Bob is our agile first baseman, tennis star, and was also on the football sguad. l-lammond's roommate and partner in the petty crimes of practical joking, he's unobtrusive, like- able, and always ready to laugh. He is headed for the Coast Guard Academy in 1939 and from all indications is an excellent prospect. Voted most optimistic.

Bob is the most sea-minded cadet in the corps and his quest for sea-faring knowledge is ever going on, as evidenced by the tact that he stood way out front in his navigation class. Bob worked hard in everything he started and won the distinction of being voted best student and most likely to succeed. X
