JONATHAN DOUGLAS BUELL 1-4 Tacoma, Washington Lieutenant West Point instills discipline in the unruly; Jonny B epitomized discipline in its highest form. Despite Witz and Borcheltian influences, Bravo took a liking to the Beam and became one with it. A formidable and well-liked mascot of the l-Beam, we will hope to forget his condescending but humorous style. Sandhurst 4.3: Staff Usher (CFAF) 4: Scoutmasters ' Council 4,3. BENEDICT JAMES CHU 1-4 Poughkeepsie, New York Captain Benwa was the Poughkeepsie Connection. This home boy experienced a rough first year, probably due to homesick- ness. Benny ' s rough plebe year resulted in the abnormal behavior of sleeping with his eyes wide open. However, despite hardship early on, he recovered to become a true leader, and motivator of the people who served for him. Squash Team 4.3,2, 1; Chinese Club 4,3,2, 1 : ASME 1. STEPHEN DAVID CIFRULAK, JR. 1-4 Sewickley, Pennsylvania Captain Sid. ..Snake, will best be remembered for a miserable Beast Barracks, a Plebe Parent Week that ended with a First Class Board, a campaign for the Class Presidency under the banner of There ain ' t no nde like this at Disneyland, Baby! , and for the highly controversial Army Navy t-shirt design of 1989. ..and he still graduated. Wow. ADDIC 2, 1: Creative Writing Seminar 2. BERTRAND HAROLD DEFOREST 1-4 Derby, Connecticut Lieutenant Bert will always be remembered for his undying devotion to the l-Beam. Despite juggling his many activities including wine, women, and occasionally academics, Bert always found time to be a friend. Bert ' s personality may have best been displayed by his intense dedication and play on the grid iron. His determination will serve him well. Football 4,3,2.1. JOHN WESLEY EISENHAUER 1-4 Watertown, New York Lieutenant John, or Ike as he was known, will always be remembered for his ability to make Dean ' s List without studying. Always smiling, Ike never let anything get him down. Although he is from the North Country of New York, we won ' t hold it aqainst him.l-BEAMMIII!

Taking the Oath. The Class of 1 990 raises their right hand and takes the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic. PAUL ASHCRAFT GREGORY BASTIEN PAUL VINCENT ASHCRAFT 1-4 Hamilton, Montana Lieutenant From the backwoods of Montana, Paul discovered electric- ity at West Point and dedicated his cadet career to figuring out how the lights went on. His stories of the good ol ' days with the good ol ' boys kept us all on the lighter side of life. As he rides into the sunset, good luck Paul. Crevi 3. GREGORY MICHAEL BASTIEN 1-4 Stephenson, Michigan Captain Being facetious and sarcastic was an art Greg practiced to perfection during his time as a cadet. Greg was also a hard worker and constantly attempted to perfect himself physi- cally, mentally, and spiritually. Greg would do anything for you though, especially if you were an l-Beamer. The Beam wishes Bash good luck. Flying Club 1: Navigators 2. 1: PCSS Teachers 3.2. 1. Graduates 561

CAROL JOHNSON JONI JOHNSON DAVID ANTHONY ESPOSITO 1-4 Upper Saddle River, New Jersey Lieutenant The I-BEAMS beloved ESPO. He entered the gates a Jersey- boy and left an AIRBORNE RANGER. Along the way, his quest for life, love, Ike-ettes and Flirtie shed new light on the creed Fellow Me. He was something special and showed us all why RANGERS Lead The Way! Good Luck. God Bless and HUAH!! Men ' s Indoor Outdoor Track 4: Crew 3: Sandhurst 3.2,1: Tactics Infantry 2,1. JEFFERY TODD HARROD 1-4 Frankfort, Kentucky Lieutenant We will rennember Jeff as someone who spent his entire cadet career in one of two places, the dayroom or the rack. This miraculous thing is that he only managed to go to STAR once and made the Dean ' s List for two years. Ring Crest Committee 4.3.2, 1. KERI JEAN HESTER 1-4 Lincoln, Arkansas Lieutenant If some cadets live their lives on the edge, then Keri was dangling over the cliff by her toes. Always good for a laugh, if not for a math test, Keri challenged regs and academics, and won at the end. She spent most of her cadet career on probation, but her heart should have gotten her off. Bye bye. Keri. Women ' s Basketball 4 (Manager): Gospel Choir 4: PCSS Teachers 1: Rabble Rousers 2: Special Olympics 2. JAMES FREDERIC JACOBS 1-4 West Terre Haute, Indiana Captain Jim ' s philosophy of life revolved around an empty glass, a full can of Copenhagen, and his high school sweetheart. Jim ' s wildest times made us all feel good and kept us riding on the edge of our seats. Jakes, make us proud! CAROL A. JOHNSON 1-4 Chicago, Illinois Lieutenant West Point has been a learning experience that I will never forget. I have grown in ways that I never would have imag- ined four years ago. The friendships and experience I have had will always be in my memory wherever I go. Church of Christ 4,3,2,1: CAS 4,3: Gospel Choir 4, JONI JANINE JOHNSON 1-4 Shaker Heights, Ohio Lieutenant Joni will be remembered as one of the pair — Johnson and Johnson. If you didn ' t see Joni around much, she was always busy cheering on the Army team, preparing a design project, or shopping at the mall on OPPs. It was hard work, determination, and prayer that got her through this place. Good Luck! Gospel Choir 4,3,2: CAS 4,3.2: Rabble Rousers 4,3.2: Society of Women Engi- neers 1. Graduates 563
