As a navy junior, he was used to making rapid transitions and had no problem fitting into the brigade. Keenly interested in sports, Ron excelled as the bulwark of the company lightweight football team. He is a very easygoing fellow, but can always be counted on to do a professional job on official matters. Ron took an active interest in the Trident Society and served as its President as a First Classman. Fat Man , as his classmates affectionately called him, is certain to be successful in the fleet. A special girl and the destroyer navy await Ron's graduation. RICHARD MITCHELL BROWN, III A product of Upper Dublin High School just outside Philadelphia, Mitch headed south for the sounds of the high seas and the Severn Boat School. It didn't take long for Mitch to get the Navy situation well in hand as he was elected to the Office of Class Secretary, a position he held for four years. Mitch was always the man to see in Foreign Affairs. His untiring efforts on behalf of the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conferences demonstrated the abilities of the Philadelphia Warrior. Mitch also has devoted a great deal of time for church activities and the Russian Club. The lightweight football team, volleyball team, and sailing squadron have had Mitch as a consistent supporter. Mitch's other athletic endeavors included a great deal of track in the form of the Saturday Evening Flying Squadron. Oh, for those healthy jaunts! Whatever branch of naval service Mitch chooses, there is no doubt that he will be of valuable service in any field. MICHAEL WARREN BURKHART From the unlikely-sounding place of Junction City. Kentucky, came a full-fledged graduate of Boyle County High School to see what the ocean looked like. Unfortunately, the first thing Burk saw at Canoe U. was a Mark I, Mod III navy pad, on which he promptly staked a four-year claim. Somewhere in between the rack and liberty, Mike managed to find enough time to major in Physics, minor in Math, and write his name on the Dean's List. Rumor has it that an unscrupulous roommate cornered Burk into an Associate Editorship of Trident Magazine, to complement his activity in the Antiphonal Choir and the Concert 8and. Never one to pass up a study hour bridge game, he was always good for a witty comment or two. If present indications point to the future, many a nuclear submarine’s hull will echo with the first tenor strains of The Old Kentucky Home . JAMES SAMUEL CLARK Sam, who hails from Paris, Tennessee, entered the Academy after a year at the University of Tennessee. In high school, he was active in varsity sports, especially football, but has limited his participation at Navy to intramurals, his favorite being company fieldball. Academically, Sam has fared best in the Bull department. This, along with the fact that Sam is a true southern gentleman has made him somewhat of an authority on the Civil War. Outwardly quiet and reserved in nature, Sam still likes a good time and weekends usually find him dragging. Other interests include reading history, and sports, Sam being the first company's most avid Cardinal fan. As for the future, Sam’s still a little undecided, although he leans to destroyers in the Navy line, or the Marine Corps. Whichever he chooses. Sam’s easy-going personality, and professional interest point to a most successful career in the Naval Service. 160 THOMAS ARTHUR COMER Tom hails from the seafaring Connecticut village of Norwalk. During his years at Fairfield ’rep Tom excelled in track and cross country. With these sure footed attributes. Tom coupled a mean left jab and a right cross here at the Academy to win the title of Brigade Boxing Champion in the 135 lbs. class.

His hard working nature, was by no means limited to physical fitness. While concentrating in German, Tom pursued the Naval Academy curriculum with great vigor. Better known as the Voice , although his tune W3S sometimes eschew, his tremendous spirit was and always will be indefatigable. This spirit coincided with a strong sense of leadership that gave Tom outstanding qualifications to Aid young aspirants to become full-fledged midshipmen during plebe summer. He plans to follow a career with the rugged surface navy upon graduation. RAYMOND PAUL CONRAD Arriving directly from high school in Fresno, California, Ray began his four years at the Academy with an interesting association with the Post Office and has kept them busy ever since.

ROBERT JOSEPH GILLESKIE Bob came to USNA after graduating from Bishop Canevin High School in Pittsburgh where he wrestled, played football and was the president of his school's student body. However, despite his versatility. 8ob limited his sports activities at the academy to intramurals. contributing greatly to the success of the battalion wrestling and handball teams. A firm believer in possessing a sound mind in a sound body , 8ob could usually be found in either the library or in MacDonough Hall. His industry and efficiency kept Bob on the Dean’s list throughout his four years and enabled him to still find time for his favorite activities, reading and following the Pirates. Bob's hopes for the future include Nuclear Power school, submarine duty, and post graduate study in Physics or Engineering. 8ob’s high degree of intelligence and self-discipline makes his future look bright indeed. ROCKLIN EVERETT GMEINER, JR. The Rock was born in Menasha. Wisconsin and graduated from Menasha High School in 1963 after being voted outstanding athlete. He attended Wisconsin State University at Oshkosh for one year. A typical Wisconsonian he is known for his phrase Back the Pack! Kept off the football team due to a knee injury.

Q. set his sights on those Navy Wings of Gold and came to USNA to fulfill his goal of rocketing across the wild blue yonder. Sportswisc, Q. kept trying for a Big Blue Jersey and the opportunity to play Navy football. but a series of injuries confined him to intramural play where as an end and defensive safety as well as an aggressive forward, his real talents came to the fore. In the world of books, progress was Nails most important product as semester after semester his grades climbed with resulting stars and Sup's list. Travel plays a big part in Q's life as he roams the ski slopes in the winter and the European beaches in summer. Navy-air definitely has its hottest fighter pilots in the person of Nails Johnson. JOHN JAY LAPICOLA John J. Lapicola came East from Springfield. Illinois, the Land of Lincoln , to take his place in the brigade. He is better known to his friends as Lap or occasionally The Wop , due to his strong Italian ancestry. John fit right into the rigorous life of a Midshipman and soon excelled in all fields of endeavor. He was a leader in both academics and extra-curricular activities. Easy going, and with a smile for all Lap put his natural leadership to good use as President of the highly active Italian Club and in his four-striper position of Brigade Operations Officer. Athletically he played company soccer, basketball. lightweight football, and sailed yawls to boot. John, though motivated toward modern engineering studies still thinks about a future in law, of course. Wc wish him luck in his bright future, with his soft-spoken but quietly efficient manner, he will make an excellent officer in whichever field he chooses. ROBERT EDWIN LAWRENCE, JR. Forsaking the flatlands of Kansas for the realm of King Neptune, Bob made his way East to Canoe U. after four terrific years at Wichita East. Majoring in Applied Science, Bob attempted to take not the more difficult courses but rather the impossible ones. The result was Stars and Sup's list every semester as the long, tall Kansan slashed out. Basketball, volleyball, softball, and fieldball proved to be no match for the The Truck . Whether crashing the boards for those extra two points, stretching those long legs for the crucial play at first base, or providing the extra punch behind the fieldball team's defense, one would always know Bob was there. First class year he carried the American colors to p-radcs and football games. Bob now hopes for an Immediate Master's program with Nuclear Power and Sub Schools in the offing. The Silent Service and the West Coast are prime targets for this determined submariner. But wherever he goes or whatever he does, Truck will certainly rumble on to a successful career. DAVID MICHAEL LEE As the sun was setting on the British Empire, it was rising for Liverpool-born Dave. His family soon shed England's fog for the sunny climate of Los Angeles, where eventually Dave graduated from Loyola High School after participating on the varsity track and cross country teams. Plcbe Year was long, but Youngster Year introduced femininity and dragging. Thus emerged Dave's Date 'em all attitude. In the past three years, he has attempted to drag every gal on the Eastern Seaboard - from Brooklyn to Atlanta. Rarely is one invited to Annapolis more than once, however. Lending his voice to the Catholic Choir and much time and effort to the Brigade intramural program, destroyer-bound Dave has lived an active life here. His achievements in Skinny and Steam are not impressive but Dave sports a genuine knowledge in the field of International Relations. His logic, dedication, and interest in people makes Dave a fine classmate and a valuable friend. These qualities will assist him in attaining success in the Fleet. 162 MICHAEL ERWIN LEPPERT Lep left the hallowed halls of ivy at Cornell University and has dedicated his many fine talents to the Navy ever since. One of the best liked men in the Brigade, he was always ready and almost always able to help all classes with any academic problems, sit down for a rubber or two of bridge, or iust plain shoot the bull. His versatility carried onto the intramural scene where he starred in track, football, lacrosse, soccer, and last but not least, sailing. Rounding out Mike's list of attributes was the fine leadership he displayed at all times, culminating in his winning the coveted three stripes of a company commander. In spite of all this.

LYLE DEAN MEIER Butch began leaving his mark on the Academy when he entered from San Jose, California, four years ago. He has excelled in academics, athletics, and leadership. While tackling the research problems of a Trident Scholar, and the respom sibilities of a company commander, he was never too busy to help others in any way he could. His competitive spirits in academics and his ability to work with others carried over onto the athletic field. There, he distinguished himself in soccer, fieldball. and rugby. During his spare time it was not uncommon to find Butch playing cards, watching TV. or just relaxing with the boys . Regardless of where he goes with the Fleet. Butch promises to be an outstanding officer and a person to be admired. 163 FIRST BATTALION FIRST COMPANY THOMAS WILLIAM OLIVER. Ill Arriving directly from high school in Fernan-dina Beach, Florida, Ollee , as he is known to his friends, immediately began to leave his mark on the Academy.

Regardless of what branch of the service he enters, Ollie promises to be an outstanding officer. ARNOLD JAY SISK Thoughts of submarines and the Silent Service proved to be too much competition for the somewhat leisure pace of Southern California schooling and so armed with a determination and a fighting spirit Arnie headed East for the muddy banks of the Severn, directly from Verdugo Hills High School in Tutunga, California. In meeting the challenge of the slip stick and integral, Arnie set an academic pace that few individuals could equal. All four years saw the Californian's name on both the Supt's and Dean's List. Crowning all his work was Arnie's selection as a Trident Scholar. Filled with a seemingly endless energy and an aggressiveness unmatched by his classmates, Arnie proved to be a bulwark of the Battalion handball and crew teams. On the handball court, the steady, consistent play of the Northridge Kid proved to be too much for many opponents. Now it's off to Nuclear Power School, and eventually the deep blue for Arnie. The West Coast still looks good to him, but wherever he goes and no matter what he does, success seems sure to follow. MICHAEL GLENN MULLEN Mullo came to the Naval Academy directly from Notre Dame High School and the high social life that is claimed by all California boys. After adjusting to the East coast and his new social position, Mullo became a dedicated and dependable Midshipman. Any situation always found him doing his best whether it was academics, sports, or just having fun. As an athlete he was way above average; playing plebe basketball, company soccer and fieldball, battalion lacrosse, and always getting that impossible A in running and swimming. Always ready with a quick smile and amazing wit, Mullo gained many friends. T. M., one of his favorites, will never be forgotten. Along with his congeniality, Mullo displayed fine leadership qualities. With his well rounded personality, his enthusiasm, and his desire to do his best, Navy-Air is indeed getting an outstanding officer. KEVIN JOHN REARDON From the sheltered atmosphero of conservative New England to the wild mahem of Bancroft Hall, came a shining young charger who was ready and eager to contribute his share of madness. Though K. J. was a Trident scholar, a coxwain on the crew team, editor of Trident magazine, and a perennial member of the Dean's list, he cut down on wasted time by calling upon his roommate to finish his sentences. As a plebe spreading Ajax on firsties' decks and as an upperclassman driving professors stark raving mad, he was always ready for a good time, a fact which his escapades on liberty will easily bear out. Aside from eating fine food, Kevin's big thrills came from running into plcbcs a foot taller than he and from frustrating his bridge partners with his bidding. Whether it's graduate school or nuclear power for K. J., some branch of the Navy will be extremely lucky to have in its ranks the little man with the big voice. 164 JOHN DEMETRIUS VELLIS. II From the sunny shores of Makapu on the island paradise of Oahu comes Jack. Like all Navy juniors. Jack has lived in many places. Although born in Long Beach, California.

Protestant Choir, and act as a Chapel Flag bearer. Following in the footsteps of his father. Jack plans a career in Navy line. His dedication to duty and affable personality will make Jack a valuable asset to the Fleet. HENRY FRANCIS WHITE. JR. After graduating from Fordham Prep and attending Manhattan College for a year, the Bronx Bomber gave up the college scene for the good of the Service. Shaking off a far from dull plebe year and equally interesting year in the Animal Farm . Henry finally settled down and went to work. Always a buff for sports Hank contributed his best efforts to the company basketball, volleyball and heavyweight football teams with special interest given to Battalion rugby. Hank's activities in other realms were also noteworthy. As Company Honor Rep. he worked long and hard to help with the Brigade Honor Concept. Hank was never one to turn his back on the social world. Especially notable has been Hank's work in promoting Belgian-American relations. First Company winning the Color Competition our second class year meant Color Guard Duty for Hank as a firstie. Following graduation, a West Coast destroyer will be getting Henry's services. With his drive and capabilities, he is sure to go far. RANDALL EDWARD WYATT Randy joined the Brigade immediately after graduation from high school in Gainsville. Florida. The high spirit that has always been exemplary of Southerners never ceased to remain a part of his dynamic personality. He carried his athletic feats in high school into the brigade's intramural program. Always an outstanding com-petitor. he shone on the athletic field in soccer, fieldball. and lacrosse, all of which he had never played before. Academics never gave Randy a hard time, save two or three Chemistry courses. His leadership qualities were never less than admirable.

Not a Yankee by any shape or form, he calls Ashland, Kentucky his abode. His plcbc year, chow packages were educational experiences in southern delites. Well known for his ability to get a job done, he was the best organizer in the brigade and his classmates will remember the times Dave helped organize the company parties. His loss to Varsity swimming was Battalion water polo's gain as he became one of the outstanding water polo players at Navy and led his Battalion to the Brigade Championship. Dave always would lend an ear to others problems and his sincerity was genuine. He brightened many a dull day by his unique interpretations of the pitfalls Navy presented to him. With his wit and ability to get the job done coupled with his sincerity Dave should have the ammunition to meet the challenges of the future and become a fine officer. JAMES MICHAEL BROWN Jim, who came to us from the Best location in the Nation , Cleveland, Ohio, was known by many as 8rownie. In high school he divided his time between study hall, food, and football. After a rigorous Plebe year. Jim woke up and settled down to life on the Severn. Each fall found him out behind the green fence as one of Navy's defensive tacklers on the Big Blue Team. The rest of the year he spent in taking out his inhibitions on the fieldball players of Hospital Point. No one will ever forget his famous appetite, just as he wouldn't let anyone forget about his interest in his pen pal from Cleveland. Never one to indulge in study, Jim was always the first to participate in any sort of hell raising. He was always the life of the party although losing more roommates than Lucretia Borgia to the world beyond the grey walls. Anyone with the winning personality and friendly nature of our man in Ohio is bound to be a success in anything he may choose to do after graduation. MICHAEL LOYD COATS Mike came to Annapolis from the thriving metropolis of Amarillo, Texas. The son of an outstanding Air Force officer, he originally hailed from Southern California where he developed a taste for plenty of sunshine and an eye for pretty girls. Mike quickly established himself as a scholar, becoming a permanent member of the Superintendent's List and wearing stars since the second semester of youngster year. Following a season of plebe squash, Mike began playing company sports. His contributions have been invaluable to the success of the soccer team, the heavies, and the softball team. Mike supplements these activities with an occasional game of bowling or of bridge. A tough competitor on and off the field, Mike works exceedingly hard to accomplish his high goals. His perseverance, pride, and ability stand him head and shoulders above his classmates. He has the necessary quality of being able to work and get along with people. His success as a member of the brigade is sure to be a preview of the success he will enjoy after graduation as a Naval Aviator. RICHARD JOHN DANNA Dick, the Brooklyn Bomber , is usually seen on his annual leaves playing the soul king of Long Island. He has always been a New York boy except for his high school years spent in Hershey, Pa., where he put on most of the weight he has been trying to loose at the Academy. During plcbc year his parents moved back to Brooklyn. From there Dick has taken over the discotheques of the city. He has always taken his Applied Science Major seriously, but he never let it interfere with his Saturday nights scrambling at the Pendulum. Dick was on the plebe football and wrestling teams, but a shoulder operation put an end to his varsity days. People wonder about his study habits but he says that the strobe lights over his desk help him concentrate. Navy Line is the only way to go and our Nitty Gritty Man should have his DESDIV soon under control. 168 THOMAS FRANCIS DONLON, JR. Having spent the first seventeen years of his life as a Navy Junior, Tom made his decision to come to the Naval Academy after graduation from Oxuard Union High School, California. As a first year man he demonstrated his athletic prowess by setting several Plebe swimming records. He must have had gills because he was always to be found moving the water around in the swimming pool during every sports season. If he wasn't doing a self style sprint, he was drowning some poor opponent in a water polo game. Of course, if you ever needed a date for the weekend Tom was the man to see. First Class year, he could always be found with a cup of coffee and a pipe in the wardroom. He even had the T.V. schedule memorized. Post-graduate plans for Tom include a tight fit into a Phantom II. ROBERT ARTHUR EAVES. JR. Bob, the Boston Bopper and the favorite son of Chelsen, Mass. made the right decision when he chose Navy for his campus days. He was active in intramural soccer, lightweight football, and rugby, the man's sport , where his shifty moves made him one of the best. Bob was very versatile and could also use his speed to outsprint the senile jimmylegs. A regular member of the Pendulum, he was always ready for a party or a jam. He always dated pretty girls. Being one of the youngest members of our class never slowed him down. In addition to being well liked by all. Bob was a studious Math major, who's soft shoe routine always added grins to a party and mixed well with the punch. Navy Air (fighter pilot, of course.) figures into the future and Bob will soon be one of our top jet jockeys. RALPH JOSEPH GEMELLI Ralph, left hordes of girls at Queen College, to don his Navy blues. He is made of a mixture of the rarest of all combinations HEART AND HUMOR. In his four years as a midshipman, Ralph has done as much for his class as anyone could possibly do. His fullhearted dedication to '68 and the Academy mark him as a true leader. Besides helping to design our class crest, painting several Log covers, serving on the Lucky Bag staff, and being Vice President of the Newman Club, he was always the life of the party. He possessed an uncanny ability to turn daily occurences into hilarious stories. In addition. Ralph managed to find the time to be a valuable contributor to the 8attalion tennis, squash and company basketball teams. Ralph's special talent is his ability to make people laugh, coupled with his unselfish desire to help out in every situation, have made him one of the most popular guys at USNA. Ralph has three secret loves; a special Italian family in New York, Italian food, and beautiful Italian girls. With all the desire, dedi cation and ability that is his, Ralph has alread got a head start on the road to success. MICHAEL HENRY FLETCHER A native of Fryburg, Pa. in the heart of the soft coal country, Fletch arrived fresh from high school at the portals of U.S.N.A. After surviving plebe year, he has found that, as his firstie foretold, Annapolis has become home to him. Since plebe summer, Fletch, has been a thorn among the tenors of the Catholic Choir. He enjoys playing company football and softball. His naval career thus far has been very colorful, he's stood in the ranks of two color companies and one near miss. A physics major and amateur inventor (of all kinds of junk) he has found that things tend to be. in general, more faithfu than people. 169 FIRST BATTALION SECOND COMPANY MICHAEL WILLIAM HAGEE Mike, after seeing the light, transferred from the University of Texas to finish out his campus days at Navy. Being from Texas added to many a heated argument over the merits of Southwest Conference Football, but this only lasted through Plebe year. His awareness of the world abated his dedication to Texas politics and made him a frequent visitor to the Pendalum, always in the company of an alluring female. But Mike's stay at Navy was not all play. He managed to complete an Electrical Engineering Major as well as a German Minor while excelling on the Navy track team as their number one discus thrower. What these qualities will gain him in the Marine Corps is still to be seen. The Corps will certainly benefit in getting a fine officer. With his dedication to the military and his excellent leadership abilities he will certainly excel in whatever he undertakes. DONALD ROSS HAY Don came to the Academy after a successful high school career in the center of the East Texas oil district. His deep Texas accent won Hay Boy instant recognition. A fine athlete and tremendous competitor as a varsity golfer. Don was consistently a leader, especially in company lightweight football. In addition to this. Don was the most musically oriented midshipman at the Academy participating in the D. B. Chapel Choir, and Glee Club of which he was President. With all this activity, he still managed to maintain a good class standing. After graduation, Don will trade his Golden Throat for the Golden Wings of Navy Air. JOHN JOSEPH HOLLY Jack emerged from glass-making Corning, New York and participated in football and good times at 8ullis Prep. At USN A he took up fencing and proved his ability by being chosen captain of the team. While being an indispensable member of the Foreign Relations Club and Trident Society. Jack's interests also ranged over almost any other activity imaginable, from playing the Stock Market to preparing a banquet in his room. Jack has always appreciated the finer things in life and could frequently be observed listening to classical music, watching his Sony, buying expensive threads, and dating beautiful women. Further evidence of his desire for the best m life is his affinity for the Corps. His subtle wit, his conversational ability, his shrewdness, and his knowledge of all of the ins and outs of the business world should bring him success at every turn. ERIC HAY KIRKPATRICK Eric, more commonly known as Kirk, the Bear, or what you will, has been a constant source of amazement to his classmates at the Academy. His ability to get absolutely anything at anytime for anyone is surpassed only by his willingness to help a friend. The scrounger , another nickname, has so many connections in the Annapolis area that we predict he will make his first million within the next three weeks. Kirk, whose home is in Riegelsville. Pennsylvania, spent a year at Columbian Prep before coming to Canoe U. He played Plebe football, but was forced to retire due to a recurring shoulder injury. During the past four years, his constant enemies have been the Academic Board and his waistline. A charter member of the Pendulum, Kirk is always ready for a good time and can be counted upon for a unique angle on any undertaking. Upon graduation. Kirk would like to fly. Regardless of his endeavors, we are sure of his success. 170 CHARLES ALEXANDER KRUPNICK Krups as most people knew him came to Navy from Johnson City, New York, where he attended Broom Tech Junior College for one year. He was well known for burning the midnight oil which not only brought him good grades, but a major in Math along with a minor in French. Charlie's French won him one of the rougher first class cruises, as he had to spend his summer touring Europe on the Belgium Foreign Exchange Cruise. Krups didn't let his hard work stop with the books. He was undefeated in company cross country, played batt tennis, and was known as the Bob Hayes of the lightweight company football team because of his long pass plays. Charlie's high standards and pride in his work should continue to hold him at the top of our class no matter what his service selection. JOHN JOSEPH MACKIN John, known to his friends as J.J. came to the Academy directly from high school in New Hyde Park, New York. He quickly overcame his slight speech defect, a deep Long Island accent, and adjusted to life on the Severn. John proved himself an outstanding Mid both academically and at the conn of a Y.P.; for while obtaining a major in Physics he was able to earn the honor of a Y.P, command. J. J. was also the terror of the intramural football field, when he wasn't com-manding one of those little boats. John, treasurer of Navy's chapter of Sigma Sigma, the Physics society, was a party man of the first order Who could forget his June Week parties or famous fruit punch. A truly good friend. J. J. is guaranteed success in his future Naval Career. JOHN FRANCIS MCGUIRE. JR. Mick McGuire, probably the best known New Yorker in the Brigade, had his finger in everything while here, from wild parties to card games and businesses. If you ever wanted to see him on a Saturday night just look up on the roof connecting ward and mother B about five minutes after liberty expired. Mick was a great athlete playing plebe football, varsity lacrosse. He also led his company fieldball team to two Brigade Championships and is currently undefeated in the jimmy-!eg races. Studies weren't his trademark but his pep rallies left us all laughing. Navy Air will never be the same with Mick in its midst. JOHN CAMERON MCKAY John, the retiring president of the blue trampoline squadron, came to the Academy from the Marine Corps via NAPS. Although Mac was not known for his academic ability, he did manage to keep a couple of steps ahead of the skinny department and his pen kept him out of real trouble Among his various activities, he was the head hooter of the Pendclum , and owner of the Green Tank which could be seen on any weekend heading for the local refreshment stand . In the area of food, wine, liquor and where to get Copenhagen Snuff there, were few who could match him. Although not a San Francisco hippy he has taken many a trip, accompanied each time by a pretty stewardess. If the Corps is able to keep him in chow they will be obtaining a fine military officer and true gentleman. 171 FIRST BATTALION SECOND COMPANY JOHN HENRY MCROSKEY John, no one really can sum op your four years here In a short paragraph. Anyone could tell of your admirable record. That would be easy. But your record here isn't the thing that will make Annapolis the memory it will one day be. The memories and experiences of times gone by will do that. How can anyone relate a thousand experiences in such a little space? How can anyone say anything about the turtle your girl sent you plebe summer.... the one you kept in the sink? or about the time you woke up all the firsties during the 3 A.M. fire drill? How about your plebe summer softball games, or the knock-down drag-out brawls with the Apple Pan Dowdy? Anyone could fill pages about your pre P-Work hysterics, about your dancing ability that only the mirror on the wall really knew, about some of your June Week drags and about your famous you've got to be organized lectures. John, no one has the space to describe all the little things that have made your four years here such a memorable experience. LELAND THOMPSON MOORE Lee came to USNA after graduating from a military high school at the top of his class. Continuing along this line he has maintained a star average here at the Academy. Interested in the German lan age by previous study and a trip to Deutschland, Lee decided to make it his major and has taken every course in that department. Along the sports line, he was at the top of the golf lineup on the plebe team and played at the varsity level during the spring and the fall sets of his three upperclass years. If not on the golf course during the weekend, he can usually be found dragging good-looking girls from varied and distant states. With Lee's desire and determination to do the best possible job in any phase of life, he will be a valuable asset to our country's Navy, be it air or line. JOHN NICHOLAS MORTSAKIS John came to the Naval Academy via New Mexico Military Institute, where he starred in football. Mort, alias the Greek , came through plebe year relatively unscarred and through constant diligence has succeeded in keeping out of the way of the Executive Department. Mort's most outstanding contribution to the Naval Academy was his one man culture program, Every day the music of the Trio Belcanto can be heard resounding through the halls of the first wing. Mort lent his athletic prowess to the Naval Academy as an outstanding fullback for the plebe football team. Since then he has been active in company sports. His talents in soccer and fieldball were well appreciated. Due to the great cooking of his fiance. Dora, Mort holds the record for the most weight put on during Christmas leave. Right now Mort is undecided between Navy Air and submarines. Whatever his choice may be. I'm sure he will continue to be a credit to the Navy. CURTIS WILLIAM MURRAY, JR. The Chief brought with him from Midland a sour harmonica, three Johnny Cash albums, and a desire to play football. This won for him a starting birth on the 150 pound football team. On Saturday nights he was a hooter man at the Pendulem but usually his quick returns to make curfew caused his date a trip to the carwash the next morning from whence his nickname arouse. Although he was always ready to step it up in his unruly first and second Corvette, Bill used to carry his pad with him to class along with two or three cigars which he liked to chew not smoke. While pursuing an Aeronautical Engineering Major, Bill was always ready to give advice and listen sincerely to the problems of classmates at any time of the night. His tremendous desire to go Navy Air, which has followed him for four years, should steer him to a jet squadron soon. 172 RICHARD JEROME NIBE An avid sports fan. Rich was a standout soccer and rugby player for the first Battalion. Nibs is one of the most personal and diligent midshipmen at the Academy whose late midnight oils never slowed him down when his date was waiting to pick him up on the weekends. Having lived in Tripoli, he picked a few Arabic phrases even the Arabs didn't know how to translate. Undecided as to how to wear his hair, Oick is often hard to recognize when returning from Christmas Leave. He is an Aeronautical Engi neering Major who sets his immediate goals as post graduate school and Navy Air. His outstanding leadership ability should soon lead him to a jet squadron. WILLIAM MERRILL PALMER, JR. Bill came to the Naval Academy after a year at Georgia Tech. This, in addition to his four year curriculum at Baltimore's Polytechnic High School, helped prepare him both for the academic world, where he naturally pursued his interest in Engineering, and for the rigors of a challenging plcbc year. His dedication to sports, both as a fan and a participant, became evident immediately. A competitor in every sense of the word, he played company football and battalion lacrosse with infectious enthusiasm. Navy’s varsity teams never had a more enthusiastic supporter, as anyone who did not share Bill's excitement, was quick to learn. Easy to get along with, yet firm in his convictions. Bill has made many enduring friendships while at the Academy. His fervent interest in all phases of the Academy training should ensure success in his Naval career. GEORGE MALCOLM PEASE George, called by those who knew him best as Hey you came to the Academy from the quiet New England town of Natich. Mass., where he quarterbacked for his high school team. Here at the Academy he also quarterbacked company lightweights for two years before moving up to secure a slot on Coach Cloud's Mightly Mights”. George may have liked to sleep, but at least he didn't study much. A fun-loving person, he was always quick to greet others with a smile. With the coming of first class year he acquired a new dimension in academic interference: color T.V. George, famous for his quick wit and meaningless conversations, was never one to miss a good time. Any person with such a jovial personality will not have to worry about his inevitable success going to his head. WILLIAM POPE ROBERTS Coming to the Academy after a year at Penn State. Bill who hails from Little Rock, Ark. was known to his friends as the great quiet one. Hey Oral became a familiar call for many of us who needed help with our homework, yet. each time we called we still found the same hard working good natured guy ready to help. A true believer in sleep teaching, he could usually be found in the pad. An outstanding desire to win coupled with a fine natural ability made Bill one of the better company athletes. Bill had an uncanny ability to win the slots in Crabtown and could always be counted on for a dollars change. Although usually reserved in manner, parties were Bill's element, and his summer cruises were used to full advantage. The most singular qualities which Bill holds are his quiet dedication and seriousness of purpose. No man can possess two more rewarding attributes. 173 FIRST BATTALION SECOND COMPANY RICHARD RHODES SANCHEZ Atter having spent two years in the Naval Reserve and one year at Wagner College, Dick Sanchez reported to Annapolis. After several encounters with both the academic and aptitude boards, Dick finally pulled it out. Grades and grease ceased to be a problem for Dick after Plebe year. From this point on Dick's future seemed to be pretty well determined . . . Flight School, and then Navy Air. Dick was a standout at the Academy not because of wfiat he did, but because of what he was. He was a happy, cheerful fun-loving guy, who would do anything for a friend. He excelled in the traits of sincerity, generosity, patience and understanding. Dick loved to smoke, drink coffee, dance, wrestle, and dream about his future fortunes... He has a hard act to follow, for his dad is A Rear Admiral. However, with his personality and his capability to get the job done, Dick should have no problems in becoming an outstanding leader and a fine Naval Officer. CRAIG EUGENE STEIDLE Craig, who came to the Naval Academy after a one year stay at Ohio State as a ROTC, hails from Huntington, Long Island. Although recruited for gymnastics by the long arm of the NAAA, Craig has proven himself academically as well; attaining Superintendent's List status every semester and completing an Aerospace Engineering Major. His gymnastic prowess is unquestionable as he was elected captain of the gymnastics team and also managed to fall off the high bar at least once a season. One of the more frequent weekend visitors to the Battalion Office during youngster year Craig has mended his ways and stopped getting caught. He has now shifted his focus of interest toward the more worthwhile pursuits of girls liberty, his gym team, and graduation. A dedicated Naval Aviator-to-be Craig spent his first class cruise in Viet Nam seeing action on Yankee Station. He wants to be an astronaut, and we all wish him well in his soaring aspirations. JAMES DAVID VON SUSKIN Von, affectionately known to everyone thoughout Bancroft hall as the computer , found himself prepared to enter the Ivy League as a student of the University of Pennsylvania upon graduation from high school. However, due to a quick change of mind, the Naval Academy found itself with one of the most squared away plebcs in history. Although Jimmy was one of the youngest men to enter the academy, he wasted little time contemplating this handicap and soon emerged as one of the top, academically, in his class. Despite the fact that the majority of his time was taken up by either 150 lb. football, handball, backing his company fieldball team to a brigade championship or riding up and down the hall on his skate board, Jimmy's name could always be found on the Dean's list. His big smile, warm heart, and never ending desire to help his friends, has made Jim one of the most popular and well-liked mids within Mother B. His keen wit and outstanding sense of humor proved too strong to be dampened. All our best wishes go on with Jim to Nuclear Power school and the submarine service. MELVILLE JOSEPH WALTERS, III Mel entered the Naval Academy after graduating from Highland High School and attending the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque for one year in the NROTC Program. Plebe year saw him compile a fine pitching record on the plebe baseball team, but academics forced an early retirement from the diamond. After a very rough year academically as a plebe, Mel went on to honors on the Superintendent's List every semester thereafter. The extra long Supt's List weekends of first class year did little to help him get away from Mother B as his dad had recently been transferred to the Naval Academy. A long planned Navy career will begin soon after his graduation and introduction to the fleet. 174 1 St CLASSMEN 175 176 1st SET CDR: J.D. Robinson; SUB-CDR: F.J. Derby. Jr.; C.P.O.: R.F. Taylor.

He participated on the plebe pistol and baseball teams, but finally saw the light and became an intramural supporter. During second class year Red had a brief encounter with a girl-type North Carolinian, but decided to drop her. baggage and all. in favor of a Corvette. Red. a Mechanical Engineering major, followed up his interest in cars by taking an active role in the class car committee. After four wet years of distinguished service above and below the water, he earned the dubious title of COMSUBSQUAD. Red's present goal is to obtain an immediate masters in Mechanical Engineering and ultimately to be a Naval Aviator. With his easy going manner and determination. Red should attain his goals and more. ALLAN BISCHOF CHALOUPKA Al literally swam to Mother B from the lofty pool of Greeley. Colorado, where he was co-captain of the swim team. Plebe year he continued his aquatics interests on the plebe swimming team. But after a mediocre academic year. Al traded in his gills for the books. He definitely did not act like a fish out of water and since then has rivaled the heavens with his own personal collection of academic stars. Al follows his father into the Navy, who served during World War II. His main interests and pastimes arc stereos, hi-fi's, associated tapes and a certain monstrous ball of string. Al’s hopes include the immediate masters program, subs, and air in that order. He is a hard and diligent worker and will be an asset to whatever branch he chooses. DAVID KERANS DENSON With a trunk full of crew shirts and two plebe years under his belt, Dave leaves the Naval Academy for the gold wings of Marine Air and the gold band of marriage. His tuneful guitar and melodious voice ruined many a study hour but Dave probably had more friends than could be counted. His ready wit sometimes cut deep but no one could stay angry with him for long. His southern charm and good looks made him very popular with the ladies. But his heart seems to have been won by a petite lass from his hometown of Roanoke. Va. After long hours of practice and hard work, Dave became a mainstay on the Navy crew and was a member of the ’67 National Champions. Most weekends found Dave at Hubbard Hall during the Spring or at Ma Hoge’s drag house. Although his grades were good, it was obvious that Dave was not given to excessive study and his room was the scene of many late hour bull sessions and song fests. FEDERICO JOSE DERBY, JR. Five thousand kilometers and the Atlantic Ocean have separated Fred from his hometown of San Jose, Costa Rica. Possessing a tenacious spirit, he survived the hazardous transition from University of Costa Rica playboy to USNA plebe. Plebe year proved no problem to Fred who had a ready answer for any question: Repita, por favor, senor? Though a valuable asset to the varsity soccer team in his underclass years. Fred sank more than he swam in the deep blue of McDonough pool. Following his heritage. Derbs has been a conscientious member of the foreign affairs and Spanish Clubs. Although everyone knows that a midshipman's life follows the pendulum of perpetual motion, our warmhearted foreigner found time to be a Big Brother to an Annapolis boy less fortunate than most. One of the elite group having no commitment to serve under Uncle Sam upon graduation, the Spic , as he is good-naturedly called by his friends, prefers civilian line and will sing his alma mater when asked: Viva el vino, viva el dincro, viva viva el amour! 178 HOWARD KEITH HAINES. II From the land ol Brigham Young, the city of Tooele (which isn't pronounced the way it looks) and Utah State University the Academy received one of the masts for its ship of '68. Ridden by injury, he didn't go out for football here until his second class year and when he did, he made the team. In the meantime, Keith was the immovable man mountain of our company basketball teams, writer for the Trident and Log magazines and Vice President of the Foreign Relations Club. With an acute sense of right and wrong and incomparable spirit and loyalty, Keith had pushed through and overcome every obstacle placed in his path. Graduation will not mark the end of anything for Keith but the beginning of more new and diverse activities. RICHARD DAVID HAMMER Dave came to the Academy from the prairies of Illinois in search of a dream. The dream died when Dave discovered how easily he got seasick, thus Marine Corps air gains while Navy line loses. The quest of an engineering major kept Dave hard at work and many long and sometimes frustrating hours were spent with a broken slipstick and tear-stained steam tables. After class Dave could always be seen over at the Varsity Gymnastics Loft, working on the rings and flexing. Weekends found this always cheerful chap sipping cokes at Read's Drug Store or studying in his room. Always sincere. Dave will leave many a saddened heart behind him when he leaves in June. PETER EUGENE HAMRE Pete came to the Academy from the wilds of North Dakota. Having led a sedate spartan life it only took a few days for the Baron to find out what was happening in the big city. It didn't take him long to exhibit his appetite for the traditions of the Academy. During Plcbe summer he never lost a shake for seconds and this appetite has also spread to the academic field, where he has literally eaten up the Academy's academic program. Pete earned stars his first semester and has retained them all four years. Pete was a valuable asset to his classmates, if he wasn't studying in the library he could be found helping someone through a tight spot. Pete's athletic endeavors included plebe wrestling, varsity 150 lb. football, and rugby. During his spare time Pete participated in the FRC. SCUBA Club, and parachuting, earning his gold jump wings in 1965. Always known as extremely resourceful, tactful, and thoughtful, Pete will be a valuable asset whatever area he decides to concentrate his talents. ROBERT GEORGE HOLIHAN, JR. Bob. sometimes affectionately known as Mad Dog , came direct from Brooklyn Tech to the Big Blue Playpen. His rather unusual person-ality and study habits soon left their marks on the old 4th Batt E.D. Form No. 1 and academics, respectively. Plcbe year this wry sense of humor coupled with his Bronx speech impediment gamed him many admirers from the South and Mid West. Upon their graduation. Bob did not perspire as much in the evening before chow. The last few years. Hols has indulged in company sports and the pad. 8ut due to a timely accident on the soccer field during second class year. Bob got to know Dr. Evins rather well and has accepted the important position of COM EX SQUAD. No more sweaty Mondays and Wednesdays for this young man, The kid” had planned to go Navy air but since his discovery of the Tube his eyes haven't been the same. Instead, he changed his plans and became the T.V. scheduling officer for the company. Bob's warm Irish sense of humor and unusual outlook on life should insure a successful career in any branch of the Navy. 179 FIRST BATTALION THIRD COMPANY MICHAEL ALEX KALASHIAN One of the most popular Armenian transplants ever to find his way into Mother 8 is Mike Kalashian, affectionately known to his peers as Kakie . Actually Mike left a rather carefree life of leisure in Las Vegas. Nevada and found a new and challenging life upon enlisting in the Marine Corps. Quickly adapting to the military ways Mike met with success in all his endeavors and was selected for the Naval Academy Preparatory School and entered USNA with 32 months of Marine training to his credit. Plebe year gave Mike an early opportunity to display his finest qualities and his classmates quickly began to admire and rely upon his judgment and leadership. He wasted no time in channeling his talent and abilities into the academic field and soon attained a permanent set of stars. He has been very active in the sports program and has taken a keen interest in FRC and the Brigade Hop Committee. Returning to the Corps upon graduation Mike intends to make a career in the Marine Air and will surely be a valuable asset to the service. JOSEPH CHARLES NOLTER A refugee from the depths of the Pennsylvania coal mines, Joe wandered in after stopping for a year at Bullis. where he got his first taste of academic excellence. Joe traded his football pads for a slide rule during plebe year and has been a permanent member of the Dean's List, surviving several determined onslaughts by the Dago and Bull departments. When not sloshing around Farragut Field in his rubber suit. Joe could usually be found immersed in his intensive study for the reason why? Outstanding performance on the beaches of Little Creek earned him his deserved title of the Rock. Joe's search for a career choice led him to the Scuba club and Jungle Warfare school, where his drive for excellence stood him in good stead and earned for him the reputation of a cool leader. If Joe learns to keep his corner clean, he will be a welcome addition to any wardroom. DARRELL RUSSELL POWELL Darrell, who hails from Miami, Florida, came to the Academy by way of Bullis Prep. The only serious problem that he found with plebe year was his inability to find a suitable nickname, but his 5 ft. 5 in. frame contributed to his most permanent one Honeybun . He sailed along finding little difficulty in conquering anything he tried except for frequent encounters with swimming until a 5 ft. 2 in. bolt of lightning nailed him during Youngster year. Darrell, the biggest little man in the Brigade, distinguished himself in the classroom by consistently maintaining his 3.0 average as an Applied Science major. Extra curricular activities provided him with another outlet for his talents since he was active in the Class Car Committee, Sigma Pi Sigma, and Circulation Manager for the Trident. His athletic abilities were devoted to company sports where he was renown for his fierce competitiveness. Darrell's determination and personality will ensure him of success in his present goal. Nuclear Power. JOE DAVID ROBINSON Transferring from New Mexico Military Institute, Dave decided to try the spartan atmosphere of USNA, the man's school. Hailing from Oklahoma, he possesses a mania for Johnny Cash and hoedown ballads, and can make the proud and arresting claim of having the finest stomping boots around. A serious and dedicated third classman, Oke studied and played hard — impressing his classmates with his conscientious and persevering character. Segundo year found Robbie trying to reform the mess hall stewards who did not measure up to his high ideals. As a firstie, he is looking forward to graduation — both from the Academy and his engagement. Never having much trouble with studies, he has maintained good grades and secured a position for himself on that well known list promulgated by the Superintendent, while being an active member of the Honor Board. He also has the dubious honor of being the only guy that can cram a whole apple into his mouth. With Da e's intellect and leadership qualities, he will be one of the finest officers in whatever branch on which he bestows his ability. 180 FLOYD TAMERLANE SAMMS. JR. Floyd graduated from Samuel F. B. Morse High School in San Diego before coming to Navy. Plebe summer held special meaning for Floyd when he met two personable squad leaders: a little Italian and an ex-Marine. He learned to die bravely and it was not uncommon to hear: Samms! Sir?! Die come screaming down the halls. His academic prowess has been adequate enough to gunie him towards minors in both Weapons and Math. He has always been ready to aid a company sports squad whether it be cross country, football, soccer, or the pistol teams. F. T. a Navy junior, has already blurted a famous naval saying; If you're ever in Norfolk ... The Navy will welcome Floyd for his motivation, and sincerity and willingness to work. MICHAEL JAMES SHOWERS Mike came to the Naval Academy from the small Catskill resort town of Tannerwille, New York, where he graduated number one in a high school class of only slightly greater numbers. While there he played and starred in each of the school's major sports. In an effort to realize an early interest in submarines. Mike pursued one of the Academy's toughest majors Applied Science. As a measure of semi necessity he added a minor in the field of Mathematics. For his efforts he achieved mem-bership in the selective Sigma Pi Sigma National Physics Honor Society. He hopes that such a background will someday be rewarded with the keys to a nuclear-powered submarine. A keen competitor. Mike helped lead successful company soccer teams and some not so successful heavyweight football teams. For the moment his real love is the snow skiing made impossible by the flat, soggy terrain of the Chesapeake Bay. In view of his all-around abilities. Mike is expected to be a successful and respected member of the underwater fleet. DONALD CLINTON SNYDER. II Duff came to the Severn from Coronado High School. Coronado, Calif. Failing to let Plebe year and a certain Marine CPO alter his everpresent smile and kind work, Don settled down to four good years with the academic departments. Don's only contest in contending for his Naval Architecture minor was a battle with the Steam department over Thermo which he barely won. Although being an athletic hypochondriac put all his athletic ability to work for the company guarding the soccer goal, playing end for the heavies and shortstop for the softball team. Whether Don follows his father in the CEC or finds his way to a destroyer, his true dedication to the service will make him welcomed by the Navy. JAMES MICHAEL STEUSSY Straight from New 8rannfels. Texas. Mike came to the Academy with a great knowledge of the Navy, in all probability knowing more about Naval History than the upperclass who were asking the questions. Mike put that knowledge to good use. too. from testing plebes Second Class Year to heading the Plebe Professional Indoctrination program First Class Year Mike won acclaim for his artistic ability, too. from drawing posters Plebe Year, to originating his famous Bananaman cartoons in the Log Third Class Year, to Log Art and Humor Editor First Class Year Mike is a dedicated leader whose knowledge and ability should take him far in the Navy. 181 FIRST BATTALION THIRD COMPANY a JAMES ALFRED STINSON Attend to the details and the rest shall attend to itself could be the motto of James A. Stinson. A Massachusetts Yankee of English and Orange-1 rish ancestry he hails from Stoneham where he graduated from Stoneham High School in 1964. Arriving in the strange new world of the Naval Academy it presented many problems, but few that a careful scholar with Irish stubbornness and yankee ingenuity couldn't overcome. The Drum and Bugle Corps claimed his allegiance and many fall afternoons were spent working out the next half time show. Concert band also benefited from his ability on the bass and led to a lasting interest at Hood College. Jim played company softball and was a mainstay of company field ball teams. Academics received long hours of concentrated attention but were never a large problem. Majoring in Linear Systems analysis and minoring in Electrical Engineering resulted in frequent communions with the computers in the stronghold of ambiguity. Devotion to duty, a friendly manner, and solid engineering ability will win Jim welcome anywhere in the fleet. RICHARD FORD TAYLOR Twiggy Taylor came to the Academy in the fall of '63 and, after a long and hard plebe year and youngster cruise, discovered upon returning to his beloved Bancroft, that he had been turned back. Returning to Fourth Class Year did not particularly enthuse Dick, but he did manage to help out a few of his new classmates over some familiar pitfalls. Dick became a renowned pad rat but, finding Fourth Class academics easier the second time around, he managed to work out a 3.24 QPR upon which he has been riding ever since. Dick's knowledge and hobbies were many and varied, including lacrosse, aircraft, electronics, photography, and cars. His ability to put anyone down goes unchallenged, and he has made a great many friends. He is an extremely capable leader with the unusual ability of evaluating people with great accuracy. All these qualities, plus his courage in standing up for what he believes in, should make him a fine Naval Officer, hopefully in aviation. LARRY WINTON STINE Larry came to USNA from the wilds of Pine River, Minnesota via the University of Minnesota, bringing with him many and varied talents and win Twins spirit. He and plebe year weren't the best of friends but his drive and sense of humor got him through various assorted come-arounds and studies. He also rowed plebe crew and played baritone in the Concert Band. A student of the arts of Mechanical Engineering, our man about Melville can often be found grinding out the impossibilities of Bernoulli and Entropy. Larry is a true friend and a hard worker. We have been lucky to meet him and will be happy to serve with him. ORVAL LESTER SWEENEY Orv! Big 0 - the Val of DeForest High School ( in the great state of Wisconsin) arrived at USNA June '64. Since then a need for an academic slash was never reappeared. Orv was able to shoot for the 3.8 4.0 area, without excessive study. Alas, with this free time he became quite a tutor and a talker. Roaming 0 could be found in any room but his own for the 2400 taps inspection. His patience with the Rooster's many academic questions is equaled only by Twigg's patience for Orv's true genius at mechanical know how. Orv enjoys golf, basketball, the Green Bay Packers, track and of course, the manly art of boxing. Orv has now turned his efforts to wine, women, and music. As of this writing O is Still unsure of selection, but stand by. Admiral Rickovcr Best of luck, Lester. 182 TERRY ALAN TOUSSAINT Terry came to the Academy from Chico High School in the Sacramento Valley of California.

CASSIUS CLAY WARREN, JR. Fulfilling the destiny of many a Navy junior. Clay returned to his birthstate to accept the challenge of the finest school in the nation. Born in Maryland but raised in Iowa, he has proven quite significantly that country boys lack nothing. During Plcbe year. Cash w«s one of the few never in a hurry and cherished the title granted from the upperclass of hardest Plebe to find. During sequndo year, Ali was a strong advocate for starting a branch of Naval Hell's Angels , but a misadventure one autumn eve cooled his appetite for kicks, temporarily. Switching to space perils for his firstie treat, wary groundlings would duck as an air coupe hurtled out of the blue to buzz Bancroft Hall. Clay has been on or near the Superintendent's list most of the time while participating in many activities from Varsity Debate and Masqueraders to the Scuba Club. His keen mind ought to remain carefree and make it a pleasure for his subordinates to work for him. CHARLES TYLDEN WESTCOTT, JR. The state of California happily relinquished one of her favorite sons when Charlie came to the Naval Academy. The challenging life which faced him was no challenge at all for him. Academics proved no problem for him. although he spent many long hours with his slipstick and steam tables. When not in the library he could usually be found elsewhere, his thirst, for knowledge, was unquenchable. After class one could usually find Charlie over at the boxing ring, where his athletic skills matched those of the classroom. Weekends found him escorting charming young ladies in the yard or along the banks of the Severn. His smiling face and beaming countenance would be a welcome addition to any wardroom. MICHAEL FRANCIS WILSON Mike calls Philadelphia his home. After attending West Catholic High School he joined the Naval Reserve and lived to regret it after spending Christmas '63 at Great Lakes, from whence he went to Columbian Preparatory School in Washington, D.C. Wils played football at both West Catholic and Columbian. He came to USNA to continue playing but he fooled the NAAA. Mike's first two years were pretty much uneventful, but since second class summer in Jacksonville, he has bought nothing but Esso gas and eaten Frosted Flakes. Mike's warm personality and his sense of humor earned him many friends. For those who knew him well, life was interesting, if not a joke. With these attributes, he is bound to be a success. 183 . f 1 ! 184 2nd SET COR: T.R. Mewhinney; SUB-CDR: K.W. Ilgenfrit ; C.P.O.: T.L. Glover. 3rd SET CDR: T.R. Mewhinney;SUB-CDR: K.W.

Ohio, “Fly , as he was affectionately called by his classmates, spent most of his time fighting the rigors of the Engineering Department. Having a brother in the Air Force, explained Jim's early enthusiasm for flying, a career which he will follow upon graduation. This enthusiasm was only equalled by his love of sports. Many a season's record proved to be that much better due to Fly's presence on the Company's basketball and softball teams. A weakness for pretty girls and fast cars have brightened many a weekend. Looking forward to June Week and graduation the Navy can expect to receive a very fine and competent officer in Jim. ROBERT JEFFREY ARNESON Arme came to the Academy from Las Vegas. Nevada. His cosmopolitan background produced a real diamond m the rough. By general consensus Arnie was acclaimed the company smoothie . If he was not found combing his golden locks in front of some mirror he was under his sunlamp. Long a target of women from all corners of the nation, his charms where made unavailable to the great masses after a certain Spring leave in Florida. In other more constructive fields Bob managed to make his name standout. His leadership abilities were manifested as company commander first class year. Academics were no problem for Arnie, as a charter member of the Supt's List, and a Naval Engineering major. Following a June wedding, Arnie will be one of the nuclear power boys. JOHN ROBERT BOWDEN 8odeen . a proud native of Tyler. Texas, is noted most for his academic prowess. Both witty and charming, he can be found in the center of any conversation. Bob's personality never really comes out into the open until you ask him a question about anything. From then on he is a life-long friend. You will have to look far and wide to find a more conscientious and amiable midshipman. When Bob isn't fulfilling his duties as company Laundry and Morale Officer his spare time is often occupied with his more than passing interest in photography. Since he has no undying love for academics, it is amazing that he has been regular on the Supt's list and has worn stars more than once. Bob's versatility in his knowledge of all branches of the naval service make it difficult for him to decide upon his service selection. At the moment it looks like naval aviation has gained another fine officer. FRANCIS RICHARD BRLETICH Frank, known as Tich by his friends, brought to the Naval Academy a love for big cars and fast women. The affable coal-miner who hails from Donora, Pennsylvania, will also be remembered for his easy going manner and the all out effort he always gave to any sport in which he participated. A Mathematics major graced with sufficient brains to make the Supt's List frequently, Tich was always willing to help the less fortunate math minds in the Fourth Company. As for the Navy and the future. Tich's first love is Naval Aviation and one of his proudest moments will be the first time he dons his wings . For fond memories he will be best remembered as the man with the straight scotch in his hand and for adhering closely to his own Golden Rule: Rugby Line is Mighty Fine . 186 ANTON PHILLIP FOSSUM Phil mode the transition from being a Cadet at Eisenhower High School in Yalcima. Washington, to being a Midshipman at USNA look easy. This was especially shown by his ability in all phases of athletics, where he annually validated practically every PT class Navy offered, from swimming to wrestling. His coordination was further demonstrated during Plebe summer when he picked up a squash racket for the first time in his life. Since then he has rarely put it down, winning an N star and helping Navy's varsity squash te«Kr win the Inter-Collegiate Champion-ship during second class year. Academically, things didn't come so easily, but he did manage to make the Supt's List several times during the four years. As a systems Engineering Major, Phil will apply his knowledge of weapons to Navy Air. where his practical talents and ability to learn quickly, will prove a great asset to him and a great benefit to the service. PAUL GOLDEN GAFFNEY, II Gaff came to the Academy from the Dayton corner of the 8uckeye State . It took no time for him to make his first love known to all; that being cross country and track. The first exhibition of his running prowess was breaking the Plebe Summer indoor mile record. This was followed by his breaking the Plebe two mile record which he still holds to this date. Paul was a member of the Varsity Cross-Country, Indoor track, and Outdoor Track teams his three upper class years. Academics were never a problem for The Gaff . He was always on the Supt's List and Dean's List, and even achieved every midshipman's dream of a perfect 4.0 semester. Paul's only setback while at the academy was his being catcher for the javelin team and spending time in the hospital as a result. He overcame this setback and heeded his company officers call Navy Line is Mighty Fine . STEPHEN MICHAEL GENSTIL Steve came to the Naval Academy from sunny California. He was well qualified for the rigors of Academy academics having graduated first in his class from South Gate High School. Even though he majored in Physics at Navy, he made the Supt's List every semester except the first, earning his first set of Dean's List stars during the first semester of 2 c year. Steve enjoyed all types of athletics, especially baseball. Seldom was he ever out-done by plebes living baseball carry on questions at him in the messhall. In the field he was consistently a top performer in intramural cross-country, touch football, and. of course, softball. Steve's flashing smile was well-known throughout the brigade and won him many friends, both inside and outside the walls. His conscientiousness and perseverance will assure him a very rewarding career in the United States Navy. TERRY LEE GLOVER Terry hails from the Lone Star State, Jacksonville to be specific. He came to the Naval Academy via NAPS after two years of enlisted service Terry has been a professional showman since day one. His experience, humor, and lyrical cadence marched us through a hot plebe summer. Like the legendary sailor, Tex managed to find a girl in every port. Women from Rochester to Loredo served him faithfully through four years. Yet his greatest marks were in entertaining as a representative of many academy musical groups. He played all parts and sung all songs from the Weems Creek Boys, to the Deep Six-2, to his successful production and direction of the 1968 Musical Club Show. NFO is his calling, he'll do the job again and make things a little easier for all the others involved. 187 FIRST BATTALION FOURTH COMPANY MICHAEL DAVID GRULLI If there has been one unfailing certainty to guide this native of Yerington, Nevada on his rampage through these hollowed walls, it is his all-consuming desire to be an officer of Marines. That is. unless he decides in favor of Navy line. Supply Corps, NAO, or the Foreign Legion. Grools has always managed to keep this and Other compromising decisions from hindering him in his unique ability to find enjoyment in even the smallest details of the four year survival course. As in everything else, it takes all kinds to make up a company, and without Mike's unrestrained wit and willing hand the years would surely have passed more s owly. Whenever there was need of a lift in spirit it was usually Grools who provided it. His selfless and amiable manner will brighten any wardroom, cockpit, or foxhole to which his service selection may lead him. STEVEN PATRICK HANNIFIN Steve, a Navy Junior, was so thrilled by his appointment to USNA that he decided to sign up for the five-year plan. A love for adventure and a slight distaste for the books combined to make Steve's stay at Navy an experience few of those who knew him will forget. He was known as a person who would try anything once, including Ocean City and Georgian Moon. Steve was always ready to help out. whether it meant demolishing a reveille bell or opening a basement window. After graduation. Steve plans to devote his energies to a new wife and Navy Air. RUSSELL LEWIS HALLAUER Russ came to the Academy from the far northern land of Rochester. New York. After a stint on the Plcbe soccer training tables, he managed to incur his share of the wrath of several upperclassmen. Since Plebc year, Russ has looked forward to the one thing, graduation! For when that day comes, he plans to fulfill his ambition of becoming one of those who ride a stovepipe . Few people know the real Russ Hallauer. His quiet mannerisms are merely a mask, for underneath is a true steamer. He is the life of any party. So. with his receding hairline and a great desire to wear the wings of gold, Russ will enter the Fleet as a most welcome addition. ROBERT THOMAS HICKINBOTHAM As upper Sandusky. Ohio's representative to the Naval Academy Hick has given an excellent account of himself although not known for his academic excellence, he has more than made up for it in his hard work and the mark he has made on the Varsity Track team as a hurdler. Tom will join the Marine Corps upon graduation, even though he once refused a recruits hair cut. His friends will always remember his pleasing personality. The Naval Academy will lose one of its hardest workers but the Marine Corps will gain a truly great Jar Head . 188 CRAIG GIBSON HONOUR Craig is one of the most well known and popular members of the class. A Navy Junior he has lived in many places, but considers Jacksonville to be his home. He is a fine athlete, excelling at football in which he lettered twice. There is nothing small about the man. This fact is well illustrated by his car, a faster than fast Corvette that will pass anything on the road except a gas station and the payment window at the finance company. Craig hopes to become a pilot, and due to his great capacity for hard work, he should be a good one. ROBERT LLOYD HUGGINS Bob or Hugs is an Army brat who can claim just about any where his home. He came to us after what he calls A moment of insanity” during his senior year in Norfolk. Bob managed to keep himself out of trouble plebe year by eating on the Soccer training table, and after his short happy career in the sport Hugs graduated tc intramural sports, where he enjoyed many a good, if not a winning, season with the rest of the team. Not a man to stick around on weekends. Bob made a game out of trying to be the first man out of the yard on Saturdays and the last man back. Bob is planning a career in Navy Air, and I'm sure if his good humor, and quick wit follow him through Pensacola he will be a welcome addition to any ready room. KENNETH WILLIAM ILGENFRITZ Fritz took a short ride up Route 2 from Baltimore to come to the Academy and ever since has been heading back down the same road. Every chance he gets, never one to return earlier than 55 seconds before liberty expired, he lived up to his cries of Give me liberty or give me leave . The Baltimore Son could always be found surrounded by a pipe rack, soccer shoes, soul music, a best seller, and someone laughing at his unending jokes. Far between trips to the soccer and fieldball fields, tie weightlifting rooms, and the blue trampoline. Ken found time to get good grades, especially in Politics and Economics, and a hard earned major in D.Q. With his winning personality and sense of responsibility to be a welcome addition to any wardroom in the Fleet. JAY LYNN JOHNSON If at any time during his four years here you had asked Jaybird what steam was for. he would have told you it existed to launch jets off carriers. Hailing from West Salem. Wisconsin, he came to Navy to achieve his goal of being at the stick of one of those jets. He was slowed down with a knee operation Plebe year, but bounced right back to hit Youngster Spanish in the way Grant took Richmond. Jay's sense of duty and exemplary leadership qualities were recognized by those around him. Second Class year he was entrusted with a platoon of freshman Plebe Summer, and then with the five stripers of First Regimental Commander First Class year. Although he's had eight cold-catshots he is still looking for someone to put him in orbit. After knowing Jay for four years, I can say of him, if it can truly be said of anyone. I'd be proud to serve with him . We wish him an equal number of good take-offs and landings. 189 FIRST BATTALION FOURTH COMPANY THOMAS REILLY MEWHINNEY Tom came to the shores of the Severn from Denton, Texas. Those who knew him will never forget his great sense of humor and his relaxed manner. While at the Academy he was an exceptionally hard worker and when on liberty or leave he was a hard person to keep up with. During academic year hardly a night would pass that he wasn't engrossed in studies. His efforts paid off and he was constantly on Supt's List and often on Dean's List. His father being a retired submariner. Tom naturally had a great interest in going into the Silent Service from the beginning of his stay here. Tom discovered that he had been missing out on his favorite sport - rugby before coming to Annapolis. After graduation Tom plans to get married and head for Nuclear Power school. CHARLES WILLIAM MOORE. JR. This competent and determined young man hailed from Mobile, Alabama. Since he was an Air Force junior.

