2351 CDR. Nl, N. YOUNG, USN CCHCD On the banks of the Severn stands a monument to a nation's faith in God, and a reminder to the Brigade of Midshipmen that when they take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost part of the sea even there shall Gods hand lead them and His right hand uphold them. The Naval Academy Chapel, with its great dome crowned by a golden spire, calls the future Naval Officer to faith and worship. Within its sanctuary his voice is lifted with others in praise and prayer. Here he finds that quiet confidence horn of trust in a Power not his own, comes to believe that wright makes might, and knows that he stands not alone in daily round of studies, or the larger struggle for a just and peaceful world to which he has com- mitted himself. So the Chapel stands, high over all, a sanctuary where men are armed in spirit and assured of an Hlfternal Father, strong to save. 'WJ LCDR. E. T. MICHAELS, USN CCHCD LCDR. R, N. STRETCH, USN CCHCD

5 EXECUTIVE During your four years at the Naval Academy, we have constantly worked at the task of moulding the raw material received during your plebe summer into the junior officers that you are about to become. For you the process has probably been long, hard, and at times painful. The transition that has taken place in your class through these years was bound to be accompanied by acute growing pains. You have been put to a rigorous test, and those that have been found wanting have fallen by the wayside. We are living in trying and critical times, and the preparation for this must, of necessity, be highly demanding and exacting if we are to survive. The Class of 1952 has lived up to the trials and tribulations of the Naval Academy admirably. You have grown in stature, absorbed the knowledge and inf struction offered here, and responded to responsibility. You are enthusiastic and reliable. You have potentially great military leaders in your ranks. You are getting off to an excellent start in your careers. You have the ca- pacity and the flexibility of spirit to grow and expand mentally and pro- fessionally with the experience of the years to come and not to sit still and rest in this age of change and development.
