Although th aca lemj i j as chartered over t ree q |ti|rs o a century ago, it facilities is puzzaroMsay, l $1assachusetts I ar |nong the finest and n DSt fij n any plcational institution. 13 In 1965 the academy became part of the Massachusetts State College System, and at that time its facilities were limited to a 41 5 foot training ship and a converted warehouse which contained five classrooms and a small library. An intense and ambitious construction program was established and in 1969 the first of the academy ' s new facilities, the science and administration building, was completed. When the class of 1975 entered the academy in July of 1 971 , the gymnasium, library, and dormitories were still in their construction stages. The gymnasium was opened to cadets in January of 1972, just prior to departure on the annual training cruise. Upon return- ing from the cruise in March 1972, cadets occupied the dormi- tories for the first time, and a modern library and computer center also became available to the academy ' s populus at that time. Since the initial opening of the academy ' s new campus in 1972, changes have continued to take place. Cadet mess is now held in a modem dining hall, additional wings have been built onto the dormi- tory complex; and the academy has acquired a new training ship. At this writing, construction still continues as the founda- tion is being laid for still more dormitory facilities. Altiiough the academy has taken on a new face in recent years, it still retains its original mission: To become a Licensed officer in the U.S. Merchant Marine To earn the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Nautical Science or in Marine and Electrical Engineering -4 To obtain a commission as Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve ii The past four years have been a time of decision for the academy. For three and a half of these turbulent years, the man at the helm has been Admiral Lee Harrington. The decisions have been his to make, but what we, the class of 1 975, appreciate most is the opportunity we had to help make them. Since the time Mr. Harrington first assumed the presidency in January of 1 972, his concerns have centered on quality educa- tion, professional training, and the new direction the academy has taken. No other administra- tor previous to Admiral Harring- ton has held cadet opinion as a criteria for decision. It is for these reasons that we dedicate our yearbook to him. Daniel J.