Army Game parties and first class cruise will always be remembered by his friends. Rich's graduation will give Naval Aviation one of its best officers. THOMAS KINNARD TARDY Being an Army brat Toodles was never in one place for very long, but he called Annandale, Va. his home. Tom was well suited for the Naval Academy, being an Army Junior and also having gone a year to the U.S. Military Academy Prep School in Ft. Belvoir, Va. His surprising abilities in tennis and squash helped bring brigade championships to each of those battalion teams. Tom was also one of the better handball players n his company. He seldom was at a loss about vhat to do with his free time, he usually spent his time working out on the blue trampoline, leing a hard worker. Tom managed to win a ouple of close bouts with the Academic depart-..� ent. This did not detract from his sense of humor and affability, by which he was known to his friends.

Mark's athletic participation centered around soccer, boxing, squash and weightlifting and he could always be counted upon to be a strong competitor. His quick wit and likeable personality made the Trains a favorite among his classmates.

RAY ANDERSON WALLACE Raised in the shadow of the Alamo, Wally came to the 8oat School as a gung-ho Texan and after four years of Yankee living, he is still fighting the Civil War. A firm believer in the Plebc system, he was well known and respected by all members of the Fourth Estate. Ray’s aptitude for Skinny proved highly beneficial to both himself, as President of Sigma Pi Sigma, and to his classmates. He spent many nights aiding the many Skinny, victims in his midst.

He was a valuable addition to the plebe baseball team and distinguished himself in the academic field, earning a place on the Dean's list several times. His fine performance, versatility, and friendly disposition enabled him to attain the position of Company Commander his first class year. Those who knew him will remember him as always ready to provide a little entertainment. A student of aeronautical engineering, he aspired to be a naval aviator, assuming he can overcome an acute suffering from motion sickness (He has been known to get seasick on the YP’s). G. hopes to be accepted eventually as an astronaut, and should make a fine member of our nations space team. JOHN FRANKLIN BELL John came to Annapolis after graduating from Punahau School. Honolulu, Hawaii. An innate love for sun. sand, surf and the things that go with them led him to Southern California for the next three summers. Tink as he came to be known during an eventful plebe year, was a high school crew letterman and his experience and size led him into the stern of Navy's Lightweight Varsity shell as coxswain. Size, however, meant that every spring chow in the mess hall would go by noticed but untouched if he were to weigh less than his coach by the first race. The troops of the Academic department never could get over his head. In fact, they had a hard time keeping him busy during study hour, especially during crew season, when a lot of study time was spent losing weight in a steaming shower. This didn't keep him from wearing gold stars on his lapels and the two stripes of a Regimental Adjutant during first class year. Whichever branch of the service is fortunate enough to have John serve with it will gain a fine officer. JOHN COURTNEY BOWERS The pride of the small town of Dike, Iowa. Courtney brought to the Academy his interests in academics, music, drinking, and the weaker sex -preferring the last three together. It never ceased to amaze those of us who knew him, that he could spend his life in the rack while consistently making the Supt's list and completing his major second class year. He was a regular member of either his company or 8attalion football team, and devoted his extracurricular time to the chapel choir and his best deal at Navy the Glee Club. If there is a man who has never made an enemy at the Academy, it is he. With his good-natured disposition and strong desire to succeed. Courtney should prove to be an outstanding officer of the Navy Line. 194 ROBERT ALLEN CHESTER Bob or Chess as he is known by his friends, arrived at the Academy immediately upon graduating from a Long Island high school, where he excelled in academics. His aptitude for liberal arts was immediately revealed by his high standing in these courses. However, his interests weren't totally devoted toward academic pursuits. His high school tennis was a way of life and as a result Bob soon became a top player on the Navy varsity. As far as women go, Chess changed them as frequently as his socks. Regardless of his choice of service. Bob will accomplish more than a man of equal ability, who has but average ambitions and determination to succeed. PHILIP SPRATT CLARK, JR. From Riverside Poly High. Riverside. California, Flip. an Air Force brat, came already determined to fly Navy jets. Well liked by all who knew him. Flip possessed a distinct ability to not let the rigors of the system bother him. However in academics he seemed dormant, but persistence eked him through. By youngster year Flip's chief interests turned to those hours of bliss in bed and illegal culinary artistry. He was active in intramural sports, excelling in soccer. Flip's hobbies included dreaming of his ultimate goal of a career in Naval Aviation. That part of the Naval Service will gain a most valuable and loyal officer upon Flip's graduation. RICHARD SAMUEL CLOVER, III The hills of Pennsylvania sent us Rich. He experienced the last plebe year and became an accomplished singer plebe summer. At high school Rich played football for four years and was one of the dashing young men on campus. However, at the trade school, he had to concentrate on his studies and spent many weekends hitting the books; his greatest achievements being a 3.06. As a natural athlete Rich played many sports well, including lightweight crew. Then came firstclass year as company commander. The life of an aviator appeals to Rich and we know this sincere hard working guy will be successful in this and all endeavors WILBUR EVERETTE EDWARDS. JR. Wil came to good old Navy from the flower of the Atlantic Coast; Norfolk. Virginia. One of the first things he did plebe year was to decide that study hour was sixty minutes long, and that was all it ever took to keep him on the Supt's or Dean's list. For sports. Wil took to the water like a true Navy man. Crew seemed to be the right endeavor, more because of his close resemblance to an oar than any former ability. However, with characteristic determination he became a regular sight on the icy Severn. Wil was probably one of the only members on the lightweight team who regularly scoured the mess hall for food in an effort to get up to weight. On any weekend, if Wil could be found at all it would be at one of the many hops or dances. Navy Air is foremost in Wil's mind - JAMES STANLEY FAL Jim came to the Academy from the fleet via NAPS. Already an accomplished sailor, he set his goals for a future Naval career extremely high. Enrolling in the Applied Science program in order to gain acceptance into Nuclear Power demanded long hours and much hard work which Jim granted willingly. Jim still found time to acquaint himself with almost all of his classmates to such an extent that his smiling face, and his bright red b-robe came to be a familiar sight throughout the hall. If Jim worked hard, he played hard too. He was in the D B for three years as a topnotch musician and extended this talent into his church-party choir. Jim wielded a wicked squash racquet, and played a fast brand of basketball for the intramural program. His life as a midshipman was fast and furious also. He always had something going, and never missed the chance for a good time. Wit and natural good humor made Jim an outstanding person and a superior officer. © 195 FIRST BATTALION FIFTH COMPANY JAMES ANTHONY FARKAS Grrreat. just Great usually denotes the presence of one James A. Farkas in a group. An outwardly carefree and nonsweat guy, Jim set his goals very high at U.S.N.A. He came to the Academy with an academically oriented outlook and a tremendous musical ability. He made good use of both in his four years at Mother Bancroft. He maintained a better than 3.0 average with an emphasis on Management under the tutelage of the Naval Science Department. While accomplishing this feat, he participated in the Concert Band and the NA-10 Dance Band. He devoted more time to the NA-10 of which he became the leader in his last year. In musician's terminology he blew a mean bari sax! Jim's social attitudes and interests definitely broadened through the normal process of enlightenment which is part of any all male school's curriculum. Jim has a great desire to go on to medical school, but he will be an asset to whatever field he enters, and he will be a tremendous addition to the officer corps of the Navy. BENJAMIN CHARLES FROMME Golden Boy as he was often called by his Lacrosse teammates came from nearby Baltimore. He graduated from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute where he lettered in Lacrosse all four years. Ben came to the Naval Academy with Lacrosse in mind and to keep in style he lettered three years at Navy. His sense of humor always supplied any gathering with plenty of laughter. One such humorous event occurred when he and his jovial roommate were caught blasting the Admiral’s official car with snowballs. Golden Boy always had a tight weekend schedule especially during the Baltimore Colt football season. Ben plans on a career in Navy Air. His fine leadership qualities and personable nature assure him of an outstanding career in the Navy. THOMAS HAYES Being a Navy junior. Navy life was nothing new to Tom. However after coming to the Academy from Chula Vista. California, Tom found that USNA life was a little different from what he expected. The main point was the difference of opinion between the Executive Department and himself as to the seriousness and amount of work that should be devoted to the academic program. (It is rumored that his professors found it easier to remember his name because of his distinguishing marks and his ability to hear and comprehend every word said in class while resting his eyes). One of his first decisions at Canoe U. was his choice of a field of concentration. Anyone asking him What are you majoring in? would always hear Graduation. Tom was engaged in sports all year round; intramural football and rugby in the fall and spring, and brigade boxing in the winter. Boxing earned him a N letter. In between all this, he was engaged for four years in the LOG Magazine serving as Editor-in-Chief during his last year. Tom has been going Navy Air for four years now and after June he will be Pensacola bound. DON J. HEALY Don came to us from Chicago's North Side determined to make a mark at Navy for himself. He achieved that on the Blue trampoline and in boxing. By his second class year Don was Brigade heavyweight champ. Don also excelled at batt. football and softball. His relations with the academic departments were not as ideal and a Weapons Department good deal enabled him to spend a fifth year excelling for Navy. Don used his fifth year wisely, resting himself for an eventual tour in underwater demolition teams, and recovering from his second first class cruise. As anyone in sixty-eight can tell you - Don was an excellent friend who would help out anyone who needed a hand and a cheerful companion. 196 ERIC JOSEPH HOUIN From out of the Mardi Gras city of New Orleans, Joe made his way to USNA. He was an outstanding athlete in high school and upon entering the academy he immediately undertook the task of leaving his mark on the record books. Although he constantly maintained fine academic grades, the real records were the ones he set while high stepping the hurdles. He broke several records while on the plebe squad and was a shoo-in for the varsity squad when youngster year began. While on the varsity squad he continued his outstanding performances to become one of Navy's best hurdlers. He is truly a credit to the tradition of the Navy and will be an asset to any unit to which he is assigned. SCOTT EDWARD MCDANIEL Scott Edward McDaniel, born July 1, 1946, came to the USNA from Ponca City, Oklahoma. As a plebe, Scott's interests included plebe football and track. Second semester of the same year found him on the Supt's list, where he was to remain throughout his Academy career. His interests during the remaining three years again centered around football. As a youngster he played on the junior varsity squad, and played with the varsity team his last two years. In addition to the Superintendent's list, Scott's name appeared on the Dean's list at the end of his second class year. The first battalion was under Scott'S command during the Winter set of his first class year. CHARLES ROBERT MUNSEY. JR. Bob. a Navy junior, calls Titusville. Florida his hometown right now. He graduated from Granby High School in Norfolk. Virginia where he was active in Science Club. Since he entered the Academy, Bob has had his sights set on a career in Navy Air. He has always shown an avid interest towards anything connected with flying. 8ob has also developed quite an interest in soccer and has been a standout on his company soccer teams. With his desire for the Navy Wings of Gold and his tough competitive spirit along with his leadership qualities Bob can look forward to a great Navy career MARTIN JOSEPH NACRELLI Hailing from Chester. Pennsylvania, Marty entered the Naval Academy after spending a year at Bull is prep. While at the Academy, he saw action as a member of the Plebe and junior varsity football and lacrosse squads. He also participated with his company's softball and soccer teams. Although extremely competitive on the athletic field, Marty was well known for his easy going attitude elsewhere. Always active socially, he could be found at most of the parties in the local area. When not engaged in athletics or at a social gathering, he could usually be found catching up on his lost Sleep. Wherever he may go. Marty will always be an asset to any organization. 197 FIRST BATTALION FIFTH COMPANY GORDON THOMAS SANDISON Gord came to the Naval Academy right after graduation from high school in Port Angeles, Washington. The carefree attitude he brought with him, never left him. Although he had his bouts with the Executive Department and spent many a weekend restricting. Gord never lost that familiar smile. Even though he starred for many of his company's intramural teams Gord could usually be found in the fieldhouse playing basketball on just about any afternoon. Weighted down with the burdens of academics on several occasions Gord always put his nose to the wheel and came out on top. Future success is guaranteed to Gord throughout his career. WILLIAM JOHN SAWYER Bill came to the Naval Academy from Father Judge High School in Philadelphia. At the Academy he quickly proved that academics were to be no problem and has since graced many a Superintendent's List. Bill developed into the true scholar and was always willing to aid a friend in defending himself from the onslaught of the Academic Departments. He excelled in all sports but came to love and enjoy basketball, an activity into which he has devoted much of his spare time. Our connoisseur of soul music was known throughout the company for his winning personality and ability to utilize every second of leave to its utmost. His natural ability, ambition and ease with which he develops friendships will insure him success in a very promising future. RAYMOND CHARLES SCHAUBEL Coming to the Academy after one year at New Mexico Military Academy, Ray was well prepared to take on the rigors of Navy life. A hard worker in both his scholastics and in his three years of varsity track, Ray earned the respect of his classmates for his steadfastness and determination for success. Although priding himself a lady's man, he left little doubt in our minds that he would always return to hts one and only. Although he is as yet undecided as to service career, some branch of the Navy will be gaining a fine officer when Ray joins the fleet. BRUCE JOHN SPAULDING Hailing from Ithaca. New York, Bruce came to Annapolis, via NAPS. His time spent ashore, however, did not affect his first love, nuclear subs.

He soon redirected his efforts and found his place on an ambitious battalion football team as a plebe, and in the winter he earned his numerals on the plebe rifle team. As the years passed the company softball and volleyball teams also enjoyed Duane's presence. Always a hard worker in whatever he tried, Glis undoubtedly made a fine impression with the Venezuelans, as he partook in their foreign exchange cruise program first class year. Duane's great attitude and desire for success put three stripes on his sleeve while he was here, and these attributes, together with his undying good humor should make him a more than welcome addition in his chosen field of Navy Air. 202 ZENAS NORMAN GURLEY If Zene had not decided to make a career in the Navy, he probably would have chosen fur trapping as his life-long endeavor, as hunting and fishing came first in his heart. As a native of Pierre, South Dakota, when not chasing coyotes or other wild critters, he found time to make the high school All State football squad and to help take his teams to track and basketball State Championships. Once at USNA. however. Zene took a new aim - the Nuclear Power Program.

Brimming with self-confidence and good leadership qualities. Zene will make a fine officer. RALPH JEFFREY LADUCE Jeff, after denoting a year of his talents to Rochester University decided to tackle bigger and better things by coming to Navy. Having little trouble with Academics he was able to denote much of his time to company sports where he was a big asset to several winning lightweight football teams. Sleep could not be neglected, of course and R. J. took great pains to neglect his as little as possible. Weekends were never dull at Navy, either, as Jeff readily verified. Displaying initiative and perseverance throughout his four years at the Academy. Jeff eagerly awaited graduation. Aspiring to apply these same talents to the Fleet, Jeff will inevitably become a success as a Naval Officer. ROBERT LAVERN LONG 8ob came to the Naval Academy from Waltham High School in Waltham. Mass. There his main interests were in sports While here at USNA he spent most of his afternoons in the lower boxing ring, where he trained for two brigade championship eliminations. While not an outstanding student, he managed to maintain average grades and still get a full nights sleep. Noted for his shuffling feet and easy-going laziness, 8ob should have an interesting future in the Marine Corps. WILLIAM LEE MCDOWELL. Ill Mac can often be found throwing stones, into a duck pond, dreaming of beautiful blondes, shooing down ski hills, and talking about high performance Corvettes. Like his father, Mac has aspirations of flying. He came into the academy directly out of Turnon High School. Guam, where he excelled in both sports and academics. It is no wonder that Mac supported stars, after leaving Turnon as valedictorian. Though he lived for his weekend liberty, he was never one to throw in his academic towell and often burned the midnight oil. However. Mac logged in quite a number of TV hours, even second class year His desk was well equipped. Bermuda witnessed Mac's scuba enthusiasm, as well as the several moonlit evenings on his motorcycle. His driving became well known all four years at the academy. Mac's determination and desire to do a job well will be definite assets to his Naval career. 203 FIRST BATTALION SIXTH COMPANY MICHAEL CLIFFORO MORSCHAUSER Mike hails from Coblcskill. New York, where his career as an all-around athlete began. Participating in indoor and outdoor track, basketball, and baseball, Mike earned nine letters during his high school days. Upon entering the Academy however. Mike found another sport to his liking, crew, in which he earned two varsity letters. He will always be remembered as the guy who had a good deal and if any trophies were given for oratory and verbage, Mike would also have had one of those. His bull sessions were unparalleled in length and content, but at the same time he was able to distinguish himself in academics. He always felt that academics stood in the way of his education, yet he yielded anyway to their necessity. Mike's tact coupled with his analytical mind insure that he will be a huge success in his career as a Marine Aviator. JOHN FRANCIS O'NEIL, JR. After four active years at Ansonia High School, John came to Navy. His enthusiasm and talents were not lost in the transition, and he soon found his way into Navy's ECAs. A great competitor, John made himself well-known on the Athletic fields where he contributed greatly to company soccer and fieldball teams and a Brigade Champion track team. Night found him diligently battling the mysteries which evolve from Sampson Hall, while weekends found him indulging in the more pleasurable aspects of the area Although we all complain of the Academy laundry. John has probably profited most from its efficiency , for it led him to the discovery of one of Annapolis's more prominent suburbs' John is considering a commission in the Marine Corps, but has made no definite plans. Whichever service he selects is sure to receive one of its finest and most dedicated officers. ROBERT LEE PETERSON On 30 June 1964 Robert L. Peterson, affectionately known as Frazool but more commonly called Pete took the oath of a midshipman. Pete was an all-around athlete and won his plebe numerals in basketball and baseball. He was unable to continue his athletic career, due to a plebe baseball knee injury. Ouring his years at good ole USNA. Pete had his hands in many a brigade activity such as painting Tecumseh, typing for the LOG and acting as morale officer by supplying his buddies with good chow from home. Pete was not only one of the brightest mid's academically (having been on the Supt's and Dean's Lists every semester since '64 while sporting a major in Electrical Engineering.) but also shined well with the Exec Department having earned the four stripes of first batt commander. Upon graduation Pete hopes to fly the Navy's Phantom. We all agree that his determination and hard work will make him one of the U.S. Navy's top Jet Jockeys. WILLIAM LEE RICHARDSON Lee came directly to the Academy after graduation from North Side High School in Fort Wayne. Indiana. Having lettered in football in high school. Lee continued to enjoy athletics at USNA contributing much to the success of the Company football team and to a Battalion Championship track team.

New York, Doc came to the Academy by way of the fleet, spending three and a half years as a corpsman and a tour at the Naval Academy Prep School. It was here at USNA that Doc developed his thirst for history. Many an evening would find him entranced in the realm of the Bull department; but his favorite pastime was tinkering. If it didn’t work. Doc could fix it and if it did. he could fix that too. Active in the YP Squadron, Doc carried his enthusiasm for boats along with him on first class cruise and came back more determined than ever to go destroyer line. A friendly and outgoing personality earned him the respect of those that knew Doc and formed many lasting friendships. Possessed with a love for the sea. Doc should prove to be an outstanding addition to those who go down to the sea in ships. JAMES EDWARD SERLEY Jim came to the Academy directly after graduation from 8ruce High School in 8ruce, Wisconsin, where his main interests were academic. Beginning with Plebe summer, his interests changed from academic to crew, and he could be found every afternoon rowing on the Severn. Plebe year and Suls were never the best friends, but things really began to brighten up when his girl, later to become his wife, moved East from Wisconsin. Since then, most every weekend he could be found enjoying liberty -somewhere. His spare time was occupied pursuing his main hobby, amateur radio.

A natural leader with a fighting spirit. Bob will continue to excel as an officer m the Marine Corps. EDWARD AUGUST SUNDBERG Following a time honored family military tradition, Ed entered the Academy after graduation from Nashua Senior High School. New Hampshire.

DENIS JOHN WHITCO Hailing from a small town in Western Pennsylvania, Wit never did completely agree with the confinements of USNA. Exerting a minimum effort necessary to survive he remained a great athlete and had no trouble whatsoever with academics, appearing occasionally on the Supt's List. Breaking more girls' hearts in a month than most guys can date in six, and with a quick sense of humor and a likeable personality, Wit made life at Navy a little easier to take. A kind of leader men will follow and not care where he's taking them, he'll make a great aviator, that is, unless he goes Corps at the last minute. But then, who knows what he'll do. 206 BARRY LEE YANKOLONIS Yank, another O.T.L. charter member, was an Army brat who came to USNA after two very enjoyable years at Penn State University.

He was very active in company sports, especially football, and sailed aboard the yawls during the spring and fall. He had a knack of losing roommates while battling the Academic Department to stay himself. His cheerful personality and wit were often dulled by lack of sleep and thermo tests. Yank is one of the most mature and sincerest members of our class. With his outstanding judgment, enthusiasm, and determination, he will surely become one of the Navy's top aviators. FRED JOHN YOUNG.

Here he enjoyed his three favorite sports, football, basketball. and baseball. Before entering the Academy. Phil spent one year preping at New Mexico Military Institute.

Phil does not know what he will do after graduating, but his enthusiasm and determination are sure to bring him success in any field. JOHN JOSEPH BECKER. JR. JJ is a Navy Junior who has already seen more of the world than many men see in a lifetime. He has also read more novels during study hours than most college men succeed in wading through in a college career. At one point he was averaging six books per week. Needless to say. Jay's forte is Bull - and having been twice to Europe. Hawaii, and Puerto Rico can't hurt a History major. Nor can being a Bull slash do anything but help the professional career of a man as interested in the Navy as JJ. A friendly smile and an easy-going nature are but a disguise for a man who is as serious about the Naval Service as any Admiral. Jay is looking forward to that toss of a cap that will send him to the Destroyer Navy and a subsequent tour with a small boat squadron. WINFIELD ALBERT 8ECKER, JR. A graduate of Lower Mcrion High School in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, Win came to the Naval Academy via the enlisted Navy and Naval Academy Preparatory School. A high school soccer player, he continued to play at NAPS and at the Academy, where he won the varsity N . The high point in his soccer career was playing in the NCAA play-offs. During off seasons. Win served as track manager. Never one to lose a minute of liberty. Win is seldom seen around the Hall on weekends; that is, if not participating m his frequent but not favorite pastime of restricting. Concentrating m history, he sustained the academics but didn't break any records. His present aspiration is to be a Naval Aviator where the sky is his limit. DEWEY ELDRIDGE BELIECH, JR. It might have been the sound of Navy Air that brought Skip to the Severn, but destroyers are going to claim him when he leaves. A graduate of Escambia High, in Pensacola, Florida, Dewey's first thoughts were for aviation, but four years at the Academy and a WestPac Cruise to where the action is in Viet Nam helped the greyhounds of the fleet to gain a fierce competitor and an excellent officer, to whom professionalism is more than a mere word. A major in theoretical math and an enviable record of contribution to Plebe, Batt, and Company athletic teams has been punctuated by Skip's many extra-curricular activities. The D B. the Reception Committee, and the Newman Club have all had the benefit of his easy manner and quick smile. His invaluable presence on the Company Staff proved his organizational and administrative abilities to be tops. When the caps fly in June, Navy Air's loss is the Destroyer Navy's gain. 212 JAY MARTIN COHEN Academic proficiency was Jay's claim to fame in that he ranked m the top twenty of the class. Rather than just be content with this accomplishment alone, he utilized it in many ways. Not only did Supt's List weekends find him many hundreds of miles from Mother B. but when not on one of these memorable treks he could be found in the Hall willing to give extra instruction to anyone at any time. Since studies came easy, he devoted many hours to a number of extra curricular activities which ultimately led to the improvement of Brigade Spirit, An enthusiast for the word liberty, he virtually spearheaded a number of Company social get -togethers, most memorably, numerous Company hayrides which proved to be great successes. Although he has acquired the title of Sport Nomad for having participation in 10 different intramural categories, he has contributed his best efforts in every one. His academic endeavors won him a Trident Scholarship in the field of Deep Submergence to which he plans to devote his career. His motto, having proved in many respects. is appropriately Think Deep . DAVID LEROY DAILEY Dave, a Navy Junior, calls Virginia Beach, Virginia, his home town. Sefore entering the Academy, he spent one year in the Engineering School at the University of Virginia. Studying was always first and foremost with Dave. Academically, he got along quite well with most of his subjects. 8ut when it came to the Bull Department, he always seemed to find it a struggle. Most of his spare time at the Academy went toward athletics, Dave played varsity football, plebc baseball. Company Basketball. Company Soccer, and Company Softball Upon graduation, he plans on Navy Line with hopes of postgraduate school in the near future. THOMAS ROBERT GERMANI Tom graduated from Tolman High in Pawtucket. Rhode Island, with highest honors. His last minute decision to attend Navy rather than Air Force proved to be the Air Force Academy's loss. Academics never hindered Tom's sleep When he wasn't in the pad he could be found wandering the halls in quest of a good book or a card game, especially during exam week Still he managed to make the Dean's and Supt's Lists a few times. During his first two years. Tom's athletic endeavors centered around lightweight crew. Later his talents were exhibited on the tennis and basketball courts. To these activities he added the Russian and Radio Clubs. These enabled him to take a few extra days off. However. Tom's foremost activity First Class year was dragging a certain brunette from Baltimore. Always ready with a quick answer or some help for his classmates. Tom's jovial manner will be a welcome addition to any submarine's wardroom. 213 CHARLES KENNETH FOULSHAM Chip came to USNA from the thriving metropolis of Lehighton. Pennsylvania. A high school track star, he continued his running at the Academy. Chip was a member of Varsity Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track teams. A bit shy at first, he emerged under the guidance of Frank Simmons, his roommate for four years. Never one to shirk the books. Chip was continually on the Superintendent's and Dean's Lists and received a major in Physics. His future plans include nuclear power school and the submarine Navy. There is no doubt that his presence will be valuable wherever he goes RAYMOND CHARLES KIDD All the wav from Sacramento. California, Ray forged his way across these vast United States to join us at the happy boys' school on the Severn. Enlightened by a year of college at his hometown, Ray joined us with the bright ambitions of aviation. No slash, he had a remarkable knack of extricating himself from the many snares and pitfalls that the academic departments eagerly placed in his path. He developed the philosophy of never being found in his room on weekends. A proponent of water sports. Ray was on both crew team and the sailing squadron at various times during his stay with us. There is no doubt that Ray will be a valuable addition to Navy Aviation. JOSEPH CHRISTOPHER GLUTTING Chris started this all in June 1961 when as a Navy Junior. he left North Cohasset, Massachusetts, to begin his legendary stay at USNA. Never one to have Kile time on his hands. Chris became deeply involved in all types of extra curricular activities during his four tenures with the classes of ‘65, '66, '67, and '68. Membership in all four classes is a distinction held only by him. During these seven years. Chris has done just about everything a midshipman could do from designing a class crest ('661 to being a member of the Cannoneers. He has served as Class President. Editor of the LUCKY BAG, Company rep for Newman Club, as well as singing in the Catholic choir. From his varied positions as Company Rep, Class Chairman. Investigating Officer, and Vice Chairman of the Brigade Board, he has done a great deal to further instill the Honor Concept within the 8rigadc.

The Legend is looking forward to a career in the surface Navy. CARL BOLTON IHLI. JR. A Navy Junior. Carl presently calls Mechanics-burg. Pennsylvania, his home. Never one for an academic dull moment, he bounced from Ac 8oard toSupt's List in two semesters. A handball fanatic, he could always be talked into a game if he hadn't talked you into one first. His remaining free moments were spent playing tennis or losing fights with the pad monster . Known for his extraordinary Care Packages , he never turned anyone away hungry from Ihli's Delly”. Most weekends found Carl dragging. Hopeful for Nuclear Power School, Carl's hard working ways will be welcome wherever he goes in the Navy. SECOND BATTALION SEVENTH COMPANY SHELBY SANDERS GUILBERT The son of an Academy graduate. Shel spent the first ten years of his life moving up and down the east coast every two years. Shei's life-long ambition of attending the Academy was to come true only after attending Columbian Prep Schoo' in Washington, and Pensacola Junior College in his home town of Pensacola, Florida. Here at the Academy he had the reputation of getting more sleep every night than anyone else in this Company, but at the same time he kept his grades quite high. He was seldom seen dragging here at school, but Gilbs . as his closest friends came to call him, always had some wonderful times in his favorite city nearby Washington. Shel will moke a valuable asset to the Navy's Nuclear Power Program. 214 KENNETH ERNEST KOLARCIK Ken came to the Academy from Xavier High School. New York City, after a determined effort to land an appointment. Ken's main interests, although he spent two seasons on 150 lb. football squad, were in the entertainment fields. While a member of the Catholic Choir. Glee Club, and Musical Club Show. Ken still managed to keep his head above water as an Applied Science minor. Most of Ken's weekends were spent on Glee Club trips. Upon graduation. Ken hopes to attend Nuclear Power School and begin a fruitful career in the Silent Service. RUSSELL JAMES LINDSTEDT, II Realization of a long ambition came when Russ reported to the shores of the Severn after graduating from Don 8osco High School in Milwaukee. Picbe year was a challenge ably met, and it provided Russ with many memories which will not be soon forgotten. Elected Queen of the 1964 Twenty-Fifth Company Turkey Bowl he performed his regal duties admirably, kissing the guest of honor who just happened to be the Superintendent. Academics proved to be one of his many strong points and Russ never had much trouble with the books, frequently wearing stars and making the Supt's List. This left him with a lot of time for other activities, chief among which was the YP Squadron. Many a spring and fall afternoon would find Russ plying the waters of the Chesapeake and during first class year he was designated COMBEERFOAM by the Naval Science Department. When not out on the boats Russ played defense for the Company fieldball team and worked on the LUCKY BAG staff. Known for his quick smile and keen sense of humor, Russ will be a welcome addition to any wardroom in the fleet. JAMES MCARTHUR PERKINS Jim entered the Naval Academy with a strong desire to become a Naval Officer. The passing of Plebe Year imbued Jim with an even stronger desire to graduate as soon as possible. He quickly decided that the best way to do so was by sleeping to make the time go faster. When Jim wasn't asleep, he was busy building his reputation as “The Man With a Thousand Nicknames . His friends affectionately christened him with names varying from Lover Boy and The Big Loser for his endeavors in the field of romance, to The Rock and Perch for his widely renowned swimming disabilities. Undaunted. Jim has worked hard and excelled. After graduation Jim will be working toward his goal of becoming an officer in the Supply Corps. There is little doubt that Jim's character, determination, and abilities will lead him to outstanding achievements wherever he may go. OLIVER LAWRENCE NORTH Ollie left the State University of New York and the Marine Corps Reserve for the banks of the Severn, his ambition being a commission in the Corps. Temporarily detained by a serious auto accident, he turned back, a lucky break indeed for the Class of '68. Ollie's interest in sailing soon made him captain of the Plebe Sailing Team and took him to Bermuda on the yawls. Love of the luxuries of life took him to Survival School m Nevada, and to Ft. 8enning. Georgia, where he earned his jump wings. To convince the few remaining skeptics, he then captured the Brigade 8oxmg Championship. His success in athletics rs surpassed only by his personality, character, and competence as a professional leader as evidenced in his command of the Seventh Company. Ollie expertly concealed his scholarly attributes from all but the Bull Department, where he majored m International Relations.

He displayed his moral fortitude by working vigorously for four years as a Sunday School teacher for the Chapel Sunday School. Always willing to lend a hand, he was an inspiration to his classmates and those who followed. His quick wit and sense of humor won him many friends, both male and female.

JOHN MICHAEL ROSE Jack sprang into our midst from the wilds of Kenosha. Wisconsin. He arrived here at the shores of the Severn with a light heart, a friendly smile and an easy going manner. Even the rigors of Plebe Year couldn't disturb his wonderfully friendly ways, although he lost so much weight he discovered he could make the 150 lb. football squad. This he did in his Youngster year and he has been doing well ever since, as his N sweater will testify. In the field of academics, while never quite making stars Jack was always known for his hard work and diligence, which usually managed to pull off that needed C . With an open and unabashed friendliness and a light hearted manner, they just don't make them any better than Jack Rose.

LORAN McLEAN ADAMS Since he was born in the Naval Academy Hospital. Ads ’ the nickname given to him by his classmates, thought it would be nice to come back and see what it was like inside the walls. A Navy junior. Ads traveled extensively before returning to Annapolis as a plebe.

Seriously considering the Navy as a career, the Virginia gentleman is looking forward to the well-rounded social life of a junior officer. Ads congenial personality and aggressive drive have won him many friends at the Academy and will be valuable assets to his career in the fleet. JOHN PHILIP DAVIS As an Army brat. Phil became closely associated with the military as a future career. Having traveled a great deal, he switched sides and decided that Navy was the only way to go. Surviving the rigors of an unforgettable plebe year, Phil decided to diversify his talents in other fields, such as girls, academics, and sailing. His academic achievements could be termed as the maximum attainment with a minimum of effort. Many study hours were devoted to tutoring his classmates or the upj erclass before a major Weapons quiz. Phil’s hobbies and interests range from his yawl command to building an 18th century model frigate. Two immediate prospects await Phil upon graduation; either the Nuclear Power Program or Navy line. Whichever he chooses, success will surely be his. One can only wish the best of luck and success to a good friend and competent officer. JEFFREY HENRY DESAUTELS Coming from the Buffalo suburb of North Tonawanda, Jeff devoted his athletic skills to plebe fencing but later found other interests. As an outstanding debate student, he had many weekends away from Mother Bancroft with nothing to do but socialize with the fairer sex. Desi's academic endeavors suffered none from all the time spent on Debate and Foreign Relations Club work. His hard work and late nights of study earned him a place in the top 5% of the class and a chance to try his hand on a Trident project. His post graduation interests tend towards International Relations. No matter what the Navy has in store for Jeff, his warm personality and dedication to do the best job possible will take him far in any chosen field. 220 MELVIN SPENCE DRY Spence came to the Academy from nowhere m particular. He has done extensive traveling throughout the world as a Navy junior. Affectionately called Hot Dogger by those who know him, Spence can usually be found spitpolishing his vette. answering his feminine fan mail or sleeping. His glib tongue and good sense of humor have made him many friends Due to a tragic birth defect (2 left feet) Spence was always a stand out in every P-rade. Spence has attained his objective of following in his fathers footsteps here at the Academy. His high academic standing, warm personality, and unending energy made us all proud to serve under him when he was selected company commander. His unique qualities should make him a valuable addition to the surface Navy. ARTHUR LEE EDWARDS Hailing from the swamplands of Southern Florida, Rip, as he is known to his classmates, adjusted to the military ways and rigors of plcbe year with enthusiasm. A diligent student, his name began appearing on the Dean's list as he gathered momentum toward completing his education at the Naval Academy. During his free time away from his books. Rip could be found Scuba diving or pursuing members of the opposite sex. Endowed with fine leadership qualities he was always ready to lend a helping hand to any classmate. Just as he held the admiration of all who knew him at the Naval Academy, he is sure to do so throughout his professional career RICHARD JOHN FERENCHICK Rick hails from Port Carbon. Pa., where black means only one thing, coal. Having spent a year at Bullis before coming to Navy. Rick turned to only to meet a lifelong memory, a guy called URBS- Known for his sense of humor and original sayings he made many friends here and even earned a few nicknames such as Chick and Muff” (??) After graduation Rick plans to dedicate his life to Navy line. Always a willing athlete he has contributed a lot to company and batt sports We all know that he'll succeed m whatever he sets his mind to. JOSEPH LEO HARFORD When he wasn't explaining to the short-haired girl why pictures of the long-haired girl were under his blotter, or to the long-haired girl why he had not called in a year, the king of Luce Hall could always be found in front of the tube. Sports statistics were rivalled only by the big blue pad when it came to occupying the better part of Joe's time. Second only to Robert McNamara in his influence on Modern Management he was also able to make everything from European History to Thermodynamics look simple. From a steelmaking family in a steelmaking town. Joe played baseball as a plcbe but after much knee trouble, switched instead to the intramural circuit. Destined for Navy Air. Joe should prove every bit as successful as he has been at the Academy. 221 SECOND BATTALION EIGHTH COMPANY GERALD LEE HOFWOLT In the summer of 1964 Jerry gave up the rigors of college life at the University of Colorado to take on the pleasant living at old Mother B. A blond blue-eyed native of Palisades. Colorado. Wolt as he's come to be known, was immediately accepted as one of the guys . A bout with plebe summer swimming and a good many hours on the sub-squad finally produced in Wolt a certain degree of prowess in the water, at least to the point where he spent more time above water than below. Wolt struck out in search of a wide variety of endeavors including duty with the D B and the Trident Society. As a segundo. Jerry edited the 1968 TRIDENT CALENDAR, and during first class year, while engaged in some sporting of his own, he served as Sports Editor of the LOG. Jerry wasn't interested in only writing of sports 3S is indicated by his enthusiasm in company soccer, lightweight football, and softball. As his wide interests and motivation indicate, Jerry has all the markings of a fine and dedicated Naval officer. MARK RICHARD KEVAN Work has always been an important term in Mark Kevan's vocabulary. In his years at Navy, he studied as long and as hard as any of his classmates. Never one to take snap courses and try for high grades. Mark consistently overloaded in Nuclear Physics electives. The result was many all-nighters and red eyes. This same attitude extended to the basketball and tennis courts, and to any other of his numerous Battalion and Company sports activities. His warmth and personal regard for everyone have gained for Mark the true respect of everyone associated with him. He will probably always remember a certain blind date, although he was never one to devote himself completely to the pursuit of the fairer sex. Plans after graduation include Nuclear Power and postgraduate work. Everyone back home in Twin Falls. Idaho can rest assured that Kevs will continue to succeed, because he wants to. ROBERT ERNEST LEWIS Bob Lewis hails from the Swamplands of Lake Charles. Louisiana. Lew came to the womb of Mother Bancroft directly after a somewhat dubious four years at Lagrange High School. Lew's fine competitive spirit spurred him on to a successful 150 lb. football career. He earned the coveted N his second class year and appeared to have a bright first class season ahead when he suffered a knee injury on the first day of practice. Lew was never known for his academic prowess but managed to beat the system and keep his head pretty well above water. The gorilla, as he is affectionately called by his company mates, earned this nickname because of his gentle manner with the ladies. Lew's smiling face and carefree attitude have cheered up many a depressed friend. His confidence and his dedication to the Naval Service should make him a valuable asset to Naval Aviation. JOHN MORTON LYDIARD. Ill The first three years found Lyds burning the midnight oil. First class year found the oil was still burning but this time it was 10-W-30 with STP. He didn't know Napoleon Bonaparte from Edward Teller but could make Thermodynamics look like high school Algebra. His ability to sleep through reveille, classes, and Youngster cruise (remember the 8oston?) provided for many a quiet weekend in the hall. Raised near Minneapolis, John was under the mistaken impression that the west side of the Mississippi was the best side. He lived under this delusion for four years but still managed somehow to emerge successful. Always a model fan, Lyd's early taste in plastic planes changed to plastic cars until his collection reached dangerously large proportions. Destined to be a hot pilot, John's transition to the fleet should be easy and he will go on to be one of the best. 222 JAMES DRANE MAULDIN. JR. A true southern gentleman. Dave came to Annapolis from 8aton Rouge. Louisiana. Always aproponentof the strength of southern football. Mauldoon as he is known to his classmates, vigorously supported Alabama football. Dave had a knack for picking winners and served as manager for the Second Batt Brigade Championship wrestling team during his second class year. Feeling somehow that a sound body was more important than a sound mind. Dave fought a constant war with the Academic department while building a powerful body. His work led him to be one of the members of the 200 club. Dave's determination and drive to succeed will make him an outstanding officer in the fleet. ARTHUR JAY MCLAUGHLIN Art came to the Academy from the deep South after having established an excellent high school record. His affable nature and perpetual smile will be remembered by all. After settling down to the military way. Art showed his true greatness by constantly being on the Supt's list and always being right in the middle of company activities ard sports. June brings wedding bells for Art when he and Miss Fahy will fulfill a lifelong ambition. In the sports world.

Art's congenial personality and will to win have earned him the upmost respect of all. and will be valuable assets in his future. ERICK LEROY OSER Eric, nicknamed OS, comes from Silver Spring, Maryland. Erick came to Navy with a strong desire to play football, however, after several years, eating, sleeping and liberty got the upperhand. During his four years at the Academy. Eric has made many friends. Although it's unlikely that Eric would even recognize you before first period, as soon as he wakes up he is really a happy, cheerful person. Eric proved on first class cruise he was very competent in a combat situation, while still retaining his sense of humor. The Navy gains a real fine man and an excellent officer in Eric. 223 JAMES SCOTT MCROBERTS A top student and athlete from Winchester. Virginia, The Apple Capital of the World Mac was one of those select few who belong to the Rangers, who mixed good times and academics. always managing to stay above board in both. Mac's infamous command Company, mass left! from plebe summer will definitely echo in our minds forever. When it came to outside interests Scott could be found working on projects intended to enhance brigade spirit. Active in Spanish Club, one could often hear Mac interjecting a snide Spanish Phrase into his daily conversation. A fine sense of humor and a congenial personality have been more than helpful in seeing him through these last four years. Shortly after taking the oath of an officer Mac plans to head for Florida to achieve his gold wings. In Mac some squadron will be receiving a fine officer and gentleman. a SECOND BATTALION EIGHTH COMPANY MICHAEL JOHN PANCHURA, JR. Emerging from the mines of Coaldale. Mike prepped a year at Bulbs before coming to the Academy. He was pegged to fill the shoes of George Welsh, another Coaldale athletic great and a Navy All-American, but an unfortunate injury plebe year would not allow Punch to reach his full potential and forced his early retirement from the gridiron. In turn. Punch put all his energies into academics, company volleyball, ficldball. and softball teams, and liberty but not necessarily in that order of priority. 8eing a member of the elite Rangers naturally gave him added benefits, although the Math department, from whom Punch is obtaining his major, sometimes over looked this point. Repeatedly making the Supt's list. Punch was a saviour for many of his classmates when it came to giving academic help. Upon graduation, he will head down Florida way to join the ranks of the Navy glamor boys, the aviators. With his successful recipe for hard-work, friendliness, and leadership, the Navy will indeed be receiving a prize package in Punch. THOMAS VICTOR PARRY Tom hails from the cactus capital of the world Needles. California, where he was an All-Southern Cal selection as a halfback for the Needles Mustangs. After entering the Academy, 8ulk used his tremendous athletic ability to guide the company football and softball teams to many victories. On the academic front Tom, a Naval Architecture student studied his way onto the Supt's list and maintained a fine average. Included among his activities at the Academy were positions as Batt Honor Rep, Hoad of the Batt Reception Committee, and member of an elite social group called the Rangers. The Bulk who holds the world's record for charging merchandise out in town-will launch his nav3l career as a junior officer in our surface Navy. As long as he keeps his good-natured personality, his fine sense of humor, and his will to succeed. Tom will be a top-notch officer when he hits the fleet. MICHAEL JON SCHOLTENS Known affectionately to his classmates as Whimp. Mike has been a dedicated student throughout his four years, with his name appearing frequently on the Superintendent's list. Mikes particular area of academic interest is his major in Aerodynamics with a minor field of interest in the study of aerodynamic structures of all shapes and sizes. Part of this study carried him abroad on a foreign exchange cruise to Sweden during his first class summer training period. Always an enthusiastic Navy sports fan. Mike wrote on the LOG sports staff and played on the Batt tennis and squash teams. Chelsea, Michigan, claimed Mike as a home-town boy and Sunday mornings would find Mike rummaging through the newspaper for the latest scores of Michig i sports. Always ready with his bright sense of humor. Mike made many friends during his four years and this, along with his high sense of responsibility and duty, will serve him well in whichever branch of the service he enters. DAVID FORD SPOONER Dave, belter known as Spoons or Snoops, came to the Academy from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but no one held that against him. Dave was a basketball player from the word go. There were few that put as much into playing basketball as Dave. There were even fewer who put as much into their academics. His efforts paid off not only on the score board, but on his grade card. No matter what the challenge. Spoons was always ready to meet it. Surely Dave's drive and determination will make as fine an officer as he was a midshipman. 224 TERRY LEE VIAL Terry, while coming from Northern Pennsylvania. claims a no coal background but he confides that Berwick is the hot spot of the north for potato chips. During his four years at the Academy, Terry has had little real troubles with anything. He has played and studied hard. During the last few years, one has increased to the detriment of the other, but with a new Firebird this is only to be expected. His play usually includes one of Berwicks Best and sometimes some white shoe polish. While remaining high in academics, Terry has managed to find time to participate in several extracurricular activities, help many others with their academic problems, and make many lasting friends. No one will ever regret having known or served with Terry. He is a very fine Midshipman and will make an excellent officer. DONALD ALAN WEISS D.A. , Wizard, Biggie Rat, - they all attempt to describe Don, but they fall short. D.A. came to us from New Mexico Military Institute and Jamestown High a glistening football prospect. Indeed he did contribute to the big blue by commanding the poolies third class year. Sundays found Don warbling along with the other members of the Antiphonal Choir. First class year Don headed the stadium decorating committee and presented Navy fans with several excellent pep boosters. D. A. occasional feints at academic revealed a true intelligence and sense of positive leadership but rarely interfered with his weekend raids on Ranger Point and on the hearts of a few chosen lovelies. Graduation will find D.A. and the Green vette heading for Pensacola in a confirmed state of bachelorhood. In Don, the Brigade, is losing a true friend and all-around good guy, while the Navy is gaining an outstanding individual and a fine officer. 225 226 2nd SET CDR: R.E. Glantz; SUB-CDR: C.P.

Crapps. 227 SECOND BATTALION NINTH COMPANY WILLIAM BOURQUE ANDERSON Smasher came lo the Academy from Rochester. New Hampshire with an accent to match. He found plebe year an experience, to say the least, but he pulled through with winning style. While never exactly a star man. Bill was well known for his excellence in the culinary arts. He also had unmatched patience. None of us who knew him will ever forget Andy and his lamb. Troubles just seem to roll off of his back and he always had a smile for everyone no matter what. He was the proverbial helping hand and would go out of his way to help anyone. Andy looks to Navy Air after a very welcome and hard earned graduation, but no matter where he goes, the Navy will get a good officer and a good man. STEPHEN MICHAEL ARCANA After spending a year at Rutgers Steve decided to accept the challenge offered by the Academy. His performance here was outstanding in both the academic and athletic fields. The Navy was quite a change for Steve often seeing nothing but Army bases previously. But being an Army brat has its advantages. Arci quickly adjusted to the fast and furious pace of plebe year and went on to excel in almost anything he tried. Not being ready to settle down for awhile. Steve was always in the midst of a bevy of feminine charms. When not studying for his Foreign Affairs minor or practicing his powerful backhand. Steve could always be found taking on his share of a party. It looks like Naval Aviation will gam another outstanding officer in the near future. CHRIS HAROLD COHLMEYER During the fall sports season, anyone who could handle the cold November weather could see Chris struggling up the hills of the Battalion Cross-Country course. An outstanding natural runner, Chris found it more advantageous to concentrate on his studies than his running. For this effort, he achieved one of the highest grade totals in the company. Despite pressing social duties Chris managed to succeed in everything he tried. During his four years at the academy Chris was an example for all to follow and will be one of the finest line officers our class ever produces. CLARK PEATCRAPPS Hailing from the deep South, Petey. as he is commonly called by his classmates and friends, brought a warm Florida nose? and ears? to the cold dimatc of Annapolis. Always proud of being a former Florida cowboy, four years at the Academy never completely changed his rustic character. Loving all out-of-doors activities, Pete participated in intramural football for four years and ocean sailing for three seasons. Though not completely sure about his choice of the Naval service. Pete looks forward to his future years in the fleet. 228 R08ERT ORD CRAWSHAW At the beginning of plebe year. Bob quickly picked up the most valuable lesson to be learned at the Academy; namely, you can't possibly do everything expected of you, so why try. During his four years here he became adept at judging just the proper amount of Sweat” necessary to maintain comfortable relations with the Executive Department, the Physical Education Department, and the Academic Departments. His uncanny ability to estimate the precise minimum of effort necessary in these areas left most of his time free for more important things - girls and good times. Bob came to the Academy from Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania, after graduating third in his high school class. In spite of his lack of patience with many of the petty restrictions at the Academy, Bob is basically a serious, career motivated midshipman. He will certainly be one of the finest line officers the Academy has ever produced. KEVIN FRANCIS DELANEY Kev came to Navy from Wolcott High School where he was active in just about everything there was to be active in, from sports to being President of his class. Being of good New England Irish stock. Kev brought to the Academy that typical Irish determination. Kev was always a fervent participant in company sports, and he also managed to trudge over to the Natotorium on many an icy morning to engage in Scuba activities. Being able to sleep through just about anything is one of hts most remarkable assets. Perhaps Kev is best remembered for his close calls with the Academic departments, especially Math and Science; however, you can't keep a good Irishman down, especially Kev. After logging in what was probably the greatest number of E l sessions attended by any mid, he gradually worked up enough gravy to be able to enjoy F irst class year. In his chosen field of Foreign Affairs, Kev couldn't be topped and always had a timely and intelligent opinion on current events. Kev has a winning way with everyone and a perceptive sense of duty and leadership. These qualities will be valuable assets in his naval career, and Kev will go far in any field he chooses. JOHN CHARLES DRANCHAK John came to the Academy directly from high school m Endicott, New York. After successfully surviving the terrors of plebe year, John returned to his usual cheerful self. The Russian had the never ending ability to end up on the wrong end of practical jokes and to lift everyones spirits by telling rather corny jokes John was never one to burn the midnight oil. but rather devoted himself to the musical group, the Marksmen . In the sports world. John was a mainstay of the Battalion squash team and a pitcher for the Company softball team. John will always be remembered for his enjoyable personality There is no doubt that he will be a credit to the naval service, as he has been to the Brigade of Midshipmen. DENNIS EDWARD DUGAN Dugs, as the Toe is known to his classmates, continued to develop his soccer talents learned in his home town of St. Ann, Missouri. His three Varsity letter in that sport along with his participation as the 8ob Hayes of the company football team attest to his excellent athletic ability. Always very easy to get along with, Denny was very well liked by his classmates. His broad grin and indefatigable humor enlivened many of the company parties In his second class year Denny became the fifth man of the company bridge team without neglecting his studies. His willingness to work hard helped Denny to attain many of his goals, occasionally placing him on the Supt's list. This trait along with his keen sense of competition will aid Denny in becoming one of the Naval Services outstanding pilots. 229 - SECOND BATTALION NINTH COMPANY RICHARD EDWARD GLANTZ Rich came directly out of high school from Highland High in Albuquerque. New Mexico, where he lettered in all three major sports, winning All-State honors m football. At the Academy, Rich has continued his devotion for sports. Rich found plebe year to be a new challenge which he overcame with little difficulty. Not an academic slash. Rich worked hard for the Supt's list grades which he received in time for long weekends. Rich has definite aspirations toward flying, and it is only a matter of choosing between Navy and Marine air. No matter which he chooses he will truly be a credit to the Naval Academy. HARLAND WILBER JONES. JR. Hal came to USNA from Wichita, Kansas, but now claims the far western shore of California as home. An excellent athlete, he can boast of an N-star and membership on a National Champion Squash team. Although he never overindulged in his studies and was a regular member at company parties, for which he gained fame for his great humor and quick-relaxing way, he was always up in the grade department. Hal could always be counted on to have something to say, but because of his high speed use of the vernacular you might not understand it until the third time around. An avid bridge player, he had an obsession for wanting to bid slam. This inner drive for wanting to excel should lead to a successful career as a Navy pilot. MICHAEL ALAN JONES 8orn and raised in Decatur. Georgia. Mike is a first, last, and always a Georgia boy. Seemingly destined to attend Georgia Tech., he decided at the last minute to come to USNA. During his four years at the Academy, Mike tried everything from company football to ocean sailing. Coming from the South, it was only natural that Mike was pinned and finally engaged to his high school sweetheart back home. Mike is majoring in Mathematics and hopes to attend post graduate school in the future. Although not sure about the future he presently favors the submarine service. Regardless of the course he sets, Mike can look forward to many happy years in the Navy. WILLIAM JOHN KANE Little fellows are usually associated with having a big heart and Sugar Kane is no exception to the rule. Always ready with a helping hand or his own disarming style of humor, he was a refreshing and welcome con-tribution to the class. Doing well in academics and excelling in athletics were no problem for Bill. However it was at parties that he felt the most at home. Majoring in Naval architecture and fulfilling his duties in the Brigade stripper organization occupied a good deal of his time. Time will prove that good guys always finish first and Bill Kane will be there at the finish to bear this out. Naval aviation and the Naval officer corps in general will benefit by his graduation from the Naval Academy. 230 ■ PHILIP JOHN KATAUSKAS Kat came to Navy from Davison High where he lettered in football and track. A consistent Superintendent's List man. and an active participant in all French Club activities. Phil Still found plenty of time to devote to Navy sports. As a multi-letter winner in Outdoor and Indoor Varsity Track. Phil has left hi$ triumphs and achievements duly noted in the record books. In addition, he has also left many a scar on Mother B as the result of our many indoor lacrosse games. As a p-rade hater from way back, it was rather ironical that he found himself as Brigade Adjutant in the fall set of first class year. Due to his natural ability and diligence, he has managed to work his way up to almost the top of his class. With his many skills and desires, coupled with his initiative and ability to express himself. Phil should do remarkable well in whatever he pursues and the service will 9am an invaluable asset. WALKER DUPREE MOORE The greatest truck diver in '68 entered the Academy a slow-talking, slow-moving. Southern boy who wilt graduate just as slow-talking and slow-moving but leaving an extremely vivid impression on seventeen of his classmates. Known as the Droops”. Dupe and the Duke and many other alias's, he was always the one we came to for help in that Thermo, Physics, or Math problem. Never losing to the challenge of academics, he could readily be found in his natural habitat the blue trampoline. His extreme intelligence, however, never stinted hi$ easygoing, compatible, always smiling, always unlucky personality. Few were the times, indeed, that any of us saw his composure shaken by the anger of frustration. Few were his enemies, many were his friends. He was always accepted warmly into any group and seldom did he fail to greet us with that slow, wide, southern smile. Of all the unforgettable characters among us. he will surely stand out. WILLIAM GOSNELL PAINE. JR. Bill, more commonly known as Goy to his classmates, came from East Lansing, Michigan He could lie found almost every afternoon or weekend sailing on the Chesapeake or other nearby waters. A veteran of the Newport Bermuda Race. 81II spent his Youngster Cruise on the Eagle. An avid reader, he found the foreign affairs and course to his liking. Although Bill has not set any new academic records, his name has appeared on the Supt's list several times. His quiet determination and perseverance will assure Bill a successful future as a Naval officer. MICHAEL RAYMOND POLK Hailing from Tyler. Texas, Porky was proud of it. and let everyone know it. He had two outstanding attributes which combined to make his four years at Navy an easy task. The first was a flair for studies and classes that put him near the top of the class. The second was an easygoing personality which refused to be ruffled or bothered by any of the petty problems that plagued most of us. Like many of his classmates Mike plans to go on to Nuclear Power School. 8ut unlike most of them he'll swear by the conventional boats, probably as the result of his first class cruise on board the Menhaden. From the start he has made at the Academy. Mike should be able to go on to an outstanding career 231 SECOND BATTALION NINTH COMPANY WILLIAM JAMES RIFFER Bill, hailing from Clouis. New Mexico, came to the Naval Academy straight from high school. He was an excellent student who had little trouble with any subject he decided to tackle. Professionally there were few people who could match Bill's knowledge of the Navy. Bif earned his jump wings while at the Academy. He could be counted upon to carry out any job assigned to him with the zest and enthusiasm that were his trade marks here at the Academy. Bill will never be remembered as someone that was short on words. He could talk for a considerable length of time on any conceivable subject. Bill will always be remembered by his classmates as an integral part of the Ninth Company. HENRY EDWARD SCHMIDT. JR. After leaving Princeton, New Jersey, with a brief pause at Bullis Prep. Hank entered the Academy. A star athlete m High School. Hank could be found on the basketball court in the winter and the baseball diamond in the spring. His outstanding ability and hustle earned him a spot on the first string of both squads and made him Captain of the baseball team. Although Hank would have liked to spend his time studying, his fun-loving personality wouldn't let him get too close to the books. Getting along with others was one of Hank's greatest assets in life. Socially, he could always be found where the fun was Hank solved any problems that faced him during his four years at the Academy with a smile. With this attribute, he will be a fine addition to Naval Aviation, and the Officer Corps of the Naval Service. 232 1st CLASSMEN 233 234 2nd SET CDR: CJ. Tamulevich; SUB-CDR: J.D. Ma a; C.P.O.: M.Y.E.

