FERREIRA Bronx, New York It was a rainy morning when Willie took the mile trip from Edge- water through the gray gates of Fort Schuyler. From that moment, Will got down to business. Frequently Willie would be seen studying in the Library trying to find problems that would stump his worthy professors, and often he succeeded. Away from school, Bill was quite different. He loves dancing, a good time, and especially a lass named Jean. Willie enjoyed Europe with all its differences, and will never for- get the picnic at Holonkem Ski Jump. The First Class Cruise was the standout for Willie, as he was given the Water Rate. It was quite a contest to see Willie trying to avoid the long hand of Black Ed. Willie has definite plans for the future including shipping out for awhile, working for the Bureau of Ships in the design Depart-ment, and marrying Jean. With Willie s initative, intelligence, and good naturedness, there is no question that all these prospects will be ac- complished with great success. Q-.. A.,-f X X , aww?

FERRESE U tica, New York In September of 1960, a Utica Huey known as Weasel', arrived at the Fort and became one of the best liked cadets ofthe class. Al- though he was always known for his long, flowing black hair, there was one day he was caught without a single hair. On the cruises he could be found in only one place-rack. On the rare moments he was not in rack, he could be found assuming his responsibilities down in the evaps. On his First Class Cruise these moments were rare and water was rare. Through all the ports in Europe, even Paris, there was only one girl for Tom-Franny. Tom, a lover of music, will always remember the song from the'Rouge. With Tom's winning personality, he is sure to go far IH h1S chosen field. We all wish him the best of luck in anything he undertakes. Dance Committee, Intramurals. 119 f-Vx

Jose FEMENIA Elmhurst, New York It's long been a well known fact around the fort that if something is being done right, Joe has been involved in it in one way or an other. His exceptional amount of knowledge about almost every topic of conversation is always a source of amazement. . No matter what joe is doing, if you need a helping hand he's ready to give it to you Cexcept for one night in Spain when he need- ed a little help himself There is no doubt in our minds that, upon graduation, joe will set out to make a great success of himself, as long as he has the help of a girl named Cathy, whom we see every Saturday morning in her black Chevy.

FESSLER Rochester, New York Charlie, better known as f'T.he Bird, flew in onga hurricane in September ,GO from his roost in Rochester where his prowess as a basketball player and actor were renowned..W1th these attributes and his lanky ragamufhn appearance, Charlie was able to fit into the military system as well as the best of them. . . Due to his untimely wit, some of the first. impressions the upper class and administration got were misleading. .In class, on the ashowboataw and during many other class functions, uno regards could be heard belittling the system. Academically and socially, Charlie, the astute student of French, led the French on to achieve hei hts. pa'3f?hreOLC1bCntinEntal Don Juan of ,64 was able to subdue the lan- o-uacre barrier in eight European countries with his own language gf lgve. Between the damsels of Europe and his culinary delights on the '63 Cruise, f'The Bird was better able than most to stand those long, hard days at sea. - ' As most birds, Charlie habitually goes South for a portion of the winter to the Southern belles and sunny beaches.

FINNERTY Copiague, New York Hailing from the new frontier of Copiague, Pete's gleaming smile and red hair, leads us to believe that folks out there are me- ticulous and that numerous Chevies are the norm. He quickly ad- justed to his new surroundings and found that the hold was not just a place for cargo and bilge rats but was surprised to find him- self there his whole Mug Year. just about every weekend Pete could be seen speeding along the highways and byways North, South, East, or West keeping his na- tional travels up with his international travels, including a return trip to the Eternal City. On Pete's Mug Cruise he remembered the Good Ship Marsa' and an embarrassing dip at the pier in Ville Franche. On his sec- ond journey, Rome and Latitude 39O4O'N Longitude 110W stand out in his mind, and on his last cruise, again sweet Roma. One of the first to be called behind our Marine Transportation Department's closed door regarding 2H,,' Pete shook awhile, as did we all, and then, with his usual calm, grinned and got into and out of more trouble which his Irish luck and winning smile always saw him through. Q Although travelling and f'2H takes up much of his time, he has found still more time to be a member of the top notch rowing team that made Maritime boats the unoflcicial world champions in 1961, and triumphant victors over Kingls Point two out of three times. Pete's Cross Country record proves that he can succeed at anything he puts his mind to, and knowing him he'll put his mind to many things including shipping out, graduate work, and in general mak- ing a success out of himself.
