OUR SECO D YEA : This year the school was going to try something new, which, by the way, was not out of the ordinary for the school to do. We were to take two cruises. The first would have the complement of all the seniors, half the sophomores, and half the freshmen. The second cruise would have all the juniors and the other halves of the sophomore and fresh- man classes. We made the same preparations for this cruise as we had made for the previous one such as loading stores, cleaning rooms and moving to new quarters with different roommates except on this cruise we felt we were somewhat more than just r'Supermugsf' We were Veterans of the sea. Our new quarters were in the verandas surrounded by 4 senioris rooms and this time we heard Hey, soph- omore, get in here! You can use our head anytime you want, now that you're our head boy. . .!

B T STILL E FOLLOW Gee, I wish I could go to Maine Maritime and take a cruise ACKSO ILLE Jacksonville was a large open city which, we thought, offered little in the form of Middie entertainment. The school arranged a trip to St. Augustine and the Marineland of Florida which made our stay more than Worthwhile. During an escapade about this old city of the South we encountered another visitor, Massachusetts Maritime Academy and We were surprised to find them very compatible. At Marineland We became aware of the vastness of the life under the sea and we Watched with amazement as the many reptiles performed their astonishing feats. Our berth in Jacksonville was nicer than any We had previously stayed in and was provided for us by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, whose beautiful building towered over us. After four frost- filled days in port we set sail for what we hoped would be warmer weather in Sunny Mexicof, 109
