Here, on a flag, is a smaller emblem of curious design and proud sig- nificance. It is the Battle Standard, which sets Kings Point apart from its sister academies, as the sole federal training institution which has sent her undergraduate sons out to meet the enemy in wartime and to die at his hands. The standard is a silent reminder that the class- room in which from 1941 to 1945, every Kings Pointer received at least one fourth of his educa- tion was in a combat zone. During those four years, unlike his peers entering other colleges, civilian or military, he faced and knew from the start he faced the prospect of being eye to eye with the enemy. The Cadet Corps might be in training for a non-military profession, but it could take an astringent pride that being frequently un- der fire was emphatically synonymous with being under the Articles of War. Its aspect recalls medieval heraldic banners. Its groundwork is the thirteen red and white stripes, without stars, which were first adpoted as the first merchant flag of the United States by the Conti- nental Congress, but never confirmed by its Fed- eral successor under the Constitution. Superim- posed on this ground is a modification of the Academy seal, an eagle above a shield, which dis- plays the same horizontal stripes. Below this em- blem, and nearer the fly is a blue compass rose with the numerals 142, the number of Kings Point Cadet-Midshipmen lost in action during the sec- ond World War. Colored streamers from the tip of the staff signal the Cadet Corps' battle honors. The Battle Standard is a symbol of Kings Point- ers and the sea.

Opening 9 On Tuesday March 15, 1938, a General Order was issued in Washington D.C., by what that year's average American probably thought of as merely the latest in the long parade of New Deal agencies, the United States Maritime Commission. There was nothing melodramatic about General Order 23. In deadpan govenmental language, it stated that the Maritime Commission was as- suming jurisdiction and direction of the fed- eral maritime cadet training system. The sys- tem was already fourty seven years old. This is why the ninety-nine cadets then serving on subsidized vessels, who awak- ened on the morning of March 15, 1938, as supernumerary employees of the steamship companies, turned in that night, on the same ships as members of an organization soon to become known as the United States Mer- chant Marine Cadet Corps and for what be- came its permanent home and fourth federal service college, the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, Long Island, New York. Any child or institution born in 1938 into a darkly troubled yet peversely hopeful world, a world simultaneously recovering from one disease and falling prey to a worse one. America and Europe were finally pulling out of the Great Depression; yet what most civi- lizations regarded as the foundations of civ- lized life at the same time were under attack from almost every point of the compass. Germany was already fully committed to a violent totalitariansim. Federal policy, as enunciated in the Mer- chant Marine Act, called for a merchant fleet adequate to meet national defense needs, and to carry a substantial share of our foreign commerce plus our entire waterborne do- mestic commerce. Inducements to build and operate such a fleet were provided in the form of what Franklin Roosevelt had called honest subsidies. Based for the first time on the differential between American and foriegn costs. All vessels receiving operat- ing differential subsidies were required by law to include in their manning scales a spec- ified number of cadets in training. General Order 23 had been targeted on the three most conspicuous shortcomings of the former shipboard training system: indis- criminate selection, lax supervision, and ab- sence of a uniform curriculum. To correct for the first it directed that subsidized com- panies henceforth choose their cadets from an eligible list complied by the Commis- sion. This new dispensation was widely pub- licized by a Commission release inviting in- terested eligibles to apply for cadetships. This offer proved to be unexpectedly attrac- tive and, in retrospect, ill advised. By No- vember the Special Advisory Board was swamped with 3,725 applications, of which 1,971 qualified their senders for an eligible list. Yet in that month there were only 119 cadets serving, and the total available berths anticipated for the future numbered 300. 10 Opening By regulations issued in October 1939, the cadet training course was set a four .ea s: ’he first, second, and as o be spem on shipboard, the third in shores de schooling. This timetable a - lowed headquarters two ears to de- elop dr v- and classroom facilities But it was ’me o shift focus to the tie d. There was a need to establish the three Port District receiving stations. The Pa- ciific Coast was ’he first to get its rece • - irs station n operation. The first four cace s appointed by the Maritime Co—r iss on ur der the new system re- ported to the California State October 2, 1939. it was compelled to close janu- ary 1940, when the California State sailed on her annual training cruise. The Atlantic Coast receiving s’ation and cadet school was somewhat less harried by tenancy problems than its Pacific counterpart. Phillip C. Mahady, the Mew York Port Instructor knocked at the gate of the Xe� r York Merchant Marine Academy. That school s Cap- tain James Harvey Torr b, always sympa- thetic the the budding Cadet corps .agreed that he Mar vime Commission might pay room and board for quar- ters and share in the use of the recently opened training facilities at Fort Schyler. The first two federal cadets as- signed o that base arrived October 16, 1939. If the New York District had the smoothest sailing, the New' Orleans District had, by all odds, the roughest. To begin w ?h, there .as no state mari- time academy on the Gulf Coast to which the federal program might look to for shelter. t er the armed services seemed to have no storefront space ■ % ill Clockwise from below: Learning how to use a stadi- meter.

It was not until spring of 1940 that Captain John Hope Clark, the District Cadet Training In- structor could announce the estab- lishment of a receiving station at the Coast Guard Air Station in Biloxi, Mississippi. By June 30 three cadets reported there. On October 5, 1940, soon after the outbreak of war in Europe, ca- dets began to be enrolled as ''Ca- dets, Merchant Marine Reserve, with a grade of Midshipman when called to active duty. This develop- ment, the upshot of a lenghtly dis- cussions between the Maritime Commission and the Navy Depart- ment reaffirmed the interdepen- dence of the naval and merchant services. This reserve plan laid the foundation for the title Midship- man and the Naval Reserve wings which Kings Pointers-with one eight year lapse-have worn ever since. By the fall of 1941, overcrowding at the Cadet schools had reached crisis proportions. Telfair Knight, Di- rector of the Division for training, urgently reiterated his request that the Maritime Commission acquire its own training facilities. A young offi- cer at Washington Headquarters, Lauren S. McCready explored the Atlantic Coast unsuccessfully from Baltimore to Newport News in No- vember. Suddenly, the search was over. Early in December, it was learned that the twelve acre estate of the late Walter P. Chrysler at Kings Point was for sale by his heirs. Legis- lation authorizing the transaction was approved by the President March 4, 1942. By that date every building, from the mansion the greenhouses and garages had been put to some training use. 12 Opening Facing page top to bottom: Cadets leaving New Orleans District Office, Artists con- ception of the United Stats Coast Guard Merchant Marine Academy.

TO COMMEMORATE cadet midshipmen AND GRADUATES OF THE U S MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY LOST IN WORLD WAR II General Order 28, which superseded 23, provided that the eligible list should henceforth be base on a National Com- petitive Examination. The first examina- tion was held on April 17, 1939. Pre- pared by the American Council of Education, it covered six subjects: Grammar, Literature, History, Algebra, Geometry, and Physics. The examina- tion was taken by 450 applicants, 166 passed. Later examinations were held January 29 and November 16 1940, and June 7, 1941, with 740 applicants sur- viving. The fifth examination was taken by 395 candidates on a December Sat- urday when Japanese carriers were manuvering into launching formation a few hundred miles north of Oahu. There was never time to correct it. From the moment Congress declared war on December 8, 1941, there were cadets at sea, and imminently under at- tack. Of the 445 then in training at least two-thirds were aboard ship, since the original four year (ship-ship-shore- ship) training plan had run as yet barely three years. In subsequent months, this floating component steadily increased. War conditions often intervened to disrupt the orderly rotation of students from Basic to Ship to Advanced, cadets were unavoidably kept at sea beyond their scheduled return, and it became necessary to make alternate curricular provisions whereby the requirements of the second and even first class year might be fufilled on board ship. At the peak of its training operations, be- tween 3500 and 4000 cadet-midship- men were waterborne at one time. Despite the increasingly lethal po- tential of going to sea, the Cadet Corps' luck held. No cadet lives were lost from war causes before December 7, 1941, or for more than three months after that infamous date. Though the subma- rine offensive against American ship- ping broke in full fury almost at once, they almost lasted out the whole winter intact. On March 19 the blow finally fell. On that day the old shipping board freighter Liberator of Lykes Brothers Steamship company was lost by enemy action, and with her Cadet Howard Payne Conway, Jr. The Battle Standard count had begun. + 71 Perhaps, the most famous cadet, lost during the war, was the Acade- my's second winner of the Distin- guished Service Medal, and the first to give his life in winning it. Edwin J. O'Hara, an engine cadet from Cali- fornia, had completed his basic training at San Mateo before being assigned to the Liberty Stephen Hopkins. He was never to return for his advance license training. His ship was westbound alone in the South Atlantic September 27, 1942, when she sighted what ap- peared to be two stopped cargo ves- sels but were actually the German commerce raider Stier and her blockade running supply ship Tan- nenfels. The latter was lightly armed, but the Stier's firepower included a battery of six 5.9 inch guns plus nu- merous smaller weapons, and two torpedo tubes. Stephen Hopkins had a 4 inch gun at the stern, an anti- aircraft mount, and five machine guns. Predictablly, Stephen Hopkins was smashed and sinking in twenty min- utes. But astonishingly, the raider too was mortally wounded thanks to the seamanship of the master. Paul Buck, the marksmanship of Ensign Kenneth Willett and the courage of O'Hara. When the ship's magazine had been blown up and Willett, seri- ously wounded at the start of the action, finally collapsed dead among his crew, the 18-year old engineer- ing student ran to the shattered gun tub and singlehandedly fired the five remaining shells, hitting both Nazi ships. O'Hara's medal was posthu- mously presented to his mother, March 15, 1943. Each cadet was required to send a detailed factual report to his Super- visor describing the action as he ob- served it, with particular attention to the time and places, enemy craft ob- served, casualties, damage sustained, lifeboat voyages, rescue, and acts of bravery. He was also encouraged to voice his opinion of the effective- ness of standard and ad hoc operat- ing procedures. The surviving files, though disorganized and certainly incomplete, contain reports of at- tacks on 250 ships, including 220 losses by 450 cadets. All of which were recently declassified and re- leased to the public. Since somewhat more than 700 large American mer- chant vessels were destroyed during the war, many not under War Ship- ping Control, or lost with all hands, it may be presumed that these letters contained most of the stories of ca- det-midshipmen who lost their ships, and lived to tell about it. 14 Opening No story about Kings Pointers at war would be complete without mention that about the time they ceased to re- ceive DSMs, Cadet Corpsmen who died in service began to be honored in a different way. This was the assign- ment of their names to Liberty Ships, which by rule could only be name for deceased persons important in this country's history. Five cadet-midship- men and at least two graduates were so commemerated. The fabled Liberty Ships of World War II, are remembrances of an era that has passed. Today these memorial Lib- erty Ships have all gone to join the namesake Kings Pointers who gave their lives on other Liberty Ships. Like the Battle Standard, however, the ship registers of the forties and fifties still bear silent witness that they served and died. In the history of human institutions, changes of direction have a way of coming about very quietly, almost sur- eptitiously. It is doubtful whether any cadet-midshipmen at Kings Point, or for that matter, any officer noticed any differences between the Academy of October 1 and the Academy of Sep- tember 29, 1943. Nothing had really changed by the official announcements of the Dedication on the 30th. Yet, a virtual 180° course change was taking place. All effort had gone into making Kings Point a sea college to create what the Academy has become today. Em- ' phasis was placed exclusively on devis- ing and perfecting a stripped-down, high speed instructional machine. The Sea Project, which was intro- duced in late 1942, was a self study course, deck or engine as appropiate, which supplanted the correspondence courses of prior years. It replaced the theoretical approach and treated the ship to which the student was assigned like a laboratory in which he could truely learn by doing. Clockwise from left: Cadet Edwin J. O'Hara.

