jl Cadet-Midshipmen dedicates... In September of 1939, the world was plunged into the conflict of World War II. To win that fight for freedom the victors paid a burdensome price. The cost in dollars was tremendous, hut the toll in lives was staggering. Our Merchant Marine played a large part in the winning of that conflict, and as such, paid its toll in blood. Many of the names on that roll of the missing were once Cadet-Midshipmen here at Kings Point. We at the Academy will he forever grateful to those men for their sacrifice. It is only fitting that we dedicate this 1956 MIDSHIPS to those men of the Academy who gave their lives in World War II. GOD BLESS THEM.
