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.

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!

fllialler Wlarwey Qodshall OXNARD, CALIFORNIA . 'A ' Being a true Californian, Walt never lost an opportunity to build up the West Coast. Homer could always be mustered for a description of a moonlight ride down the coast or a lazy afternoon on the beach. Florida oranges and Maryland weather were his pet peeves. When the time came to buckle down or lend a helping hand, Walt was always there. Most of Homer's time was consumed planning a weekend yawl race, for he skippered the yawl FLIRT. Al- though contented as a baby when out on the Chesa- peake, he was as furious as an irate O. D. when in there pitching for the company. Knowing the number of his Academy friends, we feel certain that Bub will make a great shipmate.

With a quick smile and a mod- ! est manner, he has always stood ready to help out anyone in distress. Academics never gave Buck an extra worry, and during study hours, he could always be found either sleeping or eating. Football, good music, and dragging Hlled the re- mainder of his time. Between football seasons, Dick was lively in intramural sports and spent consider- able time yachting on the Chesapeake. As an honor member of the Flying Squadron, Buck could never be called a Red Mike on dates of Hops or weekends. No time is too soon to find Dick as a shipmate again.

After exploiting the dubious joys of the Navy juniors for two years, he branched out First Class year and was frequently seen at the Hops guiding some queen about the floor on those P. T. boats he called feet. As an athlete, Jo sparked the Battalion track and 5 crosscountry teams and spent many a Sunday morning on the tennis courts. During study hours, he was frequently seen with his nose in formidable volumes on obscure subjects like ornithology or Freud. An ability to 'fget the stuffy' quickly and a clear professional mind should get Jo places in the submarine service. :Pi Varxigz Sailing 3,' Battalion Cf0556DuIlllj! 3, Ballalian Track 3, 7,' Newman Club 4, 3, 7,' r Baal Club 4, 3, 7,' Lucky Bag 7, Printing Editor. ..
