Since your charge of theft has now been thoroughly discredited, here’s an alternate theory: You’ve had two years to grow complacent and secure in your role as the only Berry on campus, and now a little competition has suddenly made you more nervous than a cranberry on Thanksgiving.

I have to say, Heathryn, that I’m not upset as much by your spurious accusations as I am by your ingratitude. I’ve made your name famous, and this is the thanks I get? My advice to you is to stop feeling like such a blue Berry, and make the best of your currant situation. Sharing a name with a famous advice columnist is something you should be proud of.

Passing through the vestibule into the congregation area, one realizes immediately that dark, heavy­looking wood predominates at eye level and below. This is perfectly acceptable; however, the wood ensemble continues all the way from the pews into the high altar, which is itself entirely wrapped in the darkness of wood.

Indeed, the description thus far may conjure up images of a Tudor hunting lodge. But one only need cast his gaze to the rafters in order to see that St. Anne’s sojourn into the age of Henry ended before it even began. The ceiling itself is an absolutely beautiful shade of blue, outlined by lovely white moldings, and above the high altar is painted a wonderful sky scene of clouds and stars. The stained glass windows are delicate and pristine, intricate and tasteful, and in the afternoon sunlight they are tinged with a mellow green hue.

These are the two main diverging styles I was able to distinguish while observing the church’s interior. There were some even more anomalous stylistic aspects, like the heavy, brutish, almost modernist columns, as well as the white trellis­like pattern on the wall of the left transept.

EVENTS Tuesday (9/13) St. John’s Orchestra Rehearsal Great Hall, 4 PM

As the freshmen consider what it means for Odysseus to come home from war, it is important to note that this is not an abstract question. In 1945 the Naval Academy made a proposal to buy our campus, and the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs held hearings to discuss the sale. The fol­ lowing is excerpted from a speech given at one such hearing by Andrew Witwer, a World War II veteran and member of the class of 1944. ­ Ed.
