AYERS Shawmut 328 EAST STREET HINGHAM, MASSACHUSETTS Ask Ray he Nose everything, at least he used to before the Public Health Service confiscated one of his more useful appendages. As a young man this cherished piece of anatomy was often employed to hold up the classroom walls and it also proved unbelievably successful in the war game Torpedo. Shawmut, the Hingham Indian, became one of the better engineering students during his three year stay and his congeniality, except toward the Hydrant, will long be remembered. Whether it be Navy or Mer- chant Marine let ' s hope you bury the hatchet deep in the tree of success.

Watch I WILBUR SHEPHERD Old Man VINEYARD HAVEN ROAD EDGARTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS The Old Man of the Island — no connection with Hemmingway — came to the state yacht via North Ears Airlines. After the release of a classmate, also with an appendage extrodinaire, Shep took over the 3rd class hair cutting trade. Soon he became chieftain of the famed Barberous Shop along with the position of Watch I leader. His willingness to work and compedence accounted for the rapid improvement on the Bay State and we are sure the Engineering Officers will back up the old adage: A dog is a. man ' s best friend. Keep pointing Shep and you are bound to go all the way.

BUTLER Butts 16 LANCASTER AVENUE REVERE, MASSACHUSETTS Butsie come aboard in the wake of his brother Frank, who had fortunately been in good standing with the class of 1956. Larry would have sailed through the year with ease if his affections towards a hometown lass had not kept his heart in other places than the Fwd. compartment. After leading his section scholastically the second semester Butsie decided to become a Snipe. He made this choice against his better judgment and his later regrets concerning the move proved, as usual, he was right and the multitude of helpful advisors wrong. His determination and integrity, which was shown in many courageous incidents enables us to proudly pre- sent this profile.
