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

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.

When not .applying his energies to Hthwarting the systemv he was perfectly willing to expound on his theories of life, and being one of the best l1ngu1sts in the class, he kept his listeners spellbound, or should we say entertained. .One of the.top letter winners this school has seen, few can match his record with the Sports Department, displaying his boundless energy ln sports throughout all four years.
