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.

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.

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.

A wiry South Carolinian, Bill is known for his devotion to the Air De- fense Artillery and for his addiction to the Area. For his unsurpassed efforts he has received the distinction of joining the Century Club. Stud- horse is renowned for his unmatched capability to consume alcohol. Despite some unfortunate hard luck with the fairest sex, Bill's cheerful per- sonality has made an irreplaceable contribution to life at West Point.

MICHAEL DENNIS MODEEN Superior, Wisconsin B-I Because of his nasal voice, Mike probably caught as much static as any flebe, but he never let that deter him from doing his best. West Point may have given M a new method of shining shoes and a different duty concept, but the basic man-the lovable, enthusiastic, idealistic, humorous, life-loving Swede-is still all there. Perhaps that is why we feel it has been such a privilege to know him and call him our friend. We expect a lot from Mike in the future and so do many others. We are confident this man will never let us down. Behavorial Science Club 2, 1, ' Fine Arts Forum 3, 2, Math ff Forum 2, 'lf Cardinal New- 6 Q man Forum 4, l, Russian X Club 2, 1. X it ROBERT WILLIAM MOLTER New Hyde Park, New York C-3 Bob arrived from the wilds of Long Island with a full head of hair, a rich sense of humor, and a personality that iust wouldn't quit. While serving his term at the Rock, his hair suffered a temporary setback, but his laughter and per- sonality still come on stronger than ever. Whether blasting an opponent off the tennis courts or treating half a platoon of classmates to a free weekend at the Hotel Molter, Bob was a true friend we will not soon forget. We're sure he will find success in the Army as inescapable as his brown boy on a rainy afternoon.

GEOFFREY HUNTER MORAN Salt Lake City, Utah D-I The pride of Salt Lake City brought with him to West Point a sense of humor unequalled in the annals of the Corps, and the friendliness which inspired this sense of humor made Moose well-liked by all who knew him. Though never one to let hard work interfere with the finer things of life, the killer of the handball courts had an unparalleled capacity for hard work and dedicated service whenever the need arose. His willingness to work hard, coupled with his ability to laugh at the most impossible of situations, should insure Moose a highly successful career.

RALPH-JAMES MOELLER Ridgewood, New Jersey G-3 Somewhat lost during his first year at the academy, he finally found himself during the summer after plebe year. Yes, he found him- self in the form of a blonde beauty from Boston. She became his Pillar of Strength , in fact he has her to blame for graduating from these hallowed halls. He is presently happily awaiting the day when he'll have flaming can- nonballs on his chest and a band on his finger.

JERRY DEAN MORELOCK Tampa, Florida E-4 After an Uneventful first four years, an Perry says, he has finally broken into the lime- light after being named captain of E-4's alcove appreciation team. Rising to meet every challenge of OPE, he has regarded with esteem the cadet motto of Militarias Est Dufus Supremus, or in the colloquial, The Arty lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl. As of this printing, he is yet unscathed by the T.D.'s an- swer to the boardwalk, and has the dubious distinction of being the trivia champion of 4942, after successfully identifying the stars of Navy vs. the Night Monster. These qualities coupled with certain weekends in New York and Tampa are why, when they speak of the whole man, they talk about Jerry. fl Track 4. MQ
