Electronic Lucky Bag: Second Battalion

William John Stewart

Chula Vista, California

Bill came to USNA from Gods Country on the California-Mexican border, but only after spending a lot of time seeing the world as a Navy Junior. After some close shaves with the Engineering department, Bill buckled down to the tough academics of the academy, even employing a California cactus as a good luck charm during second class year. Bill possesses a tremendous amount of drive, which enabled him to intensify his efforts by sheer will power when necessary. Bill came to Mother Bancroft with very little knowledge of the fairer sex, but he soon made up for lost time. The same warm smile, sincerity, and honesty which won him a place in the hearts of his classmates won him the hearts of many female admirers. In addition to his interest in world affairs and good looking drags, Bill was well known for his efforts on cross-country course.
