SPORTS Ted Anderson r w In an exciting season opener, the football team upset a powerful Nortfi Carolina team. Tfie midship- man defense was able to contain the Tarheels ' threat (upper right middle picture,) while Napoleon fvlcCal- lum ran for 117 yards (near upper right.) However, in the first home game of the year, Bill Byrne ' s passing (far upper right,) John Berner ' s running (below,) and Chris Castelli ' s tackles (far right middle) were not enough keep the Cavaliers from soundly defeating Navy. The team was held deep within their own terri- tory through much of the game (lower right.) 146 McCallum Injured; Sits Season Out When Napoleon McCallum was carried off the field. Navy ' s season outlook suddenly changed. The team ' s offen- sive attack had been centered around the Ail- American tailback. McCallum had been considered one of the top candidates in the nation for the Heisman Trophy, but his chances were shattered along with his ankle during the last quarter of the Virginia game. Throughout the season, rumors of McCal- lum ' s returning to the game abounded. Many fans hoped that he would be able to play in either the Army-Navy game or the post-season Hula Bowl. The injury proved to be too serious, and McCallum was forced to watch the rest of the season from the sidelines. In January he announced that he would become the first Navy football player to redshirt, extending his eligibilty into the 1985 season. This decision was very popular within the brigade, although it drew some critcism from the public. Fall Sports Football Team Off To Good Start, But Then . . . Navy ' s football team began their 1984 season on a high note, with a 33-30 upset victory over the North Carolina Tarheels. The game demon- strated that the team had great poten- tial on both offense and defense. Unfortunately, it did not attain this po- tential the following week in the home opener against Virginia, the season ' s only loss in Navy-Marine Corps Me- morial Stadium. Navy lost the game 21-9, and tailback Napoleon McCal- lum ' s season came to an abrupt end when his ankle was fractured in the final minutes of the game. (See inset at left.) The first two games set the tone for the remainder of Navy ' s sea- son: exciting victories and heartbreak- ing losses. Fall Sports 147 Navy Loses Two Heartbreakers To Flexbone Teams Arkansas and Air Force were both very disappointing losses to the Navy team, because both games saw the midshipmen hold, then lose the lead during the second half. Head Coach Gary Tranquil said after the Arkansas game that the team ' s biggest problem was cosistency. It was a problem he was to complain of all season long. The Razorback of- fense exploded in the second half and left Navy in the dust with a final score of 33-10. The following weekend, the mids traveled to Colorado to face a rival service academy. Although Air Force was highly favored. Navy played even- ly, and actually held a 22-21 lead with only minutes to go. The defense was unable to pre vent an Air Force touch- down, and the cadets took the game 29-22, giving them three consecutive victories over Navy. These two losses were also signifi- cant because they pointed out the dif- ficulty the defense had in dealing with the flexbone offense. Navy lost to all four of its opponents who used the flexbone formation. i k First Classman Eric Wallace has accomplished a feat which will probably not be duplicated for quite some time. He is the first Navy player ever to have run back kick-offs for touchdowns against both of the ser- vice academy rivals, Army and Air Force. His 96-yard runback against Army in the Rosebowl in 1983 began a Navy scoring spree that put them up 21-0 less than four minutes into the game. He broke his own school record with a 97-yard return against Air Force. After this accomplishment, he led the NCAA in kickoff return aver- age. Wallace ended the season with an average kickoff return of 37 yards. Navy ' s offense (below) was unable to score in the second half of the Arkansas game, but had better luck against Air Force, Rich Clouse (be- low left) turned In an outstanding performance, running 140 yards and catching four passes. When Navy took the lead, hundreds of mids rushed onto the field (above left) to show the zoomies how to do pushups. But the cele- bration ended when the defense was unable to catch Bart Weiss (left). Air Force ' s flexbone quarterback. .1 Fall Sports 149 Navy Wins Two At Home The football team managed to snap its three game losing streak with two extremely impressive vic- tories at home. Navy beat Lehigh 31- 14, then came back the following week and demolished Princeton 41-3. Both games were rather one-sided, as the mids began to get their game to- gether. The victories saw outstanding personal performances from all of Navy ' s key players, as well as an ex- cellent team effort. The wins also pro- vided the team with the confidence it needed for the remainder of the its tough schedule. In addition, the home victories were a great boost to the mo- rale within the brigade. 150 Fall Sports Greg Schildmeyer (farthest left) and the rest of the defense had more time than usual to con- sult with coaches during the Princeton and Le- high games, because the Navy offense had the ball most of the time. Rich Clouse (23), John Berner (38). Mike Smith (26), and Bill Byrne (15) all put great deals of mileage under their shoes during these games. Fall Sports 151 Navy Ties Pitt; Loses To Luci( iristi 152 Fall Sports Navy provided the world of foot- ball with a couple of last second thrillers, but unfortunately didn ' t come out on top in either of them. After two victories at home, the team was anx- ious to win on the road, but failed to win three road games in a row to Pitt, Trailing 14-28 with just 3:29 left in the game, Navy ' s offense ripped off two quick touchdowns and the game end- ed at a 28-28 tie. The next week the team travelled to Meadowlands Stadi- um in New Jersey to face the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Navy watched helplessly as their 17-7 lead disap- peared in the last quarter. A last-sec- ond controversial field goal put the Irish ahead 18-17. jgs.rxi ' .- Ouch! Navy Players Hurt By Larger Irish It was a season of injuries for Navy. Althougfi the most familiar injury of the year was Napoleon McCallum ' s fractured ankle. But the rest of the team also received more than its share of injuries too. forced to sit out for the remainder of his otherwise excellent season when his ankle was sprained by a Notre Dame defender. At the time, he was in the process of breaking all of Roger Staubach ' s passing records. Left tackle Bob Plantz was also hurt in the Notre Dame game, and had to be helped off the field. Mark Colby, Navy ' s punter was hit by a Notre Dame lineman while punting, and sat out the rest of the season with a broken ankle. Rich Clouse was hurt while trying to gain some yards, but he returned the next week. Also injured this season were Eric Wallace, who sat out with a pulled hamsting, and Ken Heine, who re- quired surgery on his broken arm.

The mIds were unable to stop the West Pointers from consistently gaining a few yards on every carry. When Navy did get the ball, they were unable to make the big conversion plays neces- sary to keep the ball and score.

The Rugby Club, with nearly 100 members was able to field four sides (teams). The A-side (varsity) was nearly undefeated in its fall season, with the only loss being a closely fought game against the University of Maryland.

Captained by Stefani Green, a three-time All-American, the team definately had an outstanding season. Stefani achieved her 3rd 400 meter hurdle title at the Heptagonal Champi- onships. Seniors Charlotte Monk, Su- san Weaver and Angle Bartosik combined with five others to give Navy excellent strength in the shot put and javelin. The team was also strong in sprints and the jumps due to two returning letter winners and two freshmen. 238 Spring Sports ■ Shri ' Drake (far upper left) gives her throws everything she has.

The mids had kept the Leonard Fowie tro- phy for seven years, until they were edged out for the national title in 1984. They had hoped to reclaim their dynasty this year, but were beat by Boston University and Southern Cali- fornia. Navy took fourth nationally in dinghies and team racing, fifth in sloops, and seventh in singlehanded racing. Rob Poitras placed fourth in the national windsurfing champion- ships. The team had three ali-Americans, firsties Rick Merriman and Bryan Led- better, and youngster Rob Hallawell. George Siook and Scott Harrison were honorable mention ail- Americans.

But these hopes were dashed when the oarswomen lost their first four races to Georgetown, Ithaca, Vir- ginia and Williams. The seaon ' s only varsity victory was over Washington College. The main event of the season, the Dad Vail Championships, was also a disappointment for the mids, as the varsity eight failed to even qualify for the semifinal race. The junior varsity made it all the way to its finals, where it placed fifth. Spring Sports Mk. ' gp ring Sports 293 Every Mid Is An Athlete Ithough almost every college has some type of intramurals, nowhere do sports play a bigger role than at Navy. All midshipmen not par- ticipating in a varsity sport play intra- mural sports. There is a wide selection of sports, including many which are not found at an intramural level else- where, such as crew and fencing. This year, football and softball continued to be the two most popular sports, each company had two team for those sports; lightweight and heavy- weight football teams, and fast-pitch and slow-pitch softball teams. Intramurals mean different things to different people. For many the daily practices help to release frustration and to stay in shape.

President Shaun Callahan and vice-president Bob Poor strenuously prepared their men to fight the annual Annapolis Week battle against arch-rival St. John ' s. Just as the 1984 team recov- ered from its 1983 loss by losing again, the revamped 1985 team car- ried on this proud tradition. The club, affectionately known around the world as America ' s croquet team, is in its third year of existance as a twin-purposed organization: it shows the public the lighter size of Academy life, and fulfills the midshipmen ' s de- sire to excell at everything they do. Club Sports Skeet And Trap Club 985 was the year for the skeet and trap team ' s comeback. After not having competed for four years, the team was loaded and ready for spring competition. Captained by first class Nancy Heckman, the team had fall practice meets against Air Force and Army. Presently the team is a recreational EGA, but will be shooting for sport Club Sports EGA status in order to be more com- petitive. The team practices from spring break until the end of April, with competitions on the weekends. The team ' s enthusiasm is amazing - the midshipmen will shoot in any weather and until last light. In addition to scheduled meets, the team hosted a skeet and trap competition for the midshipmen and faculty. Club Sports .

The catalyst behind all spirit activities as Mr. Pep, Shaun Callahan. Shaun ' s ideas, energy, and showman- ship served to insure the success of all pep rallies and sideline activities. The Brigade Activities Committee ' s motto was a commitment to excellence. Ex- cellence was achieved. One part of the BAC, the Art and Print Club, supported the Brigade through spirit-related posters and the painting of Tecumseh, which was adorned for all of the home football games, the Army-Navy game, and the Commissioning Week. The Club, made up mostly from members of the Ninth Company, got most of its ideas for posters and Tecumsah from the BRIGADE ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE 274 Extra Curricular Activities suggestions of midshipmen and visi- tors in the yard. Hard working and, dedicated, the Art and Print Club triec to make life at Navy a little more pleasant by adding a bit of color. The Navy cheerleading squad con- sisted of sixteen midshipmen from all four classes throughout the Brigade Their season began a week before the Brigade returned with a week long camp and continued throughout the academic year. Not only did the cheerleaders promote spirit within the Brigade for the Navy football team, but encouraged enthusiastic support for all Navy athletics during the year. The Navy cheerleaders are a dedicat- ed group of individuals, who although might not be the ones to actively de- feat an opponent, are there in spirit every step of the way. The Pep Band contributed to the Brigade Activities Committee by pro- viding music for pep rallies, cheerlead- ing, and spirit at various sporting events, including Navy football games. Their most exciting event was playing at the Pentagon Pep Rally in Washington, D.C. during Army week, but the entire year was packed with fun-filled activity.

The Corps performs daily at military formations, formal Parades, sporting events, spirit activities, and, w hen called upon, numerous civic activities in the Annapolis, Maryland area. In addition, the corps represents the Naval Academy and the U.S. Navy by performing around the Unit- ed States in both marching shows and concerts. This year the Corps performed at all Navy football games, with the exception of North Carolina, as well as for the New York Jets-Miami Dolphins and the St. Lou- is Cardinals-Dallas Cowboys games. During Christmas leave, the Corps toured the Southeastern United States including Disneyworld and Epcot Centers, and later in the year performed at the Serenade in Brass in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Corps competed this year in the Interservice Academy Drum and Bugle Corps Competition against the U.S. Air Force Academy coinciding with the Navy-Air Force Football Game. The Corps directs its own shows without fulltime professional assis- tance during the very limited free time available to midshipmen at the Naval Academy. All midshipmen in the Drum and Bugle Corps must meet the same stiff academic and military requirements imposed upon all midshipmen at the Academy. Valuable musical instruction is re- ceived from enlisted musical instruc- tors from the U.S. Navy Band in Annapolis, Maryland. 280 Extra Cumcular Aclivit r FALL STAFF: COMMANDER: M LCDR MARK BOEHLE (15 CO) SUB COMMANDER: M LT RALPH ARCARO (29 CO) OPERATIONS: M LTJG ERIC GARDNER (5 CO) ADMINISTRATION: M LTJG KIMBERLY ANDERSON (19 CO) SUPPLY: M LTJG THOMAS WILLIAMSON (29 CO) SPRING STAFF: COMMANDER: M LCDR CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS (29 CO) SUB COMMANDER: M LT RICHARD VON WOHLD (13 CO) OPERATIONS: M LTJG EDWIN BRZEZINSKI (32 CO) ADMINISTRATION: M LTJG ERNEST HERNANDEZ (13 CO) SUPPLY: M LTJG LESTER OLSON (28 CO) Extra Curricular Activities jTST ' : .

