In accordance with established tradition and our own desires to record our share in the Academy, we have duly racked our brains, worn out our shoes, burnt the midnight oil, and generally made a nuisance of ourselves in order to produce the MUSTER.

DlElDllCATllUN With deep sincerity we, the graduating class of 1950, deem it fitting and proper to dedicate this issue of the MUSTER jointly to Mr. Hodsdon and Mr. Clark for their tutelage, understanding, and guidance during our stay at the Academy. ' M r. H odsdon: By virtue of his close association with the Midship- men, we have learned to appreciate his many accomplishments. His patience, sense of humor, and ability in athletics contributed im- mensely toward our respect for him. A M r. Clark: His popularity among the Midshipmen stemmed from his unsellish concern for our welfare. In appreciation of his able guidance as class advisor and faculty advisor of the MUSTER, we extend to him a hearty well done. i-iisrokr or THE MZADJEMY JJ, 7' Massachusetts is a state of seafarers - of Whalers, merchantmen, and clippers. Hence it was logical for her to establish her own N autical School in 1891. The school's first ship, the bark ENTERPRISE, set out on her voyages in 1893 with the first class to start the two-year course leading to a maritime career. In 1909 the RANGER, a barkentine, replaced the ENTERPRISE. Renamed the NANTUCKET by the Navy, she served the school faithfully for many years until World War II, when she was retired from active service and sent to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. After the attack on Pearl Harbor the Government shortened the course to sixteen months and increased the enrollment, in order to pro- vide more skilled officers for our desperately-needed ships. To accom- modate these additional men the Academy had to have a shore base. In July, 1942, the site at Hyannis was occupied. MeanWh1lC cruises were made in Maritime Commission ships. With the end of the war great changes occurred. A new three-year curriculum was introduced, and the class of 1949 was the first to r6- ceive the degree of Bachelor of Nautical Science under it. On the 1948 cruise the Academy sailed to San Francisco to board the new ship, the USTS CHARLESTON Qex-PG-51 Proudly WC sailed her home to Buzzards Bay and tied her up at the State Pier, her permanent berth. At the end of the 1949 cruise, which took us all around the Carib- bean and to New Orleans for Mardi Gras the location of the Academl' . , 9 u , yvas shifted to the State Pier. Now great plans are under consideration or expansion of facilities here. h In our time we have seen the old school carry on her function and s ow r ' enewed vigor. Long may she prosper.

DEVER GOVERNOR .Ianuary 13, 1950 To the Graduating Class of 1950: As Governor of the Commonwealth I am pleased to express to the senior class the greetings of our citizenry through the medium of the class publication The Muster . For almost six decades the Maritime Academy has been preparing young men for important careers at sea -- young men who because of superior physical, mental and educational qualifications have been carefully selected to receive a tech- nical and practical training in the nautical sciences which will enable them ultimately to attain the highest and most responsible positions in maritime service. The Commonwealth is proud of the past record of the Academy and its graduates. For over a half century the latter fyour predecessorsj have brought honor to themselves, to the Academy and to our great state. They have served with distinction in capacities varying from Junior officers on deck and in the engine room to Captain and Chief Engineers in our government maritime agencies and private shipping companies and finally their record of wartime service is outstanding. Therefore, may I assure you that your fellow citizens while proud of the past record are confident that you will equal, if not surpass itg and may I join with you in thanking the citizens as well as the federal governrnent whose combined efforts have kept the Academy in the forefront of maritime education in America.

Since then he has been with the school, except for a tour of Navy duty during the war. Mr. Rounds's ability as a teacher of naviga- tion is proven by the calibre of the deck graduates who have studied under him. COMMANDER LOUIS A. WOODLAND, USNR Commander Woodland graduated from the schoolship as cadet master in 1929. Having shipped out until 1934, he returned to the school as watch ofiicer.

