Summary[edit]

Description
English: U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. (May 19, 2005) - United States Naval Academy Freshmen scale the Herndon Monument, a 21-foot gray obelisk covered in more than 200 pounds of lard, marking the end of their first year of training. At the firing of cannons, the class of “plebes” works together in their attempt to climb to the top and retrieve a white plebe "dixie-cup" hat as thousands of spectators watch. According to legend, the plebe who replaces the white hat with a midshipman’s cover will become the first member of the class to become an Admiral. U.S. Navy photo by Shannon O'Connor (RELEASED)