The original four year curriculum has changed from three years at sea to one year at sea. After spending one year learning the basic fundamentals. Third Class year came around. All Third Classmen were sent out to sea, some aboard the multitude of commercial merchant vessels, a few onboard Academy training vessels. Vessels like the TV Kings Pointer or the TV Verna hold many memories for graduates who sailed upon them. During their shortlived service as fully operated training vessels, they called on such exotic ports as Halifax, Rio de Janerio, and many more. In April and August 1942, the other points officially opened. Pass Christian in Mississippi and San Mateo in Cali- fornia were the offspring of the Gulf and Pacific Coast Re- ceiving Stations. When they finally opened in 1942, they were designed to give basic training to incoming plebes. Both facilities flourished and peaked in the Fall of 1944, when the Cadet corps numbered 4000. Each was its own entity, San Mateo was declared an outstanding example of recent American architecture by the Museum of Modern Art. It lay in the shadow of Hollywood and prominent actors and radio personalities frequently visited and performed. Pass Christian Cadets contented themselves to entertain young ladies from a nearby college. At the end of the war the need to maintain two Cadet Basic Schools on either coast began to wane. The budgetary sword of Damocles hung over the heads of the Cadet Schools. San Mateo saw its end at the close of Fiscal year 1947. Its end came very quietly, neither San Mateo's Bear- ings or Kings Point's Polaris took advanced notice of it. Polaris' September issue reported the arrival of 122 fourth classmen transferred from San Mateo. The Coyote Point base reverted to the original donors and today is known as Coyote Point Park. The only remaining evidence of the school is a monument erected by Kings point's San Francisco Alumni Chapter. Pass Christian survived. But its survival only turned out to be a stay of sentence. As its Battalion was preparing for a half-holiday September 18, 1947, to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the Dedication Day, it was warned of the approach of a hurricane. The celebration was cancelled and all possible efforts were taken to secure the school. A tidal wave swept over Hendersons Point making it a total con- structive loss. After spending a wretched night among the soaking debris, five army trucks rolled into the Point, loaded the refugees and a few salvaged possesions, and started them on their way to Kings Point. On September 2, 1948, a cadre of sixty-six Kings Point Cadet-Midshipmen arrived at Pass Christian to start clearing the wreckage. By November of that year the school was able to re-open, on what many felt was borrowed time. Time came to an end on March 1, 1950. On March 21 the school would detach its last class of gradu- ates at sea, the remaining plebes would travel to Kings Point. This time there would be no return. Third Class year came to an end in 1954 when the split Sea Year was introduced. Now, half of the second and third class went out to sea for the first half of the year. When they returned to the Academy for further training the remainder of their class ventured out to sea. Today, the United States Merchant Marine Academy is the only four year accredited college which includes in its curriculum the Sea Year Program. As part of the professional training, each midshipman participates in a coopera- tive educational program consisting of two quarters of the sophomore year and two quarters of the junior year at sea aboard commercially operated merchant ships. Every effort is made to assign midshipmen to different vessels during their two periods of training. They thereby become familiar with the performance and operating character- istics of various classes of ships and with rN mold the midshipman's professional and personal character in a real life en- vironment not generally available to the average college student. Opening 17 the diverse operating requirements of different trade routes while at the same time gaining valuable practical experi- ence in the performance of shipboard duties. This type of training exposes the midshipman to the skills, knowledge, and professional attitudes required of a licensed ships officer. It allows the mid- shipman to study the important differ- ence between classroom study and practical ships operations. The mid- shipman is exposed to the demands and benefits of a maritime career first hand and can thus judge if, in fact, it is a suitable career choice. It is also helps to All of us were drawn here by the lure of the sea. Her calling brought us together way back on that hot July day. We grew into a unique class, one that definitely had its own way of doing things, and its own personality. Sea Year, everyone remembers the excite- ment of going to sea. First there was the trouble of catching the ATR in his office to convince him that it was absolutely neces- sary to have three weeks off to recover from school. Finals week rolled around, and Sea Year got closer, between staying up all night studying for finals and packing there was still that check out sheet that you had to trudge all over campus to get signed. After reaching home and relaxing for two or three days, your ATR calls to say that he has a much better ship for you to catch, and its leaving tomorrow. Finally came the proud feeling of seeing your ship as your parents drove through the gates of the dock and marveled in awe at the size of the ship. Then came those first twinges of doubt, when you asked yourself “What am I doing here? Nervousness continued to build as you looked up the gang way that seemed to go up forever. At the top of the gang way there was an old salt who looked about as rough as they come, and smiled warmly as you told him that you were the Cadet and had no idea where to go or what to do. Looking down a pang of loneliness arose as your parents waved from the dock. As you continued to climb the ladder to the fourth deck, the feel- ing of being totally lost crept up on you. Reaching the top of the ladder, you enter the hall way relieved that you have finally arrived at your destination. Peering down the hallway you see some- one with four stripes on his shoulders, a gruff old man who asks you who you are and what you were doing. With your hands sweating and voice squeaking you introduce yourself as the Cadet. The scowling old man tells you that he is the Captain, and asks if this is your first ship. You mumble yes, continuing to ask yourself why you are here, then are taken by surprise as the Captain's weatherworn face breaks into a smile, extends his hand, and welcomes you aboard. In the room next to yours, your sailing partner is busily digging for his khakis to wear to work, the entire contents of his sea bag spilled all over the room. A sense of relief sets in with the sight of a familiar face. When he finally looks up and sees you, he asks if you have signed on yet, then tells you who to see. The door to your room is open, and the room is made up, you are amazed at the size of the room. After signing on, you return and start unpacking to find your kha- kis. The ship is leaving in a few minutes, and you want to watch as it does. 18 18 Opening Opening 19 Facing page from top to bottom: Looking up at the Presi- dent Grant.

Both of you stand on the flying bridge watching the world go by. You think to yourself, this isn't going to be so bad after all. Once you were at sea, the days flew by, the working became a routine thing. We manuvered in and out of port, took stars, repack- ed valves, corrected charts, tested boiler water, stood cargo watch, worked on the boilers, and more. We attempted to learn everything we could about the puzzle they call a ship. Nights were spent trying to plow through what seemed like a never ending stream of ques- tions known as a Sea Project. Every question was a new exercise in research, trying to remember if you saw that answer on page 75 of Bowditch or 999 of Osborne.

There iwas always that one extra hour we Iwished we had as the ship left port. All of us have sea stories about this time in iRotterdam, that time in Santos, or the lother time in Kaoshiung. We envied sour classmates that were climbing through the ruins of Greece while they envied us for exploring the exotic of- ferings of the Far East. All of us learned during Sea Year, about the Merchant Marine and all it had to offer, but the most important lesson we learned, was about ourselves. Each of us grew up a little and found out what we were all about. For the Class of 1986, Sea Year has become a collection of photographs, letters home, and stories. A part of Academy history, a part of the four years we spent here, a part of our memories that we shall never forget.

Each of you has completed four demanding years of training at Kings Point and at sea. In addition to acquiring the knowledge and skills required to serve as officers in the American Merchant Marine, you have been imbued with important qualities of leadership. Seapower is essential for our nation's security and economic well-being. We are engaged in a vital program to restore the United States as the world's preeminent naval power. As part of this effort, we seek to restructure an- tiquated Federal maritime policies and to elevate America's Merchant Marine to a position reflecting our nation's leadership in world trade. In recent years, the efficiency and competitiveness of our merchant fleet have been substantially improved by the addition of new, high-productivity vessels. This upgrading of the fleet must continue, along with the Administration's work to revitalize all segments of the industry and to address the challenges of tomorrow. During World War II, and in the Korean and Vietnamese conflicts, our forces depended on the U.S. Merchant Marine for logistical support. Maintaining and enhancing this key component of our national strength is critical to our security. , il | | I You, the future leaders of our maritime industry, can contribute significantly to the resurgence of the American Merchant Marine. It is both in the national interest and your own that you succeed in that mission. Nancy and I wish you all the best in your undertakings. God bless you. 52 Faculty And Administration ★ The Vice President Washington To The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Class of 1986: s'srX- I am honored to send my warm greetings and congratulations to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and to the Class of 1986. This occasion gives me the opportunity to express my continuing high regard for the work of the U.S. Merchant Marine. You are about to embark on a career vital to the security and well-being of this country. Without the ef- forts and dedication of those who have preceded you, this country would not enjoy the benefits of a strong merchant marine. Good luck to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and to the Class of 1986. Sincerely Faculty And Administration 53 Secretary Of Transportation U.S. Department of Transportation To the 1986 graduating class of the United States Merchant Marine Academy: I salute the members of the class of 1986 and you can take pride on meeting the exacting standards of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. You are following proudly in the footsteps of the battalions of men and women who proceded you at Kings Point in choosing a maritime career. Ocean commerce has always played a vital role in our country's history — and economic development — and the Yankee Trader and the Yankee Clipper have become part of our folklore. The sea is a demanding taskmaster, but in your tenure at the Academy you have acquired the professional skills to meet the challenges it will offer. The sea is tradition too, a never changing tradition of duty, integrity, faith in one's self, and comradeship. Your training at the Academy will reinforce your professional skills in keeping with those traditions. You are the future Captains of our Merchant Fleet, and I say to you, Well Done, as you embark upon your new course in life. Sincerely, 54 Faculty And Administration Maritime Administrator U.S. Department of Transportation To the members of the Class of 1986 U.S. Merchant Marine Academy: This is my first opportunity as Maritime Administrator to send a message to a graduating class of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. It is a unique honor and distinct privilege to congratulate you, as members of the Class of 1986. You now stand ready to fulfill the true challenge of Acta Non Verba — to live by deeds, not words — which has been your motto for four years. I am confident that it will be your credo and guiding star in all of your professional pursuits in the years and decades ahead. You are launching your careers at a time of great challenge — a time when the U.S. and world maritime communities continue to be buffeted by severe and unstable market forces. I would remind this generation of Kings Pointers that your predecessors during the dark days of World War II faced far greater challenges and met them with great valor, dedication and sacrifice. They established the values and traditions which distinguish the United States Merchant Marine Academy and have been reinforced and passed on by those who followed. Today, the challenges confronting our maritime community are formidable, but within our capabilities to surmount. You young men and women, the maritime leaders of tomorrow, can contribute to the efforts underway to restore the American merchant marine to a pre-eminent position on the world's trade routes. I wish you success and satisfaction in all your endeavors. Faculty And Administration 55 I Superintendent U.S. Merchant Marine Academy To The Class of 1986: Four years ago you set out on a course that will have a profound effect on the rest of your lives. By entering the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy then, and through your graduation from this institution now, you have proven your committment to serve America in one of its most essential and historic professions. You have followed the call of the sea. In this year when we celebrate the centennial of the Statue of Liberty, the great Lady of the Harbor, we are reminded that the energy and vitality that forged our nations to greatness came from the many thousands of people who arrive at our shores on merchant ships crewed by dedicated seafarers. These immigrants faced hardship and challenge in their new land, just as the members of the Class of 1986 confront at graduation a maritime industry that is, for the moment, hard pressed. They endured, acheived, and succeeded. Your abilities and training as Kings Pointers will fare you well in overcoming the difficulties ahead as you participate in the revitalization of an effective and proper U.S. merchant marine. I can think of no better group of young men and women to whom we can entrust this task. Good luck! 56 Faculty And Administration Deputy Superintendent Rear Admiral Paul Krinsky I Assistant tVf £ Superintendent For luno?

Hershey, Capt. Katz, Division Head, Maritime Business Administration Division Of Nautical Science 60 Faculty And Administration Department of Marine Transportation The Department of Marine Transportation offers the midshipman the opportunity to specialize by taking electives offered by either of two divisions. A special- ization in the Division of Nautical Science can provide indepth knowledge of the technical aspects of ship operation. Midshipmen can develop a basic foundation in marine electronics, domestic shipping, advanced tanker operations, offshore vessel recovery, and small vessel operations by utilizing the electives available in the Nautical Science Division. Completion of the core curriculum in Marine Trans- portation and concentrations in management in the Division of Maritime Business and Administration can provide students with a foundation in maritime law, statistical methods, environmental law and regulation, personnel management, industrial psychology, and in- ternational trade. Midshipmen are encouraged by faculty advisors to select from the inventory of courses in the Department of Engineering and Department of Math and Science that are best suited to their career objectives. Courses in the areas of engineering economics, small engine maintenance and repair, operations research, probabil- ity, statistics, and chemistry of hazardous cargos are among those offered which are recommended.

Christensen, Capt. E. Wiggins, Engineering Department Head, Capt. Ferenczy, Lt. Malinoski Department of Engineering The Marine Engineering program has two objectives: to prepare graduates to sail as Third Assistant Engineers and to give graduates a sound engineering education. It accomplishes these objectives through a mix of practi- cal courses such as welding and machine shop and theoretical courses such as strength of materials and fluid mechanics. During the plebe year, the students who choose the engineering curriculum are exposed to the basic essen- tials of marine engineering. The academic portion of the second and third class years presents the students with their first professional engineering courses. Both sailing periods are also utilized to supplement class- room instruction through the on-the-job experience the midshipman gains. First class year is used to com- bine the practical and theoretical experience gained through the underclass years in the marine engineering and diesel courses. The Department of Engineering also offers the Ma- rine Engineering Systems program, which includes all of the features of the Marine Engineering program, and adds emphasis on the math and engineering design. By virtue of these additions, it is accredited by the Accred- itation Board of Engineering and Technology. Elective concentrations are offered in analysis and design, com- puter engineering, electrical engineering, engineering economics, fluid thermal power systems, naval archi- tecture, or nuclear engineering.

Basic courses in the physical sciences such as college Physics and Chemistry, college level courses in Calculus and Differential Equations are at the head of the depart- ments offerings. In order to introduce students to ad- vanced areas of science and serve some of their special needs, there are a wide range of electives available. Offerings in Atomic and Nuclear Physics, Hazardous Materials, Ocean Chemistry, Solar Energy, Probability and Statistics, Operations Research, and Astrophysics are some of the electives that have attracted many students. 64 Faculty And Administration Front (left to right): Lcdr.

Gardella (rear) r Department Of Humanities The Department of Humanities is charged with the broader aspect of a midshipman's training. This depart- ment likes to regard itself as the baccalaureate depart- ment of the Academy. It offers the kinds of liberal arts courses which prepare the midshipman to be a whole man. It teaches no professional courses required for li- censing, but rather those which are required to award an academic degree. Fourth class year consists of three quarters of old-fash- ioned English, literature, art, and composition, with con- siderable emphasis on the latter in the remainder of the program to insure the development of basic skills in writ- ten English. This emphasis is vital to the overall develop- ment of a graduate who is able to write technical reports or written logs. During second and third class years, the department's program consists of three quarters of modern, European, and American history. This provides a fundamental appre- ciation of humanism and human condition via classical and western literary traditions, area studies of western and developing people, political science, a survey of current world problems, and the application of historical solutions. The first class program permits the student to choose between a series of courses in Humanities, Comparative Culture, or spoken French or Spanish. Humanities ex- plores in greater depth, the development of the Western intellectual tradition in the area of literature, religion, science, and art. The Comparative Culture track utilizes an anthropological approach in an effort to provide in- sight into the important developing societies of the Third World. The program of the Department of Humanities is de- signed to balance the technical and professional emphasis in the rest of the curriculum. As graduates move on to position of increasing responsibility in their professional careers, they discover that it is the world of people and ideas rather than techniques and things upon which con- tinuing success depends. Humanities courses, both re- quired and electives, seek to open windows on the world and to provide a basis for continuing personal growth and professional success.