Boylan came to the Academy from South Broward High School. After having done an outstanding job on the swimming team, he was a natural for a position on the Navy squad. A free stylcr, Hal did a fine job on the Plebe team and spent an excellent three years on the Varsity. Hal always seemed to have the right attitude and could be counted upon never to quit in a race -even if he were behind. He was a great contender. Hal's interests academically were mainly within the liberal arts field. He chose the Weapons Department for his minor however, due to practical considerations as to which field would benefit him most as a Naval Officer. Intelligent and well read, Hal never had any trouble with his academics. He still found time for extracurricular activities though, such as LUCKY BAG rep. Hal is considering aviation for his service selection and will hopefully go to Pensacola with his new bride in the fall. He has had a fine four years at the Academy and will be missed by everyone when he is gone. STEPHEN MCLEAN ARLETT Stephen McLean Arlett, who calls a small community in the Piedmont Hills of California his home, came to the Academy fresh out of Oakland Junior College and Columbian Prep. Steve was always actively engaged in sports, and the company basketball team will particularly miss his athletic prowess. One particular facet of life at school always seemed to receive less attention than the others; academics. However. he always seemed to end the semester with above average grades, much to the chagrin of his classmates. Perhaps Steve's greatest asset is his unfailing willingness to help others, no matter what the circumstances. This particular quality will surely be of great benefit to him and those he works with throughout his naval career. As Steve goes out to join his destroyer on the West Coast, his presence will surely be taken note of. t. RICHARD FRANCIS BURNS. JR. Burnsie mastered the many challenges presented by life at USNA after a year at the University of Washington. Never one to find academics the ideal way to spend an evening, Dick none the less, proved to the Engineering Department that he could successfully survive their persistent attacks. Dick was a welcome addition to intramural football, basketball and especially softball where he demonstrated his ability as a team player and an energetic competitor. Even though he kept busy with athletic and academic endeavors. Dick still found time to command the company during the first set and to serve on the Ring Dance Committee. With his warm personality and fun-loving attitude. 8urnsic was always available for a good time, except on those mysterious weekends in which he disappeared to Murray Hill, New Jersey. There's no mystery as to Burnsie's goal after graduation, however, and that's through the Pensacola pipeline to Phantoms. CHRISTOPHER IAN CHISHOLM Chris assaulted the Academy from the DAR, tea party society of Billerica. Massachusetts, armed with a multiplicity of talents, a good sense of humor, and a marked Bostonian accent. He easily accomplished the transition from serene New England countryside to bleak battleship gray. Having been an avid sports fan and loyal supporter of the professional Boston teams for many years, Chris became a valuable and enthusiastic participant in Navy's intramural programs. Although he attacked academics with the same fervor, he was always willing to take a break for a bout with the tube, to recite Park your car in Harvard yard , for a classmate, or for a discussion . With Blue and Gold devotion. Chris has decided to grace the bridge of a tin can where neither his smile nor humor will be tarnished by the salt spray, and he and the sea can become one. Wherever he goes, the Chisholm Trail will be a path to success. 236 RICHARD MARK CURTIS A weary traveler from all parts of California, Rich finally found a home in the deserts of Bakersfield, California. He was a graduate of Salinas High School where he and two Mexicans captained their football team. However, his fluency in the Spanish language failed to carry him through more than three days of plebe football. This loss was a gain for the intramural program where he ably participated in volleyball. Batt football, lightweight football, ficldball. and softball. Girls have always been his favorite pastime, and he met as many as often as he could. No slash academically. Rich found himself improving from a very poor start plebe year. He is held in high regard both as a leader and a friend by all those who know him. His plans to enter the surface line should be a rewarding experience for all those who come into contact with him. JAMES ASHTON DARE, JR. Claiming the state of Virginia as home, Jim came to the Naval Academy with his track shoes in one hand, sliderulc in the other, and a winning smile on his lips, prepared to do the three things he likes best: run, display his intelligence, and seek out members of the opposite sex. Since that time, he has admirably lived up to his promise by becoming captain of the Cross Country Team and lettering in both indoor and Outdoor Track. A habitue of the Superintendent’s and Deans Lists. Jim has made frequent sorties into the hallowed ground of a 4.0, while his success and consistency in dating some of the prettiest girls ever seen around USNA have made him the envy of every red-blooded mid. Jim's drive and winning way will undoubtedly contribute to his already certain future of continued success. JOHN DUFF DICKINSON Outstanding, one in a million, noble, a true gentleman - all these are descriptive of the type of person that John is. Well liked by everyone who knows him, he always managed to maintain a good sense of humor a necessary quality to develop here at the Academy. John always knew what he wanted. With graduation, he will achieve his first goal on the way to becoming a Navy pilot. John managed to have many good times in his Academy years, by dating, playing Company Soccer, football, and baseball, and giving his friends a hard time; good-naturedly of course. John is a sincere and conscientious person and we have all benefited from knowing him. LAWRENCE ALAN GRAY Fresh from two semesters of social training at the University of Maryland. Munich. Germany. Larry came to the Academy only to find the night life disappointingly grim. Undaunted, Larry made the best of it and distinguished himself as one of the more capable party hosts. A graduate of Washington-Lee High School. Arlington, Virginia. Larry was the epitomy of the well-rounded midshipman, displaying a keen interest in everything from the Washington Redskins and Company intramural teams to his destination for an upcoming weekend. Larry found academics to his liking and toyed with the Steam and Skinny departments during his quest for a major in Systems Engineering. Always ready with a friendly helping hand. Larry soon found himself holding extra instruction periods for some of the less fortunate. Well-liked by all who knew him, Larry’s good natured personality will make him an admired individual and respected Naval Officer. 237 SECOND BATTALION TENTH COMPANY DENNIS WAYNE IRELAN Denny hails from Torrance. California, and came to Ihc Academy from North High School where he was a standout athlete. He continued to display his athletic prowess at the Academy, equally at home on a squash court, baseball diamond, or basketball court. Very fleet afoot and having a contagious competitive spirit, Denny was a valuable asset to any team. Despite several bouts with the academic departments, he managed to complete a major in Aeronautical Engineering. No doubt this will stand him in good stead as he aims toward a career in Naval Aviation. When not flying he will no doubt be found jockeying his GTO. His warm sense of humor and ready smile will make Denny a welcome addition to the fleet. WILLIAM HARRY KRAAT2 Bill came to Navy via a military high school near Wheeling, West Virginia. He brought with him a fertile mind, a quick and ready wit, and the optimistic attitude that Navy could be beaten. During his four years by the Severn. Bill managed to have a lot of fun without letting academics stand in the way, and yet still main, tained outstanding grades. He will long be remembered as the Phantom Kite Flyer who was finally apprehended at 2 A.M. on the Fourth Deck ledge of the Sixth Wing, flying his kite. Bill was greatly interested in athletics, playing intramural Company sports. Bill's future plans include the Immediate Masters Program in Physics and possibly Nuclear Power. Bill will always be remembered as the man who was never in a bad mood and always ready to help anyone who needed it. No matter what Bill decides to do or where he is assigned, he will always be a welcome addition and will be sorely missed when he leaves. LEO STEVEN KUEHN Leo's success at the Naval Academy can be attributed to his mature attitude and his fine competitive spirit. During the past four years he has excelled both in the classroom and on the athletic field. Although Russian has been his main interest, he has had little difficulty with the more technical aspects of his education. After a rewarding season on the Plebe Football Team, Leo decided to concentrate his efforts on throwing the discus, lettering both first and second class years. He has also participated in various 8attalion and Company sports during the fall and winter sets, which required a wide range of ability. An extremely easy going individual. Leo possesses the ability to meet any situation in stride and does not often get excited. His mild manner is one of his most noticeable characteristics. Leo plans to enter Naval Aviation upon graduation and from there see what the future brings. DONLEY CHARLES LOGUE. JR. The Log came to the Naval Academy from the bustling city of Hyndman, Pa., which is just up the creek from Frogeye. He attended Hyndman-Londonderry High School, but found USNA somewhat different from old Hy-Lo High. Plebe year was no problem for Log. Seeking to prepare himself for an outstanding Naval career, he chose to minor in Naval Management. Academics never bothered Log one way or the other. Log enjoyed playing basketball and softball. He became well-known as the top fast pitch softball pitcher in the Brigade, when Tenth Company won the Brigade championship his second class year. His free periods found him beneath a heap of blankets in his legendary nest . However, first class year forced him to divide his free time between the nest and the wardroom. His sense of humor and catchy laugh always produced the needed uplift in morale. The future finds Log hoping to get duty as an NFO or as a Line Officer, since his first class cruise on board an oiler convinced him of the virtues of the service fleet. 238 DAVID GEORGE MAXWELL A Navy junior who calls southern California home. Dave came to USNA with his guitar under one arm. He passed through plebe year rather unruffled, while hrs perceptive humor and loud guffaw won him many friends. Max spent most of his afternoons over at Hubbard Hall becoming a major asset to the Severn River Rowing Association and Weight-Lifting club. Academics posed no great threat to Max, a regular on the Superintendent's and Dean's List. Weekends usually found him studying, making things, or pickin' and grinnin' in an impromptu hootenanny. Dave’s sincerity and ingenuity will insure success in whatever he undertakes. JOSEPH DENNIS MAZZA Joe came to the Naval Academy from New Orleans, but calls Glens Falls. New York, his home. Leaving a Navy family, he brought with him a better than average knowledge of military life that made the transition from civilian to midshipmen an easy one. During his four years at Navy Joe waged a continuous cold war with the academic departments, managing to Stay just below the B line and an even colder war with Navy swimming, managing to stay just below the water line. When he wasn't busy trying to stay afloat, he found time to be a member of the plebe fencing team, as well as Battalion squash and Company volleyball and football. On the field or in the courts he displayed a spirit equalled by few. Joe has always shown a loyalty to the Navy and a desire to fly that made hts decision to become a Naval Aviator a natural one. We're sure that his eagerness to make new friends and meet new challenges will assure him a successful future as a Naval Officer WALTER ELLWOOD MCCREARY The Pink Lizard arrived in these hallowed halls beaten down from the rigors of a year at the University of Southern California. Abandoning his year 'round sunshine in Coronado. California, the Lizard was shocked to find that intramural surfing was not offered. Instead, he embarked on a short-lived career in Lacrosse, flashing across the fields of Company football, and groveling through endless hours spent in the wrestling loft Lizard belatedly found his place on the volleyball team. Mac’s true sports talents were usually displayed only on the weekends, however, Many a smoke-filled room will attest to his occupation during study hours. His presence was always detectable from the clouds continually billowing from one of his ever burning pipes. At least a portion of his nights were dedicated to academics, rather than his practice of various skills learned over the years. A Naval Aviator from the beginning, the Lizard is destined to fly high. EDWARD CHARLES MCGOWAN. JR. Cork came to the Naval Academy after graduating from high school in Taiwan. Plagued by the Math and Science departments. Cork managed to visit the Academic Board often enough to almost be on a first name basis with its members. He was particularly noted for his hair and his ability to come up with nicknames which nearly always stuck. The latter ability very often brought retaliation in the form of wrestling matches, which nearly always found him on the bottom. Athletically, Cork's graceful leaping form was always found supporting his company on the playing field. Socially, Cork had the often marvelled-at ability to attrack some of the most beautiful girls ever to be dragged at the Naval Academy. Although Cork's dancing often reminded his classmates of a chicken scratching, he was always in the thick of it. Cork's enthusiasm will undoubtedly make him a valuable asset to the fleet. 239 SECOND BATTALION TENTH COMPANY MARC YVE EUGENIO PELAEZ Since coming to the Academy from his hometown of Coral Gables, Florida. Marc has certainly made fine progress. In an attempt to outdo his boyhood hero, Zorro, he joined the fencing team and surprised no one by earning his Varsity letter. Marc was always working hard at his studies, at running Plebes or at bagging it . In between times he always had a cheerful smile for everyone and displayed a generous heart. Marc plans to get married soon after gradution, and to enter Nuclear Power School. He will certainly have his hands full, but his abilities, determination and confidence arc sure to overcome all difficulties. RICHARD ALAN DOMENICK PETRINO Rich, a native of Huntington, Long Island, will always be remembered by his classmates and the entire Brigade. Knowing him as he is self-conscious, jovial, and a friend in need, gives one a sense of pride. The Academy looks for well-rounded individuals, and no one fills the bill better than he. An honor student and all around athlete in high school, he continued his success in both endeavors at Navy, being on the Supt's list every semester, and winning a first team linebacker slot on the Varsity football team, until an unfortunate injury occurred his second class year. An active member of the Glee Club, Choir. Newman Club, and the Spiffys, in which he sang lead, his extra-curricular activities were well rounded. Last on the list of extra-curricular activities were girls, where Rich made th old proverb concerning Italian lovers a fact. His first class cruise was spent on an excahrvgc program in Denmark, and word has it that the place will never lie the same. His recognition by the Brigade and the Executive Department was shown by the fact that Rich was the Class of 1968 six striper. JEFFREY NEWTON PUNCHES Jeff, affectionately known as The Worm , slithered here all the way from Billings. Montana. Upon graduation from high school in Aurora, Colorado. Jeff entered the Academy. Strangely enough, his best grades were made during the rigors of Plebe Year, from then on, he seems to have taken things a little less seriously. Known best for mailing weather balloons and black jelly beans to certain girls, and his nightly bout with the Mouse , Worm has come up with many diversions to help time fly between his frequent visits to Syracuse. He has, however, found time to complete mirors in both Aerostructurcs and Naval Operations Analysis. Jeff's athletic prowess and competitive spirit have made him a valuable member of the company intramural teams for the past four years. Worm's sticktoitiveness in whatever venture he embarks upon, plus his wife-to-be. should both prove great assets to him in a planned future as a Phantom jockey. GREGORY HENRY RONCHETTI Travelling to the Academy from the hub of the midwest. Mat toon, Illinois. Ronch adapted readily to the festive airs of Annapolis. Unable to pursue his developing expertise in road racing, Ronch elected to continue with his wrestling talents, from which Plebe and 8attalion teams prospered. Academics were really no problem for Greg, who often spent hours of intense concentration each night, occasionally studying. His time not entirely enveloped by the rigors of athletics and schoolwork, the grey bear was frequently to be found dealing with the problems of an empty mailbox. Always ready to make Academy life seem more like home, he often oscillated between his cocoon and the nearby, but not nearby enough, wardroom. Dedicated to the field of Naval Aviation. Ronch delved into applications of flight in various forms. Experienced gained in the arts learned in his four years will undoubtedly establish him as a welcome addition to Navy Air. 240 JOSEPH MARTIN SOLYMOSSY Joe, known in later years as the Hulk , left the pleasant city of New Berlin, Wisconsin, to seek his fortune in the Navy. Fortune he didn't find, but the submarine program gained a well-qualified future officer. In 1966 he sailed to Bermuda aboard ROYONA and made a Gulf stream underwater venture in order to keep the Roy afloat long enough to make Bermuda. His luck changed, however, and he became a member of the MAREDIA crew which put Navy on the top of the list after the Annapolis-Ncwport Race. He became the Squadron Commodore and kept on sailing with MAREDIA during her victorious races on the Chesapeake. Sailing, however, did not keep him from doing well in other ventures. The academic world saw him maintain a Supt's List rating his last three years, while being active in the German Club. The Scuba Club also carried him as an active member. All work and no play was certainly not his motto. Sailing, diving, dragging, or conning a YP, he was always at his best. The Navy will certainly have a hearty welcome aboard for this fine officer. CARL JOSEPH TAMULEVICH Everyone in the Brigade at one time or another has either spoken or heard the name, Tammy, whether it be in the Hall or out on the athletic field. After spending a year at Holy Cross and then at NAPS, Tam came to the Academy with a string of athletic awards that promised sports fans here a lot of action, and indeed, Tammy has been cheered on as one of the Navy football team's toughest fullback, as well as being recognized nation-wide for his All-American performances as one of the country's top lacrosse players. An All-American both on and off the field, Tammy hasn't allowed the demands of the military life to affect his quick sense of humor, ready smile, or his quest for the finer things in life. Weekend liberty time seldom found this fellow too close to the yard. Among his many interests are golf and handball, but for a natural athlete, interests lie in anything that suggests competition, and so it was for Tam. Never to be outdone in friendship or warmth, Tammy has made life-long friends in every phase of his midshipman career, and it seems certain that his success will follow him every step of his future. DONALD SHERIDAN VTIPIL Viper , as he is known throughout the Brigade, came here directly out of Allegheny High School in Pittsburgh. Pa. His sense of humor has contributed much to the company and he has had a hand in several Pep Rallies and football game skits. Rarely a night went by that someone didn't drop by Don's room for a study break and some entertainment. Don's ability to ham it up and keep spirits high helped him get through the Academy with ease. Although he was active in the BAC and in intramural sports, his grades never suffered and he was always a candidate for the Supt's List. He plans marriage and a career as a Naval Aviator. The aviation program will sure benefit from his talents. 241 PETER JOSEPH VANDERLOFSKE During our four years at Navy, wrestling has had as much success as any other sport. Pete VanDerlofske has made and enjoyed a large portion of that success. From St. James, Long Island, where Pete only lost one match during his three years in high school, he came to add the same spark to Coach Perry's team. A standout wrestler during all three years on Navy's Varsity team, his competitive spirit made him one of the most consistent winners. Although readily apparent to all who know him, athletic ability was definitely not Pete's only outstanding attribute. An easy going, unselfish nature made him a well-known and well-liked classmate. As was the case with many of us, he occasionally ran into a few obstacles with the academic departments but always managed to come out on top. With hopes of entering aviation upon graduation, without a doubt Pete will be an asset SECOND BATTALION TENTH COMPANY ..... '■V !y ' i 10 Z 8 Jl PAUL BERGER WOLFORD Paul, belter known as Wolfman, came to us from Crosby. Minnesota. It is debatable whether the town or Paul was more excited over the appointment. In his first three years Paul rowed lightweight crew and was known as the smallest rower on the team. He was also active in numerous extracurricular activities including. Glee Club, Concert Band. French Club, Chapel Choir and the USNA chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. His success in attaining an Aerospace Major, made him content to play company sports and leave the well traveled road behind him first class year. The future will find Paul on his way to Pensacola where he will surely make his mark. A more easy going guy you will never find. His willingness to help and his consideration of others will long be remembered by his friends. CHARLES WILLIAM WHITE Bill came to the Naval Academy from Stowe High School in McKees Rocks. Pa. He lettered in basketball and football there and decided to play football for Navy. He played plcbe ball and then spent two years on the J.V. and Varsity squads. Bill was also interested in weight lifting and fieldball during the off season. Bill's academic interests were mainly in the scientific fields. He did a cancer research project under the cognizance of the National Science Foundation which led him to select electrical science as his field of endeavor here at the Academy. Since the wires courses did not fulfill his expectations, however, he switched to Nuclear Physics and followed up this course of study through graduation. He became a member of Sigma Psi Sigma his first class year. Bill intends to become a Naval Aviator and will go to Pensacola in the fall. He is leaving behind many friends, and all of us wish him the best of luck m the future. 242 1 st CLASSMEN 243 244 2nd SET CDR: T.D. Pestorius; SUB-CDR: M.W. O'Neil; C.P.O.: I.G.

Boom has a casual, funloving, likeable character that wins him many friends. An avid skier he can also be found singing in thechoiror playing Company sports. Jim, coming to Navy directly from high school, arrived with and still possesses a desire to go into the multiengine branch of Navy Air m which he will certainly prove to be a capable officer. JERRY WAYNE CRAWFORD Known on sight as The Monk , Jerry came to the Academy via Evergreen Park. III., and NAPS, his principal interest being football and people. After a tough loss to Dago his first year, he has since stayed on the right side of the everpresent 2.0. Never much for the books. The Monk could always be counted on to find something to occupy his time, his favorite pastimes being the pad. a good bridge game, or a bull session. On weekends these pastimes expanded to include the fair sex and the search for a longer and steeper ski slope. After an injury took his second love, rugby, away from him, the Monk became a tough competitor in company sports: soccer, basketball, and softball. A fighter from the start. Jerry could always be counted on to give his all, on the athletic field or for a friend. His friendly manner and love of life have made Jerry many friends in his stay here at the Academy. These traits together with his determination and his strong will to win, make this hopeful jet jockey a sure success in his future career.

Duiton came to USNA directly from high school, and the Naval Reserve in Norfolk. Eddie's proficiency in Naval Science and general knowledge of the fleet earned him his nickname. Never having too much trouble in academics, he was on and off the Supt’s list, depending upon which semester he had his running test. Not being much of a lady's man he was a weekend wardroom regular He is a Strong proponent of Navy line and thinks that destroyers are the only way to fly. TIMOTHY MICHAEL FRANK Coming to the Naval Academy directly from high school in Cincinnati. Tim began his active participation in the Drum and Bugle corps at the start of plebe summer. Tim remained active in the D 8 during all four of his years at the academy and took part in many D B shows During his four Academy years. Tim never was one to sweat academics. He studied very little during the week and never, never on a weekend, but he always came up with good grades. This ability always impressed anyone who knew him. On weekends all throughout the year, if Tim wasn't dragging some cutie. he could always be found running around the halls trying to rustle up a touch football game Girls and touch football were Tim's favorite pastimes. Tim was very active in Company sports, especially football and softball. During every free period in his academic schedule. Tim could usually be found in his pad posting the overhead integrity watch.

THOMAS DEAN HARDIN Tom came to the Academy from San Bar-nadino. California, the place that produces an overabundance of every worthy item (to which Tom will readily testify') A high school standout in athletics, Tom contributed both his ability and his highly competitive spirit to the intramural football, basketball, softball and handball teams This attitude was not confined to the athletic field, for he continually encouraged his Company to fight for every extra point in the Company Color Competition. Tom did not allow the stern threat of Navy academics to ruin his evenings. Rather he preferred to spend his study time in a stimulating bridge game or an impromptu wrestling match. If someone breathed the word party. Tom was on the spot In fact chances were better than even that he organized it' A classmate in need of a weekend drag could always count on Tom to produce a good telephone number from somewhere in his neatly categorized address book. Tom's 20 100 vision blurred his original hopes of becoming a Naval Aviator However, his initiative anti perseverance assure him a successful career in any branch of the Naval Service he chooses. CHARLES BARTON HENKE Ask anyone from Temple who’s their favorite native son at the USNA and there'll be but one answer. Chuck. This is mainly because he is the first Middie from Temple since 1938. though. Barton has been quite a well known figure on the intramural fields for football, rugby, and field-ball. three contact sports in which he matle some pretty good contact with his 190 pound frame. A major in Systems Engineering. Chuck has com-piled plenty of log time in Ward Hall's computer labs both with his own work and that of friend in need. It is almost impossible to catch him at a time when he will not stroll over to the labs and show you where your basic problems arise in your program. A great party-maker, the big man gives others a lift with his jovial manner and carefree attitude. Navy line gained an outstanding prospect when Chuck's eyes began to weaken. He will undoubtedly be a success in his coming years. All with whom he comes in contact will definitely prosper just from having known him. 247 SECOND BATTALION ELEVENTH COMPANY GARY JOEL HIRSCH Coming from a Navy family and the son of a Canoe U. graduate Gary immediately got into the swing of things plcbc summer as our platoon chaplain. His immaculate personal appearance, closely cut hair, and bright shoes were a source of inspiration to us all. A very original individual. Gary's unique taste of music and clothes was another source of envy. His quick wit and easy going personality were a welcome addition to our many ring dips, study periods and post game parties. Sports-minded and an able competitor, Gary enjoyed playing company soccer and fieldball In the spring it was not unusual to see him limping back to Mother B after a bruising rugby game. On free afternoons, Gary could often be seen in his rubber suit adhering to a self enforced physical fitness program. His other interests, wine, women, song, and the blue trampoline are common to us all. Gary's fun loving nature never permits anything to Stand in the way of a good time. His dedication can only lead to a successful naval career. LANCE CAMERON HORNE Lance, hailing from West Palm Beach. Fla„ came to Navy via Columbia Prep, in Washington, O.C.

His leadership potential did not go unnoticed and he was captain of the tennis team. His first class year Lance leaned towards Navy line, destroyers in particular, the surface Navy will gain an able and highly competent officer when Lance joins the fleet after graduation. ALEXANDER LAI Alex came to USNA from Sacramento City College where he had studied Engineering. A quiet individual. Alex spent most of his time trying to better himself and increase his professional knowledge. During his time at the Academy Alex saw much more of the Navy than his classmates by taking part in voluntary summer programs, such as submarine cruises and Scuba school. As a person who prides himself on his physical condition, Alex has participated in lightweight crew and various company sports. Although he has not made a definite decision as to what part of the Navy he will choose, he looks forward to a successful naval career. IVAN GENE LARSH Coming to USNA from that great midwest metropolis of Winner, South Dakota, with a dream of flying Phantoms, Iggy could be found many a night during plebe year with a math book clutched between his hands making noises that strangely sounded like a jet plane in a dogfight. With his quiet, easygoing personality and his willingness to help others Ivan quickly became one of the best liked and most respected men in the company. On Sundays, Ivan could be found singing in the choir and at other times he would be running around the country, supposedly singing with the Glee Club, but actually having a lot of fun. With his ability to get along with anyone and his professional competence, Ivan will be both successful and happy in his chosen career. 248 ANTHONY RUSSELL MEDLEY Coming from the hills of Monterey. Tennessee, Tony never let us forget how great the south is. Ton's ability to slash out in academics was a great asset towards company points. Although he didn't appreciate swimming at USNA he made his mark in playing intramural football. With his natural inclination towards hunting and outdoor living, what better branch of the service could there be for Tony than the Marine Corps? His determination to graduate from the academy was only surpassed by his desire to be an officer of the Corps. The service most certainly will be getting a dedicated and highly competent officer when Tony graduates in June. WILLIAM MICHAEL MULHOLLAND Bill, better known as the Mule, was born and raised in the City of Brotherly Love. After developing a reputation as a top oarsman in Philly, he decided to give Navy a break and donate his services which were much indeed A three year letterman in crew. Mule's devotion to the sport and his blistered hands were the source of much admiration. When not on the river, the Mule kept busy by working for the Brigade Activities Committee. Basically a mild-mannered and low-voiced individual (from whence his name Byahn of the Thousand Mouths camel. Mule could often be seen offering constructive criticism and advice to the lowly plcbes. A witty and humorous personality became a trait during his four years of conscientious study Mule loved books (as long as they were on the shelf) and his patience with electrical Skinny problems amazed us all. Mules favorite pastimes included the TV in the wardroom, and chaperoning parties. A great, quiet, reserved guy. Mule will be a real credit to his ring and to the Naval profession. MICHAEL WILLIAM O'NEIL Born in Corpus Christi. Texas, and having lived no one place in particular since that time Mike has been an outstanding example of the well-rounded, intelligent young man that can be raised in a Navy family. The son of an airdale. Mike entered the Academy with hopes at following the same path, only to have his dreams shattered by not too perfect eyesight. As Snoopy’s numqer one fan at the Academy, Mike has spent many a day and night drawing Peanuts cartoons. Mike has given four years of untiring effort to the Popular Music Concert committee, which he headed as a firstie. Even the Supt's list has fallen victim to O'Neil and his exploits, as he has managed to overcome many academic obstacles to gain a position on this select list. Between his conquests in the world of women and his creations in the world of Snoopy. Mike should manage, with very little trouble, to make it through the officer ranks to the top. Who knows, he'll probably be our first CNO with 20-100 vision. DWIGHT SCOTT PATTEE Scott, hailing from Holliday. Utah, came to USNA direct from high school. Plcbe year, although being quite demanding, did not keep him from doing well in the academic departments. Through four years at Navy Scott has maintained a good Q.P.R. Being from the Rocky Mountain area, Scott is a great proponent of skiing. He was always ready to discuss the many outstanding points of that sport and jumped at every opportunity to spend a day or two on the slopes. Scott hopes to enter the NFO Program after graduation. Naval aviation will gain a very able and competent officer. 249 SECOND BATTALION ELEVENTH COMPANY THOMAS DANIEL PESTORIUS Coming to the Naval Academy from Rochester, New York, Tom never had any problems getting along with anyone. An always consistent student Tom made sure he was on theSupt's list whenever it counted. As Chairman of our Ring Dance he handled all the problems with the ease of a practiced Master of Ceremonies. An excellent athlete, he was always able to excel in any sport he put his mind to. Always ready to help a friend in need, Tom was the type of guy people liked and enjoyed being with. In his chosen career of aviation he will be a definite asset to the Naval Service and a welcome addition to any unit he becomes attached to. THOMAS HOWELL PETERSEN Tom, known to his cohorts as Pete , came out of High school to Mother Bancroft from his hometown of Wheaton, Illinois. Pete has always maintained a high standard in both academics and athletics. He has the distinction of making Supt's list six semesters running. As a competitor. Pete has been the backbone of the Company volleyball, basketball, and softball teams. In spite of his ceaseless quest for academic enlightenment, Pete could always be relied on as a fourth for a round of bridge or as a contributor to the nightly bull session. An almost Overwhelming blow was dealt to him during first class year by the Commissary Department when it took Wheaties off the breakfast table. He managed however to survive the shock. Tom's plans upon graduation unchanged for four long years are to be a ground pounding Marine. He has the stubbornness and drive to attain any goal he desires. KENNETH EDWARD PYRZ There are only a few people at the Naval Academy who have their names pronounced incorrectly by everyone and Kenny, the Proud Polack, is one of the chosen few. A standout in every area while in high school, the price continued to excel here at Navy, both in the classroom and on the athletic field. He played plebe football and baseball and was on the varsity baseball team for two years until that monster of first class year, the creeping coast, caught up with him. Known to have a good joke on hand. Ken has provided many laughs for those around him, while also managing to keep himself in the best of temperament. There have been many days and nights when Kenny has served as company academic coordinator helping any one with their studies. Kenny a Nuclear Power hopeful should go far, if the crew can ever get his ship clean enough for him! KENNETH ALAN RAGLIN Coming to the Academy from Indiana, Rags managed to display the spirit of Hoosier Hysteria in his every activity. He impressed both peer and senior alike with his determination and ability to accomplish any task. From the very start of plebe year it was evident that Rags would have little trouble achieving the outstanding grades that he maintained during his four years. Not one to withhold his talents. Rags could invariably be found helping others with their studies. Along with his academic achievements. Rags was a constant leader in company sports. On any given afternoon during the week. Rags could be found on the basketball court or in the pool practicing for his swimming test, which he so dearly loved. Weekends, Rags believed, were a time for fun and fun only; a time to be filled with girls, parties, and good times. It was a rare liberty call that found Rags unprepared. Whatever his choice, he will be a welcome addition to the naval service. 250 WILLIAM MICHAEL SULLIVAN. Ill Bill, alias Billy, Sully, Stick and Big Red was a boy genius who hails from Boston. Mass. Having decided to devote his life to the Navy, he entered USNA straight from high school. Because of his mental alertness, he never had trouble with the books. The core courses were no challenge to him so he spent his spare time listening to Bob Dylan and Mickey B'tslco and to sleeping, at which he excelled. We thoroughly enjoyed his discourses on whatever it was he was telling about. His personal appearance and conduct always set a fine example for the underclass. This so pleased the Officers of the Executive Department that they assigned him to extra musters on weekends just to show off. He donated the physical side of his Academy life to the lightweight crew team for which he lettered three times. He could also be found helping a classmate in academic difficulty or helping a plcbe develop himself. Bill was a terror with the fourth class. His finest quality is his sincerity and his allegiance to friends. A person couldn’t have a better friend than Sully. Whatever he decides to do. the branch of service he chooses will be fortunate indeed to have him. RICHARD WITTICH THOMPSON This mild mannered Mid left Colfax, California for Bancroft Hall which has a population of about four times as great as his northern California hometown. Rick brought with him many things including academic and athletic prowess. Most important, however, was the quality of his personality with which he won many friends As an avid skier (both water and snow). Rick has often mourned the lack of time available for the pursuit of his favorite sport. But making good use of his time while at USNA. Rick added much to the company basketball and softball teams and the battalion football team. While he spent much of his time with the books, as evidenced by his permanent place on the Supt's list, Rick always had time to talk to a friend or accept a challenge to a bridge game. In fact Rick's one major nemesis was playing bridge; the cards just wouldn't fall to him Rick's professional attitude and competence assures him that, whatever career he chooses he will hwe much success, thus disproving that old adage that nice guys finish last. ROGER P. WANIATA Hailing from Great Falls. Montana, The Indian had two years at New Mexico Military Institute under his belt before coming to USNA. A promising football career was put to an end plebe year when Rog ran into knee trouble. However, many will remember him as the terror of the Battalion football team. In his academic endeavors Rog spent most of his time in the English. History and Government department. There was never any love lost between Rog and the Science or Math Departments, but he did excel in the field of Foreign Affairs. During most of first class year. Rog was busy fulfilling his duties as chairman of the Honor 8oard. He instituted many changes m the Honor Concept and brought it up to date. The Marine Corps is a definite service selection for Rog. He will surely be an asset to the Corps and the Naval Service. SHERMAN E. WRIGHT. JR. Witty, sincere, and loveable are adjectives which best describe Skip. A Navy junior and a born leader. Skip hails from Jacksonville. Florida. On the way to the Academy, he stopped off for a year at Bullis Prep. During plebe summer he excelled in boxing and continued to excel m company and battalion sports. Hi$ ability to bounce back from Navy good deals amazed us all. as he set restriction records that shall enshrine him forever in the hearts of the Exec. Dept. Possessing a high intelligence. Skip never had trouble with the books and was always available to those of us less-fortunate. His warm humor and wit added to our four years here and will add to any wardroom in the fleet. 251 1 St CLASSMEN 252 2nd SET CDR: R.B. Knode; SUB-CDR: R.A. Rinaldi; C.P.O.: A.G.

Encumbered with this monumental handicap Michael Thomas Boyce arrived at the Academy after a year at the University of Washington 3nd proceeded to nose out all competition in academics, athletics, and in the social world. His intelligence, leadership ability, sense of humor, and great desire to become a Naval Aviator will make him as much of an asset to the Naval service as he has been to the Academy and his class. WILLIAM STANTON CLARK. JR. Bill, a native of Chicago's South Side, came to us after spending a year of fun and frolic at the University of Illinois. He had little trouble adjusting to the rigors of ptebe year and youngster year soon found him back to hi$ old ways of light hearted living. Academics ga e him little trouble. The end of the semester usually found him on Supt's list and occasionally on Dean's list. The ease with which he achieved his grades left him time for the pursuit of more pleasant things, such as liberty, a bull session, or a good pinochle game. It has been said that his pinochle game is second only to that of a certain classmate who taught him the game. Bill also found time to participate in Operation Information several times. He became quite proficient in his favorite sports, intramural crew and track. A happy-go-lucky fellow who knows how to enjoy the finer things in life. Bill is certain to be a success in his chosen field. Navy Air. LELAND RAY BARBER Lee. sober, somber and studious experienced his cultural awaking at the ring dip second class year Whatever vestige of his old conservatism remained were soon erased by his first class year roommate. His new outlook on life was reflected in his taste in wine, women and wheels. Always a big man in company and battalion sports. Lee also loomed large on the academic horizon. In his chosen field of Nuclear Power. Lee is sure to be a big success, not only because of his academic prowess, but also because of his leadership abilities, sense of humor and strong will power. JOHN RICHARD BROOKE Coming to USNA from California, the land of fun and sun, John traded his surfboard for a rifle and the rigors of military life. Plebe year i osed no problems so he moved on to bigger and better things. Academics and sports fell right in line leaving plenty of time for his participation in the weekend get togethers. Never to be without a girl, be she of east or west coast origin. John managed to break the monotony of campus life around old Annapolis Town. With the command of number 12 he led us through the battles of the drill field in that last glorious year As things stand, the Navy's loss will be the Marine Corps gam. Whatever he chooses. John's strong leadership qualities and his winning personality assure him of nothing but success. 254 RICHARD LEWIS COLEMAN Dick came to the Academy from Hawaii, aod holds the dubious distinction of being the only army brat in the company Because of his travels with his family through Southeast Asia, Dick is the company authority on Asia countries and their politics, however, for his first two years here, he had trouble convincing the Academic Departments that he knew anything at all. Dick soon saw the light after Youngster year, or maybe it was iust his desire for extra weekends with that girl he fell in love with at the Army game. At any rate, his name started appearing on the Supt’s list with surprising regularity. Dick plans to go Navy line upon graduation, after marrying that same girl. We know the destroyer he's aboard will never be the same. ALLAN J. COSTLOW From the bustling metropolis of Sidman (it's somewhere near Johnstown) Pennsylvania, came Allan J. Costlow, alias Big Al 3nd Fat Albert. After a short year at Columbian Prep School, courtesy of the sponsors of the Big blue team , Al plunged into the rigors of plebe year and came out scarred only by the memory of a couple close calls in the skinny department. With the plebe experience behind him academics took a definite upturn and Al turned his attention to making the most of his weekends. Outside of one sad episode with the Executive Department. these weekends were successful and buoyed Al through the tempest of his upperclass years. Somewhere between his shmg-a-lmg, skate, boog-a-loo, and flunkey lessons, Al decided on Navy Air. HERMAN LEE DANTZLER. JR. Herman, better known to his friends as Lee. came to the Naval Academy from Walterboro. South Carolina. He brought with him an appetite unequaled in the history of Annapolis. Food was only one of his primary interests, though he was equally enthusiastic about Corvettes and. of course, girls Immediately after Plebe Year. Lee became one of the Pad Monster's favorite victims. In his last two years as a Midshipman, he also became well-known (especially by the Plebes) for his rigorous enforcement of the Plebe Indoctrination System. Always excelling m academics, he even found a way around them by becoming a Trident Scholar. Whatever branch of the Navy Lee decides to enter should profit considerably from his professional enthusiasm and fine abilities. ROBERT WILLIAM EBERTH Bob was originally from Hamilton. Ohio, and came to the Naval Academy from the enlisted ranks of the Navy. He brought with him a sense of professionalism that served him well throughout his years as a midshipman. Although Bob was small in stature, he made up for this m his enthusiasm for the Academy and its traditions. He had the singular honor of being one of the few to go from a not-too-spcctacular plebe running test to complete validation of the youngster and second class runs. He had several Other distinctive traits, among which his ability to be in debt only hours after pay day. He had his own system of revolving credit that would do the Federal Reserve honor Bob and his coffee mug were inseparable: one could almost always sense his appraoch by the fumes of hours-old coffee. 8ob did quite well in academics and exceptionally well at professional tasks. He will be a valuable asset to whatever branch of the Navy he enters. 255 SECOND BATTALION TWELFTH COMPANY JOHN DENNIS HANRAHAN Born in Montano, J. Dennis Hanrahan arrived at the Naval Academy via California and Virginia after a brief look at the real college life at the University of Montana. His social life being somewhat restricted during his first year at the Academy, Den bore down under the rigors of plebc year, making a very successful transition from civilian to military life. His next three years were spent celebrating all Irish holidays and festivities, working with NAFAC. and competing actively in athletics and in the social circle. With his commission Den plans to head for Pensacola to earn his wings, then fly the Phantom, If his past record is any record of what his future holds the Navy has gained a promising and capable Naval Officer and Aviator. RICHARD BRIAN HEPLER Imagine a slow moving, easy going, gullible country lad from West Virginia shuffling down the hall, looking at nothing in particular but always ready to smile and there it will bring to mind Haps Always fast moving at company parties, Brian was noted for his ability to handle company paperwork, to study, for receiving letters from somebody's mother, and having a wide assortment of goodies in his Dirty Dozen mug on his dish. Knowing Brian is a pleasure and no one could ever say they didn't like him. In June the Naval Service will obtain a hard working officer in Brian. Navy Air, especially jets, is his fancy and with his ability and some West Virginia luck, he'll be one of the best. RONALD BARRY KNODE Ron, journeying all the way from Anacostia. D. C. to attend the Naval Academy, entered as an all-American High School hot dog. Since that first day Ron has achieved excellence in academics, aptitude, and athletics. His frail frame has earned him letters in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track. His name has appeared on the Dean's list semester after semester. Ron was never one to be tied down on Saturday night. Every weekend he could be seen carousing, drinking cokes like water, and dancing wildly at a hop. As a plebc he was going steady, as a youngster he was pinned, as a second class he was engaged, and as an Ensign he will undoubtedly tie the knot. Navy line will definitely be bolstered by the acquisition of Node. JOHN LEWIS KOSICH Coming East from the relatively obscure town of Billings, Montana, Lew arrived at the Naval Academy with guitar in one hand and cowboy boots in the other. Times have changed the former mountain boy and though he doesn't leave with a flower in each hand, his adoption to our eastern ways is miserable. Len distinguished himself by being in a very select group of two or three midshipmen who signed up for three semesters of Core Physics rather than the regular two. His pursuit of academic excellence in the growing scientific field was recommended by the Admiral and the Dean, respectively. It was also in this, his third class year, that he lost one roommate first semester and his other roommate second semester. One of the last of the pleasure seekers. Len was always willing to give up a few hours of needless study for a good time. 256 MICHAEL DENNIS UGINO Mike, better known as Ligs. came to Navy from Illinois via New Mexico Military Institute. An energetic participant in sports in high school and at 'NIMI Ligs found that most of his winter afternoons were spent on the varsity basketball court where he could be counted on to help Navy on to bigger and better seasons During the remainder of the year, his talents were channelled toward company sports where they were deeply appreciated. His desire to see the Big Blue win never faltered, and often inspired us. Academics never came easy for Ligs and his grades often didn't reflect the many long hours that he spent studying. However, this was just part of his earnest desire to succeed. Ligs' interesting sense of humor never seemed to be dampened by Navy, although his cap did almost go through the window a couple of times. A straight face was often turned up by his presence. Navy line, if he so desires, will certainly gam a valuable officer when Ligs enters the fleet. ALAN GAMBLE LINBERGER Crazy Al as he has come to be called by those who knew him, joined the Class of '68 fresh from St. Peter's High School m Florida's garden spot. Hoping to become the Navy's ace P-3 pilot. Al undertook his studies with vigor and has worn stars throughout his years at the Academy. His talents and aggressiveness were not only viewed on the soccer, fieldball and softball fields but on the dance floor as well. He brightened the atmosphere of many a company party with his sack of feathers dancing abilities. Even mids that eat at opposite ends of the Mess Hall have come to know Al by the sheer volume of his voice if not by sight. Those who know realize that there is something wrong when they have to listen to hear his pleasant and humorous voice. Overall. Al’s devotion to duty and proficiency at accomplishing any task will indeed be two future assets to the Navy when Al embarks upon a career as an NFO. KEVIN THOMAS MOORE Kevin, Rottenfoot Moore came to USNA from an obscure village west of New York. South Orange. New Jersey. In his four years at Navy, he was never able to overcome his Jersey accent, Kevin adjusted easily to the Academy life, and soon realized that since he hadn't time for everything he must learn to concentrate on the important things, liberty and the pad. In spite of his desire to have a good time his love for Navy prevailed, for Kevin managed to make good grades, and even the Supt's list one semester. While at the academy Kevin distinguished himself m three areas. The first was in setting second class records, for both number of particulars on one room inspection (18). and number of consecutive Saturday formats from the company officer. The second was his tremendous success in dating Baltimore girls. The third, and most outstanding, was his tendency to become sea Sick. He would wake up green on the days he had YP's and by the time the bow line was taken in Kevin could be found at his accustomed post, the rail on the fantail. STEPHEN MICHAEL OWEN Steve (alias Earnm. Smo, Buck, or T.H.E. Hawk) came to the hallowed halls of Navy from the booming metropolis of Hawthorne. Nevada. Having no difficulty making the transition from high school to the rigors of plebe year. Steve soon became a permanent member of company sports teams. During his Youngster and Second class years. Hawk was a regular either at those parties in town or those meetings with the BOOW. Spanish was Steve's academic field, though he also spent many happy hours in the pad or watching the tube . Canoe U's loss will be Navy Lines gain m June. Whatever the future brings. Steve's wit and great spirit will carry him through. 257 SECOND BATTALION TWELFTH COMPANY RONALD ALBERT RINALDI Ron came to the Naval Academy from Brooklyn, New York, fat and cocky. Plebc year did away with both of those characteristics and he s considered by all one of the nicest guys in the class. Ron was always active in every facet of brigade life, but hts intelligence stood out above all other attributes. Undoubtedly he would have graduated with straight A's except for the fact that at night he could usually be found cither helping someone else with their homework or taking part in the local card game. His Academic excellence was suitably rewarded when in his first class year he was chosen as a Trident scholar, on honor accorded to very few. On the weekends The Rat usually found time for the young ladies. A fellow who was tops in everything who also managed to get a lot of fun out of life. Ron will surely be a success in the Navy. HARRY TAYLOR RITTENOUR Harry, better known as Ritt to his classmates, came to USNA from Piketon, Ohio. Of all the memories, he will be remembered by his classmates most (aside from being a loyal Buckeye fan) for his ability to continually defeat Navy academics. Plebe year gave him the desire to play for the Big Blue . Unfortunately, an injury early in the season kept him out of action. What the 8ig Blue lost, his company gained for he quickly established himself as a leader on many Company and Batt teams. His competitive spirit made him a source of inspiration to all his teammates. Socially, he had many many woman problems. His first two years he never had enough and his last two years he had too many. If he ever makes up his mind and chooses one. it will truly amaie us all. Professionally, Ritt was the First Regimental Commander, and to us he will always be known as our five-strij er . After graduation, whether he chooses Navy Air or Navy Line, we know one thing for sure - Harry will be a success in whatever he docs. JOSEPH PETER SCIABARRA Ski , as he was called by his classmates, came directly to USNA from high school. As a native of Brooklyn, you could always distinguish Joe by his affluent N.Y. accent. Being a prominent member of the battalion track team and company lightweight football team made Ski a natural slash for plebe year. His strong desire to excel led him to distinguish himself both athletically and academically. In track he was always an easy winner. Pushing for the intramural record in the half mile, he missed it by a few tenths in his second class year, and chased it all during first class year. One of these days we know he will make up those tenths. Academically, Ski started out slowly his plebe year but caught fire and blamed his way to Supt’s list and Dean's list his second class year. He was an active member in both the Newman and German clubs. Physics was his major and upon graduation he is heading to Pensacola and aviation training. How Physics will help him, the world still wonders, but we know that Joe will have a brilliant career in the air. ROBERT MITCHELL SCOTT Swept from a small farm town in South Carolina. Bob entered the Naval Academy with a sarcastic smile. He gave many an academic Professor a hard time. They tried hard to give him a 'B' but Bob fought all but six of them off. Since Bob was never an athletic spartan. Navy got back at him in P.T. Bob just loved to drink the water from the swimming pool. In his youngster year Bob was affectionately nicknamed Bebo. Bebo had one bad problem. He couldn't leave anything he didn't understand alone, especially radios. After graduation, 8ebo will leave for the University of California with a flower in his hair and a slipstick in his hand. Whatever Bebo studies in P.G. School, he is sure to make great advances for the Navy in the future. 258 JAMES WILLIAM MclNTOSH THOMSON From Sanford, Florida, came Jim Thomson, and with him he brought his own special brand of humor. No one could ever forget him after once being the subject of Jim's famous verbs. His academic achievement was a mystery to anyone who knew his study habits, but whatever his secret, he used it artfully. Because of his several run-ins with the Exec Dept.. Jim acquired character that will serve him well. He is certain to bring much to the Navy, and will undoubtedly leave it a changed service. Ever a flyer at heart, Jim will join the fleet as a Naval Aviator, and his ambition is to become an Astronaut. KENNETH DELMAR TILLOTSON Ken, affectionately known to his classmates as Swine , believed that the Naval Academy had a five-year curriculum, although some people made it through in four years. The class of '68 was really enriched by his arrival on that first riotous day at the end of plebe summer. Though his academic record was somewhat less than stellar, it stemmed from Ken's choice of priorities rather than his inabilities. If there had been a grade given for liberty, Ken would have deserved a 4.0. He was a fine leader and organizer, especially in the line of recreation. The wardroom was not where the television set was. it was always where the Swine was. Ken made life more pleasant and exciting for everyone around him. Academics forced Ken to give up a promising varsity football career, but he remained a competent and very competitive athlete. He was tops professionally and with his keen mind, sense of humor, and leadership abilities, he will certainly be an asset to the Naval Service. ROY ALLEN YATES Roy, known affectionately as canvasback or Yatesiepoo hails from Clarence. New York, a place he never stopped praising in his four years at Navy. He is well known as a wrestler and a ladies man, he has in the past, managed to squirm out of near falls and pins concerning both. At first an Engineering maior. the Steam Department changed his mind. Roy wants to go into either Navy Air or medicine, specifically obstetrics. The theory apparently is that few babies are born on destroyers during sea duty. As his first class cruise demonstrated so well, Roy will make a welcome addition to any wardroom, no matter what field he chooses. 1 st CLASSMEN 260 261 THIRD BATTALION STAFFS 1st SET THIRD BATTALION STAFF CDR P.N.

However, prior to en. tering the Academy he was home-ported in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he attended Radford High School. Although he was subjected to eighteen years of Air Force indoctrination, he decided that he would do best to pursue his militaristic inclinations at USNA. Between jumping out of airplanes and harassing the sharks. Rick found time to do his part on the company's soccer, field ball, and softball teams. When he decided that these sports weren't challenging enough, he helped organise the battalion tveightlifting team and led it to a Brigade championship. However. Rick didn't expend all his talents on physical activities. His academic achievements are well known. Although he started out low. he fought his way up to the Superintendent's list and finally to Dean's list. No matter which way Rick decides to go upon graduation. Marine Air or Air Force, his strong will and determination will without doubt lead him far in the service of his country. RICHARD RAYMOND BOROWIEC Hailing from Chickopee Falls. Massachusetts, Dick, better known to us as Boro , came to USNA right out of high school. During his stay here he managed to divide his time pretty well between athletic, studies, and having a good time; excelling in all three. Throughout his four years at USNA. he lent his athletic abilities to various intramural sports, especially company softball, where he became an outstanding first baseman. The Mathematics Department claimed a majority of his study time. Boro never let hi$ social life suffer, however, for he could be found playing almost every kind of sport, sitting in on a bridge game, or spending many happy hours during weekend liberty. His fine personality, ability and drive are only surpassed by his loyalty as a friend. These assets will make Dick a fine Naval Officer with a promising future. GARY CONRAD BURGER Gary, better known as Burgs . Bits , or Ham come to us from Hazel Park, Michigan. We are all familiar with his wrestling proficiency dating from his selection as the outstanding wrestler of the fourth class tournament plebe year to his election as captain of the 1968 Varsity team. Gary's grappling endeavors ranged from consistent All State awards in high school to 1964 Olympic Regional crown. Gary had an outstanding won-lost record for Navy with additional recognition of a second in the 1967 Nationals. Not resting on his athletic laurels. Gary developed into a real leader of our class. He paced the company through the fall set as company commander. He could be found on Friday mghts. waxing that deck, scrubbing the blinds, or polishing the desk top. Gary plans a future in Navy Air. Fly high Gary, and best of luck. HARRY OLIN BUZHARDT. JR. A Marine Corps junior. Harry has spent more time in the Carolinas than any other area. He claims South Carolina as home, and if the people there have his same easy going nature, it must truly be a wonderful place. If you were looking for Harry and he wasn't in the pad you would probably find him out on the golf course. Once a year he made a June Week Parade, but the rest of the Spring and Fall sets he was out on the links. Golf is Harry's greatest single pastime, and his love of the sport has led to great accomplishment. He is a three year N winner and captain of the '68 varsity team. At the Academy Harry has concentrated on the management field and with graduation will apply his talents to Navy line. A fine gentleman, we look forward to seeing him again m the fleet. 264 ROY LAURENCE CARTER After being so near the water in his native town. Winter Haven. FlorkJa. and Honolulu, it was natural for Carts” to make his way to the Canoe Club on the Severn. After briefly playing on the plebe football team. Roy transferred to intramural sports, participating avidly in batt football, company fieldball and company softball. His easy-going, cheerful manner helped him to surf over the white water of academics and minor problems with the Executive Department. Reflecting the effect of his early home life. Roy's duty selection will yield the Marine Corps a conscientious officer. JEFFREY ALAN COOK Jeffrey Alan Cook hails from Medfield. Mass. a small town on the coast of Boston. It is generally believed that Cookie migrated South to the Academy to become a Boston Whaler. Leaving behind his skiis and the familiar slopes throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. Cookie came into the world of the sea despite an acceptance at Harvard on a scholarship. He easily humbled the academics at Navy in true Ivy League style. It is no wonder he was accepted as a Trident scholar. As far as anyone knows, including the Academic Dean. Jeff's project has to do with a repulsive substance called steam. If he was a hard charger in academics he was even more enthusiastic in sports. The football and lacrosse fields were his home. During the winter sports season he could be found horizontal in the weight room, studying to be a muscle. With all these points in his favor it was no Surprise when Jeff traded in his nickname Cookie for Ole 12 bars . Due to a recent decline in the whaling industry it looks as though Jeff has chosen Navy Air as a career. An assured success m any endeavor, the future is his. Best of luck Jeff and smooth sailing. RONALD EARL COOK As a staunch upholder of the Texas ideal our Texan hails from the southern portion of the Lone Star state. Although not physically large, he proved to be one of the biggest Texans in sports and academics at the Academy. Ron was a welcomed addition to any team and appreciated and enjoyed any game that could be mustered. He excelled at football, lacrosse, and handball and actively enjoyed every sporting event as a well versed spectator or as a skilled participant. Excellence in athletics was not Cookie's only accomplishments Even with little time buried in the books. Ron could always fly through with Aces As a mainstay to NAF AC and as an avid participant in the Foreign Relations Club, he added to his already busy schedule by holding down the job of Company sub-commander.

Key West, Florida. Fairfax. Virginia, and so on. Being a Navy junior, the transition into the military came quite easy to him Academics were never a problem to Jeff, although he was known to have a little difficulty with Naval Operations ami Military Law. He was always an enthusiastic member of the class and was always to be found on two or three committees working hard on some aspect of class policy. Jeff's interests included cross country running, football and skiing In fact, he is known to have cut more than one fine trail down a snowy mountain in New Hampshire. His natural ability to get along with people, coupled with his quiet determination and winning spirit will ensure his success in anything he undertakes. 265 THIRD BATTALION THIRTEENTH COMPANY JAMES PETER FARRELL. JR. In no small way influenced by his father's naval experience. Jim left a town named New York for the thriving metropolis of Annapolis. Straight from a liberal arts prep school. Jim tangled with the Math Department plebe year. Just escaping the wrath of the Academic Board, he mended his ways and laboring in the mystical world of the Science Department, worked his way up to the Supt's list second class year. A staunch supporter of intramurals, fall and spring would find him hustling with the Company soccer and battalion rugby teams. Though Jim as not yet decided on a course for his future, he casts a hopeful eye toward subs. Judging by his eagerness to improve himself here, he should have a fine future wherever he may go. KARL ARTHUR MAHUMED Having migrated from the hills of Colorado to the shores of the Severn, Karl had little trouble stepping into the Navy way of life. With two years of college experience behind him at Blackburn College in Carlinville. Illinois. Karl found academics little trouble, but a bit frustrating at times. After a short haul at crew during plebe summer Phant turned his complete attention to track. By second class year he had become the number one shotputter on the varsity team. The big man will pursue a career in Navy Air. hopefully in Phantoms, following graduation. PETER ANTHONY NAWROCKI Hailing from 8uffalo, N.Y., Rock brought with him impressive credentials. An exceptional swimmer, and an accomplished musician, he has been active in both intramural athletics and various musical activities, including the NA-10. the Concert 8and and the Musical Club Show. Breezing through the difficult field of Nuclear Physics. Pete found time to become a leader in the Brigade Honor System. An avid sports fan. it could be easily said that as the Buffalo Bills go. so goes Pete. His enthusiasm for sports led him to the lacrosse field, the natatorium, and to hospital point for ficldball and football. Although the youngest member of the class of 1968. the Pollack. exhibits maturity and ability far beyond his years which will take him far in whichever field he chooses. GORDON IRWIN PETERSON, JR. Pete” followed in the footsteps of his father's thirty-one year career when he entered the Academy that sweltering day in June. 1964. A product of Wantagh, New York High School and the Naval Reserve, Gordy kept up his running activities on the plebe and varsity track teams, winning an N blanket second class year. Some member of '70 will remember their first month at Navy under the kindly guidance of Ham and Pete who were on the ple be detail. A bull slash, Pete was no stranger to Supt's list. Also, Sleepy Hollow was lullabicd by his melodious efforts in the choir. Service selection night will be a real coin tosser for Pete. He may have to rely on his pencil rolling experience in Luce Hall. Regardless of his decision, the Navy will receive one of our more enthusiastic classmates. 266 JERRY MARTIN PORTER A polished southern gentlemen from Fort Lauderdale. Jerry decided early in his Naval career to win friends and not worry about minor aspects of academy life such as taps, inspections, liberty limits, etc. A tremendous natural athlete and a take-charge leader on the field, he personally led several intramural teams to regimental championships. His love of sports spanned the gap from participant to fan as he actively followed the football fortunes of Tennessee. Ole Miss and the South East Conference. Perhaps establishing a conduct record which may exist for decades. Jerry had the dubious distinction of being the only member of the class of 1968 not to change companies. A well known party man. girls melted at the sight of his smile, he could be seen weekend after weekend with the prettiest girls in the yard. Jerry will surely find good luck and fair winds whether on the high seas or some sunny beach. EDWARD 8ENNETT POWELL. JR. Ed Bear Powell, was born in Montana, and moved to Grandview, Washington at the age of seven. He attended Grandview High School in the beautiful Yakima farming valley where his interests m cars, fishing, football, hunting and literature (especially the Lone Ranger and Three Musketeers) flourished.

