gmah. JE Q76 JWWMQJQ THIRD BATTALION OFFICER TWELFTH COMPANY It was a sage three striper of a class that went before us who once announced in a plaintive tone, We would never have thought of doing such a thing 'when we were Youngsters. His remark was directed against the rather censurable actions of the 17th Company 3 X c who were later to array themselves under the banner of the 12th Company Negats.,' Introduced to the Academy at a time when the Severn society of so-called sailors was dominated by the epicurean tastes of such characters of Sammy Jones, Shadrack, and Bud Lee, we have lived to see that non-regulation era all but forgotten. The rise of the class of '43 brought an athletic regime during which we Plebes began to wander away from our radiators. During Youngster Year under the guidance of the astute class of '44, the perplexities of life were increased. With this background came the boys from the 17th, out of the 4th Batt. and the protecting arms of Uncle Eddie, to shed their light upon the dismal Third Batt. We had champion hot dopestersn and unexcelled genius for doing the impossible, usually against the system. Yes, 'the group that enjoyed the semi- sanctity of the top deck was scarcely that which entered in the summer of 341. e

Curlis Wlherlon BROOKLYN, NEW YORK Q...-..,v-, Skip, with two years Of luxurious col- l- J .tl lege life behind him, found that the Academy was no country club. Young Curt had no trouble with studies and would have been a star man if he could have stayed away from his bunk long enough. 'cCurt', could be found on the baseball diamond during the after- noons catching a bang-up game. He was a modern swing fan and practically wore out his record player. His favorite recording is Sweet Eloise - possibly because of a young lady of the same name who possesses a Naval Academy miniature. Skip is airminded and already owns a private pilot license. We will always remember Skip's con- tribution to our nightly bull sessionsw and his desire to become a top-notch tighter pilot.

Big Bob came out of the wild West and railroading, to say nothing of the social life, to seclusion and the Navy. He prob- -Y ably figured that riding ships was like riding bucking broncos. Plebe year found him on the radio networks and dragging blind. When he doesn't show up at a Hop, dragging or stag, Dahl- gren will collapse. Academics worried him a great deal, but ,his marksgnever showed any need of it. He hit the frap sheet with the rest of us but tried very hard to stay off it. Bob will be gunning for his Jap along with the rest of ,45. I . L v V.. W... -.l ' I:-rr i .1 s.

Needless to say, the routine of Academy came as a shock to him, however, wasn't long before he had acclimated himself, ' running the first class was second nature. Thr Plebe year passed amidst bilged exams and time stories. Yolungster year finally arrived passed in the typical Barron formula-good --.,-- unsat exams, and 2.50, occasionally sprinkled wit dragging fblind or otherwisel.

Barton: YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO - - , Bob came to the Academy from Ohio via the Fleet, our gain was a great loss for - - . - a cc aa . both of them Bobby didn t Star, but that was only 'because he would rather ' -1- relax and enjoy life. In his spare time you could find Robin down on the ketches, ! and very few weekends found him far from the Eastern Shore. Bob's only real ob- jection to the Academy was that he couldn't be here and with Kay at the same time. His friendship and loyalty will be remembered and cherished by his many friends, and when ' two or three shall meetv Bob will be one of the first to be recalled.