You are the tempered and tested product -- men well trained in an arduous and rewarding profession - that of going to sea. I know you will be masters of the sea, for you have sought her out, served an ardent apprentice- ship, and learned her secrets well. We hope you will always be as proud of the Academy as we are, for it has a heritage unsurpassed by any other Maritime School in the world. God-speed and good sailing. Most sincerely yours, JULIAN D.

'KI The cruise, briefly, began on a cold day in January and ended on an even colder day in April. We acquired considerable skill, operating three different ships and handling and stowing cargo as practiced by the Phoenecians. 1 ew W F l ' oath!

FOOTBALL Although the record of the 1949 season was not an impressive one, we who cheered the team on despite its setbacks knew the full story. That Coach Harrington was able to field a team at all was a tribute to his perseverence and enthusiasm. Last year we had a field at our dis- posal, this year Mr. Harrington had to search quite a while before he could find a suitable pasture for us to practice in. He improvised dressing facilities in a barn near the field. It was small wonder, then, that the team was off to a late start. However, with the able assistance of co-captains Young and Curry, the coach had an enthusiastic, fighting aggregation ready for its first game. r X QXZKQW.. ..,,, X V H wiww--yfJF4510iFb,s1n.-...... ..,. is W. , -. - .v.. .

But the inevitable injuries to be ezipected of an incompletely-trained team took their toll. Viviano got three cracked ribs and guard foe Pisciuneri fractured his hand. In the third period quarterback Roy Shaugh- nessy twisted his knee. Consequently, with several of our best men- benched, New Bedford was able to pass for two touchdowns, although We spoiled their tries for point each time. Then Captain Young twisted his ankle in the fourth period. We were all satished that without the injuries we would perhaps have beaten New Bedford, instead of losing by a ITICTC 12-O. PHILIPS ANDOVER We traveled to Andover determined to start winning. But two fumbles by us dur- ing the hrst half became touchdowns for Andover, making the score 13-O. That was the final score. Although we held them scoreless from then on we were unable to capitalize on the opportunities we had to turn in tallies. Again, we lost one of our best men when Big Bill Panora suffered an ankle injury. C hub Coburn was superb on the offensive, while Dick Moore, Mauky McHale, and Red Curry starred defensively. at if V I if :fm :J NICHOLS JUNIOR COLLEGE Hard-hit by injuries, the Mariners traveled to Webster for their first night game. VVe soon realized that we had met a powerhouse, for we were steamrollered 33-O. Coach Harrington used many sub- stitutions in order to give his injured players a good rest.. Despite the score, the team showed a righting spirit until the end, disputing each yard of territory grimly. The attitude of the team boded well for our next game. LEICESTER JUNIOR COLLEGE With the team back to full strength we found out what it felt like to be a steam- roller. Poor Leicester pulled the lean end of a 33-0 score. Dave Kaye carried the ball over three times, while B and Roy Shaughnessy each tallied once. Kaye and Young rushed two of the extra points, and Roy Shaughnessy each tallied once. Kaye and Young rushed two of the extra points, and Roy Shaughnessy passed 'to Dick Gietek for the third one. Two of the touchdowns were set up by Dave Olson's brilliant long runs throu h S the middle of the line.

Aided by the brilliant passing of All-State quarterback Armand Columbo, Dean scored on three passes while Dave Kaye pushed across our lone tally, with Tea' Young running the extra point across. Although the final score was 19-7, we knew that the team was getting set for a win, from the way in which it smothered Dean's attempts to gain on the ground. We should mention Art Pankop's handy work as blocking back, who mowed down enemy tacklers. MAINE MARITIME ACADEMY Our traditional rivals entertained us and defeated us this year again, by a score of 26-7. Maine's well-drilled team kept us out of reach of their goal-line most of the time, and their passes were just too much for us. Roy Shaughnessy passed to Gietek for our only score, and Ted Young ran for the extra point. Defensively we were good, with Burns, Hammond, Curry, and Pisciuneri playing particularly good ball. But their passes did the trick for them. We knew that we had been well-beaten when the game was over. ,z ' W - ' ' I ftf' -11 i l - ii ' ' A' . . .,.t,.A 5' 'S L -. . . l's' ' 4 A -5 IA I t' I if 'A I .

