JAMES GERALD SMALLWOOD. Unfil the Navy puf a sfop fo il, you could fune in any Tuesday nighf around 2l30 on KRE and fhrill io fhe commanding voice of my roomie, Jim Small- wood. Jim, The lifile man wifh lhe big voice, was fhe pafron sainf and guiding Iighf of California's Radio Workshop, and aspires some day fo be owner, manager, and chief boffle opener of a whole nefwork. Jim's olher aspirafion is fo gef married. Things look preffy sewed up along fhis line, fhough, because he's Ihe only man I know who regularly receives a housebill from fhe Kappa Delis. Jim's such a good guy fhaf I find if hard fo believe fhaf he's nof from Soufhern California. buf he claims Gary, Indiana. as his home. All in all, I'm glad fhaf l've been wifh him for Ihese fhree semesfers. and l wish him all fhe luck in fhe world on his L.C.R. THOMAS JAMES SNYDER. This roomie of mine is a Spanish maior from Vallejo. and alfhough we have had numerous wafer fighfs, cases of mislaid bedding, efc., we are sfill friends even fhough we are roommafes. Tom is a very valuable roommafe as his aunf keeps us well supplied wifh sunshine cake, cherries, apricofs, persimmons. and ofher welcome foodsfuffs: nof fhaf we don'f like fhe food here, buf we have very parficular fapeworms. We make fhis sfalemenf realizing fhaf if will be published lafe in fhe farm, foo lafe fo be bofhered wifh hungry callers. Tom plans fo Iravel affer fhe war, perhaps wiih his B average helping to secure a fellowship as an exchange sfudenf. T. J. had planned all along Io ask for desfroyer dufy, buf a shorf frip on a minesweeper made him wonder if he had befler nof ask for good solid old Ierra firma. EDWIN ANTHONY THACHER. Yes, he is known as Uncle Ed, fafher and advisor fo his fellow inmafes af fhe hall, and a genfleman of unfold wisdom. Among his innumerable acfivie fies have been frosh and varsify foofball, fhe D. G. house, and remaining scholasfically ineligible for ofher sporfs. Furfher, his proficiency in fhe arf of swimming cannof go unmenfioned af fhis poinf. His good nafure and looks, fogefher wifh a 'Ierrific line. have made 'ihe Uncle a very smoofh individual. He usually can be found operafing on fhe sfeps when he isn'f cafching up on some well earned sleep. Wiihouf a doubl' fhe oldesf sfudenl' in fhe school of Business Adminisfrafion, if has always been a race wifh Ed fo see whefher fhe Navy Deparfmenl would presenl him wifh a com- mission or refiremenl' papers. However, infense sfudy and am- bifion will gel' him fhrough and make Uncle Ed one of our mosl' formidable officers. . THEODORE WILLIAM VAN ZELST has buf one maior weak- ness, fhal' of receiving from fhree fo five leffers a day, fofaling almosf five hundred so far fhis year. lf is all very discouraging fo 'Ihe person who opens mailbox O30 and vainly fries fo exfri- cafe somefhing for himself ouf of fhal wad fhal' is always fhere. lf's his own faulf, fhough: he wrifes as many as he receives. Van's major is fhe roughesl one in fhe Universify, and I admire any- one faking a similar one. If is, of course, Civil Engineering. Van is a fransfer from fhe N.R.O. Unil af Norlhwesfern, and .......ORDO if was fhere fhaf he had fhe disfincfion of being commissioned for fhree days, because of an error made in Washingfon. He has had 'Ihe addifional advanfage of having been on 'Iwo cruises, making him fhe voice of experience in fhis regard. Van is one swell guy, nof discouraged by being called down for his hollywood on his fhird day here, quick' wiffed, con- siderafe, and very easy fo gef along wifh. He has fhe slufl 'Io make a 4.0 Naval officer. and I am sure fhaf he will be a suc- cess in whalever branch he is assigned. Good luck, Van. KIRBY PARCELL WEST, known also as K. P. or Zules by his shipmafes, hails from Oakland, California. from which cify he came fo begin his sfudies af California in Ihe summer of l942. Spending his firsl semesfer as a Civil Engineer, he changed fo Mechanical Engineering, and in his lasf semesfer he made anolher swifch, Ihis lime fo General Curriculum. A member of Thefa Xi frafernify, Kirb's favorife ioys in life are baseball-he played shorfsiop on fhe second company feam-camping, fishing, fhaf beaufiful Oakland bruneffe, and ships. The laffer are in prominence on fhe walls of his room, which display everyfhing from P.T. boafs fo baffleships. Kirby's greaf ambifion affer commissioning is fo serve in desfroyers. buf cruiser dufy will nof be fhrown away. NORMAN DANIEL WILLIAMSON, beller hailed as N. D. or Willy fo his friends, comes from a small fown in fhe norfh- wesfern parl' of fhe sfafe called Ukiah. And don'f fell him you have never heard of if, because he is very sensifive on fhaf subiecf. He is an Economics maior and some day hopes lo be- come a corporafion lawyer. Norm has carried his upper divi- sion work in fwo semesfers, faking an average of lwenly-fwo unifs a ferm. Even wifh all fhis he has managed fo mainfain a B average mos? of fhe fime. If is hard 'lo say exacfly how he gefs his good grades be- cause he can be found almosl' any affernoon in fhe sack or down af Epworfh. In addifion fo his scholasfic bend. Norm has olher good qualifies. Especially lhai of sforing away fhe liquor. Those who were al fhe lasf beer busf can feslify fo Ihaf. He is a swell fellow, and I wish him fhe besf of luck in fhaf deslroyer division. KEITH DOWER WINTON A foasf fo my roommafe's in order foday, And in his behalf l've a few words fo say. He's a prince of good fellows-always ready for fun. A shorf game of cards when musfer is clone? A Poly Sci maior from Livingsfon High, And he's proud of if, foo, fhough Heaven knows why. He's an all around alhlele and a BMOC, And he'll make a good ensign when we go fo sea. As Regimenial Sub-Commander he's a leader of men, And l've come fo Ihe conclusion fhaf i'i's nexf Io impossible fo fell abouf Winf wifh fhe silly verse fhal s 'rhe besl' I can wrife-all abouf how he's a Pi Kappa Alpha and engaged fo be married, and whaf a line sense of humor he has, and how he was fhe oufsfanding cenler on fhe I942 Freshman foofball feam. and fo explain exacfly whal' a damn good guy he is, and fo fell abouf all fhe laughs and gripes we've had Iogefher, and how I wish him good luck and happy sailing, don'f you Ihink so.
