Joeseph Francis Carroll

Haddonfield, New Jersey

Joe came to the Naval Academy from St. Benedict Prep School in New Jersey. His family moved from Cranford, New Jersey, during his youngster year and he now calls Haddonfield, New Jersey, home. Having excelled in football and basketball at St. Benedict's, Joe played company soccer, basketball, and baseball at USNA. While most of his interests were along athletic lines, he found time to devote his talents to the Public Relations Committee and the Reception Committee.

After a year at the Philippine Military Academy, "Cas" had little trouble adjusting to military discipline at the Naval Academy. His previous training served him well during plebe year and saw him through the perils of four years of academics as well. During his stay at USNA, "Cas" made good use of his spare time by engaging in many of our extracurricular activities. He was a member of the Foreign Language Club, Radio Club, and the Reception Committee. As host of the different visiting athletic teams, "Cas" won many friends for the Brigade. His efforts on the Juice Gang helped make many Academy projects a success. Sportswise, "Cas" tried his hand at boxing, cross country, and gymnastics. However, swimming was one field which he took quite a while to appreciate. His inherent cheerfulness and cooperative spirit made his friendship a truly valued possession. "Cas" is a foreign national, and upon graduation from USNA he will receive his commission in the Philippine Navy.
