PHIL PONS Q., JOHN PORTER ROBERT LESLIE PHILLIPS K-1 Bob Phoenix, Arizona Bob is a man who likes to succeed-and does. This is the one characteristic which has been most noticeable about him throughout his four years at West Point. His success as a master rifieman and as a debater are but two prime examples of his success.

DWAYNE DONALD PIEPENBURG K-1 Pieps Litchfield, Minnesota From central Minnesota came our Kappa Uno farmboy. With Pieps came his unceasing desire to excel as a cadet. When not busy studying or admiring his accomplishments in the class, sallyport or getting out of a possible slug, Dwayne was always helping others. Success is sure to follow him after graduation.

STEVEN DURWARD PIERCE F-1 Rabbit Clarksburg, California When Rabbit left the land of smog and broken hearts, little did he know what West Point and the East had in store from him. Here, he found his heart's desires: pretzels, a brown boy and the Jersey Shore. Since he had no trouble with academics, he found plenty of time for all. His ability, sincerity and unlimited energy will see him through to greater things in later years.

PHILIP E. PONS, JR. F-2 Phil Ft. Eustis, Virginia With a background as an Army Brat , and a few years prior service to assist him, Phil took cadet life in stride. Numerous bouts with the Academic Department failed to dampen his spirits. When Phil wasn't talking about the Army, he was generally sailing. His warm personality and devotion to the military will always be a valuable asset.

Q-its swf 02554542-'li will yy i giljllmmllll PHILIP WALDEMAR POULSEN E-1 Phil Littleton, New Hampshire Ph1l's four years at the Academy have been one continuous fight. He fought the T.D. , The Hospital and the Academic Department. CPhil is the only man 1n the class to be turned in rather than out in Fluidsj. But his perseverance and desire to do well have helped him to win his fight and point him in the right direction for a successful career.

PRICE I-1 DOH Lebanon, Tennessee A punky Lilliputian with a quick smile and a slow drawl, Dave came from Tennessee to fight Euclid and Russian. When the going got rough, Dave could always be counted on to get a job done. With spirit and enthusiasm, Dave will make a mark for all to follow. Sergeant 1 ,' Sunday School Teacher 3, 2, 1,' Russian Club 4,' Pistol Club 3, Sailing Club 3. HOWARD TAFT PRINCE, II B-2 Howie Belton, Texas Hitch your wagon to a star, symbolizes Howie's attitude toward any field of endeavor. Determination, diligence, perseverance, and just plain hard work, and an instinctive drive to gain the top, motivate Howie to rise above the ordinary. Never content to be only an above average cadet, he will not be satisfied until the gold stars he wears turn to silver.

RALPH WHITTAKER PRYOR B-1 Ralph San Francisco, California His nicknames were as many and as well known as were his quick retorts and uncontrollable smile. Probably no other cadet gained immunity from the heat of the Plain for so many years. Wars have followed him as have their triumphsg his future contributions to victories will but enhance a fine career.

EUGENE RAMELLA K-2 Ram Ellwood City, Pennsylvania After a year of fraternizing in college, Gene was indeed meant to be in Kappa Dos. His easy going manner, along with his earnest attitude led to his becoming company Honor Representative. Upon escaping Plebe Eng- lish, he later proved his scholarship by joining the Dean's List. Ram's friends know that with his winning personality, he is bound to succeed, no matter what his field of endeavor.

RANDAZZO F-2 Randy Arlington, Virginia Randy is one of the granddads of the Corps, having witnessed the military in Navy blue for a year prior to entering the Military Academy. The trans- fer was no problem, the academics came easily, the Dean's List was a cinch. Forever taking arms against the Tactical Department seems to be his pastime, while anxiously he awaits his graduation day and a promising future.
