FREDERICKMICHAEL FURLAND Fred, a Navy junior, came to the Naval Academy from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, but could claim almost anywhere as home. A firm believer in the finer things in life, Fred could always find out ivhere things were happening. Of course, academics and regula- tions weren ' t things to hamper Fred ' s style, as can be shown by his overwhelming QPR and the many weekends at restriction musters. At other times you would most likely find him studying for his Math minor, participating in company or battalion sports, or else hard at work relaxing and reading his technical books. Fred ' s winning smile, good natured personality and determination will make him an outstanding naval officer.

After getting a late appointment but lost no time in catching up with his classmates. It was strenuous at times, but he made it. It was soon evident that he is very parctically minded, as is demonstrated by his ability to build electronic equipment, even though he has trouble with the theory involved in Electrical Engineering. As is evident, one of his favorite hobbies is stereo equipment, and he always keeps up with the latest music. Mike is very well-rounded and will encounter no real problems in his Naval career. THOMAS RUSSELL DAY Tom came to the Academy after a year of college and two years in the USMC. These extra years were of great aid to him in gaining maturity, a diverse background, and a knowledge of the more worldly areas. Perhaps Tom ' s greatest accomplishment was that he got a 2.0. Academics were certainly not his forte but if sweat and desire are any criteria he was 4.0. Though always up for a good time — any time, any place; he also enjoyed discussions on any subject and the simple pleasures of life and nature. Tom ' s greatest ability lies in le adership and a great interest and know- ledge of people. With this ability and his diverse character, success in whatever he pursues is assured. 432

He is renowned for fiis phenomenal luck and his bouts with the academic de- partments. His musical tastes in the light classics (Country West- ern) have always been the talk of the company.

His freindly bearing, however, is lost on the athletic field where he becomes a fierce competitor. Of outstandingly strong athletic prowess, his tremendous drive, natural intelligence, and individuality will assure him of a very successful career. ROBERT KUGINSKIE Ski came to the Academy after two years in the Navy with a great deal of native intelligence and common sense.

Ski fought both Batts and Brigades and well upheld the reputation of Shamokin, Penn- sylvania. Rarely seen without a cigarette. Ski was aslo undisputed coffee drinking champ. In his earlier years he was quite a mover but this came to a screeching halt after 3 c year. Being an ex-submariner, anyway, and not known for his sense of direction (as evidenced by one night in Philadelphia) Ski should have a promising tour on the boats.

Jim was always willing to help a friend, as was evidenced by the well worn path to his desk during study hour. His excellence carried into athletics as well. He has been a top man on the Brigade boxing team for four years and always right in there helping those company sports. Moose ' s fine achievement and easygoing per- sonality have gained him the friendship and respect of all those who knew him. He will surely be a welcome asset to the Navy and to all who are associated with him. JAMES BRUCE MclLVAINE Jim came to the Naval Academy from Canton, Ohio. Jim wasted no time in giving the academic departments a good working over by gaining his stars right off, which he has kept right along. In order to keep himself from becoming bored with the easy academics, Jim joined the Cha pel Choir, the Glee Club, the NA-10 and the Concert Band besides being a member of Sigma Pi Sigma. During the afternoon, Jim could be found playing com- pany Softball, football, soccer or volleyball, along with his favorite sport of girl watching, Jim will go a long way in the Silent Service or any louder one he gets into.

His grades began to climb as he spent many late hours pouring over his Aero books. Athletically, Skip was one of the permanent fixtures in the weightroom and rounded out his program with Plebe and J.V. football, company Softball and volleyball. It soon became evident that as hard as Chok worked, he still knew how to relax on weekends. His determination, dedication and straightforwardness will surely make him a leader of men and a definite asset to the service. 434
