PAUL RICHARD LOPES 250 Shaw Road Fairhaven, Massachusetts Chico Cadet Ensign, Cross Country Captain, Des- peration Quartet, Circle K, Ring Dance Committee, Shellback. After a brief swim, our boy Paul arrived aboard the Bay State with gloves, sweat socks, and some strange ideas. Many of us owe much to his capable hands, for without them justice would have prevailed. Chico wasted no time after taps, and was soon noticed as a very able seaman. True recognition came when Paul was selected for a stripe. It was well deserved, at least according to his classmates. To Paul we wish the best of luck, but with his unusual abilities, we doubt that he ' ll need it. ROBERT BRUCE CHEYNE 230 Main Street Foxboro, Massachusetts Tiger Cadet Ensign, Band, Bowling, Alpine Club, Shellback. Meow ! Out of the wilds of Foxboro comes the cry of tiger, the self -supposed terror of his third class subordinates. Reporting on board back in August of ' 59, Bob was bound and determined to be a good youngie. Never having been to Europe, Bob looked forward to his youngie cruise as an educational and cultural experience. Yes, he learned many things, ranging from exotic Spanish dances in Valencia, to how to fight Roman traffic on a motor bike. But of all his cruises, this year ' s proved to be the most interesting to him; St. Lucia no doubt stands foremost in his mind. Who knows, we may find Old Clapper Cat right back down there after graduation. Well, whatever he does, we wish him the best of luck and know that our cadet ensign and steam martinet will be as beloved by his superiors, peers, and subordinates in any future service he chances. 31

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

WILLIAM MICHAEL MALLETT 27 Mountain Avenue Melrose, Massachusetts Duck Cadet Ensign, Chaos Committee, Football, Circle K, Muster Staff, Ring Committee. Winging his way South, as all good ducks do each fall. Bill landed on the decks of the Bay State and decided to pleasure-cruise it for a while. Not all was pleasure-cruising for our web footed friend, but he soon main- tained his study average at a respectful level, and through hard work and perse- verance, found himself the owner of one stripe. Among his many outstanding traits, there is the one which is known and beloved by all. This infamous characteristic has en- abled Bill to put a finishing touch on any topic held forth for discussion. The main topics of Bill ' s discourses were concerned with Religion, politics, and other subjects dear to his heart. The Duck always had the show stopper whether in phraseology or songwriting. A personable young man and a staunch seaman, his classmates wish him the best of luck, but with his lifelong friend, L W. Harper, we are all sure that he will succeed. RALPH D. WARREN 1 Pickering Street Salem, Massachusetts Spike Cadet Ensign, Circle K, Muster Staff, Shell- back, Baseball, Football (Manager), Phi ReKappa Tread. One of the more quiet and studious mem- bers of the class, Spike ' s knack for manage- ment has been proven time and time again. He even managed to get accepted to the exclusive Phi ReKappa Tread Fraternity. In our first class year. Spike was given the honor of becoming the first Athletic Squad Cadet Officer. Along with the newly formed Athletic Board, Spike did a com- mendable job under the circumstances. Only once did our boy deviate from the straight and narrow. However, thanks to the timely arrival of the Bunny Bread man, justice — in a sense — prevailed. Good luck in the future, Spike, be it a farm in Kalamazoo or flight school at Pensacola.
