DEDICATION It is with a deep sense of pride that we come to dedicate our year- book. For it is now that we wish to pay tribute to a man who has given us the utmost of his time and energy. To Mr. Harrington, alone, do we owe our many fond memories of recreation and sportsmanship. We thank him sincerely as our coach, as our instructor, as our friend. Navy Department OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS Washington 25, D. C . Statement ; During wartime the Navy relies heavily on the Naval Reserve. You young men who train to become officers of our Merchant Marine contribute immeasurably to the ready value of the Reserve forces, for you are, in fact, an indispensable part of our fighting potential You have chosen an exacting and honorable career. The officers and men of the Navy join me in wishing you well on the occasion of your graduation and of all the increased responsibilities which go with it. Admiral, United States Navy Chief of Naval Operations — HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY- Almost a century has passed since our country began to look to the sea for her liveli- hood. In the year of 1891, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts became one of the first states in the nation to provide the Merchant Marine with able officers. In this year the Mass. Nautical School, fore-runner of the present day Mass. Maritime Academy, was established. Her first training ship was the bark Enterprise which for 16 years served as the instrument which helped to train young men in their future profession. Thoroughly familiar with the ways of the sea, these men went on to serve their country well in peace and in war. In 1909 a new ship, the barkentine Ranger later renamed the Nantucket, suc- ceeded in the tradition which by now was somewhat world renown. The Nancy made many world cruises planting the seeds of friendship in the many ports she touched.. Then the modern age was upon us. It was an age of industrialization hastened to a climax by the first World War. When it was over there followed an interim of desolation and depression. Despite attempts to abolish the school the proud canvas of the old Nan- tucket for two more decades continued to cross the oceans of the world. Then there was Pearl Harbor. A black cloud encircled the world and — war again. To keep pace with the increasing demand for Merchant Officers our school established a shore base at Hyan- nis and shortened the course. After the war the authorities lengthened the courses to three years and a college de- gree was awarded to graduates. The Massachusetts Maritime Academy, as it was now called, in 1948 acquired the gunboat Charleston. In an effort to bring ship and school together the Academy was moved to Buzzards Bay where the ship was berthed. Plans are now being drawn up for the enlargement of facilities at the State Pier. It is our sincere belief that so long as America maintains its Merchant Marine the Academy will produce the finest of officers to uphold the traditions of Massachusetts as a state of seafarers. SUPERINTENDENT REAR ADMIRAL JULIAN D. WILSON USN (RETIRED) After a long and distinguished service in the navy, Admiral Wilson was appointed Superintendent in 1949. Since his arrival he has earned the respect and admiration of all connected with the Academy. His interest in our social and athletic endeavors as well as our academic activities has shown itself in the position the Academy now holds in the maritime and educational fields. From: The Superintendent To: The Class of 1952 Subj: Congratulations and best wishes. 1. You are about to leave us, ready to test the tools we have given you during your time aboard the Charleston-- tools of knowledge, of professional competence, of high personal standards. 2. I have watched you through your three years, growing from boys uncertain of your worth to men sure in your ability and understanding. 3. Many have gone before you, to serve in ships of peace and of war, equipped with these same tools which we have given you. They have acquitted themselves well; they deserve well of their school. 4. I know that you also will steer a sure, wise course through our troubled world; and therefore I wish you every succes in your profession and particu- larly the deep satisfaction of a job well done.

Halloran, Vice-President, Sprague Steamship Company John Desmond, Commissioner of Education Warren B. Nott, Superintendent of Machinery and Trial Engineer, Bethlehem Steel Company, Fore River Captain Norman L. Queen, USMS, Supervisor, State Maritime Academies, Federal Maritime Board EXECUTIVE OFFICER CAPTAIN JOHN W. THOMPSON, USMS Executive Officer of the Academy and Commanding Officer of the Charleston, Captain Thompson has become a tradition at the Academy. Since 1912, he has served at various times in every admin- istrative capacity. He attained his present post in 1941. NAVIGATION AND SEAMANSHIP DEPARTMENT ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT Lieutenant (J.G.) Lee Harrington, USNR Mathematics, Athletic Director Lieutenant Charles L. Jaillet, MMA Spanish, U.S. in World History ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT LT. COMDR. JAMES M. MURRAY, USNR Mr. Murray, our Chief Engineer, through his tireless efforts has imbued in us a well rounded knowledge of turbines and recips. His friendly attitude and his daily greeting of Good Morning, Men showed his deep concern for us. We the class of ' 52 wish to express our thanks to Mr. Murray and wish him continued success in the years to come. COMPANY COMMANDER The Manomet Flamingo alighted on the Chun and was soon destined to become leader of the flock. Paul ' s ability to set the shining example affected many of us. His ardor for Fried Eggs was only excelled for his earnest desire for the Kiwi Co. ' s prosperity. All jesting aside, the Skip- per ' s ability to pilot our class will long remain in our memories. His valiant attempts at control- ling Rolo and vain cries of Let ' s get some sleep, fellows are long to be remembered. Paul J. Davidson Cape Cod Ave., Manomet Company Commander, Class Vice Pres., Basketball Cap- tain, Propeller Club. COMPANY ADJUTANT Edward A. Arcikowski 48 No. Pleasant St., Taunton Company Adjutant, Propeller Club. Archy, taller member of the Polish duet, swag- gered down route 28 from Taunton. His Take- it-as-it-comes-and-if-it-doesn ' t-come, go-get-it atti- tude caused his reputation as a cruise Lothaiio. Ed ' s romantic prowess was matched by his ability as a seaman and navigator, as his three stripes soon proved. A good organizer and leader of young men , Ski could never see why 3rd class- men wouldn ' t put their hearts in it . An easy- going nature and a ready ability to learn should carry Archy far as a deck officer. WILLIAM F. FITZPATRICK 5 Shirley St., West Concord Football, Baseball, Cadet Petty Officer, Propeller Club. A big PINK bubble of personality popped over the Academy one day and out jumped Fitzie. The triple-play ability of No. 6 soon became a legend in the minds of our opposition. Many times Pinky ' s questions extracted squeals of joy from Omar. His fans cheered him on with That ' s right Fitzpatrick, you ' re wrong again. His sparkling personality and earnestness gained him a place close to all our hearts during our term at M.M.A. DONALD J. FLYNN 39 Lockeland Ave., Arlington Class President, Cadet Lieut., Football, Baseball, Basketball Mgr., Propeller Club. After tiring of a lifetime of being chased by women, the Skipper of the Mallabarre II decided to give the troops a break and join our ranks. Loadstone ' s magnetic personality was soon felt by us all. Don ' s hat, though often mistaken for the running boat by Lopaus, still managed to keep it ' s salty 50-mission-crush and was a familiar sight in the fireroom. Many times on nights before a big dance his famous Don ' t worry, I ' ll get a girl to go brought screams of laughter from the troops. Because of his vast store of mechanical ability and sea lore we were not surprised to see this Marble- head Boilerman become the able leader of M division. NATHAN C. HOLWAY 60 Westmoreland Ave, Longmeadow Propeller Club, Century Club, Nate ' s closeness to the Captain was evident by their frequent tete-a-tetes at 1330 . . . There will be a Holway N. C. for the following named man. Bot ' s antics with Needle and Brow were overshadowed only by his affection for a certain Nice Old Man. After receiving his masters degree in Tonsorial Art , the barber of the Atlantic proceeded to become one of M.M.A. ' s most notorious dealers in C02. RICHARD F. HUBBELL 119 Birds Hill Ave., Needham Propeller Club. They are all just like trolleys; if you miss one, catch the next one. That ' s our Cal . Between cross country treks, Dear John ' s , and dreams of Florida deals Humphrey searched in vain for a flat soled shoe. However, this cute little fellow with the shiny cheeks through his untiring efforts in the machine shop did manage to acquire that coveted rate of crossed stilsons. DAVID P. LOPAUS 49 Ocean Ave., No. Weymouth Band, Propeller Club. Immediately following his graduation from the Canteen, Mighty Mouse left his Alpine hat and rustic sword to begin his escapades with the big boys, which was bigger — Dave or that red hot sax? One of his numerous conflicts with Stoop almost put Dave out of commission and his heart- to-heart talks with Chippy oft-times resulted in near riots. One full week Dave managed to tear himself away from June to put his engineering ability to use on the Massachusetts Highway Sys- tem. His aggressiveness will carry him far in anything he chooses to do. JOHN T. O ' DONNEL 35 Saint Agatha Rd., Milton Propeller Club President The Old Warrior could often be seen on hot summer weekends clunking down the Neponset with a beverage in one hand and tiller in the other. We are eternally grateful to the Seabees for giving John to us to fill in the position of arbitrator in many a hot argument. Though he is a close friend of the Straps we have our doubts as to whether O ' D. will ever be an ambassador to Spain. His ability to become scarce at 1530 was overshadowed only by his good common sense and know-how. We will never forget John, for he gave us so much and asked so little. DONALD C. PRATT 21 Palmyra St., Winthrop Muster Staff, Propeller Club. All right, who ' s the section leader here? Between looking for chalk, erasers, and going crazy trying to set the troops in alphabetical order for Naval Sci., Needly was forced to spend mucho weekends away from Jean because of his loyalty to the boys. A member of the infamous Uncles , he could always be counted upon to have T deals lined up with Bottly . A good man with the books and more so on watch, his sense of humor and subtle wit will carry him far. GEORGE H. TORREY 53 Wachusett Rd., North Weymouth Propeller Club Hey, anybody seen George? The Jungle Boy worked his way from the steam table to the life- raft in short order. The Prince ' s love for the sea was slightly one-sided. Many found him with only a bucket for his buddy. As the Professor of the stall, George slid into his upperjob duties easily and the Rabble Rousers soon persuaded him to join up wif the boys. His many accom- plishments prove that life holds no terrors for George. i DAVID A. WILKINSON 206 Oak St., Indian Orchard Propeller Club. Back in the saddle again. Hey, Chippy what was that faint glow coming from your sack last night? Studying again? Naw, I was writing to Lynn. Anyone ' s idea of the perfect student, Will was the uncrowned example of propriety at M.M.A. Though his first glimpse of the sea was from the main deck of the Chun, the pride of Indian Orchard won a place for himself in our hearts and the respect due to a guy who was in every sense a shipmate.

