United States Merchant Marine Academy - Midships Yearbook (Kings Point, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 430 of the 1953 volume:

not printed at government expense 1 “The rocky ledge runs far into the sea, And on its outer point, some miles away, The Lighthouse lifts its massive masonry, A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day. “And as the evening darkens, lo! how bright, Through the deep purple of the twilight air. Beams forth the sudden radiance of its light With strange, unearthly splendor in the glare! “Not one alone; from each projecting cape And perilous reef along the oceans verge, Starts into life a dim, gigantic shape. Holding its lantern o’er the restless surge. “Steadfast, serene, immovable, the same Year after year, through all the silent night Burns on forevermore that quenchless flame, Shines on that inextinguishable light! “The startled waves leap over it; the storm Smites it with all the scourges of the rain, And steadily against its solid form Press the great shoulders of the hurricane. “The sea-bird wheeling round it, with the din Of wings and winds and solitary cries, Blinded and maddened by the light within. Dashes himself against the glare, and dies. “ ‘Sail on!’ it says, 'sail on, ye stately ships! And with your floating bridge the ocean span; Be mine to guard this light from all eclipse, Be yours to bring man nearer unto man!’ ” —HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW '{jCCClUSC iflC wCmQ ly of the past is dimmed by time and passing events, we offer this book that you may call to mind the days that were spent at Kings Point. Realizing that we could not cover all the incidents as each individual remembered them, we have tried to assemble in this issue of Midships a composite of Academy life from plebe days to graduation. We trust that when you read it, whether now in 1953 or in years to come, you will look within these pages and remember not only the outstanding events but also the day .«s !� W V j M V. m c. V I .■ M m by day occurrences that, even though not as colorful, provided the humor, the anxiety and the sadness that made our four years of study pass so quickly. The passage has not always been smooth for Midships, for there were many problems in the photography, editing, and publishing of this book. Somehow we managed to survive the storms and sincerely hope that this log of the graduating class will meet with your approval. The editors and staff of Midships join in wishing to each and every member of the graduating class the best of luck in his future endeavors, and, of course, smooth sailing. U. S. MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY f(inqs (point, pjont United States Merchant Marine Cadet Corps Maritime Training • Maritime Administration • United States Department of Commerce ■fl lety oj... Sentries of the Sea Throughout the pages of this log something has been told of the color and history of the guiding beacons men have placed on the edges of the world’s seas. The young man embarking on the voyage of life must have some beacon of his own so that he may slip by the rocks and shoals along his course. For the modern mariner a sound theoretical and practical education serves as that guide. Here at Kings Point men labor to impart to the future ship’s officer .... the necessary academic background and the fundamentals of a practical nautical education essential to a successful career at sea. The administration draws up the plan, instructors lay the foundation in the basic year, the sea year braces up the structure and two final years at the Academy see the tower rise to completion. QfliJsliflS, then, is a pictorial log of the creation of that guide. It is the story behind the attainment of the knowledge and experience the new officer takes with him into the ships and onto the seas of his tomorrow. To the individuals who inhabit the forsaken and lonely towers which have been raised at the edges of the seas ... to the stalwart men clinging to the wave pounded rock or secure on the bleak dune, enduring the monotony of dreary hours, the ravages of an angry sea ... to all those who stand by the beacons upon which the mariner must rely, we dedicate this edition of our log. mm ?VC l since mdn first took to the sea his major concern has been the land which gave him his beginning. The rocks and reefs that tear the hearts from our modern ocean liners have claimed the lives of thousands of our seafaring ancestors. The pounding of the surf on a lee shore is as awe inspiring and fearful a sound today as when the ancient Greek vessels beat their way into Alexandria from the Eastern Mediterranean. The Island of Pharos was the curse of shipping around Alexandria and collected so great a toll of ships and men from the rich trade that something had to be done. A lighthouse was built, the first in the world, and the engineering and work that went into it was of such genius that it became known as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The massive white marble structure rose from a rock off the eastern end of the island to a height of nearly four hundred feet, presenting the sea with such an uncompromising foe that the light remained as a sentinel of safety that sailors could rely upon for over a thousand years. The new tower at Ras el Tin, located near the ruins of the old, is not as massive or spec- tacular, but like its predecessor it casts its beam unfailingly over the treacherous sea and guides the wandering ships to the land of the Nile. IN MEMORIAM Jjkutemnt Qttau iice QH. (pftice USMS Lieutenant Maurice Price was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May 8, 1921, and graduated from Kings Point in October, 1944. While in his sea year serving as a Cadet-Midshipman aboard the S.S. Henry Knox, he was badly injured when his ship was torpedoed in the Indian Ocean. He showed, by his constant loyalty and devotion, his love for his Country and his Alma Mater. All hands mourn the loss of this gallant shipmate and true friend. Not alone in this page, but in our hearts we remember him.

From the day he enters the gate until the last day aboard they have the undramatic but most important task of gov- erning the daily lives of the Cadet-Midshipmen. The task of supervising nearly a thousand Cadet-Midshipmen as well as coordinating the many departments requires care- ful planning plus great ability. Proof of this ability lies in the smoothness with which Academy life flows steadily onward with the passing years. vefl since men first took to the sea his major concern has been the land which gave him his beginning.

Located just north and slightly east of Murphy Hall, and connected by a fine concrete thoroughfare to the rest of the neighboring boroughs, stands the charm- ingly quaint residential area known as Palmer Hall. Situated slightly off the main arteries of Academy travel, it yet offers a variety of fine accommodations to the passing tourist or occasional traveling salesman. We recommend that those staying for a brief visit stay clear of the rooms located near the office dis- tricts as the overhead and upkeep are very severe. Rather we suggest the re- mote residential districts where the na- tives may be observed going about their natural ways amid more leisurely sur- roundings. The people are as a rule independent but friendly, although oc- casionally a silently distrustful and sloppily attired character may be seen peering from his out-of-the-way and therefore much-sought-after abode. 40 WINTER Left to Right: D.

Company Staffs Murphy Hall is the home of the 2nd Company and bulwark of Academy revo- lutionists and reactionists. Here a small but brave contingent of sub-subversives are continually plotting and initiating brilliant reforms in Academy living. The slogans ‘Two coffee pots in every room” and “More food for the masses” have met with joyous acclaim and fervid re- sponse from the usually retiring lower- classmen. The aromatic blend of deli- cate sardine appetizers, coupled with onion sandwiches and home brewed cof- fee makes the Hall a gourmets’ paradise (and occasionally delights the heart of our good Commander). Even with this temporary set-back the graduating class may leave secure in the knowledge that it has passed on to succeeding classes, not only hot plates and utensils, but also a deep appreciation of good living. 41 SUMMER Left to Right: R.

Like the vital organ that it is in the Academy's economic life, Cleveland Hall teems with that kind of activity common only to the great commercial enterprises of our times. Within its hinterlands are the canteen, low rent, plain pipe rack, multimillion dollar tailor shop. Off an- other of its congested highways is that great monument to American Enter- prises, the everlasting thorn in the sides of Macy's and Gimbels, the Ships Serv- ice Store where everything from women's hose to slide-rules is sold. And it is here that the brains of this vast empire daily contemplates the problems of the throng who for the necessities of life come to the Wall Street of Kings Point. SUMMER Left to Right: J.

