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

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.

Wllichael goseph Wane HZARTFORD, CONNECTICUT Let me go down to the sea in shipsn is undoubtedly the predominant wish of this strapping Connecticut Irishman. In- stilled with a great Navy spirit, Killer need only a few minutes, and he could sell to any man. Mikels greatest asset is his determination to learn everything there know about his profession. Easy-going and a great sense of humor, his troubles with the Department were as few as with the sex. Mike's great qualities will see him far, cl in all seriousness and with due respect to a 'eat roommate, I know no man whom I would ther see wearing the gold braid of a naval oHicer.

Now that 1t's Y I L-f-A-.lvl all over, he still sticks to his contention in spite of the earnest efforts of Barto, Curly, and various and sundry Academic Departments. Cap's greatest personal blessing seems to be his light- heartedness. Nothing seems to bother him except the number of days until the next leave and the general status of Provincetown. Athletics were never very much in his line, but he did manage to get his UN. Capt. won't tell when you ask him where he got it, though. We hope that he gets the pig-boat that hels been dreaming of.
