Q. GL Brooks REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA , A tennis racket in his hand, a marine corps insignia on his bath robe, three stripes 'l' on his sleeve, or a smile on his face were sure signs of c'Uncle Don Brooks. Being E a star man, he had plenty of time for the varsity tennis team and correspondence with his 3 3 many friends. Hops held little attraction for Dong his motto was, Save yourself ' for the one that counts, ' and that s just what he did. A box of chow, some good records, and a magazine were the ingredients for Don's favorite Sunday afternoon recipe. He could always be relied upon to get the word and be in the right place at the right time, and that, I am sure, will include Tokio when the Marines Inarch through.

Always ready for a a frolic, or a light, Roy took academics in stride and was known for his judgment and of good will. The bulwark of the center of the line during Jotball season, he participated in both Battalion aotball and Company basketball, proving his mrowess as an athlete. Roy's love interest was in Alabama, and although me didn't drag much, he was in constant demand .s the life of the party. We'll all look forward to eeing him in the Fleet. Ballalimz Football 4, 3, 7.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA I Little did we know that this amiable lad , y ,,.,, ,- from sunny California would be setting thefcriterion by which our efforts would be judged, but we were soon to learn. In athletics as in academics, Brownie displayed a de- termination to excell that won him letters, stars, and the deep respect of his classmates. When he wasn't working out with the Harriers or solving extra problems in math, he could be found writing letters, playing his violin, or lending a helping hand to his less savvy classmates. His uncanny faculty for doing any job well will make him a valuable olhcer in the Fleet. Look while you can, this lad is going places.

HOQUIAM, WASHINGTON V , - I A happy-hour tonight, and Iive got the watch! -more than once did we hear I 33 this sad tale from the little man from the '-2: ',-- f' '--A 5 Northwest. A stickler for regularity, Joe had many orderly habits and adhered to them strictly. He spent most of his spare moments writing letters, somehow it took him two or three days to get a good one off. One of the original and authen- tic anti-dancers, he much preferred Mahan Hall to Dahlgren Hall on Saturday nights. His musical tastes ran to Schottisches rather than to swing. His calmness and level-headed manner mark him as a great thinker, and the Fleet will certainly gain an anchor to Windward when Bancroft Hall gives him up.

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.

george fllialker Cogswell CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA Up from the land of cypress gardens and . ap , 1. ' you all came Bobo, straight from Clemson College.

Entering the Academy from the Fleet, Bill was already a Navy man. His ambition was to become a good naval-officer. Throughout his stay at the Naval Academy, Bill kept this objective in mind. He was always full of energy and constantly on the go. He took an active part in intra-mural athletics and other extra- curricular activities. What he liked best, though, was a letter from Marge. His sense of humor and his ability to get along with people made him a welcome addition to any group. He is the kind of shipmate we all enjoyed having and hope to have again.
