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.

Pleasant, easy-going, and thought- ful, he is serious about his love-making and his career in the Naval Air Corps. Scott's sport is swimming, his hobby, collecting little bottles, little boxes, and big pictures-of girls. p Battalion Swimming 4, 3, 7, '45,' Spanish Club 7.

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.

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.

With little exertion the blond boy managed to stand one in Dago and leave his Irish name on the foreign language plaque, but if stars were given for struggle and labor, his full dress collar would have been notice- ably bare. He esteemed himself the perfect drag for many skeptical beauties, and continually boasted of the shine on his number one. The Marine Hymn appeals to jackson and he'll add U. S. M.

Tom had two loves: one was the Air Corps, and the other lived back in the home town. He possessed the rare ability to acquire grease without being' greasy. His success at the Academy was a result of hard work. It was an uphill grind all the way, but Torn's 4.0 in common sense aided him to clear all the hurdles with plenty to spare. It would be dillicult to list his talents, but it is suflicient to say that no man ever left the Academy with finer character, ability, or the determination to succeed. Time alone will prove our confidence in him.

For Bob, studies and athletics only served to pass the time between meals. It would be most unfair to say chow was Bob's first love. A blue-eyed Massachusetts' lass named '4Tootsie had undis- puted claim to that distinction. Tootsie was the pride and joy of Bob's life being, he claimed, 165 lbs. on the hoof and able to lick any other fellow's girl? Bob will be well-remembered for his tailor-made uniforms, which promoted many a lecture on neatness from inspecting officers.