That day, July 6, 1 971 , is one that will always be remembered by the class of 1 975 as a turn- ing point in our lives. Although no one was really sure what to expect as we embarked upon our four year mission, J. M. Cease soon proved that even our most remote fears would soon become realities, (ref. COMCAD NOTICE 1 -71 ) After signing several forms (the contents of which were discovered three years later), we were each given a duffle bag, mattress, billet number, and twenty push-ups and introduced to our new home known as the USTS Bay State . At that point some decided they like their old homes better, but all the true fish chose to stay. 27 Youngie year brought us new miseries, joys, hopes, dreams, and most of all, friendships. With the exception of the cadets who later became known as the attrition factor, we sur- vived messcooking, upper jobs, John Fortune- seeker ' s chow, and the aft heads. On January 20, 1 972 a rumor that our plate steel home was really a ship capable of mobili- ty was proved to be fact, and we set sail for shipyard in Jacksonville. We learned quite a bit about the life of a seafarer in our three week stay, and also became experts in the falsifica- tion of identification so as to gain access to the local night clubs. With our eyes still bulging 28 from the swell shows we saw, and one chief engineer later, we set sail for our next port of call. The run of Barbadoes was quite an experience, and most of us found the run to the heads fun too. Our liberty launch dropped us at what had to be one of the cultural centers of the world. Nelson St. After several hundred rum- cokes and a night at Harry ' s, where our eyeballs bulged once again; we all stocked up on those liquid souvenirs at the duty free store. Funny how none of those gifts ever made it home. Once more the Bay State attained mobility and we set course for St. Thomas. In spite of the many gay inhabitants we met, this island also proved to be an experience. The beach- es and beauty of the port left us all longing to stay, but time and cruise itineraries march on, so we again sober- ed up and sailed, with hopes of return- ing someday. Funky Nassau was our next port of call, and although a little expen- sive, it provided for us well. We found an abundance of clubs, beaches, and companionship, the latter being provided by the young ladies who were also visiting the island from Mother Butler High School . Many found souvenirs imported from Alcapulco. We returned to the States via Port Canaveral. By this time most of us were quite low on funds, but that didn ' t prove to be detrimental, as there wasn ' t anything worth spending money on anyways. Most of us spent our time there writing home, in most cases for the first time since leaving B. Bay. By way of the later to become famous Trape- zoidal Route, we arrived in Miami, the most mem- orable part of which was probably the gala celebra- tion held by the upper job engineers. The next day was a real horror show for the guys who had to clean the compartment, and even more so for those who attended the party. After what seemed an eternity, we set sail for Buzzards Bay, where we were again united with our families. After a blood test to be sure we hadn ' t contracted any rare diseases on Nelson St., we were also reunited with our girlfriends. Our arrival back at school for a brief quarter be- fore summer vacation brought us a new environ- ment known as dormitories. The festivities were great, and why not? We had things like desks, book- shelves, and a sink in every room to celebrate. June came quickly and we went on our four month leave that came about because of a policy change to have youngies indoctrinated in the fall instead of summer. Third job year began in October of 1 972 and we 31 saw our school was still changing. We now ate chow in a brand new dining hall, and the construction of more dor- mitories was underway. Because the change from shipboard to dormitory liv- ing had been overlooked in certain re- spects, there was a severe lack of baby- sitters, and it was party time again. Naturally we had split into deck and engine sections that year, but we still pulled together, and with few excep- tions, had managed to survive the aca- demic load. The year ended as quickly as it began and we were once again pre- 32 paring to put to sea. Some of the more fortunate guys decided to ship out with the merchies and Navy, but most of us opted for the Bay State one way or another. Because of our limited cruising capacity, the cruise itiner- ary called for us to stay Stateside. We said goodbye to family and friends in June of 1 973, and put to sea once again. Cruis- ing astern for most of the four day run, we arrived in our first port of call. New York City. After a little misunderstanding with the Customs officials, we gladly set sail for Newport, Rhode Island. Newport wasn ' t quite as bad as New York, thanks to the Datum club. Firefighting school proved to be quite an experi- ence, and after showing a few Navy chiefs what a real fire- hose festa was like, we again fired up the Bay State rid weighed anchor. 33 After traveling in circles until the ship got dizzy, we arrived in Baltimore five days later. The Block was discovered by Maritime within minutes, and most of us found it to be the only attraction the city had. Time dragged on and we finally got ready to shove off. Boston was a welcome sight, and most of us head- ed for home as there wasn ' t anything to keep us in the city. We took all the local politicians out for a boat ride while in Boston as a good will gesture. again said good-bye to our girlfriends, and headed for Canada. Quebec welcomed us with open arms and a three mile flight of stairs, and proved to be the best port of the cruise. Plenty of action was found between the Boardwalk and discoteques in the city, and the cruise was finally starting to be fun. Quite a few dollars later, we headed down the seaway for Hali- fax, and swearing never to return to that part of Nova Scotia again, it was on to Bermuda. The run to Bermuda was a refreshing i change as the deckles finally learned how to navigate in a straight line and kept their hands off the engine order telegraph. Although our funds were low we finally hit port, some managed to rent motorcycles and destroy them in a mere eight hour rental period. The beaches and bars were fun, but we were anxious to get home, and it was on to Buzzards Bay. The run home was uneventful, and after unloading garbage for four hours, we were granted liberty and went home for a month ' s vacation. Upon returning for second job year, the deckles found the Bum was waiting for them ; and the engineers got a lot of static from the electrician who stole Christmas, also known as the GRYNCH. The academic load again swung his axe, and after cutting down the class a little more, we completed another year of book work. The Old Babe went to the Gillette factory to become razor blades a few tons lighter, as we all managed to get a little something to remember her by before she left the academy pier for the last time. We watched her leave with watery eyes, and then went to work on New York Maritime ' s reject which later became the Bay State III . Wonder what ever happened to Bay State H . April we went to Boston to prepare our new ship for a European cruise, and it was then that we realized that the C.G. inspections in New York were a lot easier to get by than they are in Boston. After an extended stay in shipyard, we set course for Ponta Delgata, Azores, with a load of clothes for the people there. Upon arrival in the Azores we felt like good Samaritans bringing clothes to the inhabitants of the island, as the only things they had to wear were black dresses and army uniforms. Most of us rented a car while in the Azores, but any one visiting the island after us couldn ' t; as there weren ' t any left 38 that could still be driven. The ship left port with the owners of the rental agencies still on the dock trying to get paid for damages. Lisbon, Portugal was next on the agen- da and it proved to be a good time. Being upperjobs, we didn ' t have any trouble find- ing the better part of the city, and every- one got what they wanted. They also got a shot from Tony the following day just to be on the safe side. Our cultural exchanges with the Portuguese ended and it was on to Bordeaux. The French proved to be very hospit- able, much to our surprise, and they were overwhelmed by our willingness to attend their wine tasting parties. We finally found out why the people in French mov- ies were always sitting in sidewalk caf s, as the scenery was gorgeous, and I do mean gorgeous. We had our fill of vino and fromage, said good bye to Madame Fifi, and it was again time to sail. t L .Xtf 39 Liverpool proved to be fantastic, and the British hospitality will not soon be forgot- ten. It was a welcome relief to speak English to people who could understand it. The train ride to London was on the agenda for most of us, and we saw a pretty good piece of England before leaving. We traded in our shillings, said good bye once more, and prepared for the long run home. The new Bay State ran well the entire cruise and we arrived at our anchorage at the end of the canal right on schedule. After a six hour delay due to fog, we rammed th ' Last quarter came, and with the coasties behind us, and a light academic quarter ahead of us, the local bars and package stores noticed a sharp increase in their business. Jobs were pretty tight, but most of us eventually found some sort of employ- ment, and the rest just decided to wait for things to break in the shipping world. We had one last blowout before graduation known as the Bourne Scenic Park Party, and probably instituted a new school tradition in the process. The big day came quickly, and May 31 , 1 975 ended our stay at the academy. The four years passed quickly, but the friendships we made during those years will undoubtedly last a lifetime. In closing we would like to thank the administrators and instructors at the academy for their never ending devotion and interest in our lives. Their contributions to us and the academy will never be forgotten. It is only appropriate to end by saying to any cadet who will read this brief history at any time in the future: SKIN, WE GOT OURS! ! RING DANCE AALTO.

PETER HJALMER AALTO Brigham Street Hubbardston, Massachusetts BIRD Marine Engineering Double A , beep beep, lettuce, tomato, and onion, also known as Le petit fouzex came flying in from Hubbards- ton looking for a place to perch for a while before taking off to bigger and better things. After his landing, we discovered that the Bird was a quiet one, so quiet in fact, that he wasn ' t even missed on our 3rd job cruise! Peter has acquired a certain bogart habit, holding the record for not buying soap, toothpaste, and spare tires. Fridays bring the Bird home to his firewood, and the last couple of years he has been haunted by a strange clip- clap of wooden shoes following him to the bird house . The Class of ' 75 wishes Peter a set of sideburns and best wishes to a fine shipmate. Honor Guard, NCO, Maine Raiders. Fish Club MARK PELTONEN AMES Phinneys Lane Barnstable, Massachusetts BOGGER ' Marine Engineering Fresh off the cranberry bogs with a cue stick in one hand and a tall six pack of Bud in the other, Bogger heard there was a large group of fish to be hustled at B-Bay. The Bogger will be remembered as two big smelly feet hanging out of his rack, and for all the gorgeous Cape Cod babes he fixed up with his ex-friends. Also, noteworthy are Bogger ' s gazelle-like leaps on the basketball court and his hor- rendous wrestling tactics, not to mention the great bowling party we never had. Upper job year we saw a new Bogs minus one gap, weeeoo! We also saw Bogger total his car for the third time and become ground round . Mark has gained our respect as a good sport with endless patience and we ' re sure he ' ll make a good engineer, if he can find the engine room! Best wishes from us all. Bogs. Basketball 1, 2, Baseball 1, Honor Guard, President of Bowling Club, Maine Raiders, ACQ MOUSE Marine Engineering Mousey joined the cadet battalion as an innocent, good natured kid, and will be leaving us in pretty much the same condition; although he has acquired a taste for the wild life while at Maritime. He may be small in size, but he ' s big in stature and established himself as a leader early in his Maritime career. Even John Morgan recognized this when he cited the Mouse as the cleanest shaven man in our class. Upperjob year saw John emerge as a fierce first class- man, feared by all the youngies. If there ' s one thing we can be sure of, it ' s that we ' ll all miss the Mouse. A true friend, capable engineer, and fine shipmate, we all wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

