Class Boat Crew, Monogram Club, Publicity Comm., Sguad Leader 2, Company Executive Officer Take six feet of kinetic energy, sheepish grin, and constant wilhngness to help out, top it with a vermilion thatch, and you have New England ' s own Bill Bleakley. In his wake of activities and accomplishments you can find almost everything from soup to nuts. Cheerleading ( Wilfieee!!! ) varsity swimming, manag- ing the baseball team, taking the pictures you see in this book . . . these just mention a few. The Bleak always does OK with the books, too, and many ' s the time he has been seen tutoring some of us more unfortunates. And the best part of it is that success doesn ' t phase him a bit. He ' s still the same old easy- going, hard-working, friend-in-need fellow that everybody likes. Wilfred Robert Bleakley, Jr. t C

GREENWICH, CONN. ■ Greenwich High School ew Haven State Teacher ' s College Dance Committee, Track Manager, Squad Leader 2, Company Executive Ofiicer ' 4 V A native son of Connecticut, Hank came to the academy after a year at New Haven State Teachers College. Since his arrival, he has been giving the Dance Committee the benefit of his ideas and energy. Hank has been Fig ' s right hand man for the past two seasons with the track team, running the show all the way. He seems to like the summer cruises as he has taken more than the usual number as a cadet. However, wherever he goes he seems to attract the female element. Then he plays everything K.G.I. Studying and Hank are definitely not synonymous, and for him there is only one way to spend liberty . . . outside the gates. Never completely dry, always happy, and full of gay repartee. Hank will certainly do well in any environment. Metury Herhew t Belt

Frank JtuphiMol Buess€Bler From out of the Northwoods of Minnesota one warm July day, came Frannie to make his mark in the world of sea-faring men. Barring the fact that Frank comes from a densely populated area, hometown population of thirteen, including dogs and stock, he seemed to have led a quiet normal life. As we got to know him however, with his ever-present stock of timely and poignant witticisms and classic descriptions, we began to realize that here was no ordinary man. In spite of radiator club lean- ings, Frank has found time to become senior baseball manager (from chasing kids who were stealing foul balls to pocketing foul balls himself in only four years! ). An imperturbable cuss, nothing phases him, and we will long remember the good nature he displayed every time we ribbed him for being the most typical hayseed east of the Mississippi.
