Filled with romance and the adventurous spirit of the days of large plantations, stately Southern balls, dark-eyed belles, and flowery, affected speech, Jim was born a century too late for him to derive the maximum benefits from such a dashing nature. But this does not mean that his mannerisms of the Old South are worthless in this modern age. To the contrary, they give him an original and gallant personality. His sense of adventure makes him a worthy athlete-a wrestler of merit-and an enjoyable companion.

A wrestler of ability, he rarely missed a daily workout in the gym. When he did, it was to enjoy the extra- curricular activities of Maryland's capital. Though his study hours were a toss up between letters to the girl back home, sleeping, and studying, he was ever willing to lend a helping hand. He loved the Navy. He loved fair winds from the Executive Department.

He is the boy with the tremendous muscles: the fellow who worked harder in the gym than any other ten people. John had brains too, when he wanted to use them, but there are more important things than studying, Among the more important things were women, many of them-until first class year. Plebe year he had a riotous time, Youngster year was milder-no youngsters to run, first class year was little different-just happier. I'd like to be Johnls shipmate again sometime. , Track 4, '45,' Battalion Track 3,' Boat Club 4, 3, 7. 274 F. ..,.,A,,,v N- A l rl l li l b l l l l l Cliiley Wirgil Conover MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA .jg-:E Who was the first in '03 to win th coveted UNH?

He started out a confirmed Red Mike, true to the gal back home in Cincy and ended up as a fast, loose and fancy free lady-killer of the first water. A sound thinker, his knowledge of practical mechanics was surpassed only by his skillful workmanship. Studies were never too difficult to interfere with his thirst for good literature. His afternoons were spent in the gym, where with muscular dexterity he emulated the renowned man on the flying trapeze. Varsigf Gym 4, 3, 7, g45t,' Radio Club 3. Black JV '3 i ' '7 F' I A 273 J.
