As bright and starry eyed swabs we delved into the mysteries of composition and the weekly essays. After struggling through our own puny elTorts we discovered the way the problem should be handled by reading the great author ' s works from Plato to Poe, interspersed with tiie events leading up to these masterpieces.

p R O T E S T A N T Chaplain R. C. Ilolu-nsiein Our Interlaith Memorial Chapel, high on the hill, has a light isible for miles. This light has warm and radiant glow that fills the hearts of all who pass this way. When the never-ending problems of cadets seem to overburden us, the Academy Chaplains are always on hand to give us a helping lift. Chaplain Hohenstein is stationed at the Academy, while Chaplain Nolan is stationed at the Training Station in Groton. The warmth and friendship that flows from these men is an inspiration and guiding light to all of us. Services at the Academy commence at eight o ' clock with the Catholic Mass. followed shortly thereafter by the Protestant Services. Cadets attend the service of their choice, either here or at any of the many churches in town. During the week the religious life of the cadets is not forgotten. There are midweek vesper services and occasional early morning masses, always well attended. A Bible study group meets weekly, and is conducted by cadets to further this very important aspect of Academy life. Here, as elsewhere in the service, it can be said that the Chaplains are a friend to all and are never too busy (as in that age old expression) to punch your card. Z Chaplain li . F.
