AV e dedicate tkis DO ok to . . . LIEUTENANT ROBERT R. POITRAS, USNR To Lieutenant Robert Poitras go our thanks and appreciation for his indefatigable interest and invaluable guidance during our three years as Midshipman. We as a class have been very fortunate to have such an outstanding naval of- ficer as both an instructor and a friend. This association has graciously given us a better under- standing and a clearer vision of what a good of- ficer is and what it takes to become one. For all of this, we, the Class of 1958 sincerely acknowledge our appreciation by dedicating to him our year- book. JOHN F. KENNEDY MASSACHUSETTS COMMITTEES: Foreign Reuations Labor and Public Welfare ' Cniicb l xie S}enaic WASHINGTON, D. C. TO THE CLASS OF 1958: pittsf: I want to take this opportunity to congratulate each Midshipman of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy who will graduate with the Class of 1958. Before each of you came to the Academy you had an excellent background. Yours was a record of success in all your undertakings and your work at the Academy has been no exception. Your records show that you are men who have been enthusiastic, who took your duties seriously and who carried them out faithfully. sh. 11 always think o f you as men who possess a great love and devotion to your country. To me you are men of honor and integrity and above all true Americans. You should be proud of your record because yours is a noble nd magnanimous work. Please add my best wishes to those you have already received from the many who wish you well. U Gentlemen of the Glass of I958: As you read this letter for the first time you :ill be poised and ready, I linoif, to take your ovjn proper places in the v:orld of men. A sorely-- troubled vrorld it is gentlemen — a world in vrhich a tryannical ideology is fighting with all its resources of mind, man, and machine t to subvert and conquer us and our friends. We must be stronp-— not only physically, with v eapons and the man them, but morally, with our mdnds and men to hearts. You are a part of that strength. As trained officers you will sv:ell the ranks of our nation s defenders if need be. As young Americans you will hold higli the ideals which we all cherish — which make our country great. As graduates of our school you x rill in due course provide a share of her n-reat tradition. These things I know, and, knowing, I wish you smooth sailing and C-odspeed. Sincerely yours 111 i an D.