Wisconsin, Jim will always be remembered for his fiery athletic spirit and his various collections of uncommon items The Chemistry department, bridge games, and all types of sports each took their share of his time and talents. However, his favorite pastime was making the best of weekend liberty. During his upperclass years, he spent more time in town than most people who lived there. The 13th company intramural program owes much of its success to Jim's natural ability He proved himself to be a welcomed addition both on and off the field. His congenial personality and aggressive drive have won him many friends, and will be valuable assets to his future Naval career. 267 WILLIAM OSCAR POWELL. Ill Having called many places home as a Navy Junior. Bill presently hails from Indianapolis. Indiana. Known to his friends and classmates as Boog . he came to the Academy from York-town High School in Arlington. Virginia, where he was a standout m football and baseball. Bill continued his athletic excellence at USNA. playing third base for the plebe and varsity baseball teams. During the winter his ability as a pass receiver accounted for many a company football victory. As for academics. Bill’s decision to major in the Weapons Department began an endless battle with the magicians who inhabit Ward Hall. His grades were not outstanding, but Bill never was one for studying when there was something better to do. No stranger to the fairer sex. 8 H devoted many a weekend to his favorite pastime, the pursuit of women. 8ill looks forward to a career m Naval Aviation. Hi$ outgoing personality, ability to make friends and motivation will assure him of success. THIRD BATTALION THIRTEENTH COMPANY CHARLES DAVID ROB8EN, JR. Searching for a fresh salt breeze. Charlie came to Annapolis from the Bronx. A hard charger from the word go. he immediately tackled numerous demanding tasks. Crew, perhaps one of the most grueling of sports, became his first love. Fighting to cut weight to make the light weight shell. Charlie could be seen running around Farragut Field at early hours of the morning and pushing his desserts away at meals. This dedication earned Charlie an N in his third, second and first class years. Not satisfied with athletic endeavor along, he accepted the time-consuming responsibilities of Editor-in-Chief of the 1968 LUCKY BAG. Yet, in spite of this, Charlie found time to put in hours of hard studying and equally hard sleeping. A living example that gentlemen prefer blondes, he never allowed his work to interfere with his social life. Charlie is leaning toward the Nuclear Power program, but with his qualifications he is sure to become a success wherever life leads him. FRANCIS CLAIR RILEY. JR. Frank, a Navy junior, now claims Leawood, Kansas as his home. Prior to entering the Academy, Frank excelled in the NROTC program at the University of Kansas. After one hectic year of fraternity life, he decided to switch to the comparative peace and quiet of plebe year at the Academy. At the Academy, Frank decided that personal combat was much to his liking and thus became a three-year member of the varsity fencing team. Frank did not always score the most touches , but, as his opponents will readily attest, his were the hardest. Frank's aggressive spirit also found a ready acceptance on the lacrosse field, where he helped spark one of his Battalion teams to a brigade championship. Hard work and determination not only helped him athletically, but also made him a consistent member of both the Superintendent's and the Dean's list. Frank's two most rewarding experiences as a midshipman were being a member of the second class plcbc summer detail and a combat veteran of WestPac 67. Frank will surely be a credit to the Navy and his country as a Naval Aviator. JAMES ARTHUR SCHWERTMAN Coming to Navy directly from L'Anse Crelise High School in his native Mount Clemens, Michigan, Schwarts cruised easily into the rigors of Academy life. Having played both basketball and baseball in high school; Jim continued the activities on an intramural level, earning a brigade championship in basketball, in addition to two brigade championships in a new-found love, squash. The benefits of Supt's list gave him some extra liberty but it took a great deal to drag him out of the pad. A real power boat and racing car enthusiast. Jim will undoubtedly choose something fast for his duty selection, and will provide the service with a dedicated officer. THOMAS LEE STARTT Lee hails from Easton Md., which according to him is situated m God's Country. He has really gone the route around USNA in the last four years. Academics were never too harsh on him and he was home free after the completion of his last math course which enabled him to spend full time on his Foreign Affairs major A good lightweight during the winter, Lee spent most of his fall and spring afternoons cruising on the YP's or working as a LUCKY BAG Managing Editor on the side. His experience and knowledge of YP’s and tactics arc unsurpassed in the batt. Never one to pass up a party, Lee endured the summers by cultivating his hair on the East Coast, and earning for himself the name Surfer . Always big for blind dates, he wouldn't think of spending a June Week without one. But he did make out like a champ and could always be counted on to help out a classmate at a moment's notice. Lee has always wanted to fly and should prove to be an excellent Naval Aviator. 268 THEODORE RUSSELL VIVILACQUA Ted Vivilacqua was born in New York and moved to L.A. where he discovered contact sports. Here at the Naval Academy. Ted. better known as Vivi . excelled in football, rugby. German, and friendliness. Everyone, except plebes. always got a friendly Yo when passing him in the hall. As a German major, Vivi spent much of his time in the last room on the top deck of the foreign language building. With his excellent mastery of the German language, his short haircut, and his determination, Vivi will make a very fine addition to the Marine Corps. THOMAS BEN WEST One can't really call Tom a Navy tumor because he's in fact, a Navy Air junior. Talk to him awhile about those wings of gold, and he'll give the impression that's all he's ever wanted. Actually, Tom started flying second class year when he met a certain young lady. Tom's been taking it well, and is even practicing for the future, having token on a group of young Sunday schoolers from a local Church until he can acquire his own flock of little rug beaters. Tom is preparing for his future career with a major in OPS Analysis. He swam on the varsity squad, and has been active in intramural sports, both rugby and batt water sports. Look up in the sky sometime in the near future; it may well be Tom flying over. 269 1 St CLASSMEN 270 2nd SET CDR: E.J. Triche; SUB-CDR: L.L. Taylor; C.P.O.: R.B. Schellhaas. 3rd SET CDR: E.J.

BARTLETT Shucking his sun glasses and suntan lotion for the more austere surrounding of the Naval Academy, Paul came to us from Boone High School in Orlando. Florida. Here, he has found the study of literature much to his liking, therefore he set a major in the subject as one of his goals Although, Paul is not a slash, he never found academics to be a problem. Consequently, he often found time to help other Mkfe with their problems from Maury Hall. He was never too busy to aid m company projects and activities. Paul always exhibited a deep concern for the professional preparedness of the underclassmen. This concern prompted him to devote much time in effecting training programs. During the summer retreat to Little Creek, Paul acquired the nickname of Audie due to his unusual marine like qualification. But even if Paul does not go into the Corps which he in all probability will not, the Naval Service has gained a very fine officer. WILLIAM THOMAS COLLINS, JR. Bill, who was affectionately dubbed Horse , by his firstie shortly after plcbcycar began, hails from Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania. From a rather shy, uncommunicative individual. Horse developed into one of the more sparkling personalities of the company. In the thick of any practical joke plot he has provided us many of our more humorous moments over the last four years. However, Horse knew how to work hard as well as play hard. Supt's List usually found him on the roll, or if not. very close to the hallowed scroll. Electronic devices held his fascination and his pursuit of the magic dcctrous” led him to a major in Electrical Engineering. Navy very rarely was able to subdue him but word has it a blonde beauty from Silver Spring, Md.. may hold the key. as well as the upper hand. Horse claims Nuclear Power as his chosen field but those who know claim matrimony will be his chief occupation. JOHN G. DEMPSEY Jack was a typical high school harry in St. Joe. Mo. before entering the gates here at USNA. Plebe summer Jack went out for the boxing team and excelled until he decided to retire his gloves. He was always ready for any type of athletics, and became a well rounded sportsman. The athletic field was one of Jack's three most frequented places. The other two were the big blue pad or behind a book. Even thought he was never an honors student. Jack consistently gave his all to the Academic Department. There isn't enough that can be said about his social life. If Jack wasn't the first person at every party you know he was detained by his drag. 272 MICHAEL JOSEPH DUNCAN Known as Mike, Dunk. or Kee Jay. this aspiring midie came to the Academy as well prepared academically as possible, having spent three years at the University of Rhode Island; an item indeed worth of Ripley's believe it or not column. Plebe year was quite an experience for him: First, he was okler than a majority of the first and second class and he was the only plebe that the firstics came to for El in skinny. Since youngster year, he has been an easy mid to pick out of the crowd, you need only look for someone with nine cameras around his neck, all with different lenses. Besides his photo work for the LUCKY BAG, Mike can be found in only one of two places: on a yawl or on the tennis court, where he claims that none of his six Bancrofts quite fit his style . An avid fan of the all-night vigil, he subscribes to the policy of why put off today what you can put off tomorrow . All his trials and short-comings can be attributed to the fact that he was the only plebe in the brigade to have a Moke for a firstie. PATRICK NEAL ELLIS Pat took a rather varied anti interesting route before he came to the Naval Academy, since his father is a Lt. Col. m the Army. His final stop before he entered the Academy was at Fayetteville High school in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where Pat was an outstanding end on the school football team. Football is not the only sport in which Pat does well as can be witnessed by his P. T. grades for the four years here at the Academy. He has not only excelled in the P. T. Department but in the academic departments as well. Since the second semester of Plebe year. Pat has centered his academic endeavors around the acquisition of a major in History from the friendly inhabitants of Maury Hall. More than one time since that fateful day in June. 1964. the magic figures of 4.00 have appeared on Pat's grade card. Presently he is looking forward to an interview for a Rhodes Scholarship during his Christmas leave. To go with his interest in History, Pat has been active in the Foreign Relations Club and French Club. His current job is that of the Battalion Commander and next year at this time it should be that of student in Pensacola. R08ERT STEPHEN ERB Steve came to the Academy from Omaha. Nebraska after a year of preparatory school at St. John's Military Academy. A conscientious worker. Steve contributed much to the extra' curricular activities at USNA with his ideas and efforts. He brought a professional talent to WRNV, sacrificing many early morning hours of sleep to greet the Brigade with music at reveille, two years of hard work on the popular music concert committee saw the achievement of contracting first-rate groups. Other activities in-eluded the Ring and Crest committee. Steve's field of academics is weapons and his plans for the future include working for a Master's degree, as well as aviation school at Pensacola. GERALD EARL FASTABEND Having been raised amidst potato patches and sage brush, Jerry was a natural for the Navy. An honor graduate of Nampa Senior High in Nampa, Idaho, the Bender raised no Sweat continuing honor level work at Navy. Academics were but a time consuming activity m between Supt's list weekends The company soccer team benefited from Jerry's plebe soccer experience and enthusiasm. And with four youngster afternoons a week during first class year. Jerry was always well rested up for the intramurals. Navy air will be Jerry's first choice in a service selection. And. if all goes well, some P-3 squadron will have another dedicated officer. THIRD BATTALION FOURTEENTH COMPANY JOHN PAUL HYDINGER The Dinger arrived from Paris, France just a few days after plebe year had really started and immediately endeared himself to a certain second class squad leader. Surviving the toils and tribulations of plebe year in spite of his friend, the Dinger chose the computer to occupy his time for most of youngster year. Being adept at the racket sports, John also spent much of his time in the squash courts or out putting the big spin on the tennis ball. Second class year saw the computer fall by the wayside as a new interest sprang to life in a small fish tank cleverly hidden in his room. As the fish grew so did the tank and by first class year Hyman had taken over the wardroom with his four foot tank. John divided his time between the fish, the car committee and his academics with a few spare moments for the members of the fourth class, much to their disappointment. John plans to turn his energies and talents in the direction of Navy line following in the footsteps of his father and brother. His strict sense of duty and friendly nature will make him an outstanding career officer. WOODROW WILSON HULME, II Hailing from Ardmore. Oklahoma, Woody came to Navy directly out of high school. Academics were no problem to Woody as his constant presence on the Supt's and Deans' list attests. Music and magic take up most of Woody's spare time. Being a member of the Concert 8and and an avid classical music four. Many were the study hours shot by frustrated classmates trying to figure out his magical expertise. Afternoons Woody could be found in a never ending struggle for survival in the infamous Shark Tank Woody's keen mind and strong determination will be a great help to his career in the Nuclear Power Program. THOMAS C. O'CONNOR Tom, comes to us from Flushing, New York. As a plebe he was nicknamed the Hawk and that has been his name since. I believe that it is impossible to name an instance in which Tom has not been smiling. He has a happy go lucky nature and can get along with anyone. After graduation Tom intends to go destroyers and from there into UDT. He is a rather intelligent individual, but to studies he prefers girls. I must say that no party would ever be complete without the Hawk and if there is a party he'll be there. I am confident that Tom will be a cerdit to the U.S. Naval service as long as he is a member. JAMES ANTHONY PEARSON Drew (as he is known to his friends) left the girls weeping at the station in West Lafayette to come to Navy. Being from a Navy family he adjusted easily to the constricting life and started in right away at sweating the system . In his four years by the bay Drew contributed immensely to intramural program. His persistent practice and fighting spirit have become famous on Farragut Field. He has managed to become up tight with the Academic Board and visits them periodically just to keep in touch. When not pursuing athletic excellence he could be found either in the pad or on liberty both of which he was extremely fond of. With his easy going personality and love of the sea Navy line will receive a tremendous asset. 274 EVERETT LEON PHILLIPS Yogi got his first taste of big city life when he gave up his plow in Waverly. Kansas and came to Annapolis. Being a star man, Yogi greatest challenge has been the pad and girls, and he usually ends up succumbing to both. Yogi seems to be a natural for animal nicknames. Two of the best known being Sloth because of his slow but sure mannerisms and Hooded Cobra because of his quickness when it comes to wits. His favorite pastimes include sports, bridge, and expounding on the virtues of the Kansas City Chiefs and how they'll win the championship next year. An avid aviator Yogi seeks wings of gold upon graduation. PHILIP RODNEY PRECHT Phil arrived at Navy a graduate of Dulaney High School in nearby Timonium, Md. Completely inexperienced with the navy way of life, he was soon thrust under the dubious leadership of Dutch and The Bull and became an outstandingly silent Plebe. and a devotee of the infamous Navy Line. Phil's high school experience in gymnastics placed him in good stead for he easily made the Plebe team and subsequently earned a Varsity letter in each of his remaining three years, as well as the appropriate nickname of Flip. Out of season, gym occupied all his afternoons and denied the intramural program his tremendous athletic ability. Though never a slash in the academic department, his persistent and amiable nature, coupled with his loyalty, has made him a great deal more than just an officer and a gentleman . ROBERT EASTMAN SCHOLARS 8ob came to the Academy from the ivy-clad walls of Cornell. Despite this handicap. Bob became the man with the golden touch. He became the master of almost every endeavor, excelling especially in sleeping, eating, and dragging. In the Great Sleep Marathon of 1966, the competition almost flunked out before conceding defeat, as Bob slept on. the Grand Champion. 4.0 intact. On the academic side of the yard. Bob relentlessly ruined the minds and self-confidence of his profs. Never off the Superintendent's or Dean's Lists. Bob marked his academic career by becoming a Trident Scholar. Every afternoon, year-round, found Bob hard at work at Hubbard Hall, perfecting that rowing machine. Always a rugged individualist. Bob devoted himself to the endeavors that he considered important. With his rigid honesty and genuine forthrightness. Bob should make a most in-triguing and valuable officer. His perseverance and unquenchable desire to be the best will bring him success, whether he gets that Swift Boat to Vietnam, or heads for M.l.T. RICHARD B. SCHELLHAAS. JR. Thousands know him affectionately as the WUJ. Whenever the P-works were thick, that Form 2 came through, the dark ages set in, or Navy just plain got you down. Rick was always there with not only a joke and an encouraging word, but a whole routine that could leave no one depressed long. Afternoons often found Rick in the field house weight room, where persistent effort made him one of the strongest men in the class, this same effort has brought Rick up from one Superintendent's List to the other and made him a candidate for most improved in the class. When Rick joins the fleet, that most fortunate ship will acquire all at once a most competent and dedicated officer, a seven-day-a-week comedy show, and a significantly increased Mess bill. 275 THIRD BATTALION FOURTEENTH COMPANY JAMES NEAL TREADWELL After graduation from Virginia Episcopal School m Lynchburg. Virginia. Jim came to the sunny shores of the Severn. As his father is a Colonel in the Marine Corps. Jim managed to live in several different locations during his stay at Navy. Presently he calls Makalapa, Hawaii his home. Always interested in sports Jim was on the plebe and J.V. soccer team his first three years being elected co-captain of the team as a second class. When he was not running around playing soccer he helped out with the intramural program on the company teams of field bail, rugby, and soccer. One season he put his athletic talents to the extreme test and participated in battalion gymnastics on the long horse and parallel bars. Jim also managed to squeeze in some extracurricular activities like vice president of the Gun club and a member of the Spanish club. Although Jim wasn't known to his classmates (or the academic board! as being an academic wizard, his stick-to-it-tiveness and spirit have made him an outstanding credit to the Naval Academy and will see him well in the future. As he is following in the footsteps of his father, the Marine Corps will be receiving a very capable officer. LOREN LEE TAYLOR Larry came to the Academy after graduating from Roosevelt High School in Minnesota. Being a standout athlete in high school, he continued these endeavors at Navy by playing plebe football and track. He adjusted easily to the Academy life and the rigors of plebe year. A serious-minded individual. Larry, took well to the academics and maintained an above average standing. Engineering was his bread and butter and if there was anything he followed more fervently, it was the sports results of local Minnesota teams. After youngster years, Larry became active in Company intramurals, and with his vitality, made a bright addition on the field. Without a doubt, he got along with everyone, and his sincere, well-mannered personality made him a hit from the word go . With his talents and ability, the Nuclear Power Program will receive a fine asset. ERNEST JOSEPH TRICHE, III After running thru swamps making sounds like an animal. Ernie decided to leave his first love, the Marine Corps, and come to the Naval Academy. His exuberant personality, good sense of humor and his tremendous perseverance picked him out as an outstanding midshipman and leader.

BERNARD RICHARD VALENTINE After two years of the free and easy fraternity life at Syracuse University Bcrnic decided to enter the Naval Academy. He was a graduate of llion High School in llion. New York. Gifted with natural leadership qualities and an excellent organizer. Bernic took an active part in company and Brigade affairs. He served on the Brigade Hop committee and the Pop Music Concert committee and was the workhorse for the company party committee. Bernie took an active part in intramural sports and being an outstanding athlete and leader was an asset to every team he played on. He led the lightweight football team to the Brigade finals two years in a row and was the leading sprinter on the battalion track team. He will, however, be glad to say good-bye to the natatorium where he has spent many laborious hours practicing for the P.T. department.

Which ever part of the Navy Berme decides on they will be gaming a conscientious and hardworking officer. 276 KENNETH LYNN WILLIAMS Coming from Mt. Eden High School in California to USNA is quite a treat in itself, however. Kenny, or Willie , as his infamous firstic The Jonce named him, took it all in stride and strived to attain his former level of achievement that had been left in California. Most of us. first became aware of Kenny in the mess hall where his Brigade wide selfintroduction of. Taller than the Colossus of Rhodes. . escalated into Me. the Magnifi-cient Midshipman Williams. 4 c . Willie took to Academy life like one possessed. This placed him in the spotlight for Company parties where his impersonations of the dictatorial traits of our beloved Company Officers were right in character. Ken's career selection has been greatly influenced by the helpful Academic Department His first desire was to follow his father into Nuclear Power, but such dreams have been modified. Whatever the future holds, wherever he goes, his tremendous personality, military proficiency, and desire to excel will place him among the finest officers in the US. Navy. THORNTON W. WILT. JR.

Plebe year proved a challenge, as it did for most of his classmates, but it couldn't daunt his sense of humor which helped make him one of the most personable, popular guys in hi$ company. Mike's major endeavor in sports pitted him against the formidable pad monster. Though consistently losing these battles, he was always a stalwart in company basketball, softball, and soccer. His thoughts of a Naval career have been dominated by aviation and appropriately his minor was Aerodynamics. He was also a charier member of the American institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Mike’s popularity at school didn't limit his magnetic attraction to the opposite sex. Most of each summer leave was spent on the Jersey shore and he never failed to return to USNA with a budding summer romance. Mike distinguished himself first class year as the reigning member of the wardroom, as all will attest to. Any branch of the naval service which is fortunate enough to receive Mike will undoubtedly profit from his varied talents and quick wit. RICHARD TERRY AHERN Extremely outgoing and sincere, the Buddha is possibly one of the most highly motivated men in the company, although his motivation experienced a near-miscarriage along with the rest of the class plebe year. Born 29 March, 1946. the second child and first son of four. Rich entered the Trade School. A graduate of San Rafael High School, he left behind a terrific record as Scholar-Athlete of his class. An A-student. he was captain of the school's football team, a starter in basketball and tennis and president of the lettermen's club. Preferring not to let his abilities stagnate. Rich really tackled the academics at Navy, gaining a major in Bull. Always maintaining Supt's List grades, he made himself a welcome addition to the Bait football and tennis and company basketball teams Strongly suspected of being at least part Irish, Rich amidst all this, could always be seen dragging some beautiful doll, and rarely the same one. An active participant in the NACA and OCU, Rich has always been guided by a very strong sense o personal faith and hopefully he will continue to follow this guidance upon graduation. JAMES CHESTER CARROLL Chet came to the Academy by way of Albright College in Reading. Pennsylvania. After starring in basketball, track, and soccer in high school, he continued his athletic successes both at Albright and the Naval Academy. Giving up soccer and track after his plebe year. Chet decided to concentrate on basketball. It was a good thing for Navy he did. As a second classman he was second on the team in scoring and proceeded to win his varsity N. As far as academics go. Chet found out plebe year that he and academics don't get along, so being the amiable sort, he has stayed away from the books as much as possible. He therefore concentrated not only on athletics, but also weekends, the pad, and girls. After graduation, Chet hopes to draw his flight suit and parachute m Pensacola and embark upon a career in Naval Aviation. DENNIS PATRICK DILLEY Prior to entering the Naval Academy, Dennis graduated from Forrest High School in Jacksonville, Florida, where he pushed the books, excelled as a fine swimmer and generally enjoyed the golden, care-free high school days. After he trudged through the rat-race of Plebe year, Dennis settled down to enjoy a few of his favorite pastimes: girls, music by the Ventures, an occasional cool brew, and the boisterous 15th Company bull-sessions. Dennis’s unique talent of impersonating Crazy Guggenheim was frequently enjoyed by his company at the annual Christmas parties. Though the pressure of studies and the weariness of being constantly on the go tends to be depressing at times, Dennis found an outlet which he not only enjoyed very much but also became very proficient at. boxing. His fast and shifty moves in the ring, however, could possibly be aided by his daily practice of sleeping in until the last minute and then making a fast and furious rush to dress and get to formation on time. He looks forward to graduation. 280 ROBERT FRANCIS DUGGAN New York City's loss was the Academy’s gain when Bob put on his Blue Uniform and signed up for the duration at Canoe U. Hi love for sports helped to bolster company athletics, especially on the football field. However he is probably best known for his success in the 1967 Eastport bicycle race, where he led the Navy team to defeat at the hands of the Executive Department.

KEVIN RICHARD DWYER As the full moon rose over the Bay Bridge, we found our happy Wolf on his journey South from the shores of Long Island to scenic Chesapeake 8ay Country. Behind him lay an admirable record of achievements; the National Honor Society. Class President, and a High School All American football player. Not content to merely coast on a superb record of past performance. Kev assaulted Mother Bancroft with a renewed spirit of enthusiasm and success. Academics never posed a problem for Wolf, who was a regular on theSupt's List. In the field of athletics there were few who surpassed his efforts. As the best right-handed light heavy-weight to come along in quite some time. Kev sent many an opponent scurring for cover. It would be completely erroneous to assume that All work and no play made Kev a dull boy. Perhaps it would be more fitting to say that Wolf managed to make all the fifteenth Co's literary club meetings. To those who know and admire him. the statement that Kev’s successes will be un-bounded, needs no qualification. RONALD ERNEST FIANDACA Ron. another member of the New York City Power Group , hails from that scenic wonderland. The Bronx. Spending most of his weekends either at the main office or at his Uncle Jake's Garden Club in Annapolis. Ron was also an active member of the 15th company Literary Club . An avid cross country fan. Ron always had a good word for all his classmates. After James Monroe High School, he spent a year at the New York State Maritime Academy before heading South to the Naval Academy and the real navy. His thirst for knowledge has led him through many adventures and his conduct has always been a shining example for the freshmen. Ron's love for the sea will surely help him to be a fine Naval Officer. JOSEPH WILLIAM GILMARTIN. JR. Life with Jay. or Gilly . as he is often tagged, has never been dull. Whether he is writing a letter, planning a party, or just exuding Gilmartinisms. every day is a new adventure. When the weekends came, our boy went. There have been many new trails blazed by our latter-day Connecticut Yankee. Some were hard to trace, across Annapolis Harbor or up mesh fences, while others led to a well known office on 3-1. But many of Jay's extracurnculars have added to the prestige of the Boat School. After chasing a varsity N through two years of football and lacrosse. Gilly and 150-pound football discovered each other. Forty pounds later they were still together, much to the dismay of Army Even though the academic board managed to rob him of his 3.0 each semester. Jay refused to be frustrated. This is the only one of the myriad qualities which endear him to the Wolf and most others. The Navy can only benefit from the experience J. W. GILMARTIN, JR., will put it through. 281 THIRD BATTALION FIFTEENTH COMPANY JAMES WILLIAM HEUBACH Jim or Heubs as he is known to his friends, is originally from California, but currently resides in Alexandria, Virginia.

While those around him fell victim to the wrath of the Executive Department, Neil quite successfully avoided dragging the BOOW, more than occasionally. While at the Academy. Neil was active in both intramural sports and extra curricular activities. He was a tough defensive end for heavy weight football, an outstanding boxer, and a fine softball player.

Chris came from Leatherneck Landing. Appling. Georgia, to the Naval Academy after graduating from Admiral Farragut Academy. At the Academy Chris made light work of a hard plebe year and ever more mentally strenuous uppcrclass years. Academics, though not easy to him, had a proper but equal place in a weekly schedule of bull sessions, weekend planning and liberty. His mere presence in a room would brighten a depressed mood or gloomy atmosphere. Besides his love for beer, basketball and that certain beauty. Chris always had that special concern for his classmates and the underclass that made his presence a true credit to the brigade. Chris intends to extend his talents into the Navy Line upon graduation.

JACK PHILIP BROWN Jack entered the Academy from Gwynn Park High School to find Plebe year a bit of a challenge, but managed to step daintily through most of it. Then came Youngster year and one three striper didn't seem to appreciate the way Jack spent study hour. I guess he felt that sleeping and studying didn't mix. Undaunted by this misunderstanding. Jack pushed forward in his drive toward becoming an officer. Always quick to show underclassmen the right way to do things. Jack once helped the wrong one picking up the name Blaster Brown while adding a star to his previously acquired black N . Time passed and first-class year came providing the final argument to Jack's decision to go either Navy or Marine Air. No matter what color uniform Jack pins his wings on, his sincerity, determination, and never ending spirit will carry him to a long and rewarding career. GORDON ALLEN CLEFTON Gordie came to the Academy from Alexandria, Virginia.

With plans for graduate work in the near future, his planned subspecialty will be in the nuclear submarine navy. In athletics, Gordie was a four-year veteran and bulwark of the lightweight crew team. He also mastered other nautical skills as was evidenced by his proficiency at weekend sailing. Cars were another hobby of his and led Gordie to a position on the class Car Committee. As a midshipman, Gordie was noted for high ideals, of honor, and professional competence, and his unassuming amiability. THOMAS ADAMS COLBOURN With six months of reserve duty and another eight months at NAPS T.A. was an old salt even before arriving at the Academy. Undoubtedly this experience coupled with his fine stature gained him the envious position of last rank, last file for company marching formations, during his four years here, and lost the hair line. His personality and easy going manner have won him many friends during his four years here. This combined with his professional knowledge and enthusiasm will surely make T.A. a twenty year destroyer man. 296 EDWARD HAMILTON DOOLIN, HI A Navy junior.

While here, Dools excelled in academics, sports and, most of all, military training.

When he wasn't in the pad, Ted could be found out on one of the athletic fields ... His fine conduct and aptitude, records at good old Canoe U. should mark the beginning of an interesting career in the Navy for Dools . RAYMOND ALBERT DUDDERAR. JR. Coming to the Academy from nearby Salisbury. Chip made the most of his knowledge of the countryside and its wealth. During his upperclass years, he seldom, if ever, missed a party and found it increasingly difficult to follow his plans of remaining a bachelor. Far from neglecting the educational aspects here Chip undertook the challenge of an Operation Analysis Major and fared well with Supt’s List grades His natural leadership and ability to firmly follow what he thought to be correct led to success within the company and the brigade striper organization. The Rat turned from varsity athletics during high school to supporting the intramural program by notably participating in Battalion lacrosse, wrestling, company football, volleyball, and the sailing squadron. Undoubtedly, the air squadrons with which Chip serves in the future will benefit from his many capabilities. WAYNE ERRICKSON Better known to his friends as Durham . Wayne came to the Academy straight from the sultry life of the Jersey Shore. He could usually be found on the gym deck of MacDonough Hall in the afternoon. Taking a few leisurely turns on His side horse. Gymnastics, being one of his great loves, he earned his N” Youngster year on Navy's gym team. When not occupied with athletics, he passed his idle hours in Bancroft Hall listening to such great classical musicians as the Rolling Stones or taking advantage of liberty. Cars and auto racing were always favorite topics with Durham and he became a charter resident of Thunder Alley first class year Never a wizard, but never in trouble academically. Wayne took the tests and p-works as they came. Some of them took him as they went, especially plcbe Engineering. Wayne's love for speed and money inevitably led him to choose Navy Air as his occupation. His sense of humor and easy going attitude attest to the fact that he never forgot the brighter side of life. CHARLES ROY FONTZ Little Franklin, Louisiana sent its big pride to the Academy and plebe year saw this great guy lose a lot of weight and gain as many friends. A real jovial and happy-go-lucky guy Bozo the Clown , as he came to be known by his many friends, made a home in Maury Hall where he majored in Bull. Never a great book worm, Charlie could always be found in the Wardroom, at a party, or in the Pad (well at least in spirit). A great lover of sports and a good football player in high school. Charlie was a real terror on the athletic field both on the soccer field or the Company football team. A hopeful aviator Charlie is bound to be a success in whatever he does. One thing is for sure, his wardrooms will always be laughing. 297 THIRD BATTALION SEVENTEENTH COMPANY DAN EARL MOSER. JR. Coming to the Naval Academy straight from Fullerton High School in California. Dan's outlook plebe year and for the last three years remained as bright as the California sun. Beagle excelled in both basketball and golf in high school, and he elected to concentrate on golf at the Academy. One of Coach Williams most dependable performers. Dan earned his N star Youngster year. He continually excelled in the academic department on his way to a Math major, while at the same time he was always ready and willing to help a needy classmate. Most of his time however, was spent trying to devise new and ingenious ways to stay one step ahead of the Executive Department. Because of Dan's friendly manner and never ending wit, he was a source of inspiration to one and all. Dan seems destined for the Supply Corps, but no matter what he chooses his winning personality and desire will insure him of unqualified success. TERRENCE PAUL MURRAY Terry, a native of Allendale. New Jersey, came to the Academy by way of Bulhs Prep School. Success in athletics followed him all the way to the Academy where he lent his talents to football, track, and baseball. But number 24 , will be remembered most as a three year fixture of the Navy backfield. Hard work and that winning attitude mark Terry's success both on and off the field. Neglecting a yearly run-in with the Skinny department, Terry and his academics managed to co-exist. Always a prime target for some beautiful femme. Terry has not been caught yet. In managing to avoid any major skirmishes with the Executive Department, Terry found himself a four-striper and leader of the Brigade. Despite all his success at the Academy and on the gridiron, Terry will be remembered by friends and classmates alike as a humble, sincere, all-round great guy . R08ERT GORDON NOLAN Bob, sometimes known by a host of other nicknames, came to the Academy straight from Horace Greeley High School in New York. Bob continued an excellent high school record in both academics and athletics While maintaining an academic average good enough for a few long weekends, he still managed to play on two Brigade Championship battalion football teams and a Championship lacrosse team. The Academy seldom saw 8ob on the weekends since his girl went to school in nearby Baltimore. His girl and his studies didn't keep Bob from having an avid interest in sports cars and personal conditioning. After an uneventful first class cruise aboard a navy Greyhound . Bob decided his interests lay in Navy Air or Nuclear Power. His desire to serve his country and the Navy indicate that Bob will undoubtedly have a long and successful career. CHRISTOPHER CHARLES O'BANKS Before coming to the Academy, Chris, better known as Banker , spent a year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as an NROTC midshipman. Upon entering the Academy, Banker easily adjusted to the vigorous routine of academy life and his pleasant personality and friendly manner won him many friends. Academics came easily to Chris. This left him a good deal of time to contribute to athletics, especially lightweight football, where he was an important part of the Company's efforts. He also did much for the Public Relations Committee. The rest of his time Banker had to get some sleep. This he accomplished after taps, during free periods, sometimes during study hour or classes. No matter when or where he was, old Rip Van Winkle always got his sleep. With Banker's natural ability to make friends he will be a welcome asset to the Navy. 298 JOHN ANDREW OSTH John, better known as Lost , came to the Naval Academy in June of 1964 with a bloodhound's ability to sniff out the good deal . He pursued it relentlessly, becoming quite good in time at beating the system. It was not just by coincidence that John never joined the boys on Worden field on Mondays and Wednesdays. On these days John gave unstintingly of his time to the Naval Academy Sailing Squadron. Neither was Lost one to sit around at USNA when he could be doing good deeds. For example, he could usually be seen departing early on Christmas leave to thrill audiences across the country with the Naval Academy Glee Club. John's plans now call for nuclear power, a continuation of the good deal. However, he is still considering destroyers as a possible choree. Whichever branch is fortunate enough to get him will find his unselfishness and devotion a definite asset. LUDWELL LEWIS PICKETT Lud came to the Academy from an all Navy family, of which he is the third generation to embark on a Naval Career Though finding academics not to his liking and often a bit more than troublesome, he was still able to come out on top and earn the three stripes of Company Commander. An avid sailor, Lud could generally be found on an academy yawl during any free time, including his summer leave. After spending most of first class summer ocean racing he received his own command and led his crew to a most successful season. His love of the sea and the Navy together with a well developed sense of duty will insure him a successful life in the fleet. WILLIAM WAYNE SNAVELY, JR. The son of a West Point graduate. Snaves got aack on the right track when he accepted his appointment to USNA. A native Californian, Bill was a lover of good times, as evidenced by his QPR. But this graduate of Gonzaga High School, in Washington. O. C. has a remarkable ability to come through in the clutch. On the athletic field, The Gunner, is best known for his record of missmg sixteen shots in two minutes in an intramural basketball game. Possessor of a friendly nature and good sense of humor. Bill made many friends at the Academy. His ability to make friends, to work well with people, and to come through in the clutch will stand Bill in good stead when he 8lazes a trail across the sky as an Aviator and an Officer, in the service of his country. RONNIE CHARLES REIMERT Hailing from Fort Worth. Texas. Remo as he is affectionately known to his classmates, has brought much fun and frivolities into the company. Picking the difficult minor. Systems Engineering, didn't stop Ronnie from making top grades, as he made Supt's List Plebe year and second semester Youngster year. This is amazing considering the time he spent dragging. An avid sailor, Ronnie sailed from the word go. and received his yawl command the first season second class year. As the coffee and donut man second class year, he learned well the lessons of the cold cruel world of high finance, losing many, many dimes, nickels and quarters. As the linebacker of the lightweight football team Sam Huff Remo contributed greatly to the Company's push for 8rigade Champs Youngster year. After graduation Ronnie plans to join the airdales at Pensacola and make a bid for the jet-set. Everyone in the Company is sure that he'll make it with ease. 299 THIRD BATTALION SEVENTEENTH COMPANY WILLIAM M. SWEATT. JR. A native of Fernandina Beach, Florida, Bill came to the Academy after two years at the University of Florida, where he majored in engineering, was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, and eased through life on a fast motor scooter. At the Academy, he has tried his best to keep the pace easy and has not let studying interfere. His Plebe year, he joined the Rifle Team, but it was not until his Second Class year that he discovered his real talent on the Track Team. He participates in the 600 anil 440 yard runs and the mile relay, not always the first in speed, but never behind in enthusiasm. Bill has been a popular man in his company ever since the advent of Suzie, a slightly worn Plymouth, which complemented many a weekend sortie to nearby parties, bars, and anywhere else there was action. An avid shark fisherman and veteran of two summer sessions at the USN Underwater Swim School. Bill naturally wants to go Navy Air. hopefully to fly the fastest engines available. With his good sense of humor and fantastic ability to luck out. Bill should enjoy an exciting career with Navy all the way. ROBERT DALE STROUSE Bob has certain qualities that have stood past graduates in good stead. He has firm beliefs about the Naval Academy, The System , and the education he has sought. Standing up for his beliefs has not won him a grand circle of friends, but neither will it let him down as a Marine Officer. He has, however, lost his first engagement. The lovely girl he has chosen to marry plies him with food and he has been trying to make weight for Battalion boxing since he came to Navy. 8ut a handy accident second class year and living with Bomber Brown have kept him straight. As the 17th Company Marches off into everything except the fleet, the fall-set C.P.O. can be seen waving that big pole with the little yellow and blue flag . . . sometimes a guidon-bearer but never a piker. WILLIAM DEAN TUCK, II Bill, known affectionately to his classmates as Hog , came to the Academy via Hall High School in Little Rock. Not particularly proficient in the field of academics. Hog devoted a majority of his time to company athletics. He was a standout on both the company soccer and light-weight football teams. During his first class year his classmates erected the Hog memorial chair in the wardroom, because of his devoted loyalty to the Tube . During the weekends, however, he was constantly observed dragging members of the fairer sex, one in particular. Although its commonly felt by myself and his classmates that Hog should most assuredly discover a gleeful career in the Marine Corps, I feel that he will fool us all and fly jets for five years. t � GEORGE EDWARD TUCKER George, coming from Hume, Illinois, had his sights on seeing the world as a Naval Officer and has covered a large part of it already. His summer cruises and leaves have taken him to the waters off our West Coast, across the country several times, from Newport to Bermuda under sail, into the waters of Viet Nam, and over many Side-Curtain Flapping miles of the Middle Atlantic States. Undertaking a Weapons Minor, George managed to win the duels with the Academic 8oard, although sleeping through one of the hearings of his case was hardly appropriate military strategy. Faring better with sports and outside activities, his enthusiasm and winning spirit found their place in Plebe crew. Company ficldball. Battalion cross-country, sailing and any other sport that needed hard working individuals. That same driving spirit that pushed him successfully through the four years here will insure George's development into an officer of which the Navy may be proud. 300 JOE ALAN YLITALO Joe matriculated to this naval institution from San Antonio. Texas. From the beginning of Plcbc summer he established himself as one of the leaders of the class. Joe won immediate friends through his good disposition and willingness to aid anyone in need. Joe's room, a constant gathering place for his class mates, always swayed with the mellow tunes of Jim Reeves and other Western favorites of his and his roomie. Joe concentrated his athletic endeavors to brigade football where he was a mainstay at halfback on the sixth Batt. Brigade Championship team. A Weapons minor Joe was a constant member of the Supt's List. Through his academic prowess and leadership ability Joe was selected as Brigade Operations Officer where he capably lent his hand in leading the brigade. Joe's future plans include Pensacola and 3 possible career m Navy Air. 301 1 st CLASSMEN 302 i 30 EIGHTEENTH COMPANY 3rd SET CDR: D.M. Thompson; SUB-CDR: R.O. Corey. Jr.; C.P.O.: G.L.

After an interesting plcbe year Dave settled down to the routine of the Academy. His athletic interests resulted in playing on four Brigade Championship squash and tennis teams. A hard worker, he spent many hours sparring with his Aeornautical Engineering minor. Dave came to the academy with a desire to fly instilled by his association with hts father a Naval Aviator. As a confirmed bachelor Dave never dated anyone girl steady throughout his four years as a midshipman. In spue of this he was often seen at the Academy's social functions. Dave's easygoing personality and sense of humor have resulted in many friends and acquaintances throughout the brigade. His motivation and desire to fly will assure him of success throughout his naval career. STEPHEN GARY ANDERSON There arc very few midshipmen at the academy like the Rabbitt . Like everyone else he is a potential academic genius, but rather than dissipate this potential in trivia like the rest of us Rabbitt would spend most of his study hour hopping from room to room brightening up the evening for his many friends. He could always be counted on for a friendly smile and a good joke. Although a Steam major, Rabbitt in reality is a frustrated writer and artist. His humorous posters, sketches and cartoons have always livened up the halls. In his position as history Editor for the TRIDENT magazine his historical writings were widely read and on one occasion entered in the Congressional Record. Perhaps his best work, a collection of poems entitled Recollections of a Rabbitt . is as yet unpublished. As yet undecided as to a service selection. Steve's pleasant, easygoing personality and sense of humor will start him along the road to success in whatever field he chooses. Thousands of men have graduated from the Naval Academy but none of us will ever forget the one and only Rabbitt . DOUGLAS MICHAEL BOMARITO Doug came to the halls of Bancroft from the Motor City. He distinguished himself as the only red-headed Italian soul brother, choosing his music directly from the Motown sounds. Being one of the few elite. Doug was selected for the special five year enrichment program now being promoted by many of the leading Engineering colleges and universities. The Redheaded red shirt could be found during any afternoon in the fall and spring practicing with coach Duff's varsity nine. During the winter months he could be found in the warn embraces of his blue pad monster. The Bomber free wheeling style and earnest pursuit of happiness made him popular with his classmates. The physical restrictions of Navy line most probably will not hamper his fun-loving style. JOHN HENRY CHURCH, JR. John, often called the Misplaced Pineapple ' because of his claim of Hawaii as a home, or the Golden Toe because of his two years of place-kicking for the varsity football team, came starry-eyed to the Severn Shores from an ultra-Navy family. Mustang John Sr.’s twenty-eight years of Navy line could not cope with John Jr.'s two summer cruises afloat, which convinced him. if you have to go Navy Air is the best way . When not on the football field, one could look for John contributing his vocal talents to the Antiphonal choir or his antitalcnt to the Spanish Club. At first glance one might think John slightly on the quiet side. However, those who knew him well (male and especially female! know that he can cheer up just about any situation. This quality, plus his strong desire to follow through on anything he tackles should help him go far as a Naval Officer. 304 305 DUDLEY LEROY DAVIS Since arriving at Navy from his hometown of Salt Lake City. Utah, he has always found a way to beat the system. Plebe year saw him coming around but an outgoing personality and a lot of determination did much to make things easier. During third class year, you either found him with one of his favorite Bull books in hand or safe in the security of the blue trampoline”. Though the call of the pad still prevailed during second class year, it was often interrupted by the sounds of There will be a restriction muster . , for there are not too many free weekends for a segundo with 200 demos. As a Firstic, Lee turned over a new ways that is. ways of getting the most out of the least. Lee has his major interests in girls and Bull in that order. Taking full advantage of literature, left Lee little room in his lockers for his uniforms, but that was of little concern to him. Planning a career in Naval Aviation, Lee hopes to fly the Navy's fastest planes. With his persistence and attitude. Lee will make an outstanding addition to the officer ranks of the Navy. CARL GEORGE FINEFROCK After floundering around for a couple of years. Frock finally found a home. Carl was a plebe of quality who |ust showed his mettle when he fell off a Y.P. during Plebe Summer During the following years he has reached the Mt. Olympus of pleasure several times while trans-versmg the Valley of Death with his grades. Leaving one fraternity at Oklahoma State for one at the University of Navy on the rustic-shores of the Severn, Carl quickly achiever! lasting friendships with his classmates He has been active in intramural sports where he was a standout on the football teams. Despite a short time in the hospital second class year, Carl had no medical problems although he is almost on a first name basis with the orthopedic Surgeons. With his quick wit and ability to communicate with people Carl should be a valuable asset to any part of the Naval Establishment ROBERT ORRIN COREY. JR. 8ob came to the Academy straight from Riverview High School in Sarasota, Florida. He quickly picked up the nickname of The Rock , but there is some uncertainty as to whether the name is derived from his initials. R.O.C.. or his performance in swimming classes. 8ob used his abilities of organizing his time, and applying himself to the take plebe year in stride. It always seemed like he had finished a task before anyone else had started; and, the job was usually done to perfection. With his natural abilities and his desire to excel, there should be no bounds to his success. When not ear deep in steam tables. Bob could be heard playing his trumpet, or seen playing tennis. As usual, he excels at both. Bob has two post-graduation desires: to go to flight school, and to remain a bachelor. We know he will succeed at flight school; we can only wish him luck on the other count. With his quiet manner, quick smile, and Subtle wit coupled with the knowledge he has gamed at the Academy, Bob can look forward to a rewarding career in the Navy. FRANK DAVID DRAKE Dave progressed from high school in Parkersburg. W. Va.. through the fleet to NAPS, and finally found satisfaction in a challenging program of academics and athletics at the U.S. Naval Academy. Despite being enrolled in one of the more rigorous academic courses. Systems Engineering, Dave never failed to maintain a strong point average. His warm personality, and deep concern for others led him to be surrounded by a group of close friends friends who often requested and respected his advice Dave is a person who loves living. Whether it be on a weekend or during a night of study, his enthusiavn contagiously produced high spirits in the people about him. Countless are the nights which were tinged with Dave's pleasant humor. Tenacious aggressiveness and immense ambitions. should lead Dave to a highly successful and rewarding career in Navy Air and hopefully test pilot school. THIRD BATTALION EIGHTEENTH COMPANY 7t «A Ma 7 . GARY LANCE FISHMAN Fish came to USNA from Bruna. New York and quickly adapted himself to the never ending rush-hour life of a midshipman. After a vigorous Plebe year, Fish began the Great Slide , never letting academics interfere with his extracurricular activities. His many activities included the Vice Presidency of the Cheerleading squad, the Vice Presidency of the Brigade Activities Committee and organizer and drummer for the Bitter Ends”, a group which played popular contemporary music. When not engager! in extra-curricular activities. Fish could always be found in front of the tube trying to analyze the reasoning of housewives on, Concentration , a T.V. quiz program. Fish will be long remembered by all for his unselfishness in providing the Brigade a charter 8us service from Annapolis to New York during every leave period and consistently losing money on the trip. A Navy Line advocate. Fish will do well in the Naval Service with his friendly suite, fresh bagles and good deals. JOSEPH FRANCIS FRY Four years at Annapolis have treated Joe very well. He easily breezed through Plebe Summer at a leisurely pace which he has maintained throughout his stay at the Academy. Academics never proved to be as serious to Joe for he must have learned to study by osmosis. He has always maintained solid grades in spite of his may hour upholding his status as the wardroom regular . Always one to enjoy a good time Joe could always be found utilizing his midshipman liberty to its fullest. Throughout his career as a midshipman Joe amazed friend and foe alike by maintaining an admirable record with the Executive and Academic departments. Though a tiger on the athletic field. Joe's prowess with the women can only be described as amazing. A truly likeable guy. we all wish him well for his future. STEPHEN ALGER JOHNSON Steve answered the call of the seas from the landlubber town of Marietta, Georgia. He brought to the Naval Academy a rare combi nation of personality, natural ability, and a sense of humor. No matter what the undertaking, whether on the gridiron as quarterback for the 150-lb. Mighty-Mitcs, or in the classroom where he frequently made the Supt's List, he has been successful, attacking his goal with unusual enthusiasm. Steve was one of the most widely known and popular members of our class, and his easygoing Southern temperament, subtle wit, and receding hairline will long be remembered by all those who knew him well. Steve's post graduate plans are not yet firm. Whatever the future holds for Steve, he is assured the same measure of success throughout life that he enjoyed during his stay at the Naval Academy. EDWARD WILLIAM KRATOVIL Big Ed. as we all affectionately know him, was Jeanette, Pa's loss and USNA's gain. With original intentions of joing the Big Blue, Big Ed decided that football wasn't rough enough, and became a heavyweight wrestler. Although some thought it was out of fear, it was Big Ed's fine leadership which made us look up to him. Although he was not red-hot Supt's List material, we’re sure Big Ed is actually one of the top scholars in our class, because of the many hours he logged in religiously pounding the pages. Analyzing all sides of the problem, using his vast knowledge of Ops Analysis, the payoff matrix inevitably shows an outcome of win for Big” Ed. 306 JOHN ELMER LUDWIG. Ill A native of Baltimore. Maryland, Jack entered the Naval Academy directly after graduating from Baltimore Polytechnic institute, where he excelled in wrestling and lacrosse. Jack soon discovered the tremendous challenges presented by the Naval Academy's tough set of regulations and demanding academic course. Since plebe summer, the Duck as he is known to his more intimate friends for some unknown reason, has become a master of study time evasive maneuvers. Plebe and varsity lacrosse were Jack's primary athletic interests, however, during his Senior year he retired his lacrosse stick so that he might devote his full time to extracurricular sports car racing. All of us will fondly remember the Duck , for his pleasant, easygoing personality formed many a lasting friendship. His high intellectual capacity (although not reflected to his grades) coupled with a natural leadership ability, and a deep sense of rcponsibility will stand Jack in good stead throughout his Naval Career. RICHARD GREGORY NAEDEL Annoyed when he learned that Einstein had discovered Relativity first, Dick left Clearwater, Florida to seek an atmosphere more conducive to high intellectual pursuits. Consequently he applied and was accepted at the Naval Academy. Gallantly, he perserved, and has continually outsmarted both professor and computer alike with his innate mastery of all matters pertaining to science. Although a Physics major, he could send any English prof scurrying to his dictionary in an attempt to decipher the wisdom of his words or inner meaning of his poems. His creativity knew no bounds as he raised and mutated fungus and Venus Fly traps, designed rockets, bombs and mathematical computer programs. His understanding of Applied Weapons' material earned for him the nickname of The Mad Bomber , which has become both his trademark and his appellation. Those who know him realize that his future is limited only by his own imagination. JAMES HARVEY PLETSCHER The 8rigade will little note nor long remember the graduation of the Amiable Polack, James H. ( Peltch ) Pletscher. but it can never forget what he did here (which at the moment is not recallable). One can not fail to note how this lanky philosopher, with his penchant for tall beers and short women, revolutionized Naval Operations Analysis by the introduction of a new, indefensible variable prayer. Besides being a taxidermist of dubious merit. Peltch was also an indefatigable ICOR and an accomplished arsonist. As the numerous petitions to have his bowling shirt retired and placed on display in the Field House were blatantly ignored, no tribute or monument marks the Passing of the Peltch save this brief epilogue. JOHN H. O'NEILL, JR. One of Maryland's favorite sons , John will be remembered most as the only day student m the class of 68. Between Debate trips. Foreign Affairs Conferences, and Supt's List weekends to New York, it was a rare occasion when he could be found in the Hall. However, during those brief visits to Bancroft Hall, he managed to find enough time to keep his stars each semester. A quick thinker and fast talker. John was soon adopted as the company lawyer and well defended his clients” on many occasions. Many of his classmates spent a weekend dragging rather than restricting after consulting their lawyer before statementing a form 2. When he wasn’t busy finding loopholes in USNAR. John could be found researching a new debate case, working with the Newman Club, or exercising his duties as president of the Foreign Relations Club. Although undecided about his future, John will undoubtedly be a success in any field he chooses if he has anything to say about it. 307 THIRD BATTALION EIGHTEENTH COMPANY AU 7 c ' CHRISTOPHER JOSEPH REEBER After spending a year at Trenton Junior College. Chris fulfilled a life long ambition to come to USNA. Rcebs never really had a plebe year, not as most of '68 remembers it. He had the ability of putting on a one man comedy show and Chris was usually busy entertaining the troops. Giving up on the math and science departments around October youngster year enabled him to log in many hours with E.H. G. When he wasn't studying, you could always see him practicing for some company sport with basketball and baseball taking most of his time. Probably the only Firstie never seen watching the tube , his only concern was getting all the free time possible to share with someone special. Either Navy Air or the Surface Navy should find Chris among its midst. Success should be certain in whatever he chooses, for his gift of gab. friendly personality and sincerity in all his efforts will always help him to gain any ambition. GARY THOMAS SATTERFIELD Through the years at Navy, Gary's major contribution was forty hairs each time he combed hi$ hair. However, this increasing lack of hair did not hamper his studies which were always excellent. Gary hailing from Norwood, North Carolina, was active in the BAC and was often seen running around with a hammer and saw. This role became so common that Gary was sometimes considered the carpenter of the 18th company. No one really knew what he was building, but it was a good excuse for tools in his room. Because of his excellent performance and jovial personality he will be a credit to the Navy and through all walks of life. JAMES JOSEPH SCHAFER. JR. Happiness for the Academic Department came from Hammond, Indiana. We called him the Warm Puppy”. 8ut Jim was not the type to waste time on top of a dog to learn, but to master every course he attempted. Jim's nickname conveys a hint of his personality. For besides being admired for his genius and innate common sense, he was well liked for his friendly personality and sincere modesty. Jim's patience amazed us; as he was always willing to explain a difficult equation or theorem to one of his professors having trouble understanding the material. By virtue of Jim's outstanding gifts, society rightfully can expect valuable contributions from our Warm Puppy . DAVID MATHEW THOMPSON Dave entered the brick factory via Mt. Lebanon (Pa.) H.S., where he was a star quarterback. Being a level-headed, conscientious sort, he adapted surprisingly well to the navy way of doing things. Plebe summer posed no major obstacles, save for a Ridiculously Early reveille, and he breezed through Freshman year. Youngster year found him playing 150-lb. football. on activity which took up most of his time each succeeding fall. During the fall of 2 c year Dave had this thing going with the 3rd Batt BOOW for more than a few week-ends. but. that crisis, too. passed away. First class year was the culmination of three years hard work for Dave, although he still found time for football, dragging his OAO. and weapons. Moreover, he gained some practical experience as a leader during his tenure as company commander. Aviation summer put Dave's mind on the express track to Pensacola where he'll eventually get his aviator's wings to wear over the Navy-Marine jump wings he already rates. 308 ALGIMANTAS VASILIAUSKAS Think back to that day during the first summer when you had to remember your classmates' names. You felt like a fool as you asked him again and again how to pronounce it. Vas was the class of the company, whether he was on the soccer field or in the halls modeling the latest in suede sport coats to wear on a date with Julie Christie. Who else in the great brigade had a two week vacation during the great invasion of Virginia Beach. Nor was he one to bilge a buddy. The head start he had from a year at Pratt Institute was Vas' ticket to ride, and ride he did on the sliding rule from the halls of Isherwood to the padded chairs and lullaby bull books of Maury. He brightened the long dull days. Who among us wasn't in love with his sister when we saw her in the middle of the long fall of 1964. The Navy and the world are his. But the White Lithuanian is a good guy: I think he'll leave you the Navy. ROBERT THOMAS WEBB Bob. hailing right out of high school in Oyersburg, Tennessee has not let the Academy change either his free-wheeling views on the pleasures of life or his southern accent. Although a consistent member of the Dean's List. Bob has not let academics interfere with his pursuit of the finer things in life - girls, cars, and fun. not necessarily in that order Bob's contribution to intramurals, particularly company soccer and ficldball. was not only in the form of his hustle but also in his outgoing and cheerful spirit and encouragement for his teammates. Being a firm believer in the brain over brawn theory he wil’ either do immediate post graduate work or ente the nuclear submarine service. 309 1 st CLASSMEN 2nd CLASSMEN 3rd CLASSMEN 4th CLASSMEN 310 SECOND REGIMENTAL STAFFS 1st SET SECOND REGIMENTAL STAFF CDR: J.A.

He spent his four years at the academy energetically and sometimes futilely-defending the Hillbilly” State and trying to put his hometown of Blueficld on the map. Despite the ribbing, though, Lindsey's ready humor and natural friendliness won him many friends throughout the 8rigade. He has the distinction of receiving more and bigger chow packages from home than anyone at the academy. This fact made plcbc year pretty smooth sailing. Als as he was known to his friends, found academics a constant challenge, having had two years of liberal arts in college before coming to the academy. Lindsey had no problem with Bull , but Steam and Skinny kept him up late on many occasions. Als looks forward to a career in Navy Line and we feel that he has a rewarding future ahead of him. WILLIAM VICTOR BAST Before corning to the Naval Academy. Bill spent a year of college in Wisconsin where he developed a fine taste for good times. Known by his friends as Wombat. Bill is liked by all for his congenial personality and keen sense of humor. When not studying or watching the Packers on the tube. Bill could be found fighting the Pad Monster, or supporting Company sports, playing lightweight football, and softball. In academics its always been easy come, easy go for Bill, never yielding to the pressures of big P-works. but always coming out on top of that 2.00 curve. First Class cruise found Bill in Tonkin Gulf on Yankee Station where he received the Vietnamese service medal. After graduation Bill plans to head south towards Pensacola where he will learn the ropes of naval aviation. Billy's beaming personality, pleasant disposition, and loyalty to his friends will always win him success in the service wherever he goes. RAYMOND ERNEST BAUM, JR. Ray ventured to the banks of the Severn from Louisville. Kentucky. From the very first come-around of plebe summer it was obvious that Ray was a fierce competitor in the truest sense of the word. Whether on the field or in the classroom, he never gave less than one hundred per-cent, and his football honors and high academic Standing testify to this. In true Southern Gentleman style, Ray took everything in stride though. Navy Air is Ray's choice, and he has much to offer it. AUGUST JOHN BILLONES Coming from a year at Berkeley and a year as an NROTC midshipman, Auggie contributed greatly to the Academy. A friendly, intellegent, confident person, his two main interests while at the Academy were professional knowledge and Physics. The Plebes, both of 70 and 71 have benefited from the former, and the fleet will benefit. Auggie was Vice-President of the Naval Academy chapter of Sigma Pi Sigma, and participated in very long hours in the Physics labs. His excellence was not confined to Academic matters, however; until injuries caused an early retirement, he was a member of the Varsity fencing team. Auggie comes from San Francisco, and hopes to eventually get back there, at least to Mare Island by going subs. Whether he goes subs or line, air or other, however, the Navy will be getting a fine officer. He'll do well. 314 MICHAEL ORRIS BROSEE A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Broz'' came to the Academy full of high spirits and honor; he never lost one bit of it during his four year stay. No matter how gloomy things got, even in the dark ages, Broz had the rare quality of being able to brighten things up. He seemed to spread good will and enthusiasm wherever he went. He was an ardent sport enthusiast, spending three years as a member of the Plebe and Varsity football teams, and coaching the Batt team in his last year. Broz was a hard-charger whether at work or play. The Navy will be getting a fine man in June of '68. LOUIS EDWARD CIMAGLIA Starving himself from Sunday to Thursday to make weight for the 150’s has become a ritual for Lou every fall. A transfer from Rutgers, he brought his considerable talent on the gridiron to the Severn along with his penchant for leadership. From the first days of plebe summer Lou was recognized for this quality and was on the top of everyone's grease ladder. Never liking a dull moment, he had some exciting times as a plebe summer squad leader, as well as during second class year keeping the executive department on its toes at all times. When not competing with the Mighty Mites. weekends would usually find Lou in the more enjoyable company of the opposite sex. What the future holds for Lou will be determined at service selection time, but one thing for sure - he will be eating normally' CHARLES ARLINGTON DITTMAR A Navy Junior and former Washingtonian, Charley now claims Eugene. Oregon, as his home, and Hawaii and the West Coast as his playground. Out of the dizzle of the North West Coast and into the Fog of Annapolis arrived our hero, sniffles and all a potential JV All American soupy excelled in sports of every kind, except man's favorite.

