THOMPSON. MM. A. Executive Officer Page Eight dedication A graduate oj the Massachusetts Nautical Training Schoolship Ranger in 1 C U2, Com- mander John W. Thompson has ever since been connected i)i some manner with the sea, and training young men for a life aboard ships of our Merchant Marine and Navy. As one who has always displayed a deep and sincere interest in the Academy, and as a man with the distinction oj l eing fair to all who approach him as our Executive Officer, ive appreciatively dedicate to him this, the yearbook of the Class of June 1946. Page Nine MAURICE J. TOBIN GDVERNDR THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT STATE HOUSE, BOSTON December 20, 1945 Members of the Class of 1946: I am very happy to extend the greetings of the Commonwealth and to offer my personal congratulations to the members of the 1946 graduating class of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, an institution which I consider one of our most valuable educational facil- ities. From the beginnings of Colonial history, the name of Massachusetts has been synonymous with maritime activity. Our early shipbuilders, captains, and crews established illustrious reputations. Throughout the succeeding generations those splendid traditions have been maintained and even enhanced by sturdy and venture- some sons of the Bay State. Now, in our own day, the responsibility of adding to the prestige of Massachusetts on the seas of the world is being assumed by well equipped young men of the type that make up your Class of 1946. As you leave the Maritime Academy to enter upon useful and honorable careers, you take with you the cordial best wishes of all the citizens of Massachusetts. I am confident that every success will be yours in the years that lie ahead, and that you will realize in your own lives the truth of the philosophy so aptly phrased by the eminent historian, Samuel Eliot Morrison: The bounty of the ocean is reserved for those who have the wit to learn her secrets, the courage to bear her buffets, and the will to persist, through good fortune and ill, in her rugged service. Page HI recit To the Class of 1946: You arc going down to the sea in ships at a most critical time in our nation ' s history. We have icon the war, now toe must learn how to live in peace, in order that the war may not have been a meaningless sacrifice. The part o) the Merchant Marine has been a vital one in this war. Its peacetime role will be no less important. As our ships have carried the men and materials oj war, so must ice depend upon them to carry the food and the tools needed to rebuild and revitalize the world. You will officer the ships that have this tremendous task laid out for them. Your skill and your diligence will deter- mine how that lash will be done. You are fighting your country ' s battle no less than did those who have fought so well during these past war years. We have tried to give you the basic training you need to begin your sea careers. From now on. it is your duty to apply these skills as best you can to the work ahead. It will be your responsibility to preserve the high reputation oj I he American seaman, and add to the proud record, your own achievements. You will cany the flag to the ends oj the earth. We wisli you a fair passage, a taut shif), and good holding ground when you are at your last anchorage. CLAUDE (). BASSET T, Commodore, USNR Page Thirteen rHEODORE L. Storer, Chairman; Pres. R. N.

Mac Alex Lenox School Second Petty Officer Gunner ' s Mate 1 Page Thirty-Eight Page Thirty-Nine ' Twas on that sombre, rainy morning of June 19, 1944, that we of the Chosen 39 who were very soon destined to become Midship- men at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, found themselves stand- ing before the hallowed? threshold of the dormitory building. We lis- tened to the O.D. (Officer of the deck as we were later to discover) shouting out room numbers on the ' First Cadet Deck ' and other strange idioms which created a general sense of being really ' green ' . As the memorable day contin- ued we managed to occupy our time in stenciling gear, turning to with scoops and foxtails, and listening to Smokey Nims make meager attempts to play First OUTWARD BOUND Call and Lay Alt, on that thing he called a bugle. We soon learned that standing watch was a primary duty, and that meant mainly losing sleep— Maloney used to do it with his eyes open! Joe Nose often sere- naded us to sleep, with the aid of the Taps ensemble— Gerbasi, vio- lin; Pierce, sax; Nims, trumpet. Sweet are the memories of the Deep turning up the Spotlight Bands program so all could listen and dream of home and all they had left behind; the next thing we knew it was time for morning muster and all hands were engrossed in the mad dash to make it on time. Some who couldn ' t run that early were satisfied with a convenient closet. And classes— You pronounce it Taykle, ' not tackle . . . Whether it ' s turbines, recips or diesels, it ' s da B.T.U. dat ' s behind cm. We were thoroughly impressed with the fact that we were thick-headed, and there wasn ' t much chance of our becoming officers (heard in seaman- ship class). We became accustomed to the routine; in fact we enjoyed it so much that we tossed away lib- erty to go sailing on those sultry Sat- urday afternoons. Even the old salts were not immune to the effects of Mai de Mer, suffered on the choppy waters of Lewis Bay, the playground of the Cape. Naturally, Page Forty-One there was infantry drill — what we had read in the papers about even sailors having to marc h had become a discouraging reality. Those ty- phoid shots in the arm on the day before didn ' t help much. Tossing that rifle around will get the stiff- ness out!! lint life was not all dull, weari- some existence. We got home two or three times that summer, and every weekend there were movies — ' The Last Days of Pom- peii ' ' . . . Solution of the Astro- nomical Triangle . . . The Con- struction of a Liberty Ship ' ' (that exciting serial that went on for weeks) and others for our off mo- ments ' ' enjoyment — until that memorable day on the last of Au- gust. Our