star of ocean! Tlie light of the morning star is the first to flood the evening shy and tlie last to linger in tlie dawn. It’s tlie guiding beam to mariners, tossed about on the raging, rebellious sea the light drawing them toward the unruffled waters, toward safety of a harbor; the light warning them of approaching danger; the light of hope. And to the Navy, Mary is this star. It is her brilliancy which guides them through the turbulent waters of war to the smooth glittering sea of peace; which guides them through unseen perils, from subs and planes, from moral pit-falls; and it is this same radiance which serves as a beacon of hope to our sailors, wearied from aimless wanderings, ever anxious to grasp a single ray. And Mary, the bright Star of the Sea, shall always he there, on her vast throne of shy, to guide and to protect her men, the NAVY.

we journey ......a university at war, a power, a light from a star, illumines tlie efforts of tlie midshipmen training for the conflict. I he protector and guide of mariners for centuries glows upon those preparing 'to go down to the sea in ships.’ Her power, her gentle guidance is spread Iilee a soft and luminous veil upon their lives. 'Aboard ship,’ in classes, on parade, in recreation the heacon-lihe inspiration guides the hands upon the helm of life. And it will continue to glow and to guide when their training is completed, when at last they feel the swell of the sea beneath their feet and the pangs of fear in their hearts. I hen in all the power and glory of her brilliance, Mary, star of the Sea, will shine down upon the many and far-flung battlefronts. From the blue Mediterranean waves to the icy Arctic waters, on all the seven seas, Mary will he there to watch over and guide her men of Marquette until again the sea is peaceful and her men are home.