Some of the activities the PRC midshipmen were in- volved with included the many sporting events held during the spring and fall semester and all Commissioning Week festivities. This highly motivated group of young men and women played an important role in projecting the Naval Academy in a positive manner to local and national media. RING DANCE John Worman and his staff worked hard to ensure that every member of the class of ' 86 had A Night to Remember on May 18, 1985. The great amount of time and effort that the ' 86 Ring Dance Committee put into the planning and preparation of the Ring Dance was evi- denced by the success of the evening and truly appreciat- ed by all members of the class of 1986. 288 Extra Curricular Activities HOP COMMITTEE The Hop Committee, provided the Brigade with the chance to get away from the rigors of Academy life and relax a bit. The BSAC was responsible for the weekly dances, semi-formals, and formals held in Dahlgren Hall. This year saw the exciting addition of a new $12,000 video sound system in the M-Club. The Hop Committee sponsored the Halloween Costume Dance, all the Commissioning Week dances, and provided bands for post-footall game semi-for- mals, but their biggest and most successful projects were the Army Navy Informal and the unforgettable Ring Dance. Extra Curricular Activities 289 TRIDENT CALENDAR The Trident Calendar staff publishes the annual Trident Calendar that is found on almost every mids desk. The pub- lication includes pictures, cartoons and quotes for every week of the year. Also to be found are dates near and dear to all midshipman ' s heart; leave dates, holidays and football games. This coming year the club plans to sell the calendars at all home football games. REEF POINTS The Reef Points is better known and The Plebe ' s Bible. It has the history the the Navy, the Academies, Yard Gouge, important weapons platforms and weapons among numerous other important information. Being one of the first things issued to a plebe, it remains with them throughout the entire summer, plebe year and is often used as an upperclassman. 290 Extra Curricular Activities WRNV is the Academy ' s rock on the Bay. The radio station was run this year entirely by the midshipmen with the support ot an officer representa- tive, it was operated on the frequency of 89.7 FM in full stereo. The staff of ap- proximately 70 midshipmen produced and DJ-ed their own shows as well as recorded taped shows to provide 24 hours of broadcasting. The station broadcasted Navy sports including away meets of 150 lb. football, lacrosse, rug- by, and wrestling. A news staff reported local school events along with world news. Also provided by the station was a PA system that was used by the Brigade Activities Committee at home football games and by other activities desiring its use. The engineering staff had the re- sponsibility of repairing and maintaining the station ' s $80,000 worth of equip- ment. This year ' s staff included Anthony Landauer (Station Manager), Herb Nico- lay (Asst. Manager), Dean Sun (Chief Engineer), Floyd Devine (DJ Program Di- rector), and Mike Borrosh (Music Pro- gramming Director). WRNV 291 The LOG magazine serves as the primary creative outlet for the Brigade. For the last 74 years the LOG has allowed midshipmen to poke fun at them- selves, their officers, the world in general, and adminis- tration in particular. Always looking for a few sacred cows (Y.P. ' s, P-rades, people from New Jersey) to butcher, the 1984-85 staff included Thorn Parham (Edi- tor), Rich Getty (Executive Editor), Bob Poor (Managing Editor), and Dave Lesser (Features Editor). - ' ' St h r HO KISSING OK HOLDING- HA.NDS TU6LlC ...VAIArARE YOU bECOMlMG?

The staff is composed of midshipmen who handle all aspects from contracts, to design, to layout, to business - every- thing including the spending of the $300,000 used in producing the LUCKY BAG. They work hard for unique awards. They don ' t get scholarships like most other schools, but things that only a mid- shipman would understand and appreciate. The most important aspect is that which happens after graduation. There are only three things a class leaves be- hind at the Academy after Graduation Day. First is the class gift, second is the names of various class members on the numerous planks around the yard, and third is the LUCKY BAG. Extra Curricular Activities Extra Curricular Activities 295 The Photography Club offers midship- men the opportunity to learn the art of photography providing both black white and color darkroom facilities. All a midshipman needs to join is a camera and the desire to learn. Experienced club mem- bers instruct new members in photography styles and darkroom techniques. Occa- sional guest speakers also provide tips for improvement. The cub, once barely recog- nized, is gaining popularity. The highlights of this year ' s activities were the second annual Homecoming Pho- tographic Contest, sponsored by the Cre- ative Arts Committee; and a spring excursion to the National Geographic Soci- ety. This year the club also became more involved with the brigade by sending mem- bers to take pictures at various activities and sporting events for other clubs and in- tramural sports teams.

This year the Club sponsored many activities which gave the midshipmen a chance to have fun with their little brothers and sisters, such as attending Navy home football games, Halloween and Christmas parties, and several picnics. They also held a skating party in Dahlgren hall and a bowl-a- thon during second semester. The Big Brothers and Big Sisters organi- zation has long been recognized as a vibrant and thriving EGA at the Naval Academy. Extra Curricular Activities 299 VTNA i TNA is the Naval Academy ' s ' ' Aviation Training Program which instructs interested first and second class midshipman in the ba- sics of flight. The goal of the pro- gram IS to motivate midshipman toward careers in Naval Aviation. Ground School instruction is pro- vided prior to the first flight by Na- val Aviators stationed at USNA. Upon succesful completion of the VTNA Ground School test, mid- shipman begin a ten flight syllabus, their goal being solo flight. Flight in- struction is provided by FAA ap- proved instructors in the Cherokee Warrior II, a single-engine, fixed- gear monoplane. Midshipman must provide their own transportation to Tipton Army Airfield at Fort Meade, Maryland. VTNA provides midshipman with the opportunity to fly at no cost to the individual. Data from Naval Avi- ation Schools Command at Pensa- cola has determined that flight school candidates with VTNA ex- perience had only ' .2 the attrition rate of other Academy graduate candidates. Midshipman who are undecided as to their service selec- tion will find this program useful in making a career decision. 300 Extra Currlcular Activities ifa Extra Curricular Activities 301 ASTRONOMY CLUB This year, the Astronomy Club provided its members with a view of the growing field of astronomy. Each individual was given the op- portunity to further his own interests in the field by utilizing the facilities provided to the Club, including the Naval Academy observatory which houses a 16-inch reflector telescope to allow observations of the heavens. The Luce Hall Planetarium enhanced members ' knowledge of the heavens by exploring different ways to apply that knowledge for practical use, such celestial navigation. MODEL RAILROAD CLUB The fvlodel Railroad Club has just the niche for all model builders. From layout design to diarama construction, its two hundred square foot layout offered endless possibilities for all model train enthusiasts this year. The spaces, located in Dahlgren Hall, provided a warm ref- uge, during the winter months for fun and fellow- ship. Besides working in the clubs layout, they also made trips to area shows. These shows provided them with new ideas and creations to integrate into their own layout. 302 Extra Curricular Activities i . BLACK STUDIES CLUB The Black Studies Club was designed to help increase the knowledge of its mem- bers in the areas of Black history and Black heritage. It served as an ear to the rest of the world bringing to the members of the club cur- rent events concerning Blacks around the world. The Black Studies Club also served to help the Black midshipman to adjust to the social change which the Academy brings about. One of our major events this year was Black History Month. We brought in notable Black Americans who have contributed to the effort of making all Americans more aware of the contri- butions Blacks have made to this country. NESA The National Eagle Scout Association, U. S. Naval Academy chapter was estab- lished in 1983 with the purpose of allowing eagle scouts at the Academy to remain active in boy scouting, it has over 175 active members, mak- ing it one of the largest ECA ' s currently orga- nized. Various club activities include helping local boy scout and cub scout groups with their training and program requirements. This year, NESA sent some of its members to the Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico, to participate in leadership training, fol- lowed by a week in the field actually spent lead- ing a troop of boy scouts. One of the club ' s members was also invited to serve on the head- quarters staff of the 30,000 scout strong Nation- al Scout Jamboree during the summer. The club hopes to remain as active in the next few years, and grow as large as approximately 10% of the brigade. For that many midshipmen are eagle scouts, as well as the superintendant. Extra Curricular Activities 303 .Jk 304 Extra Curricular Activities SCUBA CLUB The Scuba Club ' s main goal is to pro- mote sport diving throughout the Bri- gade. As a result of scuba diving ' s tremendous popularity, the club is the larg- est ECA at the Academy. The Club has four functions: organize the Basic Open Water Scuba Class, organize advanced scuba classes, sponsor recreational dives, and promote individual diving. The first of these functions is by far the most participated in, a third of the Brigade is qualified as a Basic Open Water Scuba Diver. The completion of the basic course, which includes an open water qualification dive, earns the student a scuba qualifica- tion sanctioned by the Professional Associ- ation of Diving Instructors (PADI), an internationally recognized organization. The Club owes its thanks to John Kiser, John Vorndick, the midshipmen instruc- tors, and the Officers at the Academy who made this extensive qualification process possible. Through the efforts of the Executive Committee of the club, experienced divers are encouraged to go on to dive in the Chesapeake Bay for oysters, to dive off the New Jersy Coast for lobster, to dive in the local flooded rock quarries for further expe- rience, and to trek down to Key Largo ' s John Penekamp National Underwater State Park for fun. Extra Curricular Activities 305 SPORTSMAN The Sportsman ' s Club provided opportunities for members of the brigade to participate in a variety of outdoor sports, including camping, skiing, mountain climbing, and white vk ater rafting. One excursion w as planned for each semester, but occa- sionally a member gathered a group for informal camping trips. The club also regularly lent out camping and climbing equipment to the brigade to use. The officers for 1984-85 were Col Buckmelter, USAF (Officer Rep.), Midn Dale Newhart (President), and Midn Erik Adams (First Lieutenant). ORIENTEERING The 1984-85 Orienteering Club is by far the larg- est and most competitive one in the history of Naval Academy Orienteering. Although the club has existed for only four years, interest and participation has steadily increased. The current team enjoys a membership of close to forty midshipmen, both male and female. The Navy team usually makes Sunday afternoon trips to Quantico to participate in this interesting and fun sport which is a hybrid between cross country running and land navigation. Using a topographical map and a lensatic compass, orienteers race across fields and through woods in search of specific con- trol points marked on their maps. Although the sport is physically and mentally challenging orienteering courses vary in length and difficulty, making this sport enjoyable to athletes of all ages and abilities. Although most meets are sponsored by the Quan- tico Orienteering Club, the Naval Academy orienteers sometimes travel to Virginia. Pennsylvania, and New York for two day national level meets. In the past, Navy has enjoyed success at these meets, usually placing midshipmen among the top finishers. Nation- al level meets this year included the National Relay in Quantico, the West Point Invitational, and the Virginia State Championships. i 306 Extra Curricular Activities m HI i AIRBORNE TRAINING UNIT Each summer the Airborne Training Unit offers midshipmen the oppor- tunity to qualify as a basic parachutist at the Army Airborne School in Fort Ben- nlng, GA. While in a jump status at the Academy, midshipmen continue opera- tions with the ATU and may even earn their Navy-Marine Corps Expert gold wings. The ATU also provides billets to such schools as Parachute Rigger School and the most prestigious Jump- master School. With these qualifications midshipmen pack and inspect all para- chutes and direct aircraft procedures, thus making the Airborne Training Unit the only EGA in which midshipmen are directly responsible for the lives of other men. ____ .- ' - « . r ■ -, ' r- ' K - W SEMPER Fl As interest in the United States Marine Corps grows at the Naval Academy, so has the Semper Fidelis So- ciety. Expanding to well over four hundred members from all classes, the Semper Fi club continues to indoctrinate Mid- shipmen on some of the lead- ership and traditions of the Corps. Club members made the annual trip to Marine Bar- racks, Washington, D.C. for the final evening sunset pa- rade in early September. Al- ways an outstanding per- formance, the parade provid- ed a chance to see the world ' s elite drill team. Some of the highlights of the guest speaker series were astronaut Lt. Col. Bolden, class of ' 68; Colonel Whitehead of the British Royal Marines, who commanded a battalion of marines during the Falklands campaign; and a Drill Instructor from Parris Is- land, S.C. recruit depot. These individuals brought their wis- dom and experiences to the forefront and will indeed have an impact on the Academy ' s future Marine officers. The hands on portion of the program included a helo repel jump in the spring, a trip to the Naval Test Center at Patuxent River, and of course, a field meet and picnic at the close of the year. The Semper Fidelis Society has been con- tinuing to grow and prosper and, with no doubt, help to erase the stigma of the Marine Corps here at Annapolis. The club would like to thank all the Marine officers and GySgt Frank here at the Academy for all of their support, as well as the Marines at Marine Bar- racks, Annapolis. Extra Curricular Activities 309 YP SQUADRON P The YP Squadron is the most professionally en- hancing activity at the Naval Adademy. Members from all four classes had the opportunity to develop seamanship, navigation, and shiphandling skills while the squadron conducted operations on the Chesapeake Bay during the tall and spring. They also took severa l w eekend trips to such places as Baltimore, Phil- delphia, Solomon Island and Ha- vre de Grace, Maryland.

This sytem enables the early exposure of midshipmen to state-of- the-art wargaming as well as Initial familiar- ity with terms, definitions and tactically-oriented situations. NAVTAG di- rectly supports tactical training given to midshipmen through Profesional develop- ment courses such as Introduction to Naval Warfare (NS 1 1 ) and Tactics and Shiphan- dling {N S252). The actual programming, probabilities and platform performance fig- ures are classified but the simulation achieved utilizing these classified parame- ters is incorporated and utilized by the NAVTAG system. NAVTAG allows mid- shipmen the opportunity to develop a sense of tactics , and gives the opportuni- ty to develop new tactics for fleet use. In the area of color comoetition alone, NAVTAG system usage exceeds sixty hours per week and utilizes a variety of sce- narios to challenge the midshipmen to as- pire to even greater levels of achievement. Currently, all thirty-six companies have teams averaging six midshipmen third-, second-, or first-class competing for color points awarded the last week of April. Sep- arate awards for the Outstanding Company and the Outstanding NAVTAG Tactician are given as well.

His dreams fell short after breaking his leg and putting himself m a Non-Physically Quali- fied status But Jeff never gave up hope Although in the hospital because of his leg tor 19 days - merely 20 days before his first exam started, he was forced to take all but one of his exams on time, and he failed all but one of them Needless to say. that was the beginning of the end-the end of Jeff ' s enthusiasum! Going to two sessions of summer school right after failing finals still did not discour- age Jeff For those 8 months of crutches and white works. Jeff became known as the White Works King. Enthusiasm was low, but motivation was high - high probably due to a very special girl in his tife, Buckey It was love at first spill! Renee helped Jetf to keep faith m himself and he showed his faith and love for her by asking her to marry him on 18 May 1984 Of course she accepted! His mother, father, and entire family - as well as Ren- ee ' s family stuck behind Jeff throughout all of his turmoil You made it Jeff! ' ! Now it was not all that bad was it? (Smile!)

