It wasn't long before his positive personality and snappy comebacks for everything had him well oriented among his classmates. His activities were varied, consisting mostly of athletics, dragging, and bull-sessions, with equll stress on each. Not heavy enough for varsity sports he competed in a variety of company sports doing well in all. Mac's crowning achievement, for which he shall be long remem- bered is his uncanny ability to keep away from the Pap Sheet.

Q, Ar- .. we until Kurf,' came into our midst three years ago. Whether the fabulous E tales of that village on the outskirts of Chicago are fallacy or fact, we'll never know, but Dave's record at the Academy speaks well for the community. The rough road of academics was no problem for the Kid, and he had ample time to devote to his three loves-snakes, letters, and boogie Woogie. Being a lady,s man with all its trials and tribulations, the Face withstood the most trying of circumstances, a record of four CIS chits in as many days, with a hearty smile and a fresh load in his pipe. Good luck, Kurf, and don't ever lose that self-satisfied grin. j. Vafsiyv Basketball 4, 3, '45 NA,' Compmyf Representative 3, 7, Stars 4. Qohn Cartel! Loveday ' MIDDLESBORO, KENTUCKY Jake is the German .ravoir who treats the word mamma with tenderness and affec- t . tion. Procrastination is one of his most charming traits, for he has mastered the art of taking a light strain on life. Even the rigid routine of the Naval Academy V has not cramped his style, for he can casually sit down and light up another cig- arette after the formation bell has rung. Long John is the type of fellow who- would do anything in the world to help a classmate. Because of his charitable nature there are several of us who can give thanks to jake's aid when we at last grasp that coveted sheepskin.

His telling a story Al brought with him many wild tales of if w Pl- about the Russian River reminded us of his proud heritage. A1's boxing ability soon made him a favorite of the crowd, many of us owe our pugilistic skill to his patient coaching. Sailing the ketches, and running them aground, took up most of his Youngster year. Bow and anchor chain soundings were Al's specialty. To him a meal without four cups of j ava wasn't Worth eating. The academics did not present too many difficulties, but Al worked hard at whatever he undertook. As a result, Al should have many days of smooth sailing.

Fresh from high school, Rochester generally found those gold stars just out of reach, but if you ever wanted to know where to draw that line in steam or how to solve that juice prob, he was always ready to help you. Although he could claim to be an ace goldbrick after spend- ing a half of youngster year watching the nurses at the hospital before the doctors fixed him up, he still came back the same happy fellow. Bob was a generous friend and a fine roommate who always knew the right way to fix everything. Cross Cczmny 4, 517565 Model Club 3,' .Newman Club 4, 3, 7.

On June 13 1941 the U. S. S. President Tcy't docked at San Francisco to bestow upon America the pride of the Philip- pines, Serge Castro. At first we thought he wouldn't get this stuffj' but before long he ugot' more than we did, yet was ever ready to share it with us. We often called him The Kid,', but he is a better man than many of us for all his 5' 4 g he proved that with stars on his collar. Many Filipinos have gone before Serge and many may follow him, but never will the Philippines produce a better all-around guy. From the Academy he goes into the Army Air Corps until he is ready to take back what has been taken away from him. j. VH7'Jl.Ul Soccer 3, 7, '45,' Battalion Soccer 4,' Battalion Bowling 35 Stars 4.
