JACK VINING DELL Jack 22nd Company Little Rock, Arka?7sas When Jack arrived at the Na al Academy from Little Rock, he was a confirnieci hnidluljber. There was one thing that he was sure of— he wanted to be a good naval officer. He spent most of his time working toward that end, too. Studying, ' arsity soccer, and company athletics took much of his time, but he still found time to make many good friends in the Brigade. He always shows a ready smile and quick sense of humor no matter what the situa- tion. With hard work like this, we are sure he will reach his goal and be a great officer in oiu United States Navy. DENNIS EDWARD DOHERTY Denny 9th Company Kem ' iUe, Texas Dennis, hailing from the town of Kerr ille in the great Lone Star State, came to the Naval .Academy without the advantage of a year or so of college behind him. He discovered that he was not cut out to be a mathematician, but, with Texan determina- tion and just plain s veat, he a oitled the pitfalls of the Depart- ment of Mathematics and emerged ith flying colors. His favorite subject of study was the German language, stemming, perhaps, from the fact that he spent a part of his childhood in Europe. He was :;n active member in the German Club, played company squash for four years, and spent some time on the Reef Points staff, as well as devoting time to the Log during Youngster Year. Navy Line looks mighty fine to Dennis, antl the Submarine Senicc is particularly appealing. DORSE HOWARD DuBOlS 11 Dose 13th Company Brownsille, Texas In true southern style with an easy smile and gentle manner. Dorse came moseying up from just north of South of the border where the Rio meets the Gulf. Howe er, his claim to Texas as strengthened b) his higli Bull standing. A year of bareback bronco busting at Texas Uni ersity fully qualified Dub% to ride herd on the Plebes, which he did with a fervor. His Detail Haiti with a four wing radius was well known to all fointh class. His spirit and determined will to vin aidetl this 150 poimder in stroking Navy ' s crew to victory. .Although having broad tastes in music and food, Dube was narrow minded when it came to girls, preferring the Texas Belle: weekends usually found him studying or sailing his yawl. His future probably in- cludes ,1 year in the Fleet, after which he hopes to tly for Navy. One thing ' s for sure, whether riding the sky or those rough tin cans, we know he ' ll do just fine. ,;v! beat ih :ieinil)e ' » n 316

JOEL PORTER DECKER Jay 8th Company Magnolia, Arkansas From the foothills of the O arks, Jay came to Caabtown in the lootsteps of a long line of Navy men.

He did manage to devote a small amount of his time to doing battle with the books, and always seemed to come through in the classroom when things were looking down. Noted for his collection of i opular record albums, lay spent his spare time listening to his music or initiating football weekend parties.
