But, most importantly, the lessons you have learned - perseverance, discipline and dedication to duty - will ensure your success in every future endeavor. Each of you can take pride in this achievement. Our nation is great because of men and women like you, who are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to safeguard the fundamental freedoms and values we cherish. I thank you on behalf of our fellow Americans for your selfless service and steadfast devotion to our nation. Best wishes for every future success.

The knowledge and maritime skills you have acquired, building upon your own strength of character, have prepared you well for your professional careers.

You now embark on a glorious voyage - the rest of your life - for which we here at KP have endeavored to prepare you well. I know I speak for all the faculty and staff when I extend very best wishes to you all for your future success! Most especially, however, I wish to extend my sincerest personal compliments for your individual achievements while here at the academy as well as my heartfelt thanks for the two honors you have so graciously seen fit to bestow upon me. Having this volume dedicated on my behalf and to have been voted the Sue Alice McNulty Award for Outstanding Teaching are overwhelming tributes for which I am sincerely grateful! Please know that I deeply appreciate your recognition of my teaching efforts because good teaching is (dare I risk a pun) hard work. However, good learning is even harder, and you have worked very, very hard, especially this past unique year. Your impressive license results - the best in years - alone are proof of the earnestness of your efforts. You can, and should, be very proud of your success... and I salute you! It was a pleasure working with, and getting to know, so many of you individually (alas, engineers usually avoided me; deckies probably would have too had it been practicable!) , and I look forward to seeing you again from time to time at your various reunions and return visits. Until then keep in touch, and I extend my very best wishes for good health, happiness, and professional success. SBE; FULL AHEAD! Douglas A.

They saw the words of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep. For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; if their I and sta • • .V ' en they one and He brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and He guided them to their desired haven. r. Psalm 107: 23-30 the their troub out to or in • v- For many of us, the sea year experience is the first chance to spread our wings and discover the different cultures, religions, and languages our world has to offer. Although some ports may seem like another world we have all experienced the universal innocence and love found in the eyes of a child. A midshipman becomes a more rich and interesting person through his experiences at sea. Those who choose to sail on the deep are passionate about their beliefs and love forthe timeless, spiritual sea. Jason and I had the task of proving an accurate account of the sea year experience. Perhaps the best way to understand what a midshipman endures during sea year is to listen and learn from sea stories. Telling a sea story is an art form in which sailors try to convey thei r experiences to another. We have provided photos to ensure the stories credibility. Hold the memories of seaclose. It is truly atime where your mind is free from distraction and one’s compassion can take over. “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” -St. Augustine - Christopher Yarashas and Jason Teal If the world is a bookthen it’s a Kings Pointer’s text book, and aftertwo sea years we become well read on the subject. Not only is it a valuable asset after graduation, butitisacomingofage. When midshipmen notonly learn about the industry, but more importantly learn about themselves. It’s a maturing process where a cadet’s childhood innocence is lost and knowledge aboutthe real world is gained. When else would you learn how to sleep during forty foot seas in the North Atlantic, or just as importantly manage to get back to the ship at four in the morning in aforeign country all alone. All of these hurdles mold us into something that can never be taken from us....being Kings Pointers.

As soon as Kellie and I finished our day’s work we quickly got ready to see the world. Our tour guide Sami Diab took us from the port of Haifa, Israel to Jerusalem and later to see Bethlehem. After fighting for road space with cars, trucks, camels, and mules we arrived in Bethlehem. As we were driving down the main street, we turned a corner and al 1 of a sudden we saw Israeli soldiers in army uniforms jumping out of a truck with machine guns. We sat there frozen in fear watching as Palestinian terrorists ran out of build- ings throwing small grenades and shooting ran- domly at the Israeli Army and the people in the street. Kellie and I sat there watching in horror wondering if some anti-American terrorist had seen us. We watched as innocent victims suffered the physical wounds of gun shots and the emotional wounds of hatred. When the gun shots drew silent, all we heard was the sound of a distant siren and the weeping of the women and children who watched. Kellie and I had seen our lives pass before our eyes. We left Bethlehem that day in silence without once stepping out of the van. 78 Left: With all the traveling Midshipmen do during Sea Year, it only makes sense that some might run into a celebrity or two on their journey.

Three pirates, looking as if they belonged in a jungle, forced us on to our knees and made us crawl to the fantail. There, we met the wet side of the fire hoses. Then they force us to investigate the finer side of the muck in the bilges, and had us swim in a hodgepodge of water and the previous week’s foodwaste. They made us eat rotten food, pray to the gods, and bark like dogs. After “taking the cherry” from the belly of King Neptune’s Son, they put us up for judgment in front of King Neptune himself.

