SUPERINTENDENT ' S MESSAGE Let us pause awhile and ponder, in the hght of days gone by. With their strange old ships and weapons, what our fathers did and why. Then if still we dare to argue that we ' re just as good as they. We can seek the God of Battles on our knees and humbly pray That the work we leave behind us, when our earthly race is run. May be half as well completed as our fathers work was done. Happy is the man who, like Ulysses, hath made a good voyage Jochim Du Bellay 1515-1560 Good luck to all that follow after. Gordon McLintock Vice Admiral. USMS Superintendent 21
