By October 17, 1892 the school received her first training ship; the U.S.S. Enterprise a barked-rigged screw sloop-of-war launched in June of 1874. She was 185 feet in length, with a beam of 35 feet. She drew 14 ' 3 loaded. Her plant was steam propulsion provided by a compound triple expansion engine delivering 1200 shp, and was registered at 1 ,375 tons. The Enterprise served our school until 1909. April 26, 1909 the Steamship RANGER (Baystate I) was brought to the school. She was an iron-hulled, steam powered vessel with a full-rig auxiliary sail and was launched in 1876. Her length was 177 ' with a beam of 32 ' and drew 14 ' displacing 1261 tons. Her plant had four 80psi scotch type boilers, delivering steam to a horizontal, back acting compound engine with 560 indicated horse power. Her her name was changed to the ROCKPORT, 30 October 1917, then to the NANTUCKET in February 1918. It was the NANTUCKET which saw service as a gun boat in the First Naval District during WW I. On July 21, 1942 her name was changed to the EMERY RICE in honor of a graduate of the Massachusetts Nautical Training School, the first American to sink a German submarine in WW I. The NANTUCKET leaves us a small legacy in thatthe power plant on campus bears the name of her chief engineer CDR. Ervin L. Kelly. During WW II and some post war years, the school shared the training ships AMERICAN PILOT, AMERICAN MARINER, AMERICAN SAILOR, AND YANKEE STATES with New York and Maine Maritime Academys. In 1948 a joint cruise with Maine Maritime Academy saw the service of the AMERICAN SAILOR, THE AMERICAN MARINER, and our new training ship the CHARLESTON. The U.S.S.E.S.C 1321 (SUGAR CHARLIE) in July of 1946 was put on weekend training by the Navy Department, training one company of midshipmen per weekend. She was launched 6 February 1943 with a length of 110 ' , a beam of 17 ' and a draft of 6 ' 6 . Her twin screws could propell her at 21 knots using two pancake diesels which put out over 1500 HP. The CHARLESTON came to MMA on 25 March 1948. Launched 5 February 1936; she was 328 ' long, with a beam of 41 ' , and a draft of 13 ' . She had oil fired boilers driving twin geared turbines with a speed of 20 knots. She was affectionately known as the CHUM and made cruises in the Pacific, Atlantic, Carribean, and Mediteranian waters. In typical Navy style she boasted 275 officers crew and cadets. Eventually, with growing age and enrollment, the CHARLESTON was retired from service to the Academy. Replacing the CHARLESTON was a ship with an extensive war record. The U.S.S. DOYON carried troops down to the Aleutians for the invasion of Kiksa. She later carried men from the 2nd Marines to the Gilbert Islands then stopped at Taiwan to bring wounded G.l.s safely to Pearl Harbor. She served the country through the war years with distinction, receiveing 6 battle stars. Launched on 9 July 1942, the U.S.S. DOYON had an overall length of 41 5 ' and a beam of 60 ' which displaced 600 tons. With all burners going, her twin 8500 HP engines could propell her at 18 knots. In 1957 she was removed from the Hudson River Reserve Fleet, when she was renamed the BAYSTATE II and came to the Academy for a stay of 1 5 years. From September 1 973 to March 1 980, the HENRY GIBBON (BAYSTATE III) served as the Academy training ship. She also earned 6 battle stars in WW II. -4 The U.S.N.S. GEIGER, launched 9 October 1950, saw service during Korea and subsequesnt peace keeping missions world wide. She reported to Quin Nhon South Vietnam September 19, 1965 to keep up the Navy ' s transportation capabilities. In 1966 she came back to the Atlantic but was again called to serve in 1967 to take troops between San Franscisco and Vietnam. She also evacuated troops and dependents in the last weeks before the fall of Saigon. She had a length of 533 ' a beam of 73 ' . Fully loaded she drew 27 ' with a gross tonnage of 13319 tons. She had a gross horse power of 1 2750 shp. Renamed the BAYSTATE IV, she came to MMA 8 July 1980. In September 1986, the SANTA MERCEDES owned and operated by the Delta Lines on the West Coast was purchased by Mass Maritime and renovated prior to her voyage to Buzzards Bay, her new home berth. The ship had served the Delta Lines extensively as a passenger cargo 26 Of THE PAST vessel during the ' 60s and 70s. She was laid up in San Franscisco when the Maritime Administration was seeking a training ship for Mass Maritime Academy. Due to the extensive efforts of the Academy ' s administration, national and local Congressmen, and a concerned constituency, the Academy was able to obtain sufficient funding for the purchase and renovation of the MA SANTA MERCEDES. On October 5, 1986 the ship was christened the T S PATRIOT STATE in formal ceremonies at the Academy. 