Summary[edit]

Description
English: Annapolis, Md. (May 18, 2006) - Nearly 1,000 freshmen midshipmen attempt to climb a 21-foot lard-covered obelisk as thousands of spectators watch with the hopes that they complete the task quickly. At the firing of cannons, the class of midshipmen works together in their attempt to climb to the top of the 21-foot gray obelisk covered in more than 200 pounds of lard and retrieve a white plebe dixie-cup hat. 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.