ARNETT 6525 Allegheny Road Alabama, New York Because Terry ' s home was such a great distance from Maritime, he soon found a home away from home in Brain- tree. He got a little more than a roof over his head and three squares from Biff ' s family, as he decided to steal their daughter too! Among his many achievements here at the academy, Terry won the Hank Hemmerly Look Alike Contest. Nutts plans to find himself a coastal shipping job. and then get established ashore. One of the most good natured and sincerest of shipmates, we know Terry will do well in whatever the future holds for him. Cadet Officer, Cross Country, Intramurals. Newspaper Staff. Yearbook Staff.

It didn ' t take us much longer to realize that our token Beetle was also hyper. Jim never found life at Maritime easy, but always managed to come through, especially on the lacrosse field. Probably the most unforgettable experience anyone could have with Beetle is riding in a car with good old inches Bayerle behind the wheel. The Class of ' 75 wishes a good friend the best of luck shipping, although we doubt he ' ll need it. Lacrosse, Skiing, intramurais JAMES RUDOLPH BAYERLE 228 Manchonic Ext. Wilberham, Massachusetts HUGO ANTONIUS BOGAARD 50 Savoy Avenue Springfield, Massachusetts ' BOGUS Marine Engineering The mystery cadet of 4A will always be known for sur- viving Richard Church for a roommate without developing any permanent brain damage. After regaining his sanity over a long summer leave, Hugo set out on a one year mis- sion to seek and explore new worlds in room 2111, and at the bird house . Second job year found Bogus alone to continue his ex- ploration and the research of body surfing on siliconed floors. Bernie ' s son justifies his first floor berth by being president of the Buccaneer Bike Club. Best wishes and smooth seas, Hugo.

He has always been a good sport, taking the brunt of all the old man jokes. How many is that today. Ken? He will probably go down in his- tory as the only cadet to double as a blackboard eraser, and for his famous line: Smoke for a shipmate? If you ' re ever in the Jersey area, look up Ken and ask him to take you to see Gypsy; but if you arrive in the afternoon you ' ll probably have to wake him up as he ' ll be taking his nap. Best wishes to a true friend and shipmate. Intramurals KENNETH MARTIN BRACK 985 Schopman Drive Secaucus, New Jersey RONALD Marine Engineering RONALD WRIGHT BRAIS 310 South Washington Street North Attleboro, Massachusetts Little did MMA know that when we got Ronald we were getting the original six-million dollar man. The Bitter Brais was always accused of taking funny pills which eventually turned out to be vitamin D , leaving us with no explanation for his occasional knee failures. In spite of his rubber legs, Ronald turned out to be one of Maritime ' s finest athletes, prancing on the lacrosse field with the grace of a gazelle. Ronnie also proved his athletic abilities to the fairer sex with a lady in every port, i.e. Wheaton College, Bridge- water State, Vermont, and Portland. The class of ' 75 wishes Ronnie clear sailing and the best of luck. Lacrosse, 2, 3, 4, Co-Captain Lacrosse 4, Bridgewater Cadet Officer KG. Marine Engineering It was no surprise to any of us when Ken emerged with the big four upperjob year, with the exception of the chief. K.G. proved himself capable, however, and his leadership will always be remembered. Originally a L.I. Grossman, but now a more refined Rebel, he has had him- self admitted to Mercy Hospital occasionally for a little T.L.C. from his favorite nurse. We ' re not quite sure where Ken is headed at this point, but we are sure he ' ll be honking away at whatever he chooses as his vocation. Best Wishes to one of the best!

