4 LT. T. H. GIDDINGS, USMS Officer-Adviser A S the official Academy newspaper, Hear This strives to uphold its motto, A newspaper by and for the Regiment of Cadet-Mid- shipmen, by bringing to them in print the latest news of what has happened, and in many instances, what is going to happen about the Academy. The youngest of the three Academy publications. Hear This has become in the past two years, a weekly excuse for the men of the Regiment to interrupt Sunday or Monday evening study hall to catch up on the latest news. It has been said many times that if you liaven ' t read Hear This for a week, you don ' t know the real scuttlebutt . Edited, puljlished, printed, and distributed entirely by Cadet- Midshipmen, it prides itself on being first with the news. The many staffs which cover all manner of events are correlated to the highest possible point of efficiency by the Editor-in-Chief. Cadet-Midship- man Pete Beckett. The Editors weekly meetings with the Superin- tendent make it possible for the journal to voice the opinion of the Regiment and to explain many items pertinent to it. General news, entertainment, sports, and humor are all packed into each issue of tliis small but influential publication. Influential is correct, because Hear This is always taken to be the last word on Academy activities. Hear This is now on its way toward its third successful year as a vital organ of the Regiment. standing: Krebs, Siscoe, Wclccr, Berg, Renison, Hussman, Brown, Melbin, O ' Conner, Riordan, Lanzafame, Wyn Sitting: Lewis, Wade, Beckett, Vaughan, Baker.
