"From Muncie, Indiana, Ray's ambition has carried him to the shores of Chesapeake Bay. Being a Navy Junior, he has seen much of the world in its various phases and has acquired quite a cosmopolitan outlook on this sphere of ours.
Plebe Year Ray developed a great taste for sweets and his week-ends were invariably spent at tea-fights. After the dragging restriction was ended by one diag., he no longer allowed himself to be deprived of the charms of the fair sex. We have our weaknesses, of course, and he has his. The day is never complete without his daily letter. As a matter of fact, though, it is usually letters, both in quantity and quality.
Standing one on the entrance examinations, Ray, as a result, has never been troubled with the academics. His natural penchant for "shooting the bull" has stood him in good stead throughout these past four years.
Athletically he has excelled on both the tennis and squash courts. During Youngster Year, he easily made his major letter in tennis. Throughout his following years he has remained loyal to this sport. On the squash court Ray is a wizard with a racquet, thus accounting for his holding the title of academy Squash Champion.
His loyalty, friendliness, and willingness to help others in difficulty are attributes which make him a true friend. May we meet him again."
