THE 1964 MUST A SENIOR PUBLICATION MASSACHUSETTS MARITIME ACADEMY BUZZARDS BAY, MASSACHUSETTS Our years here at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy have been, for most of us, three long years but in many ways they have been only too short, for I am sure it will be the memories of these years, now past, that will remain foremost in the minds of all of us in the days ahead. To many of us this was our first time away from home, to all of us this was the beginning of a novel experience. Perhaps as it has been said by many among us, the education we re- ceived here was probably the most interesting, exciting, bene- ficial and by all means the most liberal that anyone might receive anywhere. Although many of us feel that perhaps we have been here a little too long and none of us would put off the day of gradu- ation, I am sure that in the years to come as all of us sail off to the many points of the compass that it will be with an aire of nostalgia that we will look back upon our stop-over in the port of Buzzards Bay, at the Cape Cod College of Nautical Knowl- edge. All of us came here with a name given to us by our parents, but soon each of us was named anew by our classmates, and it will be by this name that we will be remembered. Also in a clandestine community such as ours, it is inevitable that all of our character traits and idiosyncrasies be soon discovered and, without exception, be exploited to the fullest to provoke a laugh. It is also by these that we will be remembered. In the pages that follow, we on the staff of the 1964 MUS- TER have attempted to capture in word and picture a few of these memories that we will not soon forget. It is our hope that in the years to come that when we pick up the MUSTER we will not remember those who graduated with us only as names but as guide posts in our lives, held to- gether by a bond of comraderie and friendship that years can- hot dissolve. It is with a feeling of pride, justification and an open mind that we give you the 1964 MUSTER. James P. Fox Editor, The MUSTER In every organization there must he a hard core about which the tvhole structure can revolve. The outer edges may change inform from time to time, but the unifying inner area must always remain constant and strong. At the Academy this central strength is formed by the faculty. A DMINISTRATION When we reflect back upon our education, we come to realize how much this is true. It is with great pride, therefore, that we are able to introduce each member of the Administration. COMMAND wm — ki Captain Richard T. Rounds U.S.N.R. Meteorology Instructor Capt. Rounds graduated from the Nautical school in 1926 to sail aboard Standard Oil Co. tankers, and several months later commenced a three year stay with the United Fruit Company. Early in 1930, he returned to the schoolship, this time as an instructor. When the Navy took over the school in 1942, most of the officers were shifted to active duty. Such was the case with Captain Rounds, when he was made Executive Officer of an A.K.A. and then an APA in the Pacific. Command of an APA followed, a post he held until his release from active duty and his return to the Academy in 1946. Captain James M. Murray, U.S.N.R. Chief Engineer Inst, of Thermo Dynamics, Steam Engines The Bay State ' s Chief Engineer graduated from an ear- lier Mass. schoolship, the famous Nantucket in 1935. Upon receiving his Marine Engineer ' s License, Capt. Murray sailed with Eastern Steamship and Cities Ser- vice, and by the time he was 25 years old he had his Chief Engineer ' s License. Entering the Navy as a Lt. (j.g.) in 1942, he saw action in many of the major campaigns in the Pacific, includ- ing Okinawa and Guam. At the war ' s end, he left active duty with the Navy to become the Chief Engineer of the Maine Maritime Academy schoolship. Returning to the Mass. Maritime Academy in 1947, Capt. Murray became the school ' s Chief Engineer and he holds this position as head of the Academy ' s Engineering Dept. as well as an unlimited Chief Steam and Diesel Engineers License. Captain Louis A. Woodland, U.S.N.R. Ship Construction Inst. Capt. Woodland graduated from the Mass. Nautical School, in 1929, the top man in his class. He started his career at sea as junior deck officer aboard U.S. Line ' s famous LEVIATHIAN. He also worked for the Grace Lines, sailing to South America, before returning to the schoolship as an instructor in 1934. During W. W. II, he was on duty with the Navy in the Pacific in various capacities including Executive Offi- cer aboard an Attack Transport. After the war he re- turned to the Maritime Academy to work his way to the upper echelon of the administration of the school where he is now Executive Officer. Among his many qualifications, Capt. Woodland has a Bachelor of Science Degree from Mass. Maritime Acad- emy and holds a Master ' s License. DECK AND ENGINE DEPARTMENTS Our Instructors . . . Commander William J. Connors, USNR Navigation Inst. Commander Connors is another of the school ' s instruc- tors who started his seafaring career at the Mass. Nautical School. He learned the ways of seamen aboard the Nantucket, and upon graduating in 1932, he went to sea with the American Hawaiian Lines, as quarter- master. From American Hawaiian, Cmdr. Connors went with Mallory Lines tankers working his way from third mate to chief mate. He has held for twenty years an unlimited master ' s license. He came to teach at the Academy in 1940 and stayed until 1942 when he went into the Navy as Executive officer on the tanker Neosho. Several months later he was given command of the tanker Nespelen and in her finished out the war. Commander Connors returned to the Maritime Academy in 1946 and is now head of the Navigation Dept. LCDR. Paul G. Hirst, USMS Admiralty Law Instructor Mr. Hirst is a graduate of the Mass. Nautical School. He received his training on the Nantucket and upon graduation in 1926, went to sea in the Merchant Service. He has sailed in every capacity from seaman in the forecastle to chief mate; with Mallory Lines, Standard Oil Co. of N.J., Luckenback Lines, Sprague S.S. Co. and Waterman S.S. Co. When the Second W.W. broke out, Mr. Hirst went to sea under the War Shipping Board in the North Atlan- tic and Mediterranean areas, with a side trip to Mur- mansk in Russia. He then came ashore to teach nautical subjects in the Maritime Service Upgrade School in Boston. With this as a background, he operated the Bay State Navigation School for a year before reporting to the Maritime Acad- emy in 1948. Mr. Hirst holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Mass. Maritime Academy and is licensed as a Master in the Merchant Marine. tiiii i lit II II Commander John M. Cease USN (Ret.) .Academic Asst. to the Superintendent, Mathematics Instructor Commander Cease came to the Maritime Academy after retirement from the Navy. A graduate of the U.S. Naval A cademy, Class of ' 39, he was assigned duty in the Pacific Fleet where he participated in every major cam- paign of W. W. II. In addition to his many other duties while in the Navy, Cmdr. Cease had charge of midshipmen at the USNR Midshipmen ' s School, Columbia University, was First Lt. on the aircraft carrier Indepencence, taking part in the initial test of the atomic bomb at Bikini, and had command of the USS Frank Knox during the Korean Conflict. While commanding this ship he was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat Distinguishing Device. Commander Cease is also a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and holds a Mas- ter of Arts degree from Jackson College, Honolulu, Hawaii. 9 FACULTY Lieutenant Thomas F. Dorsey, USNR Social Sciences Instructor Mr. Dorsey ' s first contact with the sea was aboard the charter schooner TANAGER where he sailed as a mem- ber of the deck crew. Rigging work with the Bethlehem Steel Shipbuilding Co. on Staten Island paved the way for his entrance to the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1944. He went to sea to gain time towards a third mate ' s license which he received after preparations at the USMS Officer ' s School at Alameda, Calif. The ink wasn ' t dry on his ticket before he was at sea on a tanker, a ship type he remained with for seven years, calling at ports all over the world. Before com- ing shore in 1952 Mr. Dorsey was sailing as Second Mate for the Socony Vacuum Co. Mr. Dorsey graduated from Boston College in 1956 and one year later came to the Academy as Social Science Inst, and watch officer. LCDR Alan McNaughton, USNR Communications Instructor Mr. McNaughton was in several Academy firsts. He was a first classman when the school made its first West Coast Cruise. The object of this cruise was, of course, to pick up the fondly remembered Charleston which was the school ' s first steamship. Upon gradua- tion in 1949, Mr. McNaughton and his classmates were the first to receive a Bachelor of Science Degree from the Academy. United States Lines followed the schoolship in Mr. Mc- Naughton ' s career. He sailed on their Australia-Far East run until 1954 when he went in the Navy for a two year tour of active duty. After being released from active duty, he returned to the New England area to sail tankers for Boston Fuel Transport. Including his Mas- ters license and degree, Mr. McNaughton holds pilot ' s papers from Portland, Maine, to Providence, Rhode Is- land. Lt. F. L.

Radio Electronics Instructor Mr. Pratt ' s sea career commenced when he enlisted in the Navy in Tampa, Florida in 1933. The Navy ' s elect- rical school followed with a steady rise up through the ranks. By the time a decade of Naval service had been completed, he became an Ensign. During the last World War, Mr. Pratt served in many capacities and saw action in major Pacific and North African campaigns. His Naval duty continued with a steady rise in rank until 1953, when he became a Lieu- tenant Commander. Mr. Pratt retired in 195G and joined the staff here at the Academy in 1958. Lt. Mario Tonello, USMS Machinery Division Officer Mr. Tonello enlisted in the Navy in 1941 and received his training at Newport, Rhode Island. His first assign- ment consisted of convoy duty in the USS Wainright, escorting cargo ships to Murmansk. Aboard the Wain- right, he saw such action as the invasion of North Africa, the Anzio Invasion, Okinawa, and the Battle of the Sea of Japan. Mr. Tonello mustered out of the Navy as a Chief Machinist ' s Mate, and from there he started his own repair service. He remained in this position until 1950 when he came to the Academy. He received his Second Assistant ' s papers in 1950 and was commissioned in the United States Merchant Service in 1953. Lt. Angus E. MacLeod, USMS Assistant Division Officer Shop Theory Instructor Mr. MacLeod started his sea career by becoming an apprentice machinist at the Bethlehem Shipyard in Quincy, Mass. After watching ships come in and out, he decided to go to sea and signed on as an oiler on a Waterman Line ship. After sailing for a time, he entered the U. S. Maritime Service Officer ' s Training School and sat for his third ' s in steam and diesels in September of 1944. In 1946, he raised his license to second. He has sailed with such companies as Marine Transport, Amer- ican Foreign, Eastern, and Moran Towing. Lt. MacLeod has been in the Academy ' s engineering de- partment since 1948. 13 FACULTY Lt. William R. Hendy, USNR Physics and Chemistry Inst. Mr. Hendy is a graduate of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Class of 1952. Immediately after graduation he was employed by the American Trading and Produc- tion Corp., rising from third assistant to first assistant engineer from 1952 to 1957. After coming ashore he taught electrical engineering and physics from 1957 to 1961 at Wentworth Institute in Boston. He also taught Evening School at Wentworth during the same years. While there he was also director of intramural sports and baseball coach. Since leaving Wentworth in 1961 until the present time he has taught; physics, chemistry and atomic power at the Academy.

Willie joined the Navy in 1943 at the outset of the war and went down under with the submarine ser- vice until 1946. While in the service he served aboard the USS Besugo, where he was wounded in action and the USS Chub until the war ended. Here at the Acad- emy Willie is regarded as one of the best in the business and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Many Midshipmen have profited by Willie ' s guidance and instruction. When ever we developed a snag in an as- signed task we could count on him to set us straight on the proper way of doing the job. May we take this opportunity to say THANKS . Charles Maynard Electrician After High School Mr. Maynard attended the Hoffman Island Maritime School to get his fireman, oiler and watertenders papers in 1942. After graduation he began shipping with the War Shipping Administration. He got his Third Assistants license in 1945 and except for a two year period in the Army he shipped until 1953, doing most of his work for the Moore-McCormack Lines. Crarlie came to the Academy in 1953 to be the ships electrician and lend a hand in training the Mid- shipmen in the ins and outs of electricity. 14 FACULTY Captain Robert H. Murphy, USNR Cruise Watch Officer In the fall of 1924, Captain Murphy graduated from the Massachusetts Nautical School to begin his life ' s work. He sailed for American Hawaiian Steamship Company and six months later had his second mate ' s license. By 1928, he was a licensed Master and he continued to build his . reputation with the Company. In 1934 he was given command of his first ship, the S.S. Hawaiian only nine years after graduation. The S. S. Hawaiian was the first of forty three ships Captain Murphy has commanded. During the war years, with most o f them being spent in the Atlantic, Captain Murphy was torpedoed several times and at one time was required to sail 650 miles in an open boat to reach shore. After the war, Captain Murphy continued to sail for American Hawaiian as coast pilot between Los Angeles and San Francisco. He was also trouble shooter for eight years as well as senior captain with the company. Captain Murphy is now retired, but he makes the cruise with the Maritime Academy as watch officer each year just to get back to sea. Mr. Collins Mr. Collins came to us here at the Academy in 1963 after teaching English at the Bourne High School. Pre- vious to that he had taught at New Bedford High School, East Los Angeles High School and Hollywood High School in Los Angeles, Calif.

He is now a mem- ber of the U.S.A.F. Reserve. Captain Francis Harrington, USNR Cruise Watch Officer 15 Chief Simkins Chief J. L. Manwaring 16 THE MISSION The mission of the Naval Science Department is primarily to train the Massachusetts Maritime Academy Midshipmen by conducting Naval Science courses in order that they, as prospective Merchant Marine Of- ficers, may have some knowledge of naval procedure and further enhance their usefulness in the Merchant Marine in the time of war. The secondary mission is to provide those students who may matriculate into the Navy with a background in naval procedure. The Naval Science Department accomplishes the above mission through officers and high ranking enlisted men as instructors who lead us through one course each semester, these include Orientation, Gunnery Ordnance, Naval History, Leadership or other courses whose path eventually leads to a Commission as an Ensign in the U. S. Naval Reserve. This sketch would certainly be lacking if Friday afternoon drill were not mentioned, although maybe some would rather forget it ! The class should like to thank the officers in Naval Science Depart- ment for their efforts in their endeavor and especially we should like to extend our thanks to Chief Simpkins whose patience, enthusiasm and good advice will be remembered by all who go to sea. 17 r 18 p£pARTM5 v;. n5 mm ' Cook A.