After several weeks of conditioning, the team began to take shape. The first class, due to graduate in June, dominated the starting positions, although several third classmen proved their worth early in the season. Some of the better teams of the fast Cape Cod League went down to defeat at the hands of the Mariners. Highlight of the spring season was the first trip of the baseball team to Portland, Maine. In a night-game before a capacity crowd we met the rival Mariners of Maine - and lost a tough one 3-2. We are determined to return and eventually gain permanent possession of the Governor's Cup. After graduation of the first class com- petition for the first nine was intense. Our schedule in the Upper Cape League was a tough one, and we took some time to reconstitute ourselves a team. However, by the end of the season we were firmly established as one of the better teams of the League. We lost a lot of close games, but the spirit was there, and we had our new uniforms to look good in. We finished the season in a burst of glory by defeating a very strong Sag21mOfC nine and eliminating them from the second half championship. That same night Cap- tain and Mrs. Wilson entertained us at their ho-me, where we were greeted by OUT loyal supporters among the officers. . It was a good season - one Wh1Ch promises well for the next year. ight the fa ll dllfai I gli I milf amf. owd we x d 'mined mallfnt 1 E l I I L I r Ll F ,Lf47'7,'f. f , l ,'?',fgv!:'- L 4' , , ,,,, V , 5 1 sts C X alfa? mffhi Lf' ' ' I HI' .f l Q ' 2 agar , ZW ' J ' Q fa I ff a ,' f 'aff-Y' Q , ',g:wLf f,,4 3'?:g42Z,.g,,wf, ' -fy, 7 f, 4 um Q 1 tttt y f t ' 5' 3 'H 'V I 0 M'7,,vff I f , , 'Qg2Zff7f lf, W, V LV all r'f'-Q, ,' V '- f ff f , , H V , K , ,ji i L ' . , , 'K 'bv 2 t '- ' ., A. 16,5 ' f ' lf 1 '-', - a amp- iv-. -'QE - ' f M305 TU? f ', -bg f,,g 411 C ifrffi f ' 2, ,Q ,. , K- 'L ' ' ' in 4 9' ' ' A , ,ai XM' A , 5 r.., L ,staff V K .K Vz,g'Zg7fZ'fQ 1 Q R al 3, : t.

Meanwhile we and our opposite numbers from Maine transferred all our gear onto the AMERICAN MARINER for the next leg of the trip. s -if Soon the MARINER'S mighty recip was pushing us slowly but surely across the Caribbean toward the Canal. In no time at all the deckmen discovered how to write their names in the shipis wake, turning back every so often to dot an 'fin or cross a t , Meanwhile, the engineers - not to be outdone - found ways of coaxing a few more turns from the bat- tered wheel of the ship.

As we approached the Big Ditch we held an abandon sack drill, for everyone wanted to see this feat of engineering. Bedecked with cameras, we all stayed top- side while the pilot jockeyed us through the narrow cuts and up and down the locks. Soon the broad Pacific received us, and we squared away for the run to Acapulco. 49 Amid the banging of chipping-hammers and the swishing of paint-brushes the now- gleaming MARINER swept regally into the beautiful land-locked harbor. Gleam- ing luxury hotels perched on the heights above us, while the town huddled under the now-useless guns of the ancient Spanish fort. We soon found our way to these pleasure domes, and, needless to say, we spent most of our time at them, drink- in the beauties of this famous resort. The rest of the time we spent swimming or bartering with the natives, who, 1nc1 dentally knew well the meaning of the verb if the number of Curios and non descript items that found their way aboard IS any criterion 1 I 1' 'Qfggf' FH e WMS? it N Xee' ,Neg ,, X.,, ' 'T , f+ t A' 1 With memories of luxury in our minds and left-over pesos in our pockets, we awoke to Hnd ourselves answering liberty call in Long Beach.

