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.

To assist in this, we are fortunate enough to have at the Academy a well equipped infirmary and a competent staff of U. S. Public Health Service personnel. Be it a stomach ache, a broken limb, an aching tooth, or a common cold, the men in white are ready to provide prompt and elTective treatment, including — if you ' re lucky — a most welcome NF(I.) to ease the pain. Capt. T. S. McGowan The Physical Education department strives to achieve that part of the Academy Mission which calls for the development of sound bodies and stout hearts. Headed up by CDR Johnny Merriman. the unofficial dean of New England small college sport, the department runs an extensive program of inter- collegiate and intramural sports, as well as scheduled physical education classes. The fact that the Acadenn is able to compete on equal terms with colleges man times its size attests to the elTectivcness of this de- partment. F . Dingwerth, C. Rhodes, R. O ' Leary, E. Camphel G.
