dedicated to MASTER SERGEANT

William Mugh ColtriM

The 1962 POLARIS marks the end of the first full cycle at the United States Air Force Academy, for the Class of 1962 is the first to attend all four years at the permanent site.

However, 1962 also marks the end of another four year event; June 1958 not only saw the arrival of the Class of 1962; it saw the entry of a new NonCommissioned Officer-In-Charge, Air Force Cadet Wing.

We looked with admiration at this man's record in World War II and we glanced with respect at his Silver and Bronze Stars, Purple Heart and Air Force Commendation Medal. But it was his outstanding example as an NCO, his complete embodiment of the spirit of the military professional which caused us to admire him as the personification of the many unnamed service people who make the Air Force Academy a success.

Because of his example of complete selflessness and dedication to the United States Air Force and its Cadet Wing, The Class of 1962 proudly and respectfully dedicates its 1962 POLARIS to Master Sergeant William Hugh Coltrin.

AnBayonet training.

In the beginning there were 1440 days.

And the Academy was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the firstclassmen. And the "Class of 59" said: Let the "Class of 62" bow down before us and become humble. And it was so done.

And yea verily the group Commander stood before the mass of shaven heads before him and said: "Welcome very Basic Cadets." And we were welcomed bright and early in the morning.

And the element leader said: "Let there be rifles for the Basic Cadet." And with these rifles we learned the art of bayoneting.

With little time to do many things, we passed through a memorable summer. Graduation then seemed a vague, distant dream to those who had time to think.

Looking more like a group of greenhorn soldiers than Air Force Cadets, we left bivouac at FASE to make a short four mile hike to our new homes. To those of us who had never seen the Academy's permanent site before, it looked like a futuristic castle as we approached up that long road. During subsequent years we learned that living at the Academy was in no way like living in a castle. In those days we had a phasing program too, phase one throughout the year.

A thrill packed football season led to this Cotton Bowl climax New Year’s Day.

An undefeated football season with open posts was the one bright note in an otherwise tough first semester. Christmas came and went with a brief respite from all the fun and games. The "Class of 62" at this time took a big step toward establishing our unbeatable record of Class Ill's.

California had the distinct honor of hosting us during our March field trip. Another group was scheduled for the tourpath as we again took advantage of the relaxation. Others were nursing bruises caused by oar coffee and donut breaks. After our whirlwind tour of sunny California, we returned to the snowclad, windy slope of the Rockies to a warm reception. Those of us who were here can remember the welcoming talk given us by the wing commander. It's amazing how tales of exploits can alter between California and Colorado.

For those underclassmen whom the "Class of 62" left behind who don't know what a "buckup" is, we will give a brief definition. A "buckup" is a period of time in which the upperclassmen again realize the presence of fourthclassmen around the Academy and try to compress extensive training into a limited time. The time from the end of the field trip until recognition was just such an "extensive training" period. But, the day we had been awaiting finally came and we were

UPPERCLASSMEN. Only 1099 more days until graduation.

Summer offered us a month of leave to return home for the first time since becoming cadets. It also gave some of us our first taste of actually feeling the stick of an aircraft as we flew either the prop driven T-28 or the jet powered T-37 at pilot indoctrination. The rest of summer consisted of six weeks spent at the Academy studying, exercising, and resting up for another hard year of academics. However, the most noteworthy occurrence for the "Class of 62" that summer was an event which welded us into the unique class we turned out to be. We became Red Tags (RTBs).

Thirdclass year held little for the Red Tags other than lots of studying, the first Christmas home and nine-month Class Ill's. Red Tags liked to do things big and once in a while were caught at it.

Lectures were a more and more common experience that year. During question periods, classic queries were sometimes shot at the bewildered speaker such as: "What time do we sign out for Christmas leave?"

The graduation of the "Class of 60" brought

EUROPE. Now we were secondclcrssmen with only 754 more days to go, Europe was worth all the anticipation, waiting, and more. Royal treatment was given each of the three groups which went to the continent. Free time was effectively used by the Red Tags as they spread "good will" far and wide.

France offered bread, wine, outdoor cafes, and Pigalle. Germany can be remembered for East Berlin, good beer, the Valhalla, and redheads. England was Cranwell and bicycle jousting, Hyde Park, and the girls of Nottingham. Scandinavia was bikinis, the Draken, dressing on the beach, and those beautiful, beautiful blondes. Italy had Wops, Roma, and those passionate brunettes. Spain had blondes, brunettes, and redheads.

And, incidentally, wesaw the NATO forces.

Back at the Academy, more serious things were going on. The "Class of 64" was entering andunder the supervision of "61" we had work to do. With much responsibility, little time and less authority, we plunged into the training. The late nights, early mornings and intensive schedule made us feel we were the ones undergoing the training and not "64."

Secondclass year rapidly proved to be the toughest academic year yet. We all could look forward to what we thought would be an easier senior year. Again the long arm ofthe academic department cut a swath thru our ranks. The 454 men that entered with the "Class of 62" would eventually dwindle to 297 graduating Red Tags. Many fine friends left for various reasons to become civilians once again.

During the four years that the Red Tags spent at the Academy, only once thing was consistent change. The search for tradition and the best possible method of operation netted many changes. A new training concept was introduced during our junior year. Punishments would henceforth be easier for

underclassmen and heavier for the upper two classes. Red Tags again learned what it meant to be a transition class.

Spring bloomed bright for us as we anticipated the forthcoming departure of the Class of 61 and the institution of the "Red Reign of Terror." The end of three years of carrying M-ls meant the chance to draw a little ear blood with a saber. The final May Term saw us take over command and prepare for the summer and our

FIRST CLASS YEAR. Finally we were on top. Added authority brings added responsibilities and the "Class of 65" was about to enter. And they did enter and we were ready for them. Summer training went well as we were given a freer hand in training. Again the pace was hectic, but this time we were used to it. Some of us spent part of the summer with the thirdclassmen as they toured the ZI. All of us became "third lieutenants" and spread throughout the Western United States for two weeks of pleasure and a taste of what was to come.

First Class year was repleted with many memorable milestones. The training system changed with an earlier recognition, altered phasing program, and added privileges. Unlimited ODPs and later unlimited weekends were given to us. Saturday mornings were made "free" for lectures.

Sports were outstandingly successful both on the "intramuder" and intercollegiated levels. Football was the only mar on our record as the national spotlight shown on a team with a losing record. Spring came to the Academy along with a realization

that we were on the homestretch. As the fateful day drew closer we heard and did the last of many things. We played our last athletic contest, took our last final, heard our last Academy rumor, told our latest joke about the phasing system, dumped our last batch of red coloring in the air garden pools. Academics were treacherous right to the end. The "jcrilbirds" from First Squadron and the Cranwell escorts took the Red Tags out in a blaze of glory appropriate to our class.

Graduation, that day we had been waiting for finally came at the end of a tiring but enjoyable June Week. Families, friends and beautiful girls from all over came and our hallways echoed with the unfamiliar sound of feminine voices and high heels.

As we sat through the graduation exercise and heard Vice President Johnson speak, we could look back over four long, hard years and rightfully believe that it was a job well done.

A parting gesture from the Red Tags, the "Class of 62" was the lifting of our red caps symbolically toward the sky and a large 62 painted in red on the rock in the guardrangle.

erable facets of that last year

Trips: this one’s Dallas, and who could forget that Texas hospitality?

The AOCs moved in with us: at least on rainy days.

Maurice Wendell Adams

Lefty came to USAFA from the bustling metropolis of Sulphur Rock, Arkansas (population 179). Finding academics to be "no sweat," he graduates with a degree in Engineering Science. Lefty pursued his favorite hobby for four years, sleeping at any opportunity (if he isn't in bed by 9:00 the day is a total loss). After three years as the Wing's model of a "Rock" (a professional bachelor), his arrival at Vance AFB, Oklahoma for pilot training will find him happily married. His ambition to be a good fighter pilot and his driving determination to succeed will carry Lefty through a distinguished career in the Air Force.

Robert Minter Alexander

Affectionately called "Minter" this Southern gentleman has a cadet record which should make him proud. He has consistently been on the Dean's List and the Commandant's List, and has been a member of the Ethics Committee. Minter is always willing to give of his time to help his classmates, and as such, he might be considered the primary 8th Squadron tutor. In addition, he has a genuine sense of humor and never overlooks the lighter side of cadet life.

Charles William Allport

Chuck's persistent and timely hard work has helped to number him among the ten survivors of 21st's original twenty-one "Red Tags." He has followed a balanced curriculum—including a number of non-academic pursuits—900 yard marksmanship, encyclopedia selling, tee-totaling, "wing training," and bride selecting. After graduation he will enter the non-rated ranks and seek to make his mark in the field of personnel and management. The initiative, professionalknowledge, and career motivation Chuck has shown ill the past four years should insure him a successful career of service to his country.

After battling academics for two years at a Massachusetts Home for the Somewhat Insane, Hesh decided to take life easy way out West. So falls another series of wistful daydreams. However, with a good-humored smile (or was it a sinister smirk?) he pulled through a lot of ribbing. He is looking forward to pilot training as a final relief from the toils of studying. (How aboutthat wishful thinking?) A confirmed "flock," his only concerns are the distance to the nearest ski slopes and whether or not he can hold that convertible together long enough to make it.

Jack Lee Anderson

From the land of Lincoln (Illinois), came fun-loving Jack, or Horse, as he is commonly known. His loves in order, are: fun, drink, his MG, and last-but-not-least watching "cops and Wops" every Thursday night on TV. Though he thoroughly enjoys life, he always gets the job done in top notch fashion. Only stories about him in Europe are funnier than he is, and he will be a boost to any organization.

Robert Floyd Anderson

From out of the West came the AndZotch. First California, then Salt Lake, then AFA; he was movin' East. The Third Empire Builder was so successful (despite a lack of cement) that he was demoted from the "Flight Gang” and required to turn in his T-shirt. However, he picked up a crimson one and came out of retirement to lead the two-year Wing Championship Football team to victory over the "Old Stars" of the "Old Grey Line."

Future: New sticks, Big car, Young deer, Goin' far.

James Roy Annis

Jim "Amorous" Annis hails from that sprawling Kentucky metropolis of Beaver Dam. Coming to the Academy penniless, he leaves having acquired large debts. Jim's easy-going, extremely likeable personality has fooled many a Colorado girl and he leaves them broken-hearted but wiser. His shady past revealed an outstanding basketball career which he was forced to forego in order to devote more time to women, the slopes, and books, in that order. It appears unlikely that he will ever return to the Academy to teach anything other than the proper way to employ "Boyington's Rule." Jim now points his speedy Healy toward the South where he leaves the varied climes of Colorado.

Logan Henry Babin, Jr.

Records of the Colorado State Patrol indicate that Logan was one ofthe first in the class to get his car. He soon obtained his Corvette Command Pilot Wings holding records for time, speed, distance, and total fines paid.

In four years at the Academy this 17th Squadron standout has superbly mastered the fine act of outguessing instructors in the cadet "spec" system.

Yet, Logan has remained one of the most well-rounded individuals in the class, as evidenced by intramural participation and, more particularly, by various weekend activities. He has even adjusted remarkably well to snow-type skiing, seldom found in South Louisiana.

Vernon Earl Backman

Vern first stuck his shining face into this world in Salt Lake City in 1940 and made life miserable for that city until he was exiled in 1958. He sought refuge at the Air Force Academy, where he managed to keep his nose clean (although he was kicked out of 12th, 15th, and 19th Squadrons). He finally came to rest and managed to live out his last few days in 24th Squadron. Vern plans to graduate, marry and go to pilot training, three fitting steps for this ambitious lad.

Samuel James Baker

How can anyone describe a man of such varied talents as those possessed by the "Florida Flash?" How can you cope with charm that enables Shipiro to profess atheism and yet remain a close confidant of the Sister Superior of Loretta Heights? An avowed sun-worshipper, Shipiro can be seen either motoring the "red midget" around Denver, clad in Bermudas, or driving people off the ski slopes, wearing a Tshirt. Sam has three lives, a Star .32 pistol, his "red midget," and any endowed female willing to take her chances beside him in the former. He's a really tremendous guy, but unless you yearn for cancer, don't ever try and bum a "spare" cigarette from him.

Alfred Joseph Banford, Jr.

Alfred J. (The Alf) Banford is a living testimonial to: "Live fast—die young— and have a good looking corpse." A zest for life denied to most men is the Alf's way. He would echothe philosophy expressed by an Oregon professor who said, "I want to put on a pair of calked logging boots and walk over all the punchboards on the earth." A record setter in many areas, he hails from Odessa, Delaware. The power behind the throne usually comes from The Alf. Whether a snarling, cursing varsity lacrosse defenseman, or a wing Championship soccer coach, he leads the pack. Interests ranging from the sport of kings to many, and hopefully monied queens dominate.

Frederick Michael Banks

Mike, the original fair-haired boy, now calls California's Golden Gate city home, with previous interludes in Germany, North Carolina, and Washington. His reveille edict, "GRONK," sure to appear in Contrails quotations, must not be allowed to belie the affable, fun-loving Mike. His inextinguishable good nature is perhaps best evidenced in the title given him as a secondclassman by the Doolies in his element—"Uncle Mike." The friendly falcon, a familiar sight on Colorado highways in his white Impala, is an avid fan of watersports, dancing, that token beverage of the American heritage, sour mash whiskey, and a certain dear young lady friend.

Robert William Bartley

"Bouncing Bill" is one of those people whocombine a happy, easy-going nature with a sense of dependability and sincerity. Brunswick, Maine'scontribution to USAFA, his ardent interests are skiing, and scubadiving. The Air Force holds many things in store for Bill, who wants to fly—anything. He would like to go into TAC because of his interest. Distinguished by his fine sense of duty, his friendliness, and his New England accent. Bill will long be remembered by those who work and have worked with him.

Donald

Ralph Baucom Gary

From a still high on a Chattanooga Hill, Don entered the Academy with a serious speech impediment—a Southern accent. He adjusted to this civilized life well, obtcrining high grades, the Pop Warner AllAmerica Scholastic Football Award, and a hatred of academics. His talents include a neat interpretation of an Alpine avalanche while asleep, as well as a 1000% record of defeats against Leo Johnson at handball. A 4th Class Christmas engagement destroyed any possibilities of exploiting his bachelor traits.

Don's future lists a marriage, pilot training at Moody, graduate school in history, and a possible victory over Leo Johnson in handball.

Lee Baughman

Being cm experienced mountain climber because he was from the flatlands of Kansas, "GAR 1" proved his skill Doolie year by falling off Cathedral Rock. Although being a bonehead is advantageous for falls, it's not for academics, and somehow he could never convince his instructors that he wasn't "made of dumb." Adept at wielding a mean razor blade and glue tube, his famous "Baughman's Rule" model airplanes baffled the Aero Department and littered the gym floor. Always living in constant fear that the 1962 class rings will crumble into dust, Gary is leaving 5th Squadron in search of those silver pilot's wings. Look out ATC here comes that Rodan of the Ramparts!

Robert Bradley Thomas

Brad came to us from the quiet little Quaker town of Whittier, California, where he prepared for the rigorous cadet life with extensive sunbathing and surfing. Although not a scholar by nature, by careful application of effort he was able to conquer such notables as French, Aero, EE, and Astro. Brad is famous for being the owner of the first '62 Corvette in the state of Colorado. Pilot training in Del Rio, Texas, shouldn't be any trouble at all for him, and, after that, a life of free and easy fighter pilot bachelorhood is easy to predict.

Henry Baxter

Bob calls University City, Missouri, his home. To his classmates he's meant many different things—Squadron Honor Representative, Squadron Commander, Rhodes Scholar, Wing Training Officer, and outstanding athlete, but to all he's a "Bevo," a true friend. Among his loves are things sleek and fast like the "Bullet," scotch by the mug full, and making long shots pay off. After three years at Oxford, "Bev" plans to fly fighters. This dedicated man who lives Kipling's IF, will be long remembered by all those who come in contact with him. "Never before, never again," is his loyalty to the class.

Beck

Stanley Biegalski

Ski's strong love of life and adventuresome spirit have made him one of the "reddest" of the Red Tags. Whether he is skin-diving, skiing, or driving his Healy Mark II, his vigor is readily apparent. This same vigor is transferred to any activity he undertakes—be it athletics,Academics, or just socializing. But regardless of how busy he may be, he always seems to find time to give needed help to his many friends. Everyone knows that Ski is a man you can count on in a clutch. Post graduation plans? Pilot training, naturally, at Vance AFB.

George Joseph Bifolchi

George has finally succeeded in his long battle with the powers of Fairchild Hall. After one year at the University of Massachusetts and four years here, he is glad to get away from parades, academics and inspections, all of which gained little of his love.Pilot training will be at Laredo, Texas, North of the border, down Mexico way. His Boston accent gave him a hard time for a while, but he finally succeeded in getting rid of it and went on to bigger and better things. While at the Academy, George participated extensively in the judo club, gaining the rank of a brown belt, and has been a track man for all of his four years here.

Gordon Francis Billington

Gordy hails from that frozen earth portion of the States known as Maine. His years at the Academy have been filled with model airplanes, girls, and cars. But for a while there wewere beginning to think he was a Rock (sandstone, but neverthe-less, a Rock).

Gordo has been a frequent visitor of the spots in years past, and his TV set certainly has brought culture to the squadron, plus many strained eye-balls. There are those who say he has a computer for a brain.

Now the proud owner of a "HalfPontiac" convertible, Gordy is awaiting the day when he can trade his dark glasses and car-coat for a hard-hat and parachute. We like to think he will make a great suecess flying in the front seat of a F-100.

Michael Patrick Blaisdell

A Longhorn born and a Tarheel bred— and when he dies he'll be a Jayhawk dead, Rip got his name from his ability to sleep anytime, anywhere, especially in Pol.Sci. or English class. He thought he was a footbailer until Doc. Cotton presented him with a matched set of cartileges. After these beauts were born Rip turned to swimming and could be seen most any day walking around bleary eyed and slump shouldered making sounds somewhat like a seal.

Peter Bartholomew Bobko

Bom 24 Aug 1940 in Manhattan, New York, Pete spent the first 17 years living in Seaford, New York, attended Seton Hall High School for 4 years, participating in football and track.

Class of 62 at USAFA. Lettered twice in football, member of travelling squad on track 4,3,2. One class III for unauthorized ammunition in 2nd clothes room. D.L. 6 semester SML 5th and 7th semesters Williams AFB next duty assignment Ambition to fly TAC 62 Impala—small engine—the honey bucket Scotch—ice cubes and/or water Not getting married on graduation.

Mr. Clean—why I'll never know— mother even agrees it fits.

David Curtis Bockelman

Bock, an aspiring TAC pilot, travelled from Nebraska, the home of SAC, and has been a familiar figure in the 17th Sqdn. TV room. There, armed with his popcorn popper and pipe, he has enjoyed with his classmates, many a thriller.

Under the survision of everyone's favorite AOC as both the originator of an Air Power Room and as editor of Contrails, Bock displayed courage and fortitude. He holds some sort of medal for initials on one Form 12.

In the future we expect Dave to remain a hard core Rock, and to go on to success in flying and way out flight testing.

Carl Herbert Bolster

One of the last of the die-hard Pittsburgh Pirate fans, Carl Bolster was at his best when the Pirates won the Series. Since the sport of baseball has not gone too well recently for "Baldy," he has been concentrating on the sport of romance, where it looks like he will draw with Sue Mallory immediately after graduation. Tactical Air Command will have to adjust to the presence of a blind fighter pilot, while Greenville, Pennsylvania will have to adjust to the absence of Carl Bolster.

Rudolph Norman Bow, Jr

Rudy, a tremendous competitor on the field and in the classroom, came to the Academy from Dayton, Ohio with the visions of flying in his head, but soon realized that four years of book learning came first. Therefore he set out to acquire his Doctorate through learning by osmosis. It seems that Rudy was also suecessful in another field of endeavor—that of rescuing a beautiful blonde damsel from the local yokels of Wyoming University by his weekly pilgrimage to that institution.

We know that Rudy will go far in his aspiration to become a test pilot. Whatever comes next after the X-15, you name it and Rudy will fly it!

Franklin Peter Bradstreet

After spending two years in a civilian university, Pete followed in the footsteps of his younger brother, pointed his nose at the setting sun, and wandered West in search of an Air Force career. Before long his tenderfoot tendencies faded, along with his Bostonian accent, and it became apparent that under a gross doolie exterior there lay hidden the qualities of leadership that were to carry Pete to the post of Squadron Commander three years later. In the meantime, however, Pete endured several near-fatal brushes with intramurals, members of the opposite sex, and Class Ill's.

The future will see Pete, wiser from experience, head his T-Bird in the direction of Pilot Training and a lifetime of dedicated service.

James Martin Brinkman, III

Ld Creole came to Sky Blue U four years ago from the wilds and dark alleys of New Orleans. Although he was relatively new to this military jazz, he soon found many areas in which to exercise his many talents. His biting humor and personality soon became famous from CWC to Sweden. It was only a short time until it was recognized that Jim possessed a great deal of potential, both military and social. In the social aspects of cadet life, it could be said that, at times, Don Juan would appear as a bashful school-boy by comparison. His ambition and drive have brought him a high degree of success as career in the Air Force.

John Nicholas Brothers

A native son of "it's a pleasure to live in Colorado," John makes up for the daily solar eclipse by his seldom-failing optimism and pointed remarks designed to puncture the hardest shell. Early in his cadet career Juanito picked up the distinctive appellation of J. Nurd, which title he has continually borne with the dignity and gentility it deserves. Being a natural standout in the dubious field of academics, John early turned his attention to serious philosophical contemplation on a high level; to wit, his observations on the fair sex have become classics in the field. Many a happy memory of fun and frolic began with an invite to "Sing along with Nurd."

Christopher Heath

Oh! Good Grief! another weekend shot to hell! Where did we leave off last week?

Anyone for bridge, TV, or golf?

After the greenery of Ohio, the 49 shades of brown were tough to enjoy. After four years of tangling with the system, and academics, cadet life was through, jokes, laughs, and all. Time to play Sterling Man in a red A-Healey back to the green areas for a while, then the flatheads and new heights. With pilot training coming on time to get serious. Yes, I'm coming. Oh well, what's another party?

Brown

William Arnold Browning

Bill was already an old airman when he arrived in '58. His accomplishments as a cadet were mostly in the field of academies where he went from a turnout doolie year to Dean's List his last two years. Since he is a "Rebel" from Missouri, he is anxious to get to Alabama where he can really be a "Rebel." He hopes to use some of his experience gained as a crew chief on a jet fighter to help him transition from his Chrysler 300 to jets.

Johnny Brucher is from Clcrtskanie, Oregon and had always dreamed of becoming a cadet. Upon failing to gain entrance with the class of '59 he joined the Air Force. On his fourth year of trying as an airman, "Bruck" finally gained admittance into the Academy.

Highlights of Bruck's cadet career inelude the Talon Award for outstanding intercollegiate athlete in track and the position of Squadron Commander in Fightin' Fourth during the fall semester and June Week.

After graduation wedding bells will ring for Johnny and his gal "Sal," followed by pilot training at Williams AFB in Phoenix, Arizona.

Michael John Butchko, Jr.

Friend to all, enemy to none, Mike, with coonskin cap in hand, trekked across the wide expanse of our beautiful patrie from the moonshine hills of Morgantown, West Virginia to enter the towering heights of the Acropolis.

Michelle has been a most familiar figure around the abodes of the locals and seems to favor small cars, which seem quite strange considering his height. However, Mike's affinity for Dear John's, plus his inimitable ability to reply in kind, has endearedhim to the hearts of the squadron rocks.

Mike's hilariously, funny grass roots expressions are classics. He has a most peculiar ability to generate high pressure, and he will certainly be at home in heaven, Big Spring, Texas.

Charles Michel Butler

"Rip" left his love in the hills of West Tennessee and headed West to make his fortune. He settled near the Rockies but never did quite forget his love. His love of booze and good grades at times seemed to clash but in the end both won out. "Rip's" what might be called a career marriage man. Should be seeing him if you're a TAC man below the Mason-Dixon line.

Robert Marion Cam, Jr.

Often as not, call to Quarters would find Bob pouring over the latest copy of a sports car magazine rather than aero or astro, sufficient reason for not outstanding academic grades. His widely varied interests carried his extra-curricular participation from varsity sports to publications, not unlike the Jack-of-all-trades but master While travel during the academic year was limited primarily to week end trips, via bright red Sprite to Northern Colorado in pursuit of monogamous female companionship, Bob's summer itineraries ranged much broader—from jump training at Ft. Benning to "beach maneuvers" at Waikiki. His future—pilot training at Reese AFB and hopefully grad school.

Howard Kaber

Howie came to us from that dot on the map, Middlebury, Vermont, the land of greenery and tranquility. His academic struggles here can no doubt be attributed to his year spent in college. Poor study habits, no doubt!

A lover of fast sport cars and exotic stereo sound systems, Howie has managed to obtain both. A blue blur on the ski slopes, he loves the outdoors and associated activities "What d' ya mean it's cold out?"

Plans after graduation? Pilot training and then marriage.

Carroll

John Leonard Carroll

"Blivit," as John is affectionately called by the members of the squadron, hails from Decatur, Ga. A well-liked, good-natured, rolly-polly guy, hehas done well as a cadet. He was Group Hauncho for a while until he took over the more important job of directing the activities of big 17.

John is a lover of the color green, good beer, and women. But there have been times when his Southern charm has failed him in his dealings with the latter. He may have to remain a "Rock" for quite a while.

Georgiabeing his only true love, Blivit has decided to serve his tour with ATC at Moody AFB. We wish him all the luck in the world.

