ALFRED E. SENIOR, JR., LTJG, USN
Alfred Senior, Jr. '57
Lucky Bag
From the 1957 Lucky Bag:
ALFRED EDGAR SENIOR, JR.
Ocean City, New Jersey
Al's early years at Navy found him buffeted by the Academic Department; but with the help of a low clutch factor, he managed to defy the law of averages and steer clear of "Bilger's Gate." The time he saved on his studies was spent improving his social penmanship with the sweetest little gal in New Jersey on the other end of the correspondence. When not waiting for mail call, Al could usually be found down on the tennis courts where he displayed a smashing service and good energetic play. Photography and dragging comprised Al's extracurricular activities, both of which he entered into with enthusiasm, trying hard to reach perfection in both.
He was also a member of the 8th Company staff (fall) Fall Leadership.
