| Summary | "An Annapolis First Classman" by Lt. Com. Edward L. Beach is a fictional narrative set in the early 20th century that forms part of a series of novels about life at the United States Naval Academy. The story revolves around midshipmen Robert Drake and his friend Stonewell as they navigate their final year at the academy, facing challenges, rivalries, aspirations, and the pressures of their impending naval careers. The opening portion of the book introduces the main characters in a lively reunion at a train station, where they exchange humorous banter and updates on their time away from the academy. Immediately, themes of camaraderie, competition, and the intense atmosphere of military training emerge, particularly surrounding their thoughts on who will receive honors at the academy. The chapter sets the stage for drama and conflict, including the struggle for leadership positions among cadets and the deep-seated rivalry with their counterparts at West Point. As they return to Annapolis, the characters are not only focused on their academic and athletic pursuits but also on fostering their friendships, preparing for future challenges both inside and outside the academy.