Pollock Messmen Lackie and Kontul Messmen Cliffy and George Tatro THE CHOW LINE 19 The Massachusetts Maritime Academy The Massachusetts Maritime Academy, formerly the Massachusetts Nautical School, founded in 1891, is a division of the Depart- ment of Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is under the supervision of a Board of Five Commissioners appointed by the Governor. The Academy is subject to the regulations of the Training Organization of the United States Maritime Administra- tion. The mission of the Academy is the educa- tion and training of young men of good moral character, education and physical fit- ness to prepare themselves for a course as officers in the United States Merchant Ma- rine, and as a source of officers for the U. S. Naval Reserve. Only young men of rugged physique, determined in their desire for a sea- faring life and in its associated industries, and amenable to strict discipline should ap- ply for admission. The courses offered in the Academy are of college level. Diligent study and application in both academic and practical work lead to the award of a Bachelor of Science Degree, preparation to qualify for a Merchant Ma- rine officer ' s license before the U. S. Coast Guard examiners, and the application for a commission as Ensign, U. S. Naval Re.serves. The Navy Department maintains at the Academy a competent staff of instructors to provide Naval Science instruction in order to qualify for a Naval Reserve commission after graduation. Having met the prescribed physical re- quirements, the new student is enrolled as a Merchant Marine Student, U. S. Maritime Services, and designated as Midshipman. As presently constituted, the Academy of - fers each appointee an opportunity to acquire an excellent academic background and the necessary professional knowledge and skills that will qualify him for licensing as an Of- ficer in the United States Merchant Marine and for a commission as an Ensign in the United States Naval Reserve. He may, through proper application of his education and performance in his service, achieve to the top positions of Master and Chief Engi- neer afloat in ships of any tonnage. With suf- ficient sea experience he may also qualify himself for positions ashore associated with the maritime industries. Miss Evelyn Silvia, Mr. Gerald Hanafin, Miss Kathleen Robbins 21 CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS Sea Power is a familiar term when linked with the combatant ships of a nation ' s navy. It is less familiarly connected with a nation ' s merchant shipping. And yet, the man who did more to popularize the term than auiyone before or since. Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, viewed a navy and a merchant marine as equally important parts of a nation ' s ability to use the seas effectively for trade, defense and foreign policy. A little reflection quickly reveals why this is true for a msuritime nation like ours in today ' s world. Most of our customers are across the oceans of the globe. So are our sources of many scarce raw materials. Most importantly, so are our overseas military bases and our allies. Sea transport is the most economical method for intercontinental movement of commerce in peacetime; it is also the most feasible method for movement of vast quantities of military supplies and men in war. An active and efficient Merchant Marine of a size to match the nation ' s needs is thus vital both to our nation ' s economy and its defense. Such sea transportation requires ships of the most modern type. But ships are only hardware. A far more difficult component of the Merchant Marine to produce than hulls, engine rooms and gyrocompasses is represented by this graduating class of Massachusetts Maritime Acswiemy. Intelligent and highly trained leader- ship for service at sea takes more time to prepare than it does to produce hardware. Raw material of the required quality is more limited. There is also a limit to the amount of time which can be devoted to the task. But now, in your case, the task is completed. Proudly bearing your degrees, your licenses to hold down a berth at sea, you 52 young men who have been graduated as the Class of 1964 will move out, each to take up his individual course and speed. You all share a proud heritage from the early yeturs of our nation when the American Clipper Ship was queen of the seas and, even earlier, when the infant nation asseinbled its Navy from the trained seagoing manpower of its merchant shipping and, for that matter, the ships as well. Those times were characterized as the days of iron men and wooden ships. Virtually everything else but man has changed in the life at sea since that time; remember we still need iron men. This is the challenge which you young men go eagerly to meet. I wish you fair winds and a following sea. God speed DAVID L. McDO: 22 THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT STATE HOUSE, BOSTON ENDICOTT PEABODY GOVE RN O R December 20, 1963 TO THE 1964 GRADUATING CLASS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS MARITII ' lE ACADEMY It is a pleasure to have this occasion to extend my personal congratulations to each of you upon your graduation from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. You merit every recognition for your achievement, since I am fully aware that hard work, diligence, and sincerity of purpose are the real factors that have helped you attain this significant distinction in your lives . V herever your aspirations and endeavors may now lead you, th e training at the Academy which you received and the experiences that you encountered will prove invaluable. Massachusetts always will be proud of your accomplishments and knows that, in you, she will be always well-represented. Best of luck. 24 Admiral Thompson is a graduate of the Mass. Nautical School, Class of 1912, after which he spent 5 years in the Lighthouse Service and one year with the New York to Puerto Rico Line and the Savannah Line. During the First World War he served with the U. S. Army mineplanters. Following the war, Admiral Thompson returned to the Schoolship as Navigator where he remained until 1925. After a ten year separation he returned to the Nan- tucket as Navigator, retaining that position until 1941 when the Mass. Nautical School became the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and the Academy was relocated in Hy- annis, Mass. At this time Admiral Thompson became Executive Officer of the training ship. In 1948 he became Commanding Officer and in 1959 he was promoted to Super- intendent, a position which he held until his retirement in 1963. As we look back over our three years at the Academy it seems that our association with Admiral Thompso ' n was a brief one but during this period he has displayed an at- titude toward the midshipmen which was taut but at the same time understanding. By his concern for the welfare of the Midshipmen, Admiral Thompson will be remem- bered and with him go our best wishes and a sincere, thank you. 26 USTS BAY STATE BUZZARDS Bi 6 January, 1964 For many years I have watched the Academy ;iildshipraen with pride, as they raaae their way through their proj ram of study and work, until finally, at co.nmenoeittent, they go forth into their chosen field of endeavor . To you, tne Class of 1964, soon to oe graduated, I offer my cong ' a tola t ions and good wishes. hat you make of your careers in the field in which you have qualified, is now up to you. Together with the learning of much sujject matter, you have acquired many unscheduled qualities to fit you for the life ahead. Courage, determination, perserverance, resourcefulness and a soundness of judgement; these are our instruments of successful know- how . There is a place for you if you want it. So, my advise is to go forth full of confidence and show the world that a Massachusetts Maritime Academy graduate can do his duty to the satisfaction of all oonoerned. Good luck and God oless you all. Sincerely, John W. Thompson, Rear Adud-al, U.S. M.S. Superintendent 27 Dedicated To Ronald I Sorry, the marks aren ' t in yet . For the cheerfulness, sincerity and friendship you have so unselfishly shown to the Midshipmen of the Academy, we, the graduating class of 196 dedicate our yearbook to you. Ronald G. Coghlan. Ronald Gerard Coghlan was born on May 15, 1910, in Brooklyn, New York. Upon finishing his secondary education he studied one year at Secretarial School and in October, 1927 enlisted with the United States Navy at Boston. This proved to be the commencement of a thirty year naval career during ivhich he would serve in World War II on many ships throughout the Pacif ic, as a Instructor at Yeoman School, Bainbridge, Maryland, during the Korean Conflict and eveyitually retiring as Chief Yeoman in 1957. In 19Jt3, Miss Sophie Restey of Auburn, New York, became Mrs. R. G. Coghlan and now, twenty-one years later, the Coghlans reside in Buzzards Bay along with their four children; Ronald Jr., Stephen, Dwyn and Mary. With the exception of the years occupied at Bainbridge, the Chief has served as Principal Clerk at the Academy since 1950. His duties are many and varied ranging from orientating the youngies in their new and unique way of life to keeping the Academy ' s clerical system functioning properly. Yet, even with such a rigorous schedule confronting him each day, he is always a man who will permit himself to be interrupted to listen to even the most trivial problems of the Midshipmen. By accepting this dedication we hope to convey to you our message of thanks for helping and guiding us through the past few yeais. Again, for all you have done, thank you, it has been a pleasure to serve as your shipmate. The Class of 196Jt Massachusetts Maritime Academy 28 G.

The first rings sold for only twenty-five dollars and ivere made by Bailey, Banks, and Biddle Co. The ring is a lasting symbol to the graduate of the position he has attained and of the knowledge of the sea which is his. Looking closely at it, a little thought brings to light the comprehensiveness of its design. At the very base of the ring on either side is seen markings representing waves. Above the waves on one side is the anchor, symbol of the deckmen, and on the opposite side the propeller, badge of the engineers. Flanking the Massachusetts State seal on one side and the United States shield on the other is the Trident of the sea-god Neptune and the sword of Authority. Above the State seal and the United States shield, and under the protective wings of the American eagle, are the dolphins, representing great activity and excellent of performance, while around the stone on the top of the ring is the name of the Academy and the chain which binds all graduates together in brotherhood, the chain of Everlasting Fellowship. Th Upon entering the Academy all new Mid- shipmen are given a thorough indoctirnation into the ways of the Engineering Department. In addition to the general information on Marine Power Plants that the youngman is ex- posed to in Mr. Wright ' s Marine Engineering Class, a supplimentary program of practical laboratory instruction is provided in con junction with tvatch standing in port as well as at sea. By providing this program, our department accomplished the job of finding the youngmen with the highest aptitude and ability to be- come Engineers and, if these men have the necessary academic standing at the years termination, they may choose the Engineering curriculum. In choosing this curriculum one will eventually graduate from the Academy as a Third Assistant Engineer and also hold a Bache- lor of Science Degree in Marine and Electrical Engineering as well as a commission in the United States Naval Reserve. Although as an Engineer, the arts and science subjects are studies, a much greater emphasis is placed on Marine Engineering proper and, as the second and first class years pass by, the Engineer becomes more and more involved with the study of turbines, boilers, evaporators, thermodynamics, electricity, and atomic power. These courses are studied in the classroom and taught by competent instructors, then they are practically put to use on our floating laboratory, the Bay State. Finally, with the day of graduation, comes to an end three relatively long, hard, and some what trying years of Academy life. But also with this day comes thirty five neiv Marine Engineers. Their goals may be vaned but the knowledge and background obtained from this department will show in whatever their future may be. Respectfully submitted. Warren F.

He was being called upon to ex- plain his connection regarding the discovery of four female midshipmen in the ships laun- dry. Foxie maintains that their presence was part of a Circle K exchange project but ships office is expected to take a dim view of the entire situation. With the completion of mast our Faithful Division officer would breath a sign of re- lief as his charges would somberly retire to the Gorge to figure out a new batting aver- age. It has been said that the spaces under the charge of Boiler Division are the most squared away spaces on the ship and well they should be, because with the countless hours of extra duty, Willie LaCasse can stay well ahead of the normal work load. They don ' t have Mast in the Merchies, do they?? 34 Pinhead Newman Club Lucky 7 Club Propeller Club Condenser Club LEO FRANCIS FLANAGAN Lakeview Avenue Tyngsboro, Massachusetts III Along with the various cars delivering the new third class, an unusual vehicle appeared at the gate that fateful day in August of 1961. Upon close in- spection it was discovered that the vehicle was a hearse driven by a Kings Point chemistry Professor and the occupant revealed himself to be none other than Spook Flanagan, whose ghostly attributes soon found him possessing the keys to success. His en- gineering prowess was soon evident and in keeping with this ability he was put in charge of the proper operation and maintenance of the log office. Due to his conscientious nature and starched shirts Pin- head received no competition in becoming the fear- less? leader (?) of Father Freds Dead End Kids. In spite of being the butt of many jokes and ridi- cule he always revealed a persevering attitude that assured us all that when help was needed in any way Leo could always be counted o ' n. For Leo no luck is necessary because his natural ability and cleverness with locks will surely carry him through to success.

SULLIVAN 820 Bridge Street Lowell, Massachusetts Soon after being bagged by the dog catcher for roaming the streets without a lice ' nse Dave was given the choice between the dog pound or M.M.A. After Dave ' s appeal to the M.S.P.C.A. proved of no avail he reconciled himself to a life as the mascot of the class of ' 64. Each class must have its Big Fella , and ours was no exception. He was a big guy with an even bigger personality which enabled him to get along with everyone well almost everyone, as long as no one sat on his rack. We will always remember that night in the gorge when Dave proved that his bite could be as bad as his bark. His engineering ability coupled with his athletic ability, and his willingness to work made him a standout for his entire three years. An even disposition and a quick mind convinces us that Dave will accomplish any task which he may have to face in the future. 37 STEVEN EDSON BRUNSTROM 11 Saunders Street North Weymouth, Massachusetts Quiet down or I ' ll take three names. So speaks our devoted section leader as he was awakin ' from his slumber by the smell of burning shoe leather. With order restored once again and the ashes of his shoes removed, he would slumber off to his world of his high school heartbreaks and electric guitars. When Steve began at the Academy, he was con- vinced that he alone was destined to wear the four stripes. But, soon after, owing to the coaxing of his brother, swifty Maynard , Spider decided that sacks were more important than stripes. Whatever Spider set out to accomplish, he always did his best and as custodian of N.S.A.C., he was unsurpassed (wake me for Graduation). As custodian, Steve arranged our ill-fated ski trips as well as the infamous Pajama Party (20 hours is a long time in the laundry) Although he became the butt of many jokes con- cerning his sincere regard for the feelings of others, it will be by these fine qualities that Steve will always be remembered. Good luck to a fine class- mate and friend. ' Wake me for the break. 38 Boink Cross Country Baseball Soccer 20-20 Club Propeller Club Weight Lifting Club Yearbook Staff ' Home Sweet Home. PAUL F. CROVO 20 Briarfield Road Milton, Massachusetts Whosoever shall be a man must be anon-com- formist . This famous phrase best describes our refugee from the Not End. During Yds first year here at the Academy Boink never failed to dismay his upperclassmen with his radical views o ' n everything and was called on many times during the day and night to appear before his upper class critics in order to support these views. An ardent supporter of physical fitness, Paul could be found lifting weights during every available moment such as between classes or after dressing for liberty. Because of his slippery nature and ability to thoroughly confuse everyone, Boink managed to slide out of many sticky situations. An easy-going guy with an off beat sense of hum- or, Paul fostered harmo ' ny in the classes just as sandy oil does in a noisy machine. 39 MICHAEL FRANCIS CUNNINGHAM 24 Gardenside Street Roslindale, Massachusetts After being ostricized from Ireland by the shelalie of St. Patrick, it was Mike ' s fine choice to come to M.M.A. to apply his serpentine characteristics in the nautical world. It didn ' t take long for the Snake to achieve popularity, true friendship and respect among the class owing to his intelligence, hard work and the unselfish desire to even give the skivies of his — to promote a good laugh. As an avid member of the gorge, Mike sponsored the skaters many times with antics above and be- yond the call of duty earning him a fine reputation with the Jarheads in Trinidad. The inability to keep out of mischief, the yearn for suds and sacks have no bearing on the qualities of a fine engineer as Mike has diligently proved. With a fine character, the determination to make good and the enthusiasm to learn, we have no doubt that Mike will make good in his well chosen field.

DONOVAN, JR. 124 Diersch Street East Weymouth, Massachusetts Hey Kids, what time is it? Following this fa- miliar T.V. cry, one would hear the squeal of rubber as the Kid peddled his stroller across the Rec Deck in order to watch his favorite T.V. program. When Dunny first came here, he found it very easy to adjust to this military life because of pre- vious training at the Beaver Country Day School. On a typical weekend, Leo would stop in at the local Cumberland Farm ' s store and, with false identifica- tion, would purchase a six pack of chocolate milk and a pint of wheat germ. Following this, he would visit all his playmates, who had received special permis- sion to stay up after supper in order to see Little Leo . Leo has always been an ardent fan of sports and because of his obvious ability in baseball, he had no trouble earning a place on the bench where he remained the entire season. Seriously speaking, Leo was not a person who tried to create a false impression. He never tried to be someone he wasn ' t and because of this sincerity, and his consideration of others, Leo will always be re- membered by us all. 41 E. J. DOWNING 5 Flax Pond Terrace Lynn, Massachusetts On August 8, 1961, while driving home to his nest in Lynn from a weekend on the Cape, Ted once again slipped off to the land of sacks, as he fell asleep at the wheel of his car. By some strange quirk of fate his car coasted through the Academy gate and rolled to a stop at the bottom of the gangway. Upon inspection of the car, Squared Away Downs was found sleeping peacefully on top of the dashboard. He was immediately taken aboard along with the new third class who were then reporting aboard. When the Downs awoke in two days he found him- self dressed in the uniform of a midshipman and he had already made three trips to Captains Mast for laying eggs in his rack. Not one to make hasty de- cisions or believe everything he hears, he spent his first two years here thinking that the Bay State was an excursion boat from Rowes Wharf. With his unlimited sense of humor, Ted had no trouble in finding a place with Mr. Wrights Dead End Kids, where he displayed his prowess as an engineer and also his ability to skate. One of the most caustic harassens in our class, Ted always had the last word, except at 12:45 on Wednesdays. Each coin has two sides and this also applies to Ted Downing. Along with the ofte ' n seen happy go lucky Downs there was the side of solid common sense and clear judgement by which we will always remember him. But Captain, I am squared away.

