These words were spoken by Mr. Charles Macpherson, Principal Engineer Surveyor of Lloyd's Register of Shipping, New York. The graduation exercises were very aptly presided over by Mr. William E. Blewett, I r., President of Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. The program consisted of the invocation by Reverend James Walter Martin, I r., Pastor of Temple Baptist Church, Warwick, Virginia. Rev. Martin was a member of the Ap- prentice Class of 1938. Greetings were extended by Earl Wilson, President of the Student Body. Presentation of the Charles F. Bailey Scholarship Awards for the highest academic grades made by the Apprentice during one year of study was made by Mr. C. P. Woolwine, President of the Apprentice Alumni Association. The awards were presented to Calvin Southern, first-year Apprentice, Sidney Barrett, second-year Apprentice, and Lanier Cauley, 1956 third-year Apprentice. Mr. Woolwine also presented the Niels Christiansen Craftsmanship Awards to the graduates in each division who excelled in craftsmanship. Next he pre- sented the Homer L. Ferguson Award to Robert Lee Dame for outstanding achievement in his four-year Apprenticeship, and the G. Guy Via Award to Edward Baxter Bright for out- standing achievement in his five-year course. Next came the presentation of Gold Athletic Awards to twenty-two young men who had displayed splendid participa- tion in sports. These were given by Mr. Fairmount R. White, Director of Education and Training. He also presented the Journalism Awards to O. B. Bucklen and C. L. Morris. Then came the speaker of the evening, Mr. Charles Mac- pherson, who was introduced by Mr. Blewett. Mr. J. B. WO0dWa1'd, J r., Chairman of the Board of Direc- tors, presented the graduation certificates, after which came a short acceptance speech by O. B. Bucklen, President of the Class of 1956. The benediction was rendered by Rev. Martin which con- cluded the graduation of one hundred nineteen Apprentices. v- - .Lf 'mxniii' w ' K .V , ,wx , . nmiesvvi -isa' 1 X 1,5 2015, S mg, wma, if M A L , ae -M - W' -f H .5-as M qpprenfzbe gqcfzbzfzes ji' cgzyma The Pi Sigma Phi Fraternity is a group of young men who work together both socially and charitably. Because of these two objectives, the members are chosen very carefully. Over the past year, the Fraternity has had a most successful year. During January the Fra- ternity was asked to take charge of selling the Blue Crutches for funds to help conquer polio. The members, led by Co-chairmen R. W. Dibeler and Fred Harrell, rallied together and sold 2000. After the Blue Crutches were sold out the Fraternity organized groups to take up money at the local theaters. Then came the lVlother,s March. This was done by dividing the area into different zones and contacting various Women's Clubs to canvass them. Although not mothers themselves, the Fraternity brothers chose a zone and helped the mothers. For this work the Fraternity was honored very graciously by a banquet given in honor of the Frater- nity recognizing its work by the Newport News Exchange Club. The Fraternity not only helped in charity but also sponsored a pep rally, which was termed as the most successful one that has been given for a long time. Along with work comes en- joyment. The members hold annual socials such as a Christmas Party with a real Santa Claus, a Shipwreck Party and many other smaller socials of various but good times. Last but not least comes the work in the National Fraternity. This past year we gained some very fine honors at the National Convention. Our President, Wes Dibeler, was elected National Director of Expansion. John Coffin was honored by being the most outstanding corresponding secretary of the year. Also, the Fraternity was honored by being presented with a trophy for the most outstanding chapter of the year. These are just a few of the activities and awards of honor the Beta Chapter of Pi Sigma Phi have gained over the past year. ru ' ' H Huw H V - M H 1. r H- wut ' -. ff 'iiiQ5iE?Q?357 'L 133421: V wi 1 LCVQWVK N xxfuvfpf , M . I 1. ,A M xv-afffmggx, N9 ,X ,. we yarn smog GM ff Having the earnest desire to have a full knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ we, the members or the Apprentice Bible Study Club, join together each Tuesday night for a period of fellowship and Bible study. Our meetings include a song service, prayer, and a message direct from our storehouse of spiritual knowledge and understanding-The Bible. Knowing that 'tthe power of God unto salvation is the answer to our young people's prob- lems, we launched out into the surrounding schools in 1956. We have acted as big brothers and a transportation committee for several of the Bible Clubs now in operation on the Penin- sula in several of the schools. Most of these clubs are sponsored by the Peninsula Youth For Christ and we have worked in conjunction with that organization. Spiritual blessing and peace be to you in increasing abundance through a full knowledge of God and of Jesus, Our Lord, because His divine power has given us everything that is needful for life and piety, through our full knowledge of Him who through His glory and ex- cellence has called us to Him. It is through these that He has given us His precious and glo- rious promises, so that through them, after you have escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires, you may come to share in the divine nature. Now for this very reason you must do your level best to supplement your faith with moral character, moral character with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with patient en- durance, patient endurance with piety, piety with brotherly affection, brotherly affection with universal love. For if you have these qualities and they continue to increase in you, they will make you neither idle nor unproductive in attainment. Let us remember to H. . . serve Him flesus Christj without fear, in Holiness and Right eousness - all the days of our life. Luke 1:74b-75 yfe 1 onoyram The Monogram Club has over thirty members, all of whom have received a letter, or let- ters, in SpO1'tS here at the Apprentice School. Lettermen who wish to become a member of the Club must express a wish to be enrolled and this is done by attending the meetings which are held once every two weeks at the Apprentice Dormitory. ' The Monogram Club functions are to promote good fellowship among the membership, not only during the season of various sports in which the members participate, but also dur- ing the whole year, to develop leaders, to promote sportsmanship, to increase School spirit, and to encourage other men to participate in at least one sport. This year, as in past years, the Monogram Club has held many social gatherings. Dances in the Dormitory are held after football games and all members of the Club are invited to par- ticipate, whether or not they play football. Last summer the Club held a Beach Party for all Apprentices at Yorktown which was a great success. The Club also purchased two trophies and presented them to the outstanding linesman and back on the 1956 football team. Club Officers this year are as follows: Alex Dishner, President, Bud Skeens, Vice Presi- dent, David Queen, Treasurer, Charlie Morris, Secretary, and John Burns, Sponsor. The Monogram Club is fortunate in having the above officers to guide its activities and anticipates another successful year. il si---: j X - . n-var 1 1 J-,ss M QUE- -, ' , M gum, , ,,,J.5'!i -tijrggsjjwlL gtSQ?4.W Hi ,f1'ia, H.lg.lll- V. nag, ga-f.-serum H fi p'gfjt,'g,sggf,tEqtv -tit gt ','il1,-'Leith . i qi - t ' 1 sa - , - 2:1 ' iff sig 4 L W ,A.v,A.v,A.. , .5-, - L-,1 -Qi gnu w w w I Nw . x , x 9 .F Q lil.. 4' 'I..1'5fT f f 'i ,Q N -Jn: 1' ,.....-- 'Tu 'N ,-,.L....- fng,M.isa.W, 'I ff ' W , w u fn ' 1, ' ' siiliiiw: ,. 5-iqfi' ,, ilmw W .Wg w Q N, ,, um , ,m, ' 1.4.6 ..

