However, Chris is a fair man and let the Tactical Department fire at him, too. After four CHARLES RAY HILLIS JR.

MICHAEL REED HELMICK B-3 Warrenton, Virginia Lieutenant Arriving from the civilian confines of Virginia, Mike quickly adjusted to West Point life. Always serving as a font of Engineering knowledge for his classmates, Mike helped many an NSPA concen- trator pass Mechanics. A vast gift of organizational ability and attention to detail will take this Engi- neer a long way. He will undoubtedly pedal through life in high gear and at a steady velocity.

Either pulverizing opponents on the football field or cracking brews, Bert was uncrowable. No one believed a tech ween could hang so hard, but Bert hung. Pops always kept the Zoo supplied with brew and squat, which cannot be repaid. The Zoo would not be the same without Bert. fifS ' Ski Club 4. 3. 2, 1, In !M Club 1; CPRC 3. 2. X DONALD CURT HENDERSHOT B-4 Sebring, Ohio Sergeant Whether falling from the sky or driving his Cor- vette, this Buffalo will be remembered for making a big contribution to the life of the Corps of Cadets. His mind was often miles above ground, but this did not stop him from excelling in academics. Don ' s talents will carry him far and his dedication and friendship will never be forgotten.

HERGENROEDER D-2 Springfield, Virginia Lieutenant Dan had enough of the military life when he was a brat, so he came to West Point to enjoy its party atmosphere. He soon showed us that partying wasn ' t merely an activity but a philosophy and a way of life. And, he did everything including snow streaking in Vermont to summer vacationing at beautiful Eglin AFB in Florida. Arabic Club 4, 3, 2, 1; Class Com- mittee 4, 3, 2, 1: German Club 4. 3; .

A true Snuffy to the end, he could usually be found under his green girl, in the dayroom, at Grant Hall, or watching the submarine races. Academically . . . well, let ' s skip that subject as Mark has. Since he got his Trans- Am, though, it looks like there ' s no stopping him DOUGLAS EDWARD HERR A-4 Columbus, Ohio Lieutenant Ben could always be counted on to lend a helping hand. He became a regular in the library as he waged war with the Dean ' s writing courses. How- ever, he did much better with numbers due to the practice he gained counting his money. Not a man enhanced by life ' s simple pleasures, but rather by Corvettes and the finest in stereos. Rifle Team 4. 3, 2, 1; Rifle Club 4, U X 3, 2, 1; Electronics Club 4, 3, 2 yi
