GUY ESTEY MILLER Phoenix, Arizona B-3 Guy of Phoenix is probably the best example of a man who uses his native intelligence to his utmost. Ole' Weird managed to take a full academic schedule with overloads, participate in corps squad gymnastics, and still make it to bed by I0 o'clock every night. For this engineer tile who spent his leave in the iungles of Panama, the Army is a challenge. Gymnastics 4, 3, 2, If Mili- if tary Affairs Club 2, l. 'F' .2 JAMES ALEXANDER MINOR Richmond, Virginia F-4 Jumpin' Jimmy was the fastest man around on the athletic field, but the academic departments always seemed to catch up with him iespecially Math and Chemistryl. He probably would have been the best halfback on the all-time intramural football team, but he couldn't catch the ball. He always had a good word and a quick smile ieasily seen on night patrolsj. We all know he'll be a great credit to the ground pounders and live happily ever after with Brenda.

WALTER MICHAEL MISCHLER Loogootee, Indiana G-4 One of his most outstanding personal traits is his out-going and friendly nature. With this, he combines a deep sense of responsibility with a sincere interest in those around him, maintain- ing the respect of his contemporaries through his good personal appearance and his many athletic abilities. These qualities are but a few of the many fine characteristics which make him an inspira- tion to all who know him. l50 Ib.

PETER CHARLES MILES Portland, Maine A-3 Accent? What accent? Just ask Pete, he'll tell you, he's from Bahs-ton and doesn't have the slightest accent! He iust speaks good English. While here Pete could be found scheming of ways to get out on weekends. Pete never wore stars, but he made up for it by giving his best to every- thing he attempted. From V.M.I. to West Point to wherever he goes, Pete will leave friends happy to have known the man from Maine.

RUSSEL EDWARD MILNES Aliquippa, Pennsylvania H-2 Russ bubbled over with an outward en- thusiasm and drive that even drew tolerant smiles at a gloom period breakfast table. West Point's four year lease on Russ is over and now it is the Army's turn to harness the unbounding energies of our littlest giant. 150 lb.

Leavenworth, Kansas A-1 One thing about Pete was his knack for never letting the system get the best of him. He made the clay to day routine change course more than once with his humorous and not so serious out- look on the system. He did work hard but al- ways managed to devote some time to a cute red head we all knew as Patty. Pete's sincerity and his original sense of humor made him a fine individual and a good friend.

GEORGE HURLEY MITCHELL Arvada, Colorado F-3 Sweet, pure, and naive, GHM arrived here in July, 1965. He left only slightly more ex- perienced. His bachelorhood seemed assured, until his future was sealed that fateful day his cousin asked him to write to her best friend. He was still fighting until the first time he laid eyes on her. He will be long remembered for his dry sense of humor C?l and his flying Y's and bats around his room. Claire and the Army have both found an exceptionally good man. Corps Squad Gymnastics 4, ,T J 3' oi' X DENNIS MILTON MOEN Madison, Minnesota H-3 A true Midwestern sod buster, Moe is one of the more accomplished West Point experts on trip sections to the City. After four years he is quite adept at bar hopping in Times Square. On the athletic field, in the classroom, or for spin- ning tales of the barnyard, Denny was the guy you could count on. His easy going manner and patience will make a valued friend in years to come. Pointer 3, 2, l, Custodian lg , lm I.

X xg ROY STEWART MOORE Gallant, Alabama D-2 A farm boy at heart, Roy Moore came to West Point with patience, dedication, and a yen for hard work, Together with a love of God, these characteristics have led Roy to a prominent position on the gymnastics team and Superin- tendent of the Nursery Department of Sunday School. Although an individualist by nature, Roy's sincerity and feeling toward others have made him worthy of respect among those who really know him. Be it a small farm in Alabama or a tank battalion in some unknown war, Roy will no doubt find the success of which he is so de- serving.
