MUGT 1 5. S ! a .A -e 5. L I I ,rx , I N tx After initial losses from the Academic Board, we plunged into the . - - ' ' the Second Semester. Along with it came blizzards, ammonia gas 1nP ventilating system, St. Patrickls Day and the Irish flag il? the fm tagon Cnot to mention the paradej, and more lifeboat mstruction with Mr. Riser. , As we painted Class of '649' on the ronof of the boatshed. at Kings Point, final exams came around, and then the best Pre-Cruise Dance we ever saw. As we wheeled and spun around.the floor, the blO1'1ClC or brunette was being replaced by our upcoming SSTP-for manl' of us a time replete with unique experiences. Turning to the Northwest off Cape Hatteras, hurricane Diane headed our way with wind and wave, driving us to the Messdeck to cast away freedoms of which we were not aware until their loss. Under the gentle prodding of Lt. Sauve, our IDO,s turned us into cadets. When the upperclass came back we became Mugs, low men on the totem pole. Life for many of us centered around gil SL 2 Hatch, or 'The Hold. The water fights, shaving cream duels, and punches thrown and received served only to form an unbroken bond of unity that has lasted four years. Throwing off the burden of enforced study in the Fort, we pro- ceeded through Academic Restriction, false fire alarms, and swim- ming parties at local bars to Christmas. We all got into the proper Yuletide spirit singing Christmas carols aroundthe Messdeck tree and further celebrated with a set of electric trains in :MQ Hatch. We revelled in delight when Bob Ca.rty's girl became the Campus Queen at the Christmas Dance. 32
