The Class of 1967 Dedicates this Yearbook to the Memory of . . . Although we have had the privilege of his guidance and help for only three short years, we know from the testimony of past yearbooks dedicated to him, that many classes of Midshipmen have respected and admired him, since he came to us in 1948. We have come to share with them the conviction that Mr. Page was a living em- bodiment of the expression shipmate . His death on May 25, 1967, was a great loss to the Academy as well as to the community. We pray that the great Master of all good seamen will meet him at the gangway of heaven and sign him on for the eternal voy- age that he so richly deserves. The Class of 1967

Reactions vary as middies As they entered the gates for the first time the freshman class of 1967, had as many different re- actions to their new environment, as there were members of that class. What will my room in the dorm look like, and what kind of guys will I draw for roommates? When does the ship sail? Where is the campus, and classrooms, etc.? Within a surprisingly few days, we had found the answers to these and many more questions, and quickly settled into the routine and adapted to the realities of Academy life. In our first year, these realities in our floating dormitory and the steady pressure of classes, drills, inspections, check musters and turn-to ' s kept us too busy to notice the passage of time, until sudden- ly sailing day for our first training cruise arrived. 4