RODEN 10 Sycamore St., Somcrville Cadet Ensign, Editor-in-Chief of Muster, Basket- ball, Propeller Club. What can ' t Charlie do and do well? To enumer- ate his faults, we ' d be lucky if we used all the fingers on one hand (not including the thumb). Who contributed more to the yearbook, studies, intramural sports and the first division? No one! Chuck never hit it off too well with the Master- at-arms until the Ring Dance rolled around. From then on they were the best of friends. Must have something in common! Poor defenseless Dick White has stood up admirably under the onslaught of this fiery redhead. All the taunts thrown in the battle would be enough to terrify anyone less staunch than these two. Charlie ' s varied arguments with Whity have enlivened many an evening. ROGER P. MINVILLE Gardner ' s Neck Rd., So. Swansea Cadet Lieut., Propeller Club. The first time that we became acutely conscious of the ' Rock ' was in the eternal city. Here, in the cardboard gardens, he agilely demonstrated his acrobatic attributes on the end of a service cord. Minnie is undoubtedly the best seaman in the class of ' 52. Most of us will remember him for those phenomenal study habits and amazing powers of concentration in raucous study halls. When not pressing barbells, studying, or taking a shower to admire his tattoos, Roger could be found in a horizontal position somewhere in first division spaces dreaming of velvet Panamanian nights. In retrospect, how can Minnie fail to succeed? WILLIAM C. CALKINS Pitcher St. Marion Band, Color Guard, Propeller Club A strong love for the canine and a mania for the schizophrenic made The Dog one of our most interesting and well-liked compatriots. But he really is quite sane after all. Wherever Bill goes — Norton, Fall River, or Beacon Hill — a ready smile and a quick No! greet him. We shall never forget the old tankerman and his stories from under the Red Sea sun. The Hooligan Navy and the 5:17 home from Woods Hole await our friend — and may it never be late. JOHN H. CASWELL 5 Dumbarton St., Andover Muster Staff, Cadet Petty Officer, Propeller Club. Where are my sunglasses and sword belt? I ' ve got liberty today. Fresh from a tour of duty on the Kearsarge with the United States Navy, John drifted down the canal from Andover. Frequent trips to Happy Hampton on rare weekends enhanced the young but full life of the charter member of the Supper Club. J. Harrison com- bined a wonderful personality with a good mind to become a rate in the first division, and an out- standing maker of seaman. Good luck to Jack in the Navy. V JAMES B. RYAN 32 Orchard St., Jamaica Plain Propeller Club. Jim Ryan! Where is he? In his bunk, naturally, Jamie ' s ambition is to have more hours of sleep under his belt than any other living person. More commonly known as the Young man ' s friend , he was well-liked by everyone. Half the youngies never got to know his name, while the other half only saw him occasionally at check musters. He was also a charter member of the Supper Club. Sailing was Jim ' s only outside love. All his summer liberties were spent on the brine in any type of sailing craft. J.B. was a very good-natured guy, always willing to loan out his money even to the breaking point. He was a good shipmate and a fine friend. RAYMOND F. HIGGINS 103 Russett Rd., West Roxbury Football, Muster Staff, Band, Propeller Club, Century Club. The big question still remains as to why the O.D. wasn ' t invited to Ray ' s midsummer soiree. In spite of the oversight he did manage to put in a grand if only brief appearance. Probably the most versatile of our athletes, the boy from West ' By God ' Roxbury, proved a real class man repre- senting us in every part of the intramural setup. Good luck to a real friend who just wouldn ' t phaze. PAUL T. SHORTELL 6 Brown St., Salem Muster Staff, Band, Propeller Club. The other half of the infamous Shortell-Wilsing duo, Paul hides a keen mind and a sharp wit under a most blank and innocent face. Unfor- tunately, ' Lips ' has been noted since his arrival for a discouraging habit of signing his name. The class will never forget P.T. ' s proficiency in under- taking the perplexities of fire control, nor will they forget the famous blackboard art any spare study period would call forth. The loss of Paul to the band will be a serious one, although he leaves behind those monogrammed cymbals. ANTHONY S. ZIELINSKI JR. 555 Ashely Blvd., New Bedford Football, Century Club, Propeller Club. Always the first with the word , Tony has led the class in the expiration of sheer energy for its sake alone. When you want a thing done tell Ski , get him interested, and stand back. A Dealer from the first day at the Academy, this New Bedford boy has proven himself valuable whenever a reliable hand is needed. Though some- what shy in presenting his views on a subject, he was military in every sense of the word, an authori- ty on anything ranging from the Manual of Arms to the strategic maneuvers of The Desert Fox. With his quiet and understanding manner he will go far in his profession. SECOND CLASS Werndli, W. W. ; Slattery, R. E.; Kenyon, A. R., Jr.; Fulton, F. D.; Harrington, J. D.; Wotton, R.

FARMER 169 College St., Worcester Muster Staff, Dance Committee, Cadet Lieut., Propeller Club. After ricocheting off College Hill and rolling over the gangway Cueball made his appearance with a bottle of hair tonic in hand. Fanny soon developed sacratitis , but even this did not stop his constant sickening screams of Pra-a-a-a-t! nor his conferences with Sammie. Bob eventually arose to lead E Div. and was sorely missed by the watch 3 fireroom crew. ARAKEL R. NAROIAN 110 Main St., Whitinsville Cadet Petty Officer, Football, Muster Staff, Dance Committee, Propeller Club. Platoon leaders, dismiss yo platoons . . . Bobba ' s entrance into M.M.A. gave to us a new interest in bop (be-bop, that is). This boy not only listens to it; he works it. During his earnest work with the football squad Arak still managed to find time to design Bop Corner . Fellows you should ' of heard that boy hit it! Terrific! If not hidden in a cozy rack, our head of the CPO Dept. could easily be heard doing one of his famous imitations, saying, All right! Close Your books!!! A whiz on circuits and fixing fans, good-natured Chico will be hard to stop. ALAN G. BAGNI 242 Standish Ave., No. Plymouth Muster Staff, Century Club, Propeller Club. After disposing of his vast real estate interests and bidding a fond adieu to Audrey, Al roared into MMA. Between trips to the mail box and Plymouth he still managed to create many an evening riot. His loud antics and famous I ' ll buy da beer will long echo through the ivy cov- ered walls of the warehouse on the pier. Because of Luce ' s planning, the Desert Fox outfoxed Al and thereby giving him ample time to spend on yearbook photography. ALBERT A. ARENA 15 Noonan St., Waltham Class Treasurer, Propeller Club. Al ' s future was decided at Rockingham. Lady huck in the form of a fast moving hayburner delivered Al into the waiting arms of his dear Alma Mater. His abilities at bookmaking . . . oops I mean bookkeeping led him to the post of Class Treasurer and the nickname of Honest Al . Although he is a man of few words and smiles, his unquestionable store of engineering knowledge will carry him far. ARTHUR E. LOUBRIS 21 Wharton Park, Wakefield Football, Propeller Club. Only after the loud sea breezes over Wakefield drounded out the popping of dual pipes did Hori- zontal Hal II decide to join up wif us. His astounding ability with hydramatic systems soon amazed us all. Halvy joined the Ching Foos because of the miracles he could perform with starch and water. Tell us, Art, what ever prompted the rash statement Arthur Loubris — ■ don ' t you ever do that again? Although a quiet fellow, Art was always ready to give a ready smile and a helping hand to everyone. RONALD DUKE 40 Vanness Rd., North Weymouth Basketball, Baseball, Propeller Club. George! Ah lak it! It was Jellyroll Duke appearing at the Balinese Room which first drew our attention to this good natured fellow. Although often taken for Humphrey Pennyworth, Rollo always had a few chucks for the troops before taps. Al ' s arguments with Ron, an ardent Sox fan, will not long be forgotten . . . nor the contemplated auction in Rm. 2. Without Ronnie and his lovable jowls M.M.A. would never have been the same. I ROBERT J. RUGANI 37 Girard Ave., Springfield Football, Basketball, Baseball, Managing Editor Muster, Propeller Club. Hey what d ' you think? Amid screams of Row-ganni and Flex em the 0-1 Kid man- aged to put more time into studies than any ten of us combined. Movie call never failed to bring the Rugg ' s mastery of engineering into play. (The PLUG Row-ganni, the PLUG!) In top-notch con- dition at all times, Bob was a definite asset to all sports at MMA. Father Rugani ' s efforts at con- verting the troops were not entirely wasted, but Kid Turk proved to be his toughest problem. Honest and industrious Bob can be trusted to do well at any task. WAYNE W. O ' NEILL 28 High St., Salem Football, Baseball, Propeller Club. After disposing of his rickshaw to the highest bidder, Wayne joined us to be the leading stock- holder in Ching Foo ' s Three Month Laundry Service. The question most prominent in the minds of the Middies was, Do the deep dark waters of the canal hold the secret of the missing Monster- mobile? Another of the boys from Witch City Khakis pulled more deals and had more ins than Carter has liver pills. A top-notch engineer, his 6 foot 4 inch frame, which withstood more bombardments than London during the blitz, will long be remembered by the troops of 52. ■ EUGENE T. ST. GERMAINE 47 Columbia Rd., Stoughton Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Hey Turk, either youse goes or that port!! ' ' could be heard many a cold night from that long lean form down in Horror Corner. That S. G. managed to keep his neck intact during his three year stay was due only to Turk and Bottley ' s good natures. The ' Saints booming voice could often be heard thrilling the boys with a song. Anytime there was trouble brewing an arrogant ' Germanos ' could be found nearby. But nearby, also, was he whenever the boys needed a laugh. A terrific personality will always help the ' Stoughton Kid ' brighten up the dull moments of life. SECOND CLASS Travaly, A. J. ; Hasset, J.

