iilaritime caben THE GRADUATING CLASS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS MARITIME ACADEMY PROUDLY PRESENT THE MUSTER 1961 PATRICK J. SHIELDS Editor JOHN E. KING Associate Editor ANTHONY J. LAPRESTE, JR. Advertising Manager CHESTER R. HARTSHORN Business Manager HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY The Massachusetts Maritime Academy was founded in 1893 with a two year course to train young men for the Merchant Marine. The Academy was given the sailing vessel Enterprise for a training ship and during the next fifteen years, sailed in waters around the globe, training young men year after year in one of man ' s oldest professions, that of the seafarer. In 1909, the U.S. Navy gave the frigate, ' ' Ranger to the Academy, which was renamed the Nantucket . This ship car- ried American good will throughout the world for over three decades with its crews of young men. During World War Two, the Nantucket was sent to the United States Maritime Academy at Kings Point, New York, to live as a monument to the days of sailing ships. In 1942, the Academy came ashore and settled in Hyannis. Training cruises were made in Maritime Commission ships running up and down the coast. After the war, the academic curriculum was lengthened to three years, and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Navigation or Engineering was awarded the graduates together with the Naval Reserve Commission and Coast Guard License. In 1948, the Academy received the gunboat Charleston and since facili- ties for the ship were not available in Hyannis, the Academy was moved to her present home at the State Pier, Buzzards Bay, Mass. In 1957, the Academy received its present training ship, the former APA Doyen which was renamed the Bay State . This ship has served well as a training ship and will continue to do so for many more years. In 1960, plans for enlarging the Academy were finally ap- proved and by October, the Naval Science Building was com- pleted. In March of 1961, the Central Power Plant was built and ready for operation. Remodeling of the present classroom building is now under way and will be completed this year. Further plans call for an Engineering Building, recreational facilities, and eventually dormitories. We, the class of 1961, hope that these plans and changes will be carried out, thus making a better Academy to train future Merchant Marine Officers. 2 EDITORIAL Our three years here at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy are almost completed. Our final goal is in sight. Soon, we will receive our Third Mates or Third Assistant Engineers License, a Bachelor of Science Degree, and for most of us, a Naval Re- serve Commission. Many of our class will go to sea, others will get land jobs, but none of us will ever forget the good times, the fellowship, and the bad times that we have had as a class. Many changes have taken place in our stay at the Academy — new in- structors, a bigger emphasis on the academic curriculum, new activities and clubs, and the beginning of a building program- show that the Academy is growing in every phase of its opei- ation. However, numerous other things must be done to keep pace with changing times. We, as a class, have been separated since the beginning of our second class year, not only by our varied professional courses, but by being berthed in different compartments aboard ship. This has had a tremendous effect on our unity as a class and we have slowly drawn apart, becoming two distinct, separate elements. Thus, we have decided to dedicate the 1961 MUSTER to two instructors, one an Engineering Officer and ons a Deck Officer, who we feel have contributed the most to us, during our three years here at M.M.A. These two men are Commander Hemmeriy and Lieutenant Commander Page. However, we would also like to express our appreciation to all of the officers and instructors, as they have given unselfishly and generously of their time and talents, imparting to us their knowledge and experience. I, as editor, would like to express my thanks and appreciation to all of those who have helped to produce this yearbook. Special thanks go to our advisor, Lt. Dorsey, without whose assistance the yearbook would never have been published; to Mel Howard and Bob Vantine, our photographer and publisher, respectively; and to my four immediate subordinates, John King, Assistant Editor; Anthony LaPreste, Advertising Manager; Chester Hart- shorn, Business Manager; and John Frodyma, Photography Editor. A yearbook takes a great deal of time and effort, and the filling in of pages between the covers is an undertaking the scope of which few people realize. In the following pages of the MUSTER, we have tried to review our three years here at the Academy. We hope that we have been successful and that the 1961 MUSTER will bring many hours of enjoyment to its readers. Patrick J. Shields Editor, The MUSTER 4 COMMANDER WILLIAM HEMMERLY, USNR ENGINEERING DEDICATION Mr. Hemmerly, a member of the Mass. Maritime Alumni as well as the faculty, has also distinguished himself in action during World War II. However, We, the engineer- ing graduates of the academy, feel that his greatest con- tribution has been on our behalf ; as our electrical in- structor, electrical division officer, and head of the morale department, Mr. Hemmerly has helped to provide a sub- stantial foundation for our future. We sincerely hope you will continue your work at the Maritime Academy and that the dedication of this year- book will help to show, in part, our gratitude to a fine individual. DECK DEPARTMENT DEDICATION At this time, we, the deck midshipmen of the first class, wish to express our deepest appreciation for all you have done in our behalf during our three years here at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. As an instructor and our class advisor you have instilled in us knowledge that we shall retain for the rest of our lives. Your cheerfulness and fairness in the performance of your duties only magnify our respect and admiration. As we depart from M.M.A., we again say, thank you as we enter our chosen vocation. 8 THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT STATE HOUSE, BOSTON JOHN A.VOLPE GOVERNOR TO THE 1961 GRADUATING CLASS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS iViARITII E ACADEMY: It is a pleasure for me, as Governor, to extend the congratulations of the Commonwealth, and my personal greetings, to the graduating class of the Maritime Academy. As you stand on the threshold of your chosen careers, you have behind you many lessons in practice and theory which have prepared you for your future . These lessons at the Academy have also prepared you, perhaps without your realization, to meet the numer- ous situations and problems of your lives which will require integrity, perseverance, courage, and under- standing . Such qualities are taught by example as well as by precept. It is my hope that you, in turn, will be able to teach by the good example you set in your future course through life.

