Mticharel Oliver Miuughey Never before in the history of man has a human being been so magnificently endowed above the neck. The head (7 and Vs, if you please) hails from Ridgewood and came to C. G. A. straight from Brooklyn Tech. He is notorious as a sea lawyer and is accredited with an oral victor y over Peevy. Naturally vested with an infectious laugh that seems to originate in that vast cerebral cavity, Dick has been known to get mixed up with women. Rock is a swimmer of wide renown (as a swab he led B Company to a crucial victory); he has even learned to run in the past few years. His belief in hard work, general objectivity, and natural self-confidence, plus an unlimited mental stowage space, will lead him to success.

? ' V Grub — at first glance rather quiet, ' almost shy, seeming to pos sess the naivete of a freshman in the old fashioned boarding school. But on better acquaintance one finds real substance in the form of a well practiced wit, an easy conversationalist and an old hand at any social function. A touch of Oxford, a dash of Yale, a pinch of Dartmouth, and a seasoning of Harvard couldn ' t do any better, and to think that little old Coast Guard did it alone. A real Don Juan, always finding dates for the dateless and still ending up with more than enough for himself. Never let studying interfere with bull sessions and yet always academi- cally high when the final tallies came out. To top it off. Grub- ber ' s main ambition in life — to be a song and dance man.

i ■9 «■» Jaseph Paul ilratha Joe came to us from the state of New Jersey (the part without swamps to hear him tell it). A red mike during his swab year, he considered women only as a necessary part of the cadet outfit for formals. The years have seen a change and he now reports to a local lass regularly. Although an eager student at first, Joe fell into bad company and got into the habit of indulg- ing in nightly bull sessions. Nevertheless he has managed to stay with the middle crowd. A firm believer in class rates, Joe made the mistake of assuming that second classmen don ' t get restricted (he soon found otherwise). Being quiet and easy-going except for an occasional blowing off of steam, Joe will easily fit into any shipboard scheme. HIGHTSTOWN, N. J. Allentown High School Company Guidon 30