FISHER Ken 15 ORANGE STREET ATTLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS Good Morning, Captain. Youngman that is not the Captain, that ' s Mr. Fisher the Battalion Commander. Yes Kenny as our Head Stripper — I mean Striper — was a good one and did an equally fine job as the class detective. Take the case of the sail locker for example or who was missing from check muster. Well Ken in his three years became a friend to all and his studious attitude earned him the privilege and honor of mother- ing the troops through their last year. (Some will un- doubtedly question it being a privilege and an honor). For the job well done let ' s hope you get an equal number of stripes in the USN. BRUCE ANTHONY YORK Rudy 3 ACUSHNET ROAD MATTAPOISETT, MASSACHUSETTS The Picasso of the Piston, the Tolstoi of the Turbine, the Cervantes of the Cylinder, need I go on? Sarge , his nickname obviously derived, came dragging into the academy and has been burning up the engineering track ever since. He is undoubtedly one of the best snipes to go through the school and certainly was a valuable aid in getting the Bay State on its feet — I mean keel. His engineering compedence earned him the highly competitive title of three striper and he soon realized people could not be made to run as smoothly as machin- ery. With this experience under his belt now, matters outside of engines should be much easier to over haul. Class Secretary Class Barber 5. . Club Yearbook Staff 20-20 Club Propeller Club Cadet Lt. Watch I WILBUR SHEPHERD Old Man VINEYARD HAVEN ROAD EDGARTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS The Old Man of the Island — no connection with Hemmingway — came to the state yacht via North Ears Airlines. After the release of a classmate, also with an appendage extrodinaire, Shep took over the 3rd class hair cutting trade. Soon he became chieftain of the famed Barberous Shop along with the position of Watch I leader. His willingness to work and compedence accounted for the rapid improvement on the Bay State and we are sure the Engineering Officers will back up the old adage: A dog is a. man ' s best friend. Keep pointing Shep and you are bound to go all the way. Doyen Dozen Propeller Club Newman Club St. Thomas Touring Club en Island Humane Society t RAYMOND D. AYERS Shawmut 328 EAST STREET HINGHAM, MASSACHUSETTS Ask Ray he Nose everything, at least he used to before the Public Health Service confiscated one of his more useful appendages. As a young man this cherished piece of anatomy was often employed to hold up the classroom walls and it also proved unbelievably successful in the war game Torpedo. Shawmut, the Hingham Indian, became one of the better engineering students during his three year stay and his congeniality, except toward the Hydrant, will long be remembered. Whether it be Navy or Mer- chant Marine let ' s hope you bury the hatchet deep in the tree of success. Baseball 1, 2, 3 Supper Club Golf Team 3 UCCL All Star 20-20 Club Newman Club LAWRENCE W. BUTLER Butts 16 LANCASTER AVENUE REVERE, MASSACHUSETTS Butsie come aboard in the wake of his brother Frank, who had fortunately been in good standing with the class of 1956. Larry would have sailed through the year with ease if his affections towards a hometown lass had not kept his heart in other places than the Fwd. compartment. After leading his section scholastically the second semester Butsie decided to become a Snipe. He made this choice against his better judgment and his later regrets concerning the move proved, as usual, he was right and the multitude of helpful advisors wrong. His determination and integrity, which was shown in many courageous incidents enables us to proudly pre- sent this profile. Basketball 1, 2, 3 Golf Team Supper Club Hole in One Club Cadet Ensign Watch I HERBERT DANIEL CASH Danny 15 MURRY ROAD HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS Danny and his wild west show pulled into the Gulch one bright August morn looking for the bogger circus. After nosing around and checking all the Mais he was unable to make up his mind so he agreed to stay for only three years. At first the riding was a little rough but soon Dan had the matters well in hand and settled down to the serious work of being a snipe. In this field he seemed to prosper and by doing everything the Wright way Boiler Division really produced. Let ' s hope his success here Carries Over into whatever stage of life he tries to give a whiil at. Just for luck we are throw- ing in a gross of horse shoes. Football 3 Basketball 1, 2, 3 Prop. Club Custodian Black Cat CHARLES D. CHORLTON Sam 1235 RIVERSIDE AVENUE SOMERSET, MASSACHUSETTS Our own Jack Armstrong almost proved that Purity is not obscurity , but after countless ribs and many revealed secrets ChoUy finally squared away. The posi- tion, Custodian of the Black Cat, was also a great help in erasing the blushings of naiveness but all one had to do was mention the USMC laundry stencils to draw that crimson color again. (It ' s probably the red of rage now so beware.) All kidding aside, for this Chic Middie with the MG, will long be remembered for his spit shine personality and we all wish the Sportster of Sommerset a Bon Voy- age — Eh? Eh? Pink Club Yearbook Staff Band Golf Team Propeller Club S. I. Club KARL LAMBERT MEYER Karl STATE ROAD EDGARTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS Karl was fortunate (?) enough to have the trail blazed by big brother Larry. The degree to which our own little Meyer impressed us was demonstrated quite visably one night in physics and also at Staten Island. Unfor- tunately his Air Ejector sprung a leak on the ' 57 Cruise and he failed to get those most important stripes. Karl di d provide us with a great deal of amusement by allowing his mail to be circulated — Oceans and Oceans of love, with a kiss on every wave. Besides being so valuable to our class, Karl offered his popular services to a certain upper job, who had recently proved MMA had no use for segregation. Basketball 2, 3 Baseball 2, 3 Ring Committee S. I. Club Propeller Club PAUL M. RUEST Stump 29 ARCADIA ROAD SWANSEA, MASSACHUSETTS Stump finding more interest in turbines than textiles reversed his polarity and entered MMA. Seeing his ap- pearance was a year later than the rest of us, it looked as though the jealousy over such a deal would create a large resistance; but with the help of an Electro- Magnetic Personality Paul soon became one of the most well liked members of the class. Despite retrogressing in the Hanka-Classes, our an- swer to Small Paul took no time in becoming an en- gineering giant. The Bombs he dropped from his Ruest often found their target and no doubt he will be equally successful in all his aims at life. Si ' : JOHN B. DUNNE The Duke 253 LAFAYETTE STREET SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS BRUCE C. ANDREWS Knute 4 CONANT ROAD MARBLEHEAD, MASSACHUSETTS For new endeavors they did leave Our school of knowledge on the seas; But with each year the Fates will weave A cloak to clothe fond memories. Yes, there are many memories of John and Bruce, even though they did not graduate with us. For over two years they played an important role in the success- ful establishment of our class. Without the aide of Knute ' s athletic prowess up- holding the Academy ' s sports throughout the New England small colleges or the Cricket ' s personality binding the class together, it would have been difficult trying to overcome the many obstacles. Good luck in whatever fields you follow and may this page be a satisfying in- dication of our sincere feelings. Honor Guard Rowing Team Plank Owner, Bay State 1st Bomber Squadron, N. Y. ROGER D. ARSENAULT Pierre FAIRVIEW AVENUE SOUTHBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS Straight from the Bainbridge Grinders came Mighty Pierre to our sandy campus. Conscientiously working for better heights, Roger miraculously stayed awake through every class period our first school year. Most everyone thought Stump was going to get em but through some twist of fate he ended up lugging two stripes around the foc ' sle with Paquito Pablo. From Baltimore to Boston the chief skivvie raider ' s hearty laugh preserved our cheery environment. With the advent of the Bay State the atmosphere became ripe for future plans and Roger ' s Bomber Squadron went into action. Who else could convince a half-a-dozen class- mates they were invited to supper on a Chinese tanker? The frenchman was respected by all especially the youngies and should make out anywhere except Mar- tha ' s Vineyard. Bandmaster Stolen Island Humane Society Yearbook Staff Music Appreciation Club Bogger Inc. JOHN BRADLEY III Omar MAIN STREET COTUIT, MASSACHUSETTS Jack, a transplanted Bogger from Rhode Island, was the delight of the upper-jobs; especially after many ad- ventures in the poison ivy patches on the Cape. The lack of cash was no obstacle to this journeyman of jazz for who else could stay two weeks in N. Y. on four dollars or start a cruise with seven? No matter what his assets Jack would be sure to have box seats whenever or wherever a jazz band was playing. Ohms broke all the sack records when for four days and four nights he slept at B. M. H. while specialists e.xamined his nonmotivational mechanics — all kidding aside Jack you ' ll make a great mate and we ' ll be looking for you in New Orleans. Drill Squad Glee Club Yearbook Staff R. S. L. Cadet Lt, (Retired) Doyan Dozen Honor Guard Plank Owner, Bay State CHARLES DAVID COLLIS Arrogant MONUMENT ROAD BOURNE, MASSACHUSETTS As Youngies the laundry situation presented no prob- lem to the Arrogant One, but as far as we can see it was the only advantage of being a Bogger. Nevertheless Charlie took everything in stride and considered himself a very special bogger — not like those lower cape phonies. Despite a bit of arrogance, bitter Charlie managed to stay out of trouble and by making the most of his first two years he became Third Division ' s two-striper. Let ' s have a purge! Those youngies are getting away with murder. This was his familiar cry as he saundered off to turn-to. Following three years behind his brother, Charlie is heading for the sea. Good luck and don ' t forget to wind the chronometers. Honor Guard Plank Owner, Bay Stale S. J. A. Vice Pres. Swimming Team Co-Capt. ROBERT I. DONNELLAN Louie 197 KING STREET FALMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS There was a fair breeze blowing as Bogger Bob tacked across the Cape Cod Canal to join our roguish ranks. Playing it cool the first two years Louis got by Spanish and trigonometry, then pointing his head Full ' N by he overtook us all to become the saltiest below the bridger to ever treach a foot rope. His excellence in seamanship earned him a berth on the Doyen ' s first cruise. Whenever small craft warnings were up, Bob could be seen sailing out of the Falmouth Harbor with his boat full of passengers from Sagamore Beach. Louis went honkin once too often and got himself a ticket on route 28, but he left the country just in time and his right foot is still made of lead. Good luck Bob and it ' ll be a shame if you do not marry the sea. Newman Club 20-20 Club Swimming Team Pres. T. C. S. ROBERT L. KNIGHT 39 REGATTA ROAD NORTH WEYMOUTH, MASSA CHUSETTS Bob came to us from Weymouth by the sea. Aspiring to be an engineer he became second in command of the inboard starboard aisle with his leader, Henry. Bob will be remembered for his diversified pranks and happy- go-lucky antics. (Finding the Charleston ' s decks perfect for playing commandos until one night he was taken pris- oner and escorted below). After his engineering career folded Bob directed his attention to the deck subjects, such as shinnying up masts, and swinging from yardarm to yardarm. Courses in flashing light also came in handy around the Great Hill area. No matter where the fates will lead him, a turn of the card or the roll of dice will always bring a winner. RONALD MASON Mace 53 GALE ROAD EAST WEYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Anybody seen my barbells? Mace came to us with his Weighty Weymouth Ways and hoped to establish a new Health Center. With the acquiring of the new ship, Ron wasted no time in getting things organized and the help he received was overpowering. (Well for most of us it would have been). Soon the cans of protein food became more numerous and beach muscles filled over- sized khakis. Yes the Mason Men were certainly good models for Al. Outside of interest in sports, Mace assumed the task of gaining a Mate ' s ticket and did a fine job develop- ing along these lines too. His fine record here will no doubt clean and jerk him to great success in years to come. Football 1, 2, 3 Basketball 1, 2 Rowing Team M. W. A. Club 0820 Club DONALD L. SINCLAIR Moose 10 QUINN STREET NORTH ATTLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS With a loud roaring blast out of the Attleboro woods came Moose. With head lowered and antlers set he charged the fawn-like academy too become one of its proud members. After a year of cutie Jordan the Moose finally took off on his own. Like the many others, engineering could not be had so with all the gusto of a true Deckie he joined Mike and the boys. With sextant in hand and a marlin spike in the other he set out to show his seamanship ability and blow me down, yelled the Whale when Moose became one of the better deck apes. His work here shows he can do it so good luck to a great shipmate. ROBERT FRIMODIG Frimo WEST MAIN STREET HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS The bogger with the Persperation Personality came to Cape Carnival one August morn and stayed on the merry-go-i-ound for three thrilling years. Despite his mad hatter like actions Frimo managed to become one of our most industrious engineers and with this to his credit he was deservingly awarded the position, Squad- ron Leader of the Flying Turbines. Regardless of his Lust for Leave, Frimo never made a bow line exit, although the scoffs of his classmates often reddened his sparsely populated scalp. This ex- ample of firm resolution coupled with a burning desire for knowledge has brought and will continue to bring success to this Smiling Bogger Batchelor. Baseball 1, 2, 3 S. I. Club Century Club Newman Club Propeller Club Cadet Ensign Watch I Manager Fantail Theatre GEORGE EDWARD CULL 71 BATES STREET NORTH ABINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS Brruppt — Let George do it — George, our sea-going interior decorator, turned his stateroom into a floating palace and then with the vigor of a youngie success- fully tackled the Rec. deck. This Abington Academician, when not bounding about, would devote his energy to holding up a Mass. — Florida Bridge of Amour. Un- fortunately when the Florida end came north George ' s speed in getting his message across was not enough and everything collapsed except our lover ' s lungs. His Angus-like persistence was a valuable aid to us and as a result of the 2nd job Cullering Classes the bare Bay State bulkheads received many needed coats of paint. Adieu Georgey and let ' s hope you don ' t bite off more than you can chew. Glee Club Drill Team Swimming Team Track Team Port Aisle PA Staten Island Humane Society ROBERT L. GOODWIN Sid 5 ENNIS ROAD ROXBURY, MASSACHUSETTS Goodiano, President of the Press, Sulton of the Soap, Duke of the Drier entered MM A with (really trully Bigg idea-ers.) The Nube took command of the laundry with the same know how he had for handling the opposite sex. After two years he finally had mastered the wash- ing end — nothing need be said of his advancement in the field of armour after the Houston, Staten Island, and Corpus Christi catastrophies. Despite this well lubricated Middle ' s quick thinking and amazing oracle ability his battles with a spouting whale never resulted in Gooda-Wins. Seeing it ' s Navy Bob, good luck and if you ever have to punish your men just fix them up. 0- CHESTER F. KEANE Basher 32 MAXFIELD STREET WEST ROXBURY, MASSACHUSETTS Chester ' s aversion to any nicknames except those little gems of originality Chet and Chetsie, along with his re- fusal to be dug at in the glorious pages of this antic annual, gave the prospect of writing his profile a night- marish quality. But after weeks of conferences and many sleepless nights we wriggled out of the predicament in time honored fashion. Books could be written on our answer to Porifirio Rubirosa and his ' 57 cruise, but fortunately the time, space, and Chester ' s permission could never be obtained. If this beloved plugger manages to stay out of the hands of rival renegades he of the shining dome will have the long and happy life which he most certainly deserves. Vice Pres. Class Secretary Newman Club Propeller Club WILLIAM JOHN McDONOUGH Mac 110 ALBAN STREET DORCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS After putting four years in the Anchors Aweigh Outfit, Mac decided to spend his leisure time on Old Cape Cod. What started out to be a vacation resulted in a vocation; thus, three more years sapped from his adventurous, seafaring life. Mac took little time in es- tablishing himself; but unfortunately his previous train- ing, as one of Uncle Sam ' s Closest Accountants, was out-ranked by the state ' s capable Supply Officer. Des- pite this, Mac went conscientiously right ahead and in a short time became recognized as one of the more hard working and sincere engineers. His firmly found- ed principles and quick Irish temper occasionally slow- ed him down, but as a result of his mature outlook on life he will always be good for a winner.

