Along with the dignified composure about him, he appeared very much at home and yet foreign to his surroundings. After glancing about for a few moments, he looked at me — and scratching his chin he stated; You know, lad, this is a bit different from the old school. Yes, those were the days of wooden ships and iron men. Then — with a slight smile, he gave a salute and departed. Yes, he was correct, it is a bit different from the old school (as any old M.M.A. salt will tell vou during his relating of a laughter filled and slightly exaggerated sea story) — but not that different. As long as there is an M.M.A., as long as there are middies, there will al- ways be an 86, a youngie, a mid, a cozy spot or a ship to jump, a classmate to say You rate it and a group of well versed liberty hounds singing the renowned phrases of the Academy Theme Song ( We ' re a bunch of et ' .-ctc. ). However, the unique expressions used at the Academy form only a fraction of the lasting memories we will take with us. There are memories of many weekends on board, oi the unforgettable youngie year, of cruises and liberty, ot dances and parties, of great times and rough times — of laughter and gloom and of the many events that only a middle could relate. And yet, as one looks back, he remembers all those things — good and bad — as part of his years at M.M.A. So, now that our class must set sail, we also will leave our slight mark, as other classes be- fore us have done. The major mark we leave is in the form of the MUSTER, which you are about to read. In this publication we have tried to present to you the Mass. Maritime as we know it; so that, in years to come, all may read and re-read of our Alma Mater. But, with us we will take such momentos as — leftovers from the immortal Hunger Strike a la 62, cUppings from the M.M.A. for State College campaign, the smallest class since before the war, second place in the Colonial Soccer League, a few salts, a little bit of Rio. — Bahia (Scissors Club) and the Falstaff Brewery, and a little bit of yours — dear taxpayer. Paul Ramsay Kelleher Editor-in-Chief 1965 MUSTER 2 DEDICATED TO William L. LaCasse, Jr. To William L. LaCasse, we, the graduating class of 1965, dedicate our yearbook; in appreciation and rec- ognition for all the unrewarded help and advice that he has given us during our stay at Massachusetts Mari- time Academy. At the age of seventeen, after finishing High School, he joined the U.S. Navy and volunteered for submarine service after basic training. Early in 1944, Mr. LaCasse was assigned to the U.S.S. Besugo in the South Pacific theater of war. On the first patrol of the new submarine, they encountered en- emy shipping while surfaced and he was wounded. He was flown back to Pearl Harbor where he recuperated for three months, and was later awarded the Purple Heart. His next assignment lasted to the end of the war, aboard the U.S.S. Chub. During four successful patrols, this submarine was awarded the Submarme Combat Pin with three silver stars, and the crew received the Commanding Officers Commendation. After the war he became active in the American Le- gion and since then he has held the positions of Jr. Vice Commander and Sr. Vice Commander. Mr. LaCasse now resides with his wife Frances and two children, Hallv and Mickv, in Fairhaven, Mass. WilUe, as he is known to all aboard, first came to the Academy in March of 1947. He resigned his posi- tion in 1950, but returned in May of 1954, to lend a helping hand to the midshipmen. We sav Thanks and extend our gratitude to you, Mr. LaCasse, for all vou ' ve done to readv us for our lives at sea. and we hope that this dedication will, in some small wav, show our sincere appreciation. The Graduating Class ot 1965 4 IN MEMORIAM Boatswain Adelbert Nelson Trihou 1912 - 1964 IN REMEMBRANCE OF Adelbert Nelson Tribou. for his devoted work as Boatswain aboard the Bay S tate, and for his sincere willingness to lend a guiding hand to the midshipmen — we devote this page. Mt. Tribou was born on July 26. 1912 in Sagamore, Mass. After his formal schooling, he became employed with the Fore River Shipyard as a licensed engineer and a master mechanic for heavy duty machinery. Upon the outbreak of World War II, he was assigned to government salvage operations, conducted at Pearl Harbor, and served as a Boatswains Mate, with the U.S. Navy. The termination of the War found Mr. Tribou employed by the Arundel Corporation for dredging operations conducted in the New York State area. Later he acquired a position aboard the Tol- edo for the widening of the Cape Cod Canal. Shortly thereafter, he came aboard the training ship Charles- ton to begin his 15 year stay with the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. We who knew Del wiU remember his cheerful na- ture, sinceritv and envied skills. The image that he left wiU be hard to equal. WELCOME Dr. A.

The course includes Orientation, Naval Historv, Lead- ership and Ordnance, all of which enrich the midship- man ' s knowledge leading him to a commission as En- sign in the U.S. Naval Reserve. This objective is accomplished through the capable efforts of the active duty personnel of the Naval Science Department qf the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. RONALD G. COGHLAN Principal Clerk Born in Brooklyn, New York, Chief enlisted with the U.S. Navy in 1927. After serving throughout the Pacific during World War II, he became Chief Yeoman and later taught at Yeoman School, Bainbridge, Maryland, during the Korean conflict. 1957 brough t retirement for the chief, after thirty years of a devoted Naval Career, and today he resides in Buzzards Bay with his wife and four children. Chief is always willing to give a guiding hand to the corps, and deserves a sincere vote of thanks for his assistance to the midshipmen beyond his bounds as Principal Clerk of M.M.A. Hey Chief, is the liberty list ready yet? THE CHIEFS Chief, a native of Arhngton, Mass., has been in uniform for the majority of his lifetime. After enhsting in the U.S. Army in 1937, he quickly rose to the grade of Master Sergeant. 1941 brought wed- ding bells for the chief, and today he is the father of a 16 year old son and a married daughter. Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, he was commissioned and served in the infantry and Mihtary Police Corps acting as escort guard for the prisoners of war on our transports. He has received due recognition for his participation in the action of Europe, Philippines, Korea, China, Japan, and for a short time in Hawaii, Guam and the Wake and Midway Islands. The year 1959 saw retirement for the chief at the grade of Major, and shortly after he became employed as Security Police for the Atomic Energy Commission. Last year, however, chief saw where he was really ' needed, ' and he came to M.M.A. where he can be found every morning at 6:01 greeting us with a hearty, Cammon — Letzgooo or telling us a war story on the mess deck as our Chief Master-at-Arms. 24 DECK DEPARTMENT SUPPLY DEPARTMENT SINCE 1893, the CommoiTwealth of l lassai?fttrsmSr nas devoted a portion of its en- deavors to the training -«C;;gomjjele|it jgg to eapry. on th admirable maritime tradi- tions for whi ' h this state is a(i ,dj = : X Xs INNUMERABLE men hav6?achfeved th adfeldts Degree granted by the Academy; and through this small, but ijivaluable piece of parchment, they have acquired fame and fortune in all facets of maritine industries — as well as recognition for their courage in the Spanish- American, Korean and World Wars.

