Well, more or less- always ready to participate in all school activities, as his record indicates. This corner is particularly appreciative of his work as an ad solicitor for the yearbook. He was not above a little horse-play now and thenfask the Pearl Diver's Gang. A business student, Dieckman plans to enter the financial iield. Good fellow, actor, and all-round athlete. .-S! Y Donald H. Forbes DQn Company B. Sure, I'm gonna drag. Don is our lanky, pun-throwing comrade. A New London native, Don's specialty is dancing, and, from various re- ports, he has enough gals on the string to fill up every night in the month. A little cynical on why one should delve into the mysteries of education, he dislikes studying, but reluc- tantly complies to the iaculty's demands. Loves to sail, and has a catboat of his own. Success to you, Don, and a long, happy life.

Hugo hails from the shores of Rhode Island, but he's more likely to be found sailing the seas. A fisherman by nature, it's not his fault that he dreams of the rolling Waters during classes. He's the best tackle this side of the Rockies, too, even though a bad ankle hampered his season. We shouldn't become serious over a fellow like the Dutchman, but his amiableness and natural kindness make him tops in our book. Chosen most popular. Clifton M. Cooley Cliff, Charley Business. Company C5 Football '37, Class Master-at-Arms '37, How many e's in Mississippi? Cliff is a loyal cadet, winter and summer. Occasionally, his Ford and roving spirit get the best of him., and it's off to Washington Where things are pretty lively, We hear. A good meal doesn't discourage him a bit, in fact, try to fill him up. Congenial personalities accompany good appetites, and Cliff' has both. If you ever wanted anything done, Cliff was a volunteer. An excellent Watch Officer, too. X x V , it , 1 P an

Not a sinner, not a saint, perhaps-but the very best of chaps. His playful pranks will live in our memories. Dick is an all-round athlete, for his ability to mix sports and studies is accountable for the success he is going to be when he gets into the Coast Guard Academy. His regular features-voted the most handsome -will get the gals, but he'll be true to that one back in Manchester.