28 PRESENT Our main objective at Massachusetts Maritime Academy is, quite simply, to provide a competent work force for the United States Merchant Marine. The position of licensed officer in the merchant fleet is a demanding profession requiring both a degree of military training and a knowledge of operational engineering and deck operations. The job is challenging and exciting, as we, along with other federal maritime academies fulfill this objective. Indeed we are a specialized school. What we produce through four years of study is a corps of merchant marine officers. Because we offer only two majors (Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation), the selection is limited. Our course of study, however does not limit our graduates to the specialized field of the United States merchant marine. Massachusetts Maritime Academy is a military school and each cadet receives some degree of military training. This in itself when combined with extensive engineering training is a very marketable tool with which job applicants are able to pursue challenging and lucrative careers. Despite our specialization, numerous opportunities are available to Massachusetts Maritime graduates in non-maritime related fields. With the present condition of the American merchant fleet, traditional employment with an American flag vessel engaged in genuine deep ocean transportation is limited to a fraction of each graduating class at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. It is certainly no secret that the American merchant fleet does not enjoy the size or the strength she had at the conclusion of World War II. What has taken place since the post world war boom of the 1 950s is the slow decline of the American merchant marine. The present competition in the business of international shipping during peace time is to ugh. Real tough. The high cost of labor and materials in this capital intensive industry has made the United States non-competitive in the fields of shipping and ship building. Today small, developing countries with greatly reduced labor and material costs capture a large portion of the shipping and ship building business. Also the large shipping fleets of today such as the U. S. S. R. and Liberia are a direct product of the economic policies and investments of their own governments. Many like to believe that the business of international shipping is strictly a capitalistic venture where the cheapest ship carries the goods and the cheapest yard builds the ships. Many feel that a national merchant fleet today is only possible through state fostered growth with extensive subsidization or outright ownership by the government. Throughout the history of the United States, the growth of the American merchant marine has been sporadic. Periods of growth of the American merchant marine, stimulated by Congressional action via subsidization and direct aid, have occurred during periods of crisis to provide logistic support during wartime. During peacetime, however, the roll of the state fostered merchant marine has been ambiguous. Does the United States want to be a shipping nation? Will we as a nation be more secure by allowing the continued erosion of the American merchant ship- ping fleet by more cost competitive merchant fleets? Who is to say what is right? What ex- actly is the appropriate attitude of Con- gress? Massachusetts Maritime Academy is an excellent school for both discipline and a no-nonsense education. With few employment opportunities within the merchant fleet, the present trend toward more graduates pursuing alternative career opportunities. The sound basic education provided by MMA has prepared us well for today ' s changing world. PATRIOT STATE In mid-September, the Training Ship PATRIOT STATE was brought from Bender Ship Yard in Mobile, Alabama to her home berth in Buzzards Bay. A crew of sixty consisting of a handful of officers, approximately five deck cadets, and twenty-five engine cadets volunteered their services to ensure that the renovated training ship was delivered safely to Buzzards Bay. The crew spent the better part of two weeks working with the shipyard during the training ship ' s extensive