WILLIAM C. CONWAY Scoop ' ' 26 Dunster Road, Jamaica Plain Football Basketball Full and By 1945 Muster Though devoted to his sack, when he is awake he is wide awake. Give us a few thousand words, Bill. Loves a good time, and has a sincere dread of getting ' tied down ' in any way. He is the first to give credit where it is due, and is the last to blow his own horn. Recalls a night in the wheel house when he was caught with a poetry book in his hand (which concealed a racing form). I was just reading ' The Ancient Mariner, ' Sir. Never depressed, always smiling.

JOSEPH P. CUNNINGHAM Pat 38 Augustus Avenue, Roslindale Company Commander Baseball Rowing Crew Show on Pilot Full and By 1945 Muster Joseph Patrick, whose mother must have kissed The Blarney for him many times, has an amazing faculty for talking himself in and out of any situation. His enthusiasm and ambition destine him for success. An organizer, he usually has the inside dope on any circulating scuttlebutt. Definite Navy material, he maintained top marks. . . Your friend when you need one most. THOMAS F. DALY Wang Skipper 52 Mason Street, Salem Company Commander A good combination of brains and brawn he is the top seaman in the class. Is independent and minds his own business. Never borrows but is the first to lend. He shrinks from the glamorous and superficial; is quiet but has a remarkable sense of humor. Abides by the Golden Rule. Disrupts classes with vehement discussions of Sou ' westers, trawlers and Gloucester in winter, with his buddy Oyster. 25
