CHARLES NEWTON TOZER
RAMONA, CALIFORNIA

Hailing from Ramona, California, Chuck came to the Naval Academy via the Regular Navy and the University of California at Riverside. An excellent broad jumper, he belonged to the varsity track team two seasons of the year. With academics no great source of trouble, Chuck has found the time to be in the company of various young ladies on the week-ends. Set-backs were kept in their place by a ready smile and a sardonic sense of humor. Combined with drive and initiative, these attributes will provide the Naval Service with a capable and conscientious officer of which it can be proud.
