Gabe Troy, Maine Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4 Rifle Club 3 -c Gabe was noted for his immense desire for liberty and his frequent trips to Waterville, the Rotary Club, and more often to the local chicken farms. Gabe had the gift to argue which invariably forced him to Captainis Mast, both as prosecutor and defendant. He can truly boast, however, that he once had an argument with an All- American football player. Gabe was an ardent lover of sports, both as participant and as spectator. His baseball career was abrupty ended one night when he was caught smoking a cigar during study hall. But this didn't stop Gabe, because he then formed the fabled Gabrieletts of the Intramural Softball League where he brought them to the champion- ship both as player and general manager. A few errors at short stop and first base canceled the former however, and left him solely as General Manager. Gabe was infamously noted for his ability to spit marbles and also the saying: :Tm in a nickelf' It must be noted also that Gabeis outstanding leadership qualities earned him the respect and admira- tion of all the underclassmen! We all feel that he will be an attribute to any company lucky enough to draft him and we all wish Gabe the best of Luck. 244 ' CIOHN J. GABRIEL Baseball 1, 2 Football 2 Yacht Club 3, 4 Prop Club 4

X X .7 t. aaaaaaa Freddy and his brother Snack Bar are the two great success stories from Pittsfield, Maine. Freddy is a great lover of sports but also of good grades so he traded in his dream of becoming a varsity sport hero for a lesser fame as the go-getter kidv of intramural sports. Weekends found Freddy making love to a bulldozer by day and traveling many miles at night to such places as Greenville, Dexter, Guilford or Where was it Freddy? 'P 'P After four years of studies we bet that there- will be one weekend that Freddy will enjoy staying at the Academy. Graduation will be his victory and two of this challenges will be to get his Chief Engineeris ticket before his brother does and also not to get married before his roommate. Best of Luck to an outstanding classmate and a fine friend from the Class of '66. 243
