,424 f ,. , q P. , z , icii J t John Francis Gaddis Slippery, Mantis East Machias, Maine Marine Engineering Coming to us from the Downeast town of East Machias, Slippery displayed outstanding literary talent early in his freshman year. Although John was quiet, it didn't take us long to discover he was a crack student, a good athlete, and a financial wizard. Whenever John wasnit studying or trying to balance the class treasury, he could be found scurrying around the gym in his capacity as Assistant Athletic Director. Combining his knack for getting along with people and his technical knowledge, John was often called in to settle engi- neering disputes. The class does not have to wish John success in his chosen career, because suc- cess has the habit of following him in whatever he undertakes.

, xiii? I . Jeffrey Hudson Frank Frank-Frank Newark, Delaware Marine Engineering Jeff, one the true middies, spent most of his time in Old Town on weekends. For being from Maryland, he got home only three times a year. Jeff was the shy one of the bunch but We middies changed him quite a few ways even to modifying his southern drawl. But we have always wondered what his girl friend, Maryland, looks like. That little white Comet made a lot of trips around the country. There were the trips home, to Canada, Ron's camp, Bobby Harrison's, the Red Rooster, the Star Dust, etc .... All the 4'69'ers7' want to wish you the best of luck in the future, Jeff. Activities, Prop Club 4.
