PAUL DENNIS HENNIGAN 71 Capen Street Milton 87, Massachusetts Digger Cadet Lieutenant, Ring Dance Chairman, Muster Staff, Neivman Club, Sailing Club, Shellback. Coming to us from an illustrious career of laying the poor departed to rest, Digger immediately dug into his youngie year with enthusiasm. Not one to take abuse, he was always fighting for his rights, especially those concerning filling his stomach. Emerging as a class leader, he organized many of our class social functions, being rewarded for many jobs, well done, with two stripes in watch II. He kept his engine room shiny as his nose and the smile on his face. Being a barber, he found the short cut through the chain of command and solved many problems in rapid fashion. To Paul we wish smooth sailing on his yacht, a full plate, and a reward ing career in whatever he chooses. MICHAEL H. DENNIS 8 Colliston Road Brighton, Massachusetts Mike Circle K President, Muster Staff, Chaos Committee, Birdland Lounge, Horizontal Club, Gull Society. Good morning, everybody. It ' s good to be alive, isn ' t it? Yes, the most cheerful and affable member of our class had risen to a new day with his customary good humor. With a kind word for most, the terror of the Coast Guard was never with- out a comment for all. His nautical prowess soon elevated Mike to become the father, mother, sun, and moon to those fortunate enough to come under his command in Happy Valley . His next stint in the Coast Guard should be an active one and we hope this time it will be longer than six months. 26

EDWARD TIMONEY 11 Clayton Street Watertown, Massachusetts Tim Honor Guard, Ring Committee, Ring Dance Comm. Cadet Lieutenant, Muster Staff, Shellback. On THAT day, 3 years ago, a young man walked through our portals followed by three bearers carrying pies, potato chips and crescent wrenches, respectively. Although thoroughly versed on the theo- ries of Reno King, when the time came, Ed decided to breach new horizons through a sextant. Despite the handicap of work gloves and starched work shirts, Tim was awarded the big two in Navy Division. No matter which is first, Navy or the Merchie, we know as long as M is above G you ' ll never be far from Tipping. RICHARD CHARLES TAUTKUS 63 Spruce Street Abington, Massachusetts Rat Cadet Lieutenant, Honor Guard, Chairman of Ring Comm., Muster Staff, St. Lucia Jail, Shellback. Meekly prancing through the hallowed gates of MMA came Dick dragging a long pair of apron strings. It was not long be- fore he officially became known as the Rat, and settling down to the normal routine of the Academy, he was soon found attracting the attention of the upper jobs. A tempo- rary stinger was felt by Dick during the first term, but it was soon overcome and he went to the head of the class. During the second class cruise the Rat made some radi- cal changes and left his boyhood ideas for those of a man. He was always making new friends that still can be found in some of the leading hotels in Castries and in those overlooking the Panama Canal. Dick will never forget those friends. Many of the leisure hours away from the academy were spent in the Hingham Social life, only to be distracted by the Call of the Wild. He could always be relied upon for one of his exciting experi- ences in the forest.

DAVID L. HOWES Whig Street Dennis, Massachusetts Bogger Cadet Lieutenant, Shellback, Gull Society, Track Team, Horizontal Club. What ' s that strange rig across the canal, A breeches bouy? Yes, it ' s the Bogger escaping from the Cod Island Republic to join the mainlanders at the maritime acad- emy. Dave came aboard armed with a lob- ster license, a quick wit, and a great desire for a set of beach gear. Dave ' s great respect for authority and undying devotion to duty won him top hon- ors as supervised life boat lowerer when it came time for the honors to be handed out. We know that with this great experi- ence and his great ability, Dave will rise to great heights in the maritime field. LEONARD ARTHUR CAIGER 93 Baker Street West Roxbury, Mass. Spooky Cadet Lieutenant, Birdland Lounge, Muster Staff, Band, Shellback, P.H. Folly. Eighty-six — the Bay State is haunted ! This was the cry that echoed to the depths of the Bay State when Lazarus arrived on board. Since that date, there have been few pieces of machinery aboard that have escaped the prying searches of his inquisi- tive hands. A very industrious person, Fritz was awarded two stripes and the position of leader in the P-H Folly. His artwork in this year ' s Muster is a source of amusement to all and embarrassment to some — as a glance through the yearbook will prove. Lenny enjoys life to the fullest; from his notorious sorties to and from the academy on weekends, to the annual cruises when he could always be found Spooking the Chinamen in the laundry. With his sharp engineering knowledge — and sharper pen — he will go far in his sea- going career. 27