I I t 1 ? a i Q  i IB l !i tr 31 1! a C Tonv Felos. Roy Saunders, John Finlev, George Santry. Finkley ' s First they were called, the humping whiz kids who scattered paint chips and splashed paint brushes as Mr. Hirst did not think humanly possible. However, the credit and rewards were borne upon the shoulders of the divisions upper-jobs. It was their persistence and hard work that kept the division ' s mo- rale at such a high peak. They worked so well as a unit, that they were occasionally awarded time off during anchoring details. Of course. First Div. couldn ' t have been what it was without the able leadership of one J. W. Finley, com- mander-in-chief of the expeditionary forces of the Bay State. First into every port was the proud claim for these staunch troops. Everyone knew that darhng John trusted his men implicitly; he must have, he was never arround! It just wasn ' t nice around old 1 Div. without good ole ' John pal paying unwavering attention to each little individual discrepancy (for example, — the clogged valve in the storm oil tank of the forepeak. The Bay State had the best lubricated bow on the east- ern seaboard. Good old George, second in command, was a little confused the first half of the cruise. He thought he was a second-job and spent twenty five hours a day striping — funny thing, he was made Cadet Ensign! Well, after, that, he became almost as hard to find as John. FIRST DIVISION Tony ( Tex — to his friends, all two of them) was not too apt with a chipping hammer, but he was always good for a war story when things got sl ow. His favor- ite subjects were ' Navy Subs ' and 15 year old Stough- ton Dames. Roy — Judas — was there also (though most of us find that hard to believe). He was one of our proudest possessions, being the only member of 1 D to hold an honorary seat in the Century Club, (division spirit — you know), to say nothing of the long tedious hours he spent laying plans for the M.M.A. Main Gate sign. We can ' t let our proud, over zealous division officer, Lt._ T. F. Dorsey, be forgotten. He could chip and paint an entire kingpost single-handed, before the break! We all watched him do it. We owe a great deal of our salts to Mr. D, and you might say we learned from the BEST in the business. 29 John Cadet Lieutenant CiR-le K Club Propell er Club Muster Staff Running Fixes Volleyball Team Golf Team Shellback A.F.O.B. Sociable Poker Player JOHN WILLIAM FINLEY 30 WOODLAND STREET ARLINGTON, MASS. Back in 62 ' , John came to us as a representative of Arlington ' s fine outstanding youth. Throughout his three years, John was always careful to keep up his hometown image. He did this by choosing his friends, carefully, studying diligently, always keeping on the right side of the law (both at the Academy and in the nearby towns he frequented), never causing commo- tions or trouble, and never bothering anyone unless it was absolutely necessary. There were times when John relaxed, though, and oc- casionally one would hear John ' s quiet voice calmly arguing the theories of Hoyle with his refined friends. On other occasions, he could be found taking a few minutes off to watch television, attend a Halloween partv, have a cold soda with the group or even have a date with one of the debutantes of Roxbury. During our three cruises, John was always careful to go to the outstanding night spots, meet the better peo- ple, eat in onlv the right places and wink at onlv the higher class young ladies. He, and his friends, could be called true ambassadors of the good will and friendliness of Massachusetts. As a First Classman, John showed his outstanding lead- ership qualities as Cadet Lieutenant of First Division. Our memories of M.M.A. are sure to include John, and the best of success is wished for him. Fair sailing to an outstanding classmate. 30 After spending the first nineteen years of his life su- pervising shipping operations on the South Boston docks, our salt saw fit to bestow his vast marlinspike knowledge upon M.M.A. Although not an angler, Red ' s quiet, serious nature landed him a prominent position in navigation class. After overcoming algebraic difficulties, along with a fondness for couth and cul- ture movies (a fondness which was curtailed rather abruptly). Red came up smelling like a rose. Through his undying efforts, don ' t let the term effort throw you. Red came up smelling as usual but with a stripe half way through his upper job cruise. On the cruise, his high moral standards and suave manners assured him of constant female companionship, but as everyone knows. Red ' s true love lies in Australia. Upon graduation, George will be missed almost as much as his Playboy magazines. In future years we won ' t be surprised to see him sailing for the Far East on a United States Line ship. Good sailing to a top salt. 31 Tony Cross-dountrv Team Soccer Muster Staff Bird Watchers (robins) Running Fixes Volleyball Team Night Riders 1 ANTHONY PETER FELOS. JR. 720 PARK STREET STOUGHTON, MASS. Tony came to us all the way from Sou ' west Stowdin with tales of fast cars and good lookin women (or was it vice-versa?). He soon gave up his twinkee times for an honored position as a member of the luckless twelve. Thanks to Tony, we had an official light switch in 64, and a Steel nerved defender of the deckie compartment in 65. One day, when he was aloft, he finally saw it and realized he wanted good solid decks beneath him. As a result, he became a capable winchman in first division. After his admirable performance, both on the soccer field and the cross-country course, we soon realized the goood sportsman capabilities of the Golden Greek. We know he wiO die with his booots on. If Tony can keep his famed nose out of trouble, we know that this saltv submariner will find the easv road to a successful future. Fair sailing to a fine classmate seaman and friend. 32 ROY HAROLD SAUNDERS 4 SHOREMAN AVENUE AMESBURY, MASS. Roy, one of the Outstanding members of our class, began his memorable stay at M.M.A. by performing a disappearing act. His absence was just realized when Judas reappeared to face many weekends aboard, and eventually to become a radiant member of the Lucky 12. Other accomphshments include Captains Mast, M.M.A. Car Stickers (special 25 t each - 3 lor $1.00), old tests dated from 1620 (used as a basis for his new publication Co-operate and Graduate ), and a shiny diamond ring. Roy ' s abihties as a seaman, and his knack for diligent study are evident to all, and we realize that he ' U be Uncle Sam ' s best educated Buck Private — Third Mate. The best is wished for Roy, and we know he ' ll be a success in his future goals. 33 Ted Paige, Blair Hamblett. Paul Kelleher. Division II It was foggy, on those high spooky decks, that morn- ing when the Duck waddled through his first inspec- tion, preceded by that ever present whisp of smoke that manifests itself when least expected or desired. Suddenly there was a heavy treading down the 02 deck. As it grew louder, a dark form came closer and soon Duck recognized Lou Baggs, Jr., a refugee from the after swamp land on it there. On the other side of the mountain in the port nest Kel, who fell to us from a yardarm, was squaring away a letter, er — a — we mean some line. Things were quite often lonely and solitary up there in Second Div., since there were only three First class- men this year. Duck, Lou, and Kel; nevertheless, they aided us in gaining much experience through warping ships around docks and raising gangways as the ship was moved for the Governor ' s cruise, a hurricane scare, and throughout our training cruise. All this was done under the able leadership of our division officer, Lcdr. Alan MacNaughton. Duckie was an able striper also, and his instructions were explicit; Quack, quack, quack, quack. — which roughly means, Take two squids and swab the gull droppings on the 01 deck. SECOND DIVISION Since there is painting, scraping, soogiing, chipping and other kinds of interesting activities in Second Div., it is n ot strange that our First Classmen are sel- dom seen up in the scenic heights; except when Mr. MacNaughton had the deck. But now the end of the year is closing, it is time for Nasty to send The Three on their way. Lou will probably drop over the side on some dark night and swim away, Kel will snap himself out through the gate with a guitar string, and the Duck wUl just fly away some morning, leaving Awin all alone to haunt that big iron mountain that rises from the middle of the Bay State. 35 Hutch Cadet Lieutenant Golf Team Volleyball Team Propeller Club Honor Guard Drill Team A.F.O.B. Shellback North Shore Club DAVID CHRISTEN HUTCHINGS 123 ELM STREET MARBLEHEAD, MASS. Reported missing from trans, boat, Marblehead har- bor July 22, 1962, D. C. Hutchings. That was what they heard at home. The next morning, due to what we decided was an evil current. Hutch was hung up in the piUngs of the state pier in Buzzaards Bay. We hauled him out, dried him off and with a whip! and a Quack! the boy was off to a highly successful hitch at Cape Cod College of Nautical Knowledge. Before his feathers had hardly fluffed Hutch had an extra week- end. Second job year offered many opportunities for well placed compliments and helpful little extra jobs for Hutch placing him in a coveted position up in the Ivo- ry Tower. The big 2 came Hutch ' s wav the following year in second div. Under excellent supervision the Duck kept the place in top shape, maintaining second division tradition, and keeping the boys happy. No doubt, Dave will find a good berth where ever he goes. Bottoms up to a top classmate. 36 Lou Cadet Petty Officer Newman Club Propeller Club Circle K Club Honor Guard Muster Staff Ring Committee Phi Beta 1-50 Drill Team Shellback Running Fixes North Shore Qub A.F.O.B. Color Guard Gourmet Qub WALTER EDWARD PAIGE, JR. 55 RANGE HEIGHTS ROAD LYNN, MASS. It wasn ' t long after Lou Jr. arrived at M.M.A. before he realized he had his own private stateroom — next to the barber shop. However, at the finish of his Brasso filled youngie year, he was bounced from one Bum division to another, and eventually found his home as CPO in second division. Nevertheless, Awin often wonders if Lou can find his bunk after taps. Hey! Is Mac sacked in yet? Ted, as his friends call him, is not only able to claim residence in all four divisions, but is also able to claim an attractive souvenir of Texas. We all know that the fair haired boy will find suc- cess wherever his ticket may take him. Fair winds in the future to a true north shore seaman and a loyal classmate. 37 On that unforgettable July 23rd., M.M.A. ' s answer to Rat Music entered the portals of the Annapolis of Southeastern Massachusetts. Studies soon cramped Paul ' s style (in more ways than one) but, regardless of the 1-50 Blues, he strove to become an accomplished Night Rider and gained an honorary 5V2 hr. biUing, each weekend, at D.W.F. Park. However, when he found time to be at the Academy, he was either singing the same old tune with his tenor guitar, converting Newmanists, or giving advice to aD the kids. Assumption is no substitute for knowledge. (amen) As a Second Classman, Kel found himself swinging in the rigging — onlv to fall into Second Di ision for the final year of Academy living as an upper-job. His last year at M.M.A. has brought an enjoyable side- light for Paul — Hev Kel. where ' s vour ring? Due to the formidable, unavoidable ' gruesome threesome, he has been able to exrell in a night course at Camp R. and in his graduate course at B.S.C. We must offer our sincere gratitude to Paul, for his devotion as editor to this year ' s Muster. No doubt, his personahty. ability and stature will in- sure his future goals. Smooth sailing to a true friend and shipmate. 38 THIRD DIVISION Dan Skwvra, Andv Harvey, Andy Chester. All work and no play was the motto of Lou ' s salty fantail gang. With the Bald Eagle cracking the whip; and his frustrated sidekick, the girl killer from Braintree — Mr. N-1 Jacket (still screaming, It should have been me ) dashing around and about, making sure that the fantail didn ' t rust awav during the coffee break; and last and least, the forgettable Herman Munster, on loan from the U.S. Army Commandoes, just waking up from three years of deep slumber because somebody yelled free beer, we had our answer to the Three Stooges. Yet, far away, up in God ' s country, our real leader, Mr. Page, was dreaming of a square rigged clipper, that would carry him to far off places away from the idiots whom he was trying, vainly, to show a few of the countless tricks which only a sea dog as himself could know. Many a time we listened to him as he ex- claimed, Fellas!!! Fellas!!!, we never did it like that back on Isthmian! followed by a lengthy explanation on the proper way to throw a heaving line. All kidding aside however, we consider it a privilege to have been trained by one of the true Masters of the trade, as evidenced by his years as a pilot on the great Panama Canal. We all owe Mr. Page a debt of gratitude for persis- tence and guidance during our stay on the Bay State, On it there! 39 ANDREW DAVID CHESTER 17 EUTAW STREET LAWRENCE, MASS. Out of the skies of Lawrence came the golden haired eagle known as Chester. Eags for short. It seems our feathered friend had gotten his dates mixed up and had come a year earher than the rest of the class. When the rest of the flock arrived the next year he was quite displeased at the idea of joining in but with a concerted effort he joined the flock and has Cadet Lieutenant Propeller Club Phi Re Kappa Tread Phi Beta 1-50 Volleyball Team had his chin pointed forever forward and upward. In his second job year he perched himself in the back and not too much fluttering was heard. However when Andy turned upper job he got his two in third and im- mediately endeared himself for life with all the upper jobs engineers. We ' re sure thev will all join in wishing him the best of luck. 40 Linus Chief Petty Officer Honor Guard Band Circle K Club Phi Beta 1-50 S.S.S.O.A. Gourmet Club ANDREW MacMILLAN HARVEY 47 HAMILTON STREET BRAINTREE, MASS. It was a cold day when Andy came aboard, only eigh- ty degrees, but with all the activities a third classman participates in, the cold weather didn ' t bother him, especially after he met Linus. When Andy was assigned to Third Division he took an extraordinary interest in his work and in the division. At sea he was known to spend up to eighteen hours in third division, on the rec deck. Of course, being versatile as all middies are, Andy also studied the heating system of the Bay State and tried to keep us as warm as possible. With his wardrobe of selected clothes, picked up in his travels, and his ticket, Andy won ' t need all the luck we wish him to become a man of the world. 41 Dan — Sarge Piopellcr Club Runnin;; Fixes Volleyball Team F.O.B. Shellback DANIEL JOHN SKWYRA 8 RAYNOR STREET BLACKSTONE, MASS. What Blackstone lost the U.S. Army and the people of Bourdeaux, France, gained. Not to be outdone, M.M.A. quickly scooped up this old man before he could get settled in Blackstone. Dan quickly got accustomed to the Academy way of living and probablv had the nicest 3 years of any of us. On the cruises, it can be said that Sarge, Dan, or Her- man, was truly an ambassador of good will. Dan will long be remembered in the different far flung ports of call and Dan will always have memories of the times he had. Although Dan never made the Dean ' s List here at M.M.A.. he did come close bv making the Super- intendent ' s List a couple of times. With hard plugging and help from someone up there. Dan is now on the road to getting his well earned ticket. U ' hether it ' s pink, broadwav. 42nd Street or is it 43rd street; or Dan ' s distinguished timelv laugh and never ending sense of humor, he will always be remembered as a good seaman and a friend to all. 42 ' M NAV. DIVISION Rick Stroud. Denis Ford. Navigation division, comprised of everything from the 03 and above, is headed by Cdr. William J. Connors, who is often heard saying, At least 90%, and not one of you will make it. Due to the unrelenting pressure imposed by Cdr. Connors, nearly all the graduating deck midshipmen achieved a score of 90% or above in Navigation and Rules of the Road. In class you will often hear, It ' s in the book in black and white. I ' m not here to spoon feed anyone, from the three striper on down! Unlike the other deck divisions, most of our time is spent inside, but work we do. The chipping ham- mers, rust, and paint are let go in favor of the pen, charts, and publications. All is much quieter this way. Being a first classman in Nav. Div. is considered to be a deal. After learning the ropes in the two previous years, in the other divisions, you learn how the brain center of the Bay State works — with its joys and frustrations. Often comes the cry, You ' re the cadet navigator, vou tell me!!!? The function of the Navigation division is to assist the Navigator in his chores of maintaining and keeping up the various pieces of navigation equipment and the many publications used aboard the vessel. The knowl- edge gained in this way proves to be invaluable in the later vears which put the men of Nav. Div. far ahead of their classmates for the years ahead. It is not just these men, but all deck graduates who owe more than they can ever repay to Commander Connors, the one man above all others, who plays such an important part in preparing them for their licenses and their future years at sea. 43 4 Rick Battalion Adjutant Watch I Old Guard Propeller Club Sociable Poker Player VoUevball Team Shellback RICHARD BRUCE STROUD TREMONT STREET DUXBURY, MASS. As we looked to the Far East and the land of the rising sun, we saw the Ricky Maru steaming toward Cape Cod for a three year layover. During this period, book cracking was never his chief activity, in fact, punting was always in order. In addi- tion, his bunk (?) was nearly always in use. His marks, however, never indicated these procrastinating habits. Shortly after Rick received his big tliree, his division was usually short of its upperclassmen. However, on occasion this prodigal son would find his wav bridge- ward, due to the oppressing paperwork in the office below. In parting we would like to wish vou the best of luck. Rick, hoping vou will work as hard on the job as vou did in avoiding them in the past three vears. 44 Henrv Cadet Lieutenant Honor Guard Drill Team Newman Club Propeller Club Soccer Team, Mgr. Cruise Librarian Running Fixes Volleyball Team Shellback w DENNIS FRANCIS FORD 34 GREATON ROAD WEST ROXBURY, MASS. Fresh from the confines of total protection, this young lad was thrown upon the mercy of the M.M.A. system. Quickly bending under the pressure, he was soon to display the traits of a true midshipman. Henry ' s second year revealed his unapproachable, but easily surpassed, proficiency in the art of communica- tions, and many a weekend was served him, courtesy of the state. However, we know Henry ' s good fortunes were just beginning, when the stripes were handed out he became Bill ' s right hand man. Starting out on the right foot (his left one) he quickly achieved the nickname of Bartlett 11. Good luck in the future, Henry, and may your Aldis lamp always be inoperable, so that your success in the future will be insured. 45 CADET OFFICERS STANDING: Mulchings, Finley, Ford, Chester, McClamery, Stroud.

