.Wllen 1IlcQonaId Dame BOYNTON, FLORIDA Al, with his camera, his empty pipe, his fencing saber, and an eye for the girls, came to the Academy from V. P. I. Homeless and disappointed when the press Olhce informed him that there was no bin John, he retired to May's Casino and to books, to emerge star-bespangled-this in spite habitually falling asleep in Juice and Ordnance tutes He also managed to get his eight hours sleep a night, except for first class year when he ost froze to death because of that blanket he n t have after cruise. Wle hope he won't forget wives, the Gruesome Foursomen, they won't get him. . .or his sister's cookies. omg 4 f45tg Valzrihl Fmtci11g 3, 7, j1NAt,' Spanish Club Il, 3,' Lucky Bag Plwtogmfrlzcr 3, 7g Plmtograplnfc Club 3, 7,' Stars 4, 3.

Scotty was one of the few lovers of pre-reveille workouts in the gym. Starboat sailing, battalion crew, off-key singing, the Quarterdeck Society, and Navy table talk were his pastimes. A well-ordered mind and an outline method of study garnered some well-deserved stars for this conscientious plugger and developed him into the best of ofhcer material.

After two 5. years at Indiana University, he came through the Academy with but one dilii- culty-Math. Will power and weekends behind a slipstick solved that problem. Studies over, basket- ball and crosscountry occupied his evenings, but the weekends were his forte. With, a blonde or brun- ette fno redheads,-he dragged one blindj to take sailing anddancing, he was really living. Bill's real love is aviation, and those wings of gold. After that-well, his sense of humor, zest for excitement, and willingness to try anything once should make his career highly interesting. Basketball 4,' Varsigf Crass Cauntgf 35 Battalion Track 3,5 .

Qohn Connelley fukin LITTLE Rock, ARKANSAS T' T, -'..':7,P ' t .53 Big John has definitely disproved our theory that no Arkansan can complete three successful years at the Naval Acad- 'tt' erny. Not only has Brother succeeded academically, but he has fostered all athletics as well by his wholehearted participation in battalion and junior Varsity football. His greatest ambition is to definitely locate Venus, and we don't mean the planet. There are only two songs that we didn't dare start around Bro-the Marine Ibmn and Dixie. When John receives his diploma, the Old. Nyvee will be commissioning an alert and rugged oflicer. Battalion Track 4,' jr.

From' --3-F there he came to us with his corncob pipe fuming. Plebe spring he spent in the hospital playing poker to pay his income tax. The Bo,s'n,' had had plenty of experience in handling NAPC and was given the sack early youngster year. As Regimental Sub-Commander the fall of first class year he was senior man on the sub squad, He didn't star, but, right or wrong, he could always explain the Steam and Ordnance diagrams to his wives.

Sugar gets off his sack every sailing season to take over as manager of the sailing team, and his ability is attested to by the teamis string of victories. Women to him are the proverbial snare, Cbut he certainly loves to be snaredlg and although he claims to be harmless, we sometimes wonder. He gets this academic stuff, and nothing worries Sugar but his weight and cold water. When cold water smacks him he changes from a lamb to a lion, which is one reason why he has decided on South Pacific duty, where we are sure he will benefit whatever ship he may get.

Donald Charles Curran PoMoNA, CALIFORNIA With his sails trimmed, Don came to the l,QfF'fjyf,,lg Academy in '41, and, like the rest of us, he was pointing high. He followed his first love, sailing, finishing his last season as captain of the Chesapeake Bay sailors. A runner- up for Don's affections was dragging, and he soon became known for his assortment of beautiful drags. Academics, still considered the main ob- jective, were not overlooked by the savoir of 3240, and more than once he has shed light on one of those complicated problems that confront us. Don is all set for light cruisers in the Pacific, and when he brings his guns to bear, you can bet he will be on target.

Possibly the fact that he comes from Newton and went to Exeter explains his ability. Although he excelled at soccer, he more or less bilged along the social line, as he proved to be a violent Red Mikef, perhaps because his dancing lessons never took.H Definitely a guy worth knowing, Dave will go far in his naval career.

Uloberl .Hansel ifialson TOPEKA, KANSAS A With three years at Kansas University under his belt, Eddie took the Academy in his stride. Probably the busiest man in our class, Lightning always knew what had to be done and how to do it well. A line basket- ball player, battalion handball champion, extra- curricular genius-Ed was all of these and more. As for the academic struggle, he could absorb more in five minutes than the rest of us could in an hour, and he did it consistently. Girls to him were never plural, Cecil was the only one. Always ready to give a helping hand, Ed was as true a friend as could be found. Whenever tough assignments are being dished out, Ed will be found Hrst in line. jr.

In fact, he is quite proud of if it, and the fact that he can tell you with ease the initials of every one of his classmates, and those of most of the Regiment, too. How he does it we still haven't figured out. Besides being a Navy Junior and an active member of the Short Order Club, Pat delighted in singing cowboy songs. While at the Academy he had his share of mis- understandings with the Academic Department and the young ladies, however, Pat was able to master the first of these two evils. He's still working on the second. Battalion Lacrorse 4, 35 Lucky Bag, Comparyw Rejlrexentatioe 7. 2 l 8 qw- . -tv.. ,fva 'C -vi- Q, ..-za-, -uan ,...
