Boxing 4,' Battalion Boxing 4, '45, Huron .Duane Geiger ST. Josarl-I, MISSOURI Where do they make this pulled wheat cereal, Mister? Yes, Bill was mighty proud of his home town, and St. Joe has a right to be proud of him. It was a tough or Bill to get in the Academy, but these difh- only made him value all the more the climax his life-long ambition. That broad grin relieved moments of tension and touched many a heart. He will long be remembered in ath- Ics as the co-holder of the Naval Academy record d the Army-Navy meet record in the 220-yard hurdles. Track 4, 3, 1, ws, Nr, one Club 4.

Recognized by glint in his eye, his warm smile and practical Qewiil Wrmor Qrllybill PEMBROOK, PENNSYLVANIA I Easily the most popular fellow in the Com- pany, Doc was the friend to give any A ' 'f classmate sympathy or advice, whichever was needed. He could instantly recognize and enter into any mood, whether it be cynical, bantering, serious, or simply humorous. His canny knowledge of women aided many others as well as himself. Doc was not a snake, he simply reasoned, correctly enough, that if he did not drag the girls, both would miss the fun. He had that coordination which enabled him to excel in any sport attempted. He was a regimental boxing champion, and a winner in everything else. With his superior tact, adaptability, and personality, Armor will be a winner for his country and his friends.

God's Country, Johnny says, and he was as loyalito it as he was to ideals he brought with him, and to his first job for the Navy. How he found time for foot- ball, choir, NA-10, wrestling, good marks, and stripes was a mystery for those who did not know his secret: John knew how to use those spare min- utes when the schedule said sack drill. The spirit and ability that kept him on top of Maryland climate, frap sheets, steam, and Monday mornings for these three years will make our Navy a good officer.

His knack for picking out good phonograph records made him a much more pleasant room- mate. just one look at him and we knew he was an officer who would go places in the Fleet.

A natural Hair showmanship, coupled with a solid se of rhythm, made George and his drumming one the most popular features of the NA-10. Possess of an unbounded enthusiasm for every task und taken, he was never really troubled by the us 1niddie's problems. Academics, sports, and, course, dragging, all found a very favorable balan on his calendar of events, adding up to an a tremely successful three years at the Naval Aca emy-three successful Navy years which are o the first of many to come. l TV , Sluzplnclzzzsu 3, '1l5,' Ontlzerlm Drummer fl,' .NA-70 Drummer 4, 3, 7. ,- ' M ,f' .

Reber! Qllilliam Ulanufell MANASQUAN, NEw JERSEY ffwhg A ready smile, a dry sense of humor, a Wx.. rather serious nature, and a marvelous gift of gab-these ,were the things that ' ' Af- Q! Bob brought along with him when he left New Jersey three years ago. Those three years have not wrought a great deal of change. He still cher- ishes an ambition, born in junior high school, to be an olhcer in his Uncle Sam's Navy. Bob was not exactly a star in athletics or academics, but clung to the theory that the buckets are the best officers. We feel sure that he has something there and that he will be a welcome and valuable asset to his ship, whether it be in the wardroom or on the bridge. Boat Club 4, 3, 75 Foreign Language Club 7. 7 .

He is not savvy in the book sense, but has more than his share of practical knowledge and common sense. Not the competitive type, he was more content to enjoy life as it came.

Hilly took the Academy in full stride, faking the Reg. book out of position, just-as he did opponents on the gridiron. Probably, the greatest open field runner to wear the Blue and Gold in recent years, I-Iumbon was certainly one of Navyls all time greats. Also at home with a lacrosse stick in his hand, he had the distinction of winning an Nl' in both football and lacrosse his youngster year. Hilly's happy-go-lucky ways and broad smile made the women sit up and take notice. He had that 3.0 glance and study hours were invariably spent in sack drill. A true and loyal friend, no one will ever forget him. Varsiy Football 4, 3, 7, '45, N35 Basketball 4, '45j Varsigv Lacrosse 3, 7, .N 42' Battalion Tennis 4, ,45. 290
