60th ReunionAPRIL 27-30, 2017

W elcome to the 60th Reunion of the Class of 1957. This booklet provides an

update to changes regarding facilities at our alma mater since we graduated.

We all appreciate how fortunate we are to be associated with such an outstanding and

historic institution as this—“Our” United States Military Academy.

In this booklet you will find a copy of our Reunion schedule, photos and information

about new and modernized facilities on our West Point “campus” and a map showing the

location of these facilities. For those visiting the West Point Cemetery we have included a

diagram of the Cemetery and a list of our classmates and family members buried there.

Again—WELCOME to OUR 60th REUNION. We look forward to seeing you and

hope you have a grand time.

We have enjoyed planning this opportunity to once again get together and visit with you.

West Point WINDSHIELD TOUR

Arvin Cadet Physical Development CenterThe Arvin Cadet Physical Development Center is named in honor of CPT Carl Robert Arvin ’65, who was a USCC First Captain, Captain of the Wrestling Team, and a Rhodes Scholarship finalist. CPT Arvin was killed in action during his second tour in Vietnam, and was awarded two Silver Stars for gallantry. The original gymnasiums were constructed in 1910. The Theater was added in 1935, Crandall Pool in 1971, and Old South Wing in 1976. The latest addition to West Point’s gymnasium complex was completed in 2005. Providing 300,000 square feet of program space, the new facility houses multiple pools, racquet sports courts, combative sports rooms, a climbing wall, locker rooms, a sport medicine suite, space for 49 instructors, and other administrative spaces. The building’s main architectural feature is an interior atrium spine that serves as an organizing element. The atrium rises 125 feet from the basement floor to the skylight, spans 25 feet in width and extends 230 feet.

Hayes GymnasiumHayes Gymnasium, formerly the East Gym, is named in honor of CPT Thomas J. Hayes IV ’66, who was the Brigade Adjutant, Chairman of the Honor Committee, and a player on the Corps Squad Soccer and Fencing Teams. CPT Hayes was killed in action in Vietnam, and was awarded two Silver Stars for valor in action.

Crandall PoolCrandall Pool is named in honor of MAJ Robert W. Crandall ’39, a former Captain of the Swimming Team. MAJ Crandall was killed in

action just a week before the end of hostilities in World War II. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for valor in action.

Quarters 100One of the oldest buildings on post, Quarters 100 is designated for the Superintendent and his family. Previous occupants include Robert E. Lee, 1829; Douglas MacArthur, 1903; Maxwell D. Taylor ’22JUN, William C. Westmoreland ’36, and Willard W. Scott ’48.

Cadet ChapelBuilt in the “military Gothic” style, the Cadet Chapel was dedicated on June 12, 1910. The stained glass windows were dedicated to graduating classes, ranging from 1803 to 1976. While serving the needs of several Protestant religions, the chapel is also noted for having the largest church organ in the world. The organ consists of more than 25,000 pipes.

Catholic ChapelThe Catholic Chapel of the Most Holy Trinity was designed by Heins and LaFarge in the Norman Gothic style. It was built in 1899 and enlarged in 1959 under the direction of Robert Robbins, making it the oldest house of worship of continuous use at the Academy. Its 22 stained glass windows depict soldiers and saints from early, middle, and modern Christian history and memorialize Catholic graduates of the Academy killed in the service of their country. This chapel offers a full schedule of Masses and programs for all Catholic members of the Corps of Cadets and the community.

Jewish ChapelThe completion of the Jewish Chapel in 1984 culminated a 20-year undertaking. The organization responsible for the project was the West Point Jewish Chapel Fund, a private, non-profit civilian organization. This group raised more than $7.5 million to erect and furnish the facility. In 1986 the Jewish Chapel was deeded to the Academy. Led by a military chaplain, the congregation serves the needs of the various branches of Judaism represented in the Armed Forces. In close connection with the Jewish Welfare Board, worship resources are designed to meet the board spectrum of the Jewish faith. The Chapel contains an extensive Judaica collection, a fine library, and special exhibits.

Constitution CornerThis is a special place, located on the outside of the southeast corner of the wall surrounding the Superintendent’s Garden (near the MacArthur statue). It is a monument recognizing the relationship between our Constitution, our three branches of government, and our professional soldiers. It is a memorial to the 76 members of the Class of January 1943 who died in combat or on military duty while supporting and defending the Constitution. It is often a rendezvous point for cadets and their family or guests, since it is situated just outside the north sally port of MacArthur Barracks.