After a short, uncomfortable period we were in the Gulf Stream, and next we knew we dropped the hook in the sand of Great Harbor, Culebra Island. Culebra, a small island a few wet miles 'Camel 'U'--A 'K +A' southeast of Puerto Rico, is inhabited largely by uninhibited ponies - at least the contents of sick bay would so aflirm.

Finally, the second day out, we bounced our heaving-lines on the dock at Fort de France. Here the pressing ques- tion was: How many francs for a Hn? Having solved the problem we scattered in all directions, our pockets bulging with the answer. Some of us roamed through the Fort St. Louis, while others journeyed across the island to St. Pierre and to nearby Mount Pele. The more leisurely brethren swam and relaxed at the Club Nautique or the Air France Hotel. The dizzy speed of the taxis rounding the awful turns of the mountain roads amazed us until we realized that their tachometers were graduated in kilometers. 3' zz 141- ,,...ie,9r1-Sfzfsl f 2 ip rv. a l f-' I -1 i 1 , ff-sv 1 ,,,:.': u -'M . ..., , U A 4 -41,1 -' . -fu ,gf N ' ' 'im IQ ,V l yr hh its Q Of course, we started stocking-up at once. Gallons of perfume, multi-hued berets, and articles that may only be de- scribed as collectoris items disappeared into the ship. Finally, just as most of us were becoming hardened to the deafening noise of popping corks, liberty was over and we headed for Trinidad. The Caribbean was gentle, we were enjoying our new role as secondclassmen, and we were convinced that the sailor's life was worth something, as we headed for the island of calypso and rum. As we secured the lines with one hand and squared our,hats with the other for liberty, we could see the crowds of won- dering natives already forming on the dock of the Army Base in Port of Spain. Soon we were bargaining for everything from the Governor's mansion to a walking- stick. Those of us who escaped headed for the famous Pitch Lake or the Botanical Gardens, or holed up in one of the modern hotels. 4. 1- my lf 9 I Soon we moved to the Naval Operating Base to refuel. Most hospitably greeted by our ambassadors-in-uniform, we returned the Welcome by defeating their baseball team 6-O. Then time was up, and we sailed on to the Dutch island of Curacao, with its very Dutch capital of Willemstad. Riding in the trough all the way, we soon found out who were the boys aboard. The three days actually included only seventy-two hours, although they seemed interminable to some. As we en- tered the harbor a typical Dutch city appeared before our amazed eyes.

Fog at the mouth of the river delayed us awhile, but soon it lifted, and we were racing upstream toward Mardi Gras. That night we anchored off the city, and in the morning we tied up at Poydras Street Wharf. Tri' 7 A ,n ,, ics?-L-e . PM ug ' lefw 1'4 Y , L hair ,,.- if low- - fir' If J ., .4 , 2-'t 5j1'c,.

Since there was no way in which we could affect the proceedings, we wisely decided to lend a hand. We participated in 3 parade, making our debut on television, as some of our brethren who saw the show will testify. We explored this ancient, fascinating city thoroughly. The French Quarter took our fancy, particularly. The Propeller Club held a dance for us, and traditional Southern hospitality enveloped us. Mardi Gras Day passed, and the city rapidly returned to normal, the streets were again navigable. With the going of the revelry we went, too, slipping easily down the ninety miles of the Mississippi to the Gulf. . I ,rq . A gp Cr? 1 A ,, a '3' .- af' riff -I , 'wa lili lli.-' , Aw Iva., .

