HITZ Tall, thin and quiet: that is the first picture We received of Hitz. ln the years since, the HIHUY pleasing facets of his personality have made him Hour Hitzf' HA friend in need, a friend indeed is the class opinion of Hitz. No matter what the Problem' Hitz was always on hand, which, in OUT book' rates him tops.

GORDY Gordon came from Blue Pointg his hair was blond and his thinlcing determined. He was one to sticli hy what he said, using his vocabulary fluently,-even if he was wrong. A sticliler for rules and regs, he chewed an offender out, using the report sheet only as a last resort. As our news- paper editor he pushed the paper from a small mimeographed joh to a slick, printed production of several pages. Gordy's untiring efforts in this endeavor rate him a salute as well as the niclc- name oi uFighting Steve Vvilsonfl for many were the nights he toiled over articles for the next edi- tion. And who will forget the museum he lived in, with the loot of three cruises strewn about the Walls? In Canasta a point of law would hring out his Culbertson to settle the argument. Gordy en- joyed his college days here, and his zest carried over to his friends. Dance Committee, Pistol Team, Porthole Staff, Editor Porthole. EDWARD JUSEPH HEROLD 2150 l..aFontaine Avenue, Bronx, N. Y. REDQ LOVER, GRUNTER Ed came to us from Cardinal Hayes High School intent upon hecoming an engineer: hut he soon realized that all worlc and no play malces for dull living. So the ulnoveru commenced opera- tions, and was soon surrounded hy admirers of the opposite sex. Though a few upper classmen were belligerent toward him, he soon mastered the daily routine, and in the Spring of mug year hecame the class, outstanding pitcher on the varsity nine. Unlilce many athletes, Ed had little trouhle with the academics of his profession. On our last cruise, Ed toiled through many a long night in the tailor shop and in the engine room. After four years of association with the Grunter, we lcnow that Ed will he successful in whatever he undertakes, lay virtue of his smile, personal- ity, and ability to tit into his surroundings.

Through the years he was to mold himself an impressive record slightly on the no- torious side. Twice and three-quarters a memher of the Century Club, Fred, it seems, was not quite the Captain's protege in the accepted sense. Cf course, Que Pas did have the had luck of getting himself caught almost every time he did anything Wrong, lout again he also had plenty of fabulously good luck, which he, of all people, needed. Fabulous Freddy is an exponent of old cars and naval air power. Until now, fortunately for him and us, the adventuresome Full-Hap has been grounded, however, soon he will he turned loose, and what will happen then few can predict. Que thing is certain: he will come down with the measles again. Propeller Club. RONALD VANCE HOLLDVVELL 40 Allen Street, New Hyde Park, L. I., N. Y. CCLONELJ RONNIE As President of the Marcus Aurelius Poetry, Ping Pong, and Canasta Society, the Little Colonel has presided over many a grim meeting, both at the Fort and afloat. Gn the cruise, he was usually in his uofticen in the Forward Troop Ammo, fondly dreaming of better days and his green automobile, affection- ately known as Lucretia Ronnie has been called the Colonel since in- doctrination, when his sterling command voice was heard for the first time, and he is so universal- ly known hy that sohriquet that many consider a re-christening in order. When the Colonel trots off on his last Iiherty from the grim, grey walls of Schuyler, a hit of the sunshine which has cheered us will go with him never to return. Honor Roll, Admiralys List.