guiding lights, some 160 upperc lassmen had returned from a cruise on the Pilot! It would be futile to attempt to reproduce in literary form the pass- ing events of that day, and all the other miserable ones that were to follow. Some of those infamous names still ring in our ears: Digit, Ses, Black Jack, Shief, and so on, ad infinitum. It was charac- ters like the lore-mentioned who helped us in man) ways to occupy our spare time (Landy made a striking figure in the pink panties); but we were at the same time be- coming educated — new terms like Cozying off, 86! and answering up with a shrill Sir! when hailed by a demanding upper gob had taken an integral meaning among us of the Chosen 39. Now. as Fourth Classmen, we had settled down to the true Aca- demy routine — we learned to take orders from a Company Command- er. Petty Officer, and the Great Bat. Com. (of the Who threw that nail lame) — and we found that we had to do it or get shoved, as the forbidding saying went. It was during September that the second hurricane in a short space of six years struck at Cape Cod. During that night security watches were posted at stations in a radius of oxer ten miles around Hyannis. It provided a welcome breather from classes, though many were found to complain of the rather cold and long night watches during the days that fol- Page Forty-Two lowed. As an aftermath of the storm, hatchets and axes were wielded on the numerous fallen trees on the Academy grounds. Practical Ship ' s Work, ' ' they called it! We had our first organized foot- ball team playing under the MM A colors that fall, though they played an abbreviated season. It was coached entirely by midshipmen. Swede Anderson, Mike Marrocco, Joe Derderian, and Bob Kokins contributed their efforts to the squad, which was captained by one work horse, McNamara . . . Life for us was continuing on in its anything but humdrum state, and we began to look forward to the Christmas holidays, and leave — not even a certain partaker of belladonna stopped us!! Returning from leave brought with it countless prospects — some happy and others with a more mor- ose outlook — it was just before the cruise that we lost Joe Lenihan, who cared a bit too much for the wide open spaces (the Chosen 39 had become 38). The Second Class took over after graduation on the 26th of January, and we saw a new class of 80 recruits enter on the First of February — we had climbed a rung on the proverbial ladder of hard knocks. In the meantime, scuttlebutt was increasing as to the itinerary of the cruise, scheduled to commence March 1st. After the melee of gear inspections, packing, etc., the full complement of classes embarked on the special train to New York, thence to Fort Schuyler, and the USMSTS American Pilotl During our first trip to sea (Smith town Bay, Southport, Mil- ford, Hempstead Bay, and other as- sorted stops on Long Island Sound) we became acquainted with stand- ing a sea watch — lifeboat crew, wipers, helmsman, Junior Fireman, Stores Carrier — and finally toss- ing the lines on the dock at the Fort, then liberty in New York! To see an inbound subway from West- chester Scpiare jammed with Mid- shipmen on a spree was not an un- common sight; the Chosen 38 were becoming big town operators: patrons of the Biltmore, G.A. Club, Diamond Horseshoe, those steak dinners at Jack ' s, etc. . . . The old routine of 10 days out, and 5 clays in port passed speedily, and eager thoughts were soon turned to re- turning to Hyannis in full control (our role of serfdom was finally over). Equally predominant was the sweet anticipation of ten clays ' leave and a gay summer on Cape Cod! Page Forty-Three INWARD BDUND Upon returning to Hyannis in June, the Fighting Firsts set out to take over full cadet command of the battalion. Rated men were announced, thus ending the famil- iar quips of Zebra! , etc. Gilson was chosen Battalion Commander with Fisher as his adjutant. Also announced at this time was the fact that all rates were to hold until July 31, with another change De- cember 1 , and an accompanying pos- sibility of changes of men — and how they did change! With the added prestige we soon learned that the First Class was often in the limelight. You couldn ' t turn around without pick- ing up 10 and a restriction! To- wards mid-summer we were hit hard and fast commencing with a duo ' s carousing in the Casbah one sultry evening— thus formally chris- tening the Century Club, of which many were destined to become members: Mirabile and the waste- basket; Derderian, who learned to let the barber cut hair; Pierce with his gleaming shoes. Rudin dropped out for a while to see two old col- lege friends and was given a Club membership upon his return. O ' Neil caught up on his sleep in C.P.O. Quarters. Extended Good Evenings to young ladies were not in good order after expiration of liberty, according to Laro (sans stripes). And so the summer continued. Of course we cannot forget the scores of beautiful femmes seen with Midshipmen on Sea Street. The First Class Deck put forth the first summer dance, which not only proved a success in itself, but paved the way for many more similar affairs. We lost many members of the faculty through changes of duty, but gained others who proved pop- ular, including Lieut. Commander McNulty, our amiable class advisor; Lieut, (jg) Harrell (from the deep South) and others like Dinty. LeRoy, etc., who were trans- ferred or discharged before remain- ing for any length ol lime. The rowing crew made a suc- cessful journey to Gallups Island Radio School in Boston Harbor on J uly 4. Racing in two boats, they trounced the trainees, i hough later were defeated in a c lose decision on Lewis Bay. Pelosi took over Bat Adj in late July and carried out the post ad- Page Forty-Four mirably. During the cruise he was upped to top man and led us through graduation exercises as Battalion Commander. We thought V-E day was an ex- cuse for levity, but V-J day will be remembered always by all hands at MMA. At times it was doubted il we could march around the circle again, but Toot said it was a stirring exhibition. The passing of Labor Day brought