Z££Id r ' ' A ijj ly I.VJ1 k» ' ' jisliloii WALTER E. NOBLES Nyack, NY Thunder We knew Walter was bound for glory in green when he ar- rived from NAPS and set his sights on the Corps, Ahem! He proved to be a nocturnal room- mate, launching night assaults or enjoying a midnight snack He gained notoriety early, securing a spot on the 150 ' s team and be- ing elected Class Treasurer, a position he held for four years Walt gained invaluable ex- perience manipulating funds, which may account for nis being the only member of the class with a (Cadillac Seville and a full bank account! His selection as Brigade Commander Second Class year and Regimental Com- mander during Plebe summer came as no big surprise. As we said, he ' s bound for glory Best of luck Walter. Watch out for Cuamanese nurses, and don ' t forget the snake! CHRISTOPHER J. PERRY Essex Junction, VT With a hockey stick in one hand and a traffic ticket in the other, Chris left Vermont behind, much to the relief of the Vermont State Police, and ven- tured to USNA. Always a leader, it took Chris only one semester to show us how easy it was to earn an N, a black one of course! We really questioned his judgment when he chose Mech- E, a major he cursed along with its profs like the Rocket and Co , but never yielded to. Our Youngster year couldn ' t have been complete without the Saturday road trips in Chris ' escape mobile, which could be founa in a local parking lot Always one of the boys, the ice boys ' that is, the Company hockey puck skated his way to a letter sweater and nearly out of his major Second Class year we learn- ed how not to wear a black sock bag when reconning Main-O What would Army ' 80 be without our road tripper making his half dressed guest ap- pearance at the march over How d d vou get off that pre-game return bus to USNA ' (N-Star) Best luck in the wild blue of the air-dales. JOANNE MARIE POHEY Newton, KTA Jo Jo calls Newton, MA her hometown, although Cape Cod could be called home away from home, always a true beach bum at heart Potts hit 19th Co. with her winning smile and Boston ac- cent Its taken years for her roommate to teach her to talk Normal! Plebe and Youngster years saw her struggling with the 2 for 7 commitment, but old fashioned determination won Maybe it was earlv morn- ing logging (or was it Fnh ' n?) that made her appreciate USNA Unlike one of her class- mates, this early Ocean Engineer saw the benefit of weekends and decent grades Of course she changed to the ver ' similar ma- jor of Political Science!! Keeping with this tone, Jo |ust couldn t settle on a particular sport Track — well that ' s just like swimm- ing, and that ' s wet, so ot course that ' s just like crew! And what makes it worse — she was good in all three Social life you say — let it suffice to say, Which one is It this weekend, Jo? So now. Potts bides her time while waiting for the big day. May 30th But wait — graduation is tfie 26th What happens on the 30th, Jo??? JOHN K.PRICE Woodbury Heights, NJ J. P. John arrived from Perkio- men Prep School with a strong desire to explore the world of sailing. His love for boats seemed to center around an af- finity for foredeck action Unfor- tunately, his first command as well as his foredeck aspirations ran aground John was plagued by irritating problems such as disappearing cuff links, sleepless nights, and convincing his room- mates that powder showers are where it ' s at Of course, there was that nagging problem of how to get out of all the trouble his roommate got him into; a memorable night at Middleton Tavern, and an unforgettable night at Gate 3, to name but two The Army parties were great — just don ' t set us up with any more blind dates! Subs is the only way for you John, no Marine Corps wives and no Iranians Hope your days of diving in the deep blue are as fulfilling as your days at USNA Ooga-ooga, dive-dive. 322 Class of ' 82

MARK G. JANTZEN Liverpool, NY After surviving Plebe sum- mer with Goofy as Squad Leader, Mark entered academia, assaulting it with great en- thusiasm, which resulted in his high Brigade ranking To relax from Ocean Engineering, Mark lettered in water polo For three years, Mark participated in and enjoyed the team ' s many road trips. Another short road trip was Mark ' s drive around T-Court and down Stribling Walk. For Youngster cruise, Mark volunteered for a submarine, but resigned to be berthed on USS Mars, which recently returned from ramming exercises. Mark completed UDT SEALS training Second Class summer First Class cruise Mark visited the en- chanted islands of the Pacific San Miquel beer, LBFM, and jeepneys highlighted cruise Mark also volunteered for Orlan- do detail, where he really en- joyed his time (what was her name?) During Second Class year Mark made Brigade Admin Next, the Major offered him four stripes, but he turned them down to meet the challenges of a Squad Leader. We also picKed up a roommate Second Class year, who enjoyed driving people crazy Mark remained sane by throwing objects at Dick and tor- turing Phred, our pet mouse. As Mark ' s time here ends, hell join Rickover ' s Navy with TAD diving in Florida. Augah, augah, dive, dive, dive . . . MICHAEL LUCIANO Newberg, OR Lucky Lucky arrived at USNA with a stuffed squirrel in one hand, a regulator in the other, and never looked back. After devoting his life Plebe year to the proverbial CQPR, he breezed his way through academics as an Up- perclass by opening his boots once or twice a semester. Pursu- ing the good life as a Second Class, Mike opened Luciano ' s Pizzeria (always ready for a late night snack). He also spent his time chasing the fairer sex, in- cluding the invisible French ladv. Seeking excitement, he set- tled on a Honda Gold Wing and promptly trekked across the country and back again. Mike was a stalwart on the trap team To keep his trigger finger nimble, he became expert witn scissors, and the third wing barber shop lost all their business. First Class year saw him in the great escape from Doyle Hall. Finding that he loves wind in his hair, he is electing for it at Mach I as he goes up into the wild blue yonder. STEVEN BOYD MONTAGUE Detroit, MI Monty Big plans had been made for Steve before he arrived