Charles Swan flllcwride AKRON, O1-no Whenever a Plebe says that he is from Ohio we always make it a point to send him around to see Mac. Yes, Mac has lived in Akron, Ohio, all his life and spent o years at Akron University before entering the val Academy. A believer in physical fitness, ac has taken an active part in many of the sports ered at the Academy including crew, tennis, imming, and handball. Many of the fellows have used him of getting up early in the morning, d we cannot deny that, but believe it or not it s been only for a pre-reveille swim. Mac's in- erence toward the fair sex has broken many rts but his winning smile and personality will er be forgotten. KL VarrilvLCg2w 4, 3, '45, Baal Club 4, 3, 7g ,5 0 Sjzamslz Club 4, 3, 7.

Ewan gohnson flllclloufell SCOTLAND NECK, NORTH CAROLINA Chippy, as we who know so appro- . , , 1- ..i' ' priately call him, came to us by way of l, ::.m - the tropical Virgin Islands. He was gifted with more than his share of brains and good looks and has used the latter to good ad- vantage, as is shown by his busy weekends. Mac is still not convinced that you sleep to live, spending most of his study hours with his head on his desk. While a midshipman, he has declared his inten- tions to serve below, on, and above the sea, but Pensacola will probably get the call when he makes his choice. This easy-going Southerner is a good friend and a great wife.

They both gave him headaches, but they are mostly behind him-at least the Executive Department is. Speed will make out O. K. with his feminine interests.

His first day here found him in one of his more serious moods, attempting to arch his instep in order to disguise the appearance of his rocking chair feet and increase his height of five feet six inches. A consistent, if not ambitious, grappler, Fearless spent his entire stay at the Academy pinned to his bunk blissfully unaware of such activities as recita- tions, drills, and practical works. When not sleep- ing, his activities easily earned him the reputation of a character. Battalion Wrestling 45 Newman Club 4, 3, 7g Reception Committee 4, 3,: Spanish Club 4, 3.

i granldin Ufarry fllepo CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - . Frank is one of the few men lucky enough to be born with a mechanical instinct. It was merely part of the day's recreation .,,f Y for him to take apart-and put together -his radio or camera. Like many people with mechanical minds, though, the construction of sentences baliies him. How he eluded the clutches of the Bull Department Plebe year --is still a mystery. Don't mention politics to him, or he'll talk for hours about the technique of log-rollingi' in Chicago. That's where he's from and he's proud of it. With a gift for hard work, he is an advocate of a tougher system and better organization. His favorite phrase is, Now when I'm Ad- miral. . .

Smitty wanted to go to R. P. I., but when he received an appointment to the Acad- emy, he decided to go Navy. A whizz at juice, and a darn good man in anything with cogs and wheels, J, McCoach did O.