Linwood Joseph Carver

Out of the backwoods of New Hampshire and into the light of civilization came Lin Carver. Through diligent application and plain (ugh) hard work Lin became a bridge master? and accomplished superskier, not to mention his prowess with women. Many women tried to trap him, but Lin remained a 'rock' in the best of tradition. Seriously, those who knew him at the academy know of his personal integrity and leadership ability and the Air Force will benefit by another fine officer.

Thomas Earl Chaklos

Tom Chaklos—a fine old troop. May he live forever (might as well go all the way). and buy a new air-conditioned car every time he visits Colorado and graduate and grow a bushy head of hair and live a life patterned after his hero, Epicurus. The pride of East St. Louis, Illinois, Tom anticipates a big sixth of June, and then a career in the Pakistani Air Force flying the hump in beat-up 1940-vintage C-47's, wreaking destruction upon all non-believers. "The secret of my success is Brylcreme, baby."

Chaiies Edward Cheeseman, Jr.

Radical Charlie, the left winger, meandered in from the booming progress town of Slippery Rock, Pa. In 1958 with only his stock of pills and high ideals, Charlie adapted quickly to the Academy routine, having majored in sleeping at Kings College for one year before his induction. Always a friend, he helped his classmates out by sleeping enough for himself and them also. Alas and alak, his evil nights caught up with him for one morning when he awoke he found that the golden screw had fallen out of his belly button and well, we all know what happens then. He looked everywhere for it; under his bed, in his Corvette, in his chair, in his pants pockets, and in the wing lost and found.

Paul Lee Clanton

Paul came to the Academy from Arkansas, Pine Bluff, to be exact. But during his four years here, he won many friends while demonstrating his abilities as a leader and organizer. A confirmed bachelor, Paul is looking forward to a career in flying. The Air Force will also be getting a fine person with a head for business and management. It is fortunate that the Air Force is his first love, or the tycoons on Wall Street would be making room for Paul in a few years.

Kirk Blystone Clark

"Good ole K.B." forged his way from the snowbanks of Eau Claire, Wisconsin to the "balmy breezes" of Colorful Colorado. However, K.B. never relinquished his loyalty to the homestead because a little lady named Gook kept his thoughts from wandering too far. Clothed in his "Ophelia" T-shirt, Call to Quarters usually found K.B. engaging in lofty philosophical discussions while waxing his skis and eating freshly made popcorn. Excelling in all things, especially in athletics, K.B. could even shatter the gloom of the Dark Ages by giving Slenderella reducing hints or lecturing from Playboy's Guide To Astronautics. His good humor coupled with a sincere personality will certainly give the Air Force a fine officer and uphold the tradition he established during his tenure at USAFA.

Ralph Edward Conlan

Ralph comes to us from Pontiac, Michigan. Well known by his classmates, his easy laugh and manner have made him quite popular during his four years at USAFA. Ralph possessed a rare quality of enthusiasm for almost every task he is faced with. A good student, he has also earned a name in his Squadron for the high caliber of conscientious work he has put into his flight.

"Variety, the key word," sums up his aspirations quite readily. He hopes to fly fighters but will settle for anything with wings. In addition, the attainment of degrees in both the sciences and the arts comprise his future goals.

Edwin Bryan Connerat, Jr.

Bryan Connerat, bom in Washington, D. C. is nicknamed ''Rat.'' This nickname stems from his name and perhaps from a physical resemblance. I doubt, however, if a scrawny rat could consume the legendary quantities of beer that the popular and personable Mr. Connerat has consumed. With a keen eye for a good time and an attractive lady, the ''Pope" will undoubtedly make successful his upcoming marriage to a fighter plane.

Robert Justin Connolly

A renegade from the Asphalt Jungle of New York, Bob made the scene at Lowry in mid '58, and the scene soon remade him. He no longer "pahks" his car, but parks it at Pat's pad and will presently be Pat's pet, permanently.

Traveling the weekly fe-mail rim from AFA to Greeley, he had a great opportunity to see many of Colorado's 34 different shades of brown. Could this have influenced his decision on a blue-eyed bride and a green Monza?

French and Spanish, cars and twistin have taken a goodly portion of the Dean's time.

Future: Many miles, Plenty o' places; Look out life, BcStP—off to the races.

Gerald Fredric Cometet

Jerry comes from Mishavaka, Indiana, where the world's supply of Alka-Seltzei is produced. Fortunately Jerry has had little use for his product except to console those who do not the academic mastery he possesses. The weather in Texas should agree with agreeable Jerry and his future bride, Val, at pilot training. Nothing but the best can be expected from Mishawasa's Mr. Music.

Gerald Allen Daniel

"Reb" is a service brat, but calls home Louisiana. Following in the tradition of his dad, he allows no other thought for the future save that of fighters. Reb will be married on graduation day and we hope that he becomes as dedicated to his Jackie as he already is to single engines. Seeing himself as the "operational type," he has no plans for future education at present.

Reb has held many positions of responsibility in the Wing due to his overabundance of "horse sense" and his ability to command and retain respect. He has shown the dedication and maturity required of a commander and we are certain that he will have the opportunity to demonstrate this during his career.

Jerry Wayne Daugherty

"Bo" hails from a small town in the flat lands of West Texas called Andrews. He loves bird hunting and just driving around in his "'46 Ford" (Volvo!). Having no immediate aisle walking plans he is taking up flying after graduation and hopes to get in fighters.

Robert Frederick Davey

Bob stopped by Lowry AFB one day in 1958 during his first trip west of Brooklyn. To his dismay, his duck-tail was shorn, his leather jacket confiscated, and everyone started calling him cadet basic. Bob made a gradual adjustment and found military life bearable. Between his vast academic loads and model airplane ventures, he has managed to acquire a prospective Mrs. and will soon set up housekeeping in Phoenix. His greatest complaint: never seems to get any sleep.

Sheridan Davis

Bear came to Colorado a full fledged New Hampshire yankee. In four years he learned to love the open spaces of the West. The West it seems has the space Bear needs to unleash the street machines he builds. He will rush from the Rockies in an OHV powered "A-model." After a brief vacation in Norway, Bear will report to Marine Officer School in Quantico, Va. He plans to fly attack for the Marines and wants to lead the first spacephibious attack on the moon.

Robert David DeDeriy

Bob DeBerry was one of the quieter, more reserved members of the unowned Red Tags. Beneath this outer layer of reserve, however, there was a whole world of friendliness and fighting spirit. Those who knew Bob were better off for having become acquainted with this native of South Carolina.

In accord with the fighting spirit common to all red blooded Rebels, Bob wants to get into TAC after pilot training.

Denis Edward Dehne

Denny, a native of Baltimore, Maryland, came to ArA directly from high school. Having been born and raised in the Army, Denny wisely decided to break tradition and take the Air Force as his career. While at the Academy, a few rough seasons of intramural boxing combined with those Class Ill's gave Denny the rare distinction of being the first Redtag to develop prematurely gray hair.

Rather than join extracurricular activities, Denny preferred to spend his time off base working on his car. Dennybegins his career with Pilot Training in Texas.

While high jumping Vi above his height, "Frenchie" has still found time to drive around his "buff beast"—a 1962 bucket seat Impala with 4 speed floor box. A young lass from Denver seems to frequent the shotgun seat but all lips are silent as to what his status will be when he checks into VanceAFB—married vs. still looking.Walpole, Mass, gave Jim to the Acropolis and he will enter the Air Force as a fine officer and likeable Northeastemer. Best of luck Jim on avoiding those wedding chimes while you fly a T37 instead of your "buff beast."

Otis Obrey Dinning, Jr.

Otie came straight to the Academy from high school in Kentucky. Having met the challenges of the Academy, he leaves with the same aggressiveness that has been responsible for his outstanding performance in the three phases of Academy life—military, athletic, and academic. Thinking that comets are not among the heavenly bodies, Ottie will head for pilot training after 79 days of capturing heavenly bodies in a Comet.

Known as the "Deacon," ihis "true sports car" type came to the Academy from the thriving metropolis of Lowell, Indiana, and gradually became very well acquainted with a certain Red Monster. Probably his most proud possession is a certain part of Odette, a souvenir which he secured on the European trip. After spending the first semester of his final year as Squadron Commander of 13th, this balding, elderly individual settled down to enjoy life, scotch, and his somewhat erroneous rocky self-image. About June 6, Deac will be seen roaring through the gate in bis big, blue TR-3 on his way to missile school ("Aircraft are on the way out.")

John Charles Dinsmore

"Rojo," the Rhode Island Red, has enaeared himself to the members of his squadron with his perserverence on the athletic fields, his sincere friendship, his dedication to his duties as a cadet, and the occasional displays of temper which support his determination. After leading 7th Squadron through those June Week parades, he will travel to Georgia to fulfill a desire to learn the flying trade. Always a center of motivation, Danny will be an asset to whatever unit he works for, and will continue to inspire all who work with him.

James Maurice Drake

Jim who is most often known as "Dutch" hails from the vicinity of Dayton, Ohio. His taste in women is very critical and definitely slanted toward beautiful redheads. He has displayed outstanding bravery on the fields of acedmic strife. Jim was turned back to the class of '63 and should be an asset to that class.

Joseph William Dryden, Jr.

Given cm crficicmdo with good looks and a quick wit—then add Texas, and we have a Southern gentleman of the old order. Once resigned to the fact that the AFA was in Colorado, Joe Bill left Texas and fought his way North. Searching out the merits of his new home, Fourth's aristocrat stumbled onto some of the higher slopes and rapidly became a ski enthusiast. Fearing narrowness he entered competiton with the crosscountry, soccer, and ski teams; but he never lost his status as the Academy sports car expert. The red tag "no sweat kid" made up for his lack of study by his interest in the strictly military sphere. Joe Bill's slow smile and ready witticisms will not be lost in an AF career.

Ronald Wesley Duvall

Raised in the last stronghold of the "Missouri Mule," Ron shows no tendency to emulate them. The main interest of any young man are wine, women, and song. Since age has caught up with old Ron he has been forced to concentrate his efforts and the main corentended seems to be women. Alas and alack the roving louse has finally met his matchand has traded the expansion band for a mere permanent type to grace the hand of his raven-haired mate, Claudia. And so the 4 year red sun gracefully dips during June Week, we will see one of the last of the roving breed disappear down 85-87 in a black Healey filled with Claudia and pocket-book novels. Say good-by to Ron. So long

Frederick Theodore Dykes

Ted came to the Academy after spending a year at the University of his home state, Maryland.

For the first two years he considered himself to be a Bean Brummel. But then he met "THE" girl in Denver.

Following graduation and leave, Ted will report to Craig AFB Alabama with his bride and Pallas Athena. Pallas Athena is the name of a small cabin cruiser Ted built on his week ends to use on the Alabama River. At least, he was able to get a name for his boatfrom his English course.

John Russell Easter

A leading exponent of "enlightened partying," Johnny, alias "Pasquas," is headed for pilot training (for sure) and TAC (he hopes). Activities during his internment at USAFA included sitting in his room across from the orderly room listening to the phones scream merrily (when the CQ was not there to answer them), midnight (and after) skulking in the computer lab, and manfully upholding his fair portion of the 16th Squadron beerdrinking mission. In 1948 John and his family moved into Vermont from Canada (hence John's hockey interest). Mrs. Easter's boy became naturalized and, after graduation from high school, hitched his star to the Air Force's.

lames David Eaton, Jr.

Living eight miles from West Point, he has developed a dislike for mules and beetle-crushers. Although he prefers to be called Jim, hehas been plagued with and has finally grown to accept the nickname J.D. His valiant efforts at participating in varsity athletics ended when he became a radioactive hazard from his many appearances before an x-ray machine. Always willing to participate in after-Taps activities with Darby's Rampart Rangers, he helped mold Erratic Eleventh into a well known squadron. Among J.D.'s many attributes, perhaps the most outstanding is his natural ability to get along with people. What else is needed for success?

George

Mitchell Eckel, III

Booker T.

the Arkansas National Guard to lose his Southern accent in the wild West. He has since become known as "the Human Negaphone," and "The 5'2" vocal cord."

His gift of gab and his pol sci background have won laurels in the humanities field.

He will be going on to pilot training at Williams AFB where we hope some beautiful young republican seduces him.

Mitch will be a definite asset to the Air Force in any field he undertakes. We imagine we will see him in the New Frontier in the near future.

Donald John Egan

Dr. Casey is the rage on TV in 1962. In a few years, who knows the popularity polls may raise a cry for Dr. Egan whose wit and good humor make him appreciated in any group. Don represents a milestone in Air Force policy in that he has received a leave of absence from blue suits to pursue his MD. Over the years Don has excelled in academics, holding a position revealed by few in 62, and his other talents cover the spectrum of activities as well. His soccer foot is deadly and his skill at shrewd business deals is uncanny. When his Corvette revvs up to leave the North gate this June, Don will leave behind an enviable record and many friends.

Eckel the toid left the land of

John Richard Ellsworth

Dick hails from Ellsworth AFB, Rapid City, South Dakota, which was named after his father. While majoring in graduating, Dick still had time to carry on a rather lengthy and turbulent romance. His post graduate bubbling at pilot training should benefit the Air Force.

Roy Nelson Emanuel

The Owl, known to only a few people as Roy Emanuel, has his nest in Doniphan, Nebraska. Often seen around the campus with the Bear, he has been one of the guiding lights in the birth and growth of the Bearmobile, a hot 30 Ford. Owl plans a four speed boxand a hot engine for his own sweetheart, which will go in during graduation leave. Having found no female owls in Colorado, there are no wedding plans in the near future. The Marine Corps will be the lucky service, and will soon make history by having the first commissioned owl in any U.S. service. Good luck, Owl.

Geoffrey Peter Engels

Born on 1 Jan. 1940. Started causing trouble before he was born by breaking up New Year's Eve party. After years of diligent effort was graduated from St. Cecilia High School in Englewood, N. J. in 1957. Attended Stevens Institute of Technology for one year before coming to the Blue Zoo. Hopes to receive a Basic Science major in addition to a diploma. Drives a '62 Tempest, and calls Bengenfield, N. J. home.

Clifford Byron Fallon

A native son of Sioux City, Iowa, Cliff is quick to defend the tall corn country against any disparagement, but probably will never win any Gold Stars at a midwestern spelling bee. Cliff wasn't confused by Academy academics, and, even though his classroom German was not the best, certain young Deutschlanders were very much impressed. No stranger to the rear end of a hunting rifle, or a spinning reel, the Rocky Mountains will miss this Great White Hunter.

The Fallon will go to Big Spring, Texas and can be expected to be the best pilot on the other side of the Sound Barrier.

Arthur DeWilton Farrington

Art spent two years prior to coming to the Academy working for the New Jersey Highway Department and attending night school at DrexalInstitute. He continued with a busy schedule here, taking innumerable science overload courses, bucking up doolies, working in supply, training, and as 16th Sq. Commander. Yet there was also time for sports, skiing, fishing, hunting (he claims at least a half dozen Colorado deer). Art will end a long engagement when he marries his girl from back home in June. Then it is to Willy for pilot training leading to a spot in a TAC fighter in the near future.

Robert Louis Felts

Bob "Spider" Felts hails from the great city of industry and motivation, Montgomery, Alabama, where he attended school for ever year except his last, which was spent in Tokyo. Having no steady type girls, he was just beginning to enjoy the night life of Denver when his lifelong ambition was realized—his name was finally read off the staff tower, but in the wrong manner, unfortunately. Thus he assumed the rank of C/Lt Col, Retired, joined the "Sinful Seven" of Friendly First, and began to take up more "intellectual" pursuits. He plans to complete pilot training at Craig AFB, Alabama, where the Southern belles are plentiful (?), and hopes to fly C-135's for MATS to either Tokyo or Paris.

John Fer

Outstanding is but one of the many adjectives used to describe John Fer. John lives in San Pedro, California and came to the Academy after three years at the University of Southern California. Known as the "Machine" to many of his classmates, John is the best distance runner in Academy history. Although he claims to be the original "rock," John is partial to girls named Diane. When he's not running, you can find John, Mexican sombrero and all, zipping down 85-87 in his white A-Healy. A real leader in all endeavors, John is certain to be one of the five predicted to earn a star before he's done.

Dean Leroy Ferris

Dean has a remarkable propensity for the best of beer and women, although not necessarily in that order. He seems to be one of those selected firsties that the Corn-shop has asked to stay around on weekends for his outstanding judgment. After a successful season on the properous, but not victorious swimming team, Dean has given good thought to becoming a professional "bookie." After graduation Laughlin AFB will be expecting to see Dean and his new bride, following an extended bachelor's party and a July wedding to "J.B." Seagrams' VO mixed with a little seven-up and after hours with J.B. have been the center of Dean's interest.

Frederick Allen Fiedler

Fred, better known around 17th Squadron as "Father Freddie," has the distinction of being from the thriving metropolis of Holyoke, a little known navigational checkpoint in Northeastern Colorado. Squadron commander during the Fall semester, Fred fought first and second classmen for cooperation, third andfourth classmen for higher GPA's and a group AOC for his signature on a loan approval.

Fred's physical endowments, personal claims, and academic abilities have earned him the respect of his fellow classmates and also three "Dear John's" during his stay at the Academy.

David Albert Fields

The only citizen of Puyallup, Washington to attend the Air Force Academy, at least for the first few years, is Dave Fields. A science fiction devotee, Dave still manages to get down to earth with small ventrues in real estate and stock. On the other hand, Dave is up in the clouds, planning to be married very shortly after graduation to a more permanent roommate. On the ground or in the air, Dave should make Puyallup proud.

Kenneth Scott Fisher

Known to his many Spanish-speaking friends as "Pescador," Scotty has built quite a reputation here at USAFA. Though his main interests lie in the social sciences, the star and wreath which adorn his sleeve show that his ability extends to other fields too.

GIcT GNP hmm? AnYwaY' whether he's wielding a tennis racket, a textbook, or an honor problem, everyone knows Scotty's the man to turn to for the solution to their problems. Four years around all of us ''evil influences" hasn't been much of a problem for him either as squadron religious representative, his high principies have been an inspiration to us all. Come June 6th—clear the roads!!

John Francis Flanagan, Jr

Though living less than 30 milesfrom that school on the Hudson, the "Flan" came to the Acropolis after a year of the softer life at Penn University. John will long be remembered for his "sleek red and white" Ford whichferried many to Denver and Boulder on weekends. A trade-in on a Falcon (motivation) and the pursuit of a certain gal from Colorado will send him on his way to pilot training at Vance AFB. His amiable attitude and chain to Irish heritage are indicative of his good nature despite his fullback frame—he even liked Economics! Best of luck always John both in the sky and at the altar rail.

Kenneth Henry Fleming

No one knows for sure whether the "Flamer" was so tagged for his Irish ternper or for his red hair, both of which are assets to an already winning character. Ken hails from the heart of Manhattan and must have acquired his knack for the twist from sleep walking on fire escapes. For three years the Academy track team was blessed with Ken's speed—set an Academy record in the half mile. Commanding a squadron, academics, and parties in the first class year occupied most of his interests and, as usual, Ken excelled in all of them. His abilities extend in so many directions that his future can be nothing but a success.

Ralph C. Ford

"Honor and truth and manhood—

These are the things that stand

In the summer of 58, the citizens of Berkey, Ohio sent their representative to the Air Force Academy in the person of Ralph Ford. A man of action and few words, Ralph was known for his "no sweat" attitude and academic prowess. When not on the slopes, Ralph would be found at Duffy's or the A-Bar-G, keeping his friends out of trouble of course. His next stop is pilot training, and if past performance is an indicator, he should have little trouble.

Gary Fidel Forrest, II

When the purpling outrage of the COC met the foil of the All-American's serene song froid, Gary Forrest joined convivial friends on the tour path after an earlier post-taps meeting in the Springs. One would think this to be the lightning stroke to curdle the milk of human kindness, but happily such is not the case. As long as Gary's GPA doesn't get too high or the volume on the TV too low, Gary is as good natured and likeable a guy as you'll ever meet.

From the well paved road to perdition (the tour path) here's one cadet who'll take the high road from there—preferably in an F-105. By June Week let's hope his super sport convertible is off its blocks.

Darrell Leon Fox, Ir.

Everybody in Ravenswood, West Virginia knows "Foxy,” and while he was at the Academy, Darry made sure that everyone within earshot know the virtues of West Virginia and its fine basketball teams. Darry was, is, and always will be a real competitor whether it be in athletics, academics or just plain leadership. Come intramural basketball time, is was "Coach Fox" as Darry did his utmost to lead his team to victory; during second class year it was "Grinder" Fox as Darry battled the Mechanics Department for that "A"; and in the future in that shade 94 blue suit or behind the stick of that 105 it's sure to be "Foxy" a man of whom we are all proud.

Charles Stephen Franco

Chuck—existentialist philosopher and exponent of "the gentle art" of judo. A man of aesthetic appreciation, he found the humanities more to his liking than the circuits of EE. Seldom to be seen in the squadron area, Chuck can more often be found lifting weight or driving his red convertible. After four years of formal dances, he still maintains his preferences for blondes. Graduation will open up new horizons to Chuck's adventurous spirit— two months of judo in Japan followed by pilot training at Craig AFB.

Nicholas Henry Fritz, Jr.

Nick, known for not infrequent bursts of stubborness and vocal disagreement, believes two plus two in four and should be called the same. Passive silence has never been one of his characteristics, but those whohave known him would have it no other way. Nick hails from Park Ridge, IIlinois and brought with him to the Academy a flair for organization and tremendous quantities of energy. Always busy and always working, he has been a driving force in everything he has done. His abilities and interests are many, but his performance is always the same-taps. These qualities coupled with his tenarity and straight forwardness insure Nick an outstanding career.

Evan Charles Funk

From Cleveland, Ev arrived in the wilds of Colorado with a powerful determination to succeed. Seeing no sweat there, he set his sights on Sheila and pilot training for the future and no extracting the most from his four years. With his sense of humor and sense of "things to do" he has attacked his cadet career with great success. So, after four highly successful years, Ev "gimps" off to his Rambler, Sheila, pilot training, and a very promising career having made many enduring friendships.

Beau Ernest Gabel

While most First Classmen displayed a shiny new car in the parking lot, Beau (as usual) was different. He bought a boat. Then, of course, adventure overtook him and he joined the MG club, with a flashing (speed-wise) white mode.

A confirmed twister and week-end beach comber, "Ernie" could be found either, (1) twisting at the Olympic or the Tul (in weather below zero), or (2) flying over Grand Lake, in anything above zero, regardless of snow. Fighters are his future, love, second only to women, beer, bourbon, and you name it.

James Patrick Gallagher

Having served his time in the ranks, Jim is now looking forward to seeing the Air Force from the point of view of a steely-eyed fighter "Jock." He is convinced that Del Rio is the best deal going, and if his theory that tequila would be a swinging substitute for JP-4 works out, we may even see him blazing higher trails. Jim has already been lagging supersonic time on his weekly sprints to Denver in "white Lightning" his trusty Jag. Even though Jim's "red monster," bed, has one of the highest ratings in sleepies per square inch, he has turned in some truly remarkable scores on the Graduate Record Exams. His good-natured Irish personality has survived these last four years untarnished.

John Albert Geiger, Jr.

Jack was washed up on the aluminum shores of USAFA from the Old Queen City of the West. Those who think that it's a long way from May to December should have joined ole Big Beak orl his trek to Lowry through basic cadet life. Following a career in Fifth and Ninth Squadrons, he has brow beaten his way past the wedge and garnered honors to include a wreath and star in addition to Ninth's own Black Hood and Top Cat. And through the South Gate, Jack has left his patch of black with his blue "Imp." His motto of "have horn, will travel" has brought him to many great times of fun. Although Denver offers more for things to see, Jack has found his best times around C.C.

Frederick Ernst Gerken, Jr.

Being an Army "brat," Gerk doesn't call any special place home, but the beginning was in St. Louis. As might be expected, he came to the Academy from the ranks of the Army, and proceeded to make a more than successful cadet career. Four years were marked by a tremendous smile, a gift for making many friends, and an easy way with Academics. His first class year saw him raised to the position of squadron commander, as a recognition of leadership ability. Some noticeable obstacles were a certain Christmas leave, the English department, the Academy gold course, first class parties, and a new Corvette. More success as an Air Force pilot will surely follow.

Robert Fair Gibson

Gibby currently calls Arlington, Virginia, home but has reserved a real soft spot in his heart for the Hawaiian Islands— his bachelor's paradise. With graduation and a major in extra instruction behind him, Gib will be off with a screeching of tires and red beret firstfor six months of basic school at Quantico, then pilot training at Pensacola, followed by as much operational fighter time as he can get his hands on. Although having reached the ripe old age of 21, Gibby has just begun. His natural enthusiasm for all that he undertakes will makehim the finest, most aggressive officer the Marine Corps ever had. But what of his love life? Never fear— that jet black Austin Healey is quite a lady.

Arthur Wilton Gillson

Few are those who haven't been stopped by this enterprising "red tag" during his tour at the Academy—stopped through the medium of any one of several cameras and film that is. Art brought a nack for photography with him to the Academy, and with the Academy's almost limitless variety of subject matter developed experience and desire to go along with that "nack" and shortly earned top photographic staff positions with Academy publications.

With a ready smile, determination and his usual "let's get organized" assets, Art leaves for pilot training and a service career.

Richard Timothy Gilmartin

R. Timothy Gilmartin, lovingly tagged "Rock" came West in '58 to accept a staff position at a well known Denver C. (for college) and needing a base of operations, joined the Blue Zoo. The success of this job has allowed our "Weekend Warrior" to be the outstanding authority on jazz, religion, and of necessity, economical foreign cars. Rock hopes to trade his Academy honors for riding job with ADC or TAC and NASA, just as he once traded his Montauk, (NY) "Road Ramblers" jacket for a blue blouse and an AOC for long hair.

Maynard Landis Goldsmith, Jr.

