THE MISSION: To Become a Licensed Officer in The U.S. Merchant Marine To Earn a Degree of Bachelor of Sci- ence in Nautical Science or in Marine and Electrical Engineering To Obtain a Commission as Ensign In The U.S. Naval Reserve CONTENTS: Dedication 16 Faculty and Administration 17 Activities 34 Athletics 80 Seniors 110 Cruises 145 Advertisements 167 President ' s Message There is a certain sameness to yearbook messages which immediately causes the reader to question the sincerity of the writer. In this, my last formal communication with the cadets of the Class of 1978, I hope, above all else, that you will believe that these final thoughts are genuine. Like other graduating classes of the 70 ' s, you have attended the Academy during difficult years of growth and change. You have been required to master a sophisticated technical degree program, while at the same time you have had to acquire the necessary professional skills to prepare for your careers as licensed merchant marine officers. Above and beyond this, however, you have had to concern yourselves with the delicate problem of establishing within a military format a cadet living style for our new and modern dining hal 1 -dormitory complex in an atmosphere which contrasts sharply with the Spartan conditions which prevailed for the cadets who formerly lived year-round aboard the schoolships. The confined living arrangements and the tight military control of the schoolship era made it fairly easy to effect proper military standards of appearance and conduct. With our present land campus facilities, however, it is something else again to attain those standards which characterize professionalism and s e 1 f -d i s c ipl i n e . It is my considered judgement that the Class of 1978 has made more progress toward achieving this significant goal than any other First Class during my seven years as President of your Academy . You began your first class year in an angry mood. First, you endured a long delayed shipyard overhaul period which resulted eventually in a loss of your summer vacation. Then, almost to a man, you became understandably upset with my decision to move your license examination time to its traditional and later place in our academic year. In spite of these disappointments, your class has remained reasonable and responsible throughout its leadership year and has demonstrated unusual maturity in conduct and at t itude . You will read these lines for the first time when you receive your yearbooks sometime next fall. You will perhaps read them for a second time twenty-five years from now when you prepare for your twenty-fifth reunion celebration. When you first read them next fall I hope you will be pleased to learn that I think you have done well by this Academy. When you read them on the second occasion twenty-five years from now, I hope that you will be able to say convincingly that your old school did well by you. Good bye, good luck and may God bless each and every one of you. v jk it 3 Lee Harrington Rear Admiral, USMS President 15 The Members Of The Senior Class Dedicate The 78 Muster To The Memory Of 7 o H H r 1 1.

Maritime Bucs in the football limelight. These men were the foundation of a program which had grown to championship quality under the direction of head Ruggeri. It had not always been easy. In their freshman and sophomore years the losses outnumbered the victories. But they never became a beaten team. They believed in themselves and the program. It was this winning attitude that helped propell them to the conference title in 1977. The heros were many; seven of them were all conference selections. They included tri-captains Ron Butterfield, Mike Fauvell and Marc Pa- lombo along with John Meader, Pat Forbes, Don Keefe, Dan McGuiggan, and Kevin Doherty. The championship was a total effort, brought by about the contributions of many. The season was highlighted by many hard fought victories, espe- cially the one over arch-rival Maine Maritime which also clinched the conference Champion- ship. In the final game of the year senior Ron But- terfield became the first player in M.M.A. histo- ry to have his jersey retired. Number 44 will be placed in the Alumni Gymnasium trophy case as a tribute to his four time all conference selection. i After four years we finally did it!!!!! The Varsity Tennis Team completed its fall season of in- tercollegiate competition with a disappointing (0-8) record. In all, a total of fifteen MMA cadets, ranging from First Classman and Captain Phil Zi- minsky to a number of promis- ing youngies participated in the competition. Despite the disappointing team record, a number of players performed well in individual matches against opponents in the MSCAC tennis Conference. Singles players Paul Bra- man, Phil Ziminsky, Don Mur- phy, Paul Wei, and Barrett Keating played steadily for the Bucs, with Wei and Murphy having the best records. In doubles play the teams of Phil Ziminsky and Paul Braman, Toby Kitchner and Paul Place, and Dan Hosey and Steve Kanchuga had some impres- sive victories against other teams. The team of Kitchner and Place did particularly well by winning three of their matches, while losing only to the toughest teams in the con- ference by close scores. Except for Ziminsky, MMA ' s cadre of players with the experience of 1977 behind them will be back next