I HAROLD ALWOOD LEMN Princeton, Illinois If it is a real sportsman you would like to meet, then let me introduce you to the Hoss. Harry is a true Swede from the state of the fighting Illini and is proud of it. His capacity for coffee is well above the average person ' s. He is no piker when it comes to food either; however, his eating desires don ' t slow the Hoss down. Delicacies like pickled herring or Roquefort cheese make this big Swede as content as ever. A very religious man is Harrv, who is true as ever to the Lady Hoss. Although he missed his calling as another Frank Buck, were glad he made his way to Canoe U. DEMOSTHENES NICOLAS KOLARAS Athens, Greece The Army got Demo first, but fortunateh ' wasn ' t good enough to hold him. Demo spent the entire period of the occupation with his parents in Greece, but in 1949 returned to his birthplace, Lockport, New York. There began a chain of events, ending when Demo realized his life long ambition and became a Midshipman. Demo often entertained us with Greek tirades, and many times his capacit) ' for making noise at a football game amazed those around him. Harcl, steady work, whether keeping ahead in academics, helping design the class crest, or fighting his av up to the arsit soccer squad, typify a young man w ith a future. DAVID MARSHALL KOONCE Santa Ana. California Spending his early days on the beaches of the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California as a Marine Corps junior. Moon became a lover of aquatic sports, excelling in both swimming and water skiing. Finally settling at Severn School to prep for the Naval Academy, he had little trouble extending his athletic abilit ' to include lacrosse. Bringing to Navy his skill and competitive spirit, he modestly walked off with three varsity lacrosse monograms. Destined to keep up the family tradition bv joining the bovs in green. Da c will be a valuable addition to the Corps. f 394

SiflMiiite ■ ■ m i ROBERT LEWIS McVEY Des Moines. Iowa Pancho, as Bob is known to his classmates, spent some time at Iowa State College and Drake Universits ' before coming to the shore? of the Severn. At Na%y Skinn ' and swimming gave him his only major problems, but hard work and determination brought him success as it will in whatever he undertakes. When he wasn ' t studving. Bob liked to plav bridge, catch up on rack time, or plan liis next libertv. A professional at enjoving himself on libert -, Pancho can boast of man ' e enings well spent in Baltimore and Philadelphia. His excellent wit and fine sense of humor will always be remembered and make him popular where er he goes. ALBAN THO.MPSO.X McISAAC Xew Yorx, Ne - Yobx Born and raised in a fami] - that has been Navv all the wav, Tom ' s appearance in Annapolis was imminent from the beginning. Deeply devoted to the sack and the steerage, Big Red somehow found time to handle numerous extra- curricular activities. Tom was never seen with the same drag twice, but his roving eve discovered manv a fair lass. The destrover fleet is his goal; however, excessive gedunk mav force him into ships a bit more substantial. His out- standing leadership qualities were discovered when he was given command of his room the verv first week. Not a star man. Tom ' s aggressiveness will carrv him far. JOHN EDW ARD McNISH Bellentlle, N ' E ' Jersey Jack claims the Garden State of the Universe as his home. A glutton for hard work Gish came to the Academv with several years of crew training behind him, training w ' hich he put to good use as stroke man on die Plebe crew. If there was a eekend when Jack wasn ' t dragging it was the Executive Departments fault. One of the best liked men in the companv Jack was alwavs readv to do a favor for anv- one, especialh ' dragging vour dates roommate! Academics were fruit for this Slid and p-works were just another quiz. Jack will wear the stars of the Xa ' line after graduation. 396
