With our athletic teams having such successful seasons, we could hardly help having a good time. The cross-country runners were national champions, the soccer team Hnished an undefeated season by beating Army, and the football won the Eastern Intercollegiate Championship by defeating the Cadets in their own back yard. NH-stars and all-Americans were plentiful. Those of us who weren't fortunate enough to make varsity teams found plenty to keep us in shape. Inter-company and inter-battalion sports flourished like their varsity big brothers. Everyone found something to do, and when a man is busy, he is happy. Those who weren't happy qualified for the exercise squad. The Brlltfoolbrlll games -were hotly coulesled bcjarc small crowds of plebes. - 1.4 I1o.p,?qZ on-Cer M , faiq, '-50.170, J PW' fls 111' 'Y was q6!9Q0zfAg,. ,JU 0 - -110' clbwrpeiizzgyelw Gr! .

A mG'IDCIUQE'HBiEdEGlfl Naval Academy was ready for first class year. Before the first football game gun mounts, directors and a plotting room were going up along the sea wall, previews of things to come. They werenat quite finished in time for the fall term and we had to spend our time with the more commonplace loading, drills, spotting and sundry arid lectures. In seamo it was quite a differ- ent story-the Y. Pfs were ready and waiting, and not a week went by without at least one cruise out into the bay to swing ship, simulate torpedo attack, or to perform one of the many maneuvers the instructors always had up one sleeve or another. Juice and steam held their own, too, with the former causing more minor burns and shattered nerves than any other department. We couldn't develop a technique for getting rid of hot leads in a hurry. 1 i if 81? ':'k,5'1'l'i 'f'i'N' ,:,,c,, 'l - ,,, .. ii:w,1,::e.-,w:1.Qa'q.iii.1.a V1-V--'T-ts - f V -5 .1-.it 'Yin i V .

How we regretted our laziness when the final exam rolled around. The Academics proper were easy enough as we went along, but here again the lack of effort for eleven weeks took its toll during exam week. The Friday evening lect1n'e.v, we ball to admin were imporfrmt and interesting. X Ny- Professiamzl drills, such as ibase in the Ord- mmce Dejzartmeng held ourwzdizzided attention. Nav P-works were long and seldom easy.

There were all sorts of athletic events, company, battalion and varsity, to keep us busy during the winter term, but the greatest sport of all was shopping for those graduation outfits. From the time we returned from Christmas leave the shops along Robber's Rown were packed with all shapes and sizes of Hrst class men trying on caps, raincoats, greys, and the like, and they stayed that way right up until time to graduate. The shops weren't the only indications of impending graduation. Never was there so much talk about the various types of ship, which coast was the best duty, whether we would have six or eight weeks in jacksonville, and so on into the night, Yes, graduation was just around the corner. Every door had its little calendar showing the days, even the hours, until the caps went up and we went out. The fleet meant long hours of hard work with little sleep, and we knew it-but every man had a case of the old hardly-can-waits. 73 Tlmso eleven dollars easecl jinancfial strain our lofticr station 'l:'l7'L1J0-S'6Cl. On weekday afternoons we went shopping for graduation outfits.
