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.

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.

Q My WILLIAM O. BOYLE Center MOTiC1Il75,lN76ZL' York Bill, known as the Oaf,,' among the boys, came to Fort Schuyler from Center Moriches, Long Island. Much of his spare time he has devoted to playing in the College Dance Band. We have never seen him at the fort when there was a liberty to be had, and sometimes when there was none. Bill is noted for his high morale and his jovial nature. After graduation, Bill plans to ship in the Merchant Service for a few years. Eventually he plans to return to Palma de Majorca, which he calls the best port he has been in, as yet. Band, Dance Band. .N 1. 1 y . W s g ..,.i,-I 1 i X . .trr N ,i,,, . A ..

BRADFORD Valley Stream, New York George, an ex-Chaminade FlyerH came to the Maritime College from Elmont to become a Privateer.', While at the fort, Brad spent his time tingling the twines and upholding his standing .on the rack-squad. George spent his weekend liberties throwing parties and entertaining an assortment of his girls. When cruise time came, George became an adventurer who traveled to the most exotic places in Europe and absorbed all of the continent's culture. He will never forget his many experiences on the cruise including the gift that the strange conductor on the train from Rome gave him, his thirstless tour of the port of Rotterdam, the magnificent view of the Port of Oslo, and his nightclubbing in Rome. n George hopes the future will bring many fruitful years of ship- ping out along with the Vette'7 he's always wanted. Welre sure that he'll be successful in whatever he does. French Club, Prop Club, Eight Bells, Managing Editor. 103
