Electronic Lucky Bag: First Battalion

John Angus Kelly

Aiea, Hawaii

An island boy, John was appointed to USNA after graduating from Farrington High School in Honolulu. Being a track man in high school, John was especially good in company cross-country, in which he was top man. Johnny is also an able boxer and soccer player. Throughout his stay here, he has shown a marked aptitude for academics. John's easy-going manners, interrupted occasionally by provocation of his Irish blood, make him an interesting person. The most important single attribute to John's career at the Academy was being talent scout of the fairer sex. In this field, John was among the more proficient: he had that certain ability to snow any girl in a very short time. Unfortunately, he himself was not immune to their charms. Besides this, John is an avid sailor, a taste developed in the deep blue waters of the Pacific, and an amateur radio operator. His aspiration is to become a bistro piano player.
