a y V CARLOS EDUARDO PARRAGUE Arriving on the banana boat from Chile in 1965, Parakeet brought with him many years of military experience derived from plebe years spent at both the Chilean Naval and Air Force Acad- emies. His professional attitude became readily apparent to both his classmates and the upperclass, and he distinguished himself even as a plebe. ' The Spic ' , as he vuas fondly called, picked up the English language almost as easily as he learned how to throw a football. It was always great fun to toss a beer can at him at a party and watch how he would instinctively jump up and catch it with his feet. Carlos ' easy going, Latin humor will make him welcome in any wardroom of our Navy. CHARLES RIBALTA Chuck comes to the Academy, surviving the perils that come from living in Brooklyn, New York. The experience gained from attending Brooklyn Tech High School has helped him in his futile attempt for scholastic excellence. On weekends you can usually find him either dragging a young lady or catching up on the sleep he missed the week before. Even with his tough schedule he still found time to become the editor of Reef Points, and an active member in the Scuba Club. Chuck distinguishes himself among his classmates as a man with a pleasant smile and a warm hello for everyone he knows. No matter which branch of the service he chooses. Chuck is sure to be an asset to the Naval Service. ! i ( LLSI ;. ' 0:R. CHARLES F.SNYDER, III C. F. came to the Naval Academy from Bradenton, Florida with a soft spot in his heart for Fords, ' Gators, and a nurse. Although his loves remained intact, under the capable leadership of the flaw his talents were rechanneled somewhat. Through it all, the Bull retained a sense of humor which offered many of us our lightest moments. C. F. ' s competency and pride in a |Ob well done made him an easy winner in all his endeavors, although he enjoyed his brightest hours of glory in the academic halls and on the athletic field. C. F. has chosen a career in Navy line where he will undoubtedly be a valuable asset and a representative of which the Class of 69 will be extremely proud. DONALD DWIGHT TIPPETT Dunbar, in the rolling hills of West Virginia, is Don ' s home- town. Although he came to Navy right out of high school, Don had no trouble with academics. His favorite department was Engineering and his interest and studiousness made him no strang- er to the Dean ' s and Supt ' s Lists. Known far and near as The Marauder , Don played about all of the company sports. He was our company representative for two years and was noted for his firm opinion of any issue presented. Don was a staunch believer in the military system and possessed a true professional attitude. As a midshipman Don was always looking forward to his days in the Fleet and will undoubtedly make a fine officer. LAWRENCE WILLARD TOWNSEND Larry, more well known as L. W., or just plain Lar, or various other colorful names, hails from the fair state of Florida. Larry did his best to acquire a Physics Major on validation day of his Plebe Summer, and was much dismayed when told that he would have to take a couple of courses to complete it. Lar worked hard Plebe Year, and built an academic foundation upon which, one short year later, he vaulted to academic excellence. Lar, never one to sweat the system, nonetheless, did a good job in all that he attempted. The Navy is going to receive a very intelligent and dedicated officer when Larry enters into his field of endeavor, upon graduation. MICHAEL ELWOOD YOUNKER Mike entered the Hallowed Halls of Mother B by a lot of hard work and the graciousness of the Secretary of the Navy. Hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska, this Napster brought with him a tenacity and dedication for the service which was admired by his classmates. After a slow start with academics, the old man finally got back into the groove and his name was often found among those on the list. An active member of the plebe and varsity track teams, Mike could usually be found afternoons climbing his pole. His desire and dedication will continue to serve him in good stead— what ever branch of the Navy is blessed with his talents. 238 ' =«lltG;

H BILLY LAROY LEWIS Louie, as he is generally known, came to the Academy after attending Marion Military Institute and serving in the Naval Re- serve. From the first he was a fiery, enthusiastic Destroyerman taking charge in what ever sport he participated. LaRoy was particularly adept at basketball, just earning the nickname Gun- ner Academics presented little trouble but were definitely not high on his list of priorities. On many occasions Louie could be found pursuing his favorite pastime, buried beneath his ' Blue and Gold ' blanket. His ability to mix fun and hard work while achiev- ing outstanding results will take Louie as far as he wishes to go in life. STEPHEN McCALL LIND Steve came to us from Olympia, Washington, after a varied and exciting life on the West Coast. Throughout his four years here, Steve has left his mark in many places. As a prominent member of the Drum and Bugle Corps, he was to prove his musical skills many times over. Springtime would find Steve either on the golf course or in the pad. Though he never made Supt ' s List, Steve was easily the best read man in the company, with his book collection the envy of all. Always remembered for his easy going personality and his ready wit, Steve is planning a career in Naval Aviation. He is sure to be tops. DANIEL JOSEPH LONG From the Steel City, Pittsburgh, came Danny Long. Starting off Plebe Year, Dan immediately amassed a phenomenal number of demos as well as the admiration of every one of his classmates. His determination and smiling countenance made him a welcome member of any crowd. It could never be said that Danny didn ' t have at least one good joke in the right place at the right time. As a member of the batt cross country and weightlifting teams, Danny exhibited his athletic prowess and once more his determi- nation and will to win. Bound to put to good use his airborne and other professional training, Dan should have no trouble chipping out his niche in the halls of Naval Service fame. GUY THOMAS MASCARI Hailing from Terra Haute, Indiana, Guy ' s only goal was to know all that was worth knowing, especially about the stock market, the ponies, and even the Navy. After running Plebe and Varsity track for two years, he rendered his valuable services to the Batt crew and Company fieldball team. The Canary ' s second home at Navy was Luce Hall, where he worked on an Ops Analysis major. Guy would have worn stars more often if academics had the glamorous appeal of other schemes like his trip to Europe. However, his name appeared frequently on the Dean ' s and Supt ' s Lists. Above all Guy possessed a great deal of professional know- ledge and was anxious to get out to the real Navy. ■■ M
