ge A ! F n accordance with the traditions of dedicating a yearbook, we of the class of l957 make this dedi- cation to the officer whose leadership and conduct serve as a standard to be emulated by all. It was he who, four years ago in a welcoming address, outlined our new life by saying, You are now Cadets of the United States Coast Guard Academy, class of l957. These are the best years of your lives: your formative years. Here you will make your life-long friendships, strengthen your character, and build your moral and ethical values, and when you leave will say, 'We came, we saw, we sought to conquer, most of us the world-a few of us ourselves.' I hope that you will always be proud of your Corps, and I hope that no matter what the future holds, the fact that you were a Cadet will be one of your most prized possessions. Try to remember always as a Cadet that all you do here-your education, your training, your activities and your loyalties are all directed toward that June day in l957 when you will step forward and receive your degree from the Academy and your commission as a regular officer of the United States Coast Guard, in the service of country and humanity. This man, with his keen sense of fair play and the qualities of a gentleman, who lives the meaning of the word in the fullest sense, has provided us with a distinguished example that we can hold as a goal throughout our careers. In appreciation and gratitude thereof, we of the class of l957 hereby dedicate this yearbook to Captain Lee H. Baker. ,ff , ...ff ...ff . -facets lsii .ii ...ff-rf Tj 3 5 .J JXJX J XJXJ x.fC..z
