PAUL F. GANS The respect that we have for Paul’s uprightness was shown at the beginning of the year when he was elected to represent the second year class on the Honor Committee. Paul excels in other fields, too, for he has led the entire school academically this year. We hope that you get through Annapolis with flying colors, and when you drop anchor for the last time, your fame will be far-reaching. WILLIAM E. GRAY “Where’s Elmer?” Well, Elmer may be found in many places, especially in places where one finds girls. Elmer is quite a hand with the ladies. Another place he may be found is on the track field, While not a star performer, he is to be congratulated for his determination. This 1S splendid quality and we hope it will be rewarded in later life.

Let’s go!’ This is the familiar cry uttered by “Tommy” just before meals. He is in charge of the C. W. company, and this requires a lot of extra work.
