MTS 'S- ,ff X JOHN C. ROME V Ranma ANCHOR 8: WHEEL Q RICHARD S. ROGERS O XQ ssDiCkao SMALL of stature but a man of prowess, Dick played with the Hooverites in football. He was a hard-hitting back and it wasn't his fault that the team didn't win the championship, This chap keeps to himself a good deal of the time. Therefore. we are led to believe that he does more than the usual amount of book work. He's sure to get past the naval examination papers. After lights he has been granted the privilege to study late. He burns the midnight oil far into the night. lVe know he will be a handsome officer, and he has the best wishes of all for a happy and successful career. .7 V V Row-1 wasn't built in a day and neither was her namesake, Jack, judging from that mighty frame of his. Jack came to football training camp last fall where he soon won a place for himself by his apt imitation of a man-n1oun- tain. .lack was also a member of the wrestling squad. and plans to go out for the tennis team later in the year. Romeo is not, as his name would imply, a ladies' man, at least not recently. Ever since a certain prom last fall, our Romeo has been definitely a woman hater. Better luck next time, Jack. His pet subject is discussing the achievements of his chosen institution, lvesleyan University. We wish you the best of luck at Wesleyan, Jack, but we hope that you will reconsider and try instead the Naval Academy.

ANCHOR 8: WHEEL F. MALCOLM RADEL Rattle', lVIAL,S great claim to fame is his unfailing ability to solve state- ment problems. Usually the bane of any Severnite's existence, they come naturally to this chap. Long or short, big or small, he solves ,em all. The quiet, friendly nature of the tall fellow from the hills of New Jersey has earned him many friends while at Severn. He was a faithful member of B squad and followed this up by trying his luck at wrestling. Neither of these sports can do him justice though, for it is at tennis that Mal shows his real wares. A Navy junior, Mal seems destined to follow in the steps of his forefathers. Best of luck. A659 VV CARLTON M. ROGERS i6Fl0Gt6T,, THE two teams line up. The Red center snaps the ball to a wait- ing back. Through the Red line charges a figure wearing a white jersey. The ball drops into his outstretched arms. The Floater has intercepted a lateral pass and has run sixty yards for a touch- down in the Red and White Thanksgiving Day classic. Besides being a member of the AU squad, the Floater played soccer. But his accomplishments - ' ,X N are not all athletic. He is much i d as a piano player, and is like the silver-tongued orators 0 when it comes to discussing his native California. He expects to return to his beloved California at the end of the school year. So-long, F loater. California,s gain will be Severn's loss.

ANCHOR 8: WHEEL HENRY D. SIPPLE ' Sisippii SIPP escaped the uncomplimen- tary nickname of Simple by virtue of his uncanny ability in the classroom. He ranks with such self-styled geniuses as Her- sheyl' and the Rabbi in his ability to get 4.0's. But Sipp has other claims to fame. He is said to know more girls in Annapolis than any other fellow in school, more even than such old-timers as the Swede. Sipp is a very versatile young man. Not satisfied with his scholastic and social triumphs, he also won his spurs athletically by playing in the backfield of the 130-pound football team last fall. In the spring we expect to see him on the diamond making good at that as he has at everything else. VV EVERETT W. SMITH, Jr. f Smitty,' ' SMITTY has been going to Severn for four years, which means that four classes have known him and have liked him as we do, for who could help liking this pleasant fellow? Despite his light weight, Smitty has been prominent in athletics ever since he entered. His first two years he played on the junior football teams, but his last two Q he was on the varsity team. He l played halfback, and was so good at it that this year he was elected to lead the team and made a good job of it. He has played lacrosse for four years and is quite an adept at handling a stick. lVe who enter the Academy will miss him, as he plans to go to college. The best of luck, Smitty.
