george Qden gennings BHAMINGHAM, ALABAMA H Ji academic and otherwise, make George a welcome member of any gathering. A hearty laugh, a. keen sense of humor, and an impressive fund of information, i ' ' 1 i 'I ii vi i Author, cowhand, engineer, extraordinary seaman-these are only hints at the f versatility of the handsome, genial Alabaman. Those who have sailed with him will attest to his prowess as a racing skipper. Never troubled with academics, he often burned the midnight oil to obtain that liberal education not found in the academy curriculum or to add to that imposing array of manuscripts to his credit. His personality and amiability will take George a long way, his inherent ability will do the rest.

Came ed to, First Class year and the scope was wid- l drag. Yes, those were his sentiments d he lived up to them. But still Howie found ne to star each year, besides indulging in hletic activities. Several members of the Execu- 'e Department will join with us in remembering 's ever present whistling, which seemed to include ery tune published.

One thing Dick missed when he came south to Maryland was his skiing. After he came back from leave, we knew all about the skiing conditions in Maine. At the Academy sailing took up a great deal ol' his time, while at other times he could be found busy working with his radio and its various attachments. In spite of his many duties he still finds time for entertaining with the Reception Committee. Life became quite bearable when Dick brought his many new and ingenious installations to our four man suite on the fourth deck.

Leaving the University of Illinois after a ' i. . successful freshman year, Ed came to Navy where he acquired among other things his nickname, Lirner. Being of a savvy nature, he mastered his studies with ease and found them only a matter of routine. Half his spare time he spent in the gym at his favorite pas- time, basketball, the other half at his greatest joy- giver nthe old sack. Like all old salts he believed that variety is the spice of life and dragged his girls from all parts of the country. Because of his affable nature and ability to do a good job, he will be a welcomed shipmate anywhere. rs -. . t. .

Gllark golnn Gallagher LAYVRENCE, MASSACHUSETTS ,,,,L7:,4V-fzgi, Entering the Naval Academy directly from high school, Mark had a difficult time his first year. However, after over- coming homesickness for old Massachu- setts, he soon hit his stride. Although deeply inter- ested in psychology and philosophy, he always found time from Plato for workouts in the gym and for those dragging weekends. Liked by everyone, his curly hair and constant smile often put him in amazing difficulties with the opposite sex. We'll always remember Mark for his willingness to lend a helping hand and for his discourses on the strength of willpower. We wish him all the luck in the world and hope he gets the sub duty hels aiming for. ' I-I ,,,,.fef-,.,,. H ,Tvvg-Jfffzv.-sa-... ' 35.31- Lv-.....- -- -.,, fe? 'Q'--.Q , .., --0.

When others are worrying about their academic work, he manages a faint look of surprise as though the topic were entirely foreign to him. His forte has always been his good fellowship6okers have persistently regarded it his only redeeming feature-and he will always be a good man to have around. His good looks and charm will take him a long way, his good sense will take him further. One doesnit need to be a soothsayer to predict great things for Fred. Walter! tfanluel Tlayes , .

Like dynamite Hap,' comes in a small package, never- I'a L -li' 'T' theless he was an asset to the baseball, basketball and soccer squads. A profound interest in philosophy, liberal arts, and theology absorbed at collitch added to his ability - to argue and to uphold the highest standards of the Bull and Dago Departments. A sweet little brunette soon changed his indifferent opinion of women, and subsequently many of his weekend workouts shifted from the gym to the dance floor. His conscientiousness and positive character will undoubtedly take him a long way in the Fleet.

When there was studying to do, however, there was one thing that he did-study. He kept in shape with crew and tennis, but where he excelled was with the women and on the dance floor. Smooth Lou, as the girls called him in their private discussions, with his good taste for food and his keen eye for the fair sex, was always a good liberty partner. Billis fine personality, scholarly traits, professional interest, and gentle- manly manners will earn for him only the best in the future.

I Methodical by virtue of his Quaker an- cestry, Spike had no difhculty adapt- l B 72 'ii ing himself to the routine and discipline S of the Academy. An excellent mind found him even less concerned with its academic aspect. As an athlete he likewise was ably equipped, but he overcame this obstacle to become a member in good standing of the radiator squad. Despite his obvious qualifications as model midshiprnan, Windy, as his intimates knew him, was an in- dependent spirit, inclined to do his own thinking and express himself accordingly. The latter was usually right if not always opportune. Rich in ambition and natural ability, Frank will un- doubtedly prove an asset to any naval organization. games Cobb Qllalheson Al - OcoNoMowoc, WISCONSIN ?31i14 g-:su SCM 39 h f atty, as t e e ows knew him, or 'ijimmyfi as the girls called him, hailed from . si the land of milk and cheese, woods and lakes. One of his greatest prides was to ex- J-:--e plain to an interested plebe how his home town, Oconomowoc, received its name. F ' Two years at the University of Chicago gave him a foundation which he further ' developed with Libergf and Cosmopolitan. An occasional sailing trip to the Eastern shore on the Vamarie fulfilled his dreams of seeing the world. Jim kept his zoot suit form with frequent workouts in the pool and on the track. With his short hair which he never combed and his constant smile, Jim was everybody's friend.
