Uiennelh Qllilliam Chambers SHELBYVILLE, INDIANA ,TT T Puttingaside his clarinet and high school days, Kenny came to the Naval Academy as one of the youngest men in his com- pany. He had a typical Hoosier love of basketball and proved his prowess as a member of the Happy Eighth's basketball team. The company softball team also found him an excellent asset. Lack of college education didn't hinder Kenny, an ever rising average told that fact. Many of his classmates found that they could count on him for freely given help in diflicult studies. Kenny's only grudge against the Executive Department was that they wouldn't let him wear his loud suspenders where they were visible. Despite this handicap, we're sure that heis a boy who's going to get ahead. Cornjaary Sports 4, 3, 7. -- . . . ...s-. .1 -. ..,.-.r-,-.v ,QL-, ., ETTW fa! l' ..

Qliilliam Richard Chester CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA Corn-fed and red-headed, Bill entered the Navy from the land locked state of Iowa. Constantly relying on a brilliant ' ' ' I reasoning power to pull him through a recitation after having slept through most of the study time, he stands well in his class and refuses to worry about anything. Warm hearted and al- ways looking for a good time, he manages to drag every weekend. In fact, next to Naval aviation, girls are the obsession of his life. An athlete at heart he excelled at military track when not boxing or playing football. Stubbornness where principle is involved, should make Red an excellent officer for what we all know will be a long naval career. RQ'l'e 4. , x.. NT--- ,N .U-,nm q:,,,.,,.-x,. 'YwS.,1,1,: ' Weber!

Weniamin Tlarold Qean n SENATOBIA, Mississippi - The conclusion of First Class Summer was the high point of Deanie's Crabtown , for two years which had threatened - to erase his 'name from our muster books.

Qames Thompson: Boone CONNERSVILLE, INDIANA H Dan came to the Navy from the heart of Indiana, showing his true woodsman spirit , by his untiring passion for long crosscountry hikes. With much grumbling, he may admit to you that Maryland outdoor life is almost as interesting as his Hoosier country. Hels amazed us all by his extensive knowledge of guns and sailing vessels which gave him a head start on most of us in the practical subjects. In an unhurried manner, he methodically worked out the problems that many times bothered the rest of us. He was seldom to be seen at the I-Iops-social life didn't seem to appeal to him, but Dan is devoted to a very special girl back at Purdue University-hels a swell guy, Mary!

If it were a bridge game, a heavy bull Tom entered the Naval Academy with 4 g M his feet on the ground and his eyes wide open, and he hasn't changed a bit. He brought with him an acute sense of humor, a keen appreciation of a job well done, and certain quiet, self-conhdent demeanor which has earned our most sincere respect. Having spent a successful year at M. I. T., Torn was well equipped for his encounters with the academic slips, and his record proves it. The coxwain's seat in the Varsity shell was his spot after drills. He was a Red Mike by choice and, as a certain party will attest, a rnost faithful correspondent. Here's luck and good sailing to an ofiicer and a gentleman.

Gabby brought to the Naval Academy a love for practical , 1' jokes and dragging. The boys in the Happy Eighthi' will remember corn flakes in beds and alarm clocks in light globes and other pranks of his nibs. Possessed with powerful vocal chords, but a one note voice, Cabby came to be called Croaky. Hops were a must for Cab, and if he wasn't dragging, he was certainly in the stag line. Croaky was always out for a sport, whether it was Battalion football, pushball, or wrestling. A true Southerner, accent and all, Gabby is easy to get along with, as his future shipmates will happily discover. Company Spam' 4, 3, 7.

Is it an old Berea College friend, or just one of those femmes he met on that last yacht trip? Fanny was on the sailing team for two YWQAAQN, years and also a helpful addition to our Battalion football team. He always took the time to understand things and worked with the same determination that was evident on his face, but still he a.lways had a minute in which to offer friendly advice to someone who was not as fortunate as he academically. Conquering French in his only clash with the Aca- demic Departments, nothing should stop this industrious and practical fellow in whatever he does.
