Maurice Perdomo Mo Riverside. California Oceanography U.S. Marine Corps Mo came from Ihe other part of Californip with hopes o) being a member of the U S Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps upon commission- nmg Well, the teachings ot Compy. Smitty, and Bad Willie during Plebe Summer brought to him the revelation that line members of the Academy don ' t and can ' t do such things Thus, he resigned from Ihe U S Naval Academy Drum and Bugle Corps, but. kept up his musical talents in the Pep Band, plus getting out of every Saturday march-over An attribute is his speechlessness Mo is so quiet that It wasn ' t until youngster year we found out that he really does talk He was barely able to use his speech on one Saturday night m Dahlgren due to his inebriated state Somehow he was able to hold a conversation with a young woman named Susan and since then has held a very steady courtship He must have spoken at least one more time to Susan to utter the words. Will you marry me ' ' Their date was 25 May 85 Another fine quality of Mo ' s is his faith in his mother He used his second class loan to acquire an automobile However, he let his lower California mom purchase a red (yuch). automatic (ha ha). CRX Well, one out of three he can live with, Mo will make a line addition to the Corps, So long. B James N. Olmsted Nick Lyme.

He finished all the math thai his school could otter him by 1 1th grade so he spent part of his high school days at Darimouth Nick was a hardcharger throughout plebe summer Medical problems disrupted his first aca- demic year with trips to Bethesda. but after having already validated enough hours, the setback was minor and Nick had no problem keeping up When he wasn ' t helping one of us with El m Diffy O ' s or German he was shuffling off to drop in and say hi lo )usl about everyone Always a spirited Navy supporter. Nick did his part on Navy ' s ISO ' s Even when he didn ' t make Ihe Iraveling team for the little Army-Navy game in Pottsvilte. he made sure to ride up and cheer on his learn from the stands with Ron They took a inp together south for spring break, too, When every- one else went to Fort Lauderdale Ron and Nick took a hop to New Orleans for Mardi Gras They had no room and little money, but after crashing on a couple of Tulaners they enjoyed a great week Nick ' s journey ' s look him a bit farther when he joined the German Navy for a FOREX cruise , It was a cruise and paid vacation he ' ll never forget Nick will be one of those last minute supnses when It comes to service selection mghi, but we all know he ' ll be a success and a credit to whatever community gets him Best of luck and times RN.F. 424 Eleventh Company T Hf? KT . • [ H i 1 Robert C Perry Rob Alexandria. Vriginia General Engineering Naval Aviation A Southern boy from Alexandria Va Rob ongi- ' nally came to USNA intent on playing base- ball, but found this pretty hard to do from the helm of an lOR yacht He was a varsity sailor until (irst class year when he found it was quite impractical to skipper both a yacht and a company during pa- rades Regaining his land legs he marched the com- pany to an amazing 9th place overall, a notable mark for the historically cellar (not stellar) dwelling marching 11 Rob started his schooling as an Ocean Engineer, but soon look the common sense (General) route, due mainly to his love for those ever precious week- ends The resulting high marks would allow him lo follow his father ' s and brother ' s footsteps under the sea, however Rob decided that airplanes and fresh air were much more desireable than a sickly pallor. and headed to P-cola and the front seat of an F- 14 The noticeable sag in his lower lip is evidence of Rob ' s favorite hobby, dipping With Rob ' s noxious drool and Brett ' s general overall disgust and bacte- ha laden desk drawer their room was in a constant slate of ferment When not off sailing on the Bay Rob was the best Fieldball goalie the Brigade ever saw and the only Southern boy saddled with a Big Apple Girl and a New Jersey refuse heap for a roommate Perhaps as his roommate tor three years I changed his opinion of New Jersey but cer- tainly not of New Jersians Good luck getting up in the morning at Pensacola and good luck to you always FLY NAVY! BJG TPW Stephen L. Powers Stevie Alexandria. Virginia General Engineering Naval Aviation Sievie came to the Academy with only two things in mind, playing hockey and flying jets To Steve, hockey is the toughest and most physical sport around Ot course, it is played only by the coolest guys We all are glad that Steve did get hrs pilot billet For awhile, the renown Bancroft medical gave us a scare But his tamily history ot perfect eyes proved them wrong His wanting lo be a fighter jock was easily seen with his pilot sunglasses, chewing gum, and streamlined car He ' s tough all-nght, even with a 102F fever he still wants the window open in he middle of winter His James Bond type adven- ures probably put Stevie at the top ot the brigade n number of times sneaking out He never com- plained once about Ihe Jimmy Legs just waving him Who ' s gonna know ' ' They won ' t tell He used jll us confidently For a guy who loved beer, it didn ' t lake much for him lo lose count His (avorite Bud but I think he liked another large more an anything else.