with it the usual abrupt end of the Hyannis summer season, and the beginning of the football season. The team had been prac- ticing since mid-summer in prep- aration for the first bona fide schedule with real opposition. Anderson was back, this year as captain, along with Mike Marroc- co and Wilder. Bolster and Vil- lano made envious records for them- selves. The team toured to West Point and Annapolis to play their respective plebe teams, and at both places were cheered on by the Com pany Commanders, who made the trip on their own . . . Duffy never did find The way to Po ' kipsie! The season was ended with a sterling banquet in the assembly hall, replete with good speakers and good food. And, of course, studies contin- ued. We took on new subjects — Maritime Law, Stowage, and the in- tricacies of ballistics in gunnery. During the trip back from the Camp Edwards rifle range Bull Martin ' s car was almost sunk in a deluge of milk. The professor from Michigan didn ' t appreciate the an- tics and decided to clamp clown on us — he left shortly after. In the demerit race Scudz was a hair ahead, followed closely by Mike, Swede, Charlie Swing-Out, and numerous also-rans who had only been hit once or twice by the Century Club membership com- mittee. Again we looked forward to our 1 0-day Christmas leave. All was well until a certain evening shortly before leave commenced when an evening ' s revelry came to a tragic ending — another member left us soon after. The Chosen 38 had been whittled down to 37. Bull spent the holidays in Hyannis after a costly visit to the local theatre avec sa femme . . . With return from leave came genuine anticipation of a cruise which was going to take us out of Long Island Sound and which, in fact was to include West Indian and other Carribbean ports. We were Page Forty-Five to cruise aboard the American Sea- man instead of the Pilot (for obvi- ous reasons). All hands proceeded to procure vast quantities of Skol, a Spanish Primer, and the usual necessities to till the sea chests — 4 white collars, 1 belt, black, etc. We managed to squeeze by inspections by the beg, borrow or steal method, and prepared lor our pre-cruise leave of 18 clays. Before leaving there was staged a reproduction of the Sepoy Rebellion. The G.I. cans took quite a pounding! We returned from leave on March 1 and found w r e had been assigned to the American Mariner for the cruise instead of the Seaman. The morning of departure dawned bright and confusing as the entire battalion boarded the ship in tw r o shifts at the State Pier in Buzzard ' s Bay. Underfoot were gear and par- ents requiring storage and inspec- tion guidance, respectively. At 1800 all lines were cast off and on the return trip through the Canal we had one last lingering wave to par- ents and afriends ashore, as well as a last look at Cape Cod until June and graduation. Before Hen and Chickens light- ship was astern we were under a watch routine, and it took only hall the distance to Charleston to realize that the Long Island cruise was never like this. There w r ere sights, azimuths, sights and more sights! We were told, It ' s all for your benefit, so get out on the wing and get a fix on Sirius! Down in the engine room, the boys from I E kept the recips in running order, though Bobby Boo was convinced that boilers could operate without water. Adjustment to our tasks was ab- sorbing enough to make it seem that in no time the hook was let go in Charleston. The MM A. along with 50,000 sailors, spent the next few days learning if it ' s true what they say about Dixie and dis- covered the sweet magnolias do blossom. But like good boys we didn ' t allow southern hospitality to delay our return to the ship by 2100, even if we had to catch a running boat or swim! From here on in our letters home must have sounded like Life Goes on a Cruise, but what we learned was more than a ge ography lesson. The first Carribbean port of call was St. Thomas in the Vir- gin Islands, the home of the fam- ous rum which is reputed to cure anything from mosquito bites to headaches. One of the lasting impressions of St. Thomas will be our introduction to the reality of travelogue pictures of tossing coins to native divers. Main were the spendthrifts who during turn-to tossed their last nickels. While dis- tracted by the natural beauties of the topography of the island, its white sandy beaches, ideal swim- ming, the original rum and Coca Cola, tourist meccas and fast-speak- Page Forty-Six ing natives, we were constantly alerted by mad drivers who made life confusing to us by driving on the left hand side of the street. Blinded by this comparative Paradise on Earth, we were dis- appointed in San Juan ' s drabness, although enjoyed its hospitality. The same friendliness met the MM A at Kingston, Jamaica. The band boys doubled in brass by playing at a U.S.O. dance. While we turned mental financiers in or- der to use the English money, we were able to talk a universal lan- guage with the natives by trading everything from tin cans and old shoes to pants for articles of island interest and value. The experiences of something new, strange languages, customs, geographic wonders filled personal logs, letters and minds at each sub- sequent port of call. Highlights for us were many, but universal in appeal was the Big Ditch, the locks, dense jungles, tax-free pur- chases in Colon and the poverty re- flected in the city. We met a few hot tomales during the stay at Vera Cruz, and seemed lost with the native twang heard in Galves- ton. We were back on foreign land again when we dropped the hook in Havana and discovered there and at Bermuda that travel folders tell only half the story — the MM A men can now tell the other half of scenic and other beauties. So ended our two formative years at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. As noted in the Log, each day brought witli it a new twist, so to speak, to provoke in later years a fond reminiscence. Now, as we take our departure on the voyage of life, let us put all of this, our life at the academy, to good use for a steady course to our ultimate destination. O. O. W.

