ntnnnnnn nussttl. utunv ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND MAnYLAND's gift to the Coast Guard-that's Russ. We've known him ever since the days when he had some hair, and that was yemfr ago. His life in Annapolis had already made him wise in the ways of uniforms. In stormy class meetings, it was usually Russ who appealed to reason, and many are the times when his extra year's-worth of knowledge about the Academy made things a lot easier for the rest of us. After the first cruise, we agreed that South America was sacred, after the second, B. R. was a real-estate expert with a mortgage on an air castle in Spain. An amazing ability to meet people and make friends has insured him a good time at every port, even at New London. Love of magazines, letter- writing, and bull-sessions has damaged his marks somewhat, but the results of a few re-exams prove be- yond all doubt that he can produce in an emergency. His major athletic achievements include covering the distance from Connecticut College for Women to Chase Hall in 2:28, as well as doing a good job of managing both the sailing and basketball teams. The first train out to New York each leave won't be the same without Russ along, but we'll have the comforting knowledge that he is doing bigger and better things in the social world, wherever he goes. He has all the makings of an excellent oflicer, and that swishing sound we'll hear before long will be Russ going places-fast! Platoon Commander, Sailing Manager lg Basketball Manager 1, Tina RIPS Photographer. 32
