Michael J. Reid Mike Thorndike, Maine Marine Engineering And then there was the farm boy from Stickville, Maine, who came to M.M.A. looking for the leisurely campus life. Mike, the born lady killer, soon found it. He could always be seen out on the bay sailing with a crew of five or six friends. Our Second Battalion Yo-Yo, Mike was always in a pair of cut-offs in the Search of bennies, especially on Wed- nesday afternoons. During hunting season, Mike, the Aca- demy guide, was always in the thick of the shooting. Say-how's that bullet you stopped with your foot your senior year? A truly fine person and capable engi- neer, we wish you a happy and suc- cessful future. Activities, Intramurals 1,2, Yeoman 1,2,3,4, Second Batt. Adj. 4, Rifle Club 3, Secretary 4, Scuba Club 4, Yacht Club 4. 159

Alan West Reed Al Boothbay, Me. Marine Engineering Big AV, came to us from the coastal town of Boothbay Harbor. During his stay at M.M.A. he acquired many friends through his ready wit, easy going nature, and his willingness to help . a fellow classmate. He was always at the head of the line when a party was brewing. After a slight contact with the Boothbay police he has become a little leary of the boys in blue. He has had a good academic record and will make a fine engineer. His cheerful wit and personality will be missed by all his friends at the Academy. Good Luck, Big Al. Activities, Intramurals, Basketball, Soft ballg Assistant Patrol Leader. 158
