GEORGE WILLIAM MORGAN, JR. Winston-Salem, North Carolina E-I Coming to us from Winston-Salem, North Caro- lina, Chip lived up to the reputation of the perfect Southern gentleman. What George lacked in ability he overcame with desire. Although in constant battle with the science departments, he had rare problems with the T.D. and almost beat OPE at their own game. His ouiet manner could not conceal his Fong established principles and concern for others. George was often able to get away from the Point but had his problems in making it to Laurinburg. His subtle humor and brilliant personality has made him a pleasure with which to associate. Our loss will be Neta's gain.

A cadet career frequently harassed by OPE was saturated with quick wit, relentless determination, and finally victory. There can be little doubt that Rod will be a success in all his future endeavors.

WARREN DAVID MUELLER Peekskill, New York G-I Warren will be remembered as a determined competitor in whatever he tackled. In athletics he always played hard, in academics, stars were readily within his reach, if he wanted them. Al- ways a year ahead of us in academics, he was ready to graduate in March of his cow year. His friends, his drive, and his ability to adapt to any situation will insure him of success wherever he goes in the army.

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

BRIAN EUGENE MORRILL McLean, Virginia H-I A convert from an Air Force tradition, Brian saw the error of his ways and ioined the Army Team with the rest of us on that fateful day in '65. He has been a mainstay sprinter for the Army Track Team, furthermore, his desire and ability have been continually evidenced by the team's record. Combining seriousness, when understand- ing is in order, with an ever present laugh, Brian has left an indelible impression on his associates and on his Rockbound Highland Home. His enthusiasm and drive are certain to imprint an even more noble record on his coming career.

He reached the peak of his career during a run which proved very fruitful. He never got anything by means of unscruplous methods. When it came to completing an assigned task, it was always accomplished to attract as little personal attention as possible. Fred pos- sesses the rare quality of the ability to succeed unassumingly.

VA JAMES DALTON MULLEN Oak Park, Illinois G-I Moon is indeed one of those select few who can say that he has walked a great distance without traveling far. But this one fact never diminished his spirit. He can always be found with that good word, big smile, and winning way that is so much a part of his trademark. Of course, he has never allowed West Point to in- terfere with his professional attitude-be it in academics, combat with the fair sex, or a battle with his Brown Boy. But the intangible element that he possesses so fully is the uncanny ability to conquer whatever he attempts, whether it be a labor or a love. To those fortunate enough to possess his friendship, he is a lasting source of companionship, indomitable spirit, and unending devotion. Portuguese Club 2, I. JOHN LAWRENCE MORRIS, JR. Martinsburg, West Virginia E-3 John takes with him the Corps and Academy record of four stars in four semesters to show for his prowess in Russian. Add another in Math and one can easily see why he resigned himself to the ranks of the infantry by the end of yearling year. He's looking forward to thirty years in green and a life with Connie, the girl he's remained disqustinqlv faithful to throughout his four years at the Rock.

ERWIN DENNIQIQIOULISERU cor Us chfssn, r??s?aa' B-3 p From the Lone Star state via the Army, Den made the long trail to the Rock. The adventures along this trail remain a constant source of Den's Tall Tales. Den managed to elude the Dean's group, the T.D, and OPE, thus giving him time to learn the individual blades of grass on the lacrosse field. His native characteristics of dedication, leadership, humor, and loyalty make him a tall Texan to watch for. Lacrosse 4, 3, 2, 1. WILLIAM MICHAEL MUNSON Tahlequah, Oklahoma A-I At Ease, 'M', was the way West Point tried putting it, but he wouldn't listen. Straight from Tahlequah, Oklahoma M entered the gray walls, and his eagerness and enthusiasm never ceased throughout his cadet career. In academics, ath- letics, and roommates he excelled, due to his ever-present desire to do his best. With goals firmly set and the ability to achieve them, he also found time to visit Flirty with, you know, 'friends'.
