DEDICATION This Class, our class; the class of June 25, 1973, United States Merchant Marine Academy is unique in many ways like every class at every school, yet it is not so different from all classes of our Alma Mater. We have spent 4 years being educated in the ways of the Maritime Industry and the ways of one government institution. Every day we have learned. We have learned best of all about people, about superiors, about peers, about people in government. We have learned that people make all things and that all things are people. All that is of matter is people. We have learned to respect some people and we have learned not to respect others, this respect being independent of our relationship to these people. Our class first learned respect for a man that no class following ours can know. This man is known throughout the Maritime Industry as a man who always looked forward and groped for improvement in the industry. Our respect for this man is shared by several thousand leaders in the Maritime Industry, many of whom are graduates of our Alma Mater. We place our logbook of four years preparation for the Maritime Industry in the hands of the man who prepared this school for us in over 20 years of hard work, the man who led us in our first year at the Academy, our Superintendent, Vice-Admiral Gordon McLintock USMS-Ret.

The period marked the completion of the instrument replacements, resulting in the Regimental Band being one of the only silver military bands in the coun- try: Performances during the 1st of the year included a homecoming half-time show, music for the United Fund in Rockefeller Center, the Dept, of Commerce Awards Cere- mony, and the dedication of the world's largest and fastest container ship, the SS Sea-Land McLean. Jan. 1st saw the band in Dallas, Texas as the official band of the.Cotton Bowl. After participating in the 73 Presidential Parade, the Band staged the 2nd Edition of the Kings Point Tattoo, which proved to be one of the most colorful events ever performed at the Academy. Maritime Day, the Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day parades, reviews, colors every morning, and a summer lawn concert ended the year, making the Band one of the most busy activities at the Academy.

THE SEASON It wasn't what you would call a successful season for the gridiron Blue and Gray. Basically a young, somewhat inexperienced team, faced with an extraordinarily strong schedule that featured nary a breather. Among the nine contests, Kings Point struggled to a 5-4 record by sea- son's end. The offense this season was led by First Classman Dave Buzanoski, the fourth such campaign for him as Mariner guarterback. He was ably backed-up by another First Classman, Bill Emerson. The offense missed Third Classman Eddy Alford, injured during the pre-season, but still mustered some fine receivers in First Classmen Mike Wittich and Bob Kirn, and Second Classman John Wambold. Hidden in the backfield were talented First Classmen Terry Evans, Chuck Lammert, and Mike Bullet Flynn, and Second Classman Bobby Young. They were pro- tected by a young line comprised of Second Classmen Dennis Cashman and Bruce Stephenson and Third Classmen Tom Sirota, Wayne Kelly and Bill Cody. Bright spots in the offense were John Wambold and John Reshore, who continued to break school and conference records in pass receiving and kicking respectively. The defense suffered a setback two-thirds of the way through the sea- son when captain Joe Rizzo, drafted by the Buffalo Bills at season's end, fell with a knee injury. First Classman Nick Klosowsky and Second Class- man Charlie Cheatom held down the tackle positions and ranged behind them were some other fine players, including First Classmen Mick Jackson and Jeff Sebuck, and Second Classman Ivan The Terri- ble Mihajlovic. A bright future for Kings Point was evidenced with the presence among the defensive first eleven” of Third Classman Steve Burak and Fourth Classman Ken Nelson. sixty-eight Head Coach G.

Despite the influx of the first recruited for soccer plebes, their lack of college experience and the absence of senior depth on the team paid its toll. For its first game, the team travelled up the Hudson to the environs of West Point, where they suffered a devastating 8-0 loss. The inexperience continued to show as the Mariners went I and 5 for the first six games, losing again by a wide margin to the powerful N.Y.U. However, at midseason, the team was turned completely around, starting with a close win over Manhattan 3-2. The team then went undefeated, with victories over Hofstra and Fordam, to finish up the season with a 7-4-1 record. This was enough to give Coach Wemersbach his first winning season in three years coaching with a final third place for the 1972 season. Post season league honors went to Bill Hughes 2 c and Curt Langrebe 4 c. With the loss of only four First classmen, and the gain in experience, the outlook for the 1973 season looks very bright. eighty r 0 PISTOL SCOREBOARD K.P. OPPONENT K.P.