The former, led b y. strok e- men Ma rrocco and Strand were never challenged at any time from start to finish, and as a result gained the first leg of the cup to be retained by the winners of a two-out-of-threc series. They also were rewarded with identification bracelets from Captain Reed, Superintendent of the base. Extra liberty for the win- ners was also a well-appreciated gift. The second of these races took place in Lewis Bay at Hyannis on a somewhat different basis. One Formed as an outfit to compete against the Gallup ' s Island Crew of future radio operators, the rowing crew, which spent a feverish two weeks in preparing for their first encounter in Boston Harbor, found the fruits of their efforts in a deci- sive victory, with both of MMA ' s boats taking first and second, re- spectively. Starting against a head wind and current, the craft coxswained by White hauled away from the others, closely followed by the Muldoon- coxswained crew, leaving both Gal Page Fifty-Six crew raced in whaleboats, and the first crew in the cutters for the cup competition. Rowing over a mile and a quarter course proved too tiring for the relatively inexperi- enced cutter crew, as well as a fatal mix-up concerning the exact loca- tion of the finish line. The whale- boat oarsmen took the sting off the major defeat by thoroughly win- ning over the ' Sparks. Coxswained by Simon, they were congratulated by Commodore Bassett and re- ceived prizes for their efforts. Much of the success of the crew was due to the efforts of Lieutenant Commander Roscoe, who coached the outfit in preparation for their first race, and was aided by strong- men Wendler, Wilder, Cohan and Marno.

With Captain Swede Anderson, Mike Marrocco, and Red W ilder heading a group of returning lettermen, the Aca- demy planned to start iis second year of organized football. We were ver for- tunate to obtain the services of Coach Bob Shertzer from the Navy physical training program. Alter many weeks of hard practice, the squad was cut down to 31 players. On a fine, cloudless Saturday afternoon, we took the field against a potent Tufts B team at the Tubs Oval. Up until the waning 24 seconds ol the game, the Mariners clung to a slim 8 to 6 lead, and looked well on their way to an opening game victory. However, a long touch- down heave in those closing seconds spelled our doom. The final count being 13 to 8. Coach Shertzer was able to pic k out and correct many of the Haws of the players, and a successful season was looked lor. The team journeyed to New Hamp- shire to tackle Exeter, making the second time in as many years that the two schools had met. Living up to all their predictions, the Mariners clouted the Exonians to the tune of 33 to 13. The backfield sparked by the smooth running of Phil Bolster and excellent blocking of Mike Marrocco, together with a deter- mined line led by Capt. Swede Anderson and Chink Villano dominated the action throughout the contest. Two long weeks passed before our first major contest against the Plebes of W est Point arrived. The Coach drilled his charges constantly throughout that per- Page i ' ijly-Nine iod in order to bring the team up to its peak. The Large, speed) Plebe team proved too much for the smaller Acade- m forces, and we bowed L ' O to (i. The offensive power of the Mariners was greatl) weakened due to the loss of Mike Marrocco through a head injury and PTTiT Holster who pulled a muscle in Iiis leg. The team played very well and never, at any time, was out-fought. Alter their set-back at the hands of the Plebes at the Point, the squad was deter- mined to bounce back into the win col- CAPTAIN ANDERSON umn against the Middies ol Annapolis. The game was played at Baltimore on Navy Day. The Middies employed a two-team system and this, along with a heavier line, completely outclassed the Mariners 33 to 6. Much valuable exper- ience was picked up by the team against these two service elevens and the boys pointed lor their last two contests. The footballers ticked to Andovcr to take on the Blue and W hite in what was be one of the best games of the season Page Sixty lor both teams. The Mariners and the Andover boys battled to a (i to (i tic un- der the most adverse weather conditions. A heavy downpour of rain and a gusty wind slowed down the offense of both teams. We came from behind in the final period to score the tying marker on a pass from Mike Misogaines to Bill Park- er. The try lor the extra point was blocked and with it went our chances of breaking the tie. A passing