conversion. The vessel was first overhauled in San Francisco but the actual conversion from a passenger cargo ship to a training ship was performed during its eight month stay at Bender shipyard. One of the more significant changes was the conversion of a container hold into cadet berthing. Other major additions included a new sewage treatment plant (to this day, its operation is in question), two new lifeboat stations, a new mess deck and galley, and a new classroom area. The cost of renovation was substantial. Federal funding from the Maritime Administration provided the capital for Tuning inte LT. HRNSEN W I 30 extensive renovations. With the safe delivery of the training ship to the Academy in September by Massachusetts Maritime cadets and officers, the school now has its own training ship. The vessel remained 3 Christening During homecoming weekend, on the fifth of October 1 985, the Massachusetts Maritime Academy held the christening ceremony to rename the MA SANTA MERCEDES, the T S PATRIOT STATE. Citizens from the Buzzards Bay area, alumnae, cadets, friends and relatives of the cadets, and numerous dignataries surrounded the pier at Taylors Point to welcome the PATRIOT STATE to her home berth in Buzzards Bay. Distinguished guests included Admiral Aylmer and his wife, the Honorable Gerry E. Studds (United States Congressman for the district including Buzzards Bay), the Honorable Richard E. Kendell (representing the Governor of Massachusetts), Mr. Paul S. Vaitses (Chairman of the Massachusetts Maritime Board of Trustees), and Captain Paul J. Smith (Master of the PATRIOT STATE). Following speeches by administrators and politicians, the ceremony culminated with Admiral Aylmer ' s wife releasing a bottle of champagne against the hull of the ship to christen her the PATRIOT STATE. The christening of the ship was a fitting occasion during which to pay tribute to the numerous individuals who ' s exhaustive work resulted in Massachusetts Maritime obtaining its new training ship. 32 33 35 38 42 44 45 47 SENIOR CRUISE SCHEDULED CRUISE ITINERARY FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA. PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND AMSTERDAM, HOLLAND B REMAN, GERMANY DUBLIN, IRELAND REVISED CRUISE ITINERARY FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA. JACKSONVILLE, FLA. DUBLIN, IRELAND PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND The class of 1 986 embarked on its third and final cruise on April 1 7, 1 986. A week after completing the Coast Guard License Exams, the ship sailed with with licensed cadets. Only seatime separated the first class from becoming licensed officers. As for morale, the ten day period along side the pier in Buzzards Bay got the cruise off to a low start. Nor was it helped by a twenty-four hour delay caused by a faulty bearing in one of the turbo genera- tors. But spirits were finally raised high as we left the pier on April 28, 1986. A five port cruise awaited us as we steamed out of the Bay to visit the sun of Florida, the beer of Germany and Ireland, the women of Holland, and the Queen of England. This was the PATRIOT STATE ' S maiden cruise, and being untested, we found many problems. We lost the plant a number of times, and too quick decisions caused us to be late to Port Everglades. We were also informed by Admiral Aylmer that we would not be visiting Bremen, Germany or Amsterdam, Holland due to political pressures. This caused great dis- appointment to many. As these were the ports of prime interest, tempers were high and rumor abounded, but these were the least of our worries. As we entered Fort Lauderdale our minds left Mass Maritime and moved towards the beach and the bars. Four days of sun and fun. We were not to be outdone. We departed Florida May 5, to the tune of Mr. Fuller ' s band, anxious to get across to Europe. Halfway through the Bermuda triangle we started having troubles with the port boiler. The PATRIOT STATE came to a dead slow speed. Rumor control was out of control. Information was not being passed. No cadets and very few officers knew the fate of the PATRIOT STATE. The slogan mystery cruise grew rapidly on the backs of chambrays; songs were written; rumor abounded. After two days of very little movement, we steamed slowly for Jacksonville, Florida for repairs. No one was very excited about Jacksonville, but it turned out to be a half decent city. The beach was not very far away and Craw Daddy ' s and Confetti ' s