ROBERT I. SOPER Oakland, Maine Ban 1 2, 4 Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4 Fox 3. ,- Our beloved Fox was probably one of the most popular and well liked men in our class. His general knowledge on any subject under the sun ceased to amaze us after the first semester of our mug year. He could always be counted on to give us the answer to any question we were baffled with, and then some. Although he had aged quite a bit during his four years at the Academy, as was readily evident by his conversational re-seeding hair-line, he was always the first one to drag up a chair for a game of whist. Being a card sharp was second nature to him, or so it seemed, and his bids were always high to keep the boys on their toes. The Machine Shop was Bobis second home as he made good use of his spare time by running off pieces of work and craftmanship that even industry wouldn't dare to attempt. As time went on though, Mr. Mayois increasing demands soon put a stop to the Fox's escapades in the factory and to Bud we leave the distinction of being the only Fox to out-fox the Fox! To a great engineer and a swell classmate, the Class of '66 proudly wishes success to you Bob, in anything you attempt. 289

Greek i Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4 Color Guard 4 Dick, commonly known as the Creek, hails from the summer wonderland of Old Orchard Beach. Claiming residences in two states was a trick learned by trade which entitled him to an extra week off during the vacation periods. By the way Greek, did you ever make it to the Carolinas for your vacations? The Creek has made many friends during his four year stay at the Academy. No one will ever forget his fun loving, care-free attitude which brought most of us unforgettable memories ranging from Panama and Barbados to Lisbon and Valencia, not to mention such places as Newport and Quebec. If anyone ever wanted the Greek for anything he could usually be found between the sheets, behind a deck of cards, or stacking those jazz L.P.,s on the turntable, but if help was ever needed by any of his classmates, he could always be counted on to lend a helping hand. When it came to studies the night oil was usually burning in F -3 with a CC license as his goal- Best of Luck, Greek, in your future. WVe are sure youill make a fine engineer. 290 RICHARD C.
