GEORGE S GEHRINGER GEORGE S. GEHRINGER 1-2 Orky Through four long years, George battled the Academic Departments with hard work and determina- tion. His easy-going smile and cheerful readiness to help those in need won him much silent applause from his classmates. With these qualities there can be no doubt that the Artillery has gained a fine officer.

STANLEY GEORGE GENEGA E-1 Stash Raised on kielbasy and blessed with a substantial quantity of grey cranial matter. Stash has undeniably established himself as one of the outstanding members of our class. The by-product of a proud Polish heri- tage. Stash has exhibited all those qualities that we admire in an individual. Accordingly, he was selected as chairman of the Honor Committee. A quick wit, a ready smile, an endless source of words and a perpetual willingness to lend a helping hand have and probably always will be his trade-mark.

THOMAS REGIS GENETTI L-1 Tom Tom must have taken exceptional care of his books during his tenure as a cadet. At the end of four years, the books appeared literally untouched.

GANSHERT F-2 Steve Stexe came to West Point endowed with a sense of humor and a love for the great outdoors. To those who did not know him well. Steve appeared somewhat shy, but his friends will not easily forget his practical jokes or the double-take talk which became known as Gansherts. Though he was a goat at heart, Steve was often able and always willing to help a classmate in need. We will long remember him as a real and honest friend. ROBERT EMERSON G.ATES, JR. F-2 Bob Bob and his ever-present humor descended upon West Point from Seattle, Washington. It was his natural love for a joke or a few more hours in the bag that have forever endeared him to both the Academic and Tactical Departments. But even though our century man has made the T. D. ' s honor roll, his casual air has allowed him to miss Stars — both kinds — although he admits to still owing the English Department two tenths.

CARL WILLIAM GENTINE Carl Carl, our Caliiornia Croldcii Bear, came bravely forth unto us to leave a lasting impression. To say that his influence was inspirational would be far from wrong, for Carl was always there with his carefree academic attitude and great sense of humor. Not one to become a slave to the Tactical Department, he lived from day to day, managing to come out on top of any work or duty without a scratch. Football 4; Handhall Cliih I : Ski Club 4.3.1. DOUGLAS K. GENTZKOW K-2 Doug Hailing from Salem, Oregon. Doug brought with him the unshakable pride of being from the Far West. Always ready to lend a helping hand, he nevertheless was also ever ready to join in the ever present battle royals that existed in the lost fifties. Continuously active in extra-curricular activities, he set an Academy record for signing up on trip sections and somehow managed to take many of them. With such persistence, success is bound to follow. Football 4, 3, 2, ; Public Information Detail 2; Por- tuguese Language Club 2. I: Rocket Club 3. 2, 1; Spanish Language Club 2.
