All of which combined to create a way of life. The Muster is the story of this way of life. Some memories last forever, others fade quietly away. If in the years to come, this Muster helps to bring back even one of these memories, it will have ful- filled its purpose.

From its humble beginning with the training ship Enter- prise and then the Nantucket , many men have ventured upon the oceans of the world. During the Second World War, the The Enterprise The Bay State ' I I ) ■The Nantucket school was moved to Hyannis where shoreside facil- ities supplemented sea cruises aboard the American Pilot . This training ship was shared between the three New England State Maritime Academies. 1. I After acquiring the U.S.S. ' ' Charleston in 1948, the academy was moved from Hyannis to its present location. In 1957, the academy re- ceived the U.S.S. Doyens which was rechristened the ' ' Bay State . Since that time, many changes have taken place at the academy, our class a witness to most. 7 If The big day finally came when we moved into the dorms. It was quite a change. After living aboard the Bay State for two years, describing the comfort of the dorms was impossible. Also, Bernie ' s saying Wait ' till I get my gym! had become a reality. With the dorm lounges, tele- visions, and pool tables and Bernie ' s gym we now had a life which was unthinkable when we arrived at the academy. Yes, the academy has really changed. But we ' d like to think that we haven ' t. We the Class of ' 74, the first class to experience all that was new, have something to be proud of, and most of all, something to remember. The academy will continue to grow, but we will not forget the past. For we have had both the old and the new, and owe a lot to each. DEDICATION Throughout our four years at Maritime, we have gone through many changes. The only man who has shared these changes, and survived both them, and us, is Chief Sacht. The Chief was with us all day; from Out of those racks! to Taps . He fulfilled many wide and varied roles; Guidance Counselor, Truant Officer, Alarm Clock, Sanitation Expert, Card Shark, and most important, an understanding friend. It is for this final quality, that we bestow on him the highest honor that a class can: the dedication of our yearbook. So Lt. Commander Sacht, we the Class of ' 74 say ' Thanks, Chief. Oh wrap me in my country ' s flag, and lay me in the cold blue sea And let the roaring of the waves, my solemn requiem be, And I shall sleep a pleasant sleep, while storms above, their vigils keep. My captain brave shall read for me the service of the silent dead and yea shall lower me in the waves when all the prayers are said. And I will find my long lost home, among the billows and the foam. Farewell my friends for many a league, we ' ve sailed together on the deep Come let us shake hands I sail no more, but shipmates therefore weep I ' m bound above my course is run I near the port, my voyage is done. IN MEMORIAM The word shipmate is often used in the profession of the mariner. It means a great deal to a person who is related in this field. A shipmate is a special person you tell your life story to, and no matter how many times you repeat it, he listens. He laughs when you ' re happy and shares your sorrow when you ' re sad. He works with you for a common goal. He lives with you and together you get through the rough times. You can depend on him and trust him, even with your life. Jack Fraher was our shipmate, and we are proud to have sailed with him. As we, the Class of 1974, ven- ture throughout the seas of our lifetime, we will al- ways remember our shipmate and most important friend, J. P. 1 John P. Fraher II 17 . . . a shipmate relationship is a very in- timate and precious bond. Captain McNaughton and President Harrington ilii And so it has come to pass that sixty- nine young men have ended their days of study at the Massachusetts Maritime academy. Society will take little note of the event with news of your commence- ment appearing as little more than a foot- note in the daily newspapers. The signifi- cance of this passing rests simply with sixty-nine reactions to the experiences of four years spent here and sixty-nine life- time attitudes which have been filled to the PlimsoU Line with a cargo of joys, sad- nesses, triumphs, disasters, duties, re- strictions, liberties, uncertainties and re- solutions — all those ingredients essential to life ' s preparation. I trust that the voy- age for all of you has been a predominant- ly pleasant one and that this issue of the Muster will serve as a happy, nostalgic tribute to the past. Hopefully, it will pro- vide in capsule form, a potpourri of mem- orable moments of your academy days. As members of a graduating class from this academy, you are not only classmates, but shipmates as well. You will discover in the years ahead, if you have not already done so, that a shipmate relationship is a very intimate and precious bond. My fervent wish for each of you is that the many friendships formed here will persevere in the years ahead. Your alma mater will be following your careers closely and may you never hesitate to call upon her for any assistance you might need. 2 HEADS OF DEPARTMENT Walter J. Eno James F. Burke Stuart C.

