N .Qi muah. 61 Qneflz COMPANY OFFICER ' SEVENTH COMPANY Surrounding the stamping grounds of Bill IX rose the yells of the Fightin' Thirteenth during the summer of '41, testing for the Army game. In those days no one knew that we would end up in another company where even our company officer came to refer to us as the Fightin' Seventh. Wherever there's a fighting spirit there is usually a singing spirit too. We sang our little ditties about Black Tom, and house-maid's knee often and vociferously whether in the mess hall, in our rooms, or marching to class out of range of the D. O. Along with the fun went some good performances. Third in the Regimental Flag competition Plebe year, second Youngster year, we're aiming for a bull's eye this year. Our company produced no headliners in either academics or athletics-we struck a happy medium, with representatives in nearly every activity from the sub-squad to varsity football. Except for our non-reg section formations where we sang, goose-stepped, got the last minute dope on class, and often double- timed under the surveillance of the O. O. W., the spirit of fellowship and fraternity was ever-present, even at the Hops where our drags were almost as much a part of the happy company as we were.

HOUSTON, TEXAS Q When this Texan breezed into the Naval Academy, he brought with him a trumpet X! . and, in his album, ample proof of the famed beauties of his state. Although his musical tendencies fell by the wayside, for which we all may thank the Fates, his collection of photo- graphs constantly increased. Claude remained staunch in his faithfulness to the Texas girls, but he was broadminded enough not to let this inter- fere with his social life at the Academy. Alex's ability to inhale the essence of histext books was excelled only by his fondness for sack drills. But for this favorite sport, there might have been one more name on the roll of honor.

'WT After a year at Marion Institute, Hank was well prepared for anything, military 12 or academic. He worked on the theory A that the sooner a job was finished, the sooner he could go to sleep. Bridge, good music, and current reading occupied most of his recrea- tion hours. The only way to rouse Hank's temper was to sing, or even make reference to a certain marching song about Georgia in the Civil War. Even the lowliest plebe could come to him for protection from a 'fdamyankeefi As a roommate, he was tops, always agreeable, and willing to for- feit a little sleep to help 'a less savvy', buddy.

Although not a direct descendant bf the original witch hangers, Ray came here full of the traditions of New England. His philosophy of life was based on two fundamental truths: Boston b of the universe,', and The only good Democrat is a dead one. Some of us dis- agree with Muley', on these points, but we think of him as one of the best. When the time comes for Admiral Bates to retire, we'll look for him in the midst of Bay State politics.