THOMPSON, USMS 15 COMMANDING OFFICER Captain Richard T. Rounds, USNR Captain Rounds graduated from the Nautical School in 1926 to sail aboard Standard Oil Company tankers, and several months later commenced a three-year stay with the United Fruit Company. Early in 1930, he returned to the schoolship, this time as an instructor. When the Navy took over the school in 1942, most of the officers were shifted to active duty. Such was the case with Captain Rounds, when he was made Executive Officer of an AKA and then an APA in the Pacific. Command of an APA followed, a post he held until his release from active duty and his return to the Academy in 1946. Not only does Captain Rounds have his Master ' s license for steam and diesel powered ships, but he is also one of the few men presently holding a master ' s license from the Coast Guard for square rigged sailing vessels. 16 CHIEF ENGINEER JAMES M. MURRAY, CAPT., U.S.N.R. Chief Engineer Instructor of Thermo Dynamics, Steam Engines, and Atomic Power Capt. Murray, a graduate of the Maritime Academy in the class of 1935, has since acquired his Chief Engi- neer ' s License in the Merchant Marine and has sailed on active duty as a Naval Officer during World War II, recently becoming a Captain, U.S.N.R. As an instructor, Capt. Murray has managed, with much perseverance, to prepare the engineers for their Coast Guard License examinations upon graduation. We feel sure that no graduate of M. M. A. will ever leave the Jacking Gear engaged when getting under way. Above all, as head of the Engineering Department, Capt. Murray has a keen interest in each of his students and stands strongly behind all of his graduates. 17 COMMAND Captain Louis A.

LYNCH 6 Merrymount Avenue Wollaston, Mass. Ask Lynch, Lxjnch Knows Tortuga Battalion Commander Basketball 1,2,3, Ring Committee Master of Ceremonies at Ring Dance Watch Two Old Guard Shellback Desiring to change from the blue waters of gentle Quincy Bay, Larry headed South, instinct led him to Buzzards Bay and the Maritime Academy, where in 3 short years he was destined to evolve as Battalion Commander. Undaunted by the complexities of the engine room, Turtle ' s fate was already de- cided. Leading the way into our first class year, it was no surprise to see Larry emerge on top. No slouch in studies, Larry gained most of his knowledge through his sub-conscious while inclined horizontally. With his abilities, Larry is sure to make a success of his career. Best of Luck, Larry. 30 JOHN CORNELIUS KRADOLFER Smith Street Dover, Massachusetts Dutch Battalion Adjutant Class President MUSTER Staff Ring Committee Ring Dance Committee Swimming Team Propeller Club Shellback We became aware that there was a vogel among us when the clacking of wooden shoes was heard throughout the ship. Since then Dutch has become a common sight, circulating through the ship spreading ad- vice and benevolence to the third class. Woe be to the person who talks disparagingly to the youngies about their Uncle Dutch. The Vogel ' s tact and jack o ' lantern smile has earned him the admiration of all of us and no one was surprised when he was awarded the big three. A staunch critic of the American culture, Dutch will argue against anything that is conventional. This poor frustrated beatnik is fated to be married shortly but we doubt that a ball and chain, even a lovely one like Eileen, will hamper his inevitable success. 31 WATCH I ENGINEERlN i Williajn. D.

My business, Sir, is OIL. Mungbat Cadet Lieutenant Watch 1 Old Guard Basketball Mgr. Bowling League Ring Dance Committee Shellback Has anyone seen a starched boiler suit go by? From the first day on board the Bay State the Bat was a confirmed engineer, during his Youngie year Arnie, Otto, and Sap (how ' s that for a mouthful), increased Bat ' s desire to join the Black Gang. Armed with a subscription of Marine Engineering Log and a handbook from Worthington Pumps, Dale quickly engulfed the U. S. T. S. Bay State in a pool of fuel oil, (Navy Special). Noted for his ability to get in and out of coveralls and boilers. Bat soon became SENIOR ENGINEER of B division. After graduation we hope that Bat ' s drive and ambition will carry him to the top of the ladder. 1 34 JAMES E. ROBINSON 139 Burgess Avenue Westwood, Mass. A man of experience is a man of wealth Robby Cadet Ensign Watch 1 Old Guard (4) Bowling League Intramural Sports Propeller Club Shellback Due to a slight miscalculation, causing G to go above M , Bobby ' s launching was delayed one year, pending certain modi- fications. Making the most of this oppor- tunity, Robby added considerably to his knowledge of engineering, as well as Ship ' s Const. His eagerness to lend a hand in the fire- room was rewarded with the return of his rating as number two boilerman, Robby could always be counted on to do the Wright thing. With his boundless engi- neering skill Robby will be a success in the Merchies or the Navy. 35 As Ambassador of R. A. F. Yehoudi could often be found expostulating on the virtues of the air over sea. During his Youngie year, Yehoudi ' s natural ability as a leader among men enabled him to cope with his duties as section leader and to rise even further on the ladder of success to become Pres. of the Horizontal Club during his last year. His ability of being able to iron out most any situation made Yehoudi a natural for head of the laundry. Whether it be Pensacola or Sealy Postur- pedic, we know Yehoudi will end up in the top rack. 36 ROBERT HARRISON CROSBY 8 State Street Peabody, Mass. Where there ' s life, there ' s Bob ' Bing Baseball 1,2,3 Bowling League Football 1,2,3, Golf 2 MUSTER Staff Horizontal Club Shellback Being chosen by the BuMaLu to repre- sent the North Shore, Bing embarked on a three year vacation at Taylor ' s Point Tech. Personally friendly with the Captain, Bing could usually be found visiting him on Wednesday Afternoons at 12:45. During his second class year Bob ac- quired the habit of studying Steam Engines through osmosis, much to the dismay of a certain Chief Engineer. As a member of the baseball and football teams Bing could always be counted on to come through in the clutch. A staunch believer in the system, and an ardent advocator of higher education let ' s hope that M.I.T. profits with our loss. 37 Horizontal Club Propeller Club Shellback The Sultan of Salem, armed with sweat shirts and artificial flowers arrived to set up shop, but soon found, as a youngie, that deals were few and far between. He did manage one unusual deal, Henry Saint ' s $5.00 pair of shoes. As the year progressed the green camel taxi service soon monopolized the Trade- Route between B. B. and Salem, with fre- quent stops at the Pines. His second class year Gerry switched from taxis to turbines and went on to prove his ability as an engineer. Whether wholesale or retail, Diesel or Steam, we feel confident that Gerry will succeed in his chosen field. 38 Worcester ' s claim to fame arrived at M. M.A. trailing an air of delight. Within a short while Mark became proprietor of the Nocturnal Shoe Shine Parlor Inc., much to Mora ' s delight. Stids was appointed as chief of the Ace Detective Bureau, spe- cializing in recovering Saintly objects. As a second job, Mark led a more seden- tary life, a cup of java and a good smoke was typical. While firing the boiler ar- dently, like any good second classman, Mark met with an unusual mishap, thus delaying the cruise for a few weeks. Things have worked out a little better this year for Mark and he has our wishes for fair winds in his future. 39 FIRST divisiohdeigk:. Johii- J. P. Crocker, Cadet Lieutenant Thoftias.P.

