ROBERT PAUL WENTZEL El Pennsylvania Sergeant Thought of as a fallen star man, Wild Man Rob was the one to ask for a frank opinion on most any subject. Often, the mention of Wcntz in common conversation brought to mind visions of Niagara Falls and Waltzing Waters. His ability to motivate others was evident on the intramural football field, as E-l ' s iron-pumping, firebreathing coach lead the team to regimental championships. Theater Support Group 4.3; by Team 4,3. NICHOLAS CRAIG WERLING A-3 MARK EDWARD WEST 1-4 Indiana Lieutenant New York Lieutenant To some he was Craig, to some he was Nick, but to most of us he was just Werls. it would be next to impossible to find a finer person or friend. During our four years together, Werls was a man who always gave his best. Undoubtedly, the rest of his Army career will be just as successful. Cadet Chapel Choir 4; Academy Lyceum 4,3.2.1, Cadet Fine Arts Forum 2,1. Mark came to I-Beam Land from the F-2 Zoo, and found the divisions to his liking — especially since gymnastics could be performed on the cross- beam in his room instead of the high bar in the gym. Mark ' s humor and enthusiasm will carry him far on whatever path he chooses.

JAMES ALLEN WHITT C-4 Ohio Captain Haling from Xenia, Ohio, no man had more wit than Whitter himself. Never letting hard times get him down. Jim always had a good word for all.

STEPHEN WILLIAM WHITTEY F-4 Massachusetts Lieutenant Steve will always be remembered for his winning ways at Backgammon and Dice. His winning ways in these pursuits carried over into the areas of women and academics also. Steve was able and willing to guide us.

Ward brought the best of the South with him to West Point Whether booting a football into the clouds or courting a beautiful babe, he was never more than a long weekend away from the good times. Always an intense competitor. Ward will surely serve as a true friend to those who know him Football 4.3,2,1- 599

JAMES Florida PATRICK WELLS E-1 Lieutenant Few people at West Point, or anywhere else, know the value of sincerity and hard work better than this outgoing Floridian. Jim ' s dedication towards West Point and devotion to his friends have earned him a special and lasting place in the minds and hearts of those who knew him well. He dedicates his achievements to God, family, and friends- Rabble Rousers 4,3.2. U Cadet Glee Club 2.1. Catholic Chapel Choir 4. ■■ ' l ' J j ir -i m ' ' « !!l . P i.7« ALLAN DAVID WESTFIELD C-1 Massachusetts Captain Alan ' s good looks are outdone only by his modesty. He will long be remembered as a truly remarkable athlete who could down a case of Molson as fast as he could turn a double play. Always ready to party, Alan could be seen on weekends with a beer in his hands and a smile on his face. He is a true friend to Baseball Team 4,3,2,1: Ski 2,1; German Club 4,3,2.1. Club ROBERT MICHAEL WHITE B-3 New Mexico Lieutenant Mike came from the adobe huts of Santa Fe to the fast-paced Eastern coast to see what fortunes might come his way. Tequilla was his fame and crazy was his name. Not even West Point and 70 hours could change that. Whether it be a flat tire on the van, thumbing in the rain, or pushing the Fury up a mountain in Colorado, Whitcy would say, What the hell, we ' re having fun!

WARREN LEE WIELAND F-4 Hawaii Captain Warren Wheels Wieland came to West Point on the run from who knows where. In fact, he ran so hard that he became known as the class stud in plebe year. Wheels was always one to work hard no matter what he did— school, duties, or athletics. All along the way. he never forgot to live up to his motto: love em and leave em and to have a good time. Go Ranger Infantry all the way! Triathlon 1; German 4.3. ANDREW TOWNSEND WIENER 1-3 Rhode Island Sergeant No one can ever claim to have put out more than the Gruene Jager. who came from the wilds of Rhode Island. The Dean never even won a round from Drew, although sometimes the fight seemed in doubt, as Drew found himself being pummelled against the aca- demic ropes. Nothing kept him down, not even that pipe in the steam tunnel. Football 4 (Manager); Russian Club 1: Geology Club 3.2: Jew- ish Choir 1. FRANCIS JOHN WIERCINSKI G-3 Pennsylvania Captain Who would ever expect a former nightclub keyboards player from Dickson City. Pa., to end up as a strip- er! Wierch. affentionately known as Frank. is the master of the pullout with a vast array of talents stretching from solid academic performance to le ad- ing the engineers over the goats on the football field. An outstanding leader destined for success. CPRC 3.2; Russian dub 3; Goat Engineer Game 2. CHARLES KEVIN WILLIAMS A-3 Delaware Lieutenant Hoop started out in the old F-Troop. but shifted to A-3 after the big bounce. He got his game going and ended up as captain of the tennis crew. He was serious if he needed to be. but he never let anything as unimportant as class, study, or parades get in the way of a good time. He is definitely the type of guy anyone would be proud to call a friend. Tennis 4. 3. 2,1 (Captain); Model Railroad Club 3; Catholic Chapel Choir 4; Squash 4; CPRC 3.2.1.
