I of the boys as they dropped in on him often to get the hot dope, some chow, or just to shoot the breeze. With a year at Stanford, and a year at California, the Beresford boy had a good background when he arrived at the Academy. Out for varsity crew, he broke six oars while earning the reputation of producing the biggest puddle on the river. On the other hand, he held five stripes first class summer. That he was elected President of the class of '45 is proof of the esteem and respect in which he was held by his hundreds of friends throughout the regiment.

Through the -ef-44-+4 dark moments that only a midshipman knows he has stood the test of a true friend, never lacking in encouragement for others and never ad- mitting defeat himself. Not fond of academics, ex- cept foreign languages, Ernest preferred the free moments which he spent dragging, sailing, fencing, or in the gym. He began his quest for the Hner things of life at the tender age of five, and since then has been well rewarded in his search. After we've parted, the memory of his cheerful personality will ever be with us. Varriyz Fencing 4, 3, '45,' Sjlanislz Club 4, 3, 7. -..-' Wife Wressgrowe york GRENADA, MISSISSIPPI 5 ig: .

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. He spent his time either looking for mail from his lady friends or getting a sailing trip organized for a voyage on the Chesapeake.

In addi- tion to that he has managed to take academics in stride without taking too much time from his 'gsack drills. You can nearly always coax a good argument out of him, but watch out, for it's hard to win. His good sense of humor, his reliability, and his easy going manner will make johnny as good an officer as he has been a friend.

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.
