N Zi gvndz. gk Wwkawwe COMPANY OFFICER A and Assistant to FIRST LIEUTENANT - .5 ' E EIGHTH COMPANY We were a pretty high spirited bunch. We played hard when we played, we worked hard when we worked, but we felt that this ver- satility was a requisite to being a good officer. We weren't the most brilliant company in the Regiment, but we had our share of star men. We weren't the most regulation gang around, but we did produce a five striper. We weren't the greatest athletes, but the captain of the basketball team was one of our members, and we had representa- tives in most of the other varsity and battalion sports. We weren't the ratiest company, either, although we were on every O. O. D.'s umustn list after three of our members omitted, in their plans for a weekend in Baltimore, one small item, i. e., obtaining permission. We can't say that we weren't the best looking men in the Regiment C just look at us D, nor can we say that we didnat drag the best looking girls, so we will abandon our modesty in discussing those two things! Between the toils, tears, and travails of our academic and military life here, we had fun and were able to laugh often, and this is going to make us better ofhcers and men.

'f been named for one of them. Soon known for his high ideals and sincerity, he went about Naval Academy life with zest, learning the proper use oft happy hours and the fine art of increasing his production of letters and keeping up on studies at the same time. Recreation hours found him tackling with enthusiasm any sport that appealed to him. His great moment always came when he shoved off on leave to make the long trek to San Diego, where his heart belonged to a young lady of the Golden West. - .,-.vQ,.,- la-.1-7?-r f- .,..

Three years at Annapolis hasn't changed his mind. He A- successfully eluded the academic board without too Inuch strain. He didn't allow text books to cut into his time for sleeping and reading cow- boy stories. Nor did training for wrestling prevent his consumption of canteen chocolate bars. Five minutes of each night was delegated to carefully crossing off the days 'till leave and graduation. Although outwardly rough and tough, Doug was sensitive to music. He amassed an impressive stock of low down records-anything with a drum in it. But he also had an intellectual ear for the classics. When asked plebe year what his favorite opera was, he promptly answered, The Metropolitan Opera, Sir. Varsiy PVre.rl!ing 4, 3, 7,' Batlalibn Wrestling 4. X-.