season. SOCCER Bridgewater Coast Guard Salem State Curry College Westfield Fitchburg Worcester Boston State North Adams Framingham MMA MMA 0 MMA 0 MMA 5 MMA 0 MMA 0 MMA i MMA 3 MMA 0 MMA 0 BASKETBALL Despite a disappointing sea- son record (4-22) the MMA varsity cagers save a great deal of improvment over previous years. Following heartbreaking losses to Fitchburg State and Suffolk Universty the Bugs ap- peared in their first ever tour- nament, the Whaler Invita- tional Tournament. MMA won the opener against host Connecticut College only to lose to Coast Guard in the fin- als. Freshman Mark Dumais was named Tournament M.V.P. After the Christmas Recess the Bucs went into a slump that saw them lose 13 games by 6 or less points. Late season victories over Curry College, North Adams State and West- field State were the highlight of the season. Senior Capain Pat Hanlon was named the M.V.P. for the 1977-78 season. Hanlon com- pleted his four years as a varsi- ty starter and leaves as the all time leading scorer and re- bounder in MMA Basketball History. Other honors award- ed to Hanlon over his four years included M.S.A.C. All Conference first team selec- tion. All New England honor- able mention and E.C.A.C. player of the week (twice). The only other senior on the squad, Jim Ridge, was a three year varsity player who contributed a great deal both on and off the floor. All of the cagers will be back next season with the ex- ception of Hanlon and Ridge who will be sorely missed. HOCKEY you can ' t go around them go through them The 1978 varsity hockey team continued to compete with an unreasonable lack of funds and support, but com- piled an overall record of 7 wins and 17 losses this season. Amid an expanded 24 game schedule and stiffer league op- ponents this slate of setbacks isn ' t totally reflective of the at- titude denoted regularly by some. Many factors contribute to the demise of a program. As so often is the case the poten- tial for an excellent program exists, but the dedication and guidance that coincide with an expanding hockey program haven ' t been fullfilled. Hopefully basic need will be met and valuable lessons learned by all concerned. Un- derclassmen Dan Davis, Charles Theaibeault, John Palm, and Tom and Jim Whe- ble will be returning as exper- ienced lettermen along with this seasons tough and wiry freshmen, who showed great poise and spirit under difficult and depressing situations. A full commitment to MMA hockey by all concerned is needed to return hockey here at the school back to respect- ability. WRESTLING It was a rebuilding year for the Mass. Maritime grapplers as many of this years varsity starters were freshmen. Led by Co-Cap- tains Mike Fauvell and Tom La- tronica, the Buc ' s fought to an 8- 8 dual meet record. Considering the toughness of the schedule, which included eight nationally ranked teams, the cadets fared very well. Injuries took a late season toll and only Scott Depersis, a junior from Endicott, New York, cap- tured a New England Title. This is compared to three champion- ships a year ago. The future looks very bright for the team with all but two of the varsity returning to represent the Buccaneers. They will be looking to improve this year ' s sixth place ranking in New England and fourteenth ranking nationally. With the large number of candidates try- ing out for the team, freshman tryouts had to be held in January. The club was nar- rowed down to twenty-five players in Febru- ary and during the month of March, the club worked-out indoors preparing for its opening game. Prior to the season the young Bucs were not ranked in New England and very little was expected from them. But from the ini- tial week when they were ranked 7 and until the end of the season they remained ranked in New England. It was the first time this had happened at the Acad. The highest the Bucs were ranked was 4 and the lowest 8. Also, mid way thru the sea- son the Bucs were ranked nationally. An- other tremendous accomplishment for the team. The Bucs opened the season against Saint Joseph ' s and rolled to a 7-0 record before losing to M.I.T. on 6 unearned runs. After the loss they won 4 straight, split with Fra- mingham State and won 5 more games. In- cluded in these five wins were victories over 4 ranked Southeastern Massachusetts University and Suffolk University. The re- cord read 16-3 before final exams. With finals and the early ending of school in mid-April, the season, as it had in the previous year, slid downhill. The club went 4-12 during this period and ended up with a 20-15 record and ranked 8 in New Eng- land. The 20 victories were the most ever at the Academy. What-could-have-been never materialized but the best season in the Academy ' s history did. The Buccaneer Baseball program was now recognized as one of the best programs in New England. During the entire year the team received strong leadership from its first classmen, tri- captain Pat Forbes, Tom Campbell, and Ke- vin Honkala. At the conclusion of the sea- son the responsibility for leading the club in 79 was given to tri-captains Mark Bat- tista, Mike Burt and for the 2nd year in a row Ron Schumitz. With a strong veteran team returning in ' 79 the Bucs could be an even stronger team next year. The success of the season is refiected by the number of individual records set, team records set and career records set. SAILING The MMA Yacht Club was established a few years ago with the objectives of operat- ing a cadet sail training pro- gram, participating in intercol- legiate racing, and running a recreational sailing program. Since that time, the club has grown with the aquisition of six more 12 foot dinghys along with a 42 foot ketch and a 36 foot racing sloop, bringing our total fleet to twenty-two boats. The varsity team had a good year in 1977, with the high- light being a clean sweep of the NROTC Northeast Challenge Cup. Of the twelve races, MMA received 10 first places and 2 seconds. Next year the Academy will host this presti- gious race in our own dinghy fleet. The Yacht Club looks for- ward to expanding further with improved facilities and more small craft. 