IP WILLIAM RUSSELL FORBES St. Paul, Minnesota A loyal son from Paul Bunyan land, Bill came to the Naval Academy from St. Paul possessing a combination of en- thusiasm and ability. Finding himself most at home on the golf course, he became a mainstay on the battalion golf team and still managed to pull in the points on the com- pany basketball court. A classical scholar, Bill never was ti-oubled academically. His perpetual love for good times, good things, good music, and weekends characterized Bill, whose sincere interest and cheerfulness will carr - him into a career in the Na v line. LOUIS FRANK DA VIES Buffalo, New York A Yankee bv birth, a Rebel by choice. Lou is one of the Fleet conversion men. Boot at Great Lakes, a minesweeper operating out of Charleston, and the Xaval Academy Prep School mark the road to the Academy gates. Not much of a muscle and bra Ti man. Lou worked off the excess steam in the e.xtra-curricidar field. Masqueraders, Lucki Bag, . ntiphonal Choir, ' RN Log, and Splinter managed to leave him just enough time to wrestle the academic depart- ments to a favorable decision. Brahms and weekends in New York were his two greatest loves. lltfF CECIL AUGUSTUS EDWARDS. JR.
