d Herb. ' Portland, Maine Drill Squad 1, 2, Color Guard 4 Herb came to us from the iish meal plant in Portland. It seemed that nothing was more important to him than his liberty. Restrictions and duty meant nothing to him, for somehow he managed to always secure a means of escaping his beloved school. Hardly a Friday, and sometimes earlier, went by without one of Herbis Plymouths screaming down the Castine '500' at a horrible pace destined for such remote places as Vermont College and more recently, Boston. One of our more articulate classmates, Herb earned our gratitude by representing the Academy as a member of the sharp senior Color Guard throughout the State, in New York, Washington and New Orleans. Professionally, he earned the reputation of a first rate operating engineer. We all wish Herb the best of luck in his travels and may calm waters lead the way. 280 HERBERT T. PORCH

ANDREW P. PICARD Unity Plantation Baseball 2, 3, 4 Intramurals 2, 4 Andy ef. ' 1,1 1 ffl Andyis' innocent and friendly attitude and unawareness of military procedure was realized almost immediately upon entering the Academy when he simply replied to the question, What,s your name, MUG?'? with Andy, sirf, t A Yes, thisiwas Andy, the newest addition to M.M.A. straight from the hills of Unity Plantation. His unawareness towards military procedure seemed to plague him throughout his stay at M.M.A. as evidenced by his haircut Warning from the superintendent while rounding first base during an intramural softball game. Andy had an outstanding abilityfyto gain and hold someone's admiration. There wasnit a single person at the Academy with whom he didn't get along. His friendliness was nearly his academic downfall as Andy would much rather visit during study .hall than study, especially during hunting season when the tall tales were told and the weekend hunt was planned. We wish Andy the best of luck in the years to come, knowing that he,ll live to a ripe old age with a large family. 279