97 ■ INTRAMURALS ARETE Intra-Murals were already popular when we ar- rived and our class was to be no exception. In those dark days when we were maggots Intra-Murals was one of the few things that could possibly be enjoyed. That was to remain the theme of Intra- Murals all during our stay. Surely we were highly competitive but yet all who wished were able to participate, work out and ENJOY! The following is a short chronology of how 78 fared each year. 1974 - 1975 FOOTBALL: We didn ' t do too well. 11 QB ' s in huddles, poor officials and upperclass intimidation prevented us from doing too much. STREET HOCKEY: In Street Hockey we managed to place 2 teams in the playoffs taking 4th place in each division. 41 used a Bernie Burns scorer and Myles Hickey, goalie, combo to make it in. 4A was led by Ronny Andrews. Both teams were eliminated in the quarter finals in the year at the Green Ma- chine. BASKETBALL: 4G got 2nd in its division and 4D made 3rd. 4D was eliminated in the quarterfinals but 4G lasted until the semi-finals, only to bow to the eventual champs. VOLLEYBALL: See FOOTBALL above. SPEEDBALL: This was the first year this sport was played. Ed Henry was the moving force in 4B ' s sec- ond place finish. 41 reached 4th. 41 upset 1st place 3E5 to advance to the final round. 4B lost by a couple in the 1st round. SOFTBALL: We were, indeed, soft and had no play- off entries. INDIVIDUAL SPORTS: We WIPED OUT the upper jobs in Swimming John Clifford came in 2nd in Golf. We were shut down in the Bowling games. Third was our best in Paddleball. John Trahan won the Road Race in Track Field. 4A placed first, 4G third. Wally Alkhaledi won Table Tennis. 3EI Won the cup; 41 finished third overall; 4B ended up in 4th. Angelo Bramucci was in charge of I-M that year. FOOTBALL: 3E3 managed a 4th place finish but as was the case all 4 years we were a first class team won it. STREET HOCKEY: We fielded 6 teams in the league that year and 4 were good enough to make the playoffs. 3E2, led by Paul Feeney, captured 1st piace in its division. 2nd 4th were also grabbed by 3E3 and 3D3. 3E1 managed a 4th place finish in the opposite division. 3E1 upset 3E2 in the quarter finals and was the only team to advance to the semi-finals. In the semi-final round they lost by a goal to eventual champ 2E3, who toppled the Green Machine in the finals. BASKETBALL: Again, 3E2 made a strong showing only to falter in the playoffs. They finished 2nd be- hind a 1st class all star team. They lost in the quarter final round to eventual champ 2E4. The other play- off entry was 3E4, a 4th place finisher. They fared better, upsetting 41, to reach the semis. VOLLEYBALL: 3E1 finished 2nd and 3D3 3rd in league play. 3E1 defeated 3D3 in the semi-final and split its match with 2E3. 2E3 won the match and championship 2-1. SPEEDBALL: Playoff entries 3C1 and 3D1 didn ' t fare too well. 3D7 was clearly outclassed in its match with 2E1. 3E1 lost by 1, after rolling back from an 8 goal deficit, to champ 2E3. SOFTBALL: 3E3 reached the semi-final level in the Round Robin playoffs before dropping out. 3D3 also entered the playoffs. INDIVIDUAL SPORTS SWIMMING: 3E1 and 3D3 entered swimmers in both fall and spring tournaments. HANDBALL: Pat Morgan won the championship. PADDLEBALL: No Luck. WRESTLING: 6 sections entered men into the wrestling tournament. We captured 5 weight classes. PISTOL RIFLE: Jeff Muller finished 3rd in pistol, Tony Fontana 4th. Tony won the Rifie Comp. TABLE TENNIS: Wally Alkhaledi won for the 2nd year. ICE HOCKEY: Brian Aballo ' s team won. B. Burns was high scorer. Section 2F3 won the cup, 3E1 fin- ished 3rd overall with 3D3 fourth. Angelo Buonucci and Dan Pascqualo ran the Intra- Murals. 1976 - 1977 FOOTBALL: 3 sections made the playoffs in foot- ball junior year. 2E4 finished the season in 2nd place in its division and 2D2 finished fourth. 2E2 grabbed the fourth place spot in the opposite division. 2E4 was knocked out in the quarterfinals by 1E2. 2E2 upset lEl, scoring a safety in the last seconds to advance to the semi-finals where they were roughly handled by 1E2. 2D2 fared the best. They finally beat and upset IDl in a game that was won by penetration. They then proceeded to crush 3E5 in the semi-finals. The team to finally fall to 7E2 in a close one. It was the best bid by our class for a champion- ship up to that date. STREET HOCKEY: Tough, ferocious defense and a scrappy offense got 2E4 a 2nd place finish in its division. They were out only playoff entry. Their first game pitted them against 1E3 who they beat by 2 goals. In the semi-final round they went against 3D1, the surprise team that year. 3D1 fell in a 2-1 deci- sion. The final series pitted 2E4 against 1E2. Here their showing was a disappointment, as they went down 2 games to none in the best 2 of 3 series. BASKETBALL: 2 squads made it to the playoffs in basketball. 