The gracious people of San Benito relinquished their only crooner and allowed him to head North to USAFA. Spud has helped to liven a few jam sessions with his hot guitar and hillbilly voice. His leadership abilities were well used in Fightin' Fourth as were, his humorous anecdotes which always revolved around the "best" attributes of the academic departments. His enrichment courses in Economics convincedhim to buy a poor man's compact, an Alpine. A true Southerner, he intends to take pilot training at Moody AFB and then go to TAC.

Lawrence Lee Gooch

Being near the top of his class has not precluded Larry from having fun, as evidenced by the fact that his red TR-3 seldom seen in the parking lot. For efficiency and hard work he is difficult to beat.His flying aspirations were almost nipped in the bud by the flight surgeons, but after careful reconsidering it was decided to let him attempt flying even though he has difficulty seeing beyond the cockpit. Graduate school will just have to be shelved for a while. The co-pilot seat of his TR will be occupied by a beaming bride as they rush from the rockies.

Russell Edward Goodenough

Many a young lass has he left behind. Many a young heart has he broken. Many a trip to Hawaii has he made—not to see the sun.

With a wide spectrum of interests from Scandinavia to Hawaii, from the slopes to the fields of friendly strife, from ethics to political economics, Russ alias Cherry Lips, who hails from Fillmore, California, has managed to make the most ofthe last four hectic years.

With his steady sights set on a pair of wings, grad school and maybe an air attache job, Russ enters the world probably to find surprises—like oranges are grown in Florida too.

Willie Wallace Gray, Jr.

Willie hails from the thriving metropolis of Suffolk, Virginia. He calls it God's Country. Always the quiet, likeable type, this one did an excellent job as Fourth Group Operations Officer in the first semester of his first class year. Then he led his flight to top honors in the 19th squadron during the second. Willie is a competitor from the word go. Just look at the Corvette he drives. Now he can hardly wait to get at his next challenge, the T-37's of Craig AFB. Pilot training will be only the first of many steps in a very promising career.

Robert Duke Green

This hard working young man from Miami's golden shores brought with him a studious disposition and a quest for parties. He became an instructor's nightmare because of a deep-rooted penchant for doubting a theory and questioning it. As Editor of the Talon, he had helped to mold it into a concise, well-prepared, enjoyablepublication. Always a rugged competitor in intramurals, this compact ball of dynamite was a big spark in Fightin' Fourthand should prove to be a bigger one at Moody for pilot training.

Terrence Hastings Griffey

Terrence Hastings Griffey as a product of Fort Dodge, Iowa. As a young man, uninitiated in the ways of the world, "Griff" came to Colorado with visions of grandeur. Needless of say, the wonder of Fort Dodge was a little disillusioned for the first year at USAFA was somewhat different than he had expected. "Griff" made up his mind to make something out of his stay at the Academy and as a result he is graduating the proud owner of a '62 Corvette. "Griff" claims to be a rock, or one who is interested in no young lady in particular, but there is a girl in Denver who knows different. The Rock's real claim to fame is his prowess on the gridiron and not unsusceptability to the powers of a woman.

Charies Farrell Griffin

The calm, sedate fellow who never outwardly did anything wrong, yet when night apeared he roamed about as the midnight skulker, doing mischievous little things. His only problem in life was that he enjoyed it all too much.

Chet came up from the deep South to show the yankees how things should be done. His personality and ready smile have won him many friends here at the Academy as well as in a certain institution a few miles North of here. Owner of the biggest automobile in 18th Squadron, Beannie is sure to excel in SAC or wherever the Air Force sends him.

John Francis Guilmartin, Jr.

John is a quiet Texan (if there be such an animal) who was a member ofthe first AFA pistol team to beatWest Point. He also left his mark in the academic department by capturing the award for the outstanding history student. Graduation will find him heading for Texas and leave after which he will drift on down to Laughlin AFB for pilot training.

Charles Ellsworth Hale, Jr.

Charlie Hale is a philatelist, among other things. Though a devoted bridge player, Charlie still manages to force himself for some television. Second Squadron's Mr. Television comes from Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlie, a real racket man, should contribute to the net worth of the Air Force.

Lanny Woodrow Hall

If you want to know how things were back in the "good old days," ask L. W. You see, Lanny wears two name tags—red and gray. He works hard and plays hard. Add to this his outstanding leadership, his genuiness, and friendly character, and you have an all time great. Although he never found fame in the world of academics, rarely is found a man to whom his troops are as loyal. From BCT to graduation Lanny has earned the place of high respect from his classmates and his subordinates. This is truly a man who tries. But beware! If you ever get into a game of Hearts with "Old Airborne Hall," he'll rim it before Hearts are ever broken.

Donald James Hallager

Called "Nashua" because of his fleetness of foot, Don was also one of the shortest lived Super Skiers in the Wing, i.e., about twenty seconds. Besides a notorious reputation for participation in the "Malden Incident" of olden days, "Nashua" claims the dark schooner record of fifteen in Duff's. Being from the Indian-named Kenosha, Wisconsin, he endeavored to prove his ability with the bow and fishing rod, and successfully killed sting rays and rattlesnakes. He also participated in the Wing's most popular sport—GIRLS.

Gary Roger Hamrick

Gary strolled into the Academy from Charlotte, North Carolina and neither the strenuous academics or the tiring military program have upset his friendly, deliberate Southern manner. Since he postponed flying for a year, Gary decided to soak in the warm southern sun while working in Electronic Data Processing until the time comes for him to get into the cockpit. All that have been around him for the past four years feel that his ability to keep everyone in a good humor in the midst of the hardest work will provide Gary with a winning way wherever he goes.

Dave came to us from the land of the wide Missouri. He brought with him an excellent ability to win friends, and an equal amount of leadership potential. Called Pi by most because of a build designed for endurance rather than speed, Dave has definitely proved that athletics are "no sweat" to him, and he has gotten in his share of licks at the academic departments. Having completed a fine job at AFA, we expect to see great things from this stubborn Missourian. The Air Force will meet him first at Webb AFB, Texas. There the T-38, the realization of a dream.

Larry Rhueben Harmon

Born and raised a Virginian, Larry so6n learned to like Colorado's skiing. Besides skiing, he likes sports cars, girls, and alcohol (not necessarily in that order). He claims that he is Virginia's only writer, and his number of contributions to Wingover is used to prove his point. Having a "sports car build," Larry knows that there is enough room for him in a fighter unless Cape Canaveral decides to use him to replace their monkeys.

George Brooks Harrison

The "Little Red Man" of second squadron is one of the foremost reversible beer drinkers. Dashing George can be seen dashing around in his MG. George's sarcastic wit has brightened conversations as has his sunburned face brightened dark rooms. In any manner George should brighten the Air Force.

William Tarver Harvey

Bill, bom in the swamps of Liberty, Mississippi, spent two years on the "hot" campus of LSU before deciding that the "cool" climate of Colorado was more to his liking. A robust and spirited young man he spent many hours of his Third Class year on the tour party. In his final year, when the weekends came—Bill went. Having purchased an economical 62 Impala he was on his way to see his future wife in Karval. After graduation and marriage look for Bill's friendly, happy face behind the stick of the T-38 at Webb.

Alexander Howard Harwick

Faster than his speeding Volvo, stronger than in intramural athlete, able to leap great regulations in a single bound, and blessed with a love of planes and beds, A1 has come to represent some of the outstanding cadet qualities despite his European background. Probably best known for his ability to turn cadet quarters into animal kennels, A1 managed to also find time for card games, after taps activities, and othernon-academic pursuits. Graduation sees him applying his interest in international relations with the acquistion of a permanent little Finnish roommate plus an undoubtedly successful career in the Air Force.

William Jens Haugen

Being a 'fledging' Bill has spent most of his life with the military. A year of civilian life at the University of Michigan did not deter his ambition for an Air Force career. The transition from world traveller to Academy life was accomplished with little difficulty and Bill settled down (?) to four years of work at USAFA. Between ODP's and his many extracurricular activities (one of which was building a hi-fi rig that rivals an IBM computer) Bill has completed the requirements for a degree in Engineering Science. His ambitions are to bethe hottest fighter jock in TAC and later a test pilot. Bill's driving determination and keen motivation assure him of a long and successful career in the Air Force.

J.C. came to the Rockies thinking he was escaping from the enlisted ranks only to find out he should have stayed. After the first year things got better and between his stereo set, bridge, and the ski club, life became bearable. Finally, first class year came and with it his own true love— a white Austin Healey. Despite his addiction to bridge, skiing, his stereo, and his Healey, he managed to take care of the football warriors and stay in the top 20 academically. Graduation brings a transfer to Arizona for pilot training where he can see if planes really are faster than a Healey.

Jack Charles Hauser

Jack attended the University of Maryland a year before switching to the Monastery in the Rockies. Jack has a genuine sense of humor, but never allows flippancy to take precedence over his goals. A hard worker—Jack never falters in giving up a few of his sleeping hours to do his work properly. A cadet with foresight; he is anxiously awaiting graduation, and the opportunity to get his hands on the stick of a T-38.

Frederic Owen Hawkins

More commonly known as Owen or "Hawk," he comes from the San Francisco Bay Area and has developed a rather pessimistic outlook on snow except for skiing. He is well known in the Aero Club, and except for landing on highways, has gained valuable experience from over 200 hours flying time. He usually tries to date as many different coeds as possible, except when in L.A. where he is only seen with a shapely blonde named Diane. Due to intense devotion to academics, Owen will come close to a 3.0 overall by graduation. After pilot training at Vance, Hawk will be a fighter pilot no matter what he flies.

Donald Joe Heacox

The versatile "Chico" (bridge, poker, gin rummy) is most often seen throwing things such as parties, books, or being thrown by wrestlers or mixed up girls. "One brow" is anxiously awaiting being tossed into Air Force life.

Frederick Lee Hendryx

"Fritz" came all the way from Cincinnati to be one of the few Red Tags to make liars of the 59'ers by actually not getting a "Dear John" from his girl back home. While at our home in the Rockies, Fred spent a lot of effort in being a good cadet, in deleting the state's wildlife noticeably, and in keeping the fine arts of imbibing popular. Not always first in academics, he was always first in effort. June will find him and his patient brunette headed into the South to take his place as one of the Nation's aviators.

Allen Henshaw

A native of the Naked City, "Hensch" came to the Air Force Academy in June of '58 with high ideals and ambitions. After four years of toil through the forests of the Academy, Bob has emerged with a triumphant victory over all odds, Bob was a soccer player for 3 years. In his senior year he held a position on First Group Staff. Those who know him intimately, know him for his percolating personality and can't forget his warm smile and popular ways. He has a way of his own for making those around him feel at ease and happy to be with him. They know him for his 3-D style, dashing, delightful and debonair. After graduation, Bob will take his many attributes to Moody A F Base

Robert

Phiiip Roman Hepburn, Jr.

While not exactly well known for his powers as a Mechanic of Physics student, Phil was certainly well known for his blinding flash. When not working in the darkroom or taking nasty pictures of everybody, he could be found in the swimming pool sloshing his way through the butterfly or being thrown out of a water polo game. In his later stages as a cadet he was often seen tooling a red hot tempest Lemons a la burmuda bell and air horns. Phil has no serious plans about any women in his future, so will probably spend most of his time at Laredo flying and drinking scotch. He's not sure just what he wants to fly yet, but he is set on a career as a flying officer.

Walter Charies Herter

Walt is terribly slow, but awful hard to keep up with, be it in academics, intramurals, or in cadet life. The only ones who seem to be able to keep up with him are his staff when they march to meals. After leaving these hallowed walls of glass and aluminum it's off to pilot school and if they ever change the directed duty assignment requirements graduate school in EE or Astro will follow. (He claims to be the only cadet in the history of the Academy to enjoy Astro 422.) When we asked Walt what bit of wisdom he'd like to pass on, he replied: "Aim for perfection in whatever you do; in.that way you'll always be working."

Randolph Bullitt Hertzog

TAC fighter-jock? After the fighting he has done at good ol' USAFA, something as simple as pushing a fighter through the air will come second nature to Randy. During his stand at the Academy, Randy has been fighting: how to go skiing without coach Arnesen finding out, how to see one particular nurse in Pennsylvania, and "everything in general."

The fighting will end in June, '62, for a while and then starts in August when he plans to take the Pennsylvania nurse away from it all (?). Maybe his '56 Merc will make a short stop in Reading, the old hometown, and then, look out Moody AFB, Georgia!

John Thomas High, III

Tom, a Southern colonel by birth, has established himself as a moderate liberal whose temperament is measured in shades of facial red. A native of Wilson, North Carolina, 11th Squadron's resolute Southerner began his "Union" military upon graduation from high school. J.T. Ill hates snow and reveille, but plans to be warm and wide awake for June Week '62, and matrimony, 8 days later, with a longintended Carolina Belle. Pilot training at Moody AFB, and an overseas tour comprise Tom's plans before a turn at grad school, by which time he hopes (tonguein-cheek) for graduate training in his favorite sport, water skiing.

Joseph Vincent Hines

V-Joe, a mild mannered lad in the West tradition of his New Jersey upbringing, has been an academic leader of the Red-Tags. One of the few of us to stay active in the choir, Joe has contributed much time and effort to help it grow sinceits inception with the Academy. The rest of his time has been divided between keeping us out of trouble and courting L.H.C. Joe's even disposition will leave him in good stead when he goes to live with the Oakies at Vance after graduation. From this cestial continental U.S. location Joe will be able to roam to wherever else some young lass might strike his fancy in his gas-saving six.

Richard Lee Hodgkinson

Hodge, the bourbon and soda kid, a reject of Craston, R.I. and holder of that school's record for class cuts was bom in Providence, R.I. on 18 Feb. 1939. A future helicopter pilot, this dashing skier, daring driver (of TD's and Morgan's), distant traveler (anywhere: just ask him!), and conqueror of the fairer sex (especially short blondes) plans to buy a second car and take up a concubine to take place of a wife. An engineering major, until he tackled Chemistry 101, Hodge now cmticipates a tour at grad school in economics.

After a brief encounter with military school, Hoff decided that the military school was not to his liking. Somehow, a year later, he found himself once again in the midst of what seemed to be a military environment. Gradually he became acclimated to his new janitorial duties.

Hoff never found studying very enjoyable but somehow managed to get as much out of a deck of cards and the pad as most of her cadets got out of the Astro book, and managed to graduate respectably high in the class.

Thinking himself well qualified in the applied sciences, found, by working on his MGA, that an uneducated mechanic has its advantages over an Electrical Engineer.

Willmore F. Holbrow, Jr.

Willie "The Slit" a native inhabitant of Boston arrived at the college of the Rockies at a youthful age. His noble efforts to revive the defunct hockey club are matched only by his successful handling of the Cadet Ski Club this year. Seldom seen in the squadron area, Willie spends most of his time attempting to achieve escape velocity around the track. Twelve hours of sleep (at night or in class) serve him good stead for the task. Without the benefit of previous college, Willie has been able to achieve majors in engineering and humanities during his stay here at the Academy.

Robert George Holcomb

"The Spi” is a true native of that state South of the border, New Mexico. Given any amount of time, he is willing to defend it with the gusto of the Chamber of Commerce. "The Hole" startedunder the old regime of ATO's and due to a little hard luck along the way, he has joined the Red Tag clan and hasn't been sorry since. While he departs for Webb and T-38's in his red convertible, he wills the next poor Group Ops the football bus rosters if there will be any.

David Elwin Holt

International Falls, Minnesota sent Dave to the Academy. (They didn't want him.) Although interested in architecture, the T-38 has become his immediate goal with an eventual TAC assignment in Germany. When Dave was confronted with the choice of life-long companion, he typically chose his yellow 190 SL in lieu of a wife, or so he says. His social tastes run something like hockey, German, classical music, sports cars, and of course, girls. Sounds like a solid start toward bachelorism. Academically, Dave excelled in his fourth semester of EE. Dave made many lasting friends while at USAFA who will attest to his personal drive that will offer the Air Force an outstanding officer.

Robert Stephen Hopkins

Hop came to us from East High School in Denver by way of Little Rock, Arkansas. His personality and outlook on life, especially in regard to women, have been a constant source of morale and entertainment to his classmates. At the same time a seriousness and dedication to duty which have been apparent to those who know him well insure that he will make a valuable contribution to the Air Force.

In addition to this his value as a U.S. salesman is immeasurable. Given one piano and a couple of fruit cocktails, plus the right atmosphere, Hop brings the house down in any country, as the European field trip indicated.

Ralph

Jefferson Hornaday

Jeff, known as "Horn" by his classmates, came to the Academy with a military background that paid off. He has distinguished himself during his stay here at the Academy by being a Squadron Commander, an Honor Representative, and an outstanding student. Jeff, with an affinity for red cars and blondes, plans to see a lot of both this summer before going to pilot training at Moody. After flying for as long as the Air Force will let him, he plans to go to graduate school in the field of astronautics.

William Page Howell

The savior of Fightin' Fourth's grade point average, Bill also gave the Cadet Chorale the benefit ofhis fine voice. A soprano in an all-male group is unusual, but Mr. Boyd needed all the help he could get. A Rhodes candidate this year, Bill will go to Ohio State University for graduate training. With all of this education behind him, he will be a sure bet to fit into the Air Force's Big Think House, the Puzzle Palace on the Potomac.

Michael Bryant Hughes

"The Chief"—from Peoria, Arizona. Of notable destruction is his car. A built in homing device directs it to Denver—Harrison Street—pronounced with a definite Swedish accent. The rather singular Swedish interest has come under considerable discussion lately. Has "the Indian" forsaken the "fun life?" When queried he just smiles and smiles and smiles. Aside from his ethnic pleasures, Mike concerns himself with the abolition of temperance. Much good from the serious side can also be said of this guy. Efficiency plus his standard in any job he undertakes. Only superlatives can be given to "the Chieftan." Without doubt this man is going places and first stop is the Navy.

Robert J. Huntsman

Bob hails from Southern Utah and he started his military career prior to his acceptance at the Academy in June of 1958. His professionalism and the desire to return to SAC after pilot training, at Laughlin AFB Texas, are well known throughout the Eighth Squadron. Bob's taste runs to classical music and blondes. This last fact will be verified with a June wedding. A new Comet Sedan and a trailer house are both part of Bob's future plans.

Donald Lee Hutchinson

Trooper Hutchinson survived jump training and held his own in the social world in a successful cadet career. Don is practicing his future fighter pilot exploits in his Bonneville. Chicago, Illinois, the home of Hutch probably will not miss him, but the Air Force should feel his presence.

Thomas Hutchison

Although Tom was born in Pennsylvania, he considers himself a Floridian. Hutch came directly to the Academy from high school. He entered the enrichment program, but won't receive his major. As a doolie, he tried out for freshman football. After being put back together, Tom decided to stick with Floridian type of activities, swimming. Tom considers his greatest achievement the water polo club. Beginning with a mere idea and a tremendous amount of encouragement, he will leave behind a club with virtual varsity status.

For his career, Tom is picking the U.S. Army. Hoping to get into the actualcloak and dagger department of intelligence, he wants to prepare himself for the worst.

Edgar Allen Jackson

Having spent three years at Georgia Tech before arriving here at the Academy, A1 was one of those cadets who was "married" when he entered. He brought more than a wife from Georgia, however. His easy going Southern smile has made it easy to get along with everyone while he was here. A1 was usually available for a party; in fact, he was even known to have organized some of his own. Graduation will be a big event for him; it will make the beginning of two careers.

John William Jamba

The big jolly man from Jersey claims to be the only man here who's enjoyed his tenure at the Academy. He "carried a lot of weight" around Flightin' Fourth so the system never bothered him much. His leadership abilities were well used in that he could sit down with a cadet (usually on top of him) and convince him of the folly of his ways. He was First Group Adjutant and Fourth's Activities Officer. But as President of the Cadet Club he did his best to increase Wing spirits (gin, vodka, etc.). Always smiling, always with a kind word for the doolies, he was never seen in any but his usual jovial mood. A member of elite 'Corvette Crew,' he plans to motor to Moody AFB and then fly TAC or ATC.

Larry Othar Jensen

The change from a Wisconsin farm to life at USAFA proved to be little trouble for Larry. Participation in gymnastics and basketball here have provided him with outlets for his natural athletic ability. This "walking muscle" is also a big threat to any academic curve, having been on the Dean's List during most of his time at USAFA. In his free time, Larry can usually be found taking part in the Ski Club activities of speeding off-base in his new Monza. This summer this soft-spoken second lieutenant will begin his Air Force career with pilot training at Vance AFB.

Niels David Jensen

The "Barren" is a member of an exelusive club; since very few people have ever done an outside loop, with a sports car. The Jensen, Fer, Wedemeyer trio has taken Eliot Ness to heart and on track trips they can be found in their pen stripped, double breasted suits. The cool Colorado climate has often left him longing for the warm weather in Alamo, Texas. He has his Texas drawl, quick wit, and ready smile all packed and is looking forward to June Week, graduation, and pilot training.

Leo Johnson

Leo is a little ball of dynamite who may well be one ofthe smallest fullbacks to play football at a big school and play well. He easily gains cooperation because he will never ask anyone to do something that he will not do himself. After leave his Corvette will carry him to Vance AFB and pilot training. Inside sources say that at Vance he will find a T-37 equipped with two pillows for him to sit on to insure his being able to see over the instrument panel.

Richard Kent Johnson

The original sun worshiper from Fresno, California, "Rich" simply can't stand Colorado's 10 month winter season. He has found that the combination of a dry climate, high altitude, and athletics are very conducive to sleep. Possessing one of the most scientific minds among the RTB's, he has always been able to derive himself a useful equation to max the daily quizzes, even though completely unprepared for the lesson. Always considered an easy going fellow by his classmates, it is evident that he cannot be easily be unnerved. His ability notto "clank" in an emergency should guarantee him a long and prosperous life as a pilot and officer.

Richard Raymond Johnson

Known in the Wing as Rich, Dick, Double R, or Baldy; R2 claims Massachusetts as his home, although his domicile and care are registered in Florida. After two years in a civilian college and four years at USAFA, his major has turned to graduation. He is probably best noted for having a chartered membership in USAFA's "BMS" (Bald Men's Society). Determined to keep his individuality as much as possible, R2 owns the only G.P. on base. But not to be outdone by his "Four Wheeled, Formation Flying" classmates, he is averaging some 2,300 miles per month. When grounded during the week, his interests are split among sleeping, shooting, and studying when necessary.

Bernard William Johnston

Bongie, Flash, Boogie Bear, rumbled into AFA from the Ground Hog capitol of the world, bought a new Corvette his senior year and now rumbles just a shade faster. Never sweated academics with better than a 3.00, and consequently never sweated anything else. Most famous for his silent, Commcmdo-like return to the dorm every Saturday night. Will be missed next year.

Charles Harlan Johnston, Jr.

"See Harlan" came to USAFA fresh from Roosevelt High in Des Moines, Iowa. He brought with him a brilliant mind, a great desire for knowledge, and a strong mistrust of anything that wears a skirt. While at the Academy "Teddy Bear" has developed into a top-notch, all around "Red Tag" with the ability to easily excel in any area he chooses to apply himself (including H.E. 402). He is also noted for his love of cool sounds and even cooler threads. In the past four years Harlan has managed to attribute a love of travel, but his plans for seeing that part of the world he has not already seen were cut short by his dear old Uncle Sam who decided that Harlan's next voyage would be to MTT sometime late in June to attain his master's degree in Astro.

Thomas Addis Keaney

Tom, often called "Cat," hails from Boston and judging from his stories about high school has gained valuable experience that few of us have. Tom has been a great help to everyone, especially giving speech lessons (South Boston dialect). He has ideas on everything, but worries about nothing. Tom has no plans for marriage, but sooner or later some gal will grab him. All of us will miss his sly smile. Even though he couldn't see the blackboard in class, Tom will make a 3.0 overall, learning mostly by osmosis. After pilot training in Georgia, he hopes eventually to fly fighters with later thought toward graduate school.

Harold George Keck, Jr.

When "Chooch" came to the Academy straight from high school, he discovered that he was the shortest man in the Wing. This only made him more determined to prove his giant-size weight. He quickly picked out a weapon and played lacrosse for third squadron. Since he is an Air Force "brat" without a real hometown, he has chosen Goldsboro, North Carolina as the place to hang his hat, mainly because his graduation day bride lives there. With his little man's bigness, Chooch is a cinch to make out great in pilot training.

Robert

Peter Keighery

Bob is one of many RTB's who is liked by all who know him. His pleasant personality and determined spirit are strongly admired. His years at the Academy found him far separated from his heart's desire but graduation and a wedding band seem destined to solve his problems. After a successful conquest of the Academy he moves on to pilot training at Moody AFB to further display his academic skill and, most important, to join the ranks of the fly-boys.

Thomas Michael Kennedy, Jr.

Wordly wise, benevolent Tom plans to launch a hard-put-for-competition career at Sky Blue U. in June with an all-encompassing Tom of "Fortress Europa." While a cadet Tom was noted for his likeable personality and a capacity for quick wit. Right at home on skis or on the lacrosse fields, he would put his TR right up along side any and all challengers—whether an A. Healey or Porsche—and somehow give them their money's worth every time. He plans to be first man out of those T-38's in '63 and last man in SAC by '83. Whatever the difficulty ofthe assignment, Tom will take it in stride and give the Air Force just a little better than expected.

gfinis Alan Kepner

For a man who never had much to say, "Denny" was always there when the job had to be done. Throughout his four years at the Academy he was constantly striving for ways to improve both himself and the "system." His battles with the "Fairchild Monsters" are a prime example. Needless to say, he attacked and beat all academic problems just as he faced challenge after challenge. His determination, we are sure, will be a great asset to the Air Force. Good luck and congrats to a great guy.

