Windj ammer s f, Salt and Sail Y HO ever heard of a sailor going to sea during his free time? ell — just drop around Windjammers pier any afternoon and have a look for yourself. You ' ll find C M Commodore Cass and C M Sherrill making last minute preparations on the Pandora, the Academy ' s S class sailhoat for the forth-com- in-week-end races at Larciimont; or Vice Commodore Tischler making his rounds assuring himself that all boats and equip- ment are shipshape. Yes indeed, real sailors love the sea and for this reason the Windjammers Sailing Club was organized at Kings Point. The Club maintains a fleet of ten sailboats and has access to numerous others for special events such as Inter-Battalion races held periodically. The membershii) is made up entirely of Cadet-Midshipmen who show exceptional interest by their activ- ity and financial support. The latter is gently prodded along on pay day by the mercenary smile of C M Brown, the Club ' s Secretary-Treasurer. The Windjammers are very grateful to its Club officers and faculty adviser, Lt.

c ' Buiniiiiii LT. (jg) J. FARRELL, USMS Officer-Adviser Information Please THE Regiment of Cadet-Midshipmen knows of its deeds, yet few citizens of our country have knowledge of life at Kings Point In order to attract a high type of young American, by interesting him in Kings Point and a career in the Merchant Marine, those connected with the Academy must make known to their fellow citizens the activities of the Regiment. To ful- fill this mission the Cadet-Midshipmen activity. Information Service, was organized on 1 April 1948. The Information Service is the youngest and probably least known of the four publication branches at the Academy, but its service to the Cadet Corps is great; for in the course of its work it keeps the name of the United States Merchant Marine Cadet Corps constantly in the eyes of the public. From its office in the Cadet-Midshipmen Activities House Annex have come over two thousand releases for newspapers in one year. The Chief, Information Service, and the two assistant Chiefs, prepare press releases under a planned program where- by a minimum number of releases a year is sent out on each Cadet-Midshipman to his home town newspaper, and a progres- sive file on each man is maintained with the actual stories as taken from the newspapers. The members of the staff are the press agents of Kings Point, obtaining publicity for Graduation Week and its colorful ceremonies. Regimental dances, visiting government officials, the various speakers, and all other activ- ities that will add to the nation ' s knowledge of the Lnited States Merchant Marine Academy.
