A.F.A.,s Whois Who One day in late August 143 a new addition by the name of Gil Broome entered the Farragut Family. Almost immediately, Gil became one of the best known and well liked cadets. His participation in all varsity sports showed his fellow cadets his will to win, and most of all his keen sense of sportsman- ship. For these three years since. he has worked hard both on the drill field and as assistant and headwaiter and earned for himself the rank of Ensign. Cil,,7 though quiet at times, was found in many bull sessionsi' joking with and ribbing his fellow cadets. With his successful years behind him here at Farragut, we are sure that he will have a bright future ahead of him. Good luck, Gil, and smooth sailing in your future life.