Bob was right at home with his new residence in CoCoComDiv, where his voice could be heard ' til 3 a.m. but his face was never seen before noon. In his later years at school, Robert buckled down to more serious matters; he moved off the Bloom ' s list and onto the Dean ' s list, and then to the President ' s list. Let it be known that Bobby ' s achievements were not only scholastic, but athletic as well. On the lacrosse field he was an animal, a chameleon, because in the spring, through the efforts of our own defensemen, he would turn various colors, mostly black and blue. Bob, we wish you all the luck and happiness in the world on your rapidly approaching wedding day, and in everything else you do because, just like all the rest of us, we think you ' re going to need it.

He was actually going to Onset, but the extension cord ran out. He was immediately seized by the friendly upperjobs, and soon made his nest here. He was noted for many things, but mostly for his beating people with funny sticks, and for his heart to heart talks with Trooper Ryan. After living in a closet for a year with a close friend. Dubby had to get away from it all. So, for our senior cruise, the academy threatened the industry with Dubby, and for agreeing to take him back, the school was rewarded with a new training ship. Dub need not fear deep water, for just like the training cruise, with Gulf, you ' re never out of sight of land.

But within a relatively short time, he skippered CoCoComDiv and became the only cigar smoking, bourbon drinking youngie in Maritime History. The Boggs had a habit of labeling everything he touched, which disturbed a bald navigator, whose rubber parallel rulers had been borrowed by the Boggs. But Richie, The Master of Space and Time, he has that license framed too, will enjoy life at sea whether it be on a tramp steamer or an island ferry. Sailing Squadron Activities fund O.B.

Bushy, World Traveler was what his name tag read. Secret Squirrel found a big, furry friend in the Bear , and thus under went an opera- tion in Sweden and came back as a go-for . Tom ' s prowess on the soccer field was amazing. His ability to go through opponents was unbelievable. Even when a long time buddy was in his way, Bushby broke his teammates nose without breaking stride. It was al- ways easy to find Tom, he was either signing off the E.D. that he and the Buck gave out that Wednesday, or he was arm wrestling Roxy for free beers at the O.B. Tom wants to ship if he can only fly ahead and meet the ship when it arrives in port. Good luck, BUSHMAN. Soccer Graduation Committee Cadet Officer Presidents List Sky Diving Club 35 B.H. M.M.A. was twice blessed when Don Cracker Jack Chase arrived, sailing in his father ' s wake. Don ' s nautical knowledge was soon noticed by all, and so he had Bogger ' draw ' up a license for him to use during the summer. After having mastered the art of spinning rifles, he then set out to master the sextant. This was occasionally interrupted by his finding strange lights and shapes in his bunk, and his starring in academy documentaries. After Connor-ing Nav.

Known to many as a connoisseur of wine, he can tell you just how many swallows in a gallon of T-Bird. Never in our lives have we seen so many 4.0s cranked out of a brain like his. In his junior cruise, due to a freak of time , Craig became the academy ' s chief chart and pub. corrector. An avid student of math, he is still trying to prove that CD is greater than V . May your seas be more smooth than rough in the future, Craig.

He was quickly noted for his daily sleeping routine which gave him at least 23 ' 2 hours of sleep per day. This did not destroy his availa- bility , however, as he wreaked havoc upon the girls of Buzzards Bay. Frog was campus expert on anything from automobiles to sailing, as well as being M.M.A. ' s version of Xaviera Hollander. Dave ' s quick wit and his ability to make a good time out of anything will serve him well in the future. Good luck in your future endeavors Dave, whoever they may be.

CRITTER Critter came to us from Brockton wearing a pair of Walkover Shoes. He immediately started telling the upperjobs the proper ways to haze, but received no thanks for it. Driving back and forth to Brockton was not hard in Critter ' s bombers. All we heard about for four years was a 39 Willys Coupe, but no sightings have been reported yet. No doubt, this is due to th gas shortage, because with Critter ' s ingenuity, the car should run. After a brief love. Critter gained control of himself and started writing his 200 letters of refusal to various companies which offered him jobs. Have a good time cruisin ' Critter, whether in a tanker or Willys Coupe.

