In all walks of life there are those who command our respect, regardless of their rank and position, because they possess the qualities of inspiring, cap- able and efficient leaders. Lt.

Under such leaders is brought forth the spirit of which the Navy is very proud— the Esprit-des-Corps . C. O. U. S. Navy V-12 Unit Bethany College Bethany, W. Va.