Keith Haynes Keppen

Due to his notorious fame as a buttonpusher one might peg "Keps" as a potential missile jock. However, his desire to fly quickly becomes evidefit as one talks to him. With his many hours of experience behind the wheel of his MG, a valuable asset to the Air Force would be lost if he were placed anywhere but in a fighter.

Until Keith arrives at a party to liven it up with his jokes and games, it is never really a success, and no one could ever have more fun than he.

At times Keith was challenged by an academic department, but he managed to parry these attacks as well as he did others with the saber itself in his palm. Well, it's on to pilot training now, and watch out for any wooden-legged senoritas, Keps!!

August Leander Keyes

Gus was recruited by the Air Force from that famous western town, Laramie, Wyoming, to straighten out the Academy's supply problem. After accomplishing this task to the highest degree of efficiency and before he was kidnapped by General Lemnitzer to raid the combat readiness of the modern airborne unit, he was not only one of the Academy's best debators, but he also found time to major in Public Affairs.

diaries Ronald Bums Kirk

Charlie will always be remembered by those who knew him as a great morale and spirit builder. His sense of humor was always refreshing. The rifle and mountaineering clubs owe their success today to the many hours of hard work which Charlie put in on them throughout his stay at USAFA. With his determination and intelligence as ready tools, he is sure to make his life as a civilian a profitable one.

Richard Leo Klass

"Dickey" brought his "Elmer Fudd" accent with him all the way from Buffalo. While learning to speak English, he seems to have acquired a taste for anything that's English—tea, rugby, Oxford The president of the "Red Tags" is at his best when discussing, debating, or discoursing in politics, philosophy, or economics. Post-June Week plans for this well-liked and respected cadet include a world tour, flying T-38's at "Willy," hopefully followed by F-110's, and, ultimately, a continuation of his top academic record at graduate school.

William Nelson Knipp

For a displaced medical student, Bill Knipp has certainly done his share in nonacademic endeavors to put the Academy on the map. Combining prowess on the basketball court with a friendly, easygoing personality, "The Knipper" has won a multitude of friends. Failing utterly as a "rock," Bill will be blasting out of the USAFA with a bridge, a Bonneville convertible, and his familiar determination to be the hottest jet jock in the Air Force. Our money says he's a man to watch!

Richard George Krebs

From the mysterious East came dis Krebs kid from Joisy City, New Joisy. With a year's experience as an airman under his *‘sarong he came to USAFA with the thought "mould me." Until recently much of his time and energy were spent, aside from that alloted to the Dean, Comm, Mom, etc., keeping his long white ears out of his way. Then it happened a blue eyed blonde from Denver shut his hutch door, and they set the day in June. The future? Pilot training, truck driving for MATC, Grad School, and baby sitting.

Robert John Kuchlewski

Kuch was known as the quiet type until he was put on an athletic field. His driving spirit and never say die attitude established him as one not soon to be forgotten on the squash and handball courts. All who have met him on the fields of friendly strife will agree that so fierce a competitor will be a success in any field. Bob's immediate choice is pilot training at Craig AFB and we know he will be able to answer the challenge.

Kenton Earl Lammers

Blasting into the Academy with a unique combination of brains, brawn, and humor, this Northwesterner had no problem contributing to the academic as well as social phases of cadet life. As a "bachelor Doolie," a "dating Third Classman," a "lover Second Classman," and finally an "engaged Firstie," Kent's regression in the feminine field was quite pronounced. Fortunately for the Air Force, however, extracurricular activities did not prevent him from doing a superb job in the academic field. Next year finds Kent and his new bride at Johns Hopkins preparing even more for what can only be a fine Air Force career.

Lanny Thomas Gus Lancaster

Since he hails from the Lone Star State L.T.G. proceeded to use his Texas charm quite effectively on the opposite sex while at USAFA. Apparently he loves them all for as yet he's only allowed each a limited number of excursions in his midnight blue Impala (top down) i.e., no permanent passengers as yet. Trader Vic's will miss his frequent visits and if there's a swinging place in Denver Lan has been there. While cutting holes in the clouds over Reese AFB it is hoped that Lanny will not neglect his ability as a bartender—one which many will attest to. (Hie) He knows how to work hard and relax easily and the Air Force will be gaining an all around fine officer—best of luck in everything Lan.

Paul Edward Landers, Jr.

Pablo, the New Mexican Road Runner, came to USAFA after a year at NMU. His first two years were easy, but the third he fought EE to a draw. His last year he could be seen doing almost anything—except studying; skiing and women rate highest on his list. He led the league in SACK time, and was heard to say as he left, "Black Magic and superstition win over science again."

Robert Grantham Lannon

Jose Jimenez in a flashy, red Ford convertible—that was Grant Lannon. Grant was not one to let schooling interfere with his education; he enjoyed life—every golden moment of it. After becoming one of the High Priests in the 24th Squadron Organization of Indifference, Grant proceeded to perfect the finer arts of partying and having fun.

Grant was friendly and always dependable in the clutch, however, and he will be a classmate we will always look forward to seeing again.

As a lover of the great outdoors, Chuck found plenty to do in Colorado. Among his primary interests are hunting, skiing, sports car driving and other outdoor sports (?). On the intramural fields Chuck is a dramp, but the reason for this is evident to anyone who has opened his door during the day and beheld the bump beneath the blanket. "Lars" seems to have at least a local monopoly on the formula SLEEP & FUN DEAN'S LIST, as evidenced by his effortless superiority in this field. Being a "rock," Chuck's early career plans center on the F-105 and bachelorhood. Good luck, Doc!

George William Larson, Jr.

George left "The Land of Famous Potatoes," behind to seek his fortune in the wide, wide world. How well he has sueceeded can be measured by "Desdemone," his wife-to-be; his possession of one of the largest collections of nick-names in the wing; his reputation of having slept through more classes than any other cadet; and by the affection and regard of all that know him. "The Glump," "Sweeney," "Ears" Larson is living proof that nice guys do finish on top. We predict success for George in whatever he tries—be it physics, raising good little Catholics, or flying—but only if Jan handles the finances and if he gets twelve hours of sleep a night.

David Robert Lee

Dave's home town is Buffalo, New York; and he has come to the Academy with a great interest in sports, especially skiing and lacrosse. During the winter months he can be found on the slopes during off duty hours. Dave is a member of the Academy Lacrosse team which has recently been elevated to varsity status. Last season he was honored as an All Rocky Mountain Conference Defense player (If you could call the way he plays defensive). In view of his letter-writing capabilities, and traditional "no sweat" attitude there can be nothing ahead but a bright future for he and Fran.

Hamilton Taylor Lenox

"Jay" Lenox began his military career fresh out of high school in Rolla, Missouri. Hard study put him out in front academically and gave him time to earn a brown belt in judo. "Jay" like his classmates showed no particular love for parades and IRI but being an optimist he took this in stride and went to bigger and better things. His love for sports cars and other racy items gives good indication that he'll be a "tiger" on a single engine. Pilot training will be at Webb AFB and those Texas gals had better be on the look out.

Gary Dean Lentz

Probably entering the Academy with a notion dead set to better the record of his upperclass brother, Gary put forth his effervescent energies making a name famous, as well as that necessary element of infamous, for himself. Gary proved early his competency as a "curve breaker" in the academic building, but soon chose to spread his time among musical endeavors, yearbook work, and coaching of squadron intramural teams to mention but a few of his pursuits. In the tradition of Richard Lovelace's, "I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honor more," he left a fair share of heavy hearts behind bridges unbumed. Gary, if his boundless activity on the Academy "pad" is an indication of things to come, should launch far beyond his immediate goals.

Robert Henry Lightsey

"Oso" or Senor Bob—either of these might be a familiar sound to Bob when someone calls his attention. Having adopted Spanish as his second native language, the names are quite appropriate. Another look, however, might give one aglimpse of yet another side of Bob's interest. Once he received a Form 10 for the offense "owning and/or apparently operating a horse in the First Class parking lot." The origin of this was his AOC, who noticed Bob, in the dress of a modem Maverick, leaving behind Cadet life for an evening (with the senoritas of Denver). Hailing from Columbia, South Carolina, he always plays the guitar in true southern

Pins Angels Lsrenzmi

An electronics genius from the keystone state of Pa., Dino had little difficulty with EE. As a matter of fact he had little trouble with any form of academics, always placing high in his class. Perhaps this is reason for attempting graduate studies at Illinois following graduation. "Little Napoleon" runs his squadron with an iron hand, most often placing duty before pleasure. But pleasure was not to be denied as Dino found much time to spend with his wifeto-be.

All these attributes should carry him a long way in the world; a world lucky to gain such talented person.

John Neate Luebbermann

"A man must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere/' "Ludwig Wolfgang Von Dueber, noted aerodynamist (only one turnout) and driver of sports cars (a Sprite???), made the scene in June of 58 with a smile on his face and a large rock in his left hand. A friend in need, John could always be counted on to help a buddy out of a jam. Not being a party man, "Duet" spent most of his off duty time at "Duffy's Library" and the A Bar G, "sleeping." John hopes to pursue his Air Force career as a bachelor fighter pilot, preferably in Europe.

George Harry Lyddane

George adjusted rapidly from the backboard jungle life of New York to the rigid discipline of cadet life. He responded to correction immediately. For instance, when one upperclassman "corrected" his room arrangement by discarding several articles onto the floor, he responded by doing the same good deed in the upperclassman's room. Pasting chicken tracks leading to upperclassmen's rooms was another of his favorite pastimes. George has become even more settled now that love has come his way (from all directions). Prediction for the near future: pilot training, dating, and drinking. Later on: SAC assignment, wife and family, and heavier drinking.

Lawrence Arthur Lynn, Jr.

Aug., 1940—TDY Chicago—West Suburban Hospital; (details not available). Spent tours of 3 years each in Decatur, Ill., Owensboro and Lexington, Ky., the "heart of the blue grass." DCS to Shelbyville, IIlinois, where most of formative years were spent. Managed to get through high school through connection with Superintendent of Schools. Born 26 June 58 at Lowry AFB. Now almost 4 years old!

David Christopher Lyon

Dave, coming from the wilds of southern Nevada, found the "civilization" of Colorado to his liking and spent five years, one at the University of Colorado, preparing himself to become a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. Always ready to provide transportation to Denver, he found his entertainment away from the Academy on weekends. Dave enjoys participating in a wide variety of sports from tennis and volleyball to football and lacrosse. He has played with distinction on many of his squadron's intramural teams. Dave's next goal will be to graduate from pilot training at Webb.

lames Edwin Mack

When "the Fuzzer" first arrived on the scene in '58, he thought that ole Aluminum U was a trade school for auto mechanics. The initial shock soon was over, though, and the drag racer from Viola, Illinois soon rose to fame and stardom in this our military life. Academics were a different story, however, but Fuzz soon became a firm believer in the now famous Class of '58 adage. Jim's future hopes are in the ADC-NASA field and he aspires to break the F-106 quarter-mile record.

Jerome Charles MacLennan

Mac will probably be best remembered for his wild gyrations on the dance floor. If he has any bones in those long legs, they never showed. Somewhere in the middie of his first class year, this Chicago bred character went power mad, traded his sedate 59 Ford for a 62 Corvette, and proceeded to try and break it in in one weekend. Luckily for all concerned, he did not succeed. I hope Selma, Alabama has a patron saint to protect them when this wild Red Tag arrives for pilot training.

Charles Howard MacNevin

Claiming that home is where the heart is, Mac's home is in California, although he is domiciled in Pennsylvania. Four years of backing through the academic jungle have left him unscratched and sporting an enviable 3 point average. An active leader within his class for the duration of his stay at the Academy, he has won the respect and admiration of all those who have worked with and under him. The reward of graduation will be doubled when a pretty little California school teacher will become "Mrs. Mac." Post graduation plans include pilot training at Williams AFB, and an eventual return to school for a Master's degree. His handy smile and generous nature should be stepping stones to a very rewarding career.

James George

He was just an innocent plowboy from near Morton, Minnesota, and never had any idea what he was getting into when he left the farm. He likes to read as long as there are lots of pictures in the book that he can chase electrons around on. On week ends we don't see much of Jim any more. It seems that he has some interest in the domestic life. He's always counting three more days than all of the rest of the first classmen.

Michael Gray Major

Mike (Big Daddy) Major, Ellensburg, Washington, the leader of the clan, and oh, the competition they offer the Hollywood Rat Pack. Denver girded itself weekly for the onslaught—until recently when First Squadron's "Sinful Seven" were apprehended after a Friday foray. Operating under the philosophy: "Enter and exit swinging," Daddy in action is something to behold. A true philanthropist, Maj does little for his fellow man but much for fellow women. It's impossible to list all of his areas of interest, but many of them came in bottles or skirts. Though filled with the "joie de vivre," Mike does not neglect the serious touch either. Here is a man who knows where he is going.

Richard Thomas Mangold

The "Merciless Ming," as he is known, is a person who displays a large interest in people and theirrelations to politics and human society. Having been on the debate team for several years, one never finds him unable or unwilling to get into a friendly discussion of any kind.

William Harry Mannion

"You gotta have a status symbol." That's Bill's motto and his status symbol is a maroon Corvette which is probably the fastest car in the cadet wing at this time.

Bill hails from Kalamazoo, Michigan and attended Bay City Central High School, where he is very famous.

Bill's academic interests are in the scientific fields in which he has excelled while at USAFA. His other interests while at the Academy are bowling and golf.

However, you will not find Bill at the Academy during his free time anymore. He and his spending a lot of time in Englewood.

Will will take his pilot training at Moody AFB. Then, he will get married and fly F-100's out of Mirtle Beach.

Lyman Whitten Marshall

The first alarm clock goes off at 3:30 AM, then the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and the seventh! His roommate brains him with it as he staggers out to write a term paper and finish one of his many engineering projects before reveille. The quick-tempered scotch-man (this can be taken in more than two ways) has put out for the past four years and well deserves the DG he received. In his red Corvette barrelling down the highway to Michigan at 110 mph, one can be sure of the success of this energetic man. Good luck, Hymie!

Harreld Pirtle

Martin

When "H.P." came to us, he had already developed a great love for the finer things of life, parties, girls and fast cars. Four years at the Aluminum Zoo only served to intensify these loves. During his stay here, his love spread all over the great state of Colorado. C.U. girls knew him as the big "rock" and he was probably the only cadet to have a personal life in the Air Police office. He once considered going into the used car business, but it seems that TAC will get preference over that.

Edward

Allan Maitinelli

Eddie came to us from the Brooklyn section of Hialeah, Florida. During his first two years in brilliant blue, Eddie kept in tip top physical condition by taking long walks at times specified by the Commandant of Cadets. But, through an evident strong sense of duty and a neverending ability to envoke laughter, Ed rose through the ranks to hold the top position in 17th Squadron.

Eddie's fine personality was appreciated by all. Consequently, he is going to make the tie that binds sometime after graduation—and before the succeeding weekend! From there they will proceed to Moody to take ATC by storm.

Thomas Pearson McAtee

Tuck, an aspiring astronaut and Missouri's ambassador to the slopes at Aspen calls 11th Squadron home. A sports car fanatic as well as a ski enthusiast, Tuck, in his Austin roadster, is an old customer to the ski resorts of Colorado. Quote the ladies' man, Tuck rivals the suaveness of the old river boat gamblers of his hometown, St. Louis. But waiting to meet them all, his plans include pilot training, graduate school, hopefully a birth in the Aero Space program, and a cubic acre of hell before marriage. A ready smile, a tireless and untiring wit, and a real personal warmth have placed Tuck on the road to a successful Air Force Career.

Raymond Merl McClintock, Jr.

Ray hails from Nevada, Ohio where he spent the first 18 years of his life before entering the Academy. A confirmed SAC man, he hopes someday to get into B-52's; that is, if he makes it through pilot training without walking up the aisle. Ohio State now holds the interests of his love life; however, a few of the local schools also have been in competition. The next year should find him at Del Rio, Texas, where he will be going through pilot training.

Robert Leroy McDonough

After surviving eight years of military school education, the "Rodent" went cold at Monmouth College in Illinois. It took him only one year to return to his beloved military life; asked why he returned, he shakeshis head sadly and says "I dunno." Fighting eyes of Ben Martin andmade his way into the football team where he became tabbed as the "hero of the little people" and went on to become team captain. His favorite hobby is skiing at the Red Ram. He has applied for a command pilot rating in El after garnering an infinite number of hours in the academic battle. He plans on turning O'Hare Field over to the Air Force so that he can get back to Chicago.

Eugene David McHugh

Gene took the advice of Greely and went west in 1958. Since then Pennsylvcmia has never quite been the same. His love of girls is second only io his love of the Magoo mobile. From the blue zoo Gene will head south for pilot training, by the grace of the Commandant. Judging from past performance Gene will have no sweat down south.

Robert John McNaughton

Coming straight from the Dairy State where he spent one year at Wisconsin State College, "Mac" was attracted to the Rockies by the lightning streaks on the Falcon's football helmets. He wore that helmet proudly for four years, managing to fit some academic classes into his daily schedule of sleeping, eating, and exercising. An all around athlete, Mac has earned many lasting friendships in the field of friendly strife. Following his heart, Mac will be supporting two as he heads off towards pilot training and a future assignment with TAC.

Philip Alexander Merkel

Buzz came to the monastery from a small town outside of Milwaukee. In spite of a long doolie year, he kept his appreciation for those fine malt beverages that made Milwaukee famous and not those that "brewed with Rocky Mountain spring water." Between the ski club and a VW he managed to ski as much as possible. (No thanks to women.) He leaves 14th and the Monastery with pleasure.

Stephen Clement Mettler

Hailing from Fort Wayne, Indiana, Steve is one of the famous (or is it infamous) Fourteenth Squadron "Rocks." Finals were hard this year for Steve, not so much because of the material but because he didn't knowwhat books we'd been using. While he didn't damage the binding of his books by opening them, he did manage to log quite a bit of pad time. In fact, he logged so much that he often missed that final last-minute dash to class and strolled over at his own easy-going pace. Steve shows himself to be a true Red Tag by sporting a red Austin Healey. Better send all mail to Moody AFB because this traveller will either be in Sweden, Spain or points in between this summer.

Roger Thomas Meyers

Commonly known as the life of the party, Roy has an unmatched reputation in the field of fun. Distinguished in the fall term as 11th Squadron Commander, his spring role as weekend playboy came as a welcome relief. An avid "twister" with the motto "Help stamp out Rock and Roll" Roy's ballroom antics are the toast of MidWestern social life, even if the scourge of the Arthur Murray party. With a keen regard for the "objective" his "firstest with the worstest" performance promises a rewarding experience with USAF's T-38 and longed-for space capsules. A summer in the Caribbean and a tour of the nation in the "Queen Mary," his Cherry-red Pontiac, will precede his pilot training tour at Webb AFB, Texas.

Richard Stanley Mickel

"Mick" came to us four years ago from the land of many lakes—St. Paul, Minnesota. He has spent muchof his visit at USAFA building hi-fi sets and then trying to sell them so that he can build himself another set. His last two years have been lived on a cloud. Since his heart was stolen by a little girl on his European field trip, he has never been the same. He has plans to marry her as soon after graduation as he can return to Europe. After a honeymoon in Europe, he and his bride will return to Crcdg AFB to settle down to flying, making a home, and raising little "brats."

John Frank Miko

After one year at Pitt., John left the steel and cool country of the Keystone state to take his chances with the rest of the Red Tags. The one year spent at college was not in vain, however, for he found academic challenging, but not extremely difficult. After that first field trip in March of 59, John found that he liked the outside world much better than the falcon coast, and managed to spend the remaining summers on the underclass field trips. Fond of outdoor sports, he grew to love the big stick of a defenseman in lacrosse and was named to the Rocky Mountain all state team. His immediate plans are flying training at Willy and a domestrated life in TAC (he hopes)!

Charles Larry Moore

With "Jet Jock" ambitions and loads of determination, this refugee from Oregon appeared to take the Academy right in stride. His persistent smile and desirefor a good time made Larry the type of fellow we all liked to have around. Although a confirmed "Rock," Larry's feminine acqucrintances range from Colorado Springs to the far reaches of northern Europe. We are certain that as Larry blasts off for pilot training in his red convertible he will enter a career in the Air Force which will be surpassed by few.

Thomas Kittrell Moore

T.K., a rebel from Falls Church, Virginia, is known to us as the Squadron almanac. His knowledge of aircraft, submarines, and related fields is exceeded onlyby Jane's. T.K. has a great interest in the USSR and plans to visit there this summer. He hopes to put his jump training to work in TAC and someday, after an anvanced science degree go to the moon.

Alan Leroy Mosher

A stable and congenial friend, A1 can be depended upon to do his best whether on the intramural field, training doolies, or sitting in front of a TV set. Always ahead of the systems, both military and academic, A1 will be a lasting asset to the Air Force as he paradoxically tries to remain a "Rock" in a black Corvette.

Kenneth Edward Needham

Ken was known as "Rug," Kenny Needham, depending on the times of year. Hailing from Yuma, Arizona, he spent a great deal of time trying to prove that Arizona is called the Garden State. Gifted with both brains and athletic ability, Ken was a familiar figure in the Falcon football line up; he majored in Basic Sciences and was in the top fifth of the class in academies. "Rug" was very popular with a certain girl in Denver and spent many lost weekends there. Steady and dependable, Ken should make a fine go of the Air Force.

Ted Arvin Neff

Born with a towel in his hand, Tedna moved from Texas to California early in his career of being a service "brat" and by the time he arrived at USAFA he could call just about any place in the world home. Just ask him.

Skiing and "she-ing," his favorite pastimes, have helped pass the long Colorado winters and although Alabama and Craig AFB don't have much in the way of skiing, we're sure the other half of his hobby will increase sufficiently to keep him busy. This is insured by his father's highly opportune invention, and by his red "vette."

Don Lawrence Netzinger

Don descended on the Academy from Wisconsin, one of two more normal members of an infamous group from that fair state. Finding Colorado to his liking, he decided to stay for awhile. During his Third Class year, he became friendly with the natives, found a restless one, and decided that to calm her down he would have to take her to wife. All in all, Netz hasn't regretted any of his actions. He looks forward to flying, driving a new Impala each year, and just being his likeable self.

Edwin Carraway Newman

On a memorable day in June, 1958, E.C. left his beloved home in Sampson County, N.C.—fresh out of high school and ready to whip the Air Force Academy at its own game. After sneaking through his fourth class year and freshman customs E.C. turned his attention to more enjoyable things in the form of wine, women, and cards. Even with his heavy schedule of above interests, E.C. still found time to play football, march in an occasional parade, and do a little studying on the side. Now that the battle with academics is over E.C. claims a slight victory (graduation) and looks forwards to bigger and better things, if that is possible, and E.C. firmly believes it is.

Howard Fish Nichols, Jr.

Being a fledgling, who can say where Nick really came from. However, he did come to ole 13th by way of the University of Munich—and the beerhalls nearby. Throughout his four years at USAFA he fought the academic departments with as much vim and vigor as he did his classmates on the squash courts. With his energy and high devotion to duty any Air Force unit is going to very forunate to have Nick. His bachelorhood is numbered in days, for he and Ellen plan to tie the knot even before he sallies forth to win his wings. Oh, yes, he sleeps too.

James Larry Nichols

Nick was born in the Ozarks of Missouri, although he hates to admit it; he disclaims the first year and a half of his life there, claiming God's Country—Texas —as his own. His hobbies, developed in this vast Western setting, are cars and girls in that order; he claims to be married to his Corvette, his only true love. His love of speed, thus far only developed on the ground, interpolates itself to the crir in his 1st assignment at Webb AFB ("in Texas, naturally") with the T-38. With luck and a fighter pilot's spirit, he awaits the day when he can go into TAC and F-110's.

Steve Wall Nielson

Steve picked up his talent with a soccer ball in his youth at St. Louis, and he has put it to good use here at AFA. Since coming to "aluminum U" Steve has discovered the wonders of the ski slopes and if it wasn't for his Air Force career he would probably become a "ski bum." Between trips to Aspen, Steve has devoted just enough time to studies to maintain a strong 2.0 average. He is now down to two cars, an MG and a VW, but is trading off both of these and on graduation day will be roaring off into the sunset in his new Porsche.

Nels Nicholas Niemi

When "Screamin'" met the Academy in 1958 he wondered "is it any worse down there?" In four years Nels did his utmost to increase his education and experience as a professional military man with "peace is our profession" as a motto. A certain claims to fame was in "Operation Cicero" and the member 405. Though he was crazy for mountain climbing, Nels was a likeable practical guy with a tremendous determination to see what he could do for his country.

A Latin-Americcm music lover is B. Ohman, the Jose Jiminez of second squadron. He has freed himself from his reading of Mad Magazine to produce some very fine art work. BO's little black cloud has caused him to have more than the major injuries required by the P.E. Department. Let's hope that he doesn't take these to pilot training with him.

Daryl Flaa Olson

Ole came to us in '58 after having the chance to experience the evils of civilian colleges in Aberdeen, Washington. The change in environment hasn't seemed to slow himdown much however, as he has maintained an overall average of near 3.9. Academics didn't slow him down socially though, as big O was a familiar figure at most red tag parties, Ole's brother can testify to this as his residence in Denver became the scene of a few parties too. He plans to travel for the summer and in late August will head for Phoenix, Arizona and Williams Air Force Base. His plans for the future include grad school after a tour in fighters.

David George Olson

Dave started out in California, which he left soon after the end of WWII because of a lack of excitement. South Dakota had an undiscovered frontier waiting for him where he substituted the Indians for his former adversaries. About 1958 Ole left his right flank uncovered and was shot as he entered the Academy where he has been going battle with the more versatile academic department ever since. He plans on meeting another for on the "fields of friendly strife" soon after graduation.

William Randle O'Rourke, Jr.

