VINCENT BARRA Brooklyn, New York 'lGinsof' or Yogi,,' as we all know him. has been an ardent leader in our class for the past four years: as a Fourth Classman the King's Point raid, as a Third Classman, the Baseball Team as a Second Classman, membership in the infamous 'CQHH and Bfirtts Hat, and, Hnally, as a First Classman, the P. R, Drill Team, Common sense has carried this small athlete a long way from the Admiral's List to conduct pro. 3 His Second Class Cruise to Oslo almost cost him his Cltiyenshi in Brooklyn. J P Yogi has never gone unnoticed or unheard, and we doubt that the Merchant Marine or graduation will ever change him.

BATTLE Bronx, New York From the Bronx came Jerry, so close to the Fort that he could commute if he were allowed, and on occasion he did. He spent his mug year hard at the books and as a very active member of the Pershing Rifles. He was rewarded for his hard work by being chosen Company Commander of the Pershing Rifles in his First Class Year. One will never forget Jerry because he is about the only cadet to stop at every bar in every port visited during three cruises. He him- self will never forget the many hours chipping and painting Cdr. De Simone's safe on his Second Class Cruise. The next three years, his time was taken up with more books, the PR,s, and most im- portant, Kathy. Jerry's future plans include Kathy and the Mer- chant Marine.

ERIC D. AANESTAD Gnf1'1zjJ0rt, Long Island Eric Aardvark wandered the streets of Greenport where he learned how to be quiet, shy and respectful. Then he came to the Maritime College and changed the school as much as the wild cam f X ffl . W S X pus life changed him. Greenport couldn't believe the change until he tried to get the town on fire by burning the front seat of his ear. N0 one was safe from his lunacy or even dared to introduce him to 3 girl, especially after a certain incident atgthe back ofaa N.Y. City bus. A conscientious and tireless worker, The Worm always got the answers to the homework no matter how many factorsn were involved. He was always being harassed by the boys and was the Raps Chief antagonist. Eric was one of the best liked but least 5 imitated men in the class. After graduation, the worry worm plans to work for a living until that proves too boring. Then he hopes to find the right woman and settle down. S.N.A.M.E., Intramurals.

BACI Valley Stream, Long Island Few of the Class of ,611 arrived at Fort Schuyler that stormy Sep- tember morn with more enthusiasm for the military system than Pete. Today-well, today we have: Marilyn, music, Marilyn and- well, what could compete with that! Petels sense of values and sense of humor have expanded wonderfully during his repose at this emporium of eccentricity. Not that this has weakened his ideals. He'll still fight it out to the bitter end if he thinks he is right. His refined tastes prompted him to make the more elegant cruise scenes with the sophisticated set of the Class of '64.
