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

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

JAMES JOSEPH MOONEY, JR. 80 Tyndale Street Roslindale, Massachusetts Reverend Cadet Lieutenant, Newman Club, Football Manager, 20-20 Club, Shellback. At the beginning of our youngie year Jimmy could never be found when wanted for some menial chore. It wasn ' t until the cruise, when he became a permanent mem- ber of the galley staff, that we discovered he was still with us. It was during our second job year that the Reverend emerged as the leader of our spiritual life. As President of the Newman Club, he was forever trying to have us follow his example and return to the ways of the Lord. Not one to waste words, Jim managed to spend as little time as possible on the Bay State , claiming better opportunities for study at home. Nontheless, we wish Jim a rewarding future. WALLACE K. BARTLETT 83 Church Street Mansfield, Massachusetts Bart Football Co-capt, Shellback, Cadet Lieuten- ant, Muster Staff, P.M. Aquatic Club, Night Riders. The only man to enter the academy from a height of 40,000 feet, Bart dived complete with football uniform and chute. Outstanding athletic ability awarded Crescent half ownership in the football team. This plus two stripes in God ' s Little Acre , kept our boy busy. An avid member of the Pen-Pals Incorporated, Bart was usually good for a one-night stand. Not one to remain idle on weekends (when he didn ' t have the duty), Wally en- rolled in extension courses in teaching and nursing. Whether to choose a Baker-Nunn camera, or a Plath Sextant is the big decision now. In time the answer will come, and along with it best wishes for a prosperous future. 28
