Electronic Lucky Bag: Fifth Battalion

Kenneth Lawrence Grover

Wrangell, Alaska

Coming directly from Wrangell High School, where he graduated Salutatorian of his class, Ken entered the Naval Academy and was quick to prove himself a hard worker, an able athlete, and one who will always get the job done. Making an excellent showing in squash, boxing, basketball, cross-country, and soccer, he further distinguishes himself by his perseverance, friendliness, consideration, and unquenchable desire to excel. Having lived his life in the "Land of the Northern Lights," his travels across the U. S. and in Europe during the summers have convinced many a cute young lass that not all "Northern Lights" are cold, and maintaining a girl in every port keeps him on his social toes, showing still another aspect of his vigorous and adventurous outlook in living a full, respectable, enjoyable, and rewarding life.

William David Gunn

Great Bend, Kansas

Coming from the rolling plains of Kansas, "Gunner" found little difficulty on the tossing seas of Naval Academy life. Amiable, good natured, and always ready for a laugh he was everyone's friend. He was soon the terror of the company sports teams whether he was kicking a soccer ball, catching a long pass, or wielding a softball bat. He found his weekends and his books seemed to go together and that only an occasional movie or girl, could deter his desire to learn. It was during the summer that he was at his best when he could show you a lot of laughs and things to do. His true love was Kansas, however, and if you could believe him, there wasn't a better place to live. Bill is sure to do well in future years because of his likeable nature and strong determination to conquer difficult objectives.

William Carl Gustafson

Phoenix, Arizona

One of the company's perennial file-closers, Gus can always be found at the back of any formation and the head of any pay line. An avid squash player and stalwart on the company cross-country teams, his favorite hobby is cutting Zees on the horizontal sawmill. Consistent with his artistic temperament, he maintains that he is a lover at heart, and vigorously insists that the girls have just never given him a chance to prove it. Gus came to the Academy from NAPS and has since gained a profound appreciation for the "better way of life." He says that any system is bearable if you can find a way to get around it.