JAMES PATRICK FOX 673 Boulevard Revere 51, Massachusetts On a very hot mid-July day, Jimmy was spending a restful day on the beach near his home in Revere, Mass. Because of the intense heat, the air within his head expanded to the point where he became airborne and soared skyward. Due to the strong wind, Foxie soon found himself over Buzzard ' s Bay and heading for the open sea. But an observant first class middle aboard the Bay State saw his plight and pierced his head with an accurate shot from his lyle gun. Foxie quickly descended and landed aboard. With his life long association with the sea, Jim de- cided to make the Academy his home for the next three years. During his first year, Jim excelled as a student and found himself near the top of the class. During his second year, however, Foxie ran into trouble be- cause he was unable to manipulate his slide rule to the beat of Morgan ' s final exam finger tapping. After a 3-week vacation from the academy, Jim re- turned to augment the gorge with his amusing anec- dotes and soon became director of our Lonely Hearts club. I ' n his 3 year stay, Foxie displayed an untiring willingness to work by taking part in various clubs and taking on the responsibility associated with with being Editor of the yearbook. To Jimmy go our wishes for smooth sailing in his chosen field. SECTION II Kuechler, Jones, Hartnett. Again this year Machinery Division was under the able leadership of Mr. Mainten- ance , Pancho Tonello and his able assistant, the ships answer to Howard Johnso ' n, Angus MacLeod. Mario ' s Marauders were expected this year to play an important part in the main- tenance program of the Bay State ' s after en- gine room. Our Battalion Commander, Y. A. Turtle, was welcomed into Section II with open arms. We all envisioned many deals with Old Chrome Dome in our section and Turtuga didn ' t let us down. The neckless one proved to be a man of many words and when he wasn ' t running pools in order to call Iowa, he could be heard conversing on the talk back system with his other female friend, or pulling deals in his Phantom hideaway. Our charter member of Phi Re Kappa Tread, Bashed his way through an extra year of concentrated math study with the Anna- polis man to the top spot in Watch II. It has been rumored that he attained this posi- tion because of his extensive knowledge of Go-carts. But never let it be said that Basher led his marauders with a light foot— the deck plates buckled and many youngies lay tramp- led as he wallowed through the engine room. Rose petal Hartnett, Vice President of the C. A. C., proved to be a capable and de- termined engineer and spent many hours be- hind the boiler puzzling over the difference between the main steam stop and the soot blower root valve. Well, Bob, it looks like Snovo was an appropriate name for you. Another member of Phi Re Cappa Tred is the man of a thousand faces, old Putty Face himself. Although Dick never demonstrated his vocal ability at the Academy, his Sun- day afternoon renditions of Its a Grand Old Flag may put Fatty Gallagher out of a .job at Ma Hayes ' Ranch House . Out of a cloud of body powder and attired in his lace nighty comes Brodger Caronson. Brodger ' s dainty clothes and pink blanket have won for him the bunk-mate of the year award. Another representative of Florist Tele- graph Delivery is Mr. 83 8 Wonderful Jack . Jack proved quite capable as a hat man under the guidance of Arvid, Dick, Howie and the other guys. Because of his long association with the North End his 10 P.M. discertations on religion and race hit on some of the basic dogmas regarding these subjects. The annual contribution from Fish Town is Brucy Nice, whose many hours in the machine shop deserve more than a 3.3. I guess it takes more than a nice line, huh Bruce? Now bringing up the REAR — his favorite position — we have Nelson Q., our 19 year old human typewriter. Jerry is a non committal type of individual who is content to remain in the BACKground and it is probably for this reason that he has become the chiefs fair-haired boy.

PEABODY 41 Evans Road Marblehead, Massachusetts From amongst the rocks behind the Corinthian Yacht Club the bald headed Turtle began a long migration to the Southern waters of the Mass. Mari- time Academy. Soon after arriving the Tortuga displayed a cheerful disposition and ' natural ability which made him very popular amongst our first class tormentors. This wide acceptance always as- sured him of a full nights sleep. During his second class year Butch changed his brand of Cigarettes to Parliments and could often be see ' n running through the engine room forcing cigarettes upon Father Fred. Butch ' s hard work, starched Tee shirts and study paid off for he was able to pull the winning vacuum and suck in the big four. Through his determination in all undertakings Butch won the respect of the entire class. There is little doubt that Butch with his personality and per- severance will become a leader in his chosen field. Of course I want a hair- cut! 46 PAUL ALBERT LEONARD 228 Linwood Ave. Newtonville, Massachusetts 51 pounds isn ' t much to lose. As Penance for his serious sins of gluttony, the Basher was ordered to spend three years at Mas- sachusetts ' private Purgatory. He soon ran into trou- ble though as it was found that in order for him to go below decks all the hatch boards had to be removed and additional strength members added to all decks. Change of trim problems in Capt. Woodland ' s class were made easier when a change i ' n weight position was likened to the Basher walking athwart- ships. All Paul ' s dreams of culinary delights turned to nightmares though in the middle of our upper job year when the Navy decided that his up keep would be too high in his condition at that time. So much to his displeasure Paul ' s abse ' nce became con- spicuous at meal times. It was not long before Paul became noted for his pleasant nature and hard work and these qualities led to the Presidency of our Newman club and the two stripes in Mario ' s work gang. To o ' ne of our most respected classmates goes a hardy well done and a wish for continued success in the future. 47 WILLIAM MICHAEL HARRISON 24 North Court Tiverton, Rhode Island In the fall of 1961 one of the nicest things that ever happened at M.M.A. occurred as Brodger Car- enson came aboard to begin his thorough study of the mating habits of the American female. Personal neatness is one of Bill ' s major virtues as well as his pursuit of the nicer things in life such as his pink blanket and pastel pillow case. Bills far reaching knowledge of obscure subjects kept most of us in a co ' nstant state of amazement. Bill attributes his good health to a proper diet and he maintains that eating at the Y leads to a healthy body. An even disposition and a quick mind convinces us that Bill will accomplish any task which he may have to face in the future. All the best to a good shipmate. Bill Circle K.

Forced (honorary) member of our 20-20 club and with the relentless efforts of Boink , his brother, and the Gull , Bob was pushed, pulled and hauled through three academic years. Usually quiet. Bob will longest be remembered for his feat in Barbados, his engineering skill and his minimum of eight hours of sleep (to our consternation) each day.

Starting the year off as an avid member of the 1-50 list, gave him the necessary incentive to pursue his weaker studies and he soon became an elite mem- ber of the extra weekend and just think, he is only 19. During his three year stay at the Academy, Jerry wove many entertaining yarns of his latest lady killings, and most enjoyable were his weekly ac- counts of the Nuge problem, in which many of the midshipmen were involved. Jerry became one of the most popular members of the class (at exam time) which might be attri- buted to his extensive library of past notes and tests. With particular punctuality and delicate neatness, Jerry will encounter little trouble in pursuing his career. Nelson Q Baseball Propeller Club S.O.G.

Jack certainly proved to be a protege of Henry Wingate in becoming the big hat man of the class, second only to Hughey Flint- stone. This soon proved to be a problem for both Jack and Gruby Al who had to resort to altering hatch tarps in order to provide Jack with hats so that he would present a good appearance when he went on his frequent lecture tours to Medford High School. We all knew that Jack Had as much chance for stripes as anyone but he soon decided that life among the peons offered more in the line of sacks to which he had become addicted. All kidding aside, Jack proved to be a true friend who was always willing to help a classmate. 53 SECTION III L to R, Front — White, Olander, McGinn, Miller, Rear — Mahoney, McNeil, Lt. Com- mander Pratt, Commander Hemmerley, Slade. This year section three has had the dis- tinction of not following in the steps of its predecessors. It left the distinction of shut- ting down the main feed pump and closing the feed stop valve to section four. We feel that we were able to accomplish this pheno- menum of a successful year because of the before-hand instruction from our illustrious leaders, Hank and Snapper. We will remem- ber Mr. Hemmerly not for his academic con- tributions, but for his friendly smile and his willingness to answer questions (Bah — Hum- bug, go see what Lister says). While Mr. Pratt was calmly repairing the P. A. system the first classmen were given a chance to bestow upon the second and third class the full benefit of their knowledge and supervi- sion. Right Mr. Pratt? Our hairy leader, Yetti, unlike Capone who ruled the underworld from behind bars, has ruled Watch Three without the bars with which he began the year. His second in com- mand, Yahoo Griffin , spent most of the year supervising. Bitter Bill was always will- ing to relieve a man on watch, as long as he was going to Captains Mast. Among the ranks of Bulb Division are: Gull, an expert on raising vacuum by regul- ating the casing drains; Bozales, Tonies as- sistant and resident patient at sick bay; and Yon, the man in the know when it comes to anything. Thank You Yon . The next two members of the watch include Snapper ' s right hand man, Fly- Face who was always willing to do nothing (A fine exhibition P.F.) And when the job was done you could always count on the Ro- dent to pick up the tools-especially if they weren ' t his. The Rodent is also our peanut butter representative to Panama. The last member of this group returned for the cruise and to teach us one important lesson — Whiskey and I inverted fuse boxes — don ' t mix. Best of luck to J.K. With our departure near at hand we would like to thank Hank n ' Snapper for their cheer- ful guidance and instruction in the art of changing light bulbs and painting blower rooms. We now leave Watch Three with the satisfying feeling that we have accomplished nothing, and when an emergency arises you can be sure that a Watch three man will be the first in the life boat. 54 DAVID E.

During the first few months here Bill, whose dis- position had generally been bright, became extreme- ly despondent and displayed a bitter attitude toward everyone. It was discovered that this attitude stem- med from the fact that his family had moved from their farm to an unknown destination without leav- ing Bill any clue to their whereabouts, (good plan- ning). After quite some time, through the efforts of his classmates. Bill ' s disposition began to brighten as he was able to spend many weekends at the homes of those who were careless enough to tell him their address. For his obvious ability to freeload he was given the Harry Griffin award of ' 63. In his last year at the Academy Bill found a new home at Ma Hayes ' Ranch House where his dim- pled cheek and perfected speech won for him wide acceptance. In our three year association, Bill has become close to us all and to our families. Good luck Bill, wherever you may freeload. 58 Bitter Bill N.S.A.C. Newman Club S.O.G.

A certain Boston motorist might be moved even further and pull this hat down tightly around his neck. Beginning where his predecessor The Duke left off, Whitey displayed great accuracy in hitting the spitoon which in his case was any unoccupied area of the deck. As a refugee from the South end (or was it the North end), Dave always displayed a suave manner which earmarked him as quite a lover but only in the period from January to March. In due time though, we believe that Whitey will even surpass George Tatro in achieving his place in society.

In order to plan and execute the fam- ous Plymouth Mail Robbery, he disguised himself as a Middle and scampered aboard the Bay State via a line left unprotected against rats. With him were his tools consisting of blasting caps, files, and rubber gloves. These tools of the trade were discarded when, as an upperjob, he ac- quired a pellet gun and resorted to armed robbery in the engineer ' s compartment. Terry was also respon- sible for the establishment of his own popcorn con- cession here at the Academy. It has been reported that he has acquired a sizable fortune selling this popcorn during the intermissions of the Cecil B. De- Miller film features.

Upon arrival here at the Academy, Scott had dif- ficulty at capsizing fractions and in an effort to score points with the Fat Man , he became an avid churchgoer and lover of the Ceasaphone. These ef- forts proved fruitless, however, and Scott joined the ranks of the mighty 1-50. With his private room at Brighton Marine and a stockpile of pills and medication, Scott was often called upon by To ' ny to fill prescriptions and offer medical advice. Scott ' s real value became evident as he assumed the role of Bunny ' s mouthpiece on the soccer team.

SECTION IV L to R, Front — Richard, Quintero, Sexton, Tichon, Rear — Lt. Commander Crosby, Snow, Vienneau, Sullivan, Quirk. On any given day the bleary-eyed mem- bers of section four would present themselves at maintenance formation and vainly try to determine what happened on their last lib- erty. Wallowing in front of his group was Barrel-Bellied Vienneau, whose qualifica- tions included halitosis, body order and a green cloud which always followed him (es- pecially on Mondays). His attraction for po- tent liquids was matched by his attraction for Amazons. Backing up this leader (3) was the spinde- ly-legged Frog who was generally trying in vain to catch up on his rapidly increasing pile of mail. Forming the body of this assembly were one half dozen seasoned stalls. Frist was the breast-stroking wetback who was constantly proclaiming citizenship.

Planted beside Wunk was a string-opera- ted puppet who would occasionally come to life and utter a barrage of completely unin- telligent sentences which would throw the en- tire formation into spasms of laughter. Front n ' center was Chesty Puller basking in the glory of his drill helmet and U.S.M.C. gold leaf. Off in the corner lost in deep contempla- tion of how to spend less and get more was that intellectual lover of mankind. Poons is a likeable guy but easily confused, much to the amusement of his cohorts. A continual mettalic ring from the rear in- dicates the last of this group as the green anthropoid banged his head between ' two nearby stanchions. The reason for this self punishment was due to his disapproval of unknown persons welding valve wheels to the bottom of his shoes. Thus did this mob stumble forth into their last year with firm intentions of accomplish- ing nothing other than the pursuit of wine, women and song ; unaware that their nemises would be a loose-limbed, sputtering deckie. It is with fervent hope that we wish no employer be faced with the disasterous situ- ation of employing all these men at the same time. 64 ROBERT J. VIENNEAU 76 Clarkson Street Dorchester, Massachusetts When the Rat came to us attired in his barf covered sport jacket, pin striped job pants and Cu- ban heels, none of us were willing to venture an opinion of this creature. The only certain thing sug- gested by his mannerism was that he had never heard of the A. A. It did not take Bob long to establish a Hot Line to ships office and because of this he was able to furnish us with information regarding important de- velopments in ships office. Two such scoops were; I just got the word, Bobby Jobby is an undercover agent for the F.B.I. and Joe Travaris is running for Superintendent. The Bomb Tosser ' s three year pregnancy seemed to be drawing to an end as his waistline approached 45 in the waining months of our upper job year. This masculine (?) physique Bob simply attributed to just plenty of good, hard drinking. Bob ' s unexcitable nature and calm approach gave him the advantage in many a situation, and made him the head of the Bay State ' s laundermat. Bob ' s work in the laundry was quite successful, where the first things to be cleaned were our wallets.

At least that was the feeling prevalent aboard the Bay State as Hughey Flintstone swung aboard dressed in his loin cloth suit. Wunk provided us with many laughs as he swung by his toes among the valves stems. The sight of Hughey running onto the soccer field had a devast- ating effect on the spirit of the opposing team as they unvariably sought refuge in the Perfetti house until the nature of this creature was determined.

