Spending his Senior year at AMA as a new cadet, he is one of the best in the schoo]. Carlos loves to dance and sing, and each cadet has found that he is willing to help them at any time of the day or night. Quiet, polite, and always dreaming about be- coming an engineer, he wants to settle in Caracas, and marry—Dorothy Malone! If he is as prompt with his college work as he has been in falling in before reveille, he’ll get both of his wishes. AMA . on Enrique MANugEtL BontLia San Salvador, E] Salvador Private, 1, 2; Cotillion Club, 1. “Hoppy” has confined his extra- curricular activity to “sack” time. Truly one of the quietest cadets in the school, he well deserves the nickname Col. Deane gave him—Smiley, for whether he is in a group or alone, he always manages to have a smile. His ambition is to go to the University of Miami where he will be closer to his home, which is constantly on his mind, and where he can learn to water ski. Wherever ‘“Hoppy”’ goes, he'll make friends with his good humor and smile, Hoppy 31 te, ay a RECALL Prpro Jose CEDENO Caracas, Venezuela Private, 1; Baseball, 1. “Peche,” one of ‘“B” Company’s finest new cadets, is a rabid baseball and Venezuelan music fan. Every boy has found a fast friend in this boy who de- cided to enroll at AMA for his senior year. “Peche” has become well known for his laughs, his romances at Fairfax Hall, and for his high grades in Trig. Ambitious, hard-working and sincere, he will make a fine engineer, a credit to his Alma Mater and to his country. o 7 : . ee oo Peche

Diego’s the boy who can dance just about any dance known to man, from the mambo through rock and roll. There just isn’t an equal on the dance floor. “Tony” helped carry the AMA tennis team through two years of varsity play, and did a fine job on the championship rifle team. In two years, he has mastered English and we feel he'll get his great wish—to be an engineer.

Only one person could be talking—‘ Mad Dog”. Steve’s the boy who never loses his sense of humor. It makes no difference to Steve whether he is working on the coal pile or marching, he still has a joke to tell. Steve has great potentials, yet to be tapped. When Steve puts his foot on the gas, he will go a long way in life.

Bill, by far the largest cadet in the graduating class, has used his height to the greatest advantage on the football field and the basketball court. In his first season as a varsity basketball star, he has made the games a pleasure to watch. Better known as just plain “Babs”, he is truly the wittiest cadet at Augusta. Although he does not show it, Bill is one of the most sincere boys in the Corps. A very good student, Babs is bound for future honors. Babs

Company and Stuart Hall have been Dizzy’s main problems this year. Yet, if you see Diz, he will be on Cloud Seven. One thing is certain, old Dixon has a sense of humor which he retains at all times. For three years, he was in- valuable on the Decorating Committee, and for the past two, he has been one of the top men on the Rifle Team. In fact, he fired 290 in competition and 292 in practice. Few boys have as many friends as Diz, and he’ll be missed when he ven- tures to U. Va. next year! SENIORS 1 Raymonp AppIson Fausion Bethesda, Maryland Private, 1; M Sgt., 2; Lacrosse, 2; Swimming, 2; Roller Rifles, 2; Cotillion Club, 1, 2 Every Thursday night, rain or snow, Ray dresses up just like a sailor and hee ads for the Naval Res erve Meeting at Fishersville. He is already following in his father’s footsteps, for his Dad is a Captain in the Naval Medical Corps. “Squirrel”’ is one of the Maryland hill- billys who has ventured down to the Old Dominion to seek a better education. His interest in tape recordings and motor- cycles occupy Ray’s spare time. He’s heading for Annapolis, and we know he’ll make it, for he is the most improved cadet at Augusta. Sercio Ropricguez FERNANDEZ Manzanillo, Oriente, Cuba Private, 1; Baseball, 1; Tennis, 1; Cotillion Club, 1 Sergio is by far the best-looking Spanish boy who has ever attended Augusta. All of the girls at the Hall will agree on that. As one of “A” Company’s better new sadets, he has shown that there is a soft spot for Augusta in his heart already. He is one of the finest gentlemen at AMA, and has proved that he has what it takes to be a success. Speaking no English at all in September, he has mastered the language quite well in his short stay with us. Keep up the good work, Sergio. 956 % e oun ®: tad 8 ie i, s i a oe Ob a HEB Dizzy Squirrel Serge =f 32 jf eta odiiat —— ee = = = = = = == “ |
