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.

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 I V . FRANCIS EDWARD SMITH, Jr. Smitty VVHEN we first heard that Smitty was a former college student, he took on a forbidding aspect in our minds. lVe visioned some sort of grim creature, with whom we would never get along. But a few days' of Smitty's company soon convinced us that we were en- tirely wrong, and we were mighty glad of it. Smitty was on the B squad football team in the fall, and as a guard he was consistent always, and brilliant most of the time. There is only one trouble with Smitty-and that is that he doesn't let us see enough of him. The best of luck, Smitty. VV WILLIAM M. STEVENS Sieve Bill STUDYING never seems to bother Steve as it does so many of the rest of us. Day in and day out, morning, noon, and night, Steve is always busy. His few idle moments he devotes to the intri- cate game of contract in com- pany with such great minds as Rome, Lewis, and Davis. But Steve has not limited his accomplishments to the field of mental endeavor. Last fall he was a member of the A squad and he later became a valuable member of the wrestling team. VVhen baseball starts in the spring, this genial lad from Delaware will undoubtedly do his share on the diamond. We wish him luck, but we shall be sorry to see him leave.
