JOHN H. CASHMAN lA Prairie Street West Concord, Massachusetts Angles Cadet Ensign, Muster, Horizontal Club. From the green tables of West Concord High came the boy with all the angles. Jack ' s first outstanding feat during his stay here was to read a book. Not just any old book, but the book. Shortly thereafter, during our second class cruise, the theories of this epistle were put into action. Success- ful they were ! Even to the extent of a stripe in 3rd Division for his efforts. However, all good things must come to an end, and this ran true to form. A born talker and firm believer in the principles of Maverick, we feel Jack will fill any inside straight that heads his way. i3 ARVID FRANK SUNDQUIST 18 Marion Street Hingham, Massachusetts Harpo Cadet Ensign, Baseball Manager, Shellback, Horizontal Club, Night Rider, 20-20 Club. Blazing out of Hingham on his cycle, averaging 85 MPH, came the only veteran hat-man of our class, Arvid War Story Sundquist. Jimmy, Mario, and George were his idols, from whom he gained his great quality to carry out what he says he ' s going to do. Squeaking through his first two years he almost stumbled on a high hurdled Naval Science course in his final year, but he blazed across the finish line. His numerous companions included one whose head was run over by a steam roller, Miss Freon 12, one who is only known by the shooting down of a lamp shade, and finally Miss Southern Charm, who has con- verted Harpo to the Biloxi Bombers. We wish Harpo all the luck in the world with his first job on the Delta Lines sailing out of OLD MISS. 29

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

I. ERNEST SCOTT DEWIS 971 Worcester Road Natick, Massachusetts Sweat Cadet Ensign, Honor Guard, Circle K Vice- President, Shellback, Alpine Club. Jovially bouncing up the gangway one ominous August morning, came our boy Ernie, ready to tame the world and twice as wild. Hard working and industrious, he loved a little fun. After straightening out a few cases of mistaken identity, from which he emerged unscared (almost), he spent most of his time telling us about those cruises — especially the one to the islands. Ernie was never one to sluff off on the books though, and we can remember many a night when he was boning up on the old Ships Co. and Navsci. But all ' s well that ends well, and with your smiling disposition Ernie, you are bound for the top. MICHAEL G. SWEENEY 140 Cottage Park Road Winthrop, Massachusetts Nebbish Cadet Ensign, Rifle Club President, Ring Committee, Chaos Committee, Muster Staff, Circle K. Forsooth, a dragon cometh! In the guise of a Nebbish, Miguel Swenya — Terror of the Pampas and famous Latin Lover — appeared at our doorstep. Undaunted by his slow start, Mike soon proved his worth. Favorably endowed with a fine sense of rhythm, though a little off in his timing, Sweens nonetheless managed to come out on top, and for his efforts, was rewarded with one stripe and the custody of the Ship ' s Mascots. We feel sure that in the years to come, our rolly-polly Apollo with his navigational prowess, will never go down at sea. 30
