WW 3: v4- - 245146 Mafw wage An endeavor such as the PORTHOLE, a nautical expression of life in an officer's train- . ing program, requires quite necessarily that a great deal of work be put forth by those --To the members of the Unit who at all times showed their interest in the PORTHOLE and who cooperated in the staff's efforts to obtain the best of everything for the pages of - - . th 't' . who comprise 1ts staff. In order to function e ed1 ion properly and to compile the data, copy, pic- tures and ads for such an issue, the staff must receive adequate cooperation from many It is for this cooperation that the members of the PORTHOLE staff wish now to express their gratitude: .. To the advertisers who were responsive to the efforts of the advertising staff for the;r were largely responsible for the success of the present PORTHOLE. -To the Anchor and Chain Alumni, to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Skinner, to the parents of past graduates and to the countless other friends w- TO the Unit officers who at GM times of the Unit and the men who comprise the Unit. It was great to have the opportunity to pro- duce this PORTHOLE and the staff can only hope now that it will be to all who were on the HILLTOP, a treasured remembrance of a few of the things experienced here. Sigel and Commander Mecklenburg gave the staff even,r opportunity to carry out its plan; and the cooperation of other officers, including Mr. Miller who was of assistance in the trans- portation problem for the advertising commit- tee, is appreciated.

COMMODORE H. I. GRASSIE I : PAST IIIIMMISSINING EXERCISES HI, ...................................................... , do hereby accept the appointment as Ensign in the United States Naval Reserve; do solemnly swear tor aiiirrnl that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter; so help me God. I understand that failure to complete any prescribed training course, or a review of my completed application re- garded as unsatisfactory, will be considered sufficient cause for my discharge. The trim lines of white-uniiorrned, young Ensigns stood on the platform at Marquette University High School auditorium and took the Oath of Acceptance. This first formal graduation and recognition exercise was held June 24, 1945 under the direction of Captain C. H. Sigel. Making the occasion even more memorable was the presence of Vice Admiral A. S. Carpender, USN, on the platform as the day's speaker. Admiral Carpender, Corn- mandant oi the Ninth Naval District, addressed the young graduates and told of Han enemy guided by a philosophy of desperation who waited for them in the Pacific islands. He lauded the record of performance boasted by the ranks of reserve officers and said that a tradition of generations of free men in a tree VICE-ADMIRAL A. S. CARPENDEH country stood as a background of the young men receiving their gold braid. In this attribut- able manner, the Iune 1945 class was gradu- ated. Continuing a tradition being formed within the Unit, Captain Sigel had as the next com- missioning speaker in October Captain G. M. Jones, USNR, Director of Training in the Ninth Naval District. Captain Iones delivered an excellent message stressing the challenges that young naval officers must face. Also in continuance of tradition were the Unit bands playing of marches and the NROTC Choir's voicing of naval songs. February 28, I946, Commodore H. I. Grassie, USN. Commander, Naval Training Center Great Lakes, Ill, presented an insight to the future plans of the Navy for its young officers. Commodore Grassie told quite vibrantly oi the opportunities which the Navy was offering to its new Hwearers of gold . Desiring to continue the enviable record of always having an outstanding speaker and celebrity as guest for the commissioning occa- sion, Captain Sigel has again planned well. It is regretable from the viewpoint of the PORTHOLE that at press time it is impossible to obtain the name of the speaker. There is only an assurance that the Iune 1946 gradu- ating class will he graduated with as much pomp and celerity of precision as any other class which has gone from the Hilltop. CAPTAIN G. M. JONES
