NATHAN C. HOLWAY 60 Westmoreland Ave, Longmeadow Propeller Club, Century Club, Nate ' s closeness to the Captain was evident by their frequent tete-a-tetes at 1330 . . . There will be a Holway N. C. for the following named man. Bot ' s antics with Needle and Brow were overshadowed only by his affection for a certain Nice Old Man. After receiving his masters degree in Tonsorial Art , the barber of the Atlantic proceeded to become one of M.M.A. ' s most notorious dealers in C02. RICHARD F. HUBBELL 119 Birds Hill Ave., Needham Propeller Club. They are all just like trolleys; if you miss one, catch the next one. That ' s our Cal . Between cross country treks, Dear John ' s , and dreams of Florida deals Humphrey searched in vain for a flat soled shoe. However, this cute little fellow with the shiny cheeks through his untiring efforts in the machine shop did manage to acquire that coveted rate of crossed stilsons.

WILLIAM F. FITZPATRICK 5 Shirley St., West Concord Football, Baseball, Cadet Petty Officer, Propeller Club. A big PINK bubble of personality popped over the Academy one day and out jumped Fitzie. The triple-play ability of No. 6 soon became a legend in the minds of our opposition. Many times Pinky ' s questions extracted squeals of joy from Omar. His fans cheered him on with That ' s right Fitzpatrick, you ' re wrong again. His sparkling personality and earnestness gained him a place close to all our hearts during our term at M.M.A. DONALD J. FLYNN 39 Lockeland Ave., Arlington Class President, Cadet Lieut., Football, Baseball, Basketball Mgr., Propeller Club. After tiring of a lifetime of being chased by women, the Skipper of the Mallabarre II decided to give the troops a break and join our ranks. Loadstone ' s magnetic personality was soon felt by us all. Don ' s hat, though often mistaken for the running boat by Lopaus, still managed to keep it ' s salty 50-mission-crush and was a familiar sight in the fireroom. Many times on nights before a big dance his famous Don ' t worry, I ' ll get a girl to go brought screams of laughter from the troops. Because of his vast store of mechanical ability and sea lore we were not surprised to see this Marble- head Boilerman become the able leader of M division.

DAVID P. LOPAUS 49 Ocean Ave., No. Weymouth Band, Propeller Club. Immediately following his graduation from the Canteen, Mighty Mouse left his Alpine hat and rustic sword to begin his escapades with the big boys, which was bigger — Dave or that red hot sax? One of his numerous conflicts with Stoop almost put Dave out of commission and his heart- to-heart talks with Chippy oft-times resulted in near riots. One full week Dave managed to tear himself away from June to put his engineering ability to use on the Massachusetts Highway Sys- tem. His aggressiveness will carry him far in anything he chooses to do. JOHN T. O ' DONNEL 35 Saint Agatha Rd., Milton Propeller Club President The Old Warrior could often be seen on hot summer weekends clunking down the Neponset with a beverage in one hand and tiller in the other. We are eternally grateful to the Seabees for giving John to us to fill in the position of arbitrator in many a hot argument. Though he is a close friend of the Straps we have our doubts as to whether O ' D. will ever be an ambassador to Spain. His ability to become scarce at 1530 was overshadowed only by his good common sense and know-how. We will never forget John, for he gave us so much and asked so little.
