sf lie, V 1 'Ms Sf' ' ..v, . Hs ,- Sidney Stuart Stather, Jr. Little One Bangor, Maine Marine Engineering Little One brought with him from Bangor not only fine qualities of com- patability, loyalty, and a desire to make friends. It was never a surprise to parents Sid and Amy to have a dozen or so Middies drop in for supper or the entire week-end. One could always be sure he was in Sid's room by the conglomeration of miscellaneous automotive gear. Carbu- retors and fuel pumps were everywhere. During his stay at the Academy Sid proved many times that he was a Middie-True , on campus or away, in the mess or at Farmington, at athletic contests or on week-end excursions. So, as we depart on life's voyage we salute this fine engineer on his accom- plishments and wish the best of every- thing to a fellow Middie and a life-long friend.