Old-timers and set-backs have discussed the mystery on many happy occasions while their coffee was cooling on the window sill, and have come up with the plausible explanation that the ghost is actually a hallucination on the part of the mid watch, brought on by indigestion from the evening meal which is in turn sorely aggravated by the night lunch.

The stout vaqueros that ride roughshod over the range are prone to rampant ramblings that make them susceptible to the clutches of the indefatigable sheriff and his exuberantly efficient posse. While the problems of the sheriff's office are being diligently handled, one can find the first classmen laboriously performing the ex- tremely technical engineering experi- ment of their newly gained mattresses, each desperately endeavoring to discover new and better ways to secure complete relaxation.

Lacking greatly in natural resources, except oil, and en- tirely dependent on their environment and the elements that be, the hardy peasants are, needless to say, sadly lack- ing in the simple luxuries that their neighbors enjoy. The never-ending struggle with the unproductive rocky soil, coupled with the howling tempests that strike terror and misery to the un- fortunates caught unawares, has pro- duced a sullen, melancholy atmosphere. But their daily safari to the mess hall across windswept Barney Square has made a hardy breed that can withstand many h urs on awkward squad. SUMMER Left to Right: H.

The Company is also frequently invited to perform in civic celebrations and other outside functions. Under the able guidance of Lt. H.

Men of all classes make up the membership of the fifty man company.

Whetiesea tnajjic is the heaviest and the threat of disaster the greatest, ride the ships that never sail—the most vulnerable of the sentinels of the sea. They are small ships in size but carry in their lights the grave responsi- bility of safety to thousands of ships and men who gamble their lives upon them. The history of these little vessels is a heroic one; they go where lighthouses cannot, drop their anchors, and stay to fight the sea till time or tragedy takes them. One of the more famous of them, the Nantucket, took her station along the Massachusetts Coast and there was run down in a fog and sunk by the S.S. Olympic which she was aiding. Others have been sunk by enemy ships or lost with their crews during heavy gales. However, in the case of the Nantucket, within hours another little ship with a freshly painted name on her side was on station, had relit the torch, and was sounding the melancholy warning blast over the grave of her sister. When the big ships batten their hatches and slow their engines to meet the heavy seas, the little ships with the big lights roll and pitch, rear and swing, pound and shudder, fight desperately for existence in the screaming winds. They bang their bells yet more furiously than ever, never giving an inch of cable to the sea. Like damned souls they do their penance. Chained to their watery hell they toll—that we may sail in safety. Graduation Day I Class Officers MARTIN J. CAWLEY JAMES J.

Within a few weeks, class rates, marching and the pressure of school work had revealed the intricacies of modern ships and the traditions made by cadets on them. We were doubtful upon reporting aboard ship for our sea year, but learned to enjoy sailing and hated to return to school. As second classmen we had all of New York to keep us busy on week- ends. However studies demanded attention also, and we associated ideas brought from sea with those of the classroom. Never fully understanding why the time slipped by so fast, we gleaned the last from the books and “prepped” for that final quiz . . . license exam. r .

'.SI ince Jlisi fiy CyClJl men have been struggling among themselves for possession of the sea and the control of its wealth. The term, “Queen of the Seas,” remains but an empty boast of false power, however. The oceans of the world recognize no nation or people as their master, but retain their destructive powers to be unleashed with a fury that mocks men’s futile struggles. The ravages of storms and surf have taken a far greater toll of ships and men than all the naval engage- ments in history. The greatest threat to mariners and their vessels is the great num- ber of reefs that seem to have been placed deliberately in the paths of shipping. They lie just beneath the surface or barely awash so there is no warning of their presence until the vessel strikes or the surf breaks beneath the bow. One such reef was Race Rock which, in the eight years previous to the construction of the light on it, caused the destruction of eight major ships and numerous smaller vessels. The building of the sentinel that guards it was a small victory over the sea, since the glacial boulder upon which it is built is three to thirteen feet below water at low tide and washed by treacherous currents. However, the light was finished in six years and since its inauguration in 1878, has reduced the danger to a minor threat. Today it serves as a fine example of a sentinel of safety that has succeeded in making its contributions to the annals of shipping. 04 Uiiit GIgAA uX U jsrMcu , pi 5 Wtj- jva • w. L. i i « MEDICOS POSITIVE SEPTENE REAL GONE Efren Sanchez May Know The Real Neptune Story But He Isn’t Talking At approximately 1500 on Sunday 12 February the body of Neptune, alleged good luck charm of the Merchant Ma- rine Academy, was found dead of natu- ral causes by the son of Captain Nerney. The matter was reported in due course to Vickery Gate and the Sergeant of the Guard. At that time the Command Duty Officer was notified “that the ram was in apparent dead condition”. In i the best traditions of the service no of- ficial judgment of the ram’s condition was given until 1530 when Captain Os- senfort pronounced the ram unquestion- ably deceased. « Jr • ± ■ [ I First Aug.953 Men Arrive To Start Training 100 Aboard In Next Two Weeks; “Pass” Gets Equal Number The first members of the Class of August ’53 arrived at Vickery Gate last Monday morning and are now well started on the indoctrination program designed to mold them into first class Fourth Class Cadet-Midshipmen. Though still civilian-clad at the time of the Senate debate, they too were affected by this year’s appropriation delay. The uncertainty of the situation made it im- possible to send their orders until very recently—with the result that the one hundred fledglings anticipated will be arriving over a two week period. In . addition to bringing the Cadet-Midship- men personnel total here close to the one-thousand level once again the Class will swell the ranks at the Pass Christian Cadet School by an equal number. Half a dozen sections will be created of the latest recruits and they will be equally divided into three Deck and three En- gine groups, thereby guaranteeing the usual “draw” when the inevitable de- bates arise. tvzrict n I I o ZiAp4 . ?Z udoc J 53 As Going All-Out In Plebo Day Plans McNulty Announces Saturday Overnight Liberty; No RO30’s To the exultant joy of the nostripers of the academy, it was recently an- nounced that the Class of 53A will hold its Plebe Day this Friday, the third of March, and Recognition Day on the fourth. No Third Class stripes will be available until later, but so far this hasn’t caused any Fourth Classmen to reject the earlier dates. Whole-hearted organization for the day’s activities is underway, including such new features as a Regimental staff consisting of Plebes, and the chowtime broadcasts supervised by them. The usual Plebe company commanders and class rates mongers will be parading. “Mac” McNulty, the Fourth Class president, announced to the 53A men that although squared corners and R030’s will no longer be theirs after the third, regular Plebe liberty hours will be the order until they go to sea. However, the Regimental dance of the fourth will, of course, occasion overnight liberty for the upper fourth classmen. I i i p.-jf p jsf ■ 1 J 3 Plebes Fiddle As Flames Flicker Kings Pointers Cut Fighting Time To Two Days Unaccustomed as they were to such civilian-like luxuries as seconds and thirds on milk, 0630 reveille calls, movies every night, beautiful Waves passing back and forth, and no studies at night, all members of the two Fourth Class sections who spent four days of last week at the Philadelphia Naval Yard’s Fire Fighting School managed to pass the course and return home with barely a third degree burn among them. During each of the “academic days”, however, the plebes—divided into nine- man groups—saw enough and fought enough flames to last them for some time to come. Taking the course along with naval personnel, they commenced training on small and open oil fires, practicing both windward and leeward approaches, and gradually worked up to the house spe- cial, a roaring, oil washed boiler room. After observation of the first two groups, the navy people were convinced that the Cadet-Midshipmen had enough background training to benefit ade- quately from the two-day course and that is what all future sections making the trip will get. Such training for upper classmen will be contingent upon word which the Ad- ministration is awaiting from Washing- ton. 95 From Pass Arrive K. P. ff5 ‘7- gS: t ✓ -' - • fi 1 £ On Friday, 24 March, the men from Pass Christian were literally dumped into the regiment and the halls were soon filled with cadets with no hats and no stripes, asking who painted the brass black in their new rooms. A few Stars and Bars were evident in the group but the majority are from the Middle West and West. Of the 95 men in the class some 30 states and the Canal Zone are represented. When asked as to their first reactions on the “Point” they summed it up with “Bigger”, and all voiced the opinion that a short indoctrination period would be helpful in getting used to the system. The closing of the Cadet School at Pass Christian brings to mind the simi- lar fate of the San Mateo Cadet School in June of 1947. At that time the 50B’s, then the “J” sections, returned to the Academy to become the first full-year fourth class to complete indoctrination at Kings Point. The San Mateo contin- gent was followed in October of the same year by the victims of the Hurri- cane which demolished the Pass, thus making another first, the first time in the history of the Cadet Corps that an entire class shipped out of one training school. In three years, the present 53B’s from the Pass will no doubt lay claim to some other historical “first”.