What is that coming toward the CHN? It ' s a whale sir . . . Sure enough, out of the depths of Atlantis or was it Attleboro?, came the Maritime ' s Massive Mid- die. Ron, following in the wake of his brother, floated right through his three years, and as a result of an occasional dive into the books, he achieved an engin- eering record comparable to the best of them. In order to complete the picture or profile for such a large frame, we should include some of Ron ' s other Sal-ient features. His fun-loving natuie, especially on liberty with the Sinister Six, along with his desires to get Goodiano all worked up have placed him high on our Personality Parade. Good luck Ron and keep floating up on top. Football 1, 2, 3 Basketball Manager 1, Rowing Team Onset Crusader Sons of Italy I 1 MICHAEL P. POLLETTA Black Bart 16 BEACON STREET AMESBURY, MASSACHUSETTS Mike, or as he prefers, Black Bart, came to us via the Merrimac River command and a group called Uncle Sam ' s white hats. Throughout the youngie year his wild tales roared into the ears of classmates until finally he got bored and most of all they got bored. When I was in the navy we used to do it this way — or — Boy wouldn ' t I like to be back in old San Juan — come let me tell you about it. No one could tell Mike though, but finally he met his match when trying to skipper a small motor boat off the tricky waters of Salsbury beach. Did your G get above M? Well Mike, your persistent way will undoubtedly bring you that Jaguar and Master ' s ticket and let ' s hope you don ' t get too close to the breakers off Madagasca. JOHN PATRICK CALLAHAN Cal 74 WESTERN AVENUE LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS Hey there ' s a great movie on TV tonight — these immortal words were often heard flowing from the lips of the one and only T V Calavision. Many nights throughout his glorious three years Jack could be seen peering from behind stanchions, mess-deck tables, or any other object that would conceal his presence from the upper-jobs or some wandering O. D. However dur- ing his off hours Jack used his soap opera knowledge giving advice to his love sick cousin Moon-Man or else travel with the Shadow. Well Jack be good and don ' t forget to miss those afternoon Calanaps. Gorge S. J. A. Pres. Polar Bear Club Vice Pres. S. P. Q. Swimming Team Co-Capt. Sons of Italy MICHAEL CAPELOTTI Shadow 62 NORTH WARREN AVENUE BROCKTON, MASSACHUSETTS Sw-w-wish and there appeared on the quarter-deck, with port hole and fire axe in hand, Mike alias the Shadow. For two years he was the quiet reserved type and as everyone knows build up quite a reserve of new ghost tricks to be used later as the class phantom. Mike became so proficient in his trade he couldn ' t be located for a whole weekend. Unfortunately one night he forgot to put on his sneak-boots and got caught going up forward for a drink of water (?). Good luck to a swell shipmate and smooth sailing as third mate on the Flying Dutchman on the New Jersey run. Sinister Club T. C. S. Club Barbados Pottery Assn. Ring Dance Committee Supper Club S. I. H. S. JOHN W. DALTON Turtle 139 BLUE HILL AVENUE MILTON, MASSACHUSETTS The Turtle brought his odd shape down from the Blue Hills and upon viewing the situation quickly withdrew his body. After things got moving our Mal-like Middie poked his head and legs out from under the shell and with Moose and Mac at his side nary a stone was left unturned. The hare-like speed in which he grasped the deck subjects placed him high in the class and showed the engineers a big mistake was made in not getting him. Like Hank, Herby and the rest of the Blue Hills Bunch, John is going navy to inject some original mal-ism into the saintly salts. Good luck. E. ALLEN DILL Ballsie 35 NORFOLK STREET WALPOLE, MASSACHUSETTS Look in the bunk! Is it Have Car, Simpson? No it ' s Top Sheet alias Al, President of the Horizontal Club and by far the most cozy of all Dickie ' s Deckies. Of course no one will ever forget him and his friend in N. Y. when they pulled the cozy of the year. They say Al taught the Shadow all he knew while spending his weekends in Brockton, but the boys all thought different and since all good things come to an end so did this infamous riding companion of Have Car when a certain She caught his. Good luck to a swell shipmate and a fine friend. Honor Guard Plank Owner R. S. L. Pres. B. B. to Brockton Club Cadet Ensign (Retired) Old Guard Watch Four Glee Club Director Business Mgr.

It wasn ' t long before Seagull became famous for the weighty quantity of chow he could put away and was even accused of devouring one of his classmates. When the Bay State returned from N. Y. Jack could always be seen with his fingers in the batter of a giant cake or a bubbling cald- ron of fudge. A businessman at heart. Gull converted his salesman- ship from Jerry ' s to the Muster Advertising Staff and if his ad campaign is any indication of a successful future he is sure to have it as a main course through- out his life.

Many hours of sleep were lost as Richie traced out lines on the Charleston, not to mention the hours of pure bilge maintenance. Football was Rich ' s main interest however Algebra and Trig were close behind. (Perhaps he can still write pages 15 and 16 from memory.) At the commencement of our second year, Bug ' s dreams of being an engineer were shattered. He contemplated resigning but then decided to at least take a look at the Rules of the Road. Dorchester has never seen a better seaman or coxswain. No kidding Rich you did have the right of away in Havanna Harbor.

Af- ter a quick tour around the campus, seeing which door led where etc., Charlie started on the Road adjusting to his new environment. In no time at all the three year fate was accepted and he proceeded to ride the horse Conquest all over the academic and athletic plains. As a first job, between Keats and Kings or Hank and Huxley, El Campos kept an unusual ly busy schedule — after two years of stalling — and managed to put out the Yearbook on time. Whether it be Merch or Navy for our Rhyming Mar- iner we know he ' ll do good in all Fields — even Shrimp- ing. Class President Basketball Pres. Newman Club PAUL D. HARRINGTON Hop 35 WINTER ISLAND ROAD SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS One dark August night Uncle Joe was seen placing a box on the quarter deck and then scurrying off in the Wind Drift. To everyone ' s surprise the box contained another Harrington. This door step, I should say quarter deck, waif soon became well known and took over the reins as Class Prexy. Apparently Uncle Joe did not know what he was leaving, for as a result of Paul ' s silver tongue and diplomatic nature many a Middle has prospered. What ever profession Paul enters we all know his smarts, which were suppressed by the system, will bring him great success. Doyen Dozen Horizontal Club Vice Pres.