1 Charles R. Morgan Rick Charleston. West Virginia Oceanography Surface Warfare Dick came to ihe Academy direct from the ' • coal mines of West Virginia. Well actually Rick IS from Charleston. WVA and a graduate of Stonehead. er I mean Stonewall Jackson High School. But he ain ' l no holler boy and proud of il Rick doesn ' t remember much about Plebe Summer since he was asleep the full duration Plebe year was quite different as we took it upon ourselves to break m our roommate, the future bri- gade commander Rtck has fond memories of pea- nut butter on nametages. rearranging perfect blotters, and Stuart sandwiches. The best memory Rick has of Plebe year was the look on Slu baby ' s (ace when Nature called Rick one morning Probably the most forgettable experience was Ihe day Ihe fifth wing lequilla bar was discovered. The past years have been unique as Rick ' s room- mate-Rudy ' s, Plebe Detail, and pulling you out of the ladies ' room at Lazlo ' s are only a few of the good memories. Good luck in the future, Black Shoe Morgan. TPW Terrance J. Mulich. Jr. TJ Fairfield, California Physical Science U.S. Marine Corps r J came to us from sunny California as a care- free, short tempered individual. His addition to the company (second class year it became a multi- plication) has been noticed by all. His (laming red hair, short (use and the occasional steam coming out of his ears could often be seen at formation when a bad day had passed his way I feel sorry for TJ ' s men when he is a grunt platoon commander. TJ loves to run al odd hours for miles and miles at a rapid pace Just what the Marine Corps ordered, TJ Ihe flaming hot head running machine When TJ isn ' t running he can usually be found at the officers club or at Rudy ' s insulting strange women When that special girl comes along she will come second on his priority list after his CRX. TJ can often t e seen after school just sitting in his car admiring it. Like his dad. TJ has his mind geared toward a military career. Sometime during it he will become Dr T J. f ulich professor of engineering. After re- tirement he will head back to sunny California with Ihe wild women and big waves. I ' ll see you there. Later S Stuart B. Munsch JM Cakes. North Dakota Electrical Engineering Nuclear Power - Submarines How does a guy write about someone who who does everything so welP Rhodes Schol- ar Brigade Commander Nalional Champion in Pis- tol All-Amencan Team Captam President of 2 c Mess Night Vice President of the class. Member of the Antiphonal Choir. Actually folks the answer is simple. Its easy to write about Siu because he is just like everyone else deep down. Stuart strolled mlo the institute that fateful day without claiming any desire but to gra- dule We should have known this proclaimation to be Ihe first Munsch understatement. A little shy as a plebe. he has opened up over time Although, he still keeps a bit of it lucked away to this day Youngster year, we discovered on his desk an index card on which was drawn seven symbols A cross, the outlines of N.D and ihe British Isles, six vertical lines, five circles arranged something like the Olympic symbol, four stars, and someone ' s ini- tials. Well . . faith remained foremost m his life and he is forever tied to his roots. Slu made it to En- gland twice - once on an exchange cruise and twice for Oxford He served as our BC second set The Olympics Not yet but I ' ll be looking for him in the future Of the stars and the initials ■ I ' ll leave that for the reader to figure out One might think that with all he has done he would become caught up in himself. The opposite has happened While remaining confident, Slu has developed a sense of awareness that is rare A real people person, Stuart always has the time to listen. quick to solicit the opinions of others, he consideres those opinions as seriously as his own Modesty and humility are his trademarks. Stu ' s answer ' alright ' lo the question How ya doin ' can mean everything from acmg a lest to setting a na- tional record He ' s a best friend to many And, when all is said and done. Stuart will be Stuart! Your friend. Steve. Henry L. Murphy Hank Huntington. New York Physical Science Naval Aviation Hank came to the Naval Academy after an arduous year at prep school where he spent much of his time building up his reputation When Hank finally got to the academy he found plebe summer to be more than he bargained for While an excellent runner, he jusi couldn ' t learn lo march. Wild Bill helped to correct Ihe situation Academi- cally Hank remains in the top 95 % of our class and should graduate as a full-fledged scientist To this day he continually changes roommates in his search for the perfect one None of us has yet proved 10 be Ihe savior (not even I) After breezing through his first two years at the academy Murf ran into his first bit of trouble as a second class when he decided to take some late mghi liberty and go on a road trip to Hood II was an adventurous trip that ended with a inp to the Deputy and a black N . After he recovered from this he found himself taking more and more challenging inps. Who could forget (or even remember) that trip to Scranton (God ' s country), or the infamous Whitewater canoe trip. Second class spring break became the ultimate challenge Hank kept us all laughing all the lime we were there. Who else could be forced to swim till I die! That very same night Murf took his unfortu- nate roomriale swimming. Senior year came and Hank was always looking for more adventures, earning him the nickname fur, fish and game . As service selection approaches we know Hank has a pilot billet waiting for him. Good luck Hank in your future Thanks tor all Ihe good times. Take care. RPD

