HIS brave, full rigged ship was launched at the Washington Navy Yard in 18441. TShe was built of live oak, designed as a slave ship chaser and could overhaul and outsail any craft her size. She fought in the Mexican War and performed blockade duty in the Civil War. Still carrying her single topsails and hemp rigging, she began her career as a training ship for the New York Nautical School on 11th of January, 1875. For 32 years she took green hands over her gangway and made real seamen of them. An interesting historical note regarding the St. Mary's came to pass when the United States Navy Department decided to name one of the new APA's, the U.S.S. St. Mary's. This ship was commissioned on the 15th of November, 194-41, at San Pedro, Captain E. R..G1osten, U.S.N.R. W HEN the march of prog- ress finally forced the schoolship, St. Maryis, from the seas, the Newport ap- peared. She was typical of the transition period and provided not only sails and spars but also an engine and auxiliaries for the black gang to tinker with. The Newport was a composite gun boat, barkentine rigged with a one. thousand horsepower triple eitpansion engine. Her daz. Zltng white hull and the buff trim showing off the sleek- ness of her lines under her towering spars with yards squared to a fraction of an meh bl' lifts and braces never failed to evoke the exclama. t1on, That's my ship!

A2'wX LT. MATTHEW TWOMEY DIEDIICCATIIUN The Class of 1952 is unanimous in its acclaim of one we hold in the highest esteem, Lieutenant Matthew Twomey, who was Hlxflattn to us, and we Hchampn to him. A Champion in his own right as an athletic competitor, both collegiately and professionally, he will he remembered for his guidance in the intramural sports program. However, he will hest he remembered for loeing HlVlatt,H who often remained after hours to aid an aspiring young athlete, or a section, whipping into shape for an intramural event. He never accepted thanks, modestly calling his many unselfish considerations either insignificant or ineffectual. Personahle, he is also a champ, possessed of all the sterling attrihutes that malce him a gentleman and a Uman's man.H Through himself he has created an ideal that will serve as a goal for all of us, and because of all this, we consider it a privilege to dedicate this Yearhoolc to him.

After the first cruise, he saw the iight and entered the time-honored ranks of seamen, relinquishing the motorcycle for the sextant and Bowditch. Pat had his difficulties with the First ciass dur- ing mug year-for caiiing the Hhfiongoin the right name at the wrong time, for puiiing the wrong naii from the door iatch on the outer gate sentry ioox. Later on, it was noticed he had some diffi- cuity with man-ropes and iiie jackets. Judging future hy past, Pat should have an interesting and hizarre iife.

According to these gems of panegyricism we are all clean cut, red blooded, upstanding American gentle- men, each possessed of a plurality of virtues destined to insure success and the rich, full life'-'rich in a sense not necessarily pecuniary though that would be an eventual goal l suppose, but rather as an expression oi de- rived self satisfaction and personal achieve- ment.

The cadets I have mentioned brieliyg they may be examined individuallytoand in greater detail farther on. The school is our own'-one lcnown technically as a profes- sional College, H PS6UCl0nym used to differ- entiate it from ordinary trade Schools. The ship is also our own, one that has withstood with remarkable grace the concerted-.ravages if SCTZUPOH score of cadets in the quest of now e ge. The oceanic mileage speaks for itself: some ninety-lzive per cent ol it traversed at speeds ranging from nine to eleven lmots and the whole interspersed by seventeen ports at home and in eleven countries and colonies abroad. The net result has been an education ol sorts. If education is the process ol introduc- tion, then we have been introduced to many things. To some, depending upon the indi- vidual, we have rushed forward eagerly t0 grasp the proferred hand. And then again we have been thrown bodily before tile presence of others. The deference shown classical academic concepts plus the studY of the obvious and necessary subjects designed to develop technical competence in the arts and crafts relative to the maritime industry were initially intended to round out the indi- viduals concerned. The Pmgfam was met with varied reaction: primarily scorn for the former and deification of the latt .

