THE GOLDEN STRIPE Glnurtmartialz FOREWORD lf you should be out of luck enough to be named as recorder in a Navy courtmartial, what would you do ? This is the real reason Why two cadets obtained permission from Captain Hourigan, through Lieutenant Dane, to go ahead on arrangements. Mr. Dane was enthusiastic and tenderedany advice needed, also the services of a Stenog ClVIiss Ahernj. With the aid and guidance of Enfs Day of Regulationsl' and a third member, drafted for his manly beauty, the committee chose cases: a S.C.lVI. and a G.C.M., fitted facts to each case, made out necessary papers and served them, chose members of courts by selective draft and counsel for each side in the case. To each counsel was given a list of facts and permission carte lzlanrlw to coach and bring in witnesses for support of their case. The resulting evening's proceedings were beyond the farthest hopes of the committee in regard to wit and humor and yet did not depart too far from the seriousness of court proceedings as they really are.
