KTNGDREI. uzivnnnr nuns BARTOW, FLORIDA NAVARRE is one of our outstanding athletes. ln addition to earning ten letters in varsity sports- in football, basketball, and tennis'-Navarre has always found time to beat the field in ping-pong. l-le has also distinguished himself in other fields. I-le has numbered his share among the fair sex, managed to do better than well enough in class, and won his stripes in the Cadet Battalion. King is known to us all as a great practical joker, and he has never been known to turn down a bet. Seamanship is his pet subject. Prior to his cadetship he demonstrated his proficiency in this line as a sea-scout instructor at a summer camp. Navarre has a personality of which we are all envious. ln acquiring friends he is most accomplished, of course, all of his friends are of a high caliber comparable to his own. The excellent entertainment given the class by his Panama-bred, Boston-schooled beauties on our stops at Balboa, C. Z. will never be forgotten. Strangely enough, this lad, though one of the younger men in the class, has exerted a steadying influence on us all,' and has often prevented us from taking a misstep. This quality should prove invaluable to him in what promises to be a brilliant career.

cnnls vlncrnr Bnusu PITTSFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS WHENEVER a number of individuals come together, one member of that group will inevitably become the outlet for the ideas of the rest. As Class President Brush has been our outlet for two years. Considering his natural ability to give orders and the possession of an almost unlimited amount of nerve, his position of Battalion Executive Onicer seems a natural reward for three years of fruitful labor, Probably very few members of the class possess Chris' business ability. He first showed this ability as a member of the Ring Committee, but it was not until he became Business Manager of TIDE Rnvs that he found an opportunity to give it full play. One of our mottoes has become, If you want a discount, let Brush buy it. His flair for business can also be seen in his work as boxing manager. And speaking of athletics, Chris did find time to earn two soccer letters and to captain the team this fall. All these extra- curricular activities might prove disastrous to an ordinary man, but apparently they just' act as a stimu- lant for Chris. His number two academic position seems to have suffered no hardship because of outside work.pAn associate member of the Jane Addams Club,', and a well-acquainted man elsewhere, Brush spends few liberty hours in Chase Hall. Full of energy and brains he is a welcome addition to any gathering, be it for business or pleasure. A very useful as well as pleasant sort of fellow to have around, Brush fulfills all the requisites of a good shipmate.
