PELLEGRINO Bronx, New York From the picturesque Bronx, a pigeon loving boy came to the hallowed halls of Fort Schuyler from which he departed as a Hsavvyw young man. This young man, who was known as the eye,w will always be remembered as one of Fort Schuyler's most dis- tinguished chefs. On his first class cruise he made the best bowl of uneatable spaghetti that ever went through the scuppers of the T.S.E.S. IV. A few of Vinnyis other distinguisable traits were: his unequaled finesse for measuring gauge glasses, and the skill with which he could reason with the captain over a simple thing as hav- ing a mess deck bowl in his satchel. The most striking thing about Vinny is his ability to come forth with a smile, and his most famous words, What are we, easy?', no matter how trying the circumstances. With this attitude and a girl named Phyllis standing beside him, there isn't anything on this earth that could stop him from reaching the top of whatever field he enters.

THOBIAS A. OLSEN Broolflyn, Neat' York Like several others in the class, Tom graduated from Brooklyn Tech. Also, like many others, Tom was surprised to find that the hold was home in September, 1960. During the last four years Tom's Norwegian ancestry has pre- served and made him an Hold salt. It even saw him through the black days when he almost became a meteorologist. i There was rumor that Tom was going to receive a Purple Heart for surviving a year and two cruises with the two shortest tempered guys in the class, but nothing came of it. Fifth Division had two Clsen's to contend with on one cruise. The only way we could tell the difference between the Assistant Division Leader and the First Lieutenant was by listening to their vocabulary. Tom's was civilized and more proper, though not as colorful. Tom's future calls for the roll of a ship under his feet, clear skies. and a star to steer by. French Club. j ga: ,U .e fx . .- - 9 s s 1 N JOHN M. O'NEILL Flushing, New York On that first miserable day in September, 1960, jack, a graduate of Holy Cross High School, made the long journey across the river to join the class of 164. Under the superior guidance of Nick and Greg, he managed to get through Indoctrination without much trouble and he settled down to start his Hrst year at the fort. Because he was a military guy in a military school, he immediately joined the PR- S. This ended when he had a disagreement with Mr. Machine. . Sort of sttunbling through his Hrst year, he passed everything. and then started planning for his Hrst cruise. On the cruise, he was picked 35 -the Assistant Fuel Oil Rate, and spent the rest of the summer UY1Ug to scap out of inspections with Bosco. One memorable Satur- day morning found them running into the Captain twice while trying to elude him. In Southhampton he was lucky enough YO get m OH the last tour to the Ivanhoe Hotel in London. , The second cruise found him as Frank's assistant, and seeing that Frank wanted to do all the work, he settled back to an CP153' life of trying to catch as much sleep as possible. During his' SCC0T1d Class Year, with the help of Waa,s, he joined the notorious ten Second Classmen in Jay and joe's deck firemaking school. . On his last cruise, Jack found that Black Ed was not to be h1S boss, and he sort of delegated his work down through the PfOPCf Channels so that he would be able to sit back and GHJOY the large SUPPIY Of juice that found its way into the vessel. , , .fads plans to ship out on tankers for a few years and 'then get Els 'lagt' and go back to some of the places that he had visited on IS pleasure cruises to Europe.

POBUTKIEWICZ Syracuse, New York Stan, with the unpronounceable name, was swept through the golden gates of Fort Schuyler in the wake of a hurricane. Ever since this memorable day he has been gunning and talking with no let up. Stan, aside from being one of the shortest guys in the class, was a member of the Rendezvous Club' and one of their biggest and best customers on weekends. An ardent supporter of bigger and more frequent pig pushes,', Stan was often found smiling slyly in one of the darker corners. He also shares the record of the most E's made in one game by any of the Maritime Mets. This inhabitant of the low lands of Syracuse made friends easily due to his friendly smile and happy-go-lucky attitude. After ship- ping for a while, Stan plans to get a shore job and settle down to his usual slow way of living. S.N.A.M.E.: Technical Coordinator, Varsity Baseball, Intramurals. of r 145
