FIRST BATTALION Ron came to the Naval Academy after attending San Fernando High School: however, he now spends his leave time in Potter Valley. California. (Rumor has it that he has l)een taking extra instruction in navigation to aid him in finding his home town.) Aside from his bright red hai r, Ron is also a standout in aca- demics. His name has been a steady entry on the Supcrintendant ' s List. The liberty privileges associated with star grades have been diligently used by Ron in his activities with the Lop advertising staff. Sports play a big part in his life: every team has benefited by his participation. His ambitions show favoritism toward the Marine Corps; but no matter what direction Ron takes when our class separates, he will be an asset to whatever branch of naval service he chooses. RONALD HOBSON WECHT JOHN WILKINSON Ray will long be remembered for his work with the Spiffics . playing lead guitar for that group during all of his four years at Navy. By no means limited to one field, however. Ray was a battalion crew coxswain and a varsity sub-scpiader each spring and kept a very popular column in THE 1.0(i magazine. Hay is a Navy junior and came to Navy via Washington-I.ee High School in Arling- ton, Va. Short of stature, but long on spirit and truly a great guy to know, Ray was not what one would call a slash, but he found time out of his many activities to keej) up a string of good grades. A quick smile and a ruffle of abstract Math books announce that John Wilkinson is on the .scene. Leaving an impressive academic and athletic record behind him at Hewlett High School on Long Island, John came to the Academy in the footsteps of an older brother in the Class of ' 63. His Plebe Year, John led his company to a Brigade championship in cross country and then sparked the half-mile com- binations on the Plebe track team. Coming to the First Company, Wilk was quick to establish a reputation as a quick wit and an aggressive competitor in intramural sports. Taking enough Math overloads to make Guass look green with jealousy, he even found time to take part in an after class seminar in abstract algebra to further his background. As John leaves the school where Admirals are born, he looks forward to a successful career in the Navy. RAYMOND OLLON WILKINSON II 38

FIRST BATTALION The music world ' s contribution to the Naval Academy. Cliarles Michael Butterfield. an ex-while hat. hails from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Mike, a Drum and Bugle Corps regular, has participated in almost all the musical organizations here at the Academy. I ' lebe year, he played trumpet for the N. -10 and the Concert Band. Youngster year, he shifted to the hass fiddle and he picked up the tambourine for the Salvation . rmy Band. Since then he has also joined the Anchormen. the Sideboys. and the Annapolis Jazz Quintet. First Class year he moved to Leader of the NA-10. Besides his musical activities, Mike has been Business Manager for the Popular Music Concerts. Company Honor Representative, a cheerleader, and a BAC member. Mike ' s quick wit and consistent sense of humor have made him very popular throughout the Brigade. II CHARLES MICHAEL BUTTERFIELD JOHN BARRY CLODIG A native of Gary. Indiana, John came to the Academy happy and smiling. Always well informed on world affairs, John has endeared himself to the English, History, and Government department known affectionately as the bull department. He has, however, not neglected his other ' interests which include judo, art, murder mysteries, and sports. As a member of the Public Relations Committee. John has announced almost every sport at Navy. Always ready to crack a joke or make a witty remark, he has always maintained his good nature and sense of humor; even through such trying times as youngster cruise! It seems Indiana failed to prepare John for the rolling .waves of the sea and the gentle rocking of the ship which accompanies them. John ' s ship had no more than pulled away from the pier when he was seized by that dread plague known as seasickness. John made many trips to the rail that summer; but he never failed to do a good job. Determination and perseverance like this will make him a fine and long remembered Naval Officer. The old Dales comes to us from Wilmington Delaware, (and don ' t forget the Delaware) straight from high school where he was a letterman in Football, Basket- ball, and probably his first love. Baseball. An avid sports fan. John can be classified as an expert on either the Boston Red .Sox or the Boston Celtics, whether it be averages, players, lives or records. F.ven though his letter- winning days didn ' t carry over here at Navy. John could be counted on heavily when it came to the intramural pro- gram. The other major interests, besides sports, are John ' s studies and minor speculations in the stock market. He has been an eager student during his four years here and has taken full advantage of the new elective program. John ' s quick wit and sense of humor, have made him quite popular with many of his classmates. John has never been one to turn down the chance to do a friend a good turn, and can always be counted on in a time of need. Through his perseverance and determined dedica- tion to his studies and education, John will surely do well in any field ihul he chooses, and should become an out- standing Naval Officer. 40
