Muti took out his initial frustrations at Savy by boding and won the ptebe smoker. After a dry and sheltered ptebe year, beer was legal and he proceeded to set new records in both consumption and demerits. Second class year saw him ayoiding ttie books (what li- brary ??i and making the Dean ' s list.

(Happy be ttie man . . .1 (G.U.E.) Hi. MomI Steve, alias P.M. came from Blame. MS with his dime cup crammed on his head. Steve was never tiesitant to share his finer moods with his firsties. While at USM Steve developed a system of organization so complex tttat even an IBM computer couldn ' t handle his files. To this day Steve could teH you his total expenditures since his birth. Steve was such a wizard at financing ttiat he could shift his debts from Visa one month to Master Ctiarge ttie next As a result of his high financing Steve was able to go into the hardware business. He was able to supply his acquaintances, not friends, with ttie latest in tiardware equipment which included a tOO ft garden tiote. which tie lent out only under special curcumstances As we k ok past Steve ' s minor quirks, we could see wtiat a great guy lie really is. Steve was always ready, able and wiling to drop whatever tie was doing to tielp a friend in need. Steve always had a solution for any problem. We will always remember and love him. Ttie Clan Ricky-P joined 2S alter a year at SAPS. It was there that lie must have picked up ttie study habits that impressed us all so much- Rick was squared away plebe year Still, he came close to quitting after innumer- able tangles with his many spiffies. and tie did manage to spit coffee all over a four-man room. Rick had a Latin passion for guns. Strohs. coffee. Jaguars, and anything else that money could buy. A champion tieer-chugger. he complained that no-one would ever get a group logettier to drink. He had revenge on his classmates, doing ttie classic leap on itiem while they were defenseless in the clutches of their racks. That chief style body could crush a lesser mid ' n. Rick was a memt er of ttie champion trivia team - a fact which was kept secret from Duke and possible Ac-boards. Rick owned a Vega, a bizarre vehicle which ran on more oil than gas. He knew how to live ttirough. and blew off I C cruise for a South American adven- ture But. It might help his career goals in Naval Intelligence or Strategic Weapons. 23

OK HHS rcfl James M Hudson (The M stand for Mercenary) came to the UnCol- lege from the pages of Soldier of Fortune and the hills of Pa. We knew he was coming because his chin preceeded him by 5 mm. Jay proved himself to be a man of many talents. none of which were remotely related to mathematics. He is a history buff par excellance. It is a little known fact that Bruce Cation used Jay as a primary reference in many of his Civil War books. Since his secret dream was to paddle silently toward enemy shores armed with only a bayonet (KV and I uses) he decided to go out for the Lwt. crew team, however he had to row unarmed. To make up for this he read books. He read them by the J.M. Hudson Method. (1st page, last page, middle word on every third page) Jay was secretly a muskrat. He never got fried because people who wrote him up were never seen agam. He once went to Mombassa. Partly to join the fight partly to sell his car. He came to us pure as the driven snow and leaves slightly tarnished. He is a good friend and babysitter. Leaving the cold of Wl. Paul set out to see the world through the eyes of a hardly- work ing( ?) MM3 .- aboard the USS Halsey. commanded by norw other than CART McCauley. After saying farewell to his beloved C.O- he traveled to Newport. Rl to loin the ranks of the beer-drinking, hell-raising NAPSters Once at USNA Paul set out to become a Marine Eng and join Hyman Brothers. IMC- After a lengthy 3 c cruise on a SSN. Paul did a quick 180 and headed tor the skies at he dubbed himself RIO RIO was always a woman ' s man but why he chased after Linda Ronstadt. I ' ll never know. His final year was spent as BA TT OPS and coach of the three time undefeat ed 4th BATT Boxing Champs. As the year ended, he once again organized the Annual 23rd Co Class of $1 Picnic (With the aid of ours truly STEIN). Thanks for the softball game with the motorcycle gang! As RIO sets his sails to the Seven Seas and his tunes to Linda ' s stolen songs. I ' ll always wonder how much he made off that yellow OUTLA W T shirt at the bottom of my lunk pile. known as R.i3. by him Mom. Lieutenant by his Grandfather, and Bob the k by his classmates, this daring young Naval Officer hM-ls from Groton or Naples or Hawaii or wherever else the travelling Hymie show takes his family. In the best family tradition, this Navy (and USNA) lunior will oin the fission people after graduation. A typical Nuke. Bob showed extraordinary talent to handle technical courses early as he blew away the Math Department. Never to be mistaken as a novelist, though. Bob struggled through his Foreign language. English that IS. Plebe year. Ahng with his prowess in English, he amazed everyone with his pencil leadership paper and his punctual history thesis. Somehow he dodged enough Bull courses to puM a 4.0 second class year. In addition to his academic studliness he fit into any social gathering as long as someone brought ak ng his list. Bob surely will be remembered for his willingness to help others. Fair ventilation and folk wing currents. Bob. Melissa came to the Academy fust a little bit scared of everthing. from her roommate to the mile-run. However it didn ' t take her long to overcome these fears and master all phases of life at USNA. right down to braving the tower jump. Her shyness lessened, and she earned the nick- name Gripper for her terrific feelies. Then she developed her command voicei who can forget her ordering everyone out of her room. Never one to worry about academics. Melissa maintained a healthy grade point a verage. and ex celled at Chinese, a course complimentary to her History Major. This wasn ' t her favorite subject though, her specialty was a skinny guy named Bob. right Sweetie . Well Melissa, you fulfilled your parents dream, got an excellent education, became a much more outgoing gal. and got a great guy for a husband} looks like you have USNA and life licked. 23

