Lavvrence D. Singleton, as the student druin inajor. led the organizationg and Lt. S. Brown stood by as advisor, NYC cannot praise too highly the Work done by these drunnners and buglers. They rang out our inarching cadence, and in their taps and reveille duties they would lull us to sleep in the evening, and then regretfully arouse us from our deepest sluni- ber at dawn.

ACTI ITIES . . . CHOIR 'I'he Ni-XPS Glcc Club was organized sole- ly for the purpose of giving those of us who like to sing a chance to have fun together. 'l'he members inet 'tuesday' and Thursday afternoons around the piano and blended their voices in inusic ranging from the semi- classics to popular songs, and hymns and spirituals. Though the glee club had an uphill tight, both financially and musically they showed real acomplishmcnt. For example, during the intermission at the Christmas dance. they presented a short program of carols, which gave expression to our Yuletidc cheer. Of course our harmonizing classmates made no bid to compete with the Metro- politans male chorus, but they did keep alive, amidst our academic pursuits, that age-old recreation ot singing.

Xlhitehead lg: THE CRUISE 'I'hree years ago, at Bainbridge, Maryland, the first copy of the Cruise vvas published by the class of 1948, U. S. Naval School, Academy and College Preparatory. 'l'he editors of that book expressed the hope that it would be the first of many. 'lhcir hopes were not in vain, for this is the third succes- sive issue of the Cruise, and yve in turn hope there yvill be many more. 'l'he publication of a yearbook is always a difficult task, and the ioge Cruise has been no exception. 'l'he heavy academic schedule and exacting military routine left little time for the immense amount of vvork that is an integral part of such a project. XVith diligence and perserverance, however. and the aid of much black coffee and many cigarettes, the staff has produced a book for yvhich, l am sure, no excuses need be made. As faculty advisers, Ensigus Robert F. Iortberg and David YV. Cainmack provided the experienced guidance that was the backbone of our staff. In addition, they undertook to do much of the thank- less mule-hauling yvork. lessening our burdens immeasurably. The business staff was headed by Carl M. Can- trell, yvhose job it yvas to see that We spent no more than we earned. Keeping the books balanced was only one of the many important functions perform- edg the advertising teams sayv to it that the local merchants invested their money where it would do us the most good. vvhile the circulation representa- tives convinced you that our book was a fair trade for your three dollars. To the professional skill of Guy Cane and his photography staff we owe the high quality' of our pietorial work. XVith only limited facilities avail- able, the staff had to improvise much of their equipment and set up a darkroom of their own. In Business staff Q Scalisi. Stephenson.