The swim team entered its 1972-1973 season with its strongest team ever. Returning from last year's team were Co-Captains Jim Bren- nan and All American Kurt Yost, Mike and Pat Aten, George Cate, Mark Riepen, Bill Knowlton, and Jack Sexton. The additions of fresh- men John Nunnelly and Mark Kodis provided strength in every event. The team's dual meet record was 8-3 with its biggest win coming over Central Connecticut, the school's first ever. After spending Christmas training in Florida, the swim team returned to win seven meets in a row before losing to undefeated Monmouth. Kings Point became the surprise team of the Metropolitan conference Championships as they finished second overall defeating Mon- mouth for the first time ever. Kurt Yost won five gold medals, set five conference records, and was named Most Valuable Swimmer for the second year in a row. Jim Brennan and John Nunnelly also became Metropolitan champs and record holders as did Mark Riepen and Mike Aten. George Cate finished strong in both the one and three meter diving. The entire team posted their best times as I 7 of 18 varsity records were broken. The College Division Nationals were the most successful in Kings Point's brief history of participation. Jim Brennan and Kurt Yost closed out their careers by combining to achieve All-American in four individual events and one relay. This was the second year in a row that Kurt Yost had achieved All American. Yost was also chosen to Outstanding College Athletes of America for the same two years. John Nunnelly and Pat Aten were also named to the All American list thus giving the team four All-Americans in one year, an unprece- dented event in the history of Kings Point athletics. The swim team finished 12th out of over 60 schools, a fitting end to the team's most successful year ever. Captain Negratti, All American Kurt Yost, Admiral Engel. SCOREBOARD K.P. 77 COLUMBIA . . .

The team faced the toughest schedule since wrestling began at the Academy. They wrestled such powerhouses as Hofstra. Montclair, Northern Illinois. Slippery Rock and East Stroudsberg. The team was captained by first classmen John Sied- lecki (53-7-2) and Doug Hanscom (48-7-2). The team had a surprise comeback in Ivan Mehajlovic who put-it-together in the Met tourna- ment taking a third after coming off a broken leg. First classman Jim Bise also came a long way and placed third in the tourney. Super- Soph Brian Tanton, Peter Zindler and Gary Schrock 4 c all had good standings in the tourney and helped the Kings Point wrestling team cap- ture a 4th place. The team looks forward to next year's season with returning lettermen Mehajlovic, Tanton, Buffone, Zindler, Wolken, Miller, Schrock, and Mehr. Coach Kempf and Paul Mehr 3 c SCOREBOARD K.P.

With the loss of six let- termen from the Class of 1972 and Third Classman Neil Snape (All-Island player 1972), the basketball team had to shape many new faces into the starting lineup. The team had a slow start, but after their first win, an upset against Brooklyn College, the team showed signs of being a real threat. The 1972-1973 season was an unusual one for the Kings Point Hoopsters in that they beat the teams they should not have and lost to the teams they should have beaten. Some surprise wins were against Hofstra, Stonehill, and Adelphi. Six Fourth Classmen were on the varsity squad and the 1973-1974 season looks promising. Although a 9-1 6 record is not indicative of a good sea- son, especially in the eyes of Coach Buckley whose overall win record is 77%, the team enjoyed those moments of victory over some very tough teams. ninety-two SCOREBOARD K.P.

