weewee inmewiim mimlmlfeis ans .Mumnnqe Week azaumme OUR SECOND found us on the brink of another era in our Academy lives-that of Midshipman First Class-the man in charge-the final rung in the Academy advancement ladder. Envy of about-to-be-Ensigns was a minor factor in those daysg we were too busy with our own drags and future plans. We thought we knew all about the problem of supply and demand of June Week, but we had forgotten rationing. Many were the frantic searches for a dinner that week, but no one seemed to mind. The second hurdle had been crossedg there was ample reason for security and sweeping plans for next year. Even the yard took on a new significance-our strolls through its winding walks and our talks out at the house could aflord to be a little more serious now. f K rg-:1 ,, ,, z , 'Mrk kk A! ix :4 I ,Q . .

MILITARYQEnww5 entre eagssemw Hamm time an Quitccessiustll Uumsmee 'Mfmd-ek LONG will we remember those of Youngster year. The uniform had been changed from full dress to blue infan- try dress, but there were still the many groans and growls of anticipation of two hours in a late afternoon sun. We stood at parade rest while the awards were given outg some of us were not up to it, but the class as a whole stood the test admirably. Never were sweeter, more welcome words uttered than Pass in reviewf' We had a moment or two of reward when the Fourth Battalion Four Striper uttered for the first time, c'Five men absent, Sir,'7 but in those hours full appreciation could not be expressed with a heavy Springfield tugging away at our shoulder muscles. But ours was not to reason why in those daysg ours was but to stand and exist. We were part of a huge show and that show had to go on.