Ed will always be remembered for his personality, sense of humor, and that great moustache he ' s been sporting for the past couple of years. We ' ll probably never forget the day E.J. tried a new invention for stopping leaking boiler tubes and pumped cement into the boilers while we were at sea. The chief didn ' t think it was such a great idea, and things came to a screeching halt. We wish Ed all the best and much happiness in the future. Lacrosse 2, 3, 4, Intramurals, NATO Cruise, Cadet Officer, Band 52 MICHAELTHOMAS BROWN Temahegan Avenue Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts BROWNIE Marine Transportation Mike came to Maritime from another microcasm which we came to know as the island. He has always had a story about his wild home and all his seagull friends. Brownie, also known as skinny mate, tried like hell that last night in Liverpool, but to no avail. A true friend and shipmate, he always had a cup of coffee and a good word for us all. We know M.T. will do well and can rest assured that he ' ll get back to Australia to take a picture of that McDonald ' s for us. Best of luck to the best of shipmates. Cadet Officer, Circle K, Intramurals JEFFREY PHILIP BURNS 85 Old Country Way Weymouth, Massachusetts BUNKY ' Marine Engineering Bunky easily adapted himself to our class and was wel- comed with open arms after joining Maritime ' s only fra- ternity organization. Phi Re Kappa Tread. Although he has often been accused of being sleezy, no one can really be sure, as Bunky was too sly to be caught being a sleeze. Upperjob year Bunky settled down to pass his coas- ties, although he did take time out to read a few of his fas- cinating paperback books. We know Jeff is headed for big things, and we wish him well. Canal Bridge Club, Horizontal Club, Phi Re Kappa Tread 53 ANTHONY ANDREW CAVALIER Sheffield House Sheffield, Massachusetts GUHMBA Marine Transportation Tony will always be remembered as quiet. It took us nearly a month youngie year before we realized he was one of us ! Tony likes things big: he doesn ' t care what the rest of her looks like though. Perhaps Guhmba will best be remembered for his end- less supply of jokes and swivel hips. If you ' re ever steaming up the hudson and hear Strawberries! look close because Tony is probably around. Best of luck to the greatest paison this side of the Atlantic! Wrestling, Football, Intramurals PAULCIABURRI 484 Hillman Street New Bedford, Massachusetts GEE Marine Engineering New Bedford ' s representative to Maritime could usually be found polishing his shoes or brass during youngie year, sweating out the next inspection. The following three years Gee spent in the pit and became such a stud snipe he earned the title Gee Gasket . Also proficient at the ancient art of K-Aing, Gee got 3 self-appointed stripes. Also found to be the class pistonhead, the Gee was soon recruited by all to diagnose and remedy the maladies of the junks we called cars. We all know that Paul will be a successful engineer, as he ' s too stubborn to be otherwise. Good luck Geeeeee! littee. Cruise Committee, Cadet Color Guard, Food Com Officer, Charley ' s Bunch CHIEFY Marine Engineering Ed arrived that fateful July sixth in style, namely a slightly more than used MGA. By the end of our first quarter youngie year we were all aware that Ed had come to MM A for his chief ' s license, not a mere third assistant ' s. Now, six cars, two motorcycles, a pick-up truck, and one skateboard later, Ed feels he is a bona-fide engineer. I doubt the chief will ever forget our upperjobs gently screaming: Where is that ! ? E. Clair?! Perhaps Ed ' s fondest memory of Maritime will be from our last cruise when he was serving his initiation to the Horizontal Club and was treated to a rousing chorus of Scotch Drops are Falling on My Pad. Best wishes to you, Ed, from all of us. Cadet Officer (self-appointed).

It didn ' t take long for him to establish himself as a fearless member of our class, and he was soon avoided by all but the most grue- some upperjobs. Along with Don came many new ideas, the most memorable of which is the Clarkifold . This idea revolutionized the look of Maritime uniforms. A dazzling athlete in the true sense, Don terrorized the Arena oil field, and in better times, the gym. Never to have the wool pulled over his eyes or the hay out of his mouth, Don earned the name Mule , but we promised not to mention that. Good luck in your future endeavors, Don, and we all wish you fair winds and following seas. Intramurals, Band, Cadet Officer 55 KOOKS Marine Engineering It didn ' t take any of his classmates long to figure out that Deals the Second had arrived at the academy, follow- ing in the wake of his brother. There is no need to recount any of his adventures, except maybe the time he picked up Gomez, or was it the other way around. He is most famous however, for the Millis Express. It came about at a time when most railroads were going bankrupt. Business was so good that two trips a week were sometimes necessary. On arrival back at the room the next day, he could be heard saying, Who put these roaches in my ash tray? We ' ll always remember him as a fine engineer and classmate and wish him the best of luck in whatever he pursues.

He proved his desire to become an all around seaman by frequenting the engine room during the cruise, where he was welcomed with open valves. Martin will probably end up the homesteader on some break-bulk carrier running between The Mooring and Newton. As long as he has his pack of Parliaments, cup o ' cowfee and bottle of C.C., we ' re sure he ' ll be happy on anybody ' s boat. Good Luck, Bud. Drama Club, Cadet Officer, Nav.

Our belief was that he came to avoid the draft, but as things turned out, he didn ' t avoid it after all. To save himself from the University of Da Nang, Steve formed his own private N.O.T.C. Program. This is what led to the Squeak ' s quotable quote: Up the housepipe for a com- mission, MMA for a license . YA-YA ' S!! If someday you hear a high pitched noise from your turbine, make sure the Squeak isn ' t stuck in a nozzle. We wish him our best.

If you don ' t believe it, just ask to see his socks , I mean his stars, his other claim to fame. When captain of the hockey team, Mark was known as a heavy hitter, but did most of his scoring off the ice.

At first Frank didn ' t seem to belong at MMA because of his distinguished mannerisms and multi-million word vocabulary, but he soon adapted, and even added a few words unique to our institution to his dictionary. The Buhda ' s mind will never go stale, as he is always dreaming up something. Frank plans to sail forever, with the merchies when he ' s working, and on his custom built yacht when vacationing.

Or how about the day Torch was helping the bosun burn the poop deck house off the ship and tried to dispose of his leg at the same time. One thing for sure, there will be a considerable saving in the academy ' s water bill when the Showerman leaves. We wish Emilio the best of luck and hope the engineers on his ship can supply him with enough hot water and acete- lene torches. Swimming, Cadet Officer, Intramurals 62 J.J.

That dream was shattered within minutes of his arrival, however, and Beaver knew he was in for some rough seas. Equipped with Wally ' s razor (complete with cardboard blades), Steve prepared to ride out the weather.

Many of these cadets dislike fish so they decided to make it a youngie and doom it to a life of endless roaming in the bilges of the Old Bay State. When the upperjobs departed, something was lost in the transition and this creature of the sea became known as a brown fish . Jim became known as quite a ladies man, and had to resort to grubby al and deckplate brushes to remove the traces of his first love. Future romances proved much cleaner, as they were carried on via a porthole. Seriously though, we will all miss our favorite air ejector and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Occasionally Gag escaped Maritime to spend a wonderful week-end with K.O. Mainville in Worcester, or a night on the town with Crem. When on board ship as youngies we often heard a strange GALNNK emit from Marc ' s comfortable pad in cozy corner. Dorm life brought Gag to 3rd Co. with the Big Buck.

Lou spent many nights working out at Char- ley ' s Place where he could always be found under one of the tables.

