STEPHEN EMERSON SARGENT Wilder, lermont Steve came to the Academy after a short time in the fleet and the Naval Prep School at Bainbridge. Me had two passions sailing and submarines. The first earned him a command on the Royono, and the second a sub cruise at Hawaii. He was a member of the Drum and Bugle Corps and participated in gym, handball, and steeplechase. Steve’s big desire was to spend a week on the Long Trail in the hills of Vermont. His hard work and hustle earned him a stellar academic standing. Straightforwardness and fair play made him re- spected by all who knew him. LOUIS GENE SASSO Clinton. Indiana (Idle must he lauded for his ceaseless, though often fruitless, battle to up- hold the name and reputation of Rose Polytechnic Institute, where for two years he studied chemical engineering before accepting an appointment to the Naval Academy. I lading from a small town just north of Terre Haute. Indiana, he claims the honor of being the second man ever to graduate from the Naval Academy from that town. This, he will assure you. is no small accomplishment. Addicted to Russian composers, oysters, and lacrosse. Gene will probably be best remembered for his performance in the latter capacity, though his ability to consume large amounts of oysters on the half-shell has become well-nigh legendary. ROBERT JOSEPH SCANLON Alliance, Ohio Boh came to the Naval Academy via the Naval Prep School at Bainbridge after serving two years in the Navy. He had taken in a good deal of the Pacific in his travels, and quite naturally, settled with ease on the Severn scene. When- ever the opportunity presents itself, however, he is among the first to hustle back to his home state of Ohio. While at the Academy. Boh was a member of the Plebe Fencing Team. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing the piano or a good workout in the gym. Bob’s own trade mark is a friendly greeting and a warm Irish smile. 375

ROBERT JOHN SAMPSON Birmingham, Michigan I o all that knew Hob by his nickname, Swifty. it must have seemed quite ironical, as Hob was quite the opposite from being fast. Soft spoken and gen- erally gentle in manner. Hob, nevertheless, always was ready to add a comment to the discussion at hand. A sports enthusiast from the word go. which may have been derived from his basketball and football days in Royal Oak High School. Hob took an interest in sports as though he was actually competing. No matter what Hob endeavored, you could rest assured that it would be ac- complished with the utmost skill and proficiency. That’s as much a part of Ins nature as his after dinner cigarette. HUGH PORTER SAMS Ft. Sam Houston. Texas Hugh was born at Fort Henning, Georgia, so it can be easily surmised that he is an Army Hrat He broke the family tradition, however, by deciding to pursue a career in the Nav During the fall months of his years at the Acad- emy. lie could be found running on bis company's cross country team, and in the spring he competed as a half miler on the Varsity Track Team. In the field of academics, math was Hugh’s strong point and great love. Quite often one could find him wrestling with a difficult differential equation, for sheer en- joyment” he used to say. MARIO EDWAROO SANCHEZ-CARRION Lima, Feru Always ready with a smile and a helping hand for the poor mids who had Latin American sweethearts but could not translate their letters, Mario was a source of constant enthusiasm for anything female, fancy, or frolicsome. An excellent soccer player for his Hattalion and company teams, he also showed proficiency in the less strenuous, but equally skillful, table tennis. He was a natural for company parties and always in demand with his lithe dancing exhibitions and the liberal songs he sang in accompaniment. When the going got tough. Mario just smiled but really bore down to find a good solution. I’eru has much to be proud of in her representation at the Academy in the person of Mario. 374

ROBERT ASHTON SCHADE. JR. Hast Rockauay, New York Bob came rhrough the pearly gates directly from high school in Hast Rock- away. Most of his free time was taken up by the Musical Club Show and the Choir. His pleasing voice was familiar to the entire Brigade, for he was always selected to sing solos with these groups. Kxcept for a short spell during youngster year. Bob was ready to drag at any time, and was always a wel- come addition to any party. Despite his pessimistic views toward academics, he always managed to come out wearing stars. Not affected by his successes, lie remained the same friendly person who was always ready to help. JOHN ELLIS SCHAEFER Strafford-IP ay ne, Pennsylvania Making the jump from Lower Merion High School to the Academy did not appear to bother Jack in the least, for he has maintained a star average throughout his four years. Considering athletics, however, the name Schaefer suggested to Sick Quarters- something worse than an epidemic or a plague. Regardless of these many injuries. Jack—occasionally dubbed Otto Graham managed to hit .4(H) for the Plebe Baseball Team, to play Varsity Baseball, and to quarterback Navy’s inveterate National Champion 150 lb. Football Team. This son of the Philadelphia Main Line made it evident that he didn’t take life’s problems too seriously. ROBERT GEORGE SCHATZ Scotch Plains. New Jersey When Bob left Penn State and made his way to the banks of the Severn, the Brigade acquired another character. It has been said that the Academy builds characters, and here it had a wealth of material to work with. Well liked by those who knew him. he could always be counted on for a few laughs. Bob liked most sports, and was a fairly proficient participant himself. His favorite sport, however, was sacking out.” His hobbies were few but worthwhile; namely women and liberty. Coming from the Jersey asphalt jungles, which his wives jokingly accused of being the home of gang wars, switch blades, and phosphorus grenades, he couldn’t help but acquire the nickname of “the Jersey Hood.”