It's a long way from the Academy to the bayous of Louisiana, but every fall around football time you can hear, "Go you Tigers!" floating out over the terrazzo. Once an L.S.U. fan always an L.S.U. fan. That's the motto of Cadet O'Rourke, the oldest young man in the Academy. His Irish blood has enabled him to breeze through the few short years to graduation. He acquired the nickname "slopes" when he traded his water skies in for the snow type. Since then he hasn't had any skiing accidents to speak of. After graduation he will be waiting at least three hours before he is married. A good binding is a must for all successful skiers.

Gene Champlin

Gene Pacina, ethnically called the "Wop," or more appropriately, considering his many business interests, "The Merchant of Venice," is always to be seen on the scene, unless he's on restrictions. Bakersfield, California, is home base for this far ranging entrepeneur.

His European inclination is found in his automobile and vivid memories ofSecond Class field trip.

Often seen drifting here and there in his red Porsche (named the money grabber), he goes about his business with a gay and single abandon, candidly admitting that the A.F. might go afterfour years in Security Service, so that the store can be watched. We say—Good Luck, Wop.

Guy Paddon, III

H.G. had never been much further west than West Silver Springs, just one Spring, until he accepted the challenge of the curriculum at the Window Washer's Nightmare. After a year at North Carolina State College, academics looked like easy sledding until he ran into the many brick walls built by the English Department. It will be hard to replace him as 8th Squadron's record librarian and his 140 plus LP's. Harry is the type that plans for the future as exemplified by his June wedding dateand his acquisition of a '62 Comei station wagon.

Whitey, well known for his remarkable ability to say the most in the fewest soft spoken words as possible, came to the Academy from the metropolis of Bear Creek, North Carolina. Not losing any time, he was soon seen in Arnold Hall most every weekend during his Doolie year with an attractive young lady from Denver town. He was never affiliated with the "Rock" Club during his four year stay because his past association and future marriage with this charming young miss made it unnecessary.

We all know that success will follow Whitey throughout his Air Force career which will later on include graduate training in Electrical Engineering.

Robert

Danlee Paquet

One of the mighty midgets of his squadron, Dan doesn't have any trouble handling the big boys, especially on the intramurder fields. Because of his proficiency in various intramurder sports, he was selected Squadron Intramurder Officer last fall. In addition to a certain California girl named Nancy, his interests include outdoor sports such as archery, hunting, lacrosse, and skiing, and he is quite proficient in them. Whether it's shooting down fresh powder or shooting mule deer on base, it all comes naturally to him. Dan, one of those friendly, soft-spoken, easy-going types, intends to remain a bachelor—until two hours after graduation.

Richard Channing

Don't let that shy little smile fool you because behind that smiling face of Dick Parker's there lies a cunning mind. If you have trouble locating Dick around campus on the weekends, he can usually be found in one of two places: behind the wheel of his Volkswagen or behind a pizza and a glass of port at the Roman Villa.

As for the future, no womenare going to mess up Dick's plans to start a hobby of owning sports cars. After all, why would a fighter jock with a Porsche need a woman?

Robert Hugh Parker

Bob was born in the great metropolis of Nashua, New Hampshire, about twentytwo years ago. Being a fledgling, hehas already seen most of the world including Texas. He gets a particular thrill out of giving tall cadets rides in his Karmann Ghia when his girl lets him use his car. His greatest ambition now is to enjoy the freedom of the outside world between graduation on the sixth and his wedding to one of Denver's "slicker types" on the seventh.

Stanley Albert Patrie, Jr.

"Stan" is the only man who can face reveille with a smile, especially since he is contemplating an immediate return to the pad. As 11th Squadron Commander he is often heard leading his men with the command "Saddle up, we're moving out." Presently Stan is in a dilemma as to whether it is more fun to fly an airplane or sky dive out of one. As an avid sky diver and a popular figure on the RoChester, New York motorcycle race tracks, he has continued his search for excitement with the purchase of a fire-engine red Sunbeam Alpine. Aeronautically inclined in every respect, Stan measures his speed on the ski slopes in Mach numbers and is frequently heard at the Red Ram lamenting his lack of airbrakes.

Gaillard Ray Peck, Jr.

A few years back Gail came to USAFA to get a set of wings and the "right" start at the "Glass Monastery of the Rockies," he has agreed to go a few rounds with the academic departments in the YBYL (You Bet Your Leave Club) as well as his other extracurricular activities. After pilot training he hopes to fly fighters and then go back to graduate school in Astronautics. All in all, he's well on his way to a suecessful military career.

David Jon Pederson

Dave left the athletics field of Churchville, New York and came out to the athletics fields of USAFA four years ago. Besides his old sports of baseball and soccer, Dave acquired a taste for skiing. Dave's done all right in the academic field, also, with his current major being his M.G. From here Dave's going off to pilot school and then hopes to go TAC fighting.

Daniel Harry Pemberton

From the wild stretches of Montana, Dan came to USAFA to seek his fame and fortune. His fortune only reached a maximum of $34 per month as a firsty but his fame has fared considerably better. A loyal "Red Tag," hard worker, straight shooter, teetotaler (ha! ha! ha!), and an aspiring scholar, Dan can be justly proud of his record at USAFA and look forward to a tremendous career in the Air Force.

Richard Eugene Perlotto

Rick brought with him from Torrington, Connecticut a certain humorous wit and an easy going "no sweat" attitudewhich enabled him to complete his four years at AA without the myriad of problems that seem to beset most of us. Known for his parties at the A Bar G, Rick also earned his "command wings" at Duffy's Tavern. Not the least unhappy to see him depart Colorado will be skiers at Loveland Basin where on many a winter weekend, Rick could be seen careening down the mountain and heard screaming the word that strikes fear in the hearts of the bravest— "Cadet." With his ability and personality, Rick should be a great asset to the Air Force.

Paul Edward Pirtle

After four years of tiresome academics accompanied with loss of hair he is going on to two years of graduate work; result, complete loss of hair.

Charles Stokes Price

Good ole C.S., the Corvette Kid, hails from Chestertown, the heart of Maryland's dairy area. This hard-working farm boy used his wit and humor and other exceptional qualities to become Fightin' Fourth's Honor Representative and Squadron Commander during the Spring Term. He was also active in helping the Lacrosse Club onto a near-varsity status. He coached a Wing Championship Lacrosse Team and has been a consistent starter for the Lacrosse Club. He was also a member of the Protestant Religious Council. He is a TAC man all the way and he will try to prove it when he wheels his Corvette into Moody AFB for pilot training.

Michael Edward Quinton

Mike came to the Rockies from Ypsilanti, Michigan where a year of college seasoned him for the "big push." He came to us as a freedom loving bachelor but his quiet ways and silent but deadly personality won him a future wife and cost him the price of a wedding ring. A competitive spirit and agile mindhave stayed with him for his four years here and should be a great asset in the future, especially when he and his bride journey to Reese AFB for pilot training. We hope to see him in fighters after that.

Richard Allen Ramsey

After migrating from the cornfields of Iowa, "Levi" adapted happily to the rockies of Colorado. He found AFA life to be to his liking and at the same time made a lot of friends, who will be lasting ones. Amidst a love for the outdoors, Dick fostered an early adaptability to flying as could be seen as he traversed the local airways during off duty hours. Graduation will find him and his convertible heading toward Vance AFB where he will probably soon learn that his disguise as a "rock" will quickly vanish under the onslaught of friendly feminine persuasion.

Somewhere between Colmar, Iowa and the Air Force Academy, John picked up the nickname "Mouse." It might have been due to his tremendous 130 pounds. It is a good thing Mouse took most of the Math courses here because he will need it to figure the number of gallons per mile his new Plymouth Fury gets. He really enjoys going to Europe, andhad a very good time there on his field trip, so he was told later. With his long, wavy hair, and white convertible, he may turn into a lover yet.

Raymond Judson Reeves, Jr.

Bunky came to us after a 19 year tenure as a service brat and joined his colleagues in praise of Colorado's ski slopes and women. He staged a running battle with the academic and military shops while earning his "sack" wings and L/C shoulderboards. He led therush from the Rockies with an aqualung strapped to his back as he headed for Dixie and pilot training.

John Thomas Rausch

Thomas Michael Rentenbach

Mike is a Southern gentleman in the finest ante-bellum tradition. When he migrated west he brought it all with him ineluding the U.T. and a big white Thunderbird, however, he threatens to take it back when he goes to Craig AFB. Normally he divides his spare time in three equal parts between the red pad, the ski slopes, and various and sundry cold institutions in Denver or Boulder. Doubtless he's going to be an MI-AI officer even if they don't put him in 105's out of Germany.

Roger Stephen Rhoades

Listening to his jazz, smoking his Pall Malls (not about to offer you one, either!) and muttering something about missing cigarettes, Rog's thoughts run the gamut from those of one very enchanting Miss J. M. (his ever-loving regulator), his many roughish acquaintances, and ''Who keeps stealing my Pall Malls?" to things as flight training, marriage, and his future C.O. An overflowing personality, he is equally as influential with poly sci instructors as with his innumerablefriends—"No sir, you may not have one of my Pall Malls." Admittedly a natural intellect as well as a cosmopolitan, California Rog has never ceased to serve as a shining example for very young man who aspires to become an American Tobacco Company executive.

Thomas Stewart Rhoades

A native of the Quaker State, Tom came to USAFA with much determination, and motivation. Both have paid high dividends. Tom, has, through hard work and natural ability, done extremely well academically, and stands high in his class. A standout in science andmath at all levels Tom has suecessfully obtained his degree in Applied Engineering Sciences, and plans to continue his studies in graduate school after receiving that cherished commission. Serving in the capacity of Squadron Operations Officer his senior year, Tom demonstrated that he not only has smarts but leadership qualities as well. Also a regular socialite, hehas an intense interest in blondes, '62 Chevys, and just havin' a good time.

Harold Wescott Rhodes

Hal, who came to the Academy as a "brat" (A.F. type), spent his first year trying to keep out of the way of his brother, who was then a first classman (some people's kids!). Since then he has become knownfor his cheerful smile (even at 0600!) and for his ability to make better than respectable grades, despite his favorite position of study—horizontal. From his fondness for trips and shooting, Hal found his niche on the pistol team as the Academy's answer to have gun, will travel. His senior year he acquired a jag and claims to have made it from the Academy to Denver in less than 40 minutes. This is not bad considering a delay in route for "fuel" at Castle Rock.

Colin Richardson

In the words of one AOC, he was the most outstanding—prominent, conspicious or stricking in Webster's terms. Few are the "doolies" who would disagree with the conspicious aspect, for his presence warranted them many special inspections and dressing down a sharp uniform. And this same group would call him striking in that to the last man he was highly respected for all that. Calm, or "Rich," is a man of strong convictions, not altogether based on a belief in differing from the norm, and can often as not be found in discussion of them. His athletics at the Academy were limited to the right elbow bending variety on week ends, where he certainly was prominent. Hard work earned him a high academic standing.

Eugene Lawrence Robbins

"Robby" hails from that metropolis of the South—Marion, North Carolina. Being one of the few cadets that has remained with the same girl for four years, Robby seems destined to the fate of most of the male populace. Often from his room can be heard the latest "Hot Dog" music, and the "Big Bopper" can be credited with popularizing the "Twist" in Niner Squadron. In four years at the Academy, Robby has become a friend of almost everyone. Craig will be hishome base for the next year, during which time we shall undoubtedly see the "Rock" of North Carolina crumble under the charm of the girl back home.

Warren George Robbins

After spending a very enjoyable year at the University of Illinois, Robbie decided to give the Air Force a try and accepted an appointment to the Academy. His four years at USAFA have been devoted to getting a degree and commission in the Air Force from the Academy—as well as other extremely important activities such as wine, women, and song. After graduation he is looking forward to the valley of sunshine and clear skies as pilot training near Phoenix, Arizona. In the future, he would like to do post graduate study in International Affairs.

Paul Kurtz Robinson, Jr.

Hailing from Gal ion, Ohio, "PK" travelled westwardafter one year at Wooster College. Here he has amazed his instructors and classmates maintaining a high GPA despite his myriad activities and the attentions paid to a lovely lass from St. Louis. On weekends he may be found on the ski slopes or sitting domestically in front of a fireplace sipping a cordial. August will find him a happily married man equally at home behind the stick of a T-38 or the wheel of his Volkswagon. With his initiative, intelligence and leadership ability he will undoubtedly be an outstanding officer.

Peter Dodd Robinson

Peter D. Robinson will no doubt be remembered for finishing as the number one graduate in the class. A very commendable accomplishment, indeed, and "Pete's" other achievements during his four years at USAFA only serve to show that no one could have been more deserving of that honor. He was consistently named to both the Dean's and the Commandant's lists, and at the same time managed to participate in a wide variety of activities. During the spring semester, Pete served as Wing Materiel Officer and was chosen to that post a second time during the June Week period.

Norman Frederick Roderick

Hailing from the steel mills of McKeesport, Penn., "Rod" has been an all around asset to the Wing. The mild, soft-spoken guy always seemed to be busy, but that never stopped him from helping those in need. An excellent student and athlete, he has been on the Sup't's Merit List and has run track for four years. After graduation, he plans to uncrease his education by attending graduate school in Astronautics at Michigan, a feat in itself. With his background and assets, Rod's future and that of the Air Force will be bright. Good luck, Rod, and keep plugging.

David

Hartley Roe

David came to us from Topeka with a slingshot in hand and proceeded to fell the omnipotent Goliaths of Academics, Athletics, and all other obstacles that he encountered. His competitive spirit, as evidenced by leadership on the Soccer Field, in the classroom, and in various social gatherings throughout the Rocky Mountain Empire, showed him as a man to be reckoned with.

During his last semester he was known as "Our Leader" and handled the top job with confidence. The Air Force will wait a few years for his services, since Oxford, England will be his field of friendly strife. We are looking forward to big things from Dave.

John Hamilton Rogers, Jr.

Johnny came out here fresh out of high school from Charlottesville, Virginia, with no idea what to expect and no firm ideas about the Air Force. He soon found out what he should have expected all along and after a while developed a fairly good idea of what his career in the Air Force was going to be. As soon as he was allowed he found his way around Colorado and liked what he saw. He soon picked up the Western dress and customs (including coors) and stated frequently the western night spots during off duty hours. One of the wiser Red Tags, he did not buy a new car and is not getting married. Upon graduation he is heading back to the Southland to learn to fly.

Ervin Jerome Rokke

In June of 1958 a tall, young man from the north woods of Minnesota descended upon the unsuspecting "School of the Air." With a friendly personality and an amazing capacity for work, Erv won many friends and honors. A steady member of the Dean's List, he is contemplating grad school after graduation. Although nicknamed the "Rock," he is also planning on taking the long walk with a certain Minneapolis attraction that the Academy could not replace. His determination and keen sense of dedication will undoubtedly make Erv a fine officer.

Robert James Scauzillo

Skiz invaded the Academy with an airy wit, pleasing smile, and good-natured humor which has prevailed, in spite of academic overloads, Colorado weather, and fickle females. A constant "wearer ofthe Dean's star," Bob declares anything outdoors holds his interest—tennis, girls, skiing, girls, the woods

Since the addition of his wheels, CU, CWC, and Loretta have been his home away from home, although he does occasionally take time off for a second love—skiing. Skiz has always been a diligent worker in sports, as well as academics, and 7th squadron's intramural teams have often rallied to his encouragement. This leadership ability will be an asset to both him and the Air Force after graduation.

Robert Charles Schaller

That cunning little runt, Bob Schaller, really gets around, considering he has to take two steps to every one normal step. The peripatetic "Runt" is most often seen travelling toward his girl's house in Colorado Springs. A soccer penalty kick expert, he hopes to kick around the Arizona sky after graduation. His St. Louis accent should blend well with the Arizona drawl to produce a fine Air Force combination.

Randall Lee Schamberger

Born in Freeport, Illinois, it took Randy ten years to realize the advantages of living in Florida, but since that time he's been a dyed in the wool Southerner. The old man in the Wing who is more comfortable standing on his hands than he is on his feet, Randy is a member of Coach Jim Tanaka's menagerie. Caught (?) in the clutches of a sweet young thing, Randy is out to make the best of married life and an Air Force career.

Robert Simon Schaumberg

One of the tallest and best-looking of Fightin' Fourth's RTB's, the Pride of Bismarck, had a tremendous amount of athletic ability which he contributed to the Baseball and Basketball teams. Opposing batters were no match for this cool pitcher. His deft ball handling, uncanny accuracy, and excellent clutch playing sparked the basketball team to a string of admirable season records. He played a few games with out Academic Departments but managed to score on them consistently and finally retire the side. He will take his Monza and wife to Vance AFB and leam to fly for TAC.

Michael Tarry Schieber

This ''Fightin' Fourth" super skier from Seattle has bolstered the Academy's ski team for the last four years. He has placed high in some of the nation's top ski meets competing in downhill and slalom. He has been a frequent "Apres ski" visitor at such culturally famous places as the Red Ram, Norseman, and the Rathskeller. The proud owner of a power-packed, super-duper Monza, he wants to go TAC from Laredo. This German speaking athlete plans to be a bachelor for the rest of his life unless he meets a marriage-minded fraulein.

Richard lohn Schoof

Dick, the one armed bruiser from Detroit, has been one of Fightin' Fourth's traditional rocks. But he didn't count on meeting the little chipper, Joyce. He has excelled in football for the last four years and given leadership to intramural teams. Dick demonstrated an appreciation for his economics instruction when he joined the "Frugal Few" who bought Monza's. During four years of competition this industrious footballer was seldom upset by opposing lines; but where some of the nation's fiercest linemen failed, our own academic departments attempted to win. Not to be outdone, Dick donned his specs and went into the end zone standing up.

Clinton Walter Seari

Clint hails from Wilmington, Delaware, and is probably best known for his roseyred cheeks. A pleasant and humorous person to know, Clint has interests in arts, literature and music as well as bull fighting and sports cars.

He's easy to get along with as long as he gets his sleep and averages well over 8 hours without counting the afternoon naps! On the academic side, Clint specializes in Aeronautical Engineering which shouldstand him in good stead since he plans to be a fighter pilot.

Richard Henry Sell

Dick came to the Academy soon after graduation from Roosevelt High School, Monticello, Indiana. Having lived year 'round on a lake near a summer resort, the 'Russian Bear' likes to water ski, swim, canoe, and camp. Other interests include a great affinity for blondes, a liking of warm weather in which to drive his 'Red Razor' (a Sunbeam Alpine), and a desire to fly with TAC and see the world. Once on the verge of engagement, the 'Bear' now shies away from attachments—he hopes to remain a bachelor fighter pilot for several years. Good luck!

David Alexander Sellers

Dave Sellers is another one of those happy-go-lucky Cranwell escorts. In between Class Ill's and Astro, Dave really enjoyed his stay at old USAFA. His somewhat optimistic view of life made him an unusual but very interesting person with whom to associate. His outstanding academic and athletic ability was more than an asset to 13th Sqdn. As a Rhodes Scholar candidate and President of the Judo Club for one year, Dave deserved the right to be optimistic.

Donald William Shepperd

That world famous Denver Post newsboy-made-good. Don Shepperd is long on ability but short on hair. His broad interests encompass academics, athletics, current events, flying, solo twisting and hairy leg contests. Wheatridge's loss is the Air Force's gain.

Aden Sigman

Coming in as a fourth classman, "Sig" never tried to beat the system. He just made up his own system and stuck to it for four years. Not having participated in "extra” curricular activities before coming here, he quickly found out a few of the vices of mankind. He even nicknamed himself the "slayer of women," but he never could conquer alcohol. On the fields of friendly strife, "Sig" was outstanding, especially in squash and handball. In the future, it looks like a wife and pilot training are the first two things on the agenda. Only time will tell which of the two are first.

Jerry Allen Singleton

Jerry gave up the dust storms of Oklahoma City to be greeted by the even more furious dust and gravel storms of Colorado. Since then the sooner's homestead has moved to Greeley, Colorado. Jerry's biggest problem was the two years he spent realizing that marriage wasn't really in his immediate future. He is the proud holder of a dear john from the 17th Squadron Sweetheart.

Ever since that experience, Jerry has never seriously looked at a woman twice. Jerry derives his greatest joy from just having a good time living it up and going places in his half pint Chevrolet. His big claim to fame is that he is one of the original twist experts.

Francis Kinney

A well known member of the Wing is the Southern gentleman, FK Smith, better known as "Smitty" or "FK." Smitty took his first airplane ride at the age of six months and really hasn't been the same since. After two frustrating years at Clemson, Smitty decided to give AFA a whirl and after six years of college has finally graduated. When reflecting on past experiences Smitty is bound to mention his fondness of fourth class year along with memorable moments in EE and Astro. Gazing into the future EK sees a life filled with hopes to fly a few airplanes and a life of bliss with a little girl from North of the Mason-Dixon line.

Jerry Lou Smith

When the Class of '62 rushes from the Rockies, Terry may not be the first man out because he'll be dragging the hottest Corvettes in his dependable VW, but with the accelerator on the floor we'll look back on four fruitful and "happy" years. The women all love him and his classmates rate him tops—that's why he's 6th Squadron Commander. On the PE fields he's a tiger, a leader in every respect and that ability to lead coupled with his ease at winning friends points the way to a sue* cessful future.

John Elmer

In four years at the Academy, John has made innumerable friends. His congenial attitude and realibility is bound to be an asset to him in his future career. Hailing from Pittsburgh, John intends to return east after graduation for graduate training in Astro at MIT. John intends to see how bachelor life will be for awhile, but as things stand, it might be pretty short. Besides his outstanding academic and military achievements, he has found plenty of time to aspire in other fields of endeavor to include golf, pool, and intramurals.

Smith

Donald Smith

Smitty hails from Orlando, Florida, but it took him only one ski season to convince him of the advantages of that sport and he has been an avid skier ever since, thus appreciating what Colorado has to offer. MD has been an outstanding cadet in that he has managed his duties as Squadron Commander with confidence motivating those around him. A hard worker, (Usually) "Smitty” has been able to breeze through academics and still make the Dean's List while devoting much of his time to first love—music. On "sunny" days he can be seen driving his car, Bridget around the countryside with her white top down, while wearing his FIGMOE hat and conversing with a beautiful Colorado lass. After pilot training he hopes to instruct in the T-38.

Roger Thomas

Cadet Smith, nicknamed the rabbit, is best known for his easy manner. Hs is nicknamed the rabbit not only because is fast afoot, butalso because of his quick smile. He has always been able to take things in stride, and has provided those around him with the needed life in spirit when things were going rough. Taking things in stride also applies to his love life. His rock like attitude of finding, dating, and forgetting will be the cause of his unattached departure from the Rockies in June. However, this won't last for long, and he has an emergency engagement ring ready for when the time comes. Oklahoma girls beware, his records show a long string of broken hearts.

Richard Neale Smull

Maryland born, Virginia bred, this Easterner came West to put in his first four years of thirty or so. Side horse jockeying takes up almost every afternoon and weekends find him and his maroon Corvette somewhere on the road or at least close to the road. Shortly after he got here, Dick's nickname was contorted to Smurph? You should wish such a name on your kid! For the immediate future, Smurph looks toward pilot training at Webb AFB with its T-38's and afterwards a study of psychology, be it vacation or avocation. For the more distant furture—a basset hound, a fireplace, a house on a hill, and a girl with a cool head and a warm heart.

Warren Deland Snyder

Warren is a true to life cowboy who hails from Lander, Wyoming. He has the true spirit of adventure and plans to spend his honeymoon 196? in the mountains around Jackson Hole. Since coming to the Academy, Warren has discovered snow worshipping in the form of skiing and can be seen on the slopes almost every Sunday. Transportation is no longer a problem, since Warren has a 1962 Pontiac "Cat." He will soon be swapping this machine for a more high performance kind, namely the Talen at Webb. He has a good future ahead of himand should be a valuable asset to the Air Force.

Edward Lee Spicer

A jug of wine, a good book, and progressive sounds—this is the bon vie for Ed. Philosophical and serious, 11th Squadron's ethics rep is another weekend commuter to Denver. His "anthracite" Volkswagen is often seen in the Loveland Pass ski area, where he finds great pleasure in the solitudes of the snowy peaks. Fantically professional, Ed is a member of AFA's airborn contingent and career orientated. He plans to tour Mexico with his June bride during his graduation leave. His confident air and an ability to inspire men will provide the Air Force with a fine officer.

Ralph Merle Spory, Jr.

Ralph, more affectionately known as Huck, came to the Air Force Academy thinking only of flying, parades, sports, and blue uniforms. Boy, was he surprised when September came around! However, he took it in stride and his name appeared on the Dean's List several times. Ralph had many favorites during his stay here ineluding: white Impala convertibles, double manhattens, and frequent trips to the CC campus. After graduation Huck is looking forward to pilot training and perhaps thence to helicopters. See you in Air Rescue Service?

Roy William Stafford, Jr.

At the tender age of 17, Roy decided that the rest of the Californians could safely hold back the Pacific for a while and journeyed into the interior. He arrived at Aluminum U full of vip and never let up. Following the advice of George Washington, he formed no entagling foreign alliances (i.e., girls.) but did manage to give an occasional damsel a break. He devoted his time to numerous activities, most of them out-of-doors, and exasperated people with the way he maximized his grades with minimum effort. Roy is waiting for grad school, an XKE Jaquar, and the right girl, whichever is sooner.

Robert Lee Staib

Coming to Pittsburg Plate University from the windy city, the Stub was well suited to our breezy climate. Back in the brown shoe days he wasn't noted for his academic prowess but rather for his athletic ability. Since he quit playing football however, he has realized more and more of his academic potential every semester. His deep religious conviction and sincerity, combined with his native intelligence and drive have made him a man to reckon with in the classroom as well as in a bull session and on the fields of friendly strife. By his own definition he is a "rock" but those of us who know give him at least six months of freedom before he trades that Corvette in on a doll.