Backing him up was our one-striper, a cranberry picking Bogger who, when he wasn ' t mast- erminding new ways to get to Arizona, was busily at work thinking up new Bogger Jokes with which to convince the rest of the class that he was indeed a true Bogger. Our list of peons ' includes a window smashing gambler who absolutely refuses to go on liberty in any Texas port; an escapee from the Mr. Clean proving grounds; a rugged street fighter who hasn ' t found a pregnant woman between East Boston and Hyannis that he couldn ' t outrun; a Raynhamese laundry man who gave up his job as rabbit at the Raynham Dog Track to come to M.M.A. and wash clothes; and last but certainly not least, we ' ll never forget our unusually strange doctor who has been taking lessons in father- hood (and making very good progress) for the past vear and a half. There was never a closer-knit group as the Watch One Pals stuck through thick and thin, much to the dismay of the Three Queens. We thank Father Fred and Willie for guiding us through the year, and with their expert advice, we know we can ' t help but do the Wright thing in the fu- ture. 47 Ed Cadet Lieutenant Watch 1 Old Guard Propeller Club Weight Lifting Team EDWARD JAMES ADAMSON 58 ROSEMONT ROAD NORTH WEYMOUTH, MASS. Emerging from the flatlands of Weymouth, Ed, our an- swer to Bucky Beaver, came to MMA. Ed surprised us all by growing four inches in three years and also landing the big two in Watch I. The latter was accom- plished by a sudden change in cigarette brands (Salem to ParUament) during his second class year. Ed ran into a few tough spots on our last cruise, but, due to his extreme good nature and talented feet, he came out unharmed. The Gutter Rat has vet to get over the brutal beating he sustained at the feet of our hero. In spite of it all, Ed has proved to be a very diligent engineer. We all wish him luck, and feel certain that with Fred ' s advice and that 4.0 seat, he ' ll go a long wav. 48 Bogger Cadet Ensign On a hot, sunny day in July of 1962, there arrived, at the gates of MMA, a true bogger. Bill came to the academy fresh out of high school with loads of ideas, but soon settled down to the quiet hfe of the Bay State. Studies came easy to him, and ex- cept for one run-in with Naval Science, he found him- self with plenty of extra liberty. With his hard work. WILLIAM RUDOLPH McGLAMERY 32 SCHOOL STREET HYANNIS, MASS. quick wit, and many puns, Bill set his course for the Cadet Officer ' s office, and a striper slot in Watch I. Bill has given us many nights of laughter, thanks to his subtle humor. We feel Bill is destined for bigger things in life, and we wish him best of luck here and in Arizona. 49 Ron Muster Staff Propeller Club Golf Team Soccer Team Night Riders Gamblers Anonymous The Gorge RONALD THOMAS CARROLL 44 WEST EAGLE STREET E.AST BOSTON, MASS. One hot July morning in 1962 along with Uncle Al ' s weekly shipment of baloney came Ron Carroll, East Boston ' s standard bearer to MM A. Although he found giving up his checkered pants and pointed shoes hard he was consoled by his new found friendship with a certain Boona. Although Ron ' s first trip to Hyannis had his eyes bulging Ron found that the couthness of North station was more to his Uking. Our second job Spanish classes were turned into semi- nars by Ron ' s eloquence. And when he had a chance to make a connection in San Francisco during the cruise he came through as we alwavs knew he would. Ron ' s last year was spent in the Gorge with the rest of Wright ' s Warriors. He highlighted his upper job cruise by a bloody entanglement with a Curacao Beigen and a raid on the green felt tables of the rec deck by J. Edgar Pheasant. Due to his Pea-coat locker education we feel sure that Ron will cause a big splash in any field he chooses to enter. 50 Walt Ring Committee Propeller Club Ring Dance Committee Spring Dance Committee Honor Guard Circle K Club Laundry, Executive Manager Turbine Team The Gorge WALTER JOHN CZERNY, JR. 276 ELM STREET RAYNHAM, MASS. One summer morning, Raynham lost one of its most influential citizens as Walter Czerny departed for Buzzard ' s Bay, and the big city life. The previous night, the entire population (13), threw him a Get Out or Going Away party. Solid in stature and high in spirit, Walt was not a bit discouraged when, on his first day, he dropped his tray in the chow line. After aU, it did weigh two pounds, and there was a spoon on it. Staunch physical training followed, but was soon relin- quished for the greener pastures of the laundry. Mr. Clean (he took everyone to the cleaners), a rather flimsy member of the Gorge, never said much, ex- cept for an occasional meeting with his 01 Gran Dad. During his last year at the academy, some shipmates thought Walt should be on stage (the next one to Tuc- son), but now graduation is upon us and he ' s made it. Walt ' s strong regard for employees was exemplified when a group of party goers almost drowned in suds. A life ring from the USS Tom, saved the day. We wish Good Luck to Walt, and remind him that, The eyes of Raynham are upon you. 51 Cross Country Team Muster Staff Propeller Club P.F. Crovo Fan Club Archeology Club Gourmet Club JAMES GEORGE DAINIS 39 WORCESTER STREET BRIDGEWATER, MASS. From farm boy to seaman in three short years would be an excellent beginning for a biography on Jim. Starting out though, Jim had a hard time deciding between a life at sea or a hfe in the field. Finally reaching a happy medium, Jim attended the academy, but always carried an ample supply of good farm loam as a reminder of earlier days. A move from Middleboro to Bridgewater by Jim ' s par- ents, during his second class year, exposed him to the fast pace of city life. He enjoyed watching the city folk more than acting as one of them, and could often be found sitting on a park bench feeding the pigeons. Jim is a thrifty person — a dime can provide him with much joy. As early as our first cruise we realized his appreciation of fine cuisine. Jim ' s many nicknames would only serve to soil this publication but some of the less pungent are; Tie White Knight. Dusty, and most recently, Eric. A rolling stone gathers no moss and we hope the same for Jim as he travels the oceans of the world. I i I 52 Having failed to win the Nobel Prize in medicine for the work in his favorite field, Doc, in one of his dark- est hours, came to M.M.A. to serve three years as as- sistant ship ' s surgeon. After Harvard Medical School, studies at M.M.A. were a snap, and when marks were posted Doc was usually at the top of the list, much to everyone ' s chagrin and awe. A fearless hunter in his own right, Doc could usually be seen stalking around the countyside, emitting his wild animal call, Here kitty, kitty. To do Doc jus- tice, it must be said that it wasn ' t very often that he ' d return from a golf special without at least one birdie, or a handful of feathers. As an avid member of the Archeology Club, Doc could also be seen in search of the old ruins of many far off lands. It was a dull night for all if he returned from liberty without at least one sea story. To Doc we wish to extend our best wishes for a happy and prosperous future. With his many friends, good sense of humor, and magic Genie, he ' s sure to suc- ceed. 53 Sully Propeller Club Couth and Culture Society (Director) Gourmet Club I.R.A.