MUSTER Staff Honor Guard Propeller Club Shellback Color Guard i John, an old hand of the sea, via Tabor Academy and college, came to M.M.A. a little after the first crop of youngies, but he soon became known for his ability in seamanship and navigation. For his efforts John was awarded Two Stripes in First Division. In addition to his nautical ability he also had a great liking for Fire Stations, and as such, retired as a Cadet Lieutenant in order to devote more time as a fireman. Notwithstanding this, however, we feel that John will do well in his chosen profes- sion, whether it be as a Mate or a Fireman. 42 THOMAS SHEEHAN 38 Bemis Street Newtonville, Massachusetts Ensign Cadet Ensign Golf Team 1,2,3 Propeller Club Shellback Intramural Horseshoes When the Ensign appeared with a golf stick in one hanjJ and a copy of rules and regs in the other, the underclassmen knew that there were bad times ahead. Many of his admirers could be seen standing outside of ships office at 1245 singing his praises. A bitter classmate would be hard to find, though, and Tom ' s good nature has won many friends. It wasn ' t surprising to see that after he was awarded his stripes, Navy Division grabbed him. They realized that gung ho Navy men are hard to find. We ' re sure that Adm. Sheehan will be a household word in years to come. 43 Several years ago, a young man of de- cided promise passed through the hallowed ivy portals of MMA with the stride of a matador and the look of an eagle in his eye. Perhaps this gladiator ' s righteous indig- nation and spontaneous verbal revolts, di- rected at the vagrant were not too well reflected in his navigation marks ; but such actions endeared him to his classmates all the more. Regardless of his one man crusades, Wal- ter has scaled the greatest of obstacles and his classmates can always fish a few laughs out of him. The very best to Flara in all his endeavors. 44 Nobby is the owner of one of those fortu- nate personalities that enables him to get along with anyone. We were surprised at his ruthless attack on an innocent young bogger but his heinous crime was soon for- gotten and his classmates still fail to be- lieve that he is the sadistic fiend that city hall thinks him to be. When Fred isn ' t on the messdeck he ' s squatting over a hot plate somewhere cook- ing his own food, trying to convince Butch that he eats like a bird and weighs even less. A conscientious and capable worker, Fred is marked for success. 45 DOUGLAS MICHAEL O ' LEARY 15 Cedar Street Marblehead, Massachusetts Come now, sing; I know you sing well; I see you have a singing face. Doug Cadet Ensign Band 1,2,3, Orchestra 1,2,3 Glee Club 1,2,3 Cross Country 2 Track 2 Propeller Club Shellback Doug, one of the North Shore boys, (spe- cifically, Marblehead), entered his life down at the Bay quite prepared for what was ahead, being the brother of an older grad. Thus informed, some of the change was more adaptable to him than for others. Through his time at M.M.A. Doug began the climb up in the ranks, first as a non-rate, then onward to become Bandmaster of the M.M.A. Marching Band , then during the first class cruise to become the Acting Leader of First Division. With this rapid show of advancement of Doug, it is felt he will be very well suited to meet quite a few situations, (maybe a Band Leader, who knows?). 46 GEORGE PINA, JR.

King Neptune ' s Court Shellback I ' m George Pina from Taunton, and I ' m going to change this place, were the first words uttered by George upon his arrival, his first project being the removal of all tin can s from the academy. Much to George ' s surprise one of these cans was filled with fuel oil by one of his Arvid followers. By nosing his way through B division, George ' s engineering prowess was noticed and rewarded, much to his surprise ( ?) as he became leader of Mario ' s workers. But now with the end near at hand, here ' s hop- ing you ' ll follow some of your own advice, George, and When in Chile, do as the Chileans do.

Big things come in little packages Stump Cadet Ensign Bowling League Baseball 2,3 Golf 1,2,3 MUSTER Staff Ring Dance Committee Shellback What ' s that sea bag donig walking across the gangway? You might know, it ' s Dor- chester ' s answer to Tom Thumb, returnig from liberty. As a youngie Stump wanted to be an Engineer from the word go. One of his favorite pastimes was delving into the mys- teries of steam with his pal, Herby Ellis. Brownie ' s zeal for engineering continued and he could be found scrutinizing engineering texts during the wee small hours. His efforts did not go unnoticed, this year he became Watch II ' s Cadet Ensign, and we think this, with enough of a certain little lady ' s cooking, should make big things in Ken ' s future. 51 ROBERT EDWARD BOLCOME, JR. 31 Perkins Street Gloucester, Mass.

Honor Guard Bowling League Propeller Club Ring Dance Committee Shellback With a back log of Esprit De Corps and many exciting moments in the ring, Glou- cester ' s gift to women embarked on a Mari- time sojourn. As a youngie Bob ' s by-word was cozy, spelled with a capitol C, he was hardly seen by any of us. During his second class year things were much different, all one had to do was to check either Mr. Pratt ' s shop or the Diesel Generator room to find Bob ' s whereabouts. At the commencement of his first class year Bob had a run in with the L.A.W. while sipping a cup of water, however this did not dampen Bob ' s spirits and after a few months he was back in circulation. Regardless of what the future holds we are sure that Bob Will make out. f 52 PETER E. McGEE 15 Milton Road Danvers, Mass. Pete Baseball 1,2,3 (Capt.)

