0 Edward Hickey Enright Chicago, Illinois Hickey Chicken Inwrong HICKEY received his early Plebe training at the hands of ' 18. He came into prominence at the beginning of Plebe Ac year by meandering upon a gravel vs alk forbidden to members of the entering class. Suffice it to say, he received his postgrad- uate course at the hands of the Youngsters in that back corridor of the first deck. By hard and consistent effort Hickey kept the Aca- demic wolves at a safe distance for nearly two years but it was the Nav Department that finally caught him basking in the light of his achievement and knocked him for a ghoul, treeing him cold. How- ever, his hard work landed him in the savvier half of the savvy half of ' 21. Hickey ' s great weakness finally proved to be the women. First Class year for the first time he was transformed. Hard-working, ambitious, woman- fearing Hickey, an unrestrained snake with his hair parted in the middle filling out his hop cards for months in advance. Certain things, have come up which indicate that the state of mind is only tem- porary and even the most conservative entertain hopes for a speedy recovery. Buzzard. William Sewall Gardner Davis Brookline, Massachusetts Dimples Alphabet Dave FOR three years, Dave with his mandolin, Log and his ready wit has kept the rhino sp at bay. Just ask Piggy to help you and watch go to it — and do it right — even if he does have sleep in ' till the first period next morning. If you want something done in the literary way, let Piggy do it — it ' s his fruit. He is in his prime when he is developing some new idea for an entertainment or writing a parody. (He wrote the one on the Vamp. Nuf sed). He will always be in Smoke Hall when the gang gets together for some songs and stories. He can always go you one better in that line. In any argu- ment of the Horse-Shoe-Brown type, Dimples stands supreme with his Scotch-Irish wit, his Massachusetts logic, and his determination. You know the kind of man who seems to be at home anywhere — well, that ' s Alphabet all over. He ' ll dash off a couple of verses for the Log, and will then go out and in a scrimmage break up all the plays around his end. Yes, of course he ' s savvy, but he bushes often and in some way known only to himself, he derives a great deal of satisfaction out of those bushes. The Service is just the place you make it, and so Dave, we know you ' ll have a happy time out there, and that you ' ll makeit abetterplacefortherestof us.

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

Francis Joseph Riley Boston, Massachusetts Mike Irish Frank RILEY breezed in through the main gate early in Plebe summer and has remained with us ever since. The shoals of Academic life have never bothered this irresponsible, irrepressible young Bol- shevik. He has always been savvy enough to chalk up considerable velvet. Fussing is not in his line. He is an honest to good- ness misogynist. In his early career at the Acad- emy, Prof Bell inveigled him to attempt the grace- ful art, but Mike soon realized he was never intended to adorn the ballroom floor and can plead not guilty since those few and memorable occasions. However, our friend has always had one pleasant and consistent diversion and that is the national in- door sport. For three years Mike has held down a reserved box up in Doc ' s roof garden. His chief amusement inside the walls is getting up at 6:42 and running a ten second handicap against late blast. We think the Navy is the best place for Mike, for he can do things well when they are to be done so, and he isn ' t worried when there is nothing to do. Buzzard; Expert Rifleman. Joseph Seletski Glen Lyon, Pennsylvania bkee Joe rO! Thj Now that ' s worked this NO! Ihat s wrong, way. There you have Joe, a man whose second nature is Math, who can integrate as could Sir Isaac himself, and who can easily convince a Juice Prof that BuUard is wrong. Favored with natural savviness, and possessed of grim determin- ation in everything he undertakes, Joe has stood well above the century mark in Academic work. Crew claimed his dihgent attention Plebe year, but though wearing himself down to a shadow he failed to reduce his weight sufficient for a steady job as coxswain. Skee is clever with his gloves, and has entered the ring several times with creditable suc- cess. Generally quiet and unassuming, Joe has kept con- sistently away from the fair sex, but still water runs deep, and we believe that there is someone in Pennsylvania who is more than a friend. He goes forth with many good wishes, and if hard work counts for anything, his success is assured.
