Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1953 volume:

The Apprentice School of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company at Newport News Virginia Published by the Student Body Lyndon Earl Holloman Editor-in-Chief Norwood Ashley Barnes Business Manager The Binnacle For Nineteen Fifty - Three Dedication We, the staff of the } 53 BINNACLE, would like to dedicate this ninth volume of the BINNACLE to Mr. John J. Carvil. Mr. Carvil was not only an alumnus and instructor but also a true gentleman. Those of us who had the privilege to know and come in contact with Mr. Carvil will long remember him. Therefore it is with the utmost and sincerest humility that we ded- icate this volume to Mr. John J . Carvil. ■ Foreword The staff of the 1953 BINNACLE here- by presents the result of a year’s work in the hope that our product will be worthy of the students who made it possible. We hope that on the following pages of this, the ninth issue of THE BINNACLE, the events of the past year are faithfully recorded. The preceding year has been one of many events and this tabloid is designed to record your activities so that you will always have a chance to recall a part of your apprenticeship. The basic purpose of the 1953 BINNA- CLE is to give a measure of pleasure to its viewers. This “log” has been a source of hard work and pleasure to the staff mem- bers, and we present this, the 1953 BIN- NACLE, to you; may you receive as much pleasure and enjoyment from it as we did. Since we are learning to build ships, we have presented our story chronologically and have used a theme of the progression of the building of a sloop in keeping with our chosen profession.

HICKEY is As- sistant Director of Education and Training and has been on the staff of the Apprentice School since 1928. He attended the Ap- prentice School and completed his apprenticeship as a Pattern- maker. FAIRMOUNT R. WHITE is Director of Education and Train- ing and has been associated with the Apprentice School for twen- ty-four years. He attended the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, Virginia, and the American University at Beaune, France. Admin istra tion The desire to provide an adequate force of skilled labor for the future is the moti- vating power behind the Apprentice School. The administration of the school functions in accordance with policies set down by the company, and derives direct financial aid from the company. A coordinated relationship between school and shop management establishes a major uniformity of ideas in determining the policies and nature of a complete training program. Thus, it can be realized that the fore- most aim of the Apprentice School is in the achievement of results through the thorough and exact training imparted to each individual. The administrators and faculty mem- bers are well qualified, both by educational background and training to educate and supervise the students enrolled as Appren- tices, and to assist them in preparing to take their places in American industry upon the completion of their period of ap- prenticeship. 8 JACK C.

This continues throughout the first three years of their course. The fourth and final year is devoted to practical application in the shop of the theories and practices learned in the class- rooms. Here is a typical scene in the Hull Drawing Room. Apprentices with excellent grades during their first year are given an opportuni- ty to transfer to one of the many drafting rooms, and their course is then extended to a five-year period instead of the usual four. Boys assigned to drafting rooms attend classes in advanced mathematics five days per week for a period of time since their en- deavors in the field of planning and layout require a more thorough knowledge of figures, angles, stresses and strains. This is a scene in another of the many drawing rooms at the shipyard. Here, in the Engineering Division, many of the finer and more intricate phases of ships design and layout are placed on paper so that the men in the shops can correctly carry out the ideas of the designers of some of America’s finest ships. mi L ' -a -J ' TT 1 I 2 3 i 5 6 7 t 8 0 10 n O O |4 11 J 31 On the Diamond The Apprentice Baseball Team, under the tutelage of Coach John Burns, had a very successful season by winning eight games and losing two. Thus the Appren- tice record of never having a losing season in baseball since reorganizing in 1948 still stands. The As opened the season in fine fash- ion by beating Medical College of Virginia by a score of 9-1. Haskins’ 3-hit pitching and the hitting of Corson and Strider led the way for their victory. The victorious ways of the A ' s continued as they beat Wilson Teachers 11-9 in their second game. The A ' s suffered their first loss at the hands of Chowan College, 5-3, in their third game. The season ' s record for the A ' s was lev- eled off as Randolph-Macon overpowered them 12-2 in the fourth game. After suffering two straight losses the A ' s got back on the victory path with a 7-3 win over W. M. Division and con- tinued on to end the season by winning six straight games. These wans came over Medical College of Virginia, 18-17; R.P.I., 11-1; W. M. Norfolk Division, 11-6; Chowan, a team they lost to earlier, 3-0; and R.P.I. again, 13-3.