During his brief stay here at the academy Paul was most likely to be found on the fourth floor of any company where he held many raffles with exquisite prizes as any youngie will attest to. Paul was a firm believer in test formations and played a non-active role as pivot man. Deals is a distinguished member of the warmest of Greek frats, Phi Re Kappa Tread.

Most of the class still can ' t believe that Howdy kept quiet for three straight days, but that porthole dropping on his head probably ex- plains it. While at MMA he excelled in hamburgers, face rakes, and locking Navsci instructors in broom closets. Griff also distinguished himself as the only third job to receive a skinner (from his own classmates), which was the last time he said N.B. without thinking about it.

At times, Mark can become confusing because few minds work the way his does. Mark claims all his girlfriends are just nice kids trying to get a head.

Jack has done a lot for the class, and is a sort of unsung hero in that respect We often wondered why Jack went deck, as he seemed like such a natural for the pit , but Maritime has always been full of mysteries. Best of luck to you. Jack, you ' ll be an asset to any shipping company. Student Government, Class Officer, Intramurals, Sailing Club JOHN EDWARD McCABE 83 Main Street Blackstone, Massachusetts ROCKETS Marine Transportation MICHAEL HUGH McCABE 45 Alice Road Raynham, Massachusetts Mike retired from General Dynamics and came to Mari- time in the family old school tradition only to become a student just passing through. Aside from the wife and the ordinary, Mike came to class to break up the week. If you want to know anything, anytime, anyplace, especially California, ask Mike. He says he has a good thing going, but no one has figured out what it is yet. Mike wants to start as Chief Mate and work his way up. but we know we ' ll probably be seeing him back at Maritime someday. Honor Guard 1, Sailing Club 1. Harvard Univ. 3, Bunny Div., Otis Marauders Marine Engineering Paul is Southie ' s contribution to the cadet battalion, and it wasn ' t long before we knew that they had sent us their finest. You could always tell when Paul had a night on the town, as your newspaper was delivered pretty late the next day. It will be a while before Maritime forgets that PJ was here, and a longer while before a certain company officer forgets him. A true friend and good natured kid, we hope Paul does well and know he probably will.

Who can ever forget the Blue Bomber and all its contraptions; if it could be jury-rigged, Mac could do it. Always friendly, when he was awake, Paul often relaxed with a good game of pool or a TV set. Studying was a word Paul deleted from his dictionary, although somehow he always came through. We ' ll probably see Paul out at sea, sleeping in his anti-sea sick position. Best wishes, Paul, and we ' ll catch you in New Hampshire.

Worm served as an Army Corps junior engineer officer his third job year and has decided the army will have to get along without his services. After cruising with worm we ' ve decided to nominate him to the D.J. Walsh seasick squad. Hey Hank, are you going to curve the test? . . . Yeah, I ' ll curve it right in your face!

Mulva also brought about a thousand nick-names, a white vehicle he dared to call a car, and a body that was constantly begging to be beat up on. His biggest attribute was his winning Irish smile, that was a great comfort to many of us at times, or at the very least, something to laugh about. We never will know what Grindle was saying to his good friend Inspector Smith, during the coasties, will we? In closing we ' d like to say in all sincerity Good-Bye and best wishes to Grindle, Fluffy, Bones, Jack, Mul, Mulva, Danny G., Thunder Thigh, and last but not least Ship Grindle.

John Morgan inadvertantly got his kangaroo court post- poned, and when he sleezed out of that, the Roach knew how much fun raising hell could be. One dead seagull, a frozen baloney, and a shower sandle full of foot powder brought Jerry on his youngie cruise and his many new friends in the F.B.I. Jerry found himself restricted several times during his stay at Maritime, but he ' s smoothed out a lot since, and we wish him smooth sailing as well. President Port Canaveral Auto Assoc., Intramurals, Haze Div., Rifle and Pistol Club, B.B. Fan Club 83 Marine Engineering Carl arrived with the rest of us in July, 1971, but no one has ever seen much of him since. He lives on Taylor ' s point just like the rest of us, but I think his address is different. Over the years Carl has proven his ability as an engineer and pool shark, and we know he ' ll make out just fine. We think there are wedding bells in his not too distant future if they haven ' t already rung, and we wish him all the best. Commuter Student CARL JOHN NEVILLE 29 Hillside Avenue Cohasset, Massachusetts BAUER Marine Engineering THOMAS JOSEPH NOONAN, JR. 232 Pa Kachoag Road Auburn, Massachusetts On July 6, 1971, the Class of ' 75 was blessed by the arrival of its soon to be 1 class investigator. T.J. will long be remembered for his famous beer drinking contest with Ben the bonerack Zaida; which was held in 5 hold during a hurricane, followed by a gladiator fight under strobe lights and sadistic upperjob eyes. T.J. has distinguished himself among the chosen few as the Purple Monster. His voice was often heard whenever a caper was thought up and his services willingly volunteered. A firm believer in the ' none a day program, T.J. had great feeling for the mysteries of Navsci. The class of ' 75 wishes T.J. all the best; and hope he finds whoever Ralph was as he leaned over the rail of the old Bay State staring at the rough seas of our youngie cruise. Band, Intramurals, Canal Bridge Party, Rack Div. zontal Club Hori- 84 OLDIE Marine Transportation Carl joined our class after joining that elite organization known as Phi Re Kappa Tread , if for no other reason, to prove Oldies are goodies. Although known to few, Carl was the discoverer of Brooklyn Falls and T.V. beer during ship- yard. He proved himself a student despite the pressures of the Academic Load . Oldie learned about cargo carrying early in his career, in the form of girls and six packs. He also proved he could spell as one of the editors of the Bilge Pump. We know Carl will find the sea a smoother place to sail than he did his tenure at the academy. Best Wishes.

