N Qi EMM. cgi Q 61 315001, COMPANY OFFICER ELEVENTI-I COMPANY From June to December eleven hundred and forty odd candidates sifted through the fine filter of Naval Academy selection. At the very end of that motley composition of young manhood was estab- lished an organization known, technically, as the Twentieth Com- pany. These fifty Plebe members cast together by circumstance forming the stern of a massive Regiment represented truly a cross section of American lineage. Conspicuous in position as last on the muster we dwelt in fourth deck rooms, observed fifth 'CF ree Sunday, and formed the rear guard at all military functions. Perhaps this more than anything else caused us to shake our lists at fate and swear by the Bible that someday 'fthe last shall be first. Two years hence, the last were absorbed in the middle. Now with our training starting to crystallize, we dedicated brief moments to dragging our O. A. O.'s and probably longer moments to thinking of them, yet our minds became more and more occupied with the serious problem born December 7, 1941. The Held broadens but we shall rendezvous again when time and tide permit. But we cannot say where, for this is merely the introduction to the history of the men of the Eleventh Company.

With an enviable sense of humor, a flair for writing, and a yearning for a New England retire- ment in Providence Plantations, he was a constant source of amusement to his friends and classmates, but one of utter bewilderment to the Executive Department. Alex strolled his way through studies and fraps with his characteristic easy-going manner, doing his bit in a big way to make life at Bancroft more pleasant.

I-Ie is a fellow who has a fine set of values, is keen and ob- servant, and who knows definitely what he likes. L Like many of us, his store of blue moments have been wrapped up with low temperatures, dull studies, and fond memories, but his quick wit and fast humor have always provided the needed tonic. .

Tuul QE .Wllrnendinger MOLINE, ILLINOIS . f I Paul came to the Navy from Moline, , ' Illinois, bringing with him a tennis rac- quet, golf clubs, a constant smile, and a knack for accomplishing work with the least waste of energy. With a casual air, that always made him seem to have control of the situation, Paul faced the Academic Departments and usually came out on top. Never worry about a situation until you meet it seemed to be Paulis philosophy of life and it certainly worked for him. In fact the only thing that ever seemed to perturb this de- bonair gentleman, was that weekends came only once a week.

He is known for his ability to bump a pin-ball machine without tilting, and to Hake out on his super-sack and still be one of the top men in his class. Ax will be remembered for his ability as an athlete-he took part in varsity football and track, for his easy going way-he always enjoyed shooting the breeze and a good joke, and for writing Sally when everyone else was studying. Dean will get out of life just what he wants for he has the ability to do whatever he desires. You will be lucky to be shipmates with him. j.