SCHUTZ, JR. 21 Beacon Hill Ave., Lynn Cadet Ensign, Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Skipper, the complete youngie even down to matches, was known throughout the class for his cheery disposition and his merry laugh. Al has knocked off consistently good grades which have always kept him near the head of the class and earned him the rank of Cadet Ensign of a taut second division. Schutzie has shown in his first- class year an amazing love for his bunk, which Ted Wilsing claims is a n est. However, when Al is up and around, his vigorous action soon has things flying. Albert is undecided as to the Navy or the Merchant Marine. PAUL F. MAGINNIS 219 Dean Road, Brookline Cadet Lieut., Football Co-captain, Dance Commit- tee, Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Our retiring football Captain garnered his entrance credits through Brookline ' s Portsmouth Priory and King ' s Point. Paul ' s most pronounced quality was his infinite capacity for taking pains. A man of parts was Mac , from his neatly brushed red crew cut to his gleaming shoes. He took delight in always being immaculately attired. In summer months the massive freckle could be found conning his sleek Herreshoff 12 through sunny Pocasset Bay with his eyes glued to the latest science-fiction publication. The two questions that always came to mind when the elite group was discussing Paul were: Is it true that Mac bought his navigation m ark? and Where did Maginnis go on libexty. JOHN T. HOWES 24 Mayo Ave., Needham Muster Staff, Century Club, Prop.eller Club. It was a lucky day for the Academy when our friend John finally Sealed off relations with the fair town of Needham, and journeyed to the decks of the PG51. One of our best seamen, Geek soon proved his worth by organizing and becoming the first president of the M.M.A. S.U. The Century Club welcomed John late in ' 51 with a fond better late then never. Always quick with a smile and a good word, the pride of Uncle Bill should have no trouble in utilizing his unusual wit and natural knowhow in the maritime field. ARTHUR W. PATTEE 44 Larchmont Rd., Salem Cadet Petty Officer, Muster Staff, Band Master, Propeller Club. Bill came to M.M.A. equipped with his clarinet and much musical knowledge. Without his able conducting and playing the Maritime Band would have been extinct during 1951-52. During many maintenance periods he could be found tracing the ship ' s antenna leads, testing fuses for the ship ' s electrical navigation equipment, and doing numer- ous other little jobs. With his knowledge of radio and electricity, Bill was a handy man to have around the ship. As one of the leading men in the communications class, Bill saved the state much money by keeping his classmates out of the grasps of the Quarantine Machine . Add all this to a touch of humor and you have a man who will go far in life. J BRUCE A. PETERS 37 Beaumont Ave., Newtonville Football, Basketball, Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Bobo was good-natured, and all the ribbing he took didn ' t phase him in the least. Following in the footsteps of his brother, Pete set out to make a place for himself at our nautical college. He certainly found it in bunk 26. From the pic- tures in his wallet and adorning the inside of his locker door, we knew Bobo had it with the weaker sex — from 6 to 60 but nearer 6. As sports editor for the yearbook, Pete has given his time and effort generously. To him, we owe much of the credit for the success of the Muster ' s sport section. Great things are expected from ' Sal ' . william w. Mackenzie, jr. 153 Hcmenway St., Back Bay Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Bill swaggered aboard the Charleston from the Fens whistling I been working on the railroad and has since been seen rubbing elbows with the Chiefs at Leonardi ' s or bounding to the Back Bay Bounce at the Lenox. A bit of a martinet and a disciple of Daniel Webster, Adonis was quite a man with the ladies as well as a favorite among the youngies . Bill ' s position as captain of the weight lifting team accounts for the beauti- ful body. Always ready to give a helping hand or make a friendly gesture, Mac will be an out- standing member of the Alumni Association and will go far in the Merchant Service. LINCOLN B. SHEA 94 Jersey St., Marblehead Muster Staff, Propeller Club Secretary. Line , the youngest among us, has carried on a family tradition at the Academy on the Point. We all remember seeing him hopping down from Marblehead ready to take up where his brother left off. His tireless efforts as business manager of The Muster, as secretary of our Re-activated Propeller Club, as well as his contributions to our intermural sports, have proven invaluable. Al- though his one eye with two pupils could never find a pair of shoelaces, Line has never had much trouble finding friends. When not out getting ads, L.B. could be found in the sounding room testing out the P. A. system. After graduation Farrell Lines will probably be the winner. DEAN C. STRATOULY . 995 Washington St., Lynn Football, Muster Staff, Propeller Club. If you hear a loud noise punctuated by ancient Greek cries you will be sure to find Dino . Our gift from Greece by way of Lynn will be hard to forget. A vivid personality and a full shaving kit have earned him a place second to none. His linguistic genius is only surpassed by that amiable personality. Despite an affinity for bacon, Greek ' s stay has been a model one. Having stood well in the class and being an active participant in sports, we are sure this will carry on wherever he goes. I THEODORE A. WILSING 105 Mendon St., Hopedale Muster Staff, Century Club, Propeller Club. Ted, true to his Dutch heritage, heard the call of the sea and left Hopedale. This transplanted Brooklynite has never let M.M.A. life get him down. In the most somber moments he and P.T.S., his running mate, have cleared the air with a well placed remark. His ability to pull down presentable marks with a minimum of effort is well known, as is his ability to make quite an impression in strange ports, Puerto Rico for example. Never to be for- gotten are the daily letters from Cemetery Street. Their arrival during those dismal autumn days seemed to lift Ted from the bottom . Ted will go far, probably in the ranks of the glory boys. KENNETH D. WHITE 113 Mt. Vernon St., Arlington Muster Staff, Band, Propeller Club. A seriousness of purpose once he gets behind something and an ability to organize are just a few of the distinguishing features of this red- blooded American. Ken ' s ability to stay away from report mast with extreme regularity will never fail to faze some of the clubbier members of the class. We really don ' t know whether he comes from Weymouth or Arlington, nor does Nathan him- self. In carrying on the family trade we know K. D. will always be up there with the best of them. SECOND CLASS Leigh, J. R. ; Boyle, H. F., Jr.; Corsano, W. H., Jr.; Balboni, R. L.; MacCallum, W. W., Jr.; Swanson, C. F. ; Carton, J. J.; Suzan, F. M.; Watson, L. J.; Hathorne, J.