AZ SOC The Infamous STEIN did not have far to travel when he came to USNA. The piebe summer b.s. had not even started when he unveiled a plan to make megabucks shellacking ceil- ings. A natural-born resources man- agement ma or. Rids knew the value of a dollar - and a quarter, and a dime. and a nickel, and a penny. But stories about that are a dime a dozen. Craig gained fame in other ways too. Ask Him! He was voted most likely to win a wet T shirt contest, sensitive guy! The Rids was popular with the ladies, and we know that the chow packages they sent were popular with him. When we think of Craig, some pictures will always come to mind- fighting with roommates, abusing Stu. wrestling Luke, selling worthless washclothes . calculating SCAMPS points, and not getting six stripes. An avid member of the championship trivia team, Craig always knew where his interests laid. 23 won ' t forget Rids, an involved, good humored, and patient guy. Peter hails from Rottenchester. NY. He followed his father ' s and Grandfather ' s footsteps by attending USNA. During his years here. Pete schemed and connived his way into the Honor Committee so that as a I c he could have 3 striper libs and a phone. Academically Pete was very smart, with help from his two roommates. On the sports field he played varsity bench LAX for 3 years and will start this year. Socially Pete was a butterfly, landing from one woman to another. Pete really moved up in social stature when he bought his first and last Mercedes only to find that a Benze costs more than Mids make. He moved down to a Datsun XCO. a car that can go very fast but one he drives slower than the tourists in the yard. Domestically. Pork IS hurting in the neatness area. His room has always been an O-course with shoes, shirts, ocks and books placed in the first convenient unclut- tered spot. Pete will definitly have problems finding a suitable companion unless two groads make a right, but we still love him. SRO CAR Scott Alexander Ring Midshipman 370-68-3413 Rick came to USNA as a devoted Dallas fan from beautiful Grand Canyon. One of his few problems as a plebe came in swimming. He didn ' t do too well, but always passed the tests the second time around. After West-Pac cruise surface line wasn ' t for him. Rick never had any grade problems despite studying everyday during Condition Luke. Rick showed good discipline by writing to Julie at least twice a week. Luke appreciated this as every time Julie answered she said Hi. the most mail he ever received. He was active in radical leftist groups such as the Baptist Student Union, the champion Bush- leagers. and the Oceanography Club (he got to feed the fish). Rick was very happy 2 c year when Julie agreed to be his bride. The plebes were happy to hear it too. The other big moment 2 c year was when he bought a ' 67 Mustang which soon had an argument with Jay ' s Fury. Luke showed up I c year with something even better, a ' 661 After graduation and marriage to Miss Julie Noreau. Rick wants to be an NfO . . . even though Adm. Rickover has an eye on him. 23
