THOMAS E. MATTHEWS Ntlsonville New York lom and his Four Leaf Glover came to the Maritime College from Nessonville and became an occupant of the infamous week- end party in Room 324. Tom s good fortune and his ability can be seen by his impeccable military record. Matty was one of the few men not affected by the beautiful ffirls of Copenhagen and Bremen because of his true devotion to his recent fiancee, Pam. Tom duti- fully fulfilled his responsibility as Assistant Division Leader by set- ting a new Schuyler record for time in rack. Ability to help other people has proven to one of Tom sbest personality traits. With this and his high academic standing Tom will surely make a place for himself in the future. N.A.M.E.

Unlike most of U55 he entered Fort Schuyler knowing what he was getting into, Eelrlg of military stock. He actually seemed to know what the Merch was all about, and envisioned for himself the good life of the seafarer. First, however, he had four years and three cruises to put in and set about it with passion, driving himself with a guitar, an MG Qand a few subway tokens for those odd times when the wheels were crumpledl, a bottle of Johnny VValker, and a large helpmg of aloofness. George waged a running battle with the sys- tem and its advocates, and a running love affair with the local female populace. He emerged, though not unscathed, from both, and, with friend Bob, set about terrorizing the Village and those aff1iU0nS Of Europe lucky enough to be graced by his presence. ffoughout all, George remained the friend of those worth be- riending, and a more faithful and generous friend doesn't exist.

GEGRGE W. MANZ Bronx, New York George's afhnity for the water started at a very young age- when he was born. He spent his youth paddling through th? Coastal waters of City Island. George continued his swimming through his high school days at Samuel Gompers. One day GCOTUQO5Wam S little too far from his home base and wound up on tht? Sands of Fort Schuyler, where he was destined to spend the next four years. His swimming ideas turned to those of diving as he made his cruises. The first time George really dove and enjoyed it was in Lis- bon, Portugal, on his Mug cruise. Since that time, George has been diving in every port where the opportunity arose. As far as academic interests are concerned, George is an habitual member of the Admiralis List and the Dean,s List. In fact it can be said that George has never been off either list during his stay at the Maritime College. Wlith this academic background and his natural perseverance, we are sure that George's goals in life will be success- fully achieved.

MASHIN Brooklyn, New York Norm the Mashern is good natured, good hearted, and a very friendly guy. Nails Norm came to the Fort from Brooklyn pre- pared to follow a path that had been forged years before. He quickly started to clear his own path, adapting himself to the military way of life. Not once has he jumped ship on a Friday night. This nuclear student is famous for his terrible outcries on leav- ing certain ports. A First Class sun worshipper who has a passion for pinochle, Norm is noted for not being able to read stencils or use them, except Five minutes before an inspection.