They were asked to state their salient impression of Kings Point and to com- ment on any differences they had noted between the two “systems”. The Cadets were most co-operative and objective in their observations, some of which are summarized below. Cadet Lieutenant Mark Oliphant from Indiana was impressed with the techni- cal training aids here at the Academy. A visit to our electronics laboratory prompted this opinion. Cadet Captain Tomasetti commented favorably on the classroom procedures. The technique whereby the instructor covers and explains the subject matter, in contrast to the examination and home study method received his approval. Cadet Captain Alfred Griffin especially noted the practical aspects of the cur- riculum. He could see that each subject taught was aimed at preparing a cap- able Merchant Officer. Mr. Griffin also commented favorably on the extensive facilities of the Ship’s Service Canteen and its hours of service. I I I I I Red Cross Blood Donations Are High Academy’s Personnel Donates 413 Pints On Friday, the 11th of January, the Red Cross’s Mobile Blood Donor unit visited the Academy, and we are very happy to report, were very pleased with the results obtained. There were 413 donors, as compared to only 296 men last year. The Red Cross officials re- ported that we had set somewhat of a record with our very low rejection rate. Only thirty-four men were turned down to give a percentage rate of about 6% compared to the average rejection rate of 20%. Headed by Admiral and Mrs. McLin- tock, the blood donors consisted of offi- cers, Cadet-Midshipmen, enlisted, civil service and civilian personnel. The Red Cross nurses were especially pleased with the pleasant and co-operative spir- it all the donors displayed. As com- pared with similar institutions, opera- tion at Kings Point was the smoothest run of the lot. VV Adm. Telfair Knight Retires After 15 Years Service Admiral-Elect Hollie Tiedemann Will Succeed Admiral Telfair Knight As Commandant On the 31st. of July 1951, Rear Ad- miral Telfair Knight, USMS, Chief of the Office of Maritime Training and Commandant of the United States Mari- time Service, will be officially relieved of his duties by Capt. Hollie J. Tiede- mann. Admiral Knight is going into retire- ment after many years of brilliant service in the United States Maritime Service. He took up duties with the government as the first Secretary of the Maritime Commission, was later ap- pointed Assistant to the Commissioner for Training; and during the recent war was named Deputy Administrator for Training for the War Shipping Admin- istration, which title was later changed to Chief of the Office of Maritime Training and Commandant United States Maritime Service. Capt. Hollie J. Tiedemann is presently the Chief of the Division of Maritime Service Training and Assistant Com- mandant United States Maritime Ser- vice. Capt. Tiedemann holds a master’s ticket and has years of sailing experi- ence. He was the first Commanding Officer on the T.V. American Mariner and served as Superintendent of the USMS Training Station at Saint Peters- burg, Florida. I ; i i i i i i i i i C-A4 Open L. I. Industry Fair View Exhibits Kings Pointers March In Formal Review Away From Home Leaving and arriving as scheduled, the Regiment encountered no delay on their trip to the Industrial Exposition at Roosevelt Field. They arrived at the field, mustered, and marched in review in orderly precision. The main speaker and reviewing of- ficial, the Honorable Leonard W. Hall, was introduced by Rear Admiral Gor- don McLintock. Mr. Hall is well known to us all as one of the Academy’s best Congressional friends. The Regiment’s appearance at the Ex- position was through the courtesy of NEWSDAY, leading Long Island news- paper, and its publisher, Alicia Patter- son, who chartered fourteen buses for the journey to Mineola. Miss Patterson is a long time friend of the Academy and one of its strongest and most en- thusiastic supporters. faAjhrrLJ Regiment Participates In Carlsen Welcome After a 24-hour delay due to engine trouble and fog, Captain Henrik Carlsen arrived in New York by plane from England and the once-postponed wel- come ceremonies were put into effect. Tens of thousands of New Yorkers lined the route and perched in the win- dows and on the line of march to wel- come the city’s hero with the traditional cheers and ticker tape. The Regiment embarked in the “Mary Murray”, a Staten Island ferry, for Manhattan and their part in the hero’s welcome. Commander O’Connell acted as Grand Marshall in the parade hon- oring the heroic skipper of the S.S. Fly- ing Enterprise. istii CIgMI IjeGA a yu 6 osmc+t-, C SALUTE THE ENSIGN ?? I CAN'T EVEN SEE IT.' LCdr. La Dage Publishes New Text Book A new textbook, “Modern Ships,” written by LCdr. La Dage, is being pub- lished by the Cornell Maritime Press and will soon be available to satisfy the special requirements of the course in Applied Naval Architecture. LCdr. John La Dage, who is Chief of the Section of Applied Naval Architecture, with a background as a Ship’s Officer, has attempted to present from the gen- eral field of design and Ship’s construc- tion the theories and practices which can be applied most practically to the problems of those engaged in the opera- tion of merchant ships. Special empha- sis has been placed on the phases of ship design and construction which have not been accorded the consideration they reserve in the professional education of a ship’s officer. Information on the practical application of the theories of stability and trim has been given in a companion text, “Stability and Trim for Ship’s Officers” by La Dage and Van Gemert. Voice of America Broadcasts From Academy On Thursday, January 29th, the Voice of America sent a radio station mobile unit to the United States Merchant Marine Academy to record some inter- esting incidents in the daily routine of the Cadet-Midshipmen. Mr. Hauger and Mr. Van Etta headed the visitors. The recordings made in the Academy were made for a special program to be broadcast in France. This program is a part of a series of programs to famil- iarize other nations about the way of life in the United States. These pro- grams are a vital contribution of the campaign to inform the world about the TRUTH, truth about the standard of living, the opportunities in the fields of education, occupation, and society: the freedoms enjoyed by the citizens and the overall common life of every American. It is hoped that through these programs, broadcast by the Voice of America throughout the world in different languages, the truths will be revealed about America and contribute to the promotion of world peace. Several recordings in different parts of the Academy were made, and one of the more important ones was the record- ing made on the presentation of a medal and two pennants by Chief Cadet Cap- tain Massey, British Cadet, to C M Cmdr.