Wampler Department Of Naval Science Although the Merchant Marine Academy does not graduate a large percentage of active duty officers, the Department of Naval Science serves an important func- tion. As one of the largest ROTC units in the US, naval science courses instruct midshipmen in naval procedure. Upon graduation, midshipmen are required to apply for and if accepted, take a commission as an officer in the Naval Merchant Marine Reserve. The Navy needs Merchant Marine Officers who are well trained in naval procedures and operations. These officers, in time of national crisis, will be utilized to pro- vide support to the armed forces. Hence the capability of the Merchant Marine to rapidly deploy is paramount to our country's national defense and well being. Through a comprehensive offering of naval courses, the department instructs midshipmen in a variety of areas: sea power, naval organization, naval weapon systems, naval commu- nications, naval control of shipping, the role of the Mili- tary Sealift Command, convoy concepts, naval operations, and tactics are a few of the topics covered. Material pre- sented in these courses coupled with the midshipman's other subjects sufficiently prepares them to fulfil their duties and responsibilities as Naval Officers. The Naval Science staff also avails its time and expertise to those midshipmen that seek careers as commissioned officers on active duty in any of the armed forces. In recent years, the Academy has placed dozens of graduates into active duty fields as diverse as nuclear power, avia- tion, submarine duty, and surface warfare. As of gradua- tion day, the Class of 1986 placed 37 graduates directly into active duty. 66 Faculty And Administration Left to right: Capt. Heroy, Lcdr. Keefe, Capt. Hannigan, Capt. Finley. Department Of Shipboard Training The Merchant Marine Academy evolved as a result of the need to provide a structured educational program both ashore and at sea for future Merchant Marine Offi- cers. As part of the total professional educational training, each midshipman still participates in a cooperative educa- tion educational program, consisting of one semester during the sophomore and one semester during the ju- nior year at sea. Past practice of assigning midshipmen to commercially operated merchant vessels continues into today. Every effort is made to assign sea going midship- men to several different vessels. They hereby become familiar with the performance and operating characteris- tics of various classes of ships with the diverse operating requirements of different trade routes while at the same time gaining experience in the performance of shipboard duties. Vessels provide all midshipmen the opportunity to use them as sea going laboratories during the Shipboard Training Program. In addition to performing shipboard duties, midshipmen are given a study guide called a Sea Project. These written assignments are submitted to re- spective departments for evaluation and grading by facul- ty members. Assignments are carefully designed to ensure that, while aboard ship, midshipmen apply the knowledge and skills learned at the Academy classrooms and acquire a firm foundation for advanced study upon return to the Academy. Faculty And Administration 67 O' ' 4 From left to right: Lcdr. Brown, Lt. Petersen, Cdr. Paterno, Capt. Buckley, Mrs. Grasberger Department Of Physical Education In discharging its mission to prepare outstanding youth for careers in the maritime industry, the United States Merchant Marine Academy is concerned with imparting the high qualities of body and spirit, as well as training of the mind. Accordingly, while laying stress on a sound academic background and a thorough knowledge of nautical and military fundamentals. It is of equal concern that midship- men will also develop a high sense of honor, unrightness, loyalty, and pride in their profession. The Physical Educa- tion and Athletics program is designed to make a major contribution in imparting this attitude. By combining a monitored physical fitness program with a broad recreational program. Courses in self de- fense, swimming, life saving, volleyball, and tennis expose students to a wide range of competition and recreational sports. The aim of the department is to produce young men and women well equipped with a knowledge of physical fitness and a positive attitude. 68 Faculty And Administration Medical Dental Staff FRONT - LEFT TO RIGHT Robert leva, Robin Deissler, Regina Ebner BACK - Ann Ciampol- lilo, Irene Krysko, Warren Strauss, Amanda Fix, Dr. D.

By 1200 that afternoon, we were out on Barney Square, marching into Delano Hall. This is the pace Kings Point maintains. For two weeks prior to the beginning of classes, Indoc. is an intensive regimental training program designed to teach midshipmen how to value and budget their time. In short, exhausting. Lined up against the wall of First Company on the first night of Indoctrination, our Company Executive Officer told us to look at the person on our right and on our left One of these two guys won't make it to gradua- tion, he said. He was right. It's not fun, folks. idshipman Life 1 Motivation What have I gotten myself into Benham Night Beehjays wm It's a country club, Mom ■■■■■■■■■ Midshipman Life 10 i Plebedom This brief trip through our four years at Kings Point must begin with a description of Plebe Year, for this is by far the most trying year. Following the two week in- doctrination, the regiment returns to the Academy to begin classes. Approximately one-half of these midshipmen have spent the last six months out at sea. The other half of the corps have been enjoying sum- mer leave. The plebes first encounter the upper class as they return to the Academy and adjust back into regimental life. Of course, there are some of us who never adjust! Plebe Year is a unique and humbling experience. Looking back, as a First Class- man, it te easy to say that it builds charac- ter. As a plebe, it builds frustration. Let's recall a typical Friday of Plebedom: Rev- eille at 0610 with mandatory breakfast at 0640. From 0700 to 0740, the Plebes must clean their rooms for daily inspection. In addition, each Plebe is responsible for cleaning stations, such as the heads, show- ers, and decks. A dirty job, but someone's got to do it. 0800 brings colors formation, standing at attention for yet another ac- countability check. Then it's off to class. Plebes do not travel about the Academy in a collegiate fashion. In fact, they are required to march in section from class to class. When alone, they must run along the paths 6 inches from the curb. Indoors, the Plebes walk 6 inches from the star- board bulkhead (right-hand wall), squar- ing all the corners. This makes for a long trip to the Post Office. Classes are sched- uled from 0810 to 1200, and from 1200 to 1700 (5pm). The academic curriculum for this year is tough, averaging 19 credit hours per quarter. Lunch is at 1220 for the regiment, but meals are a break for every- one. Each week, mess duty, which en- tails setting the tables, serving the meal, and cleaning up afterwards. This obliga- tion gets old real quick. I remember those Friday nights of Plebe Year, when the Plebes of the seven com- panies are organized for Field Days. Field days are general janitorial events, for each company is cleaned top to bottom. . . . How often my mind wandered thinking about my friends at regular colleges as I scrubbed a shower floor. On the top of these responsibilities, the entire Class is required to pass a series of Plebe Knowledge tests. These tests are a mixture of useless tidbits, interesting nautical definitions, and gee whiz facts. Acceptance Day, in early September, is a glorified ceremony where the Plebe Candidates become full-fledged Plebes and are sworn into the Naval Re- serve. At this point, they receive liberty on Sundays from 0800 to 2000 and are allowed to talk in the mess hall. Nothing else really changes. 108 Midshipman Life Are those your everyday shoes? i Sharona assults classmate with a toilet brush Laura and Karen play dress up in Marine Safety 110 Midshipman Life All dressed up and nowhere to go I wish I was on that plane! Midshipman Life 111 As Plebe Year Comes To An End Afternoon cals on Barney Square Recognition is the day to work for. Aside from the Plebe Knowledge Tests, the Plebes must perform well in areas of personal appearance, marching, Plebe du- ties, class unity and spirit in order to de- serve recognition. Most often this does not occur until late in the third quarter. Recognition promotes the Plebes to fourth classmen. Now we see some real priveleges: no longer walking six inches from the wall, no marching to class or running outdoors, and no fraternization regulations. The rest of the Plebe Year is all down- ■bJk' 112 Midshipman Life hill. The B-Splits finish up fourth quarter and prepare for Sea Year, while the A-Splits make plans for a brief summer leave. Plebe Year offers midshipmen the greatest number of obligations and the fewest proveleges, and the consolation that it does get better. I We Are Highly Trained And Experienced Professionals . . . i Professional janitoral engineers Professional waiters The Middle Years The Third and Second Class years are transient times for midshipmen—tossed from the Point to the sea and back again. There are fewer regimental duties and more liberty. The academics for Deckies lightens up as they finish the required technical course work. The Engineers, studying dynamics, material science, thermo, fluids, circuits and the like, real- ize the significance of WHO teaches a course rather than what is taught. This is when the familiar don't you wish you went Deck? line can be heard echoing through the barracks as the Engineers watch the Deckies head for the Gate.

Because the Sea Year Training system requires that each class be divided in two, we do not see half of our classmates for 2 years. A First Class bash was held on Saturday July 27th in Land Hall, to help break the ice, but it was the parties in the park that made the summer memorable. Ex- citement abounds during July and August as old friendships are rekindled and new ones are discovered. CiL.

Without a doubt, the Class of 1986 was instru- mental in these victories by leading the spectator cheer- ing.

These tests, known as qualifi- ers , determine which Deckies will be eligable to sit for their Coast Guard License Exam in April. For the engineers, Third Quarter Blues mean that none of our Deckie friends can go out and party during our easiest academic quarter. But third quarter ends up right - with a nice long Spring Break.

A 134 Midshipman Life Upon returning from Spring Break, the Class of 1986 has one week to make final preparation for the dreaded License Exam. A week's worth of tests is enough to make even Kings Pointers study. The sweetest sound of Spring is the sound of the Bell ringing bright and clear for each new 3rd Mate and 3rd Assistant Engineer. Now Senioritis sets in, and the First Class major objective is to enjoy the few remaining weeks with close friends. It is a strange and wonderful feeling to be at the end of four years at Kings Point. Wanting so much to leave the Academy and begin life as an independent individual, while anticipating such a life without the friends we've made here seems quite impossible. For three years at the Academy, we looked forward to being First Classmen. For three long years we saw the priveleged few, those who had played the game and made it to First Class Year, live the easy life relatively undisturbed by Company Officers and free from the wrath of any of their classmates. Unfortunately, a look back at the Class of 86's final year is disappointing. Not only was every trace of trust and respect between Midshipmen and Staff severed, but we saw record breaking restriction lists, week after week. CDR Lyons, CDR Holt, CDR Cox, we miss you. As one of the nation's foremost edu- cational institutions, one may believe that students don't have the time for extra-curricular activities or to enjoy life. They are sadly mistaken. With over forty recognized clubs and activities, not to mention the multitude of other clubs and associations formed on campus, one could spend the whole time at Kings Point participating in ex- tra curricular activities. There is some- thing for everyone from scuba and windsurfing to chess and journalism. All midshipmen are encouraged to par- ticipate in at least one extra curricular activity. They provide students with the opportunity to explore new ideas and experience new things. Participation in them serves to enhance life at the Academy by giving midshipmen an outlet for their individual needs, and the production of a whole man. The following is a list of a few of the activi- ties available to midshipmen: Active Duty ........................................ 148 Ambulance Squad .................................... 144 Automotive Interest Club ........................... 147 Band ............................................... 167 Chapel Choir ....................................... 152 Christian Fellowship Club .......................... 140 Color Guard ........................................ 142 Computer Club ...................................... 141 Drill Team ......................................... 166 Honor Guard ........................................ 145 Karate Club ........................................ 150 Marlinspike ........................................ 153 Midships Photography ............................... 154 Neuman Club ........................................ 151 Propeller Club ..................................... 165 Pub Club ........................................... 157 Regimental Broadcast Unit (RBU) .................... 160 Salute Cannon Squad ................................ 164 Social Committee ................................... 162 SNAME .............................................. 163 Sportsmans Club .................................... 156 Spring Break ....................................... 158 Weightlifting ...................................... 151 Clubs and Activities 139 if C.F.C.

Members of the squad also take Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) courses so that they are capable of performing various emergency procedures at the scene of an accident. When an accident occurs, contacting Patten Hospital at extension 332 results in the beeping of the on-duty squa members. They, in turn, call the dui nurse to find out what the problem '■ and what action is necessary; whe necessary, they drive the ambulance! the scene of the accident. The squa also provides recuperation facilities tc plebes during Indoc and midships on the parade field. 144 Clubs And Activities Honor Guard Watching over VIP hats Guarding the Admirals box � Boy Scouts on tour Honor Guard members often find .. hemselves face to face with some im- r ,ortant people, such as General P.X. .elley, Commandant of the Marine -orps, RADM Seiberlich, USN (Ret), or :r '' ie Honorable John Gaughan. The c : jnction of the Honor Guard is to pro- ,c e security and support services at -r . w 1 CP’ public functions which the Academy holds. During formal reviews, they guard the Admiral's box, direct traffic, or any one of the numerous tasks which make reviews run smoothly. It is the job of the Honor Guard to give a good impression for the Academy, for it is Honor Guard members who are typically seen first. Other collateral du- ties include giving tours to prospective candidates, outside groups, or visiting dignitaries. At times their services are also required as escorts at Miss Polonia contests or as sword bearers at weddings.

Even though only a handful of divers participated in the open water dives, two more classes of basic diving skills were held. Midshipman John McGillis headed diving excursions to such location Dutch Springs, various sites in New Jer- sey, and Long Island. Among the hare core regulars were Bob Barber and Cal Haden. Armed with a recently rebuilj compressor, next season's T rident divers will be able to assault the under- water world. d. 14 Or !

Clubs And Activities 147 Active Duty 148 Clubs And Activities This year, active duty candidates were offered much more of a chance to explore possible career choices. In an effort to give midshipmen contem- plating active service the chance to see what they were getting into, a number of field trips were planned for this year. As in past years, four aviation field trips were executed; two during the Spring and two during the Fall. The trip to Pensacola, Florida to the Aviation In- doctrination Command offered mid- shipmen a first hand opportunity to see and experience the life of an aviation candidate. Down in Corpus Christi, Texas, at an Aviation Basic Command, the opportunity to fly in T-44 twin en- gine prop planes, and TA-4 jets wereir the spotlight. Other forays were planned for first classmen to NAS Wil- low Grove and to Grummar Aerospace. For the first time, Surface Warfare candidates were taken for a visit to Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia. Norfolk the headquarters of the Atlantic Flee' provided SWO candidates with an am- ple opportunity to see an DESRO flagship, the USS Coyningham (DDC- 17) complete with lunch on the mess deck. Time also allowed for a tour of r AOR, the USS Savannah, an oiler anc SWO swim party USS Coontz entering Norfolk Engine Room tour Deckie equipment Surface Warfare trip to Norfolk on board USS Coyningham immuntion supply ship given by LTjg '-Grimaldi '83.

A yearbook is a collec- tion of memories and ideas which are preserved through time. Although we may not read the entire contents of the book until years have past graduation, it's always nice to know that the memo- ries are still there. Faces, events, places, good times, and bad, are all in here. The 1986 Midships staff was small in comparison to years past, but what they lacked in size, they made up for in dedication. We have attempted to bring togeth- er as much of the four years we spent at Kings Point as we possibly could. Every section editor usually without the help of anyone else collected, sorted, anc collated what they thought best ap plied to their section. Out of the more than 3000 photographs taken, not to mention the hundreds more submittec for Sea Year, and pages of copy and information, we have brought to you, what we think is the best of 85-86.

The photography association is closely associated with the Midships staff to produce the high- ' est quality yearbook possible. Photog- raphers utilize all makes of cameras and hlms, all of which can be developed in the darkroom. The darkroom is V opened to all midshipmen who wish to use it, provided they are current mem- f L U V ' bers of the MPA. Over the 1985 - 1986 school year, MPA members took over 3000 photos for the 1986 Midships. Only about twenty five percent of these end up in the yearbook. The remaining photos are edited out and put into storage. Members also got the opportunity to hear guest lectures on photography techniques, and take several photo sa- faris to NYC and eastern LI.

