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.
