Leadership must be emphasized in our pro- gram in order that our graduates may ascend to posi- tions of command and management. Competence, un- derstanding and character are most important traits. Learning, together with participation in activities of interest will help develop our students into leaders. Graduates attaining high positions will cast an aura of competency on the Academy, as will the developing of leaders reflect on our graduates.

With the help of the Midshipmen to follow we shall be able to pre- vent the bright-work from tarnishing and further the gains made. The voyage ahead will be against the tide, however as in all such situations the strength lessens and eventually we have slack water. We shall continue to strive to increase the scope of our activities. In addition to the planned physical facilities, I would expect that there will be opportuni- ties for greater participation in athletics, social affairs and other areas in which students may fulfill their interests and abilities. We should strive to be recognized in extra-curricular 28
