PAUL BRUNDRETT - Paul has been at MMA for five years, and slid through Ramadagate without a scratch. He was also able to be a Captain twice in one year - A Company and the Red Plague of 76. We wish Paul all the luck at Texas A8nM. KEVIN THOMPSON - Congratulations on making Cadet of the Month. With this kind of study we know that you are going to be successful at whatever you attempt. Keep hammering away - Deadeye. 36 l DAVID PORTER - Known to his friends as Bwana, he is the only person we know who can be riding his bike up Mt. Kila- manjaro one day and the next be riding the waves in California. He got the worst football injury of '75 during practice. Good luck, Port, at Purdue or Nairobi U. MARK INGRAM - Known for his smiling face and charming voice, Mark has made a big hit with us there. As for your future, we don't know how you're going to fit your tuba into the cockpit of an F-4 Phantom, but you will find a way. Good luck.

PAT HOUGHTON - Reverend as he is known by many, is one of the most self controlled of all the Seniors. The calm- ness of his voice can lull you to sleep or fill you with excite- ment, yet we have only to say one key word and the Devil takes hold of ol' Rev! - that word is Karen. Good Luck Pat. JIM GERNAND - Gerney is another member of the six year gang: born in Sick Bay he's been here for many years. What has kept him from going nuts? Surely we could only guess, but it could be his unknown whereabouts on the weekends, or a certain young lady named MARY. We wish him lots of luck at either Texas Tech or Central Michigan University. JOHN MCKISKI - Mr. Flyboy must have logged more air time in his two years at the Academy than class time. It is not that he was in an airplane that much, but it always seemed to us that when the landing gear touched down his mind was still in the clouds. We know John will fit right into Emery Ridde1's Formation. l l 1 , .V GARY BRISKIE - MAD DOG finally cracked this year CHe was cracked the other three years also lb but that's not unusual in D company. At night you could hear his famous last words, Don't hide it, divide it. No one knows where he's going or what he'll do CEXCEPT PARTYJ so good luck, Bri- skie. 35

LEE LOMBARD - Another of the lifers here at the Academy, Lee has come up with some of the most far fetched Sea Stories you could wish to hear, but don't wish because Old Lomby at times can force you to break out the waidersg you'll never find a better friend than Lee no matter how hard you look. We can only wish Lee the best of luck, and say you may have the mouth of a politician, but sure you have heart of a lion. Take it as it comes Radiation at Texas A and M , and best of luck with Linda . F' WALTER ROSS - Zeke to everyone, is known for his spee- tacular high diving, and even for his running abilities. He'd make a sick frog laugh on his death bed. CWe think he has a couple of timeslj. We wish all the luck in the world to Zeke, and his pet turtle. ROBERT EDDLEMAN - Little Sweg came to the Academy with everything going for him. First he was put into A Co. , and second his cousin was the company commander, but the best laid plans of mice and men don't always work. You see one of the most spectacular things to happen in Bob's second year at the Academy was the first streak off the M.A.A. pool's high dive. Unfortunately for Bob he was the streaker and the S.D.O. was the streakie. We can only hope L.S. improves his diving style. JOE PETRY - .Toe has been one of the party boys here at the Academy for four years now, and it looks like he might not stop come graduation. Joe is the type of person you can tell the day of the week with. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Joe is a kind, happy and easy going fella, but come Monday thru Thursday, stand back, 'cause a monster bigger and meaner than King Kong is on the loose. Take it easy KONG!
