' uNE week: The Class of ' 61 has reached the end of its long and difficult road. This is the brief and fleeting moment of basking in glory and congratula- tions before we set forth again. It is also a time when perhaps the sense of tradition lies heaviest upon the Corps. The ubiquitous Alumni, young men and old, with their reunions and dinners are a tangible remmder of the Long Gray Line. As we march out for the presentation of awards and walk down the eager ranks at Recognition, we cannot help but feel deeply the fact that all this has happened countless times before and will happen again and agam m the future. We feel our place in the continuity and maybe a little of the oceanic sense. The moment, however, that best symbolizes our affection for tradition comes with Alumni Exercises. The Corps of Cadets honors the Long Gray Line as General Hodges, its oldest living member, pays homage to the Father of the Academy with a wreath. Progress and change notwithstanding, our ties to the past are cherished and strong. 15

Some date back to those pleasant days of illusion when we first nurtured hopes of entering USMA. Some prognosticated our deeds in the dim future, and some anticipated the achievements we would make as cadets. Many of these hopes and dreams are still part of us. We can look back upon others, smiling with pride that they have been ful- filled. Inevitably there are a few that have perished during the harsh struggle with reality. Flirtation Walk is one aspect of West Point that is likely to remain unaltered. Along its picturesque length, many of us have made our plans and shared our dreams for the future. The mere name will maintain a tangy sweetness down through the years. A blaze of color and richness during the fall and a promenade in white and black during the winter, spring saw Flirtation Walk pregnant with the promise of new growth. Seasonal change in perfect harmony with annual traditions of summer, fall, winter, and spring. The situation is strikingly analogous to our own at West Point. We hope that here, too, the balance between change and tradition will be preserved.
