One glance at the above lines would leave no doubt in the reader's mind that here was the all-around boy. Joe was the driver on the team. He could man would like an athlete and gasoline in the football team's engine, the basketball floor, and the spark of the lacrosse be depended upon to do things that a bigger to do, but wouldn't dare to do. Here's to Joe, a real leader. May his later life be as full as his one at P. M. A. '10 L- Class Officers Q V v,,-.my ' .9'Q +g. DOMINICK NICKOLAS PANUCCIO 64-65 Wetherole St., Queens, N. Y. 3 years at P. M. A. Second Lieutenant '52, Varsity Football '49, '50, '51, Most Valua- ble Player '51, Varsity Swimming '50, '51, Co-Captain '52, Var- sity Lacrosse '51, '52, J. V.

If being a good guy to all and having more friends than one could count was a virtue of the gods, then Nick was certainly godly. Anywhere he went, sunshine, friends, and that girlfriend followed him. Panuch was a great competitor and on the football field he was the guy who got mad first and really dug out, that's if his nose allowed him to. That wasn't all he did well though, because the boy really could dive and it was a thrill to watch him flip and iackknife his way through the swimming season. Nick started his military career when he was unanimously elected plebe representative and he didn't stop until he had those officer pips. Here's good luck to a leader, an athletic headliner, and a grand guy.

Appreciation JAMES F. RITER First Lieutenant, U. S. A. R. E of the Senior Class wish to express the sincere appreciation that we owe Lieutenant Riter, our class adviser and assistant commandant. He devoted a great deal of his time to not only the class as a whole unit in its many social functions, but also to those individual seniors who looked to Lieutenant Riter for needed help and advice with their school and personal problems. When looking back with fond memories at our senior year at P. M. A., we shall not forget the man who helped make it the success it was-Lt. Riter, our class adviser. 21

TEDDY SINGER 28 Park St., Brookline, Mass. 5 years at P. M. A. Corporal '49, Honors 1, J. V. Football '48, '49, Newspaper Staff '52, Glee Club '52, Class Treasurer '49, '50, '51, '52. The senior class could not have chosen a more qualified treasurer than Ted. His skill in the handling and procuring of money, always a difficult task, was unequalled. He was our treasurer for four years and during that time our class funds were adequate and we were always solvent, so to speak. To Ted, the verbal discussion was the core and reason for ex- istence. He liked nothing better than to get his victim in a corner and lecture on anything from the economic situation of the country to the virtues of living in Boston. Though his home was in Boston, Ted spent most of his vacation time in Grand Central Station. With your love of people and fun, Ted, success will be yours in every endeavor. JAMES RICHARD COOK R. D. No. 3, Orange Lake, Newburgh, N. Y. 8 years at P. M. A. Maior '52, Battalion Adiutant '52, Varsity Football '48, '49, '51, J. V. Football '47, '50, Varsity Swimming '49, '50, '51, Co- Captain '52, Varsity Lacrosse '51, '52, J. V. Lacrosse '49, '50, Varsity Club 48, '49, '50, Treasurer '51, '52, Newspaper Staff '50, Gfee Club '48, '49, '50, '51, Varsity Boxing '47, Class Vice- President '48, Secretary '51, '52. Jim was as much a symbol to the class as the Old Oak is to the Academy. ,Athletics in particular was where Jim set an enviable record. He was a member of an undefeated boxing team, a once defeated football team, and in his senior year was co-captain of a very successful swimming team. Militarily, Jimmy possessed the finest qualities of leadership. This was exemplified by his commendable work as a platoon leader and his gaining the position of Captain Adiutant in his senior year. Although Jim was a Beau Brumell in his dress uniform, his first love in clothes were suspenders and green ties. Rather than give him awards for graduation, give him a Pat for life. 3'