Mo joined friend JJ one torrid Tuesday in August and by the time night had arrived he realized the hor- rible hoax his friend had pulled off. Being a good sport and a person that appreciates high humor, he quickly made the adjustment and got through the three year joke in better spirits than his more conscientious class- mates. Although only a tint of his talent was em- ployed while playing the Middie role, Mo ' s potential will soon come forth and lead him to the limelight of life.

After spending several years around the local circuit he finally got his break with the big time by signing up with the Mariners. Although it was only a three year contract with no bonus involved, Okie played his heart out and always took two and hit to right. His record while up with the Mariners was one to be proud of, and if this Brockton Heavyweight (no connection with Rocky) hits away at his ambit ions with the same strong level swing he used on the books, his average in life is bound to be well over the .300 mark.

Plymouth ' s assurance for postei ' ity? No-one knows, for he could never be found to question. Winsor T., better known as Sava- (Plus any convenient affix) spent his most formative three years hidden among the literature of the ages and an occasional engineering test. His seclusion often brought about many humor- ous comments, but everyone understood he was only working on another Sava-Theory and could not stand the Mire of Middiedom or any Task that went with it to interfere. Winsor Shrugged, as the result of a fiuit- less first year, under the heavy thumb of a certain mas- sive middie, but on discovering new and interesting fields he quickly regained his strength. Undoubtedly he is On the Road to what will be his Fountainhead and if he lives up to the expectations of those that Know, all of Plymouth ' s history will be lost in the Sava- Shadow.

The combination of a quick red temper, obliging yellow Ford, and a zest for gold stripes almost painted a sorry picture for our hydrant friend, but after a short cooling off period he bounced right back to become the hardest worker watch III ever had. Occasionally his patriotism over flowed on liberty, but the luck of the Irish finally gave out when a certain piece of green and white canvas disappeared. (He should have checked the Son ' s of Italy ' s Rag Dept.) Seeing Red ' s love for the sea is as strong as his other feelings the ship of success will undoubtedly seek him out for skipper. 20-20 Club St. Thomas Touring Club Staten Island Humane Society Propeller Club FRANCIS B. WASHBURN 859 UNION STREET ROCKLAND, MASSACHUSETTS Fran, Fred, Franny or what have you, came to us just as sweet as those famous Washburn Candies. Ap- parently the Bronze Baby Doll was marked fragile for everytime a leave period came around he would spend his duty under the doctor ' s care — or was it the secre- tary ' s? After going through eight auto accidents, one of which while touring the beautiful isle of St. Thomas, it is a wonder his pedestal-like piece of anatomy is still intact. Well despite all the necking Fran has done, he managed to devote some time to the academy; in fact the extreme attention shown toward Lofty Lopas almost resulted in two stripes. Seeing it is a one way train ticket to — the Navy, best of luck. WILLIAM REID RUSSELL MANNING Yearbook Staff Librarian S. J. A. Swimming Team Plank Owner, Bay State JOHN B. STETSON Zeke 40 GLEN AVENUE BROCKTON, MASSACHUSETTS Zeke, one of the most capable members of the An- chorage, jumped from one stripe to two as the refult of a companion ' s Colussal fubar. Under the tutelege of Mr. Page this Chloride Cadet decorated our rear end with the finesse of a French Fashion Designer; in fact his bustling about back there caused things to really boom. Yes, Zeke was quite the bumper and I think we ' ll all agree on the fine job he did guarding the Mechanical Pig, a certain officer ' s Pride and Joy. After scraping the salt off his three year achievement report, we find it to predict many seasons of success ahead. Don ' t make them too spicey Old Yank. GERALD J. McCORMICK Mac NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND Gerry (What size hat does he wear?) came to us via USN tradition and in no time took such an interest in his Middle life, a new company was started. With Sully as 1st Lt., the Onset Raiders spread fame and glory throughout Buzzard ' s Gulch and thanks to Mac ' s calm temper harm came to nobody. With a touch of the old south in him, Gerry, mint- julip-like, sipped through the deck course and became one of the more proficient hurlers of the heaving line. He also became quite good heaving around the basket- ball court and football field. Seeing it ' s back to USN, Gerry, this time not family wise, good luck and smooth sailing.

Yes they actually heard fog signals the day this bouncing bogger step onto the Chun. Finding things a little different than his brother (Jim being a deckman) the three year ordeal became nothing more than a typical Upper Cape calam- ity. Soon the situation got well in hand and Jim became one of the famous Bag-men. Now he could legitimately act like an ape. Theie sifted up from below the canal reports concerning Jim ' s sailing ability, especially the clever manuevering with a certain Commander ' s boat. Of course any such report about this Hyannis Hero must have been shear nonsense. Whether it was true or not, we all know the fog will soon lift and display a successful future.

As a youngie he went about comparitively unnoticed but he took no time in blossoming out into one of the better Deckmen. Hey — hey — hey — Hey!!! Do you all agree?

PETIT Nick 133 BEDFORD STREET NEW BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS Nick, the energetic student having something none of us will ever possess, hailed in from the old whaling town of New Bedford to become one of the better deck apes. Because of his serenety we almost forgot Ungatah ' s Indian deriviation and the fine job he did as Chieftain of the Black Foots. Among his other accomplishments was his ability to hold the road with his economical Chevy and to become the first dangerous Middie to hit Puerto Rico. After his excellent bookkeeping job in New York this Maritime Midas should also be the first grad to hit the million mark. Take care Nick and stay away from those conniving Capetowners who hear you want to ship their way.

JOSEPH FRANCIS BRADLEY Joe 3 SPAULDING STREET DORCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS For Boston, For Boston Jolly Joe, the Rah Rah Middle, meandered down from Boston ' s Bedroom City to rouse some of the salty spirits luriiing about. Ac- cording to the Academy ' s Medicine Man, Joe ' s hearty laugh (I should say squeal) and all round humorous nature was just what the One-Weekenders needed to safely, sanely, and successfully survive that first frantic year. Along with a pleasing personality he brought a proficiency for engineering which can be partially at- tributed to his time spent at the Maritime ' s prep school, Northeastern University. As a member of the Sinister Six Joe got involved in a pottery scandal, but like all Middle mishaps everything was quickly patched up. Re- gardless where you go, good luck; but for the sake of island harmony stay clear of Barbadoes. Football 1, 2, 3 Basketball 1 Rowing Team 1, 2, 3 Glee Club 1, 2, 3 Pres. Z. O. O. B.