Edward Joseph Stanton

E.J., also known as the C of P, escaped to AFA as a refugee from Texas A & M. A naturalized Ft. Worthian, originally from the Show Me state, he has retained his warm Texas sense of-humor which will always stand him in good stead. Although a staunch member of the BOPA, E.J. can usually be found on week-ends cruising top-down in his new convertible, engaged in his relentless quest for the perfect redhead. Other pastimes include crushing sleepies in the pad and watching "cops and wops" while armed to the teeth with a bottle opener in eachhand. Pilot training and a European assignment are Ed's primary objectives after graduation from the Aluminum Monastery.

Jon Robert Staples

Jon hails from Arlington, Virginia but he's done so well here that he'll probably never go back. He's the 14th Squadron's varsity "jock," being sort of a permanent fixture on the athletic fields. He was afflicted with a terrible case of "car fever" as a 2nd classman and went through a series of cars aiming eventually towards an A-Healey. But by the time he became a 1st classman he settled down to a "safe and sane" Monza. Being a man among men, Jon is naturally headed towards pilot training and fighters. Judging from just experience, Jon will probably excel at this too.

John Leonard Starkey, Jr.

Jack Starkey is a charter member of the Century Club. In fact he marched 375 before the graces of the good King finally reached his dungeon. Nevertheless, he stuck with it in true New Englander tradition. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Jack received his appointment from Florida where his parents moved in 1952. Strictly old-fashioned in his views, he intends to spend his Air Force life "either flying, flying, or flying."

Leonard Svitenko

Len was one of our fearless cheerleaders who helped the Falcons through a not overly successful but surely determined season. August will find both he and twin Lou at Reese AFB where they will continue to baffle both friend and instructor. His ever present smile will be seen through the canopy of a T-37 as he diligently strives to become a terror of the airways. The winds carry no rumor of wedding bells but many good men have fallen into that magical institution quite suddenly while passing the long summer.

lohn Cottam

Lewis Christopher Svitenko

Lew hails from West Springfield, Mass., and since he has been at the Academy has made quite a name for himself (good or bad is still to be decided). "The Rock," as he is affectionately called, vows he won't get married, at least before June. Lew's friendly disposition has gained him many lasting friends at USAFA and surrounding area, as evidenced by all the broken hearts. His prowess with the "sticks" is well known and well appredated, especially by the gold coach, who hasn't quite realized his great potential. Lew's next stop will be Reese Air Force Base, watch out all you lovely girls in Texas. And if Lew's accomplishments at USAFA, including passing, are any indication, watch out Air Force, he might still make it!

Swonson, Jr.

"Big Jack" from Salt Lake City entered the Academy with a smile and a competitive spirit. In the ensuing four years he lost neither. Whether in the classroom or on the golf course, his fierce determination made him tops. His pleasing personality won him many friends also. A member of the elite Fourth Group bridge club, Jack found time for many non-academic pursuits, the most important of which is a weekly trip to Denver. Tops in everything at the Academy, he is ready to tackle the Air Force.

Robert Lee Taylor

"... a gentleman and a scholar." These few words do not fully describe Bob's true character. He likes to forget about the "scholar" aspect of life during the weekends when he heads for more northern campuses for other activities. This frustrated scholar has formed an entangling alliance with one of the SCU belles. Consequently Bob will be taking a wife along with his Valiant when he heads south for pilot training. After spending four years of fun-in-the-sun at USAFA, Bob feels that he is fully ready to join the Rush from the Rockies and show the world his talents.

Ronnie Gene Taylor

Out of the wilds of Oklahoma, Ron came to the Air Force along with his big black stetson. This "Okie” was a loss to the ROTC unit at Oklahoma University but their loss was our gain. A mild mannered guy with a tremendous personality and a reputation for always lending a hand where he could. He likes to make like a "rock," but some little gal will fence his range, and the bet is that he won't last too long after June. Ron is headed, ironically enough, back to Oklahoma after graduation to attend pilot training at Vance. Reckon some guys just don't get enough!

George Mersereau Thompson

Tom came to the Air Force Academy after spending one year at MIT. He originally came from Kansas City, but now claims Santa Fe as home. Tom has done extremely well during the past four years as his record will attest—and, I might add, has done about as little studying as any man in the Wing! You can always find him skiing, playing bridge, attending Cadet Forum meetings, or some such activity as far from the academic system as he can get. Future plans for Tom include marriage soon after graduation, pilot training at Williams AFB, and a desire to return to post graduate study in the field of Public Affairs at some future date.

Charles Douglass Tice

"Doug” hails from a small town that no one has ever heard of—Chester, N.Y. He wowed the girls at home but had to come all the way out west to Colorado to find his true love, the "Go Kart," a little white MG with spoked wheels.

Doug was not one of the original members of 17th clan but with his capacity for making friends he soon became one of the group that "we couldn't have a party without."

Doug is heading for Texas to learn the dashing art of being a fighter pilot. Reese AFB offered him a slot and he accepted. Let's hope he can navigate better in Texas than in Northern Colorado.

Douglas

Michael Ray Tietge

Tieg came to the Rockies from a high school in Wisconsin. Even though academies almost consumed him his fourth class year, he decided early in his career that his major was to graduate—and somehow he made it! His three hobbies were football, airline stewardesses (one in particular), and days away from the Academy. His future plans include flying training, TAC, staying out of serious trouble, and someday returning to USAFA as Dean of Faculty (4.0 for everyone).

Martin Tocado

Hailing from Reckley, West Virginia, Doug came to Aluminum U. as an old man and leaves a much older one. Having been misguided in his youth, he tried a year at Canoe U. and found the salt spray to his disliking. After a few years of partying at a civilian institute Doug finally saw the light and came west to the beautiful Ramparts. While a Cadet Doug truly became a respected member of the class. His earnest pursuit of knowledge in the Social Sciences (dancing, drinking, and driving) will see him graduate with a major in this field. Doug will always be remembered for his great performances in Intramural Wing Championships—as a referee.

George Jordan Toffel

George, "the animal" Toffel is a member of an old Southern aristrocracy (farmers). Hailing from the rollicking town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, this 210 pound behomoth came North with his carpet bag and proceeded to take Colorado by storm. (One must mention that he brought his "wiggles" with him and "they" took the North by storm.) George believes in the old cliche "variety is spice." A real easy going fellow except when "aroused" animal is one of the best liked fellows in the squadron. Since his Northern excursion he's traded white lightning on the patio for scotch on the rocks anywhere. With true discretion, George, the gormand is particular about what he eats.

Troy Ned Tomlin

Sometimes referred to as "Dynamite" (because of his initials, TNT) Troy officially hails from greater metropolitan Pilot Point, Texas. However, due to that unbreakable tie between the sexes, Troy claims that he is a misplaced Californian. The Princess and future wife of his life resides in San Francisco. When he is not cutting classes to see his intended, Troy finds time to see his duties as Group Commander, play handball, and occasionally live up to his reputation as "Super Skier."

Troy has finally squeezed his four year engineering course into six years with only one serious fault, a speech impediment sometimes referred to as a Pilot Point accent.

David Timothy Travis

The volume of his fan mail from female correspondents is rivaled onlyby Rock Hudson. This is undoubtedly due to his magnetic and friendly personality. Tim's long hard battle with theDean reflects determination in his character. While growing up in Fair Haven, Tim developed a love for the sea. This love will help Tim as he plans to pursue a career in the Navy, specializing in anti-submarine warfare and oceanography. A dynamic leader, Tim should have no trouble wherever he goes.

Ronald Clinton Tubbs

"Let me have wisdom, Beauty, wisdom and passion Bread to ihe soul, rain where the summers parch," (John

Mansfield)

After four years of college with a major in math and a commission as a 2nd Lt., Ron decided to become a professional student and enter USAFA. Easy going Ron is known as the "old man of 8th." His interests lie with his TR-3, a little skiing, and playing the role of the confirmed bachelor—until June approached when he suddenly became unconfirmed. Laredo after graduation, Ron ends his career as a student, or does he?

Nathan Goodwin Tupper

Nate comes from Cranton, Conn., home of the Coast Guard Academy—sad. Always ready with a good word or better yet, a good yank, Nate used his sharp mind to attain excellent grades and an assignment to graduate school. He showed his quick reflexes and athletic ability by winning the Wing judo title as a Doolie. With Nate's marriage to his local sweetheart, Pauline, Society will marvel at all the little "greaseballs" running around. Nate is needed by the Air Force and most surely will do an outstanding job in the service.

Charles Lee

He was interested in entering a service academy since the seventh grade. The Air Force Academy was decided upon while a senior in high school. His father is a retired coast guard warrant officer so the service has always been his life. Since coming to the Academy he has grown to definitely prefer the West and particularly Colorado. Pilot training is his one immediate goal. After pilot training comes what seems best at the time, preferably ATC or TAC. Right now his most agreeable female is his TR-3 (the Bug). He hopes to graduate with a major in Engineering Sciences and continue college training at some time in the future.

Turner

Frank Richard Urban

If Hugh Hefner of Playboy, Inc. ever needs a liaison officer in the USAF, "Croat" Urban will be the man for the job. "Penthouse Party at 888" was the magic phrase for Frank, as it was for many cadets and their ladies. When Frank wasn't running a party or playing lacrosse, his new convert got a lot of his attention. Never to go slow or stay in one place for very long, Frank is ready to fly fighters for TAC after pilot training.

Bradley Van Sant

Academic prowess was not Brad's main strength. In fact, he was amusingly known as "The English Major." Many will never consider him a great studentof Shakespeare, but some of his navigating buddies have heard strains of Hamlet emanating from his lead radar position on long navigation flights. Five years at the glass monastery never daunted the "Sant's" ability to have a good word for all. Leaving the Academy with a Navigator's rating and a school-marm wife, Brad plans to work hard in the Air Force.

David Kirk Vaughan

The Old Philosopher from Oscoda, Michigan, often affectionately referred to as "Uncle," has been a big morale factor in Fightin Fourth. With his Humanities Major and Beethoven sweatshirt he spread an appreciation for the finer things in life— sleeping, privileges, and sleeping—among his compatriots, as well as lending his talents to the notorious Cadet Dance Band. He hopes to keep his Hawk, the poor man's sports car, in good running shape for the next 10 years. After Webb's T-38's, he looks forward to TAC's bachelor life.

Henry Viccellio, Jr.

Butch, known to some as a thyroid case (6'5"), claims to be a Texan although his accent has disappeared somewhere in his journeys as an Air Force brat. Butch, being an Academy Rhodes Scholarship candidate, has never had tosweat academics; therefore he has logged an enviable amount of sack time punctuated with frequent jaunts to the T.V. room for his favorite detective serials. With his ability to aspire to record heights at the Academy, he should have no trouble making a career for himself in the Air Force. His future plans include folding himself into the cockpit of a T-38 and eventually, back to graduate schools.

Donald David Watson

The most casual character in a casual squadron is Don Watson. An ardent skiing enthusiast, all he asks is a goodslope and a fast sports car to get there (he already has this). "Wats" likes his beer—a carryover from his home town days in Tripoli, Wisconsin. He wants to fly high, fast, and single, and finish the beer he left at the "Eggshell" in Berlin; hence, his driving ambition is to be a bachelor pilot flying fighters for TAC in Europe.

Herbert Joseph Weatherhead

The "Old Man" is best noted for his perseverence in seeking his gold bars. After suffering for one year at West Point, Herb saw the light and entered the A.F. After several months of aviation cadets, the thirst for knowledge got the best of him and he entered the Academy. Since that time he is noted for his ability to pass with the minimum of effort. With his departure from the AFA there will be a vacant spot in the hostess' office and a full coffee pot. On weekends when he is not on academic probation Herb can be found socializing with the boys, girls and a bottle of good Scotch.

Austin Clark Wedemeyer

During the course of four years "Weed's" exploits on the track and crosscountry teams have been many. He is indeed one of the finest distance runners the Academy has ever hadand Atlantic, Iowa should be proud of him.

"Weed" is one of the "old men" in the wing in age only. He prides himself in being young and frisky. His main likes are track and cross-country, girls, and traveling in Europe.

What faces "Weed" in the future is still unknown but whatever it is one can rest assured that he will attack it with vigor and determination.

Robert Harrison Weight

Otherwise known as "good old Bob," Felse, or Foit, Bob has many interests.

Among his interests are: Porche sports cars, skiing, girls and Aerodynamics. Bob will be going on to a life of relaxation, and wealth immediately after graduation.

In other words, he will obtain his Master's Degree in Aeronautics. His interest in Aero was greatly influenced by his optimum aerodynamically shaped cranial container.

Bob is an intelligent and industrious student, and is bound to be a credit to the Air Force in any field of endeavor. He has a warmth that gives him the capability of making friends surpassed by few if any.

David Clifford Westhorp

After migrating from Rhode Island, Dave found the Wild West to his liking. Although he devoted most of his free time to such favorite activities as photography, firing for the pistol team, where he earned an All American nomination, and investing in wild business schemes, Davenevertheless amazed his academic professors by remaining on the Dean's List with a minimum of effort. After leaving a string of broken hearts behind him in the USA and Europe, Dave fell prey to a very charming lass from Chicago. Come the summer Dave will be on the road to Arizona and pilot training with his bride, his house-trailer, and his Sprite.

Edd Dudley Wheeler

Relinquishing his Confederate sympathies, Edd decided to trek westward from Macon, Georgia and lend his talents to the Union for a while. Finding his abilities more suited for activities outside the classroom, he devoted his time culturing physical prowess on the fields of friendly strife. Though he did find time to handle the position of First Group Operations Officer during firstclass year. This part-time poet, adventurer, and frustrated scholar hopes to join TAC via Moody AFB. When last seen, "Tiger" was headed for that direction—quick wit, fiery spirit and heartseeking red TR, intact.

Richard Clark

Wheeler

Bones came to the AFA from the state of Washington, one of many homes, directly from high school. His athletic ability, academic prowess, and desire to succeed soon overcame his lack of experience. During four years at the Academy Bones distinguished himself as a fiery competitor in intramurals, a member of the Supt's List, at times, and Squadron Commander of Twentieth Squadron.

Come graduation, Bones plans a jaunt to Europe and a certain young lady in Germany, followed by Pilot Training in August.

David Stewart Whitman

"Good old Dave" departs for pilot training at Moody AFB with several academy records to his credit. Who else can claim command spade wings in both bridge and hearts? Or the shortest time to depart on privileges, most efficient use of privileges, and fastest time returning (Reference: Colorado State Highway Patrol). But Dave was always ready to get back to work Sunday evening after a weekend leave. His name would be first on the missing meals list, the new weekend leave request would be submitted, and Dave would be in the pad building strength for another week's duties.

Notwithstanding the above achievements, Dave will be remembered best as the Redtag with the quick laugh.

James Monroe Whitted

Jim, affectionately or otherwise called "Dim'" by his classmates, would seem to live up to his nickname if you did not realize that his philosophy of life was never to let the little (or the big) things bother him. This he applied to academics and it wasn't until his last semester here that he finally broke down and excelled. The transplanted Rebel could frequently be found with his feet holding down his deskand his fingers caressing a cigar thinking of new ways to beat the regs or "dreaming of Jeannie with the dark brown hair." Liking always to be on the move, Jim welcomes the change from a "slip stick" and "Rocky Mountain Blue" to a control stick and Shade 84.

Walter Anderson Wicklein

Known around as "Wick" he came to the "red tags" straight out of high school. Having managed to stay pro in his battle with academics without too much interference with extra curricular activities he can be seen taking jaunts to C-Springs or "Big D" every week in a green TD, usually with the top down. He will be seen reporting to Shepard AFB in August in a Corvette. He also can be seen daily praying for pro pay to finance his future activities. The future holds a career in missiles and possibly marriage in the near future.

Michael Ray Williams

Mike, once dubbed the "Mighty Right" by a visiting southern belle, probably has been the cause of more broken hearts among the local scheming female set than any other cadet. He came to the Wing from Ft. Worth, Texas, after a year with the Phi Gams at that suburban Texas institution, Oklahoma University. His stay here has pointed up his qualities as a professional military man, student, and athlete.

His plans, after returning from his well earned jog around the globe, are to go to pilot training at Laughlin by the sea, and eventually into the lowest, fastest, flying thing around.

Richard Arthur Williams

Tall, lean fellow who migrated from L.A. in '58 to spend, four, carefree, happy years at A.F.A. Drives a hot "snow-plow" Chevy, and spends his free time with the local female populace. "Sweats" every program he gets into, although he seems to be able to read a book a night and get 10 hours in the sack. Got his nickname from some kind of a dog.

Glen David Wilson

Glen, whose home is presently Fayetteville, Arkansas, studied electrical engineering for two years at the University of Arkansas before coming to the Air Force Academy. During the past four years his serious attitude, devotion, and understanding have been a help to anyone associated with him. Glen has earned a Major in the Engineering Sciences at the Academy, and he is on the Dean's List. Glen, now a proud Corvette owner, plans to spend the next year in Lubbock, Texas. Graduate school will follow about five years in MATS or ATC. Glen's greatest aspiration is to become a unit commander and eventually, he shall.

Gordon Scott Wilson

Gordon will be remembered by most of his Red Tag classmates for his ability to find lovely young damsels. His stay at the Academy was blessed with the comradeship of many of these and we are sure that one day soon he will meet one lovely to marry and fall victim to that game called marriage. He will arrive at Williams AFB, Arizona for pilot training late in August.

Muile Adrian

Murle left Ohio State with two years under his belt to start anew at the AFA. Although he made the wrong Dean's List, he sure set fire to the athletic and military training as an outstanding fencer and a regular on the Commandant's List. He is a long-tall one, but his personality casts even a longer shadow. Murle never pretended to be a rock; he was true blue all the way. If Kathy can get him away from his epee and to a church this summer, they will start married life at Reese AFB, Texas.

Edward Wilson

Throughout his four years at the Academy, the pride of Gibralter could usually be found sleeping or losing something. He will long be remembered as "Mr. Nickname," having established an all time record while acquiring such gems as— 'Walls,' 'Floors,' 'Luscious,' and the unforgettable—'Booboo.' His quest for names was only equalled by his desire to play football and to make sweet sounds on his violin. The future holds marriage and then pilot training. Success in pilot training is a sure bet and we can probably safely say the same for marriage, but—the boys in 13th will only say—Good Luck Kay!!!

Wilson

Powell

Known as either "D.P." or "Woody," he is one of the senior members of theclass. He attended Fresno State College in California before enlisting in the Air Force then enjoyed going to classes at the University of Hawaii while on duty in that paradise in the Pacific. Although not an academic standout, he is not known for being excessively hard on books either: a confirmed believer in all theories of curve riding. He carries away with him many fond memories of his time here and a red Corvette.

Vern Milton Wood

If there is any such thing as a softspoken Texan, then "Woodrow" would probably be classed as one (soft-spoken Texan that is). Coming to the Academy from Longview, Texas, he spent his fouryear term equipped with a quick smile (fastest in the West) and an ability to get along with everyone. His fondness for athletics in general, and weight lifting in particular, would make this boy a standout on Muscle Beach, although the opportunities have been rather few. After graduation, this, one of Tenth Squadron's not-so-rugged rugby rumblers, will head his black MG to the south in search of Southern women, possibly Muscle Beach, and eventually, Vance AFB for pilot training.

Clifton Eugene Woodworth

In the summer of 1958, "Woody" ascended from the hills of New York (Alfred Station specifically) to the higher hills of the ramparts to become a real outgoing citizen of the AFA community. So outgoing, in fact, that he has continually supplied the squadron with both cokes and cigarettes for the past two years. "Hymie," now having a '62 Lark Daytona and a liking for "boilermakers," is ready to leave his home in the Rockies for the flat plains of Oklahoma and pilot training. To make this happy guy complete, he now lacks only one thing more—and he hopes she'll be living close to Enid.

Leonard Louis Wright, Jr.

Bo is a native Texan from Abernathy, Texas, "the cultural hub of the world." Here he made a fortune in the newspaper business, as well as a good name in high school, both athletically and academically. However, in 1958 he gave up his fame and sporty convertible to enter USAFA—with a reduction in pay. During the time he and the English Department were arguing as to where he would spend his summer leave, his parents moved to balmy Houston, his present home. Bo, his Corvette, and his true love journey to Reese AFB after graduation where he plans to graduate at least first in his class, and offer his services to TAC.

Allan Russell Wylie

After departing from Danvers, Massachusetts to seek fame in a blue uniform, A1 proceeded to take just about every science course offered at USAFA. He's another of those who met his love in the locale and bets are being taken as to when he will take the "fatal step"; his second love (a blue TR 3) will serve him well at North Carolina State University while he seeks his Master's (rough life!). Noted for wearing probably the longest sabre in his class, he was never one to be beaten in a walking race. Good luck at the books, Al, and "Carolyna" (SIC) beware!

Gerard Thomas Young

Tom gave up Nutria hunting in the Louisiana bayous to come to the Academy, and has spent the last four years hunting for bargains. Tom has one attribute that anyone who knows him will be guick to affirm. He collects things. If he wasn't collecting muscles,books, guns, arrows or form 10's, he was collecting cars. Not one to collect just any car, Tom collected Jaguars. And, little known fact, Tom has perfected a superior mouse-trap. Come June we expect to see Tom, a Jaguar, and a New Orleans Mouse head for pilot training.

Joseph Raymon Zaleski

"Ole Fat Joe" came to AFASU from the depths of a coal mine in Morgantown, West Virginia. He has compiled a fine record here except for his posture problem which stems from the fact that his knuckles drag on the ground.

His high academic record is a result of the vast store of wisdom hidden in the wrinkles on the back of his head.

His loves are wrassle-fightin, girls, beer, and his red refrigerator on wheels otherwise known as an M.G.

Jo-Jo is going to attend electronics school at Keesler A.F.B. in the deep south. Due to his undying love for the Academy and the Air Force, we know he will excel in all fields of endeavor.

1963 trips to “far away places ”

To celebrate the "halfway" mark we went aboard. The "Golden Boys" were spread from the southern tips of South America to the northern countries of Europe. For the first time a group of cadets went "south of the border" and the trip proved very interesting. The remainder of the class went to northern and southern Europe. The times spent on these trips will always be a subject of conversation for all concerned.

iThe trips were not designed solely for enjoyment and we were given the chance to see how our and our Allies' forces worked to protect the free world. We visited SHAPE, the West German Air Force, the British Air Force, and the Air Force of each of the South American countries. The briefings and views that we were subjected to gave us a fair idea of the potential of the Free World.

International intramurals.

The hospitality abroad is wonderful but one can never look down on "good old southern hospitality" as we witnessed on our trip to Dallas. The entire class went by train to "Big D" for the AFA-SMU football game. Many of us stayed with families in the Dallas area and received such welcomes as become Kings. We had only praise for the wonderful people of Texas. We assumed some responsibility and then waited for the end of the "Red Tags" and the beginning of the "Golden Age."

Zke Class of began its upper class career with

On 3 June 1961,- the Class of 1964 was recognized, thus regaining the status of human beings. Recognition started off June Week, and the erstwhile ''doolies'' found themselves wrapped in a bewildering whirl of social activities, climaxed by the air garden "baptism" of the graduating firsties.

After June Week, '64 took off on the ZI Field Trip. Flying low, slow, and comfortable in C-124's, the class visited George AFB, Hamilton AFB, Wright-Pcrtterson AFB, Tinker AFB, Plattsburgh AFB, and Pease AFB, not to mention a five-day Pacific cruise with the Navy and a four-day hitch with the Army at Fort Benning, which some cadets liked so well that they returned during leave for Airborne Training. After 34 days and 5000 miles, the trip came to an end, and '64 departed on the first leave in a long, long year.

On 17 August, the Wing reluctantly returned, and after the maelstrom of Integration, settled down under a pall of academies. There were new experiences in store for the new Third Classmen, in the form of physics, foreign languages, and psychology. On December 20th, '64 heaved a sigh of relief and joined the exodus ofthose who would spend Christmas and the last days of 1961 at home.

Four blurry days after the start of 1962, '64 again squared off against the academic departments, and the old routine quickly re-established itself. There were many breaks in the monotony of the "Dark Ages," however, in the form of ski trips, Farish parties, and other squadron activities.

Sports, too, were important in Cadet life. The Regis game was a complete Air Force victory, with the Falcons carrying the day on the scoreboard and a member of '64 winning the halftime twist contest.

Spring Leave provided a welcome four-day break in early March, and the increasing privileges paralleling increasing acceptance of responsibility were welcomed by all.

During the Spring semester, '64 got its first chance to excel in the Graduate Record exams, and is now eagerly waiting to discover its margin of victory over preceding classes.

As springtime finally dawned over the Rockies, '64 indulged in the traditional activities of sunbathing on "USAFA Beach" and administering a pre-recogntion "Hell Week" to the "Doolies."

After a tense bout with finals, June Week returned again to the "Aluminum Palace." On June 6th, '64 closed out its Third Class year eagerly anticipating Leave, Third Lieutenant, and the Overseas Field Trips.

The class of 1965 entered the Academy on the 26th of June, 1962, full of hopes, dreams, and a few apprehensions. After the initial shock had worn off, and those with stars in their eyes had been brought back to earth, '65 began applying itself to the tasks ahead. Seven weeks of summer training, ineluding physical conditioning, M-l and .38 pistol instruction, drill, and other necessary evils, were climaxed by a six day survival exercise in the mountains of the Rampart Range. Consisting of several days of a static camp learning the ways of nature, and a rugged 20 mile hike through the mountains, all on the meagerest of rations, this exercise proved very valuable in instilling confidence and self-reliance.

The endof summer training signalled a memorable day in the lives of '65. They were accepted into the Wing of Cadets of the United States Air Force Academy and were integrated into their permanent Squadrons. Wearing their new shoulder boards, they now faced an even greater challenge than they had encountered all summer. During the next few months each new Cadet would be pushed to his intellectual limit by the many and varied subjects presented by the Academic Department.

now pop about six buttons off that shirt!

