-i Charles Joseph Maguire Boston, Massachusetts Molly CHARLES comes from that quaint little old New England village of Boston. With the thought of Mass. our eyes go to his collar, looking for some- thing which is not there. However he has detracted nothing from the reputation of his native state, for he is an authority m Calc and Dago. Athletics, he took them all in. The sub and weak squads claiming no little portion of his spare time. Outside of these major sports, inter-class basketball comes next, though in the last mentioned sport he suffered the loss of two front teeth which caused no end of mortification, and produced a strange lisp until Doc could import two ivory pegs to replace the missing members. There is no place where Charlie is more at home than when over at the boathouse with a shell on the river, twice making his debut Plebe year as coxswain of the Junior Varsity he has never been absent. Youngster year our little one had given too much to be coxing one of our winning shells at Philadelphia, and hard to be satisfied by teaching the game to the third Varsity. Buzzard (I); Masqueraders (I): Crew Squad (4, 3, 1). Leland Wayne Morrow Chillicothe, Ohio Snookiims Duke THE first day that L. W. attended formations as a War Baby he found himself on the rebound charged with unmilitary conduct for turning his head in ranks. After this debut into Naval Academy life he retired from Extra Duty for the next three years and by the time of graduation his methods of avoiding the appearance of his name in the Morning Orders had reached a science. Those from Ohio will probably agree that Morrow comes from a good state, but we all express harmony of opinion that he was a small-sized man with big ideas when he chose the U. S. S. Tennessee for his home on the seas. During the time that we have known Snookums his chief delight, next to that of fussing in Annapolis, has been in making future plans. He always knew six months in advance what he would put into his suitcase for Sep leave. Perhaps Duke has already made his matrimonial plans and decided upon the location of a bungalow. This energetic and ambitious chap possessed, in addition to a big heart, a stomach of questionable capacity. Be that as it may, those who have had opportunities to taste frequent birthday cakes are in no position to criticise between what limits the capacity of a stomach should be integrated.

' .i w : ■ :4 w James Herschel Strother Dadeville, Alabama Johnny Mr. Dooley Herschel DUE to no fault of his own Johnny came to us from ' 20. After spending three months of his Youngster year in the hospital, he went on sick leave, and joined us at the beginning of our Young- ster cruise. The Chaplain, while visiting the hospital, nicknamed him Sunny because of the cheerful way in which he bore his hard luck. His cheerful manner and Southern accent, together with his ready willingness to help less savvy classmates, have made him a true friend and an agreeable companion. During the time that we have known him, Johnny has shown a lack of interest in hops and femmes in general, but anyone who has but one picture on his locker door and who talks and dreams of Sep leave as Johnny does is sure to create a certain suspicion in the minds of those who know him most intimately. The utter indifference toward the opinion of others whom he believes to be wrong, and the wholeheart- edness with which he tackles the hardest Juice or Steam probs is sure to stand him in good stead when later he is called upon to face much more difficult questions in the fleet. Buzzard. BUTCH has the typical build of a union meat cleaver. Dizzy as the day is long and forever letting loose his pent up energy in any form of a rough house. Napoleon and Annie Arthur used to tear the fourth deck up with the ardour of the Irish breaking up an Orangeman ' s parade on St. Patrick ' s day. Butch started out with ' 20 but his line didn ' t jibe with the ideas of Horse Shoe Brown and the other masters of the Queen ' s own. But when it comes to Math and its kin Butch is right up in the Big League. In regard to sports he was on the First Class foot- ball team but he has always favored indoor sports — especially the national indoor game. Always good natured, never rhino, ole Napoleon will take it easy, have a good time, and make friends wherever he goes.

r ' ' - ' S LuciAN Ancel Moebus Kenton, Ohio ' •Fish FISH gained his first knowledge of Old Navy Customs from the eager-to-be-hunting-Ger- mans class of Eighteen. He has the happy faculty of making friends easily and no one has moreofthem, simply because once made, they stay put. But the members of that worthy class appeared to be im- mune. His ability to explain difficulties beyond our ken was soon recognized and we remember him best sur- rounded by a ring of exponents of I don ' t see this, etc. Many are the wild tales he can tel ' you of Rock- port on the North D. , not to mention Coney Island and its mysteries. But don ' t believe him. It ' s all a pose. The time and efforts of our hero have, however, not been all confined to the Senoritas and the Ac Dept. He broke into the limelight Plebe summer by showing champion form on the mat and ever since he has given his best to wrestling. A roughhouse is his best diversion and Youngster year his organized crew of home wreckers was the pride of the Batt. Ask him how he got the name of Fish. Fruit for the Profs. Was that ReveMle, J. G.? Buzzard; Wrestling Squad (4, 3, I). Gilbert Barlow Myers Aurora, Illinois Gabriel Goof GABRIEL is altitudinous. For this reason, over which he claims to have had no control, his athletic endeavors have been largely confined to keeping off the weak squad. He did finally grace the natatorium First Class year until hearing the call of spring, whereupon he changed his metacentric height and pulled off. C. B. came to us with premeditated intent and purpose of carrying away all scholastic honors, but some years ' association with our method has con- vinced him that true merit is rarely appreciated. He is a savior in Steam and Radio. You will find him more often in the Juice building rnaking gadgets or in his room skirmishing with a slipstick or a mess of radio junk than doing anything else. Bolting from the rank and file de Rojo Miguel when the North Dakota lay in at Rockport, he acquired the name of angel and now rushes the fragile china with more or less ease and system. Under a sort of quiet dignity and his apparent re- serve Gabriel is good natured, hard working, and lacks no consideration. He is as a rule a better listener than talker, but he can heave the old Navy line as anyone will concede who has heard what follows this fertile prelude: Now, when we were up at Rockport — Buzzard. lJ«:iUi.,;..:;i:lu:d. ;ii,ili;..i.u;l-Jiili ;liiiJ:iiiii.ii...ii.liiilill;iJJ .i:S:S}fiC j 55 Wi
