Propeller Club Band Watch IV Old Guard Softball From the wilds of Braintree Highlands George came to M.M.A., seeking protec- tion from the approaching duck season. But the Duck soon found that youngies were in season all year round, even if they were as innocent and mild-mannered as he. George has spent a lot of time in the engi- neering spaces, but most of it was used as a 3rd classman avoiding the engineers com- partment. George took a lot of ribbing about his Cadet Ensign George Stewart Duc 1660 Washington Street Braintree, Massachusetts attachment to his studies but his sterling play on the Softball team and his store of sports statistics proved that he didn ' t spend all of his weekends reading Kings and Os- bournes. It will be hard to forget his many matches of wit with Muff and his incred- ible knowledge of engineering. As long as George doesn ' t antagonize too many of his superiors by correcting their mistakes, he should have a quick and easy path to his chief ' s license. 27

— ■f Arthur George Aldrich, Jr. Henry 10 Marble Road Gloucester, Massachusetts From the draggers of Gloucester to the good ship Chun came Henry Aldrich the Gloucester fisherman. As a young man Henry was quite a story- teller and many a night he spent in the port aisle entertaining the upper jobs, including of course, Duke and the Fog , with his thrilling exploits. As our first section leader Henry proved himself well able to control the masses, so much that he became a private eye for the Doucet Detective Agency. Many days Baseball St. Thomas Touring Club Propeller Club Basketball President T.C.S. Club found Henry and the Fog engaged in extra curricular activities either in short hops to Hyannis or skin diving in Buz- ' zards Bay. Henry will always remember the ports he visited, especially Ciudad Trujillo and Havana, and the friends, female and other- wise, while cruising on the Charleston. None of us will ever forget Art, for he was another of those Gloucester fishermen who go down to the sea in ships. 28
