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.

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.

His natural liking for the Navy has not been killed by three years on the Severn. With the first Dago exam, Lennie'l put the French profs to work devising harder ones, but they never won. He liked athletics, with wrestling and football his special interests. Outdoing Dale Carnegie, Len- nie has had no 'difficulty making friends, and his loyalty and integrity have held them.

T answer was Wisconsin, and we've never been able to persuade him otherwise. Early in his Midshipman career he tried sailing, but gave it up in favor of the. Sub Squad. From his experiences on leave he has earned the title The World Voy- ager. Nevertheless, when leave is over, Dick is ready to settle down and do some conscientious studying. His good nature and carefree attitude have made him a popular member of our class.