satisfied the night life. On May 1 2 for the second time we left Florida for Europe, not sure where we were going or when we would get there. Our families were in the dark; rumor was rampant since the upper levels of management were telling nothing, if they knew anything at all. We were at sea for 18 days with a stop in the Azores for fuel before we knew where we were going, even as we entered Dublin Harbor, rumor had it that we wouldn ' t tie up because they couldn ' t supply us with water. We spent our days working and our evenings filled with any activity our minds could take: movies, cards, (whist and cribbage were at the top of the list), a basketball hoop was erected, bingo and megabucks on Wednesday and Friday nights, a talent show that kept us laughing for days, a pizza party that looked more like seagulls at feeding time, and a chosen few of us used the fan room to supress our desires. We stayed in Dublin for five days. The pubs were different; the beer was dark; the people were good; the countryside was beautiful. Margaret Heckler didn ' t show for the Admiral ' s party. Just as well, - neither did the Admiral. All in all, a good port. A three day run to England made for a rush for the laundry machines to get our civies clean for five more days of liberty in England. England turned out t o be better than expected. A two city port with Portsmouth alongside and London one and a half hours away. The sights and history of London kept our days busy and clubs like the Hard Rock Cafe had our nights occupied. Portsmouth had a shopping plaza and outdoor market for gifts and good buys. Night clubs like the Ritzy and Valentinos were where we left our mark on England. We entered Cape Cod canal Friday the 20th of June, to meet hundreds of screaming friends and relatives. We all left that day not to return until graduation. The ship would go to New York to see the Statue of Liberty on the Fourth of July, but not this class. We ' re out of here. 50 52 MARITIME FOOTBALL 1985 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE DATE OPPONENT 9 14 Western New England 9 21 Curry College 9 28 Nichols College 10 5 Plymouth State 10 12 Westfield State 10 19 Western Connecticut 10 26 Framingham State 11 2 Maine Maritime Acad. 11 9 Bridgewater State 11 16 Nichols 1985 BUCCANEER FOOTBALL ROSTER Paul D ' Agostino Warren Mac Gilvary George Lagos Tim Buggy Jeff Gorski W L Ken Ramsey L Bob Petrosino L Bob Downey Tom Butler W Chris Sirkis W John Piscionere L Mike Kelleher L Vic Andreozzi W Jim Roberge W Brian Morahan Frank Basile Terrance Collins John Paine Doug Lyons Paul Boretti Chris Meyers Peter Cavassa Mike Redfearn Tim Lemire Mike Bridgeman Joel Murray Mike Flynn Nick Faggas Steve Crowley Kevin Giovanucci Tim January Wayne Sumner Mike Joyce Steve Brown Dan Freund Mike Volpe Steve Mullen Pat Quinn Matt Corbett Joe Felicetta Mike Kairivich Mike Chmura John Marcille Ed O ' Brien Pat Hurley Norman Walker John Gardiner Mike Coveno Dan Lewis Ken Morreale John Piscionere, Jr. John Peacock Bill Donovan Matt Clark Joe Nitti Dave Mlk John Sepich 54 55 MARITIME SOCCER SOCCER ROSTER Matt Valcourt Mark Andolina Paul Smith John Fernandez Mike Tierney Tom Martin Paul Gillis John Monticello Jim Loiselle Tim Brady Dave Demeo Lewis Savlen Pete White Tim Hoover Jamie Long John Brady Scott Doyle Jenkins Cooper Mark Schofield George Player Eric Larsen Robert O ' Neil Dan McCarthy Head Coach Captains Peter Kasarjian Tom Martin George Player John Brady - SENIORS 56 The 1986 Buc soccer team had a memorable season. Led by tri-captains John Brady, Tom Martin, and George Player, the Bucs were a force to be reckoned with. After a quick 3 - 0 start, MMA faced a killer line-up including Brandeis, Salem State, Westfield State and many other top New England teams. Perhaps the season ' s most dramatic con- test was against defending National Champion, Brandeis. The Bucs held them scoreless during the entire first half and then had the game taken away on a second half penalty kick given to Brandeis. Salem State also saw a tough match which they won by one goal, while Salem went on to win the Eastern U. S. championship. Unfortunately the Bucs then dropped an AWAY game at RIC in the pouring rain on our homecoming weekend. The rest of the season saw the Bucs play with lowermorale. A number of seniors played key roles on the 1 986 Buc team. Four year player Dan McCarthy played his usual all out hustle game at forward. Starting goal keeper Matt Valcourt played