WILMER ERNEST RAWIE Grand Forks, North Dakota " weaz " " swede " THIS blue-eyed ex-gob from North Dakota, wirh a cheerful smile al- wavs ready for a friend, is a snake for one, and only one, a trait de- veloped since he arrived here. The flow of that " perfect fluid " from his vocal chords never ceases until he has completely exhausted the supply of gas which makes vibration of the chords possible — and then he takes another deep breath. The Quarter Deck Society certainly missed a good man. Shipmates will always find a willing and vociferous sea-lawyer on board. His visions of becoming Sigon II, were shattered. His hobby is model ship-building — having put three in bottles already. Lucky the ship that he calls home, for they ' ll have a " man " aboard, and ' 38 may well wish him luck — he ' ll have it anyway.

" AN independent son of the South, a cracker, a rebel, a salt, and a XJl grappler both in practice and theory. When he was not being worked to a lather, grappling with the academics, he was grappling with a four inch manila hawser — his ultimate aim — to climb the rope. Between these two hazards he found time to amuse and abuse his comrades in the wrest- ling loft. His philosophy of life is embodied in the phrase — " Right or wrong, let ' s do it my way. " Needless to add you won ' t go too wrong if you follow his shrewd and sagacious ideas. Ski has cherished the friend- ship of many, both with the ladies and with his fellow men at the Naval Academy. With all of them he has a way of his own. Good luck, Harry! Wrestling 4; Class Football 4, 3; Crew 4; Bugle Corps 4, 3, 2, 1; Juice Gang 4, 3, 2, 1; Chief Electrician 2, 1; Ensign. ££ 261
