A Casanova from way back, Frank en- joyed dragging-and would swear off Monday. The Clutch,' was an athlete, too, his N -a black one. Bud had a typical accent, and the rest of the boys got a kick of his enunciation. Maybe this was the reason his trouble with the Bull Department, and just the records Wife liked third day rifle range so tells he went live times. From now on, even if one of his stories, we will be unanimous in vote of conhdence. Stay aboard, Frank. Varrigf Crew 4, 3, 7, '45, .NA,' Black .Nlig Newman Club Il, 3, 7. 'L' L0 Ji?

Trouble lay in store for the plebe who had never heard of the glories of a New Bedford Whaler. Yet for all his love of Massachusetts, Curt took weekends on the Eastern shore. His one and only tea fight explained that. Quiet and unassuming, he rarely ran afoul the Executive Department except when he tried to take bird walks before reveille. Good books, good music, good arguments, and good workouts in the wrestling loft took up his spare moments. The Navy will find him as we did-ready. .l l lxft i Stage Gang 4, 3, 7,5 Log Slqf 4. .Wlberl Qioniface Channel!

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.

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.

The only thing he dislikes is a cold shave, the only thing he won't tolerate is a frap before breakfast. He has trouble with only one thing besides women, these sad individuals who don't believe in submarines. Chappie is one of those rare human beings who can radiate humor. His long, lusty laughs are a clarion call for all victims of the system to rush down to his room for a charge. Being his wife was a classic experience, and learning his formula for a successful living, a privilege. Ballalion Crew 4, 7,' Ballalion Track 7,' Baal Club 4, 3, 7.

Sr. JAMES, MINNESOTA Here is another Midwesterner, with all the good qualities characteristic of that part of the country. The life long friend- ships and lasting experiences of a small town college have greatly supplemented Oscar's natural, friendly spirit, have paved the way to a successful career at the Naval Academy, and guar- antee to keep his future bright. Not starring aca- demically or athletically, he has still gained from the subjection to knowledge and experience, and we know that these gains have and will be put to good use. Equipped with an engineering mind and an ability to savvy things fast, Oscar will prove to the people back in St. James that, when a Mid- westerner goes to sea, he does it right.