well all season. Fullback Rob O ' Neil provided tough defense. Three year starter Tim Brady played well at both halfback and forward. Four year starter Tom Martin was a defen- sive strength at mid-field. Four year starter John Brady was the team ' s toughest scoring threat and finished his career as MMA ' s leading scorer. The team was also bolstered by the play of many underclassmen and the graduat- ing seniors wish them the best of luck in the future. Head coach Peter Kasarjian, well known as one of New England ' s finast coaches, departed on good terms to spend more time with his newborn children. We wish him the best of luck. He will be missed. We also wish new head coach Giovanni Pacini the best of luck with his Buc teams. Certainly all the departing seniors look to a continuing tradition of strong Buc Soccer at MMA. 57 MARITIME VOLLEYBALL The Women ' s Volleyball Team had a fine season. Leadership was provided by tri- captains Eileen Daly, Ann Veillette, and Lisa Welby. An outstanding performance by Ann Veillette entitled her to many con- ference honors. With only three seniors on the team, a large contribution came from the freshman and sophmore women cadets. The offense was led by setters Lisa Welby and Katie Kane. The scoring punch was provided by spikers Eileen Daly, Ann Veillete, and Kelly McGrath. 1985 VOLLEYBALL SCHEDULE DATE OPPONENT W L 9 21 Roger Williams College L3 (8 Team Tournament) 9 23 Bridgewater State L Wheaton College L 9 26 Massasoit Com.

Due to the leadership of four seniors, Vic Andreozzi (co-captain), Paul Boretti, Marc Chateauneuf, John Sieminski (co- captain) and an outstanding underclass effort, the Bucs compliled an 1 1 - 7 record. This was even more remarkable when the numerous adversities were taken into affect, such as the cruise shortened season and the one week absence of the seniors due to the Coast Guard Exams. The highlight of the season was the Bucs impressive victory over Brandeis, No. 2 in New England. It took the Bucs eleven in- nings to finally take out Brandeis by a score of 2 to 1 . This was not the entire season, since this game was surrounded by numerous other fine games and efforts. The absence of the four seniors will be sorely missed. However, the Bucs, under the solid leadership of Coach Bob Corradi, and a fine returning squad, are looking forward to another successful season. 1986 BASEBALL SCHEDULE St. Joseph ' s College C. G.

The season was cut short due to the sea term requirements, but the Buc Lacrosse Team managed to salvage a very respectable record within the Pilgrim League, consisting of such powerhouse clubs as Providence College, Babson College, Worcester Polytech., Assumption College, Curry College, and the Lizards from Nichols. (Nichols College was not included on the schedule this year due to the time constraints of the sea term.) The season began with an outstanding performance against Lowell University in the Fall, with a very solid but young attack and veteran defense and midfield. Following the; fall semester reports, however, the Maritime Lacrosse roster decreased by a few names - taking some power away from the scoring threat. The Bucs began the Spring Season with another scrimmage against Lowell University. Following assurances of Coach Keller, (fellas, there ' s no doubt in my mind we can take our League! ), the team had another scrimmage against Brown University. Brown proved a little too much for the Bucs to handle (by about fifteen goals). After the good loss with Brown, the Bucs opened the season with Providence] College at Buzzards Bay. The Bucs ' team play against league teams was venJ successful. Losses against Babson and Worcester Polytech were frustrating. Wins against Babson and WPI could possibly have meant a chance at the Pilgrim League! championship. The team scoring was led by tri-captain Rob Fanning at both attack anc midfield followed by an outstanding performance by Matt Valcourt. Underclassmer Mike Crowell and Greg Wall also contributed greatly to the scoring threat. Zeak freaks Tim Cronin and Brian Donovan provided the correct chemistry for intimidation while Cousin William (Bill Donovan) had a tremendous freshman year at midfield. In brief, the season was solid, (solid hits, solid fights, solid wins.) Due to the youn squad this year, an even more successful season is anticipated next year. Whc knows? With Bill in charge of the bags and Coach Keller looking for the lost balls, how can we lose? 66 LACROSSE ROSTER 8.