Rick experienced an average plebe summer and quickly learned to dislike coacn Leniz and his early morning PEP (physical elimination program). After all, Rick was not a young, active kid fresh out of high school. Once Rick received enough freedom, he quickly identified himelf as a night person that enjoys the rack by day (often times well beyond the 10 minute chow call). These same late-night ses- sions made Rick infamous with his roommate that insisted on a minimum ot eight hours of sleep each nighl Rick ' s smooth sailing was interrupted when he ran into rough seas towards the end of 2 c year, A small misunderstanding with the company com- mander (known for his ability of finding the perfect scapegoat) caused Rick to be transferred from the 20lh company Rick handled it like a true Snow- man would ' ve calm and cool The entire company missed you during this last year . . especially me Take care and keep in touch.

Stem Steminer Fairfax, Virginia Political Science Supply Corps Jack leH the nest in Fairfax to follow in Dad ' s footsteps and become the second graduate from the Stem family. Jack had to take the scenic route through Harry ' s m Newport, but arrived with the rest of the class for the July 7ih induction. It took Jack less than a week to decide that he had had enough of plebe rates and promply started to formulate a plan to collect a dollar from every class- mate and hire a falconer to tratn his bird to drop a cover on the chapel dome. The middle years of Jack ' s tenure revealed a carefree, good natured lad who was always willing to help a lady in distress. Unfortunately Steve Wils on is no longer with us for verification, but there was a homely gtrl sitting at a table at the Aflerdeck with whom Steve certainly didn ' t want to talk. But who sensed her loneliness? . . . Jack, of course. And when Steve pleaded with Jack not to bring this ' babe ' where anybody would see her, who asked this girl to partake in her first Disco de Dahlgren? , , who else? Not only is Jack an unselfish gentleman, but he can look forward to unquestioned success in the business world, if his experience here is any indication. Chairman of the Board would be most appropriate. Name any Board available to a Mid at the Academy and Jack has appeared betore it Now any Chairman of the Board needs a certain amount of bravado. Well. Jack was faced with a weekend of restriction during Homecoming ' 84 and that. Jack thought, was en- tirely unacceptable. So after the football game Jack introduced himself to the Hon, John F. Leh- man and got a note excusing him from restriction. Despite this temporary reprieve, Jack has served 60 days restnction, 65 room tours, loss of Chnst- mas Leave, and loss of class rates until graduation in this, his fun filled senior year Look for Jack ' s memoirs in his upcoming book. How to Have a ' First Class Year Daniel P. Stout Trout East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania Oceanography Nuclear Power - Submarines r an came to us from the bustling town of East - ' Stroudsburg, fresh from the woods and looking forward to a career as a Navy wrestler . . . after Plebe Summer. Dan found out that Navy wres- tling was only one of the challenges he would face. Dan spent the first two years looking tonward to becoming a nittany lion and telling others they would be Company Commander, After he was de- serted by nearly all his roommates, (Trip, Willy, Louis, and Geoff left for a lite m the civilian world, perhaps convinced by Dan) Dan was forced lo find a new room ' mate ' and make some serious choices. Fortunately for the Navy, Dan stayed on for 2 c summer. He went into the summer thinking green {the closest thing to Forest Ranger available in the military) but came out convinced that he would be a nuke. No doubt it was the lure of the tee cream machine, rather than the bnny deep, that changed his mind. 2 c year saw Dan get a well-deserved letter for wrestling, and some odd looks tor his inter- pretation of the phrase three man room, Firstie year started with a sub cruise on the only undersea luxury liner ever built for the USN. and a tour aboard USNA as a Squad Daddy for detail (his one attempt at being a Flamer) Once school began. Dan took on the position of Company Commander. which came as no surprise to hts friends, and went on to make a name for himself on the judo team. Dan will be remembered for his healthy outlook on the system , his sense ot humor, and his uncanny ability to seek out and consume the nearest gallon of chocolate chip mint ice cream Dan is one of those rare people who is always happy to help, or give encouragement when it is most needed. He will be missed, and we wish him the best in whatever he does. LC and GPO Timothy G.J. Szymanski Ski Wilmington.

Marcelia The Polish Hammer went on to win the plebe summer boxing championship and breeze through plebe year with a quick side step of the ac board. Youngster year brought the departure of Vin-dog and the start of some truly incredible magazine wars. First semester slid by quietly for Ski except for a not brief enough encounter with the early morning breakfast club as a result of some over zealous wall climbing activities To whomever it may concern, I once heard him say it was worth it. Spring brought Ski his first varsity letter as an exceptional wrestler and led mto the first of two I love Norfolk VA. cruises. Second class year ar- rived and so did trips lo Patton ' s, our first two man room, orange smashing at finals and an all impor- tant engagement, about which he never recieved enough flak. Second class summer memories .... Pensacola, enough said With just a tad extra pro- fessional competency review and an all too short a stay at Keuka Lake.

To make matters even worse.

Since then, this gentle giant, always referred to as Skip , has real- ized that USNA IS more than just a party school, and being here for four years is more than just a party Academically. Skip survived. After three and a half years of being plagued, punished, and perse- cuted by the Mechanical Engineering dept., he ad- mechamcal, but what a great battle he waged. Skip did his best work outside the classroom. He paralleled the Bad News Bears story when he coached the football team — decades of losmg tra- ditions were forgotten m a smgle season. He was nominated tor a Golden Glove after living with Steve D He frequently taxied various assemblages ol animals to G-town and the Vous for all night festivities and always returned them alive.

Billy Graham he ' s not — )ust ask the girls from Goucher, King Fenton of Winslow House he came, he saw, and he conquered (not necessarily in that order). All his women had one thing in common — they all had boyfriends. Girls also helped Bill to adjust, as he found a surefire cure for homesickness in P. and C. Mentally the academy did all it could. He never did learn to speak, but he did get his degree in Naval Architecture. One day he walked into the Hydrostatic Lab and saw all the neat little boats and the expensive equipment, and he knew he had found his place. Four years later, Bill stil! thinks Naval Architecture is simply a matter ot sticking a 250 HP Evinrude on the back of a Boston Whaler — the better the design, the louder the engine. Well rested, well tested was Bill ' s motto, and he started studying for tests four weeks m advance, in class as well as in the rack Physically there wasn ' t much left to develop. A state champ wrestler, winner of the NAPS Most Outstanding Athlete Award, Bill rolled into the academy ready to tear up Navy wrestling and win himself a national championship After three gruel- ing years giving his all to Navy wrestling. Bill finally won his varsity letter — in 150 lb football Not everyone can be a national champ He ' s one jammin ' good guy and a great friend- If any of Bill ' s future fellow officers are reading this — Do you know where your wife is?

I know because I was Bob Underwood ' s roommate for a semester (and so was a certain Batt Commander). Many a study hour, guys (and occasional gals) would come to the room and. if he wasn ' t there (91 6% of the time he wasn ' t), they would ask where Bob could be found. If he was there. Bob would slmg bull for a while and some- times he ' d pull out the old guitar and lay down a few tunes Yes, Bob was a crooner, He even made a tape of his songs (which he made a few hundred copies of and gave as chnslmas gifts).

CDR Casual adopted this wayward soul, even though he smells like a hockey goalie (co-captam) and he belches and farts A LOT He developed some custom habits along the way, such as sleep- ing all the time {class included), throwing fruit as a weapon, and using a candle for purposes other than lighting the way His uniform appearance was always impeccable.

Ed ' s quick wit. sense ol humor, amazing imagination. and musical abilities enabled him to make any situ- ation that much more interesting As we all did, Ed experienced many changes during his term at USNA. Some were obvious; some were subtle. Dur- ing plebe year, Ed was convinced to quit the YP squadron and go out for Ltwt. crew. While he did not fall in love with rowing, he did become addicted to fitness. Fitness and his martial arts skills he pur- sued relentlessly. He transformed himself from a shapeless slug into a man to be reckoned with on anyone ' s terms. While this is a credit m itself, it is more an indication ol his intense character and his dedication to those things he believes in Of course there are things about Ed which will never change and things which will never change soon enough. At times Ed ' s career at USNA seemed to be a series of confrontations with walls, doors, roommates, and innocent bystanders As long as he can keep his temper, his hands, and his feet under control, he will be allright Ed. remember what G Thorogood said about us hot-headed men But most impor- tantly.

(Emirs engaged! Seriously Mags, we flew to Penn- sylvania this weekend ) or found someone to abuse (Nice brick, Gramps!) Mark was always scoping out a potential date and ended up with some interesting ones There was the high school- er, the Trinity neandrathal woman, the sweatshirt girl, and. of course, the wife in Pensacola to name a few.

We all knew that Dave was not an ordinary plebe from the very be- ginning on 1-Day His squad leaders had fun watch- ing him rant about the most insignificant things. Nobody sweats the details like D A Magnoni, Dave quickly gained the nickname wheels younster year when caught driving within the 7-mile limit by his favorite female 5-striper, Dave used his lost weekends to excel in the Systems Engineering ma- jor. It t)ecame apparent to all of us that Dave was the one to see about computer related problems. When talking to Dave about computers, we would often hear, It ' s real easy, you should have no problem with this. Right Dave, as we all failed our computer programming classes Although Dave spent a great deal of time studying, he always man- aged to loosen up on the weekends. Remember Notre Dame, Dave? During second class year, Mags was given the new nickname of Dr. Intensi- ty by the youngsters He also got his very own computer so that he didn ' t have to waste precious minutes walking over to Ward hall. Dave earned a new nickname first class year While he finally achieved his goals of being a 3-striper and owning his own car, he still managed to become quite fa- miliar with the bus schedules Really Dave. George- town and Mary Washington aren ' t that far away. Thus trailways became the company mass trans-portation officer Dave will be a fine addition to the fleet and will always be a true friend Joseph D. Matza Joe Momma Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Applied Science U.S. Marine Corps Joe came lo Canoe U. from the great city of Philadelphia. To hear Joe describe Philly you would think God himself was born and raised on the North-side. Plebe year was pretty much along the norm for Joe, except that we noted his infatuation with a football. He took it almost everywhere with him. including to bed. Besides his love for his foot- ball. Joe ' s next passion was his love of food. His pursuit of food was going well until he came upon a stray roast beef sandwich in the company ward- room ' s frig on 2 for 7 night Because of Joe ' s condi- tion at the time, he didn ' t notice the green hue of the beef on the sandwich This would soon bring him to his knees praying for death. After plebe year Joe began to excel with his academics especially in the field of electrical engineering. He became known to us all as Dr. Ohm. Joe would be willing to offer E.I, in wires to anyone who would darken his doorstep. Bird also had another love besides EE . . . his love of computers. You could find htm at the terminals at ail hours, but sometimes he would just get lazy and seek help from his friends. What a semester that turned out to be, making Joe a re- cord holder for the EMBC! We still have fond mem- ories of waking to the sound of an early morning brush off Joe Momma also became known as one of the leading fashion trend setters for the compa- ny. Weekly trips to the Chess King outfitted Joe from head to toe in black leather with even an ear- ring to match (We ' re sorry we let it go that far Mr, Matza ) Joe will be heading for the Corps after graduation.

It was also discovered iust hew close Severna Park really is and every Saturday afternoon the Battlewagon could be seen leaving fully laden with hungy plebes destined tor the Clay household. Youngster year Lee was blessed with a new ro ommate who soon found out the true meaning of Ivlexican Meal.

Kevin soon switched to rowing for the lightweight crew team, however, as he didn ' t have to see any- thing and needed much less coordination Kevin loved the long, grueling practices and the early morning workouts, and he did very well. Athletics were not enough, however. For an academic chal- lenge Kevin tried Systems Engineering. In this he excelled as well He loved the late nights studying and the time consuming assignments Kevin wasn ' t selfish either He would help anyone at anytime with anythmg-whether they needed it or not He also attended )ump school and became very involved in the Airborne Training Unit This kept him busy until he met the one and only girl for him After finding Gail, Kevin was never around on weekends He also learned the meaning of phone bills, as Gail ' s num- t er was long distance A die-hard Marine NFC, Kevin applied for the Nuclear Power Program and immediately sold out The corps upon acceptance to the program Kevin carries with him his enthusiasm and desire to work hard and will continue to excell.

Most times the killer workouts were not enough for him because after practice, he would come up to the room, drink some Tang, and then go out to his office for another penmeter- It would seem like a man with all this drive would be hard to get along with, but Dave became a master at leader-member relations.

Throughout life there will always be fnends, but there is nothing like a true friend. You are that true friend. Though we may not see one another for years, the friend- ship we have built will always remain. To my classmates of the l8th company I leave congratulations for succeeding here at the Acade- my and the best of luck in the years ahead We were and always will be a team. To my wife Jamie who led me through the last year at Annapolis I leave a promise. I promise you my love without any limits. To accept the things you believe m and to always try to understand you To be near you whenever you need my presence To do my best to show you how much I love you, for you have become my world, my heart, and my life . .

At first I just thought she was playing hard to gel, but obviously Gregg was not using the right moves. No one sends their loved one a photo of herself and her 45 pistol. That would have turned me off a little too, Gregg. It was not until second class year that Admiral Habel became General Habel. Boy. what a great time Gregg had with second class academics Wires was his forte, with Steam and Megagraham a close second There ' s nothing a few allnighters can ' t solve though. First class year Gregg could always be found m the Wardroom making cheeseable comments The most notable being his great idea for our class picture in a graveyard, (more or less).

Youngster year went by without a hitch as Boothe Overloaded both semesters and racked up a grade point average that would give most people a nosebleed Still inundated with free time, he solved the problem by taking up a hobby or two. Radio-controlled models, a ham radio set. and oc- casional visits to Jennifer at Yale helped to fill in the gaps. Second class summer sparked a love for fly- ing but pointed him towards nuclear submarines as his choice for service selection. Overloading with Mech E courses during the first semester of second class year, Boothe still found himself overwhelmed with spare time. He alleviated the situation by mak- ing more frequent trips to Yale, planning and build- ing a radio-controlled blimp as an army project, training for and running the first of bis two mara- thons, and flying on the weekends to earn his pilot ' s license Second semester second class year brought the whole picture into focus.

