Neither tdemics nor the Executive Department eak the spirit of this easy going Southerncr. est magazine always held more interest for than a textbook. Whenever he had the xercise, Mite, would just lie on his bunk feeling passed away. The only phase of sy life that really aroused Mitt was thc liberty at the end of each week.

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.

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. . .

fllialker george Chorsby ST. CHARLES, MICHIGAN I Our boy Thorsby has made himself a ,D I friend to all the plebes. He hails from the ' University of Michigan, where life was different from that he had as a plebe. Early in his Naval career he found the academies a bit tough, but his will to win and hard work pulled him through. In the afternoons he was al- ways out for some sport or extra-curricular activity. His brain-child was a band he organized and tried to get recognized as a regimental organization. The only time George wasted while at the Academy was that he spent trying to convince his roommates that Sherman marched through Georgia.

Here is an avowed Pennsylvanian somewhat given to cynicism at times, but whose natural abilities perhaps make it justifiable. Always near the head of the class, F orwood still managed to find time to make a lot of friends here and without neglect ing the fair sex. Coming from the respected halls of Lehigh University, he found the work here not too difficult. His restless energy kept the whole room moving, thoughit was almost too much for us when he showed up with a priceless rubber bathing cap to protect his carefully nurtured hair in the shower.