There were few occasions when he lost his smile, but we thought it gone for good when he tried to frown his way through that detector in Texas. Once again though honesty won out and SuUy survived the threat- ened bounce. Not easily discouraged. Sully set out to solve the prob- JOHN FRANCIS SULLIVAN 302 SOUTH STREET JAMAICA PLAIN, MASS. lems of the world. While in Trinidad, he went to work on the racial problem bv being so kind to a voung marine. In Frisco he demonstrated his aloofness by showing that New Englanders are not stuffed shirts, and formed a happy little club. With his ability to be well received everywhere, we feel certain Sully will be successful, and his luck will follow him to hell and back. 54 SECTION TWO Gell, Mr. MacLeod, Kelley, Fears, Gibbons, Saunders, R. C, Mr. Tonello, Hathaway, Forand, Nott. This year ' s brigade of Mario ' s Marauders, as usual contained the better part of the brass much to the con- sternation of everyone during leave period, except of course, Watch II. Mario is better known by the handle of Mr. Maintenance and this year, as in all the pre- vious, the watch lived up to his standards. With ' Bobbie Jobbie ' MacLeod as the second in com- mand, we enjoyed many long, long, conversations dur- ing those dull mids. We hope that Mr. MacLeod will continue this practice and keep next year ' s upper jobs up and awake with his new ideas. ' Aska Forand, ' the ranking member of the Three Queens, ' gave much inspiration to the watch as our four striper, as long as it ' s okay with a shertin Capt. Gus decided to withdraw his holdings in the corpora- tion of ' El Cine Roble ' when the board of directors awarded him only 25 shares to the projectionist ' s 50. Surely the little critic tried to be a Httle more gener- ous. Leading the watch this year was our answer to Miss America — Babbie Gell. Bob always led the watch straight, straight to the nearest mirror. But we can ' t complain because this is the first year that the color of the after heads has matched the odor, right Gibby? ' Dawnie Hathaway ' was the last, but not the least, of the stripers this year. Actually there was more of Don than the other stripers put together. Cherry till now, we wonder if Don will be able to keep his perfect rec- ord. The only member of the watch who was bigger than Don was the head barber of the class, Jim Gibbons. Jim, excelling in math, and batting 1.000 with the fire axe, proved to be Mario ' s right hand man come cruise time, and the chief s top head cleaner after that. We are sure that Jim will be one of those quiet men who live only to have those Saturday afternoon visits to a funeral home. One of the other treads in the watch was Skip Fears. He proved to have a good first name for in the last few weeks here he decided to skip studies and to skip over the fence. It was a shame that he had to skip li- berty formations for the rest ot the year too. The last of our treads was Paul Kelly. The old ' Bulb ' will long be remembered for his continued humming of ' Candy Man. ' Paul has the dubious distinction of being the watchs ' lube oil expert, right Angie? But we hope that Paul will watch his weight and not eat too much candy in the next few years. The lover of the watch, ' Torpedo Nott, ' was the frus- trated striper of the watch. After thinking over his loss of the stripes he figures, ' Without shoulders, where would I have put the boards? ' But George made up for bis loss by showing up the rest of the class with his Lady (?) killing in the land of the Bajans. The last of our little kittens is Puss Saunders, Watch II ' s laundry worker. It must have been fairly profitible for him as he ' s the only member of the class driving a new MG-B. Hey Rodge, when do we get our cut? Rodger ' s after the cruise war stories really thrilled the folks at home, but he never did say if that Mexi- can sombrero fit the little Bandito. 55 Battalion Commander Muster Staff Ring Dance Committee OSCAR HENRY FORAND, JR 835 MAIN STREET ACUSNET, MASS. The summer of 62 found Jr. ROTC Lt. Colonel, Ret. ah, ah, ah, . . . I ' m sorry sir, but I ' ve forgotten your name: Oh yes Oscar (Gus) Forand, experiencing life as youngie at M.M.A. Gus soon won the confidence of his one striper, Charlie Box, who set him straight on the ways of a middie. Gathering momentum in Mario ' s work gang, his engineering ability was soon noticed in every respect but repairing ford engines. Gus ' s career as a boat builder and Ford mechanic came to an abrupt end in his upper job vear. when his interest changed from things mechanical to things fe- male. Through his ability and determination, Gus has risen to the peak in all his undertakings, and there is httle doubt that he will become a leader in his chosen field. 56 It was back in July of 62 when poor Bob first rolled through the gates of M.M.A. Already an accom- plished sailor, his upper job pals and classmates squared him away fast to cramped shipboard life. But that FaO River accent had to go, so Bob spent many long hours in front of a mirror trying to correct that Somerset gook accent — to no avail! His second year saw him an avid member of Mario ' s chain gang, in which he made a lasting impression and earned the twin bars of two. The 65 cruise time came around, and Bob, the most experienced of the Triple Alliance, led the attack in a port watch retahation after a free night at the Bunny Club in Baltimore! Then, in Trinidad, on the generosi- ty of some Old Oak Marines, Bob tottled back to the ship without noticing the discrepency of his job suit ' s right shoulder! Although he ' s an avid Chevy lov- er. Bob was rapidly selling B U I C K S on five hatch that night! His sales pitch was poorly organized ' though, and he was quietly stowed away in a wire basket for the night! Bob had fun??? on all the cruises!!! As fearless leader of the Watch Two Good Guys, Bob has proven his natural talent and abilities here, and we are sure he will continue to do so throughout life. 57 Don (ladft Ensi-iii Band Propell.T Ckil) Muster Staff Weight Lifting Club Triple Alliance From the Ole Whaler ' s town of New Bedford came our SLIM one-striper of Mario ' s Hustle Division. Appearing in the year ' 62, Don didn ' t take long in be- coming a cozy youngie. He rode through the first two years at MMA unmorganized and cherry in the demerit department. Then easy life and Upper Job year arrived. Hiawatha was the sound echoing from Watch 2 ' s Engine Room, as Don cheerfully greeted his second jobs at morning turn-to! I DONALD ROD LAN HATHAWAY 925 LOBY STREET NEW BEDFORD, MASS. While thoroughly enjoving the ' 65 cruise, Don could be caught chasing Cotton Tails or raising glassy eye- balls in Trinidad. Quite strangelv. though, after two years of devoutly improving Portuguese-Irish relations, Hathpot resigned his diplomatic duties! Now free lancing. Don won ' t let anvthing get in the wav of the more feminine things of life (except mavbe that Merchie pavxoU!!!) In the near futtore. we expect to see the sign Chief Engineer over his door! 58 On August 8, 1961 came a large noise from Gloucest- er who unbeknownst to himself, became one of the ex- clusive members of Phi Re Kappa Tread. The large noise, no less, eminated from a little fellow whom we soon found out was one of Gloucester ' s best. Many a weekend was spent listening to his tales, especially about one cute httle blond from up north. His fondness for this little girl, and M.M.A. ' s reputa- tion for breaking young hearts soon took its toll, but our httle friend took it with a grain of salt like the rest of us. After losing a hard fought battle to Cdr. Cease, Skip returned to master the great formulas of J.M.C. and gain rightful position in the top five. Through all his hardships he has held a steady and de- termined course, and we are sure his determination will bring him lots of success in the future. Best of luck and smooth saihng to a great guy. 59 Gibby Phi Re Kappa Tread Class Barber S.G.A. Key Club Playboy Propeller Club Rifle Team Newman Club JAMES BERNARD GIBBONS 45 GRANVILLE STREET DORCHESTER, MASS. One of the largest Midshipmen to enter the Academy, Jim had a httle trouble with studies at first, but soon found the key to success along with a few others. Getting past the first weekend in August, Gibby found a bit tough, but somehow managed to make it only to run into Commander Cease. Taking a course in embalming, many late nights were spent running between Grennon ' s and M.M.A. Proficient with a fire ax, Jim should have plenty of business if he ever decides to become a funeral direc- tor. Being a barber, and a top engineer, we are sure Jim will be a great success in life, and we wish him bon appetite. 60 Phi Re Kappa Tread Bogger s Inc. Night Riders Swimming Team Newman Club Propeller Club PAUL BERNARD KELLY MAIN STREET BARNSTABLE, MASS. Coming from Barnstable, Paul had his mind set on ex- celling in Naval Science and he did . . . after awhile. After this little setback, Kell overcame his weakness- es and with high ideals and a steady diet of Candy had little trouble the rest of his stay here at M.M.A. Cruises were always a little problem with Paul cause he could never stand being away for so long, but, once we were under way he cheered up a little, after all, weren ' t we on our wav home now? We feel sure that he will always be an expert on the transferring of lube oil, along with his many other tal- ents at engineering. We are sure that Kell knows that all the jokes about his bald head and his married life were all meant in jest and that we respect him as one of the better Ca- dets in our class. Whether at sea or on shore we wish him the best of luck and much success. 61 George Soccer Team, Mgr.

No, it ' s Nott (with two T ' s) George came to M.M.A. with everything from postage paid envelopes to extra job suit buttons, but no shoulder straps. After his bilge filled youngie year, he found himself an apt striper in watch three. Someone once said that if there were any snappers around that George might lose his nose. Georgia was soon hailed as the casanova of our class. We often wonder if G.H. stands for girl hus- tler, especially after many hours of everything from 1 GEORGE H.

Now that George is finally 21 (can we ever forget?) and is proficient in building lean fours, water skiing, and finding the Tempest Inn, — we know that his good sportsmanship, acquired as soccer manag- er, wUl find him success wherever a needy engine room or an irresistable Playboy Club mav require a key touch. Prosperous sailing and fruitful davs to fine seaman, a true friend and classmate. 62 Puss Honor Guard Propeller Club Circle K Club A.C.N.E. Band Laundry ROGER CARL SAUNDERS 155 WYATT ROAD MIDDLETOWN, RHODE ISLAND With Bible in one hand, and catnip in the other, Rog- er departed Gales Ferry determined to prove to the world that, although pusses do not like the water, they are still capable of going down to the sea in ships. Shortly after reporting aboard the BAY STATE he found that boggers could be much more antagonistic than anything he had ever encountered in the canine set, but after learning to grin and bear it, this problem soon diminished considerablv and Roger turned into a well adjusted middie, if there is such a thing. Develop- ment of his ability to sling a line was proven by near- ly skyrocketing an unknown folk group to success in a San Francisco recording studio. Except for one smoky experience in the shaft alleys, Roger has shown all the makings of a fine engineer. This, plus his uncanny ability to pack up his ti-oubles in his old kit bag, will send him far down the road to many successes we wish for him. The best to a loyal classmate and a warm friend. 63 64 SECTION THREE Miante, Dunphy, Rudinsky, Walsh, Mr. Pratt, Caia, Mr. Hemmerly, Cass, Manning. GOOD!!! Thus was heard the famous cry of Hank-a- tron. Watch Ill ' s noble leader. Under the guidance of Cdr. Hemmerly and Lcdr. Pratt, our watch has again emerged victorious: this time with the distinction of having to our credit twice as many demerits as any other Watch. Following our fearless Cadet Officers Peaches and Como Se de MUle, who managed to do more work than the rest of the watch put together, we accom- plished absolutely NOTHING, which seems to be our tradition. On many of our days aboard ship, we were thrilled to spine-tingling tales about the wilds of Arizo- na narrated by our expert Barnaby Manning. Barn- aby, who started out as a Forestry major at Arizona State College, somehow or other, while on a woodland patrol, stumbled aboard the BAY STATE on that fate- ful July morning. To Combat Barnaby ' s tales of the wooly west we had Jo-Jo Rudinsky. Jo-Jo, who hails from South Boston (or is it South Africa??) proved to be the one man in the group able to outdo him in stretching the imagination about anything. Several other Watch III notables include Como Se de Mille, whose first run showing of cruise movies nearly caused an international incident and showed us all how much he and Wally, who surely didn ' t under- stand the whole upside-down affair are just friends. Then we are proud to claim the Connois- seur, noted for his diversified talents in everything ranging to action on a Panamanian Rifle Range to in- venting gourmet masterpieces on the mess deck and all to the accompaniment of the Haaarley Show. We owe a debt of gratitude to out laundry represen- tative Barfly Walsh for the whiteness of our skivies. Barfly, who always could be found standing in a pud- dle of sweat, did, however, try to get his job done for everyone ' s benefit. Also a member of Our Gang was Mad-dog, Weston ' s answer to Al Capone. He was frequently noticed squirming about in a long Caddie courting the female population of Buzzard ' s Bay . . . Peaches and cream. Peaches and Cream, we are the boys of the Bunny ' s team ... This was the war-cry of Peaches Dunphy, star soccer player and just as outstanding on the soccer field as in the New Yorker; this we discovered on many a dark night on the cruises. SURELY, we could not close without announcing our HONORary Watch III member: . . inducted for his sincere interest and aid toward three of our charter members, Jerry, Paul, and Bob wish to present Wally with a roll of fibn, a gin fizz and a lost MMA class ring along with a large cigar ... Well, we all wish Mr. Hemmerly and Mr. Pratt lots of luck with next year ' s Watch as we know there will never be another like us.

