STEFFENHAGEN Elmsford, New York From a small hill in Elmsford came Steff, with a sharp tongue and hot trumpet. If he wasn't hanging in with the Band, you would be sure to find him gunning cuticles in the library, from which he would return to continue his studies on osmosis. By his teammates, Will was known for his constant hustle and chatter on the infield. On his three cruises, he spent much time gaining a knowledge of the Hstic arts. In Southampton, on th '61 Gruise, everyone will re- member the triple scotch drinking contest he lost. In Rotterdam, on his second cruise, his roommatels birthday was celebrated by crashing a Heiniken's Brewery party, touring the city on motorcycles for a pack of cigarettes, and climbing barbed wire fences. Early in his Second Glass Year Bill began beating a path dgwn Zarega Avenue, which has turned into a regular by scheduled shuttle. He plans to ship out for a short time and then finally settle down to take orders from a new commander named Denice. French Club. 152

RY ZNAR Atlantic Highlands, New fvrxcy With a deflated basketball in his back pocket, Big Ed, also known as 'cStinky and as uStick, came to us from Red Bank Cath- olic High one stormy morning in '60, pumped up his basketball, and ever since has been a big asset to the team of which he is presently Captain. Never one to be a Slacker, Ed soon became a member in good standing of the Century Club, and not too far away was his en- trance to the 2-H crew as a charter member. There was a time when Ed could always be counted on as good company on some downtown foray to 86th street, or some European excursion like trolley rides in Rotterdam, and several places in Oslo, but alas and alack no more. He seems to spend all his time running back and forth to Long Island now, and when he's not, he spends his time wishing he was. In the future it'll probably be the Merchant Marine for a few years. Good luck to you Ed-we're all witcha! Basketball: Capt., Intramurals, Newman Club, Porthole: Circulation Edi- tor, French Club, Spanish Club, Century Club, I.R.C. f WALTER L. SCHWARTZ Brooklyn, New York Walt is one of those Brooklyn boys who came here with the illu- sions which were common to all of us. Hewitt and Frost, together with the rest of the IDO's soon changed his ideas. Except for a prob- lem or two in English he went through Mug Year in l'III6.f3Sh1OU- In the second semester of his Third Class Year, Walt Joined the elite corps of the rneteorologists. Second Class Year, however, was Waltls big one. It was a year of joy and sorrow. Fortunately the JOY, his engagement to a certain dark haired beauty from Brooklyn, outweighed his sorrow of almost being thrown out of school by a certain malignant group of First Class Engineers. All in all, Walt has played it cool, as the phrase gO6S,'aUd has made it through these grueling four years. We all wish him every success in his future endeavors. 151 N 9515

STOEHR Bayville, New York Turn out the lights, turn out the lights, turn out the lightsf' he said for four years. Harry's passion for sleep accompanied his dis- belief that his roommates could not comprehend his simple philoso- phy of leisure. What else is there to do with your free time but sleep? Harry's good natured attitude of live and let live has carried him with ease through the military system of Fort Schuyler and put him in good stead with his classmates. His ambition and hard work put him on the Dean's List four times, and enabled him to maintain a respectable average every semester. Harryis thoughts, when not oc- . . . . I cupied with work, were busy contemplating how many liberty iours he would have in the next month. There have been fewer things dearer to Harry than his weekends and vacations, not even the pres- ence of Hnals could make him spend a weekend at school. His fondest memories are of his three crusises and of a young miss from Leiden Holland, who saw him at least once every cruise. His plans for the, future include shipping out for several years and then post-graduate work. Society of American Nucleur Students: Treasurer Dean's List-4 semesters. 153
