l Trving to select from the manv swell photographs. spite of these difheulties, however, our caineramen have established a technical and artistic criterion that will be hard to match. Correlating the contributions of the other divi- sions, the editorial department had the task of giv- ing the book content and continuitv. Here. at the 'tnerve eentern of the organization, was done the endless research and copv-writing. the innumerable page lavouts, and the thousand-and-one other de- tails neccssarv to bring a hook into being. Make-up was handled bv Clark XV, Shorev. who worked long and hard to achieve attractiveness and balance, while struggling at the same time to stav within thc limits of our budget. The widespread sports pro- gram was covered bv YValton E. Lord and his ubi- quitous statt. Vllhercver, whenever. or whatever the Commodores plavcd. there was alwavs a reporter 4 l l Officer representatives. lsns. Iorthcrg and lins. Cainmack, checking tinal copv. along to record the results. Our manv extracurricu- lar activities were written up bv Richard L, Dennis and his assistants, who also furnished the incidental intelligence for the administrative, academic, and functional sections. The biographv staff. headed bv Donald Forbes, had the diflicult task of compiling information and photographs of the more than four hundred students. in addition to keeping up with the steadv influx of new men. To them go laurels for an accurate and efficient job. Although thcv are no longer with us. Gene Barzvnski and David Har- ris deserve credit for their fine work with the edi- torial and art statts, respectivelv. Finallv, I wish to extend, in behalf of the entire Cruise Staff, our sincere thanks to the student bodv, without whose spirited backing this book would never have been possible. -P. T. Chase NA ALOG Everv Fridav there came into the hands of all the students the NTS Navalog. Quicklv turning to the next to last page the student eagerlv read last week's news. Forecasts of things to come fand some things that were not to coniel were there couched in mel- litluous prose worthv of the attention given it. Credit for this outstanding job goes to manv con- tributors, outstanding among whom were Keith Spiker, Bill Morgan, and Bill Lutz. Ovcrseeing thc graiinnatical luciditv of this page, stood Lt Ljgj Richards who conscientiouslv added commas to the copv onlv to see a less tastidious linotvper punc- tuate according to his own malicious taste. But in all. much credit must go to the ettorts of these ncwsinen who added so greatlv to the success of the school. Iggl

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.
