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.
