Naval Academy Class of 2011's A wiry volleyball player from Pennsylvania had the honor this morning of scaling the Herndon Monument, signaling the end of the freshman or "plebe" year for the Naval Academy Class of 2011.
Midshipman 4th Class Greg Reichel removed the plebe dixie cup and replaced it with a midshipman's cover after 2 hours 35 minutes and 59 seconds of messy attempts by the plebes.
When he ascended to the top, Midshipman Reichel removed the dixie cup that belonged to his friend and fellow volleyball player Kristen Dickmann, a plebe who died unexpectedly last week.
After removing the dixie cup, Midshipman Reichel fell back into the pyramid, but was hoisted again by his classmates to put Midshipman Dickmann's cover on the top of the 21-foot obelisk.(keep reading)
