THESE booklets were turned out from the

with large outlay of money. A special
photographer made the illustrations, and the
compiler was careful in his write ups to state
conditions just as they are-which is good

FIRST CLASS WILL
GRADUATE IN JUNE
-, paeis For Rumor That 1t VIII
Be Given Another Year OF
Work At The Academy
pAcK TO THE OLD ORDER

yumor that the present first class
mo Naval Academy would be con-
''..od here for another years work,
- stamped as highly improbably. In
DC with the wish OF the department
-, the course should be completed In
80 wears during the war, the work
% eo arranged that the present first
Ice has gone over the whole OF the
-oyk ordinarily occupying the four
,esrs though of course, It had to
y aone more hastily and some of the
SerIews omitted. Under those cir
.nmstances, 1t is most unlikely that
,b,g class will spend another year at
the Academy
There Is more question as to the
,ordllng Of the present third class.
zaher Il will move up to the first
lass in June, or 1t will simply pass to
Ne second class. thus restoring the
ocular order of things The second
lass has been omitted while a three
,sar course was required. The law
,roylding for graduation in three
,ears becomes imperative on Septem-
Aer lst. next, but the present third
,lass has done a considerable amount
AZ the advanced work, and may be al
loved to graduate in three years, or
some months less than the four years.
This will be determined definitely in
A., short time. If the class takes the
mll four years, there will be no class
to graduate in 1920.
There is good ground for believing
that one or more of the classes which
graduated last month from the Mill
ary Academy will be brought back to
90 postgraduate work which will
cover the portions of the course which
we're missed. All but the entering
class we're graduated just before the
armistice was signed, in order that
they should be graduated as sec
end lieutenan.s, )ld commissioned. 1t
is now recognized that they should
have additional instruction.

CITY'S HOSPITALITY
GOES over THE TOP
Annapolis Gave Good Expression To
Hospitality On Thanks
giving

AS in every thing else, Annapolis
hospitality went 'over the top"
Thanksgiving Day Numerous homes
throughout the city and county were
thrown open to the service men, and
Annapolis gave a good expression of
its hospitality.
There were more homes that ex-
tended invitations to soldiers, sailors
and marines to dinner on Thanksgiving
day than they were men to fill the in
vitations. Indeed "a number of the
men who had given in their names
through the War Camp Community
Service, did not materialize, probably
on account of the bad weather, and
these people who had prepared for
guests were sorely disappointed. At
any rate there were many more homes
than there we're men to accept them,
which speaks volumes for good old An
napolis hospitality.
