N Qlfied .Quguslus lawyer PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS g Born in Venezuela, little Gus was taken at an early age to the Lone Star State where he proceeded to attain the tradi- tional height of six feet one. Port Arthur, though reputed to be mostly under water, at least afforded Gus an ever present view of the sea, with the result that he finally joined the crew on the Severn. Gus had a hand in several sports including football and crew, but his favorite was swimming, at which he was no amateur. On the other hand, his natural Texas laziness made him an expert at horizontal engineering. Gus hopes to enter the submarine branch of our Navy. Best of luck, and may you surface to a long and- prosperous career. P+ Swimming 4, 5455 Battalion Football 4, 7,' , Battalion Crew 3,' Boat Club 4, 3,1 Radio Club 3, 7g Reception Corrzrnittee 4.

He was always quick to an- alyze a given situation and in an argument, stuck by and often proved his point. Although no varsity star, Ralph was very active in intramural athletics. He is the kind of man any one will like as a ship- mate. We'll be looking forward to many happy meetings with you in the Fleet, Ralph. Battalion Football 4, 3,5 Track 4.