By chance and hy choice we were to he the guinea pigs. The term got underway: the First Class, faced with the prospect of graduation and license exams, generally turned from us and to their studies. With a good deal ofthe heat off, except for the occasional purges, we turned to our own studies and to watching personalities emerge. Emerge they did: Sally Nathenson, a former hloclcing haclc, distin- guished hy his penchant for sleeping in his gym suit heneath his pajamas. Rumor had it that secreted among the layers of clothing were sets of mouldy isliivvies, all the hetter to keep out the cruel lolasts of winter: Moila, who rose every morning, did his exercises, cold showered, and with all the placid resig- nation of a cow at milking time toddledl0ril1 to get pappedg Horace Kreitzman and Mitdl Finlc, always in the wrong spot at the wrong times hut with fantastic excuses.

For the first time, the mug year was considered common, one half the Class Specializing in declc courses, the other half in engineering: and hoth switching at the end of the first semester. Thus it was hoped that we would all hecome familiar with the fundamentals of each specialty While acquiring an awareness of the sepa- rate prolalems involved. The nohle intent behind all this was to lay the lnasis for great- er future cooperation hetween cleclc and engine officers of the merchant marine hy encouraging reciprocal sympathy. The suh- sequent passage of time was to prove this program, initially, a notalole waste of time. Engineers or cleclc hands too often remem- herecl nothing hut the unpleasantness of the laranch they had forsalcen, and the age old rivalry hetween usnipesn and Hapesntwas re- newed with increased acrimony in the years that followed. , ln no time at all we were hoclc high in studies--calculus, physics, naval machinery, naval science, naval architecture, English, history, besides others that temporarily es- cape recollection.

While within the deck curriculum, we were suhject, several times each week, to classes in Rules of the Nautical Road.

Scattered amongst us were upper classmen who lorded with a heavy hand. Speaking of being staclced four high reminds me of Jalce Martens. Now Jalce, to outward appearances, is a quiet boy, slightly inclined to boolcishness and devoted to learning, a fine and noble thing in itself. In fact if ever anyone decided to burn all the Almanacs for the benefit of manlcind or any other devious reason, he may well have to begin with Jalce. During our eastward crossing, Jalce devoted himself to learning Dutch, which he succeeded in mastering, being somewhat well grounded in German. This he did in what little spare time We had when most of us succumbed to exhaustion or crawled into an obscure corner to exist quietly for a moment or two. On liberty, Jalce usually cut out on his own to visit points of historic interest. During these forays, he invariably met friends who would treat him with the utmost kindness, and upon returning to the ship overwhelmed by his good fortune, he would squat on the deck to write voluminous bread and butter notes. At that point, in would roll the infamous trio who saclced immediately above him: Marv Kuhn, Wally lVlacRae, and Jerry Rooney.

And look pretty it did. However, we no sooner got away from the pier, than the ship was maneuvered so as to present the unpainted port side, which in its own small measure exemplifies all that con- stitutes life. D for Departure Day was a pleasant little farce that comhined all the finer points of Max Sennettism with the grandeur of an Earl Carroll Vanities production. The day dawned fine and ctearg the ship was dressed: all those considered near and dear started to drift onto the pier. At the appropriate hour an hands knocked off work and shifted into the uniform of the dayg the hand was mus- tered on superstructure deck where it hieated and tootled discordantty as musicians occa- sionally with Admiral Leary was piped QTHUCHY ahoard and joined the musicians.

Veterans of previous cruises, however, knew what was to he done. The gangway was swung ahoard, the lines hauled in, and away we went, the Admiral waving regally. It was quite a cruise.

Not violently verdant as had heen Ireland, its twisting path seemed composed of gentle hufis and amhers, and in the pale purple of twilight, it was particularly heauti- ful.

The next event ot note was somewhat ignominious, and that occurred in the spring, when the class was restricted, en masse, for three weeks for what might be termed un- ethical practices in exam preparation. De- spite our optimistic declarations of they wouldn't dare the deed was done. Later, the consensus of opinion was that it hadn't been a bad deal at all. Fidelity was given the acid test, the women separated from the girls, and the consequently derived and un- otticial Sunday night banquets were unique in their sumptuousness and variety. Several of the more ambitious mendicants were ob- served to put on weight: for the first time in longer than they cared to remember, the in- structors were greeted by totally conscious classes on Monday mornings.