T. McGee. He would have ranked with Snead as a golfer had his stomach not hindered him. Pete ' s abilities did not go unnoticed as he received the dubious honor of presiding as one of the Knight ' s of King Neptune ' s Court. As his days at the Maritime Acad, draw to a close we wish Pete the best of everything. 53 JOHN J. SPERO 12 Bear Hill Road Stoneham, Mass.

Being small in stature but big in heart soon made Jack the No. 1 for a long time, well over a year. Jack ' s ability to handle big affairs was rapidly noticed as he traveled along the Rhodes to graduation. Now, as we near the end, let ' s hope that Jack ' s quick wit and cheerful smile, along with all his other fine traits will give him the success he deserves. 54 sccoccoc LAWRENCE JAMES WARD 11 Oakley Street Dorchester, Mass.

Larry came to us via Howard Johnson ' s and Nova- koff Bros., his quick wit and his being one of the best dressed members of the class soon endeared him to us. He reached the peak of his career upon joining the Alpine Club, and scampered on to become a mem- ber of the Century Club, through no fault of his own, of course. Foxy ' s desert boots and strawberry-blond hair made such a hit with certain South American beauties that he has been receiv- ing Dear Fox letters since the cruise. Now, with pay dirt within clawing distance we know that Lonnie will speedily emerge at the front of the pack in his chosen field. 55 SECOND DIVISION DECK Patrick J. Shields, Cadet Lieutenant. .

M.A. on the fateful day of July 29th and started out on his career as a Mariner. Very quiet as a youngie not much was heard from him. But as he moved up in classes and standing, we soon realized that this boy was to be reckoned with. In the advent of his first class year, Pat found himself with only two stripes and charge of Second Division. Along with his and Allen ' s help, Second soon shaped up during the cruise. Of course Pat did have other sides too, as Editor of THE MUSTER. During this time, Pat seemingly spent many a wakeful night with his eyes open keeping watch over us. Then again there is his familiar laugh to remind us of his good humor. With these assets, Pat should go far in the Merchant Marine.

No, that ' s not a windmill; it ' s only Sugar Cain puffing and ' bowing his way through a crowd. Don ' t be afraid. Actually he is a well liked, even-tempered fellow. An accent? Yes, you ' re right, he does have a strange way of pronouncing certain words; we have never quite put our finger on their derivation. Booga ' s outstanding personality and dry humor have won him the friendship of all who come in contact with him. His hard work and superior scholarship resulted in a stripe in Second Division. No matter where life ' s road will lead you, Bob, we are sure success will always be your shipmate. Smooth sailing. 59 WILLIAM EDWARD ATKINS 21 Garfield Avenue Saugus, Massachusetts ' A man to challenge the powers of Neptune. Bill Track 1,2,3 Cross Country 1,2,3 Propeller Club Rifle Team (Vice President) Shellback From the quarterdeck of the Bay State, a small crowd of middies stood watching a lone figure come plodding across the vast wastes of their campus on the morning of 29 July, 1958. As the stranger approached his buckskins, powder horn, and long rifle became plainly visible. From the bottom of the gangway came a, Howdy, as reckon you bin expecting me. Mah name is Bill Atkins — mah friends call me the ' Deerslayer. ' His hunting and fishing gear became rusty as Bill diligently applied himself to learning the ways of seamen. His subscrip- tion to Field and Stream was forgotten as the sea gained another son. To you, Bill, we wish many years of happy sailing. 60 Football Manager 1,2 Propeller Club  Debating Club ♦ Shellback Into our class zipped the roller derby champ of P-Town, Boats Campbell. Tom could always be found skatin ' from one salty job to another. As industrious as he was, he even missed a little liberty in Balboa to slush down the rigging. Without his aid, many a job would have gone undone. In the classroom, Tom ' s common sense helped him a great deal in ship ' s construc- tion and many other subjects. With your know-how . Tom, you ' ll go a long way. 61 On July 29, 1958, a middie noticed a rick- shaw parked between the quonset huts and upon further inspection discovered a sleep- ing Oriental within. He awakened the occu- pant and asked what he was doing- there. Wantee go school — be sailah ! was the re- ply and Rhee is still with us .... still sleep- ing too. Dave ' s easy going manner and bland per- sonality has endeared him to all of us. Cer- tain Panama Canal pilots won ' t agree but we think we could find no better shipmate. Quick with a smile or a Ba-ba-bung , Dave has earned many friends and deserves the best of luck in his career.

John Newman Club MUSTER Staff Propeller Club Shellback Football 1,2 The most frightening sight we beheld upon our arrival at M.M.A. was that of a huge grizzly stalking about the ship. It sel- dom growled but frequently burst into song. We found out that this was Johnny from Beffa and that he was one of the best satired bears in the world. His wide grin is a familiar sight and many are the vanities he has flattered by his You ' re looking good; Johnny has more than his share of salts and less than his share of worries. We ' re sure that his career will be a long and happy one. 63 DONALD STEVEN FERNALD 16 Eldridge Court Hingham, Mass. ' Bid me discourse, I ' ll enchant thy ear. Don MUSTER Staff Horizontal Club Propeller Club Shellback Soon after our arrival at the Bay, Don ' s remarkable talent for the spoken word made him the center of our debating society. Many a gathering was brightened by the Femald Fantasies as his imaginative meanderings transported his eager listeners to worlds of wonder and excitement. Hingham ' s Hom- er was at his best when his dagger dialogue shedded its disguise of flowers and lashed out at the inhabitants of officers ' country. He has one eccentricity, every now and then he will gaze at a photograph of a beau- tiful young lady whose forehead was sten- cilled My Mary. His good humor, sharp intelligence, and plain common sense have marked him for a prosperous future. f 64 W KUW II EN GIN E E RING Alfred L.

A leader in marks and a leader across the quarterdeck, Lennie still had time for bas- ketball. The team of Clem and Len is remembered by anyone who wished to sleep eight hours a night. As a reward for his aptitude in electronics, Zipper became Cadet Lieutenant and chief re-bulber in Electrical Division. During his stay within these sacred bulk- heads , Lennie has become quite adept with certain games of chance, and we know that whatever fate holds in store for him Lennie can, with a spin of the wheel or a roll of the dice, always come up with a winner. 68 DONALD ALLEN WHITNEY 14 Manatee Road E.