The length of Apprenticeship may be stated briefly as follows: For designers, it is five years, for shop trades, it is four years. All Apprentices are required to attend classes in re- lated instruction for the first three years at their regular rates of pay. A11 Apprentices work the Company Week. Recreational activities are optional but encouraged. The Apprentice School has a nice gym, and the students participate in the four major sports which are football, track, basket- ball, and baseball. Then there is the House League for basketball and softball, in which most of the students take part. Social events include club dances sponsored by the Monogram Club, the Explorer Sea Scouts, and the Pi Sigma Phi Fraternity. The Student Body also sponsors dances through- out the year, with the big one being the Spring Formal which is backed up with a name band. The majority of the Student Body lives in the Dormitory which has a cafeteria and a nice lounge with television. At the end of his Apprenticeship, the student receives a bonus of one hundred dollars and an engraved certificate with a photostatic reproduction of this testimonial in pocket size upon presenting himself for formal graduation at the commencement exercises which are held in January. , 1,,, yfe Qgprfh One of the most elaborate affairs backed by the Apprentice School is the Spring Formal. The Spring Formal is usually held in the month of May at the Hotel Chamberlin. The 1956 dance was one of the most suc- cessful held in recent years. The girls, arrayed in their splendid dresses and escorted by uscraped down and Hcovered overv Appren- tice boys, made one feel like dancing without any music. We had music, though, which was very capably rendered by Claude Thornhill and his dance band. The big dance was preceded by an in- formal affair held Friday night at the Dormi- tory. Eddie Travis supplied the music. 01722 G A concert was held in the early afternoon of the Hbig affairf' This gives the students and their dates a chance to see the things to come later in the night. The Roof Garden of the Chamberlin was packed with a capacity crowd. There was at no time a laxity of' participation as the dance- able notes rang the rafters. The petite misses kept the handsome gents dancing to the music as best they could. The Queen and her court were chosen by a panel of judges. The Queen was Miss Joane Flint, escorted by Mr. Fred Johnson. The court consisted of Miss Eilene Cahill, escorted by Mr. Harold Walke1', Miss Phyllis Yost, es- corted by Mr. Marvin Parker, and Miss Joy Mangtim, escorted by Mr. Bob Uliver. The sponsors were Miss Jane Dibble and Mrs. Colleen Everett. ' H. H ,. ,, :WY 2 ,Q S' f .g f 'N -- W,-N 'fvwz'w ' f K M if , X , 5- 'S r w u -3. 1 Y H 41 Sfg ' vi, ., ' ,EJ E xvgkgywwmmw www!