Thayer WalkThayer Walk converted Thayer Road into a pedestrian mall, stretching from the north end of Building 606 (Admissions) past Grant and Bartlett Hall, and around the corner to the east of the “old” library. The project restored the roadway and sidewalks to more closely resemble their appearance in 1913. The Classes of 1957, 1961, 1965, and 1974 joined forces to make this project a

reality, each committing $1 million. Each class then memorialized its own section of the walk. The renovation not only restores the historic nature of Central Area, but it also provides a clear separation between vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Honor PlazaPresented by the Class of 1957, this plaza, which is located at the end of Eisenhower Barracks, displays the Honor Code etched in granite, along with several quotes from history on the importance of honor and ethics to West Point graduates and the Army profession.

Bicentennial ForumThe Class of 1965 Bicentennial Forum is directly across from the east entrance to the USMA Library. The pentagon-shaped design provides an outdoor venue for classes or individuals seeking peace of mind and relaxation.

Reconciliation PlazaLocated across from Lee Barracks and presented by the Class of 1961, this memorial focuses on the Class of 1861, whose members had to choose between fighting for the North or South in the Civil War. It is comprised of a series of plaques depicting the events that reunited a divided Nation and a divided alumnus.

Mahan HallNamed for Dennis Hart Mahan, Class of 1824, Professor of Tactics at West Point from 1824 to 1871, this hall houses the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering. The ten-story structure built into the side of the cliff on the river side of Thayer Road opened for classes in 1972.

Grant HallNamed for President and GEN Ulysses S. Grant, Class of 1843, Grant Hall was constructed in 1931 on the site where the cadet mess stood for nearly 80 years. It contains paintings of America’s five-star generals: Arnold, Bradley, Eisenhower, Marshall, and MacArthur. Once a reception area where many cadets met their future wives for the first time thanks to the efforts of the cadet hostess, Grant Hall is now used for casual dining by cadets and guests.

Lou Gross Sports CenterThe Lou Gross Sports Center is located adjacent to the Lichtenberg Tennis Center and just west of Michie Stadium. The 23,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility, made possible by the generous contributions of lead donors Lou Gross ’54 and Herb S.Lichtenberg ’55, was officially dedicated on February 14, 2002. The building contains locker rooms, team rooms, a training room, coaches’ offices, spectator viewing, and public restrooms. In addition to becoming the permanent home of Army’s nationally ranked men’s gymnastic team, the Gross Center directly benefits both the men’s and woman’s basketball teams, giving them a top-notch practice facility that complements the Holleder Center.

Lichtenberg Tennis CenterThe Lichtenberg Tennis Center, named for brothers Alan A. ’51 and Herbert S. Lichtenberg ’55, was officially opened in January of 1999. Later that year, it was named one of the outstanding public tennis facilities by the U.S. Tennis Association in the collegiate category. The brothers and members of the Class of 1955 donated the funds to make the facility possible.

Fort PutnamFort Putnam was one of many forts at West Point during the American Revolution. Built in 1778 by COL Rufus Putnam’s 5th Massachusetts Regiment, it was the key fortification in the interlocking networks of forts and redoubts making up West Point’s defenses. From this site, the Plain and approaches to the Great Chain could be protected. Originally a wood and earthen redoubt, Fort Putnam evolved into a stone fortification that still stands today. The longevity of the fort was helped by an extensive renovation during the American Revolution Bicentennial in the 1970s. From the fort it is possible to see most of West Point and the surrounding Hudson River Valley. The Class of 1952 contributed full-size replicas of the original ordnance located at Fort Putnam (ten cannons and four mortars) during its 25th Reunion.

Malek Tennis CenterIn the Spring of 2002, the Black Knights opened the Malek Tennis Center. Featuring enhancements to the former Clinton Courts, the Malek Tennis Center enhanced Army’s reputation for having some of the best facilities in the East. Among the amenities at Malek are a spectator seating area and a pedestrian plaza, which adjoins the tennis and baseball stadiums. The nine courts, which are named for the project’s lead donor, Frederick V. Malek ’59, are located directly parallel to Clinton Field and adjacent to Doubleday Field.

Gillis Field HouseGillis Field House, an indoor practice facility, is used for varsity and intramural indoor track competitions as well as for varsity volleyball. A modern indoor track surface and its triple jump runway make it one of the best track facilities in the United States. Gillis Field House was named for MAJ William G. Gillis Jr. ’41, who was killed while fighting in France during WWII and was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, Distinguished Service Cross, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart, among other decorations.

