' Ar tB! ' DAVID WELLINGTON COCKFIELD Columbus. Ohio See Da e was iisualh- tlie achice to anvone in trouble academicallN-. The CO. ' of the NROTC unit at Ohio State couldn ' t see all this talent being wasted in mere civilian life and so prompted Da e into taking the USNA entrance e.xams. The advantages were questionable, but Dave kissed the girls goodb e and came East. A hard worker on the Class Crest and Ring Committee, he deserves much of tlie credit for the design and ultimate finished crest we wear todav. With Dave ' s personality and abilit) ' he is assured of always having a large circle of friends and a loyal following in whatever professional field he might choose. POWELL FREDERICK CARTER, JR. P.

His thoughts were ever wending their wa ' back to the sunny beaches and pine covered mountains of his native state, where he enjoved hunting, fishing, sun bathing and the building and racing of hot rods. A Navv line aspirant, P.F. hopes to win his golden dolphins as soon after graduation as possible. JAMES JOSEPH CHMELIK CiCEHO, Illinois ' . Joe came to Naw atttr two years at Lovola of Los . ngeles and some night work at Loyola of Chicago. It was in tlie. spring of 1951 that he decided to change his major from ' . accounting and philosophv to electrical engineering and a .service career. His favorite sport is golf, but Ivv League rules made him inehgible for the varsit)- competition. He compensated for this bv going undefeated on the Plebe team and in battalion competition. His even disposition gives him the ability to adjust himself to any situation which, when following his father ' s footsteps in a ser ice career, will stand him srood stead. tt. LS 131 ;b.