All Star Soccer Circle K Club Ring Committee Night Riders Whofah Team JOHN PHILIP DUNPHY BAY ROAD EASTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS Early one clear July morning, a white form was ob- served clinging to a motorcycle, holding a half-inflated soccer ball and walking papers from three other insti- tutions of higher learning. This was the academy ' s first look at England ' s answer to the poor soul. After a few days here, Phil ' s military knowledge, gained at Kings ' Point, began to show. His only obsta- cles to greatness were his inability to read a watch when it came time to return from Uberty and his desire to eat after taps in the cadet officer ' s office. Phil ' s ability to maintain absolute silence for long periods of time and his complacent attitude made him a perfect candidate for Hank ' s Watch Three Happv Valley. After receiving the two stripes in Watch Three, he carried on the enjovable tradition of the watch. Phil ' s leadership abilities are not to be denied, and. as a three-year member of the soccer team, he was elected co-captain in his senior year. Although he mav have been the receiver of many a playful punch, his even disposition and easy-going at- titude will bring him success in his chosen field. Best of luck to a fine classmate and friend. 66 Como Cadet Ensign Propeller Club Rifle Club Newman Club e Cin Roble Circle K Club Muster Staff Honor Guard Drill Team La, la, la-la!! Thus with a little jig, straight from Boston Latin (or was it English), Como began his youngie year. Adept in the use of the typewriter, Como Se ' became well liked among the upper jobs as the season for doing Blue Book questions rolled around. Chickadee, however, still monopolized most of his time. After a long year as a more than adequate tool, he was ready to begin his engineering career. Spending a leisurely year helping engineering officers whenever possible, and missing the weekly sessions of Kangaroo Court others were so faithfully attending, Como was ready to pass into his final year. GERALD PETER MIANTE 404 BARKER STREET WEST ROXBURY, MASSACHUSETTS Upon turning upper job and one-striper in Watch III, Como began displaying his many talents. As produc- tion engineer and operator of the cruise film Just Friends, he received quite a shock when a represen- tative from God ' s Country appeared. In spite of initial failure, the film went on to be a real favorite for re- viving old friends when bored. Whether it ' s Navy or Merchies, we know Como will do well and work hard to achieve his goal in life. 67 Mad Dog Propeller Club Newman Club Centurv Club Night Riders (Ret.) Cross Country, Mgr. Muster Staff ROBERT VINCENT CAIA 53 DRABBINGTON WAY WESTON, MASSACHUSETTS MMA is proud to claim the world ' s sole fugitive from the famed Early Bird of the old familiar adage. Bob set out from Weston soon atter high sctiool gradu- ation, and, despite his slow ' crawl, ' arrived here in time to begin his ' illushtrioush ' career in the Merchant Marine. During our first year, he showed himself to be different since his lanyard bore not a knife but the prized possession of some mad dog. ' All through his stay Bob was troubled by insomnia, but he found com- fort in fresh-air drives to ' sit ' with friends in East Bridgewater. His activities of notable mention include healthful late- evening jaunts around the parking lot (in the snow), and scouting local talent in Buzzard Bay ' s Funland. With his ' driving ' experience and dazshling elocution, Bob is sure to find a rewarding future in or out of the Maritime Service. 68 PAUL BRENDAN CASS 43 ROCKNE AVENUE DORCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS Heyyy! Change the channel!! With this now infamous quotation, accompanied by his trusty T.V. guide, Paul entered the Bay State Home for httle Wanderers on that fateful morning of 23 July 1962. Paul spent a quiet two years here before we realized his true wants in hfe. After we turned Upper Job, we saw that his basic love lay in the T.V. set at 0700 every morning as the Three Stooges came on. Since then, other then showing his capabilities as a first rate engineer, Paul has brought to us such inova- tions as the garbage sangie which consists of almost Jack Band Cross Country Rifle Team Propeller Club Century Club Night Riders Gourmet Club any thing that will fit between two slices of bread, and the slumber club which consists of anything that wiU fit between two sheets! In addition, Paul has proven himself worthy of out- standing membership in the Century Club, being the only one in the class to acquire a taste for ginger ale in Trinidad. Surelv he won ' t make the same mis- take again. Best of luck in the future, Paul. We surely hope you reach your goal. 69 One warm Fall day, a horse and buggy took Tim from the farming community of Easton to the bright lights and gay college Ufe of MMA. With his many tales of Arizona and lustful days in the old west, he was the envy of all. His first two years were a continual battle with the Bouncing Ball and El Senor, but with his farm- yard background and his education at the Crossroads, he overcame them with ease. Quick to fight but hard to please. Small in stature but big in ideas I ' m sure Tim will succeed throughout the years. 70 Joe-Joe Gourmet Club Propeller Club Archeolog - Club Rifle Team Weight Lifting Team JOSEPH CHARLES RUDINSKY 611 EAST SEVENTH STREET SOUTH BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS Once again South Boston sends us one of its dark horse candidates for enrollment at M.M.A. Rudi made himself right at home, and what the school didn ' t pro- vide he asked Frank for. Rudi became quite friendly with the 1-50 list and had to move his base of opera- tions to the Cape and cities farther south. During this time Rudi made many aquaintances and he still has a dark spot in his heart for some of them. Rudi never failed to take every advantage, on the cruise, to see for himself the old ruins. In every port, he spent the day at the historic spots, and at night after liberty he would share his experiences with us. We are sure that in the future Rudi will find new ruins to explore and be very successful shipping. Bart Newman Club Propeller Club Muster Staff Laundry I.R.A. ! BARTHOLOMEW TIMOTHY WALSH 424 BOWDOIN STREET BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS Out of Southy, from O ' Donnell ' s Irish Palace came MMA ' s own live Leprechaun. Being turned down by the I.R.A., for not having ankles, Bart decided to start his own company here at MMA. The meetings were often held in the laundry, where we would all gather to sing and sip our Irish tea. (Under the direction of Lt. Dorsey). Though his powers as a Leprechaun weren ' t too strong, he often did little tricks like turning our whites different colors, such as grey or brown, and his disap- pearing act when report sheet was mentioned. Bart ' s jovial personality, Sweat, Hard Work, Perspiration, and good humor has won the admira- tion of all his classmates, and all of us want to wish Bart good luck in the future. 72 Now hear this, first call to Maintenance Formation! So starts another day of work aboard the Bav State and the slow migration of Section IV upper jobs, from their bunks to formation, is commenced. Although this is a long and tiresome journey, eventual- ly the pride of the evaps. began to arrive on the quar- ter deck. UsuaUy the first to arrive is Lennis the Lov- er, who has done amazing feats on the track team. He seems to have the uncanny ability to run on al- most any given day (during the summer) around Tay- lors Point, and come back refreshed. Next to arrive is Jumpin ' Jack, whose Commando tactics, picked up in the Air Force, allowed him to evade capture until shortly before graduation — when the class barber took a cUpping himself. Arriving next on the scene will probably be Georgie who, equipped with his wrench and vast knowledge of engineering, is ready to tangle with any job. Next to arrive is Section IV ' s an- swer to science, Dan Yackatan Scanlon, whose un- hmited knowledge of foreign languages and unprece- dented ability to reproduce food within himself (even out of sunlight) has confused and amazed scientists throughout the world. Next come the Cadet Ensigns of this organized body of men. Carl the musician Coffin, being the first of the two to arrive, looks a great deal like grandma Moses after she fell off her rocking chair and broke her back. Close behind Carl is the other one-striper, John the driver Ward, whose praises for driver safety have been heard in ev- ery court room from Wareham to Winchester. Finally arriving on the scene is Big Bill Russell, our illus- trious two-striper. During his stay at M.M.A., BUI made many trips to Vermont and came back with star- ry eyes and empty pockets, much to the displeasure of a B.C. co-ed. We will always remember BUI for the Russell Home and CocktaU Lounge for Little Wan- derers. Now that the watch is mustered upon the scene, the section IV Guiding Lights arrive, — Charle The Jolly Green Giant Maynard, Bill Hendy, and the star of the Mr. Clean Trio — Bing Crosby. To these three men we extend our thanks for contending with such a seasoned group of shirkers, and for giving us our grin and bear it attitude. 73 Bill Cadet Lieutenant S.G.A. Soccer Team, Co-raptain Baseball Golf Shellback Circle K Club Propeller Club Muster Staff Unholy Alliance WILLIAM EDWARD RUSSEL 18 PARK VIEW DRIVE HINGHAM, MASSACHUSETTS From the portals of Hingham High came Big Bill Russell, determined to put his name in lights as the athletic director of the class of 65. He was unable to extend his own ideas during the first two years at the gulch; however, he managed to partic- ipate in soccer and baseball with great success. As a result of being in the right place at the right time continually, he received the two stripes, which he doesn ' t let anyone forget, particularly the underclass- men. He could always be heard giving orders in his quiet, unassuming manner with all cheerfulness, no matter what the situation. Bill drove forward with his ideas to make the Class of 65 athletically inclined. He was chosen co-captain of the soccer team and had a very successful season al- though unable to convince his classmates that it was the sport to plav.

