The History of the Class of '98. IIICRE are a great ,many things that I might write about in this class his- W 7 f-7-,X tory, but we will draw a few curtains over some of the less important Ill il'l'fll V scenes. It is, I suppose, unnecessary to tell you that the prime object of l llM.iQ ,, i ' a cadet's life is to enjoy himself, see the world, and read poetry. These l . aims are thoughtfully provided for by the curriculum and the regulations, I, ' D' by the situation of the school in this busy metropolis, by the three months , 'l H i q 'I a year spent at sea in a wooden ship, by the high Naval Academy fence, I W x ,ft the conduct report, and the unlimited time he has for thinking about the 1 ' . . I ,la good things of life. I X fi I The cadet has a little dabbling of studies to dally with occasionally, 'AM-'Q but we all know that too much pleasure ruins the nervous system. You 'jggfgisr must remember that cadets come to Annapolis mere infants, and too much innocent amusement cannot be given them , they are permitted to go out and look at beautiful Annapolis once a month, if they are good- to ride out to the parks on the street-car, or go to the operas. fCadets are not allowed to engage season boxes at the operaj Four years ago-twelve months to the year being allowed, according to the calcula- tions of the Bellman-the class of Ninety-Eight came under the protecting wing of the Navy. I-Iow well I remember the wet, dreary day that we passed our last exam., and came into the gates for the last time, what lucky dogs we thought ourselves, but how soon that illusion was dispelled! Plebedom, with all its pleasures, came upon us in the most fetching way. We soon learned many things about modern warfare, such as making beds, splicing rope, and wear- ing rain clothes. It was then that we made the acquaintance, in a roundabout way, of Savvy and Dutchy. I say in a roundabout way , but at that time an acquaintance sprang up that has largely iniiuenced the subsequent existence of every cadet in the class. Little did we think how often, afterward, we should be reminded of that acquaintance, but we know better now, we have lived some years since then, a few gray hairs are added to the IVIajor's head and to McIntyre's eyebrow. As plebes, we were shy, we didnlt go to the theatres much, nor dress in the height of fashion, we didn't even go to the hops, which, of course, are among the minor social 28 ,,. .,, ., .
