george fllialker Cogswell CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA Up from the land of cypress gardens and . ap , 1. ' you all came Bobo, straight from Clemson College. With him he brought an accent requiring an interpreter at times, a irm belief in the glories of Dixie, and a disposition and sense of humor that soon made him one of the best known and most popular men in his class. Both as a varsity player and battalion coach he proved his prowess as a football player, and he demonstrated his athletic versatility by becoming a point-getter on the battalion track team. Nothing worries Bobo Cnot even a few close scrapes with the academic departmentsj, and he not only loves a good time, but is usually able to provide one.

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.

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.

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.

Qonald Wulnam Curlis MARLBORO, MASSACHUSETTS In 1940 Don left Massachusetts, spent a year at Severn, and joined the Naval Reserve. When he was ordered to a training station- and notified to report to the Naval Academy at the same time, he chose the latter. Settling down to his Academy 2.44. life in which sleep, chow, and photography were his favorite pastimes, he still found enough time for company sports. Don only dragged often enough to convince himself that belonging to the Flying Squadron required too much effort. His quiet, easy-going manner, friendly smile, cheerfulness, and willingness were the characteristics that stood out the most when we thought of Don. - Ballalian Track 3. Waiver!

It was hard to decide which was more important to Jim, Cornell, Syracuse, or the Navy, but after three years the Navy has won out by a comfortable margin. He was the best possible roommate, a likable fellow, easy going, always willing to help out in a pinch, or to listen to someone's troubles. jim has a yen for light cruisers and with the one word that doesn't exist in his vocabulary Defeat, you can bet that he will get along. tion long Stllilliilg 4,' Lucky Bag 3. long enough for a change of uniforms for the next stage of the ndraggingi' routine!

Marine Corps Art is to all intents and purposes a Gyrene. His interests i1f3if'rl'iV7 at the Academy have centered about a serious intention to become a well-equipped fighter. Sketching gun mounts, stripping down weapons, planning beach landings and perusing infantry journals were ways of enjoying leisure hours. This seriousness of purpose .was occasionally amusing. On security watch one evening, he was stealthily tracking a would-be saboteur when a change of wind cleared Bill IX of this misnomer and inci- dentally saved his life. However, come this or any other incident Art will never lack confidence in his choice of profession. Varsigl Lacrorse 4, 3, '45g Battalion Crew 3, 7,' French Club 3.