His intelligence, hard work, and desire to excel will insure a successful career in his choosen field of the Naval Service. NED WILLIAM GARRIGUES Ned came from the West Fields of Kansas to the Bay waters of Maryland to excel in academics and crew. An excellent student, he made the most of his study time and was always on the Supt's list, and often on the Dean's list. The major's program m oceanography attracted Ned. and he found it easy to adapt his hobbies of biological research and scuba diving to the marine element. Navy was really Canoe U” to Ned. because so often he was out on the seven bolstering Navy's varsity crew effort. A Nuclear Power candidate. Ned will specialize in Oceanography and be a fine Naval Officer. 315 FOURTH BATTALION NINETEENTH COMPANY JOHN XAVIER GOLICH Johnny X. , J.X., Or just plain X are names well known to all of us, and they all refer to this native son of Chicago. John came to Navy after a year at the University of Detroit, but still managed to be one of the youngest men in the Company. A proud mid. he has definite ideas and has often taken a good kidding about the Chicago Bears or the Marine Corps. John is quite an athlete, excelling m football and track, but having more than his share of miseries in the icy waters of Macdonough Hall. Letting neither swimming, nor navigation get him down, John has continued to improve his grades and knocked on the gates of Supt's List land. When he leaves the hallowed halls, John will migrate south to Quantico where he will un-doubtcdly become a great asset to the Marine Corps. GREGORY HORNEY Coming to the Academy from high school. Greg ran into a little bit of trouble plebe year. It seemed as though the first class and the Skinny Department were both trying to reduce the number in our class by one. However with a little work and a lot of luck he managed to pull through. Youngster year brought the support Greg needed. Things began to brighten up and the end of second class year found Greg on the Supt's List. Football, fieldball. and rugby took up his afternoons, although some people will accuse him of occasionally missing practice. His ability to make people laugh will be a great help to him. and to the Naval Service. DAVID MICHAEL LOHR Graduating from Wheaton High School. Dave turned to Bullis Prep for a year before coming to the Naval Academy. A Navy Junior and son of a 1943 grad, he has lived in Maryland for the last ten years. Dave is most noted for football career even though he has seen plenty of action on the Varsity lacrosse field and has earned stars for his academic record. His two years at first string guard for the Varsity and a starter for the plebes has made his name coincident with the fortunes of the Big Blue. When not on the field, he is envolved with the Naval Academy Christian Association or the Officers Christian Union which have benefited from his four years of active membership. Here is a man who truly fulfilled that often quoted mission of the Naval Academy. Yes, his Moral. Mental and physical keennnesswill make him an asset to any fleet wardroom. RONALD ALFRED MALMGREN Ron. affectionately known by his classmates as Baldy . came to the Naval Academy from Long Branch, Pennsylvania. During his four year stay he was active in contact sports such as football (plcbc Battalion and Company teams) and intramurals soccer and rugby. His non-athletic and non-academic time was spent singing in the Antiphonal Choir or building model airplanes- Ron showed a great knowledge and interest in aviation and looked forward to becoming an aviator for either the Marines or the Navy. His good sense of humor, easygoing attitude and natural attraction for fun and entertainment will win him friends wherever he goes. 316 WARD BEACHER MASDEN, JR. Hailing from Arlington. Virginia. Ward came to the Naval Academy following two years at N.C. STATE. When he arrived, Mos wasted no time in making a name for himself in the Naval Academy sports world. In his first year on the Varsity rifle team, he earned a Navy N. As a second classman, Mos lead The Navy marksmen to five National Championships winning some twenty medals in the process. But he had other interests too - mainly the fairer sex. Study hours would find Mos either at his desk writing letters or down at the phones. His weekends were usually pretty well taken up with what weekends arc usually taking up with. This left no time for study- even but Mos somehow squeeked through. In the future. Ward hopes to be found in the air-conditioned cockpit of a P-3 Orion, doing gentle S-turns over the blue Pacific. We feel that he has a great future in store for him in Naval Aviation. DOUGLAS DUVALL MCAHON Doug, hailing from Washington. O. C., came to Annapolis directly from Anacostia bringing with him that certain South East flair which has made him so well liked by everyone. Doug devoted his athletic ability to the track team for his first two years and then to Company and Battalion sports which profited greatly from his spirit and energy. Monday evenings he could be found excelling in another area while devoting his talents to the Anthiponal Choir. Always to be found with a bright outlook on life, Lightning, “Duvall or The Count , as he became known was always where the action is. Dedicated to a career in Navy Air Dug's energy and devotion will make him one of the Navy's finest flyers MICHAEL TILGHMAN NEALE Hailing from Arizona. Mike came to the academy from NAPS. From the day he arrived he never lost one bit as the enthusiasm he brought with him. Mike’s interests ranged from music even after he retired from the Glee Club to sports. He breezed through his bull courses and. in a true Bull major's fashion, ignored science courses. He gave his all in every field he ventured into, which, in turn, inspired better performances from everyone with whom he came in contact. Mike will be remembered as a most sincere and reliable man, and probably as the best popcorn maker the Academy has ever seen. Navy Air will be getting one outstanding officer when Mike graduates TIMOTHY ALAN NOBRIGA Tim came to the Academy from Santa Clara University in Santa Clara. California. Having played linebacker for the Santa Clara Varsity Tim put his athletic experience to good use in plebe boxing and as a starter for the plebe football team. Tim now is a stalwart on the Varsity Ocean Racing Team as well as helping to keep the Car Committee moving. Tim's easy going nature and outgoing personality are reflected in the ease with which he wins friends. His interest, life and quick spirit keep him constantly on the go. His hard work and aggressive attitude toward any job he undertakes, insure him a successful future and a happy life. 317 FOURTH BATTALION NINETEENTH COMPANY JOHN RANDOLPH ROBBINS Fresh from The Land of Lincoln John carved his own tradition. Known as an outstanding student and hard worker he blazed a trail of achievements which would even make Abe jealous. Robbie didn't spend all of his time working for that Aero-Space major, however. He is a member of the Ring and Crest committee, and is a first rate ocean sailor, and scuba diver. Aviation and the ocean were not his only loves; (faring liberty hours he could be found enjoying the local sights along Maryland Avenue. After graduation and a brief stop at the Chapel he plans to continue his education and then earn his wings at Pensacola. John's intelligence, great desire, and capacity for hard work will insure his success and add a great deal to the Naval Service. STEVEN JAMES REDEKER Steve (Rabbit) came from the Golden State of California with a tremendous amount of undying energy. He channeled most of this energy into his academics, for which he was awarded high grades and membership in the Physics Honor Society, Sigma Pi Sigma. Throughout his career at Navy he always maintained a cheerful attitude and was never wanting for a witty remark in any situation. Even the rigors of the Dental and the Executive Departments were not enough to cause a frown to appear on his ever smiling face. Besides his ability to create a cheerful attitude he was a valued member of the Company Intramural Program. With his intelligence, ability to get along with anyone, and his ceaseless energy, Steve will be a valued member of whatever branch of the service he chooses to enter. MICHAEL ALLAN RUTH After leaving East Rochester High School Mike came to the Academy ready to tackle any of the activities piebc year had to offer. His wide ranging athletic ability, along with his musical inclinations shown in Glee Club and Choir, helped him make many friends. Sleeping through a good part of youngster year. Mike soon found himself into second class year. He always managed to maintain a very respectable average, although at times his thoughts were turned to the fairer sex. The well-rounded combination of ambition, initiative, self-confidence, and his winning ways will serve Mike for many years to come. Hard work and determination have never been obstacles to him, so his only limits in the future are the desires and goals to which he sets his heart. ROBERT ARNOLD SCHREIBER A Navy Junior claiming San Francisco as his home. Bob has been pursuing the career at sea for many years After high school, 8ob enlisted and spent a year as a blue jacket before going to NAPS. At both Bainbridge and the Academy, 8ob has always been high in the Grease standings even though some of his escapades have placed him in a perilous position with Big Brother .

A desire to learn and an easygoing nature are a good basis for his successful future. RICHARD PAUL SPENGLER Coming to the academy from nearby Howard County. Rich brought with him an avid interest in electronics. This interest led him into the wires lare by minoring in Electronics. Even though he frequently bit bolts with the pad monster, he was on the Supt's list most of the time, and occasionally on the dean's list. Nothing escaped his everpresent clever wit. His comments could make any dull show interesting. First class cruise convinced him that Navy Air was his calling. Always adverse to a dull life, we'll probably see him heading for hot jets. RICHARD JAMES THIBEAU Hailing from the small town of Norfolk, Massachusetts, Rick came to the shores of the Severn right after his graduation from King Philip High in Wrentham. Massachusetts. Having an excellent educational background, Rick energetically tackled the tough Naval Academy academics, choosing Chemistry as his field of concentration.

With his fine sense of humor and easy going manner, Rick made many friends. His hobbies included rock and roll and sports two subjects which we feel sure that no one in the 8rigade knows any more about than Rick. As for outside activities, he did a lot of business with the Academy post office. Rick hopes to wear the Gold Dolphins and wc see a successful career in store for him. 319 JOHN WILLIAM STOVALL A resident of California, John spent two years in the Navy before entering the Academy. A very valuable friend to say the least. John was always quick to lend a helping hand to a classmate. A Foreign Affairs major, with four years in the Foreign Relations club, he was always well informed. His wit has a challenge and was a welcome addition to any conversation. He spent so much time in Maury Hall, he was frequently found asleep there. However, undetered by irritated professors, he always managed to get good grades, if by no other means, by osmosis. 1 st CLASSMEN 320 C -V. 1st SET CDR: L. Carter, II; SUB-CDR: J.W.

Maryland, came to the Naval Academy after a year at Franklin and Marshall University. After graduation he will probably be remembered most for his uncommon attraction to the opposite sex which can be verified by the fine quality of his weekend drags. On most weekday afternoons you will usually find Bill on the handball Court or on one of the academy's athletic fields. He is a highly motivated Midshipman with his chief interests in the wonders of Nuclear Power, and on Sunday through Friday nights you will usually find him pounding the books. His sense of responsibility and will to excel are well known throughout the Company as two of his finest attributes. Bill will surly make one of the finest officers in the Navy and will always be a credit to its traditions. LYNNCARTER.il Skip reported to the Naval Academy from the New England town of Lynnfield, Massachusetts, bringing with him a tremendous amount of enthusiasm, outstanding abilities, and a guitar. In four years he still may not have succeeded in mastering that guitar, but he has succeeded in becoming one of the most outstanding Company Commanders in the 8rigadc. Looking back over the past four years, we realize they just wouldn't have been the same without L the Two . Throughout the rigors of plebe year, the good times we enjoyed together, the responsibilities we later inherited. Skip was always ready to lend a helping hand. Skip's steady leadership, his organizational abilities, and his willingness and capacity for work have made him an invaluable asset to his classmates and to the Brigade. He will undoubt-ably become one of our outstanding Naval Officers in future years. JOHN FREDERICK DALTON Dalts came to USNA as directly as possible from his high school in Mountain Home, Idaho. He stood number 13 in the class after plebe year but his desire to maintain a graduation watch on the pad youngster year and hi$ love affair with the boob tube the last two years have collectively dropped him all the way to the mid twenties. He can always be counted on for academic help even when he hasn't time for his own. After he secured on Varsity baseball, he became an invaluable asset to the Company soccer, basketball, and softball teams. Shortly after John earns his Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech, some marine air wing will acquire one of its finest officers. JOHN LEE DRURY Chip made a short trip from Falls Church, Virginia to the Naval Academy, bringing with him numerous qualities of an outstanding leader. His academic performance is envied by many of his classmates. No one can complain so vociferously about bilging a test only to have it returned as one of a very limited number in the class receiving an Alfa . More can anyone sleep through as many classes and study hours and still end the semester to the tune of a 4.01 No less admirable were his achievements in the professional field, as attested by his excellent performance as Fourth Battalion Sub-Commander. Majoring in Aeronautical Engineering, and with his sights set on Navy Air, Druz-z-z will undoubtedly excel in leadership and command in the service. 322 STEPHEN MICHAEL DWYER On June 30, 1964 the South yielded one of her best sons to the Academy. Mike, better known as GROG , came directly to the Academy after graduating from Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Tennessee, where he had made an excellent name for himself both in academics and athletics. Mike has upheld the South in all respects, as his grades and athletic prowess on the football field will prove. Being an easy going person, Mike has had no trouble making friends and finding good times. Mike's personality, great drive, and stick-to-it-ncss will allow him to excel in any field that he enters upon leaving the Academy. In short, the South's loss has been the Academy's and our gain. DARYL LEE GOETZ Coming to the Academy after a year at the University of Missouri, Rolla, Daryl was well prepared for the Math and Engineering at Navy. The Weapons department, however, found an eager and interested student in Daryl, who set hrs sights on a Systems Engineering major. Daryl's common sense approach to problems and his ability to get things done were put to good use building spirit in his platoon during the fall set. Afternoons will find him either out on the intramural field or passed out on the Blue Trampoline. Although Daryl spends a lot of time trying to keep up with the Academic Departments, he still has time to work with the Car Committee and the LUCKY BAG Staff. His drive, enthusiasm and professional attitude will assure Daryl of a very successful future in Navy Air. STUART DOUGLAS HAMMONS Hailing from the booming metropolis of Barboursville. Kentucky, Stu took his talents to the University of Kentucky before entering the Naval Academy. Not particularly devoted to academics. Stu is remembered more for his spirit and fire on the sports field and in the field of parties, than his time with the books. Stu's consideration of his classmates was an ever present trait. When he wasn't in bed sleeping or reading, he was out playing Varsity football and fieldball. His loyalty as a friend could never be questioned. Always willing to help out in any possible way, a better classmate would be hard to find. Whichever branch of service Stu selects, will indeed, be fortunate to receive such a fine and honest individual. THOMAS FRANKLIN HARPER H came to USNA from St. John's High School in Santurlc. Puerto Rico. He was born in Cuba, and spent his first year of high school at Coral Gables in Florida. Plebc year wasn’t the easiest year of his life but he did manage to survive without any permanent scars. He adiusted to Navy life, and has made many close friends at USNA. He is a Spanish major, with a minors in pad time. H now has put his all into Company sports, playing soccer, basketball, and softball. Tom hasn't decided on his service selection yet but whatever he decides to do his personality and good naturedness will surely make him a success. 323 FOURTH BATTALION TWENTIETH COMPANY 10 GORDON E. HEITZMAN Gordy. an easy-going fellow from the land of ten thousand lakes, is one person who is always good to have around. He can always be counted on to lend a hand in a tight spot or add a spark of humor to a dull moment. He is one who took the rocky academic course. Aerospace Engineering. What better prelude to flight school could there be? Gordy is an enthusiastic participant in a variety of activities, from intramural athletics to the LOG business staff and a stiff self-improvement reading program. We will enjoy seeing the same spirit in action once he gets his plane. JOHN WADE HEINTZ. JR. Being the eldest son of a very Navy family, John lived in nine different cities before he came to the Naval Academy. In high school he was a fine athlete in three sports and has continued this record during his years as a Midshipman. John has also distinguished himself consistently as an outstanding leader, being the Company Sub-Commander during the fall set. He has the unique quality of being able to get along with most everyone and to influence those around him greatly. To complete the well rounded Midshipman John indulges in the social side of life and is often seen dragging the best looking girls in the area. His good looks and outgoing personality serve him well in this pursuit. With his many attributes John will undoubtedly become one of the most outstanding officers in the Navy. MARK BYRON KEEF Mark Byron Kcef came to us after a year's stay on the campus of Lewis Clark College in Oregon. Mark brought with him an interest and talent in music that has entertained us all. During his stay he has excelled in securing money for his trips to California and finding ways to get back on time after being bumped off hops. Academically he has been a consistent member of the Supt s list and a more than occasional member of the Dean's list. A major in Chemistry will attest to his prowess. In the realm of sports. Mark's many hours spent working in the weight room ha e made him a stalwart of the 8att team, and also paid off under the boards of the Batt basketball team. Probably the talent for which we will most remember Mark, was his ability to arrange some of the best parties that were ever thrown in these parts. He helped make everyone's four years here a lot brighter. KARL VICTOR KOENIG Born and raised in the town that made beer famous. Karl came to the Academy directly from high school. With his agile mind and resilient spirit, he made plcbe year an enjoyable and profitable experience. Karl found a new love in going down to the sea in yawls, and his absence of many weekends has proven his fidelity to the Racing Squadron. Karl also spends many hours at work as the LOG'S Business manager. Books haven't been Karl's greatest trouble, which can be seen by the grades he's piled up while working at his Aerospace major. Karl's sense of humor and professional interest will stand him in good stead as a part of Navy's flying team. 324 ROBERT WILLIAM MADEL Mades came to the Academy right after a high school career at Lower Morland H.S. in Huntington Valley. Pa. A natural athlete, he was too small for varsity competition but contributed to Company sports in a big way. He holds the official USNA record of going through the most roommates in four years. His better than average grades were achieved through diligent effort and hard work-but never at the expense of good times. For some reason, Mades” has always been enthusiastic about trips to Durham, N.C. whenever he got the chance. He has oecided on a surface career, one at which ha will undoubtedly excel after graduation and in which he will be able to apply his minor. Management. ROBERT JEREL MILLER Bob entered Navy just after graduating from High Point High School in nearby Greenbelt- The D B got him by virtue of his talent with the bugle, and his similar skill with the trombone earned him a spot in the Concert 8and. Early in his plebe year. Blade , as he is better known by many of his classmates, decided to use his height and frame to good advantage by trying out for the lightweight crew team. Although he was new at the sport. Bob soon learned its finer points and went on to win a Varsity letter. He is a steady customer of the wardroom, but that seems to have little affect on his grades. Standing in the top 10%. he has been on the Supt’s List since those first grades came out. While studying. Bob listens to Country and Western music, something for which he has become famous, at least to nearby rooms. Bob's alert mind, perseverance, and leadership ability will certainly carry him far in his career of Naval Service. MICHAEL PATRICK MOORE Mike arrived at USNA from the far reaches of Castro Valley. California. He immediately put to good use his quick mind, dedication to the Navy and crosscountry abilities as he ran through plebe summer and plebe year. Mike always managed to be at the top in the academic arena despite an occasional blow landed by the Bull Department and the difficulties imposed by building amplifiers during exam week. In the day to day encounters with the Executive Department, M.P. usually managed to come out on top. although there were the occasional set backs. As a Company Commander, and indeed in everything he has done. Mike has shown the outstanding leadership abilities, the professionalism, and the pride and dedication which will undoubtably lead to an outstanding career. JOHN HENRY MILNER. JR. John Henry came to the Academy from Greenwood. Mississippi via Bulbs Prep. Milns never sweated academics but if he had been able to major in guitar he would have stood tops in the class. He spent most of his study hours oscillating between the Spiffy room and the phones. John pulled the supreme faux pas along with a goodly number of his classmates by signing up for an Engineering minor; which, however, should prove useful at Pensacola where he will stop after graduation. Milns amazing musical talent and his great sense of humor will make him a valuable contribution to the fleet. 325 FOURTH BATTALION TWENTIETH COMPANY GARRY DEAN NELSON Garry joined the Brigade immediately after graduation from high school. Having come from the state of sunshine and fun, he has always had trouble adjusting to the climate of Annapolis and the Naval Academy. A third choice Weapons major, he has found the department to his liking and is gunning for an Immediate Masters Program at Michigan State. One stripe and a couple of years of stars being his glory, he fills in his extra hours in the blue bag or playing with intramural soccer and heavyweight football teams, one of which turned up Brigade Champs. Although he has no definite future plans, flying a green helo is exciting. JOSEPH ANTHONY SFARA Trading in his coal dust for a double breasted blue blazer with gold buttons, Snarf rolled into Annapolis and immediately began logging in huge quantities of things like comearounds and hours in the pad. Joe concentrated his efforts on football, Political Theory and passing out class pins, much to the advantage of the First 8att. team, his own QPR, and several female acquaintances. Ouring 2 c year however, hours in the pad were sacrificed for many hours in the steam room; all of which payed off with a starting spot on the 150 no. football squad and an N sweater with which to win friends and influence people. Never hesitant with his natural Italian charm, Joe perfected his style during his one c cruise in the Med and is surely a candidate for honors in the human relations field. All in all, it would be much to the Navy's advantage if it never quite recovers from its experience with Joe. DONALD EDWARD SMITH Smitty came to Mother Bancroft from Terry Parker High in Jax., Fla. Although he was a football player in high school, he decided to give the Plcbc crew team a try. After a cold and $oggy year stroking the Severn, his attention was turned to intramural soccer and heavyweight touch football. His great pass catching ability, likened him to the great Tulsa End, Howard K. Twilly, hence his nickname Twiley. His ability on the sports field is exceeded only by unbelievable capacity for food which gives rise to another name bestowed affectionately upon him. Behemoth. Woe be to the plebes on his table at chow time. Being .a Management minor and having learned his lessons well, he manages to spend most of his free periods and spare time in the pad. His Southern charm and sense of humor will send blue skies and fair seas his way throughout his naval career. DAVID CAMPBELL STEERE Dave came to the Naval Academy from McLean, Virginia, where as a Navy junior he has finally found a town that he can call home town . His varied background and interests have led him to try his hand on the Varsity fencing team, and often late on a Saturday night he can be found talking to far away places from the Radio club station where he is Vice President. A great appreciation of the members of the opposite sex and a love for music and travel make him a natural for the Glee Club, and Chapel Choir. Highly motivated for a navy career, and an assiduous worker, Dave should be an asset to any phase of the Navy. MICHAEL JOSEPH TKATCH After coming to the Naval Academy from St. Mary's High School in Lorain. Ohio it seemed like our Buds never stopped talking. More often than not, he kept those around him laughing with his talk and antics. Thack has been a big asset to the company intramural teams and somehow managed to keep his grades around the Supt's List level. This was a minor miracle considering his love of bull sessions and television. Weekends might find Mike anywhere; anywhere, that is. except in Bancroft Hall. Mike has not yet decided on the branch of the naval service in which he will put his Mechanical Engineering major to use. but no matter what branch he selects we know he will be an outstanding officer. With his willingness to help others and his great sense of humor, he will be a welcome addition to any wardroom. RICHARD WILLIAM VIRTUE Virtch was a graduate of Columbia High School where he was a standout in football, swimming, and lacrosse. He was also a member of the famous Maplewood Lacrosse Club and competed against the plebes on occasion. He winged his way toward Bancroft via NAPS. USNA also benefited from Dick's outstanding athletic prowess as can be seen by the many stars on his N sweater for 150 pound football and lacrosse. Two of the many highlights of his career as a midshipman were his selection to the All-East 150 pound football team and his election as President of the N Club. On the academic scene. Virtch was careful to get plenty of sleep while keeping his head above water. Aside from his fiancee and sports his favorite things are 'Vettes, and sharp clothes. Dick’s determination and dedication will always assure him victory in any field he may choose. THOMAS GREGORY WOODS Tom Woods, a native of Rochester, New York, entered the Academy at age 18. Tom had little difficulty adjusting to the life of a midshipman and soon distinguished himself as a leader among his classmates. His athletic endeavors though limited to intramural were characterized by his keen competitive spirit and good common sense. Academically Tom's efforts were directed toward ship propultion in which he ultamely revived a minor. His career plans were chiefly formulated on first class cruise aboard the Bon Horn Richard CVA 31 in action at Yankee station. He returned from the experience dedicated to naval aviation. 327 PAUL E. WILSON Paul came over from his father's Army to join the great Navy way. An all-around athlete in his high school days, he made a hit with company football and softball, winding up in the big time as head manager for Navy football. Paul came to Navy as the Vocal King of Altus High and upheld this tradition every Sunday with the Antiphonal Choir. Other long standing traditions were upheld as well while counting the local belles from the shadow of Mahan to the depths of Dalgren on more weekends than the Oean would approve of. Whether it's Marine green or wings of gold, Paul and hts ops analysis should manage the team. 3rd CLASSMEN 4th CLASSMEN 1 st CLASSMEN 2nd CLASSMEN 328 2nd SET COR: B.L. Powell; SUB-COR: A.J.

He claims Caldwell, Idaho as his hometown and the University of Idaho as a former institution of learning for two years. Academically, it's been a long, hard war for Arns . This was not the first institution in which Tom came up against such opposition and this time he came through with flying colors. Tom gained quick recognition from the upperclass our Plebe year due to his fu«y cheeks. Arns was a fighting man though, in the true sense of the word, for after plebe year he continued to fight. If he wasn't doing battle with the books or the heavyweight bags around the boxing ring, he could always be found battling that loveable menace to all Mids, the pad-monster . A frustrated pilot, Tom joined his roommate in producing model aircraft which helped carry him to greater academic heights in his chosen minor of Aerodynamics. PETER 8IRNEY BISHOP Pete is one of those Mids who can call almost any place home, but home is where the heart is, and he claims Arlington, Va. Once claimed by '67, he joined us just before those frightening days when we met the Brigade so many centuries ago. Since that time he has been a true member of 68-X, sharing our numerous joys and sorrows. As fate would have it, his hopes for an N in gymnastics died in many trips to Misery Hall, but Pete did manage to letter twice with the Executive Dept., as his B-robe testifies. The Mad Hatter and his WRNV show often helped to make those thirteen reveille bells a little more bearable, and who hasn't drowned his study hour sorrows in Pete's numerous cartoons found in the Log and Splinter. Pete's hopes are set on subs, but no matter where he goes, we'll remember him as a fine officer and a true friend. FRANK J. BLAKE Frank came to USNA following his graduation from Sulphur High School, Sulphur. Louisiana. F. J., as we know him, soon found, however, that academics weren't really his cup of tea. As a consequence, he could usually be found pouring over writings from the mysterious scholastic world. When not employed in this activity, Frank was either playing his guitar, writing to his fiancee, or sleeping. Athletically, we found hrs prowess of great service to the Company soccer, football, and baseball teams. An easy going person by nature, Frank has proven himself a true friend and outstanding leader. With his valuable assets, it is inevitable that Frank will excel in his chosen field of Navy Line. DAVID RANDALL BRANDON For Randy, take some quiet Nebraska humor, season with a general good nature and a quick smile, simmer over the long time slow fire and a good guy that’s something more than easy to get along with happens. With one year at the University of Nebraska, Randy had a head start at understanding how to slash Navy's books. But it wasn't there that he became such a hard charger. He took up handball as something to do, and lead the Battalion team to a Brigade Championship. If Randy's not playing handball, he's studying, or sleeping. But always on his way to being a fine Naval Officer. 330 JOHN SMEALLIE BURKS John, a third generation Academy man, came to us from Kailue, Hawaii, where he was graduated from Punahou School in 1964. He brought with him a matchless sense of humor and an insatiable thirst for Aero-Space engineering. When academics wasn’t consuming most of his time, John could usually be found either waxing his surf board or his skies. Waging a four year war with the Executive department, the Wart tried to mix his weekends between restriction and girls; the former occupying his time, the latter his interest. A true fun lover, John could usually be found where it was happening or at least trying to get there. Pointing his sights to Pensacola, John hopes to earn his wings of gold upon graduation, and join the ranks in Naval Aviation. With his ability and personality, John will excel m any field he chooses. CONRAD HAROLD CADMAN Conrad, better known to all of us as Radish , hails from that booming metropolis of Orchard Park. New York, where he graduated from high school in 1964. During the first year of his stay here. Radish learned many things, but it wasn't until his first class year that he really became a standout among midshipmen. It was then that Conrad came to find his place at the academy, and he distinguished himself by setting records for time away from navy, in the wardroom by the T.V., in the pad, and with his girl. Conrad's prowess in soccer, football, baseball. and waterpolo, along with his enthusiasm on the playing field, helped to win many victories for our intramural teams. Getting good grades with a minimum of study was one of his specialties, and he was always quick to help anyone less fortunate. It was not on a ship that he was most happy so Conrad plans to make flying his navy life. With all the fine qualities Conrad possesses there is no doubt that he will be an ace pilot and an excellent Naval Officer. FREDERICK BYRON COLE Fred Cole came to us from Sunny Butuin-game. California. He quickly adjusted to the miserable Maryland weather and settled down to an enjoyable four years at the Academy. Dividing his time equally between Battalion cross-country and the big blue trampoline, Fred excelled at both. He had a few skirmishes with the academic departments but came out on top (of his rack). With his easy going personality, endless supply of Marlboros and short (graying) hair Fred will make a welcome addition to a lucky Marine Aviation unit. GREGORY JOHN DAVIES Greg, known to hi$ many friends as Monk , is the oldest of two sons in an Air Force family. June of ’64 saw him arriving at the Academy from Cheyenne. Wyoming. After an interesting plebe year under the tutorship of the upperclass. any given weekend might find a short-haired cowboy sauntering down the streets of D.C., pipe in hand and a pretty young Bethesda resident close by his side. Famous for his unparalleled talent of sleeping in any position at any time. Monk still managed to achieve a 3.0 by the end of second class year. If his eyes withstand the many late nights of burning the midnight oil, Greg will surely be a welcome addition to the aviators of the U.S. Navy. 331 FOURTH BATTALION TWENTY-FIRST COMPANY TIMOTHY WILLIAM DUFFY Duffs came to Navy from the wonderful world of Pennsylvania McKeesport, to be exact. Recognized from the start for his athletic ability not to mention his draught horse legs he spent many, many afternoons brawling over the competition in intramurafs. Duffs is not the typical character one imagines when an athlete from Pennsylvania is mentioned though - certainly his grades attest to his ability and desire to win that game too. His studies in aerospace engineering will serve him well, as his immediate future is filled with plans of planes and things. But the quality that makes Duffs so well liked is his friendly, quick-to-smile nature that has won so many friends for him in the past as it will surely do in the future. RICHARD FRANCIS ELLIOTT Dick or Rif , as he is better known to those of us who meet him daily at Hubbard Hall, calls his hometown Seattle, Washington and comes to us straight from high school. He is known best for his prowess in that never-ending battle for truth, grades, and the midshipman way of life against the Academic Department in that he has won the coveted stars for all four years. In this respect he has not only won the battles of mid-terms and finals, he has also won the war of class-standing for he is one of our 16 Trident Scholars. In between books, Dick has found time to win 3 gold N's in lightweight crew which he captained his first class year and 1 darker color N in Plebe Indoctrination on the Detail. Our first set Company Commander and our Company Honor Representative for four years, Dick has also won the respect of his classmates through his example of a devout and religious life. Rif , who hopes to go EDO or Subs, will certainly be one the most outstanding officers to ever enter the Fleet. SIDNEY WILLIAMS EMERY, JR. Known to everyone as Chip, Sid came to the Academy from Sprmgvale. Maine, lobster country of the USA. He settled into life here easily, as his bright personality and good sense of humor enabled him to make friends quickly. He had no trouble with academics and wore stars after the first semester of Plebe Year. His First Class Year was filled with a Trident Scholarship on Merchant Marine problems. Chip found Rugby to his liking and every afternoon during the Fall you could find him running madly around. He has his sights aimed at Navy Line, and with his tremendous abilities there is no doubt that he will excel as a Naval Officer. DAVID MICHAEL FERRELL The hills of West Virginia may be a far cry from the halls of Mother B , but when Mike was around, it was hard to tell the difference. His down-to-earth humor and his home-spun advice will long be remembered by his classmates and friends. The words his Pappy used to say. . helped many a Mid forget about Nav. Ops. and look onward to better things. Although wires was his minor, a major in the pad came easily for him, and at times it seemed that the OOD always knew where to find Mike at about 0616. But when there were things to be done. Mike was ready, willing and able. No one was surprised when the Excc.Dept. dealt him three gold stripes, and no one was in doubt that he could do whatever he wanted to do. His interests ranged from academics to the drag-houses out in town, and his accomplishments were known from Florida to New York. The smooth southern drawl and cherubic smile just came natural for the pride of Logan, W. Va. Mike will always be a welcome addition to any crew, and a credit to the Naval service. 332 JAMES RICHARD FOX Rich Fox. hailing from California, joins us with a keen interest in Navy Line. This interest was reflected in his Girlie board which had all the playmates carefully covered in the right spots with destroyer pictures. Seriously speaking Rich has many talents and was active in the Juice Gang and pop music concert committee. Rich's professional knowledge and devotion to the Navy will make him a welcome addition to the wardroom of a destroyer. RUSSELL HAROLD HERMANSON Arriving at USNA from Point Pleasant, New Jersey, via the Naval Reserve and Columbian Prep. Herm has valiantly defended himself against the inroads which academics make on liberty time. The result was several minor disasters and two trips to the long, green table on 4 1. Undeterred by academic demands. Russ found time for several ECA's. Singing first-bass in the Antiphonai choir, he held the position of secretary-treasurer. During youngster year he was Rep. for the Trident Society and for the last two years he was Company NACA Rep. Hem's athletic interests were centered around the Company, where he excelled in soccer and provided the mainstay of the Company heavyweight football team as quarterback.

JAMES THOMAS KROLL Arriving at the Academy after a year detour at Bullis. Jim hails from West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. J.T. as he is known by his friends has been a real asset to Navy's basketball team. After starting on the plebe team Jim tried his hand at the varsity level. Although he hasn't lettered his hustle and determination has earned him the respect and confidence of his teammates Jim doesn't exactly burn the midnight oil but with a passing average he finds he is able to devote his time to more favorable pursuits. Its a rare weekend indeed when J.T. isn't dragging some lovely Upon graduation Jim hopes to go Navy Air where he'll surely excel both in the air and on the ground.

He continued this record at the Academy playing Football and Lacrosse. In Lacrosse, John made All American and was elected co-captain of the team. John's activities were not limited to the athletic field. Socially John was quite the ladies man, and he was always available to represent the company at those parties we all enjoyed. John is thinking of a career in aviation or the mine force, whichever he choses we wish him the best of luck. 333 FOURTH BATTALION TWENTY-FIRST COMPANY THOMAS EDMOND NOEL Tom came to the Academy from Tulsa with the idea of wrestling for the Big Blue Team, but his only major grappling was with the Naval Science Department and Naval Operations. Tom is always a fierce competitor, whether it be in wrestling. Company sports, or fighting for a seat in the wardroom. He will always be remembered for his love of a good time which many times forced academics to be postponed until the early hours of the morning. Tom always has the answer for any question about the Marine Corps, and his enthusiasm for becoming a Marine Officer will carry him through the rice patties of Viet Nam and send him on his way to becoming the Commandant of Marines. RICHARD DALLAM MUNNIKHUYSEN. JR. Rick, known as Munns to his friends, hails from Annandalc. Va. He attacked plebe year with his typical vigor A standout on the Batt football team, he prefers defense but often goes both ways. But Munns will be remembered more for his practical jokes than his football. If there was a water battle in 21 you can be sure Munns had a hand in it. His battle cry, not retaliation but obliteration has been heard many times from behind a well aimed water balloon. Upon graduation Rick hopes to go into A-4's but with his firstic bulge it looks like it will have to be a P 3. 9 • BLAKE L. POWELL Known to his classmates as 8LP , Blake came to Annapolis as a natural Navy man. intent upon keeping up the family tradition of high ranking CEC officers. While in his favorite surroundings of Spanish bullfight posters and the best in stereos, Blake managed to keep well enough ahead of the profs to wear star during his 1 C year. Often he could be found putting the last careful touches on a favorite model car or adding another edition to the most complete science fiction library in the Brigade. Yet foremost on Blake's mind was a certain William and Mary co-ed and at many a Homecoming could be heard the slightest Go Indians from the midst of the Midshipman section. With his keen mind and strong interest in the Navy, Blake is sure to become one of the finest Seabce officers ever. RONALD VINCENT RICCI Ron hails from Falmouth, Massachusetts, a small town on Cape Cod. An Air Force Junior, he decided that the Navy had more in store for him and set out for the sunny shores of the Naval Academy. Plebe year at once found him and along the way so did the nickname Airborne . Very talented at the books, Ron managed to make Supt's List with a minimum of study and a maximum of sleep. In his spare time he could be found in the rack, or building a do-it-yourself stereo system. To beat the system, Ron has decided to go Nuclear Power, but whatever he does, the Navy will have a good man for the job. 334 m DENNIS RIFKIN Dennis comes to us from the Windy City. While in high school he excelled in footbell and here he has been a welcome addition to the Batt football teams, aiding greatly in their championship seasons. Rifs or S.J. as he's known to his friends is always good for a laugh. He has been the butt of many jokes about his muscular figure with its plentiful reserve of potential energy , but always comes out with a smile on his face. The Jew chose Mechanical Engineering as his field of academic endeavor. Although he can rattle off formulas about enthalpy, entropy etc., he has yet to find out what a carburetor is and is searching under his hood for the legendary caneater valve. Some time this summer, Dennis will join our surface fleet where he'll Surely brighten any wardroom. MICHAEL ROLF TOLLEFSON Hailing from Norfolk, Virginia. Mike gave up the lure of surfing at Virginia Beach to try his hand at Navy. When he isn't racing , Mike can usually be found enjoying his collection of good instrumental music. His significant contributions to the Brigade Activities Committee and to the Trident Society reflect his keen interest in working with people, a trait that will prove invaluable to him in the fleet. Michael is shooting for a pair of gold dolphins in a submarine career which looks very bright and promising. He will surely be a credit to the Submarine Service. 335 1 St CLASSMEN 336 2nd SET CDR: G.E. Stephenson; SUB-CDR: J.E. Hurston; C.P.O.: S.M. Ross. 3rd SET COR: M.L. Lagow;SUB-CDR: G.E.

Upon graduation Pete plans to follow his father as a career officer in the line. CARL THOMAS BERRY. JR. Carl came to Annapolis from Dalton, Georgia, with an excellent background in academics, athletics, and southern football. His belief in Bear Bryant. Bobby Dodd. etc. brought about many goodhearted arguments about ole Notre Dame and other northern imposters . C.T. compiled an excellent record and became known as 4.0 8erry .

RICHARD HOWARD BUZZELL Buzz, the oldest man in the Brigade, or the Dirty Old Man as he is known to most of his friends hails from the city of Arlington, Massachusetts. Buzz is a lover of all sports, and although he was not able to play for Navy except for one season of JV lacrosse; it would be hard to find a more avid fan. He spent 3 years in the Navy prior to entering USNA, and he has anxiously awaited graduation so that he can fly choppers and do his part in Vietnam. Buzz adopted the policy of working hard through the week, and as a reward playing equally hard during the weekend. This policy has managed to bring up his below par first year academics and leave him with a little of the highly coveted gravy. Buzz has a knack for organizing and arousing spirit, and most of all for making friends. I’m sure that when he reaches the fleet he will handle any position he is given with ease. JOHN PHILIP ESPOSITO Hailing from Connecticut. Jack entered the Naval Academy directly from Notre Dame High School in West Haven. The Little Wop often known as Espo67” has been very active at USNA in sailing as a skipper. To further his future Naval Career.

The Fitz delayed a year at Columbian Prep before entering the hollowed halls of USNA as a member of the class of '67. However, this was merely T.A.D., as he soon learned when he went O for 1 in Plebe Steam and suddenly found himself in 68. Since that time, the only serious threats to his existence were a minor skirmish with the Naval Science department and a major battle with the dreaded tse-tse fly. Mike has already shown that he is well suited for a Naval career by qualifying as OOD underway aboard the USS Columbus on his first-class cruise. His great sense of humor, perseverance and ability to get along with others ihould assure him of success in his future. CHARLES DOUGLAS FREELAND Doug came to the Academy from Romney, West Virginia. His athletic prowess and bubbling enthusiasm made him a natural spark plug for a number of intramural teams at the Academy. He was a constant scoring threat on the 8attalion football team, and was almost unbeatable in crosscountry. His keen enthusiasm and hustle was also a boost to track and fast-pitch softball teams. After a rough plebe year, a knack for organization and an undying determination enabled him to improve his academic marks each semester and make the Superintendent's List. Ambitiously, he chose Aero-Space Engineering as his field of endeavor, which led to an active interest in the AIAA. Regardless of his professional field of endeavor, his amiable personality and the many friends he has made will be invaluable assets throughout a rewarding naval career. THOMAS CARL HEILMANN Since his home is Roanoke. Virginia, it seems fitting that Tom also possesses high ideals and aims just as the many great men from Virginia have. After graduating from high school in 1963 Tom attended V.P.I. for a year before coming to the Naval Academy. Because of the year at V.P.I. Tom can honestly say he had a good plebe year since he actually had two of them. After these two years of being put to the test Tom started out his youngster year putting himself to the test in Aerospace Engineering, his chosen minor. Tom's academics plebe year faired somewhat less than outstanding, but he has since applied himself so well that he has made the Supt's list and several times only missed it by a small margin. Although he has had to work many long hours on his studies. Tom always seems to have enough time to help those in need, the plebes. Tom's main interest in Aeronautics is in research and development, a very unlimited field for a naval officer. I’m sure that no matter what Tom serves he will retain his ideals and aims, and above all prove to be an outstanding naval officer 339 JOHN HARTY. Ill The Naval Academy wasn't John's first exposure to college life. Hailing from Tupelo. Mississippi, he spent a year at Ole' Miss where he participated in the NROTC program. Like most of us, he found that plebe year was too taxing to allow him to excel in academics. However, his diligence and desire to improve soon put him in good standing in his Economics and Political Science minors. When John wasn't increasing his knowledge as the Company's foremost authority on the Kennedy family, he could be found reading a current news magazine or catching up on some sleep. He helped the First Battalion tennis team to the Brigade Championship third class year and was an outstanding contributor to the Company softball team all four years at the Academy. After having had the complete professional training treatment at the Academy and two summer cruises. John looks forward to becoming an officer in the world's finest Surface navy. His patience, easygoing manner, and intelligence will make him an excellent destroyer man. FOURTH BATTALION TWENTY-SECOND COMPANY ALFRED HENRY HIGGS. JR.

While at the Academy Jiggs found his calling in sailing and sailed in everything from skipjacks to yawls. Learning his sailing tactics from an old Jewish Philosopher. Jiggs became a winner in many of the regattas and earned a Varsity letter. On the academic side - well that's another matter between him and the board. Besides being an avid reader his pastimes include fishing, tennis, touch-football. golf. Whatever course he embarks on following graduation, it is certain that Jigg’s drive and determination will make him a topnotch ship-mate. DONAL MCILVAINE HILL Don came to the Academy from nearby Alexandria, Virginia where he was a Varsity quarterback for two years at Hammond High School. He continued his sports career here on the Battalion level, playing both rugby and football. A fierce competitor, many evenings found him in the pad resting up from a tough afternoon. Once he got accustomed to Navy academics. Don wore stars for several semesters and made the Superintendents list with ease. Always a careful clean living individual. Don visited very few restriction musters. His only Major encounter with the Executive department concerned the granting of overnight liberty to plebes after our loss to Army in 1964. He lost the argument unfortunately. One of the companies most popular and happy individuals. Don will always be remembered as someone who could be counted on to get the job done. Plagued by bad eyes, he might not make Pensacola as a pilot, however as an N.F.O. he will make some guy a great backseat driver. DAVID ALAN HODGSON Dave came to the land of pleasant living after a year at Kansas State U.. where he was undecided between a major in Psychology or in pool shooting. Being an Air Force brat K-state was only one of many stops - from Louisville, Kentucky to Rio dc Janicro. Brazil Hodge now calls Little River, Kansas home. He immediately fell in love with our way of life here — so much so that he decided to stay here an extra year, (although plebe math influenced his decision somewhat). Hodge has made tremendous strides since then, making the Supt's List several times. Many wonder how he is able to accomplish this, since he is well-known for his ability to hit the pad at all hours - when he isn't watching the tube. But Dave possesses a quick mind and an amazing way with words, which not only gets him those long weekends, but also brings him enjoyable feminine companionship. With his ability to work with others and his mature outlook Dave will prove to be a valuable addition to the Naval Service. ROBERT ALLEN HOLMES Emerging from the frosty regions of the Empire State and arriving at USNA, Bob immediately set himself goals in the realm of academics with the inevitable result of his name appearing on the Superintendent's and Dean's list. Not one to stifle his versatility, Bob's sports record includes seasons on the Company soccer, . basketball, football and softball teams, in addi- ] tion to the Battalion squash team. A few run-ins j with the Executive department over what time leave really expired has failed to dampen his inherently good sense of humor. He still can be counted on to find a little humor in almost any situation. His natural ability in Mathematics has led him to favor the Nuclear Power Program as his choice for a career. His warm personality and capacity for success will insure him a rapid rise up the ladder in the years to come. 340 JAMES EDWARD HURSTON Stretch came to Navy after two years at Columbus Junior College m his home town of Columbus, Georgia. Once settled at USNA, a combination of shortened eligibility and encouragement from seniors led to his playing for the Company team. During youngster year he discovered Rugby - his second love and as a second classman he found the Batt football team, and vice-versa. An avid sports fan, Jim will always be remembered for his impassioned wardroom defense of the American Football League. Academics didn't come easily to Stretch, but his total application in this area earned him some gravy by First Class year. The trials and tribulations that he suffered with his females are almost legendary. There were always too many or not enough, never just the right number. The patience that carried him through these difficult times coupled with his natural leadership abilities and his devotion to duty mark him as an outstanding officer prospect for the Fleet. JAMES DALE JONES The parents of James Dale Jones and one brother reside in Pontiac, Michigan. Wrestlingon the Plebe and Varsity teams during his first three years, he decided to participate in the less demanding Battalion intramural sports of football. lacrosse and fieldball when he received the striper position as 4th Battalion Commander.

Fortunately he became extremely adapt at hanging ten on the bell shaped curve and thanks to this fancy footwork he was never wiped out... in the classroom! Tom's only other major accomplishment was amassing 160 demerits second class year, all for sleeping through class. Certainly no small feat. Tom's easy going manner and ability to always come through when the chips were down makes him a valuable asset to anybody's team. Anyone would be proud to have Tom Palkie as a classmate, a shipmate or a friend. ALFRED ANTHONY PEASE Arlington, Virginia, Rome.

Mississippi came to the Naval Academy after one year in the Navy and a year at NAPS. Plebe year proved to be a rough one for Sam, as it did for all of us in the foamin' fourth. Youngster year brought new challenges such as academics. Sam managed to improve his QPR each year, just missing Supt's List several times. His upperclass years have also given him a chance to demonstrate his strong professional knowledge and experience, while indoctrinating the fourth class in the ways of the Navy. His activities at the Academy have included a valuable membership in the YP squadron, and standout performances in Company cross-country and Battalion squash. Sam will be best remembered for his independent spirit and his ever willingness to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Many a mid sought Sam's help in such academic fields as Navigation and Wires. Sam was also the man to see when faced with a lack of sounds or a defective stereo system. After graduation Sam would like to continue his education in the field of Oceanography. We know his career in the Navy will be a successful one. Sam . . . smooth sailing. 342 CHRISTIAN GERARD SLEBOS Chris hails from the Windy City of Chicago. Having arrived at the Academy with intermediate stops at Purdue, Great Lakes, and NAPS, Chris has continued his outstanding performance in whatever areas he has chosen to compete. Through prodigious effort and much midnight oil, Chris successfully kept the Academic Departments at bay. Athletically, he contributed to the making of three Brigade Championship teams As Class Treasurer, Chris has shown a readiness to assume major responsibilities and the ability to handle them well. Always ready with a kind word and a smile, he has made many lasting friendships. Chris's all out desire, perseverance, and cheerful attitude will make him an asset to any organization. GERALD EDWARO STEPHENSON Hailing from Blauvelt. N.Y., Gerry came to the Academy bringing with him his academic talent and unusual humor. He has kept many classmates smiling with his wit and usual assortment of jokes for every occasion. It is enough to say that Gerry, a frequent member of theSupt's and Dean's lists, had little trouble with academics and has Spent many of his free hours helping classmates. Gerry has always been one of the most popular guys among his classmates. A natural at most of the things he tries, Gerry has been an important member of Company sports. He has contributed to the cross country and football squads and most spectacularly at third base for the softball team. Certainly Gerry will be an enjoyable compan-ion to others as he continues to use his many talents in the service of his country. 343 1 St CLASSMEN 344 TWENTY-THIRD COMPANY ' ,JUcni axdomcam ’ 1st SET CDR: J.C.

Bob shifted to the ring and he boxed on both Battalion and Brigade levels. The other seasons sent Bob to the handball courts or softball diamonds and occasionally to the yawls in order to escape the rigors of Worden Field. Although frequently on the Supt's and Oean's Lists, Bob never let academics seriously hamper his other interests, mainly skin diving. French, cards and liberty. Bob's tolerant, affable, and conscientious attitude should make him outstanding in any future endeavor. JOHN CHAUNCEY ADAMSON Wayncsburg, Pennsylvania brought Jack to the Academy after a year with the class of '66 and a year at Waynesburg College. Known to his classmates as Hawk , he could always be counted on for many livid tales in the wee hours, for a constant stream of sarcasm and mirth flowed from his glib tongue. His mellow guitar and imitations of Bob Dylan always kept the company entertained when the snow became too deep to go to D. C. Jack always had an excuse for avoiding the books, and, consequently, was constantly at odds with the academic department. The Hawk hopes to find his nest in the cockpit of a Phantom II, but his enthusiasm and understanding will surely make him a success in any endeavor. TERRENCE GRANT ATKINS Ats came to Annapolis from Canby, Minnesota. After a grueling plebe year he soon became more worldly and even accumulated his first Class A - he wasn't as fast as the OOD. Ats became Rookie of the Year that year also. He was always ready for a good party and could be counted on for many laughs. As a Mechanical Engineering major, Terry has never been in any trouble with the academic departments. He has been a stalwart on the Batt track and cross country teams and is Company clown on the basketball team. His speed and endurance on the Batt teams has proved helpful. His quick wit and likeable personality are sure to make Ats a success in any endeavor. 346 JON CLARK BERGNER A treasure chest of knowledge. Babbling Bergs came to Navy straight from the wrestling mats of Granby. Jon's far reaching knowledge of Trivia was excelled only by his academic excellence, and many considered our Mr. Knowledge to be a walking encyclopedia Britannica. Brit often traveled in-cognito as Dr. Child's assistant had a pill for every occasion and a gargle to match. We all know of Jon's determination on the gridiron, but only the best of his friends knew that his real objective at Navy was to mold that wardroom chair to his torso. PAUL RICHARD DUKES. JR. Rick came to us from Toledo, Ohio on the banks of Maumel R. after spending two rO' stricted years at Ohio University. Rick was active in Plebe and Varsity Wrestling but an old injury sidelined him before he could get his N star. Academically. Rick was a great believer in files and you would probably find a math test from 1908 m there somewhere. Not unknown to the Executive dept., Rick almost made Captain of the restriction squad sophomore and junior years. Many a time Rick and his “Black Cat could be seen in the metropolitan D. C. area. The plans for the future are foggy. ROBERT RUSSELL ELLIOTT Railroad Bob, the Missouri man with a charm women could always resist, arrived at USNA with a battery of sports knowledge that amazed one and all. This knowledge, plus the 'excused squad' certainly aided Bob plebe year. Bob had a sporadic career with the 150's brilliant when in playing condition, but too often nonexistent as various injuries, plus a little too much weight, kept him out of action. During the spring he was indeed the mainstay of Company softball teams. As our four years together come to a close we must count Bob as a fine contribution to the fleet. STEVEN MERRITT FOX Little Stevie Fox , a small skinny rich kid from Monticello. Illinois, came to USNA with stars in his eyes and straw in his toes. Along with his monthly insult. Steve received a Subsidy from home in order that he could continue to live in the luxury he was accustomed to. Little Stevie tried six different sports in search of his letter and settled on 150 football, but a few ticks of the clock robbed him of his N . On summer cruise in Viet Nam , Steve picked up some of the customs, cultures and souvenirs of that wonderful area. Whatever Fox will do after graduation is anybody's guess. He is still looking for the service to which he can best adapt his talents. Good luck to The Fox . BARRY REID GRIMM Barry Reid Grimm came to Annapolis from the gridiron of Hopwood. Pa., but at 165 lbs. he decided his chances were much better sailing He has since been the skipper of several Naval Academy Yawls Foghorn Lchom could always be heard at a few decibles higher than anyone else. 'Bar’s' flailing arms and splashing legs were the talk at many a swimming lesson. Although Bar made Supt's List several times his Aero Engineering curriculum didn't jibe with Prof. Pond's Spanish. His alleged photographic memory gave him much free time for other than studying and he tutored many a friend during exams. Bar's can't say no attitude and his jovial personality will make him a sure success. 347 A FOURTH BATTALION TWENTY-THIRD COMPANY RICHARD MARK KADLICK 'Kads' came to his state's capital and the Academy by way of Baltimore. Having graduated from the well known Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, Rick, after plebe year, found very little difficulty in remaining on both the Superintendent's and Dean's Lists. Nevertheless, he never let studying interfere with his favorite occupations-dragging on the weekends and searching for holes in his eyelids. ( Well, guys, you know how it is-youngster afternoon and . . . ) Rick was always active in intramurals, being a particular asset to the Batt lacrosse and company soccer teams. Rick's cheerfulness and sincerity will be invaluable assets to him as he assumes his place among his fellow officers. JOHN WESLEY HAMILTON Hams or Multon came to Annapolis straight from Leavenworth, Kansas. After an interesting plebe year. Hams began youngster year slowly, but soon became involved in the blue-baker affair . He has spent most of his afternoons participating in company sports. At a monstrous 140 lbs. he led the heavyweight football team at the quarterback slot, and was a leading hitter on the company baseball team. Not one to hit the books. Hams could be found in the Atkins Gym . He soon carved the distinction of being one of the company clowns. John's boundless energy and kind heart will send him far in any work he may choose. RAYMOND ARTHUR KELLETT, JR. A staunch New Englander. Ray came to the Naval Academy from Sanford, Maine after a year in the Naval Reserve. His scientific mind and probing intellect, coupled with his love for the submarine service, made nuclear power a natural choice as a field of academic concentration. Ray sailed every ocean sailing season on Freedom, including a trip to Bermuda in the Newport to Bermuda Race second class summer. His early years near the rocky coast of Maine were likely responsible for his being one of the saltiest of the Severn sailors. During the winter months he could be found on Farragut field bundled up in sweat gear, driving the company football team on to victory. Prior to Second Class year, Ray was always anxious to elaborate on his plan of eternal batchelorhood, driving a Corvette, with girls in every port. We wish him the very best of luck in the fleet and hope that no one is looking when he crashes the gate at Bainbridge. KARL OTTO KRUMBHOL2 Holtz, an Oregonian from Portland, was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy after attending Millard Preparatory school for a year. During his first year, Karl rowed plebe crew, came around and counted the days until no more plebcs . His youngster year, K. O. rowed JV and varsity crew. As a second classman K.O. played battalion handball and lacrosse. First class year Karl received a well deserved two stripes and a platoon. Among brassoing his sword, coaching the company volleyball team, working with the reception committee, and playing battalion handball. Karl still found plenty of time to rave about his summer cruise in Northern Europe. Karl is now looking forward to a career in Naval Aviation and graduate work in Management. 348 JAMES ARTHUR LOUTZENHISER Coasting on both the academic and the professional prowess of his roommates. Loutz made it through his first three years at Navy. A smalltown boy from Ohio, Jim always had a good word and a smile for everyone. He soon established himself as a day student commuting to and from the Brigade Library where he wore out 3 chairs, a table, unnumbered pencils, and logged in more working hours than anyone else except the librarian. Always with a comeback for any. thing said he was as much play as business. Jim showed a desire and drive in everything he did that couldn't be matched by anyone. Perfection wasn't good enough. Jim was a machine to those who didn't know him, but in the eyes of those who knew him, Jim will always stand tall as a fine person and friend. JOHN COLLIER PATTON Coming from Homer. La. Billy Joe brought with him a deep South accent and a smile that was destined to win the hearts of many a lass in the Annapolis area. Attending Bullis School prior to coming to the Academy. John came ready to meet every problem head on and to excel in everything he attempted. With his always pleasant. happy-go-lucky personality John became a friend to everyone as well as a fine leader. On graduation day John will be seen with bags in the back of his car headed for NAS Pensacola where he was to begin training for his first love Navy Air. Billy Joe's classmates will always remember the friendly guy from Homer and will look for the name of John C. Patton among the Navy's finest aviators. LAWRENCE CHARLES JOSEPH POH. JR. Larry, being an Army brat, has called many places home. Richmond, Virginia, where he was commander of the color company at Benedictine High School his senior year, currently claims him. Coming to USNA via the fleet and NAPS. Larry has always prided himself in being the toughest mutha in the valley . His spirit and dctcrmi-nation have always made him an asset to any of the intramural teams he has played on-his varsity career being cut short by a knee injury in Spring football practice his plebe year. Larry has fought a running battle with the academic department since his arrival but. after being detoured by Chemistry his first year, has managed to keep his head above water. A Navy-line man for a while, Larry seems to have been converted to Naval Aviation during second class summer. Whatever his ultimate choice, the fleet will have gained a fine officer. RICHARD REINHEIMER Beef came to the Academy from the hills of Pittsburgh as 230 lbs. of desire and ambition with blue and gold from head to toe. It was this attitude that carried him through his four years of devotion to the Academy and enabled him to survive through those many times when he had to make do on only 14 hours of sleep a day. Through the years here Beef's desire for Navy was only exceeded by his speed, which enabled him to voluntarily do extra running in order to perform his best on the running test each year. By the time first class year rolled around. Beef had worked himself down to a mere shadow of his former self, but his love for the Academy had not waivered (nor that for a certain young lady either). His thirst for knowledge drove him deeper into academic excellence in his R R courses in Luce Hall. As he goes on with his ambitions in Navy Air he may not be remembered particularly for being in the top 10% of the class, but most certainly as being in the top 1% as a person. 349 FOURTH BATTALION TWENTY-THIRD COMPANY STEPHEN HAMILTON RIES Coming from 9 Navy family Steve can claim many places in the United States as his home from the surf in California to the sailing waters of Rhode Island. Rccser came to the Academy after a year of unforgettable experiences at Bullis Prep and immediately began his drive for excellence in all areas. Steve's youngster year will always be a memorable one for it was then that he roomed with the Buddha IMidn C.M. Criss, USN. Ret) story teller extraordinaire - they were an amazing pair. With the advent of second class year Steve began plans for a 1967 Camaro; however all he had at the end of the year was a fiancee. As the years pass there is no doubt that the name of Stephen H. Ries will be among the outstanding graduates of the class of 1968. I DAVID RUDOLPH SAMUELSON Dave journeyed to the banks of the Severn from his home town of Reading, Kansas. Excellence in both Studies and intramurals was nothing altogether new to this easy-going Kansan. Indicative of his academic excellence is the fact that Sam was placed on both the Superintendent's List and the Dean's List plebe year and remained on both for his entire stay at the Academy. His clear understanding of the academic problems of his fellow midshipmen, and his sincere and unfailing willingness to devote his time to assist them, has endeared him to many. The Navy will indeed be fortunate to receive Sam into its select corps of officers. MILES MARVIN STALEY An Air Force brat. Miles last port of call before entering the Naval Academy was Annan-dale, Va. He was an outstanding wrestler in high school and brought his talents to Navy where he was a stalwart on the Plebe team. Youngster year found Miles with decreased enthusiasm and an increased waistline, so he hung it up and endeavored to make his mark in other areas. He became adept at the art of avoiding some of the more unpleasant aspects of academy life. His exploitation of such institutions as the Hop Committee and the Sailing Squadron earned him many good deals. Studies never gave Stales any problem so he always had time for other things. Since he was from the Washington area he was an active arranger and participant in many parties. When 5 June 1968 finds Miles in Navy blue, his intelligence, easy going nature, and common sense will surely spell success. REGINALD ALLEN THACKER Allen, as all the home folks call him, came to USNA from San Antonio. Texas. Youngster Cruise netted Al a reputation as a true lover of the sea because he was seldom seen anywhere but out on deck with his head hung over the rail. He became an active member of the D Q Key Club early plebe year when they discovered he had a rare gum disease. Though he claimed that he was always penniless, his lock box seldom closed on less that $100. Being from Texas, Al had a line longer than a football field. Though we may not long remember Al for his academic, athletic, and professional prowess, we will never forget the Texan with big ears and a big heart. 350 JOEL EDWARD TOBIASON Toby came to USNA from the beaches of sunny California with visions of playing football. When not restricting his weekends away. Joel preferred to be heard but never seen around the academy. While in doubt during several semesters, he continually pulled his grades out with finals, and frequented the Supt's List. Anxious, as usual, to leave the Halls of Bancroft behind, the future for Toby holds lots of hard work and jets at Pensacola. JOSEPH VERSCHUEREN Dirty Joe came to the Academy from Long Island, New York. Born with a lacrosse stick, Joe made the varsity his sophomore year but then missed lettering due to his love for the beaches at Ocean City. Joe earned the name Dirty Joe for his flashy stickwork at Sewanhaka High on Long Island. His out going personality and quick wit, probably made Joe the most well known person during his four years at the academy. Also known as Honk and The Beak , Joe’s reputation was helped by his Jimmy Durante characteristics. During Joe’s senior year he became active in B.A.C. and had his own show on W.R.N.V.He also ’started’, for the second year in a row, on the varsity lacrosse team. Joe’s participation in the pep rallies greatly added to the spirit of the entire brigade. Joe's ability to get along with others and his definite leadership potential will go a long way toward making Joe a success in everything he attempts. JAY LEE WRIGHT Coming from Kansas after a year of college and party life. Jay Lee Wright found a new kind Of environment in store for him on the banks of Severn River. With his perseverance and willingness to work hard, he adjusted quickly to the academy Lee excelled well in all phases of midshipmen life. Despite an injury in plebe football that put him in the hospital a good deal of time, he returned to the football field to star as one of our tough 1501b. linebackers for the next three seasons. Always coming out on top. Lee did battle with academics, just as he fought on the football field. Lee devoted a great amount of time to help his classmates during his four years at that academy. Everyone will agree that Lee was one of our assets in drawing up our class policy, as well as one of our finest midshipman stripers. Besides hard work, Lee believed in hard play. Rooter could usually be found at any good party making it just that much better. His good natured character and Sincerity makes him friends easily. In the future, all of us can look to see Lee’s name at the head of the list of excellence wherever he goes. 1 st CLASSMEN 352 VV ■ V ' FUN! 1st SET CDR: N. Valleau, SUB-CDR R.W. French; C.P.O. J.V.