Every year all Cadets have passed the tests of speaking, dressing properly, handling receptions, dining habits, dancing, and many other social ammenities. HONOR COMPANY 86 One company of the regiment is selected annually as the Honor Company for a term of one year. The regiment consists of six companies. Each year, companies compete against each other. The company which scores the highest in all phases of company competition is given the title of Honor Company. Rowing, basketball, floor hockey, and soccer are some of the activities in which companies compete. Other elements of the scoring process include v. - w 1 highest company grade point average, best marching unit, and best contribution to community service. The amount of points accumulated by each company depends on the amount of points accumulated with each event. The company which places first in one event wins the greatest amount of points in that particular event. The company with the greatest number of points at the conclusion of the inter-company competition wins the overall competition. The Honor Company competition culminates with the presentaion of a trophy to the winning company. Members of the Honor Company are entitled to a dinner served by the fourth class of the last place company in the competition. Other benefits include being excused from Commandant ' s inspection and obtaining extra liberty during cruise. EXTRA DUTY The discipline system at Mass Maritime Academy is unlike that at most colleges and universities in the United States. Like all military schools, the Academy maintains a demerit system. A cadet is awarded demerits in proportion to the degree of the infraction. When proven guilty of an infraction at a mast board, the delinquent cadet is awarded demerits. Accompanying the demerits is extra duty. It is school policy to assign one hour of extra duty for each two demerits. Three days each week, cadets with outstanding extra-duty have the distinct opportunity of working off the accumulated extra-duty. Extra-duty may entail garbage pick up, dorm cleaning, ship maintenance, or even catering for officer parties. Credit goes to the officers of the Academy, who often exhibit ingenious ways to make use of this inexpensive and valuable resource. The Sophmore Class currently consists of 174 cadets. Academically this was their toughest year at MMA. The Cruise fell in the Spring causing this class to have two very tough academic semesters back to back! The final reward for them was a five month summer break! The class ' fund raising efforts began by holding raffles and selling school banners. 84 85 JUNIORS The Junior Class currently consists of 172 cadets. One hundred and thirty of these participated in the Spring Cruise and 42 cadets shipped commercially. In the past year the Junior Class was very productive and creative in fundraising efforts for their Ring Dance! They had two Las Vegas Nights and many raffles. To help improve morale the Juniors organized a Halloween Party, a Jim Plunkett Happy Hour, and a Ski Trip. One of the high points of the year socially was the first annual semi-formal Dance which was attended by all classes. 9C 8 , - M ,-ijiiiliiiL!

Roger Caron, Joseph Murphy, United States Coast Guard Exams, two men with missions from let ' s just say missions. With the cruise scheduled for after the exams to accomodate the new ship, we were in a situation like no other class before us. Special permission was obtained from the Coast Guard to take the exams before fulfilling our seatime requirements. The exam dates set for April 8, 9, 10, 11, 1986, we started studying in January with seminar classes incorporated into our last semester at MMA. As classes ended, seminar began and MoFo continued.The full time grind was upon us. The deckies taking it very seriously, while some engineers were taking it easy with Rogers WORD. Post seminar tests were taken and the final phases of preparation were taken. Some studied intensively while others played frisbee on the parade field. COASTIES 35 ' ' 0- 158 WAYS IN WHICH WE PREPARED April 8, 9, 10, and 1 1 came and went very quickly and most of us were third mates and third assistant engineers. The deckies passing 83% - surpassing all other state maritime academys and also the famed U. S. Merchant Marine Academy - finally giving the deck department something to smile about. The engineers, holding on to Roger ' s Rule passed 95% once again. The class of 1 986 can be proud of itself, being the most successful class as a whole in recent history. The deck department finally waking up to the multiple choice method of testing, and therefore, it will only be a few more years before Joseph Murphy can walk across the Canal alongside Roger Caron.