The clinch this time is somewhat fonger, punctu- ated hy much heavy hreathing, writhing, a tear or two, and hrave words from the CH who gets his compass corrections all foused up and decides that the quickest way home to the NAG is via Berlin. He is too bloody nohfe for words. Then he hops into the jeep which is always waiting at the door and is off to the wars. And, of course, he has forgotten his tommy gun. Small wonder then, that the next scene finds him swathed in handages while recov- ering from fiesh wounds about the head and ears.

We trod the streets, visited wine shops tout of business, , houses of pleasure talso out of businessl, Roman laaths and a house owned, in days passed, by two bachelor brothers in the wine business. Particularly nice were the hand high murals that encompassed several rooms. An artist was copying them, offered several for sale, hut I was down to burlap at the moment. The Rome tour was nothing more than a three day hulturhampf. Inasmuch as rd devoted my first night to unbridled debauch- ery in celebrating the passage of twenty-four grand, glorious, and wasted years, my eyes never did get exactly into focus. Also we'd piclied a sweet time to come what with the temperature 1000 in the shade and sand storms reported in the Alps. As a result, my cathedrals and museums are all mixed up.

It was an endless series of tours culmi- nating in a visit to the Vatican for a public audience with the Pope. We got into the bus, were whirled about-while the guide said this was that and that was so, etc. Then we'd get out to talce a fleeting glance before re-embarking to go on our way. ln the back of one bus, George Yatslco died in agony and was buried with full military honors.

I am glad I am not an artist, for, after seeing that I should go away despondent, sensing my in- adequacy, to throw myself into the nearest river during a tit of hopeless frustration. Mere words and worn adjectives are inca- pable of describing its grandeur and all that it is. While I am not a culture vulture and am the sort of person who is the bane of any artist's existence, the I-like-what-I-like type, I figure you can wrap up all that is Art in that work and cali it a day. The Papal reception at St. Peter's was all that was expected, its traditional pomp and majestic splendor, the concerted feeling of the thronging thousands and their ecstatic joy upon the arrival of EI Papa pail the imagination. Smiling faintly, he acknowl- edged the accolade accorded him and from the canopied altar which marks the last rest- ing piace of St. Peter, addressed the multi- tude briefly in seven or eight languages with- out pause. Then the procession passed out to the thunderous cheers and chants of those present. While not a Catholic and therefore somewhat incapable of realizing the full spir- itual significance of the proceedings, the spectacle was one I wouidn't care to have missed. Of course the Pope and his office which combine to hold titular sway over S0 inany undivided millions proved exceedingly interesting. However, of more interest to me were those about us in whose faces were mir- rored, with intensity and passion, the deep conviction of their faith. It was something most of us will long remember. It was a quiet and rather su of cadets who. ate dinner that night, paul from the emotional impact of th partly from approaching exhaustion, Ting night was spent comparatively quietly at L Booteria which sold the first decent he H drunk that side of the Alps, er Next morning three cadets only of sev- enty-odd in Rome were on hand for the tour, And they were summarily dismissed by us who remained as bucking for rates. For one I figured to take the ten and so remained ig sack. At least Fd live to get them. Such was the sentiment of most of the rest. That noon, upon hearing the ominous rumble of official disapproval, we allowed ourselves to violate the privacy of the early Christians and were whisked through the Catacombs. Later we followed two pretty girls across a field and up a road to the field location of Quo Vadisn where we saw an exhausted Robert Taylor fnot ours, trying very hard to act like a Roman conqueror. We left that night, and in a day or two slid past Capii out to sea again. It was a restful change having to work only twelve or fourteen hours a day. In winding up this episode I will say that I was somewhat sorry to leave Italy and the Italians, a sentiment shared by very few it seems. They have to be seen to be appreciated, and sometimes it takes a good stomach to do so. Few will forget the hosts who would rush to greet us as we passed through the portals of the Nuevo Estazione Maritima on liberty. They were so obtiging, so available for service, and sought to tempt us in many devious Italian ways.