Ill Al Chirp Burda came to the shores of the Severn from the banks of the Potomac, just a hop, skip, and a fast Saturday night drive away. Excelling in academics even as a plebe. he relished mastering the most difficult subjects the academy had to offer and carried at least a 3.0 average throughout his four years. Even more admirable was the fact that he was always willing to help other mids in their struggles to pass, often sacrificing hours of his own time to work for others. Far from being book-bound. Al was most active in company sports and other company functions. Those of us who got to know him will all profit by his true classmate spirit as well as being stimulated by his thought-provoking opinions. But Al's greatest talent and attribute was in being ready with good wit or advice when someone needed to listen and a concerned ear when someone wanted to talk. In four years, Al's service selection has bounced around quite a bit, but we're sure whatever service branch he decides on will receive a well-rounded and dedicated officer. JAMES KENNETH BRENGLE Jim joined the Brigade of Midshipmen after distinguishing himself academically at South Lyon High School in South Lyon, Michigan. For the Naval Academy it has been nothing but an outstanding match as Jim continued where he left off in high school being a consistent member of the Supt's List for his academic achievements. In the other vital areas of a midshipman's demanding routine Jim has risen far above the average being an Honor Committee Member for three years, a four year member and ultimately President of the Public Relations Club, and an outstanding Company athlete in basketball and softball. For Jim, however, the story hasn't quite been one of Apples, peaches, and pumpkin pie, as he has spent more than his share of week-ends helping the OOW protect the hall by maintaining a constant vigilance in his room. A fan of MSU Football, the motown sound, and the ride of the Mercury Cougar, Jim is best known for his heroics in the Natatorium making that oft-used cliche', the life you save may be your own , a shocking reality. Navy air wins again as Jim has decided to join the wearers of the wings. WILLIAM AARON DAVIS, JR. Little Lord Fauntleroy was introduced to Academy life with his squad leader's command, Davis, You're an idiot. Come around to infinity. Since then, infinity has been coming around to him in the form of Championship rugby teams, Photo club, French club, and a Cherry N Award , second class year. Despite an impressive collection of letters of academic warning. Bill maintained a 4.0 average in his major, French. He spent long hours giving math E. I. to needy classmates, often at the expense of his own grades. More than once Bill entered finals as a potential civilian and came out unscathed, all the while declaring. I wouldn't turn back to morning meal. Still uncertain about the course of his career. Bill has decided that it shall be with the destroyer Navy. RICHARD WAYNE FRENCH Bear came to Crabtown from Santa Ana, California. Academically he's been able to keep his head well above water although he can still remember when he did his first, last and only Modern Physics problem on his own! In the realm of sports and extra curricular activities. Rick has more than excelled. A member of two Brigade Champion Batt football teams and the Regimental Champs in fieldball, he has also distinguished himself as a member of the Public Relations Club, the Photo Club, a LUCKY BAG Editor, Big Brother; of America, and the sailing team. Rick’s only stumbling block was with the PT department and his first class mile run. With all of this, Rick is probably best known for his ability to procure various articles for classmates in need. All you need to do is tell him what you want and give him an hour and it's in your room-up to and including that statue out in front of Bancroft Halil With all that Rick has going for him, he is sure to be a successful career officer. 354 GEORGE HENRY GARDNER. Ill The son of a Naval Academy Grad, George came to Annapolis hoping to follow his father into Navy Air. But, alas, his eyes did not last through plcbc year. It looks like Navy Line and back to West Pac after graduation. While he was at the Academy, George spent most of his time either on the bay or away from the academy sailing Shields boats for the 8ig Blue Varsity. After Plcbc year he forgot where Worden Field was. Even with all the sailing good deals no one envied him on those November mornings as the blue suited sailor went out to face the angry bay. All of this brought George his N and election as team Captain. Even though Navy Line is mighty fine, the destroyer will never replace the sailboat in George's life. JAMES WILLIAM HARMON. JR. Jim came from the Windy City to USNA to become a legend in his own time. Plebc year was a year of conditioning and stringency for Jim; his weekends and leave were only half as wild as they were Youngster year. But Jim wasn't all that active he set a record one weekend for sleep. 47 out of 48 hours in the rack, and could frequently be found resting up from a rough day of classes. Jim never let academics disturb him. Many a semester he even studied, and found himself on the Supt’s List. However much we joke about Jim, we know that there is an air of seriousness within him and Jim's choice of Navy Line will prove him to be an asset to the Naval Service. THOMAS FRANCIS MARTIN Tom came straight from La Salle Academy, High School in New York City, accent and AWL . The transition from civilian life to that of a plebe was, as for many others, a hard one for him. Being extremely interested in sports Tom was usually found playing basketball in the fiddhousc, and won his N as a youngster. Serious minded, he rarely missed the midnight bull sessions and always had a worthy opinion to share with his classmates. A physics minor, he remembers well the one Nuclear Physics homework he was able to complete without outside help. Tom's biggest disappointment came when he was informed that there were no billets available for tug boats in New York Harbor. He will therefore probably settle for a ship of the line and prove to be a fine addition to the fleet. 355 DOUGLAS BRUCE LITTLE After one year at New Mexico Military Institute Ooug came to the Academy eager to contribute what he could. Not being a slash in academics he found it both necessary and en-joyable to excel in the field of extracurricular activities. His few spare hours between study and duties he could generally be found playing the drums in order to be in practice for the Drum and Bugle Corp or the NA-10 both of which he was a member. His most enjoyable and rewarding hours were spent with the Concert Band which he directed. Sunday mornings being no exception Doug continued his pursuit of music by being an outstanding member of the Chapel Choir. Professionally many Spring afternoons were spent riding out the waves on the Greyhounds of the Chesapeake. Doug is planning on entering Naval Aviation upon graduation, and looks forward anxiously to receiving his Navy wings. FOURTH BATTALION TWENTY-FOURTH COMPANY CLUB 24-' • JUST TOR j ruN WILLIAM HENRY MARTIN III Few midshipmen have compiled as admirable a record as Hank Martin. Many a company athletic team fared considerably better due to Hank’s participation. In addition to his fine athletic accomplishments. Hank also compiled an enviable academic record. Many a night he could be found busily hitting the books and preparing for his next exam. Hank, as were many others, was enrolled in the immediate B.S. program following graduation. Many fellows will remember his congenial and pleasant nature. Serving with Hank Martin will prove to be an enjoyable experience. He will prove to be a very competent officer. JOSEPH RUANE MCGUIRE, JR. Joe came to USNA from Albuquerque directly from high school armed with dedication and a big Irish smile. Joe. an Army junior, found Plebe year a breeze and quickly fell in line with Navy life. Youngster year Joe attended Airborne School and for a while it seemed like the Corps was his ambition, but he kept an open mind and examined all the possibilities. On the Supt's list regularly the first two years, Joe began to have a tough time with academics second-class year. Joe loved athletics and more often than not, he could be counted on in a clutch situation. He always had a pleasant greeting for everyone except thirty two members of the fourth estate while he was on the detail. Although undecided on his service selection, we arc all sure that whatever he decides his decision will be the best interest of the Naval Service. DONALD WALLACE PELTIER. II Don drifted into USNA from Kalomezoo, Michigan. He was quiet by nature and would have been content going through Plebe year unknown. Don devoted his free time, which ran from 0615 until 2400 every day. to the finer things of life. He still found time to actively participate in company sports and write poetry. Don has always been a surfer at heart and used this ability to ride the curve to academic success through four years at Navy. Don, a person who has always been devoted to the Navy will certainly find success in the outside world. ROBERT ELMER PETERSEN Pete became well known rather early in his shining career at USNA. Pete received two letters of commendation one for his debuta here at Navy, and the other for first class cruise. When it came to studies, you could always find him somewhere else. However, he was good at getting that all-important grade. Sometimes it’s rather difficult locating him. You could try the tube room, town, D. C.. or if you were lucky, bump into him around the halls There isn’t a nicer guy or a better friend than this guy though. He’d always come through for you in the pinch. 356 JAY MCCUNE POTTER Jay came to us fresh out of the hills of Wheeling, West Va. He was never quite sure whether or not he liked it at the Academy, for to him steam was meant to drive trains, not ships. But he stayed, though he had to fight the academic board more than once to accomplish the feat. To Jay, studies were like anything else that had to be done, so he always put the maximum effort into them. He put this same determination and sense of duty into playing Company soccer, making it a hazard for any opponent to try to score. Jay's natural knack for organization made him automatically the man to see when a job needed doing right. Jay plans to go Navy line and it'll be a fortunate ship that gets him for duty, whether as George or C. 0. MICHAEL DAVID PRINCE Mike came to the Academy from Shasta Junior College in his home of Redding. California. He quickly made himself a reputation as one of the outstanding men in his class and then proceeded to maintain this status throughout his four years at the Academy. First and foremost Mike was a leader-whether he was leading with his sword as Company Commander or with his greatly respected left fist as 155 lb 8rigade Boxing Champion. A great believer in Company spirit. Mike was often seen on the playing fields of various Company sports-much to the benefit of the Twenty-Fourth. Mike figures on going Navy air when he graduates, and being the kind of guy who goes after what he wants, he's sure to be up there one of these days When this day comes, the most fortunate pilot in the Navy will be the guy who has Mike Prince flying on his wing. ROBERT LAWRENCE PURDY Larry came to the Naval Academy upon graduating from Tulsa-Edison High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. While at Navy. Larry has continued to take an active part in extracurricular activities. His diversity of talent is indicated by the fact that he played Varsity 150 pound football for three years and was selected to the All-American team, and is a lead guitarist and vocalist for the “SPIFFYS”, the most popular song and dance band at the Academy. Despite all these accomplishments, Larry is probably best known to all of his classmates for his fond regard of Executive department opinions and policies, all of which have made him a regular member of the Naval Academy weekend warriors. All in all. Larry's victories over Navy have far surpassed his defeats; and his sharp wit and jovial nature will make him a great success in whatever endeavor he decides to pursue. JONATHAN HUMPHREY SAXMAN Jon came to the Naval Academy upon graduating from high school at The Northwest School of Agriculture, a small school located near his home, Georgetown, Minnesota. Plebe academics came relatively easy to him although he somehow managed to make the Dean's List without making the Supt's list the second semester of plebe year. Even after choosing a difficult major. Electrical Science, Jon has been a steady member of both lists ever since. Jon's favorite activities while at Navy included Batt rugby, boxing, the Public Relations Club, and the Scuba Club, in all of which he took an active part. Although he is still undecided whether he would like to choose Navy air or CEC as his service selection. I'm sure that he will provide the Navy wih a valuable asset throughout his career, however long or short. 357 FOURTH BATTALION TWENTY-FOURTH COMPANY CLUB 24 JO ST FOR • ' FUN! GORDON KENNETH SMITH Gordy came to Annapolis via Columbian Prep and Wilson High School in Easton, Penna. He made instant fame for his contagious laugh, which was capable of creating bedlam at any formation or lectures. Gordy was friendly and easy to get along with except when disturbed from his many hours of counting Z's . Never the less. Academics proved no problem. People often wondered where Smitty spent his weekends, but all have come to the conclusion that it must have been in a gym since it always took him half the next week to recuperate. Being best known for his strong stomach and his love for boats. Gordy will undoubtedly make a fine navy line officer. We all wish Smitty the best in return for what he h3s given us during his years at USNA. WARREN THEODORE SPAETH A native Jerseyite. Warren hails from the small town of Runnemede, in the southern end of the Garden State. He has always enjoyed the challenge of pursuing a very active life, thus in his days before the academy, he pursued his challenge in the form of athletics and a good academic record. When it came to making a choice of colleges and careers. Navy was. therefore. a natural selection. At Navy in the fall and spring of his 4 years, the Chief could be seen chugging away catching flys. the baseball kind, on the Varsity diamond at Lawrence Field. On the academic field, he was lucky enough to win a few times. Supt's List and also lose a few times, swimming. Physics, etc. Warren also found time enough to broadcast at WRNV. His hobbies could also be classified as well-rounded, collecting the sounds, making like a weatherman, and girlwatching.

Upon graduation, he wants to go Navy Air and eventually to post graduate school for business. Aside from hitting the books often, and thinking he failed every test at Navy, he always found time for a few extracurricular activities. On any weekend he usually spent his time either girl watching or looking for Bulah in the Rotunda. Always eager for a little excitement, he proved that anybody can have fun at Navy with a little effort. Away football games always held something new for him, but he left a lasting impression at all the Navy-Pitt gomes. FREDERICK THOMAS WARBURTON, JR. As did most of his classmates Fred Warburton entered the Naval Academy with an optimistic and cheery attitude. His fine performance and excellent example provided an inspiration for all classes.

As with many of us, the Academic depart, took its toll, but Tom found his salvation in the E.H. G. dept. He culminated his stay at Navy with the honor of the Supt's List his first class year. In sports Tom lettered Youngster year in sailing and was later elected Varsity Sailing Captain in his final year. During the winter sets Tom was always a ready stalwart of the Company heavyweight football team in intramural sports. Tom's burning ambition for the sea was well exploited in two East Coast cruises Youngster and First Class year. Tom's leadership qualifications were well exemplified all during his stay at the Academy, especially during first class year as a Platoon Commander. With his enthusiasm, deep sense of responsibility. and devotion to duty, Tom will be an asset to any wardroom in the Fleet. GILBERT JEROME BRICKLER, JR- After graduating from Pulaski High School in Milwaukee. Gil went to New Mexico Military Institute for a year before coming to Navy. Always having a great interest in all sports, he came on to become an outstanding 150 pound football player which was quite an accomplishment considering that he is often referred to as Fat Man . Gil can be found in the center of any good time or behind the largest pile of food when 150‘s are out of season. He somehow finds time to get good grades although it seems that if he's not asleep he's watching TV. You could say Navy just won't be the same without him. Gils outgoing personality has made his friendship something that we will always treasure. Surely he will be a great success in whatever field he chooses to pursue. WILLIAM CRAIG DOW as the reveille bell rings at 0615 Bill is seen to veritably spring into action. Sills spartan training seems to have relaxed some since moving to 4-1-he often receives phone calls about the rowdy football Captain holding hands with a certain girl out in town or even wearing boots instead of regulational shoes Bill is a hard working guy that really gets the most out of life. Off the football field Bill is really one of the most congenial Mids around and he'd go out of his way to help a buddy. Bill's all-around character only has one dent that of academics. He really tries, as he does in everything, but his social and athletic pressures seem to be taking up most of his time. This man is destined to become tops in navy air. All the luck in the world to Bill, from all the 25th Company. GARY EDWARD FRANCIS Gary found the Naval Academy an abrupt change from quiet Denville. New Jersey, but quickly began taking the rigorous routine in stride. As the academic year replaced plcbe summer, Gary became the classmate to see with any question from Algebra to Chemistry, with the one exception of plebe Bull . A stalwart on the Company soccer and lightweight football teams, Gary could always be counted on to take charge. First class year found Gary developing that classical firstic posture as part of the ward room club from Monday thru Friday, but always on liberty on those long weekends. Gary will have new interests following graduation. not least among them will be the beginning of his career in the Silent Service. Although noi i always silent as a middie, Gary is assured o success in his future career. 364 EVERETT BLAIR GASTON Bo can neither be looked over nor overlooked He came to the Academy via Bullis Prep, and for the first day of plebe summer he has supplied all who knew him with many unforgettable memories; among them his portrayal of the good fairy for the Christmas party plebe year, his being case as Frankenstein in the Musical Club show, his famous Gaston sound off , . . . Trained killer and woman thriller, sir . We all will remember the disappearing chow packages from home. No matter what the weather Bo could usually be found after class in the gym bouncing a basketball and looking for a game. He was either in the library or hard at work in his room every class night preparing the next day's assignments, plugging away at the books in order to leave his mark on Navy 80 has his sights set on Navy Air, but no matter what branch of the Navy he enters he is certain to be well remembered. GEORGE KENTON HARRIS G. K. Possoom Harris, a by product of Berryville. Arkansas, came to Navy a veteran quarterback but soon turned his talents to gymnastics. He was No. 1 till he tried a triple flip double wazoo dismount and left an arm hanging from the rings. His buddies will always remember the Hairy 8lack Olds with a toothless grin at the wheel; or his famous handshake act at the party after the Pitt, game Youngster year. George had a sound system that nobody could match; tones ranged from Chopin to Skeeter Davis. Two of his fa orites were Ernest Tubb and Lefty Frizzle. But there is more to being a midshipman than parties and stereos; academic achievement is the mam goal at Annapolis, and G. K. was the only man in his class who could cram for a Thermo test during a two minute Dodge commercial. When not bent over the books working toward his Aeroengmeering minor, George could invariably be found sleeping in his famous pajamas. A three year varsity gymnast, Possoom could always be counted upon to stick it out for Navy blue and gold. He'll be a credit to whatever branch of the Navy he chooses. THOMAS WILLIAM HEARN We received Tom straight from the Indian Country of K. C. Tom's sense of humor and quick wit gained many a friend soon after his arrival. Unfortunately missing much of plebe summer due to a sudden case of illness. Tom was able to regain his health and become one of the leading members of the Sunday afternoon tough-football team and other Company sports. His undying spirit was also turned to the company social endeavors and Tom soon came to be known as the Great Organizer. Tom plans to turn his attention to Naval Aviation upon graduation. Affectionately known as The Conqueror many broken hearts will be left in Maryland, but Pensacola will be gaining a new stand in for Paul Newman. Tom has strived to help create the good times while at the academy, and we all can look forward to seeing him with the Jets in Pensacola, successfully leading them to a new high. THOMAS CHRISTOPHER HOUGHTON Tom. a Navy junior, came to USNA well oriented in the Navy way of life. His background of World travel and excellent schools plus a small amount of intelligence allowed him to dowell in his academic endeavors. He temporarily set aside his usual pleasant good naturedness after classes to become a vicious and fearsome member of the Company soccer and football teams in the fall and winter. He spent his spring afternoons giving his all for Navy's Varsity lacrosse team. Tom was too much of a go getter to allow sports and studies to take up all of his time. He directed the French club as its President during his first class year, the result of a still questionable election, and had his name listed as an Editor in that famous academy publication, the TRIDENT. Among all of these activities he managed to reserve a little time for such non Navy activities as girls; or trips to his former hometown, Washington, or, during his last year, an occasional stop at the wardroom to stare at the tube. We wish him well for his future. 365 I FIFTH BATTALION TWENTY-FIFTH COMPANY JOHN EDWARD KANE John hails from Philadelphia where he first acquired an idea as to what midshipmen were like by attending the Army-Navy game. Thus he decided to come to Navy, which was lucky for us. Most of John's time at Navy however has been spent over in MacDonough Hall in the pool. As a plebe John broke many swimming records and gained enough carry-on to take him well into third class year. He has continued to excel at Navy in swimming and this year Captains' a fine Navy team which expects to defeat Army. Between athletics, partying and the girls, John still finds time to study and maintain a good average. Due to his fine attitude and dedication we are sore John will do well in whatever field he chooses. JAMES CHRISTIAN KIFFER Jim. hailing from Long Island, came straight from high school to take his place in the Brigade. The Hun spent many hard hours on the track, setting records and taking his teams through four victorious seasons at Navy. He soon became known as Captain of the Track team and Admiral of the women. Kiff spent his spare time with the infamous green machine and assorted roadmaps of the local country. His great spirit and friendliness added a big spark to the Famous 25th . Jim will take to the air after graduation, flying Phantoms from Pensacola. Always one of the Jets , he is bound to be our answer to the Red Baron. The future will find Kiff coming through as a natural leader of men. JOHN THOMAS LANNING John T. Lanning or Walrus as he was affectionately called by the gang, is sure to lead the good life . Ever faithful to his love - good food. John could be seen in Mother B only in the messhall. A fine company athlete from plebe year on, John's easygoing determination, coupled with his competitive spirit, makes him a man to count on. A veritable wizard in the field of sports knowledge, it is a rare plebe indeed who could stump the Walrus. John has always done his best, either at ficldball or sawing logs. He will be, we are sure, a credit to any profession he seeks. DAVID MICHAEL LONGEWAY David M. Longeway, who attended USNA on the 5 year plan, is one of the few who are lucky enough to have his childhood sweetheart turn into a prospective bride. This Navy junior, who wants to be a cowboy when he grows up is one of the finest intramural lacrosse players in the brigade and an overall fine athlete. From his days in St. Mary's High, right here in Old Crabtown to the present you'll see Dave working hard. But all work and no play has not been Dave's motto by any means! He still finds time to sleep 16 hours a day and read the sports page 3 times. Academics proved to be no problem, for David could master any problem with which he was confronted. Determination such as his could only be rewarded with a bright and promising future. 366 KENT VAN LEWIS MacNEILL Kent was born in Boston, Mass., but the call of the wild lured him to Coronado, California at a tender age. He immediately fell in with the in crowd and graduated from Coronado High School as summa cum hippie . He was originally headed for Brown University, when his plane was forced down in Annapolis. He decided Navy was a nice place to live, but not to visit so he stuck around. Everyone who has met him is glad he did. At Navy. Kent, one of the biggest supporters of company sports, has helped our soccer teams every year and the value of his bulk will not be forgotten on the tough football fields. He studies hard, and was always richly rewarded. One of the original Jets , he has led the company to a great first set as Company Commander. Unfortunately for the rest of the Navy, Kent's love is down under the big blue sea We wish him success and that one of these days when he comes up for air it will be our fortune to serve with him again. RICHARD JOHN MARIEN Rick is one who is small of stature and tall in character. Hailing from Buffalo. New York. Rick came to Navy directly from high school. Color Rick that Gungy Marine Green for that has been his main objective even before leaving high school. Throughout his four years at Navy. Rick has put his whole heart into everything from Company soccer to wardroom T.V. watching. Count on Rick to be where the big parties and small girls are. It'll probably take a few years in Nam before anything else even starts to impress this great Mid and his Corps. The Marine Corps will find in Rick the kind of leader she has been accustomed to, that of a hard and fair supervisor. JOHN FRAZIER MONROE John came to the Academy from a small town on the eastern shore of Maryland, where he compiled outstanding academic and athletic records. His calling was in the area of Foreign Affairs, here he excelled. John's hard work and perseverance in the academic field, was equally exemplified in every thing he attempted, whether it was in the academic, athletic, or professional area. John was always ready and willing to help a friend, no matter what sacrifice he was required to make. There are few individuals m this world that one can truly call friend , if someone wins the friendship of John, he has a friend for all times. John has always had a deep sense of responsibility and could be counted on to lend a helping hand when the need arose. With his keen business sense and financial wizardy. it seems quite inappropriate that John didn't attend Harvard's Fletcher School of Business, but instead of seeing John behind a desk on Wall Street, we will most likely see him behind the windscreen of a Navy aircraft. WILLIAM CHARLES NIERMAN Trudging back from the library at midnight, back bent under a pile of texts, notebooks, slide rule, charts, graphs, and God knows what else. Bill presented an inspiring sight to those first class majoring in TV 1. It was always his contention that those hours spent slaving in the mysterious Chemistry labs under the watchful eyes of the magicians of Sampson was more worthwhile than daylight sleeping time, to which everyone nodded either assent or asleep. Bill had other interests, however. One arrived promptly each week from California in the form of an epistle whose length would put St. Paul to shame. Bill also enjoyed company sports; he coached the famous blue trampoline volleyball team and played fieldball and softball. You need not ask where Bill is from, like most Californians unfortunate enough to be living outside God's country at the moment, comments about the Maryland climate and home are pretty regular. Although his career is uncertain. Bill will never haze trouble succeeding. I 367 FIFTH BATTALION TWENTY-FIFTH COMPANY THOMAS CHRISTOPHER RULAND Kit hails from Houston, Texas which is easy enough to tell just by looking at his size. He spent his first two years in the 7th Co. where he was known as a quiet and shy person.

WAYNE GREGORY NONOSHITA Nono, as we knew him, came to us from Torrance with an enthusiasm for athletics, girls, and that good California sun. A football and swimming standout at George Washington High School in Los Angeles. Wayne found his speed and agility perfectly suited for a starting role with Navy's Mighty Mites”, the one hundred fifty pound football team. A sharp ear for music and even sharper eye for the girls made Nono a leader in the weekend social whirl, providing a pleasant diversion from the weekday rigors of keeping up on Aerospace Engineering, his academic major. An affinity for the sunny West Coast has kept Nono abreast of the latest trends and happenings, and his zest for life assures him of continued popularity leadership wherever the coming years may take him. The last of the great kamikazes. Nono is headed for a career in Naval Aviation. MICHAEL ANTHONY SANTORO Mike hails from the midwestern City of Indianapolis. Indiana. Although he had no trouble with the professional training, Mike has had a running battle with the academic departments. He has always come through when the chips are down, and has voiced his goal as being the top man in the bottom quarter of his class. Mike's willingness to help out has made him the man to go to for a favor and his love of sports makes him a rough opponent on the athletic field. Mike's first class cruise convinced him that the swinging life of an airdale is the only way to go so he will be Pensacola bound after graduation. He will make a welcome addition to the fleet. WILLIAM NATHAN SCOTT. JR. Scotty came direct to the Academy after graduating from high school in Bellevue. Washington. Having lived his entire life in Washington, and a Westerner at heart, he became not only an enthusiastic supporter of Navy athletics, but on the side managed to put in a few hardy cheers for his hometown Washington Huskies. On the athletic field Scotty confined his activities to company sports. Bill was on the front line which led the 7th Company soccer team to its Regimental Championship in '65. He also sparked the 7th and 25th Company ficldball teams to their few meager victories throughout his four year stint. Scotty will always be remembered for his inherent ability to be the first to hit the ground whatever the game. In his academic endeavors which. Sill was not deficient, although he continually tried to convince everyone he was. His high grades seem to contest this opinion. The boys of the 25th will always look back with a smile at that guy who finally came to his own at USNA. 368 NORMAN ROBERT TAYLOR Half of the 25th Company Bobsy Twins. Rob has a ready smile and a goodnatured cot for everyone he meets. A native Californian, he has never had any trouble getting along with people. When he gets them laughing they haven't got a chance.

Toby's graceful style in the pool could put Esther Williams to shame. Ounng study hour. Dave divided his time evenly between writing letters, studying, watching T.V., helping some plcbe out or filling out contest application forms. However, without his consistent know how. his roommate, the Company Commander, would never have survived the ordeals of a new Company Officer and 1 c year under the new system. After graduation with a minor in Management, Toby plans to journey to Pensacola for flight Training, with his eyes on eventually flying A-7’s in Vietnam. Hanks winning personality and sharp wit, coupled with his desire for a naval career, will certainly go far in making him an excellent officer. IVAN LEROY WILLIAMS Ivan, the Terrible Williams, was noted, like so many Naval heroes for a famous line he used in a strategic situation. Ivan's big phrase v as, pass the chow . It seemed he made up all year for the lean days he experienced while playing defensive tackle for the 150 lb. football team. He combined his stumpy brawn with a sharp wit to be quite a character. Not academically superior but still receiving good grades he has found time to read stacks of epic tomes and to spend much time with either a barbell or a sandwich in his hand. 369 370 2nd SET CDR: W.C.

He seems destined for service as a Navy pilot. 376 CURTISS WILLIAM SCHANTZ, JR. The Old Man was well familiar with the Navy before over entering the Academy. A Navy junior hailing from Pa., he has been as far west as the 50th State and even spent an interium in the Yard. Taking the extended route to get in. Curt was a member of the University of Maryland for a little better than a year, but came over to our side via NAPS. Holding down right defensive end third and second class years, he became ineligible as a firsty. due to his stint at Maryland, but continued his athletic endeavor as a football coach and lacrosse player. Within the Company, Chico (a name acquired at NAPS) has been a guiding influence upon us all.

WILLIAM WAGNER SCHERKENBACH Schcrk hails from either Ladysmith, Wisconsin. or Ironwood. Michigan, not even his parents know for sure. Graduating president of his class (22), Scherk has never let studies interfere with the important things in life. But in his busy schedule he always finds time to lend a helping hand to anyone. The Glee Club. Catholic Choir, Sailing Squadron, and skiing keeps him pretty well occupied, when he is not working out on the Company gymnastics team (Champion on the blue trampoline). He also found time to star in the Masqueraders production of Hamlet. Despite all of his assets. Scherk, planning a career in the Supply Corps, will make a fine officer and leader of men. With his personality and level-headedness, he will go far. 9 • SCOTT ALLEN WOODS Farb hails from everywhere USA but lives in Arizona. If you ever need a friend look no further cause you'll find no better anywhere. He's always ready to give a helping hand or sincere advice. What he lacks in bulk he makes up in stamina.

There are not doubts as to his stars in 30 years - just the number. 377 JAMES HENRY WEBB, JR. Spike , an Air Force 8rat, has lived just about everywhere, but claims Andrews AFB as his present home. He became a Theta Chi at USC. but it only took a year for Mother B to claim his talents. An all-around athlete, he specialized in boxing and always made it to the finals in the Brigade Boxing competition. In his spare time Jim always managed to give a few haircuts, and this resulted in little sleep on Friday nights. Friday night liberty soon broke up his business, however, as he found more time to drag his pretty fiance. Perhaps his most valuable talents, though, were his desire and determination. These factors were always evident in his actions, and qualified him as a four striper. There is no doubt in Jim's mind as to his choice of service. A grunt from way back, he was always recruiting for the Corps. Those who knew Jim will testify that hi$ sincerity and selfless dedication will take him to the top. . . or farther. 1 St CLASSMEN 378 2nd SET CDR: H.J. McGreevy; SUB-CDR: S.C. Swain; C.P.O.: L J.

He was able to make the change from civilian to the military life much easier than many of his classmates, as he passed Plcbe year with hardly a struggle. Having a strong interest in athletics, he participated in Plebe football. Plebe wrestling and then later tried Varsity wrestling. It was from his wrestling experience that his classmates affectionately pinned the nickname Neck on him. One would not consider him an outstanding student, yet he always managed to pass every course with a C or better. His biggest test every year came in swimming, however, after extra practice this was also completed successfully. He spent most of his free time in the handball courts and was known to take an occasional nap in his beloved rack. Rich maintained a sharp military manner throughout his four years, but was still able to add a little humor on occasion. His high ideals, personal dedication, and remarkable leadership ability should make him a definite asset to the naval service of his country. GEORGE ROBERT BIEGER George, or better known to his classmates as Bieg's . came to the Academy directly out of high school in Allentown, Pa.

He has participated in such things as rugby. NAFAC Catholic Choir, and Brigade Hop Committee. Chip possesses one trait which is rather unique. In addition to being one of the few middies in Naval Academy history to brush his teeth in just about every spot in the yard, he is known to be able to sleep anywhere and in anything, as is shown by the fact that he has slept in everything from white works to sweat gear and on everything from volleyballs to lock boxes Although Chip has the distinction of being one of the smaller members of the brigade, his beaming smile and warm personality should enable him to slide easily into his chosen field, which is the NFO program. JOHN JACOB CATANIA John, or to most of us Cats , hails from. America's Dairyland, Wisconsin. Coming to the Academy with his Buddy Rich and Gene Kruppa albums.

ROBERT 8ENELL DANBERG Bergie” came to Severn's shores from Omaha. Nebraska. From the first we recognized his keen sense of humor. As a plebe he pulled the funniest stunt in our class history on an upperclass and hi$ fame was firmly established. Many were the days that the sweet sounds of Country and Western music filled his rooms. Academics were no problem for Bob and he spent much of his ample spare time engaged in athletics. Bob grew to know every detail of the weight room. Although we kidded Bob a lot. few of us were willing to put his four years of Brigade Boxing experience to the test in the ring. Besides his skill in the Bull department. Bob aptly demonstrated his affinity for debate. He was also very interested in the Officer's Christian Union. 8ob's cheerful smile and good sense of fair play gained much respect from all of us. Rare indeed was the day that he did not show us the utmost in manners or decorum. With his spirit and integrity the Navy will be receiving a fine officer and gentleman dedicated to the service of his country. RICHARD DOWNEY EVERT Dick came to USNA from Woodson High in Fairfax. Va.

During the summer he loved to travel and visited Brazil. Europe, Hawaii, and Canada during his stay at the Academy. On holidays his home in Virginia could generally be found parked with mids all enjoying a bit of the home life. Dick plans to make Navy Air a career and his easy going ways should make him well-liked in any squadron in the fleet. 381 JAMES DENNIS DEIMLER A graduate of Hershey High. Jim spent a year at Hershey Junior College before transferring to USNA. Jim found Navy academics to be well within the range of his capabilities. Even with 'chem' overloads. Active in intramurals, he usually proved to be a welcome asset to his teams. A dislike for walking even brought about a hitch or two with the sailing squadron. Jim's extracurricular activities sometimes included a few afternoons a week at the Norman Scott Natato-rium. whenever the necessity arose. Jim often brought some classmates along on his visits to 'Chocalate Town', where no expense was spared in showing one around the hot spots of the seemingly quiet town. Jim looks to the NFO program with the phrase P 3's all the way even if there aren't any stewardesses in the crew. Whatever his undertaking he's sure to rate a 4.0. FIFTH BATTALION TWENTY-SEVENTH COMPANY GARY MAXWELL GRANT Gary slid into the Academy from the large metropolis of Caledonia. N.Y. His seemingly never ending enthusiasm earned him a high level of scholastic achievement. Gary managed to stay in the top of his class, while completing his major in the feared Weapons Department. Top Shelf would have to be the accurate description for Gary's selection in wine, woman, and song. He was a member of four years standing of the Glee Club and Chapel Choir, and greatly enjoyed the singing as well as the Glee Club trips to Ft. Lauderdale and the Mid West. Being well rounded and not losing his high school athletic talents, Gary's spirit and ability on and off the field led the Company to two Brigade Championships. The added responsibilities of first class year, which required much of his personal attention, have forced Gary to spend much of his time outside the Academy gates.

He sailed, ran Battalion cross-country, played handball and rowed crew. His organizational abilities led him to managerial and coaching positions on the cross-country team. George had an infectious sort of optimism that could convince you that everything was all right regardless of how lousy the situation really was. His stick-to-it-iveness and boundless energy should serve him well in the future. 382 THOMAS NELSON INGLIS, III Tom. or more commonly Magiela. was discovered in the wilds of Phoenix, Arizona.

Finally Tom possessed a singular trait that was admired by all. he never lost his temper once in his four years at the Academy. Here it must be noted that Tom brushed aside all praise of his attributes by maintaining that he only tried to emulate his idol,Sandy Koufax. Clearly he will be the Academy's loss and Navy Air's gain. JOHN FREDERICK KENT John came to Navy from Falls Church, Va. He immediately commenced his wrestling career which was to eventually carry him to the ranks of All-American by his second class year. John took full advantage of free Navy travel to go to Europe during his second class summer and the Orient during first class summer. His travels provided the company with many good tales.

Crew as a plebe where he succeeded in winning his varsity letter as a youngster. His 6'3 frame and his craving for food forced him to spend many hours sweating out the weigh-ins. Finally he made the drastic change and proved himself again as a heavyweight where he helped row the JV's to a National Championship. Mike plans on trying out his flying abilities with Naval Aviation where his ready smile and willingness to help will make him a welcome addition to any squadron.

In the meantime Barnaby kept his grades at a respectable level, and enlivened his life by dragging some of the most exotic and beautiful girls seen in the Yard. Never idle, he spent his spare time auditing various French and history courses, augmented by sojourns in Europe, to satiate his desire for knowledge of his double minors in those subjects. Never ordinary, Barnaby will undoubtedly make a name for himself in the Navy and the world. STEPHEN GRAY PERINE Emerging amicably from the heart of the Texas desert, and after a years unabashed fraternity life as a Sigma Chi at U.T., Steve early demonstrated the dexterity to adapt to the more sober surroundings of the Academy. With the aura of the fraternity in his manner, he was a center of Company social life. Hidden deep inside, however, is the soul of a hippie and artist (the secret is out). He read at the formidable rate of a novel a week, and wrote sporadically. These surprisingly intellectual enterprises earned him the nickname Zen , and demonstrate great ambivalence. Never neglecting his studies- though his classmates cannot quite recall ever seeing him working Steve was a Supt's list regular, attain-ing stars when he so deigned to open course books. As a Poli Sci major and European Voyager on leave, he will find a brilliant future in the International Naval Affairs picture.

All who know him know he will be one of the best. WILLIAM EDWARD STEVENS Bill came to us from Everett, Massachusetts. He immediately started playing a game of chicken with the academic department to see who could last the longest. Actually it was their fault for not giving credit for building model airplanes. Bill could often be found on the Severn River where he pursued his pastime of being a crew coxswain. Plebe year he managed to drive his boat to an I.R.A. Freshman Championship. Bill had two strong points - his command of the English language and his terrific swimming ability. Both areas of talent improved even more with Navy's help. Bill's future with the Navy looks bright.

His outstanding wrestling ability carried him to an undefeated season on the plebe team, and laid a sound basis for his future social endeavors His ready wit and jovial attitude, combined with his searching open-mindedness account for his great popularity, while his strong character and sense of honor commanded tremendous respect. Chuck's fine academic success can be attributed to his adherence to the theory of rest and relaxation, while his social prominence is founded on bestiality and animalism. At any rate, in instances of decision and demand. Chuck can be counted on to pull it out in the end. As I'm sure he, himself would look at it, the civilians lost an extremely competent and motivated man. FREDERICK BARNHART BAYER. Ill Many men gain distinction after they leave the academy, some are quite distinctive while at the academy. Rick gained distinction academically by being one of the very few to remain on academic probation continuously from start to very near the finish.

R08ERT ARBUTHNET OEHOLL Being one incapable of making friends with the authorities, both academic and executive. Bob's four years at the Academy were an uphill battle all the way. Possessing the mind of a near Einstein and the athletic ability of aStauback. it would seem that OeHoll would have had a relatively easy time of it. However, added to this list of superlatives, unfortunately, is also the spirit, impulsiveness, and impatience of a hungry mountain lion. While sampling nearly all the varsity sports possible. Robert could never really find himself a home in one. Academically. Bob finally found his groove in Aeronautical Engineering during the last two years. With his mind made up. and still proving both the profs and the textbooks wrong. Hole had no trouble making the Dean's List. We'll always remember Bob. both for his easygoing, always friendly demeanor, and for his apricism which enlivened any Naval oriented discussion. Robert should make a welcome addition to any wardroom. 391 FIFTH BATTALION TWENTY-EIGHTH COMPANY PETER BARRY DIEFENOORF Pete entered the Naval Academy shortly after graduation from Asheville School in North Carolina where he excelled academically, athletically and socially.

Pete spent most of plebe year running the firsties across the hall, and the Sailing Squadron will never be the same, without Pete flying from Swift's spinnacker halyard. However, the things which took up most of his last three years were dragging, weekending in Long Island, and planning both. Among his classmates. Pete was very well-liked tor his quick wit and contagious laugh. He was respected for his way with the girls. And he was envied for his extra-long weekends. Navy Air will be lucky to have Pete and his Corvette. OTIS KEENER EARLE Keener came to the Academy four years ago from Wallingford. Pa. Some people start off in great form but have a tendency to lose a part of their drive during the years before the race is over, such has certainly not been the case for one Otis Keener Earle. O.K. has accomplished a great deal more than could be praised as merely O.K. He was always on the Dean's List, despite the fact that he double overloaded every semester. In all areas of concern, whether they be academic, athletic, or professional he constantly strived to do his best. Otis' main interest lies in Foreign Affairs as seen in his extremely active participation in the Foreign Relations club and the fact that he was selected a Trident Scholar to do research in his area of concern. Keener's professional training while at the Academy has characterized his outlook on life, for he is concerned with accomplishing great and unusual, rather than the hum-drum, work-a-day tasks. Without a doubt Keener's untiring spirit, deep insight and intelligence will take him a long way.

Ever congenial, except during his frequent battles with academics Joe Lee has shown a keen interest in the surface fleet as is evidenced by the different voluntary programs of naval interest which he has pursued during leave periods.

Carl entered the Naval Academy after graduation from high school in Dallas. Texas, with high ideals and a strong sense of duty. 8ut the Yankees soon showed him the error of his ways after the Notre Dame game plebc year. From then on Carl steered a true, if somewhat unsteady course. Carl was never off the Dean's List during his four years at Navy. As a matter of fact, one might say his roommate taught him everything he knows. Majoring in Foreign Affairs. Carl always had a way with the girls, which explains his social inactivity. In fact he was so inactive that he spent four years behind the organ in the Chapel Choir. Well liked and admired by everyone in the class, Carl plans to match his speed with that of the Greyhounds of the fleet. PHILIP DALY GALLERY. JR.

In the future his home will probably still remain a hangou t for the boys to find a bed or party. ROBERT GILLEM LUCAS Luke as he is popularly known came to the Navy straight from the ranks of South High School in Springfield, Ohio. His background education there must have been pretty fine, for Luke was never one to have difficulty in his academics; Many a night Luke could be found assisting his classmates with their insolvable problems- Not only is he an outstanding student he performed in varsity cross-country, and heavyweight crew. Although not one of the frontrunners. his tremendous personality, and determined effort contributed not only to the team, but to many of the team members His preference is nuclear power submarines, and it seems only natural to say, that wherever this guy goes, he'll be a success both to himself and to the people with whom he shall come in contact. STEPHEN HENRY MATHESON Steve came to USNA 4 days after graduating from Huntington High School. He was young and innocent then, like a baby seagull . During that first summer. LCDR Fox destroyed his sheltered life in an effort to square away his line handling. Steve's intelligence combined with his fluent pen have made academics relatively easy in his Literature major. Academically and psychologically his sleep it off theory has proven itself over and over again. No problem was too great to take to his pillow. He has always enjoyed athletics more than anything else. It wasn't until his second class year that he allowed June Week to interfere with these athletic pursuits.

Riles proceeded to attack the books with such enthusiasm and vigor that he just managed to scrape through plebe year. Since then however, life has been all downhill. No longer in trouble with the academic departments, and not being one to turn down a friendly gesture by either friend or female, he has proceeded through life here at the academy with the abandon of a person destined to go on to greater things.

After graduate school the fleet will have a welcome addition in this very competent and very southern young man. STEPHEN ROY WILSON A mysterious fellow indeed is this blond Adonis called Willie. He's the only kid in the history of Long Island not born with a lacrosse stick in his hand. Although he admits a few such minute shortcomings, he has well atoned for them by the furious pace he has set for himself. His odd logic told him USNA would be the best place to start his medical career, and he is still hoping to get to college. Choosing literature as the subject of his one hour per week study time he is now well versed in mythology. Sports Illustrated, and Jo Collins. As an athlete there are none like him. Volleyball has been his greatest thrill, and he finally learned the game after four years. When he speaks of set-ups and spiking though, he's speaking of his primary extracurricular activity. The team of Wilson and Tom Collins ha e had some great times. Whether he's chasing girls in San Juan, talking of the hills of Georgia or roving in the City, he's quite a live wire.

The Navy gamed an outstanding officer when Harrisburg, Pa sent her favorite son, Charlie Wike, to USNA. A mature and understanding leader. Charlie is the source of advice and encouragement to his many friends. A man of few words, Charlie is respected by all who know him. As an athlete. Charlie excelled in lacrosse, football, and baseball. His mellow voice earned him many trips with the Glee Club and Chapel Choir. Though Charlie never did prefer the welcoming arms of Mother Bancroft, he put effort and enthusiasm into all he did as a midshipman. A challenge became an achievement for Charlie. Always in love, Charlie still found time to have problems with Aeronautical Engineering. Upon graduation, he hopes to practice his flight propulsion beneath the seas on a nuclear submarine. 405 1 st CLASSMEN 406 i RTi e 2nd SET CDR: D.R. Wood Ian; SUB-COR: S.P. Marvil; C.P.O.: F.L.

Coming to USNA by way of NAPS, Lew was a veritable man of the world. He claimed Potts-ville. Pa. as his home town and with this hardy background Lew made the trek from the coal mines to Sing Sing on the Severn. Although Lew was recruited for wrestling, he never saw the Navy mats. He decided to concentrate all his energies on academics and boxing, having markedly more success in the latter. Besides boxing Lew was a standout in 150 lb. intramural football. During his first three years at the academy. Lew's room was often referred to as “Shylock's Severn Suite , but nonetheless, he scrimped and saved for his treasured Vette . While Lew was never an immediate threat for a Rhodes Scholarship, he worked hard and obtained his minor in Management. This high spirited lad, with his fierce determination to succeed, will undoubtedly, be tops in his chosen field of aviation in the years to come. THOMAS HER8ERTBERNS Tom started out his career at Navy running between the first and second decks making chow calls every half minute, and he has been on the run ever since. Second class summer found Tom riding the Norfolk Air lift every weekend during Actramid to see one of his many girls (so he says) down at Va. Beach. He is possibly the only man in the brigade to not get fried for frying his eyeballs with a sun lamp. Plebe detail and induction day found Tom the terror of the incoming plebe class, he being younger than all of the men in his squad. But as fate would have it the kid made it to first class year in fine shape, and was made a three striper on the Regimental Staff Tom excelled his four years at Navy in academics, professional knowledge and girls. Someone even said that Tom will turn 20 before he makes it to the fleet! Tom will be a credit to the Navy line and will be remembered by all as a fine friend and classmate. RICHARD ALAN BUCHANAN Rick's approach to academy life was one of confidence and the determination to leave each job well done. Rick came from Paoli. Pennsylvania and entered the academy after graduating from high school, and as a plebe contributed much to the plebe football and baseball teams. Rick's hearty appetite, any baseball topic, or general good-natured fun could be the topic of a discussion that centered around him. While a youngster Rick lettered as a varsity pitcher for the Navy baseball team. Rick was also a very enthusiastic member of several fine intramural teams and quarterbacked his company football team to many victories on the gridiron. Rick's athletic prowess, however, was not his only attribute as was shown by his fine achievements in the academic department culminating in a double minor in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Rick had many fine experiences at Navy and one was his exchange cruise with the British Navy for first class cruise. We wish Rick the best of luck in the years to come and know that we will hear many fine reports of him in the future. ■■ WILLIAM RUSSELL BUTLER, JR. Bill came to the Naval Academy straight from high school in El Cajon, California where he was an active tennis player. Once in these hallowed halls, his latent strategic genius came to light and he became an ardent war-gamer, majoring in Operations Analysis. The tennis ability Butts possessed often turned the tide for the battalion tennis team for he seemed to have a knack for winning crucial games. When 8utts wasn't playing tennis or war games he was busy bringing mirth to the middies with his imitations of 8ob Dylan. Often he could be found playing his harmonica and guitar to a Dylan song while the record player blasted away with Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture. Bill wants to be a flyer and due to his war gaming experience will probably go down in history as the first squadron commander to aerially cross the T . 408 PHILLIP GEORGE COFFEY While in high school in Albany, New York, attending Vincentian Institute. Phil was active in various sports, his favorite being football. He came to the academy immediately after graduation. and his love of physical fitness and athletics continued here. He has been a standout on the heavyweight football teams and Company and Battalion basketball team. He also spent sometime on the academy football team. Not a great scholar, Phil made up for it with his social life. Always a welcome guest, he spread cheer at many parties, both near and far. The excitement of jets will attract Phil into Naval Aviation upon graduation. Everyone will assure you that he will be a success in the service. MICHAEL EDMUND DANESI Mike came to the Academy right out of high school from the banks of the mighty Seekonk. He adjusted very quickly to the new way of life and took everything in stride - characterized by his quiet, easy-going manner. However, there were several incidents - starting with 2 c summer and extending through 2 c June Week where the Wop was the life of the party. Mike was noted around the halls for his 'hearty appetite (although he went on a diet at Little Creek) and struggle with the pad monster who conquered him quite often. But there was quite a bit of knowledge in that head of his and he even found time to make the Supt's List a couple of times. On the sports field there wasn't a harder competitor than Mike, who adapted to the game of fieldball like a born pro. His driving will and perseverance, coupled with his leadership qualities and ability to make friends with everyone, will certainly make Mike a success in anything he tries. ROBERT STACY EVANS With a deep interest in the naval profession. Bob came to the Academy bright-eyed and eager to learn. His interest extends from the sailing days of years past to the nuclear submarines of tomorrow, and it's easy to feel that Bobby has a knowledge of the profession equaled by very few. He joined the ranks of middies directly from London High in Jacksonville. Florida. Sports-wise, he was coxswain for the lightweight crew team plebe summer and plebe year; since then, he has been an electrifying member of the Juice Gang, an activity which suited his technical mind and applied science major well. He balances his fine mind and serious thoughts with a sense of humor surpassed by none, and these combine to make him a well-rounded, very well-liked gentleman, one who will make an outstanding addition to the Navy. MICHAEL TERRENCE GAUL Mike came to the Naval Academy upon graduation from St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland. Ohio, where he had established himself as an outstanding individual, academically and athletically. Known by all for his sense of humor and quick wit. Mike was instrumental in bringing a bit of levity to the otherwise dismal halls of Mother B . He was an active member in BAC and Newman Club and at the same time managed to be a regular on the Supt's List. His athletic prowess was a great asset to Company and Battalion intramurals and his fierce competitiveness is surpassed by none. Mike's likeable personality and good naturedness will assure him of a very successful and fruitful life. 409 FIFTH BATTALION THIRTIETH COMPANY JOHN PATRICK HOGAN Jack, like most of us. came to the Academy a civilian at heart. Coming directly from Davenport. Iowa, he had a year at St. Ambrose College under his belt along with a spare tire which was a result of that highly cherished year. He adjusted well to his second freshman year here, due greatly to his easy-going likable personality. His four years on the Severn brought many laughs to all who crossed his path, and many ideas to modernize the Marble Monastery , most of which never got out of his room. He had a standing feud with the technical aspects of the curriculum, and though it did score a few knockdowns, it never gained a decision. Besides working hard to beef up his QPR, Hoagie was an intramural stalwart who hated to lose, as evidenced by his hard-hitting heavy weight football career. Jack looks with great anticipation and relief to graduation, after which Navy air will occupy his time. He is sure to brighten many more lives as he has brightened ours on many occasions. i ' JOHN CHARLES KNAPP Coming North from Dade City and Avon Park, Florida after his graduation from high school, John made an easy transition into Navy life. His good sense of humor, warm personality and good-naturedness enabled him to make many friends - especially femmes - during his stay at USNA. Knapper is noted for being the best dressed mid on campus and also for never being without a date - or two - or three! When he isn’t restricting or collecting Black N stars John can always be counted on to be the life of the party - stag or especially drag. ’’Culpepper's interests include dating, parties, the Detroit Tigers, and a 2.0 cumulative QPR. Upon graduation. John hopes to acquire his Wings of gold and trade his Corvette bucket seat in for the seat of an A-4. His many friends will never forget him or his many hilarious episodes. We wish John the best of luck in the Air and on the 8each. DANIEL BARRETT LEAR Hailing from up-state New York-Syracuse to be exact - Dan entered good ole’ USNA after graduating from The Manlius School for Boys. Since King was accustomed to the idea of toting a rifle in prep school, the transition to life at the Academy was not a difficult one. Dan was active in football and lacrosse in high school and continued with lacrosse at Navy, playing on the Plebc and Battalion teams. Always quick with a smile land the refreshments) Dan was a welcome addition to any party, wherever it wasl Outside of parties, Dan’s activities included the Antiphonal Choir, and the Honor Committee. Dan also took great interest in helping out the Freshman . After graduation Dan plans a career in the destroyer Navy. Everyone who has known Dan during his four years at Navy is certain of one thing - the Academy is losing a great midshipman, but the fleet is gaining a fine officer. We wish Dan the best of luck in the future. JOHN WARREN LEE Since June of '64. the proper answer to What is the oldest object in the yard? has been Mister Lee, Sir!” The Rotund One hails from Portsmouth, Virginia, where he used to pass the time of day playing checkers and sipping mint I juleps from his rocking chair. John is well-known | at the Academy. He has often been the personal guest of the Superintendent, the Dean, and other members of the Academic 8oard. Although he missed being number one in the class academically, he has left his mark as a dauntless YP driver. Even the mightiest of timbers at the Dewey seawall have been known to yield to the forces controlled by the Behemoth. John attributes his fine sense of military bearing and devotion to duty to a year at VMI and three in the Marine Corps (not to mention two years in the AEF during the World War). I Although he will be forced to retire within the I decade because of his age, he carries with him a cheery attitude and the ability to make friends wherever he goes. 410 STEPHEN PATRICK MARVIL Pat will be remembered by us all for a smiling look toward the bright side of everything. Leaving behind him a remarkable athletic and academic record at Laurel High School in Delaware, he came to spend four years of his life spreading cheer along the banks of the mighty Severn. Although his numerous exploits can't be listed, the adventures of Woody in San Juan, and of Buts in Little Creek must be mentioned because they brought us so much mirth. When his whim turned to the serious, however. an outstanding athlete and student showed through. Squash was his strongest sport at Navy, and he played on the plebe team. But squash was by no means the limit of his athletic interests. He never had any trouble with the books either. Pat's biggest asset, however, will always remain his bright personality which makes him a friend to all who know him. Such a combination is certain to bring success in the future, wherever it may lead him. JOHN FREDERICK MAYER JR. Born in Richmond. Va. the heart of the south, John came to the Academy after spending a year at the University of Richmond. Succeeding in his second try. John got an appointment to the Academy. You can always tell John by his southern drawl and the Rebel flag on his b-robe. Majoring in Chemistry kept his free periods to a minimum, and kept him working hard. Every winter finds John on Hospital Point playing company fieldball and in the Spring he plays baseball there. Although still undecided as to what branch of the Navy he will enter upon graduation, no matter which he chooses, it will benefit from this hard-working Naval Officer. FRED LOUIS MUNIZ Fred left Oonora, Pa. and California State College (in California. Pa. to come to the Naval Academy. Endowed with a great sense of humor and a great case for making friends, he made the adjustment to Academy life quite easily. Being an avid sports enthusiast, Fred was always up on the latest developments from the world of sport, particularly his Pittsburgh Pirates. After a year of Plebe basketball, he concentrated his efforts on intramurals. Whether on the gridiron or hardwood, Fred was an integral and valuable asset to his classmates and the Brigade. His interests also include sleep, graduation, the Oonora Shuffle , and physical metallurgy, with decidedly more success in the former three. After, and contingent upon, graduation, Fred plans to go Navy line to see what the world is like outside of Oonora and Annapolis. With his competitive, easy going attitude, he will certainly get the most out of life and be a credit to the N3val Service. TEDDY MAX NEAL Ted's happy air and constant good humor during his four years in Ernest Flagg's nightmare were always an inspiration to his classmates. He-was a definite asset to the Company soccer and lightweight football teams, but his greatest athletic interest was always rugby he was always limping for one injury or another received in his beloved rugger”. He was also active in Musical Club Show and Masqueraders. Ted majored in Aero, and wants to go Navy Air, but due to two unfortunate experiences -youngster and first class LANTMIDTRARON -he will go Marine Corps if his eyes keep him from flying. Everyone who really knows Ted will attest to the fact that his presence will perk up spirits wherever he goes in the Naval Service. 411 FIFTH BATTALION THIRTIETH COMPANY 1968 BRUCE HARRY NEEDHAM 8ruce hails from Wilmington, Delaware and his father, like everyone else, works for Uncle Dupie . Bruce came to the Academy straight from John Dickerson High School and minored in Oceanography. After suffering a heartbreaking experience with his high school sweetheart at the end of plebc year, he spent an enjoyable cruise, in the Boston area. This cruise was a turning point in his life. On a weekend at Hyannis, Bruce was picked up by his future wife while thumbing a ride. He spent the rest of the summer with her. and every leave period since then. After graduation Bruce plans on becoming a 9-to-5 P-3 pilot and settling down to a married life. 1 i l PHIL B. PADGETT. II Alll-YAHI! and your door flies open and slams shut again. Phil is practicing his karate on your door. Thus you might find this Texan in the afternoon. More likely, however, he's sailing around the Bay with the YP Squadron. Through the Squadron, this former sub-mariner has gained an appreciation for surface Navy, and he plans to head that way after graduation. During the evenings, you'd find Demetri hard at work with his books. One of those few who spend five years as a midshipman, he's a career motivated middy who never says die. The old man of the company, also the one with the least hair. Phil has special interests in photography and music. Phil's many interests may sometimes make him seem distant, for he is very busy, but in reality he's a guy who'd do anything for a friend. SPENCER EVERETT ROBBINS. Ill Spence came to Navy from Falls Church, Va. Since then his residence has changed to Ankara, Turkey, where his father, a Navy Captain is Chief-of-Staff. Spence comes from a sea-faring family. Besides his father, a '43 graduate of USNA, and a brother in '67 at Navy, he also has a brother in the class of '70 at the Merchant Marine Academy. During his four years at the Academy, Spence showed his athletic ability in company soccer, lightweight football, and softball. Second class year he was the beloved friend of the plebos, every Wednesday afternoon he spent his free time helping them run off hours of extra-duty. Every spring, as soon as the ice thaws, Spence, an ardent sunworshipper, can be found in his reserved spot on the 5th wing terrace. After graduation Spence plans to follow in his father's footsteps and become a Naval Aviator. DONALD STEPHAN WALLACE Straight from the badlands of North Dakota and the wild west town of Williston, Don swept into the Naval Academy ready to conquer the water, as he had the Indians on the plain. Wally squeezed his way through Plebe Year with four men in a two man room full of thoughts of a tiny but splendid package awaiting him at home. The Concert Band found Wally's licorice stick more effective than his slide rule but once the rigors of Plebe Year ran their course, the Academic Department was hit with a shock of pleasure as his QPR skyrocketed. Four years have found Wally developing an excellent skill on the squash and handball courts with the Fifth Batt squash team, under his command, copping the Brigade championship. Sunday found Don singing in the Antiphonal Choir and looking at the beautiful visitors which arrive in great numbers. Hawaii on Youngster Cruise, Pensacola as a Second Class and the Med on First Class Cruise all turned Don towards the finer things in life — golf, girls and fun in any order. Navy Air will gain a valuable asset if the call of the Dolphin doesn't catch Don first. 412 BUDDY ALLEN WARD Buddy came to the Academy from McAllen. Texas via a year in the Marine Corps. He brought with him the typical Texan's cheery outlook and combined that with the gung-ho of the marines to produce his imperturbable disposition that won him his many friends. His athletic endeavors during the four years were confined to intramural wrestling, football and water-polo, with the exception of his gyrations with the plebe varsity gymnastics team. Although sometimes accused of being a personal fitness fiend, he always managed to find time for relaxation during which he excelled at man's favorite sport. Never one of the shining lights of the Academic world. Bud managed to overcome the steam and skinny departments and come away with his minor in Management. . Having had a desire to be a marine since he was tread high to an ontos . Bud will return to the Corps and be a fine addition to their ranks. DONALD RAY WOODLAN Don came to us from Painesville, Ohio where he lettered m football and baseball at Riverside High. Once at Navy he forgot varsity athletics but still managed to earn and keep stars throughout his Academy years. Possessing that mythical 4.0 QPR, his room never seemed to contain just its normal habitants, for at all hours the confused wondered in searching for the gouge on juice and math or just for advice. Woody was a good listener, and as honor rep he built a reputation for sound judgement. Some would call Woody mild, serious, or scholarly, but they have obviously never been exposed to him when aroused either on the intramural football and soccer fields or else at evening meal when the ice cream or steak seconds slipped by him. then his truly distinctive roar could be heard on 7-4. His service aspirations have fluctuated between aviation and destroyers, but is it certain that the branch of the service fortunate enough to have him and wise enough to keep him well fed will certainly find him a valuable asset for his straightforward, warm personality and for his exceptionally keen insight and judgement. 413 414 4th CLASSMEN SIXTH BATTALION STAFFS 1st SET SIXTH BATTALION STAFF COR: C.L.