salute must be given to our band who played throughout the contest, rain and all. Determined to win its dual game of the season for Comdr. E. A. Ellis, retiring Director of Athletics, the Mariners were all set to go at full speed to down the B ' team of Jawn Harvard. After a spirit- ed fust hall, we were trailing by a 7 to f count. Scoring a safety in the third per- iod. Harvard led 9 to (i going into the hnal period. Refusing to accept deleat. tne Academy rallied and punched across the winning tally. Thus, we closed our 1015 grid season with a 13 to 9 victory. The close of a successful season on the gridiron brought with it an equally-successful banquet held in the assembly hall of the administra- tion building on the evening of December 6, 1945. Plans for the affair were under the enthusiastic direction of Com- mander Ellis, who personally di- rected each intricate detail in prep- aration for the lavish dinner con- sisting of a main course of turkey avec les ' fixings, and served by a bevy of attractive young ladies. The hall itself, which was appropriately decorated in a football season motif, complete with large pennants containing the scores of all the games, and a panoramic view of a football held, was a credit to t he- Decorating Committee, with Der- derian in charge. But all was not the satisfying of hungry appetites — the thought of the usual after-dinner speakers made more than one of us say a mute prayer to make it short. We were happily mistaken, however; Commander Thompson, toastmas- ter of the evening did a commend- able job. He gave us an extremely interesting resume of athletics here at the Academy and drifted back through the years, telling of base- ball games played in practically every foreign port of the world, be- tween teams of the old schoolship, and how they always had the neces- sary spirit, as well as ingenuity to get a team together on the moment and not only play a game — but play it well, and come out on top. He stressed the value of athletics in an institution such as MMA, and as- sured all that he, and many others were at that very moment working on an expansion system, involving more and better equipment, and building up of large and impressive s( hedules for teams next year. Commander Thompson was fol- lowed on the speaker ' s platform by two loyal rooters for the team dur- ing the past fall: Theodore L. Storer, and Judge Franklin W. L. Miles, •who in turn expressed their congratulations to the squad and coach, and appreciation for their enjoyment at the many games at which they were always found to be among the lusty rooters. Then came the hit of the eve- ning in the person of Swede Nel- son, former coach of football at Harvard. A talented speaker, he kept the entire body ' s attention with his numerous witty anecdotes, and varied other situations occur- ring during his long period in the coaching game. He turned the pro- gram over to Buddy Shepard who put on his own show for us, featur- ing the old songs that everyone can sing, and gave out with a few popu- lar ones in the form of piano solos.

Third row, left to right: Moloney, O ' Neil Willis (Mgr.), Rudin, Wallace. With the return of four letter- men from last year ' s strong outfit, John O ' Neil, Rev Rudin, Mike Marrocco , and Les Gilson, the Mar- iners anticipated a fairly successful season. Handicapped by the lack of a home court and other training facilities, the squad was slow in rounding into top-notch condition. Many new faces battled for starting positions and among them were Maloney, Simmons, Misogaines, Sutcliffe, Tarullo, Reed, and Wal- lace. The managerial duties were handled expertly by playing-mana- ger Dick Scudder and hard-working Herb Willis. The team was only assembled for about ten days, when the flyers at Otis Field requested a game. Knowing that our inexperienced squad needed the scrimmage, the game was arranged. The Academy five displayed early strength and led at the end of the first half. Tiring badly in the later stages of the clos- ing half, we bowed by the count of 46-31. Our next game proved that we were not yet ready for college com- petition. Playing against one of the country ' s outstanding five, the Rhode Island State Rams, we were buried to the tune of 119-38. In an effort to snap his team out of their losing streak, Coach Shert- zer revamped his charges for the game against Camp Edwards. The vast expanse of playing court and Page Sixty-Three superior height of the soldiers con- tributed to our downfall by the score of 38-2 I . Two