This usually took the form of calisthenics, casual jaunts around the track some twenty odd times, pleasure trips over the ob stacle course, back-breaking treks up and down the ancient stands of Mel ton field, and other items of medieval barbarism. Every so often the poor unfortunate would cast his dog-tired eyes to his more fortunate brothers cavorting blithly upon the field thor oughly enjoying his daily workout, playing softball, touch football, soc cer, basketball, etc., etc., and long for the day when he too would be so elevated to that esteemed position of taking 1'.

Navy boys are not to be outdone by the co-ed stalwarts, and each afternoon sees a mad dash for the all too few not so well-con ditioned courts on campus. 'T'he long and not too patient waiting line frequently offer suggestions as to how the game is to be played, and more often than frequently there is the not too subtile hint to give the other fellow a chance. But when one finally gets on the court there is anything from a calm peaceful game to an exciting game of "find" (the lost tennis balls). Nevertheless, personalities that are definitely personalities are to be wit nessed on every hand. The two most frequent visitors to the double courts are probably Sy Ameen and his smaller (?) and,far less quiet companion Fred Reese. They're both rather adept at the game, but we hear that Fred has a goodly line of tournament play be hind him. 11is skill is in evidence, you can be sure, and Sarah Bull will certainly have to take lessons if someone doesn't soon volunteer for the job of private instructor which she is offering free of charge to any brave person.