Mattioni thanked Cadet Mas- sey and expressed his appreciation for the latter’s pleasant visit, and as a token of such appreciation, he presented a Midships book to his British counter- part. Incidentally, Chief Cadet Captain Massey marched with the Regimental Staff in the Inaugural Parade in Wash- ington, D. C. The announcements in the mess hall were also recorded. T jP. I I I Naval Architects Inspect United States “What a beautiful ship.” That’s what twenty C M said last Wednesday, 17 September when they visited the S.S. United States. The ship was open for formal inspection by the members of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers between the hours of 1430 and 1700 when the vessel was docked at Pier 86, North Riv.er at the foot of 46th Street, New York. The United States was gone over from stem to stern and tank tops to flying bridge. The vastness of the engine room, and the new types of controls and regu- lators, fascinated all of us as well as the abundance of navigational equipment. The statesrooms, ballrooms, and lounges were beautifully decorated with many bright colors. C M DIVINO WINS SNAME CONTEST C M Divino, Class of February 1953, working with the assistance of LCdr. La Dagc of the Department of Naval Architecture, has developed a device designed to aid in minimicing bending stresses of a cargo vessel. A paper introducing this device will be presented by C M Divino before the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers on December IS. Also at this time, C M Fred Mahr will pre- sent a five-minute discussion on C M Divino’s paper. Congratulations to C M Divino on winning the Student Paper award for this season in the metropolitan area. He had strong competition from Fort Schuyler, but true to Kings Point tradi- tion, pulled through to bring home the honors to the Academy.

Each breaker that pounds incessantly on the shore, whether large or small, takes its grain of sand. The results of the conflict are often spectacular, especially where the shore offers resistance, as along the Oregon coast. This stretch of land at the base of the Cascade Mountains is a jumbled mass of sheer cliffs, roaring caverns, and jagged rocks that is marveled at by tourists, enshrined by painters and poets, but feared as a nightmare of death and destruction by mariners who venture to pass. The number of dangerous rocks in the area is vast, yet one in particular has offered the greatest threat to shipping—Tillamook Rock. It stands one mile offshore directly in the path of shipping, so that the construction of a sentinel to guard it was imperative. The light was secured only with great labor and difficulty. Since the rock had sheer faces and an exposed position, it was neces- sary to hoist men and materials aboard by means of a derrick — but the sea on occasion removed them at a faster rate. Even since the completion of the light in 1881, the sea has continued to question its permanence with storms that sometimes place the rock awash. Although the lantern is one hundred thirty-three feet above the level of the sea, the protective glass has on more than one occasion been shattered by stones hurled by giant waves. Yet the raging waters have repeatedly failed, and the sentinel of the sea continues to shine. HE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT of officers to assume the responsibility for the navigation of today’s merchant vessels and for the care and stowage of cargoes carried is the objective of the Nautical Science Department. Deck officers of today’s merchant fleet no longer find their field governed by rules of thumb and the importance of a technical background steadily becomes more apparent. It is the aim of the Nautical Science Department to send into service an officer not only versed in practical affairs but also well grounded in the theoretical aspects of his profession. This aim is accomplished in such courses as boat handling, cargo, applied marine electronics, seamanship, ship stability and of course, navigation; through hours spent in modern laboratories; and through the association with experienced instructors, each a specialist in some phase of the deck officer’s job. The Kings Pointer takes with him from the classrooms and laboratories of Samuels Hall one of the finest backgrounds available in his field, a background calculated to make him one of the best officers aboard the best ships in the world.

And should you forget it’s all in the book, Just like reading a phone book, ROM HIS STUDIES OF PRACTICAL ENGINEERING and its theory in classrooms and laboratories, the Kings Pointer acquires the ability and knowledge which makes him a capable officer in the engine rooms of merchant and naval vessels. Practical courses in electricity, steam and diesel engineering, the theory of hydraulics, thermodynamics and strength of materials are elements which make up his background. Sessions in the labs show him how a maritime power plant works. His theoretical courses give him the understanding of why his plant is constructed as it is. His classes are taught by qualified instructors, themselves marine officers, well versed in the practical aspects of the field and in advanced theory. His laboratories are constantly being improved through the acquisition of up to date equipment. He is impressed in the classroom with the necessity for thrift and in the lab he learns the operative practice which will achieve it. The graduate goes into his new career as a well grounded, well trained officer, completely capable of assuming the responsibility for the finest marine power plants afloat. Front Row: Lt. R. A.

All Cadet-Midshipmen are given courses in various phases of the shipping industry such as labor relations, admiralty law, marine insurance, marine transportation and economics. The Deck Cadet-Midshipman spends the first month of his first class year in steamship company offices to further his education in the structure of the shipping company. The invaluable training in the overall aspects of his industry greatly aids the Kings Pointer to be a better officer when he enters his profession. 253 Sitting: LCdr. L. Jarett; Lt. S.

To take up these prin- ciples as they are encountered in various courses would be not only prohibitively time consuming but very often repetitious. For this reason the Department of Mathematics and Science has been set up to give all Cadet-Midshipmen the education which will prove valuable to them in their year at sea, their advanced years at the Academy and their future life as ships officers. The courses in the sciences and mathematics prepare the student for his work to come and he progresses rapidly through advanced theory confident in his command of the basic tools and the language in which this theory is stated.

With this thought in mind the Department of History and Languages strives to present the Cadet-Midshipmen with those liberal arts which will best benefit him throughout his career. No man can be considered well educated who lacks the ability to express himself in his native tongue and it is vital at times for the mariner to overcome the barrier of language. For these reasons the Cadet-Midshipman is required to attain a proficiency in the English language as well as in one foreign language, Spanish, Russian, French or Portuguese. Through a knowledge of world history the traveler may better understand those whom he meets, and by this insight strengthen the ties of friendship so essential in the shrinking world of today.

Advice and help are always available from the Chaplains’ Offices for the individual who will find an attentive ear for his religious and personal problems. Through the counsel of these men the character of the Cadet-Midshipman is reinforced, his way is smoothed and he is carried over the shoals in his academy life and on into his profession. : ' « If rf rr , I : r i ' � 259 Candlelighting Service After Mass Leaving The Altar Catholic Choir Front Row: P.

Every morning they may attend Mass at the Star-of-the-Sea Chapel. Each Friday evening devotions are held, followed by the question-box period. Once a month, First Friday devotions are held. The cadets owe much to “Father Mac” for his work with them. It is due largely to his efforts that they have such a superb opportunity to develop their religious life while at the Academy.

Although Rabbi Rubin is not attached to the Academy, he gladly gives of his time each week so that the Cadet-Midshipmen may attend together. After the services, a discussion is held and different aspects of religion are studied. The Cadet-Midshipmen are welcome to bring guests and many invite their friends. Proof that these friendships are lasting is to attend the weddings that are performed in the Chapel after graduation.

Facilities are available in the gymnasium in O’Hara Hall which enable the individual Cadet-Midshipman t pursue his interests in athletics at any time. Intramural events scheduled throughout the year draw large numbers of participants and spectators. Varsity teams are fielded in every major intercollegiate sport and strong rivalries have added special interest to encounter in these various games. Regularly scheduled courses in physical training and marine aquatics are also given every Cadet-Midshipman.

