' -i jf -, c HIEF Petty Officer, take charge and dismiss the Com- pany! A flash of swords, a brief command, a rattle of bolts, an- other command, and then a hur- rying of feet as the ranks fall apart and each man hastens to return his rifle to the racks along the walls. Or, as snow falls softly on the long green roof, it is the click of instru- ments in the plotting room, the reverberating clang of the breech plug swung home, and the sharp crack of the sub-calibre rifles which catch the ear. Gun crews clad in white works cluster about their guns engaging in mimic battle practice, spotting groups perched on benches aloft observe the splashes of the salvos, and on all sides are groups studying the intricacies of the fire control system. Here also the first class assembles each month to battle for a mark with log book and range tables. But in bright contrast to these monthly struggles are ' the occas- ions when music, light, and laughter combine to dispel the grey of routine life and study. Gay colors mingle with blue and gold in a kaleidoscopic pat- tern which moves and changes with the rythm of the music. And snake, four-O, brick, blind drag, and repentant Red Mike mingle in the ever-moving crowd. Zero days and a whifl ! Each midshipman in the crowded hall impatiently awaits the final word. A burst of cheering, a cloud of white caps flung heaven- ward, and another class emerges from Dahlgren bearing their tokens of a course well run. - % J Vi -isS-r ' v- ii