Chee Chee, ever proud of his Southern Heritage, brought our class to the verge of tears with his heart stirring rendition of My Old Kentucky Home . Not only did Big Chuck prove to be a master navigator, but his athletic ability left everyone in awe as he piloted the first football team in many years at Maritime, into inter- collegiate competition. Chuck ' s final contribution to M.M.A. was The Claw . With the Stars and Bars flying proudly, all police in the area knew that they had best not hassle the Mate at Maritime . We all wish Charlie the best of luck as he plies the waters off the Coast of Kentucky.

John, Jack, Dragon, Dragone; Hell I don ' t know, but he sure is bitter! As it turned out, he wasn ' t that bitter, he just hated upperjobs like the rest of us. His big heart left off where his body ended, always willing to help a classmate. Sewing a button on the old A2 was something Ma always did. hence John was now Ma! Into the dorms we went, and John kept moving, right on over to the gym to join Bernie ' s Mafia. Has he seen his calling there? We don ' t know, ask him, he might.

Unfortunately, he was so thin, that no one saw him until 6 months after he arrived, when after doing so much work for Tom Rogers, he was finally fattened up on ice cream. One of Paul ' s rare traits; perching on desks, chairs, capstans, etc., earned him the title of Buzzard. Since then, he has dropped out of Schuss Buzzard many a time, on un- wary youngies. Buzzard has gone further to follow his name, by trying to fly from airplanes. Also, he has started dating taller women, which posed a problem in his blue sports car. Paul will do well on any bridge.

JEF Everyone was curious on our first few days at Maritime what the kid ' s name was that had the unique ability to walk through walls, multiply peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and had the curious ability to walk on the canal. We would have read his name tag except everyone was blinded by his halo. We finally found out when three wise men came along looking for Jef, Son of Lee. We didn ' t know who this Lee was but we soon found out. After the new ad- ministration came in Jef traded in the glow around his head for a brighter glow around his collar. Like everyone else who has a cross to bear, Jef s life was one bit BUMmer. As Jef will be married to Mary Rose by the time he sees this we all wish you both every happiness in the world.

JOSEPH ROGER FORTIN 25 Old North Road Hudson, Mass.  . f f J JAY Early to bed and late to rise , was slow walking, quiet talking Jay ' s motto. A good sailor and class- mate, he was very quiet and seldom seen. This is until the cruise, when he set records in correcting the navi- gator and high jumping from Commonwealth Pier. In his junior year. Jay teamed up with The Bogs to create the time tunnel, which became a meeting place of trivia experts, card sharks, pool husslers, ping- pong champs, and various other assortments of hard agents and horrendous persons . Jay ' s ability to make others adapt to him, will enable him to excel no matter what course he steers in life. CoCoComDiv OB Crew 40 DAG The summer of ' 70 found most of us wondering who this kid was, and where in Hell was Three-Rivers? We soon found out and then changed Dave ' s name to Dag. We also learned to stay away from his elbows when he was mad. Dave soon became the 2 Night Rider of the Class; Copilot for Gregg and Joey. Eventually he graduated to pilot, and his Rover was soon seen bouncing over the dunes at Sandwich. Have fun when they finally pave those roads in Three Rivers, Dag. Tee-shirt Sales Corp. DAVID A.

Woppo came to us from Holliston, a town where they still make wine by the traditional methods. Bill was one of the few people in our class who were blessed with retractable hair for inspections. This also helped when dodging shots and driving his Jeep . Woppo ' s talents didn ' t end there though. He also received a B.S. in flashing light, and in advanced skiing. Woppo could always be found either on the Lacrosse field or on a corner selling T-Shirts. Have I got a deal for you! Exxon doesn ' t know what they ' re in for. Good luck Woppo.