On this shore stands a beacon of safety that for more than two hundred years has sent its searching beams seaward so that wandering or tempest tossed vessels might have a guiding star to steer by. The light fittingly enough stands on Great Brewster Island directly above Dead Man’s Rock, the most infamous of the old graveyards in the area. On occa- sion it was not averse to taking two or three vessels during a stormy night, but now must he content with breaking only the mountainous waves that pound upon it. The history of the earliest light in America is as tumultuous as the sea over which it watches. It was born of necessity—the need to keep the living from the tragedy of the dead. Even after its founding it was not exempt from tragedy: the first keeper and his family were drowned in a storm along the coast. A good deal of blood was shed in the Revolutionary War by both sides for the control of the light and the British finally destroyed it. After the war the light was reconstructed and repowered. It has come down to us through the years more modernly equipped, of course, but still standing white and serene in the cold brilliance of its own light — a tower of strength that we might make our landfall safely.

Slowly the book takes shape, only after months of planning and groundwork. Finally the last article is written, the last picture is in place, and the volume is ready for publication. It is then that all who have shared in the making of this book are rewarded by seeing their ideas carried to completion. The genuine feeling of accomplish- ment is increased by the realization that this book will bring back fond memories to many men in years to come. ALFREDO V.

In February 1952 the presses stopped rolling and for eight months the Regiment was without its weekly publication. All hands missed their favorite articles and also the exciting sporting news. After summer leave, however, the publi- cation was reactivated. The jstaff was again organized and on 16 September 1952 the first issue of the new HEAR THIS reached the rooms of Cadet-Midshipmen. The general appearance of the paper had not 284 « New Staff Sp0rt Staff changed but most of the upperclassmen noticed some differences. Instead of the usual four pages there are now six. Pictures are printed by photo offset, a method for clearer reproduction of photography. Most apparent to all is the fact that the paper is now published bi-weekly. For the second year HEAR THIS is sonsoring the Winter Queen contest, an event which everyone hopes will continue. The News Staff is very busy maintaining an accurate coverage of all happenings around the Academy and also reporting any graduate news which it is fortunate enough to receive. In the sports section one can find detailed descriptions of all Academy sports, both intercollegiate and intramural. During the past year the office of Editor has been occupied by two capable men, Bob McCormick, Class of 53A, and John Guth, Class of 53B. These men directed the work of a staff comprising about thirty Cadet-Midshipmen. Availiable at all times was the publication’s Officer-Adviser, LCdr. Thomas H. Giddings. ’usiness 285 Polaris, the quarterly Kings Point Journal of Maritime Affairs, is written, edited and managed by Cadet Midshipmen. In making the transition from a monthly humor magazine for the Regiment to an industry-wide periodical the staff has had to cope with many difficult problems. The changeover has finally been accomplished, however, through the efforts of the two Editors, Burris Jenkins III and Robert Ross- man under the direction of Officer Adviser, Commander Walsh. Polaris contains many fine editorial features among which are articles written by experts within the maritime industry and the Index to Marine Periodicals, a use- ful guide to technical data pertaining to the Marine field.

In addition to these, special stories may be sent out for any number of unusual events on both individual and Academy basis. Aided by Captain R. S. Mecklem as Officer- Adviser, Steve Goldrich and Ralph Smith have directed the functioning of the service. Although our Academy is the youngest of the four Federal Academies, its name and mission is being spread rapidly, largely through the efforts of Cadet- Midshipmen active on the Staff of Regimental Information Service. 4 290 V - Filing cabinet This ought to make headlines After some effort CAPTAIN R.

The Debate Council took part in one hundred thirty de- bates, winning sixty, losing sixty, with two ties and eight no-decision. Striving to surpass that record, the Debate Council has embarked on an ambitious program for 1952- 1953. Following the season’s opener, a victory over the fair ladies of Barnard, the Council has met St. John’s, Brooklyn, West Point, Hofstra, New York University, Fordham, Good Counsel, and Annapolis. On December 16th, Kings Point was host to the combined team repre- senting the University of North Wales and the Univer- sity of Southampton. The season’s first tournament was at Temple in Philadelphia. Kings Point was entered in several other large tournaments: at N. Y. U. on Decem- ber 12-13, at Johns Hopkins on January 30-31, at Boston on February 26-28, at Hofstra on March 7, at Brooklyn on March 13-14, at Georgetown and Notre Dame on March 19-21, at Philadelphia on April 16-18, at West Point on April 23-25, and the season’s close at Dartmouth on May 1-2. In extent, quantity and quality, Kings Point now com- pares favorably with the leading debate teams of the nation. Even wider preparations are being made for the coming season so that Kings Point in 1953-1954 may be assured of debate activities second to none. Lt. I jg) Beetham, E. Borison, President; C.

From their center of operations atop Delano Hall, these men pro- vide the Regiment with the “sweetest' music” this side of Vickery Gate. As if this were not enough the members also occupy their time by broadcasting football games, recording the speeches of distinguished guests and piping music down to the lounge for informal dances. Through the addition of new equipment, sound technical advice and individual initiative, the Regimental Broadcast Unit has become an integral part of Academy life.

A twenty-six foot motor whaleboat ob- tained by the club will be used to make weekend trips to the eastern part of Long Island Sound. Montauk Point, one of the world’s best fishing grounds, will also serve as hunting grounds for the spearfishermen. In addition to spearfishing the members plan to explore available shipwrecks shown on the navigation charts for this area. To accomplish this, diving apparatus which permits descents to eleven fathoms will be used. G. NELSON President Sitting: R. Pietry, R. Gavazzi, S. Doubiago. Standing: D. Rothgaber, R. Smith, E.

To these patient men photography is a science and must be treated as such down to the finest detail. They take pride in their expert shots of the many familiar Academy scenes. A member of the Club is always present at dances and other important social functions so that a Cadet-Midshipman may have his picture taken alongside that best girl. In the future years these men will be able to look through their collections and recall many fond memories of the days spent at Kings Point. Lt. Nickl defeats twenty Cadet-Midshipmen Organized in October 1951 as the result of a suggestion from Cadet- Midshipmen, the Chess Club has received an enthusiastic reception among devotees of the game at the Academy. Novices have been in- troduced to and schooled in the fundamentals of the game while experienced players have improved their play. The club is composed of two sections, the social group which pro- motes games within the Regiment and the intercollegiate group which arranges tournaments with teams from the nearby colleges. An interesting activity of the club was the competition held during the summer of 1952 in which Lt. Nickl, the Club’s Officer-Adviser, matched his skill against a group of Cadet-Midshipmen and defeated each of his twenty opponents in simultaneous games. 296 Front Row: B. Lim, R. Smith, D.

In an effort to acquaint the Regi- ment with actual problems of the maritime industry, distinguished men in the field of shipping are invited by the Club to speak on such important subjects as pilferage, cargo handling, safety and ship construction. Films pertinent to merchant marine activity are shown at the meetings. During the year the men also enjoy social entertainment in the form of tea dances and picnics.

The subjects of their discussions fall within a wide scope ranging from the simple laws of physics to the highly complicated study of guided missies. By supplementing the science courses of the Academy, these men have been able to avail themselves of knowledge which will some day prove useful in the world of research and progress.

