Kenneth Tisdale Sanger

Seattle, Washington

After a year at Severn Prep, Ken came to USNA to launch his naval career, and a running battle against the "skinny" department. He could usually be found expounding the glories of Seattle, Washington, to a classmate and, being a lover of the first degree, weekends frequently saw him entertaining his favorite girl. Another of Ken's interests was the outdoors where he spent most of his vacations hunting or fishing. He excelled in various sports and was a tiger on the lacrosse field. Ken's likable ways punctuated by his philosophies and remarks that broke up the party will long be remembered by his classmates. He was probably the only plebe to go through plebe year without saying, "I'll find out, sir." Right or wrong, he always had an answer. With his ability and drive a future of success is sure to follow.

Ronald Mitchell Saqui

Pitman, New Jersey

Ron came to the Academy from the teeming metropolis of Pitman, New Jersey, and is proud of it. A natural athlete with a penetrating will-to-win, he has always been a leader in intramural sports, be it football, basketball, cross-country, or pool. In addition, Ron is a sports afficionado in every sense of the word, always more than willing to spend his liberty time watching a good solid sports contest and able to recite without any hesitation any sports fact. "Squee" was always way ahead of the game in academics, having little trouble remaining a star man and apparently deriving a great deal of pleasure cramming every available space in his academic program with overload courses. With his carefree nature and his easily provoked laugh, this yankee lad should prove a most valuable asset to the Navy and to the country in whatever endeavors he undertakes.