These words were mumbled . . . er spoken on July 23, 1962 as Hing- ham ' s representative to The M.M.A. Home For Lit- tle W anderers came over the gangway for the first time. Accustomed to sea life as George was, he had no trou- ble in making the adjustments to the Bay State and soon he was right at home. In addition to being a competent seaman with either steam or sail, George also has a fine sense of humor and can ' t help but be successful in whatever field he chooses. 78 When the O.W. first sighted this young man swagger- ing through the gate of M.M.A., dressed in a black leather jacket and boots, he figured that this youth had lost his way to a gang fight and was seeking refiige for the night. Lenny ' s first year went by without a hitch, as he had a few connections in the class of upper jobs. But smooth saiUng was soon tn he disrupted by a certain hurricane Priscilla. Undoubtedly, everyone will re- member the twenty-nine cent ring affair, which gave us all quite a jolt. With his quiet, sincere way, and excellent engineering aptitude, we are sure Lenny will go a long way up the ladder of success. 79 Dan Baseball Phi-Beta 1-50 The Gorge Newman Club Propeller Club Muster Staff Weight Lifting Club The 1 E Turbines Watch IV Old Guard DANIEL JOSEPH SCANLON 26 CHESTER STREET LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS On a ' dweary ' day in July, 1962, ' Wowell ' sent their Ambassador of Good Humor to M.M.A. During his first year, youngie Dan was always ready to provide a needed tool for any upper job, and was rewarded for his distinguished service by being able to wear service dress blues to the Equador Crossing Ceremonies. After a tedious 30 second decision, Ole ' D.J. found himself berthed in the engineer compartment for the remainder of his academy life. However, with crescent wrench and paint brush in hand. Scans disappeared into the depths of the shaft alley for the major portion of his time. Dan ' s unlimited ambassadorial abilities were witnessed during his upper job cruise when the international word yakatan acquired its true meaning in Curacao. We also recall ole ' Scans in Barbados as he stood, with one foot on the pier and the other on the rapidlv departing Uberty launch, conveying his departing senti- ments to a friendlv islander. After Slippery Scans, the notorious sweating gam- bler, was brought to justice, Dan settled down to some earnest license studving. With Dan ' s qualifying engineering abiUty and his devoted efforts, he is sure to find his well earned suc- cess. The Best to a good friend and apt engineer. 80 IN KEEPING with the mode of maritime education and training that this Academy is devoted to, the midshipmen are exposed to all facets of maritime knowledge that they are required to achieve in order to be called United States Merchant Marine Officers. This accimiulation of knowledge cannot be throughlv acquired in the classroom alone; therefore, the academies training ships (RANGER, NANTUCKET, CHARLESTON and at present BAY STATE) have embarked on annual training cruises for the pur- pose- of putting into practice the theoretical work done in the engineering and deck de- partments at the Academy. ALSO, on these cruises there is much knowledge acquired in the ports visited. The study of the people and their language, their mode of living, their economic standards and historical places of interest, are all very broadening to the intellect. the water at better than 12 knots. And they said it couldn ' t be done! It seemed that as the sun went down, the sea came up. And soon we were rolling back and forth like a tov boat in a bathtub. There must have been a direct ratio between the roughness of the sea and the number of mid- dies standing over the Mississippi in the youngie heads. But everything came out all right, and soon we were used to the feeling of being tossed about bv the waves. Cruise 63 ' January 7, 1963, and the beginning of our first cruise, marked an important milestone in our careers as youn- gies aboard the Bay State. With the droning of the en- gines warming up for the first leg of our 12,000 mile trip, we bade farewell to friends and relatives on the dock, and the Bay State headed South toward warm weather. There were sly grins on the faces of all the mid- dies as the chunks of ice floated by. We hoped that would be the last time we ' d see any ice for a long time to come. It was hard to believe, at first, that what we had known as home for the past six months, was now plowing thru Our first four days at sea finally did go by, and on the morning of 11 January, we anchored near Rawls Bros. Shipyard in Jacksonville, Fla. where we were to spend the next week and a half undergoing annual repairs. On hberty in Jax, we were treated to tours, dances, or just watching T.V. by the U.S.O. For those who preferred a little more couth and culture, the Canary Bar provided just that. The repairs completed, and the Bay State ready to go again, we left Jacksonville and its smelly St. John ' s Riv- er, and set sail for San Juan. 81 San Juan was our first foreign port, and we were thor- oughly reminded to stay out of bars, trouble, and houses of . . .! This was good advice which we strictly adherred to from liberty formation until the foot of the gangway! While in San Juan, the middies were invited to a cocktail party given by the Mayor for Joe Louis. Soon, after the party started, many middies were flowing as freely as the Uquor, but they served their penance when they woke up the next morning. Now, with a ten day run ahead of us, we left San Juan en route to Bahia San Salvador, Brazil. After a few days at sea, we were almost on top of the equator. For those • who didn ' t realize this, it was soon made evident to all bv the appearance of King Neptune himself. We found that because none of the second jobs or voungies had ever been across the equator, and were therefore termed Pol- lywogs, there would soon be a ceremony performed bv the upper jobs, who were all Shellbacks, upon us less fortunates. And it was! Bahia turned out to be one of the hottest ports of the cruise. Both weather — and otherwise. It didn ' t take long to discover the Scissors Club and other like establish- ments. Also, at night, the British Club put on dances for each watch. We had no trouble communicating with the Brazilians due to our mastery of the Spanish language. Gift shops were numerous here, and it wasn ' t long before our lockers were bursting with souvenirs for the people back home. Leaving Bahia, the Bay State headed still further South for Montevideo, Uraguay. Montevideo is the largest city in Uraguay and has a population of over 3,000,000 peo- ple. We arrived on the 18th of February and waited for the pilot to take us in to the dock. Businessmen and mer- chants awaited us after liberty formation, and drove us to various leather goods markets where they hoped we would spend our money on pocketbooks and clothes of unborn calf skin, but not much money was spent at all. 82 A tour of Montevideo was well worth the time and money, as there were many beautiful old buildings and parks to see. We all wished we had planned to stay longer in the old city, but three short days after our arrival, we were again at sea bound for Rio. We reached Rio just in time to join in the festivities that take place before ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Carnival time in Rio is much like the celebrating at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The streets were full of dancing natives (and of course, middies) from early evening tUl dawn. Also in Rio is the famous Copacabana Beach, and Sugar Loaf Mt. which must be seen to be really appreciated. Our week in Rio won ' t be forgotten in a hurry, and there isn ' t one of us who wouldn ' t love to return for a few days in the years to come, and relive at least one more Carnival. The U.S. Naval Station at Trinidad was our last port of the cruise, and it was great to eat real american food for the first time in almost three months. The E. M. Club on the base provided the necessary ingredients to quench our thirst. By this time we were all looking forward to our re- turn home, but this was delayed a few days due to boiler trouble. At last we were at sea for the last time of the cruise, and Mother Nature saw to it that we wouldn ' t forget those last six days between Trinidad and Bu2zards Bay. But by then we were experienced saUors, and Moth- er Nature would have to wait till next year to get us. The Cape Cod Canal never looked so good as we tied up at the State Pier at the Academy, amid the cheers of hundreds of waiting loved ones. 83 Cruise 64 It didn ' t take long for cruise time to roll around again, and before we knew it, it was 7 January again, and we were leaving on our second cruise. This cruise was looked forward to with eagerness, since now there were new youngies to sort the laundry and do all the dirty work. Our hrst stop was, once again, Jacksonville, Florida. This was more or less a repeat of our first cruise, but we managed to bear the boredom of Jacksonville by returning to the Canary and other well known spots throughout the city. Soon, the drydock period was over, and we headed out to sea for Panama, our first foreign port of the cruise. We docked at the Naval Station in Balboa after spending about nine hours passing through the 50 mile long Pana- ma Canal. The thrill of being raised and lowered in the locks of the canal is something that just can ' t be described very easily. Because of the trouble they were having in the city of Pa- nama at the time, the middies were prohibited from leaving the Canal Zone, which includes 5 miles on either side of the canal. The facilities of the base were open to us however, so there was plenty to do and see. This was only the first of two stops we were to make in Panama, so anything that was missed the first time was not over- looked on our return trip through the canal. Upon leaving Panama, and dumping both stacks full of soot and black smoke on the Navy, we passed under the New bridge and headed out into the Pacific. 85 The Pacific Ocean certainly earned its name, as we had days and days of perfectly smooth sailing before we an- chored off of Acapulco, Mexico. Because of having to an- chor about a mile off shore, it was necessary to use the li- berty launch to go ashore. A typical tourist trap, Acapul- co was overflowing with gift shops and sidewalk market- places in which to spend much time and money in pur- suit of souvenirs and gifts for those at home. You can bet that when the Bay State pulled up her anchor to set sail Leg muscles got a workout walking up and down those San Francisco hills, but it was well worth the money spent on Ben-Gay to see all the places we had heard about all our lives. Most expensive, was Ed ' s Place where a lot of middies got taken for a load. Our stay in Frisco was ended after almost a week in the great city. We then started the second half of the cruise by turning around and heading South again. Right away, we stopped in San Diego for a four day stay. This was a for San Francisco, she was about three inches lower in the water with the weight of 500 sombreros, blankets, straw bags, serapes, etc. Six days after leaving Acapulco, we sighted the Golden Gate Bridge across the entrance to San Francisco Bay. As the cameras cUcked and whined, we came upon another well known landmark. Alcatraz Island, the location of the federal penitentiarv. Alcatraz is now closed, but is still a gloomy monument to those who have hved and died there. 86 typical Navy town, and nobody minded when the Bay State pulled in her lines and began a ten day run back to Panama. The second stop in Panama was much the same as the first, with a few curious middies venturing over the line into Panama City. But after four more days of swimming, sunning, and, of course, drinking milk shakes the ship passed through the Canal once more and was soon back in the Atlantic. Our next port was Galveston, Texas. There, we were giv- en the opportunity to visit the world ' s only nuclear mer- chant stiip, the N.S. Savannah, which was docked in Gal- veston at the time. St. Patrick ' s Dav was celebrated in true middle fashion in Galveston, as we drank green beer and ate green sand- wiches. Also we were treated to a tour through the Fal- staff Brewery, after which we were allowed to try out as professional brew tasters. But with St. Patrick ' s Day behind us, we were soon on our way to West Palm Beach, Florida. We stayed there for only three days, but that was enough to give everyone a chance to drop down to Fort Lauderdale or Miami just to say they had been there. Finally, leaving Palm Beach, and all the warm weather behind us, we set sail for our last port of the cruise . . . Boston, Mass., where we were once again greeted by friends and relatives whom we hadn ' t seen since early in January. 87 turned out, if vou were among the lucky few to bum a ride into town, you had it made. But those five miles into town could be pretty long if you had to walk them. The 203 Tavern was the delight of every middle. There was a better attendance there than at a check muster on board, and none of us will forget the hospitality shown to us by Les, Maggie, and of course Chicken Sam and Willie Lump Lump. But, like all good things, Baltimore and the 203 had to come to an end. as the Bay State sailed out of Chesa- Cruise 65 ' January 5, 1965 was the day we had been waiting for since we first entered the Academy. The begining of our upper-job cruise! The deck chairs, bicyc les, and reading material had all been loaded on board weeks before in anticipation of our last, and most relaxing cruise. Once the lines were cast off at the Gulch, every upper-job bunk was filled . . . and was to stay that wav for the next two and a half months. We went to Baltimore Md. for dry-dock this time. Nothing could be any worse than Jacksonville, so we were eager to see what Baltimore had to offer. As it peake Bav en route to Curacao, a small island in the Netherlands Antilles. There, we were greeted by another brewerv, however preference was shown toward the Cam- po Allegro, or Happy Valley, where many baskets of fruit were left behind. Curacao was another touiist trap, and had many shops in which to pick up souvenirs. Another feature of the island was the pontoon bridge which swung across the canal. Our next port of call was another tiny island, this time in the British West Indies, by the name of Barbados. Here, the highlights included Harry ' s Nighterv, The New 88 Yorker. and The Accra Beach Club. Good weather made our stay in Barbados a happy one. and with sad hearts we raised the anchor, made plans for our re-invasion of Trinidad. What we didn ' t destroy two years previous, we would this time. Once again, the E.M. Club loomed as the most inviting place to spend an afternoon and evening. After Joe-Joe celebrated his birthday by giving the swab jockies at the E.M.C. some extra duty, we wondered if we ' d be welcome back. We probably weren ' t, but they were polite enough not to tell us. Trinidad was also the scene of the now famous Heeyyyy — Surely debates which, by the way, ended up with the Heeyyy team winning, one-hundred to zero! Departure day was almost held up again due to leaky boiler tubes, but thanks to Father Fred and his Tube Pluggers Local, we were able to leave on time and visit the last foreign port of the cruise. Barranquilla, Colombia was starting its Carnival celebra- tions, and the middies were invited to a gala festival hon- oring the occasion. It was on the bus going back to the ship that we learned what an unholy terror our little lead- er of Watch One was. With teeth flashing and fists flying he succeeded in nearly wrecking the bus along with a certain O.H. Battalion Commander Jr. Also, this quiet little haven was the scene of the Great Hoax in which two of our most Romeoic middies were in- vited out by two very charming young ladies, and left a twenty dollar tip to show their gratitude. One of them admitted he got fished in, but the other insists he was not. Not to be forgotten were the many CORE (Cans of Ravioli from Everyone) Packages that were sent ashore in Barran- 89 Brownsville was the next porl for us to wear out our wel- come. Most of the liberty time was spent in Matamoras, Mexico, just over the border from Texas. There, we bought most of the souvenirs that were to be brought back to the States. With only Miami, Florida, left for us between Texas and Boston, we were all eager to leave Brownsville, and get to Miami as soon as possible. There, we were greeted bv a two mile walk into town (and back), and plenty of re- fueling stations in which to quench our never dying quilla in return for rotten alligators and cigarette holder s which held together almost all the way to Brownsville. It was on the way to Brownsville that the notorious gam- bling ring aboard the Bav State was uncovered bv Detec- tive James Bondlaw, otherwise known as Secret Agent 0086. Due to Agent Bondlaw s brilliant work, the ring, which gix)sse(l over $0.07 per cruise, was broken up, and law and order was once again restored, with Slippery Scans, Coniving Carl. Riverboat Ron. Shady Sullv, and Casino Czerns being relieved of the work involved in get- ting readv for the Brownsville liberty formations. thirsts. Once again, the weather was fine, and we got a chance to get our final tans before returning to our snowy hometowns, a week later. The last run up to Boston was cut short bv a dav. allow- ing many of us to celebrate St. Patty ' s Dav in stvle. What we didn ' t know about how to celebrate, was fully explained and shown to us by St. Bartly, our little green mascot of 1-E! But the best feeling, was the fact that the next time we ' d set sail for any port of call, we ' d be standing in the pay line when it was over! 90 A MAJOR ASSET to the spirit and loyalty of the men of any Maritime Academy, is the participation of its midshipmen in inter-coUegiate sports. In the past few years, this spirit has rapidly multiplied among the men of this Academy, and the teams produced through hard and rugged training have acquired an outstanding reputation for sports- manship among collegiate circles. TRULY, anyone who is willing to devote portions of his Umited valuable time to the participation in Academy sports, regardless of limited facilities, deserves an ovation. OTHER resources of the Academy spirit, are the various social functions held an nual- ly. For not only are they a diversion from the hectic routine of Academy living, but they are also a means whereby social circles become aware of the outstanding charac- ter of men produced by the Academy. RING DANCE 1965 The ring ceremony is actually a marriage. It is the marriage of the young man to the sea. The symbol of this union is the ring which is dipped into the waters of the Seven Seas which are contained in the mariner ' s binnacle. The use of the binnacle, which is the compass housing, symboUzes a true course throughout the young man ' s career. The presence of a woman in the ceremony identifies him with the loved ones ashore, waiting for their man to return from the sea. 91 DANCE COMMITTEE The Social functions of the Academy consist of the An- nual Ring Dance, The Spring Dance and the First Class Dinner Dance, as well as exclusive invitations to various social events held on the cruises, and the Annual Lobster Festival. It is the responsibility of the Dance Committee to schedule and organize these functions. This devoted task of the committee often goes unnoticed by the corps, but a sincere vote of congratulations for a job well done is extended by all those who attend these functions. This year the committee found themselves against a wall, as the Academys great ring, used as the center-piece at the Ring Dance, was lost in a fire. However, through the untiring efforts of Mr. Charles J. Rudinsky, we were able to obtain a new, molded fiberglass ring. PROGRAM V Annual Lobster Festival Marshfield, Mass.