weeks of intense practice was held before our next game against the Barnstable Town ream, one of the outstanding amateur outfits on the Cape. The game was nip and tuck all the way. The play of Maloney and Gilson led the Mariners to their first win of the campaign. The final score at the gun was 33-21. After at last being returned the vie tors, the Academy five looked for a successful conclusion to the re- maining games on the schedule. These spirits were slightly damp- ened by the Military Police at Camp Edwards to the tune of 40-26. O ' Neil and Marrocco stood out for the Mariners in defeat. The main objective of the sea- son was the following week at And- over. Displaying a fast-moving at- tack featured by a fast break, the prep school champions of New Eng- land proved too much for our five to match. After a close first half, the Mariners tired and were defeat- ed 55-28. Rudin proved to be a bearcat grabbing many rebounds oil the boards and stood out for our forces. Before a capacity crowd at Prov- idence, The Mariners took the Moor against an undefeated Brown Junior Varsity. The Academy moved into a quick lead and slowly the J.V. ' s whittled this margin down and leaped to the front at the half 28-20. The action was fast and furious in the second half, but the superior reserves of Brown spelled our de- feat. Coach Shertzer left the Acade- my before the conclusion of our season to return to civilian life as a coach of basketball and football in Ohio. Our squad was very fortun- ate in securing the services of Lieu- tenant Weber as a coach for the re- maining two games, and hoped to start him off with a win against the Barnstable Town Team in a ret urn match. The game was slowly played during the first half and the score- was tied 16-16 at the end of the first . . . AND BREAK FAST! 20 minutes of play. Scoring became more predominant in the second half and at the conclusion of the third quarter, the Townies clung to a small lead. The Mariners were successfully staved off in the last quarter, finally bowing 4 1-34. Muc h credit must be given to Coach Weber as the team played its best game of the season, but due to poor officiating couldn ' t come from he- hind. Our schedule was completed against a veteran outfit of men from the Convalescent Hospital at Camp Edwards. However, these players were far from being convalescents as they displayed the best passing attack seen by the Mariners all sea- son. The final score was 67-28. Dick Scudder made his debut in the blue and gold of the Academy but w r as not strong enough alone to stem the soldiers ' advance. O ' Neil was Page Sixty-Four outstanding in the scoring depart- ment for the team. Thus ended our second season of organized basketball. Although not too successful a season, the team is strengthened by the fact that all but five first classmen, O ' Neil, Ru din, Marrocco , Scudder, and Gilson return next year. With one full season under their belts this group should give us a winning five next year. Best of luck fellows. MARINER QUINTET IN ACTION Page Sixty-Fixie JQlfoLe ' Team RIFLE TEAM Front row, left to right: Usen, Geary, Jones. Back row: Torrey, Pierpont, Beaulieu. Law and Thompson absent. The rifle team was reorganized in November of 1945, for the en- joyment of those who have sharp eyes and a liking for the sport of making a shot go through the bulls-eye. They practised in the recreation hall, which was set up with butts for the .22 bore rifle range, and were under the faculty direction of Lieut, (jg) Guns Weber, who attempted to iron out his squad ' s weak points in the off- hand and prone positions. During the major portion of their season, they contested among them- selves, mostly due to lack of local competition, but in the latter part of January participated in a match against Tabor Academy in Marion. It was their first match against an outside group, and as a result of their nervousness were nosed out by a score of 1340 to 1298. Beaulieu showed well, leading the team with a total score of 268. Other mem- bers of the outfit in this contest were Geary, Jones, Usen. and Law. Just before leave prior to the c ruise they fired against New Bed- lord High School ' s Junior R. (). T. C. unit, and defeated the Aran olli- cer trainees by a considerable mar- gin. Law and Jones were key men in the winner ' s attack, with aggre- gate scores of 182 and 178 respec- tively. There is a possibility ol more matches being arranged lor the rifle team, which should tend towards .in impressive schedule in the future.

