United States Naval Academy - Lucky Bag Yearbook (Annapolis, MD)

DONALD WHEELER HAMILTON, JR. Roswell, New Mexico " don " " ll.WIMI TO this Navy Junior, steeped in the hnest naval traditions, entering the Naval Academy that hot July day was the attainment of a goal sought for 17 years. He exhibits real ability at football, boxing, and lacrosse, winning four numerals Plebe year. Overabundance of " light " leads him to volunteer coaching in all sports. Unconscious of his handsome features and Y-tvpe figure, he is not a snake and subscribes to the theory that there are two classes of girls: the O. A. O. and all the rest, but so far has met only " the rest. " Don is a swell roommate, generous, savvy, and loyal, though stubborn and so diplomatic that he frequently gets all hands into ticklish situations. I expect Don ' s ambitions for " 4 stars above his quarter-deck " to be realized before many classmates now wearing stars. Football 4, }, 2, 1, NA: Boxing 4, 3, 2, 1, NA; Lieutenant. JACK EMERSON MANSFIELD Freewater, Oregon JACK MANSY THIS tall, dark, and pleasant guy from the Oregon apple country is one fine man. With no troubles at all in the social, academic, and athletic fields of endeavor, he has taken full advantage of getting the most out of his midshipman ' s career. Though an idealist, with a faithful O. A. O. in Freewater, Mansie does his bit of dragging and gets more than his share of letters and pictures. Boning magazines and writing letters are his favorite indoor pastimes; however, he studies just enough to stand well under a hundred in class number. Basketball is his feature attraction in athletics. Jumping Jack is at his best when he comes back from practise with that grin on his face and says, " They started to play rough tonight- Boy! did I have fun.
