I ir if . 5 ff CHARLES H. 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. With uno re- gardsf' carefully laid plans, the faculty electrical system of the T.B.'s Mobile cost the boys a measly 25 demo's. French Club: Pres., Prop. Club, Intramurals, Spanish Club.

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.

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

WILLIAM J.

Mug, Deacon'l still managed to find time to open his well reli nowned delicatessen which always featured fresh juice. Fong quickly showed his academic mettle, working his Wa u as far as the Admiral's List. In the wee hours of the? morning, hi could often be seen crouched into the dimly lit corner of his rack Inspection Rules in hand, muttering over and over to himself: uI,rri here for an education! Always willing to help a friend if Bill couldn't dispel a comratEle,s ignorance himself, he wouldiquickly send a necessa answer rom his Hidoln and '4Bi N McPherson Gibyb. g Daddy Gordon After graduation, Deacon plans to ship out for awhile to pay Off the many debts listed in his wallet journal, and to avoid Uncle Sam's Gray Lines.

FLEURETON Woodside, New York Early in his Mug Year'Harry acquired the name of Flutef' VVithin a short time Flute', became 'iSavvy Flu because of his un- believable knowledge of any subject. He is known not only for this, but also as an authority in alcohology. Flu's sterling personality and savyness'l made him one of the most liked cadets in the eyes of his classmates, both Deck and Engine. We are sure Harry will make a fine watch officer, just so long as his ship remains within Great South Bay. This will not only keep him off saltine crackers, but prevent his watching the last liberty boat pull away from the landing, as happened in Oslo. Who can listen to any story, solve any problem, and always say the ri ht thing at the right time? Wle know his name is Flu and 3 O . . he has our great admiration. Prep. Club, French Club. 121
