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.

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.

flllerrill Edwin flliagner RIQEVILLE, IOWA , , u ,kgilfrl Wag left his Iowa farm one bright spring morning headed for Great Lakes. Two years later he turned up at the Academy, , . J, a veteran of sea duty on a battlewagon of the Pacific Fleet. He excelled in side-horseplay on the gym squad Plebe year and made his bat- talion debating team. Later he took his turn at company wrestling. Romantically, Wag was a gambler. He escorted sight-unseen more times than a cat has lives, but Dame Fortune was always his gracious lady. His brick-to-blind-drag ratio was the lowest in the Regiment. He hopes to graduate to action on a Pacific cruiser or carrier. Varsity Gym 4, g45t. Qonald Tlenry liebe!! ' WAUSAU, WISCONSIN heated . .Q argument on some obscure su bject-these K, W game of softball, or, above all, A. - were among the few things that could keep Zibby away from the books. A mania for all sorts of facts, everything from the All-American fullback of ten years ago to the minute details of academic subjects, made the stars come easy. Whether it was a gal back home or just plain red mike, Zibby steered clear of all feminine attach- ments and spent his free time keeping up on the latest sports events or writing the latest faux pas of the Executive Department in his little black book.

Mix well and season with a likable Llglgmll smile, a good pitching arm, and a liberal sprinkling of handball, and you've got amiable Johnny, HJ. P. The Jeep, Williams. Now and then John would get the feeling that he was heavy for his weight, but he would always hit his bunk until he slept off that feeling. Jeep liked his athletics though. He played a good game of tennis and a rugged game of handball, and pitched a mighty good game of baseball. On the diamond or in the classroom J. P. had plenty on the ball. Subjects and batters alike went down the hard way. Varsig' Baseball 4, 3, 7, NAQ Mz'lz'laU1 Track 3, 7945, Forezlgn Language Club 4, 3, Boat Club 7,' Stars 4, 3. Que Wober! flliilson ORANGE, 'TEXAS The thing we remember about our first liTQ'lAQiQ Et meeting with the Mexican, on the day '45 was born, was his cowboy boots. Wonderful Texas was always his favorite subject in bull sessions. He liked to read good books and always believed that the best way to keep fit was to spend every other afternoon on his bunk. On his energetic afternoons, he worked out at bridge, company football or softball. Because he thinks twice as fast as most of us, Mex has starred since the beginning of Plebe year. His one ambi- tion is to settle down on a ranch and raise cattle and kids-and he'll do it one of these days. iffy? ll, 1 Company Football 3, 79455 Sparzzlrh Club 3, 7g Boat Club 4, 3, 75 Stan' 4, 3.