DAVID E. SEXTON 71 Fenway Drive Springfield, Massachusetts After the failure of his alfalfa crop due to the dry summer of 61, Poontang packed up all his earthly belongings, consisting of: 3 issues of Jack Jill Magazine , a copy of the farmer ' s almanac, a list of wornout jokes, and a broken pitchfork to defend himself. These articles were piled into the Orange Peel and he started his trek from Chick- opee Falls to the big city of Buzzards Bay. After the initial amazement of seeing so many big buildings at once with indoor outhouses and lect- ric lighting had passed, he settled down to learn the ways of the iron horse aboard the Bay State. When liberty time rolled around, Dave could al- ways be found headed STRAIGHT down the Mid- Cape toward P town . In fact, when liberty time was nearly over, it was sometimes necessary to use a pry bar to separate him from his new found friends at the tip of the Cape. Dave is, however, one of the few guys who can be counted on to say the right thing at the wrong time, for which he often got ribbed. We are sure that Dave will be a success at some- thing? Good luck to a swell shipmate. 69 JOSEPH ERIC SNOW 32 Purchase Street South Easton, Massachusetts During the summer of 1961, Joe left his hot- house in Easton, Mass. and transplanted himself aboard the Bay State where vegetation could flourish. A conscientious student, Joe could be often found remaitiing after class engrossed in conversa- tion with himself concerning the previous class. Joe had fostered a strong friendship with the ship ' s cooks since the day he sat in the steam table during dinner to supplement the shortage of tur- nips. With his high facial coloring and distinctive eye- brows, Joe encountered little trouble in gaining ac- ceptance in the areas more exclusive fraternities.

But Devil did not despair, in- stead he reasoned that he would never drown (wood floats) and therefore he was willing to try the life of a sailor. Soon after, Poor Devil found himself engrossed i ' n the many strange facts of his liberal education. One such fact was his course in Animal Husbandry which consisted of walking his phantom horse Dia- blo about the ship. Although Paul is a quiet, easy going person by nature, he did, however, manage to get his roots into hot water occasionally (caused by a mixup in his strings). When this happened, he would make an appearance at Tricky Dick ' s Demo Derby , where he could always be heard babbling incoher- ently in protest ; ki ki, ka ka, ko ko. We want to thank Paul for the many opportu- nities to laugh which he provided, without which life would become very dull here at the Academy. 71 WALTER A. SULLIVAN 81 Tyndale St. Roslindale, Massachusetts After numerous attempts to enter the Marine Corps, only to be turned down because of a mix up in gender, our X-belly dancer from the Casba joined our ranks to become a Merchant Mariner and learn all the niceties of the engine room. Due to Walter ' s ambition and eagerness to help, he could always be found on some club or committee such as the time when we sponsored our favorite girl Fifie to com- pete in the Miss Twenty Acres contest. As organizer of the Taylors Point Marines and Captain of the weight lifting team, Wallie became very strong, like da bull. Now, as we look back over the three years just past here at the Academy we can not think of a more amiable classmate nor better shipmate than Wallie.

This designation is a result of many long tedious hours of study and preparation. We now embark on our long career in the Maritime In- dustry in hope of emulating the standards created and maintained by our predecessors. Becoming a Third Mate has been a chal- lenge to us during our stay here at the Academy. In attaining this goal the subjects we have had to master have been many and varied, both practical and scholastic. Our first year at the Academy was spent laying a firm academic foundation upon which to build the knowledge necessary for our f uture endeavors. We were also ex- posed to a basic study of Seamanship and Marine Engineering. In this first year, self sufficiency, self discipline and the ability to get along with others, were instilled in us to guide us during our stay here, at sea and throughout life. This is the year we learned how to follow orders so that some- day we could give them. Awaiting us in our second year ivas a gauntlet of professional subjects, supplement- ing our numerous academic subjects. We were introduced to Celestial Navigation, Rules of the Nautical Road, Ships Com- munications, and to the History and Oper- ation of the Maritime Industry. Especially interesting was our study of the inner most ivorkings and hidden most mechanisms of ships in the Ships Construction course. We felt ive were finally on our ivay to be- coming Third Mates. Our last year ivas ivhat we called the beginning of the end of our many studies. What academic subjects ive had our second year gave ivay to Rules of Marine Inspection, Admiralty , Meteorology, Cargo Operations, not only for the license examinations but for being the best Mate to graduate from any Maritime Academy.

The main purpose of Navigation Division is to assist the Navigator in the mainten- ance and upkeep of all Navigational aids, equipment, and publications aboard the training ship. To this end there are three first-classmen assigned to the division in order to complete the assigned tasks. As usual steering clear of work was most difficult, and the unfor- tunate first-classmen spent much of their time on the carpet because of their failure to carry out the given orders.

But with the same Military bearing he was to feign throughout his career at M.M.A., Bogger strode forth from the charred remains of Fitzy ' s car, and let us all know that in spite of his disabilities he was going to make the cruise. His inactivity on the youngie cruise while at sea did not keep him from giving an amazing demonstration of choreography on crutches to a captive female audience in Aruba. As a class barber, Buddy managed to make ends meet socially and academically, as well as finati- cially. Buddy never ceased to amaze us with the many varied facets that composed his philosophy and personality. His ability to make the best of ad- versity, and some help from Bill, helped him accom- plish seemingly impossible ta ks. His doggedness and perseverance were finally re- warded with his promotio ' n to the second highest position in the Corps of Midshipmen. There was soon a well worn path formed between his and Ship ' s Office. His accomplishment of many firsts soon allayed any unfounded early doubts as to his ability. Buddy has been a blur of activity, often finding it hard sitting down. With his abilities. Buddy should be as successful in the Navy as he has been at Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

One day, with their knuckles shinning in the sun, all hands stood at rigid attention as the crack Fighting First was mustered. John Morgan ' s Division was the closest thing to an Academy at the Annapolis of South Eastern Massachusetts. But lightning was to strike, for as the cruise began J. M. C. was standing on the beach and the whip of com- mand passed into the hands of a fanatic. The state was going to get its money ' s worth out of its ' laborers. Tom Dogood immediately put his 2 strip- er, Cadet Lt. J. J. J. J. Jarzobski, Jr. in his proper place, on all fours, and with himself, in blue denim, led the charge on the foc ' sle rust. It was a long, hard struggle, during which a Roman by the name of Taddia emerged from the paint chips as the Division ' s spirit- ual head. Three months the chips flew, the hammers rattled and Tom screamed, Jarzobski? Who ' s she ? In the thick of the fight — in fact they were in so thick it was often difficult to find them — was the Maggot, a baby fly with a mouth entirely out of proportion ; Dema who ' s ambition is to re-write Websters; and T. J. who wondered why Tom kept on dis- turbing his little world. Dobie was often found scratching his head wondering if all colleges were like this. Oh yes, now can we forget Bovine ! It can be said of first division that they had more stripers than any other division ! But if stripers we had, we also had workers, for Morgan boys could always say they got there first. By the way, did anybody ever bother to tell Tom that he was an officer? 82 JAMES A. TADDIA 205 Standish Ave. Lo! What do we see but a walking Crisco ad flit- ting determinedly in the compartment on those Field Days. This was our first impression of our new classmate but after emulsifying him, we found that he was Costra Nostra ' s Fabled Golden Boy of Dress White Job Suits — Jim Taddia. With an exuberance unmatched by anyone, he tore into everything that he could, including 50 sets of dungarees and countless pairs of black socks. Our boy Jim could always be counted on when anyone needed help, if you could find the slippery little guy. Our second job cruise proved Jim a lot faster than he appeared to the casual glance. In fact, with a chipping hammer in his hand, he was Greased Lightning . Montevideo has never seen anything like him and his dashing companion. Always immaculate in his appearance, (the only upper job with a private washroom). Jim set the standards in the world of fashion with his imported brown shoes.

LEONARD OLSON, JR. 447 Commercial Street Braintree, Massachusetts In the hallowed traditioins of M.M.A., there is the myth of the shy, honest, pure, modest, innocent young man who is supposed to be the typical youngie. Until Lenny came, this had remained a myth. But when it was learned that Lenny had informed his Mother, that he had been cast into a den of lechers, we knew the myth had come true. Lenny soon started to take an active part in nor- mal academy life. In fact, he seemed to have his gently prodding nose in everything, and he was a past master at breaking into the middle of conver- sations. His striking appearance and gentle manner soon earned him the name Ogre Bovine. For two years he was the best bugler we had (did he really use a bugle?) and justly earned his one stripe as band leader. Only once did he fail to provide us with a stirring tribute at morning colors. No one will ever know if it was due to nasal con- gestion or a misplaced hand swab. Lenny should have no trouble in breaking right into the middle of what ever he wants to do in the future. 85 Fitzy Gourmet Club Ring Committee Muster Staff S.T.E.O.C. KERRY J.

This arrival was a brilliant bit of foreshadowing, for throughout his three years here, Kerry has constantly amazed us by doing nothing but diminishing his little circles. Armed with a personality reminiscent of a con- fused Bumstead and the manual dexterity of one of our first Astronauts, Kerry met his father image and Division Officer. However, Lou reminded him, this was not their first meeting. Although Kerry did not remember their first encounter, he kept this quiet. After cornering the Florida grocery market, Ker- ry pulled a sleeper in the theater district, and en- deared himself even more to Lou with a swinging performance painting over the side in Montevideo. Thus we returned to the Gulch with Kerry firmly ensconced as third div ' s future two striper. However, twixt the cup and the lip, came a 2.5 in aptitude. With his gloomy 1-50 list days broken only by an overnight conversation in the engineer ' s compart- ment, Kerry nevertheless twaddled his way to grad- uation and amazing future. 86 e.

During this time he was usually surrounded by an admiring mob of friends and occasionally was forced to fight them off. Although he lost this position in our upper job year, he was convinced to the last minute that he would keep it. With his early experience on tankers, Mags was a natural for Ships Co. and Navigation. This former experience, combined with a vast store of useless facts made him one of the chief attractions at the Lantern Lodge, 1 :50 studies, and anyplace else he frequented. We know he ' ll do well on any far eastern run. 87 TIMOTHY JAMES KELLEY 107 Harvard Street Dedham, Massachusetts Destined to be one of the prime examples of how M.M.A. can alter a person, T. J. stepped aboard the Bay State leaving 18 dubious years of mis- spent youth behind him. His first hair-cut and the responsible task of section leader shook away ma ' ny cob-webs of his former existence. But enough old traits remained to make T.J. a strong contender for the presidency of the Century Club. These traits were strongest while on cruise, when he literally fell apart, even losing his new front teeth. As compensation he got 25 demos and two cherries. Primary cause of his downfall was his liquid lust, which even the cooling waters of Cap- tain ' s Mast could not cure. T.J. ' s mischievous, boyish good looks, toothless smile, and bonitos ojos endeared him to many a seniorita en route. But T.J. has changed much from the ardent teen-ager these girls knew.

It was not a bird, we soon discovered, nor was it a plane, but was the famous Super-Hero, Bob Armstrong. Many facts also led us to believe that he was also Bob Coyne, quickwitted, mild mannered director of such epics as Men a ' nd Mud at Munda , who along with his stooge Willie Fun , entertained Morgan into the wee hours of the night. Bob was always trying to set an example for his admirers. In New Orleans he demonstrated the attributes of a good hot shower to us, proving that even superskin can be singed. Another of his pet projects was renovating the Eng- lish Language, introducing such colorful adjectives as fantasmagorical and supermellergorgeous. While on a mission of mercy, he was forced to move his broom closet back to Danvers after being discovered absent. Soon he was back conquering Rules of the Road inventing stick Navigation. He won Lou ' s Heart in Trinidad with his dare-devil painting methods. Humanity is sure to benefit when Bob as a Merchie Bum , carries his guitar, motorcycle, chow-fights and Super-Man comics image to the far corners of the world. GEORGE F.

Second Division is a vast expanse of right red decks and glossy white bulkheads. There is much labor to be done to keep this land beautiful, but no one com- plains. The work is interesting, enjoyable, and educational. But right in the center of these fine white cliffs and broad plains stand two active volcanos, belching forth ashes and soot from the bowels of the kingdom itself. But the unswerving loyalty of the peasants is demonstrated in their pride at maintaining a spotless terrain in the face of each un- forcasted eruption with its resulting down- fall of molten lava. Leader of this happy community is jovial Alan McNaughton who attention to detail is reflected in the state of constant alertness of his men. His motto, A happy ship is a busy ship . Alan ' s ecstatic mood is reflected in the character of his two striper. Jack Basher Briggs who has long cursed the day that the cat-o-nine-tails went out of fashion. Thank goodness! And as if Briggs isn ' t quite bad enough there ' s Al (Ho Ho Ho) Mahegan, the one-striper who still isn ' t quite sure just which Division he belongs to. But the others look like so much more fun . As it is, he spends most of his time making canvas straight-jackets and cutting officers hair. Then there is ol ' Nellie Brace whose been around longer than most of us care to re- member. He is a tinkerer. Once content at pulling apart radios, he has graduated to automobiles brought by pennies collected through the N. T. Brace chain of super mar- kets. Peter Avakian, one of the original Arabian Night Riders, has long laid claim to Irish decent. However, his example of hard work is one which many future generations will be inclined to follow. Lightnin ' Gym Grain was seldom seen or heard. He was the only per- son who ' d go to work in his pajamas! Last, but hardly least, Jack (Yum Yum) Mac- Quade could never find enough work to keep him busy. He was always looking for a new job to do. Yet when these fine souls have passed on — and who could ever replace them — Second Div. will continue in its age-old tradition and constant battle with nature and Hades. Its lessons shall never be forgotten, not the pleasant hours spent in keeping it the most beautiful land afloat— AMEN. mmmmm I WILLIAM J. BRIGGS 213 Summer Street Rockla ' nd, Massachusetts Jack came to M.M.A. to pursue his dream of emulating his idol, H. Hornblower. A Sea Scout and a Navigation Major in High School, Jack got a chance at the final step towards his dream only after two years of trying to convince people that, in spite of outward appearances, he was destined to be a mariner, not a clerk or office worker. The fact that there was not a single sail aboard the Bay State hit our sword wielding Walter Mitty hard, but did not deter Jack ' s yearning. Many similar shocks were to come his way during his sojourn at the Academy, but with remarkable stam- ina and resilience. Jack amazed us all by proving that he was a seaman and a very good one at that. At the end of two years, Jack was awarded com- mand of Second Division which he has ruled with a stern, tyranical hand in the best traditions of his 19th Century hero. All the while, Jack has main- tained a staunch set of principles, though these were often mistaken for thrift and even outright niggard- liness. Maybe some day Jack will be rewarded by finally finding some ship that still goes round the Horn , that is if his pursuit of dark Barbados shadows do not lead our passionate Humbert astray.

PETER D. AVAKIAN 445 Church Street Whitinsville, Massachusetts What to our wondering eyes should appear as we turned 2nd job, but a dark little cloud still hovering on our side of the compartment. Much to our amaze- ment this cloud soon began raining aces from its sleeves. Before we actually got to know this new addi- tion to Draft Dodgers Anonymous, he was gone for a five week vacation. However, Murph soon returned and began fascinating us with his buoyant cheer- iness. We soon saw that he wasn ' t really as bad as he appeared. From his position as father of the class, he was constantly prepared to offer sound (but not too optimistic) advice, especially early in the morning. Though Peter doesn ' t have many good years left to work, his extra time here has made him a good seaman and worker. This is shown by his constantly high cruise marks. Con- gratulations Murph, they didn ' t get you this time. Murphy Football 1,2 Century Club Night Riders (Ret.) 98 Trafalgar Baseball 1,2,3,4,5 Phi Re Cappa Tread President Propeller Club S.T.E.O.C.