Softball Complex at North Athletic FieldThe Army Softball Complex is located at North Athletic Field adjacent to Gillis Field House. The complex was completed in 2003 and is recognized as one of the best college softball stadiums on the east coast.

Tronsrue Marksmanship CenterThe prominent rise of the rifle team as the top program in the nation, capturing its first NCAA title during the spring of 2005, is due to Tronsrue Marksmanship Center, funded primarily by lead donor George M. Tronsrue III ’78, and completed in January 2000. The range underwent major reconstruction after a portion of the facility was destroyed by fire in 1996. The indoor marksmanship center, located next to Gillis Field House along the banks of the Hudson, is equipped with three ranges and includes facilities for the club pistol team. Army unveiled its newly-minted Center on a stage when it hosted the 2003 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Rifle Championships, marking the national championship’s first appearance at West Point since 1991.

Shea StadiumShea Stadium is part of the Class of 1952 Memorial Athletic Complex. The project was a cooperative effort between appropriated funds and the generosity of the Class of 1952. Appropriated funds provided for an eight-lane, Olympic caliber track, a synthetic surface playing field inside the track, and a new drainage system for the entire area. The stadium, which is named after Medal of Honor recipient Dick Shea ’52, who gave his life in the Korean War, includes new locker rooms, team facilities, and state-of-the-art track timing and photo capability. The Class of 1952 Memorial Plaza is located at the south end of the stadium.

Holleder CenterThe Holleder Center houses not only the Edward C. Christl Jr. Arena, which seats 5,043 for basketball, but also the Joseph S. and Frederick H.S. Tate Rink, which seats 2,746 for ice hockey. Dedicated October 1, 1988, the building is named for MAJ Donald Holleder ’56, who was killed in action during the Vietnam War. While at West Point, Holleder earned All-American honors in football and was enshrined in the

NCAA Hall of Fame. Administrative offices for the Army athletic facilities staff, the Army Ticket Office, and an athletic training room are located in Holleder Center. The building also contains two concession areas, an Army Athletic Association gift shop, a sports medicine room, and offices for both basketball and hockey coaches and their administrative personnel.

Kimsey Athletic CenterThis facility, funded primarily through the tremendous support of Mr. James Kimsey ’62, houses a home team locker room, with 151 permanent lockers and space for temporary lockers, and a visitor’s locker room. Also on the floor is a sports medicine center for treatment of athletes from all teams. The second floor houses the Army Sports Hall of Fame, while the Kenna Hall of Army Sports, whose lead donor was E. Douglas and Jean C. Kenna ’45, an All-American quarterback on Army’s National Championship team, is located on the third floor. The third floor also houses the offices of the Army football coaches and their support staff.

Michie Stadium/ Hoffman Press Box (shown on page 6)Michie Stadium is dedicated to the memory of Dennis Michie, Class of 1892, who was instrumental in introducing the game of football to the U.S. Military Academy in 1890. Michie organized, managed, and coached the first football team in history at West Point.

The stadium’s field was dedicated in 1999 as Blaik Field in honor of Coach Earl “Red” Blaik ’20, Army’s football coach from 1941 to 1959 and Director of Athletics from 1948 to 1959. The playing surface of the field has gone from natural grass to AstroTurf in 1977, SuperTurf in 1984, AstroTurf8 in 1992, AstroPlay in 2001, and new turf in the summer of 2008. Also in the summer of 2008, the stadium’s old scoreboard was replaced with a 30-foot-by-50-foot scoreboard, completed with a 20-foot-by-50-foot high-definition video board.

The Hoffman Press Box provides media personnel with a 12,000-square foot, two-story multi-functional press box. Named after Mark B. Hoffman ’69, its lead donor, the press box provides seating space for members of the print media complete with Internet connections, offers a “state-of-the-art” television broadcast booth on the 50-yard line, and features radio, coaches, and game operations booths.

Lusk ReservoirIn the late 1800s, the Academy needed an additional source of drinking water. Thus, in 1895, under the direction of CPT James L. Lusk, Class of 1878, the Corps constructed the Lusk Dam and Reservoir, now considered significant elements within the Academy’s National Historic Landmark property. The number of gallons in Lusk Reservoir is required knowledge of all plebes. When asked the question, “How many gallons in Lusk Reservoir?” plebes are expected to respond, “78-million gallons when the water is flowing over the spillway, SIR.”

Foley CenterThis indoor athletic training facility, named for Mr. and Mrs. William Foley ’67 (who donated $15 million for its construction in 2007), provides cadet-athletes from all 25 intercollegiate athletic teams a top-notch practice center in which to train, particularly during periods of inclement weather and the winter months.

