King Vance It’s hard to believe that one night could have been so anticipated and so enjoyed by all. The Class of 2008’s Ring Dance was held at the opulent Marriott Marquis Time Square, in the heart of midtown Manhattan. As the midshipmen dipped their rings in the waters of the Seven Seas, they took part in a time-honored tradition, and came one step closer to earning the honored title of Kings Point alum- nus. Top Right: Four friends before the dance. Above: Some of the guys revelling in the convenience of an open bar. Right: Third Company girls show off their rings.

Senior Tvents Senior year is a marathon in itself, and throughout the past year a series of class parties were held to mark the milestones along the way: 300 Nights, 200 Nights, 100 Nights, and even 40 Nights. Each had a different theme, but of greatest importance was marking the passing of time as a class. Earlier in the year, the Senior Luau was held at the waterfront to celebrate the reunifcation of the two halves of the class following sea year. Top Right: “The Boss” Rob Tenen- holz with Nate Meyers and Chris Stiver at Luau. Above: Rudy DeLeon tries to snag an extra brew at Luau.