Of course, that ' s not to imply that our upperjobs were cowards, they were just a little too smart to fool with John. Little did they know that he is one of the most good natured people we have come across at Maritime, and is always up for a good time. Chico ' s personality and ability will carry him just fine, so we ' ll just say keep on truckin to him. Intramurals, Canal Bridge Club 85 STEPHEN DENNIS RADZIK 24 Alpheus Road Roslindale, Massachusetts •Z-MAN Marine Engineering One thing that can certainly be said for Steve is that he ' s consistent. Throughout his years here at MMA he ' s had at least ten hours of sleep daily and been known to be ex- tremely sleezy. In spite of his magnetic attraction to his pad, Steve was very much a part of the class during his waking hours, and has been through it all without ever losing his sense of humor. The class of ' 75 wishes Steve the best, and know the Z-Man will be shipping with the company that provides the most comfortable racks. Bank, Intramurals, Ski-Club, Commencement Committee. SCOTTWAYNE ROBINSON 74 Pleasant Street Harwichport, Massachusetts SCOTTY Marine Engineering Scotty will be remembered as one of the few proud recipients of the Alfred Arena Award for Engineering Excellence , although he would probably prefer that we forget. Taking the award as a feather in his hat, Scott has proved himself a good engineer and classmate and is proud to be a member of the black gang of ' 75. Always a good word for everyone, we ' re sure Scotty will do well in his future and we wish him good luck and smooth sailing. Wrestling, Bank, Intramurals, NCO Club Marine Transportation Kenny has distinguished himself as a good seaman and concerned classmate while here at the academy. Among his many accomplishments, he has been awarded the Coach Crusher Water Safety Award for his heroic abilities in rescuing wayward seamen. Unfortunately while winning the previously mentioned award, he blew all chances at obtaining recognition in the field of Marine Inspection and ability to outfit a seaworthy craft. The Class of ' 75 wishes Ken the best of luck and smoothest sailing.

When we first met Dave it was Mr. Rolph Sir . little did we know he was later to become Rolphie, our classmate. Although Lee Marvin has been mistaken for him, Little Loaf is not under contract with any major Hollywood Studios, he hopes to be under contract with a shipping line. We will always remember Dave on watch as being about as cool, calm, and collective as a pan of popping corn. The loss of the Class of ' 74 was the gain of the Class of ' 75. Good luck, Dave in whatever you do, be it acting or shipping. Sailing Club, Phi Re Kappa Tread, Cadet Officer 87 FACE ' Marine Engineering Our first day as youngies a jacked-up Ford Falcon convertible pulled up to MMA and out stepped Billerlca ' s contribution to the cadet battalion, Joe Santa Face. It didn ' t take us long to realize that Joe wasn ' t ' Certified Gas Free ' , but we adapted. Face was always quite a charmer and leads an active lovelife (usually two or three at a time). If you ' re ever looking for Joe remember that wherever he goes the Falcon follows, usually to the nearest singles club. Good luck and smooth sailing to a good friend and shipmate. Wrestling, Intramurals 11 JOSEPH RAPHAEL SANTA FE III 20 Nolte Road Billerica, Massachusetts AL Marine Transportation Al comes to us from a family of merchies, and it appears, he will uphold the tradition. Since Al ' s home town is so far from MMA, he adopted Winthrop as an auxiliary resi- dence. He ' s had no trouble blending in with the crew from Sickness Village and has even added some to it. While here, Al has proven himself a capable seaman, in spite of what the Bum says. We know he ' ll go far, and chances are we ' ll see him sailing chief mate on an Exxon tanker before long. Intramurals, Cross Country, Cadet Officer ALBERT MICHAEL SCARA, JR. 5 First Avenue Springlake, New Jersey SCHMITTY Marine Engineering After settling here at the MMA seaman ' s resort, Mike was very tempted to leave us, but he never did seem to get around to it. As the years went by, he learned to live with the establishment, but with the utmost of transpar- ency. His successful techniques of dodging Big Al and the boys will surely be of use to him in the future. When Schmitty made it to his upperjob year he decided he would stay till the end and buckled down to pass his coasties. We wish him luck in the future and know that when he returns to society no one will ever know he was here. Soccer, Wrestling, Scuba Club, Band MICHAEL WAYNE SCHMITT 186 Belmont Road West Harwich, Massachusetts PETER RICHARDSON SIEFERT 41 Court Road Winthrop, Massachusetts SOOT- Marine Engineering Peter charmed his way into Maritime with the rest of us back in July ?!, 1971 and spent most of remaining years here wondering why the hell he came at all. A true athlete and noble leader of any brawl that broke out, be it on the athletic field or elsewhere. His frequent parties will not soon be forgotten, nor will the sickness of these extravaganzas, as anyone who attended will attest. Pete knows how to live and have a good time, but we ' ll wish him luck and hope he gets that white corvette and all those broads. Basketball 1, Football 2, Intramurals, self-appointed Intra- mural Captain, Sailing Club 2, 3, Bridge Club 89 KENNY Marine Engineering By right. Ken should have made the 74 yearbook, but a small misunderstanding in New York forced him into the ranks of Phi Re Kappa Tread. He recovered from this set- back and became a welcomed member of our class. Al- though many of our class have expressed their bitterness about the way Ken used to treat us when he was an upper- job, he has shown that there are no hard feelings by con- tinuing to treat us as if he was still an upperjob. Seriously though. Ken has been accepted by us all as a good friend and shipmate and we wish him the very best of everything. Phi Re Kappa Tread KENNETH MacMURRAY SMITH Charlton Road East Brookfield, Massachusetts GARDINER E. SMITH III 3344 Gallows Road Falls Church, Virginia GERD ' Marine Engineering Being one of the 3% isn ' t as easy as one might think. It isn ' t all Zap sheets and mast formations; but a basic new school attitude that only a member of the elite Spol- sino Wing like Gerd could have. During his first year on Taylor ' s Point he showed almost an unsurpassed scholastic ability, after that it was all up- hill. Drilling through his senior year Silversmith managed to take time out to organize steak feasts or chase mem- bers of the fairer sex and then tell she stories . If he keeps this up, we may see him drop anchor anywhere from Maine to Sweden. Best of kick to you. Horizontal Club, Sailing Club, Century Club, Spolsino Wing 90 MARK ' Marine Engineering Mark has been a true Spolsino Wing member, one of the remaining six out of the original thirteen to survive the boot. Always serious about the engineering aspects of the academy and more old school than new, being squared away and taking baby sitters seriously just wasn ' t his style. He will always be remembered as a cadet with a hunger for knowledge and Maritime chow, being one of the few cadets who could eat three square meals for lunch. The school has made a lot of us brothers for life, and Smith and Smith is a perfect example. Best wishes from all of us, Mark. Century Club, Sailing Club, Intramurals, Spolsino Wing MARK COLEMAN SMITH 3 Pierce Road South Windsor, Connecticut ' SWEEP OAR Marine Transportation STEPHEN SMITH 328 Hood Street Fall River, Massachusetts Steve came to us in a glass full of flaming fluid, which we later discovered was tequila. Our troubled economy is not worrying Steve, as he knows his old job with the Fumble Oil Co. will be there when he graduates. Among his cruise achievements, Steve stood the famous Horrendo Watch and found out it ' s a long way from the docks of Miami to the Sea Aquarium as he and Terry burned up some leather getting there. Also known throughout Newport, he was mistaken for a permanent fixture at the Datum Club. M.T. will always be grateful to Steve for his free tutoring service, and ear shattering gum snapping. Best wishes to a good shipmate. Bike Club Treasurer, Touring Chairman 72-74, Cadet Officer I Marine Engineering Cheeks will long be remembered as one of the men who brought football back to Maritime. Although never publicly cited, he could always be seen fighting his way back to the line of scrimmage. A true cadet officer, Tom spent most of his free time making himself available to the youngies to straighten out any problems they may have had. (while looking at pictures of Barbie) To be known as one of the premier heart punchers. Cheeks will probably be found at a local generating station. Football, Intramurals, Baseball, Bridge Club, Rack Div., Cadet Officer, Who ' s Who THOMAS ARTHUR ST. PIERRE 20 Green Street Salem, Massachusetts WETBACK Marine Engineering DENIS R. ST. JEAN 106 Minot Street Falmouth, Massachusetts Denis will probably be remembered as the little man with the big mouth. As upperjob platoon leader, he found taking check muster at formation a very easy task, as there was always perfect attendance! Upperjob year Denis proved he wasn ' t afraid of heights by hanging out the window of the third floor, much to his own amazement. Always up for a party, we ' ve all had a few laughs with him, and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Cadet Officer, Lacrosse, Intramurals, MMA SA 92 TASS Marine Engineering No one is really sure why Tass came to Maritime, but we suspect it is so he could learn to be a more proficient Tuna fisherman. A true seaman, he has skippered boats that were with more equipment than the academy ' s train- ing ship! Jim has done a lot for the school, and we ' ll always remember all the deals he pulled for us with the Fortune- seeker , especially the steak and egg breakfasts Coasties week. We know if Jim decides not to ship, they ' ll always be a position available for him in a certain restaurant business. Best wishes, Jim. Cadet Officer, Food Committee, Cruise Committee, Hori- zontal Club, CO.

