JAMES RICHARD MCDONOUGH Staten Island, New York F-2 Hailing from the City, Mac brought many ex- citing stories with him to West Point. He man- aged to keep excitement in his life by winning fame in the ring. The only excitement he had in academics, however, was when he stuck him- self sewing stars on his collar. To those who have known Mac, there is no question that his future will be filled with many exciting events, and with his talents he won't even need the luck of the Irish. German Club 4, 3, Russian Club 3, Howitzer 4, 3, 2, Associate Editor 1, Pointer 3, Skydiving Club 3. STEPHEN CRAIG McGUE Marion, Indiana B-I . Magoo never aspired to be the ideal cadet, but the potential for greatness has always been there, hidden under his brown boy. Always modest, despite his skill with Swedish beauties and fast cars, even his Plebes in Beast couldn't help but like him. Never troubled by academics and ever glad to help his classmates, his sheepish grin and easy going ways have won Steve many friends who will not soon forget him. Astronomy Club 3, 2, I, Scuba Club 2, 1. THOMAS LEONARD MCMINN Anniston, Alabama G-4 Being a brat and hailing from actually about everywhere, Tom brought with him a sense of hard work, honest effort, and perhaps best of all, a Help your Buddy attitude. Always wil- ling to help out, Tom is there as he is needed. Renowned for his prowess on the slopes and in the water, his no sweat attitude has en- deared him to everyone. Infantry is Tom's choice, and we all know that he will make a fine leader. Handball Club 3, 2, 1, Ka- rate Club 2, l, Riding Club 3, 2, l, Scuba Club 2, 'lp Ski Club 3, 2, 'l. CARL BARRY McGEE Detroit, Michigan D-2 From the Motor City came a young man with a quick wit and a quick right. Mac's moves in the ring were matched only by his moves at a party. A fierce competitor, he proved to be one of the best on the fields of friendly strife. Never one to have any trouble with the academic department, Barry's endless drive, combined with his winning personality, cannot fail to bring him success in all he pursues. Brigade Boxing Runner-up 2, Dialectic Society 4, 3, 2, 1, Brigade Ticket Repre- sentative I. MICHAEL EGAN MCKAY Chicago Heights, Illinois F-3 On that memorable day in 1965, Mike entered the academy. He showed his potential in academ- ics early in his plebe year and gained the cher- ished and honored stars. It was in February of 1966 that Mike met Carol. After that there was no hope of Mike's being a bachelor. Aside from spending all his time with her, he was either on the phone talking with her or writing her letters. Pistol Club 4, Pistol Team 4, Cadet Public Relations lilij Council 1, Portuguese Club WAYNE EDWARD MCSWIGGAN Salem, Massachusetts F-2 Hailing from the heart of Yankee Land, Wayne is an avid Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots supporter. His favorite pastimes are writing to Gail and dreaming of The Flying Circus and the Red Baron. But Swig's goal in life is -to be in command of his own tank unit. Wayne's easy-going manner and congenial personality, along with his constant willingness to try to help a faltering classmate, have endeared him to us all. The Army is gaining another great leader.

DAVID WILLIAM NICDERNIOTT U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado F-4 Dermoss was a rugged individual although unknown by the barbers, he was one of the most friendly among our classmates. Dave always tried to operate close enough to the blue book to keep his reserved seat at the weeknight flicks. One always knew where to find him, at the ski slope or on the phone arranging dates for the next weekend. He is a true credit to our class and will go far in his military career. 51:15 .,!fr.,5-' cafhanc chair 3, 2, 1, ska , Club 4, 3, 2, I, Ski Team 4, 3, 2, Debate Council 4, 3. Lim MICHAEL FREDERICK MCGOVERN Allentown, Pennsylvania H-4 Mike has been one of the stalwart members of our class, as his being Class President and Chairman of the Ring and Crest Committee clearly indicate. His academic prowess was usually in question, but he managed to escape the long arm of the academic department sometimes. His continual smile, quick wit, and dynamic personality helped make life a little more bearable and made memories a lot more pleasant for his many friends.

DENNIS CHARLES MCKELVEY Berlin, New Hampshire B-4 Dennis would not want anything said about him. But then, that is typical of Den. Always self-effacing, he is devotedly loyal to friends and principles, a man of strong will, and good heart. Family first, friends next, self last-that's Den's motto. We who have known him have only the highest regard for him, a man too big to be bound up in himself Pointer 3, Portuguese Club Q 0 2, I- X

JOSEPH ROBERT MEGGINSON, JR. Appomattox, Virginia F-2 Called to the colors from deep in the C.S.A., Joe was surprised to find the stars and bars absent from the midst of so many gray uni- forms but he did find a very active underground valiantly defending the honor of Jeff Davis. Megratty delights in iostling interior linemen in intramurals as he had done at Appomattox High. Returning from a weekend's visit with his South- ern Belle, Joe usually finds his leave blank and waist line subiected to close scrutiny by class- mates and T.D. alike.

The Fox immediately recognized his potential. He led the stickmen through three successful sea- sons at Smith Rink. His leadership and good humor make it easy for him to get along with anyone. Jan and the kiddies are indeed fortunate to have him for their very own.

Never hesitating in unleashing his fervor upon the nearest J.O.D., or in conning the nearest unsuspecting General out of a C-5A for the Scuba club, his energy, enthusiasm and drive has made him the Mole of the '69'ers.
