Electronic Lucky Bag: Second Battalion

Henry Louis Bell, Jr.

Kenedy, Texas

Hank came to Navy after one year as a "Teasipper" at the University of Texas. During his four years here, Hank has found time for many outside interests, especially in Navy's musical organizations. Every Sunday found him eyeing the Chapel balcony while marching in and out with the choir. Youngster year we all saw him try his hand at muscial comedy with the musical club show. Though always running short, Hank has always found the way to buy "one more" record. His popularity and spirit here at USNA show that Hank will have a rewarding life as a line officer in Uncle Sam's destroyer fleet.

John Cecil Bender

Grandview, Washington

Hailing from the great state of Washington, John found the change from a good life of the West Coast to the rigorous routine at USNA to be little trouble. Excelling in academics, his name nearly always was found on the Superintendent's List among the top men of the class. His good nature and quiet manner won him many friends during his four years as a midshipman. Among his many interests were aviaton, music, intramural sports, the "Bull" Department, and liberty. On weekends, during his last two years, one could usually find John with his OAO here in Crabtown. Even though he has many career fields from which to choose, John is planning a future with Navy Air, following the footsteps of his firstie. The future will undoubtedly find him continuing to be a credit to the Academy and the Brigade.

William Edward Bowen

Savannah, Georgia

Bill is another of those southern gentlemen from the great state of Georgia. After graduating from high school, and attending Marion Military Institute, he joined the Brigade. Since he has been on the banks of the Chesapeake, he has made quite a name for himself as a gymnast, making the parallel bars his event. During second class summer, he stayed at the Academy to teach the plebes the tricks of the trade---gaining another name for himself from the new class. The members of '65 still remember the superman of the extra duty squad.
