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.

Dave will long be remembered by his classmates for his foreign port debut in front of the aguysf' If he ever lives that one down it will be a miracle. As associate and sports editor of the Trickis End, Dave's undying devotion and hard work helped to make this book possible. The class also owes him thanks for his contributions of proceeds, toward our Ring Dance, from the sale of pictures of our ship in Madeira. Besides his many activities, Dave has been one of the most determined and hard working engineers in our class. VVe all know that whatever he does attempt in the future will be a success and also will be a proud reflection on the Academy. Good luck and smooth sailing, Dave. 274 DAVID M.