The party is held each year for the kids on the Peninsula who have not had an excellent ad- vantage in their homes to see a true expression of Christmas. Money for gifts is received from Apprentices and Apprentice graduates who have the de- sire to give that others may enjoy the fruits of their giving. There were approximately one hundred children at the party ranging in age from five to thirteen. The party was a great success. Fun was had by all, and there were gifts, fruits, and candy for those who were on hand. The visitation of Santa fflurleyj was a very happy occasion for the kids. M-X.

DeWitt Cooke proved to be what was needed to produce the kicks for a perfect dance, which was held on the night of December 15, 1956. The Original Club was decorated moderately but distinctly in accordance with the Christ- mas season. The girls were in their sweet attaire, the lights were to a point of dimness, and in the background could be heard the melodious strains of a Well-performing band. With all this, everyone had to agree that such a good time should not be missed by anyone. tn, i yfe Sea coufs The Sea Scout Ship 309 was organized in March 1956. The charter was given to the New- port News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company Apprentice School S. O. S. 303 on April 30, 1956. The ship was named the Flying A. In the early spring, the ship went to Camp Okee to make repairs on the camp for the com- ing summer camp. A few weeks later the ship went on a canoeing outing at Camp Okee. In July the ship went to Oregon Inlet, North Carolina, and spent the weekend with the Coast Guard. While with the Coast Guard, the members pulled duty and went on tours of the different stations. Later in the summer the ship was host to a group of scouts from England. This included a tour of the Shipyard and dinner at the Dormitory. The Shipyard gave the ship a twenty-man lifeboat as its first boat. After a complete re- construction job, it was ready for the water. In September the members started taking a course in Rules of the Road. This course was given free to the public by the Hampton Power' -Squadron. The main event of last year for the ship was the Explorers Ball given at the Original Club. This dance was presented for the Explorers on the Peninsula. w ,Q 4 n n ' f i J' K 1 w 1 4 ri 'Y , .4- ,W 3, ,Lf if If TH f wx, Q, - f Q5 5 A '-W' Anln : .

