gohn flliilliam Chapman, Ill ' LARCHMONT, NEw YORK A contagious laugh, a ready eye for non- reg activities, and a hatred of subjects academic-mix them together, blend l Tx l A v . :QQ with a keen sense of humor and a love for Pigboats, and you have Chappie. 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.

We salute him for having set us the highest standards in physical fitness, industry, tenaciousness, personal habits, manliness, and sportsmanship. 67, - ....., ..... . - .-Qxeff -mm M,-H , ' ' -S A-, L Oc if ,....

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!

JENNINGS, LOUISIANA ',,Qf'fl,Q'?,?iYQf1 From the dankest depths of the blackest bayous of Louisiana came the Gunner -a bland individual with a decided flair -au for humor, subtle and otherwise, and a pronounced distaste for morning exercises, cold showers, and stringless pajama trousers. Being a friend of Fuzzy,s is an experience from which one never fully recovers, his jokes and pranks will follow him everywhere, and everywhere he will be remembered as just a guy who likes being just a guy who likes life, laughter, and good comrade- ship. Having many aptitudes, few faults, and no shaving brush, the Gunnerl' proved to be a source of never-ending hilarity, vexation, and argument. Wherever he goes, and whatever he does, friends and fun will inevitably follow.
