Clifford Eugene Wfunler TAYLORVILLE, ILLINOIS W 'gifl Gene, arriving in Annapolis with a University of Illinois background, was a con- scientious young man, ready to answer all questions on the past and present of the pl 5 2-lr! Prairie State. Plebe year, Gene went out for his favorite sport, football, and stuck with it throughout his time here. Not much of a Red Mike, he was always looking for new fields to conquer, giving all the girls a whirl, but staying clear of entangling alliances. Although academics kept him occupied most of the time, he took an active interest in extra- curricular activities, assisting on the business staffs of the Luclgy Bag and the Trident. Whatever lies ahead, his winning personality will be a fine foundation for what success may come his way. lfarxigv Foolball 4, 3, 7, '45, Lucky Bag, Battalion Circulation Mag 7,' Italian Club 4, 3, 7. , , Thomas fllieir gollnslon Wlerce .Qndrew Qenren, jr.

After recovering from the shock of finding that the Academy was not co- educational, ,Iirn gradually got into the swing of the system. In athletics, his interest turned to box- ing, and for two years he has proudly worn the medal as a finalist in the Regimental boxing championship. Another record of which he is equally proud is that he never walked a step of extra duty in three perilous years of dodging D. O.'s. With that kind of luck to charm his life, it's diflicult to see how he can miss success in the Fleet. lik- F1 HT. ,'eTfll.J1' Hi' Fail L I ., ll .J Boxing 3, 7, b.N'1fg Qzlarlerdeck SOCl.L'4jl 4.

When academics started, he continued making marks, generally above 3.4, and found ample time in between to assist his less erudite classmates. The next two years were more of the same with softball and basketball claiming his spare hours. He entered the inaugural steeplechase race but was forced to stop half-way around the course to attend evening meal formation. Another highlight of his career came when Bob attempted to fry a Bull prof. for an I. P. D. on a Form W.