AS we headed for Mexico we brushed up our long-neglected Spanish, for Vera Cruz was our destination. Here indeed was a treasure-house of souvenirs - huaraches, scrapes, leather goods were crammed into our groaning lockers. The Mexican Mari- time Academy, whom we had entertained aboard ship, held a reception in our honor. It was the best party we had attended. The beaches and the sidewalk cafes, where marimba bands continually serenaded us, kept us happy during the remaining liberty. As the last peso was handed through the porthole for some last-minute article, 2224552 424255217 E the pilot again took over and we were underway for our next port - Galveston. Tying up near the worldas largest grain elevator, we again headed directly for liberty. This meant navigating our way over a railroad crossing. Apparently the railroad knew our liberty schedule, for they always Cmost considerately, we thoughtj had at least one long freight train blocking the crossing. Once this minor obstacle was surmounted, rapid dispersion set in. We had half-consciously expected a Western cow-town. We found instead a modern city complete with streets, side- walks, and buildings. Although there were no gun-totin' badmen visible, we soon encountered the mechanized version of same - the notorious one-armed bandits. Learning to avoid these mechanical pick- pockets, we went in search of less costly entertainment. Again, the Propeller Club came to our rescue with a dance - an unqualified success. l One interesting point discovered by a now-unpopular individual was that in this state you can't hang a horse-thief with a wooden leg. It was carefully explained to us that a rope was necessary. More un- pleasant news came when Last Chance Jonesw revealed to us that our stop at Havana had been cancelled because of international complications. This called for a replacement, and Kingston was chosen. Accordingly, our course was changed to pass again our old friend, Cape San Antonio Light. Again we 'cturned-ton' on the ship, whipping her into presentable shape. Soon we were tied up in Kingston and on our way ashore. Kingston we will remember for the Myrtlebank Hotel, an oasis in the desert, a haven from the peddlers and guides who insisted that we needed their wares. A dance was held for us, which we enjoyed. The inevitable souvenirs were added to our collection of loot. Many of us in- spected the sugar plantations and rum factories that dotted the island. Soon our time was up, and we shoved off, bound for Haiti. En route we stopped at Guantanamo Bay for fuel, staying only long enough to fill our tanks. As we entered the Gonave Channel under a brilliant sun we could see the two arms of land enclosing the bay. The coun- tryside, mountainous and green, refreshed our eyes as we approached Port au Prince. We liked this busy port, with its brawl- ing, noisy market-place where were dis- played every conceivable item of produce of the island. The mahogany ware at- tracted our fancy, and we loaded up, for perhaps never again would we find such beautiful pieces so inexpensive. 1' Zn, t f?r'wfi' 71:4 gift if'fzZ,'Q 'Q gil.

We enjoyed the hot, dry days, while we cursed the cool, showery nights. As we sailed out of Port au Prince everyone took a last sun-bath or two, for we were heading north. Each day was noticeably cooler as we passed Cape Maysi and proceeded up through Crooked Island Passage. We set our course for Bermuda as the weather got rougher, and we were glad when we finally anchored off Hamilton. Qiiil sci: Lin f lim if 5.z..'F1'.

Others simply occupied space at one or another of the numerous beach clubs. Because of the untimely demise of our evaporators we had to move to the U.S. Naval Operating Base for repairs. The well-stocked Ship's Service and other facilities were well-patronized while we worked on our plant. Soon departure-day arrived, and we set off again on the last lap.

There we tied up at the Naval Shipyard, while everyone enjoyed a ten-day leave. Then we got underway again with the Governor, his staff, and the Commissioners aboard, for a run up to Salem, so that they could see us apply the knowledge we had gained during the cruise. This formality completed, we iinally headed for our home-port.

We were to be made subject to Coast Guard Inspection, which meant numerous altera- tions, the most important of which was in- stallation of larger fuel-oil vents. In due course the engineers had com- pleted the job, and we sailed for Boston for hull-inspection, which we passed safely. At last, on March 23, we broke out our charts and crescent wrenches and put to sea. Numerous of us found ourselves disagree- ing with the perpendicular method of trasvel required by the gray Atlantic. Our casual strolls topside for a breath of fresh air deceived no one, however, and we stood our watches with a certain grim determination. In time the weather moderated and main- tenance began, both above and below decks. A number of engineers almost attained the distinction of the c'Custer cluster , until one of our number was finally awarded this coveted trophy for an amazing maneuver with the generators.

