Electronic Lucky Bag: Fifth Battalion

James Edward Killian

Arlington, Virginia

Jim was determined to make his mark at the Academy and con- stantly kept his eye upon the goal he had set for himself many years ago, becoming a competent naval officer. A better than average athlete, he personified the equation "F=MA," because, although his stature was small, his boundless energy and acceleration created a force which enabled him to compete outstandingly on the varsity fencing team. This energy wasn't confined to athletics. He had time, and enthusiasm, for everybody and everything-with the possible exception of the English Department. Count- ing on boyish charm and a multitude of freckles, Jim was something of a phenomenon with the girls, and many a weekend found Jimmy escorting one of a dazzling aggregate of young lovelies-in keeping with his phi- losophy of "Share the Wealth." Fortune cannot help but award to Jim Killian the success for which he has labored so hard' and richly deserves.

Ronald Warren Kilmer

Martinsburg, West Virginia

Leaving the mountainous wilds of West Virginia, especially the little town of Martinsburg, behind him, Ron arrived upon the happy shores of the Severn one fine July morning eager to assume the responsibilities of a Midshipman. With his well-rounded personality and broad sense of humor he readily adjusted to the routine and discipline of the Academy system and was soon taking everything smoothly in his stride. Academically, socially, and athletically adept, Ron will always be remembered for his willingness to aid his classmates in their studies, his natural wit and love of fun, and his thorough devotion to various and sundry battalion and company sports. just as Martinsburg's loss was the Academy's gain, so will Ron's graduation be a benefit to Naval Aviation, his professional choice. Heartfelt best wishes for the future to a fine man, a true classmate, and a great friend of us all.
