Edward lllarhurger ifllioil GREENSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA Wi -,'. Big Ed, or Big Rat,', coming to the Academy fresh out of high school, de- cided that, along with academics, he would take up football, wrestling, and track. Ed's hopes of making a second star for the N he won in football Youngster year were broken when he was taken off the first team and sent to the hospital with a knee injury. Although Ed claimed he was being true to his O. A. O. back in Greensburg, he managed to get in his share of dragging and woliing-mostly wolfing-on week- ends. Ed hopes to go to Sub school after he gradu- ates, and then get out there and see what a sub- marine can do. ,.g1l,-1 Foolball 4, 3, 1, Nb 3,- Track 4, 3, 7. tflanley Gllarvin wiflfh EAST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY 'tiff Nick, as he is known to the boys, was as non-reg as they come. The elaborate bell system of Bancroft Hall served only i I-FQ to inform Nick of what everybody else was going to do. If it suited his fancy, he would go to formation with skag and all. Contrary to the general rule, Nick tamed down somewhat begin- ning with First Class summer. The great trans- formation may be traced back to East Orange and Natalie. Despite his non-reg tendencies, Nick had his serious moments. These were Hlled with writing to Natalie and keeping his fourteen plebes on the ball. The future holds great things for this swell couple. ' Swimming 1l,' Portuguese Club 3. george Theodore Sfinnegan, ir. MILTON, MASSACHUSETTS When energy and ability were being ,V . . .,: , -... passed out, Ted received many times the ..,,--.K1-A --- normal share, and he slighted neither studies, nor athletics, nor social life in distributing his surpluses. Two years at Harvard matured him and gave him the depth of character necessary to take the Academy life in easy stride, and his excellent class standing now starts him off toward becoming one of our finest naval ship- builders of tomorrow. A wonderful sense of humor and an unequaled sincerity are only two of the attributes that gained for him a host of friends. Ted has measured the true values of life and of the Navy, and his course in the future can lead only to the top. .l 1 .5 s. f:'!:v2.'f-'I-I-1 ' LJ.

A long train ride after the Ring Dance changed his rogue's gallery from women to race horses. His faith isn't completely gone, however, for the mem- ory of a certain Virginian rebel still haunts him. Beyond owning racing silks his main ambition is to be a big shot politician. His obsession for music centers mainly around Rhapsody in Blue, but he'll live dangerously if he doesn't play a sweeter and softer trumpet. Somewhere thereis a million dollars, and this guy wants it. Qolln Duff ir. ROWAYTON, CONNECTICUT 771, John came to the Naval Academy fresh from a year's exposure to a large univer- It sity, and in so doing gratihed the wish of 3 'fr a lifetime. He is a man of many words, lapsing into a broad Scotch burr upon the slightest provocation. He is a powerhouse athlete whenever he can gather energy to walk to the gym or to the athletic field. He has had numerous affairs of the heart, but so far has emerged unscathed. A wonder- ful fellow to have around, his roommate feels that he is lucky to have known John, and knows that his wholehearted love of the Navy will make John a valuable officer aboard ship.

His marks of an educated man come from the schools he's been to and the books he's read, and his color comes from the people he's seen around the Big Town. Some of those marks have not yet been made, true, but what he lacks in finesse he makes up in genuineness. Take him or leave him, there's no front-I'l1 take him. Basketball 4.

grealerick tfassfer gore UPPER MARLBORO, MARYLAND It is usually quite easy to pick out the various types in the class. There are of course the Simon Legreesj' Caspar Milquetoastsf' et al. Fred is a little more lt to classify, but if he must fit into a category, he would be considered the Alexander cott.

He's a little slow getting his guess-rod values to agree with the gouge, or multiples thereof, but thereis nothing wooden about him when it comes to taking care of Ferro or his shekels.

Sailing being his favorite sport, he was one of the first in our class to utilize the Acad- emy's craft for the delightful two-fold specialty of dragging and sailing. An expert at finding the loveliest girls on the continent, Roy has his class- mates wondering how long after graduation he will maintain his bachelor status.

One of the leading members of the IMI Unsat Boys' Club, Ed doesn't attribute success in this field to excessive study, for he was usually in a supine position rest- ing for the next encounter with the academic de- partments, though it was never any effort for him to foil the prof in their attempts to baHCle him. A clever, aggressive fighter, Ed spent most of his afternoons in the gym perfecting his boxing style. His ambition is to find ajap on some island in the South Seas who weighs 135 pounds.
