Clzarfed Walton giled LOGAN, WEST VIRGINIA Rarely has a midshipman gone through the Academy with such a variety of nicknames as has Charley Giles. The one most typical is probably Little Beaver, tagged on him after many tales of his exploits as an Eagle Scout back in Logan, West Virginia. Cathode managed to keep most of his class- mates in good humor and high morale with his matchless and innumerable jokes. Beaver's most significant contribution to the happiness of his classf mates other than tall taleftelling was his kindness in permitting his friends a chance to meet his very nice cousin. An aviation anthusiast all the way, Charlie will probably be one of the leading Naval aviators during his career. Raymond grancid girarvL fr.