From the first moments of Plebe Summer, I knew that Todd was someone special. When Plebe Sum- mer proved not enough tor him, Todd created his own challenges such as betting a squad leader that he could solve Rubik ' s Cube in a specified se- quence in less than ten minutes It was fine that he wanted the extra challenge, but did he have to involve the rest of the platoon? The rest ot plebe year proved to be routine except for the mistake ot greeting Mr Kessler - 1 mean Mr Stem A faux pas that will surely go down in history. It was not until youngster year that Todd showed me what he was really made of. He laid a great academic foundation by earning two 4.0s while liv- ing, competing and arguing with his friend Bobo This accomplishment is even more outstanding m light of the fact that Todd found something at the first Dahlgren which would occupy a lot ot his time time. Todd was not seen around the company area much his last couple ot years. During the week he could be found studying in Luce or the Mech E lab and on the weekends he could be seen heading north to Glen Burnie. First Class summer proved to be a most impor- tant period in Todd ' s life.

Always active, he earned his scuba quais as a youngster, his soanng pin with Todd Zoom Raines, and a place on the EP square dancing team Judging from his SAT scores, we concluded that he had come with an academic waiver, so it was no surprise when he chose a baggit major like Mech E. Adopted into a very rich family, Brian spent most of his weekends at the mansion — Maranatha Mansion.

Now, other plans have been made and Chuckle is going to be a gruntoid He ' s still determined to be a pilot, no matter how many years it takes In the interim, we expect Chuck to be permanantty wasted away in Margarl- taville We ' re not sure how Chuck ' s fiance to be, Alison, feels about all of this, but no one here is brave enough to ask her. Actually, Charles should fit well into the Marine Corps Brainwashing program As the undisputed master of nocturnal activities, he has already mas- tered the fine art of aquiring various objects of inter- est about the yard, rapelling and sneaking around in general Besides, he looks like a baby-killer any- way, with no hair and fangs to boot We wish Chuck -n- Ai all the best and hope he eventually gets his very own shiny gold aviator wings, as those of us on the ground will be much better off for it.

Man she looked older, I swear! or I thought she was at least 19 The 14-l6yf olds of Annapolis will be safe when he graduates! April. Little Miss Brazil, Furry, Patty; sor- ry but the Pimps loves ' em and leaves ' em Don Vito IS still looking for him When Pimps wasn ' t meeting young girls, he was impersonating them The Hal- loween wedding dress was a big hit. What a hairy- chested bride! Academics were a breeze for Pimps. His uncanny ability to manipulate profs, coupled with the fact that Poly Sci profs are the most easily manipulated {because they know it ' s all BS any- way) rewarded him well Consistent 3 and above performances put him in the 4th Batt Cdr slot 2nd Semester (finally). He had his knee rebuilt 3 c year and spent a semester as an invalid who made the Old Man cater to his every need Thank God the knee healed very well, but not well enough to not make him NPQ-or did it? In any case the Corps is getting a great guy; one who is ambitious enough to probably be driving a Rolls-Royce by the end of his first tour Who could forget the foadtrip to N C and. one monumental roadtrip to Newport. Oh man i ache! I say no more Pimps you ' re the greatest and t love you like a brother The times we shared as masters of Dirt Central wilt never be forgotten! Good Luck! Samuel M. Piatt Sam Annandale. Virginia Systems Engineering Surface Warfare Sam made the long trip around the bellway to the Academy from far away Northern Virgin- ia Plebe year found him sitting on the floor in his underwear driving his many roommates crazy — luckily for Sam, he was never around to take any abuse Youngster year brought his two most distin- guishing features to light, his distinctive walk and his ability to dislocate his shoulder in new and inter- esting ways every semester As a Systems Engi- neer, he finally had to settle down with the books and was often up mio the wee hours- or at least until 0104 every morning Second class summer and the city dock was the setting of the famous Piatt miracle after which, Sam found the true meaning of the word exhaustion Second class year started with the attack of the Killer Bees and life in the Tenement , but ad of that fun was quick- ly overshadowed by ES303 and Long John, who made sure Sam had plenty of all nighters m Ward Hall. By the end of second class year, Sam had succeeded m introducing the entire company to two of his favorites, Firesign Theater and Root Boy Slim. Over his First Class summer came his intro- duction to the Surface Navy in the form of an LPH which made him realize how much he really wanted to go Navy Air Also during the summer, came a new engine tor his BMW 2002 and a new computer that seemed to keep half the Key Club from study- ing due to marathon Black)ack and DALEKS ses- sions (right, Timmy Vinnie?) By Service Selection. Sam had decided that his Engineering Degree was more important than his desire to fly so he actually chose Surface Line {Mighty Fine, eh ' ?)

California Mechanical Engineering Naval Aviation Company commander, ShIep. was the origi- nal chartering member of the Key Club Liz- ard-man (Witte), ShIep, and Sluggo were the trio t hat we best remember from plebe summer Plebe summer seemed to have very little impact ... ShIep, as he never abandoned his level-headed approach to life We were soon to find out that he owed Ihis approach to the all encompassing rule of thumb While some possessed other physical attributes such as the horse . Shiep was blessed with the biggest thumb since Goliath Ot all of us. Shiep received the most names during his residence at USNA He was the mam man on the football and fieldball fields, one ot the lawmen during young- ster year (named so (or his prodigious girth) and the changed man first class year, tor his about-face in life Second class year brought Shiep more than one type of ring and unexpected surprises such as Cyprus During the tour years. Shiep was able to cultivate multiple talents, ranging from mastering the pool cue at Pete ' s to mastering the complex- ities ol Mech E (rom the recesses of his rack, to becoming an accomplished barber at Moe ' s Bar- ber Shop (for a Pepsi) When writing Shiep ' s biog- raphy. It IS amazing how many phrases come readily to mind I feel it would be an injustice to the Shiep legend to omit them, so I have included them for ihey belong lo him and ate surely just as much a part of him as his thumb Some of the more choice ones are War ol the Whales II , Aqua Habba , Just some dude, T FC and Riggo! For Just someone dude, ShIep was a true friend to us all and we wish Ruthie and htm the best of luck m the coming years. TYS ERR Thomas Y.

Wells SK Sheridan. Wyoming Oceanography General Unrestricted Line ■ he most rugged member of the l9th Company, ' class of ' 85, came to Annapolis from the plains of Wyoming. No one has ever heard of Sheridan Wyoming, and to this day, Walt is the only one who knows if tl really exists, but Susan has claimed for lour years that she is from Sheridan, It ' s about 6 hours from Cheyenne It was a long time before anyone knew Susan For awhile, she was so quite, we wondered if they taught people lo talk in Wyo- ming. We did find, though, that athletics was a strong point. Susan earned the ntckname Bulky from her toughness and athletic ability She was the only gif I who could hold her own in almost any competition, against almost any ol the guys Yet she knew how to win with tact She only beat the guys who de- served to be beat. It only took Susan a coupie o( months to win her first varsity letter for Navy, and by the end of youngster year, she had won a blan- ' ket for three varsity letters, m mdoor and outdoor track The Bike Club became Susan ' s true love dur- ing second class year, so varsity athletics look a back seat. Probably, the most controversial thing I Susan did during her four years in Annapolis was to ' run the Marine Corps marathon Even Susan spent [ several weeks trying to decide if she would be . I proud she ran or embarassed that she put herseK i) through it! Susan was probably one of the smartest mid- shipmen around, tor she knew to take advantage of every opportunity the Navy had to offer. She spent quite a lew mornings working out, many afternoons in the pool with the Scuba Club, and many evenings k I singing with the Antiphonal Choir (no other group can go to Florida for a weekend and sing only once!) Thanks to Navy ' s tendency to please mdi- I viduals. Susan even got to spend Air Force week- [ end in Colorado (thanks Mom!) Summers were . extremely interesting for Susan Can you believe she would actually volunteer to attend the Air Force Academy ' s Sere School ' ' And she traveled! Swit- I Zetland, Hawaii, Australia, Toga Toga, and Subic I Bay, to name just a few. Susan really did join the , Navy to see the world! Good luck, Susan, m everything you do!

Although Dave desired to be an Aero major in High School, he got scared of the tough course load and bagged out into Mech E and never let us forget it His study habits amazed his peers; all play, no work, and good grades to spite his profs and successfully complete his discipline.

Still, even under tremendous pressure from Zog, Coops managed to gam weight Way to set your priorities Coops! The following year brought new possibilities to Coops. With newly found free time he took up many hobbies with academics found somewhere m the bundle. One of these was body building (do some dips) Other pastimes included calling his Chipmunk in Florida, wrestling with the Hornets and changing maiors When he wasn ' t in the weightroom lifting a load he was probably in the reading room dropping one By First class year Coops finally began to show his military expertise by becoming a platoon commander He had also become a fashionable individual He bought a Z-28 and was no longer a customer of the Sears clothing department Honestly.

Dahlgren Hall It was during this year that Marc really devel- oped his social skills. His book. Opening Lines To Use On Women , became an instant hit after that one night at Franny-0 ' s when earned his nickname. The King Marc also got an early start on service selection during the year. He wanted to find out which service really fit him the best, Second class academics and a steady girlfriend slowed his social pace somewhat, a fact that disappointed the rest of The Gang First class year saw Marc change cars, get engaged, and begin work on his second book, Deficit Financing (Co-Authored with Pat Mooney.) While Marc has been accused ot selling his soul for service selection that ' s not quite true, he merely rented it for five or so years Who knows what the rest of the semester holds ' ' Two things are for sure, interesting times and gradua- tion!!

He arrived here with visions of the Outland Trophy, a 4 0, and deep selection to coionel upon graduation, but plebe year soon straightened him out. A certain pair of 2 c roomies. M L and J K , made him their project for the year, and n was a rare night when he didn ' t have a late come-around upstairs Plebe year also ruined his dreams of a 4 when the AC-board started breathing down his neck However, the year was not all work and no play, tor Rick tinagied a position as hop-rep and started a ma|or foreign affair with a Londoner he met at the Pig-Push, plus there was always his football. Youngster year was more of the same struggle-grades and football, with no re ' eif but his occasional D D game and his hick music. Then there came that fateful night in Franny ' s when he met Eva- appropriately enough April Fool ' s Day. though neither one can decide who the toke was on. 2 c year saw Rick reluctantly give up his football to keep his grades from going subterranean By this time the only goal he was still meeting was to be in bed by 1 1 30 every night But he was lucky, no matter how bad things got, he had lots of support from his family, especially his dad. and a young lady that doted on him. Fisrtie year found him to be one of the few, the proud, the pilot quailed, but the Navy may have to come up with a new cockpit big enough to hold Rick However many jokes we made about his size, he always had a heart big enough tor them and more He was a good friend and always willing to help out.

Fourth class year for Dave was one of arduous work on the Debate Team This physically demand- ing sport afforded Dave the opportunity to keep a low visibility Not only were late meals a norm, but Dave saw more weekends away from USNA than many upper-classmen He finished off the year ap- propriately, submerged for seventy days.

Oregon English Nuclear Power - Submarines Dale left some unknown place m Oregon to make his mark on the world. So what did he do? He joined the football team to avoid the lime- light. What better way to hide a 6 ' , 200 lbs , 18 year old? With no regret or remorse Dale avoided all P- rades and Plebian pitfalls and tribulations. As an added bonus, he was able to break the dumb foot- ball player sierotype with his outstanding OPR as a semi-lilerate English major Congratulations were in order until everyone real- ized that for his first three years he hadn ' t bothered to learn the names of anyone in the company-in- cluding those m his own squad. About that time Dale switched from the passive to the active mode of life. He stopped playing football and began chas- ing women from Pensacola to Pennsylvania while dnving a broken and weary Lemans {a car having seen better days, having very few left). All the while Dale never missed a meal and ate massive quanti- ties of food in record time. All leftovers were gath- ered and horded m his locker for months to feed the rats. Adm. McKee finally met Dale on a pleasant morning and welcomed him into the underworld That might keep him out of sight again (as usual), but I ' ve a suspicion that he ' ll find some way to haunt us.

Finally the hot Md. weather took its toll. Later Wes calmed down and settled for the Pep band and Babtist Student Union during the academic year. Those were too sale, or boring after awhile, and Wes discovered he could find more trouble to get into later. Youngster year also brought Marine Eng. with a direct line Into Nuc power. It seems the Marine E ' s formed a closely knit crew because Wes was seldom seen around the company during study hour, 31st 25th com- pany seemed to offer a lot more intellectual aggran- dizement I suppose. Women seemed to ptay a big part m Wes ' life. This plebe year romance was not enhanced however by a loveletter sent from a se- cret admirer within the company. The dirty cul- prit even gave a false room number - that being the 8-1 head, Wes dropped romance till first class year, or had it dropped for him, until he could handle a 3000 mile romance better. At least this one will result in a wedding. Even first class year brought trouble He seemed to have a knack for making things difficult for himself.

Tom became Company Commander for Plebe Detail and then for second semester of our first class year. Tom decid- ed that he wanted to be a bubblehead and like so many things he sets his mind to, he accomplished it It does not take much arm twisting to get Tom to drop what he is doing and go out and have a fun time. The arm twisting gets easier if you mention TJ ' s and Kathy Tom likes cars and can be seen driving his Saab Turbo around on weekends There are four words that are fairly accurate in describing Mick, Decent.

