This will be third time that this column has
devoted itself to the printing of “The Navy
Prayer.” This is in answer to the many cadets
who have requested copies to paste in their
Testaments or Prayer Books. We also print
“The Navy Hymn” for the same purpose.
The Navy Prayer
O eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest
out the heavens, and rulest the raging of the
sea; Vouchsafe to take into Thy almighty and
most gracious protection our country’s Navy,
and all who serve therein. Preserve them from
the dangers of the sea, and from the violence
of the eneyny; that they may be a safeguard
unto the United States of America, and a
security for such as pass on the seas upon
their lawful occasions; that the inhabitants
of our land may in peace and quietness serve
Thee our God, to the glory of Thy Name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Navy Hymn
Eternal Father, strong to save;
Whose arm doth bind the restless wave
Who bid’st the mighty ocean deep,
Its own appointed limits keep,
O hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea.
Lord, guard and guide the men who fly
Thru the great spaces of the sky
Be with them traversing the air.
In darkening storms and sunlight fair—
0 hear us when we lift our prayer
For those in peril in the air. Amen

Berlin is his hometown, but Cadet David
M. Atwood, of the 24th Battalion, has his eyes
on Tokyo. He and his three brothers, all of
whom are in the service, are now widely dis
persed from their home in Berlin, N. H. One
of his bi'others is a lieutenant colonel stationed
in California, the other is in the Army at New
port, R. L, and the third in the Navy at Floyd
Bennett Field, N. Y. . . .
Military drill and the rifle range should
hold familiar activities for Cadet Donald W.
Beard, of New York City. He was a captain
at Peekskill Military Academy, and ROTC
corporal at Lafayette College where he was a
member of the rifle team. . . . Holder of a B.S.
degree from the Michigan College of Mining
and Technology, and a M.S. from the Univer
sity of Michigan is Cadet William B. Bowers
from Battle Creek, Mich. . . .
New Academic Instructors
Lieut, (jg) Henry W. Monyer, USNR, Lieut,
(jg) Lawrence D. Gilboy, USNR, and Lieut,
(jg) Oliver P. Lambert, Jr., USNR, reported
aboard during the past week to take up duties
in the Academic Department.
Officers’ Khaki Uniforms May Be
Worn As Long As Serviceable
Khaki uniforms may be purchased until
stocks are exhausted and may be worn as long
as they are serviceable, the Navy Department
stated last week in clarifying an earlier an
nouncement regarding a change in the naval
officers’ working uniform.
A change in the color from khaki to slate
gray, it was explained, was announced as soon
as fast dyes of the new color were available,
in order to inform the naval service, the tex
tile industry, and distributors.
The yardage of materials needed to fabri
cate uniforms of the new color will not be
available in adequate quantities for many
months.
Former Pre-FIighter Here Named
Cadet Commander at Glenview NAS
Cadet Paul H. Boland, of Pittsfield, Mass.,
—a member of the 14th Battalion here—has
been appointed Cadet Commander at the U. S.
Naval Air Station, Glenview, 111., where he is
receiving his primary flight training.
This is the highest cadet rank that can be
attained at the NAS, with appointment based
on flying proficiency, excellence in ground
school subjects, all-around ability and quali
ties of leadership.
