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.

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

JOHN STANDLEY y lack Amesbury, Massachusetts Baseball 1, 2, 3 Basketball 1 Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4 Rifle Club 3 E One of the quietest and best liked men in the senior class was lack Standley. Although seldom heard, he was noted for always being where the action was. Being the reserved Middie that he was, Jack seldom jumped at the chance to become the limelight or the center of attraction. He usually waited for everything to quiet down, then would drag out his trusty electric guitar and entertain himself, as well as the few who stayed, with his flawless compositions of the choicest melodies. When the chips were down, jack could always be counted on to bring back the spirits of those depressed. Over the past four years, Jack has won the admiration of all his classmates by being a true and devoted Middie. Although he was recognized as being a full-time trooper, jack was one who had a knack for staying out of trouble. His major problem was protecting his roommates most of the time from that evil linger of fatef, Jack was one of the few men at the Academy who knew when to play and when to study. This is clearly evident by his keen engineer- ing abilities and his good grades. We are all sure that with his knowledge in the Maritime field and his excellent personality and character, Jack will go a long way up the road of success. Good luck and smooth sailing. 291