Carver Rd., West Yarmouth Cadet Petty Officer, Propeller Club. Well, ah-ah-ah, Mr. Williston would you please explain? The rank of Com-Inch-Space-Cadet proved that Wee Willie Littleshoes ' adeptness for gunnery was more than just hearsay. Though often threatened with being put to bed without any supper by Panora, Baby fought for his rights as an upper job with grim determination. A bright prospect for Pensacola, our Willie will be tough to keep grounded. GEORGE P. SAMPSON 146 Princeton St., East Boston Cadet Lieut., Dance Committee, Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Here ' s the Chief himself. The kid who nose all, sees all, and lets you know the scoop about it. Sammie could always be depended upon when we needed a good committee man, his work on the Ring Dance a shining example. Georgie and his buddy Pears spent many sleepless nights in the baggage locker knocking Nav. Sci. into one another ' s heads, with both deserving their two golden rewards. His heated arguments with Okie are never to be forgotten affairs. Where is he from ? Why, East-a-da-Bost ... of course. THOMAS W. CURRY Green St., Medfield Muster Staff, Propeller Club. LOOKOUT! . . . swish, oops . . . Single Swing just lowered the boom. Now don ' t get me wrong; Tom is really a very good-natured fellow but because of uncontrollable circumstances he eagerly grasped the opportunity to spend his first summer on our beautiful campus by the sea. Nodoz ' s research on FREON 12 and C02 for the Naval Science Dept. will long live in the annals of Naval history. FELIX S. CHILDS No. Main St., Centerville Baseball, Muster Staff, Propeller Club. The Peeper was right at home in San Juan but his methods were slightly unorthodox in Texas. This casual little fellow from the bogs who was destined to become Wing Commander of the notorious Space Cadets was found engaging daily in hand to hand combat with the battalion of roaches which colonized his locker. Though mistaken for a certain Youngster he still managed to maintain his lofty position as Disc Jockey down in Crab Corner. HOWARD B. BURKE, JR. Main St., Sandwich Muster Staff, Propeller Club. A true Bogger at heart, Howie gave up his bachelor standing with the troops to spend val- uable weekends pulling Wareham deals. Though new to Chinese customs, Boswell also managed to serve his apprenticeship in Ching Foo ' s Sweat Shop. Usually easy going and quiet, he reacted violently to our tortured screams of Khakis. With his varied talents Howie will handle any situation well. ROBERT HAMLET 680 La Grange St., West Roxbury Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Here ' s Brow , Stoke ' s fellow classmate and a guy whose famous portrait adorned more black- boards than all of Mr. Kimble ' s drawings put together. This king of subtle humor was always happy to see Washington, D.C. on the list of ports for the cruise. The Dancing Recip often teamed up with No Doz to amply represent the engi- neers at Joe ' s social affairs. Though his various abilities were often doubted by Hack , Bob ' s poise and good nature will stand him in good stead. WARREN A. SHAW 1834 Hering Ave., Bronx, N. Y. Propeller Club, Baseball. Schooooooosh! New York ' s half of our famous comedy team came to us via Schuyler Prep and they ' re still denying it. This red head had more people rolling on the deck than Moe ' s chile. He almost joined the WAFS at one time, but as luck would have it they transferred the squadron. Ricky and Larry knew more Boston dives than the SP ' s could kick them out of. His deals were amazing to hear but unfortunately they never seemed to pan out. We want to thank Rick and P.T. for ' the many chucks they gave us, without which life would have been very dull at M.M.A. JAMES J. O ' CONNELL 10 Mall St., Salem Propeller Club zzzzzzzz-zzzzzzzzz-zzzzzz- Hey wake up, Okie! It ' s time for graduation. After making his debut at M.M.A. Cousin Oke martyred himself by volunteering for a tour of duty at the Country Club of which he intends to become a lifelong member. If Jim was awake (a miracle in itself) he could usually be found debating the intricate phases of Naval Justice in search of a Sea Law- yer ' s loophole in the system. But whatever he chooses to do Jim will do well, we are sure of that. ROBERT A. SPRATT 5 Adams St., No. Abington Football Co-captain, Basketball, Baseball, Propeller Club. Blue mo-oooon, ah saw you . . . Mr. B ? No, its our own Bobby. Lips came to us with a head start on college life under his belt which we could all see without much trouble. An ardent believer in Moe ' s ability, the Peanut Butter Kid was never without chow. Was it Bob ' s engineering ability that enabled him to make such a swell operator for the Bell Tel. Co.? If this outstanding athlete does as well in life as he did leading the football and basketball teams, we are certain he will go far. SECOND GLASS McDonough, T. S.; Collins, R. M. ; Quinlan, P.

CURRAN 1 1 7 Myrtle St., Melrose Muster Staff, Football, Baseball, Basketball Cadet Lieut., Class Secretary, Propeller Club. Our generation ' s proof that we aren ' t so bad after all is Dickie Curran. Equally proficient with book or bat, Curly is a native Melroseian who survived two years of hot-rodding it from that fair town to B.B. with Scott via Bromley ' s to emerge as our favorite guy. Dickie was Lee Har- rington ' s stalwart, sparking the football team from the quarterback spot and banging the ball out of the park for the baseball team. Two stripes and third division were his reward for consistently leading his class at the end of each month. We salute him and wish him the best of luck in his Naval Career. CHARLES D. KAYE 26 James St., Mansfield Cadet Ensign, Football, Basketball, Century Club, Propeller Club. Dave ' s fishing experience and naval training were invaluable to him as material for story- telling. The Hebe soon came to the fore and made his presence known to all, particularly the staff at Brighton Marine Hospital, where he spent most of his third class year. Outstanding on the gridiron, Kaye ' s relentless energy in the face of defeat soon endeared him to the school. An early member of the Century Club, he quickly turned over a new leaf and established a fine record for himself. LAWRENCE A. CAPORAL 34 Albion Rd., No. Quincy Muster Staff, Band, Dance Committee, Propeller Club. The colorful little boy with the musical bounce came to us from Briarwood (honest!) to add much to the harmonious strain of extra-curricu- lar activities. His facility for math was equalled by a flare for artistic initialing which unfortunately was thwarted by one Black Harry . A wonderful pianist, Larry can squeeze a tune out of any in- strument and add a strong Irish tenor to an otherwise weak octet. The success of our dances, yearbook, band can in no small way be attributed to him. Whatever the problem, the quiet guy with the talent will have the answer. OLIVER PURVES R.F.D. 1, Litchfield, Conn. Cadet Petty Officer, Propeller Club. Old Oliver, commonly known as the Litchfield Torpedo, came to us as Connecticut ' s favorite son. A much-traveled man before his advent at the Academy, he was therefore an accomplished Linguist. His knowledge of French would have gotten him a 4.0, while his knowledge of Spanish got him 1-50. His most characteristic pose would remind one of a ragdoll. Tish would put any college man to shame with his casualness. Oliver has many notable quotes attributed to him, but the best one — especially to the third class, — was, Give me a tube and fuze it . Sense of humor, excellent manners, good taste, and nautical knowledge will never mark him as just another third mate. JAMES L. CHILDS No. Main St., Centerville Baseball, M.uster Staff, Propeller Club. A true Bogger in every sense of the word, Yak took a chance and crossed the Canal to grace our presence for the past three years. His easy going nature soon made him a most popular member of our class. A life of leisure, combined with weight lifting and a frustrating endeavor to lead Dickie Curran astray, made Jim a very interesting fellow, who feels that everything will come to you if you can only wait for it. As Cap- tain of ID in intramural football and Softball and an outstanding player in basketball, he was in- valuable in helping to show our prowess at the Stadium. His quick and alert mind and never- dying patience are sure to carry Jim a long way in the Merchant Marine. LAWRENCE M. EAGAN 342 Little East Neck Rd., Babylon, N.Y. Football, Propeller Club. . . . and in the second place, when I was at Spellman ' s . . . Will we ever forget this familiar chant from our New York representative. Larry, upper-job advisor for three years, spent a hectic life at the Academy running the circuit from Buzzards Bay to Sharon to Babylon, trying to keep some peace at all three places. His after-the- dance parties with a sagging floor, bouncing piano, and an invite-the-people-up-from-down- stairs-and-tell-them-to-bring-some-ice attitude will always be fresh in our memories. Whether his life is spent in a cab or on a bridge, success is certain to be his. PHILIP C. MONAHON 114 Thorton Rd., Chestnut Hill Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Master Philip Christopher Monahon, of Chest- nut Hill and Drake ' s Island, was tossed at us by Georgetown U. after graduating from Portsmouth Priory. Always the first with the word , Phil ' s dry wit and quiet temperament lent an air of sophistication to all doings about the campus. Pug ' s nocturnal wanderings about the dock, specifically to a 1949 Pontiac, were the subject of many bull sessions in the Junior Ward Room. An avid music fan (and critic) and a lover of the amber suds, Mbn knows all the famous and infamous niteries from Washington ' s 838 to Eddie Condon ' s in the Big City. RICHARD H. JACKSON 51 Langdon Ave., Watertown Muster Staff, Band, Century Club, Propeller Club. The Crow ' s easy going and quiet manner completely hid an alert mind and subtle sense of humor. His remarks passed over our heads for quite a while before some of us began to catch on. An important member of the band and trio, Dick ' s riffs and paradiddles added much to the Academy ' s musical atrocities. A strong devotion to a certain German Field General caused him to join the Club in his last year, which sharpened the bite of his caustic wit. A stalwart member of intra- mural teams, Dick inspired his classmates to great heights at Harrington Stadium. His friendly nature and outstanding ability as a navigator and seaman will stand him in good stead. RICHARD C. PETZOLD 588 Timpson Place, Bronx, N.Y. Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Richy came to us after a year of Schuyler Prep and soon became well known at M.M.A. Aside from his work at the Academy, his main interests are Ingrid and model railroads. Uncan- nily accurate at jamming favorite radio programs, his electric razor never failed to evoke the cry: Unplug that d — razor! Without a glance at the thermometer, anyone could tell when it was down to 45 degrees, as Petzy woud be wearing his turtle neck sweater. A great future with Ingrid and Cities Service Oil Co. lies before Dick. DANIEL P. SHEEHY 401 Broad St., Weymouth Muster Staff, Band, Basketball, Propeller Club. Uncle Dan liked the Academy and the class of ' 52 so well that he decided to stick around this year to graduate with his pals. As a member of the Football Foist Committee, his humor and talent launched and kept the pre-game football rallies going. We have it from scuttlebutt that Dan has a billionaire Uncle Ben. On Sunday mornings he could always be found curled up in a corner reading the adventures of Ben and his relatives in the Boston Herald comic section. Gump took himself a little vacation at the Brighton Country Club during last year ' s cruise. We hear that 2 J 2 months at home can do a lot more for a middie than a Caribbean Cruise.

