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.

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. We all know Sarge 'twill fill the un- forgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run?

i 1 KV ff' E Thomas M. Seel Tom Jamaica, N.Y. Marine Engineering Through Tom's four years at the Academy he has continually demon- strated the qualities of a capable leader. As a freshman Tom set his goals high and as a member of the cross country and track teams showed enthusiasm and. determination that ran true throughout his four years. A gung-ho member of the Yacht Club, Tom's love and knowledge of sailing brought him the coveted position of Commodore of the Yacht Club and Skipper of the Windrose in his senior year. In many tight spots while his crew stood frozen in panic it was always a comfort to see the cool, calm, collected, skipper standing at the helm screaming orders at the top of his lungs. A keen knowledge of the engine room and practical seamanship make Tom one of the most well rounded mariners in the class. Best of luck Tom. We're sure youill be a credit to the company of your choice.