On four occasions during our last year, the routine of training was broken by a series of very enjoyable dances. On these occasions many debonair midshipmen were seen about the Academy escorting their attractive young ladies. The strains of popular music filled the air and the buildings resounded with jovi- alty, as happiness was the order of the evening. Both officers and mid- shipmen joined in to make each of these dances a grand success. But one must look beyond die evening of the dance to understand the reason for their success. With- out the long, hard, and sometimes discouraging work of the dance committees on decorations, refresh- ments, and countless other details, the dances could never have achieved such a high degree of per- fection. The value of our own dance or- chestra was evident; it became a familiar sight to see a group of mu- sicians, instruments in hand, march- ing to the assembly hall for daily practice — which was quite success- ful, judging from their dreamy ren- dition of Stardust. or a mopping up of the deck with 920 Special. To Charlie Gerbasi and all of his boys we give our sincere thanks; Page Seventy-Two i hey sacrificed their opportunity to dance, though they probably en- joyed watching the others make a sad attempt at it . . . The night of July 20, 1945, one of those balmy summer evenings, was the night chosen for our first dance, which was sponsored by the First Class Deck. The hall was or- nated in a marine motif. The first things to catch the eye in the hall were the painted fish and various other marine inhabitants engaged in underwater activities. We are led to believe they were bred through the efforts of Midshipmen Kokins and Don Hartog, two of our capable artists. The couples were introduced to the reception line, composed of Commodore and Mrs. Bassett (who incidentally, cut quite a figure on the dance floor). Com mander and Mrs. Thompson, other officers and their wives, including Lieut. Commander and Mrs. Mc- Nulty, advisor for the dance. The rest of the evening was left to the individual couples, who took ad- vantage of the music, refreshments, and the fine view from the flying bridge! Mdsns. Gerbasi, Casey, and Hopkins formed a talented trio and played modern versions of familiar tunes. The cadet committee for the affair was under the direction of White and Knight and were assisted by Gilson and Strand. The First Class Engineers evi- dently enjoyed the July dance lor they quickly set Aug. 31 as the date lor another dance, which the} ' were to sponsor. For a period of two weeks before the dance, members of IE were seen working on plans, or carrying decortions to the hall. Great mystery surrounded the prep- arations, and our anticipations were well-founded as was later proved. This section is particularly proud of the fact that all the work was accomplished by the group, with no outside aid. On the west side of the hall was a large drawing of a brawny engi- neer, complete with oil can and wrench ready for action. In the center of the overhead hung a life ring, with blue and white streamers symmetrically placed from the ring, while blue and red spotlights blend- ed to give a Deep Purple effect. Refreshments were served by an efficient group of confined cadet waiters. YOU DANCE DIVINELY! Aside from the dancing, two special events were planned; during intermission, King of the Korn Rndin with Casey, Dennett, Shan- non, and Graham combined their talents to form a group known as the Ink Spots complete with ink- bedecked shirts. In passing, the skit proved to be what the producer terms a sophisticated burlesque. Chief Warrant Gunner Sciscinger, who left the Academy to retire from the Navy was later presented a gift by Battalion Commander Gilson in Page Seventy-Three behalf of the battalion. The re- mainder of the evening was devoted to dancing, etc. The committee, tinder the di- rection of Lieut. Commander El- liot, deserves much credit, and in- cluded Chairman Pelosi with Mar- rocco, Martin, Derderian, and Laro. SWING ' N SWAY October 18th was the date for the Harvest Hop sponsored by the Second Class. The committee was under the direction of Lietit. Commander Mc Mullen, and in- cluded Mdsn. Morrison, chairman, Edwards, Coady, West, Garon, Ab- rahamson and Nye. To match the season, the hall was adorned in a harvest manner. The orchestra was under the direction of Mdsn. Fla- herty; Westerberg acted as Master of Ceremonies. The usual tempt- ing array of refreshments were served. An extra novel event was added to the spirit of festivities in the choosing of a Harvest King and Queen. All the couples formed in a grand march and paraded before the reception line; the prizes were Paee O awarded to Mdsn. Casey and his es- cort, and presentations were made by Commodore Bassett. The final affair of the season was in the form of a patriotic Armistice Day Dance, given by the Third Class. The center of the overhead was decorated with a large Ameri- can flag, surrounded by red, white and blue crepe paper. The warm gaiety in the Hall offered a sharp contrast to the stormy night out- side. The library was used for a lounge, with divans and modernis- tic chairs to provide comfort. The entire evening was left to the couples. The refreshment stand tinder the management of Man- ning, DeVarennes, Butler, Buckley and McCoubrey, provided the main attraction. A special bus gave transportation to Boston for thirty midshipmen and one girl! It is wondered if Mdsn. Pierce appre- ciated the situation. Thanks are given to the committee under the guidance of Commander Manuel, with McLeod, Wagg, Jones. Mans- field and Cole, for creating such an en joyable evening. The Academy ' s social season was nothing short of a tremendous success. The Committees deserve credit for making possible the en- joyable occasions. They took the opportunity to make use of a bit of Yankee ingenuity which was definitely needed, with such an in- auspicious start. A. M. Wolfe Seventy-Four Hand Initialed by members of the Third Class during our first cruise, the band is made up of midshipmen from each class and is directed by Gerbasi. The outfit was first tutored by midshipmen alone, but early in the summer was taken over by Mr. Samuel Griffith, musical director of Barnstable High School, who did a commendable job in sweetening up the band ' s sour notes. They practised dur- ing their own time, and every arrange- ment was corrected and revised by the midshipmen. It was on graduation day, June 27. 