With the sun shining on a dancing sea we passed through the Pillars of Hercules and steamed into Gibraltar, mooring in the shadow of the Rock. Soon ashore, we swarmed over the town, responding to the friendly welcome we re- ceived. We toured the Rock, the Moorish Gastle, the Gibraltar Museum with its me- mentos of an ancient, bloody past. We could well understand why Gibraltar has been taken by siege only three times in the past twelve hundred years. Grim reminders of the recent war remained, too, to testify to the nickname of Watchdog of the Mediter- raneanf' The shops welcomed us, and we staggered back to the ship laden with the first of our souvenirs, and gifts. One deckman swears that he noticed a change of six inches in our draft after our last liberty.

We were guests of the Ecole Nautique and had them aboard for lunch, showing them all about the ship. The problem of language bothered us a good deal, but despite this numerous friendships were formed. We took the trip to the Chateau d'If, we climbed up to Notre Dame de la Garde, we attended the opera at the invitation of the management, we ate snails and bouillabaisse, we bought perfume. But time passed, and finally with a blast of the whistle and the whining of sextants the PG 51 stirred and moved out between the erumbling Roman fortifications of the Vieux Port, heading for Italy. it EM A short run past Elba brought us to Italy. No sooner had we tied up than half of us headed for Rome for a forty-eight-hour liberty.

One Of us- gained the enviable title of 'cStar of Algiers , thanks to an untrustworthy taxi- driver, just before we sailed on. A quick stop was made at Gibraltar again to refuel, and we tried to find places we had overlooked before. Unfortunately, the pOr'fS were coming too close together and raising financial havoc with even the most cautious Of us. So gladly we went on, out upon a smiling, blue Atlantic which reminded some US of Lake Winnepesaukee because of itS of smoothness. Again we were close to the centre. Again we were welcomed, this time with a cock- tail party in our honor given by the Algerian version of the Academy. Some of us attended a symphony concert of American music in the modern opera-house. We bought fezes, hassocks,' more perfume, souvenirs. The infamous Casbah, with its dank streets and alleys, its houses grown together over the pathways, its open-air markets, ripe with the odors of decayed mutton, its garbage collection- service consisting of a burro with huge straw panniers on its back, its slippered and turbaned inhabitants, in- trigued rriany of us. .-, . .

We soon found our way to the various sights of this important city, after the routine entry through customs. Fort San Cristobal, El Morro, La Marina, the Normandie, and the Caribe Hilton were soon swarming with Midshipmen eager fOI' new sights and a cooling swim. The San Juan Propeller Club held a reception and dinner-dance in our honor which we all enjoyed, and some few of us soon mastered the intricacies of the Casino. The second day of our stay we moved to the Navy Base to refuel, and while we were there we dressed-ship in honor of Armed Forces Day. That afternoon our tanks were full and we shoved off for Charleston. Halfway there we intercepted a distress- eall from a Dutch freighter, urgently request- ing a doctor for their captain, who had had a can of ehlorate of lime blow up in his face. Since we were the nearest ship we changed course and increased speed to meet the ship. Five hours later we met and transferred the captain by boat. Still maintaining speed, we headed for Charleston to get Captain van der Moolen to the hospital, while our doctor gave him emergency treatment. Eff ?

Indeed, some of thc inhabitants are goddesses them- sclvcs, if tcstimony to that effect can be belicvcd. Soon thc incxorablc schedule beckoned us on to Boston. Leaving a souvenir of our own - gray paint - on the timbers of the pier, we hcadcd north. Hatteras let us down, for we had been filling the young men with tales of mountainous scas and gale winds. The last night out there were many willing hclpcrs for the lookout. This was a symptom of that dread discasc, channel fever, for which the only known cure is liberty. Nan- tucket lightship was passed early in the evening, and soon we could sec the immense Hngcr of Highland Light. From there in we maintained speed to avoid an expcctfid fog. The booming diaphonc of Boston light- ship was passed, and we anchored in Presi- dent Roads until daylight. A short fl-In brought us to Commonwealth Pier at ab0Ul 0630, and the cruise was over.
