Two years of college equipped HE. AF, I Hlexander Hrchie Wadi: NORFOLK, VIRGINIA , Better known to all of us as Al, is Virginia's gift to the Naval Academy. Instilled with that old wanderlustn and love of the sea, Al's constant source of Blue and Gold was an inspiration to all of us, especially on those dark, dreary days. His typical Southern geniality, humor,I and good-naturedness won Al a host of friends. Why he never unleashed that pleasant personality upon the fair sex will always remain a mystery to us. Why the secret, Al? His love for the choir and classical music was exceeded only by his devotion to the Service-a devotion which, we are sure, will carry him to success. Loads of luck, Al.

Donald Roderick Richards TULARE, CALIFORNIA When he frowned, every plebe in the . vicinity shook in his shoes. That was Terrible Don Richards, the Fourth Bat- talion peril, a menace to any and every plebe not walking the chalked line. Other than to plebes Rube was almost too easygoing. His room- mates lived out of his locker, let him keep the room in first class condition, and borrowed his money. Those weren't his only qualifications for being a good shipmate. He never let anything affect him outwardly, taking the good and the bad in stride. Don's extra-curricular activity was varsity base- ball, where he presided behind home plate. Sub- marines will get a Hne officer if Rube is lucky in the Spring ship-assignment drawings. -fm-q-,gun . Baseball 3, 7, .NAg Spanislz Club 3. ...- ,,, MMI'-bvzk -Y. .... ,---1-'wr fi,-f-'-

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.

Once he had made up his , ,I , , mind to graduate from Annapolis, noth- ing was big enough to change his mind or hold him back. It was the same way with athletics. He wasn't a natural on the cinder track, but he made up his mind to make the varsity squad, and he did. Rusty was always the one to show us the right track when we began to go a little bit astray. Along with his steadfastness he combined a delightful quality of knowing how to relax.
