iflffll fiCfl If the Naval Academy Band is too often taken for granted, it is only because of consistent performance and reliable service. Its usual excellent performance is accepted as a matter of routine until a visitor jogs the midshipman ' s memory and reminds him he has one of the finest bands in the Country. Under the uncompromismg baton of Lt. A. C. Morris, the band has developed into a versatile group, but not at the expense of good musicianship. A visitor who has heard Tiger Rag Friday night, Emanon Saturday afternoon, and On- ward Christian Soldiers on Sunday cannot be blamed for asking how many bands the Academy possesses. It feels at home most anywhere ... on the stage of Mahan Hall for a radio broad- cast ... in the wardroom mess ... at a pep rally . . . marching for a P-rade ... in the bandstand ... at a hop . . . and if Carnegie Hall ever beckons, it would feel at home there too. The reason for this exceptional ability probably lies with the individual, each of whom is an artist in his own right. There is no need to designate soloists . . . each man can take his place in front of the band w ith complete confidence. Many have served several hitches at the Academy developing their musicianship, while others have delved into the mysteries of harmony and counterpoint and produced several quality original compositions and arrangements. il!

TB BflPEl The big-domed building with the shiny spike on top ... the United States Naval Academy Chapel . . . plays a leading role in the life of every midshipman. It may be from the standpoint of the place in which he worships each Sunday, the Sob Sunday baccalaureate service, or it may be the place in which he repeats the marriage vows. Most assuredly he cannot escape the Chapel as the center of his liberty circle. The Chapel, with its myriad stained glass windows, its impressive service, its beautiful organ, and its nationally-famous choir, is one of the largest and most beautiful churches in the country. It gives an atmosphere of worship keenly felt by all who attend. In the basement of the Chapel is little St. Andrew ' s Chapel. It is simple in decoration, but it gives the feeling of being at home. St. Andrew ' s is one of the busier places in the Chapel, too: communion services, early morning Catholic Mass, Sunday School, weddings and baptisms. The spiritual leadership and guidance of Protestant Chaplains Wuebbens and Bishop and Catholic Chaplain Rotrige are a constant source of help and inspiration to the whole Brigade. One of the finest parts of the service in the Chapel is the music of the Chapel Choir. While it is strictly an extra- curricular activity, the Choir has achieved professional excel- lence, and has come to be recognized as one of the Nation ' s leading all-male choral groups. It is the custom of the Choir to make a trip to Washington, D.C., each spring to sing at the National Cathedral and to do a short concert for the President CHOIR Boffom row: W. Homdon, S. L.