LUCKY DAVE Dave came to us from Beverly with a rabbit ' s foot in one hand, and a horseshoe in the other. Lucky Dave, as he soon became known, could do no wrong. Between beating Class Ones, and getting jobs, we found that Dave seemed to have someone always look- ing over him. Even in Lacrosse, Dave overcame his blindness, and all goalies feared the Batman . Dave ' s only problem was keeping his head out of his chest after some of his checks. One thing we did learn in four years was not to play cards with Dave, even if he says How do you play this game again ? Anyway, we ' d like to wish Dave luck, but he really doesn ' t need any more, so we ' d like to say don ' t lose what you already have. Lacrosse Tri-Captain Football Soccer Ski Team Gregg arrived on a full moon, only to get three hair- cuts the first day here. All he could talk about was Lacrosse, and he did an excellent job too. He was instrumental in getting the sport started at the academy. When we left on our first cruise, Gregg was an old salt, so it didn ' t bother him much, but ... he lost it in Puerto Rico with love at sweet 16. Next, Gregg was preoccupied with trips to Maine seeing George. He was spotted one night eating a mustard and relish sandwich after coming down from the fore- castle. We can ' t forget the game of Prince of Whales he taught us in the compartment, nor his night riding habit. A red sports car can be seen leaving most after- noons about 4 p.m. In his senior year, he started to settle down, with some help. Gregg has one great personal attribute; whatever he does, he goes all the way. Gregg is bound to do well — he ' s been hanging around with Lucky Dave.

Jack became known to us as the Toad. Who can forget the night when Toad broke the spell of Upper Job wrath and gave Shiegl ' s the beating of his life before a cheering crowd? Or, on the first cruise when Toad answered his third phone call in 15 minutes 100 miles off Florida. But no one really believes that Toad is gullible, even if we did sell him back his own shoes. While here, in addition to playing soccer and lacrosse. Toad captained the football team. He was also captain, and a real crowd pleaser, in wrestling. In the future, we wish you the best Toad and hope to see you soon. And, if you get a chance to write out there, just drop it off at the nearest mail buoy. Really?

BABYFACE Joe was quiet when he first arrived at Maritime — But that was only because he thought it was a training camp for the Boston Red Sox. He soon found out that maritime socks are blacl and that the only thing red, was his hair! Round turns ' advanced nautical knowl- edge (acquired on his own 21 foot Lyman) helped him to keep a high cum. in the latter years at maritime. Joe ' s spare time was spent returning broken stereo sets and chauffeuring the Nite-Riders in his T-Birds. (Rumored to have been provided by a Paint and Chemical Company.) The gas shortage didn ' t put a dent in Joe ' s driving, only in the wallets of the Nite- Riders. In his senior year, Joey found two stripes on his collars and a youngie brother underfoot. But he adapted to both and proved he will go far in whatever field he chooses.

I hear that the Dog was going to replace Don Kent, because of his famous weather predictions during his upperjob year. K you ' re trucking on down the Cape in the future and you happen to see a shaggy looking dog with a horrendous looking beard and non-regula- tion haircut buzzing around on a cycle, then you know that this dog was a graduate of M.M.A. Every- one knows that deep down inside of him he always wanted to be a master of a paintbrush, but he decided to take a pass and become the master of the greens for the summer and then become master of the Vacationer . All joking aside, the Dog plans a good future for himself and for his girl; If he can find one to understand him. Everytime you see the Dog, just say; ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and he ' ll understand.

Not having anything better to do, he set sail aboard the Titanic bound from B-Bay to Newport via the Panama Canal. His attempt was thwarted, however, by a heavy fog and a wayward tug. Not giv- ing up on any new adventures, he started seeking thrills by jumping out of airplanes, hoping that his parachute made out of bed sheets, would always open. Tim became an expert of the Middle Atlantic during his upperjob cruise, and hopes to see more of it after graduation . . . Only this time, from a ship that moves. 34 Crescent Rd. Riverside, Conn.

But, thanks to H.G. ' s tall stories, weekend jobs, booze parties, and occasional dates, Mark stayed. In his junior year he swapped fishing secrets with a certain commander, who named him Leo a year later.

The Grip. Not to be out done by the sander, and prompted on by an upperjob, Grippa later followed the previous act by completing one-half a tight rope routine upon a spring line, and landed not too far from the sander. No matter how hard we may try to forget Grip and the Florence Flashers, there will always be signs to remind us of him; empty Rolling Rock bottles, cut up editions of Playboy, and clothing with cigarette burns in it. Although it would be appropriate to wish him luck, he has already figured the odds and put down ten on his own success. So to the King of Wine Women and Attire, our only wish for him is for the proper use of a sharp razor and all the aptitude he can come by. Honor Guard CoCoComDiv Five Hold Club RANDALL A.