Van Tassel, Captain Prosser. ninety-six ninety-eight The Kings Point Sailing team had a rather quiet spring sea- son plagued with hard luck. The team finished first in only three major events, the Engineer's Cup, the annual Yacht Racing Invite, and the Varsity Elims. In the Service Academy Dinghy Regatta held at the Royal Military College in Canada and the Service Academy Yawl Regatta held at the Coast Guard Academy, Kings Point finished a close second. The Sailing team will have a hard time next fall filling spaces left empty by this year's graduates. First Classmen, under the guidance of Captain Prosser, carry most of the weight in the organization of the Sailing Team. They organize regattas, take responsible positions as skippers of big boats, train underclass- men racing skills, and generally make most of the decisions on the waterfront. The dinghy team will be missing the exceptional talents of Gary Robson and Mich Buzzell when they begin the fall season in 1974. Gary and Mick carried most of the weight this year in keeping Kings Point among the top ten racing schools in the nation. Gary was one of the few skippers to be nominated for All-American in 1973. Mick served as dinghy captain and con- tributed quite a bit in Shields and big boat racing. In Shields, •Mich skippered the Sailing Team to a second place in the Shields Championship. The Shields team will be missing the tal- ents of not only Mick Buzzell, but also Bill Abernathy, Doug Hoogs, Tom Moms Merrigan, and Bill Glover. Bill Aberna- thy, acting as Shields team captain, organized many Shields races for the team. Bill Glover, Tom Merrigan, and Doug Hoogs contributed their knowledge in teaching the underclass the art of Shields racing. One of the most responsible positions on the waterfront is skipper of a big boat. The experience and seamanship of Gary Van Tassel, Leo Carey, Bob Burhenn, Richard Stewart, and Seth Harris will be missed greatly for the 1974 season. These men also make the major decisions pertaining to waterfront policy, use and maintenance of boats, and instruction to green midshipmen in the art of sailing. one hundred two CREW KP SCOREBOARD OPPONENT LOST COASTGUARD H.W.: WON L.W.: 2nd FORDHAM H.W.: 3rd L.W.: 3rd MARIST H.W.: WON STONYBROOK L.W.: LOST WON KERR CUP 2nd OVER ALL N.Y.

By the end of the season many of the goals had been either reached or sur- passed. The 1973 crew team was led by Co- Captains Dave Sauer I c and Ralph Torjusen I c. Two other first classmen, namely Dave Buzanoski and Nick Klosowski helped the team win the Championship Eight Race and the overall point trophy at the Kerr Cup and also helped capture the N. Y. Metropolitan Cham- pionship Regatta. The 1973 Crew team had real guts and put Kings Point in the Record Books. Without the determination and dedication of the the two volunteer coaches, Nutsy Halsted and Art Fah- erty, the 1973 Crew team would have never been just that. . .a team! one hundred three ■IMI I ■MB ira� BASEBALL STANDING (L.-R.)

John Nunnenkamp pitched a 4-0 shutout over Stevens and John Reshore slammed a home run and a single to defeat Manhattan 7-6. The next few games were disheartening for the Mariners as they faced the toughest part of their schedule. The Mariners played well but were on the losing end in close games against Stony- brook, Pace, Baruch, Queens, Central Conn, and St. Francis. There were many outstanding individual efforts namely, Mike Flynn's home run and Guy Donaldson's triple and single in the Pace game. Dennis Strahl showed promise with two doubles and a single against St. Francis. The Mariners soon mended their ways by posting a 2-0 victory over tough Brooklyn College. John Nunnenkamp pitched excellently, grabbing his second shutout of the season while allowing only three hits. Mike Flynn showed style and poise on the mound as he came away with a 4-0 victory over Hunter College. Captain Mike Mannion sparked the win with two singles and a triple. Once again, John Nunnenkamp displayed his excellence on the mound against Hofstra by allowing only four hits, but Hofstra squeezed by with a 3-1 win. Wagner College proved tough, but First Classman Ed Klauke exhibited near perfection at the plate with three hits. While losing valuable lettermen in Captain Mike Mannion, Mike Flynn, Ed Klauke, Bob Hammer, and Mike Garvin, the Mariners are enthusiastically looking forward to the 1974 season, with the return of John Strausser, John Reshore, Dennis Strahl, and Knick Conference All-Star John Nunnenkamp. one hundred seven Fourth Classman Dennis Strahl 3t,f V 1973 Knick Conference and All-Star, John Nunenkamp one hundred eight l' l one hundred ten After sweeping through the opposition in the Metropolitan B League and capturing the con- ference championship with an unblemished 9-0 league record (11-2 overall) in 1972, the Mariner tennis team earned a spot in the A” division for 1973. This year's team consisted of four returning let- termen of that 1972 championship team, but it was not enough. The powerhouses of St. John, Iona, and Brooklyn College proved to be just that . . . pow- erhouses. But the Mariners still pulled together for a winning season. Steve Jochmans, team captain, headed the sin- gles corps. He was followed by Craig Nelson 3 C, Rick Krahn 2 C. Neal McManus 3 C, George Cate l C, and Paul Willers 4 C.