The Lower Peninsula is well known for its contribution to the World of faith. Here can be found churches of Worship for practically every faith recognized by the followers of Christ. It is an inspiration indeed to be able to see the churches that have been built here during the passing years for those who desire a place to worship as they see fit. ur OICQ The ability to worship as one desires is a tradition here in America. In countries that have been dominated by oppressive rulers, freedom of faith is not known. In fact, no freedom is known. Our churches send their steeples into the sky and prove to be the backbone of the Free World. Kwppren fz MISS ADELAIDE NEWSOM I I MRS.

AKERS Class Edztor Editor m Clue Business Manager In presenting the 1956 Binnacle, it is the desire of the staff to record some of the ac- tivities of the students throughout the year so that they may bring back happy memories in future years of the Apprentice School days. One of the major problems confronted by the staff was the lack of experienced workers to serve on the staff. This had to be overcome by the desire to learn how and an interest in the yearbook. A meeting was called to find how many students were interested in working on the staff of the Yearbook. The boys responded to the notice and a number of energetic and willing Apprentices turned out to help. From this group, Douglas R. Comer was elected as Editor-in-Chief. Larry Akers was the man to hold the position of Business 1956 Manager. The job of Class Editor was ac- cepted by W. C. Knox. Earl Wilson was elected Feature Editor with Donald Steppe serving as his capable assistant. Another job which called for lots of work was the sports section. Bud Skeens was Editor with Buddy Childress and Leroy Turner help- ing greatly. Sid Barrett was our Photographic man and he did a good job of supplying us with pic- tures. Others who helped on the work were Tal Hardy, James Martz, Kenny Cullers, John Swicegood, and J. F. Sykes. The Staff wishes to thank Miss ,lane Dibble and Mrs. Colleen Everett for their Work in helping collect material and in doing the typing, the photography staff of the Ship- yard, and others who helped to make this year- book possible. gfe yjroaof gf C.

Second row: Jim Healy, Kenny Selfe, Jerry Prescott, Jim Brown, Wally Reynolds. First row: Glenn Nelson, Mickey Neubaum, Bud Skeens. The Apprentice Basketball team, under the tutelage of Coach Willie Warren, struggled through a tough schedule and emerged victorious in eight out of sixteen contests. The Builders were defeated their first five out of six games but zoomed back to Win seven out of ten of their remaining games. After the slow start by the Apprentice, Coach Warren finally got his squad working to- gether. Led by Forwards Glenn Nelson and Mickey Neubaum, Center Jerry Prescott, and Guards Bud Skeens and Roy Young, the visitors began to succumb to the improved Appren- tice. The first Win of the season came at the hands of Shenandoah Junior College. Led by Neubaum with 23 points, Skeens with 22, and Prescott and Nelson with 14 each, the A's ran away with the Hornets 81-57. A11 this happened on unlucky Friday, the thirteenth. The Apprentice squad twice broke the century mark. Both contests were with lVl.C.V. The A's poured through 106 points on the home floor and 104 points in the Y.lVl.C.A. building in Richmond. The most thrilling games of the season were with R.P.1. The A's won both games 87 to 26 and 82 to 78. Glenn Nelson was the leading scorer for the A's with 20.6. Prescott was second with 16, Neubaum third with 12.9, and Skeens fourth with 11.3. Considering the slow start, the Builders closed the season playing excellent ball. .0 Sw E Q? ,J N WSE! Wigs qw I .