2E4 made a strong showing during the season, strong enough to capture 1st place honors, but varsity sports emptied the team of most of its leaders and they fell in the 1st round. 2E1 fared much better. They grabbed 1st place in their division after an undefeated season. In the play- offs they continued their winning tradition. In the first round they easily beat wildcard 3E5 with a 15 point difference. Then the team went past a deter- mined 4E squad, when 4E stalled in the 2nd half also by a 10 point margin. The 2 of 3 final series pitted them against a strong 3E5 team. In the first game 3E5 beat them despite the fact 2E1 had held the lead at half-time. 2E1 rebounded back to steal away the second game with only minutes left to tie the series at 1 each. In the final game the teams were tied at the half. 3E5 scored first but it was all downhill for them after a 2E1 romped to a ten point victory and thus became the first championship team for our class. The final team record was 14-1 for a squad that had excellent shooters, and a bench that could hold off the dogs long enough to give the beggars rest when needed. THE ROSTER Greg Oles (top scorer in division) Paul Penney ( 2 scorer in division) George Comiskey ( 5 scorer in division) Pat Forbes B.J. Davis Terry Egan Mike Clement Ron Barber Brian CoUagin VOLLEYBALL: 2E4 ' s playoff hex continued as they got 1st place in the division but bowed out in the finals to 1E3. SPEEDBALL: 4 teams from our class entered this sport and all made the playoffs. 2E1 was knocked out in the quarterfinals. 2D1 was beaten by 2E4, also in the quarterfinals. 2E3 made it to the semi-finals where they were beaten by a goal by 1C3. For 2E4 it was finally winning a crown as they swept all before them, beating 1E3 by 3 in the finals. THE ROSTER Steve Paglierani Dave Chertier Peter Armstrong Carl Herrick Jim Beracewicz Paul Buckley Bruce Smith Rand Billingham Ralph Dasha Brian Ahem Ron Butterfield Mike O ' Brien John Bornbarsier Paul Shilalic Bob Kunkel INDIVIDUAL SPORTS: In the special tournament for a volleyball entry to Schlitz Tournament, a team comprised of DECKIES won. Right on. But in the Volleyball Tourney, as well as in Basketball, our entries were more concerned with consuming the product of our sponsor than winning the games - uh, we fared accordingly. BUMPER POOL was won by 2D2 ' s. Pat Morgan won HANDBALL again. Joe Conway got 2nd place honors in paddleball. Wrestling was won by 2E2 ' s squad; 2E4 took 2nd. 2E4 scored well in Arm-Wrestling - tying for first. Swimming - Due to the way swimming points were tallied, 2E4 was robbed of The Admiral ' s Cup despite a strong showing at 2nd place. 2D1 came in third. The Admiral ' s Cup was won by 1 E3 with 2E4 a close second. Intra-Murals were run by Angelo Brammuci and Ron Barber. Steve Paglierani was appointed I-M council chairman. 102 1977-1978 FOOTBALL We started Intra-Murals senior year by CRUSH- ING underclassmen in football. 3 teams entered the league and all were in the playoffs. 1E3 and IDl got first place honors in their divisions, and 1E2 took second behind THE DECKIES. In the first game George Hill led IDl to an over- whelming 18-0 over an unfortunate group of YOUNGIES. A clutch TD catch by Tom Latronica in the final minutes pulled 1E3 past 1E2 by a score of 9 to 6. In the championship game 1E3 scored only once, but it was just enough to cause the DECKIES to lose in the finals for the second straight year. THE 1E3 ROSTER Bob Allen Russ Perry Bob Maule John Clifford Mike Clement Brian Collagin Terry Egan Tom Latronica This sport proved to be a dis- Ed Church Fred Gallagi Bruce Smith Jeff Nichols Gene Brunelle Don Spiredigliozzi Dick Pierce Myles Hickey STREET HOCKEY appointment. Two teams made the playoffs. 1E2 was undefeated in play, but a forfeit on senior ski week dropped them to second place in their division. 1E4 grabbed fourth place in the same division after a 5 game winning streak. 1E2 was upset in the quarterfinals by eventual champ 3E1, despite good goaltending by an humon- gously riptided knuckle-bloodied score of five to two. 1E4 fared better. Pat Forbes ' hat-trick propelled them past 2D2 in a major upset with a somewhat less humongous score of four to two. The 1E4 squad fell a minute and a half short of advancing to the final round when 4E tied and then won in SUDDEN DEATH by a score of two to one. Paul Feeney scored E4 ' s lone goal. Our class was NEVER able to win a Street Hockey Championship, much to our chagrin. 5 BASKETBALL: Again, a disappointment for our class. Several teams enter the league. None of the teams advanced to the semi-finals. 