Our Track Squad Lack of depth was one of the primary contributing factors as “Granny” Gresh- am’s cinder men went through their second consecutive winless season, losing three dual meets and placing third in a tri-angu- lar meet. In the first meet of the year, the A’s played host to a powerful aggregation from Catholic University and were never in the meet after the 4th event as they lost by a score of 80-42. In their second meet the A’s traveled to Williamsburg where they held the Indians of W M in close rein until the last few events before falling far behind and losing by the score of 7 1 -49. Next the cinder men traveled to Nor- folk where the superior depth of the Di- vision team had a telling effect and our team went down to their 3rd successive defeat, 72-50. In their last meet of the season the A’s played host to the W. M. Division team and Hampton-Sydney in a triangular meet. The A’s jumped to a quick lead but could not hold it and wound up on the short end of the score. The Division finish- ed first with 63 2 points, followed by Hampton-Sydney with 47 2 and the A’s with 37. 35 Richard I. Brumback President Okley B. Bucklen Secretary-T reasurer Student Board of Directors Only as a result of the continuous ener- gies and efforts set forth by industrious ap- prentices, have we attained a higher for- mat of self-government. Diligence is the embodiment of the Student Board of Di- rectors of the Apprentice School, and therein lies the essential element of success of the organization. Through keen observ- ance of rules and procedure the students have not only established a thorough gov- erning body, but have gained much in pro- ducing an essential tie of unity throughout the school. In effect, the constituted pow- ers of the Student Board of Directors shall encompass the election of officers, the en- actment of any by-laws or rules conferred by the constitution, the appointment of committees, the chartering of school clubs or societies, and the appointment of vacan- cies to the Student Board of Directors. Presiding officers of the Student Board of Directors consist of the President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer. The tenure of any of these offices is the comple- tion of one school year, and in order to hold either position of president or vice presi- 36 dent, a student must have completed two years of his apprenticeship and have main- tained a scholastic grade above average in shop as well as class work for this period. Delegates and alternates are elected by popular vote within their respective de- partments. Election for officers of the Stu- dent Board of Directors is conducted an- nually at the beginning of each school year by popular vote of the Student Body. An Apprentice may, through proper rep- resentation of his department, become a member of the Student Board of Directors at any period during his apprenticeship. Nominations for any office are generally submitted by petition and the final vote is taken by ballot. All members of the Stu- dent Body are eligible to vote in every election, thus utilizing the constituted right established by our forefathers. Front row, left to right: E. R. Neubaum, F. A.

Ar- rangements were made for a band stand to be erected at one end of the gym floor while at the other end of the floor was a realistic water scene, complete with sail boats stretching from wall to wall. Dim overhead lights illuminated the dance floor while the lighting effect in the wings of the gym consisted of a glowing candle on ' each table. Mrs. Pullen presided at the refreshment table, assisted by members of the student committee. 38 Informal Snaps All of the above scenes are from a most pleasant evening spent at our Spring Dance. Everyone seems to be having a grand time. Mark Smith and his lovely date in the upper left photo were surprised by the photographer. Herman Griggs and the missus danced all evening. The boys in the center did a swell job on the decorations, and the two lower photos are further evidence of our response to good music. 39 Freshmen . . . The Class of ’57 40 E. G. Adams S. A. Ball D.

Zirkle 45 47 In the Pattern Shop, wooden models are made of the various parts, so that moulds may be then made for the preparation of cast- ings. In the Apprentice Gallery, those boys who w ill become Ma- chinists. learn the basic functions and uses of small machinery as the ground work for their event- ual progression to larger and more intricate machines. In the Sheet Metal Shop, the Apprentice learns about the construction of cabinets, furniture, ducts, and many other uses of tin and other sheet metals, as well as the handling of the various ma- chines used in this shop. Pipe fitting, threading, and bending are only a few of the many phases of pipefitting an appren- tice becomes familiar with in this fully-equipped Pipe Shop. 49 Here in the Mold Loft the pre- liminary lines of the new ships are laid out to full size of the Mold Loft floor. Also many tem- plates, both paper and wood, are constructed here to aid the other departments in their work. Here in the Foundry ' much sweat and rough, hard work is required to make all of the many castings from molten metal which are required in the construction of the various ships throughout the Yard. The Electrical Shop is where the Apprentice learns the rudi- ments of electricity and its uses in and around the Shipyard. The repair and rewinding of motors is one of the first things an ap- prentice learns about in the main- tenance part of this shop. Apprentices may spend up to several months in the Welding School in order that they become thoroughly familiar with the proper welding procedures and and the correct use of the equip- ment. This is a very important step in his training, since weld- ing plays a large part in the con- struction of a ship. Front, left to right: Frishkorn, Sebra, Hurst, Hargrave, Gaylor. Back: Church.

