GECRCE W. KOCH Flushing, New Ygyk George, The Bearf, came to SUMC from Flushing. YVhile at- tending Bayside High School 'iBear took an extra course in hair cutting which has led to some busy Friday nights and Saturda mornings, to the relief of his classmates, and some trouble for th! Cadet Barber on his Mug cruise. Along with haircuts Bear had some unexpected liberties that year. 9 HBear is an active participant in man o ular colle ' ' ' such as Yacht Club, French and Spanisl11pClDubs, and gieaixvdfisf association. When he is not participating in any of these worth- while activities, HBear can be found growling at one of the run- ning boats, as a good Boat Division Leader should. just to prov-e that he was one of the boys. the Bear partici- pated in the scandalous Rome tour of '62. Along with nearly every- one else he managed to miss Rotterdam. All in all, George is an affable fellow despite his growls, and will do very well in his chosen world of shipping. Yacht Club, Prop.

KOCZUR Bujalo, New York Dave immigrated to the United States from Buflalo, New York, in September, 1960. He had studied English for several years before he arrived, so he quickly caught on to the native tongue of Ameri- cans. Although not particularly known for his cheery attitude when he first rouses out at reveille, Dave is famous for his smile and easy- going manner finding it not too hard at all to get along with every- one Qeven teasing roommatesj. One of our first and ardent meteorologists, Dave was the Cadet Head Meteorologist on the '62 cruise. Dave pranced the decks with a sling psychrometer and portable rain gauge. Funny thing about Dave, he has completed three years of navi- gation, but he still thinks that the earth revolves about an axis with one pole at Wappinger Falls and the other at the United States Wfeather Bureau.

W..L. did not stop at academics however, but added to his list of achievements such extra-curricular activities as LaCrosse and the Propeller Club. . ' ttwrecking Ballw loved the dangerous and exciting so much that durino' his four years here he had many aa close scrape. Old and Senileeas he may become, Weinre sure that he ll never forget his high dive from the not-so-merry-time stage, nor the time he rode shot. gun in the car that carried his roommates within the confines of its trunk. In years to come, he can tell his children how his love of I liberty caused him to be one of the few men to ever be restricted in the great port of Albany. In any event we are sure. the Merchant Marine is getting a good man, and a blue-eyed lassie a good hug. band in Larry, and we wish them both the best of luck.

KISLINC Setauket, New York The wind was howling and the tropic-like rains were draining the lush Maritime College Campus when the '4Dashing Dane from Port Jeff arrived to begin four years of college education and in- famous pleasure cruises. Attempting to be true to his valiant Viking ancestors, he settled down to the labors so freely tossed on him. On our Hrst cruise, we'll all remember the tremendous welcome awaiting him on the pier in Copenhagen, his wonderful home- land, and all the trouble he caused the old man and his XO-well, he did get the entire weekend off. During his third class year, he was a changed man. The town of Hempstead soon had a new adopted son. Oh, those Danish Ro- meoas? His second cruise was one of torture for him, not only be- cause of his personal feelings but also because of his demerit record as well as the Rome Tour, 2H,'l and of course his friends, Bert and Frank. During his second class year, trips to Hempstead were more fre- quent and studies more of a grind. He proved his prowess as a Viking by coxswaining a team as the top boat on the Maritime Rowing Team, despite his friend Walt. His third and final cruise was one of day counting and letter reading. However, Rick was again able to show his proficiency by being appointed a school marmf, X I I .Now it's alllover, and Rick will be remembered by all of us for his undying spirit in everything he attempts. After graduation, Fort Schuylers loss will be the world's gain. . Cadet Training Ofiicer, Soccer Team, Intramurals, Band, Rowing Team Prop.

RICHARD K. LAING Williston Park, New York From the very beginning of his mug year, Dick was a leadir. He? led every formation and headed every company-all 75 inc es o him. At this height they couldn't find anyone big enough tO ph? 111 front of him. Throughout his four-year sojourn at the Maritime College, Dick's daily routine could be likened to the month of March. He began each day like a hungry lion and ended lt like a friendly lamb, usually socializing away the evening study hours. . Hailing originally from Long Island, he soon transported hiS long, lean frame to the sunny southland and became one of Mari- timels small, select group of Florida dwellers, no doubt using the low landscape to compensate for his height. u Usually punctual, Dick was overleave only once, and this was merely caused by his and several other cadets' project to donate fresh fruit to the Genoese citizens. Our Floridian,s real claim to fame at the Maritime College rested with his cars. After freezing an Opel, he decided to switch to a pink and black bomb which he was sure, by merit of color alone, wouldn't freeze up in any weather. Dick hopes some day to trade his Pink Ladyn in for a Navy jet, and for a guy who literally spends most of the time with his head in the clouds this should be a SNAP. Prop.
