Plebe and youngster years saw I?ol) out on the Soccer fields battling it out. but with the advent of intramural Kugby. Bob found his true sport. Many was the time that he re- turned to the room looking like he had been strained through a tennis racquet, but just bursting with delight over having won a hard fought game. Bob ' s knowledge of Naval Science and History, along with bis tremen- dous ability to adapt himself to almost any situation, is certain to insure him a most productive and enjoyable career in the Navy. MICHAEL THOMAS BROWN An all-around athlete while at Law- renceville Town liip High School. Brownie found pole-vaulting to be his true calling during the [)lebe track season. From that time on he channeled his many talents into his vaulting and became one of the best in the field.

Keeping one jump ahead of the Skinny [)ept. occupied a lot of Mike ' s lime, hut he still found time to become par- ticularly a lept in the Orman language.

ROBERT ANTHONY ANDRETTA Bob. who hails from Wilmington. Delaware, came to the Naval Academy after a year at Columbian Prep. Although a diligent stu- dent. Bob has had to fight several touch-and-go battles with the academic departments. His more important battles have been with the Bull and Command Departments, in the cour.se of which he has staved off several noteworthy offensives. His late nights and hard work have paid off, however, as he has always managed to come out on top. He is known to be a terror on the golf course (for any of several reasons), and that is where he may often be found while on leave. Bob has maintained a high degree of physical fitness during his four years at Navy, and has done well in whatever sport he has chosen to play. Bob ' s devotion to his work and his desire to succeed should hold him in good stead throughout the fine career the future holds for him.