Randall Hall/ The Class of 1956 WalkwayRandall Hall is named after the late Robert D. Randall ’56. The first floor of Randall Hall houses Men’s and Women’s Basketball locker and team rooms. The second floor has a 248-seat tiered auditorium with state-of-the-art audiovisual capabilities.

Designed to be divided into two sections when needed for simultaneous use, the auditorium is used by teams for training presentations and ceremonies. The third floor of Randall Hall houses the four preferred seating boxes and the Army Basketball Coaching Center. The Class of 1956 Walkway connects Randall Hall and the Holleder Center.

Caufield Crew and Sailing CenterMr. Frank J. Caufield ’62 was the lead donor for this facility, which is named in honor of his late father, BG (R) Frank J. Caufield ’34. The two-story building at South Dock provides space for Army Crew and Sailing operations as well as equipment storage and maintenance, and it has a state-of-the art docking system that facilitates daily practice and home races on the Hudson River. The Class of 1947 also outfitted the team room on the second floor as its Bicentennial gift to the Academy.

Johnson Stadium at Doubleday Field Regarded as one of the finest college ballparks in the Nation, Johnson Stadium at Doubleday field can seat 880 fans in its fixed chair-back seating. Named in honor of Rupert H. Johnson ’21, the lead donors are his sons, Charles and Rupert.

A major renovation project, completed in 1996, enhanced the overall beauty and practical usage of the park and included the construction of a clubhouse, locker room, training room facilities, and the installation of an electronic scoreboard. Plans for the stadium include construction of the Atkinson Pressbox, which will be funded by the Eugene and Carol Atkinson Family Foundation.

Doubleday Field, which was named after Abner Doubleday, Class of 1842, widely regarded as the inventor of baseball, has a staff of dedicated groundskeepers that groom its natural playing surface year-round.

Eisenhower HallEisenhower Hall, the cadet activities center, was dedicated in 1974. It is named in memory of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, General of the Army and a Class of 1915 graduate. This 192,000- square-foot complex houses one of America’s premier performing-arts centers, a 1,000-seat snack bar and cafeteria, a large ballroom, and other social and recreational rooms. The 4,500-seat Eisenhower Hall Theatre presents a variety of live performances each season, including national touring Broadway musicals and plays, internationally recognized orchestras, dance companies, musical groups, and comedians.

Army MulesSince 1899, when a white, ice-wagon mule “helped” Army beat Navy, 17-5, mules have served as mascots for the Corps of Cadets. Mules were randomly selected from the West Point stables for home games and borrowed from stables in the vicinity for the away games. In 1936, Mr. Jackson, a former pack mule with the Regular Army, became Army’s first officially designated mascot. He served in this position for 20 years, during which time the football team won three national championships and had a record of 83-28-9! A bronze monument of Hannibal, the Army mascot from 1947 to 1964, was erected in Highland Falls in 2007, by Company M-2 of the Class of 1954.

Headquarters Building/ Taylor HallThe Headquarters building, home to the Superintendent’s and Dean’s Offices, was completed in 1913 and later named Taylor Hall. With its 160-foot tower, it is purported to be the tallest free-standing (no internal metal skeleton) stone structure in the world. In the central courtyard is a replica of the plaque on USS Missouri commemorating the signing of the Articles of Surrender by the Japanese ending WWII.

Herbert Alumni Center/ WPAOG Gift ShopDedicated in June 1995, the James K. Herbert Alumni Center (made possible by a bequest of $3,000,000 from the estate of GEN James K. Herbert ’30) is home to the West Point Association of Graduates as well as WPAOG’s Gift Shop. With it meeting rooms, lounge facilities, and the Class of ’46 Great Hall, Herbert Alumni Center is a focal point for graduates returning to West Point. Herbert Alumni Center was built on the one-time site of Smith Rink, the former home of Army Hockey from 1931-1984.

Mologne ClinicMologne Cadet Health Center was once known as the hospital to many members of the Long Gray Line. On April 24, 1992, it was formally redesignated to honor MAJ General Lewis A. Mologne ’54. Located near Grant Hall, the Mologne Center is still the first place of treatment for most sick or injured cadets.

Jefferson Hall Library and Learning CenterOpened in 2008, the new Library and Learning Center features several Margin of Excellence features that make it an aesthetically appealing, physically inviting, and intellectually stimulating location for

cadet use. The library rises six stories, and it houses the Center for Enhanced Performance, the Center for Faculty Excellence, and the Haig Room (used for special events).