All of which leads me to thinlc that no matter how thin the firing line, more harm than good is done by sending the womenfollc to the front. They seem to talce exquisite delight in per- forming what is inreality a boring and dis- tasteful job. Further, they violate all the carefully precedented rules of warfare so painfully evolved by the menfollc who wish nothing more than to goldbriclc their way to a point where the politicians, once over their pique, will sit down and decide who has won. History will attest to this. The gentry, quality follcs that is, had warfare down to a science in the middle ages. They could en- gage in tremendous and indecisive battles with neglible losses amongst themselves, the scores of thousands of slaughtered peasantry being of small significance and easily re- placeable. Then Joan of Arc came along and loused everything up by actually win- ning a war. Since then there has been no fighting safely or sanely. Better they should remain home well-babied, barefooted, and out of the way before more harm is-done. As regards the chow, I gag at the thought. We were subject to quite a spread in Tel Aviv, a luncheon they had probably gone to a great deal of trouble at the expense of further deprivation to prepare.

We were eSC0Tted through the Arab quarter two by two with armed guards 'fore and aft. There we saw the aged and infirm solemnly smoking their water pipes, while the younger fry scrounged for edible things in the dust. All the younger men were mysteriously away. I didn't see one Arabian beauty worthy of clapping into a harem. Several duty sections managed to pull an overnight in Jerusalem. The city was, and is still, contested, with the result that the New City is in the hands of the Israelis while the Old, in which is found most of religious significance, is retained by the Arabian legionnaires: A tour to Tel Aviv and Jaffa produced an interesting and somewhat amusing reve- lation, not without tragic undertones, how- ever. Tel Aviv is to Jaffa what Minneapolis is to St. Paul, the relations being just as uncordial, due to the fact that the former is inhabited by Israelis, the latter by Arabs. When the war started, the citizenry of each dutifully set forth to slaughter the other. All this was done in an area of about five square blocks, the result being a neatly parceied and completely devastated battlefield be- tween two entirely unscarred cities. Archi- fecturally speaking, Tel Aviv is the most modern city Tve ever seen, having been founded in T910 and grown too fast to per- mit the. establishment of anything even Slightly archaic. Sort of a Flatbush gone mad. TAKE HER DOWN! Wie. H 'SPEGSHUN-Aklggn Speaking seriously, due credit should be paid the Israelis for their gallant efforts to squeeze the blood from the stone that is their homeland in'the face of such formidable op- position. They labor like bloody mountains to bring forth the minutest mice, but never- theless face the future with determination and confidence. Though conversation is made somewhat tedious and wearing by their unbridled chauvinism, unfortunately conditions are still far too grim to permit them the luxury of tempering it with humor. By virtue of an intense interest in the States, we are all fully aware of the economic diffi- culties encountered. The sociological prob- lems of this cosmopolitan state-fone can en- counter Australian or Laplander with equal ease'-are perhaps best illustrated by a tale told me by an American emigrant whom we'd met on the beach of a little colony to which we'd gone to swim. in the States he had lived in Queens and had been a wall- paperer in the winter, a lifeguard during the summer. During the war, he had worked in the infantry. Caught at a moment with noth- ing to do, he had decided to visit israel, arriving just as the war with the neighboring Arab states Hared. Joining the army he soon found 'himself in command of an infanl'l'Y platoon, most of whose members were WOIH- en, trying to raise the siege of a certain he- leaguered desertvillage.