It is during this festivity that the envied ring of the graduate unites its owner to the sea. The heri- tage of this unique ceremony has been passed down from vear to vear by the many classes graduating from M.M.A., and is the highlight of the Academic year. Dur- ing the course of the evening, a precision exhibition of the Mannual of Arms is displayed by the second class Honor Guard honoring the various dignitaries present. We who attend wish to applaud the Dance Committee for their exceptional success resulting from tidious hours of preparation. A special note of appreciation is also extended to Mr. Charles J. Rudinsky. Through his devoted labor, a new centerpiece ring was acquired. CIRCLE-K CLUB The Circle K club of Mass. Maritime is an organization dedicated to development of the character and morale of the men of the academy. With the assistance of the Bourne Kiwanis, we have expand- ed our club to twenty-five members, and have been active participants in their weekly meetings, as well as our own. Constantly the Circle K Qub is alert to assist any worthwhile cause of the community or the Academy. Members of this organization will graduate with perserver- ance instilled within their minds, which will lead them to the golden opportunites that the future holds for them.

Evans 94 RING COMMITTEE MEMBERS Phil Dunphy Walt Czernev Ted Paige Bill Russell One of the major characteristics which distinguish the first class midshipmen from the under classmen, is the wearing of a class ring. This is tlie official ring of the Academy and is worn proudly in every corner of the globe as a common bond between M.M.A. graduates. The first ring was designed by the executive officer of the schoolship Nantucket; and, since that time, has remained basically the same. Any minor alterations, or additions have been accomplished through the careful wisdom of the various ring committees from year to year. This ring is a lasting symbol to the graduate, of the position he has attained and the knowledge of the sea which is his. Looking closely at it, a little thought brings to light the comprehensiveness of its design. At the very base of the ring on either side are seen markings representing waves. Above the waves on one side is an anchor, symbol of the deckmen, and on the opposite side is a propeller, badge of the engineers. Flanking the Massachusetts State Seal on one side and the M.M.A. shield on the other, is the Trident of the sea-god Neptune and the sword of Authoritv. Above the State seal and the M.M.A. shield and under the pro- tective wings of the American eagle, are dolphins, repre- senting great activity and excellent performance, while around the aqua-marine stone, on the top of the ring, is the name of the Academy and the chain that binds all graduates together in brotherhood — the chain of Everlasting Fellowship. 95 RIFLE CLUB The Rifle Team of Massachusetts Maritime Acadcmv was estabhshed a few years ago. In 1963, the tt Th was for- tunate to obtain firing facilities on board the Academy training ship, bullet traps, and six new Winchester 52-D target rifles. For the procurement of this equijjment, wc wish to thank Commander John M. Cease, who was the teams first coach, and was instrumental in establishing the solid foundation of the club. In recent months, the posi- tion of coach has been fulfilled bv Bradford W. Selfe, the ship ' s caipenter. Tlie club has an afliliat lun with the National Rifle Associa- tion, and due to the encouraging interest that has been shown toward the team, it had grown to its present size. Only a few matches have been held thus far, but many contests are planned for the future. RIFLE CLUB 1st ROW: Selfe, Rudnsky, Destremps. Froberg, Lindquist, Miante. O ' Brien. 2nd ROW: Cell. Plezia.

Under the devoted leadership of Rev. Francis Mahoncy, our club chaplain, we are kept well informed on the major events of our time; in regard to common topics as wdJ as religious subjects. The club has the honor of having a number of guest speakers attend various meetings to discuss topics of major interest to everyone.

Morning formations have been sparked with tal- ented instrumental portrayals; and, under the leader- ship of Commander Cease and band master Carl Coffin, the band has outdone past performances. Overwhelming approval has been granted, even from the upper echelon, and we find this satisfving to our thirst for achievement. As a sidelight, the Massachusetts Maritime Academy Band has held concerts on our annual training cruises. These concerts have been held specifically for the benefit of evervone on board — to lighten their feelings and heighten their spirits while at sea. We hope that future classes will strive to equal and surpass our rigid standards and merits. ACADEMY COLOR GUARD HONOR GUARD HONOR GUARD 65 - B.M. - Saunders R.C., M.C. Glamery, Czerne y, Mushet.

This is the fate of the Honor Guard; but, I doubt if any of the ten members of the squad, comprised of second classmen, thought that it wasn ' t well worth the satisfaction gained by being able to per- form as a precision miUtary unit. Although the primary display of the Honor Guard ' s ability is shown at the Annual Ring Dance, they find themselves preforming during the cruise, at various dedications, and for visiting dignitaries. It is truly a privilege to be selected a member of this exclusive unit, for it takes coordination, skill, sincere sacrifice and ability to obey instantly.

Under the capable hands of our new coach, Mr. Walter Eno, the team was put through a stren- uous pace of training, which Mr. Eno carefully observed and instructed. Ably assisting the coach were the co-captains Bill Russell and Phil Dun- phy, along with head manager George Nott — all veterans of the sport since its initiation at the Academy, three years ago. Russell and Dunphy led the team in daily cal- isthenics and practice, barring none from the ritu- al. Come rain or shine, the Mariners were out on the sports field putting their best efforts toward maintaining the Academy ' s fine sportsman tradi tions. Practice and constant workouts do not totally make a team, but working under pressure on the playing field, against the mightiest of opponents, will always bring out the quaUties of the best. The Mariners proved to be a constant threat to anv team. No one will forget the grudge game played, at the Academy, against Currv College. After troubling to procure strict referees and to follow definite league standards, the Mariners — as last season — went on to a glorious victory over the boys of Currv. Spirit is a partner of any team. The Mariners dis- played their spirit, both at the away games (where the cheering section consisted of those midship- men who could be present), and at the home games and league games (where the Academy could be proud of the turnout of supporting midshipmen). There is nothing so inspiring to hear as the men of the Academy cheering the 102 SOCCER team toward victory, while at the same time con- versing in middie language with the opponents. Sign language has its points. The height of this years season came during the league playoffs, with a three-way tie for first-place between Stonehill College, New Bedford Tech. and Mass. Maritime Academy. During the first playoff game, after a heated three quarters, Stonehill was ahead of the Mariners 3-0, but the fighting spirit of M.M.A. manffested itself in the last quarter. The final score — 4-3, in fa- vor of the Mariners. Coach Walter Eno talks with Co-capiauLs Bill Hinsell and Phil Dunphy as head manager George Nott looks on. The Stonehill game put the Mariners in second place in the Southern Division of the Colonial In- ter-Collegiate Soccer League, but the title of League Champions was denied the Mariners due to a sad 1-0 loss to New Bedford Tech. Next season, the Mariners are determined to walk away with the league trophy and, if the team skill, power and spirit continue — we know that they will achieve their well earned title of champions. Coach Eno discusses tactics with the starling sifiiad. 103 PULLING BOAT TEAM 1965 Team: Driscoll, Kopkac, Samoulchuck, Curran, Fellows. Sullivan. ROW 3: Evans, Culbert. Nelson, Montembault. Br own T.