PANORA 19 Saunders St., No. Weymouth Cadet Petty Officer, Football, Propeller Club Treasurer. Hey, what ' s for dinner today? could be fre- quently heard ringing through the mess deck. Whether it was playing defensive end or swinging a monkey wrench, this friendly, rangy kid from Weymouth was right in there pitching. Chief Panora and Kid Turk have many mornings after to remember each other by. One of that Old Man ' s favorites, Artie followed right in Big Bill ' s footsteps and as the Chn. goes to her watery grave the blood curdling battle cry of Get Sanford! will still echo from her engineers compartment. WILLIAM R. HENDY, JR. 9 Curtis St., Medford Cadet Lieut., Baseball, Basketball, Football Mana- ger, Propeller Club. Considering his search for the Fountain of Youth a lost cause, the Ancient Mariner traded his scythe for a pair of spikes and by the time of our arrival was firmly entrenched at first base. His adeptness in Spanish was excelled only by his ability at the plate, climaxed in the stretch by a brilliant double which amazed us all. This proves that which we all know. Whatever Bill does he does his best. RICHARD L. CHAMBERLAND 56 St. Louis Ave., Chicopee Propeller Club. Rah! Rah! . . . it ' s the pride of the college campus, good old Chambes. As the notes of every chow call faded into oblivion this bright fellow dressed in tweeds with pipe in mouth would be seen heading for our Campus Coffee Shop. Dick always seemed to be in the center of heated discussions and never got more than a few words in. His earnest efforts in A division made us all proud of our former Decide classmate. EARL F. BARNUM, JR. 180 Hampshire St., Indian Orchard Propeller Club. P.T. represents the first half of the Barnum Shaw Supervised Study Comedy Hour . Little work was accomplished when M.M.A. ' s own Danny Kaye was operating his motorcycles, air- planes, and motorboats in the classroom. Then disaster struck! . . . While fighting in The Battle of the Sacks the Elf received a pregnant knee which earned him the Custer Cluster and a trip to Brighton. A top-notcher in anyone ' s book, Earl will go all the way. 4 STEPHEN J. O ' CONNOR, JR. 893 St. James Ave., Springfield Football Trainer, Propeller Club. Though failing to receive his medical degree from Hungary Hill , Doc soon became the insti- tution ' s most prominent physician. We all remem- ber that familiar phrase from our youngy days, Do I have to buy a comb, O ' Connor? His close resemblance to Eddie Cantor just couldn ' t help but earn him the name of Bug . Although a self- admitted woman hater, Doc ' s visit to Montreal still has us guessing. Truly a fabulous character, this likeable Irishman will always be remembered for his paramount assistance with the football squad. JOHN MAKOWICZ 128 Cedar St., Ludlow Propeller Club. Ma-jug-a-whoos-a-which ? What did you say Mac? Before deciphering Pop ' s Ludlow dialogue we knew he came from Indian country because of his lack of hair. On field days why were you often caught bundling rags, Mac? A true follower of John Warner, Pop has oft been noticed in a corner arguing over new scalp stimulation methods with Pears . Though quiet at times, his jovial smile and love of adventure soon made him one of the boys. WILLIAM B. THOMPSON 202 West St., Auburn Muster Staff, Football, Baseball, Propeller Club. But Mr. Stoke! What d ' ya mean Stoke? What d ' ya mean what d ' ya mean? But Arak, I won ' t . . . Trading his plow and trusty mule for a baton Billie Boy laughed his way through many- finals. ( Gee, youse guys are slow! ) Responsible for the 1-50 list and its first president, the Cuca- racha excelled in diesel and picking the ponies. ( $5 on Guided Missile ). Although losing his shirt and as many lovelies ( She ' s not a Geek ) he still captured our hearts and provided us with many a laugh. WALTER F. SULLIVAN 376 Plymouth St., Abington Muster Staff, Propeller Club. Omar left a perfectly good job as first assistant to a Persian Cleaner to sneak in to a back door of the college on the pier. A firm believer that the chalk is mightier than the dagger he could often be caught sketching Rollo or the Tin God . One of many Romeos after a certain young lady ' s affec- tion, Geekmar suffered a cruel fate at the hands of an inconsiderate Youngster. No football rally would have been complete without Sully ' s clever pen. Come what may, we are sure that if his en- gineering ability ever fails Walt Disney will wel- come him with open arms. RICHARD H. WHITE 30 Hearsey Ave., Whitman Football., Propeller Club. Where ' s Germanos? Grrrrrr . . . Hogar was usually seen swinging his way through the com- partment ready to pounce on the Jab . His con- stant yen for Hors-de-vors and dimies brought him to social prominence in Death House society. The south-end cops will not soon forget Kid Turk, as wrecked squad cars are good reminders. The holes in Joe ' s walls were nothing compared to those opened up in the opposing team ' s line when Dick got going. The best guard MMA has ever seen, Dick will never be in want of buddies. SECOND CLASS Mullaney, R. F. Jr.; Lessard, P. B. ; St. Pierre, L. R. ; Cunniff, J. W.; O ' Neill, J.; Gerety, D. W. ; Sullivan, J. E.; Moffett, R. C. THIRD CLASS Sullivan, R. P.; Duke, R.

On the morning of the- sixth of September 1949. some eighty-six innocently apprehen- sive members of the new class trudged down to State Pier to begin their careers at the Academy. Many of us, soon to be dis- illusioned, expected a ride to Hyannis on our newly discovered ship. How much we had to learn. At any rate, we were most eagerly received by those on board, as our arrival heralded untold pleasure for them. Quite quickly we were engulfed in the turmoil and confusion every young man experiences. As the routine began to take its toll on the less staunch of our class, we watched with mixed emotions their seemingly daily departures. Some we never even got to know, the stories of their brief, disastrous stays becoming mere legends. It wasn ' t long before we were wearing our traditional knives, reciting the Young Man ' s Function and The Famine , and looking for our mythical classmate, W. T. Door. Within a week we found that one ' s only friend was his classmate; consequently, dur- ing those early days the class became as united as it would ever be. As the dust of the first volley settled, the treatment became less severe; but none the less diabolic were the sessions in the Junior Wardroom, the fatal hurricane, messcooking for Sid, the screaming upperjobs, not to mention the hectic evening study periods. The football season was underway now, and with only a few exceptions the opposition was not going to be easy. Our month ' s pro- bation period ended before it seemed to have started and those incorrigibles among us be- gan to suffer at the Captain ' s mast. Late in October a break in the routine was greatfully accepted when the ship went to Boston for repairs. After about two months of sitting at the State Pier, we found it hard to visualize the CHN. churning over the waves, but this trip served to dispell any doubts as to her mobility. In fact it was found that our good ship was prone to move in many directions — up, down, and side- wise. All in all, we received an excellent op- portunity to try out our sea legs . Dry dock life proved not only interesting and educa- tional but amusing as well with its many jobs and overnight liberties. This was but a vacation, for quite sud- denly we were back in Buzzards Bay stum- bling along toward our next goal, the Christ- mas leave. Perhaps more small events were crammed into these first few months than an average man experiences in a dozen years. Though our number had dwindled to the sixties we managed to hang on until the leave. Perhaps part of the joy of these days was tempered by the fact that mid-years were coming up soon after. But like many past milestones we managed to survive only to learn that the cruise had been postponed for numerous obscure reasons. About this time we were blessed by the arrival of two notables, Doctor Ouspensky and the steamboat inspector. Never to be forgotten are the many diagnoses and daily trips of the grand old man of medicine to the wardroom. The steamboat inspector lit- erally went overboard in his enthusiasm for our ship. The four weeks ' delay finally ended and once again we sailed for Bean Town for another period in the yard. This time the first class left us to go to a fire fighting school, while the second class, not at all loath to take the controls, gave us a gloomy preview of things to come. Having leisurely passed away the winter months touring the Caribbean and Mediter- ranean Seas, we were jolted back to reality, to the Gulch, and to the commencement of summer classes. Much to our surprise a ru- mor which began on the cruise was material- izing before our eyes. The College on the Canal was having its face lifted. Already workmen were swarming over the rugged timbers. The early phase of their remodeling job called for limited evacuation of certain interior fixtures. Always ready to lend a helping hand, the Midshipman body swung into action under the shrewd direction of the reigning class. The problem of holding daily studies be- came the real issue now, and it was soon decided to procure the use of the Bourne High School. Consequently a slight change of routine went into effect. Morning drill and inspections were cancelled at 0735 and Getaway busses plus our own Academy machine hauled the major portion of the students across the canal to our new campus. Some never managed to experience the pleasure which goes with a bus seat; but then how can you pass out cigarettes sitting down. Amid shouts of Stee-roke! and Boot it, Mackie! the Bourne Bridge and connecting arteries took up the appearance of the In- dianapolis Speedway. On the sports side our late-starting base- ball team came up fast, acquiring the title of Giant Killers , knocking off in quick succession the major contending clubs. In no time Labor Day was upon us, which meant final exams. Studying aboard ship was a definite difficulty, but much to the pleasure of all the new building was available for the final exams themselves. After a week ' s vaca- tion we returned to enter a new era — Second Jobs. Ah! Second classmen — or at least we thought we were second jobs, but our joy was short lived. Under the personal super- vision of the bitter first classmen we became a class of grumbling and disillusioned men. To add to our misery, we were literally buried under a deluge of technical subjects — for here was the beginning of our special- ized training. The Snipes soon lost contact with their Deck Ape pals and vice-versa as the rowing season came to an end. The football team beginning to round into shape, were greeted with another of their gruelling schedules. The boys journeyed down to Rhode Island State to take on a powerful Ram Freshman team . The out- come was a shelling for us, but we more than made up for it as the boys got their first taste of Joe College life. Stories of Rhode Island co-eds filled many a dull moment during a lull in studies!! As the season rolled on we had yet to win a game, but our aim and spirit was at a maximum as we readied for the traditional tussle with the Main- iacs . This was our do-or-die stand. Victory meant more than a successful season to us. At the Medford Bowl our inspired boys did just that, for after the smoke of battle cleared, the victory was ours!! Immediately after the game we shifted our scene to the Hotel Statler where