JEP C. JONSON Greenville, Kentucky pappy pinky WE think it is true what they say about these Dixie fellers, at least as exemplified by our Pappy. He is congenial, easy going and pos- sesses excellent sporting qualities, being ever ready for a frolic or a tussle. Being an ideal shipmate, Jep is the friend of all who know him. You don ' t have to ask him if he s having a grand time in life. It ' s in his face and every action. His many nicknames speak loudly. In short, we think he ' s a grand little guy. He never lets academics worry him until grades are posted and not for long then. He came to us from the blue grass state and purchased shoes like his brother ' s. He aspires to follow that brother to his dive bombing squadron. We ' ll cruise again, Jep. Wrestling w%it; Bugle Corps 4 M. P. 0. ROBERT WARING McNITT Perth Amboy, New Jersey the monk ROBESPIERRE T=t HAVING spent literally all his time before coming to Uncle Samuel ' s School of the Sea sailing on Raritan Bay, Waring brought with him an enviable fund of sea-going lore. Occasionally being of a serious turn of mind, he finds plenty of time to devote to the important consideration of academics, and is well known as a savoir. The rest of the time he is sailing, dragging, sailing, engaging in any one of the number of sports in which he excels, or sailing. If there is a respectable breeze and boats available, the choice is sailing. Get it? Robespierre will share his last apple or pipeful of tobacco, and his cheerful nature makes it easy to win friends that stick. Here ' s to the success of one fine fellow — Bottoms up!

THOMAS RICHARD INGHAM Wymore, Nebraska tom dick NEBRASKA sent Dick to the Academy with a determination to make good that will carry him to the top. Although the involuntary hours spent acquiring grace in the instruction pool greatly interfere with s much loved siestas, his evenings are spent quelling frolics and winning a close Dago race. A guarantee to cure brings all his friends around for sympathy chits. Sufficiently gregarious and indoctrinated with an ap- preciation of the Service, Dick looks forward to a full life in the Fleet. His generosity and good nature make him a swell companion and a sterling friend. He will gladly lend you his good-luck dime. But beware of him if his blotter is bare after second period; then his genial nature changes to All right! Where did you guys hide my mail? Choir 4, i,- , i.M.P.O. ■ ' GEORGE ALFRED WHITESIDE Stillwater, Oklahoma wiiitey snookums THE Sooner State rounded out this smiling auburn-haired son of God ' s Country for the Navy. As savvy as they come, his interests and intel- lect are along practical lines and life holds more than a star for him. Pos- sessing varsity potentialities in no less than three sports, others have been cast aside for his one love, the Crew. The annual pull down the Hudson is his life. He has come to love the briny deep and the ships thereon, but his aspirations as when he joined us, are for the fleeter craft of the Dog Fight. Tall of stature and of stories, he will live his memories over in those energetic bull sessions until only memories and glories remain. Power to you even if you do choose the Marine Corps.

LEONARD EDWARD HARMON Cranston, Rhode Island jigger eddie THEY call him Jigger, this little man from the smallest state in the Union, but that is as far as littleness goes in describing him. His heart is as big as anybody ' s. For the first two years he spent most of his time trying to keep his wife from bilging out. He succeeded, just as he has in almost everything else. Jigger is one of a room of three Red Mikes but that does not mean he neglects the women entirely. The rascal has a way with the gals that is quite astounding. He is not a savoir but starting with Second Class year he has been just a step behind the stars. We know this swell guy will continue to excel, out in the Fleet.

CONRAD JOHN ZIMMER Brooklyn, New York connie bwooklyn TO us, his wives, it sometimes is a wonder how the din of the Navy ' s big guns ever penetrated the swirl of Brooklyn baseball ... to reach Connie. The World Series, the league hitters, are Zimmer ' s hobbies. A crackling delivery, a slight Yorkish accent, a sense of humor, make his stories enjoyable. Plebe year changed a sixteen year old boy into. . .what- ever they call Midshipmen. Youngster year and Christmas Leave finished it off. Connie was not a Michael Angelo, so he had tough sledding in Plebe year Steam. He ' s a perpetual Dago savoir, and the rest of the Academics hold no fear for him. No O. A. O. yet— a Red Mike— (that doesn ' t fool us); no athlete, but never on the sub — weak squad — he ' s been a grand friend, a better wife . . Here ' s to you, Connie!
