This young man has achieved the most spectacular firsts of any at this Academy. Who else do you know that has lost a rate twice and gotten it back for a third time, or has meticulously constructed a beauteous ilirtation walk which never was used or went A.W.O.L. and risked a career just to see a sweetheart who wasn,t waiting after all? One can feel only sympathy for Pete. His car faithfully served the Mass. raiders for three years and finally died of a broken block. Sit down and listen to Pete. He's a story teller by nature, but his stories are true and they'll make you want to become a part of them. Let him tell you of his exploits around the countryside of Maine, or of his weekends at the Cape, and you'll know what we mean. His wit and infectious laughter are a Wonderful uplift to the drudgery of a military academy. His drive and determination have placed him number one in the list of Academy greats. His undying devotion and his inability to turn down a plea for help are only a few of his many leadership qualities. His earnestness and desire to do the best possible, will carry with him throughout life insuring him a great success. Peter, the Class of '66 will always proudly be behind you. 270

Check Superintendentis List 1 Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4 'V-...ffl U I . Q. 2 Coming to Castine from such far corners of the world as the Canal Zone, Mass., and N. Y., check brought with him a love for the better things in life. Unfortunately the Rules and Regs of the Academy often stifled this love, with it's many disciplinary restric- tions. During our freshman year Erik's love for the ship's engine spaces was definitely ascertained as he could be found around the campus putting in many extra Weekends of fine free labor for the opportunity to work. All voluntary, right Check? There are not many of us that will easily forget Check's Canadian Express route in that modified home-on-wheels. Erik's desire to increase our international relations with our neighbors in the north wzis finally brought to a disastrous end in a fire at a quaint roadside ca e. Academically Erikis life was easier than were his other ways at M.M.A. Always displaying a bit of engineering skill and mechanical knowhow. To Erik, good sailing to one snipe who will always keep. the props turning. 272 ERIK J.