Jr. 417 SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-FIRST COMPANY JAMES WILLIAM BOHLIG Jim Bohlig, or Boom'Boom as he was called by his classmates, came to the Naval Academy right after finishing an illustrious career at Larkin High School in Elgin. Illinois, where he starred in football, baseball, and basketball. Boom-Boom quickly found the academic atmosphere to his liking and compiled grades good enough for either the Supt's or Dean's List. Maioring in Chemistry, Jim undertook a heavy classroom and laboratory schedule, but still devoted a good deal of time to the athletic field, where he consistently excelled in volleyball, football, and softball. His winning spirit was infectious to Company morale and often contributed a good deal to its victories. Probably 8oom-Boom's greatest pursuit in his leisure time was his various associations with female acquaintances. Jim's high academic standing has led him to anticipate a challenging career in Nuclear Power, in which he will undoubtedly excel as he has in his four years at Annapolis. ROBERT WILLIAM BECKWITH Bex came to the Naval Academy after two years at the University of Pittsburgh and a year as a radioman third in the fleet. From the beginning he has usually been able to stay loose and be one step ahead of the system (except in his dealings with plebesl. He is known throughout the Brigade for his friendliness, good humor and extremely optimistic outlook. Bex is also an avid sports fan, always knowing how the Pirates or Steelers are doing. Bob's major project for the past four years has been seeing and meeting the different peoples of the world. All his summers have been spent traveling from Hawaii to Sweden. It will take quite a girl to make him settle down. Majoring in Mechanical Engineering, he has been able to maintain a high QPR and still have time to date every weekend. His plans now envision the surface line or subs. The fleet will certainly benefit from his graduation for he has all the qualities to become an outstanding officer and leader. GEORGE LEAKIN BREEDEN. II Mother Bancroft is more than just a figurative mother to George who was born at the Naval Academy Hospital. A well-rounded athlete, the Rat came to USNA with a strong track and cross-country background, but easily adapted himself to soccer and lacrosse. His interests did not lie only in sports. In fact, the only time he could not be found at a dance was when a German Club trip called him away. The academic departments have always been a friend to George, leaving him on or close to Supt's list every semester. Upon graduation, George plans to follow in his father's footsteps, that of Navy Line, where he will be a fine officer and a real credit to the Navy. BARRY VAILE BURROW Out of the north woods of the state of Washington, Barry came to USNA with much the same insecure outlook as any other new fourth classman, but the years have proved him to be quite a bit different from the ordinary. A Navy junior, he knew the ropes of Navy life and seemed to have no real trouble getting used to Academy life. The Company and Battalion sports fields have often seen his face, but in spite of this, he sees to it that his obligation to the Blue Trampoline is more than met. Quite a sua e and debonair Mid, his exploits arc known for and wide; his broad-minded outlook the prime reason. A Company TRIDENT Rep's job during third and second class years and cheerlcading first class year also have provided sidelights. In spite of all his activities, he's been a star man all but one semester at USNA, so he must have studied at sometime. Nuclear Power or the Georgia Tech, graduate program will find Barry a willing student, and he'll surely go far. 418 REID OWEN CARLOCK Reid came to the Naval Academy from Alexandria, Virginia, but as a service Junior he lived in many parts of the country. His many athletic interests and achievements in high school were continued at Navy on the intramural level and provided the Company's sports squads with spirit and talent. The P.T. Department had rare occasion to see him since he validated most of their required courses. Academics, too, were no problem for Roc . With amazingly little effort he conquered Steam and Skinny but his true love remained the Bull Department for which he studied the hardest. Reid's quiet manner and conscientiousness won many friends here at the Academy and will continue to do so m the future. The Marine Corps will be getting a fine officer and man. HAROLD FRANCIS CARPENTER Easy-to-get-along-with Harold (Hap) F. Carpenter calls Whitestone-Queens, New York home. Ever since he first stormed U.S.N.A.’s walls. Hap did much to deserve his nickname. Having such an optimistic attitude, he usually was able to make the best of many a situation, oft times involving women, wine. etc. Famed for almost inevitable having the gouge , he was frequently seen helping a distressed classmate or underclassman. As far as his over-all personality is concerned.- he's the type of guy who'd do the public relations department of any organization a favor by just being there. Concerning extracurricular activities. Hap rose to the top of the one upon which he chose to concentrate-He was the head honcho of the Y.P. Squadron (Commodore). In the off-season, he usually gave handballers or squash players a run for their money. PHILIP JAMES CURTIS A local boy from Silver Spring. Maryland. Phil came to the Academy straight from Springbrook H. S. Though his dad was an Academy Grad, he knew no more of Annapolis than the average plebe. but also like the average plebe he learned the Navy Way quickly. He came to appreciate the Academy and be one of its staunchest defenders among his civilian friends. Here at Navy he learned to play squash on the intramural level and developed his favorite pastimes of basketball and sleeping. P. J. as he was nicknamed by his plebe summer squad leader, was a member of that misunderstood bunch over in Ward Hall called Weapons Systems engineers. Being one of the most far-out of the bunch, naturally he became the Weapons Department's Trident Scholar. Looking forward to a career in the Black Shoe Navy, he hopes to make a quick stop at Michigan State to pick-up his M. S. before going operational. WILLIAM TIMOTHY COLLINS Tim, often referred to by his friends as the Old Man , came to Annapolis after a year at the University of Florida. Tim had his choice of the Air Force and Naval Academics, and has never regretted his decision. Although he claims Odessa. Texas, as his home, as an Air Force junior Tim has lived all over the world. Tim's family, among the most fun-loving and personable people anywhere, know the real meaning of the term Southern hospitality . Jealously guarding his Texas heritage. Tim owns about the flashiest Western outfit going including a fifty — dollar Stetson, genuine cowhide boots, and a turqoise-studded belt buckle. His loves include sports cars, his guitar, country and western music, and aviation. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Tim will be one of the finest Marine Aviators ever. 419 SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-FIRST COMPANY JOHN ROBERT DEW Where the Muskingum meets the Ohio is the town John hails from Marietta. Ohio. Better known to his friends as Dewey or Man Mountain , John blundered into the academy straight from high school. Right from the start he drove everyone crazy with his unending stream of obscure facts; little carry-on at his tables. Plebe year he went out for fencing, earned his numerals that year and the next. Second class year found John looking for further excitement, so he became a Brigade boxer. A professional interest found John riding the boats with the V. P. Squadron during the springs. First class year, he also took on the job of Trident Society treasurer. John was known for his closeness , from the hair on hrs head to his scrapes with academics. A man with big ideas and the fortitude to match, you'll find him pursuing his current goal; UDT. JOHN STUART DOYLE, JR. The roar of the cannon at Navy football games was small in comparison to the explosive life that John Doyle led. John came to us from St. Ignatius High School in Chicago, where he starred in baseball and seldom troubled with books. Seldom off of the Supt's and Dean’s list, in spite of his Russian major, the south side flame not only excelled in academics but was a superb athlete on Company volleyball, football and baseball teams. There was seldom a weekend that one did not find John dragging, for not only was he skilled in school, but was really one of the nice guys that you meet in life. John's graduation is a severe loss for the academy, however the Navy will be well rctributed by a fine addition to the Swift Boat Squadron in South Viet Nam in which he hopes to serve. PAUL CHARLES FARMER Elected as the most ambitious in his class, Paul set out on a career that would soon prove to be one of drive and determination. Arriving at USNA from Lyndhurst High, Grunt as he is known by all, easily adjusted to the rigorous routine of Academy life. Being a Varsity letter-man in track and football at Lyndhurst, Paul’s talents proved to be a great asset to the winning spirit of the Company football and soccer teams. A firm believer in the art of warfare, Grunt battled it out with the Academic Department every semester but always came out triumphantly. Grunt’s tremendous wit was second to none - he was never known to let anyone get the best of him. An austere fighting man, Paul will soon prove to be an invincible leader of our Marine Corps. MARVIN HUBERT FLOOM, JR. Coming right out of high school presented no problem to this rugged and likeable Marine brat from Los Altos, California. Marv or Zoom as he was nicknamed, had many interests while at U.S.N.A., most of which involved Company work or academics. Playing intramural sports (soccer, fieldball, and lacrosse) provided many wild and memorable experiences including a five month stretch in the hospital when he broke his leg at a soccer practice. Marv never was one to let things get in his way, not even a tough academic load in , Electrical Engineering could keep him from taking those long, beautiful Supt's List weekends First Class Year. This second generation Marine Corps Officer should be a valuable asset and capable leader wherever the Corps may send him. 420 MARTIN ALBERT GUNTHER An avid Scuba diver, Marty, traveling by the underwater route arrived a week late at Navy and found the activity a bit more hectic than at his suburban Philadelphia home. The challenges of Academic year were no problem as Marty consistently made the Supt's list while garnering in a major in Aerospace Engineering. Not one to let any area escape his attention, Marty applied himself professionally as well and was rewarded with the easy Plcbc Detail job and a bag-it tour on the Regimental Staff. Marty could be found on the intramural battlefield at every opportunity but, not to be outdone, he could be found in the pad every possible chance. Weekends would find Marty either dragging that very special o.a.o. or. beneath the waters of the Chesapeake as Safety Officer on a Scuba club dive. With every field open to him after graduation, the Naval Air Training Command may have to wait its turn for this future flier. But no matter how long the wait. Naval Aviation could not hope for a more dedicated, sincere person and all-around fine fellow to join its ranks. FRANCIS KEVIN HOLIAN Fran hails from Honolulu, Hawaii and, 3scan be expected, when he is temporarily transferred to those few blessed weeks of civilian duty, can readily be found soaking up some sun in the sand and surf. With one eye on his board and the other roving in all possible directions, he rarely misses a view of mankind's special gifts to our beaches. The second regimental side of Smoke Park is often brightened considerably by his companions. Although some of our classmates can boast slightly better academic records, few show more determination and effort. An aggressive and hard hitting competitor, Fran has proven his worth many times on both varsity and intramural athletic fields. Upon graduation he plans to go Navy Line, which is as close to the surf as he can get. Although the opportunities for Girl' watching may not be quite as good, his other more professional abilities will make his choice one gladly acknowledged by our own men of the sea. CHARLES WALTER MAYER. JR. From the heart of the South Chuckles came to the school on the Severn straight from high school. It was never like this in Nashville. Tennessee! Easily recognized by his deep throated Southern drawled, yes. suh, Chuck took the normal amount of gas that went along with plebe year. The quiet stubborn southerner was quick to jump the first hurdle of academics; being on the Dean's List several times but fighting constantly with the swimming department. Chuckles truly floated like a rock; excellent in the underwater swiml In his own precise and calculating way he observed the blunders of the Executive Department with sheer amazement and the shock which accompanied only the unbelievable. With nuclear powered submarines as his goal. Chuck will probably have designed his own hull, reactor, and propulsion system by the time Admiral Rickover will let him go.

His quiet ways, mixed with a wealth of understanding and patience, gained him the respect of all who come into contact with him. With sextant firmly in hand, there is no doubt that Spud will stand an alert watch throughout his Navy career. 437 SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-THIRD COMPANY STEPHEN KING JONES Steve emerged from the heartland of the Buckeye near Piqua, Ohio. His life was a complete void until he entered the University of Cincinnati where he became a brother in Sigma Alpha Epsilon and in his spare time studied Mechanical Engineering for a year before turning back to Plcbc year at Navy. Steve is a person whom no one can forget. His dedication to principle, lofty character, and ideals made him an indispensable source of stability within the company. Organization and planning are evident in Steve's efforts at any. thing. Steve was captain of the 67-68 Navy Pistol Team and showed his leadership in the clutch situations often enough to collect a string of medals long enough to tie his laundry bag. Navy Air was Steve's service selection and first love, and if his Academy record is any indication, he will be one of the finest tinker toy jockies in the Fleet. KENNETH ALFRED HORNE Ken, a Navy Junior, came to this place from Glenbrook North High School, in Northbrook. Illinois. He took a quick liking to the fruit profs in the Dago Department, and. thanks to them, he was able to stay on the Supt's List for many of his Academy days. Realizing the importance of an understanding of counterinsurgency to a good officer, Ken was highly disappointed to return in the fall of first class year to discover that Mission: Impossible had been moved to 2300. Sundays. Four years ago, this boy dreamed of flying 'copters, staying single, and seeing the world: now, he wants to ride a P-3. But, having inherited from his firstic that wonderful knack of being able to pull out a grade at the last minute, Ken shouldn't find too much detracting from his success at Pensacola. ORVILLE ALVIN KOLLASCH Orv came to the Academy after graduation from high school in Esterville. Iowa. He brought with him a special Spirit, sincerity, and desire which seems to show wherever he goes. After lettering in football and track, along with wrestling. Orv proved himself to be quite a versatile athlete at USNA participating in intramural boxing, crew, softball, lightweight football, squash, handball, ract time, and gymnastics. His ability and determination proved to be a real asset to every team he played on. Just ask him about his early morning walks out to the sea wall and back. When he was not working on academics, Orv was actively engaged in the Big 8rothcr program and the Newman club. His devotion, drive and unselfishness will certainly make him a respected Naval Officer and an asset to his country. EDWARD LOUIS KOSKY Although Ed is not a Navy junior he lived in a Navy oriented town, Sanford. Florida for six years before coming to USNA. It was there that he decided that he wanted to be a Navy pilot. During his years at the Academy, Ed has had various struggles with the academic and Executive departments- As the saying goes, he won a few, and he lost a few. There weren't many that were rained out, however. Always a ladies' man, Ed has had a succession of different drags. Those who played against him in intramural soccer will remember him as a fierce competitor. He was always in the thick of the action even though he was usually the smallest guy on the field. 438 ROBERT HUGO NELSON Bob came to U.S.N.A. from the smallest state around, Rhode Island, where he graduated from Cranston High School East. During plebe year, he established a reputation as a pool rat, becoming the Plebe swimming team Captain. Surviving to be a youngster, was the most important part of the first year to 8ob. Youngster year he joined the varsity fish, winning a letter and breaking a few records in the process, setting the standard for the next two years. In the spring, he got a taste of water polo, the sport which occupied his time from March to June in the remaining two years. Although a combination of bag work and tougher academics tried hard, they failed to push him off the Superintendent's List, a virtual semester occurrence. Second class year, a switch from 15 to 33rd Company brought the peace and solitude of 8-4. First class year brought long weekends, a new Porsche, and added responsibilities as Vice President of the Antiphonal Choir. 8ob hopes to be accepted for Nuclear Training and spend his Navy career in submarines. DAVID SHERMAN NIMMER Dave, better known as Nims , arrived at USNA fresh from a year at the University of Wisconsin. His good sense of humor and quick wit aided him in the rapid re adjustment to the military and earned him many friends. No laggard when it came to sports, he could be found most afternoons at the handball courts, and his competitiveness made him a valuable part of the Met's Fieldball team. Though known to shy away from school work at times, his perceptive mind brought him through four years with a respectable grade average. Dave's Interest after graduation lies with Naval Aviation. His well rounded personality makes him a good friend to all. this coupled with his level headed thinking will guarantee him a successful career and prove him an asset to the Navy. PETER JOSEPH PELOQUIN Pete came to the Academy from the green-lands of Cadett. Wisconsin, halfway between the equator and north pole. His main interests have been displayed in various sports, adding much desire and drive to some, just trying out for others. Other interests include Newman Club. Foreign Relations Club, and occasional battles with swimming sub-club. His academic interest is in Applied Science and Electrical Engineering. He has been off and on Supt’s List for various reasons, including the pool. Pete has been known for burning his share of night oil. writing letters. He hopes to put some of this to use in the Silent Service. WALTER HARRY PETERSON Coming from Texas as an Army brat. Wally had two strikes against him when he first reported to the Academy. He soon made up for this, becoming a charter member of the plebe goon platoon. After learning his hayfoot from his strawfoot. Wally went on to excel in other areas. Youngster year found Wally with airborne wings and with the blue trampoline his major landing zone. His claim to fame that year was his ability to set up friends with dates. During second class year Wally showed his proficiency in line tactics by successfully crossing the T with his attack knockabout in Santee Basin. First class year found Wally looking towards a career in Navy line. Despite his rather insecure start. Wally developed into a fine leader the Naval Service will find no finer material to serve on and command her ships at sea. 439 SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-THIRD COMPANY BRIAN L. SACKS Brian comes to us from Baltimore. Maryland. His great value to the Navy, already supported by high ranking officers, should prove to be remarkable. With a sound and profound knowledge of warfare, Brian will likely achieve his goal of guiding the Navy to a pork free menu with kosher dill pickles. A conscientious athlete of untold strength. Brian has little to fear of the outside world. Those at home who know that Brian Sacks has the conn will rest with peace of mind that their country's defense is in good hands. Brian has the distinction of being the only midshipman to ha e ever been in three companies while at the Academy. His professional abilities and academic prowess was without question. ARTHUR JAMES RAUCHLE, JR. Rikes hails from an all Marine family and never lets anybody forget it. And at present it looks like an all-Marine family for him after basic school . His fancy footwork on the soccer field amazed not only the opposition but his teammates as well. His hard work on the football field was well appreciated also. His selection of music was second only to his roommates. Jimbo's unfailing optimism enlightened many a dull evening during the Dark Ages . AJ without a doubt earned his Supt's List weekends through diligent study, although the academics never seemed to give him much trouble. Coach was most noted for losing roommates. I am sure Jim will be welcome wherever he may go, and the Marine Air program will have an outstanding officer, who will model himself after his idol. Chesty Puller. Best of Luck I WILLIAM EBY STOCKSLAGER Stocks, coming to us from sub school via NAPS is our one and only original whitehat. Relying on his wealth of experience and knowledge, the old man of the company is not one to go unheard on any question. His opinions are always amply voiced, and he seems always to be in the thick of things. Though Florida is the Stockslager family home, much of Bill's time is spent away in Baltimore and Mass., for obvious reasons. Destined to be one of Adm. Rickover's boys, a long and happy career in the Silent Service (a change for him!! is his goal. And he, the great kind of guy he is. will make it. 440 JERRY CARTHAL WATSON Being a Navy junior, Jerry had a pretty good idea what the Navy was all about and set out to get his share and this he did too, going all the way to the semifinals in the Brigade boxing championships as a plcbc. In the leadership category he was company rep for a year and ended up making up watch bills with a new fangled computer as Batt Adjutant first class year. Of course all work and no play would just not be Wats, even though he did gain quite creditable grades, one was always hard pressed to find him in Mother B on the weekend, for what's life without les femmes? It was hard to find him in his room among a sop with camel, numerous flags and posters, and various and assorted oriental paraphernalia displayed everywhere. Who else could be caught by his company officer at the beginning of first class year with his car and not be popped? Whether it be the guys in green or the blue suits who get him as a comrade, a very successful career isclearily indicated. NATHAN CLARK WILLIAMS Clark cam® to the Academy from Norwich Free Academy in Norwich, Connecticut. Like most Navy juniors, Clark developed a keen interest and respect for the Navy very early in his life. While at the Academy. Clark was a member of the Varsity Sailing Squadron and qualified as Midshipman Sailing Master his second class year. He also participated in intramurals and gave his vigorous support to all other company activities. Perhaps, Clark's greatest asset is his ability to meet all challenges, squarely and vigorously until they're overcome, whether it's cleaning his room or studying academics. His success can be evaluated by always finding his name on the Dean's List and Superintendent's List, his selection as a Trident Scholar, and his appointment as Brigade Sub-Commander. Clark intends to use this asset after graduation to further his education and prepare for a challenging career in Nuclear Power. CO 442 THIRTY-FOURTH COMPANY 3rd SET CDR: D.W. Hendricks;SUB-CDR: J.O.

Unfortunately, one of his favorite pastimes during this period had not been physical fitness and he had to really struggle to last through those Plebe summer workouts. With his usual determination and never-give-up attitude, he managed to survive the rigors of Plebe summer and a Plebe year highlighted by the winning of his first and only 8lack N . Having picked up the ominous nickname of Boob”, Bob managed to bree-te through the first year of academics, but has since found things a little more difficult, having chosen the challenging field of Mechanical Engineering as his minor. However, Bob's grades seldom seem to reflect the hardwork he puts forth, or the knowledge he gains, in the majority of his courses Although not proned to athletic endeavors, Bob still became competent in handball, fieldball. and softball during his years at the Academy. His sincerity, forthrightness, and his capacity for hard work should make Bob a successful and dependable Naval officer. JAMES CHARLES BRADFORD Coming from a Navy family, it can be said that Chuck hails from just about anywhere-Coronado. Alameda. Arlington, Panama. Although coming to USNA directly out of high school. Chuck did not find the academics difficult and has worn stars ever since his first semester. Plebe year. Those long weekends First Class Year were well liked. Chuck pulled an oar for the Plebe crew team and could be found helping out the company on the gridiron and soccer fields. In the spring. Chuck could also be found assisting the battalion tennis teams to a championship. All work and no play makes Chuck a dull boy. And many weekends were spent either in the company of a young lady or into D.C. to enjoy those Supt's List weekends. In the future Chuck will attend graduate school for his Master's and then onto Admiral Rickover's Nuclear Power school and a career in submarines. HOWARD ALAN CORR Howie, better known as Hac graced the campuses of the U. of Hartford and Stevens Tech before enlisting in the Navy. From there he was just a one-year step from USNA via the Prep school at Bainbridge. Md. Having 2 years of college and service experience, plebe year posed no problem except for the lack of racktimc. Being a math whiz, his room was constantly filled with the not-so-enlightened in math and related subjects. You could always count on help from Hac. In addition, to being a classroom slash, Hac also was noted for his swash-buckling prowesson the fencing strip. For two years in a row he was a source of constant pride and pleasure for Coach Dcladrier, carrying the Navy EPEE team to two east coast championships. Heading for the closest nuclear sub base after Nuclear Power School, Hac will take with him sincerity, outstanding intelligence. unending athletic ability, and the best wishes of all his classmates. GEORGE CHESTER DUFFORD, JR. Chet came to the Academy after a year of fun at Auburn University. A diver with the plebe swimming team, he served as team manager for the next two seasons. The fall and spring sets were devoted to sailing the Chesapeake Bay as a member of the sailing squadron. His efforts were rewarded first class year when he was made skipper of his own yawl, Frolic. Seldom burning the midnight oil past taps, Chet never-theless has made his way to both Dean's list and Supt's list a number of times. Not even his unofficial appointment as 34th company's COMTV seemed to affect his grades. Being suitable impressed with youngster and first class cruises. Duff plans to go Navy Air after graduation, hopefully following completion of the Immediate Masters Program in Aerospace Engineering. Whatever his choice, Chet's professional knowledge is highly regarded. He will make an outstanding Naval officer, and be a credit to the Navy. 444 WILLIAM JOHN GREEN 8ill came to us soon after graduation from Miami's. Jackson High School. Putting his talents to good use he joined the Catholic Choir and Glee Club and made the trips to Ft. Lauderdale plebe year and to the midwest during third and second class years. However. Bill didn't limit his activities to singing and afternoons would find him practicing with the Company volleyball and Battalion rugby teams in the spring and fall and the Company football and Battalion handball teams in the winter. Of course, if the team wasn't practicing that day. Bill was sure to give the blue trampoline a good workout Graduating with a minor in Operations Analysis Bill has the qualities of maturity and judgement that mark him as a promising officer regardless of his service choice. DENIS STIWELL HALLMAN Denis came to the Academy via NAPS as perhaps the Navy's hottest second class photographic intelligence mate. Arriving late in the summer with an arm m a sling, he finally made it through the rigors of plebe year and with sincere hard work brought his academics up to the Supt's list level. Active in the Portuguese Club and all around man in intramurals, he had the true competitive spirit. However, his real interest concerned a certain girl from Long Beach and this activity took all his spare time his final year. Let it never be said that Denis did not always do his best, for with his sarcastic wit. and academic ability, he always ranked high in the company. It is without doubt that success will be his as he returns to his beloved black shoe Navy to pick up where he left off. JAMES OTTO HONIGSCHMIDT Hailing from the better half of the Twin Cities. OTTO came to USNA after a year on the campus of the University of Minnesota in his hometown of Minneapolis. What was Minnesota's loss was Maryland's gain for Otto brought with him a quick and good-natured wit. an outstanding ability to get along with one and all. and leadership talents that were respected by peer and senior alike. Making the transition from civilian to Midshipman was no problem for J. O. The only problem he ever encountered was with study hour. Otto suffered the distinction of putting more time in and less grade out than anyone in the Company. 8ut what he learned, he learned well and never forgot. In the social vein, just give Otto a Corvette, and a place with cool sounds and away he went. We wish him Good Luck in his future and hope that the Navy may attain many more as competent as Otto. DALE WAYNE HENRICKS A native of Bloomfield. Iowa, Dale gave up the plow to pursue an education at USNA. In his half-decade tour at the Academy. Dale made many friends through his unfailing wit and warm personality. In addition to demonstrating an excellent athletic ability, his aggressiveness and sense of fair play on the company basketball team made him an example to all. It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed and those that sought his advice were always well received and left with confidence. His immediate plans upon graduation include marriage to a real swell hometown school teacher. Together they will proceed to Pensacola where Dale would like to replace that left-behind hoe handle for a stick in an A-7. 445 SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-FOURTH COMPANY PHILLIP GEOFFREY HOUGH Huffer joined the Cream of the crop at Navy after two years of college at both Alma and Lake Michigan Colleges.

WILLIAM BRUCE HOWE Coming to Canoe U. straight from high school in the teeming metropolis of Hcbbronville, Texas, Bruce had to make a big adjustment, not only to plebe year, but also to the academic program. After a slow start, he finally got up a full head of steam and made it all the way to Dean's List. Living in South Texas, it was only natural for him to join the Spanish Club in order to maintain a working knowledge of the Ian-guage. After fighting a losing battle with the Steam Department for two years. Hanh switched to the Bull Department for a Foreign Affairs minor. With the switch, he also joined the Foreign Affairs Club so he could keep abreast with the changing world of foreign politics. For pleasure, he thinks there is nothing better than lying down to rest his eyes, and listening to country music. Although still undecided as to what he wants to do upon graduation, whatever he does, he will be an asset to the Navy team. JOHN GARDNER HUTCHINS John was lucky enough to have his home within walking distance of the Naval Academy. Hence, he is known as the Native , a name he grew to love.

Todd's service selection will be Navy Line where his love of the sea. optimistic personality, and familiarity with the Navy and her traditions will stand him in good stead. 446 MARK ERNST JACOBSON It' a long way from Minneapolis to Annapolis. but Mark made the transition easily, once he thawed out. Although well known to hometown sports fans for the athletic prowess that earned him honors in football, wrestling, swimming, and baseball. Jake forsook athletics at Navy to concentrate on his studies. He mastered his academics, to the envy and gratitude of those who weren't quite as diligent or persevering. Semester's end always found him leaving those stars on for another round. Nevertheless. Jake still found time to display his abilities on the intramural fields, much to the undoing of his opponents, who soon learned that nobody wanted to win more than he did. When Mark leaves for Pensacola, he will be remembered by those fortunate enough to know him for his sense of humor, his desire to succeed, and his unselfishness in helping others. These qualities will carry him far. ROGER ANTHONY LAMMERS One of the most congenial and likeable individuals you could ever hope to meet. Roger had no trouble adjusting to the monotonous and rigorous life of a midshipman. His easy going and inoffensive nature made getting along with his associates an extremely simple task. But his mild manner in the Hall was deceiving, for his athletic performances over the past four years were anything but mild. After an impressive high school athletic career, which Roger capped with his selection as a High School All-American football, he joined the Navy Varsity for three first team years. Not one to be easily satisfied. Roger also lettered three years for Navy's perennial Championship Lacrosse team, although having never handled a Lacrosse stick before entering the Academy. Roger never fell into the proverbial football player mold; i.e., si2e 16 boot and was second set Company Commander. Dover. Ohio, has a right to be proud of Roger Lammers. We wish him well and hope success is his in the future. SAMUEL LAMBIE NEWTON Hailing from Farrell. Pa. where he was an outstanding athlete and student.

His warm and sincere personality and quiet manner have won him countless friends and insure his success in the future, hopefully as a nuclear powered qualified officer. JOE ALLEN SLATTERY Joe, or Slats as most of his friends call him hails from Portsmouth, Ohio and has the honor of being one of the very few graduates of Portsmouth High School to be accepted to a service academy and graduate. Slats enthusiasm and fighting spirit followed him throughout his years at Navy as is evidenced by his participation in such intramural sports as football, soccer, track and gymnastics. As a firstie Joe was one of two midshipman to be elected to head two organizations at one time— Captain of the cheerleaders and producer of the Masqueraders Drama Club. Joe put much time and effort into these activities and as a result both organizations were vastly improved under his leadership.

Liking the small town atmosphere in which he was raised, Dave decided Annapolis would give him the good life he desired. On fall and winter afternoons. Dave could be found mixing it up in Battalion and Brigade boxing where his competitive spirit made him a serious contender. This competitive spirit and ability to take punches were perhaps more needed in getting his minors in Applied Science and Math. Dave managed to win a few rounds from the Academic Departments, making the Superintendent's List which led to a membership in Sigma Pi Sigma. He also managed to find time for the Antiphonal Choir. In his free time, the Feather Merchant enjoyed nothing more than the making of useless tasks. He had an innate ability to find busy work and went about it as if it were his own invention. No matter what Dave's choice of duty is, his ability and dedication will make him a success. WILLIAM MICHAEL TAYLOR William Michael Taylor, Tails, Mick or Bill, came to Navy the hard way. Giving up his surfboard and his Malibu, California beach house, the tall blonde enlisted in the Navy after graduation from Santa Monica High and earned his dolphins as a qualified submariner.

Clay was also a very fine athlete, and did a great job as end on the Company lightweight football team. Studies never give him much of a problem, so he always found time to hit the blue trampoline or to visit his many friends out in town. The Navy will certainly gam a man of superb qualities and an officer whose success and good works will reflect, not only on himself and the academy, but on his service, his God and his Country as well. THOMAS ADAMS TEACH Tom a youngster in more ways than one came to the Academy as a soccer recruit straight from high school in Buffalo. New York. His easy going manner and quick smile soon made him everybody's favorite. As evidenced by his frequent appearance on the Supt's list, the 34th Company Commander had little trouble with academics and one would often find him snuggled asleep among his many toys and stuffed animals. The golden boy’s many other talents were devoted to the soccer team, which he led 3S Captain and class leadership in the capacities of class Vice President and Brigade Honor Board member. Tom's fun-loving nature made him one of the regulars at the weekly functions but his presence was also in demand elsewhere, for his popularity extended to include even Admirals. Tom's natural leadership, devotion to duty, and loyalty to his fellows will make him an admired 3nd esteemed officer in any branch of the service. 449 SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-FOURTH COMPANY TERRY LEE TIPPETT Tipps” hailed from St. Louis, Missouri, which he has crusaded to make members of the 34th company believe is the “Sports Capital of the World.

His study hours and free periods found him diligently working in the phones or the pad. This tedious labor gave Johnny his receding hair line and five straight semesters with a 2.3. He faithfully served his Company as poet laureate, fearless weather forecaster, bee collector, and dwarf keeper. His able handling of these tasks indicates a promising future in Navy Line for at least five years. MICHAEL CALVIN CRABTREE Mike came to the Naval Academy from San Anselmo, California, bringing with him his fine high school record in both academics and athletics. His outstanding performances on the football field as well as his natural academic acumen, made him an excellent nomination for entrance into Canoe U. Plebe year wasn't much of a strain for Crabs, except for the minor irritations every first year man undergoes. Although Mike maintained a 3.4 QPR, it certainly wasn't through his cracking the books. His little black book was the only one that ever showed signs of wear and tear. Through his participation in Company sports, he demonstrated not only his fine athletic ability but also the will to win. Mike's excellent sense of humor and carefree I attitude will be a great asset to him in his career as a Navy pilot. His strong will and humble determination to be the best in whatever he sets out to accomplish will certainly cause his name to be written among those who have distinguished themselves after graduation from the Naval Academy. I 454 HAROLD BRELSFORD DANTONE Forsaking the wide-open spaces of Texas for the shores of the Severn. Hal came to the Academy from Lamar High in Houston. In spite of the demands of Plebe football and lacrosse, he had little trouble with academics. His biggest problem of Freshman year was knocking the extra syllables out of one syllable words. Youngster year Hal was still a two sport man, but his interests became a bit more diversified. On weekends he could frequently be seen in the company of some of the cutest girls in the yard, a habit he never lost. A trip to the hospital at the end of youngster year forced Hal to give up Varsity sports, but his vast experience and his willingness to help others greatly improved the intramural program. First class year gave Hal a problem of unprecedented magnitude - selecting a car, many carefully executed plans have yet to yield results. As for a decision of secondary importance, Hal has decided to go destroyers for a year after graduation and then join the rest of the gang down at Pensacola. In both fields Hal is certain to be a grand success. His dynamic personality and fine leadership will be a welcome addition to the fleet. WILLIAM RANDALL DAVIS Bill came to us from Central High School in Philadelphia. Pa., where he lettered in gymnastics and track. After a year on the plebe gym team and a year of Varsity, he shifted to intramurals where he aided the soccer and football teams. An excellent student, he always had stars, but was never too busy to help out the rest of us with our studies. Bill displayed his talents at the Academy by picking up guitar playing and a few girls, too. His smile and outgoing personality will long be remembered by his classmates, who. along with Bill, have many good times to remember. STEPHEN JOHN FROGGETT Calling San Diego his home. Steve, an outstanding wrestler in high school, brought many talents to the intramural program, both in lightweight football and weightlifting. His stumpy form was more often seen hunched over his water colors than his books, but his paintings arc bested only by those of Andrew Wythe and Winslow Homer. First Class cruise found Steve on Yankee Station qualifying as Officer of the Deck, independent steaming. This alone demonstrates his keen love for Navy Line, and destroyers in particular. Steve, with his keen sense of competition, and wily sense of humor should have no trouble wherever he goes or serves 455 STEVEN MILTON ETTER Steve came to Navy directly from High School in Lockport, III. While in Lockport Steve played football, basketball and track. He was good enough in football to attract the attention of several colleges, including Navy. Steve recognized the fine opportunity and came to Navy. However Steve's football career was short lived and he turned to Marine Engineering where he fell in love with Thermo, Fluids, Nuclear Physics and ship building. Steve kept himself busy in the afternoons playing Co. soccer, Co. heavyweights and slow pitch softball. Steve has narrowed his future to two choices Air or Subs. Whatever his choice Steve will do his best for the Navy and will be a success in whatever follows. SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-FIFTH COMPANY CRAIG ROBERT HECKERT Craig, a sailor at heart, came to the Academy on a Naval Reserve appointment from Tremont, Pa.

Craig enjoys basketball, volleyball, and swimming. A familiar face at the hospital. Craig has earned his H with three stars for valiantly surviving three of the special USNA knee jobs. Always present with a bright smile and sharp wit, Craig has won many good friends here at the Academy and is sure to be a most welcome asset to Navy line and his destroyer. PAUL GUY GALENTINE. Ill An Air Force junior, Paul attended three different high schools, finally graduating from Surrattsville High School in Clinton, Maryland. Never really challenged by the academics here at Navy, he was on the Supt's list every semester. Most of his study time was divided between science fiction novels and medical texts. Temporarily thwarted from pursuing his first love, medicine, Paul achieved a major in Chemistry and during his first class year did a Trident Research project in Medicinal Chemistry. In extracurricular areas Paul's athletic prowess was somewhat overshadowed by his love for the pad, his greatest extracurricular achievement was finding an enjoyable compromise between the social life designed for midshipmen and that which he actually led. Undecided between the Medical Corps or Nuclear Power, Paul will undoubtedly be an outstanding addition to whichever branch of the service he enters. ROBERT JOHN HOUERBACK Hailing from Maryland. Bob was never very far from home. Many a midshipmen would have enjoyed a situation as pleasurable. Many a com pany intramural team fared considerably better due to Bob's adapt participation. Athletics proved to be only one area of Bob's competence. Although he never proved to be a scholar of the highest order, academics proved to be of little challenge. Many a fine morning after graduation was spent in the immediate B.S. program. Although Bob has not decided on the field of endeavor he will follow in the Navy he should handle it skillfully and competently. RAYMOND JOSEPH HOPKINS Hailing from Pennsauken, New Jersey, Ray or R. J. as some of his friends call him, came to Navy directly from high school. Always a good student. Ray has consistently held a spot on the Dean's and Supt's List while working for his major in Electrical Science. He hopes to follow this up with his Masters immediately after graduation. Although he was often kidded about his interest in electronics, which is not the most popular field here at Navy, Ray was instrumental in letting a large portion of the Company through second class Wires . In addition to his activities in the Radio, Photo and Scuba clubs, Ray has been active in Company and Battalion sports, with his favorites being lacrosse and squash. Ray has also had the (kibious distinction of being one of the few midshipmen to have the same ship for both first and third class cruise. 456 LOYD JULIAN KIERNAN. Ill Loyd, a Navy junior, came to the Academy on a Presidential appointment. His easygoing attitude, friendly smile, and thorough knowledge of Naval history helped us all through plebc year. Loyd has already answered the call of the sea by spending eight weeks of summer leave volunteering for Diving School in Key West, Florida- His underwater abilities have led him to the Vice-Presidency of the Scuba Club and toward submarines as a career. Loyd, a native of Key West, is an outside boy and enjoys crew, bowling, and softball. It seems he likes to run and on many days you can sec him puffing around Farragut or chasing his model airplane around the yard. His thinning hair and great sense of humor will pave his future in the Navy. RICHARD CHRISTIAN KJELDSEN Rick came into the quiet, friendly halls of Mother 8 directly from the Pingry School in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where he was an outstanding varsity wrestler. Deciding that plebe year was not for him Rick tried to get away from it all; unfortunately he got on the wrong boat and only succeeded in joining the Shields Sailing team. After such a harrowing experience he decided that dry land was where he belonged and became a standout on several Company teams. Softball was actually where he finally learned to stand on his own two legs. Never one to strain his brain unnecessarily. Rick managed to squeeze academics into a limited time between parties where his friendly smile and ready wit were always present. A fly guy all the way, he hopes to fly A-4's after graduation. His inherent professionalism and perseverance will certainly stand him in good stead during his naval career. JEFFREY ARNO MARLIN Born on Wighby Island. Jeff now considers New England his home. A NAPS’tcr. he spent a year in the Navy before arriving at USNA. His accomplishments included Plebe and JV soccer later developing into an outstanding Company soccer coach.

First Class cruise saw Jeff dodging Viet Cong artillery shells off Viet Nam. A converted Marine he intends to take his place in the Navy Line as a destroyerman. CHARLES MARSDEN LOHMAN An Air Force Junior. Chuck spent his early days moving around from Brazil to Alabama to the Azores and South Carolina. Under these circumstances he had a hard time calling one place home. Luckily, the second tour in Alabama lasted long enough for him to complete all four years of high school. His family returned to Brazil for his first three years at the Academy. Chuck was always interested in all types of sports. The phrase Jack of all trades, master at none comes to mind. Seriously, at USNA, hi$ favorite sports were lightweight football and swimming. While on vacation, he enjoyed water and snow skiing. His secret desire was to double as a Naval officer and Gran Pix driver. Chuck was a quiet person, but he went out of his way to make friends with everyone. After the Plebe Oetail a few fourth classmen might have wanted to contest this point. His patience in listening to other people's problems and giving helpful advice earned him the title of Uncle Chuck. At the moment, UOT heads the list of 457 SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-FIFTH COMPANY GERALD PATRICK MOTL Gerry came to the Academy from Wauwatosa. Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. Since Milwaukee is the Beer Capital of the U.S., Ger developed a natural affinity for that refreshing beverage. However, he managed to abstain for a few months of the year during which time he worked very hard with the Big Blue team behind the green fence. Back in the hall Ger could be found studying diligently to maintain his excellent grades or helping someone with their math. The studying paid off for Ger was on the Supt's and Dean's Lists every semester. A Math maior, Gerry is looking forward to the Immediate Masters Program and Nuclear Power. WILLIAM WINTERTON OWENS, IV Bill found the short trip from Arlington. Va., to plebe year to be a big step. Taking the severe hazing in stride. Bill worked feverishly on academics. made one of the Supt's Lists, and even got a letter from the Admiral himself. Being afraid that his continued academic trend would lead to personal interviews with the Academy's Academic hierarchy. Ozone (a nickname he acquired because of his lofty ideals) decided that he would rather be on the Supt's other list and get a little extra liberty. With that incentive. Bill developed the habit of working hard during the week so that he could play hard on his long week-ends. He set a record for the number of beautiful girls he dragged around the yard. While making his good grades, he enjoyed the good life and was seen skiing in Vermont and surfing in Ft. Lauderdale. His easygoing, pleasant personality will insure his success as a Navy bachelor in Pensacola. NELSON ROBERT PARDA Bob hails from the windy city of Chicago and entered the Naval Academy on a Congressional appointment. Always one for activity, his first love was crew. He'll always remember the day the Plebe team walked off with the National Championship.

Russian, has led Bob to a major in that field, and some hard study in Europe to improve his ability. A tall guy with a warm smile and friendly personality. Bob has a way with the girls. His many loves have become a source of kidding at the Academy. His room is always open to anyone with a problem. As Bob leaves for the surface Navy, we all wish him the best of luck and success in a Naval career.

Brade learned his math in the Seventeenth Company annex, notorious for producing outstanding men. Second class year was a real happening for the redhead. He made the Varsity 150 football team at the cost of a broken nose, and received more than one compliment on his excellent performances at meal formations. During his leave periods he might be found marching patriotically in American Legion pa-ades from Shippensburg to Chambersburg, Pa. First class year gave Brade his finest hour. He continued to occupy his reserved space on the Supt's List, was elected President of the German Club and Vice-President of the combined Foreign Languages Club. With his outstanding record he should have no trouble getting his service selection - Navy Line. 458 HARRY ALFRED SIEMEN. JR.

In athletics. Tom participated in Plebe and J V soccer and made a valiant effort at the rugged 150 lb. football team.

This quarterback, whose passes resembled the flight of a sidewinder missile, saw three more years of Varsity action on the gridiron. Kcndell's natural leadership ability was a tremendous asset during his four years, and his respected opinion was frequently sought. Academics were never a problem for Kendell. and he lived up to his firsties' prediction the first day of plebe year, though you may not turn out to be the most squared away middie. you'll be one of the coolest . 465 SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-SIXTH COMPANY CHARLES ALBERT PELLETIER Chuck hails from New Bedford, Massachusetts, and entered the Academy after graduating from New 8edford High School.

Accumulating a very enviable QPR which undoubtedly placed him in the top 100 of his class, he was constantly rendering academic assistance to his classmates. A staunch advocate against overloading, he took as few courses as possible, and even dropped his only overload in his entire academic career after three weeks - why be burdened with extra courses? . Company sports were Chuck's forte as he played practically every Company sport at one time. Taking an active part in plcbc indoctrination. he was a capable Platoon Commander and leader of the PMW crew. Although often kidded about his Portuguese background and his protuberant nose, his sole nickname, Combat , was coined and known only by one person the Red Baron .

DENNIS ALBERT RIZZARDI Denny came to the Academy from Iron River, Michigan. An outstanding athlete. Rizz was a star in any sport he tried during his four years on the Chesapeake. His ability made Denny a natural leader on the playing field, but he refused to settle at that.

He was also a leader when it came to sleeping, and his eating capacity was a point of honor. Television also managed to keep Denny away from the books, especially during sports telecasts. The Green Bay Packers, the Michigan State football team and Cassius Clay each held a special place in his life as a mid. Confidence in his ability, coupled with a rich vein of humor assure Denny of making the Big Time in whatever he attempts in life. ROBERT WILLIAM SI DNER. JR. Coming from a year at Villanova, where he marched on the NROTC Drill team, Rob had a head start on plebe year.

A track and field man at heart, Rob also found talents on the soccer field, however, an unfortunate accident youngster year impeded him from furthering his fame in these sports. He has since found his place, though on the intramural gridiron, and the ski slope. His fram-job from a Mickey Mouse to a Donald Duck late in second class year streamlined Rob for first class cruise and helped him out considerably in the battle of the sexes. A Navy Air enthusiast, Rob intends to drive his Corvette to Pensacola where he will learn to drive his F—4. Congenial and affable. Rob's room is a haven for those who are in search of professional knowhow, or just want to talk. We all expect Rob to be a real asset to the crews who wear the wings of gold.

DAVID WILLIAM WALLACE Oavc came directly to Annapolis out of high school, but participation m Naval Reserve hi$ senior year gave him a good background for the amount of marching he has done in his four years at the Academy. He has excelled in athletics, winning his Varsity N for all three sports seasons in cross-country, indoor and outdoor track. The combination of sports and a love for the easy life has constantly kept Dave away from the books, though his academic standing is one anyone would be proud to own. He has a knack for coming up with a wide variety of dates whenever the situation demands, and this plus the close proximity of his home in Washington. D. C. makes him a popular classmate to those who have depended upon him for the supplement of entertainment on various occasions. The personal organization of a close knit, dedicated club, consisting of a small group of classmates, has proven his leadership ability and without a doubt he is going to prove the statement that the man who plac.-s the cap on Herndon shall become the first Admiral in his class. JACK ROBERT SMITH Kong a nickname inspired by Jack's special brand of effervescence came to the Naval Academy straight from Haddonfield High in New Jersey. At the Academy Jack distinguished himself in academics and athletics as well. A Bull major. Jack was the first midshipman to validate some of the more difficult Bull courses without having taken them in college. In athletics Jack was one of the outstanding members of the Brigade boxing team. Killer Kong smashed many opponents into mere shells of humanity. Jack also participated in battalion wrestling, where the Gorilla Grappler also distinguished himself. Upon graduation Jack plans to earn his wings at Pensacola and go on to a career in Naval Aviation. GARY ALAN STORM Gary came to the academy from an Air Force family of four. Although his real home is in California, he has come home on leaves to three different homes in his four years here. Few midshipman travel as far as Alaska to meet their families. Cheerful and quick in wit are two characteristics which have made Gary a friend of everyone in the company. He enjoys working with people. Academically he leans towards Foreign Affairs and History while in sports he pushes the company soccer and football teams. Coming from the Air Force, Gary hopes to fly upon graduation. 467 SIXTH BATTALION THIRTY-SIXTH COMPANY EDWARD HOLLIS WEBSTER. Ill Ed came to the Academy directly from high school where he was a regional swimming champion. After a good year on the plebe squad, his varsity career was cut short due to his love for another sport. This was the unfortunate skiing accident during youngster year Christmas Leave which disabled his left arm for over a year. This setback did not keep him from becoming an expert skier, nor from participating in bait water polo. Known as Webs to his classmates, he could always be seen with a young lass on the weekends. Not one to be overly concerned with the books, he still made the grades to occasionally see the Supt's List. Ed seeks the Nuclear Power program after graduation. His wit, desire and amiable personality insure his success in the future years. 1 st CLASSMEN 469 470 CHAIN-OF-COMMAND LYNDON B. JOHNSON President 472 CLARK M.

