eon gfwooal sofa yr. MT. RAINIER, MARYLAND Lee came to the pride of the Severn via Bullis Prep. Before coming to the Academy, he lettered in basketball and baseball at St. john's High School in Washington, DC. Like so many others, however, his sports at the Academy were confined to company and battalion competition due to studies, Every now and then Lee was heard to utter those famous words, Watta System, but admitted it was through this system that he hoped to obtain his goal, a Hlet jockey in the US. Air Force. ln the midst of all, Lee always found time to be with his OAC every chance he had. Raymond ,bale gortmeger SPOKANE, WASHINGTON Five years enlisted Marine Service with a tour at NAPS taught Ray enough to enter Navy. He showed promise as a plebe fencer but the sack soon made heard its call, and most of his slashing thenceforth was done with a slide rule. The Fort found it easy to wear stars, and his pet gripe about the fruit acaf dernics was, 'lWhy not have four years of Dago? Youngster year taught him that Crabtown offered considerable local talent, and he was thereafter seen with his GAG. A return to the Marine Corps was not unlikely, but he also had his eye on Naval Aviation, ln future years, you can write him Somewhere out West. folln 17 ul .gulfer OKLAHOMA C1TY, OKLAHOMA Johnny came to Navy from Qklahoma AGM, l-le claimed Qkie City as his home town, and swore it was twice as big as New York City.

Clzarfed Walton giled LOGAN, WEST VIRGINIA Rarely has a midshipman gone through the Academy with such a variety of nicknames as has Charley Giles. The one most typical is probably Little Beaver, tagged on him after many tales of his exploits as an Eagle Scout back in Logan, West Virginia. Cathode managed to keep most of his class- mates in good humor and high morale with his matchless and innumerable jokes. Beaver's most significant contribution to the happiness of his classf mates other than tall taleftelling was his kindness in permitting his friends a chance to meet his very nice cousin. An aviation anthusiast all the way, Charlie will probably be one of the leading Naval aviators during his career. Raymond grancid girarvL fr. PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Ray, after he had attended WPI for two years, gave up a chance to become an Ensign under the V6 program to don the apparel of a plebe. At WPI he earned his varsity letter in football but found the competition too keen at Navy. After the completion of second class summer Snuffy was lured into the fold of the famous RinkyfDinks. Academics never offered much re- sistance for Ray was a wearer of the five-pointed beauties. Although not a Hdragging foolf' Ray brought his share of queens to the little campus. I-le hopes to renew acquaintances when he becomes one of the Navy's jetfjockeys. enlne onda U95 NEW BEDFORD MASSACHUSETTS Len came to Navy Tech from the USAF via a Congressional Appointment. Dago was his fruit course and he showed his extra activity in the Portuguese Club by being elected president in his second class year.

He wasn't any danger to star men, but he didn't have too much trouble, either. Len will probably go back with the wild blue yonder boys as a second lieutenant. :Ia 338