Second Class Engineers Third Class Group B We the Class of 1958, in the most sincere respect, devote this page of our Year Book in memory of: JOHN FRANCIS FITZGERALD and SIDNEY BRADFORD SANFORD (1 s M:..Vi ' ) • • J- 2 V o ' V S UJ C9 5 oOi o ■V- . -1 V V History of tke Academy Since the colonization of our country, in 1620, Massachusetts has always been a state which de- pended on the sea; therefore, it is only natural that it be one of the first to initiate a school dedi- cated to the maritime field. In 1891, the Massachusetts Nautical School, now Massachusetts Maritime Academy, was founded with the USS ENTERPRISE as a training vessel. The cadets traveled the seven seas, acquiring the knowledge necessary to become a trained officer in the Merchant Marine. After sixteen productive years the USS EN- TEHIPRISE was replaced by the barkentine RAN- GER which was later renamed the USS NAN- TUCKET, or as more commonly called by her numerous graduates, the Nancy . The NAN- TUCKET served the school well through long years, and the cadets enrolled spread seeds of friendship and good will in all the ports in which they anchored. With the imminence of war, the facilities were greatly increased by the acquiring of the shore base at Hyannis in 1941. Throughout these trying years the importance of the school was realized as the graduates proved their capabilities in the US Navy and the Merchant Marine. In 1948 the Midshipmen of Massachusetts Mari- time Academy traveled to San Francisco and board- ed a new training ship, the gunboat CHARLES- TON which was acquired from the Maritime Com- mission. Returning to Cape Cod, it was found that the CHARLESTON could most easily be moored at the State Pier in Buzzards Bay. After altering the building on State Pier into classrooms the Academy was relocated there, with plans under considera- tion for the further development of dormitory, lab- oratories, and office facilities. Although there was no development along these lines the academy acquired the new training ship DOYEN in the summer of 1957. The CHARLES- TON had served almost ten faithful years but the BAY STATE (newly adopted name) provided much better living quarters and was able to meet the ex- panding situation. The BAY STATE became the prime concern of the Class of 1958 and after sev- eral months of outfitting in a Staten Island Ship- yard it returned to the Bay to await the construc- tion of adequate berthing. One year later with a new ship and finger pier the Academy has settled down to plan the next step in making the Massa- chusetts Maritime Academy an institution which keeps abreast with the modern times. Who is best qualified to write a Class History? From past observation I have noticed that when a group pools its ideas or when one person tries to recall the outstanding class events, the result is usually diary-like prose. In order to avoid this, I have accepted the History from some friends who have carefully observed and taken note of our class during the past three years. To some it might be a shock to have outsiders handle this project, but after reading their report I sincerely believe they are amply qualified and successful in their undertaking. Since you are all probably skeptical as to who these contributors are, I shall be glad to enlight- en you. The so-called Editor-in-Chief is a very erudite cockroach, known in higher scientific cir- cles as Professor Blatta Orientales. I first met the Prof, en route from Madeira. He was ferociously arguing with two racing pigeons, who happened to C T JLj lJ A 5 o be enjoying an evening ' s snack of bird seed in the forward head showers. Believe me, I was as as- tounded as you probably are now, for who ever heard of talking birds and roaches. Well, never- theless, it happened, and since I was a messcook with a full night ' s sleep awaiting me, I proceeded to join in the argument. Just by coincidence the spat pertained to the writing of our Class History and it took the constant flapping of wet wings to harness my enthusiasm. Finally the Prof, and I won the confidence of the two flighty characters and they agreed to aid in writing the History. Unfortunately they could only sign a six-month contract, but despite this handi- cap and many others to follow, the Professor kept plugging away until he had successfully and I regretfully add posthumously — completed the following three-year report: It all started on a hot August day in the year 1955. I happened to be sunning myself on the midships hatch coaming and had planned on a restful day, when to my surprise they (what they were is hard to describe) a group of strange, be- wildered young men, started to arrive in unusual fashion. Their dress was of a kind I had never seen and their confused actions drove me to scurry down to the Engineer ' s Compartment and seek the advice of my helpful friend, K. T. Shine. He quickly explain- ed that this was the day the new third class was arriving and if I could be of any help he ' d appre- ciate it. Well, you can imagine how I felt, for there is nothing more I enjoy than helping the underdog. As the day went by the entire class was logged in and (in some cases) rapidly logged out. The odds for the about facers were obviously too steep; during the first few weeks some came and some went in a most unusual manner. One incident that stays with me is the time a youngie , this be- ing their new christian name, went out to clean a swab and never returned. At least the swab was found, to the almost delirious O D ' s Pleasure. Yes, those first few weeks were rather hectic for the responsible O D ' s, but things finally settled down and those who left were soon replaced by a few late comers. After the Supply Officer had finished adding to the confusion and classes started, life at M.M.A. be- gan to take its old irregular shape. As I recall, the following routine was quickly adjusted to and I think if this report is being read years from now it will bring back many memories to the reader. 0600 — Reveille. Mid watch only sleep late. 0610 — First call to formation. 0615 — Turn to on cleaning stations. 0630 — Up all idlers. 0640 — Knock off work. Stow gear. Light smoking lamp. 0645 — Breakfast for watches below. 0740 — First call to morning formation. 0745 — Morning formation, marching, and colors. 0800— Classes. 0945— Break. 1000 — Resume classes. 1145 — End morning classes. 1200 — Dinner formation. Dinner for watches below. 1240 — First call to afternoon classes. 1530 — End afternoon classes. 1545 — Sweep down all decks and spaces, 1-50 studies 1725 — Supper formation. Supper for watches below. 1840 — First call to evening studies. 2000 — Resume studies. 1945— Break. 2045 — End evening studies. Clean sweep down. 2150 — Tattoo. Out smoking lamp. 2200— Taps. Lights out. Memories, oh yes, memoiiesi That was quite a life, I must say; but you, my reminiscent reader, are probably still rising and setting to a set sched- ule. Occasionally the new executive officer — a female one this time — allows you a few liberties, but let ' s face it; you are still under the old rules and regs. Pardon my forecasting of the future, but every time I crawl onto this shiny, brass door knob — I think it leads to the wardroom — I feel as though the mystic powers of the prophets are within my grasp. Oh dear!! I see a hand coming toward me. Pardon me while I scamper for safety. Whew! These careless Middies with their uncoordinated feet and dangerous hands. It is a good thing the first class, now experts in in- secticide, wear shiny class rings and strut about with youngie spit shines or this report would never be completed. Well, with the routine deeply entrenched in the new Middle minds, day after day passed with the ever-hopeful horizon of liberty becoming their obsession. Finally a break came in the announce- ing of the annual Ring Dance. It was a fine time for all according to the Sunday night loud mouths, and the youngies even had a chance to see the thought of animals as real human beings. But like all systematic things the pattern was quickly re- sumed and the next hopeful sight that obsessed them was dry dock. The rushing about and the continuous formations, work details, and classes made time seem to fly by. Finally the Chun headed for Boston, with the doubters of its abil- ity to move found eating their pessimistic state- ments. Dry dock was a valuable experience for the new salts, but since they were forever coming and going from home, I had very little time to hear their hardened sea stories. At first I did not mind their absence at night, but after a week of it I packed my bags, (in case you are interested they were made from carefully carved pieces of chewed fingernail), and happily spent the remainder of the time with some Beacon Hill friends (decendents of the Mayflower Roaches so they claim). With dry dock over and the Chun snugly secured to the finger pier or vice versa, the Middies settled down to classes, messcooking, turn to ' s, football games, and an occasional liberty. Then at last it came — final exams and the long awaited Xmas leave that follows. But like all thrills it lasted only a short time. Back to the grind, the often repeated phrase, was justifiably uttered this year for the cruise wasn ' t to begin until March. Stores to carry and cold Canal winds week by week lowered the youngie morale, but finally the holds were full of ham and the Chun was off again. Could it make it across? How about that leak up forward? These were the remarks made by those who once doubted her capability to move; now they questioned her endurance. Well, I for one was very doubtful. When you get around like I do and I mean by around over, under, and in, there are some very unseaworthy things that strike your eye. Take the case of one of my roach friends — may his shell rest in peace. One night he started to shower under a peak tank petcock and as he reached for his sliver of Bobby-Jobby soap, water came through the bulk- head and wiped him out; not even giving him a chance to die like a true roach, under the foot of some assassin. This incident led me to inspect further for my own safety ' s sake and to my sur- prise I found all kinds of goodies which the Mid- dies had obviously brought along for me. By the time we had reached Bermuda, I had gained a disgusting tenth of an ounce. Bermuda, with its beauty and serenity, was a fine port to visit first. During the stay the beauty en- dured, but unfortunately the serenity was quickly lost in the roars of open-throttled motor bikes and the moans of skinned-nose drivers. All in all it was a fine time and plenty of frolicking was stored up in anticipation of the long trip across. After spending some unexpected time for re- pairs, we were on our way. The weather was per- fect the whole trip and soon before our eyes (in case you ' re curious I do have eyes) was the Rock which one normally sees only in geography books. Centuries and centuries were being invaded and I hope the boys realize now, if not then, how fortunate they were to be entering not in quest of blood shed but only for fun and adventure. Yes, there was much to enjoy a nd learn from here on in, and as the Chun came to rest at the base of the Majestic Mound , liberty hounds could be seen scampering about with a newly developed contin- ental look on their faces. The small shops, nar- row streets, and M. M. A. ' ish formality in the changing of the guard or as we say relieving the watch, proved to be the most fascinating sights. With gifts safely stored and fuel tanks filled, off we went this time for Cognac Country. Marseilles, on the rugged coast of France, soon loomed off the port bow. The tricky entrance to the old harbor gave many a gambling Middie a new game to play — 10 to 1 we don ' t make it — but through the skill of a pilot the Chun success- fully slivered into its berth, stern-to over the Main Street. (Don ' t get me wrong you outside read- ers, for this was the actual arranged docking space.) The Middies quickly heard the call for liberty and the intrigue of a foreign city soon enveloped them; in fact, it did so too much, for the port as a result received the rating of least interesting. Well, those who found Marseilles not to their liking were satisfied a short time later on our arrival at Barcelona. The Spanish beauty in all shape and manner mixed with a portion of post- lenten festivities provided unforgettable pleasure for all. In fact, the boys enjoyed this port so much that it unanimously became number one on the cruise rating list. As we left one could see the disappointment of many senorita swayed Middies, and even I must blushingly admit to some fond memories of a little Spanish Fly. The coldness of Genoa quickly froze the warmth of Barcelona, but in complete disregard, off the Middies went on their respective trips to Rome, Florence, Lake Como, or the beautiful countryside. The freedom from shipboard routine was like a wonder drug and to one infamous Middle the free- dom almost became permanent. As we left Italy everyone was in high spirits, for this was the homeward road. Tangiers was the first stop after a quick fueling in Ceuta and according to most reports they wished the stay was as short as the fueling. The exotic beauty and strange customs were unfortunately marred by the continual harrassment of the street urchins and even I was bothered by the many Roach guides and eager merchants. But like the others I got even by trading my old excess clothing for the wares of a watefront Roach, who boasted of speaking 10 languages. Out of Tangiers and out of the Med — Madeira next. The Portuguese island with its tall terrain was seen far out to sea and as we approached even I could note its disgusting cleanliness and quaint- ness. Soon it became a welcomed part of us and a relaxing time was spent sampling the fine wines, purchasing the skillfully embroidered linen, and enjoying the famous toboggan ride. Someone, as I later found out, purchased more than linen, and it ironically turned out to be to this Professor and his report ' s advantage. I might as well tell you now, for they have been hounding me to give them more acknowledgement. One night I had a terrible dream of the ship sinking and I found myself sleep-crawling up to the life jacket locker. To my surprise two pigeons were comfortably resting and enjoying a mid- night snack. Seeing my plight, they sympatheti- cally invited me to join them. Briefly that is how it all started; I now turn the stage, I should say the quarterdeck, over to them. We do not know exactly how to introduce our- selves, but if we were described as two talking pigeons, no complaints would be made. This situa- tion was all very strange to us, for of all the com- bat we saw carrying messages in the war, nothing appeared as humiliating and ridiculous as being captured by a bird-loving Middle — we believe this is what they call their clan — and unjustly included with the fezes, linen, music boxes, and other Pescado purchases. Our home was a dark, eerie locker. Imagine two World War II heroes given this for a roost. Well, as time went by and we had a chance to see how the others lived, the complaints were quickly withdrawn. Things were going along pret- ty well until that famous night in the showers. With our billing and cooing we might appear to have no morals, but at least we allow friends pri- vacy in the showeis without having seagoing police- men — we believe they are called Master-at-Arms — checking for immoral acts. Apparently this khaki cop took things wrong and spread the word, for during the next few months all kinds of inti- mate coos could be heard ushering from his mess- deck hangout. You can see why we refused at first to aid in the writing of this History. We had never been across the Atlantic before so the trip to San Juan was quite an experience. The Middies, already salts at it, showed their home- ward happiness through their tanned faces and when Morro Castle appeared, the grins grew even broader. This port gave everyone a chance to get that American feeling again and after a few days off, we were ready for the states. Baltimore was the first American city we had ever seen. To us it meant liberty and freedom, but the Middies, who often prove to be typical, un- appreciative tourists, took off for the Capital (D. C). The time, as we say, flew by and before you could say 86 the Boston Custom House was loom- ing before us. The greetings of parents, unloading of gifts, (and that included us), lasted all day. From what we heard around our new home, the ship went back to their Bay and afu-r a few days leave the routine, which was grumbled about so of- ten, was resumed. After we had learned the locale and took a liking to our trainer, trips to the Home of the Mids became frequent. It was a long fly down but we would do anything to see if the system was as . . . well, like they said it was. They were right. Trips later we found the baseball team going strong and the first class busy with finals. Then came our last flight. It was a day of boat races and saying good-by. As we flew over, greeting a few of the Bogger gulls, nostalgically we observed the cycle that the Prof, had so often described complete itself with the going of an- other class. With my pigeon assistants gone and the upper jobs off to the Seven Seas, I was left alone with only the third and second class. I should be more considerate and say new second and first class for after a short — and I mean short — summer leave, they returned to find a whole crop of eager young men awaiting their wrath. The routine of breaking in a new group immed- iately began. All the schemes and plans that were imagined were put into practice with much enthu- siasm and joy. I could hear them all day long and half the night: Just think, we are second jobs now! These were some of the satisfying commands they could finally bark, for it was their job to keep things clean. Under the supervision of the long- suppressed snappers deck plates took on a new luster, swabs moved