»1 RONNIE LEE BARROW Ron, a product of Greensboro, North Carolina, came to the Naval Academy after attendmg a year at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. A Southerner of the finest tradition - Ron was perhaps not the most intellectual midshipman, but he was one of the liveliest. Anytime anything was going on you could always be sure he was right in the middle of it. His good nature and quick wit will surely keep him well remembered wherever he goes. NORMAN FRANKLIN BROWN Norm comes to the Academy from Providence, Rhode Island. Upon entering. Norm soon realized that Plebe summer was not like his old high school days, but he managed to conform to the demands placed upon him. His smiling face and outward per- sonality have won him many friends throughout the Brigade. Active in the Log magazine for three years. Norm was managing editor in his first class year. He has been a great help to many for spiritual needs, taking an active part in the Christian life. He can be found regularly at OCU, NACA and the daily meditations in the Chapel. Whatever field Norm decides to follow, he will make a great contribution to the Naval Service. ROBERT BRADFORD BROWN The Naval Academy has produced many men whose success has seemed predetermined, however, no graduate has had Brad ' s intrinsic capacity for success Coming from humble origins in the backwoods of Idaho, Brad ' s hard, persistent drive has catapulted him into a position admired by his classmates. Often told to slow down and take life easy. Brad would have none of it. His intense motivation and ambition have appeared in everything he has done from sports to academics. He has anchored company soccer, basketball and softball teams through four glorious years. Brad can often be seen working until the wee hours of the morning, polishing shoes and keeping his Supt ' s List grades up. ( MICHAEL GARRETT DAVIS Mike, being a Navy Junior, is at home in almost any state, though he prefers to call California his home. Mike arrived at the Naval Academy six days late. After getting a late appointment but lost no time in catching up with his classmates. It was strenuous at times, but he made it. It was soon evident that he is very parctically minded, as is demonstrated by his ability to build electronic equipment, even though he has trouble with the theory involved in Electrical Engineering. As is evident, one of his favorite hobbies is stereo equipment, and he always keeps up with the latest music. Mike is very well-rounded and will encounter no real problems in his Naval career. THOMAS RUSSELL DAY Tom came to the Academy after a year of college and two years in the USMC. These extra years were of great aid to him in gaining maturity, a diverse background, and a knowledge of the more worldly areas. Perhaps Tom ' s greatest accomplishment was that he got a 2.0. Academics were certainly not his forte but if sweat and desire are any criteria he was 4.0. Though always up for a good time — any time, any place; he also enjoyed discussions on any subject and the simple pleasures of life and nature. Tom ' s greatest ability lies in le adership and a great interest and know- ledge of people. With this ability and his diverse character, success in whatever he pursues is assured. 432

The biggest move we made was to 5th Battalion and a year with Matt made it well worth the effort. Our bit of wisdom is, If you drink, don ' t drive, if you do both, stay out of peoples front yards. Never big, in fact, one of the smallest companies in the Brigade, we will always remember: a friendly company officer Gentlemen, there will be no mickey mouse in this company and I won ' t play cops and robbers. Sure, Steve! or the second class who packed up and walked out in the middle of the week; and the first class who saw the new attitude of the academic board first hand. Not all our losses were taken as lightly ... we will always remember Phil. SPRING SET: CO. CDR: J. W. Latham; SUBCDR T R Day. CPO: G. S. Mclnchok. 29th COMPANY OFFICER LT S. M. Ferencie, USN

FREDERICKMICHAEL FURLAND Fred, a Navy junior, came to the Naval Academy from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, but could claim almost anywhere as home. A firm believer in the finer things in life, Fred could always find out ivhere things were happening. Of course, academics and regula- tions weren ' t things to hamper Fred ' s style, as can be shown by his overwhelming QPR and the many weekends at restriction musters. At other times you would most likely find him studying for his Math minor, participating in company or battalion sports, or else hard at work relaxing and reading his technical books. Fred ' s winning smile, good natured personality and determination will make him an outstanding naval officer. ROBERTCRAIG HINCKLEY Coming to the Naval Academy from a top-notch private school in New Orleans, Bob immediately assumed the role of company poet laureate and cultural expert. Known to frequently burn the midnight oil in quest of new approaches to electrical science. Bob IS always willing to use his analog computer-like mind to help anyone with an academic problem. A leader from the beginning, Hincks IS well liked and respected by everyone. A hard charger! , Born with salt water in his blood. and lightning fast on the maneuvering board are just a few of the admiring comments made about Bob. He has skippered the company knockabout team to three years of victory. A Sunday school teacher for three years. Bob has hopes of eventually becoming a Chaplain. j STEPHEN WAYNE JOSEPHSON Steve came to USNA from Gowanda, New York, a small town near Buffalo. Straight from high school, he took immediately to the Academy life. His academics have always been well above the average. He has played too m the Concert Band and NA-10 along with D B for his first two years, thereafter concentrating entirely on the D B. His other activities have included active participation in the Officers ' Christian Union and NACA. Steve probably is one of the best liked men at the Academy. His constantly bright smile under that mop of strawberry -blonde hair will be missed by many. No matter what branch he chooses he will be a fine officer. LEO JAMES KELLEHER Jim, or Lee as he is better known, came to the Academy from Greensboro, North Carolina, Lee is a very avid sports fan, especially basketball in which he excelled playing for his company team. Academics come very easily to Lee which makes it con- venient, so he can spend more time enjoying what is most dear to him, playing his soul guitar. Never one to turn down a favor, Lee goes out of his way to help a friend or a classmate. After graduation Lee would like to go Navy Air.
