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.

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

CARL EARLE HINDLE 113 Reed Road Westport, Massachusetts Carl Baseball, Football, Horizontal Club, Weight- lifting Club, Band (Master). Like a bull moose after the spring thaw, Carl entered the academy with one thought, Do or Die! With sax in hand he soon rose to become the leader of the illustrious band. Although we didn ' t quite measure up to the standards of the Alantis, Carl could often be heard expounding on the virtues of MMA whether walking or sleeping. Carl proved himself invaluable to his class in many of our ports of call and we know he will do the same, be it the Merchies or the Navy. Go get ' em, Bambi. THOMAS REYNOLDS AYLESBURY 44 Howard Road Medford, Massachusetts Terrific Football, Baseball, 20-20 Club, Horizontal Club, Newman Club, Shellback. The little toy soldier strutted onto our parade grounds that fateful day, straight from the campus of his many prep schools. It didn ' t take him too long to find the deals and shortcuts in our third class year. Tom ' s athletic ability also favored him in the eyes of the first-classmen and he found himself with extra liberties. When it came time for us to depart on our cruises, we found that Tom had some strings at- tached to the dock that were pretty hard to part from ; those cruises never went too fast for him. Now, however, we are getting ready for our C.G. exams, and Tom is very busy pre- paring for the future. We all know, no mat- ter what Tom decides to take, his Ipana smile and perseverance should pull him and the strings through to the best things possible. 33