By: Bob Humplik While sailing aboard the USNS Laramie with fellow classmates Aaron Moore, Kurt Sulzbach, and Jason Teal in the Mediterranean, we had the chance to go snowboarding in the Pyrennes Moun- tains. Jason had thrown out the idea to the chief mate earlier in the trip, so when we arrived in Tarragona, Spain the mate supplied us with a touring sedan, ski resort brochures, and sent us on our way. Our destination was the tiny country of Andorra that is nestled between France and Spain. After a very short three hour drive we were in the resort town of Pas De La Casa, where we found accomodations for the weekend and cheap rental equipment. Dressed in naval issue rain gear pants and various jackets acquired on the ship, we were on it. For the rest of the weekend we proceeded to beat ourselves senseless, and have the time of our lives in the process. The conditions were A+, and more advanced then any of us were used to. We finally decided it was time to go when first time snowboarder Kurt injured his shoulder attempting some extreme air the second day. An injury that would end up leaving him in a sling for two weeks. All injuries aside though, it was still one of the greatest weekends of our lives, and we got sea days for it.

By: Christopher John Vincenzo Yarashas My first trip onboard the M V American Condor looked bleak from the start, but in no way was I prepared for what lie ahead in Africa. While anchored outside of Eritrea and Ethiopia the Captain put the three cadets on 24 hour “pirate watch.” I drew the 4-8 watch on the stern of the Ro-Ro where there were two stem ramps. While sitting on some mooring lines, I began to eat a Pop-Tart and write a post card to my family. At about 0530 I was surprised to find an African climbing off of the port stem ramp. I quickly got on the radio begging for assistance. The man stopped dead in his tracks when we both made eye contact. Naturally he was intimidated by my godly physique (I swear). I guess I started to feel the wetness in my shorts when he drew his machete and pointed towards me. I grabbed a wooden broomstick handle and the two of us began to circle each other waiting for the first, or last move to occur. After deciding that I had a lot more life to live, I drew back and the pirate ran off. Later that morning, while we were searching for the pirate, his friend climbed up the anchor chain and stowed away in the limber holes of the bow thruster. He rode the vessel until we reached Tanzania and was then “taken care of’ by Tanzanian Port Offi- cials. Below: I bet you're asking yourself What's the significance of the bigg pile of rocks?

Immediate changes were very apparent as Coach Alger and his Is1 class captain, Aaron Taylor, took over the reigns. The Kings Point wrestlers faced many strong opponents against the Coast Guard Academy, Montclair State. NYU. College of New Jersey, Trinity, Norwich, and many other quality teams. They also saw much action at the New York State Championships, the Coast Guard Tournament, All Academy Championships, and the Metropolitan Championships. “Although our record may not show it, I feel that we improved from the first day of practice through the last day of the season,” said Alger. “This is not always an easy thing to do when you suffer tough losses with a young team. Luckily, we had great leadership from our captain Aaron Taylor, who would not allow the young squad to wallow in disappointment because of their lack of collegiate experience.” Coast Guard Inv. - 7th Hunter Coll.

The girls were able to bring home a sixth place from the Metropolitan Championships as well. The most memorable meet of the season was against Mt. St. Mary’s. The girls were out numbered 8 to 22 so the team was up for a hard meet. Cecilia Irvin swam the 1000 yard free for extra points, on herfirst day back. The meet stayed tied forthe entire meet, as every girl on the team swam great times and won her races. The meet came down to the last relay. Coach Vaccaro formed an “all seniors” relay team that won the meet forthe team. Key swimmers were Michelle Gates, afreshman, who broke a numberof KP records, and Raegan Kirk, a sophomore who was a power house in the backstroke all season. For all the underclass on the team, take the advice of the seniors, hang in there, keep up the swimming, break those times, be proud of yourteam, and most of all remember, “if you drink like afish, don’t drive.

Kings Point went on to capture their second consecutive Skyline Title and third consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships. Earning the 3 seed in the Atlantic Region, Kings Point was set to host their first-ever NCAA Championship Game as they faced sixth-seeded New Jersey City University in First Round action.

Reveille at 0630 was nothing compared to the pre-season demands of the new and very enthusiastic head coach, Nicci Dial. These motivated athletes were determined that the 0530 practices in O’ Hara would pay off. Considering the fun they had and the progress they made, their hard work and dedication did pay off. Despite the hard work, the softball team still managed to find time bonding at post-game barbecues at the Kings Point Park. The season proved successful and had quite a bit of support, sometimes too much, from the midshipman audience in the park. Dominican (DH): 1-9L0-16L SUNY Maritime: 25-3 W Valiants Fastpitch Inv.

Fueled by this upset, the Mariners won their next nine matches before falling to Division II Queens in a close match. Included in these victories was a huge win against conference rival Staten Island, whom the Mariners beat 9-0. The team ended the season 14-3 overall and 3-0 in the Skyline Conference. The team crushed the Skyline Conference losing only 3 out of 36 matches in the conference to bring back the Champion Title after three years. The team’s captain and number five player.