Old LibraryConstruction occurred in 1963, occupying the site of the original library, which was built in 1841. The main doors feature deep relief figures in bronze depicting salient events and characters from American history. The west entrance is flanked by two cannons that fired the first and last artillery shots of the Civil War.

First Division Barracks and Central AreaLocated in the heart of Central Area, Nininger Hall is the last remnant of the old 1st Division cadet barracks (built in 1882). It is named for Alexander R. Nininger ’41, who was killed fighting in the Philippines during World War II and was posthumously awarded the first Medal of Honor of that historic war. The fifth floor tower is the original “Star Room,” where unofficial honor trials were reportedly held by cadets prior to formalizing the honor system, and the “First Captains” room is staged in the period of one of its occupants, General of the Armies John J. Pershing, Class of 1886.

Thayer HallOriginally a horseback riding hall, Thayer Hall is the largest academic building at the Academy. It was converted into a four floor, nearly windowless, academics building, which opened for classes in 1958.

Washington HallThe recipient of a major expansion during the 60s that doubled the Mess Hall area from three wings to six, Washington Hall houses academic offices, classrooms, the Commandant’s Office and staff. Yes, the original stone entryway and the “poop deck” were left in place and are now located in the center of the expanded Mess Hall.

Trophy PointTrophy Point is one of the most popular sites in the Hudson River Valley. The view to the north has been captured in paintings and photographs for the past two centuries. Monuments located at Trophy Point include the Great Chain and Battle Monument, and memorials here commemorate many of the nation’s military campaigns. Trophy Point is perhaps the preeminent site at West Point, where the past comes alive for graduates and visitors alike.

The Thayer HotelInaugurated in May of 1926, the Thayer Hotel is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. One of the many historic events that occurred there concerns the Iranian Hostages, who spent their first night (in 1981) back on American soil at the Thayer Hotel (check out the signed menu in the lobby). The Gothic revival-styled and granite-structured hotel has 151 guestrooms, 10 meeting rooms, and 4 restaurants/lounges. In 2012, the hotel completed its Executive Suite wing, which includes 23 suite-style rooms. U.S. Presidents, foreign dignitaries, and notable celebrities have stayed at the hotel over the years.

First Class Club (shown on next page)In 1958, the First Class Club moved into to the old, historic Ordnance Compound, and in the summer of 1991 the Class of 1958 began a major class project to expand and improve the First Class Club. It was rededicated on October 2, 1993, complete with small photographs and artwork of cadets throughout the years covering the walls of the Club.

West Point Museum and Lucas Military Heritage CenterContaining many interesting artifacts of importance to both the Academy and Post, the West Point Museum is located behind the Visitor’s Center. These historical artifacts, the resources of the Internet, and a suite of interactive technologies provide an exceptional classroom for the Corps of Cadets studying in several topics germane to any number of the Military Academy’s academic departments. The Museum also includes the Lucas Military Heritage Center, which was donated by the Class of 1954 in honor of classmate Andre Cavaro Lucas, a Medal of Honor recipient who was killed in Vietnam, and in memory of other classmates killed in action.

USMA Preparatory School at West PointOn May 4, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the act that established formal appointments for enlisted Soldiers to the

United States Military Academy. Through the years, the primary mission of the Preparatory School had remained essentially the same: to provide appropriate academic, military, and physical training in order to qualify and motivate candidates for admission to and graduation from the U.S. Military Academy. The earliest Prep Schools were at different Army locations and in some colleges, yet the core precedents of a structured environment stressing academic fundamentals that exist today were present in early schools. In June of 1946, GEN Maxwell D. Taylor, the Superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy, established the USMA Preparatory School (USMAPS) at Stewart Army Air Field, Newburgh, NY, about 15 miles north of West Point. He set forth the principles that essentially remain today. USMAPS moved to Fort Belvoir, VA, in 1957, then to Fort Monmouth, NJ, in 1975, and, in the fall of 2011, it moved to a newly built facility at its current location on the grounds of West Point. Since 1951,

USMAPS graduates have comprised 11 percent of the Corps of Cadets, yet they have held 25 percent of the brigade leadership positions.

West Point CemeteryThere are more than 8,000 men and women buried here, including the remains of those who died in virtually every armed conflict of which the United States has taken part. Officially dedicated a military cemetery in 1817, the history of the Academy itself can be seen in the graves of former superintendents and in the resting places of many military, civilian, and sports heroes in West Point history. The caretaker’s cottage, erected in 1872, now houses West Point’s Inspector General Office. The Old Cadet Chapel was moved, brick-by-brick, to the cemetery grounds in 1910.