A trades- man or a harlceep wouldn't have heen caught dead with one, and it was impossihle to get them to malce any changes. Third were the hullfights most of us got to see, thus satisfying morhid curiosities and satiating hlood lusts. I lcnow very little ahout hullfighting other than what I've read in Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon. It seems there are good hulls who stand and fight and are therefore predictahle, and then the had hulls who fight, scurry away, and turn to fight some more. The latter are dif- ficult to handle as the matador must close on them. We saw had hulls, one of whom hung a novarillo up on his horns. He was horne away hy his seconds, hleeding profusely. There was also a lady hullfightress who did the joh from horsehaclc. Her name was Con- chita Citron and recently I read that she had married a well monied Spaniard and suhse- quently retired. After finally having heen witness to one of these hrawls, I am afraid l cannot agree with those who denounce it and pity the hull. In the first place it is not a sport, hut in reality closely approximates an art whose accompanying pageantry stems from tradition, and an art requiring great personal courage. Under no circumstances would I relish the idea of half a ton of poten- tial hamhurger hearing down upon this one, inasmuch- as I find I am easily suhject to fracture and ahrasion. Secondly, it has its so- ciological virtues as it lceeps those concerned out of the pool rooms and in the fresh air fighting and raising hulls, provides enter- tziilinment for the masses who when unamused s ow a penchant for revolution, and, if all 8008 well. provides free meat for the poor, A.8'I'Cy, somher city physically, though not Without apparent dignity, Barcelona wants to Al JAIMITA Y ALBERTO awolce late at night to display all the Latin gaiety traditionally associated with the Span- iards.

Quickly our post cruise leave passed and the day of graduation and our ascend- ency into the position of senior class present approached. The first class was graduated, with the Admiral giving his customarily wise advice. Then the rates were handed out, and we were in business. The second class year was marked by several things of interest, and an occurrence oftragedy. For once, we gained instead of lost when Bill Browning entered the class. An ex-Naval officer, Bill stayed with his class during his mug year, then entered ours. Be- ing an ex-Naval seaman I was somewhat fascinated by the possibilities presented by this strange twist of fate, as I found myself senior to him on the cruise. However, it oc- curred to me that he still retained his com- mission, was still being promoted, and four years would net me naught but an ensigncy, and once again downwind from him. And in these times you never can tell what the future will bring. So I passed UP an OPPOT' tunity of a lifetime and did nothing- The blow was cushioned by the fact that Blu turned out to be a very good guy' However, we lost painfully with the death of Charlie Pappeftf OH the first of November that year.

In this year, the class received its per- sonal Messiah in the form of John McDou- gal, who disbursed good cheer behind the portals of the Foxhead. A trap with a unique clientele including Rosy Woods, the Dog- catcher, and the guy who was forever bring- ing in dead cats and laying them on the bar ,-'seems he liked to stroke them while he drank his beer'-the Foxhead fast became a standing favorite with the class. Few will forget Rosy Wood and her boyfriends. Rosy had a heart of gold as far as cadets were concerned, and in her eyes we could do no wrong. Because of this, her admirers, and there were always at feast two about vying for her favors, were forced to feel likewise. Consequently, whenever Rosy decided to marry one of them, a decision she made several times each night, she always celebrated her betrothal by plucking a fin from the lucky man's wallet and buying a round for all the cadets present. She was especially fond of Marv Kuhn. This was also the year of the Hickory Log, the Stuyvesant Casino, and the draft. Kenny Hertz resigned to go into the Air Force. The neighboring reserve battalions were activated and the area drained of eligible Yeuflgsters as far as the womenfolk were concerned. While their mothers made slurring remarks, nasty things about our be- ing' draft dodgers, their daughters suddenly began to take interest irf us. Instead of being objects of loathing and scorn, possession gf a cdet for an evening was something to be triasufede The 4ChHI1ge.Was..so .sudden it took a ittle time for us to cast off our apprehen- sion. The draft was a big topic of conversation and the times were full of alarms , sions in panic.

