WILLIAM JACK BUSH Seattle, Washington WILLY came to us out of the wild and woolv West bringing with him some of that warm Pacific sunshine in his ever ready smile that has brightened so many days here. He has always preferred Cosmo to Dutton and yet has survived the attacks of the Academics with little trouble. Sampling every branch of athletics before finding his true love on the small-bore range, he won his N the first year out. To the despair of the fair sex he has devoted his talents to the O. A.O. since Youngster year, once almost to the extent of leaving us for married bliss. But he ' s with us yet and may his stay be long. Life will hold nothing but the best for vou, pal, but here ' s luck anyhow. Log 4, i, 2, i; Chairman Ed it or nil Board i; Glee Club 4, y, Musical Show 4; Choir 4, 3, 2; S. B.

Always within easy reach of the much coveted stars, he never seemed to take interest in wearing same for he was more interested in finding out just why things ticked in practice. Hence he ' s one of the best in- formed we have. He ' s very popular within his own group and is highly re- spected by all. He ' s a good end on class and battalion teams and a good rilleman. His snaking is not too serious. We ' ll miss his cheery smile and pleasant word not to mention someone of whom to ask How do you get this prob? No need wishing Willie luck, he has what is required.

IRWIN FRED FIKE Normal, Illinois fickle fritz FICKLE ' S record at the Academy gives great promise of a brilliant naval career. Since the first Plebe days he has coupled an enviable scholastic record with outstanding prowess in three major sports and numerous minor ones, yet has never been known to brag about anything other than a mythical ability as a cribbage expert. He is a confirmed Mi- chael Rojo in training, but is noted as a serpent of glittering scales at all other times. His irresistible good humor and exceptional tall stories have made him popular with all who know him. The fair ones actually believe those earnest stories and that guileless countenance. Among his little known hobbies are sleigh riding and ski-jumping at which he possesses an awesome endurance. All in all. he is a good friend and a regular fellow.

Although he has no record in outdoor athletics, his feats are known far and wide in the afternoon sessions. His good common sense stands him in good stead, though his name does not grace the honor roll. We find him popular not only with the men but also with the ladies and few are the hops that are not graced by his presence. Mac used to boast of his home podunk but his long absence has weaned him away from that home in Indiana. His interest in aviation has been one of his rare consistencies and those in doubt as to his study in this line may engage him in a dis- course on aerial navigation and new types of aircraft engines. Here ' s to many happy landings for a regular fellow. C. P. 0. t=E 251

ROBERT MAURICE ALLISON Cherry Tree, Pennsylvania ' axel al POSSESSED of exceptionally good humor and a ready smile, Al makes friends easily. Even when he entered the Academy and was fitted with a suit many times too large for him, his sense of humor came to the top. This spirit has helped him over many difficulties including Academics. Boxing is his only athletic interest although he also goes out for track to keep in condition. He has missed only one hop during three years and that only because of an unfortunate accident. One would think he would be a Volunteer, hailing from Pennsylvania, but he is definitely a minute man. Axel is a true lover of classical music, blondes, and fast horses. He is an exceptionally good rider. Although very susceptible, he maintains he will remain a bachelor. Boxing 4, }, 2, i; Ban.

A year at Maryland U. climaxed Bill ' s civilian career. Bill has preferred to remain in the background so that few of us really know him well. He proved himself a good sport under the Plebe summer tricks of playful wives. Academics ne- cessitated plenty of hard work, but Bill was always sat at the crucial mo- ments. One of his chief virtues is an endless capacity for hard work. He hasn ' t participated much in organized athletics, but his ability to shoot earned his recognition in that line. Because of a slight physical handicap the quarter mile gym test has taken plenty of hard work to master. Os- tensibly a Red Mike, Woozie is especially snaky in regard to Dixieland sisters with a Southern drawl. Ambition, conscientiousness, and character will win those coveted wings. £ Rifle 4; Wrestling 1; M. P.O. 253