We are so very proud of you and love you very much. Mom and Dad in SD 1 Second Company 637 THIRD COMPANY Plebe year was a learning experience for us all. Lenny was the Main Event with his fannous but sir ... , and we all sang and marched, following Bruce ' s quick wit, Floyd ' s projecting voice, and Steve ' s nny brother John ... On the Blackest of Sun- days, we finally canne together. When academics started, we did well. We taught ' 82 how to rumble, and they all knew who had the upper hand during the Great Skateboard Incident. Mahan ' s bell tolled 85 times and we were off to Philadelhia, leading the Brigade with the 3rd company Army Project. After the game Mark showed us a new use for his cover while Tim showed us a new use for the 13th floor window. At the end of first semester we lost a great friend in Hugh, while we also gained a title: The Flying Circus. Youngster year we partied. Halloween marked the first ap- pearance of The Taste Buds, while Gene foung a new variation when he used his hat for digested food storage and them put it back on his head. After the Dining Out, Chuck lost his military bearing while Frank and Mike lost consciousness. Seigs tried to out- drink Goody, and Goody tried to light Mike ' s breath on fire. Boner became a three-time loser by a draw. Second Class year our grades crashed. We waited each night for the Dan and Jeff Show, while Marty expanded his hori- zons with the sleazemobile. Hoser and Andrew reached new heights with their rodent exermination techniques and Mike reached the windshield as a result of his driving skills. First Class year saw many glueheads and one manipulated he-man woman hater. Rob arose from the rack after three years to play NAVTAG, and Digger should have been renamed Gravedigger, due to all of his nocturnal activities, surpassed only by Puli and his batty hours. Wherever we go or however far, we will always be ' 85, Third Company. Good Luck! DJo Third Company Lt, Earl Connally ijti Comm 1. Dan Holzrichter 16. Andy Bellus 2. Rob White 17. Mark Poindexter 3.

Third Company 641 i •DT ' FOURTH COMPANY We were thrown together, inaeed a motley crew, on 7 July 8 1 . From near and far we came to become Phoaming Phour. Plebe Summer was an enlightening experience for all. Bill and Steve learned to tango, Louis loved his piece, Wang was a hyper S.O.B., and Dean became No. 1 Sun . Our antics were well known. A midnight 0-Course run and a rumble with Charlie Co. sealed our reputation. Plebe Year taught us the Phoaming part. Hop ' s flirting with taps will never be forgot, nor will Joel ' s drinking antics (The Comatose Kid). Halloween was our first chance to strike back and Sonny ' s artistic ability will always be remembered (fvlajor Lasher loved the photos). Yeah, we caused trouble. How else could Joe piss off Okie Free (Bug Off, Scrounge!). Then came our first Army. Being troublemakers, we didn ' t want to spoil our image. We took park benches, signs, sawhorses, (basically everything not nailed down, since we didn ' t have a claw hammer) and most important, the Cannon- ball, which has become a Fourth Company tradition. In the spring, we proved we were protessional too, by placing 1st in the 4 c PCR. This performance made us youngster jg ' s in Major Lasher ' s book and we spent the rest of the year missing Quar- ters, carrying on and ridding ourselves of the liberty interruption at 1830 Saturday. Youngster Cruise sent us to all parts of the world. Summer was so fun that Doug, Joel and Sonny barely got back in time. Youngster year was good as we cheered on Dusty in football, unaware of his impending bulk that evolved via USNA food. We came up with the best grades of the 3 c and taught ' 86 how to cause trouble (too well) at the same time. Our rumbling skills, honed well by ' 83, showed themselves again and again. Army for 3 c year was a party thrown by Danny and no one left unescorted if they didn ' t want. Spring Break began continued on page 645 04 Fourth Company 1. Gordon Ballard 15. Sonny Dean 2.

Third class year only Rick, Gordon, Tom and Steve went. 1 c year, 15 people went. Speaking of parties, how about those at Sonny ' s? The Natl, Boh flowed and the women were . . . nice. 2 c year rolled around and Ron, Mike (both), and Billy spoke in flames and ' 87 had their hands full. Dusty, now a full-fledged giant, led the way out to Pasadena for an awesome time and an even better Army game (42-13). The year was tough but we were tougher and made the year fun, in spite of everyone else. With increasing weekends came trips to Dela- ware with Gordon and more parties at Sonny ' s. Some of us got tied down (like Dave) and Tom- my Joe couldn ' t figure out why girls did not like his reference to pearl necklaces. This Spring Break saw the birth of the Porch Monkey, who we later learned lived in closets. At this time, our only weakness showed. The lusting for the black widow. Sonny, Hop, Kloo, Doug and Joel all fell prey to the widow. Joe K. almost bit the big one with his late night antics (you need to use the knob, not the glass) but everything came out OK. The Ring Dance was great and Doug got to dip two rings. 1 c year saw everyone getting cars matched to their styles. Ted ' s tree-killing, red-neck truck, Jeff ' s not-so-functional hot-rod, Larry ' s obnoxious convertible and Mark ' s not- so-sensible car were examples. Then, Tom ' s SEO showed the way to happier life. Rick (the escape artist) and Jimbo led us towards gradua- tion in great, if not overly conspicuous, style. We were 35 in number in ' 81 and we ' ll graduate 28 very different, but very close friends. All parts of the Naval Service are covered. As 1 c, we en- joyed the liberty and the B-Ball games (We want Sly!) and as we graduate, I only hope we stay in touch to enjoy more good times.

While some of us have left (Glen; John; Dave, all three; Charley; Frank, and Merc Mark) we will still be a family forever. During our four years we were lucky to have the greatest support a group could ask for. Thank you to the Pearson ' s, the Laurenzano ' s and the Ce- drone ' s for the best parties. Thank you to the Ivey ' s for the refrigerator and the McCarten ' s for the Molsen. Thank you to Mr. Gardner for the time that some of us forgot at WVU. And a big thank you to the parents who never forgot us and sent chow packages so that we could survive. Thank you for a trip to Pasadena which broke the monotony and provided many new friends (of both sexes.) Thank you to the administration who provided us with both new plebes and new youngsters. Thank you to both our Company Officers who supported us through thick and thin and even let us run the company our way. Thank you to the under class who became good friends and even a source of entertainment (the firehouse in 86, legs and a moved berry in 87 and smouldering smitty in 88.) Thank you to the Grodes and their antics. Thank you to our red green track star. Thank you to Tarzan and the rest of the chow hounds who could triple handedly destroy those packages from home (and often did.) Thank you to our southern belle, out of company. Thanks Spaz for your grace. Thank you Lucky for the Wednesday night dining club. Thank you to Buckethead the athlete who could move like a snake. Thanks to the Fifth Co IP ' s Popeye the anchorman. Jaws the not so quiet and Buckwheat (Mr. Elo- quence himself.) Thank you to our fountain of knowledgeovich who was even right from time to time. Thanks to Coch, our drinking and driving poster child. Thanks to Lou for Dave ' s share of hair. Thank you to our new bump for bringing her own mop. Thank you Lucy for managing both the sailing and tennis teams. Thanks to Lt. Black, who knows his grog and the Blue Angles. Thank you to Vinny, the company milkman. Thanks to Coz, our hard-nosed marine. And thank you USNA for bringing us together and giving us memories that we can take with us forever, where ever we may go. 1. Kathy McCartan 15. Scott Olson 2. Eric Gardner 16. Jeff Belt 3.

To the classes of 1986, 1987, and 1988; you will make the rest of the years at the academy even more successful than the year 1984- 1985. — Captain Al Konetzni, Jr. i 654 Second Battalion . im Fall Staff: Commander: M LCDR Jon Mullican (12 Co) Sub Commander: M LT Kevin Leeds (9 Co) Operations: M LT Stephen Racine (11 Co) Adjutant: M LTJG Jonathan Fulton (8 Co) Administration: M LTJG Karl Dietrich (12 Co) Supply: M LTJG John Perry (7 Co) Spring Staff: Commander: M LCDR Anthony Delgado (7 Co) Sub Commander: M LT Cynthia Thebaud (8 Co) Operations: M LT William Fitzgerald (9 Co) Adjutant: M LTJG Vincent Bowhers (9 Co) Administration: M LTJG Elizabeth Gilstad (12 Co) Supply: M LTJG Sandra Mahlum (8 Co) ijKodeti™. Second Battalion 655 I WSEVENTH I COMPANY We came to USNA and into the waiting clutches of P. King, TVP, Jen, and Clay T. only to be handed over to the worse of two evils, second set. Uncle Roy, Uncle Buck, Stubber, and Krista made life very interesting for us. Plebe year was loads of fun with rumbles, the fire in the 1st class paint locker, the reusable sheet poster, and Marsh. When youngster year came along, everyone went underground. The only real excitement was supplied by the Rudder and his blanket weekends. Second class year began the travel far and wide for exotic new lands for partying. The memories of Lauderdale still linger. Finally, the rings were ours and so was the Brigade. Brian gave us some great tailgaters, after someone talked to him. The year flew by with many roadtrips and the return to Lauderdale. As we gradu- ate and look back to those we lost along the way: Derek, Brendan, Sal, Wes, Bill, Mr. Wonderful, Mike, and Lou; Good luck in everything you do. This last year just wasn ' t the same without you, Eddie. Good luck to everyone we leave behind. To everyone in ' 85: Fair winds and following seas. — CLYBS Maj. Charles Melson - If ■ V 1 1.

Susan and Lauren Seventh Company 659 EIGHTH COMPANY From the far reaches of the most distant lands of the US came forty-two misplaced civilians. Five from a years stay at Salve Rygina (the Navy ' s elite firehose prep school), three from the ranks of the enlisted pukes, but none with a knowledge of the adventures that lay before them. This quickly changed with the inconvenience that is called Plebe Summer. Right away it be- came apparent, despite all the bull, that this was a job and not an adventure. We were clearly mislead by the advertisements because bracing up, sweating, and chopping were not exactly the port call to Tahiti that we were promised. It became clear that these forty-two sheltered babes would not emerge from Mother B with the same virtues and innocence. USNA seems to have had the strange ability to bring about the best, but more often the worst, in all of us. First to meet her fate was Patty, who was the only one to admit that she did not like the place, so she left. That left Gay, who was the only one to really apply herself, but her rigorous sessions of NS101 El left her by the wayside. Dan, well he was just too hip. Tom had a flaw of speaking his mind, told 82 what life was all about, and was out. The next to leave was Kurt, the Gee-Whiz kid, who was never really there in the first place. Mark J. left to become the infamous Tylenol murderer, sick pup. Rich C. hit the road before the road hit him. The Brigade made a great impression on Elaine, but too many chefs spoil the broth. Rick got smoked before, during, and after the AC board, end of story. Mike left because it was the cool thing to do. Now we turn to the future illustrious alumni of Eight. To pre- vent future litigation the fan will blow from A to Z. Leading the way is Harold, who was beaten into submition by genteel Kay. Barry gave new meaning to ' working your tail off at the Acade- my. If Keith got big by looking in the mirror, we would be calling him Arnold. Next comes Wilbur, so few slags, so much time. continued on page 663 MV A i ■t WL r i 1 f k A 1 yL LA i « I Lt. William Bristow 1. Wade Schmidt 2. Rich Johnson 3. Don Hume 4. Harry Barr 5.

Rodgers Broad For your inspiration Ensign Keith Brunini Congratulations Tim Risberg and the class of ' 85, you waited 4 years for this day to arrive. Your family hopes all your dreams come true. Mom and Dad are so proud of you. Congratulations to Ken Yamashita and the class of ' 85. We ' re proud of you. Ken. Love. Dad. Mom. and family. Congratulations Sandy. We ' re all very proud of your successes. Good luck in you new assignment. Love Dad, Mom. Craig. Theresa. Julie. Mitch continued from page 660 Gretchen, krnew the most members of the Brigade. About Face, D - - - T - - -. John was the divine inspiration of the Company, born again, again, and again. Terry the odor-eater, conquers The Vapor. Then comes Mike H. whose three years of Greek lessons got him nowhere. The Barney Rubble of Eight, Don was short and stubby. Kevin, king of the perpetual brace and MASH connoisseur. Jim, the wolfman, USNA ' s first space station, weird weird weird . . . With Rich in charge, Academic Accountability took a nose dive. Next is Jerry-Eighth Company ' s wet- back now firmly in Cindy ' s grasp. Brian, the company sailor, spilled his guts on Sandy, then tacked into Gretchen. Tom should earn two diplo- mas, one for doing as he says and one for doing as he does. Chris the MicroLutz has learned exactly what the definition of being whipped means. Bill is still doing Jello commercials. And Sandy, no one is that pure-Period. Mark the Shark, in endless search of Tuna. Tim-lsh, is easy to figure out, if it is free you can count him in. Mike, affectionately known as Tidbit, one swim class and you would know why. Chris W. was never around and proud of it. Brett the Sweat was a true potato head. Eugene the Woz, was always checking his package and damn if it ' s not olive drab. What about Ken, the only one in the company who looks up to Tidbit. Lastly, Tim, Mike says two hundred bucks is steep and he is fifteen home runs ahead of you. Ken H. was transferred and it was four weeks before anyone realized he was gone. And Doug is the man who admits to sleeping in the shower. Now there you have the exploits of the inhabitants of 5-3. They can make it harder, but they can ' t make it longer. KAB CML WHS REJ MCT STFB Eighth Company 663 NINTH COMPANY We arrived for plebe summer on July 7, 1981. It was an eventful summer. For first set Ne had Hubler, Hintze, Groters, and Dyzminowicz. These guys were tough; Hubler with his John Wayne take that hill imitations, Diz making life miserable for Niles, and Groters who took the hit for our spontaneous rumb- le attack against Bravo company. Second set consisted of Skopowski, Metzler, Fisher, and Stank — none of whom stuck around long enough to neglect wind-surfing, tans, or beer. We lost Jeff Richards, Matt Plotkin (my friends call me Plot), and Jim Schurr (an E-5) that summer. We then joined our new company ' s traditions by bringing few color prints with us, Plebe year we exhibited flying colors (36th to be exact). We got to know our upperclass as the whole company restricted for the rumble we had Air Force weekend; a three day weekend for the best rumble ever. It starred Warren I ' ll take the hit Hubler with Tank and Popeye in supporting roles. Scott Hagen, our zoomie wasn ' t even there. Second semester saw many of us starring in our own highjinx, Ninja style. Speaking of stars, Rob was our class company commander, Eric made the football team, Scott and Lochs made the sailing team. Bob started thinking about the Log. Kevin made EMBC courtesy of an observant colonel. Bill Blatter finally left us for the Love Boat, and Andy went back to Cal., because if was the in thing to do. Youngster year was filled with trouble and good times. We met the Flights. The Chinese star incident carried over and the secret Ninth company Ninja Warriors were formed. Rich cre- ated his answer to Mr. Pep with Mr. Goat at a volleyball game vs Army. That ' s the time Scott passed out on his trumpet case. We got our weekend though and an invitation never to see a sport in the yard together again. Our company T-shirt symbol was a drilling Morty Mid with a banana in the ready position labled Bohica . April 17 was a black Sunday for our class; the Dirty Half- Dozen found that pitchers of beer and Led Zeppelin don ' t mix well on 5-4.