The Builders football squad, about sixty strong, started practice on August 20, 1956, to begin a season that will be long remembered by every man who participated in this sport of umenf' The boys soon dropped out and we were left with about thirty men who wanted to play football. Due to inexperience and injuries, what had seemed at first a successful year for the Builders was finished with only a 1-7 record. This record does not show the effort and spirit that was put into the game by both the players and coaches throughout the season. We lost the first game to a powerful Lenoir-Rhyne team that ran the usingle-wing as if they had invented it. The score was 67-0. We made a much better showing against a strong Elon eleven as they won by a pleasant score of 53-7. For the first twenty minutes of the game, we held the Elon Club to only one touchdown, but the depth of their team was too much for our men and after a valiant stand for the first twenty minutes, Elon ran wild. The following week brought us into our class and our fine defensive team held Randolph- Macon to a 14-0 decision over us. October 7 brought a giant team from the hills of West Virginia to the Apprentice Athletic Field where our defensive team went forth to prove the old theory-the bigger they are, the harder they fall-but we couldn't get our offense rolling and Shepherd whipped us 18-7. We traveled to Murfreesboro, North Carolina, on October 14 to play Chowan College and were plagued by injuries again. Our lack of depth and their speed demons made a combina- tion that defeated us 19-13. Another smaller but faster team from West Virginia came to Newport News the follow- ing week and West Virginia Tech handed us our sixth defeat by a score of 39-0. On October 18, history was made. We won our first game of the '56 campaign by crush- ing a Ferrum College eleven 18-0. Collins passed to Bayfield for the first score from the short-punt formation, which we decided to use in place of the T, It proved its effective- ness by piling up a total of 336 yards rushing. The second TD came when Bayfield plowed for seven yards after Dibeler covered a Ferrum fumble on their seven-yard line. Bristol slashed for 21 yards off right tackle for the final touchdown. The defensive team proved their weight in gold by completely stopping the Ferrum team. On November 3, we traveled to Bridgewater, Virginia for the final game to play the Bridgewater College Eagles. We played that game in rain and mud and with very few ex- perienced men left to play due to more injuries. Every man played his heart out but Bridge- water came out on the top side of a 28-0 score.

The team was composed of a large number of boys who were willing to play football. There was a total of twenty-one participating during the season. The first game was with Chowan. This game was found to be a very hard one as soon as the boys went on the field. Chowan came out on top 13-7 as the score. The next game was with Randolph-Macon. This was a tough game all the way with a late fourth-quarter touchdown by Randolph-Macon to edge out the Builders 7-0. In the coming year a five-game schedule is anticipated. Next year looks like a promising year as this year was the first year for John Burns and his J. V. Football team.

The Apprentice track team opened a losing schedule this year with a meet with Randolph- Macon. Randolph-Macon, featuring a near one-man team in Charley Nuttycombe taking five first places, defeated the A's 83 1X2 to 38 2X 3. Wes Dibeler, for the Shipbuilders, was the only man to cop more than one victory. Other point men for the A's were Thomas, Gilliam, Cook, Harrison, Robertson, Robinson, Skeens, Andrews, Brown, Goodson, and Glover. r- in te , - ,---A.-:g-gg ff?-if L Li .

The A's had several men unable to make the trip and dash man Skeens was injured in the broad jump and did not enter the dashes. The Braves shattered five alumni field records and won lil out of l5 events outright. William and Mary handed the Apprentice their third defeat 84 1X3 to 37 2f3. The Di- vision was sparked by Baxter Berryhill who broke the two mile record of last year set by 0. B. Bucklen of the shipbuilders. Cook of the Ais finished second to Berryhill in the one mile run to add three more points to the A's score. Gilliam and Dick tied for third place in the pole vault for the A's. Glover also picked up a third place for the A's in the high hurdles and second place in the low hurdles. The Apprentice bowed to East Carolina Teachers College as ,lim Henderson of the latter led them to victory by taking four events. The A's Buck Bucklen however took first place in the two mile run with a splendid exhibition of running skill. The builders' Wes Dibeler came through again as a double winner taking the shot put and the discus. Bud Sheens also took a first place in the broad jump. The A's cinder squad ended their '56 season with a loss to the William and Mary Braves 85 to 32. Outmanned but game the cagers had a few bright spots as Jerry Garrison took first place in the high jump and third in the broad jump to chalk up six points. Wes Dibeler too runner up spots in the shot put and discus. Dibeler was the most consistent scorer for the builders. Bob Cook took second place in both the mile and two mile run. Roger Clover for the A's took a good second in the low hurdles. Although the cagers had a losing season Coach Gordon E. fPopj Lamkin did a fine job of both coaching and keeping the fight in the squad. 4'Pop Lamkin will coach next year with the hopes and expectation of a winning season. x 1 ' ww 4' ' ',ii ,t .fi if 'ia . iy.. is t is 53 Tor' Po1NT MAKERS ,., f , Wes Dibler ............... - ............ ................ 4 1 'ii E - Q ggi: 'Q Tri., . .