The club activities vary with the interest of the club members. Past ac- tivities have included a canoe trip, camping, mountain retreats, rapelling, hunting, and fishing expeditions to up- state New York and Pennsylvania. This is not to say that club members are not willing to try different things, they have indeed done a number of wild things throughout the year, like jumping out of perfectly safe airplanes.

Persons wishing to Decome a member put in an applica- :: ion and go to an interview. With the ' lew drinking age taking effect on De- :ember 1,1985, Pub policies took some adical changes. For midshipmen, it neant that only first classmen 21 years nd older, who were unrestricted were Nowed in the Pub on Friday nights, riday became the only night on which •eer and wine was served. Pub facilities were still open on Saturday and Sunday nights to all classes, but the lack of pa- trons resulted in lower operational revenues. A number of changes have been sug- gested, these changes would basically turn the Pub into an restaurant night club operation, requiring a lot more time and dedication from its members. Some of these alternatives have been well received at other area colleges, but have not gone beyond the sugges- tion stage at the Academy.

Class of 1986 -splits never got the opportunity to experience Spring Break during plebe 'ear, but more than made up for it dur- ng first class year. Midshipmen went to nil corners of the world for Spring treak. Several people went to the warm •caches on Nassau in the Bahamas, oth- ers enjoyed the splendors of Rio de Janerio in Brazil and the wonders of Mexico City. On the other side of the world, a few people flew to explore Europe by train, taking it through the tiny villages and historic places. A cou- ple of midshipmen took the long flights to Australia and Japan. At home in the United States, Kings Pointers found their place in the beaches of Ft Lauder- dale and Daytona Beach, Florida. Those preferring the cold climates took ad- vantage of the good skiing and rented a cabin in Vermont or Maine for the week. Spring Break has now become an in- stitution at Kings Point, and midship- men who have seen the world during a port call have begun to return to their favorite places to explore them more thoroughly. We have truely made the world our campus.

The basic goal of the national or- ganization is to promote a healthly U.S. Merchant Marine. The general Goal of the student chapter is to become in- volved with the maritime industry and let them know that students at Kings Point are concerned. During the course of the year, we have made several trips to Wash- ington, D.C. to do just that. Furthermore, members from the club are always present at the New York City Propeller Club meetings to give Kings Point some expo- sure there. 1 1 The Drill Team Drill Team Bottom left to right: Ho- gan, Loftis, Burns, Ginal- loni, Abbott.

Some were for the better, others were less appreciated. The band did several memorable performaces, not the least of which was the lead in the Miss America Parade and the opening of the National Horse Show. The band was also featured among over 1300 other musicians from many other bands in the gala grand opening of South Street Seaport in lower Manhatten 1 ■ A tfir ■ Gridders Start Strong 172 Sports The Class of 1986 finished their ca- reers with a glorious football season. The Mariners ended 8-3 and reached the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Confer- ence playoffs for the second straight year. Successful football has returned to Kings Point and it may stay there for some time. In chalking up the most victories since 1976, the Mariners achieved sev- eral team goals as well as some individ- ual exemplary performances: -The team won the Liberty Confer- ence championship in the first year of the league. The Mariners were a per- fect 5-0, defeating (in order) St. John's (35-14), L.I.U-C.W. Post College (31-14), Fordham (28-6), Pace (30-27) and Iona (54-10). -They captured the Secretary's Cup for the fourth consecutive year by crunching the U.S. Coast Guard Acade- my, 42-14, in New London, CT. It was 35-0 at halftime and 42-0 after three quarters. -For the second straight year, the of- fense set records. The 303 total points broke the mark of 273 set by the 1984 club. The 54 points against Iona was the highest total for a single game since the 1960 team scored 62 versus R.P.I. -The early-season success earned the Mariners a national ranking. The week- ly poll of The Football News ranked the Academy as high as number two up to mid-season. The N.C.A.A. poll, con- ducted by the Division III football play- off committee, ranked the Mariners among its Top 20, 17th in the latter weeks. -By defeating C.W. Post 31-14 on September 21st, the Mariners broke what is most likely the school's most frustating losing streak. Post won 14 straight between 1969 and 1982. The 1984 game ended in a 21-21 tie. (There was no game in 1983). The last Kings Point victory over Post came in 1968 — 16-7. On an individual front: Fullback Chris Fiore ('86) led the team in rushing and scoring plus tied for the receiving title-. He carried the ball 224 times for 824 yards and rushed for 15 touchdowns. He caught 22 passes for the 283 yards (12.9 average) and one touchdown. His totals of 16 touch- downs and 96 points are single season records. He finished his career with 2,549 yards, ranking him second on the all-time rushing list behind Dean Doe who gained 2,777 yards. His totals of 40 downs and 240 points gave him the ca- reer record in those categories. Quarterback Skip Azzarita ('88) broke the single-season record for touch- down passes. Azzarita completed 107 of 214 throws for 1,431 yards and 14 TDs. That broke Sam Oncea's standard of 12 set in 1981. Placekicker Todd Wendorf ('87) broke the single-season and career ex- tra point marks because of the offen- sive production. Wendorf kicked 34 of 37 PATs to break his mark of 32 set last yeat. He surpassed John Reshore (75) in the career category by boosting his total to 72. Reshore booted 60 from 1971 to 1974. Defensively, the sparkplug was once again, tackle Mike Woodrick ('86). The 5'9 , 200-pounder led the team in solo tackles (66) and total hits (98). He was also a pest in the opposing backfield, sacking 14 quarterbacks for a total of 116 yards in losses. Other defensive stalwarts among the Class of '86 were linebackers Dallas Kinley and Frank Necaise. Kinley fin- ished second in total tackles (93) and missed one game. (His replacement that day recorded 14 total tackles.) Ne- caise was fifth in stops, hitting 68 ballcarriers.

Despite a grueling schedule, avera- geng five matches per week, of which only eight were on the home planks, the Lady Mariners fought hard, clawed, scratched, crawled, and left skin burned on the gym floors of most local colleges and came up with a winning season. The team's goal for 1985 was to play hard, but most of all to have FUN. Dierdre Spielman was a crucial factor in the team's success. The third class- man seemed to make the offense go like a Kawasaki. The whole team pro- gressed to the point where they were running a more sophisticated offense than in the past, with options to set the ball to any of three front row hitters. Also on Deirdre's coaching staff were well-known volleyball greats Al (Roach) Rausch '86, Joe Moran '86, Bruce Rein '86, and plebe Steve Herman '89. The guys were a tremendous asset to the team. Another honor plebe on the team was Third Company's own Susan Nelson. Susan turned out to be a key offensive player, hitting hard, and gen- erally devastating other teams' de- fenses. She also keyed the offense as a setter, playing opposite Heidi Gann '86. Karen Joyce pooled their dual efforts as Co-Captains of the '85 squad. Their efforts were strongly reinforced by the amazing spikes and serves of First Class- man Kent Kukurugya. Beth Wilson '87 also played well, and when she was psyched, practically sing- lehandedly disrupted the opponents' defense. Nancy McDonald '88, when she got back into her volleyball mental- ity (after a three year sabbatical ), was a smashing success as a hitter and also gets a nomination for Best Actress this year. Did you see the faces she used to Coach Tom Harrigan gives the girls advice make?!?! 1985 was a fun season for the women, and despite their Coach, the team man- aged to keep from failing out. (No thanks to C.B. . . . and the rest of the engineering department!) The achieve- ments for the season included third place in the U.S.M.M.A. Invitational, third place in the Brooklyn College In- vitational, and a season record 23-12. The best match of the year was played against Southhampton, they jogged into the gym, performed a choreo- graphed aerobic warmup, and under the tutleage of five coaches began to practice game strategy. Meanwhile, on the other side of the net, Karen Joyce and Heidi Gann rallied the Mariners . . . all seven of them! The Southhampton coaches were snickering across the gym. Typical Mariners, the girls gave them a run for their money, winning 15-13 in the first game, losing the sec- ond game losing 17-15 in the second game, and fighting to the very last to lose in score 18-16, but they never lost heart. That was the essence of this year's team — HEART. Congratulations are in order for a great season. Joyce, Gann, and Nelson await the serve 180 Sports Dierdre Spielman ready for these Nancy McDonald up for the bump Donna Poucel blocks' Karen Joyce denies the spike Sports 181 Soccer Team Gets Late Start When he holds his first meeting of the season. Mariner soccer coach Dick Hogan tells the assembled hordes the same fact every year: there are two parts for the coming year. For many coaches around the coun- try, that could mean the regular season followed by participation in a post-sea- son playoff. But that's not the story at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. This school operates on a quarterly academic calendar. First quarter final examinations take place during the last week of September first week of October. Athletic teams nei- ther compete, nor practice during the week. I never worry about piling up wins in the first part of the year, Hogan remarks. After exams, everybody is more comfortable, from the plebes on up. Then we concentrate on playing soccer. Records seem to bear him out. In 1984, the Mariners entered the exam break with a 2-5-1 record. They had nine of 11 starters back from an 18-3-1 team (which was ranked 19th nationally in Division III), but didn't resemble a squad of veterans on the field. Follow- ing exams that year, the Kings Pointers posted victories in eight of the last ten games (five by shut out). The 10-7-1 record was good enough for a bid to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Confer- ence playoffs. Inthe E.C.A.C.'s, the Mariners defeated City College 3-1 and lost to William Paterson College on penalty kicks after tying 1-1 through two overtime periods. Parallels can be drawn to this (1985) season. The Mariners lost four and tied one of their first seven games. By exam time, the record was 4-4-1; thanks to a 4-3 OT win over City College and a 5-1 decision against SUNY Maritime. Fol- lowing a break for tests, the squad won six, tied two and lost just one — 3-2 to Coast Guard. The 9-5-3 mark earned another ticket to the E.C.A.C. playoffs. In the first round of the Metro New York- New Jersey playoffs, the Mari- ners tangled with Long Island rival Stony Brook. The regular season en- counter ended 1-1. The playoff game ended 0-0, forcing a penalty kick shootout. Penalty kicks have been an albatross around Hogan's neck for the last two seasons. In 1983, the Mariners finished 18-3-1. They hosted the overall E.C.A.C. Championships after winning the New York- New Jersey regional crown. In the opening round of the overall playoffs, Rochester took a pen- alty kick decision. Last year's E.C.A.C. NY-NJ final also came down to spot kicks with Patterson coming out ahead. Hogan refused to over-coach when the Stony Brook match went to penal- ties. I brought the team into the hud- dle and told them, 'I'm not going t0 choose which guys shoot. You know among yourselves who can make them and who can't, ' he said. They didn't disappoint me. Goalkeeper Gene Tyranski blocked the first Stony Brook shot. He then stepped up to the 11-meter mark and lined the ball past the Patriot goalie for a 1-0 lead. Stony Brook scored on its second attempt, but fullback Al Walsh put the Mariners ahead 2-1. Tyransk saved the fourth Stony Brook shot, it was all over. I've never seen a guy dominate so much, Hogan bragged of his keeper. Not only does he stop three shots, but he steps up and nails the first one for j us. Mariners didn't need Tyranski's pen- atly-shot heroics in the New York-New Jersey finale against Vassar College. But they did need two goals from midfield- er Brett Davis, the winner coming in the 73rd minute to break a 1-1 tie. 182 Sports Warming up Tom Wiesburg meets opposing goalie Goalkeeper Gene Tyranski . . .

This is true even though the Fall '85 season might not snow it. The team suffered a few losses which made it rather impossible to pro- duce a record that came close to last year's 23-5 record. The seaosn was played without any coaching support and early in the season two of the teams key players suffered injuries which put them out of commision for the remainder of the season. Even with such adversities, the team went on the pitch time and time again to play the sport they have grown to love. The senior scrummies, Rob Leneghan, Matt Eislie, Ed Schiefer, Matt Durkin, and Jack My- lott produced the ball which was then sent to scrum half Mark Craven to the Senior backs, Dan Severino, Buzz Boykin, Matt Jutte, Geoff Pletcher, Joe Davila, Ray Martus, and Jim Pap- pas. The seniors were supported by a few noteworth underclassmen, Steve Mosser, Nick Caruso, Steve Bossotti, Dan Dugan, Kevin Mul- holland, Tad Cole, and Mike Tomazic. Captained by Jeff King and Mark Craven, the KP Ruggers did have exceptional luck at the post game festivities. Injuries to Jeff King, Rob Lansden, and Rich Davidson did not keep the Ruggers from out-singing and out-drinking both opponents at home and on the road. Win or lose, the Rugby spirit is alive and Kings Point. We did not win many games, but we did our best to win the parties.

Led by Captains Greg Wilt and Matthew Vachon, the team rowed the Shipshields Re- gatta, the Head-of-the-Connecti- cut, Schuykill, and Charles Regat- tas, as well as the match against Coast Guard during the Transpor- tation Bowl.

