Much of his time was spent huifiting andrlfisinupiiate home, and this thirst for adventure brought him to the Magritear College. After a few months of climbing over his classmatesmie Hold 32, he got used to the college life. As a member of the Band fin made his mark, not as one of the little drummer boys but as the unseen drumilpier.

Ron will be remembered by many both as one of the better liked cadets and as a guy with a Hashing smile, a combination not often found.

'F FRANK S. GIACCIO Bronx, New York An alumnus of Mount Saint Michael H.S. in the Bronx, Frank found a home aboard the Gray Scow and enjoyed himself so much that during his first year in the granite.tomb that six of his room- mates left. But then the jinx reversed itself and only through ex- treme effort and continuous study was he able to last for the re- maining fun-filled years. Never known for his brilliance, it is said that he made the curve possible. He. was always knee deep in trouble, and just managing to keep his head above water in his studies. His charm and personality were .lus ace-in-the-hole, es- pecially with the underclass fthe 4fc deckies voted him the most hated Indoctrination Omcerl. Frank's only claim to fame is being able to cha-cha-cha in Ro- man elevators and end up twisting with a priest. After graduation, the no sweat-just perspirationi' kid will try the Merch for a few years before some lucky heiress lets him have a ball and chain. Intramurals, Newman Club, N.A.M.E.: Secretary.

HAROLD J. GROSSER Queens, New York Harry, who resides in Queens, came to Maritime after graduating from Brooklyn Tech in the College Preparatory course. He came to the Halls of Sea Weed and Ivy as a deckie, but pehaps his arriving in the middle of Hurricane Diane had something to do with his becoming a meteo man in his Third Class year. The calf finally managed to get down to work on his First Class Cruise after spending the previous cruises finding any means that would get him out of work that is usually required by deckies. During these two cruises, he could either be found down in Sick Bay, in the Photography Dark room, or working on the Public In- formation Project. On his First Class Cruise, Harry earned the title of Duty C.0.0.D. and the distinction of having both his bow and stern hooks fall in the Bay of Naples at the Fleet Landing while he was coxswain of a running boat. I-Iarry's future plans call for him to remain a bachelor for a while, a stint in the Navy, and then probably a job with the Weath- er Bureau.