It is an absolute necessity therefore that the Ring Committee make a choice which will be most satisfactory to the class. It is the job of the Committee to meet with the representatives of the various ring com- panies, examining and comparing rings with regard to their quality of workmanship and discussing the problems of price and payment. These items must be carefully considered be- fore arriving at a decision.

CLARK Regimental Morale Officer Were it not for the work of an enterprising Dance Committee, the Academy formals would be far from successful. The entire task of planning and production is placed in its hands. The first step is to decide on the type of dance and also a theme which will present a combi- nation of ideas. Next the orchestra is chosen. This always presents a difficulty because the Committee is continually faced with a limited budget. Following this, the artistic and creative abili- ties of the members are brought into play. The design of the invitation, the favor and the original decorations are all the work of Cadet- Midshipmen. At last, in a whirl of streamers, the final pro- duction takes place. However, this is not the end. For many of the members the Dance Committee is a year round job and it is to them that the Regiment can be especially grateful. 300 Involved in moving around the Academy was the Radio Club. From its former location above Truxton Arcade the Club moved to the combination workshop and radio shack in the basement of Palmer Hall. At the present time the Club is in the process of reorganization and rebuilding. Equipped with soldering irons the members are completing work on a transmitter and other apparatus. It is here that a man may obtain the knowledge necessary to procure a license as an amateur operator. It is hoped that in the near future “ham operators” bodi ashore and at sea will hear the call letters W2VWH, re- minding them that the Academy is once again on the air. Radio Club Come in, Rogers Hall Soldering Sam And all the ships at sea Eagle Scout Society The Eagle Scout Society provides all previous members of the Boy Scouts of America with an op- portunity to take part in scouting activities in and around Nassau County. The members are given the privilege of obtaining merit badges in such sub- jects as astronomy, meteorology and seamanship. Their duties include acting as escorts to various groups such as Cub Scouts, and explaining to them the significance of the Academy and the Cadet Corps. The men are also given a chance to “rough it”. Right here on Long Island are camp sites such as Camp Wauwepex where the members can spend the weekend practicing their ability to live in the woods. Here at the Academy the Eagle Scout Society has been highly successful in upholding the principles of the Boy Scouts of America. H. Fogt, N. Albertson, J. Wylie. 302 [ IS JS e S Kneeling: W.

They are members of the Windjammers, an organization composed of men who not only enjoy sailing but take pride in maintaining their small vessels. Early in the spring the Windjammers begin their work by scraping, sanding and painting the boats, replacing frayed rigging and mending worn sails. It requires every man’s help to keep the twelve boats in top condition throughout the summer. From April to September the Windjammers represent the Academy in week-end sailing races at Larchmont, competing against many well known yachting personalities. New members soon learn the fundamentals of sailing and before long are thoroughly skilled in the many techniques of this exciting sport.

One is the development of physically fit, healthy men through the rigors of competitive sports. Every Cadet- Midshipman while he is at the Academy is encouraged to participate in athletic events. The second important function is to instill in each man a sense of competitive spirit combined with the qualities of good sportsmanship. It is hoped that each man will go forth to meet life with the ability to keep giving his best win or lose. � « T I Group flashing—white—two flashes every thirty seconds . . . one hundred thirty-three feet above water . . .

Eddystone Light $4$ the S nqti$h were the first to realize and exploit fully the advantages of seapower, so also have they suffered the greater portion of the ship- wrecks and tragedies that are the inevitab’e perils of the sea. The turbulent waters that surround the British Isles cover a vast multitude of sunken ships, with each year adding modern vessels to rust beside the hulks of the Spanish Armada and others that have gone before. In the gray mist of the fog or the violent winds of the winter gale, ships must forever be on their guard against the gravestones of the sea, the reefs boiling beneath waves, waiting as each keel slips by for one that wanders from its course or is driven before the storm. The Eddystone, situated fourteen miles from Plymouth, took such a toll of chan- nel shipping that it was the first to receive the attention of the nation. The first lighthouse on the rocks was the design of an eccentric engineer who added so many towers, balconies and cranes that both the construction and its designer were washed away in a storm three years after its conception in 1700. The second light was made on a more acceptable design and went into operation in 1706. However, the tower was made of oak and in 1755 burned down as a result of a shattered oil lantern. Another light was immediately begun and, profiting by previous mistakes, was made of granite. It went into operation in 1759. To all intents the tower was per- fect, being able to withstand both storm and fire. However, in the following years the tower shook exceedingly during storms. Upon investigation it was discovered that the sea had undermined the ledge on which the light stood. In 1882 the present tower was built on a safer position and has successfully withstood the elements so that today it stands as a sentinel of the sea that we might pass in safety. Homage to the heros.

The Kings Point men gained nine first down as against Roches- ter’s six, also they intercepted four passes as compared to the one taken by the Yellow Jackets of Rochester. Don Carlson, with the aid of Tim Allen, made the only touchdown for Kings Point while Bill Watson added the extra point. A few breaks might have changed the picture entirely,—but that’s football. 310 In their first home game of the season the Mariners played to a 20-20 deadlock against a heavily favored team from N.Y.U. Both defensive teams displayed aggressive- ness as pointed out by their fast line rushing and by the fact that each kicker had an extra point blocked. Offensive play was marked by short, quick passes. Allen was the first to score for Kings Point, when N.Y.U. fumbled a punt on the 4-yard line which the Mariners quickly recovered. Also scoring for Kings Point were Alvarado and Frank Smith. Kings Point was leading by a T.D. in the final period when the Violet’s Sauchelli passed 17 yards to Burney and paydirt. Rack’s last minute attempted field goal was wide and as the final gun sounded the scorboard read Kings Point—20 N.Y.U.—20. 311 The Kings Point eleven won their first victory of the season against Rensselaer Polytechnic In- stitute in Troy, N. Y. The team started a little slowly and at half time the score was tied at 13 to 13 but from there on in, the team turned on the steam. Sparked by Carlson, Byrne and Wiechard, the Blue and Gray made a 65 yard drive to paydirt, a 49 yard run for a touchdown and a 70 yard passing play that made a touch- down and put the Mariners ahead to win 32 to 20. 312 The play was dominated by Carlson, Wiechard and Harry Smith. Early in the game Carlson carried the ball over Wagner’s goal after Wiechard made a block at the critical moment. Harry Smith scored the second touchdown and completed three passes for a gain of sixty- nine yards. In the closing moments the Mariners drove to the opponent’s one yard line, but a fumble gave Wagner the ball. They unleashed a desperate passing attack which carried them to the Kings Point thirty yard line. With eight seconds left and Wagner threatening to score, Wiechard in- tercepted a pass, insuring an Academy victory. Jay :b little it I S d® j ilu jai W in 2 313 I The game started as an evenly matched con- test between two fast moving teams. Kings Point and Hofstra each scored twice in the first quar- ter. The quarter ended with Hofstra ahead by one point. The second quarter was as evenly matched as the first, except for the last seven minutes in which Hofstra broke loose with three touch- downs. The score at the half-way mark was Hofstra-32—Kings Point-13. During the second half Kings Point played good ball, but was unable to close the gap and Hofstra emerged victoriously. 316 The Kings Point—Adelphi battle was waged on a muddy field in a steady rain, which might account for the inability of either team to score. Continued fumbling, poor passing and sloppy running, attributed largely to the weather, characterized the offensive play of both teams. Defensively both teams were sharp, neither team allowing the other to get into a threatening posi- tion. In the second quarter a long Adelphi pass was knocked down by Naples, who played great defensive ball all afternoon. In the final quarter the Mariner offense began to click, but time ran out before they could bring their long down field march to a fruitful conclusion. This was the final game of the season and the last for the following men: Captain Bob Wiechard, Dick Pfiel, Harry Smith, Bob Naples, Ed Sise, Bill Schvodian, Rocky Brunn, Skip Champlain, Dante Mattioni, and Marty Smith.

