Lucky Bag

From the 1955 Lucky Bag:

EDWARD FRANCIS ST. GEORGE, JR.

Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

When the Saint marched into the Naval Academy he brought with him his trumpet, swimming trunks, and Nancy. They sent Nancy home. Hailing from Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, Bub came to the Academy via Bullis Prep. A real cut in dragging, the Saint exercised his talents in liberty-hounding or resting up for the weekend. The NA-10 trips to Hood College were Bud's extra-curricular activity, along with singing before breakfast. Conscientious work kept Bud clear of the academic departments, and his good nature and helpfulness should help him in the service. Bud seemed air-bound after graduation, and jets should be no strain to a man with Bud's determination.