Bauer was custom made for M.M.A. This was made evident during his youngie year when on numerous occasions, he consumed more cheese and butter sangies than any of his many challengers. In his second and third job years, he attempted to serve the M.M.A. Hockey Team as one of the famous four. And, certainly we can ' t forget his devotion to the football team, and his natural pas- time of breaking bones of people in the other line.

Ugly rumors attached to him sentenced Bob to serve his time in hard core Cell Block 3 . Bob proved to be the only bright spot during inspections, and served as a stabilizing in- fluence. Even though our association has been brief, Fort Scuppers loss was our gain. Good luck to a member of the class of ' 74. Transfer Student 52 GINZO Gerry Greasinaro came to Maritime direct from Quincy in his black bullet-proof limousine. We saw Gerry get out of the car with a white suit and black hat with white band, but this did not scare anyone. It was when his father got out of the car with a violin case in his hand, that we got worried. Gerry followed the Family Traditions by organizing the poker games and eliminating youngies. Gerry was one of the better practical engineers at M.M.A. After all, it isn ' t every- body that can put something back together and not have to worry about needing any grease. Best of Luck Gerry.

Dana, Mel ' s son, has been pulling deals since he arrived, and managed to sleaze out of every inspection with an empty camera. When not howling at the moon, he can usually be found sacked in, glued to the pinball machine, or making wine in his room. When it comes to money, Dana is very shrewd. He is the only one who can get off in a port with one Bee Wee and come back with a U.S. Dollar. It ' s rumored that he and Nerd are open- ing a retail plywood store after graduation. Good luck in whatever course he sets sail on. Yearbook Track Newman Club Hockey Newspaper Photography Club 53 JONESY ' CoCoComDiv. WARREN T. JONES Main St. Barnstable, Mass.

After classes. Ken would mysteriously disappear, then just as mysteriously re- appear the next morning for classes. But of course we all knew where and to whom Ken disappeared. What a rip-off he got; all that money he paid for rooms at the dorms, and then having to live some- where else. He must have worried about that every time he left. Oh well, A ' Penny ' saves . . .

It is said that he is the best five tracker to graduate from here. I wonder if it has anything to do with his being the only five striper to graduate ' ' Brad is one of our best engineers and proved this to us all when he fixed the feed pump. The Chief is a hard worker, but we don ' t hold that against him. And it ' s a sure bet that it won ' t be long before he makes Chief. Best of luck Chief.

Al is the only guy that can play pinball all day long and still make money. Al was one of the Bernardston Car Transporters, which interfered a little with his equestrian hobbies, and love life. Because of his activities on the. Nato Cruise, Al was awarded the Fred Wright Medal of Honor with Black Smoke Cluster, for superb combustion control. Needless to say, the Coast Guard was busy painting the next day. Cadet Officer Bowling League 56 MUFF On July 7, 1970 D.E. Mahoney arrived, and it was quite definite that this cadet was to rule Watch I Engineers. David ' s train of thought was always on the positive plane, but sometimes when David spoke, the words would come out all muffed up. David could usually be found around the ping-pong tables in the dorms, and he kept on saying; K ping-pong was on the Coasties, I ' d pass with flying colors . We always heard of David ' s exploits to a town called Norwood, but we have yet to figure out which girl he went to see. Some day David ' s ship will come in and there will be a Chief Engineer aboard by the name of D.E. Mahoney. Good luck Dave.

Rowing Club Rifle Club Wrestling Cadet Officer MAC Southwick ' s contribution to the Class of ' 74 was their very own Country Bumkin . Since Mac ' s first day down here, he stood out in the crowd. His height made him an ideal light bulb changer, and if the ship ever went down, you could always get in one of Mac ' s shoes and avoid the rush to the lifeboats. Mac has always been an easy going guy who was easy to get up for watch; just send the youngie to the rack with the feet hanging over the end of it. Mac has always been a good engineer and a great watch stander, and his ef- forts were rewarded in the end with An extra day in the Bay . You know what they say, Mac; A day in the Bay is like a day without sunshine! The best of luck to you and Lynn in the future.

After a hard night making the rounds at the local bars, he would always seem to pull off the highest mark on the test. Ed is the only kind we know that prefers a beer to a Chick. Although being a great drinking buddy, Ed was handy when we encountered barroom brawls. Ed ' s ambition is to have a kid in every port.

