John has announced almost every sport at Navy. Always ready to crack a joke or make a witty remark, he has always maintained his good nature and sense of humor; even through such trying times as youngster cruise! It seems Indiana failed to prepare John for the rolling .waves of the sea and the gentle rocking of the ship which accompanies them. John ' s ship had no more than pulled away from the pier when he was seized by that dread plague known as seasickness. John made many trips to the rail that summer; but he never failed to do a good job. Determination and perseverance like this will make him a fine and long remembered Naval Officer.

Baseball. An avid sports fan. John can be classified as an expert on either the Boston Red .Sox or the Boston Celtics, whether it be averages, players, lives or records. F.ven though his letter- winning days didn ' t carry over here at Navy. John could be counted on heavily when it came to the intramural pro- gram. The other major interests, besides sports, are John ' s studies and minor speculations in the stock market. He has been an eager student during his four years here and has taken full advantage of the new elective program. John ' s quick wit and sense of humor, have made him quite popular with many of his classmates. John has never been one to turn down the chance to do a friend a good turn, and can always be counted on in a time of need. Through his perseverance and determined dedica- tion to his studies and education, John will surely do well in any field ihul he chooses, and should become an out- standing Naval Officer. 40