The Pulling Boat Team of Massachusetts Ma- ritime Academy is a rigorously trained, syn- cronized unit composed of Second and Third Classmen who are willing to devote the major portion of their free time to this competitive Maritime sport, to which they are so readily adapted. This year, under the skilled training of Lt. F. L. Dixon Yard, the team was in utmost readi- ness for competition. This readiness was ac- comphshed by morning and afternoon training, as well as a through calisthenical program. Their skill was first evidenced in their winning third place in competition against the other Eastern Maritime Academies on May 15, Long Island Sound. On National Maritime Day May 22, the high- light of the season came during competition against the Maine Maritime, New York Mari- time, Texas Maritime and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academies in a race which was held on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. The M.M.A. team was first at the finish-hne of this distinctive race, covering a one-mile course, after 12 min. 9 sec, by four boat lengths; thus claiming the title of National PulUng Boat Champions. )uring the same week, the team was chal- ;nged by the Oslo Fjord team of Norwav, in- ernational title holders for 12 vears. Much to Ke pride of M.M..4. , our team came in ahead f the Oslo Fjord team by two boat lengths. First Team: Humphreys. Brown R.C.. Nelson. Kennv. Maitland. Fellows. Kopkac Brown T. H.

The second major sport at the Academy is cross-coun- try racing, having taken over the position as second as the baseball team was dropped, this season, due to lack of available training time. Participation in cross-countrv meets, as a member of the M.M.A. team, requires stamina, determination, rugged training and a constant will to win. Our season was cut short, this year, due to insufficient time and poor support; but, our rigorously trained team, sparked by the excellent running of co-captains Jim Dainis and Tony Felos, was in top physical condition. Our meets have included such colleges as Maine Maritime Acade- my, Connecticut College, New York State Maritime Academy, Providence College, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Next season we hope to havf more opportunities to show the fighting spirit of M.M.A., as our team is always in demand on the schedules of rival colleges.

THERE COMES A TIME in the life of every young man when he must shed the ties of his childhood home and seek his position in the world. The major step in seeking his vocation is the one into college life. EVERY YEAR a select group of young men are enrolled at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, and every year an even more select group of men graduate; taking with them a Bachelors Degree in Nautical Science or Marine Engineering, a license as a U.S. Merchant Marine Officer, a commission as Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve, and last- ing memories of the days spent at M.M.A. THIS GOAL requires sacrifice, hard work, earnest study and military training; how- ever, as a graduate recalls his years spent at the Academy, he recollects many memories which onlv he can relate. On the following pages are a few of the events and organi- zations that form these memories.

The next morning, it was noticed that during the night, about 95 squids had washed up onto the pier of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, and were left stranded there when the tide receded. Just as it appeared that all of us squids would perish right there off the pier, we were gathered up, one by one, and taken aboard the training ship BAY STATE where we were to be given food, clothing, and shelter. They didn ' t tell us, at the time, that the food was to be 1943 U.S. Army surplus, the clothing was of superior Hart, Schafifner, and Burlap quahty, and the shelter was to be in the form of deckplate bottoms. However, we soon found this out for ourselves, along with the fact that for all of these services, we would be required to spend the next three years showing our gratitude. With this thought in mind we put on a uniform, and from then on we were referred to indivddually as mid- shipmen, and collectively as The Class of 1965. It was only a few weeks before some of our classmates began to show their gratitude. With a little coaxing from the Heavenly Powers, Names and places, shuns were given, and three upper jobs were released from their three-year obligation. This ultimately led to a four-day Hunger Strike which ended in a triumphant success. It hasn ' t yet been determined exactly what we were trium- phantly successful in doing, but after August of 1962, a few more people realized that there was a maritime acade- my in Buzzard ' s Bay, Mass. It wasn ' t long before we found that deckplate doing, back rubbmg, cigarette givmg, and mid-standing were the least of our worries. Toward the end of September, the mid- term 1-50 hst was posted, showing that 33.3% of our class had been deficient in studies during the past eight weeks. Fortunately, there was a very effective solution to our deficiencies. We were given the opportunity of spending half of our one-week-end-a-month-liberty on board to be extra messcooks, to turn to for four hours a day, and to tool for upper-jobs. In fact, this remedy was so effective that when the Term 1-50 List came out eight weeks later, about a third of us found that our names 109 djaritime Midshipmen Confinue Hunger 7 Cape T Cadets Consume landy and Cake Hunger Strikers Ug r Be Carried WiJdent Hunger Strlk al Both Si es Ma ' E We Made Our Point, ' Mas..Madl,meCadefs Qn HUPger StrikC ,. , , . r 1 ■ Staging Hunger Strike .,„, ,„„„, ...... ' nidsnipmen explain ;s;;!r r;rS Mi; W-™i Hazing Furor May Cloud Academy Graduation Furor Dims x Graduation SI were on it there. This, of course was a tremendous de- crease from the original 33.3% who had made the Mid- term 1-50, which proved to all of us the efficiency of the system that existed. By December about one third of our original classmates found that they would rather have been left to perish on the pier, back in July, and they had left the Academy to try their luck in other fields. Christmas leave period went by all too fast, and before we knew it, we were on our way to South America on our first cruise. The cruise proved to be quite an experi- ence for all of us . . . including green seas which in- duced green faces during the first few days at sea. But all the hot, sweaty, engineroom watches and the rough days at sea were balanced off by the hberty days in the foreign ports, not to mention the bennies from the tropi- cal sun, so we all made it back to Buzzard ' s Bay in March none the worse for wear and much richer in knowledge . . . and demerits. After the cruise, the rest of the year passed quicklv, and soon we became second-jobs. Thus came the permanent split in the class. We were divided into sixteen deckles and thirty one engineers. This niHnber was soon reduced to twelve and twenty nine respectively, where it was to remain for the next two years. Our second-class year found the deckies off to a poor start, providing them with manv extra weekends ... on board. But. all in all. through continuous studying and the never ending efforts on both our part and on the part of our instructors, we proceeded to learn the tricks of the trade along with important engineering and navigational terms such as On it there, Sea stories, Ping movies, You rate it, What-are-you-do-wing? , and Good afternoon gents. Be seated, please. With the inevitable 1-50 list to break up the monotony of going home on weekends, our second year at M.M.A. flew bv and before we knew it, we were upper-jobs. It didn ' t seem possible that just two years earlier we had been as mixed up and confused as the new youngies ap- peared to be. But now, our main objective was to prepare ourselves for the license exams coming up the following June. Without our Ucenses, the three years of studying would be practically useless. So with this in mind, the en- gineers started taking Mr. King and Mr. Osbourne a little more seriously, and the deckies continued studying the philosophies of Mr. Bowditch. Once again, the Term 1-50 reigned over a few of us, but thanks to efforts of our various social organizations, such as the Order of the Night Riders, and the M.M.A. Horizontal Club, the long weekends on board weren ' t shortened, but at least they were made a little more en- joyable. Because of the fact that the 1-50 List c ouldn ' t keep ev- erybody on board Friday afternoons, another means had to be devised. The Captain ' s mast, which was estabhshed many years ago, proved to be just what the powers that be or- derd, because for more than two months after we turned upper-job, no member of our class had made the Wednes- day noon trip to Ship ' s Office. But after the Como- Goldwyn-Meyer Company ' s futile attempt to revive an old friend in the engineer ' s compartment one Sunday night, the path to Ship ' Office became well worn. But with only a matter of months before graduation, we decided to settle down to work, and make it possible for us to all pass our license exams. Boggar 65 ' 111 112 ACADEMY HISTORY Massachusetts Nautical School was established in 1891 by an act of the Massachusetts Legislature and made its first home in the Port of Boston, Mas- sachusetts, with a two year program commencing April 5, 1893. A federal appropriation of $25000 set the school on its feet and the wooden bark rigged steam vessel Enterprise was acquired from the Navy as the first training ship. Since its initia- tion, reputedly the school has set a standard for Merchant Marine Officers, having a greater percent- age of its graduates pursue a nautical career at sea than any other Maritime Academy. The vear 1909 found the Enterprise replaced by the Ranger, which was later renamed the ' ' Rockport that she might serve as a coastal pa- trol vessel during the tirst World War. At the close of the war she reclaimed her status as a training vessel and was christened the Nantucket. During this war, a Massachusetts Nautical School graduate, Capt. Emery Rice — class of 1897, sank the first German U-Boat of the war while he was in command of the transport Mongolia. In the interim years between its founding and the World War, the school was honored many times for excellence in preparing voung men for the Merchant Marine Service. Receiving: a gold medal at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904, a gold medal at the Louis and Clark ex- position in 1905, a silver medal at the James Town Tri-centennial Exposition in 1907 and a gold medal at the Panama Pacific International Exposi- tion in 1915. 1941 brought two significant changes to the Nautical School: The Maritime Commission re- placed the Navy as the Federal Administration agent, and the Schools name was changed to Massachusetts Maritime Academy. With this ac- tion, the campus was moved from its original position in Boston to Hyannis. Here, during the war years, the course was shortened to eighteen months and many of the graduates served in the Merchant Fleet and in the Navy. As the Academy moved into the present era, the program of study was lenghtened to three years and on June 29, 1949, the Academy ' s first Bachelor of Science Degrees were conferred upon the graduates. Also, in this year, the cam- pus was again moved to its present location on the Cape Cod Canal and the gun-boat Charles- ton replaced the Nantucket as the training vessel. ITie U.S.S. Doyen which served in most of the major campaigns of the Pacific during World War II, was taken from the Moth Ball Fleet in 1957 and renamed the Bay State and is now on loan from the Maritime Commission as the Academy ' s Training vessel. By the passage of Senate Bill 868, The Acade- my became a State College in 1964 and the five man Board of Commissioners was liquidated as the Academy came under the direction on the Massachusetts Division of State Colleges. Plans now call for an extensive building pro- gram and an enlarged campus, which, in the near future, will accommodate more than double the present enrollment in a four year program. 113 LEGIONS OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Phi Betta 1-50 n 1 ii iiiiiiiiiiiiMi 114 CLASS LAUNDRY WORKERS Roger Saunders, Bart Walsh, Walt Czerny.

During the past year, with the Academy ' s efforts to- ward full accreditation, our library became well stocked. At present, the library contains 10,000 vol- umes, comprising numerous topics, and is open daily for the benefit of all Midshipmen and Officers. We wish to express our gratitude to Mrs. Sprague, Academy Librarian, for her efforts in organizing and operating our library.

Wishes the graduating class Fair Tides and Fair Winds And a hearty — Well Done What ' s your choice for fast service? If you want the world ' s fastest superliner, choose the ss United States for dependable, regular passenger sailings to Europe. But for record-breaking cargo service to Great Britain and the Continent, look at the new Challeng- ers in the United States Lines ' fleet. Speeds of twenty- one knots or better. Throttle control from the bridge. Two-minute automatic opening for all hatch covers. For Hawaii and the Far East, there are twenty-knot Mariner type vessels, while fast C-2 ' s serve Australia. And, of course. United States Lines ' offices in major cities abroad are ready to work for you there. When it comes to shipping service, think fast. Call us.
