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.

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.

FRANK DOLAN W HALEN Hartiord, Connecticut frank duff FROM Philadelphia comes Frank with dreams of Naval Aviation, born in Hartford where he used to watch the service planes flying over- head. Being a bit on the heavy side of the scales, he has received a great amount of joking, but the smooth temper and genial nature of his Irish blood have carried him through and left him with a great many friends. The Sub and Weak Squads have received a great amount of Frank ' s time and the Math Department has caused him no end of worry, but he has al- ways pulled sat in time for leave. Having been endowed with a carefree nature and a head full of common sense, he should go out in the Fleet and become a very good officer.

Oh, you mean that red headed fellow who always has either a guitar or a camera with him. More description is superfluous. O. B. wields a mean pick on the guitar as any NA-10 enthusiast will attest. And what a whiz with a camera ! Plebe and youngster years found him struggling with his own Kodak, but he entered his Utopia with the ad- vent of the Lucky Bag second class year, assuming the duties of Photo- graphic Editor. In this last capacity, he deserves a hearty Well done. During youngster year he blossomed forth as an honest-to-goodness snake and, since then, he has not been known to miss a hop, unless duty called. He has a faculty for making friends easily, which along with his other attributes should stand him in good stead after graduation. =£ Photographic Editor Lucky Bag; Mu- sical Club Show 4, 3, 2, 1; Mandolin Club 3; NA 10 4, }, 2, 1; M.
