A two year feud the Bull Department and a disinclination to held him down for a while, but during the part of his Academy career he began to stand as one of the few men who had any real idea to what some of the more technical subjects were out. A natural member of the Radiator Squad, outside activities have included sack drill and interest in models and radios. Bob is conscien- us and cooperative, and sees the humor in any uation.

Their choice of this short bowlegged Irishman naturally disillusioned some of us at first, but Alu soon convinced us that men were not to be judged by their stature. Of all the assets Al , brought with him, his smile has served him best both in winning friends and inliuencing Hprofsf' In the spring he could always be found behind the plate talking up the pitcher with the best of them.

On the football field as he approaches in that familiar swaying motion with extraneous pads sticking out all over him, there is little doubt in our minds that he is related to Mr. Five by Fivef' However, whether related or not, Chuck has utilized the last four years to good advantage, dimples, double chin, and all. He has always been determined to see things through to the finish, a trait most of us lack. That little town of Alburtis lying in the .foothills of Pennsylvania can well be proud of him.

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?

gohn Carl gerguson, ir. VVILLOW SPRINGS, MISSOURI Few were surprised when stars appeared on Fergy's full dress during Youngster year, two years at Missouri State Teachers College, a serious nature, a keen mind, and an ability to concentrate were enough to make him academically proficient. Living at the foot- hills of the Ozarks gave Fergy a great appreciation for the lower musical forms and his renditions in monotone of the latter were always a source of amusement to all within hearing. Although Carl seldom dragged, he was no Red Mike , a certain Missouri girl occupied all his thoughts and after June Week we knew why. An extreme sports en- thusiast, when Fergy wasnit trying to get up a softball or basketball game he was talking up major league baseball: the Cards in particular.

Perhaps this had something to do with an amazing record of 4.0 drags! A determination to be a top-notch officer had much to do with the manner in which he breezed through Seamanship and Navigation.

A virtual chamber of commerce, Fritz consistently boasted of God's country and the sunny elime of Southern California. At the Acad- emy his main diversions were soccer, sailing, and flaking out with his record player blaring forth his favorite jive. His chief desire is to become a fighter pilot in the Naval Air Force. Smooth sailing, Fritz, and the best of luck.
