JOHN JOSEPH MURPHY RocKN ' iLLE Centre, Ne York Muiph was born in a backwoods town called Brooklyn. He in aded the Academv with a group of his buddies from Bullis, set his roots, and determined to stav while beating off Steam and Skinnv. With a firm mind and determined manner, he set his course and should reach his goal easily. Traditional battles witli Woo Poo always end happily for the Murph ' s — his brother, Jim, is also a member of ' 55. An ardent sports fan, he lo es those Bums and also talks a good game of golf. Wonder if it ' s the stop-over at the nine- teenth that brings him back, ■e will ne ' er forget Murph as a boxer . . . Whats that slipping? BYRON BRUCE NEWELL. JR. Alex. ndri.a, ' irc.inia B.B., (Nails to his soccer teammates) nearly passed into the pleasanti-ies of civilian life. He was to be denied his ambi- tion of following his father and two uncles tlu-ough tlie Academv due to his e esight, but after a ) ' ear at Wesle)an University, B.B. ' s persistence brought him his appointment. Bruce lists stars, Varsitv soccer. Hop Committee, and the Log and Splinter among his many and varied interests. It is obvious then (to cpiote a pluase from one of our Steam books) that when the situation demands a combination of ability, hard work, thoughtfulness, and personality ' , the Navy can look towards Bruce. CHARLES MOULTON O ' BRIEN, JR. Baltimore, Maryland After spending thi ee years at Loyola College in Baltimore as a physics major, Charlie came to the Academy and find- ing little trouble with studies, helped the other members of the Fearless Five turn many study hours into happy hours. His love for the sea (Ocean City) and air hint to a possible career in aviation. Always ready to accept a challenge on any field, Charlie even tried skiing once. His inherent ability in the field of science and untiring effort to explain said subject have proved to be life saving in Skinnv lab. A sharp mind, quick wit and easy manner will be Usnay ' s loss and the service ' s gain. L 468 ■im i