The DA: Uncle Sugar’s extreme dislike

trying, rewarding

After a very trying first semester, a welcome break was found in the Christmas Holidays. With the upper three classes home on leave, '65 assumed the responsibility of running the academy for a wonderful two weeks.For the first time they began to get acquainted with the rest of their classmates.

Many fortunate Cadets had their parents and girl friends out to see them; a busy whirl of activities was planned especially for the cadet and the folks from home. Dances, tree trimmings, parties, skiing, and buffets provided a good time for all concerned.

Unfortunately, the time passed altogether too quickly, and "big Brother" was once again back at the Academy and reigned supreme. Carrying memories of Christmas with them, the Class of '65 again assaulted the Academic Department with the new year a mere four days old.

Intramurals provided a good chance for the Cadets to let off a little steam during the coming months, popularly known as the "Dark Ages." Boxing, wrestling, handball, squash, and water polo were the sports offered and gave every "doolie" a chance to experience the thrill of competition and to prove himself to the other membersof his squadron.

Up and over.

The final obstacle

Flight indoctrinations were terrific!

Field day: summer training had finally ended.

August, integration to the Wing of Cadets, and

In the spring the class of 1965 found themselves the center of a new four year concept of training in the Cadet Wing. Possessing more privileges and responsibilities than any previous class hadhad at a similar time, the Class of '65 attempted to prove that the confidence placed in them by officers and upperclassmen was justified.

As the end of the year approached, the "doolies" found themselves more and more occupied with thoughts of home. If he had been one of the lucky ones and escaped the "Dear John," he could look forward to seeing his old "steady." If not, there were plenty of innocent young things he could feel confident of "snowing" with the experience of his "doolie year" behind him.

Hell Week came and went, leaving '65 tired, sore, and very happy now that the last obstacle had been conquered. On Saturday, May 19, they were recognized as upperclassmen and put on the prized "prop and wings" insignia, signifying this fact. It had been a long, hard year, and as the members of his squadron gathered around him, shaking hands and congratulating him, he felt a certain kinship with his classmates, as if they had been through a war together, and was glad that he was a member of '65, "Best Alive."

June Week 1962 began as usual with the Athletic Awards Banquet on Friday evening, but there were records and achievements of an athletic year to look back upon that were a far cry from usual. Master of ceremonies. Col. M. L. Martin, Director of Athletics, pointed with pride to the overall record, 123 wins against 59 losses, that the Academy's fifteen varsity teams achieved during the 61-62 academic year. To go with this .676 winning percentage, Col. Martin also noted, the Academy boasted four All-Americans in gymnist Jim Weaver, fencer Gary Forrest, wrestler Terry Isaacson, andmarksman Mike Povilus.

Announcement was made of the winning squadrons in intramural competition and varsity sports participation, the two awards going to Thirteenth and Seventh Squadrons respectively. The presentation of various individual awards for outstanding performances by Academy athletics during the season was climaxed by General Stone's presentation of the Athletic Association award to John Fer as the cadet contributing most to intercollegiate program. Mr. Jim Conzelman, former professional football player and coach and currently a member of the Board of Directors of the St. Louis Cardinals, delivered the main address, emphasizing the value of athletics to a man's life.

By custom, June Week always begins on a Friday and ends with graduation on the following Wednesday. Regardless of which date a particular June Week event occurs, one may speak of the event as coming on Saturday, placing the event on the second day of the big Week, and Saturday, June Week 1962, saw the Wing of Cadets in the Organizational Awards Parade. These awards honor the top squadrons in drill competition, varsity sports, intramural sports and academies. The squadrons which finally ended up on top of the heap in these particular categories after some races to the wire were Twenty-second, Seventh, and Thirteenth for the latter two respectively.

By Saturday also, nearly all parents, girl friends, andrelafives have arrived and are temporarily settled for the Week. There are moments to talk about some trying time during the past year, to look over the Academy during Open House, to show parents and friends things about the Academy and its way of life that up until then have passed only in letters. But there is no relaxation, and soon the guests of each cadet are caught up in the frantic pace of this parade, that presentation and so on.

With Sunday there came Baccalaureate services and possibly a chance to see a little of local Colorado, the planetarium showing or the Academy Band Concert.

Monday, with the week in high gear now, brought the Superintendent's Reception for the Class of 1962 and its guests, affording parents of the graduating class the opportunity to exchange a few words with the Academy general officers and with each other.

To further complete the day's acitvities, a parade and rereview followed by the Individual Awards Ceremony took place. Twenty-eight members ofthe Class of '62 shared thirtyfive awards, with Cadet Peter D. Robinson taking top honors. Dusk of the same day brought the highlight of the year for '63 with their Ring Dinning-In, presentation, and formal.

Tuesday and Wednesday were all '62's, however, as they brought the graduation parade with a sterling Thunderbirds performance and fly-by, the graduation buffet and formal, and the climax of the entire week, the graduation ceremony.

Rain, Bruins, soak falcons 19-6

This year the UCLA game started in the traditional downpour. The rain, the Uclan line and a man named Bobby Lee Smith all combined to hand the soggy cadets a 19 to 6 defeat.

The UCLA line, averaging 10 pounds per man heavier than the Falcons, battered holes through which the Uclan backfield sprinted with ease. Smith accounted for all three of the Bears' touchdowns on rims of 60, 2 and 4 yards.

The Falcons' only score came in the final quarter, after a stout defense gave them possession deep in Bruin territory, Fullback Nick Arshinkoff driving the final eleven yards for the score.

The blue wave stops short a Bear gain.

Falcons boot out of trouble.

Wildcats upset 3aIcons 14-12.

The Kansas State Wildcats provided a rude shock for the host Falcons in the form of a 14 to 12 upset.

The cadets managed to non only four plays in the first quarter, but Bob McNaughton went in as quarterback early in the second period and immediately sparked the team to a touchdown. Then Air Force scored again in the third quarter to take the lead.

However, the lead was short-lived as K-State, fresh from an upset over Indiana, proceeded to do the same in Denver. Aided by three key fumbles and a long pass, the wildcats took the game with a late rally.

Something there is that doesn’t like a Falcon in ’Cat territory.

Air force fumbles to 7-9 loss to SMU

The Cadet Wing and football team, after traveling South to partake of the wonderful hospitality of the people of Dallas, met with a disappointing loss of 9-7 to Southern Methodist.

A.F. led the Mustangs in every column, except the score, as the alert Ponies turned a fumble and a poor punt into a touchdown and a field goal.

Offensively, the Falcons moved well until reaching opponents' scoring territory throughout the game.

Yes, interesting indeed. Does he bite?

J/r Jorce takes Ciaciamtti $-6.

For the fourth game the Falcons traveled east to Cincinnati for a pleasant and much needed change of scenery. The Cadets achieved their first victory by a score of 8-6.

The Cadetsscored early in the first quarter. In attempting a one point conversion, the pass from center got away, but quick thinking Willie (the Whisp) Parma managed to retrieve the ball and pass to Dick Brown in the end zone for 2 points.

The sharp aerial defense led by McDonough, Brown, and Isaacson late in the game prevented the Bearcats from scoring and preserved the Air Force victory.

Cadets close in

Zempins smother falcons 21-0.

The Terrapins of Maryland took to the air to defeat the Falcons 21-0.

The Air Force defense proved a tough nut for the Terrapin ground game, but with the accuracy of the Terp passing, they did not need a ground game. Some timely interceptions by Maryland held the cadets to six completed passes and prevented the Falcons from scoring, while interceptions by the Cadets kept the score within reason. The Maryland defense put on a fine show, much to Falcon misery, inflicting the only shutout A.F.A. suffered during the season.

Paced by fleet-footed halfbacks

Bobby Santiago and Bobby Morgan, the Lobos of New Mexico ran to a 21-6 defeat for the Falcons. The Lobo quarterback only completed two passes, but they totalled 33 yards at critical times. The halfback combination eliminated any need for a passing attack.

The Lobos also recovered two Falcon fumbles and turned them into touchdowns.

The only bright spot for the Cadets came when Allen MeArtor entered the game with three minutes remaining and engineered a touchdown drive from his own 9 yard line.

The Falcons' second victory of the season was at the expense of C.S.U.

The Cadets drew first blood early in the second period. A 32 yard pass, on a pitch-out from McArtor to Bloodworth, who passed to Simpson, set up the score. The Falcons again came alive in the fourth period, scoring a drive on their own twelve yard line, a brilliant reception by Simpson and a pass interference call, moved the ball to the C.S.U. three, from where Terry Isaacson plunged over for the score.

The C.S.U. points came as a result of a field goal in the second period and a TD in the third. Penalties hurt the Colorado Staters especially on defense.

Jalcens edge California 15-14.

The Falcons played the best game of the season in defeating California 15-14. Having been labelled "Third rate team in a fourth rate area" by a California publication, the Falcons were determined to win at all costs.

Passes were the deciding factor in the Falcon win, for both touchdowns were set up by brilliant passing, and the game was won on a pitch-out by McNaughton to Parma for the final two points.

The Bears had a fine offense, but their two drives were not enough to keep in check the fierce determination of the men in blue.

Bears smash 9aIcons, 31-7.

Paced by Ronnie Bull, Baylor moved to a 31-7 victory over the Air Force Academy. The Falcons played good ball throughout the first half. On the opening series of the game, the Cadets took the kick-off and went 68 yards in 15 plays to score. The point after was good and the Falcons led 7-0.

TheBears then took the next series and brought it to an end in the Falcon end zone. The half ended in a 7-7 tie.

In the second half, the depth of the Bear line proved too much for the lighter Falcons. This, combined with the passing of Stanley and Trull, accounted for the next 24 of Baylor's points and the victory.

It’s hard to lose

Muffs victors in traditional rivalry 29-12.

The spirited rivalry between the University of Colorado and the Air Force Academy was a gratification to C.U. this year to the tune of a 29-12 defeat over the Cadets.

The Cadets fought gallantly during the first half. After two drives for paydirt in the first quarter, the Falcons led by a score of 12-7 until the final seconds of the first half. At this point C.U. went ahead on a gamble pass play that netted th® Buffs a touchdown.

The second half was quite a different story. Although th® Air Force Spirit was present in abundance, the heavier and deeper Buffalo line had taken its toll and the Buffs scored two more touchdowns to secure their victory.

In the individual player department, Bobby Schaller and Jim Renschen led the scoring with four goals each. Other players deserving mention were Dave Pederson, Steve Nielson, and Jack Zimmerman for their fine team and clutch play.

Against some of the toughest competition in the nation, the cross country team, led by Captain John Fer came up with the respectable record of seven wins and five losses. The cadets faced such teams as U.C.L.A., Western Michigan, S.M.U., and Oklahoma State.

Fer went on to perform individually in the California Relays. He finished fifth in the two mile race with a time of 8:52.4 and was first to finish among the college students. John also set the Navy course record this year and won the Talon "Outstanding Athlete Award," finishing his cadet career with 15 first places, 11 seconds and three thirds.

Zeam playkey to many victories

The surprising success of this year's basketball squad resulted from many factors. The lack of any outstanding individual seemed to help in that the opposition could never effectively scout and defense the continuous shuffled offense in which every man was a potential scorer. The three Seniors helped with leadership and stabilized the effort in addition to scoring and rebounding in the clutch situations. Another factor which surprised everyone was the outstanding play and hustle shown by new members of the team from the class of '64.

The team this year enjoyed a very successful year, meeting such opposition as Washington University, Nebraska, Arizona and Arizona State, Creighton, Marquette, Kansas, and Colorado State. The final regular season record with 16 wins and 6 losses. Along with Colorado University, we were ranked as the area's top team, since all local opponents had fallen in the shuffle.

Viccellio comes out boss on this rebound.

Diffendorfer at the stripe for one.

Zeam strength came from three classes

The balanced attack was spearheaded by the three Seniors; (Bob (Blitz) Schaumberg, second leading rebounder and leading scorer with the highest shooting percentage in the school history; Bill Knipp, who captained the squad and was his best in clutch situations; and Butch Viccellio, who was third in scoring and was the leading rebounder.

The second classmen who were right in the thick of things throughout the season were Roger Zoeller and Jim Diffendorfer. Some of Roger's shots were unbelievable, as any fan will agree.

Among the "Sizzling Sophomores" were Johnny Judd, Parke Hinmcm, Roger Head, Rich Porter, and John Sowers. Judd, the "Mighty Mite," as he was referred to by the local papers, came through in the latter parts of the season to give some fantastic performances and move to the second leading scorer spot.

Butch leads the fast break.

Not

as 9aIcons get wins

Wing spirit and attendance at the games improved spirit and performance not only on the team, but in the Wing itself. The halftime entertainment (Regis game) kept everyone around, and as the season progressed, the crowds broke record after record. This spirit was the reason that our team was so tough at home. In our close-packed gym in which nothing could be heard during crucial moments, such teams as Kansas, Colorado State, Regis, and Nebraska met unexpected defeat.

and everyone was impressed!

FENCING TEAM

The Academy Fencing team soared to unprecedented heights this year in establishing new records. The able swordsmen swept aside all 14 opponents and concluded their SECOND UNDEFEATED SEASON. This not only sets a new Academy record, but also brings the total consecutive team victories to 29. This is the BEST CURRENT UNDEFEATED RECORD IN THE NATION. Post-season competition put the icing on the cake with the team winning the Western Intercollegiate Fencing Conference for the FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR. In the Nationals held in Columbus, Ohio, the team was represented by one man from each weapon. As a result of his fine performance in the NCAA, Gary Forrest became the Academy's FIRST ALL-AMERICAN FENCER.

In 63 the Falcons will be challenging some of the nation's best swimmers at Army, Oklahoma, and S.M.U., but the prospects are a little brighter.

This season, "Air Force Academy - Colorado School ol Mines Traveling Trophy" returned to the Air Force Academy for the first time since its institution in 1960.

Terry Isaacson, wrestling in the 167 pound class, turned in an outstanding performance both for the team and individually. He won every match during the season; took first place in the Great Plains Tournament; second place in the Rocky Mountain AAU meet in Boulder and second in the NCAA meet in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Added to this, he was named ALL-AMERICAN, the first Academy wrestler to earn this distinction.

For the first time in 3Vz years, West Point was defeated, and the victors were men in blue. Among the team's other conquests are Texas A&M, M.I.T., University of Massachusetts, and various AFB base teams.

In the National Rifle Association Intercollegiate Pistol Matches, the AF Academy came out on top for the whole nation with a 13-1 record.

Baseball has best season ever with 19-7

Jalams Migh in NCAA

The 1962 Air Force Academy baseball team began the season with two thoughts in mind; to be the best baseball team ever produced at the Academy, and to represent the school at the NCAA playoffs.

A double-header with league-leading New Mexico U. opened the schedule, and the powerful bats of Medina, Parma, and third-baseman Staples, plus fine pitching by Wallace and Backus, enabled the Falcons to win both games. After a mediocre series on the Pacific coast, the team began to mold into a polished unit. Rocky Mountain Conference teams proved to be no match for the big Falcon bats, and the highly-touted Academy team soon sported a team batting average of over .400.

Near the season's end, it was apparent that this Falcon baseball team, with a 19-7 record, was the best ever at the Academy. The team was invited to the NCAA regional playoffs, where they reached the semifinals.

next year shows promise

Even though the varsity tennis team was somewhat handicapped this season by the loss of some of its best players, members of the Class of 1961, it still ended its competive year with seven wins and seven losses.

Next year's season should prove most fruitful due to the amount of experience gained this year by the sophomores on the team, plus the return of Cadet Ed Pickens, a second classman who played number one for the Academy this year.

The weather this season was much better than that in the past, resulting in only two matches being cancelled permanently and affording the team many days of practice. In addition, next year, for the first time in several years, the varsity tennis team will have an off-season practice session in the fall which will permit Captain Charles W. Oliver, the coach, to work out many "bugs" of individual players which could not be done during the competitive season. for the

The 1962 track team ended a successful season with a win over highly ranked Miami University.

Throughout a long indoor and outdoor season that ineluded sixteen meets, Coach Arnie Arneson's thin-clads, with few returning letter men and little outstanding talent, carried the ideals and name of USAFA to all parts of the nation. Meeting such track powers as Colorado State, Miami Uni

versity, Wisconsin University, Western Michigan, and a host of others, the team won a good share of these meets and placed near the top in the rest.

Next year, led by Captain A1 Adams, the team looks for a very successful season with the added power of many talented freshmen who have smashed nearly every Academy freshman record and have gone undefeated in five meets.

Off to a sizzling start, the team won its first eleven matches, before falling to two teams which it had previously beaten, finishing with an 11-2 record. With team Captain Jack Swonson, Roy Arnold, Norm Schulze, A1 Wolf, and Chris "Charlie" Brown forming the nucleus of Coach Ron Allen's attack, the Falcon "Playboy Squad" swamped old rival Denver University and then came on to beat Colorado State University, a feat never before accomplished by Academy golfers. Much of the credit for the team's success must go to the second line of golfers who kept constant pressure on the starters, keeping them at top form throughout the season.

football flintk Wins Again.

Though practices were limited, the coaching staff numbers but one, and many cadet huskies are playing on the varsity, intramural football was one of the highlights of the 1961-62 intramural season. Intramural footballers battled their opponents, impending darkness, and the Rocky Mountain weather each week in the fall. Observers who noted the crunching blocks, bullet passes, and the long, deep punts can attest to their success. One could hardly recognize the tired, begrimed athletes trudging in from the football fields as the bright-eyed slide rule jockeys of a few short hours ago. Ninth Squadron downed Thirteenth in a hard-fought Wing Championship contest which brought out a good crowd on a Saturday morning. The AOC's were defeated by ninth in the first annual Finger Bowl, 6-0.

In its second year, field hockey added a degree of uniqueness to the intramural program. The majority of the coaches, officials, and players learned the rules of the game for the first time. Some began the season with hesitancy caused by field hockey's prominence as a game for the fair sex. All doubt was removed, however, as field hockey proved to be a real challenge to the speed, skill, and endurance of the player. Some found that banging a hard rubber ball with a short curved stick was not as easy as it looked. Others discovered that the San Snead swing, obviously designed to drive the ball far down enemy territory, often left a bewildered swinger watching the ball roll toward his own goal. Ex-lacrosse players found the comparatively larger goals an improvement, while the goalies, decked with shin guards and chest protectors developed some premature grey hairs. 13th Squadron downed 6th for the Wing Championship. With due respect to the girls, we would pick either team to win handily over C.W.C.

All this for that little ball.

To those who played field hockey, this was the happy sign—another goal!

Soccer Zhis season differed slightly from wembly.

European football, or soccer, has found a home in the Ramparts. Those familiar with American football found that soccer offered a new challenge. One had to learn to control a ball without the use of one's hands. Dribbling past an opponent, passing to a team-mate, and driving a hard shot past the goalie were the valuable skills. One's feet and head were his primary tools.

Though regularly grinding your opponent into the sod is not a basic tenet of soccer, bone jarring collisions were not infrequent. As in most intramural sports, hustle, drive and endurance paid large dividends. 1st Squadron's 2-1 victory over 16th in the Wing Championship was indicative of the many keenly-fought contests during the season.

A knowledge of soccer allows cadets to better understand the devotion of their European counterparts to the game and, indeed, to develop for themselves a great appreciation for soccer.

First Squadron’s soccer team smiled happily after their Wing Championship victory.

Moving The strong men put on gloves.

Perhaps the most popular of all intramural sports from the spectator standpoint, boxing was a highlight of the 61-62 winter season. Four and a half minutes is ample time for a lot of leather to fly and each bout produced its share of excitement.

A stout-hearted competitor is cheered on by his own squadron-mates, and woe betide the official who places him on the short end of a split decision.

Winning 4*/2 of the 6 bouts for the Wing Championship, 14th downed 12th.

To winners and losers alike goes the respect of the Wing.

One of these times I’m bound to hit him.

Here comes that left again.

It could be worse.

I can’t stand to watch this one.

14th Squadron: these were the Kings in the Ring.

If I could only see what was going on.

Mandball

Zhe agile put on smaller gloves.

Th cadets with leather gloves, quick reflexes and strong legs found handball much to their liking during winter intramurals.

The season ended happily for 13th's handballers as they edged 4th, 2-1, taking both doubles matches.

Mastering the handball skills came after diligent practice. Since he who plays with one hand, only is rarely a consistent winner, ambidexterity became the order of the day. Team play in doubles was absolutely necessary and the pair that kept their opponents on the move and out of position piled up the winning points.

Thirteenth’s Champs.

Rohatch “planting” one on the base line.

'Doubles became a new threat.

While competition was keen, squash proved to be the gentleman's game of the winter season. Observance of the rules of squash etiquette heightened the game's appeal and made it more worthwhile for all concerned.

For the first time this year, squash doubles was introduced. The hazards inherent when four racket-wielders are busily banging a ball off four walls are apparent. Yet the doubles matches proved to be as safe, as practical, and as much fun as the singles matches.

13th Squadron trounced 5th 5-0 in the Wing Championship to take the crown for the second consecutive year.

All cadets who played intramural squash in 1961-62 found it to be a fast-paced exciting game that will serve them well in the future.

Thirteenth Squadron took this sport, too.

So

Water Polo

J\h> one drowns in season.

Amid the helter-skelter of thrashing bodies and churning water, a red-capped head brings a long arm high out of the water and propells the yellow ball into the uppermost comer of the goal, just beyond the goalie's reach. This scene, though common in intramural water polo in 1961-62, never failed to delight the scorer, his team, and the spectators.

In water polo team effort and spirit coupled with outstanding individual performance produced some lopsided decisions. Meeting in the Wing Championship, 17th and 11th had averaged over 20 goals per contest. 17th emerged vietorious by a 16-8 count.

Besides being strong swimmers, the best water polo players mastered the skills of passing, shooting, and defending. Endurance was a vital factor since very few chose willingly to rest, standing on the bottom of the seven foot deep, intramural pool. Defensemen took a gleeful pleasure in propelling an attacker toward the pool's bottom before he could shoot.

Just call me Mr. Splash.

Some of these you just can’t stop.

Playing defense never left much time for scoring a goal.

Down you go, amigo.

Wrestling Matmen grunted and groaned.

Without the benefit of grunt and groan theatrics, wrestling was a highlight of the winter intramural season.

2nd Squadron, in the Wing Championship, squeezed by 13th by a 9-6 count.

The wrestlers practiced hard and more than one ran many laps and tightended his belt to make weight.

The program gave the newcomer an excellent chance to become familiar with collegiate-style wrestling. Experience paid off. Those who lacked experience learned quickly.

Second Squadron’s team was tough on the mat.

Now if I could just snap his knee pad.

I’ll give you one point for that mess.

Maybe I could growl at him.

What a view the referees always get.

Masketball Another contact sport was developed.

The center gymnasium was a three-ring circus each afternoon this spring. With games and practice in progress on four courts, there was never a dull moment. The multi-colored jerseys, the swift action, the shouts of the players, intermingled with tooting whistles formed an unforgetable image.

In intramurals, the little basketball player was as common a sight as the big man.

22nd and 8th met in the basketball Wing Championships. 22nd emerged the victor by a 51-43 count.

Sometimes it seems as if there’s no hole in that hoop.

I forgot to blow the whistle again.

Twenty-second Squadron proved they had the talent for Champs.

jCacmse

Zhe Indians gave us a rough game.

Shades of an old Indian! Lacrosse grows more popular every year. Cadets with experience played with the lacrosse club and the intramural teams featured flocks of newcomers. The skill of cradling a hard rubber ball in a net at theend of a stick proved difficult to master. Enthusiasm was never lacking and by the end of the spring season there were many newcomers who had become battle tested veterans. A few wondered what the shoulder pads were for. That is, they wondered until the first game. Hard blocking and team effort contributed to many victories.

10th Squadron jumped off to a 1-0 lead in the Wing Championship. 13th fought back to win by a close 2-1 score.

Come to me, little ball.

That’s not nice to put your stick there.

Rugby Zke euglisk couldh ’t believe it!

Scrum? Knock-on?

Blimey, what do they mean? The cadets soon found out and enjoyed the English game to the hilt. Upsets were frequent in this rough and tumble combination of football and soccer.

USAFA types put on a creditable performance when the Royal Air Force cadets visited the Academy in the spring. Both sides got a new slant on the game.

In the Rugby Wing Championships, 5th got rolling and never stopped. 22nd found itself on the short end of a 16-3 score.

The top rugger players were in Fifth Squadron.

The ball is up there!

A ball on the head always woke a player up.

docal Point of Cadet Social

Arnold Hall.

Ballioom: you and the night and the music

jCife-, Arnold Mall

To every cadet, Arnold Hall means just one thing—social life. It is the center of the Wing's social life, and it provides almost all of the on-base pleasure and relaxation which comes in his four-year stay at the Academy.

To support its function as the "Cadet Playground," Arnold Hall is equipped with a variety of attractions. First, there is the 3000-seat Cadet Theatre with its presentations each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Then, there is the TV room for quiet relaxation with a good program, perhaps followed by a few lines of bowling at the inexpensive and well-equipped bowling alley. If there is still time, the socially-inclined cadet can continue from the bowling alley to the game room where ping pong and pool tables attract the more active players, and cards and checkers await those of the quieter type.

However, Arnold Hall is not just a resting-place for facilities; it is a center of activities. For example, Arnold Hall's spacious ballroom is the location for most of the Cadet Wing's dances, including the Recognition and Graduation Balls, the Ring Dance, and the various other dances planned throughout the year.

The Allied Arts Society, also, is a guest of Arnold Hall as it invites famous performers to its stage to entertain the Wing and the officers and men of USAFA.

There are many more attractions to lure the members of the Wing to Arnold Hall, but whether it is just to enjoy a snack at the snack bar, or to enjoy an evening with some famous entertainer, Arnold Hall and its facilities are available.