( Inconsistency, muttered head coa- ch Tom Gleeson. one night, we'd look like we belonged on the court with anybody. The next night, we didn't be- long on the court, period. The deficiencies came at the defen- sive end of the floor. Opponents broke the 90 point barrier four times in Feb- ruary winning each time. The penuti- mate loss stung the most. The Mariners lost 106-101 to Manhatanville College. Did you ever think you'd see us score 100 points and lose? Gleeson asked. I 1 I did'nt. The team averaged 80.9 points per game this season. It was only the fourth time in school history that the Mariners scored at such a clip and the first time since the late 1960s. We were excit- ing, the coach said. Even when we I lost. The Mariners fell, 91-90, to New Jer- sey Tech in early December when they were unable to protect a lead. In Feb- ruary, Kings College of PA escaped with an 84-82 decision on a 22-foot jumper with one second remaining. Although the Mariners fell victim to last minutes rallies twice, they did pull one off to escape with the most signifi- cant win of the season. New York Uni- versity, the 16th-rated team in the na- tion built a 71-65 lead with 1:45 remaining when Terry Tarpey threw in an off-balance 24 footer as the shot clock ticked below five seconds. At that point, senior guard Larry Jor- dan (Sayville, NY) took over. After ju- nior Derrick Shirley (E. Greenwich, Rl) made a jumpshot and two freethrows to cut the lead to 71-69, Jordan drove for a layup following a steal by John Hillin to tie the score with 36 seconds left. On NYU's next possession. Mari- ner guard Mitch Gillam fouled Dennis Frlan and the Violet made the second of two free throws for a 72-71 lead with 19 sec,, left. Jordan brought the ball upcourt and with no one open, drew a foul against Frlan as he attempted a shot from the left wing. Jordan made both free throws to put the Mariners up, 73-72 Front row: L. Jordan, S. Farrell, J. White, M. Fenzel, J. Walsh. On ladders: D. Shirley, P. Thurlow, K. D'Arcy, M. Gillam, J. Leskinovitch, G. O'Brien, J. Doherty, C. Harris, J. Hillin, K. Ahearn. with five ticks left on the clock. He sealed the win in the final second by stealing the ball from Tarpey and driv- ing for a layup at the buzzer. For the third staright year, Jordan set an Academy record for assists in a sin- gle season. He had 121 as a sophomore, 185 as a Junior (in 29 games), and 189 in this season. He was second in scoring with 384 points (15.4 ppg). He finished his acreer with 1,132 points, and 565 assists which translates into 1.130 points. He is fifth on the all time scoring list. Scoring honors on the team went to Shirley, a 6-7 forward who spent his first two seasons prowling- the center position. Shirley scored at a 16.8 ppg clip and pulled down team-high 207 rebounds. He he blocked 71 shots in 26 games. Shirley was named to the all- tournament teams at USMMA Tip off and the Case Western Reserve Alumni Tournament. Freshmen played major roles during the year. Gillam emerged as the first guard off the bench and displayed a good shooting touch (.514 FGs, .741 FTs, 6.4 ppg) to go with his ballhandling. Kevin D'arcy developed into the necessary sparkplug off the bench. D'arcy who only started in four games (and one of those as a guard), averaged 14.4 ppg and 7.4 rpg. He was second in steals with 44 (behind Jordan't 67) and third in assists with 59 He seemed to be at his best in an open court game. Against Manhattanville, He came off the bench to score 33 points and pull- down 19 rebounds. His explanation? I was jumping against guys my size. Confined to a role of a small foward, D'arcy stands 6-2. Sports 193 194 Sports Right: Junior Derek Shirley under the boards Below: John Hillin on defense.

White was second in blocks to Shirley with 62. He had a career high 20 points and 13 rebounds in an 81-43 win over SUNY Purchase. He and Shir- ley were the only two players to start every game. Mark Fenzel started 23 of 26 games but was mired in a season-long shoot- ing slump. He scored 100 points and pulled down 79 rebounds. Shayne Shayne Farrell suffered knee ligament damage in mid-January and missed half the season. For two games, he was a color commentator on Cox Cable's broadcasts of King's and Salve Regina games. Bill Rich played only six games, but pulled down 20 rebounds and scored 12 points. Co-Captain Jim Walsh took on the added responsibility of coaching junior varsity team as preparation for his addition to the basketball staff next year. 196 Sports Men Win Meet Championship Again i ■«i n The Kings Point Men's Swim Team finished the 1985-86 season in the tra- ditional manner: by winning the New York Metropolitan Championship. Al- though the team lost several top swim- mers to graduation last year, a strong plebe contingent helped make up the difference. With only one loss in the league during the season, the team lost the dual meet championship title but due to great depth in almost all events, they came back to overpower all com- petition and took home the league championship title. Pete Webster, who had great influ- ence on the outcome of the season, was awarded the Joe Stetz Outstanding Senior Award at the competition. Al- though Pete is only a Second Classman, due to previous college level competi- tion, this was his last year of eligibility. The same was the case with top-ranked butterflyer Gerry Watts. The team will be at a loss next year from the disquali- fication of these two and the gradua- tion of a strong corps of seniors includ- ing freestylers Jeff Drake, Tim Smith, Scott Newell, Scott Santiago, and Jim Kennan. In the stroke events the team will be losing backstrokers Bill Erhard and Jim Whitehorn, butterflyers Jim Dillman and Andrew McCarthy, an IMer Tom Branin. Every year at mid-season, the team goes through a major transformation with second and third classmen going out to sea returning from sea. This is a situation no other team in the league must contend with, but luckily the KP swimmers have handled it well. For the second half of the season, sea year claimed nationally ranked freestyler Paul Coan, As well as Jon McGillis, and Jay ward. IMer Chris Kalafut and breast- stroker Chuck Rozhon also climbed out of the pool and headed to the ocean. Dave McKay who broke the school record in the 200 breaststoke this year also had a short season due to sea training. Although these losses were painfully felt, the return of some vital swimmers helped ease the burden on the rest of the team. Chris Phelan and Jim Aird (freestylers) along with Chris Parker (breaststroker) found themselves fighting to get back in shape quickly upon their return to the zoo. The team was also glad to see the return of Diver Kyle Romanat. The plebe butterflyers John Bates, Greg Horvath, and Anthony Clark all performed superiorly. Breaststrokers John Grant and Mike Tracy, back- strokers Paul Nichols and Ken South- ard, and freestyler Ruben Martin were all part of that strong plebe force in the pool. Bill Nixon and Roy Bleiberg rep- resented '89 on the diving board. Along with Kyle Romanat these divers scored a tremendous amount of points for the team throughout the season. Tri-captians Jeff Drake, Andrew Mc- Carthy, and Bill Erhard oversaw the managment of the team. The meets and T M's were run smoothly with the as- sistance of head manager-statistician Marcie Raffel (civilian), co-manager Jeff Giese, Mike Murphy, Rob Pento, and Andrew Heintz. The timing-system specialist Paul Zapatka was also a great help.

Returning this year sopho- more Macky Wong and junior Beth Edwards made remarkable progress, making the 100 yd. and 200 yd. breast- stroke events a strong point in the line- up. Junior Sue Leddy earned numerous points for the team in the middle dis- tance freestyle events, while junior Kathy Harkins, once again, came through for the team by swimming the most grueling of events, the 200 yd. butterfly. First classman Jean Sobralske, although a newcomer to the sport, put in remarkable performances in the dis- tance events. Sunny Rude, a veteran high school swimmer, put on her KP swim suit for the first time, surprising everyone with spectacular times in the freestyle sprints. __ Despite losing many key swimmers to the high seas, the women's swim team came back from Christmas break, add- ing to the roster Jennifer King ('87), Becky Stewart ('87), and Terri Haugen ('88). What these women lacked in ex- perience, they certainly made up for in spirit and determination. These quali- ties were particularly evident at the team's first Metropolitan Champion- ship, where the freestyle and medley relays, consisting of Jean Sobralske, Jeanne Downey, Becky Stewart, and First Classman Cathy O'Brien, earned All-Conference status. Co-Captain Jeanne Downey also made All-Confer- ence in the 200 yard backstroke. Co- Captain Carolyn Kurtz did not compete at the Met Championships due to an injury sustained at the St. Francis dual meet where she qualified for the NCAA Division III Nationals in diving, held in Canton, Ohio.

The fore- most reason for this was the acquisition of new head coach, Mike Cigala. Coach Cigala started practices early in the aca- demic year, and for the first time in many years, a team was produced. A TEAM in all aspects of the word. The actual team season started at the LaSalle tournament, in Philadephia, where Captains Jim Toy and Dan Dugan took firsts, Marc Craven placed second, Tony Hernandez and Matt Yacavone took thirds. Overall, the team finished in second place. The next major tournament entered was the Hunter Invitational. Once again in this tournament Dan Dugan took first place, and in addition, he received the tournament MVP. Jim Toy and Ed McDonald each took second while Bri- an Rhoades and Marc Craven placed fourth. Up until Christmas break, the Mari- ner wrestling team was a force to be reckoned with, holding a 4 and 1 dual meet record. Unfortunately, academic problems, regimental problems, inju- ries, and sea year departures took their toll on the team after Christmas. In fact, 8 out of the 10 starting Mariner wres- tlers, including powerhouse Junior Captain Dan Dugan, were no longer available to wrestle for the team. De- spite these devastating losses. Coach Mike Cigala and the remaining wres- tlers recruited other top notch wres- tlers from out of the KP woodwork. With a whole new line-up, the Mariner wrestling team faced the rest of the season and was able to comprise a win- ning record. The final team competition in which the team participated was the Metro- ■ politan Championships. Here, Jim Toy finished with a third place, Brian Rhoades, Ed McDonald and Phil Toma- zic all took fifth and the team won the B-division Metropolitan Championship title. The following week, Jim Toy and Bri- ■''■ an Rhoades attended the N.E. National Qualifiers. Brian Rhoades took fourth place while Jim Toy was knocked of competition by a knee injury. The returning captains for the 1986- 87 season will be Dan Dugan, Jerry Lango and Junior Captain Brian Rhoades. Although losing Jim Toy, Marc Craven and Ed McDonald, the team will still be young and strong.

The short A- Split portion of the season was a little sluggish, but had its bright moments with two victories over CW Post and one over Rutgers being noteworthy. Due to the split, the team lost a few players to sea and had to begin again. The B-Split ushered in a fresh new start for the team and saw the head of steam build that would bring them to the playoffs. Ft. Scupper was brought to its knees twice. StonyBrook was de- feated in the final seconds by a score of 6-5. On the road, the team took Pace 5- 3 and tied Southern Connecticut (pre- viously untouched). Here at deadline, the team is one the eve of playing Kean College in first round playoff action. Goalies Tim Olson and John Boren had fine seasons. The defensive duties were well shouldered by co-captains Rich Farrell and Mike Peddle along with Chris King and Doug Rongo. Se- nior fowards Greg Thorton, Dave Bus- chor and Fred Forthuber performed well all season. The Zamboni Broth- ers made important spot appearance throughout the year. Wingers Bob Plansker and Lynn Bell were excellent in their supporting roles on the first line while the leading man, George Boudreau ran away with All-Time Met- ropolitan Conference Scoring Title, tal- lying up 53 goals and 32 assists. Bou- dreau was also nominated for the league's Most Valuable Player Award. The club would like to extend its thanks to Mike Holmes and Murray two quick ones Firestone for all their help in coaching and getting things done behind the scenes. Congratula- tions to all the fans and supporters who had as much fun in the stand as the team did on the ice. During ceremonies prior to the game against SUNY Maritime at Parkwood Ice Pavillion, the number 19 was officially retired by the Kings Point Hockey Club in order to pay tribute to Mark Paradiso (Class of '83). Mark, who was a very active member of the Hockey Club during his stay at Kings Point, was trag- ically killed on an oil rig in January, 1985. The team jerseys also bear the 19 on the shoulder to further remem- ber this great friend of the USMMA athletic program.

The highlights of the season included the victory over Army and a stellar perfor- mance in the Queen's Open B tournament. The team was lead by Co-Captains Alan Rausch and Bruce Rein who were the team's main offensive weapons. Andy Lingaitis, Mark Richards, Steve Herman, and Jim Quigley made up the rest of the front line with good spiking and exceptional blocking. Fred Badua, John Biemer, and Carl Winter contrib- uted and helped the team achieve vic- tory in many matches.

First Place (team) for both Standard Pistol and Air Pistol in the ROTC division was taken at the 1986 NRA Intercollegiate Section- als held at USMA, West Point. At that competition, Barry Smith placed first in the ROTC division for Standard Pistol and David McKeen took first in the ROTC division for Air Pistol. Senior members Aileen Barton, David McKeen, and Barry Smith made a strong showing for their final year of shooting with individual placement in all of the matches. The team was rounded out by three newcomers: Jef- frey Helfrich ('86), Lynette Leher ('89) and Matthew Schott ('89) who all made commendable efforts. Front: L. Leher, M. Schott Back: J. Helfrich, A.

The exhaustive land workouts of the late winter al- lowed the oarsmen to make a good showing at the St. Valentine's Day Mas- sacre and gave them hope and deter- mination to come back hard for the spring season. As the ice cleared from around the docks, Kings Point Crew was there to begin the sometimes cold, dark, and frustrating water work for the season. As the temperature rose, the water calmed and the sun began to rise earli- er, the team slowly began to see the results of their long arduous workouts. The technique of each oarsman was re- fined through the help and coopera- tion of all the team members. The oars began to move faster at the controlled violence of each stroke, and everyone began to recognize their self-worth as a fine-tuned rowing machine. Through the generosity of the Mar- tin and Connors families the Florida trip was a great success. All team members dedicated themselves to hard work and exhaustive play, the combination of which could be unsurpassed for physi- cal suffering and ecstacy. For Spring Season the crews worked harder with each passing race and the efforts definitely were reflected in the outcome. An overall third place at the Met-champs capped the '86 season.

Sports 211 Lacrosse Gains Playoff Berth In their second varsity season the stickman posted a 9-7 record against their most competitive schedule to date. Highlights of the season included a 9-8 victory over Stony Brook Univer- sity, and a playoff berth in the E.C.A.C.'s. The Stony Brook victory was described by Coach Jacobs as, the best four quarters of lacrosse ever played by the Academy. Both the Stony Brook victory and the playoff berth were the first ones in the team's history. Standouts this season included the team's MVP's, Brian Bennett (Sr.-de- fense) and Kevin Fay (Jr.-defense) who provided consistent protection for freshmen goalie Andy McCauley. Their jobs became even tougher with the loss of Rich Farrell (Sr.-defense) who was sidelined mid-season with a separated shoulder. Andy became one of the few players to end the season nationally ranked in Division III. His efforts pro- vided welcomed relief after losing Mo Frakaloss who is expected to return next season. The Mariner's sported a balanced of- fense with attackmen Jim Worfolk (Jr.) and Steve Frazier (So.), and Phil Eman- uel (Fr.). Center midfielder John McClain and Steve Frazier provided an effective offensive punch that forced rival defenses to make adjustments. The balance of the scoring came from midfielders Jerry White (Sr.), Dave Ficken (So.), Matt Yacavone (Fr.), Vin Rodomista (Fr.), and John Gajan (Sr.). Although the team started slowly, 2 wins and 2 losses after 4 games, vic- tories became strung together after a five game tear that brought their re- cord to 7-2. Much of the team's success can be attributed to the spring trip to Florida that matched them against strong competition. Some of the night- life activities may also have cleared their heads. In just their second season as varsity, the Mariners have proven their ability to compete effectively, although they've been forced to play indepen- dently of the Knickerbocker Confer- ence. Perhaps this will change next year and league play will be reorganized. A strong showing is expected next year since only seniors Brian Bennett, Jerry White, and John Gajan will join the g ranks of Kings Point alumni. Coach Ja- cobs wil have a strong core to build on with the returning lettermen. Respon- sibility will be passed on to upcoming seniors Kevin Fay, Marc Pfingst, Jim Worfolk, and George DeMarinis.

