ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FACTS ABOUT THE CLASS OF 1970 (“THE KNOBS OF DISCIPLINE”) TERRY KNEEN F COMPANY, 1970 A NOTE TO THE CITADEL CLASS OF 1970 Over the last several years I have been asking classmates to give me inputs about our four years at The Citadel. In the last several months I have been asking “what did you do after we left The Citadel”. I have put all of this information into the following document. It was my original intention to make “hard copies” of this and to have that included in the Fiftieth Reunion Welcome Packet. COVID 19 has changed that plan. I’m not so sure that we will even have a Fiftieth Reunion this year. Unless things change drastically, I cannot imagine school Admin allowing or wanting a bunch of 70 year old alumni on campus during these times. While things may change and we may still have the reunion, I think it is best that I go ahead and put my “Senior Essay” on the Class of 1970 website. The title of this document is, “ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FACTS ABOUT THE CLASS OF 1970”. It is divided into NINE parts: Preface (page 3) The Statistical Facts (pages 4 thru 7) Knob Year Facts (pages 8 thru 18) Sophomore Year Facts (pages 19 thru 23) Junior Year Facts (pages 24 thru 27) Senior Year Facts (pages 28 thru 32) The Citadel Ring (page 33) Whatever Happened to the Class of 1970 (pages 34 thru 39) Notes/Bibliography/Sources/Acknowledgements (pages 40 thru 41) I hope you will enjoy reading about our class and your classmates. And maybe this will inspire you to grab your favorite adult beverage and then call your old roommate to reminisce about the good old days! Please feel free to make copies of this. Go Dogs!!!! Terry Kneen F Company, Class of 1970 [email protected] 1 DEDICATED TO MY F TROOP KNOB BROTHERS 2 PREFACE One thousand nine hundred and seventy facts? Really? Very doubtful. Because I still try to live by the Honor Code, I cannot tell a lie. I do not have a clue about how many facts are actually in the following document. Probably not one thousand nine hundred and seventy. But there are numerous facts about the Class of 1970. And you have to admit that the title, “One Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy Facts About The Class of 1970” is catchy. Just before our fortieth reunion (ten years ago), I wrote a piece called F Troop Knob which was intended to spark conversation among the F Company guys. It is posted on our Class of 1970 website and many of you have read it. Several encouraged me to expand it for the entire class. I received hundreds of inputs from classmates who told me stories about our time at The Citadel. Some of the stories were humorous but not repeatable. Don’t worry, your secrets are safe with me and won’t be repeated. But every time I started to put it all together, it looked like I was just regurgitating what REAL authors had already put out. I did not want to “copy” Pat Conroy, Tom Worley or Alexander Macauley. They are the true “story tellers”. But I did get a lot of FACTS about our class and that is how this document evolved. Several of the “facts” in this document are questionable as to whether or not they are accurate. Some probably are not. Record keeping during our time at The Citadel was sometimes “sloppy”. There were no computers and records were kept with pencil and paper. I found it nearly impossible to get a definite, totally correct, accurate count of how many of us started, how many left each semester or year, how many of us finished, and how many of us actually graduated in 1970 or later years. Trying to get that information is like herding cats or trying to nail jello to a wall. Even various record keepers at the school have a different way of counting. Therefore, a lot of these facts are best guesses. This is about the Class of 1970. It is about the entire class that started together in September 1966 but did not necessarily finish together in May 1970. Some of us graduated on time in four years. Some of us graduated later after gaining required hours. Some of us dropped out of school to enter the Armed Forces and later came back to complete our degrees. Some of us dropped out of school at various times for various reasons and never obtained a degree. Some courses of study were a lot tougher than others. I can guarantee that our classmates who majored in EE faced a more difficult curriculum than those of us (ME) who managed to cram a two-year English major into four years. One final thought. While this is about the Class of 1970, anyone who attended The Citadel as a member of the Class of 1967 thru the Class of 1973 will find facts about things that occurred during their time as a cadet. The various regulations, events, and the fourth class system did not change much during that time period. For the better, some things did change as time moved on. I hope you enjoy reading this and that it will bring back memories of a time long, long ago. Terry Kneen F Company Class of 1970 [email protected] 3 THE STATISTICAL FACTS Records from The Citadel Office of Admissions show that 1,753 applications for admission were received from students interested in joining the class entering in September 1966. From those applications, 1,166 (67%) of the applicants were accepted for admission. There were six African American applicants and three of them were accepted for admission. The Class of 1970 reported to The Citadel at 0900 hours, Tuesday, 6 September 1966. The Citadel Official Register for The Period September 1966 – September 1967 lists 659 incoming freshmen reporting on 6 September 1966 (Class of 1970). Among those 659 there was one African American: Charles DeLesline Foster. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Courvoisie (The Boo), Assistant Commandant of Cadets, wrote in a letter to previous ‘lambs’ that “September 1966 saw over 2,100 so called cadets, with only 650 ‘knobs’.” The Circle K Club published a complete listing of students enrolled at The Citadel in the Fall of 1966. At that time there were 422 Seniors, 482 Juniors, 541 Sophomores and 624 Freshmen for a total of 2,069 cadets enrolled at The Citadel. Between 6 September 1966 and the publication of the Circle K Club listing, 35 incoming members of the Class of 1970 had withdrawn. Based on the Circle K Club listing, the 624 Freshmen cadets (“knobs”) were assigned to the various companies as follows: BAND Company started with 43 knobs. 23 of those knobs would graduate on time in May 1970 and 9 later graduated for a total of 32 graduates (74%). A Company started with 44 knobs. 22 of those knobs would graduate on time in May 1970 and 4 later graduated for a total of 26 graduates (59%).

    The Guidon 2016 - 2017

    The Guidon 2016 - 2017 The South Carolina Corps of Cadets WELCOME TO THE CITADEL The Guidon is published every year as a source of information for fourth-class cadets. As a member of the Class of 2020, you are highly encouraged to familiarize yourself with all of the information enclosed in The Guidon. Since your initial time on campus will be filled with many activities, it is suggested to be familiar with as much of this information as possible before you report. The Guidon consists of two parts: general information that will help a cadet recruit become acclimated to The Citadel campus and lifestyle and required fourth-class knowledge, a mix of traditional Citadel knowledge and leader development knowledge. The cadet chain of command will test knobs on each piece of required knowledge and record the results in the tracking log in the back of The Guidon. This log and the process associated with it will be one assessment tool TACs can use as part of determining whether or not to certify cadets in several LDP learning outcomes. The required knowledge will be presented in manageable sizes that correspond to milestones in the fourth-classmen’s progression through the year. The milestones are broken down as follows: the end of Challenge Week, the end of Cadre Period, the end of first semester, and second semester until Recognition Day. The knowledge progresses from rudimentary information through more complex ideas, and culminates with the cadets becoming familiar with the Leadership Development Plan for The Citadel and how they will fit into that plan as upperclassmen.
