:Richard goseph Cooke ATPIENS, TENNESSEE f A true son of the South and of T. M. I. l I . a Cookie wasted no time in making a host 'C ' of friends at the Academy. Tall, blonde, E and blue-eyed, he was at once popular with the Eastern girls. Slow and easy-going, he doesn't worry about anything too much, and he Figures that everything will work out in the long run. Though inclined to be reserved and unassum- ing, Dick was rated high as striper materialg he always performed his duties efliciently. Far from being one of the world's best spellers, he frequently got lost on his own name, although that of his home town gave him very little trouble.

Weber! flllalcolm Sforlsnn, ir. JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA gohn Walrick Cullen FULDA, MINNESOTA - ' Left a widower at the end of Plebe year, Pat joined us at the beginning of Young- ster year and soon learned to play bridge and to take advantage of his spare Ino- ments to catch up on his sleep. A born pessimist, he worried constantly about bilging, but when the grades came out his marks were always written in blue ink. A blind drag Plebe June Week took away his heart and left him more worries. Pat's radiant smile when a letter came from Holyoke was some- thing to behold. Not that he wasn't true to the far-away O. A. O., but you have to pass those long weekends away somehow, and dragging some- one from nearby is the best way. EL.: '55 its ,gi -f f, qi? Ballalian Crew 4, 3, 75 German Club 3. A broad smile and a cheery yessuh made Sugah,' a marked Inan from the beginning. He began his Plebe year by lf.l:i,-ff'Z-l singing the Marion Fight Song, and ended the year trying to convince the Yankees tha the South was the better part of the nation. Lik all drawling Southerners, he is quick to tell us how Sherman retreated through Georgia, and slow to tell his secret of success with the fairer sex. As a sailing expert, he won a berth on the sailing team' as a Bull,' student he conquered an almost insurj mountable obstacle. Sugar made friends quickly always gave a hand to one in trouble, and kept hid eye on the path to the sea. Varsigf lflfraslling 3, 7, w1l5t,' Slar Sailing 3, 7,' Ma.rqucrarler: fl, 3, 7,' Boat Club 7.

He is self-reliant in solving all problems, especially those concerning the fair sex. His jovial nature is demonstrated by his flair for comics and humorous shorts, in particular The Super Rabbit. If you ever hear anyone asking a plebe what the cartoons playing at the movies in town are, you can bet your sea boots it is Rojo.', Red is not only an active participant in athletics, but also an ardent follower of the sports pages. This fighting Irishman from Catholic Cen- tral gave us a new line on sportsmanship. Having a zest to win mixed with the pure enjoyment of competition, Red was a fine teammate. jf.

-M. Charles Trunk Qraal CARNEGIE, OIQLAIIOMA One of the first things Chuck did upon arriving at the Academy was to dip his hand in the salty Chesapeake. Going to school in New Mexico and living in Okla- makes one yearn for the sight of water. Even a cruise and three years of matching wits with Academic departments, he still vows that swab- decks is a lot better than playing nursemaid a troop of cavalry horses. After heroically over- innumerable obstacles and temptations, he displays his coveted red HRQ' which makes harter member of the Red Mike Club.

Better T none than one, so this character was given to the Navy. John Greengrass Grifiin, pride of Kansas City, a guy you'd like to wish off on l'il sis. Studious, sincere, those characteristics in a carefree soul make Greengrass a swell egg. Grill is so lucky that competitors don't even make him antel'g they know who is going to win.

C. 7 T After the Armageddon of plebe steam, the rest was play. Inlspite of Steve's insistence ll . I . ' M' ilgfp' afilll . . ,ls that he had bilged every recitation he attended, the profs kept him on the sunny side of 3.0. His philosophy that something is bound to turn up never failed him. With this outlook he faced the hazards of a midshipman's life:-late trains, ex- aminations, blind drags, and hidden D. Ofs. An ardent sailor, Steve was always happy when on one of the Academy's sailing craft. Even this happiness was transcended, however, when the boat was heading for a liberty port. If in search of excitement, one could find no better guide, his churning legs instinctively turned toward the brightest spot in town.
