Qouglar tfewerance Gllaflcay EVANSTON, ILLINOIS Eat, sleep, and pull a long, steady stroke was Doug's version of the old saying. His best ergs were expended for Plebe crew, and therefore he didn't quite star. He did, however, cinch a future place in the varsity boat. Academics came easy to him, and so when the plea went out for extra effort, he corn- plied by starring for the duration. His greatest satisfaction came from playing a grand slam or out-mathing the math profs, and his only worry was trying to stay awake in bull and juice classes. His personality, character, keen mind, and leader- ship qualities made him an admirable shipmate and friend. His is sure to be a happy ship. Varsly Crew 4, 3, 7, '45, Nj Spanish Club 3, 7,' Stars 3.

Bill entered Academy life, and he entered with the idea of fighting the Academic Departments. To hear him, one would think he was bilging, but the final grades showed that the Dutchman had things well under control. First Class year brought out the liberty hound in him- sans the snake. Bill was, however, far from a Red Mike in the Keystone State. Other aspects of Academy life called him too. Whether swimming lap after lap, or wallowing in the mud of a push- ball game, he was always met with the cheers and encouragement of his teammates. We'll keep cheer- ing for you, Bill.

C., Hal came to the country club on the Severn, Bancroft Hall. His main arn- J bition, that of wearing a Naval Academy ring, has been realized. Whatever he did he did in a big way, as his intramural sports' opponents quickly found out. When it came to dragging, he not only led the field but also played it. He liked them all, blondes, brunettes, and redheads, and the feelings were mutual. Variety, evidently, is the spice of life. Equally at home on an athletic field, in a bull session, or at a social function, he made a host of friends and will continue to do so.

Richard Qavis .feel Los ANGELES, CALIFORNIA .ff .5 Young Loeln came out of the Far West ready to take over the Naval Academy. ' gj Whenever he was able to corner a hapless 2'5 listener he would discuss the beauties of his native California for hours. If anyone wanted to find him the place to look was behind a cloud of synthetic glamour made up of pictures of beau- tiful women and hot records. His study hours were spent chewing on his pipe and trying to convince himself that They can't expect us to know all this stuff. Whenever Dick had a run in with the Executive Department he managed to convince himself that he was right. Unfortunately he still took his fraps. Battalion Handball 4, 3. Charles Wriesi, ir. CARSON CITY, NEVADA , While just a small boy out on the desert of Nevada, Chuck had a desire to come to the Naval Academy. After living on the desert for twenty years, the great open sea did not scare him, and he wanted to become a naval officer. Never a member of the radiator squad, Chuck could always be found out for foot- ball or track during the afternoons. On the week- ends his pet diversion was dragging a Washington brunette. As a three striper he also kept himself busy trying to improve the 10th company. In the 'future Chuck can be counted on to be in there pitching on one of Uncle Sam's subs. A Football 11.

If his ventures into the realm of pugilism had not been cut short by an unfortunate habit of striking his opponent severely on the fist with his own nose, Ham might someday have developed into another Jack Dempsey or Joe Louis. Henry's meeting Marge curtailed his career as a snake, fortunately for his friends. If he can be kept well supplied with chow, Hankls conscientious effort will help him to an outstanding naval record.

Charles Edgar Rolla, ir. READING, PENNSYLVANIA Long, lazy, tow-headed Chuck Roth,'- that and many other things his classmates called him, but don't let the 'flazvl' fool you. He did lots of good work without seeming busy. At the same time he was dealing them out or making the rounds of the deck looking for chow, he was standing high on the list of stars. Chuck was a pretty fair athlete in battalion sports too, even though his nonchalance followed him there. His nonchalance was forsaken semi-annually though, when it came to Chuck's real field of ex- cellence, a few weeks leave spent in Philadelphia and Reading, the scenes of his earlier and more carefree days.

Mail out yet, Mate? -Urs was always there to draw down more than his share of the correspondence and chow boxes. Every afternoon found the big, little man in there scrapping to hold down his spot in Bn squad football, basketball, or baseball. The same sports loving, genial spirit that won Bud a host of friends at Annapolis will see him through after graduation.

Almost any afternoon, happy hour, or even study hour Stooperman could be found flaked out on his sack with the Post. But during football season he was a rugged tackle on the Batt. team. His ready smile and pleasing per- sonality were always welcome, he was never at a loss for drags, could sing a swell harmony, and his let's deal 'em outn was the start of many a bridge game. Stoop had lots of common sense and enough savvy so that academics neverworried him. As he once said, Maybe I didn't stand one, but at least I had fun.