Remember the Sheraton Plaza was the cry frequently heard from the first class- men after the 60 Ring Dance; only through Don ' s endless efforts did we acquire the Sheraton Plaza ballroom (and Bar) located only five minutes from Storyville, an outstanding feature, according to Don.

I y ■ 99 One summer morning, the 29th of July, 1958, some 80 young men abruptly ended their summer vacations and were now about to embark on a new adventure in the field of higher learning. This adventure con- sisted of the Massachusetts Maritime Acad- emy and its present inhabitants. The long days of waiting, working, and worrying had finally come to an end. This was it — Entrance day. Needless to say, the thoughts that coursed through our minds those few final days and hours were varied. Who could imagine what it would really be like? The answer came soon enough, much to our despair. In a few short hours we were in- volved in the most thorough, but unusual indoctrination of our lives. Who can forget those first weeks of Academy life, with its ups, its downs, its humorous moments, and its sad moments; all of these mixed to- gether with a touch of homesickness and in some cases, an even greater amount of loneliness. As the weeks flew by, which is a peculi- arity common to our school, we soon real- ized that one gets out of the Academy what he puts into it and with that in mind, we got down to business in spite of things. With the first class, studies, turn-tos, and mess-cooking, we found that there was not much time to devote to idleness. When we were able to relax for any amount of time, the third class heads (our youngie year recreation deck) and the fan tail be- came a haven for the class to go to and get away from it all. With liberty time seeming to be so little in comparison with everything else, we were all very much pleased when it was found that we had an eleven day leave period coming up. As the first and second 102 class did not get the leave period as we did, we were sneered, jeered, and leered rather viciously the week before leaving, and many of the class found that it was not too cozy to brag about the whole thing. Well, we all went home for a much needed rest, and since summer was not quite over, we all had a chance to join in on the last happy days of the season with the other people as we now call them. Then, after Labor Day, we came back to the land of bunks, bugs, and boggers. To many of us, it too k a lot of doing to come back that day, but we came through and were back in the crazy swing of things by the next morning. A few of our class took interest in ath- letics and we soon found that our class had more than its share of fine athletes. Base- ball and football teams alike were well represented by the slicksters of 61 . Next in the line of events on the Acad- emy calendar came the Ring Dance, our answer to a Senior Prom, only eight months earlier. We all learned our masters first names as they wanted to show what fine cadets they were to their feminine escorts. We didn ' t agree, but in general, they were a pretty good gro p (we didn ' t think so at the time). The dance went off very well, and with that over with, the next thing we had to look forward to was mid-term exams. In this respect we did fairly well. Our class had dwindled since we first arrived, but fortunately not because of scholastic defi- ciencies — that was to come later. The month of November came and with it the Cape Cod winter. Those morning check musters on the dock were too much for words — such cold the world has never known. Soon we drew duty for the next holiday, which of course was Thanksgiving, all ex- cept the Watch Two Dealers went home to celebrate. Gradually as Christmas drew near, wild bombs started falling every- where, releasing tales of drydock period. We, the third class, wanted Boston, but with the excitement caused by thoughts of the coming Christmas leave, we didn ' t give dry dock much consideration. Instead, we waited anxiously for those last few weeks to drag by so that we- could once again go home and enjoy a little bit of civilian life. 103 The day finally arrived, and home we went. In spite of the time off, however, we were concerned with the fact that finals were to be the week after we returned. But, at any rate, we did enjoy our leave and upon re- turning after New Year ' s, waded into our final exams. With these over, the drydock period was next on the agenda and when we found that Boston took the bid, our cheers were heard for miles. So, off we sailed that January morn on the Bay State. At last we were at sea — this ,was the life — we were now salts — six full hours at sea! What stories to tell the folks at home. Dry dock deals were pulled by all and we had liberty every night. Three cheers for the Palace, our sanctuary for more than a week and a half — oh, we did go home, but only after having paid our respects in a right and proper manner. Being in Boston and relatively close to home was very good, but as the shipyard period wore on, we were drawn away from thoughts of home and loved ones by some strange mysterious force. It was the event we were waiting for — the cruise! Then, on a cold, dreary, drizzly day, the Bay State cast her lines, steamed out of the harbor, gave a hearty goodbye on her whistle, and set course for our first port, Panama. 104 Tales of seasickness echoed through the passageways and compartments of the Bay State that first night at sea, borne mostly by the upperclassmen in hopes of creating a little humor here and there. The 61ers showed their stuff and except for a slight minority, proved to be as salty as any before the Master could be. We might add that fairly calm seas helped us im- mensely — but keep that quiet in future war stories. Two days out we were in T-Shirts. With that a new word took its place in our vocabulary — Bennies. The quest for those priceless bennies went on wildly at first, as many sunburned novices could tell you. Getting them was one thing; keeping them was another, which leads our story into the engine room and messdeck. The words level, readings, bilges, condenser, valve, mess- cook, deckplates, and many others became constant nightmares. What horrors these words held. Seven days later and we sailed into the East Entrance of the Panama Canal. To us it was as exciting an experience as we could imagine. We made the transit through the canal and tied up at Rodman, on the west side. As we made our way through the base, some of us had definite plans, others just were just looking. After sucking down a few tonics , the boys invaded Panama in a way similar to the Marines at Iwo Jima. Taxi cab stocks doubled overnight as the boys took advantage of the hospitality shown by the natives and Panama Hilton Hotel. The night life of the Canal Zone was a new and exciting experience. The na- tives ' tastes for entertainment became our tastes as we adapted ourselves to Panama like a fish takes to water. By the end of our careers at the Academy we were prac- tically natives ourselves. 105 With Panama now only a memory the Bay State entered the Blue Pacific and steamed North to Acapulco. We were sur- prised to find that due to President Eisen- hower being there, all traffic had been re- routed, whether for his safety, or to avoid diplomatic conflict. As such, the Bay State continued on up the coast to Long Beach, California. Long Beach in itself did not have much in the way of attractions, but with Holly- wood and Los Angeles to the north and Disneyland to the east, what more could one ask for. It is senseless to describe each individual adventure, as there were too many, but Long Beach proved to be one of the better ports and also the perfect place for young men to expel their stored up energy that had accumulated after ten long days at sea. After leaving Long Beach, we made our way up the N.W. coast, leaving warmth and sunshine of California behind us. Soon Cape Flaherty was in sight. We made our way through the straits and steamed through Puget Sound into the bone yard of World War Two shipping, the Reserve Fleet Area of Olympia, Washington. We were here to strip the last life from the Bay State ' s sister, the USS Feland. We had tons of equipment to transfer from the Feland to the Bay State, which would have caused many a salvage engineer to look a second time. Since there is no substitute for middle labor, the task was accomplished well ahead of schedule. For liberty there is not much to be said ; we saw a new coun- try and met new people. These two things proved to be the highlight for most of us. One thing we cannot overlook is the hos- pitality shown us by the residents of the Capital of the State of Washington. 