The Apprentice School Shipbuilders played a seventeen-game baseball slate that included a pair of double-headers during the 1956 season. At the helm was Head Coach Johnny Burns and Assistant Art Rich. Practice was begun indoors with a 50-man squad of hopefuls. Co-captains for the season were First Baseman John Harwood and Third Baseman Russ Strider, both hitting in the .300 bracket. The best pitcher for the Shipbuilders, from a Winning standpoint, was Bill Hulin. After a slight change in schedule, due to faulty weather, the Shipbuilders met Lynchburg College at Lynchburg on April 7 in a double-header. The opener was a set-back to the Ship- builders as we were stopped by Shirley Muman on three hits. Muman was as Wild as the April winds that swept across the diamond, but the Shipbuilders couldnit hit him. 0 19.56 as fa tw, , i ' Mwkouuiiiflglim K H' 4. ' , The second game of the double-header could well he called a scorer's nightmare. A total of seven pitchers, four for the Shipbuilders and three for the losers, struggled along until darkness ended the game after only five innings of play. Healy was credited with the win of 12-10 after pitching only one and one-half innings. The fourth game closed after the Builders had rapped the Medical College of Virginia 10-7. Parrott and Conlon were credited with the win. Parrott's good pitching and Conlon's two-run double was too much for the Medicos. This win gave the Builders a three-game win- ning streak since they had defeated Richmond Professional Institute the Friday before by 5-1. Hulin hit a grand slam homer in the fifth which broke the duel between Hulin and R.P. I.'s ,lim Gleason. 'YW , 5 . in , . u ' 1 X ., L. f in L . A 11 ,,,fww,W , . M..-ul l u I r. l .W I29 1 I-I HOUSE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS-Pipe Department Year after year, the House League has answered the desires of the Apprentices for com- petitive recreation. This year was no exception. The opening of basketball season found the teams practicing and tuning up on the hardwood floor. This year the League was composed of eight teams. They represented the Pipe Depart- ment, Engine Drawing Room, Hull Drawing Room, Fitter-Boilermakers, Electricians, Ap- prentice Machine Shop, Sheet Metal Department and the Machine Shops. The schedule for these teams divided into two halves. There were ten games to each half. At the end of this schedule each team participated in an elimination play-off to determine the championship team. Each team was given equal opportunity to become the champs. Under this system it was possible for a team to finish the regular season in first place and still not be the champions of the League. The play-off was what counted. Last year, however, the team which finished Non top in the regular season also won the deciding play-off. That team was the Pipe Department. They ended the season with a commendable 18 and 2 rec- ord. The runner-up team was the Engine Drawing Room, 14-6, and the Hull Drawing Room finished third with a 13 and 7 record. In the elimination play-off the Pipe Department came through with 'cflying colors and won the championship. ln the final game of the play-off, they romped over the Engine Drawing Room by a score of 72 to 46. The consolation game was won by the Eitter-Boiler- makers over the Hull Drawing Room 46 to 33. It has been said, jokingly, of course, that the House League games were played in blood. And true, as sometimes they were a little bitn rough. However, this was just the fruits of the keen competitive spirit with which each one played the game. They played for fun, but they played to win one way or another and sometimes it was the other. It was this spirit which caused some games to be real nthrillersv with the outcome decided in the last few seconds. In the final analysis, whether they won or lost, each boy who played enjoyed every minute of it, and each would agree that it would be a very dull time of the year if it wasn't for the fine intramural basketball that the House League provides.

The Apprentice Gallery couldn't do as good, as they had a 2 and 6 first half, and a 2 and 6 second half to Wind up, with a 5 and 13 record. Neither team made the playoffs.
