EDGILLE V. HALL, LCDR, USN
Edgille Hall '42
Lucky Bag
From the 1942 Lucky Bag:
EDGILLE V. HALL
Weeksbury, Kentucky
Eddie
"Happy go lucky," from the Hills of Kentucky, that's "Eddie." No matter where or when, whatever Eddie attempts he'll just get by, but he'll succeed at the task. Never having missed a hop, Eddie's biggest worry is women. The rub is that the pretty girls can't resist him any more than he can resist a pretty girl. Always ready to help anyone, he's everyone's friend.
Battalion Cross Country; Battalion Soccer; Battalion Track; Radio Club 4; G.P.O.
The Class of 1942 graduated on December 19, 1941, less than two weeks after the United States entered World War II. The class had previously been scheduled to graduate in February 1942.