Stephen A. Racine Steve Cohasset. Massachusetts Applied Science U.S. Marine Corps - Naval Flight Officer M ' ' ditficult task it IS to write about some- ' r one who Over tour years has grown to be such a close friend, and whom you have experi- enced so rnuch with Someone whom you dread parting with at graduation Steve IS especially dilferenl from other people. Sieve IS one who commits himself to an objective and pursues it whole heartedly There were many a long night when Steve unfailingly studied the books instead of sleeping He worked very hard for his success but always had the time to give help to others, Steve believes in the Academy and did his best to make it better He was concerned about people even if it meant giving them a real plebe year . Although it seemed impossible. Steve gazed at the granite siructure known as Bancroft and decid- ed to stick it out He quickly learned the menu as he chopped down to formation and survived the laws of the navy He continued to work hard, never slacking the pace Second class year we began to ask some ques- tions about Mr Clean such as Why the Nerd haf and snnirrrreefff . Fortunately, we asked. Don ' t you think you ' ll need a car next year? So Steve went and helped organize the car show and the car loan. That year Steve must have rented a room at Nimitz First class year found Steve as Batt Ops, putting together a first ever bat mess night Second semes- ter he moved back into the real world where the day began at 0730 With the influence of the Mage. Marine opt cruise, and friends, Steve made the fight choice — USMC Steve ' s concern for others, openess, high ideals, and warmth will be missed by all who knew him He has made a tasting impression that wilt not soon be forgotten It ' s been a long four years Your future looks great Good Luck, Steve JDE KJB SBM Frank A, Simei Jr. Francois Wiltiamstown. New Jersey Applied Science Nuclear Power - Surface Frank came to the Naval Academy to be- comes it changed weekly Admittedly he had no true direction. Most of us thought he was a mafia hitman Somehow he came up with an almost new 280ZX for almost nothing One never knows . . Franks always made friends easily Because of this, many in his hometown (exit 2) came to know him as JOOW. While at school he didn ' t put too much time info his work and classes (those which he bothered to attend) Despite the fact that he has turned taking short cuts into a science, which he tells us IS a part ol his management major, he main- tains a 3 average At the Academy, Frank has turned into a good swimmer In fact he spent most every free period swimming m the big blue pool Frank really knows how to beat the system here, too bad his other system didn ' t work in A.C. He ' s just a walking money making machine Money was partly behind his decision to become a nuke He was always a believer in luxury and parties He threw some of the best at his house, where the punch was his special (Hawaiian) Always on the prowl for girls. Frank had trouble finding the right girl for the ring dance. With the kind help of his roommate he finally found her and has been with Karia ever since What a big difference she has made in his life They are made for each other Frank now spends alt of his free lime roadtnppmg with the Puke to Delaware Thank goodness for first class year! We would all like to wish Frank the best of luck in all he does We know that what ever he puts his heart into succeeds beautifully RPD and SLR ■fW Cnstopher J. Smith CJ. Indialantic. Florida Mechanical Engineering Nuclear Power - Submarines CJ came to the Naval Academy a tall, lanky surf bum from sunny Florida. Right away, he showed a better than decent ability to swim, man- aging to letter plebe year, and then moving on to become Navy ' s top sprinter over the next couple of years At the same time, he managed to pull some pretty decent grades as a mechanical engineer, burning a lot of midnight (and later) oil to do so But these late nights always caught up to hrm as wit- nessed by a long list of classes slept through (ac- companied by a just as long hst of corresponding conduct offenses) During second-class year. CJ. became a bona fide member of the Black N Club CJ. (who didn ' t have a weekend) let his roommate (who did have a weekend) talk him into going up to Hood College after taps had been taken Needless to say. tlih Company was picked for a bed-check that nighl Oh well, what are roommates for anyhow? Anyway, it looks like C J. is going to make it as a Mech E and graduate (if he doesn ' t sleep through graduation day!) The best of luck to you on those nuke boats, and I realty was sorry about busting your car window! James B. Stemple Troll Albion, Pennsylvania Oceanography U.S. Marine Corps rroll was delivered unto the world from the bus- tling little town of Albion Pennsylvania. From the time he was a little tyke, he knew what he wanted from this life His list of necessities included. hard rock music, monstrous motorcylces, and beer. When old enough to make such decisions he decid- ed on the one place where these needs could be fulfilled, the US Naval Academy It was certainly our lucky day when the Troll passed through the gates to become a member of the class of ' 85 If for nothing else, his fame was quickly assured when his scent wafted through- out the halts of Bancroft. Just a couple of beers set off a chemical reaction that was unparralled in the known world, and sent dogs running tor cover. Despite such drawbacks, Jim still manged to at- tract some beauty with his charm and wit One such debutante was so grateful for having Jim. that she gave him a present to lake with him throughout his travels Senior year brought with it the appearance of Jim on a new toy With his leather jacket, black helmet, and monstercyde. he was ready to do some terror- izing. His first victim, a small defenseless dog was lucky enough to escape with his life. I myself felt the wrath of Jim and came up one window short in my car as a result I can only hope that the Marine Corp is ready tor the appearance of a Troll within their ranks. Good luck in the future Jim