It is hard to realize that we too, once tooled for this prodigious old man. But the ol ' boy hasn ' t been the same since receiving a course in ballistics from a late road-runner. But Nellie kept our minds clean, anyway, for he kept our lockers clear of all decadent literature. Annually recommended for stripes, Nelson mod- estly refused all offers, but after much deliberation, decided to accept a CPO rate in the Heavenly Acres. President, and senior member of Phi Cappa Tread, the Sophocles of the Classes of 1962, 1963, and 1964 is as yet undecided as to his future plans. Shall he wait a couple more years and retire from M.M.A. on a pension, or will he decide to call it quits and graduate. We thinks, dear Nellie, that there be more danger awaiting thy blis sful soul out beyond our portals. However, if you decide upon the latter course we wish you and all the little Braces to come the best of luck always. 99 DIVISION III L to R, Front — Cass, Burnnell, McNamara, Moriarty, Trainor, Not Shown — Wor- onka, Fitzpatrick. Led by a bouncing, jovial, greedy chip- munk, the indomitable forces of Third Divi- sion wandered their merry way through Hap- py Valley. Many exploits of our Two Striper left many a state worker babbling for help in the babbling wake of Mike and his Merry Henchmen. Our illusions of Rinky-Dink as a mature, capable Cadet Ensign were shattered when his drinking problem was discovered by the Bay State ' s Carrie Nation and Russ joined the swelling ranks of retired stripers. Always a scene of industrious, if dubious, activity, we were an example of a division enjoying its work. Without fail, each day would see a content Leprechaun merrily moth- ering his fire stations with a Coke cup of red paint. A haze of red dust often engulfed the fantail as John tenderiy cleansed the decks of corrosion with his 12 lb. hammer. We were also fortunate in having John as he was a retired two striper in Third Div. and full of sound advise. The merry chirpings of Guano could often be heard coming from behind the glittering fittings of the liberty launch. After his display of trustwoi ' thiness in Florida, Willie proved his value as a sec- tion leader, always willing to bear his burden of responsibility. Neither Willie, Kevin, or Kerry will ever forget Mr. Page ' s gradua- tion present to us. Through a great display of self preservation, Fitzie managed to get his feet on the ground, but only after his ability to work at heights had caused Mr. Page a few bad moments and a trip up the king post. To Mr. Page, our leader and mentor, we owe many thanks for his sound advice and instruction. He was always willing to share with us the vast knowledge of the sea he had gained through his many years at sea and as a Panama Canal Pilot, a job which is considered the summit of a maritime ca- reer. Thanks to Mr. Page, we will go on our first ship a little more wary and much more confident. 100 MICHAEL RICHARD McNAMARA 15 Vernon Street Waltham, Massachusetts If you ever forget Mike, you can rest assured that your children won ' t. Though youngie year was marked by a bad loss in the wholesale garment trade, our woodland pal soon bounced right back. As a matter of fact, he kept right on bouncing for two more years at M.M.A. Although Mike ' s second job career took an un- expected turn to the forward compartment, he was soon in the clear again and home for the holidays. Soon millions of kiddies were thrilling to the strains of The Christmas Song and Deck the Halls with Holly. Somehow managing to survive by animal cunning, several battles for duty, Mike clawed his way to fame and position in Happy Valley. With his natural attitude of authority. Cadet Lt. Michael (first in the class) McNamara easily filled the feared shoes of the other Mike from Third Division. Mike and his mythical five dollar bill will never be forgotten by those of us who frequented Bobby Jobbie ' s. How can he help but to succeed, for what is life but one big watchbill?

YOU G0y5 ' LL Pl O Ab -V WANT 50ME Tips ON RUSSELL SLADE TRAINOR 28 Talbot Street West Newton, Massachusetts To those of us whose first tour of duty on the Bay State was the Crack First, there stood on the forecastle a strong, quiet, solemn fellow with rings of pipe smoke clouding his mature features. Some- time around April we finally realized that this was no Upper Job who like turning to, after all. Rinky had a cheerful good morning to greet us with at 0615, and happily tucked us in each night. When stripe-time rolled around the ol ' man had bee ' n somehow missed. Undaunted, he vowed to try again. Sometime around April we learned again that this was no upper-job — he was one of us! Had we realized this, we would gladly have offered him a berth with the rest of the class ; but alas ! Poor Russ was forced to spend the whole year across the hatch. But if at first you don ' t succeed, try, try, again. And so it was with our Russel. Second time around he was the proud recipient of a gold bar, but the oI ' boy didn ' t let it go to his head. He ' s still his same shy, modest, quiet, self. However, with Russ ' s philosophy and determina- tion he ' s bound to succeed in his future endeavors. 103 WILLIAM F. CASS 4 Rogers Road Peabody, Massachusetts Refusing to be bothered by repeating his youngie year, Willy kept his sense of humor right through many battles (and beatings). Every night weird noises could be heard emanating from tread row, il- lustrating such great classics as Men Mud at Munda, etc. Weirder noises yet were heard as he tuned our new piano with a pack of mudfish. Willy Fun was not fully appreciated however, un- til he took his famous stand as section leader of the cream of the crop. Those weird noises now came from under the desk. As a seco ' nd job, Willy was lost for five weeks when half of him took a vacation. However, with the return of Dyma, he was back in all his blank faced glory. At the end of our second job year, Willy ' s good nature shone through again when he befriended an itinerant Russian only to find he was still the straight man. How can our boy Bill go wrong as long as there ' s a fertile brain about? 104 Guano 1-50 Club (Charter Member) Century Club Band Rifle Club Vice-President Night Riders (Ret.) THOMAS J. BRUNELL 98 Housatonic Street Lee, Massachusetts A seemingly shy, reserved, handsome young man when we first saw him, Tom was not long in dis- pelling our first impressions. He was soon flitting about the engine room leaving no valve unturned, no cranny unexplored, and when this version of Alice in a gossamer Wonderland uttered his first sentence our suspicions were confirmed and Tom was baptized as Guano . Stumbling off the path of righteouness, Tom was condemned and cast out of his new found garden. After a months stay in the Limbo that exists out- side the gate, Tom was forgiven his sins. He came back a reformed man who soberly undertook to con- quer his scholastic horizons. Despite one hundred fifty obstacles he has come through battle scarred, but triumphant. Tom ' s wonderful ability to trade with the natives has been a topic of some discussion. We ' ve seen foreign ships from which the owners have come forth babbling something about selling $5 worth of Jamaican sea shells and other assorted bangles and beads. We ' ve heard tell of hidden lockers bursting with trinkets that could have bought Manhatten Island at inflationary prices. Oh well, as the old saying goes, once a Guano, always a Guano. 105 KEVIN T. MORIARTY 79 Leonard Street North Attle, Massachusetts Some of us drove, and some of us rode, and some walked to the Gulch that fateful day in August, but only one trudged wearily . Thus, equipped with a short biography of Brother Jack , came Mora, the most irrational leprechaun in North Attleboro. Because of his little-boy-lost countenance, Kevin was immediately adopted by the entire Watch One Old Guard. This adoption precipitated the Great War between classmates, which soon ended with a double persecution of our pal and much hand- shaking between the Deckles and the Snipes. Although his youngie cruise was clouded by the 1-50 list, he found time to indulge ill his hobby of gardening, and was soon awarded even more time for such pursuits. Kevin ' s second cruise was marked by the first overnight mail run in our history. Due to his in- fluence with Wenzy, however, this was overlooked. Although future years may separate him from his N-I jacket. Mora will always have two other friends to help him propel him through life (especially in high winds.)

The Metropolitan Opera ' s loss has become Mass. Maritime ' s burden. John has made daily problems seem trite with his volumnous harmonizing and quiet dignity. Always striving for recognition in his own sub- tle way, John obtained cordial relations with the faculty and two stripes in Third Division. But, alas, inbred Cossak wanderlust got the best of John and soon he was roving the seven sea ' s as an A.B. Soon, though, he was back, this time as one of our classmates. No grudges were held for our Cadt. Lt. (Ret.) though, for John struck up easy friend- ships, especially almost brotherlike relationships with Peter and Buddy. Surely, John will be out- standing wherever he may go in the future. 107 Jobber Art Appreciation Club Gourment Club 1,2,3 Grasshopper Commune. JOHN J. JARZOBSKI, JR. Worcester, Massachusetts With a cheerful and friendly smile upon his face, Jobber lumbered up the gangway of the Old Bay State , and he quickly became the friend of all in need. His amiable attitude and his willingness to do for others, was not confined to just his class- mates. The New Bedford Line Handlers Association fell under his charms, and also the sweet, little innocent misses from P town succumbed. In his Second class year. Jobber ' s close associa- tion with Cdr. Conners, proved to be an outstand- ing asset in his mastering Navigation. In fact, sources have it that he has been assured of becom- ing the master of a great merchant vessel within the next few years. Jobber modestly accepted the responsibility of Cadet Lieutenant in First Division and with his Morgan boots and Tat, First rapidly became a mid- dies haven. With an attitude such as Jobber ' s, we hardly need to wish him the best of luck and smooth sailing. L1NEHANDLE ' P-S!

