MAURICE HERBERT RINDSKOPF Jamaica, New York mike rindy KNOW N throughout the class for his happy spirit and friendliness Mike presents an example for many. His most grateful friends are those wooden members of the class who in time of need have received the cheerfully given answers to many stubborn problems, and the light to carry them through. Mike carries his starring from the academic to the athletic field where he strives for what we suspect is his ambition, an N . His determination to improve in lacrosse, the one sport he had never be- fore undertaken, shows his will to succeed and his wish to tackle some- thing new. With his experience, gained undoubtedly from his regular ap- pearance at the hops, Mike has been more than a friend to those in need of good advice, in this, his other conquered field. }, 2, i; Football 4, 3, 2, 1, asketball 4, 3, 2, 1, N; La- , j, 2, , N; Lieutenant (j-g-j- ROBERT CARPENTER MILLARD Mamaroneck, New York pop bob BOB is quiet and unassuming, but he will defend his honor at any time with anyone on the mat in MacDonough Hall. Varied though his achievements are, his ability as a grappler tops them all. Bob ' s great am- bition is to win an wNt, but he does not let that desire overshadow the fact that he would like to star in Dago. Pop, for so he has been called since his pre-Academy days, derives infinite pleasure in praising his favorite state, Connecticut, where, as he will readily admit, tickets are given for speeding for no reason whatsoever. Bob is not unaffected by the midship- man ' s greatest weakness, women, for in his time many have come and gone. Robert ' s amiable personality and his willingness to help (whenever he has the wherewithal) have made him well liked by all.

JOHN JOSEPH WALSH Baltimore, Maryland bucky red DEUCES were wild and look what we drew — Mother ' s joy and the Navy ' s despair was handed down to us to have and to hold, for better or for worse, to swear by and at. Starting off with a bang, Bucky wanted to be both good student and athlete, so Plebe summer found him out for his favorite sports of boxing, wrestling, and crew coxswain. How- ever, when the trees enveloped him in their branches, he decided that one thing well done is better than two halfway — he dropped athletics. During the subsequent four years of persistent and conscientious effort Bucky made the grade, the squads (sub, ship, etc.) won our hearts and the sobriquet: subcalibre; but don ' t let his size fool you, for there ' s enough T. N. T. packed in that frame to propel him a long way in our universe. CARL BERMAN HOLMSTROM Arlington, Washington FROM far out rounder where the lumberjacks grow comes this very good-natured Swede. It would seem that the big trees of the evergreen state imbue in a fellow a love of fun that makes him liked by everyone. Rarely serious, always easy going, the Swede ' s inordinate desire to sky- lark coupled with a very fertile mind have furnished laughs on any num- ber of occasions. However he ' s a good sport and when some of his victims retaliate with more than they receive he laughs it off and goes to work on a new idea. Ever the Plebe ' s friend, his fund of pertinent dope has made him an oracle to which the knowledge-thirsty untouchables are sent for the answers. Compositely, Swede is a complacent hard-working Semi-Red Mike possessed with a delightful manner of bumming cigarettes and an abilitv to make friends with evervone. Track $, z, )8; Batt.

HARVEY HILLYER SIMS, JR. Clayton, Missouri halyard A FTER vainly endeavoring for five years to accumulate credits in high l . school, H. H. decided to transfer his talents to our own institution. Once here, he has become noted for his ability to stay on the line. If he miscalculates some month and gets as high as a 3.0, he is morose for weeks, dreading his classmates ' scornful glances. He has become one of the more famous Fourth Batt. snakes and is noted for the number of femmes that he has left stranded by the wayside. Enigmatically, though, he has always remained loyal to the one girl. For weeks before her trips to the shores of the Severn, he starves, pines, and even sulks in the shower. He always recovers, however, and turns into himself again, a regular fellow and a swell roommate. G. P. 0. 5 JOSEPH ROBBINS TUCKER Washington, D. C. ajax joe BOASTING a year of collegiate life, Joe got the Navy feeling from some remote source and decided to become one of Uncle Sam ' s pampered pets. He never has any trouble pulling down the high marks and is al- ways willing to lend a helping hand to those who are groping through the uncertainties of academic strife. Ajax does only the minimum amount of work on his studies and the rest is used either in reading or trying to decide who should get the seats behind the posts at the various shows. Neither a Red Mike nor a snake, Tuck is always consulting his list of en- tertainments so that the O. A. O. can come down for the week-end. Quiet, cheerful, determined, and always minding his own business, Joe will go a long way in the Service.
