5 Harry Chris Demiris Valley Stream. New York ■ ; Political Science Naval Aviation Harry came to the Naval Academy hailing from the growmg metropolis of Valley Stream, N.Y. Better known to his friends as the teflon man. Harry often demonstrated why Poly Sci majors will go further in this world. His gift for gab and smooth personality helped this boy wander out of more form 2 ' s and into more gouge courses than you could shake a stick at. And when the teflon man wasn ' t working the charm on the Conduct Officer or the Registrar, the local women ' s colleges were always free game. Never at a loss for words or women, boy if that blue Z could talk what stories it would tell. Harry showed us all what good friends are all about. A sure sucker for the beach and babes, ole Harry plans on spending the first few years on the Pensacola beaches in search of those wings of gold. I ' m sure the Nav ' has found what they ' re looking for with a top notch pilot like Harry in the cockpit. Semper Fi, my friend! SHE Jerry Bennett Dismuke Jackson. Mississippi Elecrtical Engineering Surface Warfare Jerry came to us out of Jackson Mississippi. When he got to USNA he decided to lake the challenge of being an electrical engineer. You had us worried a few times. Jerry, but we all knew you would make it. I cannot count the number of times you took a nap and set your alarm to get up to study, but when it was time to get up you would say those famous words of yours, IN A MIN- UTE. Jerry, better known as Prak (the Russian word meaning cool), how can you be so tired that you wake your roommates up twice in one night snoring? Jerry always had a desire to be a fine naval officer. Too bad that desire never carried over into bas- ketball. Keep trying Old Man and you ' ll finally dunk that ball. That is your attitude Try and try again if you do not succeed the first time. You have been a great friend and classmate. Keep that smile which took you years to perfect and never forget our four years by the bay. AGC RGI James Robert Downs Columbus. Ohio Political Science Naval Flight Officer Chip came to USNA from Columbus, Ohio, but eventuaUy worked his way out of that handicapped start. He was my most reliable running partner and always maintained a happy-go-lucky attitude that made him fun to be around. Best of luck always, and may you and Beth find everlasting happiness. — Jeff Body by surburst. You never failed to amaze me with your culinary ex- ploits It ' s been a pleasure to be your friend over these years. How else could I have met all those babes on the beach in Ohio? I wish you and Beth the best in your lives together. Remember, P-3 ' s are 1. — Rich Wow what a roommate. I can ' t believe we ' re still sane after three years together. I will admit you are a great guy, but don ' t act like you ' re from Ohio and we ' ll all get along better. Good luck with the wife and keep your head in the sky. — Benny Scott Hayden Evans Kingston. Pennsylvania Phyical Science U.S. Marine Corps . Scotty, a native of Kingston (Mecca), Pa., came to the academy via NAPS, where he was transformed into the Gouge Hound of Navy Scott lived by the saying an ounce of gouge is worth a pound of knowledge. His files however, enabled him to become a regular at Pete ' s Place, the Vous, and Ivan ' s. He enjoyed many good times at the academy with the guys, or at least the next day we told him that he had fun! The ladies were often charmed by Scott s rough and more than ready approach. Who could resist a guy armed with a wife beater t-shin, boxers, black sox, and a beer throvtm in for effect? You are a die hard Manne and a true fnend! Even though vou are not from Noo Yawk, I still love you like a brother. Just make sure that you drive tanks better than you dnve Suzuki Samurais, is it possible to roll a tank? Quantico has finally found what they have been looking for! Ooh Rah! HCD 451

Matthew Alan Caldwell Portland. Oregon Economics Surface Warfare Malt came to USNA with a love for blondes, Henry ' s, and Mazatlan. These were rare commodities in Bancroft Hall so he focused his energy on becoming chairman of the boards. During the week MAC participated in a variety of activities ranging from varsity squash to croquet to suntanning while BOOW. Ski spent weekends in comedy clubs writing down lines for future use to impress the ladies, blondes of course. Occasionally, Psycho becanie spontaneous enough to go yacht pirating or return from liberty in summer whites with docksiders. Clubber gained popularity in 5th Co. by carrying on traditions like eating chalk dust at football march-overs. Jones was best known for telling funny stories, but few remained attentive after hearing the same story the umpteenth time except his faithful roommate. I ' ll miss those all-night B.S. sessions. Good luck on finding the perfect blonde. Stay in touch. JJS Gordon Edward Cole Akron, Ohio Systems Engineering Nuclear — Submarines Gordon came to USNA from God ' s Country, the Heart of America — Akron, Ohio. Gordy found his calling as a systems engineer, leaving plebe year antics, crew, and bad grades behind. The peacemaker of Room 3309 went on to become an integral and vocal part of the plebe indoctrination system, developing the authoritarian style that would become his trademark. After a little horseplay in the hall, a costly attempt to clean up his language, and some experimenting with C-side rugby, he was ready to move on to the responsibilities of first class year. Serving as company com- mander during plebe summer and first semester, Gordon refined the skills which he decided were best bestowed on the nuclear Navy. Command at sea is the next goal for this submariner (plus a big Catholic wedding and a large family ...?). JAW John Stewart