on 1-Day. He established himself early in the Company as an athletic sort by swimming some laps in the Reflection Pool after PEP one morning. He proved to have an affinity for sailing as well as aquatic mammals. Steve took off early in the Aero program and soared to the presidency of the AIAA. After getting his Second Class car pro- blems settled, Steve ' s weekends were spent in the foothills of Maryland. His obsession for girls with pretty eyes soon subsided and he returned to the 19th Company where he was finally recognized by the Company Of- ficer after three years. Wherever Steve ' s future lies, whether in the air or in the sea, may he find smooth sailing and may those demerits never catch up with him MAHHEW B. MGURY Lancaster, OH Matt Matt came to Canoe U from Lancaster, Ohio . . No . . . Anna Maria, Florida . . . No . . . Ohio ( Ma and Dad quit trying to ditch me! ) — no matter wnere he came from, he ' s a heckuva guy to know. He was a varsity golfer but decided to end that when he took time away from extracurricular activities! Yeah, and he had a good time Army weekend Plebe year: Baxter, what died? Company light- weights benefited from his sticky fingers and dancin ' feet — too bad the rest of the team couldn ' t perform He maintained a good standing as an Ocean Engineer but for a little hassle for being a geek sometimes. Matt got a lot of support (and headaches) from his hometown honey . . adds more of a challenge and some en- couragement to a unique ex- perience. Some good weekends of cutting loose with the bovs and his purchase of a 240Z proved Matt wasn ' t really all bad and that there was hope for him despite his academic tendencies. The Submarine Force has a lot to gain when Matt joins the team. Good luck to Admiral Cool. 19 Class of ' 82 321

Pete wasn ' t too thrilled about his first few weeks (or vears) at USNA, but he managed to play the game and make it Ihrougfi Pete had a way of mak- ing things fall into his lap He was always lucky and winning bets In four years he only lost once and that was a coin toss for a loaf of bread and a deuce But Mom took care of him, so no sweat He never had to study: he just opened his books and fooled everyone Pete could supple- ment his $90 a month income by charging Andy for help in Aero and for chow — SQUEAK Spring, youngster year: Pete shows off his new Porsche 924 by driving in the yard to visit the Dant His visitor ' s parking space anyway. Is the van still parked behind vou Pete ' Did you yard- mail the keys to Main (O)? Along with a marriage to the Navy 2 ' c year there came another commit- ment to a special young lady, but that one is not a five and outer. 2 c year was a breeze for him as C- and Mom ' s boy 1 c year was the best yet. Sleeping through quarters every day, giving Dave a hard time and counting down days till gradua- tion ADM Rickover ' s 30 hour a week study program introduced the study of human behavior for Pete. ' Best of luck Pete; with Nuke bucks, subs, and married life Eau Claire. VI Pete PETER DAVID SAUVE Bill came to the Severn River Yacht Club from VValpole, Mass.. in search of adventure and good times Finding the late nights a little boring. Bill donn- ed his renowned rubber mask and cape and spread terror among many a sleeping victim. Bill was one to spend as little time as possible in Bancroft, and could usually be found weight- lifting, glaring at a Mechanical Engineering book somewhere, or out visiting with his sponsors. Bill ' s love for YP ' s got him a per- sonal meeting with the Battalion Officer Really now, you can ' t blame a guy for being a crummy cook. Bill found his athletic niche in Company sports, excelling in soccer and football He was elected most likely not to lose his stocking cap in the wind. Bill had rather poor luck with black net sock bags, and spent a few weekends wondering how it all went wrong Always one to find the humor in things. Bill was a charter member of the Ice Boys. ' Hey Baxter, bet you can ' t lose 20 pounds VValpole, MA Swint WILLIAM SWINTON From the start of Plebe sum- mer, Reeta wasn ' t really sure what she had gotten herself into, but she gained a lot more con- fidence singing the USMC Hymn to everyone And so, Reeta stayed. Plebe year was rather uneventful — then there was Army. When it was time to choose majors Reeta wanted Resources Management, but when she talked to the Major about it the tiger turned into a pussycat and she decided (?) on Chemistry How many more hours of lab, Reeta? Youngster summer came, and so did the yippies Reeta had such a good time she was sure she would leave But Youngster year at Navy had a lot to offer, like watching the sailboats on Saturday nights and having mind boggling punch at Ar- my. Second year arrived and Reeta bravely took on the com- mitment, along with her new sporty Chevette She also changed from being one of the boys, like at the Garden State Bowl, to just Wu, and a lot more growing up happened when three roommates became two First Class year was full of events. At Service Selection Reeta chose Pilot ( good thing the Major wasn ' t around) Good luck Wu, the boys will be thinking of you. Peru. IN Wu REETA KAY WHITNEY Scotty Wha came to An- napolis from Texas, or was it Arkansas, or even Iran. He had that rare quality of being able to make anyone laugh at any time. Plebe year came easy to Scott as he moved into the ghetto and went to the first concert (The Doobie Brothers) in civies. His spring breaks took him to Myrtle Beach with Even Williams and the famous camping trip up into the Shenandoahs with the boys and J.D B J Baxter was probably Scott ' s biggest problem that he encountered here at USNA. B J hated studying and loved partying, as did Scott 2 c year brought Scott his one and only black N and a twenty- first birthday for everyone to remember except him and the gorilla The nng dance for Scott was about as traditional as you can get: a proposal to Norma in the gazebo on one knee! Norma, you picked yourself a true winner. After graduation and a June Week wedding, Scott and Norma will find themselves in sunny Pensacola. The best of luck to the both of you and may God bless you always Piano, TX Scottv Wha JEFFERY scon WILSON 19 Class of ' 82 323