JOE WEBB Coach Softball The Apprentice softball team experi- enced one of their worst years in the Ship- yard Softball League in 1953. The A’s finished in 5th place in the first half standings with a record of 4 wins and 4 losses and repeated in fifth place in the second half with a record of 4 and 7. They also wound up in 5th place in the final standing with a total record of 8 wins and 1 1 losses and missed out getting in the play- offs by one place. 52 J- V Baseball The Apprentice J. V.’s, though not playing extraordinary ball, did finish the year on the big end of a 10-8 won and lost record in the Shipyard Baseball League. The J. V.’s finished the first half in 4th place with a 6 and 4 record, repeated in 4th place in the second half with a 4 and i record and also placed 4th in the final standings with their 10 and 8 record. In the play-offs the J. V.’s lost 2 straight to the top-seeded Pipe Coverers, who went on to win the championship. 1 ARTHUR RICH Coach ' I Front row, left to right: Bruce Clark, Pete Squires, N. A.

Apprentice Bible Study Club Organized in the summer of 1952, the Apprentice Bible Study Club was inaug- urated with the prime purpose of offering a spiritual outlet for the student body of the Apprentice School. Since its beginning the interdenominational Christian group has grown from 8 to 25 in membership. Quali- fications to join the Bible Study Club are specified in its constitution which was drawn up soon after its beginning and passed by the Student Board of Directors. Basically the Club’s motto, “We shall all strive in one accord for the Glory of God by the grace of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ,” fully expresses the meetings conducted once a week. Included in the evening get-togethers are the singing of Christian hymns and testimonies, high- lighted with a devotional message by a lo- cal minister, layman or Christian worker. Films on missions, evangelism and the Christian life are also featured. The governmental structure of the Ap- prentice Bible Study Class is headed by a chairman, vice-chairman, secretary-treas- urer, and a song leader, each of whom change office every quarter at the vote of its members. 56 57 The Apprentices Relax As June approaches and summer is on its way, the prospective brides are not the only happy people, for after nine months of school work we, too, are happy to welcome the month of June and vaca- tion time. 58 Apprentices are quite fortunate in having a large dormitory and cafeteria to serve them. Above are a few snapshots showing mem- bers of the dormitory staff at work keeping things in order and mak- ing “our home away from home” more comfortable and enjoyable.

HAMPTON, VIRGINIA I On The Gridiron The Apprentice Varsity Football Team played a schedule of seven games in 1953 and though failing to win a game they dis- played the courage, determination, good sportsmanship and will-to-win typical of all Apprentice teams. The players turned out enthusiastically both for spring practice and the regular season and under the capa- ble coaching of our new head coach, Frank Masters, were shaped into a fine team. The team was composed of twelve returning lettermen and they received very able as- sistance from fifty other fine prospects who worked hard for a position on the team. Due to the lack of experience and bad breaks the team could not come through with an effective scoring thrust. On nu- merous occasions the team would move in- side the opponent’s ten yard line, but fail- ed to have that final surge of power need- ed to make the touchdown. Although dropping every game, each man gained a keener understanding of sportsmanship and team work and should be commended for their devotion to the school and the team.

Hampden-Syd- ney’s powerized running game struck early in the first quarter, stalled through a fum- ble-packed second and climaxed an 18-0 victory over an inexperienced Apprentice team. The A ' s, playing their first game be- hind the new quarterback, Pat Phillips, couldn ' t seem to click on the offense and could not stave off the attack of the power- ful Tiger offense. The first home appearance of the season for the Apprentice was spoiled by a belated explosion in the opening minutes of the sec- ond half by Randolph Macon. The Yellow Jackets gathered two tallies in the first two minutes of the second half and went on to hand the A’s their second blanking of the season. A determined Apprentice line battled Bridgewater College off its feet for two quarters before the Eagles pushed across a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to hand the A’s a 6-0 defeat. The A ' s best scoring chance came in the closing minutes of the second half but time ran out before they could score. The William and Mary Freshmen did all their scoring in the first half as they earned a 13-0 victory over the Apprentice School gridders. Mel Davis was the big gun in the “A’s” gallant comeback in the second half as they tried to get their of- fensive machine clicking. When it looked like the A’s might score, a fumble or inter- cepted pass always seemed to intervene. The Apprentice met Shephard College for the Homecoming game of the season, but once more their hopes were shattered as they fumbled away their chances to score and dropped the fifth game, 15-0. The Apprentice broke into the scoring column for the first time against Wilson Teachers College, but dropped the game, 24-7.