a roof-raising evening was in store for us! The entire staff of the Statler will never forget the numerous sorties up to ' ole room 600 nor are any of us likely to forget this and countless other highlights that made the evening a memorable one. About this time our beginning as gunnery officers in Uncle Sam ' s Navy was under way. This can best be verified by the gang that became guests of the State aboard the CHN each week. Lt. Kimble did his best to get it through our thick craniums, but as rock is impenetrable, much chalk was used which benefitted only the eraser manufacturers. Our skirmishes with the upper-jobs now took the limelight. After an attempt to over- throw Captain Bob and his motley crew , pap-sheets became as regular as the snow falling around us. On the brighter side of things, basketball, both intramural and var- sity, began to take our notice. Our team, sporting new uniforms and jackets, began its start into college basketball. As it was our initial year, the victories we did chalk up were hard-earned ones. Much to our dismay, mid-terms rolled around for the second time. A list to port after 2215 was common as the racks were left vacant and the I.C. room began to re- semble Joe Hick ' s after hours. The Night Raiders were once again organized under the leadership of C.I.C. As information poured in from every corner, eyes became weary, minds jumped, and seats of pants frayed — we were giving our all to remain in the enviable category of ID . Results with a few exceptions were more than satisfactory and preparations for the shipyard began im- mediately. Finals were over and half of us were ready to be shipped to the rest home. But we gathered our salty dungarees and new boiler shirts and headed for the shipyard details. Well, there we were in East-a-Da-Bost and the boys began to hit the high spots. After a few tussles with the SP ' s we knew Boston was strictly a sailor ' s town, but there was al- ways the Buddies ' Club and Sal ' s at Mav- erick. We paid many visits to other ships and are grateful to the Coast Guard for their kind invitations to Movie Call . We second jobs managed to sneak over to their ship a few times anyway. After getting the O.K. from the shipyard we left Boston amid the strains of a twenty piece band and the cheers of the crowd that gathered to bid us adieu. After three months of good sailing experience and the acquiring of dark tans we returned and the ship became alive with our folks, all glad to see us back safe and sound. Back to El Grindo , this time with more subjects than fingers on our hands. We wiped the dust off our Naval Science books and be- came more confused than ever. Many a night the midnight oil burned brighter and tired minds tried to obtain what knowledge they could. Sunken eye-sockets became uniform and the troops were ready to toss their books into the canal. But spring was here and after a quick visit to Boston for Maritime day we began to enjoy the sunlight. Rasrball had started and the intramural softball became a hit after many years of clearing out a playing field from the jungle next to us. Summer was upon us before we knew it, and the boys took off for deals in Falmouth and Hyannis. The eape was alive with females and that helped the morale im- mensely. The upper jobs finally realized that lieense exams were coming and decided to hit the books. We too got ready for our finals as best we could, and we spent one of the most gruelling weeks of our life. Well, it was over now; the upper jobs with whom we were having our troubles packed up and left. Here we were at last — at the head of the rat race . . . After one of the longest leaves of our academy careers, sixteen lovely days of that marvelous civilian life and home cooked chow, we returned to find that we were the bosses. For the first week we exploited our new-found privileges and went wild. But as usual the books started to bite again and demanded some of our sack time . The gentlemen of the class, the rates, that is, gathered the peons of us, the Seamens ' Union , and we had a meeting. The result of this meeting brought about many changes in this academy. We wanted to be the upperclassmen at a school that was r espected other than pro- fessionally. We started to have football ral- lies, which turned out to be variety shows, to help another person who has wanted this too, the coach, Mr. Harrington. Everybody responded with steam that has built up for a long time. No other football team has ever had the backing this team did and no other team played the caliber of teams this one did and made out so well. The middle of October caused quite a stir as arrangements were made for our Ring Dance. The Ring Dance was a great success. Being a married man does something for a person even if his bride is the inconsistent sea. By this time the big thought — what a year — was the annual classic between Maine and Mass. If we won this year the trophy was ours to keep . . . Oh well, it was broken anyway. From here on to dry dock, the life seemed to consist entirely of leaves, tests, and threats about some organization called the Navy waiting for us with open arms. Our reputation was growing fast. It was in two distinct frames of mind that we made our return to Taylor ' s Point. As a class there was regret, for we had handled the Charleston for the last time. But as a student body we rejoiced, about to while away a pleasurable summer along the sunny banks of that fisherman ' s paridise, The Cape Cod Canal. Classes commenced and along with them came initial tryouts for the base- ball team. Determination and hustle gave early indication that the Mariners were field- ing their best team in years. In the Cape Cod League we loomed as the team to beat. Behind a vigorous reorganization program we enjoyed the day and night recreation of our softball and shuffleboard leagues respec- tively. Midsummer monotony received a jar- ring jolt with the advent of the dance in Boston. The days grew shorter and so did the time for final preparation. Before we knew it we had walked down the finger pier for the last time. What was to be a Cruise of Cruises got underway on March 23 of the Holy Year. As young men we received our baptism before scarcely two days had elapsed. From all corn- ers we heard: The men will be separated from the boys . To this day it remains a puzzle to us boys where all the men dis- appeared to during those memorable days. Two weeks out of Boston saw us steaming through the Pillars of Hercules, Europe to port and the Dark Continent to starboard. Within a few hours we had nestled inside the island fortress of Gibraltar. Two sets of plans came into immediate effect. Plan able, inaugurated by the officers, was to paint the ship; and Plan Baker, outlined by the Mid- shipman, had to do with liberty. Both were executed perfectly, and after touring the Rock, the Moorish Castle, the Museum, and for some, the Spanish bull-fights we slipped out into the Mediterranean heading east- ward. Easter weekend was spent at sea and then in Marseilles. The Charleston docked at the South Mole section of the city upon arrival. On the next day we gratefully accepted a new spot and found ourselves looking right up the main street, La Rue De La Canebiere. Now the center of attraction, the Midship- men became the beneficiaries of some typical French hospitality. Guided tours were highlighted by the Notre Dame De La Garde and Longchamps Palace. Hard to forget are the opera parties, the receptions, the dances, the dinners and the perfume counters. The four-day visit was terminated with much regret, and after a wonderful send-off the eager expectations of all turned once more eastward. Next the Eternal city. I After one of the shortest runs of the cruise we squeezed into the small, war-ravaged port of Civitavecchia. The Charleston settled her- self in a semi-anchored, semi-moored status and became half-marooned as the port watch began a forty mile trek to Rome. Under the auspices of the Servicemen ' s Club, tours, transportation, rooming accommodations and entertainment were provided. All was climaxed by a memorable attend- ance at the public audience given by Pope Pius XII. The wealth and grandeur of two thousand years could only be scanned in a few days. Famous names which became real- ities were St. Peter, the Colosseum, the Pan- theon, Sistine Chapel, the Catacombs. The Florida and California Clubs provided a real touch of home, knowing all too well how to put that touch. Our five-day stay complete, we moved into the Tyrrhenian Sea, leaving in our wake Rome the Sacred, Civitavecchia — . It now became hotter and a change in uniform was in order. The bow pointed southwest and before long our newly ac- quired tans were intermingled with the darker ones of the Algerian Arab. Once again the cordiality of France was extended in the manner of tours, parties, and this time a baseball doubleheader. We won one-half of the twin bill. Of particular note were the Casbah, the fez and the veiled women. What a spot for a laundry! The itinerary now called for a return to Gibraltar. Unfortunately, someone had left a copy on our first visit. The result was a strange depletion in the value of the Ameri- can dollar. Fueling completed, we turned westward from the Watchdog of the Medi- terranean. It was not long before we were again cruising the Atlantic. As we made tracks south the green changed to blue. Amid the most favorable ocean and sky rose the island of Madeira. I i Anchorage was made in the harbor of Funchal. For the first and only time the Tun- ing boats were lowered and began hourly taxi-service to the island. It was with much regret that we finally separated from Ma- deira and Manuel Rodriguez. The regret quickly changed to eagerness, for we set out on the ten-day jaunt to San Juan and U.S. The famed honeymoon route maintained its reputation. As a result of a ten-day over- haul of the ship we were agleam from stem to stern on the tenth of May as we steamed past the Morro Castle. A paint brush went ashore with the first line and in a matter of hours a massive paint holiday called, the hull was touched up. The customs officials were quick to come aboard and so were the long expected checks. The Normandie and Caribe Hilton hotels benefited by the latter. As usual the Pro- peller Club had trips and dances for us all arranged. After celebrating Armed Forces Day and refuelling day at the Navy Base, we turned into the choppy waters of the U.S.A. proper. A distress signal was received halfway to Charleston, speed was increased and the course changed. In a matter of hours we arrived alongside the Dutch ship Vant HofT . The captain had been blinded by an exploding can of lime. With the injured man aboard, the ship made top speed to her birthplace. It was not long before Fort Sumter appeared, a long-awaited sight. For some strange reason we arrived long before the anticipated welcoming throng. Evidently they planned to come in shifts to view their 1936 project. Those grand Charlestonians who were treated to a tour of our spotless vessel had nothing but praise to offer — upon departure. A dance highlighted the visit. We cast off all lines from our last port of call and headed home. Luckily the in- famous Cape Hatteras was taking a breather as we sped northward. In quick succession could be heard the names Montauk, P town, and the lightship. Finally an early bugle call heralded the presence off the Bean and the Cod. Quite unnoticed, we became part of Commonwealth Pier. It was all just a memory now . . .