Unfortu- nately, this start was not indicative of things to come. Poor timing with exams and less than desirable cooperation from Mother Nature resulted in defeats and cancellations. However when the team was in full force with the talents of Todd Maffucci, Steve Eidam, Mark Richards, Karl Kirsch and Mike Frefen- sen the golfers always gave the opposi- tion a run for their money. If nothing else, the golf team was a sure good time. The ready reserve unit was always set to go and their skills were called upon frequently, according to Captain Parmater. One most memo- rable experience for the team was Bill Rich's showing at Hofstra.

Coached by Neil Gedderberg, the Mariners were doing some things out on lower Roosevelt Field that you wouldn't see at a Met's game. Spring training opened up for the Mariners in early March. Eleven return- ing players including five starters rounded out a 20 man team. The team kenw that the season was well under- way when the new toss-up drill ma- chine arrived. However, with three weeks to go before opening day, the Mariners took their yearly two week vacation to accomodate final exams, spring break, and license. Despite a red hot start at the plate by Tom Woodstock the Mariners dropped their first four games against tough op- ponents. And then there was the trip to Coast Guard. The Mariner's gained a split against the Coasties, their first win of the year coming in an exciting 5-2 victory. Team Captain Ray Bartoszek called a meeting after the game to con- gratulate the players - some say that this was the turning point of the season. The next week saw the Mariners drop three one run ball games before traveling to Ft Schuyler. Pitching aces Plunkett and Peddle preserved Scott SPencer's first college college victory, 7-6. After the game, Peddle dedicated his performance to a girl he used to date in the Bronx. The Mariners starting nine consisted of Tom Broccoli, Tom Woodstock, Craig Miller, and Guy Shobe in the out field, Jon Ayres, George Kerst, and Ray Bartoszek in the infield, and Tim Olson behind the plate. Co-Captain George Kerst was selcted as team MVP for his strong performance at the plate and in the field. t I I I 1986 Co-Captains a :. - V . • X0I 218 Sports If Sports 219 SAFE 1986 Mariner's Baseball (left to right) 1st Row G.

Last year, Drucker coached the netmen to a 10-4 finish. He was named as Academy Coach of the Year in 1981. He left as coach soon after that and returned last year.

Junior Andy Cairns took his chances as did freshman Kevin D'Arcy and Valire Sazanov. Dou- bles doubles combinations depended on the opposition. Horman, who played first singles, also played first doubles. But he had four different part- ners during the year.

Stedman Trophy as the Academy's athlete of the year. A handsome plaque was presented to Woodrick by Rear Admiral Thomas A. King at the Varsity Awards Dinner held in the Officers' Club on June 7, 1986. Woodrick is the 43rd recipient of the Stedman award and the first foot- ball player to win it since 1983. Four candidates were nominated by their respective coaches in mid-May. The nominees were Woodrick, Larry Jordan of the basketball team, Alan Raush of the men's volleyball team and Peter Webster of the swimming team. Selection was made by the Athletic Board. Woodrick enjoyed his finest season as a senior. He led the team in tackles (66), was second in assists (32) and fin- ished as the top tackier with 98 total hits. He sacked 14 quarterbacks for a total of 116 yards in losses. All of his individual totals (tackles, assists, hits, sacks) were personal highs. In four years, he had 212 tackles, 108 assists, 320 hits and 39 sacks. Awards continued to pour in for him throughout the season. During the year, he was chosen as the Liberty Con- ference Defensive Player of the Week on two occasions (St. John's and C.W. Post) and also honored as the Long Is- land Sports Network's TV Defensive Player of the Week. He was named to the Eastern Coillegiate Athletic Confer- ence's Weekly All-Star team for the C.W. Post game. At season's end, he earned five addi- tional honors. He was named to the Associated Press' Little All-America team (Honorable Mention), the Pizza Hut Division III All-America (Second Team), the E.C.A.C. Metro New York- New Jersey All-Star team and the Liber- ty Conference All-Star team (First Team). He was named the Defensive Player of the Year in the Liberty Conference. In his career, he has been named to the Pizza Hut All-America team three times and the E.C.A.C. Metro NY-NJ All-Star team twice. Woodrick has been a mainstay on the front four of the foot- ball team since he started his freshman year. The Stedman Trophy was not the only reward he received that night. He was presented with the Hanley-Nae- gele Award from the Kings Point Mari- time Association as the Defensive M.V.P. of the football team (the wres- tling half of the award was given to Dan Dugan), a plaque from the Athletic As- sociation as the overall M.V.P. of the football team, another plaque from the K.P.M.A. as one of three football cap- tains, an All-America certificate for the Pizza Hut team and a wristwatch for earning four varsity letters. A number of awards were presented that evening including: E.C.A.C. Merit Medal- to Al Walsh of the soccer team as the scholar-athlete of the senior class. Walsh was also named to the Adidas Academic All- America first team and the College Sports Information Directors of Ameri- ca (COSIDA) District One Academic All-America team. By earning a spot on the COSIDA All-District team, Walsh was a candidate for the national All- America team for which balloting was still being conducted in late June. The E.C.A.C. Merit Medal was presented by the Petty Officers' Club of the Acade- my and the club added a U.S. Savings Bond. Andrew Gibson Award - to Chris Fiore as the Most Valuable Offensive Player on the football team.

I am sure that despite all we may say and do, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy holds a very special meaning for everyone, and the words ACTA NON VERBA are significant. I would like to take the time to tell all those who will ever pick up Midships 1986 about one individual who has fully embodied the Academy motto - Tom LeBlanc. I remember Tom LeBlanc in the summer of 1982 during indoctrination. He was one of many pushers who made those two weeks especially long. Tom was a shining star at the Academy, an excellent cross country runner. Kings Point Scholar, tops in his class, and designated to a Command Midshipman Officer billet. Tragedy struck after first quarter finals in October 1983 when he was involved in an automobile accident. Tom was taken to North Shore University Hospital, where he remained for several months. He was later moved to a hospital closer to his home in Connecticut, where he began the difficult process of recovery. He progressed through physical therapy, rebuilding all the bodily functions and motor skills which we take for granted. Tom enrolled in college courses to ease himself back into the academic world. I remember his visit back to Kings Point in the Spring of 1985,1 met him in the hallway outside the canteen. We greeted each other and talked for a minute, his last words to me were I'll be back. Tom did come back, joining the Class of 1986 in July 1985, to complete his degree at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. He struggled through First Class year with the rest of us hammering out papers, taking tests, eating the food, and getting to June sixteenth. Well, Tom made it, through his own will and self-determination. He has achieved the goal he set for himself and set an example for many others. Tom LeBlanc is the stuff movies and books are made of. Tom, on behalf of the Class of 1986, I thank you for the example you have set, and am proud to have graduated with you. Good Luck and Best Wishes. Colin K. H.

During graduation, General Kelly spoke of the impact of all of these events on our global village, and how each and every one of them has some far reaching affect on our lives. In the following pages, we have chosen some of these events, both na- tional and international which have had an impact on America. During 1985, the space shuttle pro- gram moved ahead by leaps and bounds (preceeding page). Space walk- er James Van Hoften stands tall on the end of the robot arm of the Space Shuttle Discovery after successfully launching the repaired Syncom satellite in September. A high school teacher goes into space. Christa McAuliffe folds her training uniform as she packed for a trip to Houston where she began her training for her trip into space. McAu- liffe was a high school teacher from Concord High School in Concord, New Hampshire. Her flight was scheduled for late January 1986. The wars in the Mid-East continued through 1985. A distraught Moslem man holds his son moments after they survived a car bomb explosion outside a West Beirut restaurant in late August. They are shown being hurried away from the carnage by another man as cars burn in the rubble-strewn street. Cancer awareness became the talk of the times as President Reagan with his wife Nancy, gives the A-Okay sign from his hospital window in July after under- going surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his lower intestine. The 74- 486 The Year In Review year old president was back on the job within weeks after the operation. From the movies we saw at the the- ater to the songs we listened to on the radio, Americanism was re-affirmed during 1985 - 1986. Movies such as Syl- vester Stallone's Rocky IV, in which Sly goes up against a super-human Russian boxer, played by Dolph Lundgren strengthened our attitudes about being an American. It was joined by others like Rambo, another Stallone movie, along similar themes there was also Ar- nold Schwartznager in Commando, and in 1986 came the blockbuster sum- mer movie starring Tom Cruise - Top Gun. On the radio, blue collar troubador Bruce Springsteen was the undisputed Boss of Rock-and-Roll. His songs about Vietnam veterans, steelworkers, and factory workers hit many responsive chords with Americans of all ages. The Year In Review 487 Here at home, pride in your beliefs took on a much more serious position for other groups. An entire city block was destroyed in Philadelphia. It was the result of police efforts to evict members of the radical group MOVE from their fortified rowhouse by drop- ping a small bomb on the building. A fire was started by the device and about sixty houses were destroyed. Questions have arisen as to the necesstiy of this extreme measure to counter radical groups. In sports, Cincinnati Reds player- manager Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb's career hit record in September. The historic number 4,192 hit was a single to left field on a 2-1 pitch from San Diego Padres right hander Eric Show with one out in the bottom of the first inning. Closer to home, in our own Ameri- can Merchant Marine Museum, history was being challenged. Although they lost the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and their first bid for the famed Hale's Trophy, they have won their sec- ond attempt in the Virgin Atlantic II. One year after watching their vessel sink off the coast of England, within hours of breaking the trans-Atlantic re- cord set by the S.S. United States, the challengers have succeeded. Amid the controversy over the gilted trophy is the fact that in the spirit of the contest for the fact that in the spirit of the contest for the fastest Atlantic crossing, the trustees of the Museum hold their position that it is only to be 488 The Year In Review won by a passenger vessel. RADM King noted that only the greatest passenger liners of the last century have ever won the Hales Blue Ribbon Trophy. Vessels like the magnificent 990 foot United States, not a small speed boat of less than a dozen crew that makes refueling stops. The trophy was established in 1935 by Harold Keates Hales, a member of the British Parliment and an ocean liner enthusiast. Since then it has been held by Italian, French, and British passenger ships before it was seemingly retired by the United States more than thirty years ago. As of this printing, the tro- phy remains on loan to the American Merchant Marine Museum by United States Lines. -v The Year In Review 489 J I This year seemed to be the year to celebrate or dedicate monuments across the country. Emotional ceremo- nies were held at various times during the year in Washington D.C. to com- memorate the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Saigon government in Viet- nam. The long overdue memorial is in- scribed with the names of more than 58,000 dead or missing soldiers from the Vietnam war. One can stand in front of the shiny black memorial and see your reflection, a tribute to those who gave their lives so that freedom and democracy could be experienced by all. A little closer to home, the Mariner's Memorial Chapel, a national monu- ment to the American seafarers of the second world war celebrated its silver anniversary. After the war, the efforts of the mari- ners were largely forgotten. A long and difficult campaign to build the Chapel was ended in May 1961, when the mag- nificent shrine was dedicated by Presi- dent John F. Kennedy. The chapel owes its existence in large part to the tireless efforts of Vice Admiral Gordon McLintock the fourth superintendent of the Academy. In 1948, Congress authorized the building of the chapel but in the tight post-war fiscal climate, appropriated no money for its construction. So VADM. McLintock set to collect, through public subscription, the then formidable sum of $750,000 needed for the shrine. Contributions came from all 490 The Year In Review completely reclaimed for its scrap met- al value. The steam powered reciprocating engine was found stored in a naval warehouse in California, and returned to the Academy in 1984. Since then, the tireless effort of midshipmen and staff have brought it back to life. Plans for it include the engine to eventually be operated via compressed air, when it is fully restored. sources. Seafarers from every merchant ship flying the U.S. flag gave to the Cha- pel fund. A $15,000 contribution from an Academy neighbor, Alfred P. Sloane, was the largest individual dona- tion received. Twenty-five cents from a 12-year old California boy was the smallest gift recorded. Both were gratefully accepted. The celebration included Bishop John McGann, head of the Diocese of Rockille Centre, Reverend Charles McMillian, RADM John McNamara of the U.S. Navy, Chief of Chaplains, and a representative of the United Kingdom bearing a message from the Queen. Another event which received atten- tion at the Academy, was the dedica- tion of the American Merchant Marine Museum's Annex - Berger Hall. Berger Hall now houses the engine of the Em- ery Rice, a one time training vessel of the Academy. It was procured from the navy and renamed, only to see a short life span at the Acadmy. When it left the Academy, it was presumed to be The Year In Review 491 As time goes on, so does life, there were many deaths during the course of the year, among the most prominent were Orson Welles, 70, who died of a heart attack; Yul Brynner, 65, of cancer; Rock Hudson, 59, after a battle with AIDS. These three deaths made the American public aware of the many health hazards which one exposes one self to through our short lifetimes. A series of devestating earthquakes rumbled through Mexico City in Sep- tember ruining the vacations of many visiting tourists, the death toll was in the thousands. Few in the metropolitan area of 18 million escaped the effects of the first quake, which registered 8.1 on the Richter scale; or the second quake, which measured 7.5. Violence and terrorism appeared on many fronts in the world, but all seemed to be directed towards the American. One of the most stunning scenes was a Trans World Airlines jet with 145 passenger and 8 crew mem- bers which was hijacked in Athens, Greece, in June. The Sheite hijackers took the plane to Beirut, then to Alge- ria and then back to Beirut. Most of the hostages were released within days but the remaining 39 hostages were held for 17 days. One American hostage was killed. 492 The Year In Review In Europe, there was the bombing of the West Berlin night club, as well as the threats of various terrorist groups against the United States. However, terrorism became a highlighted inter- national problem when four Palestinian terrorists hijacked the Italian cruise lin- er Achille Lauro while on a Mediterra- nean cruise. One American was killed. After the ship was released, the Egyp- tian government agreed to return the hijackers to the PLO. However, the hi- jackers were intercepted by American F-14's as they were flown out of Egypt and returned to Italy to stand trial, causing a strain on American-Egyptian relations. The trial began in late Spring of 1986 and was expected to continue through the Summer. On the other side of the world, riots were an almost daily occurence in South Africa as blacks protested Apart- heid. In the photo above, a white man runs from a jeering group of stone throwing blacks in downtown Johan- nesburg as widespread violence con- tinued to breakout throughout the country. The Kansas City Royals won the World Series. Royals pitcher Bret Sa- berhagen embraces third baseman George Brett after pitching a five-hitter to give the Royals the World Series Crown over the St. Louis Cardinals. Sa- berhagen, the winner of two series games, was named as the MVP in the series. The Year In Review 493 President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev talk in front of a fireplace at the Fleur D'Eau Tuesday in Geneva. Both super power leaders at- tempt to come to terms regarding the Summit talks, the biggest obstacle to the talks being Reagan's go support of the Strategic Defense Initative. Fallen leaders amid political disrup- tion during the year included Baby Doc Duvalier of Haiti, who fled to France, and Ferdinand Marcos, Presi- dent of the Philippines. After losing a highly contested election between Corazon Aquino and himself, Marcos 494 The Year In Review fled to Hawaii utilizing American mili- tary aid. Marcos is shown here address- ing 100 members of his family and friends after leading them in prayer fol- lowing a private Easter Sunday Mass at his home. When Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos fled the Philippines, they took as much of their disputed wealth with them as they could carry, leaving behind an as- tonishing amount of opulence at the palace, among the items left, 3000 pairs of shoes belonging to Imelda Marcos. Disaster seemed to occur around the world. The United States experienced Hurricane Gloria, which did billions of dollars worth of damage up and down the eastern seaboard of the U.S. A Delta Airlines jet liner crashed near Dallas in August, killing 137 people. The plane was on a flight from Ft. Lau- derdale, Florida to Los Angeles, Califor- nia with an intermediate stop at Dallas- Fort Worth. Thirty four people survived the crash, but five died of in- juries later. The plane encountered a severe wind shear as it plunged to the ground. Residents of Amero, Colombia were taken by surprise as heavy rainfall en- couraged mudslides. A resident in the Colombian mountains is helped by the Colombian Red Cross during the dig- ging out efforts. Many more people were still trapped and rescue attempts went on for several weeks after. Moth- er Nature played a cruel trick on these people, where once stood a village, now stands a dirt hill, holding many of their loved. The single most astounding accident during the year, was the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger. It carried seven crew members, among them Christa McAuliffe, the teacher in space. The explosion was the first in-flight di- saster in the 56 U.S. space missions. Extensive research and investigation of the accident followed the Challeng- er accident. Press coverage that day was incredible, the three major stations cancelled their regular programming for approximately five hours, playing the tape of the explosion over and over, asking the question “Why? This question was not to be answered soon. Extensive research, investigation, and recovery of the Challenger fol- lowed in the ensuing months. NASA was the subject of a Congressional hearing panel, which after four months of hearings and testimony from engi- neers, test pilots, and NASA officials concluded that the Rubber “O rings between the sections of the shuttle's solid rocket boosters was at fault, and that NASA officials were at fault for al- lowing a potential problem to get past all of the safety checks which were established. The Year In Review 495 Americans finally saw action against terrorism in March 1986. President Reagan authorized a naval armada to assemble in the Med. and converge on Libya. This was an effort to assert the free shipping rights of American ves- sels. Shown here is a U.S. Navy photo of a Libyan missile corvette, a Soviet built Nanuchka-2 class vessel, hit by a U.S. Navy missile in the Gulf of Sidra. It was the last of five Libyan patrol boats hit in a series of engagements after a Libyan missile was fired at U.S. Navy jets. American forces made a clean sweep across Libya, as they took out major communications stations and military outposts. Of greater impact on our global vil- lage, was the explosion and damage to reactor number four at Chernobyl, in the Kiev region of the USSR in May 1986. It was the first major nuclear ex- plosion of that magnitude in history. Experts await the long term effects of the damaged reactor, as it is located in Russia's bread basket. Damage to the reactor can be seen at the center of the photo below a chimney. It has had world wide impact, as the effects of the radiation spread to the neighboring Soviet bloc countries, and the cloud released from the explosion traveled across to the North American continent. They originally denied that there was a problem, only to back down when they needed help to con- tain the explosion. 496 The Year In Review Stephen Alexzander Tollman Born June 30, 1964 Died January 11, 1986 Words are difficult. To all the people here today, words can do very little. Last night I sat down with a collection of sen- tences and phrases and paragraphs that were written by a collection of people who knew Steve . . . who were part of his legacy here. And as I began to collect them, I realized how truly little those symbols on paper could do for us today. How truly little indeed. But in that wave of sadness came a unique brevity. Steve was not a man of words. He was not flamboyant, nor was he outspo- ken. And as I stared at the assorted phrases and sentences, I realized that Steve had given us something far less tangible than words. He had given us a new perspective ... a fresh, clear sense thru which we would now view our lives. Steve has given all of us here today a powerful sense of urgency. He has given us a pressing need to examine our lives and to find worth. In a way, he has given us an insecurity. He has forced us to look at our values and at our own expense of time and energy and at our goals, and forced us to validate them ... to validate their worth. Stephen Tollman did battle. When he was down, he came back to Kings Point and fought for a second chance. You all remember that. When he was in North Shore and down again he fought for a second chance. For 8 months Steve did battle with empty hospital rooms. He went for months without tasting fresh air . . . without smelling freshly cooked food . . . without being able to touch another human being. He suffered and survived days of pain and agony just to hold in his grasp the right that all of us here hold today. And that is to look at our lives and create worth. A right to rise up each morning and create something in this world that gives meaning to our days. This is Steve's legacy. It is in his spirit that we follow for his is a great spirit . .

