19 5 5 CLASS OF We, the class of 1955, began our Apprenticeship during 1951. For many of us it was our first time away from the atmosphere of home life. Before long we saw new faces and made many new friends. For the out-of-towners life in a dormitory was a new experience, but taking it in stride we soon became accustomed to it. Almost any night, around the dorm, one will find various groups of first year Apprentices burning the midnight oil for a “happy hour ' ’ (studying for a test), or just getting their homework done for the next day’s classes. Not many of us are from large industrial districts and most of us are unaccustomed to seeing naval and merchant ships at our doorstep. By now most of us have come to understand the system of instruc- tion and what we will have to learn in order that this new venture of ours be a successful one. H