And in this year, the Newman Club sponsored several dances that will forever linger' as treasured memories. Marty Maguire had much to do with these. Then one morn- ing I awoke to find us in Miami on the last cruise, which also included visits to Bilbao, Spain: Rotterdam, the Netherlands: Edin- burgh, Scotland, and Cherbourg, France, A somewhat abbreviated cruise due to the fact that the bucket underwent a badly needed overhaul in the Erie Basin, a consensus of opinion regarding the popularity of each ranked them in like order with, perhaps, Rot- terdam slightly edging Bilbao. Cherbourg can be disposed of quickly. It was the only town I've ever been in I couIdn't get out of, and I did so want to. There were several tours to Paris but even these proved disap- pointing inasmuch as the tourists, who had flocked to its 2,000th anniversary celebration, had, as in Rome the year before, ioused everything up. The stay at Miami was brief but event- ful. We had no sooner tied up at the corner of llth Street and Biscayne Boulevard than many of the 'Playboys of the Western Vvorldn appeared on the streets riding regai- iy in long, low convertibles. After paying the cash guarantees and setting aside the money necessary to meet the rental, a com- bine of cadets involved 'in such a Venture might find themselves with no more than half a rock amongst themselves. But theY looked good. Perhaps it was indicative Of what the future was hoped to hold. In addi- tion, there was Stone's, the diversion PTO- vided by the innumerable hotels and beach6S of the Gold Coast, and Silver Dollar Jake- Many of the boys did not have to look VCFY far for feminine companionship.

There were numerous invitations to cocl-:tail parties, din- ners, dances, and one musicale that I Imovo Of, in Bilhao alone: in Portugulete, where we tied up, the townspeople threw a fiesta in our honor. Not too many of us showed up the first night, hut this didn't faze them in the least. They had such a good time they lcept it going during the remainder of our stay. Originally scheduled for what l pre- sumed was the town hall, it continually over- llowed each night into the adjoining square, as scores of Basques, cadets, and the more monied from Las Arenas across the river were attracted to the scene hy the sounds of h k' k d joyful revelry. The day we left, t ey IC e ff nother one this time commemorating o a , the day of the town's patron saint, someone h loolced after fishermen. W o In addition to the ahove, there were tours throughout the heautiful and rugged countryside. Several things stand forth vividly. One is the leisurely regard for time. Wl1iCl'1 the more Anglicized consider money. There was a dance scheduled in Las Arenas for the un- godly hour of eleven. All those cadets de- siring to attend were granted extensions of liberty until two. Shortly hefore the ap- pointed llbur they started to drift in, hut our hosts were slow in coming. At midnight. only the vulgarly eager were present. It seems they had siestaed late and were there only hecause they had eaten on the run and dressed in a hurrY- p AT vm. Y Another incident that will long be re- membered by many first classmen was the Governor's reception in the City Hall. in Bilbao. Except for perhaps an occasional Contact with the Limey Navy, it was tlle first time many of us had ever been piped aboard anything. However, our Spanish friends gave us the worlcs with a loudly trumpeting, but tuneless, band concealed behind the draperies or some such. You couldnlt hear yourself thinlc. As if this weren't enough, there were innumerable little men present. clad in colorfully drab uniforms, who continually presented arms at every turn. Working on the old axiom of stowing it when in doubt, painting it when you can't stow it, and saluting it when you can't do either, we soon grew arm weary. A masochist and a student of the coclc- tail party, being much interested in the dif- ferent.speciesiwl1ich afflict this world, l got me into a Spanish variety. It is basically the same only with a Latin beat and a few inno- vations. First there doesn't seem to be any host or hostess. Everyone arrives, and while most Sfffi' on the patio to malce polite conver- sation, 'the boys get the still going.

Cormaclc. But it was good to get out to sea again. We needed the rest. The only reasons l can thinlc of for go- ing to Rotterdam were the desires for un- garliclced chow, some good beer, and the chance to feed substantially on wholesome and unimaginative vittles before starving in austere Edinburgh. Qther than a dutiful visit to the Peace Palace in the Hague and a few encounters with Heinilcens we were famished for thrills. The quay alongside which the ship was secured was novel, however. It will be re- membered as being the best, scenicly spealc- ing, we ever encountered, and probably the best most of us ever will see again. Along it ran a boulevard, bounded, on the inshore side, by a parlc full of shady wallcs and ge6SC infested ponds.

