RALPH HENRY KINDELBERGER After leading an exemplary life in fiigh scfiool. Rock migrated to the Academy from Wlonroevilie, Pennsylvania. He is renowned for fiis phenomenal luck and his bouts with the academic de- partments. His musical tastes in the light classics (Country West- ern) have always been the talk of the company. Rock is perhaps one of 69 ' s most easy-going and jovial members. His good spirits and carefree attitude are the envy of everyone. His freindly bearing, however, is lost on the athletic field where he becomes a fierce competitor. Of outstandingly strong athletic prowess, his tremendous drive, natural intelligence, and individuality will assure him of a very successful career. ROBERT KUGINSKIE Ski came to the Academy after two years in the Navy with a great deal of native intelligence and common sense. Academics were never any problem for him (just remember F=ma ) and he breezed through with a minimum of effort or organization. Applying skills acquired in childhood. Ski fought both Batts and Brigades and well upheld the reputation of Shamokin, Penn- sylvania. Rarely seen without a cigarette. Ski was aslo undisputed coffee drinking champ. In his earlier years he was quite a mover but this came to a screeching halt after 3 c year. Being an ex-submariner, anyway, and not known for his sense of direction (as evidenced by one night in Philadelphia) Ski should have a promising tour on the boats. JAMES WILLIAM LATHAM During his tenure at USNA, Moose excelled in every aspect of his education — academics, sports and aptitude. He has distinguished himself as hard worker in all of his endeavors. Jim was always willing to help a friend, as was evidenced by the well worn path to his desk during study hour. His excellence carried into athletics as well. He has been a top man on the Brigade boxing team for four years and always right in there helping those company sports. Moose ' s fine achievement and easygoing per- sonality have gained him the friendship and respect of all those who knew him. He will surely be a welcome asset to the Navy and to all who are associated with him. JAMES BRUCE MclLVAINE Jim came to the Naval Academy from Canton, Ohio. Jim wasted no time in giving the academic departments a good working over by gaining his stars right off, which he has kept right along. In order to keep himself from becoming bored with the easy academics, Jim joined the Cha pel Choir, the Glee Club, the NA-10 and the Concert Band besides being a member of Sigma Pi Sigma. During the afternoon, Jim could be found playing com- pany Softball, football, soccer or volleyball, along with his favorite sport of girl watching, Jim will go a long way in the Silent Service or any louder one he gets into. GEORGE STEVE MclNCHOK After four years of outstanding performances in academics at Derry Area High School in Pennsylvania, Skip came to the Naval Academy eager to pursue these paths of excellence. His grades began to climb as he spent many late hours pouring over his Aero books. Athletically, Skip was one of the permanent fixtures in the weightroom and rounded out his program with Plebe and J.V. football, company Softball and volleyball. It soon became evident that as hard as Chok worked, he still knew how to relax on weekends. His determination, dedication and straightforwardness will surely make him a leader of men and a definite asset to the service. 434

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.

WALTER WINFIELD PRICE, III When he was just entering second grade, Winn ' s father ( ' 42) was transferred to the Naval Academy. From that time on he had his sights set on the goal of graduating from the trade school. It was sometimes an elusive goal, as Winn was never anxious to let studying interfere with his education. Academic skirmishes were as frequent as 4 week grading periods. However, Winn left his mark on the tennis counts, losing once in four seasons of intramural competition. An engrained love of the sea left him as one of the almost extinct breed of voluntary surface liners. June of ' 69 will find a dedicated Ensign with his sights on a new target. ) A t
