Harold Edward Bahr, Jr.

Harold hails from Texas, coming to the Academy directly from high school. Since he has been here, he has displayed an avid interest in Brigade activities and is a member in both the Chess Club and the Stamp and Coin Club. During the winter he participates in Brigade Boxing, and he works equally hard at intramural sports during the other seasons. Harold possesses a warm friendly personality and can always be depended upon to help out where needed. His easy going attitude about life makes him esy to get along with. His philosophy about life is that there is some good in everyone and, if given a chance, it will show up. We, his classmates, feel that he will be equally as successful in the Fleet as he was in the Brigade and wish him good luck and good sailing.
