Did you know?
8 May 1953: The NPS campus' student newspaper's top headline announces "a minor miracle" as NPS's then-new and unnamed watering hole gets a name ...and by unanimous decision. "The opening date for THE TRIDENT is now firm," read the article in The Postgrad. "Each judge headed his list with the same selection....THE TRIDENT."
The NPS community was invited to "calibrate" it's collective "whistle" for the offical wetting down, scheduled for the evening of May 15, when the school's superintendant, RADM Frederick Moosbrugger, himself an NPS alumnus, cut the ribbon to welcome visitors for the Trident's first Happy Hour.
The author of the winning name, Lt. Richard Wenzlik, and his "charming wife", Marge, were treated to a prizewinning dinner.
You can read about the Trident's opening evening in NPS Archive: Calhoun. See The Postgrad's issue for May 22, 1953 at https://calhoun.nps.edu/handle/10945/48604
