USNA Class of '63

Electronic Lucky Bag: Second Battalion

Arne Edward Johnson

Bakersfield, California

Hailing from southern California, Bud left the land of sunshine and came East to invest in a Naval career. A standout in all aspects of high school life, he continued to excel upon reaching the Academy. Bud was one of the select few who was able to apply himself quite successfully to the rigors of the academic life while at the same time contributing a great deal to the spirit of the Brigade by his unselfish participation in its extra-curricular aspects. Bud worked as diligently in his positions as Sports Editor of the <I>Lucky Bag</I> and member of the Public Relations Committee as he did in the classroom and on the athletic field. Utilizing a natural capability for leadership, Bud has been a credit to the Naval Academy and will surely become an outstanding officer when he takes his place in the fleet.

John Michael Johnston

Fairfax, Virginia

Mike, commonly known by his classmates as Egor, hails from nearby environs. Being the son of a Marine, he decided the best way to carry on the tradition was to enter the Academy. Upon entering Mike was an instant success both on the athletic fields and in the classrooms. Having concentrated mainly on studies the first year, Mike shifted interests somewhat and could be seen on his Youngster year weekends with many a different girl on his arm. Mike not only excelled with the females, but could be seen giving his all on both varsity football and intramural athletic teams. With his perpetual desire to be on a winning team, and coming from a family of Marines, Mike naturally leans toward Marine Corps after graduation. Mike's ability to do the right thing at the right time, along with his cheerful smile and natural wit, should make him an asset to the Corps.

Thomas Howard Jones

Reno, Nevada

Tom put aside his guns, knives, and fishing rods and left the prairies and mountains of Nevada to spend four active years by the bay at Annapolis. Academics were no problem for Tom, as he excelled with a minimum of study and a maximum of relaxation, while devoting his spare time to the varsity lightweight crew, where he won his "N" as a standout oarsman, and to touch football in the off season. Although somewhat removed from the fields and streams, he still retained his love for hunting and fishing and was always ready to go by the time leave came around with the chance to head back to Nevada. A good deal of Tom's time was taken up by his never-ending search for an unbelievably perfect girl. Tom's future in the service looks very bright due to his sincerity, ability, and personality, and we predict that eventually he will return to the West on a ranch somewhere in the mountains in order to pursue the outdoor life again.
