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.

If ,fr J. , . came to the Academy with two years of I-A high school and two years of sea-going experience on the Colorado behind him. Tommy had his troubles with Spanish at first, but by hard work he learned it so well that he acquired a second nickname, Pancho.', Few people are more at home on the dance floor and the parlor sofa than he, and many a heart will be broken when he settles down in an ivy-covered cottage. VVe don't claim that Tommy will win the war single-handed, but any job he may be given to do he will do to the best of his ability, and his best is quite good. -.f'mI-We ' 1'i-lllm -f .f I-,.f........,,, M, ,.,..,.'.I , ,,,.,.,,. 7 'rruuxf i ' 'E ' ' Aa'L '--.. --' ' Y fwg- 7' , - ' -. ,.j'::.:-- '. -..lr .-A ....

Tloward Dale Gllcwike BEDFORD, INDIANA fr Mac is a true Hoosier, but he swears by , Kentucky and we all know why. Yes, she had the most prominent spot on his desk. Mac's ready smile and winning personal- ity were well known throughout the Regiment. Friends?-he had ten times as many at the end of plebe year as we made during the whole course. On the basketball court, in the choir, or just in the halls, you could always find him talking to someone. Possibly it was only a two-minute ac- quaintance, but already he was a friend of Mac's. Mac likes people, we are crazy about Mac-the solution: We will all make it a point to meet this boy again. Battalion Football 4,' Battalion Baxkelball 4,' Clzoir 4, 3, 7,' Glare Club 4. Weber!

Many times he -1 helped us over the bumps when the going was tough. He came to us straight from high school, but don't let that fool you, for he was a Don Juan. He spent the greater portion of study hours writing to his female admirers. Bob was the boy you'd like to meet. His friendly nature and talkative disposition always created a pleasant atmos- phere. Bob enjoyed nothing more than a good argument. lt didnjt matter to Bob, he'd take either side. My! what a lawyer he'd have made. We will always remember his generous heart. Indeed he was a friend in need.