The ski season brought many visitors from MMA to his home, and I ' m sure he began wondering if he was running a lodge at times. Youngie cruise we saw Ralph become Harvey ' s personal chauffeur which turned out to be another of Maritime ' s many deals. Upperjob year Ralph and Bunky settled down to tackle the coasties, much to the surprise of all. We know he ' ll make out fine but wish him luck anyways. Castine Caper Committee, Sailing Club, Intramurals 93 DENNIS JOSEPH TWOMEY 11 Hilda Road Lynn, Massachusetts SPACE TOOM Marine Engineering Dennis arrived in a package along with the Pinhead, and became an instant third job. Although he receives much harassment about missing his youngie year, we ' re sure he would have made it with the best of us. We ' ve become very fond of our high on life friend over the years, and he ' s proved himself a worthy member of our class. If nothing else, Dennis has certainly learned to delegate his authority. Best of luck shipping, Dennis, we know you ' ll do well. Intramurals, Instant Third Job INjiTAKnTmRO-TOQ Ml K 94 Marine Engineering Another of Quincy ' s finest. Bill has proven himself an asset to any institution, especially the Spolsino Wing. Al- though Bill hasn ' t played any varsity sports, he is an active athlete, having participated in all intramural activities. He has shown his ability as an engineer and a student while here. Upperjob cruise Bill decided to ship out with the merchies and found the experience promising. I know we ' ll be seeing more of him as he sails for one of the oil companies. Sailing Club, Yearbook Staff, Intramurals, Spolsino Wing WILLIAM FRANCIS VOGEL, JR. 17 Hilda Street Quincy, Massachusetts JIM Marine Transportation JAMES HOWARD WAHL III 8 Iroquois Drive Clinton, Connecticut Jim has had no major problems making it through Mari- time, the only exceptions being his affinity for crutches and his ability to miss liberty launches. He has proven himself a fearless seaman while at MMA, as he has already gone down with one ship; unfortunately his wine bottles were not C.G. approved, and neither was his swimming tech- niques. Luckily for the class we didn ' t lose Jim, and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Intramurals, Soccer, Cadet Officer 95 ■WILBUR Marine Transportation Out of the entire deckie class. Wilbur is probably the only one with a little fuel oil in his blood; probably due to his menagerie of motorcycles, cars, and various other vehicles. Jack has probably had a female to go with every means of transportation he ' s had over the last four years too. If Jack doesn ' t open a used car lot, we ' re sure he ' ll be out on the high seas somewhere, and we wish him all the best. Soccer, Wrestling, Intramurals, Cadet Officer JONATHAN EVAN WARD 1 50 Buckskin Path Centerville, Massachusetts Marine Engineering Early in life Dutch decided to go to sea, so he began his career at MMA. The academy may never recover. Dutch has many fine qualities (just ask him. he ' ll tell you). Al- though he is constantly on report for his long sideburns, Dutch refuses to cut them. Luca and Roach allowed his presence, and even sustained living with him. Seriously though, Dutch is a great fella, liked by all the deckies and a few engineers!

