gohn Darwin flicks CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA Effervescing with energy, full of life, al- ways laughing-that is John. John is a l 'N A boy who knows not a cross word, nor has yet to speak harshly except in defense of the Confederacy. He is a real sports enthusiast, enjoying nearly every form of athletics. Although there are many people who love fruit, no one loves Peaches more than he. To hear John tell it, one would think he was bilging, but actually he is the number one man in his room and stands high in the Regiment. His likable personality, Southern ways, and pleasing manners will always win him many friends. John swears by his good luck, and we wish him lots more of it.

BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA FQ P, K. left the happy University of ' California only one step removed from the fellow who thought the Naval Acad- emy was coeducational. The upper class- men took great pains to make sure that Ken found out about all the trials of plebe year. That they were successful in making P. K. into a mid- shipman was evidenced by the number of stripes he wore on his blue service sleeve. Blessed with enviable athletic ability, P. K. was at ease on almost any field of athletic endeavor. His staid qualities and reserved manner, along with his ex- ceptional wit and amiable personality disclose a unique individual.

Having singled out the Navy as a career, Ray first attended Cathedral Collegt of Erie, in preparation for the course here. Sleep ing, eating, dragging, tennis-all were part of Ray gay moments. His love for dancing found him all the hops, and he never failed to make a hit wit the fair sex. During his stay here, he had his tussl with the Academic Departments, but hard stud and determination saw him through. Commo sense, sincerity, and a ready smile will carry hi far towards a successful career in the Fleet.

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. Not, that is, until First class year, when arose the desire for lots of social develop- entf' And the gals were the lucky ones on that ore, because none can forget, as can none of us, s cheery wit and practical jokes.

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. Dub will always be re- membered by his many friends as the boy with the will to win and the courage to reach the top. Honorabbf Disclzarged jr. Varxigf Faolball 4, 3, '45, NA.

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.

Harkening to the call of the sea, as did his father, and his father s 2 4 ' father before him, Ken went to sea on the Calyornia, which, he will have you know, is a fine ship. The Academy's crosscountry squad found a valuable man in him, and any ship he may join will find him a capable and quick-thinking man. He has a smile for everyone, and his helping hand is extended to anyone who reaches for it. Here's to you, Ken, Inay you End what you reach for.

Coming Q from Fort Barry, California fSure it's on the maplj, he was a leader from the start-fcox- swain of cutter crew 2721 Taking everything in an easy manner, L. G. was one of the most friendly hands in '45. After a few jousts at fencing, Max decided that company soccer was his sport, and played on the old Fighting Fifth'su championship team. His only other battle ended with the Dago Department the loser, Max getting the cherished 2.5 at the end of his one-bad termn in Spanish. Weill all remember him as a buddy, and we know he'll have clear sailing ahead.