Fortunately, the team had great freshmen and a handful of talented first year seniors that made apositive impact from day one. Chris Y arashas was the ace of the pitching staff at Kings Point. In a doubleheader. Y arashas threw a complete game to win game one and went on to pitch five solid innings toeam the win in game two. The key to success this year as theMarinersevenedat 11-11 and second in the Skyline Conference was undoubtedly defense and pitching. Berquist, Teal, Dahl, and Warren contributed to asolid infield while Joe Clark and WadeThibault tracked down balls in the outfield. Afteran injury to Washlick. Ken Graff steppedin as catcher and basically tore up the league earning him 1 st team All- Conference catcher. Flowers. Ross, and Chorik all played significant roles in the successof the Mariners and will hopefully lead ayoung talented team to many more wins in the future.

The Yearbook staff on their annual trip to the the Herff Jones Plant in Gettysburg. PA. Saverio Grosso saves the yearbook staff from being stranded. So THIS is how they do it WAIT! someone is missing. Y earbook The 1999 Midships staff and editors started the year off with their annual trip to the Herff Jones Plant in Gettysburg, PA. While there, the staff was taken on a tour of the plant, while the editors planned out the cover and end sheets and learned how to use the various resources available to them to put the yearbook together. Rebecca Stephens and Saverio Grosso served as co-editors-in- chief and with them worked many first class section editors and underclass staff to help bring this yearbook “from the drawing board” into your hands. A lot of effort was put forth by photographers, writers, editors and computer whizzes to put this group of ideas into being. We hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor!

The Regimental Band marches after performing at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Regimental Band of the United States Merchant Manne Academy had an exciting 1998-1999 year. First rotation began with two great Beat Retreat performances. Then the RBM, M nLenFaucher. 1 c led the band in two prestigious parades. In November, the band was called to help honor American Hero John Glenn in aticker tape parade thought the “Canyon of Heroes.” Then on Thanksgiving Day the Band stole the show in a very wet and cold Macy’sThanksgiving Day Parade. Under the leadership of second rotation RBM, M n Harry W. Elliott IV, 1 c, the band had many featured musical performances, including participation in a maritime celebration at Philadelphia Harbor. Also, many band members played in a concert at Kings Point with the Band of Long Island. In addition to the full band, several smaller groups had quite a year. The fanfare trumpets had a blockbuster year, performing at the Change of Command for the new superintendent and at the Congressional Club in Virginia. The pep band also had a great year, making appearances in support of Kings Point Football, Volleyball. Basketball, Wrestling, and even Swimming. All in all, 1998-1999 was a fun-fil led and dynamic year that continued band’s tradition of supporting and representing the academy with excellence.

The club continued to promote the art of photog- raphy and chronicle events within the regiment. Ryan Foster served as President of the club this year, taking off where Dave Hicks left off. Wally Ruth, Erin Hamner, and Amy Bennett were also very active in photography this year. Darkroom in use, do not enter. Captain M and the “Justice League” battle evil in the regiment. Ahhhh, true love. A select group of midshipmen have dedi- cated themselves to protecting the health and safety of their fellow midshipmen. These people are members of the USMMA Emergency Medical Service. This is a student-run organization con- sisting of one ambulance, and approximately 25 to 30 midshipmen. Some of the members are New York State licensed Emergency Medical Technicians, while others are EMT’s in training or ambulance drivers. The unit responds to medi- cal emergencies on campus, and stands by at spe- cial events such as football games. Their busiest time of the year and the time that the academy depends on them the most, is during Indoctrina- tion. Don’t worry, you are safe now. Wake up! It's time for the picture.

Taking time out of their already busy sched- ules they learn various marching techniques and broaden their knowledge of what the National Ensign stands for. The pay-off is to march in various venues ranging from New York Knicks games to national pa- rades to dinners in honor of the leaders of this country. They have had the opportunity to become socially apt and meet various people from many walks of life. 1998-1999 was a great year for the Debate and Forensics Team. M n Doug Tastad and M n Harry W. Elliott, IV 1 c were selected as captains, uniting them in a job they have shared for the past two years as “A-split” and ”B-split” Captains. The competition season began with new team members making a strong showing at the Bloomsburg Univer- sity Novice Individual Events tournament. The team went on to compete well in tournaments at American University and NYU. First Rotation also saw the two Captains travel to the United States Air Force Acad- emy to compete in its annual Debate and Forensics Tournament. Cap- tain” Tastad captured 4th place in after dinner speaking. Second rotation began with two tournaments in Boston where in addition to Doug picking up a 4th place trophy in extemporaneous speaking, the team visited the historic U.S.S. Constitution. The team then traveled to Binghamton University w'here Douglas Tastad and Marcus Laird each won a 3rd place trophy in after dinner speaking and rhetorical criticism respectively. In February, the team went to St. John’s University to compete in the National Forensics Association District 8 Championships where M n Elliott broke into finals in extemporaneous speaking and wound up taking 6th place. After it was all said and done, three team members, M N Harry Elliott as w'ell as M n Doug Tastad, and M n Joseph Lacey (who placed 5th and 6th in after dinner speaking respectively) were qualified to compete in the National Forensics Association’s National Championship Tournament. The season ended on an exciting note w'hen Dean Warren Mazek provided the funding for the two captains to travel to the International Forensics Association’s Tournament in Rome, Italy. The w-eeklong event was as fun and educational as it was competitive. In all 1998-1999 saw the team travel over 12.000 miles to compete in more tournaments and win more awards than in any of the past four years.

