Qens Warnell Glansen EATON RAPIDS, MICI'IIGAN ff' When Michigan's master of the silver tongue decided that he must follow the call of the sea, he permitted nothing to E stand in his path. Swede brought to the Academy with him fond memories of Panama, Cuba, and the Fleet. Never did he cease to charm his classmates with tales of the sea. Academic work came and went as it should for Swede, and he always found time for wrestling, football, and his workouts in the gym. With his ability to build a permanent friendship and his ambition and de- termination to win, Swede will be a great asset to any ship on which he serves.

He brought a sincere desire to learn and a natural ability to box. With these assets he gained a pair of stars and a broken nose. To date, his greatest claim to fame are his drill shoes. Wine, women and song are a strong attraction for Punchy,', and, when you meet him in the Fleet, you'll know him to be the little man stepping ashore in the lead of the first liberty party.
