JOHN ANTHONY MARSALA New York, New York C-2 We have every reason to believe that on that glorious day in June, John will receive two di- plomas — the one from West Point and the one from his devoted tutor named Carolyn. He seemed to belong to every club with a trip section travelling within reach of Marymount. He has always been a devoted friend and con- scientious worker. His interest in chemistry and those carbon chains may someday exceed even his dedication to the Airborne Rangers.

THOMAS GARY MARTIN Birmingham, Alabama F-1 Tom ' s first reaction to West Point was How y ' all get in the National Guard. Things have changed though and Tom has made his mark on West Point. T excelled in all aspects 111 ' cadet life, academics, athletics, getting a last minute date from the local girls ' school an l downing a quick one at Snuffy ' s. And in the future there ' s no reason to doubt that Tom will continue to excel in his assigned or chosen 1501b. Football 4; Baseball 4; West Point Forum 3, 2, GLENN MICHAEL MASON Hurst, Texas 1-4 Glenn came to the academy a good clean cut ail-American boy who was quickly trans- formed into a dapper stallion by two corrupt roommates. Glenn ' s unusually bouyant person- ality becomes quickly apparent to everyone he meets. He exudes enthusiasm for whatever he does, including everything from building a four foot replica of the Saturn V rocket to pursuing the fairer sex. His less intellectually inclined classmates will remember Glenn for pulling them through long nights of studying econ and physics. Pi will always be remem- liered by everyone for the way he pulled us through the darkest moments with his ([uick u It and persistent optimism. liussian Club 4, 3, Secre- tary 2, 1; Astronomy Club 2; Geology Club 2; SCUSA 1; Engineering Forum 1; Pointer 4, 3.

wm WILLIAM RANDALL MANN Toledo, Ohio I A-4 Woim, the truest of the Buckeyes, blazeil his way from the comfortable recesses of da mob ' s Old North to the demanding pinnacles of stripehood. A perpetual motion machine if there ever was one. Bill put 101% into every thing that he undertook, both work and play. He was a connoisseur of political philosophy and Motown. Friends could easily find him dis cussing the similarities of Sophocles and Buck- ley while concentrating on the Temps latest hit. Logical to a degree, generous to a fault. Bill would give away his last tenth to a class- mate in need. A friend to all, wherever Bill was, the Alphagaters were. His energy, in sight, and responsibility will carry him far in the future.

Bard came to us from the golden beaches of California intent on making a name for himself. This he did well, earning a reputa- tion for loyalty, honesty, and a craving for cold draft. A fine wrestler, he had an exquisite taste for women whether in California, Bermu- da, Alaska, or Europe. He was a dedicated friend who will cause us all one day to say with pride, Yes, General Mansager was my class- mate.

CARL BEAVAN MARRIOTT Barrington, New Jersey D-: Relatively reserved and hard working, Ott has managed to maintain his high ideals and clean face through years of concealing his hair beneath his hat (and his collar). Whether hid- ing his clippers or sun lamp, his strong person- ality and sincere friendship is always wel- comed. His athletic ability and his appetite will be remembered throughout these still resound ing halls. There ' s nary a job he can ' t handle — he ' s off to a roaring start.

STEPHEN JOSEPH MARSH Central Valley, New York D- lh Airborne Steve is best ri. nu m frustrated gladiator, more ofttn ih.m not u turning from battle in the dien.is of rh.ixu Hall being carried home on his sh)el l Hi-- In quent and passionate love trj -its uiUi hi-- brownboy often led us to wonder which of the two came with the bed. He could be as hard as the local rockbound country that spawned him, but those of us who knew him could spot this as a front for his affable and easygoing na ture.

MICHAEL ANTHONY MASCIELLO Hicksville, Long Island, New York B-2 Mike came to West Point from Long Island with a football tucked under his arm, thinking he might have time to have a catch later that first afternoon. He soon realized that it would be a long time before any free time was to be had. Mike managed to adjust and we soon found him excelling in everything he tried. From starting at tight end on the Football Team, to his great touchdown grab in the Navy Game, to his Dean ' s List standing, lo his heralded exploits at the card table, Mike could do it all. Nevertheless, Mike always had time to help a friend. Roosevelt, Yonkers, and Mon ticello Raceways will lose out on a great cus- tomer when Mike leaves for his first assign- ment. Mike is certain to be a great success. Football 4, 3, 2, I. TIMOTHY PATRICK MASON Golden, Colorado H-4 Mer will always be remembered as one of the few remaining Hard Gore Movie Goers. When everyone else was worried about papers and labs, Tim wanted to know if the movie was rated ' G ' or ' R. ' A man of many talents, he demonstrated his capabilities as an outstand ing botanist at Navy in 1969. With his easy- going, sociabfe manner, Tim gained everyone ' s respect as someone who could work well with others, with a minimum of needless effort and harrassment.

STEPHEN J. MARSHMAN New Hartford, New York H-4 Although those who do not know him are in- clined to think of Steve as a quiet individual, his friends know him as a dry wit who, while not being one to waste words, is never one to let a funny situation go by unnoticed. He is ad- mired most of all for his intelligence, sound judgment and determination to stand up for his principles. Steve is a good friend to have in any situation. Swimming 4; Howitzer 3, 2; Scuba Club 3. RANDOLPH LYMAN MASE New City, New York G-1 Randy is one of those rare few who always wanted to attend West Point. Living only 20 miles south of the Academy, he never really left home at all. His desire for fun and travel made him a familiar face amongst those of the Glee Club and one trip to Yonkers will always lie remembered. He will continue Ui be the same Maser to his fellow GOPHERS an l friends for years to come. Cadet Glee Club 4, 3, 2, 1; Cadet Bowling Club 1; Protestant Sunday School Teacher 4; Lacrosse 4. WILLIAM HENRY MATTFELD Gaylord, Minnesota 1-2 Bill was the ghost of our class in B 2. He started right out plebe year traveling with the Glee Club or chapel Choir and must have spent more weekends away from West Point in the past four years than the rest of us put togeth- er. While he was with us during the week, Bill usually spent unscheduled time either gazing at his studies from under his beloved Brown Boy or just under his Brown Boy. He could pro- duce very intense bursts of concentration which would enable him to finish his term pa- pers during the week so that his weekends could be put to better use. He has always known what to do with his time and will con- tinue to get high returns on efforts as he has done here at the Point.
