Q' me 1 x THIRD CLASS T EAR Back from our Mug Cruise, we saw the fresh mou indicating definite progress on the new dorms. We became Third ' of us a Classmen and were called S1r', by the Mugs-for SOITIC startling experience. Continuing the process of change, 3 Meterology was created and the engineers thought of becoming Nucs. Kings Point bore the brunt of two raids. One saw the raising of a ' Th next time, flag bearing the legend Down with Kings Point. e the fla couldn't be raised and the small pieces of the halyard S were scattered at the base of the flagpole. A well organized sys- tem of food runs by the Mugs was squashed as Col. Seery inter- cepted a shipment. For a week the Mugs met with the First Class to discuss their particular problems. We took our final exams, went through another Pre-Cruise Week with stores, the chain, the bilges etc., and looked wistfully at the dorms hoping that somehow they would be ready for us when we rettimed in September. ith , 36

ECO D CLASS CRUI E As Second Classmen, the Deckies found themselves su- pervising scrubdown and being JOOD and Asst. Navigator, while the Engineers found themselves with even more time to spend in the sun. Stopping first in Malaga, we amused ourselves stealing the tri-conored hats from the police, drinking Johnny Walker Red at about 306 a shot, going to Gibralfaro, and making the trip down to Gibralter. Those of us who took the trip to Granada and the Alhambra Palace will re- member some beautiful sights. We barely got out of the harbor with several emergency bells, and made the run to Genoa. Ah Genoa, Ah Rome! The Eternal City holds a magnetic attraction for many of us. The Vatican, Quirinal Palace, Spanish Steps, and the Coliseum are all very beautiful sights and places never to be forgotten. Leaving Genoa, and passing through a stormy Bay of Biscay, we tied up in the amazing port of Rotterdam- the biggest port in Europe. VVhat with the Heinekins beer parties, Dutch bowling alleys, the Euromast, and the gen- eral atmosphere of the historical old meeting the gleaming new, we throve and with great regret left to go north to the land of the Vikings. Norway-a country filled with beauty in both its people and terrain. We were never at a loss for something to do. The people of all age groups struck us with their vigor and handsomeness and, like the Danes, they gave us a very warm reception from the City Hall to Frogner Park. Com- ing down from up North, there was little chance to work up any sort of a tan, and we arrived in New York compar- atively pale against the city dwellers. ri' - W 1 X nc 9 nigh V 'p.