As for women, Nurd was always the luckiest before the cruise, but was second after it. A lot of people would ask Who ' s Somers ? recalling the time when he burnt his hand doing push-ups youngie year, and then getting out of doing them after that. Glen was always the quiet kid in our class, but he was always ready to have a good time. Glen was the first cadet to run an obstacle course in the boondocks be- hind the Dorm. We wish the best of luck to Glen, a great classmate. Alcoholic Allen Framingham Night Riders O.B.

He came here with one girl, and left with many. Or. at least he tried to. He always tried to keep up with Ed and Yank, but due to his love life, he never seemed to be able to accomplish their feats. If Tom ever had a couple of aspirin and beers, he could always be used for the port navigation light. Tom ' s engineering abilities were many, especially when it came to auxiliary feed pump maintenance. Tom, we wish you the best of luck in the future — and to your feed pumps.

His room appearance was never up to par, but if you ever needed anything, from a whoozie- majig to a whatchamacallit, you could always get it from Tess. Tess was always the first to set the new trends, such as dorm room archery, bugging rooms, knife catching, and sea gull fishing from the fourth floor. Even though he has his odd ways, he will always be one of the best engineers. We all wish him and Sue the best of luck. Sailing Club Nato Cruise O.B. Crew Alcoholic Alley EDWARD W.

I think that when he left, there were only two people left in the town. Since Dave entered M.M.A. in 1970, the number of cars in Bernardston has in- creased to more than the number of people. This will surely change, since Dave is now living in Manomet. Dave, the Ernie Boch of the Class, has outranked Dragone in used car sales. Would you buy a used car from this man?

ROMAN From the streets of Lowell came a young man that reminded us so much of one of our beloved upperjobs, that he was soon named after him. So George was known as Roman to all. George was also the In- stigator of the class, especially if Yank and Ed were around. He will never be caught doing anything wrong, but you can be assured that if there is any- thing going on, George was one of the ones who started it. George wants to be a chief engineer, but we all know that the brown-eyed girl will change those thoughts after June 1st. No matter what course he chooses to sail, we are sure he will be a success, and we wish him the best of luck in the years ahead.

If not found in either of these loca- tions, then he is in Room 4. Although Yank can not be considered a Fireman , because he hasn ' t got a hat, Yank is still part of the crew and can do a couple of tricks with it. If you are ever looking for Yank, you might find him in the laundry, doing his sheets. We are sure Yank will be a Big Success, and we wish him and Marcia smooth sailing in the years to come.

We managed to finish up that season with a winning record, 10-2, which, in itself, was a Maritime first. Although our Senior year began with an upsetting loss to B.U. and a few others, we bounced back. As the wrestlers gained experience, the scores became more one sided, in M.M.A. ' s favor. Shutting out Maine Maritime was one of the major highlights of the season. Another big surprise for the team came when Coach Hexter was voted National Rookie Coach of the Year. The Senior Class wishes the var- sity team continued good luck as they take on the top wrestling schools from all over the country. Teams like Clarion State, Maryland, West Point, Harvard, B.U., Springfield, and a host of others. We ask them to remember their humble beginning, and the school ' s first dedicated group of wrestlers in what we know will be a long line. We wish to congratulate the award winners of both years.

College 9 MMA 0 Southeastern Mass 10 MMA 2 Lowell State 3 MMA 2 North Adams 5 MMA 1 Emerson College 0 MMA 2 Framingham State 5 MMA 4 Salem State 5 The 1973 soccer season was, in the words of Coach Smith, just one of seasons. There were games where MMA outshot the opposition 50-10 and lost 3-2. The team never lacked hustle, desire, or deter- mination. The main weakness was firepower. However, Coach Smith feels that the foundation of a fine 1974 team was laid in the past season. Only two seniors, Steve Cheromcha and Joe Fortin, both of whom could play on any team in New Eng- land, are graduating. With stalwarts such as Biff Doherty, Greg Swentor, Mark Wirtanen, Bill Dur- brow, Yasser Marzuq, Ken Rogers, Bill Scatterday, Marty Collins, Hugo Boggard, and others returning, Coach Smith is looking forward with his usual op- timism to the 1974 season. Ill FOOTBALL 1973 brought back football on a varsity level for the first time since 1960. Sixty players reported on August 30th to meet the challenge of a full varsity schedule. The team was composed mostly of fresh- men and sophomores, with a spattering of juniors and seniors. The season opened with a 13-0 loss to Boston State, but this decision was reversed at a later date because of an ineligible player. The final record for the young cadets was 5 wins and 3 defeats. The offensive leaders were Al Fleck, with a 4.9 rushing average and 490 yards for the sea- son, and Peter Marshall, who received 7 passes for 115 yards and a 16.4 average.