One day precedes the Cal ends or March, Hope raises up her strengthening arms: Were we to search the sea s sly arch, And taste the tropics tempting charms? The Brass ' said, Yes emphatically; We nodded — automatically. The skeptics said, They re wrong again, No cruise this year lor sure. — and then Our patience had its just reward; By sixteen hundred we had quit The fueling pier, with all aboard; And anchored oil Bird Island Spit. The morrow morn snow hid The tort — The Charleston lelt proud Boston-port. Deer Island Light now lay well aft; With log and weather set in thick Our pitching, tossing, rolling craft Held scarcity not sore and sick. Five lair days followed for that week, The sixth saw specious Martinique; And crowded Whale-boats coursed the quay Of Fort-de-France neath Mount Pelee. The Blacks bark Patois — harsh hubub, Les Vins-de-France and local beer; Hotel Air France and Lido Club, Mad taxi-ride — lirst swim this year. To church on Sunday, then to Sea; By Tuesday noon we 11 raise B.G. Ill Georgetown. British Guiana At dawn the shallow shoal was crossed. That sets The River Irom The Bay; Our I, nes to Booker s Wharf we tossed — To port the streets or Georgetown lay. Where Demerara Rum comes from. And Bauxite for AI ummum; Where vibrant Jungle Orchids throng, And silken Scotch is sold tor song. The Mariner s Club — two dances there; A Concert, tours, and tennis too. Oh, cool blue eyes and warm lair hair, With heads a-whirl we bow to youl The Ides or March some hearts were sad — We left B.G. tor Trinidad. IV Naval Op erations Base, Trinidad The sea watch set, we sailed northwest, Three hundred eighty miles — then through Boca Del Dragon we progressed, Till Chagaramus rose to view. Pipe praises to the PX — cheer! Here s ice-cream, hot-dogs, pop-corn, heer. The theatre, gym, and pool poured fun — A baseball game (of course we won.) In Port-oj-Spain they ' d just recover d From King Carnival s sharp screech; Calypso Singers round us hover d (Their hit-parade was led by Kitch .) Next day rose rich — sea calm, sky clear, To Haiti now our course we 11 steer. V Port-au-Prince, Haiti In Gonave Channel s azure tide, Between two verdant arms of shore; Past nuts on stilts, neath green hill side, The stately Charleston s gray form bore. Here s Haiti — home of heathen health, So steeped in secret, shrouded stealth; Who heard the Devil s Acolytes, With V oodoo Drums hold Voodoo Rites? We visited The Market Place: Bought French Perfume and silver art, Mahogany, Imported Lace — For Mother, Sister, and Sweetheart. The Thorland Club — Casino gay, Then off for Galveston, next day. VI Galveston, Texas On our approach to Tanker s Row; The latticed, towering oil wells In Monday morning s mellow glow, Stood seeming silent sentinels. The Lone Star State — the Wooly West. ' If it s made in Texas it ' s the best — Our country would be lost without it, (Ask any Texan if you doubt it!) And Galveston — city ol sin: Post Ojjice Street where Red Lights glow; The gambling house — The night club ' s din; The discord, glitter, noise, and show. A trip to Baytown s banks ensues — For fuel. And Friday — Vera Cruz. Mex Sea-bound for Sunny Mexico; The moon creeps her nocturnal race, This magic night our minds foreshow Mantilla veiling Spanish Face. Four velvet nights, tour sparkling days: Dark hair delights; dark eyes ablaze Made many mariner s muses roam Far trom lair laces waiting home. La Escuela Nautica s crew — Three dances (one on our Main Deck.) Guadalajara — Mambo, too; A trip to Fort Chapultapec. Sad farewells to our Latin Queens, Then north again to New Orleans. VIII New Orleans, La. The Mississippi s muddy brown Made mushrooms in The Gulf s green grace. Up Southwest Pass by Pilo ttown We coursed our swift, determined pace. New Orleans alleys old and famed; Here s Bourbon Street (a lane well-named). The hammering heart ol Jazz still heats Perdido, Basin, Rampart Streets. The Sisters , Antoines - — French Cuisine, Before our liberties expire, We II view The Vieux Carre s strident scene. And ride the Streetcar named Desire . In Wednesday evening s choppy chill, The Charleston hauled for Jacksonville. IX Jacksonville, Florida The lairest passage of our trip: Warm sun, smooth seas, soft sky. bland breeze. Great anchor s grip secured the ship, Near Silver Beach s white palm trees. The morn ol April, twentieth day, We rode The Saint Johns brackish spray (Beneath The Bascule Bridge renowned) To Jacksonville s squat shore and found: The Little Women s dancing mien; The Naval Airbase (there s a deal!) ■Iarineland in Saint Augustine; And Jax Beer with its bold appeal.

