TERRY E. EMERY, LT, USN
Terry Emery '57
Lucky Bag
From the 1957 Lucky Bag:
TERRY ELTON EMERY
San Francisco, California
When Terry journeyed east to enter the Naval Academy, he left many good friends in Bagdad-by-the-Bay. However, at The Factory, he soon made new buddies who early noticed his cheerful personality which was well combined with quick wit and his ability to grasp and control the many situations he encountered. In the academic field he always did well and was ready, at all times, to lend a hand to his less brilliant classmates. He was no stranger to the athletic program either. At Navy Terry developed an interest in gymnastics and specialized in the high bar and flying rings. The "Little King" will long remain in the memories of those who knew him.
He was also a member of the 2nd Regiment staff (fall).
