will Qoehler BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 'r f, Bill came to the Naval Academy from the Marine Corps and brought with him all of the line qualities of a lighting man. His tastes are varied and include a genuine love for boxing and football as well as a strong desire to master anything of a military nature. Bill, known as the Corporal,' by his close friends, will certainly get to the top in his line of duty. His career has always been uppermost in his mind, although at times he breaks down and drags a beautiful creature to a hop or to a movie. Bill's winning smile and wonderful personality have made him one of the best liked in his class. Battalion Boxing 4,' Boxing 7, Model Club 4, 3. Richard -.fpaulding Tlodulon trunnel is?

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!

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.

ichard Dolan Ulerlziq SAN ANDREAS, CALIFORNIA Hookl' came from California, where it never rains, snows, or gets too hot. His pet peeves were Maryland weather and the system, which he considered to be f a diabolic scheme to make life miserable. gh Often at odds with the Inore mysterious ns of the Executive department, Dolan did everything he attempted, including his love and athletics. Dolan never took chances on ics, and as a result he usually surprised f when he saw his grades. His habit of not g loose ends extends to all of his fields of en- , and his natural conscientious attitude l make him a fine ollicer. Any job Dolan ill be one well done.

DETROIT, MICIiIGAN 737 To his more intimate friends, Connie A A I is known as Lefty or Lacrosse-Stick Grovef' Always ready for a party, his ex- ceedingly high spirit more than upheld the morale of the 8th Company. He was a member of the Plebe Lacrosse Team, played a fair game of tennis and possessed much innate but dormant athletic ability. The Detroit Tigers are tops with Lefty, and it breaks his heart when they wind up in the second division. Happy, carefree, and never in want of friends or companions, he will make a successful officer in his chosen profession. 3 Lacrosse 4, 3, 7. I I l 1 l Qlexunder Qulian, ir.

Dur- ing Plebe year Alex pushed to the front and held that position throughout the course. 'Captain of the Gym team, a star man for the Aca- demic Course, and Regimental Commander are just a few of his achievements at the Academy. Although Academy life was no strain for Alex, it was not so with the women. He turned from the home town girl to models, coeds, and to secretaries, but, still he found no O. A. O. A little on the serious but with a sense of loyalty, courage, and duty, Julian is coveted as a friend and shipmate.