SCRUM DOWN The infamous Kings Point Rugby Football team bopped into its fourth year of competition as wild as ever but on a disap- pointing note. The fall season began suspiciously enough as the Mariners nearly upset powerful New York in the season opener. After a three game string of victories, however, the team fell onto hard times and staggered to a 4-6 record. The second side fared even worse with a 2-5-1 slate. The spring edition received a much needed transfusion with the debut in the scrum of Second Classmen Bruce 'Stomper Stephenson, Roger Cherewatti, and John Walters, and the return from sea of veteran Third Classman Charlie Seidl. They ioined with Harry Hotel'' Wicks and the battered survivors of the original 1970 contingent, First Classmen Gary Faber, Tom O'Hara, John Nicoll, and team captain Thad Miller. The backs were also bolstered with the return from sea of Third Classmen Bill Howe and Al Pelletien, the arrival of ingenues Eddy Quick Fien and John Wambold, and the promotion of Fourth Classman John Crawford to the first side. Together with First Classmen Arty Strenkert, Dave Weferling and Absarokee Baken, and Sec- ond Classmen John Vanacore and Ed Tweedy, they comprised the fleetest, finest stable of backs ever assembled on the Mari- ner pitch. Indeed, the club was off to a blazing start this spring, winning their first four matches, including a prestigious rout of powerful Old Blue, who suffered their first setback in two and a half years. The second side gave notice to Kings Point's rivals that the Mari- ners would continue its winning ways in future years, as it took its first four matches, also, shutting out its opponents in three of them. I TRACK This year has been a very successful one for the Academy's track team. The highlights of the indoor season were the outstanding performances of Paul Stewart, who won the CTC Indoor mile-walk in record breaking time, and Ken Reynolds, who won the Metro- politan AAU Junior one-mile walking title. This was also the year of the speedsters. Par- ris Beverly and Joe Castagna took first and second places in the J.V. section of the 60 yard dash in the Indoor CTC Championships, with Bev tying the record set by a former Kings Point sprint star. Al Will. Dan Ragsdale established himself as one of the finest long jumpers in the Metropolitan area by taking fifth place in the Senior Metropolitan long jump in January among some of the best jumpers in the east. Although Kings Point did well enough individually during the indoor season, it was the outdoor season when both individual and team performances gave the Academy a name. With the increased number of dual, triangular, and quadrangular meets, Kings Point had a very successful season. Its record was 12 wins and 5 losses. Once again the team was led by Capt. Joe Castagna. who finished in third place in the varsity 220 run in the CTC Outdoor Championships against some of the finest dashmen in the area. Parris Beverly once again was a very strong competitor in the sprints with Joe Castagna also an outstanding defense backfield man for the K.P. football team. Joe also led the 440 men with a best time of 49.5 for the anchor leg on the K.P.’s mile relay. His kid brother Jack was also one of the best quarter-milers on the team, along with Milty Gonzales, Fred Kratt, Andy Karnowski, and Tim Vanderbilt. The mile relay ran its best time of 3:25.1 in a quadrangular meet against CCNY. FDU, and Rider. The middle distance had a plethora of fine 880-men. Jim Textor (also a football player), Gary Gregorek. Gary Lenehan. Rich Maxwell, and Tom Denning all ran the 880 between 2:01 to 2:03. The dis- tance squad was led by Danny Slobodzian who also was the best man on the cross-coun- try team in the fall. Dan was never beaten by a teammate either in cross-country, indoor, or the outdoor seasons in any race from the one-mile run up. Chris Robbins was the sup- porting man in the distance events. In the hurdles K.P. was very strong throughout the entire indoor and outdoor seasons. John Wambold. who holds the K.P. football record for most receptions, won the CTC J.V. 60 yard hurdle title in record time. He was fol- lowed across the line by Jake Stahl (also a football player of potential). With Marty Schramm returning to the Academy after his sea-year stint. K.P. had three very strong men in the hurdles for almost the entire year. In the field events. K.P. was strong in the shot put with Charlie Milazzo. Gerry Kast- ner. Lonnie Miles, and Sherman Drew. Drew was one of the great surprises during the outdoor season, having developed exceptionally fast in the discus and shot. Bill Cody returned from sea to help the squad in the shot. Besides Drew in the discus, Milazzo, Miles, and Addlesperger were the key men in the discus. John Richardson and Steve Wilson, the latter a converted 440 man. were the pole vaulters for the team. They reached I I feet and should improve with experience. Miles was probably the most ver- satile field man on the squad. After picking up the hammer late in the season he devel- oped quickly and competed in this event as well as the shot and discus and even threw the javelin on occasions. The jumpers were also fine competitors with Tim Vanderbilt (also a luminary on the mile relay) and Dan Ragsdale leading the way in both the long and triple jumps. Jim Slattery did well in the jumps also to give the team good depth. With the loss of Kenny Reynolds and Paul Stewart, both sailing during the outdoor sea- son, K. P. had a second-place finisher in the outdoor CTC two-mile walk in Jack Menen- dez. who was competing in his first year as a walker. Coaches Jack Sussi and Bill Omeltchenko feel that with the very young squad at hand and with the expectation of having a 440 yard all-weather tartan track installed in the very near future, track at the Academy should be one of the strongest teams. one hundred twenty-two BACK ROW (L.-R.)