For the first time in its brief but exciting history Kings Point football was honored by having one of its players named first string Little All-American. The worthy recipient of the award was the team’s Captain, Bob Weichard. Bob, a rugged 5' 9 , 170 pounder, came to Kings Point from Audubon, New Jersey. An outstanding end in high school, he switched to guard for the Mariners. In his first and second years he proved his ability to play fast ball sixty minutes a game against any odds. Last year he was named second string Little All- American. His teammates unanimously elected him captain of the 1952 squad. The term “Little” All-American does not refer either to Bob’s size or ability, but to the enrollment of Kings Point. His leader- ship and team spirit next fall will be sorely missed by the team. JIM McGUINESS and BILL WOLFE Co-Captains Kings Point’s cagers began the season with a loss to Brooklyn College. During the following weeks, despite losses, they played skillfully and hard. The record was not so poor as it appeared because many of the games were very close. Often the Mariners fought opposing teams to a tie, only to have them break away in the last few minutes to score the few extra points needed to win. The season was marked by outstanding court duels. The most outstanding of these clashes were the two games played against the New York Aggies, the fiercely fought contest with the Coast Guard Academy and the close struggle with Kings College. The wind-up game with Arnold proved to be the best of the season. The fans were on their feet throughout the contest. Only after terrific playing lasting into overtime did Kings Point drop the game by the narrow margin of a single point. The Mariners had outstanding speed, but lacked rebound ability. Much of this speed belonged to Hal Yee, one of the season’s greatest discoveries. Yee and Domini turned into an outstanding defensive pair. Despite a near-epidemic of flu, license exams, and studies, Co-Captains McGuiness and Wolfe were suc- cessful in leading the team through a tough year. Several games were started with a “plebe five” in the persons of Gilman, Planey, Yee, DeMarco, and DeArco.

Among the outstanding performers on the team were Al Goldberger, Hugh Solomon, Bob Herzog, Roger Duke, Al Jones, Bill Mutter, and Ed Mills. Performing from the springboard were Red Evans and Pat Anderson. Bob Shvodian and Willie Sutton managed the team and kept the scores in order. Since Al Feld has been coaching at Kings Point, he has set the enviable record in dual meets of 33 wins, 3 ties and 4 losses, an accomplishment that deserves special praise for a job well done. 329 THE u ju ra f Layout Off to the races SWIMMING TEAM RECORD K.

The Mariners won twenty of twenty-three matches, twelve of which were shoulder to shoulder. Standings, with the season not yet over, were third in the regional matches and a probable second in the Metropolitan Intercollegiate League.

This year the team will lose Stoner, Wuzer, and Brown who was All-American honor- able mention last year and who will probably make the first team this year. Also lost via graduation will be Ortolano, All-American in pistol and rifle , and number two man in the country last year. RAY ACH Coach Van Tone Storer and Ralph Ortolano The Mariner Sailing squad lived up to their tradition as a winning team and turned in a fine performance for the fall season. Co-Captains Bob O’Connor and Charlie Phippen took the tiller to lead Kings Point to seventh place in the Schell Trophy meet where they were in competition with the best teams in the country. On home waters they were best however, and defeated Hofstra in the Little Three Champion- ships. Acting as Officer-Advisers, Lt. A. Fiore and Lt. G. Steiner coached the team on the finer tactics. 334 NEWT” STEINER and AL FIORE Coaches maim gSSSMHRI mmm meam mmsmt aaa—ii mm � gaaflWi jiiinauwm nwMa ■ -;'4 tilBwdBh TljjffH HH0|[ mj—ii m 0m Drifting Along BOB O’CONNER and “GIGE” CARON Co-Captains | gggBfl MBl ,.y v Between races—The calm before the storm 337 Beating down the sound Rampage By Levin ,1 338 Soccer is the most recent sport to gain recog- nition as a varsity activity.

The Soccer team has never had a losing season and looks upon this past season as the best to date. The records give it five wins, one tie, and Soccer three losses for the year. “Dutch” Daniels, aided by Co-captains Olson and Fiddleman, put to- gether a team that did not lose a single game on the home field. Honors for high scoring go to Swarthout, Levin and Haser, while Olson, Ramsey and Miller were outstanding as defensive players. The fast moving line consisted of Levin, Haser, Shulick, Swarthout, and Fiddleman.

However, Coach Jim Liebertz’s team usu- ally gave its opponents a good run. The team was led by D. Lavalette and Captain Med Dyer, and always made a fine showing. There were few upper classmen running and the lack of experienced men handi- capped the team. There was a good turnout of Plebes, however, and they are expected to provide wins in the future seasons. 343 COMMANDER J. W.

LIEBERTZ Coach Outdoor 344 The 1952 season for the Mariner trackmen proved by far the best since the Academy’s beginning. Ably directed by Coach Jim Liebertz, and sparked by the mile relay team, the Mariner squad completed an outstanding season against strong opponents. The mile relay team included Lou Brocoli, Charlie Nuss, Bill Kresse, and Bob Sleiertin, who opened the season with a flying start by winning at the Seton Hall Relays on April 19, turning in the fine time of 3:25. A week later at the Penn Relays they gave a repeat performance, although a muddy track increased the time to 3:29. The team then took on the New York Conference Championships, and out of seven schools placed second to Adelphi. On May 7th the K. P. men defeated Fairleigh Dickinson 88-52. The following week, at the Small Metropolitan College Champions, only Adelphi of the fourteen schools proved better. Kings Point played host on the 17th of May to twelve upstate schools in the New York State Collegiate Track and Field Championships, in which the team placed a strong third. They visited Hofstra on the 21st of May and carried through in the rain to win from one of their toughest opponents with a tally of 74-66. The team then went on to trample the Long Island Aggies and New York State School of Applied Arts and Sciences, 106-66-7. The relay team rounded out the season at the IC4A Championships on 30-31 May. They qualified on Friday, and on Saturday took fifth place, bringing honors to the Academy with its first IC4A medal. Others on the team gave good performances also, including Bill Guest handling the discus and javelin, Don Sedlack tossing hammer, Mike Jabo placing in the 120 high hurdles, and Herb Henery who set a new school record of 12' 4 with the pole vault.

Backing up the plate, Jack Gelke faced the hard hurling mound staff which included “Cuz” Pi- rone, Lou Potente, and Ed Hansen. Jack Nolan, Millie Dost, Don Pfeil, and Howie Cassel handled the infield chores, while Frank Rack, Pete McCullagh, and Jack Fleisher joined forces to patrol the outfield. This aggregation provided good baseball and fine teamwork, even though short in the win column. 346 JACK NOLAN Captain !kfoMm v'yi-:::v .. � .« Beating the throw 347 Come on, fellas, let me play too. 348 Frustration—Strike one TNto mm . . •• 349 Coach and his boys sweat it out Front Row: Landy, Hinton.