Bay Boy Scouts, having been an Eagle Scout himself. He has always loved the sea, whether he be above the waves in his kayak or below them skin diving (but never alone). Rick could often be seen talking to fish , especially during academy recruiting drives. At sea on the Bay State Rick demonstrated his patriotism by holding colors while underway. We hope Richard always cuts a smooth wake whether he be in his kayak or cruising with nuclear power. Newspaper Staff, Cross Country, Scuba Club, Rifle Team, Cadet Officer, Nav.

Although he has been rather scarce upperjob year, John has attended all our meetings , and even held a few of his own. Best wishes to a good friend who will probably ship for at least twenty years. MMASA, Intramurals 97 •JOE ' Marine Engineering For every mile Joe ran, he prayed for another hair to populate his ever growing forehead for those cold mornings racing tankers up and down Cape Cod Canal. Joe ' s only wish is for a magic carpet to float inconspicuously back to Maritime from Wheaton on Monday mornings. We ' ll probably remember Joe standing in the pool room, cue stick in hand, saying: like to increase your financial standings?

Well Wayne, we don ' t care if your brother owns Wise potato chips. No, we guess we don ' t remember! ! I If Wayne was to be found while we were underway, it was best to check the heads where he spent many long hours offering his dinner to the God of Nausea . When Brian cried we ain ' t got no papers, Wayne could always pull through with a pipe or two, or three or four or five! We all wish our famous party organizer the best of luck and know we ' ll be hearing from him when it comes time to have a class reunion. V.P.

He will probably be the only licensed mate that specializes in navigating trans-tennis court. In any event Joe will be the most nautically inclined tennis pro the sport has ever seen. Who knows what kind of racket the salty lobster will come up with? Will he serve a PB J from the bridge and see if it returns? (Maritime sangies bounce) or will he take an altitude of a rising body (one Wilson special) and wonder if the outline would make a good horizon? Is there a limbo?

It must be gratifying to the 1st class to see an athletic program increase from two varsity sports to a program of eight intercollegiate activities. Another first for the Academy was the acceptance in- to the N C A A, and the E C. A C. with a combination of an outstanding intramural program and a growing varsity unit, the class of 75 can be proud of their participation in this endeavor. My role as Athletic Director, Coach and Teacher of Physical Education leave me with many fond memories. Many of you partici- pated in the varsity and intramural program, as 4th and 3rd class members, you will, I ' m sure, not forget the trying times the Athletic Department witnessed, prior to completion of the athletic facilities. The comment I ' m famous for Wait until I get my gym will probably be remembered by this Class. I will remember each and everyone of you and the Contribution this class has made to the Athletic program. May I convey my best wishes in all your endeavors and smooth sailing. Sincerely, Bernie Gilmetti Director of Athletics FOOTBALL The 1974 Football Season found the young Bucca- neer Griders complete members of the New England Football Conference. The M M. A. Griders were the youngest team in the conference, and perhaps faced the toughest competition in football that the Academy has ever faced. Along with our entrance into a new conference, we also became full members of the N C.A A and the E.C.A.C. The 1974 record was not an impressive one, for the Buccaneers ended up with 2 wins and 7 losses. How- ever it was felt throughout the conference that the young Buccaneers football team had gained the respect of many of the established teams and certainly would be a team to contend with in the future. The highlight of the season was the 3-0 defeat of Maine Maritime, a team which soundly defeated the Buccaneers the previous year by a score of 28-0. At the close of the season 5 trophies were awarded to players who has excelled during the course of the season. The most valuable offensive back — Charles Hill, most valuable offensive line — David Dias, most valuable defensive back — Ron Butterfield, most valu- able defensive lineman — Tom Latronic, and most improved - Kevin O ' Connell.

While the 5-5-1 record does not appear impressive, the opposition coaches told Head Coach Ron Smith and his assistant, Jessie DeMello, that MMA would be one of the teams to beat in 1 975. After a slow start, including an opening 6-4 loss to Fitchburg, the team jelled after the S.M.U. game and went on to win or tie five of the last seven games. Our two losses during this stretch were to Boston State (2-1) and Framingham State (3-2). But it also included our most significant victory in three years: a 2-1 decision over North Adams State. Always considered a contender for the State College Championship, the Mohawks were highly favored. MMA, however, played its best game in three years and outplayed North Adams from the start of the game. When one realizes that North Adams defeated Westfield State, which is ranked 10 in New Eng- land, the importance of the victory is easy to discern. With all but two lettermen return- ing next year and some talented fourth classmen expected in 1975, both coaches feel that MMA will be in contention for the State College Championship next season.

This year ' s Buccaneer squad faced unquestionably the most ambitious schedule ever undertaken by any academy athletic team. Some fan? ques- tioned coach Hexter ' s sanity but his only reply was that you only improve by wrestling the best. Sacrificed are the great won-loss records of the past two years, but gained is the prestige of competing with such fine schools as West Point, Harvard, Nebraska, and Clarion.

Although we are staves to this custom, we wish to express our conviction that this position in no way reflects our sincere appreciation to those who made this book possible through their generous support. From the smallest contribution in the patrons section, to the full page ads, each has given what he could, and in the agregate, this generosity has made the 1975 MUSTER possible. Our sincere thanks to one and all.

The clock ' s superbly designed eight-day, eleven jewel movement strikes the traditional Ship ' s Bells and can be depended upon for precise accuracy through years of use. The case is solid brass. Dial sizes range from 3% to 8V2 . A barometer that matches the Ship ' s Bell in both design and accuracy is also available.