106 Next on the agenda was the big town of San Francisco, with sunshine, warmer weather, and big city living. After a short run down the coast, with the Pacific living up to its name, we picked up the San Fran- cisco pilot. Passing beneath the famed Golden Gate, we were presented with a startling view of the city of hills. We tied up within the shadow of the famous res- taurant. Fisherman ' s Grotto. Liberty in Frisco was of course, excellent. The mid- dies sampled it all from the North Beach with its night clubs and beatniks, to China- town, Telegraph Hill, and the Golden Gate. So, with deep regret, we left the lights, lovelies, and laughs, and settled down to the sea routine once again, looking forward to a ten day run Panama, We were originally supposed to transit the canal and dock at Cristobol but due to a mix up in the higher echelon, we once again found ourselves across the canal from Balboa at Fort Rodman. History repeated itself in many ways ; new acquaintances blossomed and old ones were renewed. 107 The last frantic rush for souvenirs for the folks, peace offerings for the sweethearts, and trinkets for the younger set found the middies engaged in ruthless bargaining with the owners of every shop from Rodman to Panama. Funds were low, but there was still time for enjoyment and the boys took advantage of it. Our next port, Baltimore, Maryland, soon began to stir up the curiosity of the mid- dies. The trip up was spent getting our trusty vessel shipshape and proper for her re-entry into the good old U.S. The weather got progressively cooler as we steamed northward and we all expressed our regret. as each day the sun appeared lower and lower in the sky. Upon our arrival, we were greeted very hospitably by the citizens of the city. When we were out on liberty, we were impressed even more as to the friendly atmosphere created by the people there. The U.S.O. put on a couple of real enjoyable dances for us and along with the night life, there was plenty to see during the day. One of the highlights was a trip to Annapolis, the site of the Naval Academy. Many of us were awed at the grandure and flashy military routine, but deep down inside we all stood 108 loyal to the good old Bay State and her Merchant Marine ways. She may not have the polish, but she does have everything else. Before we get involved in a merchant vs. Navy debate let ' s stop here — we know who is better anyway. At any rate, we en- joyed our trip to the Academy and the mid- dies appreciated the opportunity to see how the other half lives. Lest we forget — there are a few potential Ensigns in our midst, but the ball and chain will take care of them in due time. Needless to say, spirits were high as we cast our lines off and steamed past historic Fort Sumpter on the final leg of our journey towards Boston. Two days more and we would be home again. The Boston lightship loomed over the horizon in no time at all, and soon we were passing by the Graves, into President Roads and up into the anchorage, right off Com- monwealth Pier. Since we arrived at night, we dropped the hook and rode at anchor until the next morning. Line handlers were sent ashore right after breakfast and we were soon maneuvering alongside the pier. Once secured, the ship was stormed by enthusiastic parents, girl friends, relatives, and other friends of the middies. After a frantic rush to shift into dress uniforms, the call for liberty went. It was all over and we were glad to be Home ! ! 109 The joy of occupying second class bunks was somewhat marred when we realized that the first class would be just across the hatch. Our visions of late sacks disappeared but we soon adapted ourselves to the situa- tion and found that it wasn ' t so bad after all. Upon returning from leave period we were delighted to see shining new faces aboard the Bay State. Needless to say, they were welcomed faces, for these visitors were to stay with us for two years and assume many of the unpleasant tasks that were ours as third classmen. But, all that glitters is not gold: it ' s the belt buckles that started gleaming when the Navy appeared from over the horizon. Mid- dies became rows o ' corn and the slip stick replaced the paper bound book in the back pockets. Restriction replaced liberty as the 1-50 list grew grotesquely out of proportion. Thus began the reign of terror. The Spanish inquisition was a direct oppo- site in comparison. After being divided into two groups with common interests for awhile, we discovered that a closer communion had developed in our individual groups and good fellowship was enjoyed by all. As we struggled under the burden of in- tense studies, we discovered that the first class looked dimly on our unsquaredaway- ness . Purge followed purge but by tun- ning to regularly, we found that mast could be avoided. The Vagrant marveled at the fact that some of us understood what he was teaching and he favorably compared us to the dunces of the first class. At about this time the local gentry took notice of us and discovered that there was an academy at the end of Pier Road. This revelation so interested these folks that dances were held in order that the middies could be observed. These dances were a welcome break in the tedium of studies and although some of the boys accused the girls at these dances of being too young, it was a thoughtful and a welcome gesture. 1 )2 bunks to go cigarette butt hunting. The square jaw that loomed behind the flash- light glow belonged to a new member of the faculty. This salty, efficient and much respected newcomer was thought to be part polar bear because he delighted in decorat- ing the 0-1 deck with frost bitten middies in sub zero temperatures. The plot to steal and hide the 0-1 deck was abandoned when it was realized that Narook of the North The Reviveth Flame Society was form- ed and succeeded in finding the boys a home away from home and soon we out- numbered the more colorful habitues of this mundare bistVo. Few will forget the pre-dance party held in the Congo Room of this establishment. Who - are - the - compartment - cleaners ? soon became a familiar sound. It was al- ways followed by the muffled curses of noc- turnal janitors as they rolled out of their would probably hold supper formations on the Foe ' s 1. The bulkheads of second divi- sion gleamed from frequent applications of soojee and first class deck was reminded of what it was like to be youngies. The Spanish department was replaced by a soft spoken linguist from south of the border. We were much impressed by his broad scope of knowledge and experience. He cer- tainly had been around and we even learned a lot of Spanish too ! ! 113 On the 14th of March, the Bay State Maru once again left the Bay (after a slight engineering delay) for her 1960 cruise to the Mediterranean. The list of ports were: Hamilton, Bermuda ; F u n c h a 1, Maderia ; Palma De Mallorca ; Naples, Italy ; Valencia, Spain; Las Palmas, Gran Canaria; Miami, Florida; and the Bay. Each port brings back many memories of good times we had. Waiting off Bermuda in a stormy night, then to see the islands and the blue water the next day was well worth it. Liberty found us with a new toy, the motorbike. These two wheeled bombs brought us inside, outside, thru, and on many places. To the Elbow-Beach Surf Club, Princess Hotel and others the name M.M.A. became the by-word or watch-word of many. As we left the islands for Europe, we became part of an air-sea rescue oper- ation. We did our part too, the saving of a radar buoy. Then came nine days of painting, navi- gating and steaming to Funchal. This little port on the map became our anchorage for the next five days. With a tour over the mountain island and visits to many wine shops in Funchal, many of us became great admirers of Casanova. Of course, after 5 days, we were ready and willing- to leave our little home for the Med and Palma. Palma de Mallorca was one of the high- lights of the cruise, although engine trouble almost stopped us. Here once again, we ran into many things and places, with Vespas, of course many more names became part of us, like Los Tres Mosqueteros with Kookie, and the Merry Bar. Middies were replacing barmaids and a great time was had by all. After three too short days, we left Palma and set course for Naples and the Easter Holidays. Once in Naples, one watch at a time went to Rome for three days at the price of twenty dollars. With stops on the way, many were once again in their proper roll as mid- dies. With the nights to ourselves and the days for touring, we saw such places as Vatican City, the Catacombs, The Olympic Games Sight, the Coluseum, Appian Way, the Fountain Trevia, and many other places. 