Electronic Lucky Bag: Sixth Battalion

Robert Paul Abate

Bronx-New York City, New York

Bob hails from that little known part of New York City called the Bronx. Coming in right out of Manhattan Prep High School, he quickly discovered the notable differences between left and right, port and starboard and the numerous other nautical terms still unknown to Webster. His favorite pastimes are girls and sports. This is evidenced by his active participation in varsity, battalion and company track and cross-country along with handball. He also was Battalion Sports Representative for the LOG. Not one to be a social boor, Bob's also been connected with the Newman, Spanish, Foreign Relations and Photo Clubs while at the Academy. Upon graduation he has set many goals, the first of which will be to earn those coveted Wings of Gold. Whatever the future, we know that with his easy-going manner and friendly ways, Bob cannot help but meet success.

Philip Albin Adams

Baltimore, Maryland

Coming straight to USNA from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, Phil soon proved himself to be no mean hand with the books and slide rule, and his athletic prowess is well attested by his years with the Varsity Fencing Squad. Always quiet and softspoken, his ready smile and generous personality made him one of the most popular members of the Brigade- no less with the fairer sex than with his classmates. His personal integrity, friendliness, and intelligence have won him many friends and made him a credit to the Brigade; these qualities will continue to do so throughout his life. Baltimore and the Navy can well be proud of Phil.

John Warren Alford

Short Hills, New Jersey

Upon graduation from high school in Short Hills, New Jersey, Warren spent two fruitful years at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts, before coming to the Naval Academy. While at Worcester he was a physics major and a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. As a physics major at the Academy he was a pioneer in the validation program and was one of the few in his class to graduate with a major in addition to the regular Science degree. Warren's extracurricular activities were quite varied. He spent many hours on the WRNV concert series and was an avid attender of the Science and Mathematics seminars. He was in a field of his own during the spring and fall when he could be found sailing dinghies every afternoon and the yawls on the weekends. Through his unflagging zeal in every Navy cause, he will be a fine credit to the Navy and to his country in future years.