Cheerleaders All Apprentices owe a special vote of thanks to our cheerleaders. Their job is too often a thankless one but they never stopped in their efforts to promote better spirit among the spectators at the games. We are especially grateful to the charming Riverside Student Nurses who volunteered their services as Cheerleaders.

Our Yearbook In each job much work is required to not only finish the task but to produce the finest result pos- sible. That is what the staff of the 1953 BIN- NACLE hopes they have done with this volume. The hours of work here were many, with most of the job being done at night. The staff was headed by L. E. Holloman, Edi- tor-in-Chief. Other heads were N. A. Barnes, Business Manager; C. L. Smith, Class Editor; R. J. Whitley, Feature Editor; O. B. Bucklen, Sports Editor; C. J. Lewis, Art Editor, and M. A. Jones, Photographer. Especially do we thank Colleen Everett as sponsor. Many others have had a hand in this job and without their help, the annual would not have been possible. Space does not permit the listing of all the boys who have helped, but they can rest assured their help was welcomed and appreciated. L. E. Holloman, Editor-in-Chief J. C. Smith, Advisor 79 Our Fall Dance As fall arrives and football season opens, everyone gets in the mood for dancing. Follow ing each home game we had an in- formal dance at the Dormitory where we all gathered to discuss the highlights and lowlights of the game. Music for dancing was furnished by many of the famous bands of the land. These bands were heard from recordings turned by the juke-box. So what? We still had a great time. For our homecoming dance held at the Original Club, music was furnished by a small local orchestra. Refreshments for the dances held at the dormitory were in charge of Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Brittingham, man- ager and house mother, respectively. 80 Fall Snapshots 1 The Ipana Smile. 2 The Embarrassed Look! 3 Oh!

Twen- ty-four years ago, as these lines are writ- ten, Archer Milton Huntington envisaged a non-profit educational institution intend- ed to help make America sea-minded. It was to comprise a nautical museum, to- gether with an artificial lake and a park for the preservation of local flora and fauna. The Museum ' s purpose is clearly stated by the inscription on the bronze doors at the entrance, which reads as follows: “This Museum is Devoted To The Culture Of The Sea and Its Tributaries — Its Con- quest By Man And Its Influence On Civil- ization. The growth of the Mariners Museum may be directly attributed to the experi- ence and wisdom of Archer M. Hunting- ton, who has built and placed in operation a number of other museums. Thus the Ornamental lions guarding the bridge en- trance to the museum. Monument commemorating Collis Pot- ter Huntington located on the grounds. founder set down succinctly the principles which have so successfully guided us to the present. And he so planned with the thought that any reasonable requests for information about the sea could be met through the Museum ' s resources. Its location near Newport News was in- fluenced by the fact that the Hampton Roads area is essentially a shipbuilding and sea-going community where modern ships of peace and war may be seen, and where the history of ships and sailors can, there- fore, best be studied. To this end, the man- agement. through a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees has been vested in those having professional interest in shipbuild- ing and in ship operation. The BINNACLE staff wishes to thank the personnel of the Museum library for furnishing us with the afore-stated infor- mation and the accompanying pictures. r . Tr ff ■M 4m gif TT - 4 5sl4!

Using Coach Lam- kin ' s brand of fast moving basket- ball, the Apprentice team compiled an amazing average of 81.2 points per game and at the end of the sea- son were ranked nationally by a na- tional survey board on basketball. The nucleus of the team was formed around the starting five which consisted of Guard Billy Cas- tclow, a fine defensive man who could also shoot from any posi- tion, Guard Bob Lincoln, the floor general with a very accurate one- hand push shot, Center Billy “Bones ' ' Haskins, an excellent re- bounder with a fine hook shot, Forward Philip “Flip” Allen, a most deceptive little man who con- stantly stole the ball, and Forward Roy Cowley, also a fine rebounder and a hard man to stop under the basket. The reserves also proved to be very capable and contributed much in making a successful sea- son. Standing, front: Coach “Pop Lamkin. Kneeling, left to right: O. D. Trammell.

