T WAS quiz day again and we were frantically cramming mnemonic devices into ourselves while sharpening pencils and arranging the texts in a convenient, portable pile. There was Dutton, the Pacific Ocean Tide Tables, the Azimuth Sun Bearings, Introduction to Astronomy, Current Tables, and Bowditch. Gee, heis a heavy one . . . Cln more ways than onej Our roommate was one of those mathematics sharks who could handle a protractor like a surgeon handles a scalpel, draw neat circles and meticu- lously straight lines, and work out intricate prob- lems while we were still struggling with the first fix. There were a few score like him in the entire school. Accomplished lads, really out of this world, who found Navigation a cinch and couldn,t understand why all the others ever had trouble with it. Come onw, he said. HLet,s go. This test today will be simple. You really should breeze through itf' Muttering an imprecation, we collected our books and joined a group in the passageway.

It was a lucky start, but we never took luck for granted for we knew it was better to figure you didn't have a chance. Then the surprise of passing would be sweeter and the shock of bilging, less potent, since expected. l46l ,,.-f
