Weler Raymond Werkins ROYAL OAK, MICIiIGAN . . , Pete takes life as it comes. Nothing seems I A -A1. I .. to faze him. His smile is a permanent and contagious fixture. A hard and enthusi- astic worker, he never did anything half- heartedly, whether it was wohing at the Hops or fifth period sack drill. A staunch crew man and a good sailor, Pete was always on the water livening up a yawl trip or the boat house with his good humor. Even when the going was tough, Pete al- ways seemed to find time to enjoy life and to get around and meet people. His friends kept him off the pap sheet innumerable times. Pete is easy to get along with because he likes people and people can not help liking him. l' ' ' Varriyz Crew 4, 3, 7, '45,- Battalion Swimming 7,- Christmas Card Committee 3, 75 Boat Club 4, 3, 7. :Tf2,J..X,! .

From a bashful third day plebe he developed into one of '45's prime nsnakesf' His greatest fear was to be caught with- out a drag on a Hop weekend. It never material- ized. Somehow, between weekends, he found time for the Newman Club, the Reception Committee, anduquite a sizeable hunk of academics. Although he often worried about the latter, he never had cause to. He could be dead serious or the life of the party as the occasion demanded. If you ever run into a Navy man with a freckled Irish face and a dazzling shoe shine, somewhere in between youill find Bill Riordan.

At first his slipstick fairly smoked, but the system with a French flavor managed to keep ahead of him. Meanwhile, his wives alternately blessed and cursed him. He'd take that weekend watch-or work that tough 'steam prob for you. But, an electric razor before reveille and strange odors from hair restorers led to dire threats of violence! Whether it was studying, fighting that receding hairline, or running steeplechase and cross country, you could count on Tony to put his heart and soul into it. Q Boat Club dg Newman Club 4, 3, 7.

But Morris was not only a singer, he was also a wrestler. A very stormy day it was, too, when he went forth to do battle for the Company. Those he couldn't pin, he frightened into submission with his ape-like tactics. Few things worried Morris, con- duct reports and grease chits least, and letters from Washington most.

In two years ith Ace, we've found that everything on this arth comes a little bigger and better if it has a exas trademark. Ace turned in a fine academic ecord, in spite of a fondness for horizontal engi- Ieering developed from Plebc year. However, Dago nd a certain girl from Baltimore kept him mighty usy at times. A quiet fellow except when the eveille bell rang, Ace could be counted on in any emergency to help out a friend.

A deep appreciation of the liner things manifests itself in a superb locker picture collection and a weekly trip out into the village for a steak and a good show Rod likes his sports, knows all the football teams in the country, and spends at least half the year over at the high-jumping pit. His easy-going manner and disdain for words and olders that affect the other 90 per cent have made him a shining beacon to all the men who think lt can t be done.

Hberrrombie tfwensen SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA gf: Swede roamed the seven hills of San Francisco until one day he decided to 'A I i toss in his lot with the Navy. Living with the sea for a backyard, plus the line in- heritance of his father's chosen profession gives him his nautical background. Although fond of trying his hand at individual enterprise on the tennis court, fencing loft, or with the fairer sex, he can always be counted on to join heartily in the spirit of the occasion be it a feast, a frolic, or a fight. Whether the West Indies or far China Station, we hope we will have the pleasure of com- ing alongside again soon.
