Although these Midshipman may not realize it, over these same four years, they have become a part of the Acade- my’s history. Every Midshipman plays a small part in shaping the future of the Academy. Kings Point is continually progressing. As the Mission of the Academy changes, so does the training the Mid- shipman receive. No two classes are the same. In uncertain times, however, one com- mon thread acts to hold everything to- gether - tradition - the history, the heri- tage, the tremendous pride that is Kings Point . . .