Here is some real fancy jump- ing, all of which will eventually lead up to 2 more points for the A’s. 93 Bob Lincoln Guard Jim Beck Guard INDIVIDUAL SCORING AVERAGES Games F.G. F.T. T.P. Avg.

In their first game the As couldn ' t get moving right and lost to the Norfolk Division by a score of 66- 61. They bounced back in the second game and outclassed the University of Richmond J.V.’s to the tune of 88-54. Then the Cag- ers dropped two in a row, to the Norfolk Naval Base by the score of 87-65 and a real close one to the Yorktown Naval Base by a score of 85-83. Afte r that the A ' s won four games in a row before dropping another. They down- ed Wilson Teachers 96-85 in overtime, romped over the W M J.V.’s to the tune of 72-44; defeated R.P.I. 87-65 and downed Wilson again 73-61. Their streak was broken when Medical College of Vir- ginia came from behind and trimmed the A’s, 94-90. The A ' s then proceeded to win 3 in a row, gaining revenge on the Yorktown Naval Base team by a score of 82-69, up- setting Norfolk Naval Base, 90-71, to avenge another loss and repeating a win over the University of Richmond J.V.’s by the score of 80-68. This streak ended when Randolph-Macon turned back the A’s, 79-70. Again the A’s won three in a row, this time downing the W M J.V.’s 98-86, top- ping the Medical College, 88-84, to avenge still another loss and again taking the measure of R.P.I to the tune of 87-68. Hampton-Sydney was the spoiler this time, topping the A ' s 85-72. The Apprentice Cagers closed their schedule by beating Westinghouse, 75-66, and reversing a previous loss by downing Norfolk Division by a score of 85-61. 94 APPRENTICE VARSITY BASKETBALL RECORD Apprentice Opponent 61 William and Mary-Norfolk Division 88 University of Richmond J.

The Annual Christmas Party The Apprentices held their second annu- al Children’s Christmas Party on Friday, December 11, 1953, at the Athletic Build- ing. Each Apprentice contributed to the funds which provided the means for the purchasing of gifts and goodies for the children. Each Apprentice was responsi- ble for a group of children and provided transportation for them to and from the party. There was a showing of movies which included “The Night Before Christmas” and “Mighty Mouse”. Mr. F. Malloy, a magician, performed for the group and held the children spellbound. Stergin lead the group in singing Christmas Car- ols; some of the children rendered solos and duets. The room echoed with their sinking when all of a sudden the sound of sleigh bells was heard. A hush of silence fell around the children and in came Santa, played by “Bug Eye” Eden, with a hearty laugh and his pack full of gifts and goodies for each child. The Apprentices knew that their mis- sion had been accomplished when they saw the happy expressions on each little face as they said goodnight. ?8 The Pi Phi Fraternity The Pi Phi Fraternity was organized in Rochester, New York, on October 10, 1878, at the Rochester Free Cults Academy. Nineteen members decided to band them- selves together for the promotion of their social aspirations and the advancement of their well formed and firm friendships. For three years Pi Phi prospered in Rochester, and word of its fame was rapidly spread- ing throughout the land. Soon applica- tions from many schools were received for membership, and in September, 1881, the Charter was granted, and Pi Phi started on its road to national fame. Today’s mem- bership is some twelve-thousand as compar- ed to that original nineteen brothers to whom we owe thanks. Pi Phi today has the distinction of being the oldest national secondary fraternity in continuous existence, never having been inactive since that day in 1878, despite wars and depressions. Pi Phi also has the oldest fraternity house in existence today, located at the New York Military Acade- my. Our Chapter, Gamma Zeta, was form- ed in July 1948, by a group of Apprentices who thought that the functions of the fra- ternity would increase brotherhood and friendship. Gamma Zeta has many social events during the year such as Christmas parties, Valentine’s Day Parties, Installation Ban- quet, Founders’ Day Banquet, Halloween parties, dinner meetings, beach and bowl- ing parties.

The gym was beautiful- ly decorated in bright Christmas colors and the fine music and delightful refresh- ments combined to make a pleasant eve- ning and a fine start for an enjoyable holi- day. 100 Cold Weather Snapshots No rocks in those snowballs . . .
