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.

Even life at the Academy couldn t III- ?9 i'ii , faze the nonchalance of the easy-going, short man. Evenings were for study:-after the nightly letter to the kid back home. 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.

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.

P- ya P Cameron tfevier, ir. BELZONI, Mississippi Lfzlfigi It was a big step for Shot when he came from Belzoni to the Academy, but only geographically. Except for putting on shoes, he took it all in stride. Before Plebe Summer was over, he could even carry on a con- versation with a damyankee without an inter- preter. A star man, Shot had more trouble in the line of la femme than in math, bull, physics, or chem. He did not, however, let his women troubles keep him from earning his spot on the football team or from sufliciently impressing the Executive Department with his general aplomb and adequacy of decibels to rate his four stripes.

He had a smile that just won't wait, and bedroom eyes to boot. These, combined with that hair and those jiving feet could have gotten him any number of sweet young things. He had to carry a club to beat them off. CWith all this practice he was a natural for lacrossel. Why such a snake should be savvy too was a hard one to figure out, but there he was-something that women dream about and men wish they were like.

A weekend never passed that we didn't find him dragging. He looked upon athletics as being detrimental to his already tremendous physique. Bill often found himself in difficulties with the Academic Departments but proudly emerged as one of the few men in history to complete the six- year course in four years. He turned to on the pro- fessional subjects but passed up the non-professional as nonessential. A Navy Junior with much to live up to, we expect Bill to carry on the Well established Traynor traditions.
