Fred is a little more lt to classify, but if he must fit into a category, he would be considered the Alexander cott. I-Iis vitriolie remarks and apt similes ost hilarious-provided, of course, you are n the receiving end. With words, however, mile ends, for Punchy,' easily dominated ld in featherweight boxing and cross-country. ier he was forced into these sports because barbed tongue I could not say. No expert in sport, I hope to remain well clear of his entanglements. Woberl flljhealley gerrln CHEROKEE, IOWA ' ' An I'm from Missouri-prove it! man ever since he found out about Santa, Ferro,' was slated for a Radiator Squad E N during his first winter Cand he's one of the few men on the squad who really sits a radi- atorj. 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. Although he has been the best of bedroom companions-a little hard to humor when he puts his jaw out, I admit-I ean't predict what kind of an asset to the Fleet he'll be-Ilkinda' think heill get along.

K.'s afhnity for hard work but those who have closely observed him know that he is aiming at the Stars. f ' Being attached to the Navy by a paternal bond, Roy's days at the Academy were a happy continuation of the life he was already well ac- quainted with. 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.

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.

Tuul Qlllalllaeuf lleavy, ir. JACKSON, MICHIGAN A tum What part of the South are you from, f Mister?', The southern part of Michigan, Sirf, It was an answer that was at least different. While maintaining the reputa- tion of the southern half of the north country, 'cGospell' kept alive the reputation of the north- woods hunters. A crack shot, he spent the winters with the Rifle Team, energetically moving first linger right hand while comfortably lying down. Louie was best known as a horizontal athlete- shootin' and sack drill-but still found time for a little track, volley ball, and cross country, and a nightly letter to the O. A. O. Paul's instinctive knowledge of machinery and ready perception will stand him well wherever he goes.

Easygoing and pleasant, he was a good roommate, even on Monday mornings. Potentially a Casanova, he dragged only once in a blue moon but was always willing and able to furnish Blackie and the other wolves with 4.0 drags. In Spence the coaches lost a promising soccer and lacrosse player when he left his knee cap on Lawrence Field one afternoon. With the enviable ability of accomplish- ing the maximum with a minimum of time and effort, he usually had the Academic departments begging for mercy. Consider yourself lucky if you draw Spence for a shipmate. 'viral' A ,wg 3. , . '.H1.,.Y Soccer 4, Lacrosse 4. flliilliam TL flllclfaughlin, ir.

A ready smile and a quiet sense of humor characterized him in his many sports and varied activities. He quickly learned that there was no such thing as an insurmountable task, and someday he'll satisfy his desire to meet the peoples in all corners of the earth. Mads versatility and natural affability made association with him a real pleasure. Those who knew him could ask for no better friend, and the Navy could ask for no better oflicer.
