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.

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- ...

Chandler Baslman tfwallow, ir. PAWTUOKET, RHODE ISLAND Known as anything from Chindlah to I 4 Wheatstone, Chan is truly one of those individual characters of ye olde Huitieme. - If he was not pounding out boogie- woogie on the squeeze box, Wheatstone was con- ducting a juice bonehead session with a pair of the boys. With due regard for Chan's coaching the Plebe Battalion fencers to an undefeated season the epic of Raoul's Academy career was his shoot- ing down a target plane on first class cruise. A typical weekend featured our boy roaming the Chesapeake in anything from a dinghy to his favor- ite, the VAM, with a pipe in his mouth, occasion- ally a young damsel on his arm and invariably contemplating the contents of his penny bank.

Not tall enough to - . be a crew man, he compromised by be- coming a manager and custodian of all the socks and sweatshirts.

The Ordnance and Juice profs always were a step be- hind him but Vic never gave them an inch. They say that the best sailors come out of the Midwest.

If chicken were not available, however, he would cheerfully substitute --i anything else that might be handy. In fact he interrupted his Hchowing down - just long enough for his daily workout and an Occasional glance at the books. He will always be remembered by his motto, I live to eat. His motto did not interfere, however, with his ability as a gymnast. Although Jack was a Red Mike, woe betide the unfortunate who was foolish enough to introduce him to his drag, for the rest of the weekend every other word on her lips was Woo-Woof, With that kind of a winning personality watch his smoke!