In the end, a crew of cadets picked up the pipers, the Scottish dancing girls, the kitchen help and their toot, and adjourned to an NCO's ctuh where we took up where we had teft off. tt was quite an, evening. Mr. Ede was a genial man we had met somewhere. Engaged in some sort of tiaison wort: for Standard Gil, he was the proud possessor of an apparently inexhaustahte ex- pense account. Forever humping int0 him we found him tavish in his hospitality. The two forays into the George are simply dealt with. The first time, Nh. Edt? escorted us in. We were seated at a TIYIQSICIC tahte on the dance floor. Qur last flight ashore we were shown to a tahte in an oh- scure corner.

Pipe-Major Stoddard, who invited Joe Fen- ton and me out to the Dregorn Barracks to witness a Retreat. The result of that was a hingo party several nights later, a party Wagner, Lucci, and McHugh won't forget. Especially Wagner, who was fouliy done hy a Gurkha. Something everyone will remember, however, was the Retreat at Edinburgh Castle during which the drill platoon, re- inforced to company strength, drilled for the crowd assemhied and in so doing had the honor of hecoming the first foreign detach- ment ever to do so upon request. it seems the English had heat us to it, hut they were uninvited and therefore insignificant.

And down helow-the roar of the hlowers hlending and softening the noises ahout: the dungaree clad engineers, their pockets sagging with the implements of their trade, casually, yet carefully checking valves, maintaining levels, watching readings: the smell of toast and coffee: the Uthrottle par- sandwich hastily swallowed, the coffee hasti- ly gulped, the few quick drags on th ette: then laying topsid-e to muster: Y0u're relievedf, and you lay helow. The sounds as loelore in the grey of the false dawn: the navigators stumloling topside for morning stars: the scurry of feet, the cry of Mark on the signal hridge: they lay helow, and the dawn lolossoms, slowly and gently at first, then with a sweep that leaves the sun lying hot and low on the horizon, as if pausing helore continuing its leap into the C cigar- zenith and heyond. The day-the sun higher, the ship Stir- ring, the smell of loreakfast from the galley and the wardroom: morning muster, the di- visions in ranks, a laugh cuts the morning air, the suhdued whisper of jovial talk: the llirst crack of chipping hammer on steel deck, another and another, until the air rings dis- cordantly, the nerves recoiling when they stop at noon: the sun climhs higher, the hours toiled hy the ship's hell, the passage of time punctuated hy the pipes that lourst forth over the PA system: watches are re- lieved, the day passes. Knockotf and the shouts of the cadets as they lay helow to wash and to shift into uniform: the after- noon passing quickly for the dogwatches: then the long shadows of sunset, amher, golden, purple, with infinite and gentle shadings of each: supper is eaten, and then the groups of cadets are seen to congregate all ahout, to talk shop, of the day, the last liherty and the next: helow, others sit and write letters, some read, play cards: the mid- watch turns in: an accordion splits the air, or else the dance hand holds sway some- where: on numher two, the movie detail . 1 f I .

All this we rememher, any one or all matting everything worth while when per- haps nothing else did. And so ends my little tale. ln closing, l should like to say a few thousand hrief words, and they are: First. concerning this little opus. Either through laclc of space or failing memory much that is Worthy of mention has re- mained unsaid. For this I am truly sorry. llrnow,'too, that as soon as this goes to press, a welter of incident and detail will Come to mind, hut then c'est la vie. Other than that, I don,t give an inch on anything, SQCOIKHY and profoundly, time alone will reveal how We are to fare, and what is 10 llecome of us in the bright days ahead. CISW The days of our having heen shipmates grow fewer and fewer, until the time will come when the prospect of all of us ever heing under the same roof again is highly im- prohahle. We will meet occasionally, singly and severally, in odd and exotic places throughout the world. And twenty or twen- ty-five years hence, losing aloft, adding amidships, married, domesticated, and grim- ly determined parents, We shall proloahly foregather to prove something or other. I sincerely hope all hands will he present. In any event those who do show should have fun reminiscing and discovering just what did happen to the class of 1952, an outfit which is the recipient of some dire predic- tions as of now. Whatever happens, I shall personally recall them all as needing two to start a party and four a jovial riot, good ship- mates and grand fellows. And if for no other reason, pray remem- her me as the guy who tried to do service by suhstantiating our lies with facts.

