-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. The wolf never cares for his own girls, he says it is more fun to steal from his classmates. Someday .l cutie. Here's hoping all the brats will be girls.

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.

: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.

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.

gosepll grancis Tlolzbauer LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA 1 Six feet of sea-goin' Marine landed at the Naval Academy in 1941 with two years of service behind him. Although usually serious, he always enjoyed some fun even if something like his hair was the subject matter. At some time or other he tried every sport at the Academy, where his hard-working, hard-hitting nature served him well. joe, always true to the O. A. O., very seldom was seen at the weekend hops. He now leaves a great number of Navy friends, to return to his first love, the Marines, where, according to him, they still count cadence with a T our left-2-3-43' . I- lvl ,.,,.w.,..... ..

So it went during the week, and the following Satur- day would see Ted with a new drag. Easy going, friendly, and modest, he had that rare ability to turn acquaintances into friends with a modicum of effort. If his name happened to be in print on one of the academic bulletin boards, he would swear a bit and turn his thoughts once again to women. When Ted joins the Fleet, the morale of his ship should rise considerably, for when he is around,.one's troubles just naturally take a back seat. Battalion Puslzball 3,' Battalion Track 3, 7.' 'X 8 .

S. is a witty, debonair fellow with a leg-slapper . answer for every crack. His no strain attitude and natural good humor make ,F friends throughout the regiment. His room is always jammed with fellows chewing the rag or just enjoying the jolly atmosphere. Jim drags as often as possible, es cially to hops. The nickname, Lucky Jeemief' came from his obsession, bridge. His imita- tion of Quasimodo would get him the bellringerls job at Notre Dame. Strangers might think that the system has gotten another one, but hels always been that way, ask the folks back home in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Still, when itls necessary to work to stay sat, Jim digs right in.