Cox Charlestown, Indiana Ocean Engineering Naval Flight Officer John was the best person I knew at knowing when to have fun and when to study, although it seemed like l c year was all for having fun. For John that meant rugby games, not to mention the rugby parties afterwards. He always had a good story after the weekend and she was always beautiful , but I ' ve heard rumors that he ended up with the rugby queen more than once. John was a faithful Louiseville Cardinal fan, or Indiana Hoosier fan depending on who was winning, and I don ' t know of anyone who knows more about guns or chewing tobacco. John is one of the most dependable people I know, and he always proved that his word is as good as gold. That ' s the kind of person you want around in a pinch. Good luck with Navy air. I just hope they let you listen to John Cougar while you fly. GEC Arthur Gerald Crowe Clifton Park, New York Marine Engineering U.S. Marine Corps Upstate Arty, the bank, came to the Boat School in search of Marine. He quickly found Marine engineering — well at least it was half right, and a crazy group of plebe year friends who always did wrong. As time passed Art met the Rocket, survived the Severn, 2- 4-7, and took a fall from the port. Quickly adapting to a pinch, harmonica raps, country music, while his hair grev inwards — he was showing signs of change. Whoa Belle , that ' s an F 1 50 and so is that and Arlena THE who do you love? . Unhooked we took off for Alaskan forklifts, picnic tables, Denali — I finally saw my first moose (Al?), fishing lessons and finally he found what he NEEDED in eariy morning PT. EARLY! RUNS! It was true love, 21, and soon to be in green. Its been OCUK at times but hey you still owe me six. God bless and best wishes. Red. SMG 450

Keith Allen Goetz Olympia, Washington Mathematics Air Force A viation Keith began his USNA career in Lucky 1 3 at a strapping 1 35 lbs. Hailing from Olympia, WA., his devotion remained with one Molly Bee. After screening his classmates from heat all year, he made the move to Fightin ' 5. There he began to grow physically, especially in cover size which, as Kip and I can attest, reached global proportion. Soon after one memorable and expensive weekend, his devotion faltered. He soon became known as Emillio, making frequent trips to U of M in order to maintain civil military relations with several young ladies. One of these trips, while conducting unrep ops, found Gucch ' faced with a real live fatal attraction. Falling in and out of love almost continuously, Keith began first class year with a resurrected Beemer and an emest desire to wear powder blue. All kidding aside, there ' s lots of great memories bud, good luck in flight school and take care. Through good and bad . . . friends forever. DCB Steven Mitchell Graves Cedar Rapids, Iowa History Naval Aviation Well Red, it ' s been a couple of tough years. You leave USNA with a much better understanding of many things: salmon fishing, girls (Dahlgren girls to be exact), and Jack D. ( My head keeps flipping back and forth. ), just to name a few. I ' ll sure miss those talk sessions that lasted till zero dark hundred. Yea, right! Lets never forget 1 9 hours of sleep with our $ 1 50 beards in bear infested Denali. Nothing quite like eating with the bugs. The salmon fishing at Soldotna was definitely a highlight of first class summer. Where did that $500 go anyway? The rest went to the yuppie George Jetson-mobile. I guess the best way to sum it all up is a. coupl e of key words: country music, fish, farm, Alaska, bars, bikes, Baltimore babes (hey we never did get new w — .), but most of all, friendship. Best of luck to you and N. God bless and please keep in touch. AGC Christopher Lee Harkins Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Systems Engineering Nuclear Power — Submanines Who could ever forget the baby-faced kid from New Hartford, starting his Navy career by taking laughing lessons from the 1 9th platoon commander during plebe summer. Having learned his lessons well, Chris continued to laugh his way through Navy U. Who wouldn ' t with a good luck horseshoe embedded deep in his bowels? From a youngster year liason with an old friend (who just happened to be a plebette), through a dislocated kneecap which left him ineligible for protramid but eligible for a three week Cocoa Beach vacation, and even throuch a tense 8-week period during 2 C year in which he was forced to park his 300ZX in the yard — Chris laughed his way through all the trials and onto brigade staff 1 C year. Of course, the question is, will the scrog monster ' s wiles cause another female to gasp, I ' m melting, or has his little marine from Duke put an end to Chris ' philandering? RWT, JOB, TRS Kyle Duane Kliewer Port Orchard, Washington Mathematics Surface Warfare When Kyle came to Fifth company, he showecf us his true self when he became known for hour long showers, massive rack time, and jazz music above the threshold of pain into his headphones. As second class year hit, the sleep disappeared and showers were squeezed in between studying and writing music for the Drum Buggle Corps. His Jazz was toned down through the Trident Brass which he became president of first class year. The Meat ' s intense style of playing bo th the bells for D B and piano will always be remembered. As a second class, Kyle joined the Officers ' Christian Fellowship and played piano for all the retreat talent shows. More than a few D Ber ' s will remember Kyle for the D B Bible study discussions that he helped lead. As a Surface Line selectee, Kyle has prepared his coffee mug through heavy use. After rooming with him for two years, I can say that Kyle is a great guy and a great friend. Good luck and God bless. MWS 452
