. . . 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

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