Members of the Merchant Marine Academy’s Newman Club had the opportunity December 5,1998, to tour the City firsthand. Walking up 5 Avenue, the planned route encompassed such tourist spots as the most famous building in the world.. .The Empire State Building. The students viewed the holiday windows of Lord Taylor’s Department Store, the famous lions of theN YC Public Library, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, and lastly. St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Here, members had the opportunity to attend the Catholic service in the largest Roman Catholic Cathedral in North America. The NYC Holiday Tour ended with the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular. “Awesome God’’ was the theme of the West Point Kings Point TEC retreat back in earl)’ February. Here, Kings Pointers had the opportunity to spend the weekend with West Pointers sharing their love for God in Garrison, NY. From the minute we got there we were kept busy. Though many nights were long lasting, it was so much fun nonetheless. It seemed like everywhere we went we would get gifts: our own copy of the Bible, candles, gifts from past TEC retreaters, and sun catchers to name only a few. But one of the best gifts everyone received were palanka: surprise letters from TEC retreaters who wanted to give you inspiration or encouragement in having the courage to find or rediscoverChrist. The whole trip was an incrediblymovingexperienceforall who participated. And even though w e thought it was silly when w e were told, it turned out to be so true. Everyone had a TEC Retreat High that lasted a few days after the retreat! Father Carl and the group give their time for service projects. Eating where every day is Friday...

If one has somehow gone • w through this institution without failing, he has done himself a great disservice. For w here else can one fail so cheaply? It would be my recomendation midshipmen become involved in as many activities as possible to provide the maximum opportunity for failure. For through failing, one learns that there is nothing to fear in failure, and once the fear of failure dissipates a universe holding no bounds emerges.

ERIC GOUGH CONGRATULATIONS - A JOB WELL DONE! WE’RE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU! LOVE MOM, DAD, TAMMY, HEATHER and LINDSEY Midshipman Dubois, a wanderer extreme Roaming the deeps in those shipping machines Short hair and his ball cap and smoke in his pipe Hawspipers to rankle, sea projects to type. Each morning arising and perusing his closet He ponders those tell-tale grease paint salt deposits And wonders if it’s worth what he must leave astern Like meadows and mountains and a red-headed intern Yet chugging his coffee he meanders on deck To wonder still further will it be worth the check? But there’s sunrise to view from a mid-ocean perch And a song to the soul that he won’t hear in church It’s been quite a journey from the green shores of Renton Through Valdez and Sitka and more southern inspections Of messing with radars and falling in harbors Of learning to smile at both barmaids and barbers 441 ♦♦♦ JOSEPH NORMAN 4% KUKTA Congratulations! Joey, Congratulations for the courage and determination to always reach your goals. We know that it was tough. You made it! We are all so very proud of you. God bless you. May your life be long, happy, healthy and everything that you want it to be. Good luck in your future. Re- member we will always be there for you. We love you, Bud. Pride and tradition are the first words that come to mind as I rehearse your journey from high school senior to gradu- ate of Kings Point. Your roots come from two great family traditions. All of those you love, and who have loved you, have stood by your side both in this world and the next. You have carried and will carry all of us with you as you continue your travels through life. The bible says, “We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses.” For you this is surely true. From the portals of heaven stand Papa. Granddaddy, and Granny. Down here stand Mamaw, Nana. Daddy. Momma. Amy, Zach, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. We all stand together with tears of joy, hearts full of pride, prayers of thanksgiving, and visions of hope. Son. I cried when you left. I waited for every opportunity to hear from you. You left this small world and stepped out into a larger one. You did not go alone. Christ went with you and kept you. Now you step out on a great adventure. And your caravan of supporters will trail along. Go with confidence. Go in faith. We are all standing, applauding, and praying as you “carry on the FAMILY TRADITION.” Dad, Mom, Greg, Angela Your Loving Family Dear HreU, li)e ai'e so proud of you and fust wanted to s iare a few t iouy its witfiyou...
