Raymond Gierlcllall Qliwer BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 5 'M' ' Ray came into our midst with one eye - to the future, the other to what he had left behind, and a winning smile for every- thing he ran up against. But this, of course, wasn't all. 'Tis said that the sight of a set of drawing instruments still affects him strangely, but let this not be taken as a measure of his ability, for academics never were a real problem. As for sports, he played them all well, establishing himself as one to watch in Varsity wrestling. Yet for all his strenu- ous activities, Ray is characteristically easy-going, and a real addition to any party. We know heis tagged for success.

After graduating from high school up Baston'i way, he entered the Navy .V f -A-at with hopes of making the Academy via the Navy Prep School at Norfolk. He accomplished this with flying colors and has been overcoming all other obstacles since then. Knowing the finer points of Dago, he made interpreter and could al- ways be counted on to give his classmates the dope on the day's assignment. A cheerful disposition and a consciousness of duty characterizes Tony. After classes on Terrible Tuesday he would usually salvage the day with an imitation of a prof or with one of his spontaneous wisecracks. He will be a valuable officer to any ship but he has his eyes set on a destroyer. T L 1 Jr get Italian Club, Pres., 7. -Q,-1-,. .. . ...N - ...- .. . . . ..-.- -. gg ni- ...

Aviation, a la Severski, has been his one complete ob- session and has formed another of his goals. An agreeable combination of the serious and A- A carefree exercised at the right moments has won for him much success. Blzzsl' is the word he would prefer, but we will compromise, and say that he is always ready for fun. Wrestling 4, w45t,' Radio Club 3, 7. 308 ,..

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. He got all the letters, supplied all the chow, and in general he was the intelligent, easy to get along with person future shipmates will find, Barkelball 3, 7,' .Newman Club 4, 3,' Boa!

A swimmer by instinct and long training, Jack broke all existing Academy breaststroke and medley relay records, ending up as captain of the natators. Elected skipper of the Hop Committee by popular acclaim, jackie was largely responsible for 1945's unforget- table Ring Dance. Villain of a long trail of broken hearts, veteran of many a sailing race and cruise, razzle-dazzle artist of the company softball league, buddy and pal of a thousand friends in need, im- promptu performer, and doubtful cornetist, Jack has got what it takes, and if he hasn't, he takes it anyway.

Weber! Qurufard Reynolds CUYLERVILLE, NEW YORK Bob arrived on the Severn straight from the farm, with a way-stop at the University WF 5 of Michigan. How this background fits him for a naval career is a mystery, but he really gets this nautical stuff. Besides fighting the Nav and Seamo profs to consider- ably better than a draw, he spent most of what we laughingly called free time on the water. He pulled a very lusty oar in the crew, and got his command ticket for yawls. Almost every afternoon found him somewhere on the water, either sweating over his oar or lolling on the helm of a Yawl. Fair winds and good luck to a real sailor. Crew 4, 3, 7, '45, NA, Baal Club 4, 3, 7,' Rcce,bt1'ofz Commiilee 4, 35 French Club 4, 3, 7.

Deeply interested in music, he was a prominent of both the chapel choir and the glee Club. shone in lacrosse as well as in battalion swim- company wrestling and crosscountry. Henry -sually dragged to the I-Iops, and on several occa- ons was forced to break the standing record for the sh from town to the rotunda. VVith a conscien- us attitude toward anything in which principle involved, he is known to all of us as a man of iaracter and dependability. No matter what eld he may choose, his future is sure to be a iccessful one.

He fought a tough academic battle but it took a Washington belle to score a real victory. Let,s get the mail out, mate! seemed to be his favorite saying, and with due reason, for hardly a day passed that he did not receive a letter. Small but fast, he played an active role in battalion sports, track being his specialty. His winning smile, ready conversation, and good-nature should carry likable Dale to success.