Mom, Dad and Susan. continued from page 664 back to Mass., Rick found out that the Orioles were not an option at service selection, Steegs took his two year old German chocolate cake and went home, and Angus is remembered with his own memo- rial room (5415). The room is easy to find, but there is not plaque because we wanted to keep it simple. Niles left because of a lingering problem with a history prof (one for you, ' 82) — he went AFROTC. Phil followed his heart and Laura back to GWU to get barefoot and rich, and Jeff mailed himself out of company on a Candy-gram. Second class year saw us committed. Rich was at Coast Guard, and Ron came from Air Force. Lcdr Leib was replaced by Lt Cain and Flight Lite Nights became tradition; Big Daddy was gone. We finally lost Jeremy, and Jim went to the fleet where there is no homework. We gained Al VanGorden who fit right in with the Letterman crowd. The Ring Dance party at Flights was a pleasant finish to that year. First class year we were finally in charge. Troy and Rob were the company commanders. Welcome additions to the company were Jon, Charlie, and Chuck. We had to cope with cars, Cube, plebe detail, and battalion mess night. Some of us saw Army on videotape for filling wine bottles with their own version of fine French wine; for those who did make it to Philly we thank the Lerke ' s for the party. Parents ' Weekend was great (we didn ' t really ditch our parents and party Friday night, did we?). Spring break in the Bahamas, love to the Flights, and we were off.

Some we were glad to see go however others left us feeling a void. Although Dave Adamiak, John Moraytis. and little Dicky Clouse were only exported due to Frannies Urban Renewal Program, we still felt their absence. We should mention that we did receive a few late model imports in order to balance the trade deficit. First we were given a man from the R R program Mike (the Weird One) Sodeur and then we got Mike (bedsores) Wray, and Steve (Special K) Knauer.

The Marine Mentality of the first semester compa- ny commander was only slightly tempered by the nacho cheese attitude of the sub-commander. The third class were so unhap- py they began to throw food at the first class in King Hall. No one was too upset, however, wilted lettuce never thrilled any- one. The second class had their share, too, but it wasn ' t food. They preferred alcohol. And the zoomie was a great help. We hope these few second class still serving restriction can enjoy at least part of their senior year. The tailgaters in Joe ' s Hearse would be terrible to miss. The real killer this year was the two company skit nights. The girls took it well, and even gave some back. The only reason we had two (they were only a week apart) was because the compa- ny officer felt left out after the first one. It was almost a direct order that he be included in the second show. His lasagna and brown suit became the brunt of one of the funniest skits of the evening. It has been a great year overall. We may be glad to be leaving, but we will miss the people and the comraderie. The class of ' 85 wishes only the best to those we leave behind. We hope your last year is as great as ours was. Good luck to everyone! 676 LT William Burger Sat) Cor: ' 1. John Geier 19, 2. Vic Meyer 20, 3. Kurt Menke 21 4. Ed Strong 22 5. Jim McNeilly 23, 6. Frank Fries 24 7. Ron Dalton 25 8.

Fourteenth Company 689 hm i FIFTEENTH COMPANY Looking back, it should have been obvious to the nnost casual observer that 85 in Fifteen was headed for trouble. These were not your average Real Mids; on the contrary, none of us went Airborne or BUDS, none got Dolphins (except the Boy and Chuck-E-Cheese), and all of us watched Magnunn religiously every Thursday. What can you say about a class who had two fvlarine C.O. ' s and remained Gruntless? Our firsties over Plebe Summer were amazed at our ability to stick together while remaining unable to march. It was when Ac year rolled around, that we first developed a shocking alcohol tolerance during our liberty periods. Who can forget the infa- mous Thanksgiving weekend at McKeon ' s, where the Boy re- cieved suspect aid from Bill ' s sis? Or those unbelievable pizza-and-beer binges at Timmy ' s? Or the foreign national room with Bead, Garce, and Fuji? While fooling everyone in the Hall with our dedication and pro-ness. Fifteen ' s true nature showed itself on the streets of Annapolis. In an effort to help these lost waifs, Grits introduced us to the Clarkes. Dave was studying. Youngster year saw us degenerates calm down a little, though. Those parties at Judy ' s, where Webs tried to get a glossier coat, and where Q got scars, became less frequent. Case also joined the Chiquita Club. Hamman and Pete were the biggest dangers to society, but Dave was domesticated after meeting Karen; even so, we became famous at The Pen, where Tails earned his nickname. Also, Youngster Year was when we began to export our reputation crosscountry. That trip to the Dawg ' s house in Baton Rouge, as well as to Max ' s in Pennsylva- nia, revealed some interesting personality quirks: if we weren ' t conducting experiments with sonobouys or Rocket Fuel, we were expanding our social horizons and paving the way for the founding of the YMS. Colbs established the first unlimited credit limit at the midstore stereo counter while Hense had to unstick his shoes from the Vous. Dave was studying. Second class year saw an unbelievable event: we were all CQA continued on page 693 0?7U Fifteenth Company Capl, Michael Hamel 1. Jeff Henson 17. Mark Weber 2. Greg Maxwell 18. Chris Hodges 3.

T he Shaft, led by charter members Brownie and Doc, became known for its concerts and applicances, while the Cubeheads maintained a level of professionalism that was almost nauseating. The Rose Bowl Army game provided an opportuni- ty for transcontinental partying, although the Andreas family china will never be quite the same, thanks to Bobo. Mike made the Army project and Hodge lost money at Caesar ' s Palace. During Spring Break, Phil made his mark on a car on the way to Mardi Gras, where thir- teen of our most hardened criminals earned berths in the Betty Ford Rehab center. Ergo, perhaps the most quietly demented member of the company, didn ' t go due to a date with destiny at the Crew Nationals, Dave was studying. First class year saw the fruition of three years. First, we had a chance to wreak the same havoc on 88; Boelsch terrorized them with his Texas drawl, Bobo instilled a sense of professionalism with his fine marching commands, and Austin made history as the first Port Batt Commander who could do the Bird . Ace learned that police officers didn ' t like cake. Dave M. led OCF for the com- pany and Bead became the secretary for the UMS. Todd tried to mix Mao and honor while Charlie got hooped by Holly. Dave finished studying. It ' s been a lot of laughs, love, and fun. Good luck to all in the future. Fifteenth Company 693 SIXTEENTH COMPANY There were a lot of changes in Sweet Sixteen this year. But, somehow, even though these changes were incredibly for the better, the company kept up its treasured, lax attitude. First, we returned to find a new company officer, LCDR JONES, taking charge. He wasn ' t bad for a surface liner. JONES, who quickly became a welcome figure in the seventh batt., took no time in memorizing the MHP and must have spent ninety percent of his day inspecting rooms. Luckily, for us, he did let the first class run the company. The leadership of the first class this year was outstanding. Led by Hoss and other members of the famed Brew Crew the company got off to an amazing start. In p-rades we ended up second (what happened to the random number generator?). We somehow just turned into drilling machines! Well, that ' s not bad, but halfway through the semester, we were first in the color competition! Sixteenth Company? First in colors? There must be some mistake! But we didn ' t do anything different than normal. No one seemed to complain, though! The second class finally made their committment. Two-for- seven was a fiasco; but one good thing did come of it. Our famous 2 c Corker (he ' s the one who p ummelled the firstie this summer) shook hands and made up with the Dant. What a feat of daring! They paid the price for disorderly conduct, too: five weekends of duty! The youngsters started off on the right foot, but were soon _ forced out of step. They seemed to have a hard time picking ■ up on the company ' s mellow atmosphere. They did get in the ■ swing of things when they had a dining-in at the Alumni ■ House at which many of them intoxicated themselves to great ■ extents.

(Continuation of copy A from p. 694) priorities. In that regard, thank God for ge- nius level plebes and youngsters! The plebes for some odd reason (are we too slack?) were first in the brigade in academ- ics. Bravo Zulu! The youngsters didn ' t do bad themselves, pulling in for second place. The first and second class were defi- nitely another story. The second class came in thirty-first, while the firsties brought up the rear with thirty-third. Talk about extremes! Somewhere in the company we also found a little potential for show biz. When Halloween rolled around a couple of firsties really had something they were trying to hide. Then Juan, Smif, and the Hoss finally came out as ... as ... as the Ghostbusters! They were great and went on to win the Brigade competition. Along those same lines, we also saw a pair who want to become stunt men in James Bond movies. Vernon Bond and Ribs both showed their enthusiasm (?) and daring (idiocy?) by diving out of moving vehicles. We lost three plebes this year — that ' s a first! What a going away present! Another left to go to Paris. The last one left at se- mester end thanks to tool 2 c Proano — he will be back to get you! The halls aren ' t the same without Garfield the Plebe. Well, that ' s Sweet Sixteen. Most of us will remember this year as a good one and will be thankful that we were lucky enough to be associated with such a unique group of people!

What ' s so unique about us? Well, let me tell you. We represent one sixth of the Brigade, 5,5 acres of Mama B, and .75 miles of her floorspace. Also, we hosted this year ' s Color Company. The Baft supplied this year ' s NCAA bound basketball team with Mr Pep and more spirit than any other battalion. Intramurally speaking, Fighting Fourth took Brigade firsts in fall soccer and fencing and in winter squash. The studs of 22nd company showed their power at this years Baft Sports night taking the trophy. Professionally, we took Brigade honors in PCR and drill preps. On the academic side we never gave up the ship. For the future we say: fair winds and following seas.

Under the stellar leadership of the class of ' 82 we began the first of the many Naval Academy rituals necessary to become a naval officer. We v ere left with a wealth of memories from plebe summer ranging from strange Hawaiian chants after PEP to swatting gnats on the drill field. Despite initial predictions of our impending failure, we made it through the summer intact as a company despite roommates left to burn in fires and pistols with a mind of their own out on the range. We even finished strongly in colors. When ac-year came, the first thing we understood was the company ' s nickname of Cloud 19 . It ' s a long way to 4-4! We received a new classmate, but he didn ' t last. It is not consid- ered officer-like to threaten 6 ' 7 second class with a bayonet and condemn them to hell. The high point of the semester, which was full of rates and all the other stuff of which plebes are made of, had to be the Christmas show when we had our revenge. By the end of the semester, it became apparent that the class of ' 85 had other things on their minds than academics. A strong 36th place in this category was a good finish for us. A tradition was born. Second semester brought spring break and June Week and a traditional finish in academics. Never one to break with tradition, the PCR became another of our 36 consis- tencies. We plugged along steadily the whole semester with no carry-on all the way to Herndon, which was welcomed. Young- ster cruise flung us to the four corners. By the time we returned, we found that the first of the originals was gone. Dave Toiliver went out in a blaze of glory to be remembered by everyone. Youngster year was made for us. Weekends, carry-on, and very little responsibility made the perfect formula for fun. Once again, we had a new classmate from another company, but she d:dn ' t last either. The year definitely went too quickly. The mys- • continued on page 713 f lU Nineteenth Company LT Robert Prodoehl ►all Staff Commanc Adminisif; •¥ 1. Wade Burchell 2. Kim Anderson 3. Rani Bush 4.