The brigade and 20,000 odd spectators that gathered in the Navy-Marine Corps Stadium were treated to a fast moving game that was not decided until the final two minutes of play. Both teams were evenly matched. Navy amassed nearly 300 yards offense in the first half and captured a 10—3 lead before heading to the locker room, but the Lions dominated third quarter action. Quarterback John Cartwright was knocked dizzy early in the game, but returned in the fourth quarter to revive Navy's scoring punch. His skillfully engineered running and passing plays provided a thrilling triumph. A series of sideline passes to Rob Taylor and a long one down the middle to Mike Clark set up Navy's strike for paydirt. Cartwright lofted the pigskin to the waiting arms of Taylor in the Lion's end zone with but 1 minute 45 seconds remaining on the clock. The defense held and Navy had earned a spectacular, hard-fought victory. The game provided hints of future season action Navy fans could expect in the season. Taylor set a new academy record as he caught 10 passes for a total of 140 yards. Cartwright showed the proficiency with which he could command the Big Blue's offense. Defensive efforts by Ray Decario, Emerson Carr, and Captain Bill Dow deserved mcuh credit. Coach Bill Elias and his staff molded a determined Big Blue team to open his third season at Navy. NAVY 7-RICE 21 Rice University had an explanation for its victory at Dallas. Double-team Taylor proved to be a winning formula. Without his favorite receiver, Cartwright was unable to muster a passing attack. Although netting 240 yards rushing, a sustained scoring drive could not be maintained without a passing game. The Owl's capitalized on weaknesses in Navy's pass defense. The combination of Robert Hailey and Dickie Phillips gave Rice its winning touchdown on a 33-yard score. Jeri Balsly battered across Rice's goal line on a short run for Navy's loan score and the talented toe of John Church booted the extra point. 514 NAVY 26—MICHIGAN 21 Journeying to Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Big Blue met the inspired Wolverines and in a game reminiscent of their victory over Penn State two weeks earlier, the Tars battled to a win in the last five minutes of game time. Terry Murray emerged as one of the game's heroes. Recovering from a preseason injury, Terry galloped 25 yards to provide a 26-21 upset victory with less than five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Michigan's Ron Johnson gained an incredible 270 yards rushing and forced a Navy comeback three times. Running combinations by Cartwright, Balsly, Murray, and Tom Daley and two Cartwright-to-Taylor passes set up Murray's run with 4:37 to play. Michigan was threatening with 90 seconds left, but a fine defensive effort by Rick Bayer foiled their attempt to score. Bayer stole a loose fumble and promptly silenced the cheers of 72,000 spectators. Chip Estey provided a last minute interception to put the game on ice. Balsly and Taylor scored Navy's two other touchdowns and John Church expertly lofted two field goals and extra points to gain the winning margin. 516 517 navy 27—SYRACUSE 14 The opening minutes of first quarter play against the Orangemen of Syracuse showed that quickness could more than make up for size. Syracuse, formerly the best defensive team in the nation, was crushed by an offense that amassed a total of 310 yards. The Cartwright-Taylor duo set the stage for a 52 yard pass play to Terry Murray. Outdistancing his defender, Murray raced into the end zone. The next time Navy had the ball, Cartwright directed a 44 yard drive capped by Jeri Balsly's 12 yard run past the end to a touchdown. John Church booted two 42 yard field goals to run his season string to 5 of 6 attempts. His extra point efforts placed him 8 for 8 attempts. Ball control see sawed in the second half. But a beautiful 52 yard punt return by Murray set up a 15 yard score by youngster Dan Pike. Pike was Navy's leading rusher, gaining 31 yards in 4 carries. Syracuse abandoned its traditional plowing offense after Navy's fast lead, but an effective Navy defense stymied the Orangemens' offensive game. Csonka, later selected to the All-American team, recorded a dismal showing of 31 yards in 10 tries. Determination was evident in the Big Blue's efforts against Syracuse, as they blasted their way to number one in the East. a 518 519 NAVY 16-WILLIAM MARY 27 Before an almost capacity crowd in the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium the Indians from William and Mary stunned the Big Blue by scoring four touchdowns in the last 16 minutes to erase a 16 point lead and go on to win 27-16. Navy had scored a two point safety on the opening kickoff. Two more touchdowns and extra points gave the midshipmen a 16—0 margin by the end of the third quarter. Several times the Indians had almost come to life before the defense forced them to give up the ball on downs. William and Mary's combination of Dan Darragh to Jim Cavanaugh broke the game wide open. It was the same two that helped the Indians upset Ohio University the previous week. Few Navy fans probably realized that Rob Taylor tied the mark for most passes caught in a single game. His ten receptions equaled the record he made in the Penn State opener. 520 521 NAVY 22- PITTSBURGH 21 A fired up Pittsburgh eleven scored twice in the first quarter to go ahead 14-0 at Pittsburgh, Penn. A Navy drive stalled when Rob Taylor made a rare fumble of a John Cartwright pass. Navy was unable to muster an attack in the first half, but a different team returned to the field in the third quarter. Cartwright directed a 62 yard touchdown drive highlighted by passes to Mike Clark and Terry Murray. Behind the running of Dan Pike, the Big Blue put themselves again on the scoreboard with a 12 yard Cartwright to Clark pass. George Mather's key interception of a panther pass set up the next Navy score. Cartwright masterfully conducted another drive with long passes to Murray and then scampered the last five yards around left end to score. John Church made the pat. An aggressive Navy defense returned the ball to Navy on their 28. Cartwright again marched the Big Blue downfield until the Panther defense stiffened. Coach Elias called on the talents of John Church and was rewarded with a beautiful 32 yard field goal that won the game. For his efforts in the Pittsburgh game, John Cartwright was selected as API's College back of the week. 522 523 Notre Dame's 10th ranked Irish pounded an error-prone Navy eleven for four touchdowns in the second quarter to gain a 43-14 victory in a game played in a baby blizzard at South Bend, Indiana. Cartwright managed several long drives against a tough l y yy 24_______NOTRE DAME 43 Irish defense' but the middies helped scuttle themselves 524 with two face-mask grabbing penalties, a short punt, and an intercepted pass in the second period. The midshipman offensive squad scored its first touchdown against Notre Dame since the 1963 Navy victory when John Cartwright capped a 51 yard drive with a one yard plunge in the third quarter. Cartwright dug out of the snow in the fourth quarter to score again on a 58 yard drive. In the final analysis, the powerful running of Notre Dame's Rocky Bleier, the combination of Hanratti-Seymour, and an alert, rugged defense spelled defeat for the Big Blue. 525 NAVY 16-DUKE 35 Navy's football hopes suffered a severe setback at the hands of the Duke Blue Devils in a game played at the Oyster Bowl on Veteran's Day. Before 30,000 partisan fans, the Navy Blue opened to a precarious 3—0 lead on a 43-yard field goal by John Church. The second quarter found the Devils bouncing back to score the first of their five touchdowns. Navy spirit was partially revived as the offense came in to score on a nine-yard pass play on a fourth down-goal-to-go situation. The play was a John Cartwright—Rob Taylor combination, which had clicked successfully all season. The third quarter was to be a nightmare. Duke capitalized on every Navy miscue. Coach Elias relieved John and substitute quarterback Clint Hardin put some pep into the team, as his bullet passes inspired a drive that was climaxed by a touchdown pass to Tom Daley. The fifteen minute 3rd period spelled the difference between defeat and victory. It was a matter of a bad day for Navy. 526 NAVY 35—VANDERBILT 35 528 Quarterback John Cartwright completed the best individual performance on the gridiron in Navy's history, but a missed extra point kick with 44 seconds lest in the game forced the Middies to settle for a frustrating 35-35 tie. Cartwright completed 16 of 29 passes for 235 yards and ran 17 times for 123 more. His total output of 358 yards broke the Academy record of 308 that Roger Staubach established against Duke in 1964. Cartwright also tied another Academy mark by running for one touchdown and passing for three more. In all, nine singlegame and singleseason records were broken or tied by the two teams. By the second half all of Navy's backs were rambling through large holes opened up in the Commodore's defensive line. Vanderbilt's attack centered around Bob Goodridge, who shattered a Vanderbilt record with 15 catches for 201 yards. Rob Taylor scored twice and Clark once on passes while Cartwright and Balsly each scored on runs. John Church kicked three PATs despite an unusually strong wind, but a 25 plus knot wind blew his final attempt wide. Taylor established a new Academy record with his 10 receptions for 179 yards. The inspiring performance of the Cartwright— Taylor duo was an indication of the action the Brigade could expect the following week in the Army-Navy classic. 529 The Big Blue stunned the Kaydets 19 14 after three years of frustration in the Nation's Annual Classic in Philadelphia. Navy won the toss and promptly marched 59 yards before the Army defense stiffened. John Church was called in to kick in a 29 yard field goal. Navy Captain Bill Dow and his teammates kept a tremendous rush on Army's Lindell, causing him to throw a high pass that defensive back Shelly Buttrill picked off. Navy moved the remaining 45 yards and Dan Pike took it over from the one. Novy 19 Army 14 The Big Blue had a 10-0 edge when John Church kicked the extra point. 530 John Cartwright called a superb game, mixing up plays like a magician. Employing a straight I formation Navy was opening huge holes in the Army's interior line. Halftime found the score 17-0 as Jeri Balsly and John Church figured in the scoring. Navy continued its mastery of the game in the third quarter. The Navy defense came in on the closing moments of the 3rd period and forced Army to punt. In a fitting climax to an outstanding season of leadership both on and off the field. Captain Bill Dow came roaring in to put the stops on punter Nick Kurilko in the end zone for two more points. 531 Army posed a threat in the fourth quarter as Army's coach Tom Cahill sent in his second string to replace the listless eleven on the field. Army scored twice in two minutes and provided a thrilling climax to another otherwise overwhelmingly one sided game. Forced to give up the ball, a short Navy kick put Army on Navy's 26. The stadium was a madhouse. Would the Navy defense hold? The answer was a bone-shattering tackle by Jim Brown that caused Army fullback Chuck Jarvis to fumble. Stand-out line backer, Ray Decario, recovered the ball with 4:34 showing on the clock. John Cartwright reentered the contest and immediately dispelled any doubts as to the outcome of the game. John marched the Big Blue to Army's 21 yard line. With four seconds left, the goal posts were already down. The final score: NAVY 19 - ARMY 14. HOW SWEET IT IS! 532 Quarterback John Cartwright and split end Rob Taylor concluded their Academy careers as the finest passer and pass receiver in Navy gridiron history. Both rewrote the record book. Cartwright was voted API's college back of the week a second time. He was the only college player to be so honored this season. Rob Taylor won a berth in the annual East-West classic. The Brigade will long remember their efforts and the efforts of their teammates on that eventful day in Philly. Both the Big Blue and the Brigade wanted Army. Baby, We had soul! 533 CROSS COUNTRY Captain: JAMES DARE By J. A. DARE The '67 Cross-Country team was unique among recent teams in that first classmen dominated the scoring. Led by the 5 Horsemen — firsties Jim Dare, Chip Foulsham, Paul Gaffney, Ron Knode, and Dave Wallace — the harriers amassed an early season record four victories, two losses, to perennially strong Maryland and Penn State, and an unusual tie with New York University. In the latter part of the season, the Thinclads placed a rather disappointing second to Harvard in the Heptagonal Championships. Ten days later they came back strongly in the IC4A Championships, finishing third of thirty-three teams, the best showing of any Navy team in that meet. The highlight of the season, however, was the 4-way tie for first place by Dare, Foulsham, Knode, and Wallace in the 19-35 victory over Army. Captain-elect Steve Harvey and Rich Martin rounded out the scoring in that meet. Guided by Coach Jim Gherdes and bolstered by a promising plebe squad, Harvey and Martin will return to carry on the winning tradition. 534 CROSS COUNTRY (low score wins) Won 5, Lost 2, Tied 1 Navy 21 West Virginia 38 Navy 26 William Mary 29 Navy 22 St. John's 35 Navy 28 N.Y.U. 28 Navy 38 Penn.

I Captain: RICH BAUM By BOB BERGER '70 Under the superb coaching of Jack Cloud the 150 pounders compiled a perfect 6—0 record and regained its title as Eastern Intercollegiate Champions. The success of the season was mainly due to the tough defense led by 2 time All-American Linebacker Ray Baum. With the help of safety Al Pitman and tackle Dave Lilly, the other defensive All-Americans, the defensive line came within one touchdown of setting an all time Navy team record for the least points scored against it in a season. This year's team was almost as strong on offensive and placed guard Dick Virtue, end John Sinclair, and center and next year's Captain Ron Mosely on the All American list. The highlight of the season was the 3—0 victory over Army. In this game, the Navy defense held Army scoreless four times within its own 20 yard line. 538 150 lb.

The team had lost several starters off the '66 team that lost in the NCAA Quarterfinals (lowest in four years) and had many inexperienced players. By the end of this rebuilding season. Coach Warner had done it again, by guiding the team to within one goal of a national championship. The team was less than impressive extending Coach Warner's stress of regular season games without a loss to fifty, before exploding for a Navy record seventeen goals against Gettysburg. Navy's dream of another undefeated regular season was then shattered by Pennsylvania 2—1. It seemed as though Navy's tenure as a major soccer power was ending. The loss had a tremendous effect on the team. They decided they didn't like losing, and won the next seven games, including a 2—1 overtime win over Maryland, and a first round NCAA tournament win over West Chester. Navy then faced arch rival Army. The Black Knight's season was over. Navy was still in the tournament. The two previous regular season games had ended in ties, 2—2 and 1 — 1. This game, a typically hard fought Army-Navy contest seemed to have the same fate, as a see saw regulation time ended with the score 3-3. Senior Al Vaslauskas scored the biggest goal of his career with but twenty-four seconds remaining, and the Navy soccer team had a star. They continued their winning ways with a victory over Buffalo State before traveling to St. Louis to meet St. Louis in the NCAA Semifinals. On a dark, rainy day and muddy field, the midshipmen lost 1-0 with but forty seconds remaining in the game. St. Louis went on to be co-national champs as the final game was called off because of poor conditions (same field Navy lost on). The attack was led by Al Vasilauskas and Junior Glen Reid. Vasilauskas had 37 assists, high for the country and Reid led all scorers with 12. Post season honors were headed by the selection of Captain Tom Teach to the first team All-American team, and the placing of Teach, Vasilauskas, Bartlett, and Bahr on the All South team. 543 546 547 Captain: GARY BURGER WRESTLING After much hard work and effort on everybody's part. Navy had its first undefeated season in many years. Strengthened by many seasoned wrestlers and sustained by the many new ones, this year's team showed everybody what Navy could do. Starting the year out with a blast of victories. Navy topped its first five opponents with rather onesided decisions. Not letting themselves become overconfident with these fast victories, the Navy men continued to work hard with victories over Lehigh, the only team to beat them in their last season, Maryland, Penn State and finally the Black Knights of West Point. For the Navy grapplers, however, the season is never over until after competition in the Easterns and Nationals. Proving to everyone who was still in doubt that Navy's season was not just a series of lucky breaks, they came home from the Easterns with a smashing victory boasting champions in Burger, Vanderlofske, and Kane, with Kent taking a second, Stahl, Comiskey, Christianson, and Welch taking thirds, and Ahrens taking fourth place. Finally, in the Nationals Navy plowed its way to a fifth place led by its two All Americans, Kent and Vanderlofske. 548 WRESTLING Won 9, Lost 0 Navy 33 Springfield 6 Navy 23 Cornell 13 Navy 30 Syracuse 9 Navy 33 Pittsburgh 2 Navy 25 Virginia Tech. 8 Navy 21 Lehigh 13 Navy 26 Maryland 8 Navy 17 Penn.

The team got off to a rough start as they found the beginning of the season difficult, winning only four of the first twelve games. Much of the problem was due to trouble on the boards, the tallest starter being only 6'3 . With half of the season behind them, and the toughest part of the schedule staring them in the face, the team settled down and was victorious in five out of the remaining eight contests. John Tolmie finished the season with a 23 ppg average and a bundle of brilliant performances. Scott Semko and Chet Carroll provided a welcome scoring punch over the last half of the season as Bill Parks, Dave Spooner, and Bill Dow took turns filling the rebounder role. Hank Schmidt directed the attack with Butch Blais providing the backup. Hustle was never a lacking factor on this team and a continuation of this attitude will undoubtedly give Coach Smalley more than enough to work with next year. 556 BASKETBALL Won 9, Lost 11 Navy 69 Pennsylvania 87 Navy 88 Air Force 98 Navy 59 American U. 63 Navy 72 Maryland 76 Navy 79 Harvard 78 Navy 68 Seton Hall 58 Navy 59 Princeton 76 Navy 85 Gettysburg 59 Navy 68 DePauw 48 Navy 80 Virginia 96 Navy 86 George Washington 59 Navy 89 Georgetown 85 Navy 82 Rochester 85 Navy 65 Penn.

State; and losing to its old rivals Army and Maryland. Though these losses marred an otherwise successful season, key individuals compiled 19 record of outstanding performances throughout the schedule. Consistent point winners included Steve Potts and Doug Backes in the 35 lb. weight. Bill McCauley in the High Jump, Tom Palkie and Bob Atwell in the Broad Jump, Conway Hunt and BobToIhurst in the Pole Vault, Karl Mahumed in the Shot Put, and Eric Horvci and Tom Hicken-botham in the 60 yard High Hurdles. Jeri Balsly and Roland Laurenzo filled in the 60 following the loss of Bob Donohue early in the season. Navy was strong in the Middle Distances with Jack Cosgrove, Jim Kiffer, and Phil Katauskas in the 600; and Ron Knode, Gordon Peterson, Monty Felix in the 1000. Jack Cosgrove set a new Navy Record in the Army meet running a 1:11.2 in the 600. Jim Dare was the standout in the Longer Distances, winning seven first places during the season. Aiding Jim in these gruelling events were Dave Wallace, Paul Gaffney, and Steve Hanvey. The Relays, which are among the most exciting parts of a track meet, were a strong point on the Navy team. This was shown at the VMI Relays where Navy made a very impressive showing. The high spirit and desire of the team can be attributed to the excellent coaching of Jim Gehrdes and Asst. Coach Al Cantello. Jim Gehrdes, former Penn State Hurdle Star, has compiled a total of wins losses over his years of coaching the indoor squad. 562 INDOOR TRACK Won 4, Lost 2 Navy 64 Manhattan 45 Navy 64 St. John's 45 Navy 55 N.Y.U. 50 Fordham 31 Navy 61 Penn.

Air Force Academy 160.60 Navy 173.50 U. S. Military Academy 174.90 S66 By CRAIG E.STEIDLE The 1967-68 gymnastics season was the most successful in six years, as the team rolled up a 5-4 record and gained third place in the East by capturing third place in the Eastern Collegiate Championship held here at Navy. As a whole, however, the season was marred by several close losses. The squad was loaded with young talent with only Mike Slattery on the rings, Wayne Errickson on the side horse, and team captain Craig Steidle on the horizontal bar winning letters for the first class. George Harris, another strong ring man, will also be greatly missed after graduation. Led by Jay Long, who took first place in the Easterns with a 9.58 score on the side horse, nine of the twelve competing men on the team cracked the 9.0 club during the season (A score of 9.0 out of a possible 10.0 is worthy of international recognition). Jay managed the feat eight times, as did Steve Klotz and Bob Mackey. Craig Steidle turned the trick five times himself. Steve Klotz led in first place finishes with eleven, and was well assisted by Jerry Gallagher, Jay Long, and Bob Mackey with eight victories each, and Craig Steidle with five. Pete Haring, Terry Wanner, Willie Bramlett, Pat Slattery, and Mike Milchanowski, all letter winners, scored well consistently. The team had spirit as well as talent, as was demonstrated in a victory over a highly favored Massachusetts team in cold and windy Hicks Cage in Amherst. Led by zookeeper Klotz, Roadmap Errickson, and Crash Steidle, the team claimed several upset victories off the floor as well. Although the season ended on a sour note when we lost to Army by less than two points for the third straight season, 174.9—173.5, revenge was gained in the Easterns when we defeated Army by six points to clinch third in the East and eighth place spot in the nation. 567 568 569 SWIMMING SWIMMING Won 5, Lost 7 Navy 47 Harvard 66 Navy 81 Columbia 23 Navy 37 Yale 76 Navy 67 Colgate 37 Navy 45 Dartmouth 68 Navy 66 Villanova 38 Navy 64 Cornell 31 Navy 49 North Carolina 64 Navy 55 Maryland 58 Navy 102 Penn.

By JOHN KANE The team started the season poorly by losing 4 out of its first 5 meets. However, the Navy team shocked the nation with its brilliant performances (5 records) in a 58 - 55 loss to Maryland. The team was then a unit and performed spectacularly thereafter. On February 24 thousands stood as they watched the Navy, while down 21 points after 6 events, come back to tie up the Army meet at 44 all with 3 events remaining. The most outstanding display of spirit and talent (6 new records) ever by the Academy swim team culminated in the slimmest and most disappointing 58 — 55 loss to a fine Army team. The graduation of Bob Nelson, Guy Eastman, and John Kane, all record holders in their specialties, will affect the team but 14 returning lettermen and the influx of an outstanding plebe team will surely produce an even stronger squad next year. Top performers all year were Bill Porier, Bob Rachor, Mike Swanson, Hugh Batten, Ron Reedy, Ron Sedgley, and John Stockdale. Extremely talented newcomers to the team were Stu Powrie, Frank Gunkelman, Cap Parlier, John Gilchrist, Bill Kemp, and John Herringer. This undoubtedly was a team with more spirit and determination than any before it.

As a result, few expected Navy to win many matches. In spite of this, a record of 9-3 was achieved with losses only to powerful teams from Harvard and Penn and a heartbreaking 5-4 loss to Army. Phill Fossum compiled the best record with eleven wins against one defeat, while Bobby Cowin, playing in the always tough number one man position, won nine matches while losing but three. Other consistent winners were Captain Dave Beard, Reid Hollyfield, Mike Minter and Mike Rishell. 574 VARSITY SQUASH Won 9, Lost 2 Navy 0 Harvard 9 Navy 9 Franklin Marshall 0 Navy 9 Fordham 0 Navy 9 M.l.T. 0 Navy 3 Pennsylvania 6 Navy 5 Amherst 4 Navy 7 Williams 2 Navy 5 Princeton 4 Navy 9 Wesleyan 0 Navy 8 Trinity 1 Navy 4 Army 5 575 576 577 RIFLE By JOHN HUNTER This year the Reigning Triple National Championships Rifle Team undertook a difficult season with only half of its number one team returning-the rest was built on seasoned second classmen and promising youngsters. Coach Ed Trott, Leor Trammell and Captain John Hunter helped the team start the season against C.C.N.Y., against whom Navy set a new team record of 1398. The individual record was later tied by Tom Wilkes in a match against the Citadel. As a whole, Navy posted eight wins to one loss. In national competition. Navy is expected to have taken the Eastern Championship and possibly the national title in conventional type shooting, and second place in international type shooting, however the determination has not yet been announced. In sectional team competition. Navy captured first and second place in the conventional, and just through fourth place in the international type. In individual competition Navy took first through fourth place in conventionals with Mike Harter, Bob Ballew, Tom Wilkes and Ralph Burnette. Placing the scores; and in the international type Navy took second through sixth place with Bill Stockho leading Mike Harter, Gary Marvin, John Hunter, and Tom Wilkes. With nine varsity and two outstanding plebes returning next year, Captain Frank Stenstrom should post an outstanding record in the season to come. RIFLE Won 8, Lost 1 Navy 1398. City College of N.

JONES By STEPHEN JONES Having inherited a squad made up almost entirely of underclassmen, as well as a tough act to follow from the '66-'67 National Intercollegiate Championship team, this year's season was somewhat less than spectacular. Although the final tally was 5 won to 4 lost, the team generally considered the season unsuccessful. Next season is the one to watch, however, as a potentially strong ten man squad steps up to the varsity firing line. Coach Art Sievers will be relying on team depth and the fruition of a four year training cycle that he has instituted at the academy to bring home the victories. Big guns for next year's team will probably be Mike Malone, Tom Noonan, Nat Pace, Hugh O'Neill, Todd Creekman, Carl Smith, and Jack Richardson, with Bob Mayes coming on strong from the plebe squad. 580 PISTOL Won 2, Lost 5 Navy 5318 Naval Ordnance Navy 2201 M. 1.

The two losses came at the hands of last year's and this year's national champions N.Y.U. and Columbia. A mere three touches decided these meets. Beset by injuries and the loss of the number one Foil Fencer, the team rallied for the final two meets and took 3rd at the Easterns. Jim Davidson 2 c went on to take 3rd in the Nationals in Epee and become a first team All American. Bert Freeman 3 c taking over the number one spot in Foil at midseason showed great drive and determination to lead the Foil team to a 2nd place finish in the Easterns. Captain Jack Holly led the way in Sabre with fifteen victories. Davidson, Freeman and Holly as well as Marv and Dale Crisp 2 c, Bob Phillips 2 c, Marc Palez 1 c and Bill Center 1 c have all qualified for the Olympic Trials. Next year's team with the loss of only three 1 c and the addition of an undefeated plebe team should be in strong contention for the national crown. 582 Navy Navy Navy Navy Navy Navy Navy Navy VARSITY FENCING Won 6, Lost 2 17 Cornell 10 16 Pennsylvania 11 14 City College of N.Y. 13 13 Columbia 14 12 New York U. 15 25 Penn.

All midshipmen learn the fundamentals of boxing, so many of the brigade's boxers get their starts through the boxing curriculum required by the Physical Education department. This year was unique in annals of Navy Boxing. Many first classmen who had previously not lettered were competing for their letterman award. 584 BOXING RESULTS Class Victor Loser 127 lb.

Ogilvie Jr. '68 586 The Lacrosse Team, under the tutelege of Bildy , had a good season, but failed, for the first time in nine consecutive years, to hold or share the National Intercollegiate title. The first loss came at the hands of the Mount Washington Lacrosse Club, the perennial club champs. In one of the best defensive games of the year. Navy fell two short and lost to our big rivals at College Park in a heated contest. In the game with John Hopkins, the Middies outshot, outhit, outran and outdid Hopkins in every area for the first half, but could not seem to put the ball in the goal. In the second half, Hopkins' attack, the finest in the country, began to break through the Navy defense and pulled away for the victory. Fine victories came over Syracuse, Harvard, Princeton, Virginia, University Club, University of Baltimore and Philadelphia Lacrosse Club. In the finale with Army, the two teams met on nearly equal terms. Army shot off to a 5-1 lead in the first half. In the second half, the Middies rallied back to tie the score and send the game into overtime. The first five minute overtime period saw Navy score two goals only to have Army come back with two in the second overtime to make it a tie ball game. Co-captains John McIntosh and Mac Ogilvie, along with Carl Tamulevitch, provided the backbone for the team with first classmen Joe V , Rick Bayer, John Sinclair and Ben Fromme backing them up. 587 588 a ii :il VARSITY LACROSSE - 1968 Navy 12 SCORES Washington L.C. 3 Navy 7 Yale 3 Navy 14 Syracuse 0 Navy 14 Harvard 3 Navy 5 Mt.

With this in mind Coach Joe Duffs sluggers went out and drove home one of their best seasons in years. Army proved to nothing more than a second division ball club and were no competition for Navy Baseball. Many baseball supporters are looking forward to a superior Navy team next year.

Rowley '68 597 598 LIGHT AND HEAVY CREW No sport at Navy has as much difficulty to overcome as does the Naval Academy crew teams. The Oarsmen's greatest enemy has proven to be the Severn River. Very few days have been acceptable and high white caps and rolling swells with the Severns gusty winds have forced many workouts to be held indoors. Only an Oarsmen can understand the necessity of smooth water and no wind. The tragedy of this years season was culminated by April 30th's storm which sunk many shells, forced Oarsmen to swim for shore and destroyed the Lightweight Varsity eight, The Windy River . With the lack of usable, new and acceptable equipment the loss proved to be very painful. The Lightweight Varsity, inspite of its handicaps, improved its position and has become a feared team and major contender for national honors under the able coaching of Mike Greata. Navy heavyweights have occupied their practices with preparations for the Olympic trials; and hope to carry on Navy's long tradition of Olympic Championships. 600 601 602 603 fr09 OUTDOOR TRACK Few sports at the Academy have compiled as enviable a win loss record as has Coach Gehrdes hustlers. Very few sports have won as many championships and duel competitions as has the Track Team. The teams composed principally of '68er's can truly be proved of its high position with respect to our collegiate track teams. This year's Army-Navy meet proved to be very surprising. Navy's strong runners were unable to make up for our weaker field competitors and lost a heart breaker to a good Army team. 606 COACH: Associate Professor James M. Gehrdes CO-CAPTAINS: Philip J.

Unfortunately, due to the location of the golf course midshipmen find it difficult to follow golf as a spectator sport. Only a hardy few will travel to North Severn to watch our able seven scuttle another foe. This year's four to three victory over Army was particularly a cliff-hanger with the final decision depending on the last hole. Captain Harry Buzhardt was particularly honored by his invitation to the National Championships in New Mexico. COACH: Williams CAPTAIN: Harry O.

Leadership from Captain Lance Horne and consistent victories from Bob Cowin and Dave Beard provided the spark for this year's 8-7-1 season. Although losing heart breaking singles matches to Army, Dave Beard and '69 Captain Bob Cowin combined in doubles to crush Army as well as other top flight teams as Pennsylvania, Yale and Harvard. Despite some disappointing losses this season. Navy tennis can count on the outstanding play of Cowin and John Bunker to provide the foundation for still another winning season next year.

Horne '68 612 613 SAILING VARSITY SAILING By TOM DALY After a disappointing fall season, marked by bad breaks and light winds. Navy sailing put together a fine spring season in the dinghies and Shields. Intercollegiate regattas attract a field of ten to fifteen schools, and Navy's lowest finish this spring was a fourth place. First place finishes came in the Spring Invitational, an intersectional regatta which had 15 participants from the New England, Middle Atlantic, Southern, and Midwestern regions, and in the Middle Atlantic Team Racing Championship. The highlight of the season was winning the Service Academy Championship which has eluded Navy for four years. Finishing well behind Navy were Army, Coast Guard, the Merchant Marine Academy and the Royal Canadian Military College. In the Middle Atlantic Monotype Championship Tom Daly placed second, earning him a berth in the Nationals, and Barry Lewis placed fifth out of 27 contestants. Top flight performances were made by letter winners DuBose Joslin, Dan Rugg, Barry Lewis, and Pat Dawson who should provide a national championship team next year. The Shields team with top skipper Dave Palleson was undefeated in their three Spring outings.

Only is a truly superior Code of Honor and Ethics exists among the Officers of the Naval Service, can the United States Navy expect to function as efficiently as is required. The Honor Committee has the very abstract and difficult task of formulating a policy and concept of honor which will imbue the midshipmen with this very necessary characteristic. This year saw the Honor Committee formulating a new Honor policy after a very critical analysis of past doctrines. 627 1968 CLASS RING AND CREST COMMITTEE Starting with 36 members during Plebe Summer, the '68 Ring I Crest Committee met with some sketches and big ideas. These idea and sketches were sent to the companies interested in the rin contract. The resulting designs were voted on by the class. Thu: Class of '68 had its crest, unique among those that came before am those that would come afterwards. The five companies then sent sample rings and crests to be vote on by the committee. The coded ring that best symbolized th quality we desired was chosen and the manufacturer's name wa revealed after the voting. June Week of Plebe Year found many of our drags sporting ou crest close to their hearts. Youngster Year found the class orderin their rings. In the Spring of 1967, 68 hours were logged along witl many Form 2's and push ups. June Week of Second Class Yea featured our Ring Dance and the symbol unites us as one ... Th 1968 Class Ring of the United States Naval Academy. 628 CAR COMMITTEE The 1968 Car Committee provided invaluable service to the First Class this year in every phase of that all important first new car purchase. Most helpful, of course, were the outstanding prices obtained for the Brigade by the committee on most models. In addition, the Car Committee solves many problems concerning insurance and financing, and coordinates assigning of parking spaces within the yard. This year. Chairman John Hydinger was able to have Carroll Shelby come to the academy to present his Cobra . The entire class owes the '68 Car Committee a vote of thanks for their tireless work in our behalf. 629 “N” CLUB Transferring their many varied talents from the field of competition to Academy social life, the N club enjoyed a fine c year as always. Composed of the men of the Brigade who have won the coveted gold N , the club is a service organization as well as a social group. Provided with the strong leadership of Dick Virtue, John Sinclair, and Bill Dow the year was highlighted by dances, dinners, a hayride. and climaxed with the beautiful June Week N . Dance. 630 CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders function as an organization designed to promote the spirit of the Brigade at athletic contests. Primarily this has come to mean football. But the cheerleaders this past year have been seen at soccer, basketball and lacrosse games. The cheerleading squad this year was composed of three first class, Joe Slattery, Gary Fishman and Barry Burrow, and four segundoes. Bob Mociver. Hugh Batten, Oennis Burcal and Howie Kline. This year started out before the Brigade returned with a lecture to the Plebes by Joe Slattery in August about spirit, and the football spontaneous pep rallies. This became the year of soul with the spirit of the Brigade at its highest in the class of 1968's four year history. The overwhelming spirit created this year was very evident at Army time, when even the firsties carried their football team classmates around the mess hall. The addition of a new speaker system, the Brigade's spirit and a lot of hard work by the cheerleaders helped immeasurably in the long awaited crushing of the Kaydets on December 2nd. The cheerleaders have a long history in the promotion of spirit. This year's squad added to that history and has been rewarded with the satisfaction of a job well done. 631 The year of '68 will always be remembered as a great one for the Brigade Activities Committee because of the efforts of the Pep Rally Division. The Brigade looked forward to football rallies almost as much as the actual games. The gallant Pep-Rally Players produced near-Hollywood productions for skits each week. The stadium division's pre-game skits were always fun. Who will forget those knock off Notre Dame , Beat Army , and We Got Soul, Baby emblems which the B.A.C. provided. The 632 culmination of football spirit was displayed by the $2,000 contributed by the Brigade for the full-page Beat Army Ad which the B.A.C. placed in the New York Times. After a highly successful fall sports season, the B.A.C. continued to support Navy athletics with winter smokers . These were always filled with plenty of popular sounds and humor. The June Week Pep Rally was representative of the hard work of the B.A.C. ] '68. CONDOLENCES, THE BRIGADE OF MIDSHIPMEN U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY CANNONEERS The Cannoneers have become an integral part of the fall football season, appearing at all home games and as many away games as possible. Composed of two midshipmen from each class, and dressed in 1890 midshipman style, the Cannoneers celebrate each Big Blue score with a round of black powder fired from a 12 No. Dahlgren boat howitzer better than a century old. Sometimes they even fire when we don't score, as happened in the Vanderbilt game, but being right behind the goal posts, the view wasn't really that good. Firing well and often the past year, the Cannoneers enjoyed their peak at the end of the Army game, firing a triple-charged, double-wadded round in celebration, impressing and deafening a happy crowd. 634 GOAT KEEPERS The Goatkeepers are former varsity football players who for reasons of ineligibility or injury cannot play football in their First Class year. They are elected to the position by members of the varsity football team. Their job is to escort the Navy mascot to all home football games, pep rallies, and the traditional Army-Navy game in Philadelphia. This past year was rather unique. Two goats were present at the games - Bill XVI and King Puck - instead of the usual one. 635 RECEPTION COMMITTEE The United States Naval Academy has been called the second largest attraction in the United States; second only to Disneyland i-in the number of tourists which it hosts each year. The Reception k Committee has the very sizeable task of providing a ready force of, experienced hosts to welcome and escort Dignitaries and visiting 8 Sports squads around the Academy during the academic year. Fortunately, for the guests they receive first hand descriptions and portrayals of the Academy for who knows the Academy better than a midshipman. 636 PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE Under the leadership of its officer representative, Lt. Todd, and Mr. L. Budd Thalman, the Sports Publicity Director at the Naval Academy, the Public Relations Committee has carried on its tradition of being one of the hardest working committees in the Brigade. By following and reporting Navy home sports from the field, the press box, and via the public address system, the P.R.C. has provided and stimulated eager support for Navy teams throughout the 67-68 athletic seasons. 637 JUICE GANG (1967-1968) As in the past years, the Juice Gang got off to an illuminating fast start this year. Appropriate electrical signs to urge the Big Blue on to victory were constructed and displayed at our stadium. The Army Game brought forth a special effort as a sign for the yard and game were both constructed and displayed along with the N-Star sign. The Gang took a sign up to Philadelphia for the Army Game as it did to Norfolk for the Duke Game. The Juice Gang has also been busy lighting the Musical Club shows and making signs for other events, such as Alumni Weekend. They successfully contributed to the Masquerador and Musical Clubs productions this year. Also, they were behind the scenes lighting many of the 1968 June Week activities. Many of this year's crew have been outstanding in their work and time devoted to the Gang. 638 639 1 LUCKY BAG STAFF Every September a group of Youngsters take on the grave responsibility of producing their classes annual in the short space of three years. This was the case when this staff assumed this task, a little less experienced and a lot more frightened than previous staffs. Fortunately, with the cooperation of a very responsive class, our job has been made considerably easier. The staff would like to convey its appreciation and express our hope that the 1968 Lucky Bag will be accepted cheerfully and enjoyably. 640 TRIDENT SOCIETY The Trident Society is the overall co ordinator for the Trident Magazine, the Trident Calendar, the Christmas Card Committee and Reef Points. The Society was founded as a means for the Brigade to express themselves in arts and letters. Today, in addition to its overseeing responsibilities, the Trident Society sponsors many contests in which the midshipmen may express their talent. For their efforts they receive recognition throughout the Brigade and cash prizes. These contests include the Beat Army Poster Contest, the Photography Contest, the Art Orawing Contest, and the Literary Contest. 641 TRIDENT MAGAZINE This year found Trident magazine with a fresh new exterior as well as many • outstanding articles written both by the Brigade and the faculty. Published four times in November, February, April, and June, Trident presented a wide variety of material ranging in subject from nuclear power to the burning of the Philadelphia and from prize winning literature to the technical aspects of navigation. With Mike Leppert's talents I applied to the difficult task of lay-out, the magazine blossomed into an artistic I publication in which the staff took justifiable pride. The editorial ability of Kevin Reardon, Editor-in-Chief, and the financial know-how of Arnie Sisk combined to result in a large circulation increase and a ledger written, for the 1 first time in many years, completely in black. Also instrumental in Trident's success were Mitch Brown, Tom Houghton, Mike Burkhart Tom Oliver, Keith Haines, Dave Deininger, Jeb Bishop, and George Foote. 642 THE LOG The Log has been the humor and entertainment magazine of the Brigade since its beginning in 1913. It has been the purpose of The Log not only to give midshipmen a place to poke a little fun at their surroundings, but at the same time to let the folks at home see a little more of what life is like in the Marble Monastery. Through the ever vigilant and elusive Salty Sam, a small staff of mad artists, some literary geniuses and a competent editorial staff. The Log has made every effort to carry on in the tradition established long ago. 643 TRIDENT CALENDAR This year the Trident Calendar under the auspices of the Trident Society had the most successful year in recent history. Under the Editorship of Jerry Hofwolt and the business managing of Mike Schotens, the calendar expanded in all areas, printing slightly over 28,000 copies. A particularly fine increase in requests from former graduates and from friends of the Academy led to a boom in mailer sales. Scott McRoberts provided humorous leadership in editing the cartoon portion. His staff extended even to members of the Brigade who sent in cartoons and ideas. J. P. Davis was the Editor for Photography and he extends his thanks to members of the Brigade who sent in pictures for publication. 644 The staff of the 1968-69 Reef Points, under the direction of editor Chuck Ribalta '69, has attempted to revise the book and improve it over previous editions. The format and basic content of the book has remained the same, but parts of it have been expanded, and sections from older Reef Points, which were omitted from recent editions have again been included. Many of the illustrations have been changed, for the first time in recent years, and a few new ones have also been included. The staff hopes that the 1968-69 edition will be of increased usefulness to the Class of '72, and will help to make them feel more a part of the Academy and its history when they arrive in June. 645 CHRISTMAS CARD COMMITTEE Not everyone realizes the amount of behind-the-scenes work that goes into designing and producing a suitable Christmas card for the Brigade each year. This year's committee, under the leadership of John Roach, began work during second class year. The card was designed, bids were taken, and a company was selected, all before June Week. Once the cards had arrived and been distributed, the committee began work on its second major job, the graduation announcements for the First Class. The Christmas Card Committee can take pride in its work, and in the knowledge that , they perform a valuable service to the Brigade. 646 ART AND PRINTING CLUB Athletics and the Naval Academy are synonymous-and behind the teams is the spirit of the Brigade of Midshipmen. The Art and Printing Club helps to promote this emotion within the Brigade. Distributing over four thousand colorful posters during the football season, the Club continued to herald activities such as the Masqueraders and Pop Music Concerts. During the winter. Navy's Gymnastics team received the Club's support. This year the Art and Printing Club also assumed the responsibility for the decorating of Tecumseh. 647 THE COMBINED FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUB The Combined Foreign Language Club serves to unify the efforts of the six language clubs in combined activities for furthering the knowledge of modern languages and cultures outside of the normal classroom curriculum. This year, an extemely successful dance sponsored by the Combined Foreign Language Club under a son et lumiere theme was arranged and attended by young ladies from thirty countries representing nationalities speaking the six tongues taught here. Held in a colorfully lit and decorated Smoke Hall, the occasion was highly successful and enjoyed greatly by both club members and guests alike. Well representing the international theme, the dance served as not only one of the few occasions when all the clubs can join together but also as the highlighting event the Foreign Language Clubs sponsor each year. 648 FRENCH CLUB The French Club provides French-speaking members of the Brigade with the opportunity to engage in enjoyable and interesting French language activities. Under the leadership of President T. C. Houghton, the French Club has sponsored several trips and banquets, with distinguished guests from the Embassies. 649 GERMAN CLUB During the past year the German Club has been fortunate to have had numerous senior German Naval officers as well as ranking members of the staff of the German Embassy address its banquets held monthly. A dance party at the home of Captain Hans-Walter Buch, F.G.N. in McClean, Virginia was another club activity. The highlight of the year was a trip to New York City which included a visit to the Goethe House and attendance at the Vienna Burg-theater's production of Maria Stuart , by Schiller. A visit to the German Embassy concluded the year's activities for the German Club. The officer representative of the German Club is LCDR Christoph von Criegern. F.G.N. ITALIAN CLUB The aims of the Italian Club are to develop a proficiency in the Italian language and an insight into Italian culture and customs. The Italian Club sponsors numerous functions throughout the year to acquaint midshipmen with Italy and the Italian language. Each month a banquet is held with such distinguished guests as the Naval Attache of the Italian Embassy, Italian dignitaries, and professors of Italian from local schools. Excellent foreign movies are also provided throughout the year. 651 PORTUGESE CLUB The Portuguese Club completed another profitable year as it kept in close contact with Brazilian and Portuguese dignitaries in the D.C. area and frequented social functions thereof. Many club banquets were held which provided Portuguese speaking midshipman the opportunity to use their language talent on a selection of guests ranging from the Naval. Military, and Air attaches to economists and diplomats from the inter-American agencies. Highlights of the year were the Brazilian movies, the International Ball and the hosting of the Brazilian exchange midshipmen. 652 RUSSIAN CLUB This year's Russian Club has conducted programs to both attract interest from the new students and to afford opportunities for understanding and exposure in the Russian language and culture. This year saw the Russian Club in D.C.at an Orthodox Church and a Russian book store, in Baltimore at a Russian circus, and at home with movies and banquets. 653 SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club accomplished this year's objective of promoting oral Spanish through field trips, banquets, and Spanish films. Highlights of this year's activities included a visit to the Inter-American Defense Board's 26th Anniversary Ball, a mixer with the Spanish Club of Trinity College and a visit to the Naval Academy by several high-ranking foreign naval officers of Spanish speaking Countries. Highlights of our banquets were Castillian Guitar by Lieutenant Commander Hardin and Tito Rincon's Ukulele Serenade. Club officers were: President, Ernie Triche; Vice-President.

Mike Honey. 654 THE FOREIGN RELATIONS CLUB The Foreign Relations Club offers the individual Midshipmen the opportunity to become involved in the discussion and analysis of contemporary problems that our Country faces as an international power. Significant to the complete education of a Naval Officer, the activities of the Club attract not only the liberal arts students but also the technical majors, who escape from their numbers briefly to broaden their background in the study of Foreign Policy. The Club was successful in inviting many experts in the field from the State Department, Foreign Embassies, the Pentagon, and neighboring Universities to aid in its program. A forum on various topics are held weekly, which is monthly convened in the After-Dinner Speaking rooms after a banquet. Successfully added to this year's program at the initiation of Vice-President Keith Haines was an informal seminar in Area Studies. Highlighting the Club's activities was the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference, which it sponsors. Any success that the Club enjoyed can be in part attributed to the support of its mentor Dr. Rocco Paone, faculty-advisor Mr. Dirk Gleysteen, and Officer-Rep. Lt. Thomas Rhoad. Its presence on campus was made known by the highly vocal leadership of President Midn 1 c John O'Neill. 655 VARSITY DEBATE TEAM The Varsity Debate Team represented the Naval Academy at approximately 35 major intercollegiate debate tournaments in all parts of the United States last year. The Director of Forensics, Assistant Professor Philip Warken, was ably assisted by Major Raymond Kostesky, USMC, Officer Representative. There were three first classmen among the twelve team members. President Jeff Desautels, Vice-President Randy McGough, and Treasurer John O'Neill. The Debate Team experienced another good season, winning many trophies and certificates of excellence. A highlight of the season was winning the first-place trophy at St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia, which was donated by TV Guide Magazine. Another high point in the season is the Naval Academy Invitational Debate Tournament, attended by over 60 of the nation's finest teams, and won last year by Wayne State University. As a special feature of this tournament, the team of Jeff Desautels and John O'Neill defeated Army in a debate attended by many civilian and faculty members, including Admiral Kauffman. Next year's team is expected to continue the success story of the Varsity Mouths. 656 NAFAC This year's topic for the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference centered on Africa and the Middle East. The 150 student delegates from all over the country worked constructively with the midshipman delegates and the senior participants, to make this, the largest NAFAC ever held, the most meaningful one so far. The conference approached the complex problems of Foreign Policy with a mature, but enthusiastic attitude. NAFAC '68 was truly a learning process, and the midshipman staff, directed by Mitch Brown, spent long hours of their own time, insuring that everything went smoothly. The conference was a success in every respect. 657 Y.P. SQUADRON The Y.P. Squadron operates three days a week in the fall and spring providing an opportunity for interested midshipmen to become familiar with shiphandling, tactics, shipboard life and administration. The Squadron made three training cruises each in the fall and spring. Training began with an all-night cruise on the Chesapeake Bay in September. Later in the fall, the Squadron made trips to Baltimore and Philadelphia. The highlight of the spring season was the three day trip to Norfolk in May. The end of the year was celebrated during June Week with the annual Y.P. Squadron picnic. 658 BRIGADE HIP COMMITTEE The Brigade Hop Committee is responsible for most of the midshipmen social activities during the year. Besides providing the nuclei for the respective class committees that stage the Ring Dance and Youngster Hop, the BHC sponsors hops on almost every weekend of the academic year. Among the highlights this year was the most successful Brigade Informal ever staged. This hop is held every year in Philadelphia following the Army Game. The superlative decorations and the presence of Santa helped make the Christmas Formal a festive and memorable occasion. Plans were made in May to hold a Blazer Hop outdoors at the Reflection Pool Area. And again this year, the BHC coordinated with the Pop Music Committee to present combined concert hops. With the invaluable guidance of Mrs. Marshall, our Social Director, and Lt. Thames, our Officer Representative, the Committee has had a most successful year. 659 RING DANCE COMMITTEE The Ring Dance is a along-awaited milestone in a Midshipmen's four years at the Academy. It marks the end of three years of long days and short nights, hard work and occasional sweat, great fun and unforgettable memories; the end of a period of worry over the thought of having to do 68 pushups for wearing a Class Ring illegally; and the beginning of an important year of Academy life. It all fits together-the Dinner, the Dance, the Ring-and on that one night it all seems to become worthwhile. 660 MASQUERADERS 1968 will long be remembered as the year that the Masqueraders presented Hamlet, one of the most difficult and demanding of Shakespearean dramas to produce. No less perplexing and challenging an undertaking was the set to be built for the multi-scene performance. Stage Gang '68 answered the call, applying all of its talent and energy to the effort in a manner that will set a model for years to come. The result was one of the most unique and adaptable sets ever to grace ancient Mahan's worn flooring. No sooner had the curtain descended on the closing performance of Hamlet than the Gang was at it again, this time to provide the background and the atmosphere for the Musical Clubs' rousing To Those Who Have Gone Before Us . Before long, it was June Week, and our industrious crew was at it again, capping off the year with the Masqueraders' The Gamblers . In all, it was a year filled with dedicated effort amid frivolous chaos, massive painted scenes and seemingly endless paint-fights, new experiences and newly-forged friendships, and through it all the rewarding sense of accomplishment and belonging which made the work of a year worthwhile. 661 MUSICAL CLUB SHOW | -■ a .pajjl The Musical Club Show has been entertaining audiences at the Naval Academy since 1917. The shows are written, produced, and directed by midshipmen who are also the prime source of talent. This years production, To Those Who Have Gone Before Us , was written and directed by Midn. 1 c Terry Glover and was produced by Midn. 1 c Ken Kolarcik. The show was a tribute to the American fighting man and a salute to fallen heros of past wars. Highlights of this years production were the folk group, The Blueboys , and the barbershop quartet, The Brassbuttons . The feminine beauty for this years show was added by several local young ladies including four co-eds from the University of Maryland. 662 POPULAR MUSIC CONCERT COMMITTEE The Popular Music Concert Committee had one of its most successful seasons in years during 1967-68. Starting with 'Chad and Jeremy' and 'Johnny Rivers' in the fall we stuck to the ideas that big names sell big. We finished up the season with Neil Diamond for winter Sports Weekend, and Dionne Warwick for June Week. Each concert meant a lot of work, not only by the committee, but also by our Officer Representative Lt. Kelly. It was largely by his efforts that we were able to get the groups we wanted. 663 WRNV, the voice of the Brigade , provides music, news, useful information, and all-around entertainment. This year, under the leadership of Station manager Pete Bishop, WRNV presented many special features such as service selection, live record hops and Navy Sports, in addition to its regular reveille-to midnight programs. 664 NA-10 People are continually asking what the 10 in the name NA-10 stands for. The answer is simple. Ten is the number of fingers that a good musician must use. This year the NA-10 had 24 good musicians, and was directed by Jim Farkas. The NA-10 provides an outlet for musical Midshipmen, it gives them a chance to relax, as well as a method of making use of their abilities by performing for numerous functions in and around the Academy. This has been a very active year, and an extremely good year for the NA-10. We played for tea fights, formals, semi-formals, and for several evening meals. During the Musical Club Show, the NA-10 serves as the pit orchestra. Trips to Hood College, and to Bethel Chapel in Baltimore have been but two of the many highlights for the NA-10 this year. 665 In keeping with past tradition, the Spiffys once again provided the backbone for the pop music program at USNA. First formed in 1958, the Spiffys celebrated their 10th anniversary as one of the top rock groups in the area, providing music weekly for hops and concerts at the Academy as well as surrounding girls schools, and culminated the year by producing their second record album. Led on stage by Rich Petrino (lead vocalist and saxophonist, and Brigade Commander in his spare time), the Spiffys were a tight-knit fivesome composed of Johnny Milner (drummer), Larry Purdy (guitarist and vocalist), Mike I meson (bass guitarist and trouble-maker), and last-and least!-Mike May (organist and vocalist). Though hampered by little time for practice and weekly haircut inspections, the Spiffys still managed to present the look and the sound of the best in popular rock music—the sound of Spiffys 68. 666 BITTER ENDS In their second year of existence, under the leadership of Gary psychedelic , and the BITTER ENDS played a major part in Fishman, the 8ITTER ENDS have continued to bring the latest in bringing some of this excitement to the Severn scene, pop sounds to the Brigade. Performing almost weekly, either in Smoke Hall for Sunday mixers, at class picnics or at nearby colleges, they have presented something new and exciting in the way of music or effects. The only light show of the year, at Navy, happened while the BITTER ENDS played for the Foreign Language Clubs' International Ball. '68 was the year of the 667 OUTRIGGERS After starting with almost nothing, the Outriggers have developed into one of the better groups at the Naval Academy. This became possible through the hard work and leadership of Tony Soulman Flarey. Next year's Outriggers are going to be bigger and better under the direction of David La Bamba Moutoyce and Phil Speed Hagebig. The Outriggers hope to remain an instituted part of the Naval Academy by continuing to produce the sounds of the Brigade. MARKSMEN The Marksmen have substantially contributed to a movement which had its beginning with the formation of the Spiffies. This movement has been the providing of the latest in popular music for midshipmen formal and informal hops. Many a Sunday afternoon the Marksmen can be found fighting it out with their rivals in a Battle of the 8ands in Smoke Hall or simply providing the Brigade with its own unique sound. With the amount of devotion which the members of the Marksmen have put into the creation and improvement of the well liked group, the Brigade can expect to be rocking and rolling to their mod sounds for many years to come. 669 SCUBA CLUB The U.S. Naval Academy Scuba Club is probably the fastest growing professional-recreational activity at the Naval Academy. During the past year 16 Midshipmen and one Officer were trained and certified as YMCA Scuba Leader Examiners. These men then taught 192 Midshipmen and Officers the basics of Safe Scuba Diving. The Clubs activities also included dives in the Chesapeake Bay and various nearby quarries and lakes. Several of the more interesting dives were made under-the-ice which is an experience one never forgets. The Scuba Club was also privileged to have RAdm. Draper L. Kauffman, the Father of UDT and two Officers from the Navy Sea Lab program as guest speakers. 670 W3ADO AMATEUR RADIO CLUB W3ADO. the Amateur Radio Club, is the Brigade's representative in the world of radio communications. In addition to providing operational and technical experience to its growing membership, it provides phone patch and message service for the Brigade and other amateur operators the world over. Recently, the club has instituted a traffic request system in order to provide a greater service to the Brigade. Members of the Brigade are now able to fill out request forms for phone patch or message traffic into the area of their choice, and through operation on regular traffic nets. W3ADO is able to handle these requests. With its new spaces and modern equipment the clubs services both to the Brigade and the amateur fraternity should continue to grow. 671 Photography has been described as one of the fastest growing hobbies in the country. Naturally, the Academy as always leads the country in the development of this very popular past time. This year saw the establishment and growth of the Photo Club from the embryonic club to the sizeable support activity that it has become. The dark room in the basement of Bancroft Hall ranks with some of the best equipped and managed photo facilities in Navy. Many of the Academics other extra-curricular activities owe very excellent photographic coverage to the fellows of the Photo Club. 672 GUN CLUB rii.. .� «•� • r ,h-' kin Besides making stowage space available for midshipmen's weapons, the Gun Club also aids in procuring, repairing and handling weapons for the Brigade. In addition, the club sponsors shoots at the Naval Academy Range and at ranges in the nearby area. 673 '.v. A.I.A.A. The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is a I professional organization which attempts to further the interest in aerospace. The only requirement for membership is interest in anything that flys. This year activities included several lectures and informative films on topics that varied from spin tests on the F-4 ' to environmental failures of materials. The club also made field trips to NASA Goddard and the National Air and Space Museum. A banquet was also sponsored by the club for members of the I aerospace faculty. This year a regional AIAA Conference was held I at the Academy in which 10 schools participated and over 40 I technical papers were presented. Astronaut Aquanaut Scott Carpenter spoke at the awards banquet of the conference. As a continuing project, the club is presently constructing a water-based glider which hopefully will be completed in the next two years. 674 SIGMA PI SIGMA Sigma Pi Sigma is the national society recognizing physicists and students for academic excellence in the Science of Physics. The United States Naval Academy Chapter was chartered in May, 1966. Its founding was historic in that it is the first and only scholastic honor society organized at any of the service academics. The Society is an affiliate of the American Physics Society, and a member of the Association of College Honor Societies. Sigma Pi Sigma's function here is to recognize achievement in Physics among the Brigade and faculty, and to support the activities of the Science Department. New members are inducted yearly who meet the criteria of minoring in Physics or a related field, who stand in the upper third of their class, and who have completed one semester of Physics above the required core course. Meetings are held monthly wherein guest scientists frequently present talks, films related to physics today are shown, etc. Besides papers delivered by members of the Academy faculty-such as one by Prof. Graham on lasers-we have had a guest from the National Bureau of Standards, and sponsored the Spring Regional Meeting. The Naval Academy was represented at the National Convention held at Purdue University in December, 1967. Two banquets were held this year, one in the fall, and the annual Induction Banquet held in May. 675 PROTESTANT CHAPEL CHOIR The Protestant Chapel Choir, under the fine direction of I Professor Donald C. Gilley, performed in very capable fashion i during the academic year leading the Protestant Chapel worship | service each Sunday morning. The Choir is composed of about 120 I midshipmen drawn from all four classes in the Brigade. The Choir made several trips to perform at other churches. At Christmas, Handel's Messiah was performed with the girls from Hood College, both up at Hood and in the Naval Academy Chapel. In ! February the Choir went to New York City to sing at St. Thomas' I Episcopal Church. After Easter, the Choir participated in the I Service for the United States Navy at the National Cathedral in ' Washington, D.C. With the year completed, each Chapel Choir member could be proud of his efforts and remember the experiences and fellowship associated with the Choir, Professor j Gilley, and Dr. Donald R. Childs, our Officer Representative. 676 CATHOLIC CHOIR While the Mormon Tabernacle Choir may be a bit more polished, our Catholic Chapel Choir can match any group with its enthusiasm and devotion. Chief musician Joe McCuen, aided by our Officer-Representative, Lt. Kelly and Choir Officers Kevin Dwyer, Ken Kolarcik and John Hine, is responsible for channeling this energy into a pattern of constant improvement. Highlights of the year for the Catholic Choir were invitations to participate in Divine Services at the National Shrine in Washington, and at St. Patrick's in New York. 677 ( ANTIPHONAL CHOIR The Antiphonal Choir is composed of midshipmen from all four j classes and has a combined membership of 150 men. Besides j participating in Protestant Chapel Services every Sunday morning during the academic year, they also make several trips to various ( Eastern cities. They annually make a weekend trip to Scarsdale, New York where they have several singing engagements. On Sunday afternoon of that weekend they also provide the Choral music for the Massing | of the Colors which was held this year at the Fifth Avenue I Presbyterian Church in New York City. Besides their trip to New York City, they also sang at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. on Navy Day and made | several exchange trips with girls choirs and glee clubs from colleges j in the area. 678 NEWMAN CLUB An integral part of Catholic Midshipmen at the Academy is the Newman Club, which meets the second and fourth Sunday of every month. With the able leadership of two of the finest chaplains in the Navy, the Newman Club sponsors such prominent Catholic speakers as Bob Cousy, Rocky Marciano, and many others. The club highlighted its year with the performance of a 20 girl folk singing group, which was naturally a big hit with the midshipmen. 679 GLEE CLUB The Glee Club had another very successful year with Chief Musician Joe McCuen as the Director, and Midshipman First Class Don Hay as the President. The club made over thirty live appearances in seven states plus several TV shows. The highlight of the year was the Third Annual Midwest Tour which covered the states of Arkansas, Indiana, and Kentucky. On this tour, as in the years before, the Glee Club did an outstanding job of building the prestige of the Academy. The Glee Club closed the year with its annual June Week Concert. 680 681 682 ADS 683 i Creating anew world with electronics m if Isn’t that a pretty big claim?

S. Steel's Gary Steel Works. A THOUSAND PROJECTS ON THE FIRE... At United States Steel, there's something new and different—and exciting—stirring all the time. Right now, we have nearly a thousand modernization and improvement projects in various stages of design, construction or break-in operation. After the expenditure of more than 1,000 man-years in laboratory, pilot plant and engineering studies, the first large-scale commercial continuous slab casting facility in the United States is now undergoing break-in operation at our Gary, Indiana Steel Works. This new unit transforms molten steel into high quality, 40-foot slabs in less than an hour. Conventional processing takes many hours, sometimes days. The continuous casting process is a close companion of basic oxygen steelmaking, and three basic oxygen furnaces have replaced 17 open hearth furnaces in the Gary mill. They feed the steel to the continuous casting unit, which provides slabs for a hot strip mill that can produce hot-rolled sheets in coils as wide as 76 inches and weighing 75,000 pounds. Near Houston, United States Steel's new Texas Works is taking shape for serving the vast and growing markets in the Southwest. The nation's most powerful electron microscope has been installed in the Pittsburgh area, and a new cold reduction mill and related facilities are also being constructed there. Two modern bar mills are going up in Ohio, and a continuous billet casting machine is scheduled for completion in Southern California in 1968. On stream is a new line for pre-painted steel sheets in Birmingham. In the Chicago-Gary area is a new mill for producing light, flexible steel foil, and a new six-stand cold reduction mill that can roll in an hour enough steel to make more than a million standard-size cans. A new basic oxygen process shop is under construction in South Chicago, where a giant blast fur- nace—as tall as a 20-story office building—will also rise against the sky. Another project presently in construction stage in the Chicago-Gary area is a new high-speed galvanizing line. Similar lines are now in operation on the East Coast and in Alabama. Our new taconite plant in Minnesota can supply 4.5 million tons of pellets annually for use in the pro-ductionof molten iron.Aself-unload-ing vessel, first of a new generation of ore carriers on the Great Lakes, is being built to transport these pellets to U. S. Steel plants in the Chicago-Gary area, and elsewhere, for blast furnace consumption. It’s worth noting, too, that we are continuing to equip every new steelmaking facility at United States Steel with the latest available anti-pollution devices for air and water. We aim to produce the world’s best steels and products of steel. At the same time, we also want to keep the air and water clean for our neighbors and ourselves. United States Steel Atoms Aweigh at Newport News We're proud to have been entrusted with the building, refueling and servicing of an important part of the new nuclear Navy. To date, we've built the nuclear carrier Enterprise— and refueled her before she went into action off Vietnam. Fourteen Newport News nuclear-powered Polaris submarines are in service. Seven nuclear-propelled attack submarines are under construction or being outfitted—a whole new generation of the Newport News-built fighting craft that have served under three generations of Annapolis graduates.

After a midshipman finishes four years of studying to become an officer, what comes next? A lifetime of study. As one of the leaders of his country, he must constantly keep abreast of advancing technologies in a world that is going to get more and more compli cated.
