' 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.

PS. he entered Paddle U. where he excelled on the arsity rifle team, winning his N three years running. 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.

IP WILLIAM RUSSELL FORBES St. Paul, Minnesota A loyal son from Paul Bunyan land, Bill came to the Naval Academy from St. Paul possessing a combination of en- thusiasm and ability. Finding himself most at home on the golf course, he became a mainstay on the battalion golf team and still managed to pull in the points on the com- pany basketball court. A classical scholar, Bill never was ti-oubled academically. His perpetual love for good times, good things, good music, and weekends characterized Bill, whose sincere interest and cheerfulness will carr - him into a career in the Na v line. LOUIS FRANK DA VIES Buffalo, New York A Yankee bv birth, a Rebel by choice. Lou is one of the Fleet conversion men. Boot at Great Lakes, a minesweeper operating out of Charleston, and the Xaval Academy Prep School mark the road to the Academy gates. Not much of a muscle and bra Ti man. Lou worked off the excess steam in the e.xtra-curricidar field. Masqueraders, Lucki Bag, . ntiphonal Choir, ' RN Log, and Splinter managed to leave him just enough time to wrestle the academic depart- ments to a favorable decision. Brahms and weekends in New York were his two greatest loves. lltfF CECIL AUGUSTUS EDWARDS. JR. Be. umont, Texas Cecil, a former NROTC student at Texas U.. liked the Navy so well that after his sophomore year he came to USN.A a hardened collegiate partv man. During his high school and college davs Cecil was a distance man in track. C. A. was also a boxing fan, being on the batt and Brigade bo.xing teams at the Academy. Cecil ' s training at Texas U. trained him as a man with a desire for the finer things in life — wine, women, and song. Cecil believes that the future will take care of itself so long as Texas is independent. 504