Aloha and congratulations to Chip and all of his classmates. Po Mai Ka ' i and cheers! The Denmans continued from page 710 teries of Dahlgren were explored and what little freedom we had was exercised to the MAX. But, before we knew it another June Week was here and responsibility was now ours. At this point, three more classmates left us for bigger things. We have all missed Dave Witte, Sandy Simpson, and Greg Beck. ACTRAMID and PROTRAMID were the perfect experiences to prepare us for the rigors of second class year. We all came back not willing to take anything from anyone and wouid-you-brace-up-please. No more name that tune comearounds. 2 for 7 night was a sobering reminder that we were now in the Navy for forEVER (almost!). Second class academics found our engineers generally going general and our bull majors sleeping little. We also had a new member of our class, but he came from Coast Guard. He worked out much better than our previous transferees. Doug Henke made our yeara lot of fun. By the end of the year, we lost two more of our friends. Good luck Rani Bush and Mike Gradwohl. We miss you. The Ring Dance and the rest of June Week was unforgettable. First class cruise gave us a taste of the future and made us hungry for grad- uation. The year was a long wind-down to gradu- ation highlighted by various events such as Service Selection and all of the lasts for navy. Our Service Selection party was not spent so- berly freezing in Dahlgren, but out at Riordan ' s raising the roof, thanks to a little perseverence. That night was indicative of our time h ere. It was a night spent with people we know well who, if they are not our friends, they are our respected comrades. Nothing will ever be able to replace the type of education we all shared together. Good luck 85, we made it! Remember: Perfect 36 and NO NUKES!!! El 1 mi l| k i J „ 111 ' T V ' Nineteenth Company 713 TWENTIETH COMPANY The future of the boys of 20 could be seen early on as 82 left their indelible stamp. We progressed just as they had: complete wi th sailing skippers, N-sweatered company CDRs (Black N ' s that is), a YP Ratpack. and a refugee or two. But 85 was more than that. We gained our personality from 83: wrestled with 84 (in more ways than one), guided 86, lost 87 (but won a few rumbles), and were amused by 88. Policy never became too clear as we ran the gamet of 4 CO ' s (Birdman, Party Marty, the t AD CWF, and old But I have these Murph), so it was up to us to survive the everchanging tone. From laid back to roaring, and 35th to CC parking, we made the best of life at the boat school. Amid the turmoil of plebe summer we still found time to laugh. We watched as the Peruvian put on 26 lbs. even though Dave perenially possessed the big spoon, and Gilmore ' s private snowflake party inspired us to Choral heights. Hand ' s profes- sionalism peaked as he demonstrated his JROTC rifle dress and Gramps slid through without a hitch. With JT as screen, Hee-yah-uh as role model (what a chop), and 4 of the top 10: we cruised through plebe year without a casualty. With women outlawed, the boys quickly found the way to local watering holes and Saturdays spent with pitchers in hand at Charlie ' s gave way to rattling ice at Sunday noon meal. Member ' s only rumbles and late bull sessions with JB and Busher helped make the year complete. Youngster year we climbed the social ladder to pool at Pete ' s and Tequila at the Afterdeck. Uncle Noles introduced us to Yuke and Jack and Dickie helped us brown bag it on Friday nights. The rumbles continued and the legend of Bruno and Quito was born. (Though 85 never fell). Party Marty lived up to his name on the Severn River Booze Cruise and the Skipper took home the Unsafe Driver Award at the 1st Annual 20th Co. Golf Tourney. Second class summer split us up to experience whatever the continued on page 717 LCDR Larry Murphy 1. Kevin Gue 19. Chet Wilson 2. Jeff Biggs 20. Mike Siewertsen 3. Troy Bates 21. Frank Sheehan 4.

We returned to our commit- ment by storming the Skipper ' s Pub 2 for 7 night, where we vowed to live life to its fullest every Sunday. Monday, Tuesday, Wednes- day, Thursday .... As the year went on, roadtrip fever hit 20 and pilgramages to the Meccas of Goucher, Hood, and Shippens- burg became favorite pastimes which recreat- ed the need for The Brick. Dukes, JT, and Bulkiness earned their stripes after the PCR and closed down the 2-3 Pub. Car loans and Visa credit limits came and went and we had a hot CC parking lot to show for it. By the way, the private parking just goes to show what having no CO will do for you. Dukes took home the 2nd Unsafe Drivers Award with Jim on the high seas again, A great Ring Dance (thank you Eva) showed us that we ' d finally made it to the top. Finally we could see the light at the end of the tunnel. We strutted our stuff and you could clearly see who was the best. Twenty boasted 1, a regimental CDR., Batt CDR., an honor megastriper, trident scholar, and a couple of team captains to boot. Late nights in the wardroom and Burger runs to Chick ' n Ruths sustained our cruise mode. Polly ' s gaters made the best of a losing season and the Jam ' s party at CJ ' s was a success to be repeated. Some of the boys took the ring in the nose and the smart ones wish the best of luck to Belinda, Marilyn, Laura, Jody, Tracy, Kristin, and Shurl. We may go our separate ways, but the good times and memories we shared will live forever. You can be sure many of us will be heard from again.

Twenty-First Company 721 TWENTY- SECOND COMPANY It all began on the 7th of July, 1981-A group of misinformed individuals, bound together (more or less) by the random num- ber generator . We soon realized our next few years would be interesting under the high and tight guidance of the infamous Captain Cubscout, USf 1C. He made his first appearance on the drill field-teaching the firsties the correct method of close order drill. Anyway, ' 85 managed to survive the summer despite Fat Ed and LCDR Animal (sir.). Plebe year passed oh so slowly with all but four members surviving. Youngster year-that easy year?-the Captain had us setting the pace by stressing the intangibles . This included such important things as no waxy buildup and clean fingernails for formals . We grumbled (and grumbled), but managed to survive the year by reminding ourselves that Corps Officers had only two year shore tours. Second Class year-Surprise!- welcome back, troops! -the Captain was back again, this time reminding us to keep our packs on . Nevertheless, we managed to have a good time with such memorable events as Army-Navy in Pasadena, ski-trip- ping in Pennsylvania, and, of course, the Ring Dance in May. The Cubscout said goodbye, and we eagerly anticipated our taking over the company-with a new officer at the helm. First Class year arrived, and we met our new Company Offi- cer. He exceeded even our wildest hopes for a good guy . The weekly (sometimes twice weekly) green alerts helped keep ev- eryone sane-as well as helping all to excell. At the end of first semester, 22 stood at an unprecedented (at least in recent memory) first in colors. Way to go ' 85! We now eagerly await the 22nd of May when those caps fly high, and we hit the fleet, the hard charging men of double deuce . Thanks to all who have li. ' ii ' C ' d us along the way. 1.

Twenty-Fourth Company 733 Lieutenant Colonel Pasavento Ms. Barbara McGowans The goal of the Naval Academy is to train Midship- man morally, mentally and physically to be officers in the Naval service. With Lt. Col. Pesavento at the helm, 5th B att. lived up to the Naval Academy goal with flying colors. The battalion finished both first in drill and colors for the semester and is expecting a repeat performance second semester. The batt. foot- ball team impressively outscored their opponents 94- 6, w hiie boasting a 5-0 record and the brigade championship. Basketball was 25th Company ' s sport as they walked away with the championship trophy. The Battalion sports night was won by an outstand- ingly spirited 29th Co. 29 won the competition with wins in volleyball, killerball, ironman and the two mile relay. The Batt showed it lived up to the Naval Acade- my goal when five of its members were selected as SECNAV Distinguished Graduates. Pat Butler (25), Steve Chapin (30), Adam Curtis (26), Pat Piercey (25) and David Taylor (30) all typify what 5th Battal- ion strives for.

Eaton ' s reactions to a Last-place Finish in Drill. That last item was a new one to our squad leaders as well and caused the enactment of most of the first items. All in all, it was a spirited summer for we plebes, and a romantic one for two of our firsties. Academic year introduced us to a group of thoroughly enthusiastic segundoes who were always on hand to offer several minutes, (and decibels), of ' advice ' . The 25th company ' tools ' immediately began to intercourse with us and conceived a plebe class that began a long period of growth and maturity that soon had us swelling with pride. With the aid of ' Doctor Wu ' and the other segundoes, we were deliv- ered nine months later and entered the world of real men with a climatic assault on Herndon. We won colors for the second year in a row. Youngster year found us with a new company officer, Lt. Pottenger, (that ' s Pottenger). Unfortunately, a great deal of the second class were, like our new CO., somehow lacking a ' thing or two ' when it came to dealing with the plebes. Several of us graciously took up the slack and made up for 84 ' s impotency by tooling on ' 86 ourselves. Other activities included weekend road trips and working on our Dahlgren Quals with the aid of a large set of beer goggles and a low set of standards. Our second class year was one ' 87 will not forget, no matter how hard they try. Second class year also resulted in slightly longer road trips to Hood, Goucher, U. of M., etc. (Some were just a few minutes longer than the OOD would have liked). Mort the Sport spent a semester here — sobered up — and returned to the ' Po int. We returned to start first class year with a new half-size hall- way.

We spent our first year waiting for Capt. Eatem to leave, and the next two wishing we had him back. Then inherited our second mean, green, room-inspecting ma- chine. Capt Hewitt immediately set his camy colored pen to triplicate in an effort to square away our rooms and most of our weekends. Our company commanders, Pat P. and Timmy H., both shared the nick-name M.H.P. , and provided us all with lots of laughs. Pat B. got six stripes and provided the whole Brigade with a lot of laughs. The com- pany in general provided Salty Sam with a lot of dirt, the most notable example being the Army-Navy party. The plebe and youngster couples had a swinging time, and the firsties had a lot of restriction. With luck, it should be smooth sailing from here on, (at least if H.R.C. drops its investigation of our Christmas skit and Luce Hall gets off our back), all the way to graduation. Dave, Dave, Frank, Jeff, Andy, Tim, Brian, OIlie, Tom, and John; we wish you the best of luck wherever you are. Looking back, its a shame we never got what most companies take for granted. Our graduation will provide the Fleet and Corps with twenty-seven fine officers. God Bless You All. DSL Twenty-Fifth Company 739 BSTS TWENTY-SIXTH COMPANY Who ' d have thought, looking at us on 1-day, that we could have come this far. Many of us didn ' t know our right from our left, and some just got flustered trying to remember. I still re- member walking through the multi-purpose gym receiving ev- erything from swim suits to gray gloves, and lugging around this huge bag full of stuff. We started to march almost immediately, and would do so for the next six weeks. It was a hot summer, but most of us survived. Most of us that is with the exception of Neil Sullivan who most of you don ' t remember anyway. I didn ' t think R.C. was going to make it, either, with Gallo and his classmates on his back all the time. One thing is for sure though, we all give him credit for sticking it out. For B.B. the toughest part was trying not to melt, while the hardest part for his roommate (G.A.) was taking care of him. For the rest of us it was hard enough just to understand what he was saying, but we all got a kick out of hitting him with our dixie cups. Some of the things that stick out in my mind are the super brace. Black Sunday, PEP, p-rades, come-arounds, room in- spections, Capt. Eaton, filling out forms, Bechtl , A. C. re- questing permission to bilge his classmates, F.B. for knowing all of his rates, and of course parent ' s weekend. Plebe year was different than the summer as academics and general B.S. took its toll. If you don ' t remember them, let me remind you of our fallen comrades; Feldman, Scarvan, Juba, and Garver. It ' s too bad we didn ' t get to know them better because they were good people. Plebe year was like having hemmoroids, it was a real pain in the a$$?! Chow calls, daily rates, TSP, newspapers, chopping, plebe quarters, watch, and academics were all contributing factors. Who could forget the fine leadership qualities of Theberge, Yates, Connley, Pasch, CD. Jones, and the entire class of 1982. Youngster year saw the demise of Laura Lawrence, but she still got her Corvette. With ' 83 at the helm, things went pretty continued on page 743 1. Nancy Honan 2. Paul Schulein 3. Bill Makridis 4.

Speaking ot parties, what fun we all had at the bonfire. Camp-ing out, drunken goats, marsh- mallows, beer, J.D. getting bit by a horse, and T.F. telling Elmo T. Rughead to die are unfor- getable. ' 84 was still treating us like plebes, just ask B.C. He was fried by J.O., but J.O. got his. Right classmate? The end of third class year also saw the end of the T-head, while O.J. took advantage of 2 for 0, but then, who cared about either. Second class year was basically unevent- ful. ' 84 still treated us like plebes, but Cookie was cool. Most of us had too much work, so partying was at a minimum. Pasadena was still a good time however. First semester saw the extinction of two of our most illustrious ex- classmates, the Wiz kid and Smokey. Yo, ya know what I ' m sayin ' brown? Woody was exiled also, but he ' ll be back-good tuck! First class year was by far the most excit- ing. Coach was indeed the best thing that could have happened to us. Party, party, party was a familiar announcement, and why not, it was the only thing we could do right. Being top dog sure had its advantages which most certainly outweighted the responsibil- ities. Owning your own car added new mean- ing to the word liberty, but it also added to the hassel. Just ask G.P. and L.B. The Alfa Broth- ers developed their own sign language, and L.B. brought back a hearse for our partying pleasures. I hope your memories are as good as mine. Somehow the bad times don ' t seem so bad, but the good times seem better. Best wishes, and good luck in the fleet.

Football games were celebrated or mourned con- cienciously at many ' gaters well supplied from Murray ' s. Steve Bishop had the reins for second semester, and we had just as good a time. The dreaded second class year stood true to form and caused many losses to our ranks, but we survived to carry on in the name of those we left behind. But let us not forget the good times: memories of marathon all night poker games at Brolew ' s Bar and Grill, Friday night TV in Tony ' s room, shared girlfriends. Party Pasadena, fvlark Kolp- A f 1an Barely Alive, The Year of the Dart, Johnny P ' s home made sauna, the formation and equally rapid disbanding of f urray ' s f 1eatmen, and during youngster year, the party at Army, the Party at the Cdr ' s, more all night poker games, and weekends at Goucher. Plebe year brought us Germano ' s Dead Cat, doing the SIoz, rusty bed- springs, and some famous naval battles, including: WFK vs CBV and MC. PTJ vs. Jf L and JK, and TJ vs. EP and FL.

Twenty-eighth Company TWENTY- NINTH COMPANY We ' re the gang from Twenty-Nine you ' ve heard so nnuch about . . . The Twenty-Nineth Company has experienced a colorful past, and the impact of the class of ' 85 was no exception. In our four years, we lost only six members of the original 29th pla- toon: a rumor, a tumor, a flat-footed barrel-chested blivet, a hot-tempered pinheaded psychopath, P.W. flood-man, and zoomaway. Unscathed, the remainder of the class passed through the various trivial pursuits: the time the rumor arranged a singing strip-tease for the great and powerful oz at a company dining-in; the infamous beerball incident which nearly inflicted unbearable payne upon the entire company; and the many sundry and taudry affairs which festered like boils on the forces of the company. Now that it ' s over, this is all we have left to say: Four years went past And now at last ' 85 has left its mark. We did our own thing; We ' ve had our big fling — Let ' s keep the rest in the dark! 752 Twenty-Ninth Company LT John Orzalli FallStaft Commanof Syb Com ' ' 1. Doug MacKinnon 17. John Carver 2.