The Long Island Cham- pionship was held at Eisenhower Park and for the second year in three, Kings Point took first place. This year the margin was eight shots over the second place team. The scores for the Mariners were quite impressive with a 77 for Bischofberger, 78 for Bren- nan, 79 for Formas and an 83 for Mitchell. Playing in the lineup for 1973 were team captain Jim Brennan, Charlie Bischofberger, Dave Formas, Pete Mitchell, Jim Wester- velt, Bruce Dirt Fernie and John Tree Smasher Hoerber. The team started off cold due to lack of practice but came on toward the end of the season finishing with a 5-5-1 league record. Playing consistently good golf this year were Brennan, Bischof- berger, and Formas. The team will lose only three men to gradu- ation, but Coach Ecker anticipates a successful 1974 season with Bischofberger, Formas, and Mitchell. VARSITY Varsity Awards Dinner I FOOTBALL JOCKS: W.

At one of the capitalist country's nerve cen- lers, the USMMA, our sly un- dercover agent Boris Pasternak, lias discovered a most disturbing but interesting phenoma. Below are some excerpts from his microfilm reports. •Under the auspices of the National Maritime Research Center's special project ot satellite Navigation, a complex program has been initialed which may cause alarm for all sickle - bearers. Since late in 1970 ac- livilies at the USMMA. have captured my attention and now 1 have finally cracked their un- derhanded intentions. Beginning with research into liquified Natural Gas, which 1 believe will replace their atomic warheads, to the present ex- , cavation of young trees on cer- tain parts of the Academy j grounds, which I am certain is to |. make way for miniature tracking I and placement dishes, the USMMA is destined to become the key of all attack operations of the United Stales. The recent construction of a thirty foot tracing dish, which they claim is (or improvement of ocean navigation, is really the most sophisticated detection dish ever assembled land it only took four days). Although my work is yet in- complete, I have strong reason to believe that underground missies are located in the drain pipes of k upper Roosevelt Field; and the new policy of not permitting the d cadets to enter a nearby forest, d renders strong suspicion that A missile or other destructive I weapons are within. New construction which is i planned on Samuels by the Sea. | mie of the Academy's academic i uuildings, should, in the near I future reveal more devious i uperalions, such as an extensive I submarine simulator for safe navigation of their missile carrying subs in different con- ditions on the straits of I Bosporous. The whole operation is an in- dicate network which connects various parties. 1 believe that among the list of those in cahoots with the defense department are: die department of Public Works excavation work) Weather Ted predicts when air is stable for launch), NCAA vdrill underwater missile sights;, Lew the - (whose milur activities are a coverup, he the project co-ordinator, a calculating man), Van (Lews “distant co-ordinator), and dually the gale guards (whose ever ending vigil produce maximum security)!!!!!

