JU IOR RING WEEK E D May you wear this emblem of our academy as a sign to all mariners on all the seven seas that you are without peer in the brotherhood of the seaf, The ring is sectioned into three parts: The top which signifies honor, the Merchant or Academy side which signifies loyalty, and the Naval side, which signifies devotion to duty. The ring has 18 designs to it. Starting with the top is the name of the school encasing two stars. The stars signify the future we have ahead of us and our obligation to make life as bright and meaningful as we can. The base of the dome is circled by a grommet of rope which shows that we will forever be bound to the comrade- ship of the classmates we have met, lived with, and soon are to graduate with, and to remind us that if we ever meet a graduate, in need or otherwise, to treat him with the virtues we as a graduate would want to receive from him. On the Navy or devotion to duty side is the year of our graduation. Under the date is the three pronged spear of Poseidon, better known as a trident, the symbol of power. In the days of the Greeks, Poseidon was the God of the sea and he had a palace in the deeps of the Mediterranean. The trident was his symbol of power and with one sweep of his mighty lance, could enflame the morning calm or smother the winter sea. just beneath the trident is the American Bald Eagle perched on a helm. The king of birds symbolizes freedom through might, and courage. In 1782 Congress chose him to be the symbol of the United States of America. The sword, called the most romantic of weapons, is the symbol of war and has been worn as a badge of honor among fighting men since iron and steel were first used as weapons. The right to carry a sword has always. been a mark of rank, and today when most of its usefulness has departed, it remains a symbol for Army and Naval officers the world over, hence the crossed swords on the ring. The letters USNR signify the United States Naval Reserve which until a few years ago meant every graduate was a member of the Naval Reserve. The helm on which the Eagle perches, symbolizes the course every man will steer for himself. The anchor is the symbol of secureness and even more traditionally the symbol of Hope. It is this heavy metal device which holds a vessel fast to the bottom of the sea. On the Academy side of the ring are two oarfish. Oarfish with their silvery, fragile, jelly-like bodies, have given rise to stories of the sea serpent with the horse's head and a red mane. The lighthouse between the serpents is a representation of Dice's Lighthouse here in Castine. It marks on the ring the first home land- mark seen by the training ship after a cruise. It was built back when the history of this country first began and remains standing today. l The Academy seal speaks for itself. It gives the name of the school, the date it was founded, the two courses offered, a pine tree - the symbol of Maine, and a sailing ship, emblematic of the idea behind the school. 5 1 0

Underneath the seal is the anchor, signifying the merchant marine and on either side are two items which symbolize the two courses of study offered at the Academy. The sextant is for the deck course because of its great value for determining position at sea, and has been synonymous with navigation for more than 200 years. The pro- peller symbolizes the engineering course since it is the main job of the propeller to push the ship on its journey, and the job of the engi- neer to keep it turning. The last item is the three chevrons representing the three years of study prior to graduation year. The bottom, being the largest, represents the indoctrination year of a freshman cadet. The second chevron denotes the sophomore year and theetop chevron denotes the junior year. It is wider due to the leadership and responsibility the Junior Class must share. The planning for this weekend began several months previous when a committee headed by our class president, Roger Haines, Was set up. As a result of much hard work, the Weekend turned out to be a huge success. It started on a Friday with private parties followed by Pathfinder rides Saturday morning. In the afternoon Howdy Heath had a picnic with lobsters cooked by those masters of the culinary arts, Ed Gillman and Brian Sullivan. That night a group from Caribou, the Cobras, provided the music, while the decorations C handled by Tom Moutsatsosj, lighting, and pretty faces provided the romance. Follow us now in our pictorial review of this memorable event.
