Little did we know, at that time, of the extent of the damage done to us as victims of these circumstances. We were liv- ing in the crews quarters of the ship and were perfect examples of saucy sophomores believing that after two cruises and much dinking, we knew all the answers. Our training in- creased and day by day we were awakened to new phenomenons per- taining to the maritime industry. Soon it was Iune and we moved up a class with new jobs and increased responsibilities, but still no privi- leges until we earned themf, We did have, however, private heads and less resistance going on local. The academy grew as we did, and achangev was part of our everyday vocabulary. The knowledge of our getting closer to our licenses con- tinued to drive us onward, as we accepted our disappointments in stride. As the semester drew to a close and Christmas, Chunuka, and New Years approached, we looked forward to our junior cruise, without mugs, with mixed emotions. Sa,beingarate is fun- I I I LigNielson. .

We were now juniors but still the lower of the upper classes and we would still receive no added privileges until we earned themf, This year the school tried something new Cagainl. The Freshmen would stay behind and continue with their classes while we were out at sea. On the lips of every Midshipman was the emphatic desire to cross the Big Pondv and visit Europe. We anxiously awaited the expectant trip to Spain with its senoritas and merciless bulliights. As the last line came aboard, it was found that the junior deckies made excellent helmsmen. We should be, after all, this was only the third cruise we made at the big wheelf, We heard rumors that Savannah was to be our dry- dock port and looked forward to increasing our know- ledge about the maritime field by many visits to the neighboring ships scattered throughout the yard. 127