115 With everyone aboard the Bay State Maru, we started the long and hazardous journey, for the ship, home. But before leaving the Med, we paid a visit to Valencia, Spain and gave American good will a shove. While there, the U.S.N. S.P. ' s were particu- larly impressed by our conduct in such fam- ous places as the Zambra and Derby Clubs that they wished a bon voyage as we left. The highlight of our stay was the chance to see a bull-fight. In due course, we found that the matador ' s life isn ' t always as easy as one reads about. Finally leaving Spain, and the Med, we headed for our last Euro- pean Port o ' Call, Las Palmas. Las Palmas was visited during a festival, and many of us spent days at the beach (for this was one of the last chance for Bennies ), and the nights helping festival time along. After this brief stay, we once again set our course for home, via Miami. Once at sea, doubts arose as to when and where we would finally rest, but the snipes did maintain a head of steam even though our pace was cut to a leisurely nine knots. We drifted into Miami, only to have the Coast Guard take our papers away. Rumors had it that M.M.A. was to settle in Miami 116 for the duration of time. In line with our stay, the Key to Miami was presented by Miss Miami, and with this many doors were unlocked only to reveal a high price list, that also was accompanied by I.D. ' s. Through hard work of the snipes and the benevolent attitude of the U.S. Coast Guard, our papers were once more restored and we departed from Miami on schedule. The Maru plodded up the East Coast and we arrived at the Bay on time. The ordeal of the Bay State and her troubles were over — the second class cruise was complete ! ! f w,. January 17, 1961 found the Bay State sailing over the horizon on our last training cruise. As we headed south, the Atlantic proved very uncooperative and our proud vessel staggered from side to side through- out the entire run along the coast. Cases of seasickness raised many doubts among the rookies as to the wisdom in deciding upon a nautical career. Soon, however, the warmth of the Caribbean and the prospect of our first port erased all discomforts. We anchored in Gatun Lake and sim- mered there a few days. A cool refreshing dip into the placid water would have been a pleasant relief from the heat, but the lake was teeming with allidiles and crocigators. Happily, by the time the weekend came around, we had transisted the canal to Rod- man. Tears came to our eyes as we looked at this fondly remembered city, and some of us were ready to apply for our second papers in obtaining Panamanian citizenship. The U.S. Naval Station at Rodman had much to offer and we greatly enjoyed wal- lowing in the large pool during the blister- ing afternoons. These invigorating swims were only interrupted by sojourns across the street for welcome liquid refreshments. Despite the warnings of the more experi- enced and blase first classmen, many lower classmen dared to venture into the city itself in search for strange and exotic things. Our class sadly reflected upon the youth of today and decided experience is the best teacher. After visiting the famous Rock and Roll Zoo, where we saw the mon- key laugh, we took in our moorings and for the second time entered the vast Pacific. The run down the west coast of S. A. was. accompanied by fair weather and untroubled sailing. The long trip was broken up only by our initiation into the Solemn mysteries of the Ancient Order of the Deep. This was a welcome break in the extended run and proved to be a valuable morale booster. 120 Valparaiso will probably be remembered as the best port of the cruise. Genuine hos- pitality was shown by the Chileans as we were royally entertained from arrival to departure. Dances at the Chilean North American Cultural Institute gave us the appreciated opportunity to establish contact with girls with whom we could never have become acquainted under ordinary circum- stances due to the strict social customs and etiquettes. Naturally short lived romances sprung up and some of them continued via air mail. Dances, cocktail parties, dinners, and invitations to private homes cemented the friendship between the Chileans and the Middies. All good things must end, and after promising the senoritas we would be back in a few months, we left the beaches of Vina del Mar to board the Bay State. Our ship had acquired the habit of rolling, mere berthing failed to quench her enthusiasm for this, and for five days she rocked mer- rily away to the tune of snapping manillas and deckie curses. When the Bay State took in her moorings and slowly pointed her bow to the north, Farouk stood at the rail wiping his eyes and sadly waving good- bye to the twelve pronged pet which the wild life authorities had taken from him. 121 The Bay State churned through porpoises and jellyfish for days until ODAR (odor detection and ranging-) told us that Callao was near. Fragrant zephyrs wafted over to us from the fi ' sh factory and effervescent bubbles of sulphur gases floated gaily from the mucky bottom of Callao Harbor. The vapors penetrated everything, leaving a black residue on our white bulkheads that not even Mac ' s soojee could remove. We wandered through poverty stricken Callao to Lima, where we saw the sights and bought llama skins and silver. One of our classmates was almost elected as local dog catcher but his method of handling canines was not approved. Most of us found Lima a bustling modern city which offered the Bay Staters many opportunities to widen their horizons and broaden their knowledge of the foreign way of life. In her enthusiasm to leave Callao, the Bay State ran aground and our most wel- com.e departure was delayed. After some work and maneuvering We were soon under- way again and not long after departure the clean Pacific breeze quickly removed any traces of our stay in Peru. 124 An uneventful passage brought us back to what some of us considered our second home — Panama. Starboard watch knew it was Panama since most of them were told by one of the aborigines that, Thees ees the Panama Canal. This time, however, the donkeys pulled us past Rodman and Balboa to our fourth port. Cristobal proved to be nothing but a half dozen streets of bars, bars, arid more bars. We searched in vain for libraries, museums, and other places to enjoy ourselves in, but after futile exploration we were forced to find our amusement elsewhere A restful few days sailing through the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico brought us to Galveston. At the pier we were greeted by a band and gentlemen from the Chamber of Commerce, who had quite a busy schedule planned for us. Tours, din- ners, and a fine dance at the Jack Tar suc- ceeded in making our visit to Texas a very enjoyable one. Real Southern hospitality on the part of city, marine, and state offi- cials added to our appreciation of this busy island-city. There was, however, a marked lack of privacy aboard the Bay State. A 125 middie emerging from the showers might well have met five senators and one or two airline stewardesses grinning at him. It did not seem to bother them. They would just tip their ten gallon hats, and say, Howdy y ' all , and continue on to inspect the berth- ing compartments. But midshipmen, having innate modesty, found this rather embar- rassing. After all, it is difficult to indulge in social niceties when standing with noth- ing but a tooth brush and a bar of soap between you and nakedness. Tampa, our next stop, displayed no dis- tinctive features and we whiled away our time swimming, sightseeing, and visiting the surrounding districts. Many of us took the bus to St. Petersburg which had good beaches and, it was rumored, nickel beers. Nights found us far from St. Pete ' s, the sight of all those retired people sitting on sidewalk benches waiting for the grim reaper proved unsettling. We left Tampa; and rounding the tip of Florida into the Atlantic, the Gulf Stream gave us a considerable push towards our last port. Kodiak had, for days, been telling 126 anyone who would listen, of the advantages of going to New Bedford instead of Buz- zards Bay or Boston. Fearing that the of- ficers would be subjected to the boredom of being with their wives and children after three months at sea, the thoughtful Dymas prepared a banquet. Subtle coaxing from the Board increased the enthusiasm in the wardroom toward this affair and it was well stacked with brass. Thus ended the cruise. We bounded home overflowing with souvenirs and sea stories, to wait for our bennies to fade away. 128 129 FOOTBALL FRONT ROW; Crosby, Brown, Gardner, Pina, Townsend, Butler, Bartlett, Campbell, Hanhisalo.