COMEDY OF ERRORS Once upon a time, in the far off dismal land of the Gulch, there existed a lovely lit- tle seaside kingdom. Blessed with green beaches, white silver lawns, and gentle (60 knot) breezes, this land nestled in the region known to poets as The Arm Pit of the Bogs . Now, this picturesque community was benevolently ruled by the world ' s last Di- vine right Monarch. In his case, instead of giving God ' s Laws to the people, he el iminat- ed the middleman. This process obviously kept everyone contented. In the midst of all this joy, happiness, purity, etc., was one unexplained flaw. Every year one third of his subjects escaped. Thus was he forced to obtain new blood every year, and so our story opens with Eighty Wise Men blindly following a star in the heavens which led them to the home of God. Our first shock came with the discovery that we were not following a star, but an after anchor light. In order to be sure, most of us climbed the flag staff, (three at a time) , moaned, and fell back to the grasping, cold little hands of the ecstatic upper-jobs. It actually was Christmas for them. Each of them had received eighty new toys. After spending a warm night huddled un- der two blankets, we awoke and greeted the new day with a mixture of curiosity and stark terror. Little did we know that this would be our last full ' night ' s sleep for many a moon to come. That day we were forced to enter a small enclosed area combining the worst features of the Black Hole of Calcutta and a stopped up cesspool. Here we were issued our cloth- ing and other gear. Unfortunately, this gear did not include a gas mask, so several of our classmates were quickly eliminated. Donning dungarees that were guaranteed to skrink if they ' re too big and stretch if they ' re too small, we plunged into our duties — also several bilges. In a few days the en- tire upper job class arrived and our profes- sional training began in earnest. In addition to our majors in navigation or engineering, we found our electives included back rubbing, dancing, spit shining, coffee making, collec- tive cigarette research, and silly little games in general. Probably most prominent among our lead- ers was a rat faced runt from the Watch I Old Guard. Many hours were spent receiving personal tutoring with Dick Pal . Our spir- itual side was not neglected either and Father Squirrel of the forward tabernacle conduct- ed daily services. In these hectic first days we learned that we were actually expected to live in that dark airless, dusty little hole. Not much time was given us to think of it though. Between in- sane little games, rec deck parties, classes and watching lucky ex-classmates leave, we were pretty busy. Then came the long awaited break — dry- dock. Most of us survived the trip to East Boston despite valiant efforts to get us sea- sick. There, for two glorious weeks, we went home every night. For those who lived too far from Boston, daily tours were conducted to the Palace, Scollay Square and other points of cultural interest in Olde Boston Towne. 1 14 With our return to Funland came our first encounter with that previously mythical ogre — the 1-50 list. Our liberty was halved and our gloom doubled. These were dismal, forty two hour days complete with frustration, doubt, work; and anything else but liberty. 11 1 .VIA HE nOtXTROi In this manner, we dragged through to the Second major plateau, Christmas leave per- iod. Amidst joyous caroling, partying and such, we streaked home for the holidays. Some of us took this opportunity to catch up on an almost forgotten activity — thinking. Those of us who made this mistake never returned. Those of us who remained true trooped fatefully back to an endless stack of stores mixed with an unusual amount of preparation sound and fury. The noise reached a cl imax at a well re- membered series of orgies in the unsuspect- ing little town of Marion. Next morning, with headaches the uniform of the day, we set sail for the rum drenched Caribbean. Twas a grand day for the Irish as we steamed into Boston on St. Patrick ' s day, with a bit o ' the green at the fore. Many a middle never left Southie till the nineteenth or twentieth of March. However, war stories and tropical tans can not wait forever, so home went the sailors, home from the sea. The brevity of leave periods is a sad fact of life, though, and we soon found that the Gulch had survived the winter too well. Once more the powers laid seige to sanity. The fearful mid-term was now obsolete but had been replaced with the more powerful term 1-50 list. Even this mind grating torture soon ended and, LO, we were second jobs. After an all too short summer leave period, we returned with our mission clearly in mind — square away the youngies. These boys however, needed no help; for they had friends up above. Soon were we thankful for God ' s infinite wisdom in gently punishing our over eagerness. Was there a man among us who could not see the wisdom of remov- ing our smoking and swimming privilege? If so, he never told his parents about it, be- cause he was restricted indefinitely. Nothing else need be said about the eleven month year. Save a mention of our grand, glorious, brave, brilliant, heroic, historic hunger strike, which, unfortunately, was completely useless. Thus, after Labor day, we slid into that grey oblivion known as the second job year. Friendships were cemented, professional training begun, and report sheets signed, but it was a year for staying out of sight and remaining quiet. It was a year for anything but sleeping, as we found ourselves buried under our first real study load (part one of the R.T.R. 4 years in 2 plan.) With finals over we suddenly found a strange new truth. Our best friends and classmates now turned into something prev- iously despised and wishfully spat upon. Bet- ter yet — you too were an upper job. The home stretch is not straight though, for it seems the 4 years in two plan has been sup- planted by the Get ' em before they go plan, and that finish wire is probably barbed. THE TRAINING SHIP With every major Pacific invasion to. her credit, from Kiska to Iwo Jima, and over 100,000 miles in her log, the U.S.S. Doyen, renamed the Bay State, came to us in 1957, after a 12 year stay in the laid up fleet in the Hudson River, to serve as a floating classroom and dormitory dur- ing our three years stay here. The Bay State is a public vessel loaned to the Common- wealth of Massachusetts by the U.S. Maritime Administra- tion and maintained by the Federal Government. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts provides for the operation of the ship. Midshipmen are quartered on board the ship at the present time. The annual training cruise into for- eign waters commences early in January after the comple- tion of the first term. The second term commences shortly after the return from the training cruise in early spring. The Bay State is an attack transport type, steam tur- bine propelled by two 4,000 horse-power engines and of 6,700 tons. Midshipmen are taught the maintenance and operation of the ship under their instructors. The theore- tical work done in the classrooms is put into practice both on deck and in the engineering department. On the training cruise there is much of educational value to be acquired in the ports visited. The study of the people and their language, their mode of living, the import and export of their commerce, the ships in port, the cities and stores, the food, the money usages, the country ' s prod- ucts, and the historical places of interest, are all very broadening to the intellect. f 3L ■S H S ! ap ji vX iit lOi ■■■i ■■• 1 1 BAY STATE 1962 CRUISE OF THE BAY STATE MARU Let go the bow line, let go t he stern line! So went the commands as the Bay State once again careened off the pier in Buzzards Bay to blunder forth on our first training cruise. Our heads, filled with visions of tropi- cal paradises, and our minds filled with more enthusiasm than good sense, we em- barked for some much needed rest and re- laxtipn, only to be paralleled by Les Miserables, aboard the Bay State Maru. Soon the call of the upper-jobs once again rang through the ship; Young Man, hey you. Squid, get me a smoke, rub my back, you got the Mid! In a few short hours we were involved in the most thorough and un- usual indoctrination of our lives. Who can forget those first days at sea, with its ups, its downs, its humourous moments, and its sad moments ; all of these mixed together with a touch of homesickness and in most cases an even greater amount of seasick- ness. Tales of seasickness echoed through the passageways and compartments that first night at sea, borne mostly by the up- per classmen in hopes of creating a little humor here and there. Woe be tied the poor unfortunate who admitted that the ship ' s gyrations were of no bother to him, for there was always an upper-job who was willing to aid in overcoming this mental block by providing him with such delica- cies as a sardine sandwich or one of Judd ' s famous blue plate specials so that he could join the ranks of classmates who were bowing humbly before the Mississippi. Was it turbines or young reciprocating engines that powered the ship southward those first few days at sea, which were fill- ed with chipping decks, soogeeing bulk- heads, mess-cooking, deck plates and of course the never ceasing task of keeping Dick, Nutsy, Gluck, Avid and the rest of those S %S! ' s happy. When St. Thomas was sighted, all aboard breathed a sigh of relief ; but hopes were soon shattered when we wandered ashore to find a tropical jungle that only a fat wallet could tame. Upon first going ashore, many of the midshipmen ventured on fishing trips only to find that many of the natives had been previously exposed to the ways of the middies due to earlier visits of the Academy to the island. This we found to be true in many of the ports that the mid- dies had been to previously. Our three days in St. Thomas were to be spent wandering around enjoying the beau- tiful and varied sights, as we toured the island in search of coconuts and other items for the pleasure of our upper-jobs. It wasn ' t long before we were under way again reciting the Young Man ' s Func- tion, The Famine, and looking for our mythical classmate ; W. T. Door and the elusive albino cockroach. During these first few weeks at sea we found that one ' s only friend was his classmate ; consequently, during those early days the class became as united as it would ever be. Armed with dozens of Uncle Al ' s eggs, that were being hatched out of number two hold, lockers, and other cozy spots, loaves of bread, fry- ing pans, Crisco, hot plate and very little sleep, each took his turn in the famed mid- night mess cook corps to turn out various delicacies that would rival those of Joe and Nemo. 120 One jar of Tang, six packs of cigarettes, and two mids later we arrived at the Pearl of the Caribbean, Bridgetown Barbados where we were greeted by the local color. It seemed that all of South Africa was there to greet us. After an extensive list of places not to visit was published, we left on liberty to see for ourselves if these places were as bad as they were reputed to be, (and they were!). Who will forget the Jungle with Harry ' s Nightery, the New Yorker, and many of the other places where the old ruins could be seen for a few BWI. It was here that the Bum made the first of many well remembered calls: Knock off work, stow gear, first call to liberty formation. Many will remember their tours through Bridgetown with its definite British atmo- sphere and colorful old buildings. On 22 January at 0815 we put out to sea again with regret. Barbados was a beautiful island; its people among the friendliest in the world. This British isle was in sharp contrast to Americanized St. Thomas. Again the cry of Young Maggot struck terror into the hearts of all of us, and par- ticularly to those of any unfortunates suf- ficiently exposed to be forced to answer this call to duty. Many a long night was spent hiding on the forecastle plotting re- venge on these seemingly heartless individ- uals. Those of us who were deckles during the long nights at sea can well remember those nights, in Happy Valley sleeping on number five hatch, standing lifebuoy watches, and being rudely awakened to the call from the telephone at secondary con., Where the Hell are we. As our supply of suntan lotion and Campbell ' s soup depleted, the day of our arrival at Aruba dawned brightly. Hey is that a sandbar over there with a Divi-Divi tree on it? No, that ' s Aruba! A small island, covered with a rough terrain of rocks, coral, cactus, a small jungle, and Divi-Divi trees, Aruba lies just North of Venezuela a nd refines Venezuelian crude oil. The Dutch Marines were host to the middies on a tour finishing with a picnic. The middies will never forget the blast thrown by the Largo Oil Co., with the tour of the water distillation plant, an ancient abandoned gold mine, the famous Caribbe- an Casino, and the Aruba Caribe Hotel all to be climaxed with a picnic and dance. Who ever thought that so few people could consume so much beer, but then, middies aren ' t exactly people. At all our ports of call the Bay State managed to leave behind some remem- brance of our visit. We are sure the people of Aruba will remember us by the portion of crushed pier that extends out into the harbor. We also shall remember the people of Aruba for their sincere hospitality and warm friendship. 121 With the help of a tug we freed our- selves of that pleasant little sandbar and pointed the ship toward St. Lucia. As is ever the case, good things do not last. On our return to sea, fathometers, range finders, helm watches, deck plate brushes, and bilges became a part of our daily routine again. We were alerted for abandon ship drills, fire drills, collision drills, lower number 2 drills, and to be sure we were back on The Course again. Sack drills were also held, but only the first classmen participated in these. Our vocabu- lary grew by leaps and bounds with such additions as scuttlebutts, gook, sea bat, and other unmentionables. Our next few days at sea were spent in great expectations of reaching our next port of call, St. Lucia. As we approached St. Lucia many of us recalled what our Professor of Spanish, Anthropology and most everything else, Mr. Yard, had told us he had seen during his last visit while aboard the Prince of Wales. According to him, it was a heavily inhabited island and also an excellent place to buy souvenirs. Later, word was passed that the dock space on the island was filled, and we would have to anchor out. The liberty party wad- ed ashore with the liberty launch in tow and found that the above mentioned dock space consisted of a few bolsa logs with a Peace Corps Canoe tied alongside. It was true that the island was heavily inhabited, but only a few were people, the majority were a manner of life that could not easily be determined. It was in St. Lucia that our liberty launch displayed its usefulness by battering in the foot of the gangway. At the end of liberty that first day, midship- men could be seen returning to the ship in all types of non-descript craft due to the absence of organized transportation from the ship. The souvenir hunters certainly obtained some interesting conversation pieces, consisting mostly of shrunken dino- saur heads and fermented platypus eggs. Four days later the Bay State weighed an- chor and once again proceeded out to sea amid the same surroundings that prevailed at the time of her arrival ; bum boats, traders, and non-descript natives willing to trade anything for a few cigarettes, items of clothing or a little food. Inspite of their destitute nature and ap- parent need of nourishment, any bits of food given to them from the Bay State were quickly discarded with an air of disgust. As a matter of fact, it was rumored that at times the natives were seen bringing food aboard to us. We feel the natives of St. Lucia will long remember us, for we believe that we were the first white people to visit the island since that world famous explorer, Bozales Mopo many years before. Out to sea again, the following Wednes- day found an exceptionally good turn-out at Captains Mast as Tricky Dick was seen to be smiling gleefully at the many well-wishers that came before him. It seem- ed that back in St. Lucia some of the upper- jobs had overstayed their liberty because they didn ' t feel like swimming back to the ship. During the passage from St. Lucia to Cristobal, the skies were clear and the weather was beautiful, so they say, as our time spent on deck was at a premium, the majority of it being spent collecting the Bennies of number 2 hold from 100 watt light bulbs and trying to make up for some of the sleep lost trying to increase ou r deck and engineering skills, plus the bettering of our culinary capabilities. The second day out, the third class aired bedding. To many of us this seemed like a useless task since so little time was spent using it. The next day the Bay State, steaming at full speed, was overtaken by the S. S. United States. Someone reported that an officer could be seen at the Peloris taking a positive fix on us, as they believed us to be anchored. Onward we rolled past the coast of South America until finally after five days at sea, we arrived at Cristobal. As we approached Cristobal it became apparent that this was not a tiny island in the sun, for here were the crossroads of world trade with the Panama Canal link- ing the oceans, Atlantic and Pacific. The dock area bordered the main street of Cristobal, and ships of all types and from all corners of the world were there. Onward we steamed past the docks of the luxury liners, past the merchant ships, past the fishing and bum boats, and even past the vacant docks until we entered a moss cover- ed lagoon and tied up amongst the eel grass at a long abandoned fuel dock. This pre- sented a pi oblem for many of us because we had to break out the machetes we had recently purchased at St. Lucia in order to clear a path to town over the, as yet un- paved, Pan-Can highway. One important lesson which we had learn- ed in the previous ports was never to pay the quoted price. Cut it in half and start from there ; and with this thought in mind, we went ashore to bargain with the local natives. We were soon to find that they were thoroughly exposed to the feeble attempts of the would-be bargainers from the U. S., and we generally ended up pay- ing double the amount. The adaptable mid- dies found a way to cope with this prob- lem, and they were able to fill their AWOL bags with goods they picked up for practi- cally nothing. The Panama Canal and the monkey ' s face were sights which will be long remem- bered. It was in Panama City that Senor Yard followed Midshipman McGravey into one of the old ruins. The Midshipman had the occasion to widen their cultural back- ground as they were able to attend many varied exhibitions held nightly at the more exclusive spots throughout the city. After four days of hectic bargain- ing, along with some maintenance and cure and the charging of our batteries, we cast off and headed seaward again to our last foreign port of call, Kingston, Jamaica. Back to sea, things had not changed much. It was still the same old routine of tooling for the upper-jobs and playing it cozy whenever possible. Our second night out we had another one of those Class D extravaganzas by that ill famed producer, Cecil B. DeHemmerly. No sound equipment was necessary because most of our films were of the silent type. Although these pictures were of an early vintage, we all appreciated Mr. Hemmerly ' s attempt to entertain us with his movies and good humor. Our theater was one of the most plush in the vicinity with full reclin- ing blankets and automatic air and rain conditioning. The one thing that always re- mained in our favor was that we always managed to get seats in the orchestra while the peons were exiled to the balcony. After four more days before the mast, we arose early on the morning of Friday the 16th of February to see our next port, Kingston, Jamaica. As we sailed around the point, we passed over the ruins of old Port Royal, which was Henry Morgan ' s capital and was sunk by an earthquake in the late 17th century. We slowed our engines in order to pick up the pilot, and armed with bone in nose and spear in hand he swung aboard. Our entrance into Kingston Harbor was one of the speediest of the ship ' s histo- ry, and the natives on the dock could be seen running in all directions away from the ship as we tried to dock the Bay State in the heart of the city. Bells rang, the an- chors were dropped, and the pilot swung gracefully from the halyards as the ship burrowed in alongside the dock. After this hair-raising experience, the routine again returned to normal as we prepared to de- bark and explore this calypso paradise. Many of the more entei-prising natives could be seen on the dock passing out cards and giving sound advice as to the places where various things could be seen and had. Some of the midshipmen answered the call of Hey man, you want taxi? , and made trips across the island to Montego Bay, while others waited anxiously on the Mess Deck in anticipation of the posting of the Off Limits list. Kingston, with its many large buildings and busy streets, was quite a contrast to the previously visited islands. Its large crowds of shoppers, heavy traffic, and lead footed taxi drivers presented a definite threat to the fully loaded midshipmen re- turning from liberty. It seemed that the taxi cabs had two speeds, stop and go like hell. 124 mm Leaving the well tanned ladies of Ja- maica on the horizon, each new day at sea took on a new meaning as we anticipated our arrival in the good old U.S.A. and not having any more gook ports to look for- ward to. The Mids., the deck plates and even the upper jobs din ' t seem so bad as the day approached of Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Now much of our time was spent shining shoes, even our own sometimes, as to be prepared to help celebrate the festival prior to the beginning of Lent. Onward we sailed until at last one day the water turned from a beautiful blue to a dirty brown, and we all knew we had entered the Mississippi River delta. Soon everyone was on deck as we could see ahead of us the jetties extend- ing out from the mouth of the river and many ships anchored there, waiting to pick up a pilot. Soon after that we dropped an- chor until the fog lifted, and our pilot came aboard so that we could start our journey in the wake of Mark Twain up the Muddy Mississippi. The weather changed drasti- cally, and soon the temperature dropped to the 40 ' s. Rain and sleet failed to dampen our spirits as all aboard anxiously antici- pated our first liberty back home in the good old U.S.A. Our trip to New Orleans passed without incident, save for the usual round of brightening up the ship for our entry into port. As we went up the Missis- sippi, we congratulated ourselves on the spruce appearance of the vessel as the fruits of our labors during the past two months had begun to show. Tying up at the Talouise Street Wharf was a chore for even then we could feel the carnival fever of the Mardi Gras drawing us into the city. New Orleans being larger than Boston, with its many tall buildings and notorious spots provided an ideal port of re-entry for New Orleans and Mardi Gras marked the high point of the cruise, and it was with much anxiety that we all awaited liberty formation. ' Swept up by happy crowds, adopted by fiesta spirit, we gave ourselves to the God of Revelry. Our blood had be- come very thin in the many weeks in the Caribbean, and it was considered advisable to add the proper amount of anti freeze to our systems to thwart the freezing temper- atures. One such service station offering this solution was Pat O ' Briens near Bour- bon St. This establishment was soon con- verged upon by many of our number. The accommodations of this establishment were obviously too small for our horde, moving one of the aggressive members of the Corps to try in vain to remove the rear wall in order to increase the capacity. Others in our number became so engrossed in the col- orful parades with their decorated floats that they decided to take a more active part in the proceedings. As the Mardi Gras wore on, more and more middies could be seen riding on the floats distributing trinkets, not in the form of rings, bracelets, and the like, but church keys, job hats, bananas, and any other objects which could be used in retaliation to the barrage of garbage and dead soldiers being cast by the crowds. As we backed away from our dock at the foot of Talouise St. to the tune of Anchors Away, or was it Hit the Road Jack as play- ed by the river boat Delta Queen which had been tied astern of us, we looked back with few regrets to our visit in New Or- leans. Down the river we coasted and out across the Gulf of Mexico to our last port of call, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. As we sail- ed across the Gulf the sun once again shone on the Bay State as the temperatures be- gan to climb and the middies did their best to muster up the last of the bennies. A typi- cal log entry for this leg of the cruise would be: Few scattered clouds, light airs, sea calm, long low swells, visibility excellent, air temperature 82 80, water temperature 82. It was little wonder that during the evening many of the middies gathered up on the foc ' sle around a guitar to sing a few of our favorite sea chanties, ah yes ... I wish little girls were like ... During the voyage, the water turned to a beautiful light green, and at times the bottom could be seen forty feet below. As we passed through the Florida Keys and started up atthrough the Florida Keys and started up the coast, the sea traffic increased and even a few Navy ships passed close by for a clos- er look at the pride of the Massachusetts Navy. As the morning of 10 March dawned brightly, the Bay State entered Port Ever- glades, Florida, our home while in Ft, Lauderdale. As we backed down engines to halt the ship, a loud blaring sound was heard throughout the ship as reports ran rampart that a bearing had wiped and the turbine blades were rubbing against the casing. But further investigation located the sound in the forward section of the ship, and it was found that the noise was only the MMA symphony entering into the battle of the bands with the boys from The State of Maine, only to have their attempts thwarted when an ominous cloud of soot and boiler scale descended upon them due to the ill-timed efforts of our engineers to blow tubes. 126 After we had secured and the ship was cleaned most thoroughly from stem to stern, liberty was finally granted. The Bay State and the State of Maine provided open gangways to one another and many old ac- quaintances were renewed as the middies met and exchanged war stories. Ft. Lauderdale provided us with an op- portunity to compare our lot with that of Maine Maritime. Although the Bay State Maru is considered a mongrel among con- ventional ships, it presented the appearance of a shining new penny when compared to the rusting hull of the State of Maine, tied up astern of us. Because Maine had made the initial landing here and therefore was familiar with the cultural spots, their advice as to what to see and where to go eliminated much of the usual trial and error for us. Lenny ' s and the Elbow Room provided the last opportunity for us to drain our systems of energy and fill them with brewers gold. After four days bask- ing on the beaches and exploring Ft. Laud- erdale, the last of our capital having been exhausted and the last 86 sent to the home front, we cast off from our last port of call on the 1962 cruise. As we headed North once again, it was time to scrape the mold off our undress blues, which had been carefully stored in our lockers along with loaves of bread, dozens of eggs, frying pans, brown skivies, and colonies of cockroaches. As we headed North, the sea became rough again and the thoughts of sea sick- ness were once again prevalent. But our stomachs had long since become immuned to any reactions owing to the daily on- slaught of those culinary abortions served to us by the cooks. Some of the long-to-be- remembered specialities were swab stew and roast rectom of beef with tomain gravey. Through the efforts of our supply officer in Florida, we were able to purchase a shipment of frozen gulls to be used in the preparation of our new delicacy freekin chickazee. Food was of little interest to us now for in a few days we would be home. Up the coast we rolled, and on the fourth day we sailed around the tip of Province- town and into Boston Harbor. Through the efforts of our snipe department, we had arrived ahead of schedule and anchored in the harbor for the night. The next morning all hands were on deck as the ship slipped into Commonwealth pier to be greeted by a large crowd of families an d friends who had anxiously awaited our return. After 9000 miles and 9 ports of call, we were home ! Now that it is over and we look back at some of the more trying days of the cruise, we realize that the many hours spent on deck and in the engine room had instilled in us a sense of maturity and a feeling of responsibility which we will carry with us throughout our lives. 1963 CRUISE The morning of January 7, 1963 dawned bright and clear, but the clouds were con- gregating in the western sky as if in an- ticipation of the Bay State ' s departure into the cold North Atlantic. The ship was tied in the canal, as an endless stream of white cakes of ice were borne swiftly p ast by the current. By 11 o ' clock a large crowd of rela- tives and well-wishers had gathered to bid the midshipmen farewell on this, our second cruise. At 1300, with all our fingers crossed, the BAY STATE was underway. Fifteen minutes after leaving the pier we were fogbound. For the next three days the ship pitched, and the third class heaved as memories of the previous cruise returned vividly. Seasickness L. to R.: Downing, Flannery, Brunstrom, Quintero, Cunning-ham. is not in the mind, as the new squids will gladly testify. It is most often found in the stomach. On Friday, the 11th, we entered the Saint Johns River and proceeded to the city of Jacksonville, Florida, where we entered dry dock. Holes were sliced through bulkheads from No. 2 lower ' tween to the sick-bay area, through the next bulkhead, and through the ladderway leading down to the forward en- gine room. The old main condenser head was removed, and the new one, which had been lashed on the foc ' sle was installed. While the ship was under-going repairs at the yard, midshipmen set out to explore the city. We owe many thanks to the United Service Organization of Jacksonville which did much to make our stay here memorable. They sponsored a Welcome Bay State dance, and a tour to INIarineland and St. Augustine. They are probably still pondering as to just what branch of the Navy we were. Ten days is too long in any poi ' t, so we were glad to be at sea again when we finally sailed on the 21st. Four days later the BAY STATE passed under the ancient fortress of El Morro which once guarded the Bay of San Juan, Puerto Rico. 130 Not soon shall we forget this port, and it may be quite a while before the BAY STATE dares show her yellow and black stacks in Puerto Rican waters again. It seems that the Massachusetts ' Navy turned the local jug into an MMA barracks. There was that artist who set up shop atop a ladder in front of a certain tavern. He didn ' t stay there long. One midnight we were boarded by M.P. ' s who thought they were going to remove an upper-job for a slight miscalculation while driving. But Injun Joe stood up for his braves and repelled the boarders. Not to be outdone, the enemy returned two hours later with reinforcements. They captured not only the middy, but the gallant Bum as well. Those of us who did not accept San Juan ' s public hospitality went swimming at the beautiful beaches, climbed El Junque with its magnificent rain forest and mountain pool, or visited the fortress. We left San Juan with only a short delay, reasonable fines, and sentences suspended, and all hands including the Commander on board. February 2, was the day before the ship would cross the Equator. That evening we had a strange visitor — none other than Davy Jones himself. His habit consisted of a tri-cornered hat, and hair that reached to his heels. On his feet were frogman ' s flippers, and in one hand he held a spear-gun, in the other a scroll. But through it all there remained a strange resemblance to our ships carpenter Chips. After Davy made a good act of Contrition and Captain Rounds greeted him aboard, Davy began to read the charges from his scroll. Each of us pollywogs would be brought before the Court of King Neptune tomorrow in Latitude 000 degrees. 131 The next day all pollywogs were ordered to muster aft, and the loyal shellbacks of Neptune began the attack. The pollywogs made a good showing, but defeat was in- evitable. In short order we were all convert- ed to shellbacks, with a few bruises and a swim in the BAY STATE ' S luxurious pool to show for our troubles. The pool was left up for most of the cruise and became one of the passenger ' s favorite attractions. Making port at Bahia, Brazil, on Feb. 9, the uniform of the day became bermudas. I say, old boy, but it ' s a bit stiffling, you know ! Midshipmen were taken on a bus tour of the city. Many of us spent the afternoon on beautiful white beaches shaded by coconut trees, while the more studious went out to study anatomy. Almost every night while we were there there was a dance at the British Club. How- ever, the middies greatly outnumbered the girls, so many of us joined another dance that was going on at the scisors club. It seems that they were having try-outs for the Lenten Carnival season, and one night we were attracted by the rhythm of a loud drumming which sounded like a number of tom-toms. Investigating further we discov- ered a wild dance going on in a huge amphi- theater. Small makeshift bands of per- cussion instruments were parading about, dragging with them a group of wildly mov- ing human beings. The street was jammed with people — and middies, of course — wildly hopping about like so many lunatics. Oh well, we did our share of promoting interna- tional relations. Americano, si, si! Four days were spent in Bahia, and then we sailed for Montevideo, Uruguay. We tied up at the pier in the River Plate among the ships of the Uruguayan Navy which included many retired World War II rust buckets from the U. S. They only had one torpedo between them, but they made up for that by having the largest proportion of Admirals in the world. This harbor was a living museum of old ships, including a good number of coalburners. 132 i Most of our spending money went ashore in this port, as we invaded the Montevideo leather factories. Many of us started back to the ship wearing native cow hide jackets but we carried away untold numbers of boots, coats, jackets, wraps, and purses and anvthing else that could be slipped into our AWOL bags. We had reached our farthest Latitude South and we now set our course North for Rio, and the carnival. In Rio the BAY STATE tied up among other liners almost as famous — the FRANCE, ARGENTINA, BRAZIL and MONITOR. We had an entire week here and arrived on the third day of Carnival . I I People, people, and people. The city was one swarming, seething, mass of humanity, all bobbing up and down to the beat of the samba. The rhythm rang hypnotically in our ears — there was no escape. A few hours ashore and the midshipmen were as restless as the natives. Soon they too bobbed up and down. Liberty expired at 0200, and we had expired long before then. Don ' t anyone dare mention 0800 maintenance formation ! It was day after day of dancing in the street, pick pockets, middies costumes riding on floats and wild times. After Ash Wednesday the city suddenly dies, and we were almost at a loss for ex- citement. One of the most popular attrac- tions was the- surf at the Copacabana. The beach offered more than just sand and water to look at and it provided an excellent field trip for our biology students. Many of us took the cablecar ride to the top of the Sugar-Loaf, overlooking the city and the harbor. I It was in Rio that one of our noted class- mates decided to end his sea-going career. The Captain ordered the brig cleared and made ready for occupancy! Shiver me timb- ers, but we are getting salty! A few of us visited the Rio de Janerio Maritime Academy — there really wasn ' t much to drool about. That place made MMA look good. On Saturday, 2 March, visiting hours were shattered by the sound of the Man the Boats alarm with the words Fire! Fire! Fire in the garbage skow! as piped by the pleasant, phesasant. The fire was half out be- fore the alarm rang as the Bay State fire dept. handled the fire ably. On the 4th of March we departed Rio on a ten day run to the Naval station at Trinidad, B.W.I., minus one midshipman. One of our ports, Savannah, was cancelled thus making Trinidad our last stop before home. One look at Port-of-Spain was enough. We spent most of our time on this island in the E.M.C. It seems those fellows who dethron- ed the painter in San Juan decided they ' d take part in morning colors at the base and save the Marines the trouble of raising the flag the next morning. Somebody came aboard minus a pair of scivvies that night. We ' ve yet to see a Gyrene with a sense of humor, so shortly after 0800 the next morn- ing, there were some red faces around the ship, especially one which was redder than it usually was. 134 We had worn out our welcome in Trinidad and were anxious to be under way, but leaks in our kettle doomed us to spend a little more time on the jewel on the Caribbean. After two extra days of hard work on the part of Fred, Willie, Mario, the Groid and some help for Chiefy, on Mondav, 18 March, much to the relief of us all, BAY STATE finally got to sea. Now began a race against time, an exciting climax to the cruise. The question was would we make New Bedford by next weekend? Two days out of Trinidad it was announc- ed that the ship would go directly to Buz- zards Bay which was a relief to all because no one was looking forward to still another gook port. The Engineers poured on the steam. But we can ' t be doing 16 knots, the speedometer only reads 14! The North At- lantic greeted us with rough seas. We were taking spray over the bow. Saturday we were off Long Island. Sunday morning dawned bright and clear, and on the western horizon rose the beautiful dunes of Cape Cod. That same afternoon we entered the Canal. Both banks were lined with people greeting the ship on her return. Not since the Hunger- Strike were there so many cars on Taylor ' s Point. The quarantine officials held up the gangway awhile, but finally Quebec came down. The voyage was over. 1964 CRUISE On a typical fop: shrouded January morning in Buzzards Bay, for the first time in many months, the first class arose at 0600, for this was to be the day that we had all so anxious- ly awaited for 2 - long years — the begin- ning of our upper-job cruise. In all organizations there should be no flaws but as usual in ours there was one, for not even the frantic attempts of the local townspeople to ward off the fog and hasten our departure were of any use, and to our displeasure our sailing time was delayed until much later in the afternoon. By 2:30 all lines had been taken in, and the Bay State rolled gracefully away from its home berth and pointed its bow out into Buzzards Bay. We all felt a slight nos- talgic twinge as we steamed down the Canal for we were leaving our loved ones far be- hind. Our nostalgia was soon forgotten though as we realized that this was to be our last cruise and our final goal was quickly approaching. So, with these thoughts in mind we prepared to face the perils of our first night at sea. Jacksonville was not a port to which we particularly looked forward, because of our visit the previous year, for here there seemed to be more sailors in town than at sea. The U.S.O. arranged trips for us to Marineland which were primarily designed to keep us out of trouble. While in drydock the Mid- shipmen were able to gain worthwhile ex- perience by boarding the various ships which were undergoing repairs. We took from these ships valuable bits of knowledge as well as visual aids to be brought back to Bings ' class. Shortly after our departure the waters of the Atlantic proved uncooperative as usual and many members of the third class could be seen mustered along the lee rail — the first class had long before assumed the hori- zontal. We of the first class took pride in assum- ing our new duties both on deck and in the engine room. This was the culmination of our years at the Academy for now we were to be assigned to positions of responsibility such as Officer of the Deck, Navigator, Throttle- man and Cadet Engineer. As our days at sea began to run into one another we all eagerly looked over the bow for the lights that would signal the entrance to the St. Johns River and the beginning of our journey up to Jacksonville, Florida and the annual drydock period. After ten days of hard labor, sulphur smelling water and miserable weather the dry dock was pulled out from under us and much to our surprise the Bay State still floated. With the ship back in one piece again we headed down the St. Johns and turned South to begin our trip to Panama. As the sun climbed higher in the sky and the weather grew warmer the Bennie sea- son was officially open. As usual some over indulged during these first few days and were soon as red and gristly as a piece of Grubby Als ' roast beef. We all looked forward t othe Panama Canal transit, and were somewhat disappointed to find that the crossing would be made partly at night. As we entered Gatun Lake the word was passed for a wash down. So, as Boink scurried off to find a cozy spot, the hoses were broken out and the ship, including decks, bulkheads, midshipmen, fan motors and compartments was thoroughly doused. After many laughs and happy horse play we all changed into dry clothing and settled down to view the transit. As our passage continued and the sun set, a miriad of color- ed lights showed us our course. A large number of us remained up to see the sights that night as an alumnus piloted us through. We were all amazed at the ingenuity of the project. At midnight we tied up at the Naval Base in Balboa, and a better docking, this ship has never made. For the first time in many landings we failed to do any damage to the pier. It was rather disappointing not to see line handlers, camels and large sec- tions of pier floating beside the ship as is generally the case. Thus began our first cruise liberty, Balboa, Canal Zone. Situated on the west coast of Panama, and set deeply in Panama Bay, lies the small town of Balboa, Canal Zone. The U. S. Navy Base at Rodman was graced by the presence of the Bay State for almost three days. The topography of the Base and surrounding areas is very beautiful. Lying approximate- ly one half mile from the Miraflores Locks, it is ringed with deep jungle which makes a pretty contrast with the vivid blue waters of Panama Bay. 139 Unusually enough most of the trouble in Panama began before our arrival and much to our displeasure we were not allowed into the Republic. So, for many of us, the Teen- age Club, the Casa d ' Amour and many of the old ruins had to go unseen. The Base had many things to offer, including the officers ' swimming pool which the Middies more or less commandeered, and a Naval Exchange which providently withstood the strain of the Bay States ' beer runs. Our liberty ended, and on Tuesday morn- ing we drew in our lines and prepared for the Bay States ' emergence into the Pacific Ocean. As we pulled away from the dock at Rodman, we let our thoughts drift back to the good times we had there. Yet we were not too sad, as we were to return to this port within a months time. As we headed out into the Pacific, the temperatures soared both on deck and in the engine room. The deckies were finally in an enviable position as they would occas- ionally leave the comfort of their lounging chairs and venture down to the door leading to the aft engine room from which they could watch with delight, the soggy first class engineers engaged in bloody combat for squatters rights on top of the ball cooler. Days at sea are mighty long aboard a school ship. The usual complaints about the food came up, and they were handled in much the same manner as always. Smile , they said, things could be worse . So we smiled and things did get worse. We couldn ' t ml kick about the weather however, as it turned on quite a show, and was sunny the major part of the trip. This was good news for the first class navigators, as they were required to turn in the ships position each day. Varied sights accompanied us along our jaunt up the coast of Central America and Mexico. Chief among these were the schools of por- poises that sometimes played around our bows. After what seemed like years at sea, because of the unbearable heat, we finally sighted the entrance to Acapulco Harbor. 140 In Acapulco the Bay State anchored out and it was with great anticipation that we all awaited the lowering of the liberty launch. As was expected the launch proved inoper- able, but after a slight delay it was repaired and the deckles commenced ramming the gangway with the liberty parties. Some of the midshipmen ventured to Taxco, while others, using their ODAR (oder detecting and ranging gear) were led to La Huerta which bore a marked resemblance to the black hole of Calcutta. Water skiing was very popular with the middies and many of us skied out close to the Bay State. One would-be artist among our ranks tried a close approach and encountered a very untimely fall close to the mouth of our Mississippi. When he finally surfaced he looked disgust- edly about as he found himself surrounded by a school of brown-fish. The Mirador Hotel was the biggest tourist attraction in Acapul- co. Here you could have a drink of Taquilla (which consists of ground up cactus rinds) and watch the famous Mexican divers who plunge 135 feet into a shallow gorge filled by the surging sea. With tired bodies and stiff elbows we left Acapulco and settled down for a ten day run to San Francisco. After a few days at sea the Pacific became very unpacific and as usual, an opportunity soon presented itself to separate the men from the boys and to prove to the few men among us that the old Bay State was a very capable vessel in a seaway, although a bit removed from pas- senger liner comfort. After a while she looked like a ghost ship. Those who chanced a stroll about her careening decks found that only the watch was to be seen, and most of them were rather an unpleasant sight to behold. The storm had passed, for the most part, by the next morning and most of us eagerly lined the rails to get our first view of San Francisco, California. At long last we took our pilot aboard and made for the entrance of one of the most famous harbors in the world. As we gazed at the gigantic span of the Golden Gate Bridge, our thoughts turned to the number of distinguished persons and ships that had made this same entrance. Ml San Francisco was everything a true Mid- die could want in a liberty port. The Bay State was docked right in the center of San Francisco ' s Fishermans ' Wharf area, and we got an eyeful of sightseeing right from the ship. The exotic nightclubs, the quaint cable cars, and the allurements of Chinatown were the high spots on the Middies agenda. Many of the faithful melted under the charms of the buxom beauties so prevalent in this area. Due to the foresight of one of our first classmen we had arranged for us a dance at the San Francisco College for Women. This was attended by many of the midship- men and proved to be o ne of the best times of the cruise. In fact many of the Middies returned to Lone Mountain on successive liberty days to express their thanks and make new friends. Some of us visited the North Beach area in which were located such famous night spots as the Hungry i , the Purple Onion and Finochios . But a Mid- die is more attracted to the beer-swilling, sing-along type of establishment and soon the Red Garter won our favour. All good things must come to an end, and just when our pocketbooks began to strain we sadly said goodby to the best port of the cruise. Once again with fair weather as our com- panion, we turned our bow southward, and began the second half of the cruise, the run to San Diego. The trip down the coast was one of calm weather, and sunny skies, and we marveled at the calm water, something very unusual when the Mass. Maritime Academy is at sea. It was on these beauti- ful days that we all gave thanks to Howard Johnson Mcleod a ' nd Co. for their greatly appreciated ice cream. During these days at sea our major job is that never-ending one of maintenance — chip, red lead, and paint; and then begin again. The cycle is endless and the crew is always behind. In addition, the first class deckmen were supposed to navigate. Oh, we could get our latitudes and longitudes with- out any trouble, the hard part was in making them coincide with those of the Bum. Late the second night we dropped the hook in the anchorage outside of San Diego Har- bor and bedded down for the night to see what the morning would bring. of the officers and crew. This heat also serv- ed to slow the reactions of the cadets on watch. It was because of this, that our an- swer to the missing link, the Wunk crossed paths with our lady engineer, and as he tried to explain to her why the feed pump was stopped and the water level was out of sight she could conk him with her pocketbook. Other than this, an uneventful passage brought us back to what some of us consider- ed our second home — Panama. Once again we were asked to stay within the base, but the aborigines ' call of thees ees de Panama Canal, come see de monkey face and hey man, what you got to trade as well as the thought of a nice cool bottle of Hamms, or the never to be forgotten Brahama Choppe beckoned us into town. As usual Balboa proved to be just an endless succes- sion of bars and houses of ill repute. We searched in vain for libraries, museums, and other places to enjoy ourselves in, but after futile exploration we were forced to find our amusement elsewhere As the sun arose we found ourselves at the entrance to one of the Navys largest state side installations. Soon the Pilot ar- rived and we began our journey past many of the Bay States ' younger sisters into San Diego harbor. In San Diego it was evident that our uni- forms were not going to be of any help to us for this town was strictly Navy. On the first day ashore many of us headed South to the Mexican border. After a short ride, signs advertising Marriages and Divorces the Same Day , became prevalent and we knew that this must be Tia Juana. Leather and straw goods were the local products and sumberos replaced job hats as the uniform of the day. Back in San Diego many of our number were soliciting the nautical bars de- signed to satisfy the thirsty sailor. The fas- cinations of Disneyland provided many of us with hours of enjoyment as we played in the realm of Donald Duck, Davy Crocket and Jules Verne. Many good times were had in San Diego and our departure was a sad occasion. We had to leave, and leave we did with our bow pointing once again toward Balboa, Canal Zone. Once at sea and heading South the temp- erature outside began to climb, as did that 143 The hig-hlight of our stay in Panama was the soft ball game between the Rodman All- Stars and the Maritime Fire bailers. The middies made a good showing during the first few innings, but the Navy knew how to sink the Maritime and began providing free beer. From that point on the middies ' ball handling became erratic and during the last innings only one or two were able to remain standing at their positions. After the game the Pan-Am trophy was sadly given over to the Rodman team to be placed for all to see in the E. M. Club. Tears came to the eyes of many of us as we thought of leaving this fondly remember- ed city that so many of us had lost something in, and some of us such as Whitey and the Gull, were ready to apply for our second pa- pers in obtaining Panamanian citizenship. 1 We transited the Panama Canal in daylight this time and really got an idea what it was like. This included another gigantic scrub down by the deckles, and a sight seeing trip for the off watch engineers. We were mov- ing along fine, but all of a sudden, for no apparent reason we stopped and dropped the hook in Gatun Lake for twelve hours. I guess that just goes to show that it just doesn ' t pay to initiate the pilot. By reville the next morning we were once again bouncing along on the Atlantic Ocean. A warning of stormy weather saw us buttoned up tight, but it was only a scare, and the sun continued to shine. Routine was the adjective describing our trip toward Galveston; sacks, watch, sacks, maintenance formations and more sacks. As we entered the mouth of Galveston harbor word was spread that many of the city ' s dignitaries were on hand to greet us, so the almighty powers summoned the fog and we were forced to anchor until the fol- lowing morning. On Sunday, most of the midshipmen were taken by bus to see the nuclear ship Savannah, and were given a hasty tour and sent away. Galveston had one bit of real estate, which attracted all of us, a brewery. For the next two days the Fal- staff Co. was being drained of its products at such a rate that extra shifts were put on to meet the demand. After two days we were asked to leave and with us left dozens of glasses, blazers, pitchers of beer and in one case a full barrel was cozied out under a mid- shipman ' s blouse. St. Patty ' s day was celebrated in appro- priate fashion at the B and L Bar where green hats, green beer and green job suits were a fitting tribute to the Irish among us. Our last night in this port proved to be one of our best liberties of the cruise. With light hearts and big heads we left Galveston and rounded the tip of Florida into the Atlantic toward our last port of call, Palm Beach, Florida. On passing through the break water which led to the dock area at West Palm Beach it was decided that we would try something new this time, that is, backing into our berth at the pier. We did rather well considering, although it looked as though we were going to make an accordion out of the small coastal tanker that was tied up astern of us. Many of the first classmen who had been to Ft. Lauderdale during our third class cruise obtained special liberty in order to return there to participate in the college week festivities. The rest of us used these days catching the last few bennies and in search of peace offerings for the folks at home. It was with increasing anticipation that we left Florida and headed North for home again. Needless to say our spirits were high as we headed for Boston on the final leg of our journey. Four more days and we would be home again. The Boston lightship loomed over the hor- izon in no time at all, and soon we were pass- ing by the Graves, into President Roads and up into the anchorage right off Common- wealth Pier. Since we arrived at night, we dropped the hook and rode at anchor until the next morning. Line handlers were sent ashore right after breakfast and we were soon maneuvering alongside the pier. Once secured, the ship was stormed by enthusiastic parents, girl friends, relatives, and other friends of the middies. Yet, there wasn ' t one soul on board who didn ' t utter the words that mark the return of all the Academys ' cruises — THANK GOD! Those who take part in organized sports at the Academy deserve all the applause we can muster. They lose not only valuable study time but are further han- dicapped in that they are not excused from their ship- board duties. The lack of both proper facilities and wholehearted cooperation on the part of the authorities has under- standably led to a certain amount of failure regarding team scores, but not team spirit. It is to their effort, especially that of Coach Bill Hendy, and undying spirit that the following pages are dedicated. 148 SPORTS Front row, L to K. — Sullivan D.