Matt, with his unending zealfor intramural activities, has created a strong competi- tive spirit in the Cadet Corps. Basketball seems to be our chief sporting interest annually. Mr. Rein- llart and his crew use teamwork and spirit in place of height in overcoming opponents. Exemplary df this is the great 61-60 win over Farleigh Dickenson in December. After the 1950-51 season closed, the score-book showed 11 wins and 5 losses. From that squad we lost but one man, Ike Lorenz, who com- Pleted his cage career at NYSMC after scoring 224 polntsin his First Class year. Behind Ike came Ed PfZYbYlski with 163 points. Dick MacKessy and Leon Stoltze followed with 145 and 114 markers, fCfP0Cl1Vcly. Lorenz's average rounded out at 14 POIHIS Per game, for the team high. In 1951, Don Van Wart and Ed Przbylski were elected Co-Cap- gms- Baclfmg them up were Leon Stoltze, Sven 915911, Dick MacKessy and Al Kausch. Several pmmlsmg i'Mugs have made the squad: Al Kent, who has Proved himself quite e ball handler, Jeek Belton, and Brian MacAllister. 'The team finished the season with a record of 12 :HIS and 6 losses for a .666 percentage. The Stats Were at the hands of NYU, Adelphi, deisenslagcoopef llnlon, Brooklyn Poly, and Bran.

The Tennis team, under the direction of Dr. Gregory, has progressed to the point where they, too, will soon be among the college's winning teams. Since its inception without a court, the club has had tough going, but with promising material in the Third and Fourth Classes, an improved team will represent the College this year. In 1951, the team, captained by Don Van Wart, compiled a won-lost record of 1 and 4 with one tie, defeat- ing Concordia and losing to Hofstra, Brooklyn Techf, Wagner, and Kings Point. The tie was with Webb Institute. Returning for the 1952 season are Kidder, the number one man in 1951, Van Wart, Van Valkenburg, Engel, Farber, and Mayer. In Fall practice sessions, several Mugs,' showed con- siderable prowess on the courts and should hold down spots on the roster. Those trying for berths are Ford, Heil, Sproul, and Conway. The baseball team had its best showing in sev- eral seasons in 1951. Backed by the pitching of Hausch, Harned, and Nelson, and the consistent hitting of Delahunty, Stoltze, and MacKessy, the team had a record of 6 and 6 for the season and showed the makings of a top team in the years to come. Perhaps the most enjoyable game of the season was our last stand defeat of Iona by a 4-2 count when Stoltze singled in the winning runs with two out and the bases loaded in the final frame. Our rivals across the river came over onlY to absorb an 11-3 thumping behind the effective twirling of Kausch, our leading hurler. The team was Captained by Delahunty, first string catcher for h h' t his third season and dependable clutc llgf- D li' ' the second man at the college to captain e IS the team for two years running.

THE COLLEGE BAND The hand, in recent years, has expanded and im- proved its musical selections. Name a function and you will find the hand participating: from the jam sessions at the dorms to Anchors Aweigh from the superstructure deck of the Empire State as she slips her moorings for places over there. Morning and Admiraiis Inspec- tions, ibasicetiinaii games, concerts, and infantry Drill would not ine compiete without it. Also it is the first Schuyler organization to entertain at the Veteran Hospitals. Une of the highlights of the year is the annual hand concert given every spring.

These ships regularly speed pas- sengers and cargo to world-wide destinations . . . thus serve inter- national amity and trade. At the same time, they stand ever ready to enter the naval serv- ice as auxiliaries to protect our nation against any aggressor. Next year a great new ship will join this active fleet, -a liner with no superior among the world's most famous passenger carriers. This new ship will greatly increase our country's military preparedness. In 1952, the s.s. United States . . . largest, fastest, finest passenger liner ever built in the U.S.A., will join the s.s.