HOCKEY The Academy hockey team can boast of an outstanding record for the 1973-74 season. Out of eight games played, their record was six wins, one loss, and one tie. The record is particularly gratifying when it is realized that most of the players will be back for at least one more year. Mark Crombie, team captain, was top defense- man. He has one more year of eligi- bility. Top scorer Nick Roy is only a Sophomore. Top Goalie Greg Fennessey is a member of the Freshman class. Other Freshmen prospects include Jim Olson, Jack O ' Rourke, and Paul Porier. Out- standing players for the season were Nick Roy and Mark Crombie. The Academy schedule included games with Clark University, Curry College, Emerson College, Stonehill College, and Suffolk. I Front, L. to R .; W. Dewitt, N. Bateson, C. Montanez, M. Browne, S.

Ghelli, D. Herndon, Coach H. Evans, R. Allan, K. Braun. Lacrosse was started by the Class of ' 74 at Maritime. Our first year we coach- ed ourselves and scrounged around to find some scrimmages. Third job year brought a coach and a real schedule. The next two years saw us face long established teams who thought that a game against the sailors would be a quick, easy win. They soon found out this was not the case. Four years of lacrosse has brought the Buccaneers recognition and respect in New England lacrosse. With Captains Bill Ghelli and Bob Allan receiving nominations to the New England All Star Team, and the respect of their teammates by being awarded the Norman P. Boudreau trophy for sports- manship and excellence in the sport. Other seniors like Don O ' Mara, Dave Herndon, Jim Smith, and Dave Bartlett all worked hard to develop into players that could compete on a level with any- one else with many more years experi- ence. The ' 74 season found the Bucs 7 and 4 overall, with 2 and 4 in the Col- onial League. Even though Coach Harry Evans has to replace his entire starting attack, and a goalie who completed the season fourth in the nation in saves, underclass- men such as Ken Braun and Dan Foley who were chosen All-Colonial midfield and defense respectively, and John Ma- honey who received the Captain ' s Tro- phy as the team ' s Rookie of the Year will supply the nucleus of a fine team in ' 75.

Coach Brown, Coach Thompson. The 1973-74 basketball squad was one which estab- lished itself as a team with outstanding potential. In a gruelling season of seventeen games, the record was five wins and twelve defeats, with a promise of better seasons to follow. Most of the men who distinguished themselves will be back at least one more year, and at least three will be back for three more. Second- classman Marc Gagnon and thirdclassman Rich Jacks were top scorers, and the leading rebounder, Brian O ' Donnell, was in his first year at the Academy. Other Freshmen prospects included Gary Williams and Tom Rice. Starters for the team usually included Marc Gagnon, Martin Browne (Sophomore), Gary Wil- liams, Ken Johnson (Sophomore), Rich Jacks, Joseph Sousa (Sophomore), and Brian O ' Donnell. 119 TENNIS L. to R.

This was the first year that the tennis team had a full schedule, and in Coach Smith ' s opinion, the season was an outstanding success. It laid the foundation for a fully developed program for next season, that will hopefully include; Brown, Harvard, MIT, Nichols, Harrington, SMU, Eastern Nazarene, Dean, Salem, and others. Several cadets contributed to the team. Joe Wyson had the best per- sonal won-lost record, and combined with Charles Duncan to create one of the best doubles teams in the league. Emelio Melione displayed great im- provement and had a fine season as did an improved Doug Grover. Prob- ably two of the most important play- ers on a team are your 5 and 6 men. The tennis team was fortunate to have fine ones in Tim Gilrein, Marc Gagnon, and Larry Dickens. Coach Smith expects these men to contribute much to the team next year. However, these players will have some competition from a group of very dedicated Junior Varsity. The Comeau brothers, Kent and Kevin, Pat Gillen, Leo Donovan, John Bren- nan, Reggie Baker, and incoming fourth class cadets will be trying hard for a position on the Varsity.