SOCCER With determination, drive, spirit and a years experience, M.M.A. launched its second soccer campaign in the schools history with a firm purpose to better last years mark. It wasn ' t long before eyes were starting to open and they remained open, as the middies log- ged victories against formidable New Eng- land soccer opponents. These victories were not easily come by however, with practice time and facilities very limited. But under the able direction of Coach Bill Hendy and the long sought for cooperation of the under- classmen, these restrictions seemed minor and the goal to better themselves became a reality. In the early weeks of the season, when physical condition was stressed, Scott Slade took charge of daily calisthenics. Through his desire to win some soccer games, Scott increased the pace daily and soon the fats of summer were gone and the whole team (up- per jobs included) were ready to play full time. To keep this article honest, I must men- tion that Hugh Quirk, Bob Flannery and Jack McQuade never did shake the weight but this did not hamper their ability to play. This conditioning proved a decisive advan- tage in many of the early contests, when the middies simply ran better soccer teams off the field. Coach Hendy, not completely satisfied with offensive output of the Mariners went to wol-k on the passing and playmaking aspects of the game. It wasn ' t long before he had two good passing lines. This was shown in the big increase in goals scored. The offensive output was five times greater than the pre- vious year. The major contributors were Co- captain John Benn, Phil Dunphy and Boom- Boom Donovan. Although this increased offensive game brought new heights to the Mariner ' s game, it cannot overshadow the iron-horse work of the defense. Game after game the middies secondary was there, sometimes short hand- ed, sometimes playing with an injury but al- ways giving 100%. eighty-eight minutes a game. Injuries were the only major stumbling block of the entire season. Injuries are a part of any sport but M.M.A. received more than their share. If these misfortunes had not oc- cured there is no way of estimating the heights which the Mariners might have reached. The class of 64 extends a tip of the hat to Coach, Lt. William R. Hendy and his soccer players for their past season ' s per- formance. We wish Coach Hendy all the luck in the future for continued success and feel certain that the sport of soccer will always find a place in the athletic curriculum of the Mash ' achusetts Maritime Academy.