The man with the music.

Game room: power ping-pong.

Snack Bar: on the way in or out?

Arnold Hall, as well as being a place of entertainment, is a source of social education. It is a meeting-place for cadets interested in the fairer sex, and it is a place of entertainment once these young ladies have been met.

Consequently, it is to the hostesses that many of the social problems come, for it is they who can take the unhappy, bewildered cadet, give him a cup of coffee, and discuss his problems, whether they be about the girl-friend, or some other question of social etiquette.

And so Arnold Hall becomes not only a playground, but a proving ground as well, for the Officer and Gentleman of tomorrow.

Parish Memorial - A

Welcomed Ketreat

Farish Memorial Recreational Area was a welcome gift to the Cadet Wing, for it provides a place to "get away" from the work of being a Cadet and affords a bit of outdoor pleasure and relaxation,

Farish Memorial is a well-equipped area, for it contains not only a large lodge, but smaller over-night cabins as well. In addition, its beautiful, and well-stocked lake provides fishing in summer and skating in winter, along with the many other activities.

The ski-slope now under construction will add to the sledding and tobogganing fun of previous winters, as well as to the fire-side parties enjoyed on cold winter nights.

Farish Memorial has always been a gathering-place for whole squadrons of the Cadet Wing, and, as such, will long be remembered for its contribution to Wing spirit, relaxation, and fun.

we

certainly had the spot.

After the Academy moved from Denver to its permanent site, The City seemed lost to usas a source of entertainment. However, as cars become more plentiful and western living makes distances change, Denver is once again stepping to the fore as the provider of off-hours entertainment.

Because it is Colorado's largest source of varied entertainment (and this includes girls), those who can get away from USAFA can usually be found in "Little D," twistin' at some party, catching a new movie, or taking in any one of the many night spots for which Denver is famous.

Colorado’s ski areas were well enjoyed.

Mountain resorts: hrnmram, nice.

and other games.

The Cadet Club was founded by members of the Cadet Wing in order to provide an "Officers' Club" for Cadets. Open to First and Second Classmen, and their guests, the club is located in the Antlers Hotel in Colorado Springs and is a very important factor in providing both off-base relaxation and training in the social graces.

The Club, though inexpensive, is home of many happy hours; Drinks, TV, and casual chit-chat, though always present, are supplemented by brighter offerings, such as Jazz Concerts, dances, and beer-calls.

The Club is an important addition to Wing social life. It doesn't just provide a place to go; it is, instead, a club maintained and cared for by the Wing itself, providing happiness and fun for all who care to join.

You’re supposed to drink it from a glass.

Who needs a band?

Boring little soiree, isn’t it?

Christmas! And the Upperclassmen have gone home! It was time for the Doolies to take their place as the social lions.

Dances, skiing, skating, Christmas parties—all this and more, as the Fourth Classmen relaxed and enjoyed the Holidays. They remembered parents at home, invited girl friends out, or met new friends, as, perhaps for the first time, they began to attach themselves to the fun and gaiety to be enjoyed at home in Colorado.

Christmas was fun, because it was busy. It is hard to be homesick, when having fun keeps one so busy.

The Mother Goose Blast! The latest of a long series of annual "Blasts," the Mother Goose Blast was the first to feature such dances as the "All Night, Cast or Not, Twist," and the "Inebriated Mashed Potatoes."

Held in Denver, as were all the "Blasts" since 1959, this party set the tempo of the Denver night life for the year. It was a year of good night life, too, for, unlike formal Academy dances, the Denver parties are anything but formal. Instead, they are representative of the Wing's search for the type of fun they missed by not going to a University, and, as Cadets always will, they seem to have found it.

With girls galore, and often sporting a new (and unpaid for) Corvette or Impala, the dashing young Cadet, now unrecognizable in his red bermudas and sweatshirt, can be seen on almost any Saturday as he lets go of the week's tensions and pretends, for one day, at least, that he's a happy, gross civilian. It's party time, and whether it's the Mother Goose Blast or just a small party in some friend's apartment, a can of beer and a cute coed can make life beautiful again.

Your name must be Roger T. Bamum

Of course I haven’t had too much to drink!

Call it, aaah dancing?

Dances, dances, dances. The cadet's year is full of dances with lots of music and pretty girls. There are formal dances to welcome visiting cadets, both from our own Academies, and from foreign lands. There are dances to celebrate events at USAFA, such as Recognition and Graduation, and then there are dances to celebrate athletic victories.

Just as the events and attire varied, so did the music— in fact, all the way from Ralph Marterie to the Nairobi Five. But no matter who supplied the music, the Cadets and their dates supplied the fun, for Academy dances always seemed to take on an aspect of their own special type of grandeur.

Now, a right cross to the head.

Anybody reminded of Europe?

Our Wing Commander relaxes in native garb.

This dress tickles.

The 1961-62 Social Calendar saw its greatest variety of dances in the school's history. In fact, the number of innovations in the world of dance was so great that it was difficult to keep up with them all.

In addition to numerous glittering formals, masquerade parties were the order of the day. This newer form of academy celebration included such events as the Mardi Gras and the Foreign Language Costume Balls, with Cadets and guests attired in some ingenious, as well as rather original, costumes.

Another new and exciting attraction in the USAFA dcmcing world was the twist hop. Usually including socks and crazy, non-uniform attire, the twisting dances after athletic events added to Academy gaiety.

Paging Cadet Nino Baldachi.

Formal dances are usually planned to celebrate some event, such as Christmas or New Year's. This year's dance calendar included at least one dance for each class.

For the Class of 1965, there were two rather special dances, one at Christmas, which included the chance to meet Academy dignitaries, and, of course, the Recognition Dance during June Week. For the Class of 1964, there was, also, the Recognition Dance, when they had the chance to meet the new Upperclass.

Things were even happier for the Class of 1963, for they celebrated the receiving of their rings at their Ring Dance. And, of course, happiest of all was the Class of 1962, for they attended the Graduation Ball.

Girls always look lovely on the spiral staircase.

Activities

Honor Representatives

The Honor Representative is responsible for insuring that a spirit of Honor is instilled within each Cadet and that the basic statement of the Honor Code, "A Cadet will not lie, cheat, nor steal, nor tolerate one who does,” becomes a part of the cadet's way of life. Election to the position of Squadron Honor Representative is the highest honor a cadet can receive in extracurricular activities.

Professional Sthies Committee

The two primary responsibilities of the Cadet Professional Ethics Committee are to recommend, prepare, and conduct formal and informal instruction in Cadet Professional Ethics under the supervision and guidance of the Commandant of Cadets and to keep the Commandant of Cadets informed, through his chain of command, of the ethical status of the Air Force Cadet Wing.

Polaris

The Polaris Staff has the responsibility of producing the quasi-official publication POLARIS, the Academy yearbook. With delivery of the 1961 POLARIS in September, the 1962 Staff was put in a position analogous to following Caruso to the stage. Having depth in experience, the Staff set out to make the book as nearly as possible a product of cadet work with as little professional outside help as possible. In November, four staff members took time out to attend Associated Collegiate Press Conference at the Fontainbleau Hotel in Miami Beach, picking up a new layout, photographic and copy ideas as well as beach maneuvers. Then came a virtual standstill in work while we waited out a contract dispute over publishing. Rapport was reinstated and work picked up, behind schedule now, of course. In April, the 1961 POLARIS was presented to dignitaries in Washington, D. C. by the 1962 Editor. And as is the case with any publication, deadlines loomed insurmountable as they grew near, and it was those long coffee filled June Week nights which brought the 1962 POLARIS to this final product.

'64 Class Committee

The 3rd class committee is composed of one elected representative from each of the 24 squadrons. The committee meets bi-weekly in regular meetings and at any special time when a problem comes up that concerns the 3rd class.

The purpose of the class committee is to be a direct communication line between the cadets in the class and the higher chain of command. Members of the class point out problems to the committee. If the problem is worthy of consideration the committeemakes recommendations to the department that the problem concerns.

The academic departments and the wing commander also use the class committee to pass informataion down to the class through the squadron representatives on the committee.

Class committee members serve as a suggestion box through which fellow squadron members suggestions are brought before the rest of the class. If the suggestion is a good one the committee does all that it can to see that the suggestion is acted upon.

’65 Class Committee

The '65 class committee handles the general questions, suggestions, and gripes pertaining to '65. It is composed of one representative from each squadron; Major Ashmore acts as sponsor.

The biggest job undertaken by the class committee was that of organizing and planning the Christmas festivities. This included, with the aid of Mrs. DeSmet, the decoration of all of Arnold Hall and the supervision of the talent show. The committee also insured that the many and varied activities for the fourth class ran as smoothly as possible.

It must be stressed that the class committee is the representative organization of the class of '65. It did such diverse things as select the memorial plaque for the Paul Picnic Area, brief the class on their accounts and associated financial matters, and pick academic representatives for the dean. It is not officially a policy-making organization, but it helps make policy; it is not a complaint department, but it looks into complaints; it looks after the interests of the class.

Squash Club

The Cadet Squash Racquets Club was formed in the fall of 1961. The club initially had 46 members and elected Cadet Allen Sigman, Class of 62, as its first President. Captains C. W. Oliver, Athletic Department and R. L. Nordlie, AOC, 14th Squadron, served as coaches of the Club. The main competition during the year came from the staff and faculty team which was comprised of several former intercollegiate players. Unfortunately, the staff and faculty team proved too strong in every match. The cadet team; however, defeated the Fountain Valley School on two occasions. With the caliber of cadet play improving as it has, we hope to compete this year against several Clubs in Denver, and against some nearby college teams. The mainstays of the Club in the 1961-62 season were Cadets Sigman, Nichols, Sellers, Kuchlewski, Weight and Robinson from the Class of 62, Cadets Pickens and Maher from the Class of 63 and Cadets Snapp, Smith and Sears from the Class of 64.

Aquatic Club

The Cadet Aquatics Club is a newcomer at the Academy, having been formed late in the spring semester of 1961. Almost before the club was begun, the membership grew to about one fourth of the cadet wing. Due to this popularity, the club was divided into three sections: the Scuba Section, the Water Skiing Section, and the Sailing Section. The club has been very active considering the lack of equipment in the Water Skiing and Sailing Sections. The entire club participated in the Aquatics Day Picnic and the First Annual Aquacade. The high point of the year was the Scuba Section's four day trip to Key West, Florida. The club was ably led this year by Captain Paul S. Cleland and Cadet Gaillard R. Peck Jr.

The Group also contains a dance band, the Astro-Notes, who have been heard from time to time in the Arnold Hall ballroom, and a few small combos who have played both at the Academy and at the Cadet Club.

The pride and joy of the Group this year were the Blue Men, a four piece combo which the Group sponsored to the Collegiate Jazz Festival at Notre Dame. Much talent and hard work placed these men within the top 22 collegiate jazz groups in the country.

This year the TALON had a new look, aimed at the wing itself, and it was very well received. Covers were done by George Wunder, and also by Milton Caniff, and the Girl of The Month premiered this year, along with the very popular Flickering Screen feature. Circulation increased to almost 5000 on an international level. The staff was composed this year of about thirty cadets, divided into business and production staffs.

Key staff members attended the Associated Collegiate Press Convention in Miami in the fall, and returned with many valuable ideas. All will not soon forget the staff party at the Smith's. It was a year full of ideas, new, refreshing ideas, as the TALON Staff tried to lift the magazine above other college magazines. To keep abreast of other college accomplishments in the publishing field, TALON exchanged with almost forty other college magazines, and many important ideas stemmed from a perusal of these other magazines.

Contrails

Contrails provides interested cadets the opportunity to participate in the preparation and publication of the Contrails Book (the Fourth Class Bible) and the useful Contrails Calendar. During the fall semester, the staff prepares the Contrails Calendar. The profits received from this publication are turned in to the Cadet Welfare Fund and are used to benefit each cadet in the Wing. The spring semester is devoted to the publication of the Contrails Book which is published each June for the incoming fourth class. Contrails contains, among many other things, current information on the United States Air Force Academy, the Air Force, and fourth class knowledge. Editor-in-Chief Managing Editors

Rally Committee

There is certainly no cadet in the Wing who has not felt the magnetic unity expressed by the Wing at a pre-game pep rally. It is the Rally Committee that organizes these pulsating rallies which unify the spirit of each man for a coming game. The boisterous smokers in Mitchell Hall where any attire composed of anything less than five different uniforms seems overly plain, the thundering send-offs or return welcomes for a varsity team, the half time stunts—all ofthese are the results of many hours by the Rally Committee. In short, they rally the already present high spirits of the Wing into solid unity.

Cheerleaders

"The leaders of noise" may be an appropriate name for our cheerleaders. This group is responsible for maintaining the high spirit characteristic of the Cadet Wing. Their aerobatics were a source of joy and amazement at the football games and provided a variation from the standard arm waving of other cheerleaders. Our cheerleaders became very experienced in the use of pyrotechnics (Navy game and CU game). There was only one complaint: Negroni's long name usually retarded the game for about fifteen minutes while it was being announced through the PA system.

Cadet Wing falconers

The Falconers are known to the Cadet Wing mainly for their football half time demonstrations of the Wing's mighty mascot. But one and one half hour of each day of every week sees our Falconers in the Falcon Hilton. The Summer requires about twice this much time every day because indignant young civilian birds must become military in one summer also. The winter and its wonderful breezes bring happiness to our disgustingly outdoorsey mascot and many colorful comments on colorful Colorado from our mascot chasers. A dogtrot through knee deep snow after an AWOL bird across our wind blown flats and gently rolling hills is always thrilling. Spring finds our mascot catchers out at 0430 on the cliffs in this area checking on possible AFA candidates.

Mathematics Club

The Academy Math Group was organized as an honorary mathematics club for those upperclassmen who have taken advanced courses. The programs presented this year have been in accordance with our goal of promoting the scholarly and mathematical development of its members. Topics such as early system of multiplication and the odds on certain games at Reno were discussed. A trip was also made to Kaman Nuclear to see how mathematics were being used in research. Seven cadets represented the academy in the national "William Lowell Putnam Memorial Competition."

Stamp Club

Cadet Collectors, assisted by Major Richard S. Steffel, gave several stamp exhibitions during the year, including participation in the Rocky Mountain Stamp Exhibition in Denver.

Bridge Club

Bridge is a game of cards and people. The bridge club provided its two-hundred members with sociological as well as intellectual stimulation. Lively duplicate games with American Contract Bridge League master point awards were held among cadets off and on in the Fall and weekly in the Spring. Site officers turned out to be less than infallible in the October Cadet-Officers game. Forty cadets gained more experience than prizes in the play-by-mcril National Intercollegiate Toumament in March. Stamina carried the University of Colorado teams to trophies in the seven school all day Invitational Collegiate Tournament at Arnold Hall in May. A pair of doolies invited the right two ladies to walk away with the trophies in the annual Cadets-Wives Teamof Four in May.

Chess Club

The Chess Club provides interested cadets instruction and practice in the art of chess by providing an opportunity for participation in cadet tournaments and matches with outside teams. To this effect, the club maintains a special room outfitted with chess equipment and instructional material. The 1961 Chess Club had four major matches this year. The match against the Naval Academy was of special importance in that it was played by using the facilities of the Radio Club. This was an "Academy first."

ROCKETRY... FROM KAI FUNG FU TO THE MOON

From the first-known use of rockets in the defense of Kaifung-fu in 13th century China, rocketry has experienced anything but a continuous advance. For many hundreds of years these early fire arrows knew little improvement or new missions. Gradually they were given minor applications as signaling devices, incendiary weapons and lifeline launchers. Suddenly, in the last three decades, rocketry has made its breakthrough as a spectacular source of power.

Since World War II, Bell has been in the forefront of rocket engine application and development, beginning with the design of this country’s famed X-l supersonic research airplane, first to penetrate the sound barrier successfully in 1947. It was followed by the Bell X-l A and X-2, which established even higher speed and altitude frontiers. Next

came Bell’s own liquid-propellant rocket engine for Rascal, the first operational air-to-surface guided missile. Today Bell is delivering in quantity the highly-reliable Agena 16,000 pound thrust liquid rocket engine which made aerospace history February 28,1959, by propelling this country’s first polar satellite into orbit. Since then, the Bell Agena engine has put more useful payload into orbit than any other and now is playing a significant role in Air Force satellite programs and NASA’s Ranger moon probe. Bell also is providing the rocket reaction control systems for the manned Mercury capsule, Centaur and the X-l5 research airplane. Bell engineers continue to develop new uses and new engines for even more powerful rocket propellants to help speed this country’s conquest of space.

ONE AIRCRAFT ONLY, THREE BASIC USES: TRAINING, OPERATIONAL TWO-SEATER, CLASS F 104 G PILOTS TRAINER.

It is designed for the training of fighter pilots fromthe initial to the final stage and can perform all the tactical ground support missions planned for the FIAT G 91 LWT fighter from which it derives. It can accommodate all the electronic equipment of the F 104 G to adequately train pilots assigned to aircraft of this class.

It is possible to shift from one mission to another easily and quickly as the aircraft is structurally pre-arranged for the installation of the equipment for the different configurations.

MINUTE MAN. The U. S. Air Force’s first solid-fuel ICBM, shown above in flight, is one of Boeing’s major programs in missile and space field, along with Supersonic Bomarc area-defense missile and the Saturn S-IC rocket booster. Boeing is weapon-system integrator on Minuteman. Saturn S-IC is the first stage of a giant three-stage launching vehicle that will be used for space probes. Boeing will develop, construct and test S-IC booster stage for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

SPACE GLIDER. Drawing of Dyna-Soar space glider, which will combine extreme speed of a ballistic missile with controlled and accurate flight of a manned aircraft. Designed to be rocketed into space, where it could travel at speeds approaching 18,000 mph, Dyna-Soar will be able to re-enter earth’s atmosphere and make conventional pilot-controlled landing. Boeing is system contractor for Dyna-Soar, now being developed by U. S. Air Force with cooperation of National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

CARGO CHAMP. U. S. Air Force’s new Boeing C-135B turbofan cargo-jet holds 10 world cargo lift and speed records, including carrying 66,000-pound payload over 1250-mile closed course at 615.81 mph. C-135Bs, with cargo capacity of 82,000 pounds, are used by MATS to airlift missiles, cargo and troops worldwide.

AERIAL MISSILE launcher. Versatile Boeing B-52, shown making in-flight launch of supersonic Hound Dog missile, also carries regular bomb-bay load of gravity bombs. B-52Hs will later serve also as mobile launch vehicles for the hypersonic Skybolt ballistic missile, now under development.

Another great Astrojet-the 990-joins the American Airlines fleet.

American Airlines has launched the most advanced jet airliner in the world: the 990 Astrojet.

Here is the new shape of commercial aviation. You will notice two extra aerodynamic bodies on each wing. These are speed capsules, designed to smooth out the airflow at high speeds.

Here is the new brawn of commercial aviation. We believe the 990 is the strongest airplane ever built. It has Astrojet is a Service Mark ofAmerican Airlines, Inc.

tremendous structural integrity. Many extra safety factors have been built into it.

And here is the new comfort ofcommercial aviation. Wide aisles. Wonderfully deep, wide armchairs. A spacious, club-like First Class section. And a pleasant surprise for jet travellers: 3-and-2 seating in the Coach section.

For a new experience in flying, try the most advanced jet in commercial aviation: the 990 Astrojet.

BELIEVES THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A BAD ROAD! Owners of other cars must think Corvair enthusiasts are impossible bores: They’re almost always bragging about how a Corvair keeps its footing on any surface. Of course, you should forgive them. It’s just the way a Corvair is. Its rearengine design puts weight where wheels want it when the going’s rough, and its independent suspension takes starch out of the stiffest road. Its air-cooled engine is nothing to sneeze at, either. But if you’re a non-believer (and we suppose it’s possible), ask your Chevrolet dealer for a chance to put this road-lover through its paces. Who knows, after one turn at the wheel, you just may become a Corvair bore yourself!

CORVETTE GET IN, SI T DOWN, DISAPPEAR. If you’re the kind of animal who can’t get away fast enough from office elevators or kitchen sinks, or wall-to-wall boredom, you’re surely a candidate for a Corvette. Go on, why don’t you give it a try?

Pea soup is duck soup

The F-105D is an all-weather tactical weapon system. One man flies it with equal success in soup or sunshine. As tactical workhorse for the U. S. Air Force, since 1959, its active service proves F-105D mission capabilities are second to none. System means unity. Pilot, plane and weapons fly together as one. Purpose: Close support for ground forces. Requirement: Success in any weather.

Armament: Broad range of conventional or nuclear weapons. To aid pilot control: Fully integrated automatic Doppler navigation radar, weapons delivery control, and flight control system which enables the pilot to take off under the worst weather conditions, come in low on the deck to avoid enemy radar detection, and hit the target. Mission accomplished, the F-105D returns safely to base.

The live new '62 convertibles from Chrysler Corporation. “Live” means live weight. Every ounce is dedicated to strength and performance alone. You’ll get as much as 10% better acceleration and use less gas. A new low-friction steering gear is the closest thing yet to power steering without the extra cost. And an improved Torsion-Aire suspension system gives a road-hugging ride that makes bumps and unwieldy curves a thing of the past. Even maintenance is easier. You’ll drive 32,000 miles between major lube jobs, 4,000 miles between oil changes. Like a common-sense car with a kick to it? Sample one of these. Dodge

What is a Winchester?

It wasn’t too long ago when the word Winchester meant rifle. The old model 1866 was as much a part of our Western history as the Conestoga wagon and the buckskin shirt. Time was when a man felt naked without his Winchester unless he was a preacher and it was on a Sunday.

Oliver Winchester’s first rifle was the Henry repeater. The Confederate Army saw it from the wrong end. They called it “That damned Yankee rifle that you loaded on Sunday and fired all week.”

Later Buffalo Bill Cody told people, “For general hunting or Indian fighting I consider my Winchester (model 1873) the boss.”

Now, a new rifle has joined the all-time Winchester greats: the model 100, chambered for the 243 and the 308 Winchester cartridges. This is the fastest shooting five-shot hunting rifle ever made. It is the proud result of over 100 years of traditional Winchester craftsmanship. Wherever duty takes you, you and your Winchester are in pretty good company.

He assembles space vehicles for launching... in orbit

This AMF engineer evaluates the alternate concepts and design approaches for orbital rendezvous —prerequisite for the construction of orbital stations and man’s ultimate missions to the further reaches of space.

He is familiar with the hostile environment of space—temperature extremes, hard vacuum, meteorite effects, and radiation. He understands the vital human factors involved, for he appreciates the need for man in space—as a strategist, as a scientific observer, as a technical troubleshooter, as a versatile controller.

He is also busily engaged under contract in the analysis and design of retrieving and mating mechanisms for the inorbit assembly of both space stations and spacecraft. For example, he is determining if guidance systems are precise enough to assure direct contact...or if extendable arms must be included.

AMF’s space investigation capabilities encompass all mechanical and human requirements from the earth to the moon and beyond from launching... to assembly and operation in space...to the total spectrum of necessities for man’s survival and activities on the moon.

Currently, AMF is studying:

Lunar traversing vehicles.

Temporary and permanent lunar bases. Effects on materials of hard vacuum, radiation, meteorite bombardment, and radical temperature changes.

Space-hardware test equipment.

Absorption of spacecraft landing shock on the moon’s surface.

Life-support systems and aerospace medical equipment.

AMF is oriented to meet and solve problems that have never before been posed. AMF engineers and scientists bring to bear a vast accumulation of collateral experience and a gratifying record of suecesses. AMF Government Products Group. Fawcett Place, Greenwich, Connecticut.

THE ULTIMATE DEFENSE

Knowledge is theultimate defense if kept free to repel the evils that besiege mankind. To give knowledge the time to win, it must be protected—on its outer perimeter by weapons.

Weapons are created with knowledge, built with know-how, and produced in quantity with technical skills. Foremost in Grumman's plans for the future are men who have the imagination to create and the insight to solve.

Gentlemen:

Congratulations are certainly due to each of you upon completion of your four years at the Academy. We wish you many years of continued success as an officer of the Un:ited States military service.

As you pursue your career in the service of our country throughout the world, those of you who become electronics and communications officers, will have many opportunities to work with and depend upon the equipments manufactured by TMC. Many TMC engineers are on active duty throughout the world in both military and commercial service. They too, went through many years of schooling to qualify for their job. We are sure you will find them good members of your team.

If, in the future, we may be of help to you, we offer the assistance of our engineering and management group in the furtherance of the state of the art in our chosen field.

Sincerely yours,

reason why Ford Motor Company cars are quality built. Their silence is remarkable. Rigidized construction and double-reinforced doors minimize squeaks and rattles. A blanket of sound absorption material hushes engine noise and cuts down wind noise. Three layers of floor insulation reduce road noise. Even the roof is insulated. Body construction like this is just one of the steps already taken in Ford Motor Company’s determination to free you from car cares. It all adds up to the fact that our cars are quality built to last longer, require less care, and retain their value better.

At Douglas we’re planning years ahead on ways to increase man’s control of his space, air, earth and sea environments.

Missile and space systems are being developed of prime importance to America’s defense nowand in the future. Others will aid in the prediction and control of weather or be involved in world-wide telephone and television communications systems. Solar observatories and space stations are being

planned, as are the giant manned space vehicles necessary for solar system exploration.

Also receiving considerable attention is a complete space city in which men and women can live and work on the airless moon.

Closer to our home planet, Douglas has designed a jetliner that will fly three times faster than sound. Also under development are vehicles that will ride on a cushion of air only a few feet over sea or

land. And Douglas operates one of the world’s most complete floating laboratories for research on what’s happening in the depths of our oceans.

The shapes of things to come are taking form in the hundreds of programs in the research laboratories of Douglas.