1945, that their debut was made, in parading for the Review before num- erous dignitaries of the Commonwealth, as well as the Navy; from that time on the band was in continuous demand around the town of Hvannis to pla at various civic and social gatherings. They were in a series of musical programs over radio station WOCB, and as a result be- came a group known to practically every- one on Cape Cod. The band was called out to parade in the V-J Night celebra- tion, and participated in the Horror Parade Hallowe ' en night. They played at main of the football games during the football season, including Tufts, Har- vard, and Andover. The dance orches- tra, which performed with merit at the dances, was made up of members of the band. Let us not forget the countless Friday afternoons they kept the battalion in step, to the strains of Anchors A weigh, The Thunderer, etc. It is expected thev will perform on the Second Cruise, and perhaps give out with a few Latin- American melodies. CRESCENDO, BOYS! Page Seventy-Five MUSTER STAFF Front row, left to right: Gilson, White, Martin, Pelosi. Bock row: Wolfe, Molinowski, Kokins, Strand, Rudin. A worthy project inaugurated by the class which graduated in June of 1945, the yearbook has con- tinued this year under the direction of members of the present First Class, with the guidance of enthu- siastic Lieut. Commander McNulty. A book of this type is brought forth for the enjoyment of those who have gone through the grind at the Academy. It is designed to commemorate the numerous events that took place during their train- ing; some with a twang of humor, other; having a more melancholy or sentimental value. The book is primarily by and for those who have gone through, but in a small sense NEED MORE PICTURES Page Seventy-Six may serve as a criterion for the lower classes who will soon find themselves in the same position as we who are to go out into the Held that we have chosen, and who also may look upon the Muster as a real book of memoires . . . This year the staff worked as a small group, with Don While as Editor-in-Chief, efficiently aided by .Associate Editor Chick Knight. It was at first a matter of ' starting from scratch ' as the former staff left practically nothing to work with, except the fact that they had pub- lished a yearbook. As a result, we did some real work. There were occasions when all concerned were willing to throw up their hands in despair, but somehow things seemed to emerge in a satisfactory condi- tion (at least that is our conten- tion!). ONLY A QUARTER PAGE? LET ' S HOPE IT BALANCES We set up office in the C.P.O. quarters, and it was there that most of the resultant work was accom- plished, though in rather cramped space, with White and his ever- noisy typewriter, Les Gilson at- tempting diligently to acquire more ads, and Ted Strand complete with ledger, check book, et al. To those who will carry on, it is the hope of the entire staff that the work which they so earnestly went through will continue to bear fruit in years to come, with bigger and better Musters.

Back row, left to right: Pierpont, Pelosi, Malinowski, Laro. The Full and By, the periodical of the Academy, is published for the enjoyment of the battalion of mid- shipmen, and is edited by a staff of men from each class. In addition to covering the ac- tivities around the school, the maga- zine has consistently served as a voice of those to whom it is directed and has acted as a medium of com- munication between the adminis- tration and the battalion. Close touch is kept with gradu- ates in the alumni column; a section of the book is devoted to the gradu- ates of the Nantucket, and the Aca- demy at its shore base in Hyannis. Humor in the Full and By has done much to uplift the morale of its readers. By popular demand T he Adventures of Pennybuckle has been continued during the past term. Due to inovations of this year ' s issues, including a larger size, a special section has been devoted to advertisements, donated by local merchants. Lieut. Commander Mc- M alien has served ver abl in the capacity of advisor, and to him t he- present staff owes a vote of grati- tude. Pelosi did much to keep up the work, often under difficult cir- cumstances.

It has been an honor to record the events of the past two important years in this book — an honor because we have full confidence that each member of the class is po- tentially the best in his field. The two years were important ones in that we now have a basis for a career and have learned, in a small sense, that life is a definite struggle in which only those with a will sur- vive . . . We wish to convey our heart- felt thanks to Lieut. Commander George S. McNultv, who acted as advisor to the start. He lifted us out of many hopeless situations; helped us when we needed help and, on the other hand, encour- aged originality. To the First Class, for cooperation towards their book, to the remainder of the battalion, the faculty, the American Press, who printed the book, to the photographers. Mr. Colby and Mr. DiVenuti, we offer our gratitude. Final thanks are due our adver- tisers, who have materially added to the success of the book. We invite your attention to their pages.

Sperry Radar has been conceived to function better in this funda- mental service: To enable ships to operate on schedule regardless of visibility... through thick fog, heavy rain, dense smoke, darkness. As an aid to navigation it picks up channel markers and buoys: as- sists in making landfalls with assur- ance; spots icebergs, floating dere- licts and other hazards projecting above surface. It also permits vessels to enter harbors and proceed with all due safety and caution through fog. Another important feature: Sperry Radar provides a Gyro-Com- pass-controlled image and can be operated by bridge personnel with- out extensive technical background. In design and construction, Sperry Radar reflects this company ' s many years of experience in precision manufacture of marine equipment — as well as its outstanding achieve- ments in the field of electronics. In simplicity and dependability, this new Radar exemplifies again Sperry ' s ability to build superior products for merchant ship service. Sperry Radar Features: • Designed to meet all Class A specifications of the U. S. Coast miles Guard. • Maximum range 30 minimum, 100 yards. • 10-inch picture on a 12-inch screen. • Images presented in true or relative relationship at option of operator. • Gives accurate ranges read from indicator instead of esti- mated from scope. • Hacked by world-wide service.
