been planning for this one for quite some time and really did it up brown. Things were coming in thick and fast because the next weekend we walloped Maine Maritime to put the clincher on the first winning football season in our History. It was a nice way to end our year. We went on leave for Christmas three weeks later and celebrated the occasion with a grand big Christmas dollar party at the Pine. Things were really clicking. No-one failed the midterms, so we went to Boston in high spirits. After one of the greatest cruises ever, the Bay seemed somewhat barren but now we were back to study. This was the semester we ' d really give the books hell. We settled back to our last months rather anxiously, graduation to be the 15th of August. Everyone ' s aboard for good now, no time for the Pine. Mr. Burke has told us jobs won ' t be plentiful this year so that puts us on the edge of our seats. And then the Navy reports they can only take us if we ' re going to be drafted. These will be our last weeks together. We ' ve had fun while we ' ve been together and now since we ' re a nomadic group probably most of us will never see one another very often after the 15th. So here ' s to the good times we have had and to the friends we ' ve made and to good luck and good fortune in the paths we may follow down through the years.

We were given a weeks rest so that we would be more readily able to assume our proper roles. Oh, what a sorry bedraggled bunch of youngies! Did we ever look that bad? Well we ' ll straighten them out quick enough — Hey you! Straighten up! Square those corners! Stop chewing gum! Say! do you want to go home this weekend? This was it now we were on the top of the heap. Full of ambition and all eager to see how readily we would straighten the place out. We had our work cut out for us too. The upper jobs graduating had made a mess out of underclass discipline and left bad feelings between both the officers and midshipmen. Bob Shephard, our Battalion Commander, single handedly, for he got not an overly amount of help, pretty well straightened things out for us though and life settled down to a semblance of normalcy again. We got the first good news of the semester then too, all upper jobs were to get long weekends every week and Mr. Wikander replaced Mr. Hodgson. Being upper jobs can be a lot of work at times, all those long afternoon maintenance periods, but we managed to liven things up a bit here and there and the boys found a substitute for Joe ' s. So all in all the first weeks passed by very quickly. The Ring Dance came along in November. It was quite a party. We had
