Class of ’51 President—Terry Overton Vice-President— Virginia Unander Secretary—Betty Lynn Treasurer—Marion Van Popering Jt was a new experience to step up from the mass of ordinary seamen to the higher realm of the offi- cers. It took a little time to create from their disorganization a well integrated, working unit, but it was a labor which brought appreciable results. It took a little while also to rub off the glossy coat of green veneer so prevalent among midshipmen. But at last they have shown their real worth, and it becomes apparent that they will do so increasingly throughout the next three years. Their main accomplishment was a play produced with the ensigns which gave us a preview of their potential talents.