Fun on the grinder On July 9, 1985 292 boys and girls from all corners of the country entered Vickery Gate to begin what many of them called the two worse weeks of their lives. Parents and children were seperated on Tomb Field, as each one was pro- cessed through the morning long check-in process. Everyone was fun- neled through the six check stations with precision accuracy. By 1200 each plebe candidate had been issued his her new khaki uniforms, gotten a hair cut, picked up their first issue, signed their names at least 12 times, and been instructed on basic marching skills. Formed up on Barney Square they were addressed by the Superin- tendent, RADM King, and the Regi- mental Commander, Mark Baden. All were marched into Delano Hall and the beginning of the two weeks called Indoc. As the two weeks progressed, each and every single person who entered Vickery Gate was tested mentally dur- ing Plebe Functions, physically during drill and morning calesthenics. There were a few moments of relaxation in the Pub with the RPO and down at the pool. They quietly talked and got to know one another. After two weeks had gone by these young men and women came together, ready to jour- ney through four years of their lives as the Class of 1989.

It was designed with the nautical theme Fair Winds and Following Seas. There are many hidden mean- ings in the crest of the ring, but none as special as the ring itself. While at the Academy, the ring is worn with the class crest inboard to symbolize class unity, after graduation, it is worth with the Academy seal inboard to serve as a reminder of all we leave behind. The Ring Dance serves to bring all of this together. It is an event second only to graduation and passing license exams. The baptismal ceremony of the ring in water from the seven seas signifies the culmination of three years of strife and finally reaching First Class year. The Ring Dance was held on August 9, 1985 in the elegant surroundings of the Huntington Townhouse. Everyone experienced a good time from start to finish sampling the culinary works and dancing to the music provided by Full House. It is a night which will bring back many memories for all.

Verbally expresses the class's aims by charting a course through their academic years at the Academy in the class room and also at sea. The number 142 represents a trib- ute to the memory of the former midshipmen who gave their lives in service to their country in World War Two. The Class of 1986 is symbolized by a unique form of imagery - the Clipper ship. The sails smartly dis- play the initials USMMA with the class year '86 froming the hull of the ship. The mermaid, a mythical nautical symbol is displayed at the bow of the ship. The Clipper ship encounters the imaginary face of the wind and storm as it sails its course around the world. The Clipper ship, symbolic of the Class of '86 passes through turbu- lent seas into calmer waters to- wards new horizons depicted by the sunshine. The motto The world is our cam- pus encompassing the world symbolizes the fact that the Mer- chant Marine service is world wide. The midshipmen's swords are a symbol of the midshipman status and military training at the Academy. The propeller and anchor are two recognized Academy symbols which proudly symbolize the Academy's heritage. 2 0 symbolizes the graduating standard required by midshipmen who attend the Academy.

The 300 Nights party followed on Saturday night. Both A-split and B- split's alike filled the Pub and living room of Land Hall. They went about bringing down the house to the old favorites like 'We Gotta Get Outa This Place', 'Rebel Yell', and 'Burning Down the House' on the newly installed Sound System. Although the on cam- pus party ended at midnight, partyers continued the celebration at Chi-Chi's until closing. 506 Special Events I | V Scott Walsak, Steve Reilly, and Pat Murphy watch from the side lines Woody Mike Cunningham strikes again Bob Kennedy Lou Limpus sample the refreshments Acceptance Day The Regiment forms up on the parade field After some sixty odd days after the Class of 1989 first passed through the gates, they were once again able to leave following the Acceptance Day Ceremonies. September 7, 1985 marked the day plebe candidates were sworn into the U.S. Naval Reserve and took the Merchant Marine Oath to be- come fourth classmen. An hour long review was held before the opening football game. After many hours of practicing ground arms since indoc, the fourth class were able to show their parents what they had learned in the two short months that had passed since they entered Kings Point. All had grown a little older and wiser. The guest reviewing officer was Vice Admiral Wiliam P. Lawrence, USN Chief of Naval Personnel, Deputy CNO - Manpower, Personnel, and Training. Vice Admiral Lawrence a former super- intendent of the Naval Academy spoke of the importance of the United States Merchant Marine Academy to the armed forces and the nation. Citing such examples as Military Sealift Com- mand and the Marine Corps supply ship prepositioning plan. The Admiral pointed out that a strong Merchant Marine is vital to the defense of Ameri- can interest abroad. He also praised the superior education provided by the Academy. The Class of 1989 had lost some twenty six class mates since they 508 Special Events Fourth Classmen prepare to ground arms walked through the gates. They were the smallest entering class of the four classes at the Academy, and when they took their Naval Reserve oath on that September day, they became the first class at the Academy to face the eight year Naval Reserve obligation. They are a unique group of people, as is any class which passes through the Academy, only time will tell how unique special they really are.

Homecoming brought back many old friends and ac- quaintences which were renewed at the various tailgate parties and picnics on Roosevelt field. Mr. Eugene Story, President of the Kings Point Alumni Association was the reviewing officer for the Formal Parade which took place before the Mariners took the field against Gettysburg. The Mariners went into the game with a strong record and a hard playing team, they were undefeated. However, Get- tysburg proved itself to be a surprise as they stormed the field and took the score to the final of 14-42. Special Events 511 Hurricane Gloria Second Company battens down the hatches First quarter finals were interrupt- ed by Hurricane Gloria. It started off the Gulf Coast on Tuesday and worked its way up the East Coast. Gloria was reputed to be the worst hurricane of the century and slammed into the North Carolina coast on Wednesday with 120 mph winds and dropped 20-1- inches of rain. After bouncing off the Caroli- nas, she crept up towards the tri- state area. Meanwhile back at Kings Point, finals week was proceeding in full force, everyone rushing to the TV's and radios after finals to see what the latest was. Thursday morning finals came and went as Gloria hit Long Island at 1200. the North shore saw little action, but most of the power was knocked out for the day, as mid- shipmen struggled to study for finals by candle. A moment of rare fore- sight and compassion hit the Dean's Office as finals were postponed if power wasnt restored by 1800. There was a mass exodus of midship- men at the gate as power came back on at 1830, only to go out again by 2000. Long Island Sound as Gloria passes Lonnie King and Carl Rassmussen wade through the chest deep water at the waterfront 512 Special Events Halloween Mixer 1 -c,r The mad mixer scene saw many changes during 1985. This was due to the combined efforts of the RPO, Colin Ching and the 1st Rotation President of the Social Committe, Dave Arsenault. They brought in record numbers of girls, upped the average age, and planned some of the most successful mixers we have had in a long time. For the first time, there was a dollar charge at the door, the dollar went towards the assorted munchies and soda which were now offered at the mixers. We saw our first Halloween Ball dur- ing October. Delano Hall was trans- formed for the night to commemorate the occasion. A giant ghost billowed at the front steps, spiderwebs clung to the walls, and streamers lowered the ceil- ing for the evening. Everyone rocked to the music by one of Long Island's best - The Touch, and saw an atten- dance of close to 900 people. Midshipmen were required to come in costume or attend in their drab lib- erty attire. Creativity took control and costumes of all kinds and colors ap- peared; the Rocky Horror transvestite (see photo at left), Chippendales men, Beer Ball Spacemen; Gumby, and some smurfs to name a few. USMMA's first Halloween Ball was by far a smashing success. It is hoped that the tradition will continue and the mixers never stop. Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner A sure signal that the holidays are rapidly approaching are the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Thanksgiving dinner was held on Mon- day, November 25, 1985. Midshipmen were treated to a Thanksgiving reast of turkey with all of the trimmings. Fol- lowing the dinner, an all faiths service was held in the Mariners Memorial Chapel, where everyone gave thanks for all we had been b essed with through the year, and asked the Lord to continue our good fortune. For Christmas dinner, all of the finery from the Christmas Ball was transport- ed to Delano Hall. Handmade Christ- mas tree decorations, lights, and streamers decked the mess hall and gave it a festive air. Appropriately at- tired in Service Dress Blues, midship- men fested on Shrimp Cocktail and succulent Prime Rib. Bow-tied waiters served dinner and sat down to stuff themselves for a second time. The Commandant lit the smoking lamp when dinner was over and a smokey haze soon filled the room. The Christmas Candle Light service was held after Christmas Dinner. It is an all faiths service taking place in the Mariners Chapel which offers everyone in the Academy family to reflect on the real meaning of the holiday season: spreading good will, good fortune, and friendship to all. This is symbolized by the passing of the candle light through- out the church. In the dimmed lights, the light of one candle is passed from one person to another in the church, symbolic of passing our friendship and good will. After the service, carolers got to- gether and strolled the campus over the moonlit paths. 514 Special Events The brass enter The Candle Light Service RADM King finishes that last lesson.