Led by Captain Jim Reed, the team did much better on the courts than the record indicates. Reed lost only two singles matches in the entire season. Charlie Day, Jim O'Donnell, Bob Sprung and Henig Is- brandtsen, all veterans with at least plebe year experience, played good, aggressive tennis. Charlie Stahl and Ronald White rounded out the squad. Coach Patterson says the prospects for the coming sea- son are very bright, with at least four veterans from this year’s team returning to fill the top positions.

Ancient Problem... modern solution For centuries, a mariner’s only instruments of navigation were the sun and stars. Then came early forms of compasses and astrolabes—primitive instruments—but at least they relieved navigators from utter dependency on the solar system. With the development of the Sperry Gyro-Compass early in the 20th Century, a new era was born ... an era that made navigation an exact science. While great improvements had been made in magnetic compasses and sextants, for the first time navigators had in the Gyro-Compass a true-north GYROSCOPE COMPAHY DIVISION OF THE SPERRY CORPORATION GREAT NECK, NEW YORK • CLEVELAND • NEW ORLEANS • IN CANADA • SPERRY GYROSCOPE COMPANY seeking direction indicator free from the disturbing influences of electrical storms, ship’s magnetism, variation and deviation due to local attraction. With the advent of loran and radar Sperry brought further peace of mind to the shipmaster in helping him surmount the hazards of heavy weather. Sperry Loran gives the modern mariner his position any- time, in all weather, anywhere within range of radio signals from land-based transmitting stations. Sperry Radar is his safeguard and protection when visi- bility is poor . . . permitting his ship to operate on schedule through fog, rain and darkness. Today, this group of three Sperry instruments—with their complementary auxiliaries—provides a vessel with a modern means of making navigation safer, simpler and more efficient.

SHIPS THAT MAKE PORT “ON THE BEAM” How the Raytheon Harbor Radar System protects precious lives and costly cargoes, speeds shipping, cuts costs MARINERS PATHFINDERS RADAR, a recent a ward-winner, is installed on 6 out of 10 trans-oceanic U.S. vessels that have radar, including new, fast liner, S.S. United States. FATHOMETERS®, a product of the Submarine Signal Division of Raytheon,are extremely sensitive depth sounders which accurately register true bottom, obstructions and schools of fish. Millions of dollars are lost every year by shippers and ship operators when ships are unable to maintain schedules in fog-shrouded ports. But a new radar sys- tem pioneered by Raytheon helps to solve this problem. In the Raytheon Harbor Radar System, one or more radar antennas at strategic shore points cover an entire harbor, its channels and approaches. A clear, accu- rate picture of the harbor appears on a large radar screen. Here, day and night, in good weather and bad, a radar operator “sees” every craft, buoy, ob- struction and dock. By means of radiotelephone he talks with the master or pilot aboard ship. With the Raytheon Harbor Radar Sys- tem—now being manufactured for major world ports—each ship can be advised of its exact position with respect to buoys, obstructions, other vessels, docks and land, whether or not it has radar aboard. By combining their skill and ex- perience with modern electronics, pilots are thus able to guide ships in and out of port safely in the thickest weather. By speeding the movement of ships and eliminating hours or days of delay due to bad weather, the Raytheon Harbor Radar System promises to save huge sums for shippers and ship operators, and facilitate the handling of port traffic.

From the elegance of the dining salon to the spacious comfort of the luxury suites, it is evident that detailed thought was given to making the Wilson and the Cleveland truly ships of distinction. Quality is evident, too, far below decks, where four C-E Bent Tube Boilers provide for every power and heating requirement aboard these sea-going hotels.

Navy, the importance of the American Merchant Marine and the Marine Industries, both in wartime and in peacetime. Hence from its earliest inception, over seventy-five years ago, the U. S. Naval Institute and its publication, the Naval Institute Proceedings, have fought for a strong U. S. Merchant Marine. Admiral Mahan, the great writer on naval warfare and national power, emphasized the importance of the Merchant Marine in some of his earliest papers in the Proceedings. Since then the Proceedings has published countless articles on the U. S. Merchant Marine and its problems. Many of these articles have been widely reprinted or quoted, not only by magazines and news- papers, but also by nationally syndicated commentators. Recognizing the vital inter-relation between the Navy and the Merchant Marine, the U. S. Naval Institute advocates a better knowledge and understanding by each, of the problems of the other as well as of their common problems. Hence the U. S. Naval Institute extends a cordial invitation to all individuals of the Merchant Marine and the Marine Industries to become associate members of the U. S. Naval Institute. The post office address is Annapolis, Maryland. Annual dues in the Naval Institute are but $3.00, which brings with it without additional cost a full year’s subscription to the Naval Institute Proceedings. The U. S. Naval Institute is non-profit in its purpose, all its financial resources being committed to the advancement of professional, scientific, and literary knowl- edge of the Navy and maritime and national defense matters. 403 BEST WISHES UNIVERSAL TERMINAL AND STEVEDORING CO. 24 STATE STREET NEW YORK 4, NEW YORK SECTION 53B-242 Front Row: Klei, Hansen, Lane, Grant, Madden, Fitzgerald.

Within these covers are represented many varied skills and talents. To all the persons and organizations who have contributed of their time and interest we wish to express our appreciation. To Rear Admiral Gordon McLintock, Superintendent, and Commander Richard H. O’Connell, Regimental Officer, goes our thanks for understanding cooperation and interest in our undertaking. Without an officer- adviser whose time and advice is constantly available—and infallible—a MIDSHIPS would be lost. We have been blessed in having Lieutenant Commander Victor E. Tyson, Jr. as our guiding and untiring link with the executive department and Lieu- tenant E. H. Northrop to make our literary efforts more readable. We would also like to thank Jimmy Camarata, Athletic Association Business Manager, for his efforts in coordinating our athletic coverage—and the members of our staff for their untiring efforts. Words could never express the appreciation we feel towards the never- ending efforts of Fred Ball for his almost superhuman efforts for MIDSHIPS, having taken our problem to heart as though it were his own. To a skilled professional, Bill Armstrong, goes our thanks for another “creation”. Our gold star for patience, this year, goes to Richie Kramer for his job-like ability in deciphering our weekly com- muniques . . . and to all the rest of the gang at the NEW CITY PRINTING COMPANY for those pleasant Saturdays and the fine work, again, thanks. The por- traits show at a glance the excellent work of Mr. George Routel and the ROUTEL STUDIOS ... acknowledgment is also due to Mr. Henry Blum and the S. K. SMITH COMPANY for another cover of distinction . . . Captain L. H. Morine, Chief, Public Information Division, U. S. Coast Guard, for the helpful pictures and information regarding lighthouses . . . Kamal Aboul Kheir, Attache, Royal Egyptian Embassy, for the picture of the Alexandria lighthouse . . . and last but not least we wish to thank the officers and Cadet-Midshipmen of the Academy and it is to them that we submit this MIDSHIPS 1953 for final approval. 426 THE EDITORS Produced by Engrovotone • NEW CITY PRINTING COMPAN' UNION CITY, N J ! t ■■ ' ■ X- • • •• ■ . .I' '■ ' V ■ X:■ - ■■ Xx .
