GLEN WARREN LEYDE ■■Bud-- Onamia, Minn. FROM the North Woods of Minnesota came this husliv, good looking youth with a look of health and the out- doors on his face and a winning smile that captivated all with whom he came in contact. His early life was spent mostly in the open, trapping and hunt- ing, but he decided to forsake all of this and hunt for bigger game — an education and a Naval career. There are few of us who have not at times come into contact with his likeable, happy-go-lucky personality and fewer of us who have ever out-matched his clever wit and repartee. Those who know him are proud of his friendship and delight in his companionship. Always sympathetic where sympathy is needed, his sparkling humor forces one to see a silver lining in every cloud. Possessing a natural athletic ability in whatever sport he lends his endeavors, Bud is too easy going to take his athletics seri- ously, although he was a track man of some promise before he decided that cinder path would require too much of his time. He learned earlv Plebe Year that academics were doomed to occupy second place after his good times, and has continued his policy throughout the four years. Nevertheless, his keen, analyt- ical mind has served him in such stead that he has experienced very few of the difficulties encountered by most of us. We leave Bud with a feeling of happy memories and regrets, hoping that it is not good-bye but only — Au Revolt. WARD JOSEPH PETERSON ■■Pete ' - St. Paul, Minn. GOT a skag? How about ' two bits ' until payday : ' Yes, , it ' s Pete making his daily rounds. However, we are glad to exchange a skag or two for his well developed line. This athletic lad hails from God ' s country where men are men and the women are glad when their Pete comes home. His good looks and pleasing personality rival his natural athletic ability, and who can tell which has led him to the highest re- ward. Those who know him will remember him for his good humor and sparkling wit. A master of the gentle art of repartee, always laughing. Ward kindles a spirit of companionship in the hearts of all who know him. Academics are a minor problem to Pete. How he gets such good marks on so little study will forever remain a mystery to many of us. Perhaps that particular strain of genius that was responsible for his setting a four month leave record is the answer. Pete is a man who deserves the best in life and we know that with his perseverance he will soon add Dame Fortune to his list of numerous conquests. P ehe Boxing. Plehe Footbtill. Plebe Tennis.

mM.h ACAmmr 11 ROBERT LEE TOWNSEND Boi ■Tf.v Harlingen, Texas FROM the wide domains of the Lone Star State to the restraining life of Bancroft Hall came our Chivalrous Bob with those long eyelashes that have caused many a maiden ' s heart to flutter. However, with few exceptions, he has been quite impervious to their charms; seemingly unaware of their admiring glances, and unaffected by their praise. Academics are easy for him and he is always ready and glad to help anyone having trouble with Dago or Nav. He ' s easy going and steady and can always be depended upon in a pinch. His counsel is always sought and esteemed and those who follow it never regret. He is good at baseball and wrestling, but really shows his class on the football field or on the Severn, where he can be found any afternoon stroking his crew to a fighting start and a victorious finish. The lour years at the Academy have made Bob many and staunch friends. The same qualities that made them and gave him success in academics and athletics will prove a valuable asset to him. Bob will go far and make the trip with ease. His good nature and good looks will make lasting friends of all with whom he comes in contact. We can see nothing except the bright- est of futures for you Bob, and we hope that we may very often have that great pleasure of being your companion. Reef Points. Company Representative. ijo lb.

CHARLES ROLLINS WARE Charlie Rollo Chuck Knoxville, Tenn. 4 HE has draj Sweden, D with the ragged from fourteen states, two territories, , Denmark, and Spain. .W in all quite a favorite ladies. You know some are born with it, others acquire it— reference is suggested to Ba ltimore. Enough about the femmes. Classical music and in fact most any kind appeals to him, although he was one of two men who went their entire Second Class Year without a Vic. Brain power, quoting Charlie, is something to be acquired after long years of arduous struggle. During our sojourn here he has come up from behind more than once. His early days were spent in sunny Tennessee. Receiving the cosmic urge, or whatever one cares to call it, for higher education he entrenched himself in our stronghold here on the Severn. In dabbling in various fields of endeavor this character has no peer — all the way from firing a title to tumbling. Possessing a seemingly natural bent for cheer leading and being an ardent sport enthusiast our Ail-American cheering section was greativ benefited by his presence in the cheer leader ' s boots. Charlie is an interesting fellow to talk to and quite an asset to any gathering. A good smile coupled with the knack of get- ting along with people will serve him well in the future. After visiting about half the globe he says it ' s a jolly old world after all. We feel that his time here was well spent. On parting we say with all sincerity adios . . . until we meet again.

«jtr ARTHUR REBERG MANNING Art Ogden, Utah YES, Sir! Streets as wide as parade grounds; marble build- ings, and trees on the main drag. The most beautiful women in the United States, and mountains — man, we ' ve mountains that make ant hills out of anything this side of the Mississippi. Whoa! That ' s Art, the Mormon from Ogden, doing his bit for the local rotary club. He ' s a fine chap. Art, in spite of his homing tendencies. We all intend to visit his Utopia some day and see what it is really like. Art is a whiz with a rifle — we imagine he picked up his talent in the woolly West. He ' s quite a bear on the mat, and thereon has done much in intramural matches to make ' 34 proud of him. He likes to sail, read good books, and receive letters. Not that he isn ' t a mean hand at writing them too! The Mormon in him permits him to keep manv irons in the fire without ever getting burned. Not a savoir but industriously close to it. He never had need to greatly fear the threat of 1-.5. We hope his class number grows small enough to allow him a commission if he wishes it. Should he choose school teaching out West or politics in scrupulous Utah, the Navy will miss him. He is well liked, with numerous friends from the sand blowers, where he holds forth, to the first platoon. We hope that everv time ' 34 may get together we can see his cheerful countenance m evidence. Wrestling 4, , 2, 2 P. 0. STATON RAY OURS Nuestro Ray Kallo MoOREFlELD, W. Va. AY was first discovered, after casting his lot with the Navy, buried in a mass of newly acquired property. Since that day he has been slowly gaining momentum not only academically, but in the esteem of his many friends. He is a native son of West Virginia and is proud of his state, a Republican at heart, and has a mania for tramping through the woods with an old shot gun over his shoulders. Like all moun- taineers he tells a good story and some of those which he tells of the feuds staged in those parts are really hair raising. Realizing that some day he might return to seek his fortune in the old home town, he has made himself so proficient with the rifle and pistol that he ranks with the best produced by the Navy. As a roommate there are none better. He is characterized by his good common sense, industry, unselfishness, and his ability to have money when everyone else is broke. His quiet unassum- ing manner and lack of affectation explains the fact that one ' s admiration and friendship for him grows with the passing years. The traits which have made him such a good roommate and friend will surely carry him to success whether it be in the Service or civilian life. zP.O rA
