Walther, son of Judge and Mrs.
Fred Maser, gave his parents, sisters
and brothers a most pleasant genuine
surprise last Saturday, when all I'M
expectedly he arrived on No. 3 for a
visit at home of about three weeks.
Walther for the past two years has
been a student in the U. S. Naval
academy at Annapolis, Nd, and has
now attained the rank of first class
midshipman, to graduate in June,
1918. However, should it become
necessary, the class, numbering 200,
will be graduated at any time before
the set date. Due to war conditions
the classes have been rushed and
Midshipman Walther is making his
course in three years, instead Of the
usual required four. He has just re-
turned from a three months cruise
with the regular fleet, the points
touched not being, revealed; On this
trip the Annapolis boys acted as
junior officers. Besides, Walther's
class, there are two other classes, the
fourth or lowest class in which about
700 students are enrolled and the
third class, numbering about 600, MAX
ing a total enrolment Of about 1900.
The second class has been eliminated
due to the doubling up of work.
After graduation, Midshipman Maser
will be commissioned as Ensign, and
it will be several years before he will
again be able to visit his home city,
in case wal continues.