3E2 was the even- tual champ. VOLLEYBALL: 1E2 was the 1st place finisher over IDl in second. Both teams advanced in the playoffs until 1E2 won the championship. THE VOLLEYBALL ROSTER Steve Paglierani Dave Chartier Pete Armstrong Jim Baracewicz Jim Britell Mike O ' Brien Gary Herendeen Rand Billingham Charlie Hill Ralph Dasha SPEEDBALL: Three teams entered the playoff; from 78: IDl was a 3rd place finisher and then ther was lEl and 1E2. Both of those teams finished firs in their division. IDl fell first to challenger 3E3, then lEl lost its poise in the second half of their match to watch a close match turn to a rout. 1E2 proved to be the strongest of all. Twice, in their first playoff game, they rolled back from 2 goal deficits to gain a 12-11 victory over 3E4. They won a highly DEFENSIVE battle 9-2 over 3E3 to win the championship and fmlly clinch the cup by a good margin. THE SPEEDBALL ROSTER Jim Baracewicz Brian Collagin Charlie Hill Brian Ahern Ron Butterfield Tim Brassil Pete Armstrong Rand Billingham Ralph Dasha Mark Conroy Dave Chartier Mike O ' Brien INDIVIDUAL SPORTS: Pat Morgan must have set a record by winning his third straight handball championship! John Clifford was also a repeat as Paddleball Champ. ARETE. In the 7 mile road race, Whitey Colmer got 2nd place, among a field that included several FIRST CLASS. In the track meet Jim LaRiviere won the shot put and Mike Clement won the hurdles. In Ice Hockey we had 2 teams, neither of which won the championship but they were the BEST! 1E2 won the cup with 1E3 coming in 3rd and 1D7 coming in 4th. Ron Barber and Vic Montanez ran Intra-Murals. 104 Our class awarded Red Ryan a plaque in gratitude for his service to us. That wraps up ' 78 I-M history. It was not the most successful class in terms of winning cups, but Intra- Murals cannot be evaluated simply on that basis. If you evaluated work-outs, fun, competitiveness and the reaction of the brass monkey on the coldest of days that were without a doubt all part of Intra- Murals, then it is evident that they were a success and the monkey smiled despite the pain. It is also evident that they were a success with us. It goes hand in hand that we too, were a success. Perhaps the ancient Greeks had the best word to describe us - ARETE.

' ■ ' ■■A And so it came to pass, the cruise of 75 loomed ahead of us, with all its mysteries and un-certain- ties. A freshman mob looked on as the last group of heathens brought up under the tutelage of the old school. We had progressed through 2 weeks of orientation, 3 quarters of an experimental academic sched- ule, and before us now lay the T.S. Bay State, our home for two months. All our past history as youngies now became inconsequential; only things that were part of living and working on ship concerned us now. The rumors and tales preach- ed to us all during the year were of more interest now. The old saying of Play in the Bay, lose on the cruise , began to take on new meaning. As the cruise date came near, our thoughts continu- ally focused on what was in store for us. Shipyard for our upper jobs apparently was no bargain, (the Night life of Norfolk was not to hospitable!) which added to our woes. Alongside training supposedly meant our indoctrination to the ship board way of life. Standing watches, going to labs, learning and practicing fire fighting and safety rules were really never taken to heart, until the reali- zation of having to survive on ship was made clear. Standing watch usually meant a lengthy 4 hour- 10 mile trek a- cross cold steel decks doing de- tex with the sweet perfume of over running heads, or we got to run a CDT pump every half hour, while on our other half you polished brass, scrubbed deck plates, or wiped oil. Basically, how to be a goffer. 146 All our thoughts before and dur- ing alongside training were main- ly concerned with, what the H can they really do to us. Many came back to the campus to embark on the ship, with a truck load full of non-necessities. We were promptly told either to stow them away never to be seen again until we were departing for good, or to be wise and leave them at home. Out of the week of alongside, 2 days internment was the usual sentence for hard labor. Much ef- fort was put towards the handling and storage of food supplies: crates upon crates were loaded, but all during the cruise we al- ways wondered where it all was hidden. All supplies were hand- led with the most up to date and efficient form of power: Youngie Power ! Our first night aboard the T.S. Bay State was spent mainly clean- ing up the filth of our humble abode and kicking out the old in- habitants, fleas, moths, roaches, and vermin. Even showers were on the agenda, for those who braved ice cold water in the dorms. The problem of overcrowding on the ship brought on by the vastly in- creased enrollment, was solved by the conversion of the 1 hold into living quarters, promptly and aptly named the Hole . When the first residents arrived to the hole, they were directed to find their appropriate numbered locker and a 5 ft. by 2 ft. rack space. In the good ole days when men were men, they were stuck up in the high rise apartments. Now, in the slums, the big event was when someone moved up to E deck! As the cruise wore on, the men liv- ing in the hole were considered the back bone of our class and best represen- ted how much one could take, and still come out with a sense of humor. Finally our day of de- parture arrived. The docks were lined with parents, friends and relatives waving fare- well to all. After leaving Buzzards Bay we quickly gained our sea- legs by coming in close contact with Hurricane Amy. Charlie Gushing immediately became the symbol of our discom- fort by being sea-sick from day 1 of the cruise until he safely set foot on land again. The 12 