W} Dedication . . . The Class of 1981 will always remember Admiral and Mrs. Law- rerice. From the very first day • July 6, 1977 ■ they were here with us. After reporting aboard in August, 1978, as Superintendant, Admiral Lawrence stressed to us the importance of a commitment to excellence. The Class of ' 81 internalized his message and responded with outstanding performances in all categories. Admiral and Mrs. Lawrence were the class ' s biggest supporters. Whether it was a sporting event, a Masquer- aders production, or a Glee Club concert, they were always there in the front row, center, to show their support. No effort went unnoticed by Admiral and Mrs. Lawrence. They were always the first to congratulate outstanding performance. They mode us feel welcome at their house whether it was a June Week Garden Party or a academic year reception or just a place for guests to stay for the weekend. More than anyone else, we have Admiral Lawrence to thank for keeping our Service Selec- tion free of any draft. It is not possible to list all the things that these two wonderful people did for us. We hope that we con show our appreciation in a small way by dedicating the 1981 Lucky Bag to Admiral and Mrs. Lawrence. Thank you!

Hi MISSION — of the — UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY To prepare midshipmen morally mentally and physically to be professional officers in the naval service. We at the Naval Academy are fortunate to be here. The opportuni- ties for scholarship, leadership, athle- tics, and friendship are boundless. But the Academy is not an ordinary place It is an institution that has survived the test of time. Perhaps the best description of Annapolis is Navy - the Uncollege. Our school is a unique one among universities. Hopefully, this Lucky Bag will shovj just how different we are.