QUINTON HOJOE'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT 1. The class of 73 received more demerits than any class to date. 2. The fourth class under the class of 73 received less demer- its than any previous fourth class. 3. There were more unused long weekends held by the class of 73 than any other first class. 4. There were more formal inspections held during the '72-73 academic year than any previous academic year. 5. The SKULL OF THE YEAR AWARD went to Rex Laws l c, when his car was stolen. 6. The NO SKULL OF THE YEAR AWARD went to Midship- man Laws I c when his car was found intact. 7. More demerits were given out by administrative personnel than by Midshipman-Officers in '72- 73. 8. The October 1972 Block M” was the first such social gather- ing since January 1970. 9. POLARIS peaked and crashed again in '72-73 due to an honest alcoholic editor (who got his 'just' reward) and crew. 10. The biggest social upheaval of the year was when Maurice's Bar closed down and became a boutique shop called Steamboat Square. I I. The administrative concession of the year occurred when rev- eille was moved from 0600 to 0610. 12. The class of 73 survived the longest first class year of any class up-to-date (AUGUST I, 1972 to June 25, 1973). two hundred sixty eight HEAR THIS VOICE OF THE REGIMENT EDITORIALS Several weeks ago a dangerous, subversive plot was discovered here which, had it not been stopped in time, would have opened our swinging gates wide to man’s historically recognized yet only recently organized enemy - that group of determined fanatics who since Creation have undermined our greatest achievements. Who were they, this un - named mob, who threatened the very foundations of this venerable institution? Women, thats who. Thirteen of them, in varying sizes, shapes and colors showed up to try out for spots on our rally squad. It seems that several middies, treacherously mesmerized by large brown (or was it blue?) eyes and the sweet smell of exotic perfumes fell prey to and even encouraged this nefarious plot. In fact, when finally discovered, sizes for sweaters and other unmentionables had been taken, nine of them knew Heave Ho (both verses), and several were humming the Alma Mater!! But of course, with eternal vigilance as our password, leveler more experienced sentries ferreted out and exposed this shocking breach of security. When it was all over, the plot squashed, one member of the Phys. Ed. Dept, was heard to say, “This is an all male school so why shouldn’t we have male cheerleaders?’’ Kings Point, beware the wrath of a woman scorned. jam . . . when i was a plebe . . . new desks . . . . i ; ' . : i two hundred seventy I .this is a recording . . . we're giving control . . . coke machine offi In Memoriam Memorial services were recently held in the Mariner’s Chapel for Lt. Ray Ach, who suffered a fatal heart attack. Lt. Ach had only resigned from his post as Company Officer at the Academy last November. When farewell dinners and parties were held at the Officer’s Club, no one had ever expected that they would be such permanent farewells. Services were attended by many Midshipmen, Faculty, and other Academy friends that had been associated with Lt. Ach during his thirty years of devoted service to Kings Point and the Corps, as the Regiment was referred to during most of his association with the Academy. Thirty years is a long span of time, and for Ray Ach it was just enough time to become attached to his job; his job came to mean much to him, probably more than he or anyone else realized, until that solemn day in Delano Hall when he was over come by emotion when he ad- dressed the Regiment. It was at this time too that Midshipmen reflected on the past, and realized what the “Ray Bird” was; he was a warm and devoted person. Lt. Ray Ach lies in Peace, but there is still an echo at Kings Point that will remain in memorium of his service.

Alexander, Jr. Not having any definite plans for the next four years of his life and exercising the devil may care, high .school senior attitude of I’ll try anything once, young Tommy left him- self wide open to be shanghaied in the summer of '69. The following four years proved to be trying, but with the aid of good friends, overnight liberty, understanding parents and the arrival of Dr. Pepper in New York, they flew by with the swiftness of a crippled gazelle. During these four years, Tommy found himself with an over- abundance of energy, probably a result of all of the sleep he was getting In Fulton Hall. Rugby and sailing proved to be very good remedies for this condition. His stay at Kings Point gave Tommy much knowledge, professional and other- wise, making him a much wiser young man.

