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.

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.
