Antagonistic towards the Tactical Department at times, Groake was always cheerful and ready to laugh. Capable of seriousness when necessary, Dave will not stop short of stars on his Army blue.

MARVIN P. NORWOOD C-1 Marv I Austin, Texas Marve came to us with an already full and successful background. Born in the Lone Star State December 7, 1936, Marve graduated from Wm. B. Travis High School in 1955. He was, among other things, Vice President of his class, President of the Student Council, and President of the Student body.

JOHN LEE NOVOTNY D-2 Novo Westerville, Ohio D-2's Sammy Snead glided in from Dear Westerville High School with a bag of Woods in one hand and a bag of irons in the other. Novo was a firm believer in the no sweat doctrine and fought his battles with the academic departments and the TD in a cool, collected manner. His likeable per- sonality and ready wit will make him a success wherever he goes.

JOSEPH DALE NUNNELEE, II B-2 Joe San Antonio, Texas Words are inadequate to describe certain individuals. Honorable, dedicated, loyal, faithful, self-assured, and sensible only begin to reveal the truth about this pensive yet light-hearted Texan. A man's fortune is measured by his friendsg Joe is fantastically wealthy. We who have known Joe shall not forget him as he ascends the ladder of success, two steps at a time.

NEIL K. NYDEGGER I-2 Neil West Point will never be the same again without Neil to Wake us from our afternoon naps with his chiming of the chapel bells. A good word and a smile for everybody made him popular throughout the corps. Neil stood at the top of the class in everything and perhaps the only reason that he didn't wear stars was that he was always taking time out from his own studies to help a less gifted classmate.

El Paso, Texas Michael arrived upon the scene from that West Texas town of El Paso. Yearling and Cow Years found him on the better side of the Dean's List most of the time. Mike's line athletic abilities and leadership have been a constant asset to Company I-1. A good friend, and a good guy, Mike will surely be welcomed by the Artillery come June.

Y CHARLES LARRY NAHLEN H 1 Nate Little Rock, Arkansas Through thick and thin, Nate has always managed to be on hand with a good word for everyone. Though his good nature has made him the victim of many practical jokes, Nate has always been ready with a comeback and has shown a virtue displayed by few-the ability to laugh at one's own mistakes. Arkansas and H-1 are proud of their contribution to the Army.

K-1 Johnnie Hattiesburg, Mississippi Johnnie found West Point quite different from LSU. In spite of the frater- nity life here, he still found time to study. Being a natural scholar, Johnnie could often be found carrying his typewriter case in the direction of Battle Monument. He will surely be a success in all his endeavors.

LARRY ROBERT NEEDS K-1 Laroo Midland, Pennsylvania Here was a man with unbounded supplies of energy-which were naturally expended at the expense of much U.S.C.C. Bond and many pounds of shoe rubber. Between his sprees, he made many good friends. Now, as he leaves The Long Grey Line , we wish him the success due a true friend.

PHILLIP EARL NELSON F-1 Phil Sioux City, Iowa Phil brought with him the ability to see a long range goal and to work hard for itg though the many obstacles would have barred the course to a lesser man. Plebe year he even took a Regimental Wrestling Championship. Though many have smiled at his quest for efficiency, all knew that in him they had a true friend.

DAVID CURTIS NEUMANN E-2 Dave Willard, Ohio Dave, synonymous with a ready smile, a hand to help and a sense of humor to lighten the darkest moment, was E-2 all the way. Gum, and a very pretty lass who adorned the shores of Erie, were among his most important inter- ests besides his continual and aggressive encounters in sports and aca- demics. Success is and will continue to be his.

HARRY W. NIEUWBOER L-2 Portland, Oregon From the land of the Oregon Grape, Harry came to us, with seemingly more knowledge of history, art, music, and the Navy than any other man living. It is little wonder that his cogent thoughts and excellent conversa- tion were sought and respected by us who knew him, nor will it surprise us to see his extroardinary mind carry him much further in successive endeavors.
