It was California's loss when Walt de- 1 ,'A. f , cided to make the Navy his life s work. 1 Though his home was in Long Beach, i Walt spent two years at the University of California where he studied statistics and enjoyed the fellowship of the Sigma Nu fraternity. At the Academy, handball, plebe track, and intramural soccer, combined with work on the Lucky Bag took up most of his spare time. An inveterate pipe smoker, Walt C but I don't have a middle namenj could never pass a pipe shop without buying one or two, or at least stopping for a moment of ad- miration.

From the very beginning Juan proved to be a real shipmate-many were the times that his helping hand aided E us in surmounting academic obstacles, many were the times that his steady head, his sense of humor, and his incessant crooning helped us through dark moments. Juan will always be foremost among the best of our 'cAnnapolis Memories. When it comes to awarding Navy E's, we will pick the ship with the gentleman from Texas on the bridge.

Don games Qlolzbacla SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA It was as an ex-seaman that Paddy raised his right hand to take the rnidshipman's oath. The big event in his year and a half in the Fleet was crossing the Equator. He says he'll never forget the initiation he underwent and is sure his classmates won't ':f35'5:1'-1 forget theirs when they make their maiden crossings. Academics kept him just busy enough to maintain his desired 3.0 average. Glotz found his happiest moments either in the mess hall, listening to or talking about swing, or reading an editorial page. Everything going on in the world was of interest to Glotz. Battalion crew and track occupied his organized athletic time.

Splashing right into athletics, he won his plebe numerals, and has worried about his and condition ever since. Next to swimming, came close to his heart three other items: , sailing, and sleep. Never one to stay ashore, J. III was always ready for a yawl race, storm shine.

Dub, with the rest of us, found that battle to win a 2.5 from the Academic Department no easy task. This was drudgery, but the happiness he obtained on the football field more than made up for it. Dub was no All-American, but he's the kind of guy that furnishes the necessary spark for a winning team.

Tex likes the women, but hasn't had much luck in this damyankee', land. Athletically speaking, he did his in high school, so Tex contented himself with company sports. Always in there plugging, he had his best standings on the Arkansas cruise: first in the chowline, first on liberty, and among the first when hammocks were piped down. With his- big smile and happy-go-lucky nature, there will always be a place for Tex.
