Elwood Curtis Wilbur, Jr. Woodyi' Hampton, New Hampshire Marine Engineering Out of the very civilian sands of Hampton Beach to the not so civilian sands of Castine Beach came Woody', Wilbur. He seemed a little timid at first, but for some reason he managed to fit into the everyday gross-outs that the boys knew so well. One good thing to remember about Woody is that no matter how much temptation was presented before him, he never took one drink! Two or more, but never one. Also he had an immense tact when it came to women. He was always kind, considerate, and well spoken in the finer circles. He gained a letter on the gridiron asa frosh, but as most Middies go, so went Woody. Everyone liked Woody, though! Especially Buzzy, via the Hsecret con- ference . And who can boast of more than 18 guard rails at once. Don't look for Woody at sea, just go to UNH. Best of luck to a real fine sport.
