All elllil CIDIIIICBS to everything in life, be it good or evil. With this thought in our minds we stoically marched into the grim examination rooms to write the finish to the academics of Youngster year. For all this the day of final reckoning with the arch enemy of academic security at the Naval Academy- Math. Once safely past this week, never again would the Department of Mathematics cast its shadow on dreams of the future. As suddenly as the final reckoning had come, it left. The mental strain had been too much for outward manifestations of joy for most of us, but Cruise box races kept '46 IZIIIIISGII rmrl in good phy- sical courlitfon f07'JIll1H Weelek crowds .fznrl bent. We buried Math hjormally but ejec- tiuely right after we lg? tbejnal exam. there was at least one group who gleefully performed the traditional rites of burying Math. As this exam week drew to a close all of us who had weathered it felt the pride of a vast accomplishment. Now, more than ever before, we realized that this wasn't any college course. This was diflicult and ex- hausting work that taxed the mind to its endurance. The battle of exam week was a conflict that deserved recompense. All the more reason to look forward to a june Week that would be as successful and as happy as we could possibly make it. g g fi J Each step we look marchin to class bran bt us closer to 1-st class 'em-.

he t air pursuits wvelre invigfqpranltinf,-5 annul enjoyable SPRING at the Naval Academy was always the best part of the year. From the end of March to june outdoor life issued its call. For many the ideal after- noon was spent on the Chesapeake. To others tennis was the most popular activity, and not a good day went by that the Academy courts weren't over- crowded. The atmosphere of spring, the new beauty of the yard, the warm comfort of sunny weather, far out- weighed our trials, and Youngster Spring was a happy one. E The tennis courts, always popular, were overcrowded on those balmy spring days. X X .1 . Spring weather brought the enlarged yacht squadron back onto the bag. : 7' I, The newer and pleasanterforms of extra duty included rowing cutters.
