"Nick" came to Crabtown after completing his high school education at Mount St. Michael Academy. "Nick's" leadership ability can be traced back to his outstanding high school record, when he was Student Council president and co-captain of the varsity football team. Although his interests have changed slightly, he is still as popular and jovial as ever. Varsity lacrosse takes up most of his time in the fall and the spring. His free minutes during the winter are spent reading a good book or listening to his favorite record album. "Nick's" easy going personality fit in well with his recent home in Manasquan, New Jersey. The love of the water which he has developed on the sprawling beach will blend well with his life in the Navy. We wish the best for "Nick" in his future career.

On the exterior, Matt, with his sharp tongue, caustic wit, and outspoken manner, camouflaged the understanding, congenial manner which his close friends associated with him. Besides football, Matt was also very serious about his academics and particularly helpful to any classmates who were puzzled over the following day's assignment. Finally, Matt was an admirer of the feminine gender, putting it mildly. His manner was frank and his actions positive, and this attitude carried into the Fleet will certainly reward him with a successful career.