From Panama and Acapulco to Buzzards Bay, international sportwriters have flocked to stadiums (and beaches) to witness the dazzling performances of these athletes both on and off the gridiron. Handling the throttles for the Turbines was that balding old Y. A. Turtle, brought up from the New York Farm Team two years ago. Running from the fullback slot came veteran Bitter Bilwy Mahoney carry- ing the scars of an old pro and supplementing the versatile talents of the fine tailbacks, Bunkie Spider Brunstrom, ladies man of the team, and Dave P. F. White, acquired in a post season trade after an excellent ex- hibition tour with the Phoenix Club of the Panamanian League. In any strong team you find the forward wall as the deciding factor in winning and losing games, here the Turbines proved to be the most proficient. Providing one of the nicest targets any QB could hope for was Bruce Poopsie Kuechler at the right end and supported by the left end Dave Pluto Sullivan, who gobbled up pigskin like it was Milk Bone. At right guard, when able to get off the plantation, Malcolm X. Quintero counterparted by Hughie Flintstone Quirk, the raw meat man of the team. And last, but not least, slithering over the ball. Snake Shrapnel Cunningham, a zoo keeper and rancher during the off season. After the past season the Turbines will no longer be playing football before packed sta- diums around the globe. Now, subject to the league ' s retirement benefits, many of them will hang up their spikes and take their place in the M. M. A. Hall of Heroes. 152 CROSS COUNTRY L to R, First row — Kelleher, Crovo, Felos, Dainis, Caia, Samolchuck, Second row, L to R — Brown, Breen, Ricar- do, Thayer, Kenney, Third row, L to R — Olander, Mc- Murray, Goodsell.

The name, Ring Dance is derived from the ceremony in which the first class midshipman takes part. In this ceremony each midshipman dips his class ring into the waters of the seven seas con- tained in the binnacle which is the housing of the mariners com- pass. This ceremony symbolizes the marriage of each young man to the sea and the straight and true course he will sail throughout the voyage of life. Following the Ring Ceremony the Second Class Honor Guard per- formed a series of precision maneuvers giving way to general dancing by the student body and their dates. The Ring Dance this year proved to be very successful owing in large part to the many long hours spent in preparation by the Dance Committee.

THE MUSTER STAFF . . . Recording a Year ' s Events 162 THE THOUGHT OF TREADING One thinp: in life I really dread, Is the thought that one day I may be a tread. The only thing in life I really fear, Is staying here another year. Afraid of the thought that I may fail, I won ' t read skin books or write any mail. Always I have a notebook near, ' Cause three years is long enough to be here. The pain and the heartbreak won ' t be too bad, It ' s the extra time here that would drive me mad. No fun, no women, no gambling, no booze. Just the terrible thought of another cruise. I ' d think of my work, my sweat and my toil. And those midnight watches with a brush and some oil. I ' d think of the bilges through which I ' ve crawled, And the many names that I ' ve been called. All that would be nothing, in the end that would show, But with still 1,095 days to go. Thats a lot of formations and morning showers, Built around your 26,000 hours. I ' m not knocking the way of this place, I ' d just like to get back to the human race. So I ' ll study hard and soon I ' ll be. Out of this place and back where I ' m free I ' ll be true to my studies and I won ' t kick. So I won ' t end up on the short end of the stick. I won ' t tread, for there ' s no worse fate, than to graduate one year late. On some future date I ' ll be out. And from the world you ' ll here this shout ; Look at that man, he ' s right on the line. He ' s a graduate of Mass.

Located one deck below the main, It ' s the place that happenings are far from sane. We dodge the place from rev ' le to check. We won ' t go near that damn Rec Deck. There ' s one thing though that drives us nuts, It ' s the upper jobs smoking all our butts. And so many times we hold our lips tight, When some upper-job would ask for a light. They say get a sangie, and a brownie or two. So you do it fast so you can screw. Young man , is the call the upper jobs yell. Soon as we hear it we run like hell. Where we run I dare not say. But it ' s not the Rec Deck, it ' s the other way. Hey coffee, hey Tang, hey gimme a smoke. One week of this and everyones broke. You duck your head when you see the sight.
