Born in Constantinople, he learned four languages and then came to America at the age of three. After living in New York City, Val joined the Navy and then entered the Naval Academy Preparatory School, where he was top man in his class. Val will always be remembered for his ready smile and for his popularity with the weaker sex. The Mad Russian is as much at ease in the ball- room as he is in the classroom. Val's sparkling humor and sincere enthusiasm will always be a ready morale booster for his shipmates. Smooth sailing, Val! Rzzsrian Club 3, 7,' Vice-Clzahman 3,' Chairman 7. Weber!

The Dumplin' has lived up and down the coast and knows quite a little about quite a lot of the more interesting ports. A ugougei' man, many sided Rosie has gouges on everything. What he can't tell you at once, he can ind for you in a hurry. His most famed trick is that of dragging continuously on the very same pay we get. As yet, no one has discovered his secret.

A verit- able woman charmer-until one charmed him- Lee has finally devoted all of his abilities to one. Hailing from Blanchester-famous for being near Cincinnati-Lee brought his pool-playing ability to the Navy. Pre-naval days saw him studying to be a coach, but the Navy saw fit to take over. Other accomplishments rest in keeping the com- pany on top athletically and delving into regions of higher finance. Itis hard to combine truth with originality, when there is only one way to say 'cswell pal. Good sailing, Lee! Battalion Tennis 4, 35 Spanish Club 4, 3, 75 Radio Club 4, 3, 7,' Boat Club 4, 3, 7.

For l A Y A L l most of us, this would have constituted a momentous decision, but Don took it all in stride, the word worry wasn't a part of his vocabulary. He didn't win the Diamond belt for excellence in academics because his hours of recreation didn't allow ample time to devote to superfluous study. But Don made his grades with no strain. Definitely a Red Mike,'l Don had no diplomatic relation- ships with the fairer sex. Although many have tried to shatter this record, few have succeeded. Good luck, Don-'cTake her down.

He's always been that in ii, way, never failing to win friends by his quiet but capable manner, always setting a perfect example of propriety. Behind his reserve, there lies, however, an ability consistently to hold his own in academics with little worry and concern. Butever since his days at high- school in Lincoln, Illinois, and later at Lincoln Junior College, study- ing has fought a losing battle against those after- noon football games and those winter days of ice- skating. His tremendous interest in sports and his amazing reticence and patience have always awed his classmates. It's fair to assume that these char- acteristics will in the future bring him admiration and success.

gohn gordon Ulammer PORTLAND, OREGON T Here you see a real westerner, a man to whom the rest of the United States is just Q - ' 'V cc t east. It won't take long for Gordon o tell you of the beauties of Mt. Hood and Crater Lake. Gordie came a long way, but once here he surprised the Academic Departments by starring throughout his stay at the Academy. He was outstanding in everything he undertook, whether it be academics, dragging the scores of pretty girls he knew, running on the track and crosscountry teams, or just taking liberty. The Naval Academy will remember his mental prowess, but his classmates will remember his keen wit and sparkling personality.

Studying never bothered Doc, but he managed to stay well up in the academic race. Rilie, track, soccer, and Dago'l Club kept him busy yet he always had time to join the fellows and add his stories and gestures to the fun. The sins of the system never failed to bring a healthy protest from him. A good friend and classmate ashore, he will prove a good shipmate at sea.

S. S. Calyfornia. If you ever want to hear a good sea-story, just ask Bill to tell you one. Many of us first met him when he came to the Naval Academy Preparatory School at Norfolk. Since then we have found him to be a real friend and a helpful roommate. He is a salty Sam if we ever saw one. Here's hoping he carries the iight that he exhibits in his battalion football games right back into the Fleet. Good Luck, Bill.

The first thing he had to i l A 1.2 1 :ft :Xffl fs was spend the whole evening before his physic examination stretching up to the 5 ft. 4 in. heig requirement. Next the Academic Department too- a turn at him, but Hopl' came through after tough fight. Don't be fooled by his size, for, hasnlt hampered him in any way, be it athletic dragging, or entertaining us with his everlasti Western wit. Hop', will be a good man to kno out at sea, for he's certainly proved that whe there's a will, there's a way.
