me .,f...t Qt., The old cliche' was never more appropriate. lt's all over but the shouting. Today we exchange two diagonal stripes for one horizontal one, and it's a great day for the Navy. A bit of nostalgic remembrance of those who have left us duning the past four months, and then another look to the future. XfVtl1ere do we go from here? Small ships, large ships, Atlantic, Paeilic, a few to scthool for a little longer, and then to sea. How many have never seen an ocean before? Well, we'll make up for lost time. join the Navy and See the World. lt seems as il' truer words were never spoken. Now what? Oh, yes. Return the tthlirty-odd publications and assorted equipment which we used to learn all abou-t tthe Navy. Check them off, but remember them well. The information might come in handy. A long awaited moment has arrived. Give back these blue suits with the reverse crease, thirteen buttons and no pockets. Strange how you take pockets so for granted until you have to get along without them. Strip the sacks that have been so long tightened with such loving care. Put that last spit shine on those shoes. XVe're almost there. 'ig 'H Now we get those spanking new kthaki uniforms on. Grad- uation exercises start in an . ll YI ' hour. Hop to lor the last time and then our lives may occasionally be our own again.