It came exactly one week after New York state changed its legal drinking age from nineteen to twenty-one. Indications of something new came in October, when posters for the evenings band showned up on zero deck - 13 females! Then we heard that there wasn't going to be a parachute to make the gym unrecognizable. When December 8 finally fell, the changes and effort put into the ball came together well. Plebe work parties draped red and white streamers through the rafters, wire, and pipes to lower the ceiling, white tables dot- ted the dance floor dotted with an ele- gant arrangement of pine boughs, pine cones, and a single taper. In keeping with the theme of I'll be Home for Christmas, state flags covered the bleachers and Santa's tug pulled a barge loaded with candy canes. The Academy family showed how much it cared as Midshipmen and staffs like cluttered the deck below the twin- kling Christmas tree with gifts for needy children. This spirit of giving and joy made the evening for everyone, a sur- prisingly large turnout of first classmen coming in from wining and dining and romanced their dates to the music of Kit McLure's thirteen tuxedeoed laides. Special Events 517 Mardi Gras Mardi Gras, or fat Tuesday, is the col- orful New Orleans celebration which occurs once every year before Ash Wednesday. It is a time of all-out cele- bration before the Lenten Holidays. For the past three years, the New Orleans Alumni Association has been gracious enough to sponsor a Mardi Gras party for the first class. This year, they sent up beads of all colors and kinds, King Cakes, and decorations of the tradi- tional purple, yellow, and green Mardi Gras colors. The celebration was held at the Great Neck Elks Club on Grace Avenue. To say that it was just a party, would be an understatement. Dressed in outra- geous, cute, conservative, or kinky cos- tumes, everyone shed some of their in- hibitions and had a fantastic evening.

Yeah, I've been studying all night, dit! says Shayne Farrell A quick lesson in engineering Nice doo! The enemy First classmen were quickly brought back into reality following Spring Break. Many started to realize that there was only one week to go before License Week. Engineers and Deckies a ike started off the week studying, but soon found other pursuits to spend their time on. As the first week of April came to a close the gravity of studying soon hit home in all first class rooms. Everyone buckled down by Sunday night to study. After a long night of last minute studying the books, the first day of Li- cense Exams arrived. Seniors were in- structed to be outside O'Hara Hall no later than 0800, naturally, no one was there to give the exam until after 0900. Once the Coast Guard inspectors ar- rived and set up, everyone settled down and began some serious test taking. The week flew by a little faster than expected, between the all night study sessions, sleeping between tests, and getting some last minute studying, there wasn't much time to spare. There was also the waiting to see what the scores were after the exams to ease that feeling of edginess of not knowing if you passed or failed. Thursday after- noon saw the bell knotted with grey ties as the Deckies finished their last test. Friday started it all over again, last- ing far into the weekend. For everyone, it was one more stepping stone closer on the path to graduation.

We love Kings Pointer's! 522 Special Events Mike Woodrick provides extra entertainment t'i, After a long and careful search, the Adria's was selected the site to hold the One Hundered Nights til Graduation Party. The events started on Wednes- day, with the annual pie throwing. Tra- dition, however was ended this year as the pranksters were caught, and were eventually given four weeks to think about their acts. For most people, the celebration started on Saturday during the early af- ternoon hours in any one of the forty hotel rooms which were rented. At eight p.m. the doors to the ballroom opened and the party began. Partying was well underway by nine. The make- shift dance floor proved to be useless as people began to pour into the room enjoying the music of Sore Thumb. Par- tyer's packed the ballroom from one end to the other, where ever empty rug space was available. More people filled the lounge as the took a break from the heat of the ballroom and pur- chased drinks from the bar. The One Hundred Nights Party will be well re- membered by the Class of eighty-six and the Adria. Special Events 523 Recognition Through the mud pits Bridget, the mousse goes in your hair. Recognized at last Crossing Hague Basin 524 Special Events The Class of 1989 agonized for eight long months walking against bulkheads, not being able to talk in the halls, and all associated with being an unrecog- nized plebe. Wednesday, April 16 came around and many high expectations were quickly shattered. Friday, April 18 arrived and any plebe in the Class could tell you that this was their day. At 1600 they assembled in mass on Barney Square amidst water balloons, shaving cream, fire hoses, and eggs. A collection of midshipman officers stood at the foot of Delano Hall listen- ing to the loud chanting and attempt- ing to pass out instructions. When 1637 rolled around the Run for Recognition began. Anyone in the Class of '89 who had never gotten a chance to fully explore the wonders of our 67 acres got ample opportunity to do so on this day. Their first trek took them past First Company fire hoses and water balloons, then on past the hospital and back along the fences of the Academy. More water awaited them as they ran through Trux- ton Arcade. Now that everyone had been thoroughly hosed down, it was off to the mud pits on Tomb Field, where they had to slither through the mud to continue the course. Having been coated with mud from head to toe, plebes were now required to climb over the batting cage. This was fol- lowed by another job out the gate and around through the back entrance of the Academy. The Wall awaited its climbers, a now partially drained pool filled wtih Winter's mud and slime of- fered itself to anyone. The final obsta- cle in the run was a climb across Hague Basin. Some spirited plebes dove into the 44 degree water and swam for it. When the lasti section crossed the Ba- sin, midshipman officers were chased to Tom Field and were trashed in the mud pits. Thus ended to Run for Recognition. Special Events 525 Victory at last As in past years, the Regiment of Midshipmen campaign for the Muscu- lar Dystrophy Association proved to be very successful. Kings Pointer's donat- ed $17,086 to Jerry's Kids at the Labor Day Telethon in New York City this year.

The bulk of the donations were raised during the Summer of '85 by the Class °f 1989. This year's Boards Auction brought in a record breaking amount, just shy of $10,000! BC2's boards went for $1,005 thanks to Chuck O'Hara, who pledged to shave his head if the boards were sold for over $1,000. The Midshipman MDA Club consists- of many interested and hard working members who met weekly to organize and run the fund raising activities. This year's club was chaired by Connie Dato and Mark Kelly. Sixteen midshipmen were flown by United Airlines to assist with the National Telethon at Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas. A contingent of 130 midshipmen also assisted MDA person- nel in New York City on Labor Day Weekend. Special Events 527 Rosanna plays at the Rockfest A1 Making Boards Auction Calculations Awards Convocation June Weekend was officially induct- ed on Friday, June 13, 1986 at the Awards Convocation. Forty-five awards were given out to graduating first classmen who had displayed out- standing academic, leadership, or professional qualities during their four years at Kings Point. The awards are sponsored by various companies and organizations in the maritime in- dustry who maintain close ties with the Academy. Graduation Weekend, more com- monly referred to as June Weekend, is a time when the graduating class feels the elation of being finished, while at the same time feeling the regret to be leaving the many close friends that they have made during their stay. June Weekend is one last chance for the graduating class to spend some time with all of the friends they have made, during the many festivities that are planned. 530 June Weekend i CAPT Hard presents Karen Joyce the ROA Award Special Superintnedent's Award i i Friday Night Concert Following the Awards Convocation, the next scheduled event for June Weekend was the traditional Friday night concert. After a spectacular sun- set over the New York skyline, Full House began the evening with some definate dance music. Full House played for the Academy for the first time at the Class of 86 Ring Dance in the Huntington Townhouse. It was there that they learned that mid- shipmen know how to enjoy them- selves. They quickly set about to get everyone on the dance floor. A slight breeze helped to keep the night pleasantly cool as the dance floor warmed up. Both parents and midship- men alike enjoyed and danced to the music. Although the night at Eldridge ended early, many continued to enjoy the evening at other area establishments.

The excite- ment generated by the weekend as well as the thoughts of seeing family for the first time in a while got quite a few first classmen out of bed and into whites for one last morning Colors ceremony. The main event of the morning, being the Change of Command, where the members of the Class of 1987 designated to the upper command positions relieve their 1986 counterparts. Dressed in Formal C's for the last time, the ranks saw an unusual number of first classmen in them. After pass- ing-in-review and coming down along the final stretch, first class left formation and headed for El- dridge Pool. 534 June Weekend Tim Andersen goes first Steve Shanklin accepts the Honor Company Ribbon Connie Dato follows suit June Weekend 535 The World Is Our Campus Okay, Don.

The breathtaking backdrop of the bridge, night-time sky line, and moon provid- ed a romantic atmosphere. The theme of this year's ball was The World is Our Playground, a play on the motto of the Shipboard Training Program. It served to remind all of the graduating first class of the times they experienced in the multitude of for- eign ports throughout the world. In keeping with this theme, flags from various countries decorated the stage and Viennese Tables. Colorful ta- blecloths dotted the green lawn giving it a festive atmosphere. On each table rested an candle and several colorful flowering plants. Desserts on the Vien- nese Table ranged from Baklava to Lace Cookies. ij This festive atmosphere provided midshipmen and their dates a place to relax after the extravagant dinners many went to prior to the ball. Rested couples enjoyed and danced to the music of Infinity, until the ball came to a peaceful end at the stroke of one a.m. 538 June Weekend Baccalaureate 1 1 Bob Edel stops to give his famous smile Sunday was a day for relaxation. The 1986 Baccalaureate Service, held in the Mariners Chapel was a time for mid- shipmen and parents to reflect on the guidance and wisdom which God had provided to them over the past four tulmultous years, and the blessings to go on in the future. Monsignor Wiliam J. McCormack ad- dressed the Class of 1986. The Monsi- gnor was an ideally suited speaker, as he has Mariner blood in his veins. He founded the Moriana Oil Tanker Cor- poration and is an Associate member of SNAME. He provided words of wisdom and offered sound advice to the seniors. The non-denominational program included the talents of the Chapel Choir and Brass Ensemble which added the perfect complement to an simple yet meaningful service. Friends and family fill the house Lawn Party John Biemer and Dan McCarthy discuss their jobs Chaplain Alloway tries to steer Mark Baden to the right service The Admiral's Lawn Party was an op- portunity for the graduates to intro- duce their family members to the Fac- ulty and Administration. There was an extreme feeling of relaxation; the meaning of Sunday being the day of rest most certainly manifested itself during the lazy afternoon. Special thanks go out to Mrs.King for provid- ing such amiable hospitality. RADM Mrs King receiving guests Mike Tracy leads the ensemble for the afternoon 540 June Weekend Commencement March on The beginning of the end Graduation Speaker General P.X. Kelly, USMC Waiting June Weekend 541 Monday morning dawned hazy and warm. For the first class, June 16, 1986 had finally arrived. The culmination of four long years had finally began its fi- nal chapter. Excitement began building to a peak when the Class of '86 began forming up for the commencement march on. Congratulations and handshaking ran rampant throughout the ranks as they began marching into position outside O'Hara Hall. At eleven o'clock, the band struck up Stars and Stripes Forev- er and the Fiftieth Commencement Ex- ercises began. The ceremonies were short but ev- eryone lived to relish every moment of it. Rear Admiral King welcomed the parents and guests and was followed by the Honorable John A. Gaughn, the Maritime Administrator who intro- duced the graduation speaker. A long and arduous effort went into finding a graduation speaker. The final outcome, General Paul X. Kelley, USMC, Com- mandant of the United States Marine Corps. General Kelley proved to be an out- standing speaker. He carried himself with all of that which is expected of a Marine, but spoke quite frankly to the graduates. The Commandant of the Marine Corps told the 240 graduates that he hoped Washington realized the importance of merchant ships and the need for more of them. In an interview following the exercises with the Journal of Commerce, he said that the number of ships was grossly deficient. We need a concerted effort to rebuild our maritime capabilities. In other remarks, General Kelley, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, asked the graduates to remember one word from his speech - Followership. If you can be a good follower, chances are you will be an outstanding leader, said General Kelley. I have been a fol- lower for my 36 years as a Marine, then he added Even today as the Commandant, I follow the leadership of the Secretary of the Navy, the Secre- tary of Defense, and the President of the United States. General Kelley, there is no doubt that the members of the class will not forget who spoke at their graduation, and what he had to say. The ability to clearly hear your speech as the jets roared overhead at 1141 is still remem- bered. Our need to re-examine our priorities on our global village has al- ready come to the minds of our 37 ac- tive duty candidates in the class. Following the commencement ad- dress, CAPT McMullen presented the class to receive their degrees. RADM King conferred the degree to each graduate with a handshake and a wish of good luck, (continued on page 544) 542 June Weekend L Geoff Pletcher Shayne Farrell Jack Mylott Bill Powers Mike Woodrick — '86 «sr fc a S , Don't worry Lieutenant, you have them surrounded r—f 1 ■■■ Naval Reserve Oath Anchors Aweigh -1 General Kelley receives a standing ovation 544 June Weekend CAPT John Hill of the U.S. Coast Guard then took the podium to admin- ister the U.S.C.G. Merchant Marine Li- cense Oath. The U.S. Naval Reserve and U.S. Marine Corps commissions were administered by General Kelley, followed by Colonel Franklin D. Bar- borak, USA who swore in the five Army candidates. As the end drew closer, RADM King presented the graduates to the Mari- time Administrator as having complet- ed the four year course and all of its requirements. He was succeeded by the Alma Mater, which found many graduates silently singing the words. Father Bevins blessed the class, asking the Lord to continue to guide them through the future. Finally, came the somewhat befuddled cheer and tradi- tional tossing of the hats. During the aftermath of the ceremo- nies, parents and family descended from the stands to join the teeming graduates in their elation. Champagne corks were heard as everyone headed for Wiley Hall one last time to pick up their diplomas, licenses, and Naval Re- serve papers. Then there was the final trip out through Vickery Gate, which brought back quite a few memories. The Class of nineteen hundred and eighty-six had finally come and gone. Although, we have all passed through the gates of Kings Point for a final time as a midshipman. It is hoped that the U.S. Merchant Marine Acade- my means more to all of us than some place we went to school. As Mike Ped- dle put it, Kings Point is not the Acade- my, nor is it the Faculty and Adminis- tration. Kings Point is the 17,500 who have passed before us and those that will follow us.
