J. D. ROBERTS, BaTTalion Commander QUARTERDECK In keeping wiTh The impeTus given our smokers lasT semesTer by having Them aT Lake Anza, a place where we can'T sTain Tables and floors wiTh The ineviT- able overflow of good cheer, our beer busTs oT This semesTer were also given over To naTure. BUT no longer did we disguise Their obiecT wiTh The name of smoker , They were beer blows spelled wiTh such a capiTal B ThaT The park warden developed a pro- boscis durus when he discovered ThaT his lake was rapidly becoming 3.2. The aTTernoons quickly passed wiTh various chug- a-luggings and ball games always in evidence. Though when all was done, no one had enough oT a memory leTT To remember To bring The TooTballs back. ForTunaTely, however, someone had enough presence of mind To pile The saTuraTed sTiTFs in his car and de- posiT Them in TronT of Callaghan. IT was remarkable To noTice how, The more oiled DuTTy's vocal cords, The more unbounded his choral reperToire became, Though iT was all The more amaz- ing To noTe how iTs characTer changed The momenT of The arrival oT l.ieuT. and Mrs. LighT. All in all, Lake Anza is a beTTer place Than mosT To spend a TroThy aTTernoon, and iT is wiThouT any reservaTions ThaT we say They were 4.0 or should we say 3.2. BACK ROW: Duffy, G. W., l-leumann. J.

Yes, he made The faTal sTepl Roomie spenT his TirsT Two years aT UCLA where he made his leTTer in Track, and here aT Cal he has gained a repuTaTion as one of Those Mech l3l boys, and ias secreTary of Tau BeTa Pi. As for his Navy plans, he is Torn befween Two loves, sub- marines and desTroyers: perhaps he will geT one of These if he can learn To Take blinker aT more Than Ten leTTers per min- uTe. AfTer The war he wanTs a S400 a monTh desk job wiTh Three days off a week. . . he'll probably geT iT, Too. JOHN BOYLE CALLERY is a lanky sixfooTer born in Pasadena, Where The sun spends The winTer, California, and one hun- dred and sixTy-Tive pounds of pure man. He is a member of Psi Upsilon fraTerniTy and somewhaf associaTed wiTh a member of The Kappas. ln spife of The facT ThaT he is a Bus. Ad. major, he will sTill be a greaf asseT To The Navy.

Johnny plans on LighT Cruiser duTy and feels ThaT by all righTs ThaT The War should be over six monThs afTer he arrives in The Pacific. RICHARD WILLIAM CAREY. May This shorT arTicle serve To acquainf you all beTTer wiTh The deparTing hero of The Berkeley TheaTer of Operafions, The CasTlemonT Casanova, Dick Carey. Dick has exhibifed his winning ways noT only wiTh The femi- nine elernenT on The campus, buT on The baskeTball courT as well. IT was he who was The mighTy midgeT among The beanpoles on Nibs Price's championship varsiTy baskefball Team lasT winTer. l3uT Dick is noT a midgef in all Things. He looms as The inTel- lecTual gianT of The graduafing N.R.O. Poly Sci. maiors. Public AdminisTraTion was his specialTy. We all haTe To see Dick leave-buT our loss is The fleeT's gain. I wish a very successful cruise To a wonderful roomie and a Tine officer. - RICHARD WHITAKER DODDS is anoTher of Those boys from souTh of The Mason-Dixon line, claiming SanTa Paula as his home Town. Aimlessly wandering Through The prescribed cur- riculum, he has amassed sufTicienT uniTs, courses, and grade poinfs To claim a B.S. from The College of Business Adminis- Trafion. Dick is a connoisseur of spirifus fermenTi, as evidenced by his good sTanding in The Sig-Eps and in Phi Phi, The cream, or raTher The foam, of The beverage group. However. I musT dis- claim all responsibiliTy for ThaT fracfured arm and laceraTed scalp: you can blame ThaT on The CoasT Guard. Wherever he goes and whafever duTy he geTs, and l Think we'll see him aboard some Tin can, he'll be Taking iT ouT on The Japs for invenTing saki. BesT of luck, roomie, l've enioyed The pasT 478 days immensely. GORDON WEST DUFFY. Debonaire, man-abouT-Town, happy, and friendly, Duff wends his way Through The vicissiTudes as creaTed by Navy life wiTh a ready smile and familiar greeTing. A Typical L8iS man Gordo has refused To leT sfudies inTer- fere wiTh The broader aspecfs of a college educafion. Duff, manfully cuTTing himself down To Three packs of cigareTTes a day, wenf ouT for Track and reached The l1ighesT pinnacle of his college career when he won The lOO aT The I944 Fresno Relays. Especially renowned ThroughouT The UniT is Duff's abilify To keep so many women in such close proximiTy so happy and aT The same Time so compleTely unaware of each oTher's exisT- ence. Seriously, no one could ask for a beTTer friend, and I am sure his Take me as I am aTTiTude will Take him close To many. GLENN RICHARD FEIST is The man who is responsible for puf- Ting us To sleep and awakening us each morning. GeTTing buglers To play every day, along wiTh geTTing gas for his car, seem To be his main worries. One of The busiesT men in The UniT is This glib-Tongued roomie of mine. I say glib-Tongued because one of his greaTesT asseTs is his gifT To grab. FeasT, as he is called by Them who don'T know no beTTer. has Talked himself ouT of more TighT places Than mosT ever like To Think abouT. So here's a wish for FeasT, who, if my guess is correcT, will be Telling his Skipper how To run Things before The war is over. Good luck, roomie. RICHARD EUGENE FRIEDMAN is one of The sunny SouTh- land's maior conTribuTions To The UniversiTy, To The N.R.O., and as former Commander and presenT M.P.O.. To The far-famed Regimenfal Drum and Bugle Corps. Dick. one of The Top men To receive a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in OcTober, I944. was elecTed To Tau BeTa Pi as a iunior, served as Treasurer and is now vice-president He goT a C lasT semesTer, Though, bringing his grand ToTal of Those nasTy Things To Three. His aThleTic career as one of The more promising winners of The freshman ski Team was cuT short by The well-known Trans- porTaTion siTuaTion. For The fuTure he has his eye on The sub- marine service, wiTh an idea Towards invesfigafing The femi- nine possibliTies of The EasT CoasT. THEODORE FRANKLIN GAUTSCHI. This lad, who has The qualiTies of a scholar, engineer. and genfleman, has a long lisT of ex-girl friends in his liTTle black book which he has com- piled during Ten semesTers of college life. Some of his numer- ous friends hail him as The Grouch, buT never can you find This chap wiThouT a welcome smile. He has been a fine asseT in all inframural sporTs and has proved himself able in all of Them. His mafrimonial inTenTions wiTh one of The cuTesT girls in Los Angeles has caused The dis- card of The liTTle black book. One Ensign who will be welcome aboard any ship To add life and enioymenf To The Wardroom and To aid in TighTing perfecfion and precision is my roomie. JULES MORTON HEUMANN, alias Mr. V., and Romulus, is The only man who reTurned from The summer vacaTion wiThouT a Tan. You can easily pick ouT Heurnann in The R.O. UniT by his frog-like cadence which goes hep insTead of hup.
