Lecl by Kalina aml his cartoons, the Trident Calendar Stay: turned out a class A calendar. Tllfident Calendar THE STANDARD fixture on every desk, a TRIDENT CALENDAR, was the particular worry of this year of Editor jack Kalina. The work of the drawing-Cartooning triumvirate of Kalina, Shafer, and Schultz went to press under the monetary supervision of Fuselier and his business staff . Over Hfty cartoons had to be selected and an appropriate quotation chosen for each week of the year. We must express a quiet admiration for the men who could see something fit to print about the third weekhof March. Reef Points THE Jon of the staff of the 1944 REEF POINTS was larger this year than ever before. Each year, as the Naval Academy and the Naval Service grow older, there are more traditions and history that the Hedgling plebe must know. Deciding just what a plebe should learn about the Navy during his first year is a job in itself- compiling this pertinent information makes it a king size task. But when this year's finished Plebe Bible went to the presses it contained everything-and more. The finished article is a meaty, concise history of the Naval Academy, its stately halls and historic monu- ments, athletics and recreational facilities, plus a lot of good solid facts and figures about the Navy that might escape a fourth classman's notice-All this was bound up in a neat leather covering and proudly presented to each entering member of the class of '47-his guiding light for the year to come, the 1944 REEF POINTS.

THE CLASS RING slsaams mf EEHQ13 GZHQQQ fini H9455 THE CLASS RING is among the most coveted possessions of the Naval Academy graduateg it links him always with the Naval service and with the Academy. The entire class voted on the several designs the ring com- mittee offered us-and the choice was an important one. Soon we were selecting stones and finishes for our rings and miniatures-if we ordered them. With the passing of the months we worried about deliveriesethen in June came the moment for which we had been waiting, the Ring Dance and the privilege to wear our class ring. 'Hmm ning memmmmnnmE.tiEtQe..a did more than make the designs and select and submit the best onesg they had to worry about such things as the strength and durability of the ring, and wage a strug- gle against a shortage of materials, jewels, and stone cut- ters. It, was only through the farsightedness of James Hamburg and his committee that the rings got to us by the beginning of first class year. 'IVA
