Owing to the official observance of

various events have been crowded into
four days instead of FIVE as in pre-
vious years. With but a few minor
changs, June Week. the gayest per
iod Of all the year at the naval school
will be practically the same as in form
er years. as far as the program of Off
cial ceremonies, and social functions
are concerned. Anyhow the June
Week" girl will hold the centre Of the
stage.
The official reception to the Board of
Visitors will take place at IL o'clock
on the morning of June /, and from
then on there will be continuous
round of practical exercises for the
edification of the official Board, with
social functions sandwiched in be-
tween, that will eliminate in the
brilliance of the Farewell Ball to the
graduates on the night of graduation
day.
The ball is the biggest social event
of all the year at the naval school, but
there will be other attractive func-
tions along this line The Superinten-
dent and Mrs. Fullam will give a recep-
tion at their quarters in honor Of the
Board of Visitors, officers and their
families on the evening Of June l., and
the following night Admiral and Mrs
Fullam will give an entertainment in
honor of the graduating class.
Thursday night the annual First Class
German, the most exclusive social
event of the year will be held in me-
mortal hall, and the annual reunion and
banquet Of the Alumni Association
will take place the same evening. The
under class midshipmen and their
friends will also engage in a little
along the social line the same night as

The usual presentation of awards
for excellence in the professional
branches, and athletics, won during
the year, will afford interesting cere-
