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.
