Js DONALD WAYNE CARSTENS Although he came fresh out of Perry Hall High School in Baltimore, Wayne managed to validate most of Plebe year and since then, has made practically every Dean ' s List. Wayne soon became well known, not only for his willing academic help, but for the good times to be had with him - June Week pool parties and ski trips, to mention a few. A strong competitor on the lacrosse field and a good eye for the girls further attest to Wayne ' s wide diversity of interests. His easy going manner and great ability will set Wayne well on his way in whatever career he chooses. ALBERT THOMAS CHURCH, III Tom, a Navy junior from Alexandria, Virginia, is one of the more effervescent personalities of the class, adding that extra bit of humor to each day that makes weekends come that much sooner whether it be in performing his ritual pre-weekend dance or celebrating the end of a six N day. A former member of the 31st Company, Tom moved to the 34th Company housekeeping as Company Sub-Commander. When it comes to academics he is a diligent worker who, by putting forth that extra sweat when it comes to exams, has managed to maintain a fine scholastic average. Tom ' s vibra nt personality and drive will assure him of success upon graduation. JAMES PRESSLEY CRAFT, III The son of an Academy graduate, Jim entered with a better than average knowledge of what to expect from life at USNA. With a keen mind, he found plenty of free time to devote to devising new ideas to make life more comfortable and interesting for himself as well as his classmates. Whatever time wasn ' t devoted to his first love — varsity crew — went to his second, Georgia and all possible means of spending as much time as was available there. Other moments found him either sitting in deep thought or taking more leisurely advantage of the time which early validation upon entrance had granted him. His future in the service will be at the least exciting and varied. NORMAN RICHARD DEPP Rick came to Navy from the hallowed halls of Punxsutawney Area High School, where he was an outstanding football and basketball player. Since his arrival at the Academy, Norman , as he IS known by his close friends, has carried his athletic prowess into the realm of 150 lb. football and company basketball. Academic life didn ' t always agree with Norman , but it never got him down and he always did his best in work and play, parti- cularly the latter. An easy going manner and keen sense of humor made Norman the hit of any party. Rick ' s greatest attributes are his personality, confidence and ability to get things done. Rick will be an outstanding naval officer and a welcome member of any command. GERALD JOSEPH DOWNEY, JR. Coming to us from Charlotte, North Carolina after high school graduation, Jerry quickly adapted to life at the Naval Academy. Starting Plebe year, he entered into many extracurricular activities which took valuable study and rack time. Even so, Gerry partici- pated in intramural football, fieldball and obtained a command qualification for the Academy yawls. Although many a weekend found him researching a term paper for his E. H. G major, he did manage to find a few weekends to devote to the fairer sex. Jerry ' s amiable personality and fine character will definitely lead him to be one of the finer line officers in the fleet. 470

MARIO JOSEPH BAGAGLIO, JR. Mario, or Bags as he is known bv most of his friends, hails from Dennison, Ohio. With three years at Linsly Military Insititue as a military background. Bags met the Academy requirements with ease. He displayed a lively personality even though many times he was called on to do tasks that were required of him as a striper. He found little trouble with the academic department and could occasionally be seen wearing stars while being a perennial member of the Supt ' s List. The only difficulty he ever encountered was when he entered the Natatorium, but he always came out okay. With his personality, pep, and cheerfulness success is sure to greet Bags in his career in the service. MARKBARBERO Barbs came to USNA from Edison High School in Alexandria, Virginia. Coming from a Navy family, he was used to extensive traveling and constant changes. As a result. Barbs had that lively personality that is characterized in a Navy junior. Plebe year found Barbs a long time guest in the hospital. Being a lover of good times and freedom. Barbs was one of the first off on liberty. He could always be counted on for a good joke or a helping hand when it was needed. His sincerity, although often hidden by his outgoing attitude, was ever present in his friendships. Whatever branch of the service Barbs decides to enter, he will offer an enviable sense of desire and determination. TERRENCE L. BINGMAN Terry came to USNA from New Kensington, Pennsylvania where he was a member of various school bands and the Key Club. Terry followed his musical inclinations and became a member of both the Naval Academy Drum and Bugle Corps and the Concert Band. Terry devoted many long hours of hard work to these two organizations. He contributed greatly to many of the half-time shows for which the D B is so well known. Apart from his musical endeavors Terry still found time to compete in the intramural sports of lightweight football, squash, and Softball. I ' m sure Terry will become a fine naval officer because he possesses the desire and the will to work hard and get any job done. GREGORY CHARLES BROWN Greg calls Lincoln Park, New Jersey home, although the ski slopes and the shore claimed a sizeable part of his leaves. He renowned himself with his skiing ability Plebe year, and with his love for the pad time the other three years. He got a head start on the system in the enlisted Navy and at NAPS. Brownie could be found afternoons soaking up the sun with the Sailing Squadron and up front in the Chapel Choir on Sundays. Amiable and outgoing, he was always a hit in Philadelphia at the Army game where he would arrive at the march-on with an overcoat full of goodies for his classmates. Greg ' s friendly personality and deter- mined attitude should insure him a successful career in the Navy.

DONALD HOWARD ESTEY, JR. Chip came to USNA from Delmar, New York where in high school he lettered in football, baseball and basketball. He con- tinued his athletic career at Navy by playing varsity baseball and football. Chip was liked and respected by all his classmates from the start. The confidence they held in him was shown when he was elected vice president of the N Club. He proved himself to be a hard worker by his long hours spent on the class policy committee and fulfilling his duties as a Company Commander. Chip accom- plished all the tasks given him with great success and there is no doubt he will become an outstanding officer and a credit to the naval service. JERRY M. FARROW Jerry came into Navy life from Smyrna, New York. While at the Academy he sang m the Antiphonal Choir and excelled at Brigade boxing as well as other activities. He was often charac- terized by a certain benign cynicism bred in part by his four year running battle laundry, press shop and academic departments, but this was not to belie his resolution and ability to hang in there in the face of adversity. Jerry ' s profeiciency with the parallel rulers and dividers earned him the title of Prince Henry the Navigator , but his wit, wisdom and sound judgmerw will contribute most to his success in the service. DAVID BAILEY JENNINGS Dave, a Navy junior, calls Wilmington, North Carolina home. He could usually be found manning one of the Navy yawls out on the Chesapeake or playing a quick round of tennis or squash. He also kept the radios going in the ham shack where he put his Electrical Science studies to good use. He had no trouble keeping his pad in shape or leaving all his possessions around the yard. His contact with the academic world was an undying mystery, a problem he tried to solve with his 4 a.m. reveilles. His pleasant attitude and congenial smile will be a welcome asset to the Navy. TIMOTHY EUGENE McCOMBS Tim came to the Academy from Wheeling, West Virginia. To those of us who knew Tim, nothing is called to mind more vividly than his genuinely sincere manner and congenial person ality. His easy going way often got him into problems in the academic department, but even here he showed that nothing is impossible. In his athletic endeavors Tim has been looked upon as a Jack of all trades. However, he has mastered quite a few of them, such as company basketball, Softball and volleyball. It is quite safe to say that Tim will succeed as an outstanding naval officer, for his firm yet polite demeanor will carry him through even the most challenging of problems. I ik
