ASHER SEIP. JR. Easton, Pennsylvania Ash came to the Naval Academy after spending a year at Lafayette College. It was not long before he had made a name for himself as a person who could succeed under any conditions. Along with his equanimity. Ash was gifted with a rare sense of good judgement. Fancying himself a business man, he was al- ways willing to give advice on financial matters, especially those pertaining to the stock market. Known for his knowledge of sports cars, aircraft and motor- cycles. Ash looked forward to the day when he could gain actual experience in these fields. Perhaps this fascination for speed was an expression of his belief that no time should he wasted. RICHARO WILLIAM SHAFER Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin W isconsinites don’t come any more loyal than Dick. He was constantly talking of his home state, and the year he spent at a Wisconsin State Teacher’s College. Dick proved his capabilities by doing very well in academics, and by being a consistent winner in Batt. wrestling and track. He spent practically as much time helping others as he put in on his own subjects. However, study- ing was only a week day occupation. When the week-end came, he enjoyed escorting his drag to athletic events and hops. She was always from Washing- ton. but it was your guess as to which girl it was. JOHN JOSEPH SHANLEY. JR. Brooklyn, New York Jack considered himself very lucky to come from that strange land called Brooklyn. He was a typical Brooklynite, even down to that boxer-like stride. His ability to always look at the brighter side of things was a quality we all envied. Football and basketball were the sports Jack enjoyed most, and he could handle himself equally well in both. Big and energetic, he was ever hustling to get the job at hand, done as best he could. When it came to drag- ging. Jack figured the best idea was to show the place to as many females as possible. In fact, variety was the spice of his life. UNITED STATES 384

RICHARD GEORGE SHEWCHUK Port Jervis. New York lo those who tlul not know him well. Shew seemed shy and reserved; but to his friends his personality made him a person whom they were happy to know. Mis athletic ability earned him fame from Port Jervis to Crabtown. I'he Port Jervis Union Gazette still longs for a fullback with a small fraction of the ability Shew had during his days in high school. Injuries kept fame from him on the Navy gridiron, but, nevertheless, his name on any company team roster increased the sports manager's confidence. Shew's recovery from those injuries proved that you can’t keep a good man down. RICHARD THOMAS SHIGLEY Asheville, North Carolina A Naval Reservist, Dick spent a year at the University of North Carolina and then found himself called to active duty. Playing the glockenspiel in the Drum and Bugle Corps, managing Varsity Crew, and occasional dragging took up Dick’s free time. I le loved good music, with the accent on the classics. Dick had. perhaps, the single distinction of being the only midshipman ever to attend a pep rally in a laundry bag. Known around the halls of Bancroft for his own particular brand of buffoonery. Dick possessed that enviable quality of allowing nothing to render a departure from his capricious vet serious philosophy of life. JAMES STUART SHILLINGLAW Oakmont, Pennsylvania Stomping down from Oakmont, Pennsylvania came the “Law” as Jim is sometimes called. A year at Bullis and he was ready for better things; I'he United States Naval Academy. At the Academy, although one of the best shots on the rifle team. Jim was best known for his ability to work hard and stick to a job. He enjoyed most sports, and his rangy build coupled with deter- mination made him a good wrestler and cross country man. Jim also enjoyed running Plebes and insuring that they received a fair share of professional knowledge before embarking on cruise. 3 $6