faster and even reached under the bunks. Yes, the cycle had truly completed itself. Soon the Ring Dance was upon them and as sec- ond jobs the novelty had worn off, but thanks to a little Parker House Artillary Party all went off successfully. Of course they weren ' t as original as the first class ' s Pent House Panic with acrobats walking on ledges and TV ' s, but after all they had a whole year ahead to develop their MALism. Dry Dock came next, but it was soon lost in the tangled thoughts of classes, two weekends off a month (three for the clever 20-20 club), and the ever so awaited finals. With these complete, Xmas leave began and nothing seemed more pre- cious, though there was more time off than the previous year. Each day of freedom was chewed and well digested, for the return to the Bay spelled CRUISE. Most of the boys were eager to leave, for the weather was getting extremely cold and with an itinerary listing such ports as Panama and Barran- quilla, nothing could hold them back. No, not even the thought of ham. On a bleak, windy, typi- cal Bay day, the Chun headed south, as the Middies waved good-byes with nothing on their minds but the soft, tropical winds, stimulating Calypso, and sun-giving Benies. The trip down was comparatively good except for the usual Cape Hatteras hassle. Finally Guan- tanamo Bay, the Navy ' s winter playground, came into view. At the time I was crawling through the wardroom and overheard talk involving liberty. Sure enough City Hall was tampering again. Due to this and that, liberty will be from 1300 to 1800. You can imagine how tee ' d off I was after spending a Rock and Roll week coming down. Well, sulkingly I crawled back to the compartment, for who can argue with the Almighty? As it was, the port did not have too much to offer, except the base facilities, and off we went for St. Thomas. Here we all found what we wanted, whether it be sight-seeing, frolicking (a word with a thous- and meanings), or just plain adventure. A few of the greedier second class stuffed themselves with all of this through the medium of a touring car, but like most gluttons they received belly aches from it. This appeared to be the port of transportational tragedy, for two of the first class, apparently posing as natives, paddled out to the anchorage in a crude bum boat only to be detected by their white skins. The G. I. lingo of one was what gave me the tip off. With everyone finally accounted for, we were on our way again. From here to Barranquilla, ports of call includ- ed Antigua, which received the WDrst rating, Bar- bados, which had many swinging second story joints and a famed Pottery Detective agency, and Trini- dad, which offered excellent base f acilities and guaranteed a wild time down town. Yet nothing thus far could compare to Barranquille, the wonder- ful Columbian City up the river. The variety gave everyone a chance to enjoy himself and the grand finale to my mind was the highly successful ship ' s dance. It is very seldom that I get a chance to dance, eat, and listen to good music with the safety of a known hiding place, so you can see why all this appealed to me. We, the Chun roaches, broke out our best bib and tuckers along with all our stolen food and had a Helluva time, if you ' ll pardon the expression, up in the old 6 47 mount. You might say we were shooting the works that festive night. It was a nice way to end a good time, but on the trip to Panama many eyes could be seen dreamily looking back over the stern. The famous canal soon was before us and the fond gazes quickly turned to memories of school books de- scribing Goethals leading men through the dense jungle Isthmus. As liberty parties invaded the modern city and observed the canal in action the realization of men dying and toiling became re- mote; in fact the only realistic thing was the tax- free prices. Since this was the case, most of the cruise shopping took place here, but some was done in Panama City via postal order to the regret of the Middle Pescadoes. With the gifts for the home folks out of the way, the trip to Grand Cayman became quite re- laxing. As a matter of fact, the island with its solitude, beautiful beaches, and crystal-clear water seemed to be the perfect place to come before the hub-bub of Houston and the other American ports. Well rested, the homeward-bound clan set out for the Texas Tower town and found dances and other festivities awaiting them. The trip up the river to Houston was observed with anticipation and interest, whereas on the return a few more feel- ings could have easily been injected as a result of the fine time the boastful Texans provided. Mobile and Ft. Lauderdale went by practically unnoticed for Boston was next on the agenda. The Senior Bowl showing of Miss America and the other lovelies impressed some, but the typical attractions such as Joe Palooka ' s seemed to win the honors. In Florida it was the beaches and playboy-like at- mosphere that won out, but the biggest reward was still to come — Boston, with the same old thrills of seeing friends and getting home out of the job suit and away from the routine. But we cannot stop time. On to the second semester classes. With two cruises under their belts, the feeling of being upper jobs was forming in their minds. Sure enough, finals had arrived and the upper jobs gone. Whew! and other such sighs could be heard ushering from the soon-to-be- yelling young man mouths. It was all true, and yet was all the false prestige going to be worth those previous two years? With their second year finals over and the well- earned summer leave ended, the new first class buckled right down and proudly took the reins. This year was going to be more frustrating than probably any other in M. M. A. history, yet this was realized and almost welcomed. At the end of the 2nd class year the results of long talks and propositions finally came to a head in the acquiring of the APA Doyen. This was to be our new home, and the responsibility of getting things organized was laid right in the first class laps. At first no one believed in the validity of those rumors, but when the famed Doyen Dozen were picked to report to New York, the charge was dropped. All eyes then awaited the arrival of the new training ship. It came on a weekend when most of the mid- shipmen were on liberty, so when they returned all eyes skeptically beheld the huge Pink Elephant huddled against the building. Believe me, what 1 you saw on liberty Saturday night was not real, but this lonely phantom of delight, which was to be our home, was the nearest thing to realism you could find. The 2nd class (soon to be first class) tasted the bitterness of its realism by having se- curity watches assigned and after a few months of fiddling with the new toy, off it went to the ship yard. Only a fatalist could have survived under the bombs and changes that followed, but as they look back upon it I ' m sure not one would refuse to do it again. Mr. Harrington gave some very sound advice one day to his Brilliant math class concerning the futility of planning: Since this new ship is going to cause so many irregular changes, I would advise you not to make any plans for the rest of the year. How true this statement turned out to be, for after a confusing leave period a stal- wart group of young men were whisked off to the Staten Island Home for Hopeless Hulks. With the class divided everything just fell apart. Classes were quite ridiculous and the CHUN was becoming disregarded more and more each day. I must admit my roach friends had a ball, but it was like their last fling, for the new ship meant only inevitable extermination to our well intrenched clan. Everyone seemed to be having his troubles except the rejuvenated football team, which was rolling along with a fine record. From what 1 heard from Staten Island things were really having their ups and downs. Oh well, we all just had to grin and bear it. Rumors and hearsay was all the news I received from New York until my long-expected letter ar- rived. A fellow roach Prof., who was crawling around Columbia U. that year, met two of the late ferry riders, just by coincidence yearbook men, down in the Village one night and managed to get the latest news for me. In between the dis- cussions of philosophy, psychology, and art, he finally squeezed out that the select group was eat- ing at a nearby restaurant (a 3 mile walk), work- ing about with their eyes and ears open, and all in all enjoying the Rheingold night life. Through later letters I learned the food was being served on board and the unmentional facilities were fin- ally in operation to everyone ' s convenience and pleasure. Despite the confusion, the Annual Ring Dance, the only one in which quarter of the class came 200 miles to attend, went off in grand style; thus closing another chapter in the first class history. After a few more recruits went to New York, life at the Bay seemed to be monopolized by the 3rd class, but it wasn ' t too much later when the long-awaited toy had been reclaimed. Up she sailed with her bloodless crew, meeting only the obstacle of a grounded ship in the canal. Through the good and bad comments came the cries of young man and it was like music to my ears, for they had been getting away with too much. Thanks to the Yearbook Editor I was given a new, safe home, but unfortunately my other friends had to stay with the CHN. Some tried to get across only to have their ambition and life squelched by an inconsiderate foot. With the Bay State, this being its new name, back things eventually started to take shape. Classes were resumed, at least on paper, and the routine slowly reconstructed itself as the CHN slowly be- came dismembered. The Bay State received excess attention through an absurd multi-man watch bill; nevertheless, everyone was prewarned of the im- pending difficulties and took it with a grin. The doubts of the vessel sailing grew bigger and bigger. After a quick trip to Boston for sta- bility tests and a fiasco of finals with their 20 hour warning, Xmas leave was announced with the hopes of leaving shortly after 1st class fire-fighting school. Good-byes were said and off they went to Newport, a class function I ' m sure they ' ll never (ever never) forget, only to return and find the sailing date postponed. Home again, by again became the January joke until finally we were given a C. G. waiver and departed for the sunny Caribbean. The trip down will never be forgotten, for the memories of that continual sideward sway or the 37 breakdowns will come out automatically in the inevitable telling of your life as a Middle. Yes, it was rather hectic that first week out, but the Sup- erintendent ' s remark on how restive the trip was spurred us on, despite the mechanical difficulties. Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink almost became our cry, but fortunately we turned our backs on St. Thomas and went into San Juan, Puerto Rico, for a fresh supply of water. This ended in a three week stay for repairs and Trinidad was missed. The familiar streets and buildings were fre- quented by the first class again and like the last time here, high prices were the big obstacle. Finally after sampling all the docking facilities, we were off for a short stay in Ciudad, Trujillo. This proved to be a reunion place, for some grads were seen and the Gookness reminded the boys of past island sorties. Gifts of mahogany and large straw sombreros were the attraction and as we left with all safely stowed, many be- lieved this to be the last cheap, unamerican port. This proved to be true as a result of no liberty in (Un) Progresso, Mexico. Someone goofed when this port was chosen but I, a little learned roach who can only read charts and see the obvious im- pending complications, cannot very well argue with that mysterious person who so often decides our fate. Well, despite this situation, a grand ball was had in the port following Ciudad, Trujillo. Where else could it be but New Orleans with its French quarter. Bourbon and Canal streets, Mississippi River, and most of all the Mardi Gras. This is one time where the Academy arrived or did something on time. Fun was had in all forms and nothing can be said to adequately describe the occasion. I can only mention it and hope your memories bring forth the incidents which made it a ball for you. Typical of the Academy, we went from fun to folly on our arrival at Progresso from New Or- leans, but seeing this visit or fubar has already been described, I shall not bore you. We arrived in the historic harbor of Habana, and after an 86 bell attempt to tie up, the bird watchers decided to anchor out. The Cuban of- ficials soon found to their dismay the many revo- lutions to get in were not half as bad as the ones caused by the Middies in town; in fact the local Rebels almost took a back seat. The trip from the Manhattan of the Caribbean was spent talking over the wild Cuban adventures, but on our arrival in Corpus Christi, the reminiscing was quickly washed out by the typical Texas hos- pitality. Speaking of being washed out, I hap- pened to be the first one ashore as the result of my own stupidity or I should say unsaltiness. While coming up the river that morning I took the liberty to sack out on a line with a lead at- tached to the end — obviously so it wouldn ' t blow off into the water. Well, what happened next is hard to describe, for between the confusion of the ship maneuvering and the shock of my body being hurled toward the dock, I still wonder whether it was a nightmare or not. All I can say is I hung on for dear life, and finally after being dropped into the water three times the line made the hands of some swabbies. Thanks to the inspiring sight of a welcoming band and ten twirling beauties my wrath was quickly squelched. The people literally opened the town up for the boys and a dance sponsored by the Navy Mothers iced the cake so to speak. On the way to Tampa the savory sweets could still be tasted and I have a sneaking suspicion many fond mem- ories are still Deep in the Heart of Texas. The taking of bearings, and I don ' t mean by the deckles, resulted in Tampa shipyard deals; Nassau had to be eliminated but the nice warm Florida sun — seen only on the tourist bulletins — made up for it. After spending several days dodging the Bombs of where we were headed next the word finally was smuggled out from behind the Wardroom Curtain and we staggered seaward for Jacksonville. After a short stop in Jax, the memories of it lost in the thoughts of Boston, we opened up the throttles — I mean throttle — and h eaded north. The distance closed fast except for a few days when the sea seemed to be making more speed in the opposite direction. With time to spare we pulled into the Tea Party Town, and be- fore the condensor had time to cool down the Middies were off to their homes and Sunday din- ner on a plate for a change. After a short stay in Boston answering many embarrassing questions concerning tans or in my case a bleached shell, the Buzzard ' s Bay Battalion returned to resume operation normal. It was nice to be back but the Chun with all my roach friends aboard had been hauled off to a Baltimore junkyard and the old finger pier was now being eaten away by a hungry crew of construction workers. As the weeks rolled by license questions churn- ed through the first job minds (an occasional break for filling out forms, taking physicals, life boat tests or other requirements help to make them realize this was the homestretch). It seems all I heard nights was the chatter pertaining to navy duty. What did you put in for Auxiliaries or Destroyers? I can see it now — new car, new deals to pull, especially with all this advanced training. How many more Sunday nights to come back? On and on the pipe dreams raged but at least they were not yelled across the com- partment like I recall on the Charleston . . . The following closing section was unfortunately not written by Professor Blatta Orientales for due to an unforseen accident my roach friend met his death. The tragedy occurred on one of those rest- less weekends when the boys had nothing to do. Some energetic group of tractor enthusiasts de- cided to break the dull Saturday afternoon at- mosphere by test driving Junior ' s tempting toy. The professor who often spent his time sunning on the warm bumper never had a chance when the Fangio like foursome lost control. I did manage to hear the last words of my bumperized friend and the following is a copy of his oral closing for the history: Injustice has been done for the fates have not granted me the time to see the 58-ers graduate but I hope that my little project will bring back both memories and inspiration for the years ahead. They have faced many obstacles and won. License exams and other barriers will rear up continually in your march for success and may this little pas- sage help you all to knock them down — and I do not mean with a tractor: It matters not how straight the gate. How charged with punishment the scroll. I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul Doing things different seemed to be traditional for the Class of 1958, even when it came to the annual ring dance. Since the Bay State was in a Staten Island shipyard with one-quarter of the class on board many complications evolved concerning the dance; yet despite all obstacles, such as 200 miles of commuting distance, the biggest social event of the Midshipmen ' s lives went off in grand fashion. T H E M U 5 T E R Muster StaflF It is always the work of a few that keeps the ball moving and this was the case, as always, con- cerning the various class activities. Thanks to the work of our committee members the class oper- ated smoothly, received their rings, had their dances, and all in all left a fine record. Let ' s hope the work they have done sets a prece- dent for other class leaders to follow. 5CHO LEA Class Officers Ring and Ring Dance Committee OL DER5 BEAT MAINE THE MARINERS v.-; ,. M. M. A.