The windy lights of Norfolk streak The shadowed shore, swept rainy-rich Around the churning Chesapeake, And proud Potomac — pale as pitch. We tied up early Saturday, And fought the rain throughout our stay. Two days to see all this — no more? Amazing synthesis! — Explore Smithsonian, The Monument, The Wnife House, Congress. Neon names: O Donnell s, Mayfair, Lotus meant, Smart cafes all the world acclaims. Sweet Secretaries — So long all! ' New Bedford bound — last port of call. XI New Bedford. Mass. Block Island Light abeam once more. In Vineyard Sound at six o clock; Clark Point passed then the Lyle Gun s roar At eight reunions on the dock. Our seabags full, ashore we ran; Pale faces greeting those of tan. A band boomed. Welcome to our shore. Though most went home, we can t ignore: The Museum, with its whaling myths; The Draggers seething salty smell. The Jolly Whaler, Burt s, and Smith ' s The Dance — (New Bedford ' s best hotel.) The Port Watch, on the fifth of May, Returned the ship to Buzzard s Bay. XII Omega The Generators cease to scare us (It only „was the noise, you know.) And Star-sights now don t seem to wear us. As they did ten weeks ago. Our learning mixed with fervid tun, Our consort voyaging is done; And when we graduate this fall. In retrospect we shall recall: Though not immortal music played; To us its melody was grand, Who lived that simple serenade. Conducted by Saint Elmo s hand. The players leave — the concert ' s through; So ends the Cruise of Fifty-two. — Lawrence A. Caporal Jr. FOOTBALL Falmouth All Stars 6 Mass. Maritime Acad. 6 A warm Saturday night on the 29th of August saw a hopeful Academy eleven take the field against the always powerful Fal- mouth Semi-pro Team. It was a game that kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Our line played as though it was a mid- season game. Falmouth took an early lead in the second period on a 20 yard pass, but after one of Coach Harrington ' s stellar half time talks, our team came fighting back to score. The game ended with our Middies on the Falmouth 15. Mention should be made, of our two great linemen, Paul Maginnis and Dick White who took up their favorite sport with new strength. Worcester Poly-Tech 46 Mass. Maritime Acad. 6 Although certainly not indicated by the score the team was very impressive. Again the line play was top notch. As evidence W.P.I, took to the air after two attempts on the ground and they never came back to mother earth. In the fourth period Jones threw a long one to Bob Spratt who made one of his famous basketball catches for the lone Maritime score. To the surprise of a few us who followed our club last season, more than three fourths of the entire school was there. Hats off to those wh o were there and to: Bob Spratt, Paul Maginnis, Dick White, Dick Curran, Art Panora, Bill Fitz- patrick, Bob Rugani. Adelphi College 41 Mass. Maritime Acad. 0 With five minutes remaining to half time, the score was 0-0. Suddenly the Cadets were behind by three T.D. ' s. Our pass defense was lacking. The second half was a contin- uation of the first half. Our reserve strength was poor; injuries were once more plaguing our boys. The line was once again terrific. A serious clog entered into our wheel of progress on the return to the Academy when an onrushing auto hit one of our cars. We lost Frank Boyle and Chooch Lawler for the rest of the season. Mass. Maritime Acad. 19 New York Aggies 0 The Middies were sparked by the return of Dave Kaye. It was Dave ' s first game since the end of our last season. As in most fiction stories the old injured player came through; Dave scored the first touchdown from eight yards out. Jones to Curran for the extra point. After the kickoff, N.Y. was driven back to her own five where Pete Peterson broke through to block the kick. The ball rolled through the end zone where after the referee had unpiled the players it was found that Pete was on the bottom. A few minutes later Larson intercepted a pass and raced 56 yards for the final tally. The two Fishes, Ed and Larry plus Kaye and McDon- ough were in the limelight. Dean Academy 25 Mass. Maritime Acad. 0 A surprisingly strong Dean team turned back the Fighting Sailors on a beautiful Fall day. It turned out to be the same story as our line was at its usual peak. Dave Kaye racked off several gains, two of them could have been T.D. ' s had the key block been thrown. The play of the day was made by Dean when an M.M.A. punt was run back seventy yards. Mr. Harrington said that, though we had previously played out of our class this would be our game. Why did we have to have an off day? Loyola University (J Mass. Maritime Acad. (J After an enjoyable trip to Montreal, the team settled down to prepare for a two-day visit with our neighbors to the North. As the game approached the sky darkened and, sure enough, the snow began to fall. It snowed all day and at game time there was six inches on the ground. It was a see saw battle all the way, each side unable to cope with both opponent and weather. It was Dave Kaye again on offense. But for the presence of their safety man, Dave would have scored. In the last period Loyola moved to our nine, but in four tries got nowhere. Slightly disappointed with the outcome, the team remained to enjoy an evening in this wonderful and memorable city. Maine Maritime Acad. 25 Mass. Maritime Acad. 0 The team arrived in Castine with high hopes of once again beating the Mainiacs and retaining the coveted trophy for good. Kaye was out along with our other fullbacks. Present at game time were the Admiral and Mrs. Wilson and a select group of Midship- men who decided they would brave the cold to see our annual high-pitched rivalry. The roof fell in on us and our high hopes were soon forgotten as Maine proved to be too much for us. It was a hard fought game all the way, the deciding factor was probably the loss of Kaye. The team deserves much credit for the spirit and fight exhibited. Mass. Maritime Acad. 7 Barnstable Townies 0 The team did finally end their season with a victory. Throughout the game both sides played classy football. Another magnificent goal-line stand highlighted the team ' s de- fensive play. At this point the underclassmen began to click. Jones threw one of his long ones which after being deflected several times landed in Ken Hasset ' s hands. A pass, Cur- ran to Boyle, got the team its seven points. It was the last game for the upper class and for Doc O ' Connor , the team trainer. A fine game was played by all. Mr. Harrington can look forward to a promising season next year. Class of 1952 Varsity Football Players Robert Spratt (co-capt.) Paul Maginnis (co-capt.) Richard White C. David Kaye Richard Curran Robert Rugani Arthur Panora William Fitzpatrick Bruce Peters Wayne O ' Neil Arthur Lubris Dean Statouly Lawrence Eagan FOOTBALL FIRST COMMITTEE While touring the Cape on a routine talent scouting project for the Little Brick Ware- house Theatre , Cecil B. DeSheehy stumbled upon a superlative comedy act. What he saw was the most spectacular exhibition ever seen on Buzzards Bay ' s Broadway. The team of Earl Elf Barnum and Warren Rick Shaw signed a beer stained document and bid adieu to cafe society to perform with other talent such as Bill Kelley, Doc Quinlan, and Bobby Duke. The orchestra which in- variably appeared in the Pit was none other than Bill Pattee and his Barefoot Cranberry Pickers. The opening show was attended by many noted broadway critics whose reviews could be summarized with one word — Schoosch . We give our thanks to the Com- mittee which was not only responsible for raising the student body ' s interest in football but for the many benefit shows given about the Cape. BASKETBALL Putting a team on the court for the second year of its history, the Middies despite ad- verse conditions played hard ball. Under the leadership of able Captain Paul Davidson the team practiced faithfully whenever they could and showed the will-to-win spirit in all their games. Davidson, Bill Hendy, Ronnie Duke, Dick Curran, and Bob Rugani played their last year of ball giving the team the necessary needed experience. Franky Boyle, noted for his good defensive work along with Dave Gerety and Fran Mycue were other mainstays on the team. High scorer for the team and a top center was third classman, Brud Hcaly. Mario Ciaramaglia and Sonny Scanlon, other dependable men, rounded out the squad. INTRAMURAL ASKETBALL The third annual renewal of our intra- mural basketball league got underway in the latter part of November. The upperclass teams proved to be too much competition for the rest of the league. It was a battle between Chuck Roden, Dick Curran, Bruce Peters, Dick Jackson and Jim Childs against Bob Spratt, Don Pratt, Wayne O ' Ncil and Omah Sullivan. In a thrilling playoff the deckmen squeezed by to become champs. BASEBALL The first practice session was held in Georgetown, B.G. It was evident from the start that the club from Buzzards Bay was due for a banner season. With each cruise stopover the practice drills were accompanied by games. At the completion of Spring train- ing, (Mexican League Style) the totals read six victories, no losses. Then the cruise ended. The league opener was only a week away. The spirit and intentions of the team was never more evident as the players gave up the greater portion of their leave for daily prac- tice. Key figures among the early list of Har- rington Hopefuls were such newcomers as: Seamans, O ' Lcary, Ward, and McDonough. The Upper Cape Cod League was soon underway. Pre-season forecasters had the Middies pegged for last place. They were soon to be seen with red faces. Early victims of the Mariners assault were the first, second, and third choices of the experts. Behind some great pitching by Richy O ' Lcary and Barry Dennis the team moved into a respectable position around the circuit. The summer wore on and such veterans as Boyle, Fitzpatric, Hendy, and Flynn managed to distinguish themselves in the field and at bat. As a result fans from Cape Cod witnessed the best local baseball in years and the sailors from Buzzards Bay their best team in years. CLASS OFFICERS President Donald J. Flynn Vice President Paul J.

The Band progressed a long way the three years our class was at the Academy. From one pitifully small array of upper job stalls and young men, which comprised the band when we first arrived, the organization grew annually until it became an important part of almost every academy function. Some of their activities included football games, rallies and local parades. 1 THE MARINAIRES Through the kind co-operation of Capt. Thompson a piano was moved into the physics lab during the fall of our first class year. Soon, the little quartet, which became known as The Marinaires , was grinding out tunes during odd moments. While their repertoire was limited only by their ideas of what to play, that is, on a you name it, we ' ll play it in E-flat basis, the works of George Shearing, the Mambo and the Blues were most likely to be heard floating through evening studies. Appearances were made at hospitals, Kiwanis Clubs, athletic banquets, rallies, and various business establishments. DANCE COMMITTEE The success of any affair depends largely upon the degree of planning and arranging done by those responsible. This was the task placed in the hands of the Ring Dance Com- mittee. Starting before our ' 51 cruise, the committee began the preliminary steps neces- sary to a successful Ring dance. Boston was searched in order to find a suitable location and many orchestras were auditioned. Final plans were drawn up late in the summer of ' 51, the dance was to be at the Hotel Somer- set the following October. After weeks of waiting the night finally arrived. The floral ring, the programs and the favors brought many compliments to the Committee. Their efforts were well spent in making a memorable evening for all. Chairman, George. P.

And it is now possible to make a major course change without over-shooting. With a standard repeater card and course- setting pointer located in the stand, course selection is greatly simplified. A new course is selected by moving the wheel until the course-setting pointer reaches the desired heading. Required rudder is applied smoothly and automatically. The new commercial Sperry Gyro-Pilot can be used with any conventional type of steering gear which utilizes a linear valve stroking mechanism. Precise heading data is supplied to the Gyro-Pilot by the Sperry Mark 14 Gyro-Compass. A control lever on the steering stand permits instantaneous changing from gyro to hand steering or switching to other means such as hydraulic telemotor.