days were good for the vast amount of knowledge gained and the general great feeling of finally feeling as if we were a part of our profession. During our momentous Atlantic crossing, many activities were to be had for all cadets. Some of us had the privilege of being mess cooks, an experience we would never forget. Watches, Train- ing and Maintenance were the basic staple for our livelihood. As young- men we lacked knowledge and experience of our ship, but we were ex- pected to learn quickly. The highlights of our crossing were numerous. Pat Morgan reached heights of glory by out eating the famed Sow Saia during the water- melon eating contest. Equally enjoyable were the boxing matches, most notably Jimbo LaRiviere against Steve Paglierani, the best footwork ever seen in a ring! The nightly movies, set under the canopy of stars, were always a good attrac- tion out on the fan- tail. As we came closer to Dublin, ev- eryone grew anxious to set foot on land again and relieve some pressure. On the morning of our arrival, Ireland was hidden by a thick blanket of fog, but as we entered the River Liffey, the mist burned off and the green land of Ireland lay ahead. The River Liffey was an unforgettable land- mark which smelled as bad as it looked. Our berthing, some 3 miles from civilization, made the return trip from liberty a sight to behold. Youngmen turn- ed into Olympic runners, making a bee-line for the ship, even under the influence. In Ireland the old tradition of burning the midnight oil came back in the form of night life in Dub- lin. Sunset never came about until 10 at night, which meant the night clubs such as Mooney ' s and Byrnes, etc. opened no earl- ier than 1 1 or midnight. The beer surpassed our expectations, with Guiness Stout being very popular because of the Guinness brewery tour, where many lingered to test the beer for quality and quantity. Dublin, was not without its sen- sation of fear, caused by contin- uing unrest in the North. A glass smashing or a retort in the street made locals and shopkeepers jump with a start and turn pale. The Irish were very hospitable, as were their maidens, usually to the dislike of the men folk! We left amidst the playing of the band, with all having enjoyed the sights and sounds, and countryside of Ireland. For the next three days we ran up the English Channel and around the North Sea, where we had our first view of the White Cliffs of Dover and the French coast- line. We proceeded up the river and tied up in downtown Rotter- dam. Rotterdam, one of the largest and busiest ports in the world, showed us what a real port facility was all about. Many took advantage of the low fares to hop a train and go to Amster- dam to see the sights and do a little window shopping. Places such as Canal Street, the Rijksmuseum, Rembrandt ' s birth- place, Liebestrasse and many more were well worth the train fare to get there. At the same time a group of cadets visited the Hein- eken brewery, where the legends of a sailor ' s thirst and capacity were re-established and fortified. Moving on to Copenhagen, the most beautiful and exciting port we would visit - our dreams of how one could live were realized. - The women were as beautiful as we were told to expect, and most of us were already planning to come back when the fields were a little greener with profits. Danish hospitality was outstand- ing as were their elephant beers and hot dogs. - Many who visited the Carlsberg brewery were con- vinced of the elephant beer ' s potency while taste testing the many selections put out for them at the end of the tour. Cul- ture abounded here in Copen- hagen and many took it upon them- selves to make the treacherous and watery climb to ride the bulls amidst the fountains of water and laughing friends. Although we didn ' t want to depart, we all too soon set sail for our last liber- ty port: South Hampton. The passenger ship terminal served as our berthing place and as always we took off to see the sights. Those who still had funds left, did not restrict ourselves to South Hampton alone; many of us boarded trains to Portsmouth and London and took in the sights. The days of being in South Hamp- ton began to be a bad joke, as the problems with our genera- tors intensified and rumor had it that we might be staying a wee bit longer. Yet after a 154 3! 6 glorious days, we departed South Hampton for home. As final days of cruise stemmed down, our internship as 4th class also became past history. We all had learned a great deal, and our initiation into the life of the sea completed. The opportunity to decide whether to be deckie or engineer was given us, and destinies and futures started. The Bicentennial Year was upon us, we were 3rd jobs now, or second jobs, however we wanted to look at it. Basically our duties were intensified as were our levels of responsibility. Operation Sail was our moment in the sun and a chance to become recognized as part of an op- eration which would be remember- ed for years to come. We had been assigned as Communications liaison ship for Operation Sail. Our stateside cruise began with high expectations of much learn- ing and experience. As it turn- ed out, training was severely lacking and the only main con- cerns were to put forth a good showing and please all. Bermuda was our first port of call and by far the best. Ber- muda was