We might have tended to take these examples of heroism and devotion too lightly at times, hut we eouldn't help hut feel proud to live amidst the reminders of the very lifeblood of our Navy's history. They also enalmlcd us to make those three-eenti, tours .for the folks and the drags so mueh more interesting. Now we leave, with this tradition a definite and impor- tant part of us.

lured, , but... C' 1 X 7 TW. 4 f'1 Y '-s .4.,sJ,s. ahl ren and Ward Leaving the Chapel and passing by the beautiful home of the Superintendent, we next approach Dahl- gren and Ward Halls. Here, perhaps, we may find the Naval Academy's most striking version of the old and the new, afforded by Dahlgren's venerable appearance and Ward's more modern features. Home of the De- partment of Ordnance and Gunnery as well as a milti- tude of other functions, Dahlgren Hall continually amazed us with its versatility. During our four year stay, we have seen this building serve as a ballroom, a concert hall, a held house, an armory, an indoor baseball field, a gym- nasium, and for two departing classes, a hallowed hall in which graduation exercises were held. Its plaques and flags allordecl much of the rich tradition of the Academy and the Navy. Its rangy conhnes gave the Executive Department a chance for parades on tllC rare occurrences when it rained on Wednesdays and much drill space to the Department of Ordnance and Cunnery.
