Plebes No More
3rd Company's Keegan Albi from Eugene, Ore., is helped down the 21-foot Herndon Monument after completing his two minutes and five seconds climb to the top, Monday, May 24, 2010, at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. As they have for 70 years, students at the Academy scale the monument to celebrate the end of their grueling first year. The Herndon obelisk was not greased with lard as in years past.
