Craig filberl Randall MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA From the land of the sky blue waters came the happiest man in '45. All the horrors of Plebe year weren't able to dent his line sense of humor, nor sober his ever- ready smile. No man in the regiment could keep pace with his countless dragging intricacies, nor equal his now traditional pap for driving a steamroller around Hospital Point. He had a yen for activity, and was never at ease unless he was busy. Randy fought his way academically, but still managed to command the ketch, Turtle, help design the class crest, and keep his classmates laughing at his endless antics. He lives for week- ends, and eventually hopes to spend one dropping bombs on Tokio.

Ever since, he I has busied himself with a great variety of activities. In the fall he played with the varsity grid squad, in winter he wrestled up in the loft, and in the spring he tossed the discus. Coupled with his athletic prowess was a frank, forceful manner which quickly earned him both the respect and friendship of his classmates. Stark, as he was dubbed in his first Dago class, was naturally smart and, therefore, never troubled by academics. Bill will always be remembered as an all around man who had the courage of his convictions and, above all, as a real friend. , ' I II.1al:,.-l,Aw:aIII I Varsity Football 4, 3, 7, NA, Varsity Track 4, 3, 7, IVY Varrigf Wrestling 4, 3, 7, w45tg Newman Club 4, 3, 7,- Cherr Club 4, 3, 75 German Club 4, 3, 7,- Reception Committee 3. .Wlan Qiarllell Jlheparal, fr.

Schimpf's big smile and easy laugh made an impression on the class as early as plebe summer, but he made his biggest impression when he did such a swell job of decorating the gym for our Ring Dance. With his personality and ability he should go far toward making this a better Navy.

Sailing the yachts was the closest thing we had to the life he loved, and Buck has spent the vast majority of his weekends since plebe summer on the salty Chesapeake. Without any college education and with very little studying, Buck has always stood in the top sixth of his class with a steady trend toward the top.

Res's pleasant, good-natured manner soon made him well liked by his classmates. He developed an active interest in sailing, and to this he devoted his time, ending his course as one ofthe sailing-masters of the Regiment. At dragging, be it hop, football game, sailing, or just dragging, Res', never missed an opportunity.

Work- ing in the copper mines gave him a prac- tical viewpoint and an appreciation of the liner things in life. Steve has always been willing to admit that Arizona stands first in everything except sea- eoast. That may account for his leaving Arizona to come to the Academy. Football, crew, and drag- ging have taken up his leisure hours since he came here. Always occupied, conscientious, Steve has never been too busy to stop and help anyone. A true friend and an outspoken one, he always lets you know on which side he stands. Varsigf Faolball 4, 3, 7, NA, Varrigf Crew 4, 3, 7, NA, Model Club 3, 7.