Each one had an equal and important part to play in the successful completion of this book, and I as Editor, express my sincere appreciation. A yearbook takes a great deal of time and effort, and the fiUing in of pages between the covers is an undertaking the scope of which one never realizes until he attempts it. We have found out and are a bit tired, but the copy, layouts, pictures, finances, and other editorial headaches are quickly forgotten when we think of all the considerate help received from Mr. Clark and the following Patrons and Advertisers: Thank you again, Editor of Muster SINCE 1903 NOVAROFF BROS.

True Tracking Radar presents a comet-like tail only on moving objects. Stationary objects have no afterglow tail. Two minutes later the radarscope shows relative posi- tions of same moving objects. Navigator can quickly see and estimate true speeds and courses of all nearby vessels. L. ± _l Radar Motion Pictures New True Tracking and Off -Center Positioning easily adapted to Sperry Marl 3 Marine Radar Ofl-Center Positioning Control, an integral part of True Tracking, lets the observer increase his search area while main- taining high resolution and definition on the short range. Presen- tation (left) shows no traffic land masses with ship traffic at edge of scope. By off-centering his ship electronically (right) operator retains his check points and also brings into view ships formerly out of range. Sperry ' s new True Tracking Radar offers instant differentia- tion between stationary and moving objects. Presenting a panoramic motion picture of everything in range, it enables the trained observer to quickly estimate the direction and speed of nearby vessels. With True Tracking, all moving vessels— including the op- erator ' s own— appear as moving blips with small, comet-like tails. Fixed objects such as land, docks and buoys show no afterglow tail. Another new development, Off-Center Positioning, en- ables the navigator to move his ship to any point on the scope without changing the range scale. It permits him to observe new areas and approaching vessels while retaining important land check points. Off-Center Positioning is incorporated in True Tracking Radar. True Tracking and Off-Center Positioning, both modifica- tions of the Sperry Mark 3 Radar, can be easily installed at the factory or aboard ship.

