ROBERT KEITH COULTER Glad%vin, Michigan- The Doctor, hailing from the Wolverine State, spent three years at Northwestern U. studying pre-nied before coming to Navy. An abundance of good nature and love for a good time made him a must at any social function, while at the same time he had little trouble where the fair sex was concerned. An avid skier, the Doctor has graced the slopes of Winter Park, Colorado, and the mountains of Northern Michigan. With his natural ability to make friends, and his interest in his profession. Bob will have little difficulty in finding a place in the service. GEORGE OWEN COMPTON Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Play it loose! was Owen ' s motto. Neither motherly letters from home nor the all-seeing eye of the Executive Depart- ment could keep him from his knack for stowing in obscure corners more civilian clothes than are usually found in a well-stocked haberdashery. Having little trouble fathoming the inner workings of amplidvne power supplies, or Foreign Policy imder Dr. Paone. Owen retired to the rack and. find- ing tliat the horizontal position goes well with pocket-size westerns, deserted his ha ' en only on rare occasions for the purpose of disposing of pent-up energy and wreaking ha oc upon any and all opponents on the athletic field. DAVID JACK CONLEY Strathmore, Califorxl Jack The Ripper Conlev is about the most intelligent party boy who stalks the earth today. Take a jigger of genius, mix well with a dash of Beelzebub and a pinch of Casano%a and you have his class standing in the roaring twenties. Hailing from God ' s country, he spent one year at the University ' of California as the lad causing the most blasts in chem lab in 1951. Smooth as cashmere, competent as a Mark 5 com- puter, with the cunning of Br ' er Fox. Razorback Jack has carved an inimitable record with his slide rule finesse. You won ' t forget him, for somewhere, someda % ' Oii ' ll meet him again at the top of the pile of men struggling for success. 392