fantastic. The 10 speed enthusiasts were well off, but the thing to have was a MoPed, Many frequented the fabulous beaches of pure white sand and plush hotel resorts. The water was crystal clear blue, warm and refreshing, which made the hot trip down toward the equator seem well worth it. It was the off season for tourists, but for us it was great. Best remembrances of Bermuda were the terrifying bus rides at mid- night, and bottles of cold 155 Heineken beer, but three days just isn ' t enough to see much. On the 20th of June, the Newport race began. The Bay State and HMS Eskimo were the starters and we were promptly selected to pick up the life rafts of the Liberatard-Juan Sebastian col- lision, an omen of things to come. Following a six day passage to Newport, R.I., we put into harbor and began to realize that, while the Tall Ships were welcomed with open arms, ships such as ours ac- companying them were not. The majestic and stately mansions of the well to do of Newport made an equally grand impression on those of us who ventured to visit such places as The Breakers, an estate of the Vanderbilts. Onward to New York. Well, al- most, we ended up berthed in Bayonne, N.J. (where all things labeled return to sender end up). July 4th, best to be re- membered at the V.F.W. Club. It was 10 a beer night, and ca- dets would not be denied. The porch landing was an insuffi- cient perch for many to see the fireworks, but the top of the roof was excellent. The whole situation was deemed so disgust- ing that Admiral Harrington and Capt. McNaughton decided to pull the Bay State out of the opera- tion and spend some time in Buzzards Bay instead. This turn- ed out to be the best port of the cruise, since we all could go home. The ship rejoined Op Sail at Boston and finally made a grand entrance. We were properly gre- eted and treated in our old sto- mping grounds, as all six New 156 England governors, the Secretary of the Navy, and assorted dig- nitaries reviewed the Tall Ships Parade from the Bay State ' s decks. While in Boston, we were treat- ed to a huge gala festivity at the Copley Square Hotel, where there were only 700 cadets and 1400 wild insurance secretaries. If you didn ' t have at least 2 ladies on each arm you were con- sidered a failure to mankind. We proceeded to Philadelphia in- dependently, leaving Op Sail be- hind for good after Boston. Philadelphia, best to be remem- bered as W.C. Fields ' city of brotherly love, was not that way for us, as far as the base com- mander was concerned. Philly was great but liberty sparse. Re-fueling took top priority. Many frequented the officers ' clubs in search of game, but instead succeeded in drinking the places dry. The Phillies game was great, providing you arriv- ed before the first couple of innings. The rest of the game was a scoreless affair, and the fights in the stands brought more attention than the play on the field. So endeth our second cruise, we were now upper jobs, tried and true. This year it was our turn to take the T.S. Bay State down to ship- yard and go to work. Braswell Shipyard in Boston was selected as our destination, which con- veniently afforded us the luxury of going home on liberty. While at hardworking Braswell, a place which will long burn in the hearts of many, the allotted 4 week per- iod for ship ' s repair became 8 weeks. The most drastic results were that we ended up minus a 157 Chief and First Asst. Engineer, exactly one week before departing on the cruise. The epitome of all our frustrations at shipyard came when the Admiral made his decision to move coasties to April. But the decision was made, right or wrong . It was final and that was it. After an almost per- manent stay in shipyard the cruise finally began with a new complement of engineers and deck officers. Much credit should be given to Mr. McMurray, Mr. Caron and Mr. Lamb, who lent experience and stabil- ity to a tough situation. Our new chief, a man from Weymouth was Chief Doherty, and first assistant Mr. Low, both excellent individuals, who pulled us through and got us moving towards our destination: Ireland. Dublin was about the same as we had left it 2 years ago, with most of the excitement worn off. The major difference was that now we were the 1st jobs, with overnight liberty and plenty of preparations well made 161 to get out of the trenches of the city and head for the country. Many cadets of our class had 10 speed bikes but some had the bucks to rent cars. We packed up and took off to explore the countryside. Many parts of Ireland were visited: Bray Head, Howath Head, and the Guinness Estate. Night life was good in places such as Zchavago ' s and Lower Baggot Inn. After Ireland, with its fantastic countryside and stately homes, it was onward, through the locks to the land of Scots. Edinborough, set against the majes- tic background of high mountains and roll- ing plains, had many places of interest as well as a plentiful number of excellent stores and shops to browse in. Again, as in Dublin, it was explore the city for a day on bikes and then head out on a long journey to parts unknown in the countryside. Some of us rented cars; others went by bus or train. The exceptional views alone were well worth the price of transportation. Loch Ness was the furthest away to travel, but we survived the 5 V2 hour ride by train or car. Alas! No