Robert gohn tfhauf INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA Napoleon and Nelson were both mighty mites. Artie', Shaw is another half-pint ' l full of dynamite. His exuberant personal- : ity and cheery spirit helped immeasurably to boost us over the hump during those gloomy, wintry days. Whenever we needed sound advice. Bob gave it to us. He had a store of good ideas. At parties he started the ball rolling with his tall stories, corny jokes, and his version of the adagio. Every weekend Bob devoted solely to dragging and sailing. As for the academics, Bob fought as hard as the rest of us and won a great battle with the Math Department. With an ardent desire to win the Navy Wings, Bob will make good.

Ol' his many high qualities, perhaps the most noticeable was ,Iohnnie's endless cheerfulness. A smile and a happy expression always adorned his handsome countenence even though an injury prevented his participation in his favorite sportsof football and wrestling.

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.

The paternal ! member of the original gang, Dick is a confirmed Yankee with a yen for golf and that little gal back in Findlay. Dickis a boy who cloesn't know how to frown and can come up laughing from any situation. You know him by his neat locker and that ease with which he dresses. That innocent look of his eyes hides a mischievous nature which often pulls the wool over the eyes of unsus- pecting targets of his humor. He is a boy we have been glad to live and work with, and he deserves the best in life. Varsity Football 4, '45,' Var.tz'g.' GoU 4, '45j Battalion GoU 4, 35 Varsity Basketball 3, 7. .... .
