4 'Q if l t fi q i Stephen Nils Wikstrom Wik Skaneateles, New York Nautical Science Steve, better known as Wik, is perhaps best remembered as the man with the attache case, and there was often rather vigorous speculation on what was carried in that bag. Wik was a studious person, who could always be counted on for the right answer on most any subject. Connoisseur of fine old ships, and lover of the sea, Wik will surely be one of the first of us to win those coveted Master's papers.

Elwood Curtis Wilbur, Jr. Woodyi' Hampton, New Hampshire Marine Engineering Out of the very civilian sands of Hampton Beach to the not so civilian sands of Castine Beach came Woody', Wilbur. He seemed a little timid at first, but for some reason he managed to fit into the everyday gross-outs that the boys knew so well. One good thing to remember about Woody is that no matter how much temptation was presented before him, he never took one drink! Two or more, but never one. Also he had an immense tact when it came to women. He was always kind, considerate, and well spoken in the finer circles. He gained a letter on the gridiron asa frosh, but as most Middies go, so went Woody. Everyone liked Woody, though! Especially Buzzy, via the Hsecret con- ference . And who can boast of more than 18 guard rails at once. Don't look for Woody at sea, just go to UNH. Best of luck to a real fine sport.

,Mfr , Eric Donald Wilcox R.P Rangeley, Maine Nautical Science . The other one. Ric came to us from the town f?J of Cupsuptic. Yes, in Maine. With him came the Malibu, a car which gained in reputation as fast as its owner. When Ric couldn't be located, it was usually said, Find Ken and you'll find Ric, or vice-versa. lt has been said that he was once the recipient of the MGM Award, for his out- standing accomplishments. And no write- up of Ric would be complete if Donna, the girl who has been the subject of many a conversation, was not included. Many a time was Ric torn between the hunt and Donna. ln his Senior year as Regimental Ex- ecutive Officer he was industrious, hard- Working, and did much to improve the standards of the Academy. Many under- classmen found the true meaning of justice before his desk. To Ric we wish the best of luck and calmest of seas.
