James Vincent Ragano

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Little did the Pittsburgh Pirates realize how loyal their fans really are. "Rags" defied the immortal "Blackjack" by listening to the deciding game of the 1960 World Series. Although the Pirates won, "Rags" lost his radio for thirty days! It has always been an inspiration to us, his classmates, to see the desire and effort put forth by "Rags" to excel, whether it be in difficult scientific studies or on the basketball or tennis courts. Not one of our classmates has driven himself harder; not one of our classmates has as much to show for it. "Rags" is talented in many, many ways, and though he is eager to derive the most from his own ability, he is even more eager to help the other man in any way he can. Many of us have him to thank for passing grades. We have "Rags" to thank for many good laughs, too. The Academy's loss will be the Naval Service's gain.