Twenty-Ninth Company 755 Thirt r m ' THIRTIETH COMPANY We were born in Halsey Fieldhouse On the seventh of July. We took the oath of office And then we said goodbye . . . On that day in 1981 the class of ' 85 nnet each other for the first time. Within three days we had memorized all of the vital signs about each other: names and hometowns. Closer acqaintance would take a little more time. We learned to chop the hallways, We learned to rig a brace. This land was hot and humid The sweat poured down our face ... Especially for the guys from the West, Maryland humidity and heat were a new, unpleasant experience. Many a day both hit triple digits. We also experienced new additions to our vocabu- laries. Ah, the time when chop applied to wood and rig applied to sailing. We memorized our Reef Points, We learned our daily rates. We ' ll never see a six pack We ' ll never go on dates. We were ple-e-e-ebs ... They say the divorce rate today is 50%. If you asked anyone in our company if they still had their plebe summer girlfriend today our divorce rate would approach the big 100% . What girl can put up with a bald and sweaty guy in an ice cream suit? We woke up every morning And then to PEP we ' d race. We stayed behind a red corvette At a 90 quarter pace! And then it all was over.

Mom, Dad, Don, Jr. Tammy, Regina and Van. And then we hit the beer. But, when you think about it, all of the hurdles between July 7, 1981 and plebe graduation (Herndon), made climbing that slimy edifice a lot more rewarding. Now we could utter the famous Academy quotation, When I was a plebe ... We went home for the summer, We went on youngster cruise, And when we went away to sea Our girlfriends we did lose. Cruise, what a great time! If we had any illu- sions about being junior officers they were soon dashed. We soon found out we stood somewhere south of an E-1. Ah, the REAL Navy! And then Commodore Edney, He took the mids in hand. And sent us out on ACTRAMID Part of the Master Plan. And then we were segundoes, The system ' s favorite class, They taught us to bend over And take it up . . . and pass! One thing ' s certain, the more exposed you are to the rules, the more immune you be- come to them. Example: when we were told as youngsters that we had to be in uniform in the halls we nearly revolted. A year later, when second class CMOD was proposed we shrugged our shoulders and grumbled. We ' ll go to graduation, Throw our hats up in the air. And then we ' ll walk thru Bilger ' s gate As if we never cared! Only after this ceremony will we obtain the best relationship with USNA . . . Being FROM this institution Thirtieth Company Jgu CDR James Meinderlein Ms. Carol Kellner Sub Con ' minis;:; )ply: M SIXTH BATTALION The Sixth Battalion has seen an abundance of changes since our entrance into its ranks four years ago in 1981. There was an attitude that the Sixth Battalion Pink Panthers were a bit more easy going than the other five battalions in the way we took everyday life. This might have had something to do with the fact that we lived farthest from Main Office and closest to the gyms and gate to town. This natu- rally led some people to believe we took everything lightly also. It didn ' t take long for us to prove these people wrong. In our calm way, we consistently ex- celled in everything we undertook. Although we saw the end of a fine tradition-the end of the 8th Wing Players-, and the addition of a lot of administrative restrictions, nothing was going to get us down. The Pink Panthers took everything in stride and proved that excellence, hard work and fun go hand in hand. 30 Sixth Battalion !

A fraternity of men and yes, wonnen, living, growing, and experiencing the everyday pounding of tine Naval Academy. Will the class of 85, as they enter the fleet, step back and reflect on their moments at USNA? Yes, surely they will — and they will laugh. The bad times are rationalized or fade into the thick cobwebs of time. The funny times, the good times, will come back like a flood, raising smiles and thoughts from time to time, that are just as intense. But 31st Company is not just another fraternity or company gathering together for a good time. We are unique. Something at the Naval Academy, call it a coolness factor, an attitude ratio, or a unity coefficient, is a function of the distance to Main Office, divided by the distance to the academic buildings, times the distance to the water, playing fields, the gym. For 31, this factor is the number one. Just the right amount of cool, attitude, and unity. We have learned to compete, to win, and to excell not as individuals, but as a team. Team work and commitment along with the strong bonds of friendship and commaraderie are just a few of the lessons learned within the Company. Things like integrity and leadership aren ' t learned out of our textbooks, but here, in these halls, along with all the other things that make this a school of hard knocks. But the harder we are knocked, the closer we get. So as the Class of 85 leaves 31, it ' s not the end, but the beginning. Those we leave behind, and those that leave with us, will always be around. You can ' t forget people you live, eat and breath with for years which seem like centuries. It is not the event, but the emotion — the feeling in each of us that keeps the company sacred, what it is, that keeps it 31. LCDR Sherry T. Darling Sub Cor r 1. Don Alberto 17. Jim Peters 2.

Love Mom, Dad, Mike and EZ Thirty-First Company 765 THIRTY-SECOND COMPANY The Boys of 32 all came together on 7 July 1981 to begin the trek that few of us could see past plebe summer. Four years seemed to be an eternity! But, the busy schedule of Plebe Summer began bringing us closer together. Who will ever forget those precious responses to rates? Bruce, I never knew John Paul Jones said Don ' t fire until you see the whites of their eyes! Even Crook couldn ' t keep a straight face after that one. Then there was poor ole Weed who hadn ' t bothered to study the new rates of the day. About 2 weeks was not the answer to How long you been in the Navy? , Weed. While there were some of us trying to validate calculus or English, there was one who thought it much better to go for validating Plebe Summer. Steve succeeded. Poor Steigs and his overabundent knowledge of any ship, tank, gun, missile, or plane that has ever existed got him more attention than he really wanted. The Royal Wedding was the event of the summer. With the return of the Brigade, our upperclass were not too impressed with our claim to fame - last in colors! So, with the wrong foot clearly stepped forward, we began ac. year. There were more blunders to be made like Pete and Rob taking the hit for Maddog ' s habits, but nothing com- pared to those made by our second class. Dan had the shock of his life when he went into the barn to wake Messer for watch. Sir, is that a girl in your bed? At last, the day to climb Herndon arrived. Ray was almost going to be the first admiral in the class. Alas, that cheap toss made by another of less scru- ples beat you to it. Youngster year was the year everybody did their own thing. That is, except for Lefty ' s party at Harry Brown ' s. What a night! Skel met T.S. that year as Rob was attacked by the chair. But, the calamity then fell upon us. We didn ' t know just how good BAM was. His office hours of 10 to 2 were later appreciated.

Dave went to Army and Bob was almost kicked out for hazing. It was the year that Bornes finally took the concept of duty on board. Too bad he was ready to fry our very own company classmate, Dan. E.T. had the scare of his life when he saw the beady red eyes of Harry, Maddog ' s rat. How about the clan? The Mega stripers ' room began to wonder about Chris, Dave, and Mark. None of the rest of us had been able to room with the same person for more than one year. The clan was working on their third. Even with 2 c academics facing us all, 32 still proved to be the Ac. Stud Company. Four 4.0 ' s is tough to beat! At last, 1 c year showed itself. No one will ever forget the Panther Club Incident. (Eventhough some of us wish we could.) How about the Fight? The Delaware Destroy- er vs. Massachusetts Mauler match had quite an unex- pected outcome - a tie. 22 JAN 85 appeared as if from nowhere. Almost everybody came from Service Selec- tion with their choice. That made the party at Middle- ton ' s just that much better. Eventhough $650 seems a little steep for the bar tab.

We survived first semester by supplementing its much improved marching ability with a lot of excellent tailgaters hosted by the Sharkeys, Wolfes, and Earths. Our company had some great varsity athletes and some su- per intramural teams. We tried our best at academics, but in times of stress and all-nighters, we at least have the Earths to thank for our popcorn maker. Something must have helped because we went from one of the lowest companies plebe year to one of the tops in color points first class year. We will never forget Rudy ' s Place, our Resistance Bowls, and of course, Dish ' s parties. Although we may have lost Zucco, we made it through here and we gained three new friends along the way, the company kids. It ' s time now for the Herd to move on. Good luck to all in Thirty-Three!

With the prospect of curtailed commerce and the potential for loss of life, the Egyp tian government requested that the United Stales help locale and clear mines from the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea. The US Navy responded by deploying a heli- copter detachment ec)uipped with the AQS 14 Minehunting Sonar. This helicopter-towed sonar system demonstrated superior performance despite 45 knot winds and 15 foot seas. By virtue of the system ' s unique moving TV display, Navy operators were able to instantly detect and clas- sify objects beneath the sea. Like all Westinghouse sonar systems, the AQS 14, engineered and tested at our Annapolis, Mary land facility, was designed for performance that is as cost effec- tive as it is exceptional. That ' s one reason the AQS 14 is the Navy ' s only high speed mine- hunting sonar.

And n particular, Link simulators have won international recognition for their role in developing personnel skills in naval tactics and shipboard operations- No one has as many naval training simulators in operation as Link, or can offer as much experience in tailoring a system to your needs. Today ' s Link simulators also have the cost- efficient advantage of being future oriented because they are designed to adapt to the naval training needs of the 1990 ' s. The following are examples, with brief descriptions. Link Tactics Trainers teach Navy crews to work together aboard their own ship, with other ships, and as part of a task force. Link Submarine Trainers are designed to maintain and increase combat effectiveness of submarine crews.

The entire system can be relocated readily, and can be used with any com- bination of tactical and strategic airborne EW systems. GEARS can simultaneously transmit up to 79 emissions, up to 800 per one-hour scenario. It simultaneously measures the effectiveness of the responding jammer signals. GEARS also performs in-flight maintenance ver- ification. Generic capability to handle the dense environments of tomorrow is built in, together with relia- bility, flexibility, and adaptability. It takes only one oper- ator per stand-alone GEARS site. Also use GEARS in conjunction with other EW equipment at ranges, such as the STRC. Will it work? Since May 1984, Cincinnati Electronics ' electronic combat trainer has successfully tested Navy EA-6B airborne crews at Whidbey Island. The system monitors and evaluates responses to all types of EW threats, and provides mission evaluation data to remote debrief sites.

The Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, under full-scale development at Hughes, will significantly improve the combat capabilities of US. fighter pilots Compared with the missile it wi replace, AMRAAM weighs half as much, costs less, and is more reliable and easily main- tained. Most of all, Its guidance system is far less depen dent on the launching aircraft ' s fire system. Eight missiles can be fired simultaneously. F A-18 radar. The Hughes AN APG-65 radar on the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps F A-18 Hornet strike fighter is designed for both air-to-air combat and air-to-surface weapon delivery. It tracks as many as 10 targets simultaneously and creates ground maps with incredibly small detail. The heart of the system is a programmable signal processor — a high-speed, special- purpose digital computer. JSS. North America ' s new air defense system, the Joint Surveillance System, links U.S. Air Force radars, air traffic control radars, and Canadian radars into a shared system. It consists of seven regional control centers throughout the continent and an eighth center in Hawaii. The Hughes JSS will cut operating and maintenance costs by about $100 million a year because it replaces old semi-automatic equip- ment with fully automated hardware. Leasat Four Leasat spacecraft will provide worldwide telecommunications for U.S. armed forces. Leasat is the first communications satellite designed specifically for launch from NASA ' s space shuttle, thus taking full advantage of the shuttle ' s consider- able launch cost savings. It is ejected from the shuttle in much the same way one throws a flying disc. An on-board rocket motor kicks the satellite into syn- chronous orbit 22,300 miles high. Electro-Optics. The us Army s Ml mam battle tank carries two advanced Hughes electro-optical systems. The thermal imaging sight fi senses heat radiated by objects and creates a TV-like picture so the crew can see through dark- ness, smoke, or haze. The laser rangefinder determines the distance to a target based on the time it takes a laser burst to reflect back. Such information helps the gunner fire with pinpoint accuracy. And more. Hughes expertise in electronics spans airborne radar, defense systems, electro-optics, missiles, and spacecraft- at last count 1500 programs.

R.E. Dixon. U.S.S. Lexington. May 7th. 1942 Naval airmen aboard the Lexington and Yorktown were spoiling for a fight on May 7th . 1 942 , as Task Force 17 plowed through the Coral Sea on a collision course A ith the Japanese invasion fleet heading for Port Moresby. Well trained but inexperi- enced, the Americans were out to avenge Pearl Harbor and end the Japanese advance that had brought them only one step from Australian shores. At mid-morning the airmen found their dream target: a Japanese flattop, the carrier Shoho. Diving through the carrier ' s combat air patrols and anti-aircraft fire, they struck again and again with bombs and torpedos. In less than an hour, blazing from end to end, the Shoho sank with most of her crew. As the airmen returned, the words of Lt. Cdr. Bob Dixon came through the Lexington ' s radio loudspeak- ers, words that became a rallying cry for Americans everywhere, disheartened by many months of defeat; Dixon to carrier. Scratch one flattop! The Lexington was lost in fighting the next day, but overall the Battle of the Coral Sea was a strategic victory. The Americans had proved they could fight so well, they stopped Japan ' s southward advance forever. And for the first time Naval aircraft, not big guns, carried the attack to the enerr y.

THERE ' S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY TO TRAIN PILOTS. There is. The U.S. Navy T4 5 Training System for ground school and flight training. The T4 5TS will replace outdated techniques such as the old student status board with auto- mated course management. The system will track each student through classroom academic studies, flight simulation and in-air training. The result is a rapid, uninterrupted progression of students through training. The T-45, a challenging yet forgiving trainer aircraft, will be adapted for carrier operations in the new Navy training system. And with extensive use of state-of-the-art flight simulators, the Navy will be able to train its pilots with 29° fewer flight hours and 4 2°6 fewer aircraft. That will lead to a 46% reduction in support people and annual fuel savings of 48 million gallons. Even with reduced flying, this more efficiently managed system will produce better pilots. With McDonnell Douglas as prime contractor, British Aerospace and Sperry as principal sub- contractors and Rolls Royce as engine contractor, the system will be operational in the early 1 990s, producing a human and economic return on investment for the U.S. Navy.