sightings of the monster. Others visited the villages of Pit Lochrey and Perth and many more. Edinborough ' s famous and overbearing castles looked out upon the vast, growing city, truly a beauti- ful sight to behold at night, with its lovely gardens and parks laid out below. The pubs were much to the taste of all - plenty of Harp and Mac Ewan ' s ale to quench the thirst of tired and well-traveled cadets. For the stronger type blokes there was always Vat 69 to simmer them down! Copenhagen was next on the cruise agenda. Tivoli was the center of all attention, with more attrac- tions than would be deemed possible. The ladies were all gorgeous and the prices pret- ty much the same: expensive. Again the mermaid and water front parks were ex- plored and the art of throwing frisbees in- troduced to the Danish. Others visited Swe- den by catching an eventful ride on one of Copenhagen ' s many hydrofoils. Some of the more macho of the class led 162 1 on by the distinguished alumni David Cox dared to venture upon the nude beaches of Copenhagen, where the on-lookers were more embarrassed by being seen with clothes than were the natives with them off. No visit to Denmark would be complete without stopping at the home of the ele- phants. The Carlsberg Brewery was alive and well and thoroughly checked out for the quality of its beer. The elephants were ex- cellent as was the sight seeing, but, alas, never time enough spent in each country. Our last stop of cruise ' 77 was up the Elbe River, one of the busiest thoroughfares in the world. Cuxhaven was a small quiet town, much to the dismay of cadets, but thankfully Hamburg was quite interesting, with a massive formal protest against nucle- ar power being the main attraction on the streets. Many cadets spent their final sums of money to buy gifts and souvenirs and also to sample good German cooking and excel- lent Heineken or Becks beer. Some of the wild crew took on St. Pau- lie ' s with predictable results agreeing never to venture back there again without full armor and some clout. The German people were most hospitable, and the biggest gate breakers. Hundreds of fans came to view the vintage W.W. II model. Being such a center of attraction, we left for home the same way we came, with an excellent band playing Benny Goodman favorites. ETA for Boston was August 20th. On our voyage home we have many thanks to Mr. McMurray, who without fail, and under no obligation to anyone, held classes every day at sea for those who were interested in learning a little more than re- quired. During long cruise back, many ac- tivities kept boredom at a safe level: nightly movies, boxing matches, with good head to head competition, and excellent musical en- tertainment provided to us by John Wilson and Walter Boychuk, not to forget our greatest combo of Stevie Steam drum and the D.C. Heaters. 163 Entering Boston Harbor was quite im- pressive with the setting sun high lighting the Boston skyline. To celebrate our return to Boston, youngie talent night was put on to the delight of many. Our anchorage was just outside of Commonwealth Pier, with the Boston Skyline and city lights as back- ground. We had a pleasant night, movies, listening to tunes on the poop, and reminisc- ing of times past. The T.S. BAY STATE made a couple of pleasure cruises, for the benefit of 1st class families and friends, an excellent gesture by all involved, before the ship finally headed home for Buzzards Bay. Our last days of being on a Classic were ended, and we headed out for a long 2 weeks of vacation before returning for our final year. A.H. Munter ' 78 MARITIME WHO ' S WHERE A.

There was once a time when the skysails and moonrakers of America ' s tall, swift, beautiful clipper ships dominated the high seas ... a time when Americans were the first to cross the Atlantic under our own steam ... a time when we ruled the waves.

And proud that today we offer the newest vessels, the swiftest service, the most direct routes to the fastest-growing parts of the world. That ' s why all our ships are American built. American manned. American operated.

HCs a grand old flag line. With a grand new look. At Farrell Lines, we ' re proud to do a little flag waving — right from the sterns of the sixteen vessels in our fleet. With all the dynamic changes taking place at Farrell Lines, we ' ve never carried Old Glory to so many places as we do today. Our primary destinations are growing so fast, it ' s hard to keep up with them. First, there ' s Africa, where we go to East, South and West African ports. Then, there ' s Australia and New Zealand. And most recently the islands of the South Pacific. We ' ve expanded our full-service departure points as well. We now sail from all four U.S. coasts: East and West Coast ports. Gulf ports and the Great Lakes, and Canadian ports on both coasts. Our ships and equipment are the most modern LASH vessels and fully containerized ships; and ships that provide breakbulk. reefer, heavy lift and deep tank service. We ' ve recently completed a program of jumbo- ization to increase the carrying capacity of our con- tainer fleet — a fleet that is entirely American built, jSt manned and supplied. So American dollars stay at home. LASH ship So if you have something going our way, let ' s do a little flag waving together Call Farrell Lines, the Amer- ican flag line.
