Whillip Eugene tfperry MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 2 i Phil came to the Naval Academy after a F year at the University of Minnesota and two years in the business world. He found 71 ' the Academy a trifle different from what he had expected, and it took him awhile to orient himself, but he finally managed to get squared away in a shipshape manner. Gym, as he was known as a plebe, lived up to his nickname by tumbling on the varsity gym team and winning his letter. The rest of his spare time was spent in writing to his O. A. O., listening to his 200 odd records, and dragging queens to all the Hops. We'1l really miss, Phil and his clever witticisms, which added so much to nightly bull sessions.

A man of many interests, the Ace is equally at home on the lacrosse field or at the billiard table, and Wherever he is, he makes his presence felt. Most of us garner at least a few gray hairs during our stay at the Academy, but academics, the feminine ele- ment, and the Executive Department still left this steady gent from New Jersey with the situation well in hand. A grand guy and a swell wife , the Fleet is lucky to have him. 1 V I , ,H+ 4 V' gif!

Qi: fama. an Q. Mama, COMPANY OFFICER THIRTEENTI-I COMPANY In June of '43 the Youngsters of the Second Company moved out from under the protecting wing of Fearless Fosdick to join the Scout- master's Eager Beaver Patrol Thirteen. Despite his careful tutelage, several short-order houses, a few gambling dens, and a salt mine sprang up and flourished in the musty corridors of the third wing. Had it not been for us, many of the Academyis activities, including the sub and weak squads, would have been sadly undermanned. Among our number we boasted the best of four-stripers, the designer of our class ring, half the staff of the Luclgv Bag, the Crocodi1e's,' skipper, the captains and managers of two varsity teams Cas well as a good number of playersj, and the holders of scores of other im- portant positions in our Academy life. Not content with keeping busy during our stay at Bancroft, many of us spent part of our annual leaves on cruises, at sub school, or at various flight training bases. We've made a good showing in our three years here and have had fun doing it, which is about all we could have asked, and about all we can ask of the future.