Being one of the chosen few who joined the century club, he got to see the way of life here at the academy from a different point of view. However, it seemed that as soon as he finally got settled down, it was off to San Francisco and the beginning of one of many trips to the Far East. To say the sea year was an eye opener is putting the situation mildly and when Roger returned from sea he found that he had a new outlook on life and that he had some changes to be made. He soon found himself involved in Land Hall which was to keep' him busy for the rest of the time aboard. The only other thing that kept Roger busy was keeping from being the anchor man of the class.

Fecteau Dave comes from up north in God's Country, at least that's who they call Bobby Orr up there. Dave managed to finance his four years at Kings Point on money he won from foolish New Yorkers betting on Bovin-Ranger Hockey Games. He added a new dimension to the local language as he taught his Tennessee and New York roommates how to Paak CaasTn Haavad Yaad. Eventually, they saw the light and he was able to divert his efforts from English language improvement to sailing and basketball. Between the two, he managed to stay aloof from the Regimental system and he soon started drifting away from the Academic system. He became an A-Split and soon found it was more fun throwing erasers than studying. He started his long dive from 13th in the class to I IOth. Actually fcfis dive would have been much lower if it hadn't been for that greet asset of this Academy, the Sea Year. This in addition to the Newport to Bermuda Yacht Race afforded Dave the rest and relaxation he needed to start his climb back up the acadermp ladder, still he continues his sailing and his one-on-one basketball.' The sailing team came as close as one place from being the number one sailfng team in the nation and he and his teammates still chase that elusive goal. The first day he arrived, he asked himself a question that the administration, he is confident, must also be pondering 'What the heck am I doing at a Military Academy? As he leaves he has an answer. He is leaving Kings Point, Fun CapitoPof the World, in hopes that he may continue playing basketball and sail every afternoon of his life in the big bad world.

Needless to say. he and several of his cronies frequently took dinner liberty for the purpose of getting a home-cooked meal which occasionally turned out to be an almost lethal liquid dinner on the rocks, of course. Like most middies, Dave spent a minimum amount of time studying, a maximum amount partying and an uncanny amount Z'ing. However, he had unusually good luck with the ponies which contributed to his being awarded an occa- sional gold star. As a firm believer in the adage, The pen is more powerful than the sword, Dave frequently wrote feature stories for the Academy's newspaper and aspires to be another Hem- ingway — someday. Although he helped to organize the 1973 Ring Dance (and the pool party which followed), Dave will probably be bet- ter remembered for the record-breaking number of Traffic Tickets he holds.

At an early age he decided that what he wanted out of life was a uniform and a career at sea. After four years at Kings Point, Dan is no longer a hopeless romantic, although it is felt by many that he is still quite hopeless. Dan found life at the Academy rigorous and challenging, and by far, the most challenge he faced every day was that of staying awake in class. Despite Dan's bittersweet love affair with the enticing Z-God, he always managed (much to the amazement of parents, friends and enemies, to say nothing of the indifferent masses) to partic pate in various athletic and club activities, and almost effortlessly to scoop up an academic star every quarter.

Mokris Coming from the small landlocked town of Wadsworth, Ohio Dave was a little wet behind the ears, but with the pace of Academy and sea life learned fast. Dave had many interests and manifested his peculiar love for singing in the Glee Club, proficiency in sailing on the Strictly for Fun Sail- ing Team, desire for honor among Midshipmen as Chairman of the Regimental Honor Board interest in physical fitness as Regimental Intramurals officer, and concern for other people by giving a hand in any venture whenever he could. For Dave, Plebe year brought the first substantial time away from home, calisthenics at 5:30 in the morning, never enough time, hurry up and walt .-awkwardness, and the beach and the boardwalk. Pii d class year, running by, brought him the sea, maturity, lessons in biding time, and Friday nights out with friends. Second cjbss year came along with more sea time, the fundamentals of learning to cope, a beginning to accept responsibilify, and pictures and invita- tions for June Weekend. A first callrnan. He finally made it. First class year, the culmination of fjjur swift years, brought an awakening to life, confidence1, the opportunity to get to know old friends, outrageous and unforgettable times with these friends cheering at Mariner football game as and singing on long Glee Club trips, great times, walking in the rain, the Christmas Dance, and as fitting ending, First Class year brought an outlook for a happy and meaningful life.

