Ronald Leland Sargent Sarge Saco, Maine Marine Engineering Although in this Academy there are many Captains, Commanders, and Lieu- tenants, there is but one Sargent,'. In his first two years Sarge was a big asset to the Cross-country team. He later gave up running to recite poetry, test-drive Vets, and stand squared away in- spections in dress canvasf' Sarge was Mr. Morale in the Class of '69. No other man backed the Academy sports program with more enthusiasm and spirit than did Sarge. But if there was a party there was Sarge, the wild Midshipman in the middle, really mixing' it up. Sarge represents one of the most memorable transitions ever witnessed from the mug year to D-1 Platoon Leader his senior year. Sarge was the truest of friends and a superb engi- neer.

David Anthony Ruberti Turtle, Robo Belfast , Maine Marine Engineering David is known as one of the more robust and jovial chaps in our class. Hence, the name Robo,' has been ap- propriately tacked on. An exceptional cartoonist, Dave gave up many hours of valuable time to make the signs and posters for our social func- tions, but he also could be found any- where that good food and music were present. A bug about jury-rigs, his room was a maze of buttons and switches, but Dave was also a fine student and engineer. We are all looking forward to seeing that Polka-Dot hat in the future.

He spent the inter- vening years trying to figure out, with questionable success, how to use it. He can't seem to understand how all that machinery Works Without feeding it oats. Scotty's known for his deep voice, his hard studying, his musical ability and his ability to say something in complaint about even the easiest test. I-Ie's been a fine classmate and We Wish him Well in all that he undertakes. Actiuitiesg Band 1,2,3,4.
