spon­sored weekly events and trips for the 120th Corps of Cadets.

HANG-OUTS

Everything from toothpaste

to wall decorations, the

Quartermaster store has it.

CPT Meierer and CPT

Schmidt work thanklessly to

issue uniforms, pass out

packages and sell everything

you need.

Above

The Quartermaster store is a popu­lar hang-out among cadets. After dinner, cadets can be seen lining the check-out counter as they pur­chase snacks, books, pens, paper and everything you can imagine.

Lower Right

Honor It has become

tradition for many cadets to find the resting place of

Stephen G. Wentworth, founder of

Wentworth Military Academy, and have

their photograph taken. Cadet

Williamson pays his respects to our

founder.

Lower Left College cadets spent much of their free time studying for those big tests.

Wentworth Saves 540 Lives:

COMMUNITY

entworth

hosted

two community blood

drives this year. The

combined blood

drives brought in over

two hundred donors

and collected over 180

pints of blood. Mrs.

Whirley, from the

Community Blood

Center, explained

how three lives are

saved with each pint

of blood collected.

"When blood is

collected, 90% is

separated into

components,

plasma, and red

cells. One pint of

blood can help 3

people! On behalf

of the Community

Blood Center and

our local hospital

patients, we say

Thank you"

Candy Whirley.

34

Peace Out SFC Hutchinson made it a point to donate each time this year. While many fac­ulty members were unable to donate, the JROTC de­partment had 100% atten­dance, helping 9 people.

Everything OK here! c/ SGT Morgan signals to the camera that all is well during his donation. Mor­gan donated at both of Wentworth's Blood Drives.

Sit Back and Relax! c/CPL Nick Ames donated twice this year. Ames pre­ferred to have his blood drawn from his left arm and during second hour!

Have A Drink On Us Cadet Richey (pictured left) enjoys a refreshing bever­age while donating. Richey donated twice this year.

Vintage Homes Tour

The Anderson House is a favorite among visi­tors and townspeople alike. Located in his­toric Lexington, MO, the Anderson house was completed in 1853.

Pride... Lexington's annual

Civil War Vintage

Homes Tour was a

huge success.

Wentworth cadets,

dressed in period

clothing, escorted

tourists through

many of Lexington,

Jr. High Basketball Hoop Dreams

The Wentworth Red Dragon Junior High Basketball team hung together during 7 tough losses this year. Cadet Keith Kiefer and Cadet Zach Laufenburger helped bring their team to 1 victory with a 41-35 win against the Hardin Bulldogs on November 9th in the Wikoff Athletic Center. Cadets Sharp, President and Swanson also assisted in the victory. Coach Dieter Bock was enthusiastic with an early win under his belt. Unfortunately, the Junior High's dreams of going to Districts would fall short. "I admire the cadets that continue to show up for practices and put as much effort into the games each week", one of the coaches was noted as saying.

Cadet Challenge Cadet Challenge is a program run through the JROTC department that is meant to find out the physical capabilities of each cadet. It is made up of 5 events: pull-ups, shuttle run, standing long jump, sit-ups, and a mile run.

74

The Corps Run The corps run is designed to give each cadet a little exercise while demonstrating proper cover and dress. During the first semester, the corps did a 6 mile road march. Earlier this semester, the corps did a corps run that was about a mile long.

75

Cadet Drill Down Cadet drill down is an activity allowing the battalion commander to inspect the level of training and discipline of his subordinates... And a chance for cadets to earn some merits.

Tri-Mil Competition The tri-military competition is a drill meet, this year being held at Kemper Military School. Overall, Wentworth took second in the competition, with Kemper being first, and Missouri Military Academy finishing last.