Using high standard Victor semi-automatic match pistols, the team competed against many well established teams who showed their superiority whenever challenged. Consistent high scoring shooters for the year included the advisor to the club, Chief Bob Hartford, the captain of the team, Jo- seph Cerva, president of the club Rich- ard Butler, along with Frank Lucas and Curtis Rasmussen. Other members of the team included Thomas Nadeau, Mark Gillis, Bruce Forbush, and Robert Charland. RIFLE TEAM L. toR.: T. Nadeau, J. Cerva, W. Archer, B. Forbush. Although met by defeat in the opening matches of the year, the MMA rifle men came to life later in the season and ended the season victoriously. Competition this year was against the Aptuxcet Rifle Club and the Sagamore Junior Rifle Team. The match rifles, Winchester Model 52-D, are owned by the Academy with the ammunition supplied by the U.S. Navy. This year ' s high shooters ' list included the captain of the team, Paul O ' Keefe as well as William McCullogh, George Perry, Thomas Nadeau, David Janes, Charles Cerva, and Anthony Fontana. L. to R.: T. Nadeau, D. Janes. C. Cerva, J. Cerva, P. O ' Keefe BASEBALL The 1974 Baseball season was one of great promise for Bob Corradi ' s youthful charges. The team compiled an 11-13-1 record, a vast improvement over the ' 73 club. Because most of his team was composed of freshmen and sophomores. Coach Corradi feels his team will be one of the best in the small college circuit. Senior Tom Stanton and Junior John Hickey served capably as co-captains. The Bucs opened their season against Cape Cod Community College, and that team ' s strong pitching was the chief factor in the Buc ' s first loss, by an 8-3 score. Freshman Paul Martin collected two hits in that contest. In their next outing the Academy swept two from a cold Franklin Pierce team. Kent Gunther tossed the Bucs ' first shutout, winning by a score of 4-0. In a double-header against Keene, the Bucs dropped the first contest, but Sophomore ace Mike Lorman hurled 13 sparkling innings in the second, only to settle for a 3-3 tie when rain stopped the game. A strong North Adams team came to the Academy and in some dismal Easter weather swept 2 from the Bucs. The Cadets then took on rival Framingham State, managing a split. Mike 122 Lorman used both his arm and his bat to lead the Bucs to a 9-0 win. Not only did he register the first shut-out over Framingham, but he also collected 3 hits. After losing to Harrington College 15-11 in a disappointing game, the Bucs played good ball against a strong Bridgewater team, but took two losses there. In their next tilt, the Academy split with Fitchburg State. Freshmen Gary Williams and Greg Fennessey led the Maritime assault in the victory. In their next outing, the Bucs took two from a highly confident Roger Williams club. Joe Souzailed the hitting attack as the Academy scored 11-7 and 6-2 wins. Curry College next defeated the Bucs in the last of the 7th, by an 8-5 margin. The season ' s highlight came at Lowell State. Previously undefeated in 7 outings, the league leaders took a 6-3 pounding from the Bucs. Mike Lorman collected the victory and led the hitting attack. Lowell took the second game, but that was all academic. Hosting Worcester State for a 2-game slate provided the Academy with 2 highly emotional wins. The Bucs came from 6 runs down to take the first 11-6. In the second game it looked as if the cadets would take a 9-7 loss, but in the bottom of the 7th, with 2 men on. Freshman power hitter Greg Fennessy lifted a 3 run homer high over the center field fence to salvage a 10-9 victory for Souza. In an away contest at Stonehill the cadets forced it to go 10 innings only to be beaten 7-6. In the Cape Cod championship game, the Bucs lost a slugfest 12-8 to CCCC, but they wound up their season by taking two from Emerson College behind the strong arms of Sophomore Stan Bostic and Freshman Dave Dias. With most of the team coming back next year. Coach Corradi and all of us are looking forward to great things in the future of Mari- time Baseball. 123 On u[l) g, ig42, tL U.J .J . oijsn vja± [aunck J. into iks: ivuxtn vjaUxi. oj-j- Jlo± c: fn.cj£.U±. :Afu)yziLci j-ox jBizujaJ.U.x £ 2£Ta ClkuxL i. _: .