B W Boilers Power MSTS ' First Roll-On Roll-Off Vehicle Ship Designed to transport one sixth of the vehicles at- tached to an armored division, the USNS Comet sailed on her maiden voyage early this year carrying 378 vehicles from Philadelphia to France. The pro- totype of its class, the Comet is equipped -with 4 hydraulically operated side ramps vi hich may be lowered to dock level to permit the loading of vehicles under their own power. Loading time for the new MSTS ship on its initial voyage was only ten hours, considerably less than would have been consumed if the ship had been loaded by conven- tional means. In addition to the side ramps, the Comet is equipped with a stern ramp that is much like the familiar bow of a landing craft and is also used for self-powered loading. Once aboard, vehicles are driven to their assigned places via spiral interior The Babcock Wilcox Company, whose boilers supply power to the new Comet , U.S.S. Saratoga, the U.S.S. Forrestal, and so many thousands of other American ships, is continuing to work in the tradition of engineering ex- cellence which has made the U. S. A. the world ' s leader in the design and construction of merchant nd naval vessels. ramps. When adequate dockside facilities are not available, the ship can be loaded and unloaded through either side or stern ports onto barges. Be- sides fast loading time, and shorter turnabout time between ports inherent in the new method, other cost-saving advantages include elimination of the need for dockside and floating cranes as well as the ability to lift cargo in trailer trucks without break- ing bulk. • m.
