President

Bart Holaday

Bart sought to excel in the belief that mediocrity cannot be good. He sought freedom through self-discipline for himself. He gave freedom to others and expected self-discipline of them. He made decisions on the knowledge that it is better to take a chance and perhaps achieve than to be safe in doing nothing. He finds life noble and knows that it is good to be a man. He believes with good cause that “all that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.”

Vice President

Flash Wiley

“Flash,” as Fletcher is called by all his friends, is a Hoosier from Indianapolis. Finding his home unable to satisfy his adventurous spirit, Flash has traveled over most of the nation and over a lot of the world, never missing a chance to meet new people and learn new things. While at the Academy, Flash acquired a deep interest in languages, history, and political science. He claims sports and partying as his favorite pastimes. On the Superintendents Merit List ever since he has been here, Flash hopes to pursue his academic interests in graduate school immediately after graduation.

Secretary

Roy Bridges

Roy hails from a small town in the deep South – Gainesville, Georgia. While at USAFA he has managed to build a remarkable record. Every semester found him on the “Big 3.” Although somewhat shorter than the average cadet, there wasn’t a Yankee in the Wing he couldn’t out talk. On the week-ends, he could be found in one of two places – in the rack sound asleep, or on Route 85-87 terrorizing the local motorists in his white MGB convertible. Skin diving and sky diving also managed to consume part of his time. All in all, the Air Force can count on this officer joining the aviating ranks immediately following his graduate study and pilot training.

Treasurer

Mats Matsuyama

Garey, more affectionately known to his friends as “Mats,’ came to the luxurious USAFA campus from the strict and demanding life of the University of Hawaii. A native of Honolulu, Hawii, he spent two years at University of Hawaii prior to coming to USAFA where he has since directed his academic efforts toward an Engineering Science Degree and Astronautics. His cadet career was highlighted by his selection as treasurer for the Class of 65. However, most of his spare time has been devoted to the Judo Club, Model Engineering Society, and his pool cue. Future plans include pilot training followed in a few years by graduate work in Astronautics.

Historian

Jerry Wilkowski

Hailing from the sidewalks of New York, “Ski” came to the Academy a Brooklyn Tech alumnus. His cadet career has been liberally sprinkled with bits of glowing sentiment. Membership in the Academy Assembly, 65 Ring Representative, ’65 Class Historian, and frequent possessor of the Commandants wreath are but a few of his more formal distinctions. He has also been an active member of both the Ice Jockey and Ski Clubs at the Academy. Upon graduation, “Ski” hopes to go to navigator training and retain his distinction as a “rock.”

Scribe

Bill Roberts

One year the dust of southern New Mexico got too dry, so “Robs” migrated north in search of water. Instead of finding water, he put on khaki’s and found the fourth-class system. Being in a blue uniform didn’t discourage Bill from coming out on top in the battle with the Dean. The white slopes of the Rockies captured him early and his love of skiing aided him in being Ski Club Representative during his second-class year. His musical talents came to the fore in two Bluebards’ productions. From the stage to the rifle range isn’t an easy transition, but Bill made the move to the Hi-Power Rifle Team smoothly. Graduation will find him joining the rush to get a pair of wings, with hopes of navigating for a SAC combat crew.
