UCLA ROTC - Porthole Yearbook (Los Angeles, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 44 of the 1966 volume:

19 o r t Ho s 66 •. The 1965-1966 Academic year has come to an end. The Seniors have graduated, been commis- sioned, and have departed for active duty with the fleet. The midshipmen are gone on cruise to such places as Hawaii, Quantico, and the Mediterranean. Next fall they will return to the University for an- other year of work, and to greet a new freshman class. Through this Porthole the 1965-1966 academic year passes in review. It has been a very full year with many activities, and many memories for the Battalion of Midshipmen. It is hoped that this year ' s Porthole will be the source of memories to all of the midshipmen, and will in the future be shown with pride to friends and shipmates. Letter from the Editor The past year has been one of much wr jj and a corresponding amount of satisfaction and reward, for all members of the Battalion of MMshipmen. It began in September as midshipmen returned from cruise to greet a new freshman c ass. Each class was organized and officers chosen. Battalion. Conning Tower representatives were elected , ' cjng soon began directing social activities for the -t- Classes resumed, and with them all g tl activities of the school year, such as intramural sports. It is this combination of academk jcjipktrpcurricular activities that helps to develop the well-rounded modern Naval officer. Weeklyj drill periods offer the chance to exercise command, and to learn the habits of precjgion and aualrrBtiC response. Navy classes provide knowledge in all aspects of the Naval ServirM Further «wbrtuoJty for learning is provided by numerous field trips and cruises.

For those of t M We train today to defend M and become a part of the armed ppration for service in the Navy d living up to our unit motto: Dedication This edition of Porthole is dedicated to Lieutenant Commander William C. Hoyman, who has just completed three years at the UCLA NROTC Unit as the Sophomore In- structor. During this time all of us have come to know and admire him. He has served us as Sophomore Instructor, Public Information Officer, counselor, and as a friend. His en- thusiasm for the Navy and Naval Aviation has become a part of us all. His leadership has been an inspiration to the Unit, the Uni- versity, and the community. In June LCDR Hoyman reported to his new duty station in Vietnam. For his tour of duty here at UCLA, the Battalion extends a hearty Well Done. For the future, we extend our best wishes. We are proud to dedicate this fourth annual Porthole to LCDR Hoyman.