O’Hara After a singularly unspectacular academic and military career at a quaint little school house somewhere in Manhattan's Greenwich Vil- lage twenty miles from his Floral Park home, Tom decided it was time to take that big step and leave his home to attend College. Although it meant leaving family and friends far behind, he did so, traveling eight miles to Great Neck, Long Island, where he was enrolled, proc- essed, indoctrinated, educated, and saturated at the K.P. College. As he looks back on his four year odyssey through this unusual institu- tion, he sees his unspectacular career continued through another chapter. And yet, he is curiously pleased. There weren't many activi- ties to his credit. He was a marginal football player for two and a half seasons, until he was irrevocably lost to Rugby, a hooligan sport appealing greatly to his degenerate nature, which he first played in his plebe spring. He enjoyed writing, and in the twilight of his K.P. career contributed to Polaris': and Hear This. Although his writing generally leaned towards the perverse Tom hopes that he made a few people laugh; perhaps even to think a little. Tom wasn't much regimentally, deciding to captain the chapel team instead. Not an outstanding record, and yet a satisfaction exists. There were a lot of bad times, and a lot of good times, too. Tom met some fine people he'll never forget, with whom he shared some of the funniest, saddest, most frustrating, greatest experiences of his life. He learned a lot about life at its best and worst at Kings Point and in the far corners of the Earth. He leaves Kings Point a wiser, hopefully better person. SHIPS: SS Nancy Lykes. USNS Chauvenet.

Spielmann Kord left Philadelphia in the early hours on the morning of July 20, 1969. As on many other such trips he had taken, it was a rainy miserable day. Soon he found himself within the confines of the Academy going through indoctrination. It sure left an impression on his memory. Kord’s life at the Academy is one where going on liberty came first, talking in small groups with others was second and studying came in third. As finals were upon him, he found that the Goddess of the 2.0 always got him through as long as he gave a small offer- ing to her. New York, as well as any other port Kord visited during his life as a Kings Pointer, gave him more time for leisure activ- ities and less time for studying. Through some miracle he got his work completed each quarter and now he is impa- tiently awaiting his handshake with the admiral on June 25, 1973. SHIPS: SS Pioneer Commander, SS Export Buyer.

Through school till the present, Dan has also been in the Scouts, and now has his own troop. While in high school, he was active in student government, vice president of his graduating class, a varsity diver, and President of the school choir and Male Chorale. Upon arrival at Kings Point, Dan continued his, involvement in extracurricular activities, and by his senior year, he was President of Midn. Activities, Honor Guard Commander. President of the Art Club, on the Land Hall governing board, and part of the Protestant Choir. Through this, he also managed to do well academically.

The difficulty is made bearable by the people you meet and work with, and by the people you build the book for. And then, the job can be made more difficult when faced within the confines of an institution such as Kings Point. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our yearbook sponsors for their years of support, as some of these maritime industry companies have been advertising since the opening days of our Maritime Academy. Many administrative personnel have had an effect on the production of this annual and the lives of those who worked directly on it. The most effective administrators were Capt. E. W. Knutsen and Cdr. F. W. Menser. The most helpful administrative member was Mrs. Rita Leignadier. A special thanks goes to our Taylor Publishing Company representative Mr. Richard LoPachin for his unending dedication and expertise in supporting this book through its trials and tribulations of '73 and for being a true friend to the MIDSHIPS staff, our class and the Academy. Messurs Richard and Steven Slutsker aided our staff with personal representation of their Lorstan-Thomas Studios in all photography needs. Thank you Dick and Steve. The MIDSHIPS '73 staff was made up of a fine cross-section of true-to-life KP '73 material. These men, I'm sure, all will agree, have done a job and have shown KP as KP really is. '73 was a class to break tradition to make progress. Our staff has attempted to follow in this manner in spite of the unfortunate incidents that occurred, even up through the days before graduation. I hope all of you will join with me in thanking the men who made this book. We're outta here! David C. Hicks Editor -in- Chief AMERICAN TRADING TRANSPORTATION WAUKESHA MOTOR DIVISION COMPANY, INC.