The weekend started off with a bang immediately after the exams on Friday afternoon. Once revived from the hangover from Friday night ' s activities, a limited number of the class embarked on a booze cruise of Boston Harbor. Cadets and friends, numbering approximately one hundred and fifty, sailed around the lights of Boston to the tunes of a DJ. The main event of the weekend was the annual Ring Dance at the 57 Park Plaza in Boston. On Sunday afternoon the senior class (approximately two hundred strong) poured into the area surrounding the Boston Common. The male cadets in formal dress and the female cadets in dress white gowns entered the reception hall of the 57 Park Plaza through a bridge of drawn swords. The symbolic class ring encasing the binnacle which, mysteriously held water from all seven seas of the world, stood adjacent to the reception hall and provided the appropriate background for portraits. Following a complete dinner, gifts were presented to Roger Caron and Henry Lamb as symbols of thanks from the engineers for their contributions during the seminar period prior to the Coast Guard examination. At the conclusion of the weekend, the seniors were granted a few days leave prior to reporting for sea term the following Thursday. With thirty to forty seniors not attending the training cruis the weekend including the Ring Dance represented the last official gathering o the entire Senior Class preceeding commencement. 162 Ring dances in the past have been fitting ceremonies to conclude four years at the Academy. For one last time, friends accummulated over the past four years were able to spend a few hours together before embarking on various careers very distant from the academy. Like ring dances in the past, this year ' s ring dance was no exception. •63 COMMENCEMENT 165 The MUSTER is an organization independent of the Academy, receiv- ing neither Academy funds nor activity fees to defray production costs.

Special thanks goes to the many donors and sponsors who ' s funds made this yearbook possible. Also, a word of thanks to LT. Kim Farnham for her advice regarding virtually all phases of the year book. This year, friends and relatives with an interest in the Academy and, of course, the Class of 1 986 entrusted the year book staff with the task of assembling an accurate four year history of the Academy. Effectively displaying the important events of a four year period can be difficult. Indeed many decisions were left to the MUSTER staff. For those unfamiliar with Massachusetts Maritime Academy, we hope that this book proves to be an informative guide. For the Class of 1 986 and friends of the Academy, we hope that you find enjoyment with the MUSTER in reflecting on your association with the Academy. To the Class of 1986, best of luck for a successful and promising future.

William Eldridge James Watkins: There may be luck in get- ting a good job - but there ' s no luck in keeping it. — Jonathan Ogden Armour They need that little bit extra, don ' t mind if it ' s only conjecture.. ..tried to tell me I was NOT normal, I tried to say there ' s no such thing. I felt so sick, I spat on their lifestyles with a runaway pride So catch me if you can, cause I would rather be dead than live with that Timothy J.

Kevin Horan Richard Gurnon: Nothing is more gratify- ing to the mind than power or dominion. — Joseph Addison We have survived, not with the Academy, but in spite of the Academy. Where the best professionals of all fields teach us how to do something, but the politicians above them won ' t let us do it. Through this we are shown how things in life are, not how they should or co uld be.... at the politi- cians convenience and our loss. CLOSING group of special friends. You made a diffi- cult situation easier to live with. You made me laugh when there was little to be happy about. Thank ' s and good luck Bob, Daryl, Jon, Fred, Carl, Mike, and Norm. Rick Comeau Dr. Connors: Denunciation of the young is a necessary part of the hygiene of older people and greatly assists in the circula- tion of their blood. — Logan Pearsall Smith Thank you Mon and Dad for believing in me and for always being there when I need you!! Love, Kevin C. Fiske I suppose it would be easy to use this space for a parting shot at MMA. But it has always been my contention that small people complain about almost everything. Regular people complain about a lot of things. And big people try to see the best in everything, realizing that there is always something to complain about but that we make our own lot in life and must ultimately take the responsibility for it. So what is it that I have positive to remember about MMA. First of all, I met my beautiful wife at an MMA dance. I had a satisfying and relatively successful college athletic career. I met and made some wonderful friends. I became a competent Third Mate and college graduate. I met many people who truly care and a few who truly don ' t. I crossed the Atlantic ten times, saw Spain, REMARKS Greece, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, England and more. I ' ve had good times and experiences which I will never forget. Perhaps I ' m not supposed to say this until I ' ve been gone a few years, but I have enjoyed MMA and it ' s been well worth the sacrifices made.
