MICHAEL DAVID MATTHEWS Houston, Texas F-4 The decline and fall of the Holland Tunnel can be attributed to the lady's man of F-troop, Snakebite. A different date every weekend, Mike covered the surrounding area by his iunior year. At this time, he took a well deserved rest, sort of an involuntary retirement for four months! In his stylish Texan manner, he snows more girls, is the best friend of more guys, exemplifies a fine gentleman and Cadet, and undoubtedly will find success in his endeavors.

Soiling his feet and coming North to West Point, Bill displayed his tremen- dous abilities in all fields. A gargantuan appe- tite for French fries made Bill one of the heavier members of the 150 Ib. football team. Bill will without a doubt go far in whatever he does in the future. 150 lb.

ROBERT BRUCE MCBANE Fort Beniamin Harrison, Indiana E-2 The man for all seasons, Bruce is truly a unique individual. Rooming with Bruce for four days was more of an experience than four years at the Academy. Likeable in every way, the only people Bruce didn't get along with were the barbers. His many and varied hobbies- women-kept him busy when he wasn't staying up late starting a term paper which was due the next day. Bruce's constant success in aca- demics left him much time to enioy his brown boy. He will always be remembered for his carefree nature, the soft talk that was always ready for his female companions, and his sur- fer magazines. Bruce will undoubtedly go through life as he did West Point, hanging ten. Fourth Class Glee Club 4, Ski Club 2, I, Spanish Club lp French Club I, Hop Man- ager 2, ly Scoutmaster's Council 4. LEROY ARNOLD MAXFIELD, JR. Burlington, Wisconsin F-2 With an unbelievable character packed in an unbelievable body Max brought his amazing imagination, sense of humor, and artistic talents to the F-2 Zoo. He always had a way with cars and athletics. He never turned down a helping hand. Max loves the little things, un- seen by most, and sees the lighter side of bigger things. Some day, his fascinating mind will outdo his modesty. After all, who can forget Batman, the screaming eagle, or iust plain Max? , im. , Howitzer Staff 2, 1. Q- 0 EDWARD WILLIAM MAYER Baltimore, Maryland A-2 With his head literally in the stars and his feet on the ground, Ed brought much more than average ability with him into these gray walls. Following in the footsteps of his brother, Ed followed no one in the attributes which make a superior cadet. His sincere friendship and his earnest dedication won for him honors and friends in abundant quantities. Infantry blue even glowed in his eyes. His glories as a cadet can only be dimmed by his accomplishments as an officer.

Whenever there was a need for an organizing, energetic hand in the company, he was sure to be the one called upon. While his roommates curled under the Brown Boy, he would still be working on one of his numerous activities ranging from Scuba to SCUSA. John will always be remembered as one of our most dependable and friendly com- rades. Debate Council and Forum 4, 3, 2, ly U. N.

HAROLD LEE MAXSON Jackson, Michigan B-3 Between tending bar on leave time and contributing to the Goats' victory over the Engineers, Tub didn't have much time for the finer things of life. Sure enough, the Academic Departments got wise to him and tried to score, but Tub managed to shut them out and keep his record perfect. , Goat-Engineer Football 2, Asst. Hop Manager 2. RONALD DALE MCADOO Bloomfield, Missouri G-2 Doo Man, a short stubby fellow who spent most of his time in a grouch, had an extremely well developed muscle around his waist. Having a preference for cutoffs and his Missouri sweat- shirt over dress gray when in Pittsburgh, the TD helped persuade him to change his dressing standards. The Bloomfield wildcat was a cinch to be found on the basketball court on off movie nights and was a reliable source of cigarettes for the 45th, Known for his famous sit-ons, he will be one of the upcoming faces in the Army X i . uf .- Glee Club 3, 2, 'l. s :

Starting slowly as Best New Cadet, with no hair, impeccable appearance, and Prussian bearing, he gradually became better adiusted to his surroundings ris- ing ultimately to the magical heights of Century Club, with long hair, unshined brass and long files to be closed. His plans for 1974 remain indefinite. Scuba Club 3, lg Class Au- O X 0 tomobile Committee.
