was EUGENE P. MCDONALD Pearl Riwr, New York The giant from Pearl River slipped past the gate house one night and woke up the next morning as a cadet. A graduate of Bergen Catholic High School, dicipline was part of his blood and he didn't accumulate any demos until his Second Class Year.

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.

if WILLIAM T. McMULLEN Bronx, New York cewillievv Came to the Mal-lfIIHC College idea that per- fection is the only acceptable standard, and as time passed, thq-3 underclass assigned to his platoon .found him to be funscrupulously fairw about the degree of perfection required. At times, especially after his daily inspections, many a man felt-the burden of this re- quirement while serving MIAPS. Many of his classmates fell from Uracev when they displayed a lack of understanding toward 3Willie's', sense of right and wrong. The call of the sea has gotten to Bill and he has chosen the Coast and Geodetic Survey for a start to pursue h1S chosen field of mete- Orglogy, and also to Hnd serenity in the sea. In a sense, we all hope his sense of obligation will bend in time, but if lt does not, Bill will not be the same man we knew for four years. Whatever befalls him, we wish him the best of luck.

MCMURRAY Richmond Hill, New York Dividing his time between Mary Ellen and the Fort, in that order and not always in equal portions, John showed us the way to avoid all the things that are, by means of its inherent vice, a part of our system. He rarely let something bother him-a faculty we should all look at in admiration and envy. Not overly given to participation in extra-curricular activities, john took on one of the most challenging activities that can befall anyone-the publication of this yearbook. The end result deserves our admiration, gratitude, and thanks. Well done! A person with whom we would work at any time in any place, we wish him all he may find needful for the long happy years that he richly deserves.