Since sports began at the Maritime Academy they have fought a never ending battle against Rules and Regulations, scholastic failures, and a generally negative attitude towards sports exhibited by the regime. The most influential factor in favor of sports has probably been Mr. Yard, instructor of Spanish. Meeting a myriad of obstacles, Mr. Yard has still managed, practically singlehandedly, to bring athletics into focus. We wish to express our deepest appreciation to Mr. Yard for his interest in the athletic program. Class of 1961. 135 137 L-L-L-L-L-et ' s g-go . . . Engineers On Th-Th-This Li-Li-Line!

This year it was held at the Statler Hilton Hotel in Boston. The highlight of the Ring Dance is a ceremony conducted under the arches of the enlarged ring; this ceremony represents the marriage of the cadet to his profession in the Merchant Marine. The cadet ' s date dips his ring into the binnacle which con- tains waters from the seven seas of the world. This represents the field in which the young man is to spend his future. The binnacle also contains a compass, symboliz- ing the straight and true course the young man is to steer upon graduation. After the ring is removed from the binnacle, it is placed on the finger of the cadet, thus com- pleting the ceremony. Being the most distinguished social event of the year, the Ring Dance is ended by practically the entire cadet corps in honor of the graduating class. The first classmen are in dress white uniforms. 140 CADET OFFICERS — Change of Command — FRONT ROW: Whitney; Robinson; Farrell, A.

Countries put back on their eco- nomic feet by our tax dollars are now industrially strong enough to compete with us in the markets of the world. They can often undersell us, right here at home. We Americans welcome fair competition ; it is part of our way of life. And foreign aid, as needed, must continue. However, in 1959 the United States ran a deficit of approximately $4 billion in its inter- national balance of payments. This is the third year in succession of such a deficit, and we cannot permit this to continue indefinitely. There ' s no need to press the panic button. But it ' s time to roll up our sleeves and regain our share of world markets. We in the shipping industry are in a position to see one very easy way to help remedy this. While our foreign competitors insist on having the bulk of their exports and imports carried by ships of their own merchant fleets, Americans are not similarly patronizing American flag ships for trade and travel. Latest figures show that American ships transport less than 11 ; of America ' s total foreign trade! American dollars which fail to give a reasonable support to American shipping are contributing di- rectly to this deficit in our balance of payments. In eflfect, they are helping to weaken the effectiveness of the United States in world affairs. The result is to weaken the defenses against our enemies. I have no hesitation in urging you to skip Amer- ican, travel American — and thereby help our coun- try ' s economy and our world position. AMERICAN EXPORT LINES President 39 BROADWAY. NEW YORK 6, N.
