If. : 'f4. 951241 Carson fllialson NEW LONDON, MISSOURI I' Tip brought with him from New .am London that outstanding quality of the l Missouri mule-obstinacy. Whether be- i ing shown a problem or being persuaded to drag, he had to be completely and thoroughly convinced. That quality has given him a steadiness and determination that will stand him in good stead in the Fleet. Quiet and thoughtful, he was one of the few who shunned the more frivolous side of academy life such as dancing and dragging, but this was perhaps due largely to the sobering infiuence of that girl back home. Tip'sl' de- pendability and unassuming friendship have won him a host Of friends at the Academy. Basketball 4, 3, ,45,' Company Voltryball 3, i-45.

His academic specialty is consistently scoring 3.0 Or better without ever cracking a text. Christmas leaves have found him too far from California to make the trip there, but he's kept pretty well in touch with the home folks by averaging a letter a day from them for as long as four weeks at a time. Good humor and an even disposition should make the lad welcome in ward- rooms until he bilges the age exam.

V One Of the youngest members of our class, he emerged a leader in athletics and in every other phase Of our life. More specifically, he won his Ni' at the keystone base during youngster year, and his brilliant play was recognized by his being chosen as the most valuable player and by his being duly elected captain. One of the best liked fellows at the Academy, Lando was always ready to lend anyone a helping hand.

Besides finding time star and to get plenty of sleep, he could al spare a few minutes to lend a helping hand to t who found the going tough. Being a dyed-in-t wool misogynist, with the single exception of faraway O. A. O., Fat Boy could usually found on week-ends in the B-hole Casino absor in a game of cribbage or poker.

Z 61 915041, i COMPANY OFFICER FOURTEENTH COMPANY When the Academic Board had finished with their doleful delibera- tions at the end of Plebe Year, our sadly depleted ranks looked a little too thin to undergo another Maryland winter. Reinforcements arrived in the form of six good men and true from the First Company, but even they could not prevent another sweeping victory for our pedantic masters the following year. The F utile Fourth then became the Forlorn Fourteenth as our battered little group gathered itself for the last effort. That dreamof an easy First Class Year soon went up in smoke as we struggled and groped our way to the finish. A motlier collection of characters has seldom been assembled inside these gray walls. At times the antics of some of our more outstanding personali- ties reminded one of the bizarre settings of a wild nightmare. The wishes of the individual rather than any intense company spirit prevailed as each man went about his chosen way of getting the most out of his Academy career. Each man emphasized the thing that he thought most important, but we all tried to have the most fun possible under the existing system, and amazingly enough, we succeeded despite the limitations of that little black regulation book.
