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.

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. 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.

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.

Chuck's abilities were many varied, and he tried his hand with no little ess at crew, football, boxing, and wrestling. emics never botheredhim, and the Exec rtment even saw fit to adorn his blue service three well-deserved stripes. Potentially a great , Chuck preferred a couple of good movies a few hours extra sleep to a drag, and besides, s a much more economical way of spending a end.

When a southern drawl, coupled with loud laughter, emanated from the third deck alley, the Arkansas Traveler was opening up. A Queen a Week was the Martin motto. Blessed with a brilliant mind and a gift for doing things the easy way, Doc's', study hour was short and his bunk drill long. Regardless of where Doc goes, his presence will be a welcome addition, and his friends will be many. flllaurize C.

A -W - true maniac and somewhat of a rugged individualist he escaped after a skirmish with the Academic departments and won the final battle. Although the weekends were tempting, he re- mained faithful to Bette for three long years by firmly believing that there is nothing wrong with him which his own nurse can't cure. He always seemed to find time to play squash and sail. Easily recognizable because of his short haircut and ever present pipe, Red Dog should get along fine in any man's Navy.

His favorite pastimes were re- viewing Bull and taking a ketch to Cambridge. Rog doesn't say much, but those who broke under his cover of dignity found a big heart and a real pal. It was on a cross-country date that Rog met the girl he had been looking for ever since he realized that half the world is feminine. Those who met Dottie can see why Rog canceled his reservations for bachelor's quarters. Boat Club 4, 3, 75 Foreign Language Club 4, 3.
