This is the night that everyone has been waiting for since the day they got here. Seeing “the rock” on the hands of seniors is something that inspires us to keep on going. It helps us to remember that there is something at the end of the our journey. We can take our class ring wherever we go to remind us of our good times at “The Point.” The ring is something material to remind us of what we had to endure to make it through the Academy. The Admiral begins the night by “christening” the ring of each midshipman with water from each of the Seven Seas. He then places the ring around the neck of the midshipman’s date. The midship- men spend the night talking about the past four years, the next four years, and what they hope to accomplish during their last year here at Kings Point. This really is a special night for the first classmen because it is the first night that they all are together for the first time after being divided to go out to sea. It is a night that marks final stages of a midshipman at the academy, and the beginning of the duty as an officerto serve his her country.

It was fitting that one of the pair, the SS JOHN BROWN, visited the Academy, where so many Liberty ship mariners trained, in Fall 1997. The proud vessel sailed to Kings Point from New London and Greenport, with USMMA midshipmen as part of the crew. Once at the Academy, groups of midshipmen sailed out to tour the historic ship. Some plebe sections actually held classes aboard. Later in the fall, SS JOHN BROWN went into drydock in Baltimore for maintenance. Groups of midshipmen visited the shipyard to get a firsthand look at the work being done. SS JOHN BROWN has a special place in the heart of Kings Point!

That was the beginning for the Class of 2001. Years of dreams and months of preparation had finally come to an end and a journey was about to begin. The first day of Plebe Indoctrination was an experience. Parents, families, and friends said goodbye to the plebe candidates and saw them come out of O’ Hara Hall as changed individuals who had just left them at the door an hour ago. Plebe Candidates quickly went from high school graduates to officers in training. The plebe class had their first formation in the infamous khaki shorts, baseball hats, and knee-high socks. Admiral Matteson addressed the class from the steps of Delano as parents stayed and watched to try and indentify their child in the formation. The Admiral informed the plebe candidates that the people to their right and to their left were the ones that were going to get them through the school. He went on to say that it is difficult to make it through the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and that the candidates were no longer individuals, but the Class of2001. The two weeks of indoctrination were meant to be physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging. Indoctrination was filled with many things that are fun to talk about and things that would rather not be remembered. Whatever the case, the survivors are still here. Indoctrination trained the plebe candidates everything they would need to make it through the academy and become the best officers to lead the country. Whether indoctrination was a great experience or something that would rather be forgotten, it is over and now it is just a memory. 35 ! Right: This is not a typical lunch muster. Below: Is this how plebe candidates are expected to march in section?? “Remember, John, we’ve got revenge tomorrow!” 36 Role Reversal Boards Day is a time of much anticipation and a bit of revenge for a plebe candidate at Kings Point. After indoctrination is over, and a few weeks of life with the regiment, plebe candidates can be found planning activities for their officers to perform along with long lists of who they want to see doing push-ups for them. The day began early, as candidates, passing up this rare opportunity to sleep an extra forty minutes, could be found outside on company paths barking out orders at their officers plebes for the day.” The morning was interesting as the activities were carried out with a lack of discipline from the seniors, and a great amount of fun. The afternoon was available for the class of 2001 to ask questions and learn the jobs of the officers whose boards they bought. Most spent the night watching movies until late in the wardrooms with the day coming to an abrupt end the next morn- ing at 0625, as a majority exited their rooms for morning muster and mistakenly blew off that first square. Overall, the day was quite a success. Guys, do you think we’re having too much fun?” 37 eekend ‘97 The annual beat retreat begins the Acceptance weekend festivities on Friday night. Captain Kenneth Force, USMS, has the overwhelming job of transforming the plebe candidates into musicians who can perform up to the standards of the Regimental Band. This beat retreat is the first real performance of the Regimental Band for the year. For the plebes, this is the first time that they see their parents since they left home in July. To perform in the beat retreat provokes a sense of pride for the midshipmen as well as the family, friends, and alumni. Outside of the band, the plebe class runs the rest of the show. The plebes carry the state flags as well as fifty national ensigns. Many other plebes are involved in the skit performed in the middle of the band performance. And remaining plebes are used for constructing scenery and doing backstage work. The ceremony is known as “Beating the Retreat” and began in the 17th century in Europe. Drummers were sent throughout the streets playing “beatings” to warn troops to return to their camps for the night. This ceremony faded with time but ceremonial “Beat Retreats” were passed on and military bands were used to lower the colors for the evening. This year’s skit involved the battle between the U.S.S. Constitution and the HMS Guerriere. The plebes presented their version of the battle with the merchant mariners coming to the rescue. The beat retreat takes months of practice and hard work but works out to be an inspiring and touching ceremony. 38 3 They look just like the Royal Marine Marching B and! i i Right: Attending morning colors was a unique and stirring experience for the youngsters 40 Reality Check During the summer of 1997, the USMMA participated in the “Reach for Tomorrow” program. Twenty-five boys and girls from the urban Metro Washington Area had the opportunity to spend about a week at Kings Point. Their visit fulfilled one of the roles of the Academy in serving the community. By having the kids meet and live with midshipmen and attend special presentations, we encouraged and motivated them to seek self- improvement and strive for a brighter future. The kids were very receptive and seemed to enjoy such events as the Human Relations sessions, during which they actively participated in discussions about equality, discrimination, and race. Scores of midshipmen, particularly the second class petty officers, helped run the “Reach for T omorrow” visit. All involved shared in a growing experience that opened our eyes to the realities of the world outside Kings Point. For most of the youngsters, the Long Island Sound cruise was their first waterborne experience 41 Right: “...I do!” Right: Class of 2001: “Where are my parents?” Below: There’s no backing out now! 42 September 13,1997 The long-awaited acceptance day. Acceptance day marks our beginning as midshipman here at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. On this day, we are accepted into the regiment of midshipmen by the officers of the academy. Acceptance by the rest of the regiment is a bit down the road from here. The Class of2001 gathers on the track of Tomb Field to take their oath into the U.S. Naval Reserve. The rest of the regiment gathers on the grass as they watch the plebe candidates turn into midshipmen. The parents fill the stands as the plebes realize that they have just taken one of the biggest steps in their lives. For the plebes, this is overwhelming, yet exciting. Now they have the priviledges of talking in Delano, wearing eagles and other insignia, being called midshipmen, and getting stuck. The parents and families sit in the stands as Admiral Matteson addresses the class once again and reminds them of his speech on the steps of Delano July 5,1997, the day they reported to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. The day continued by having aclass picture taken, cheering at the football game, and best of all, getting liberty for the first time. 43 Dinners The regiment celebrates Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Spring Season with a formal dinner. The midshipmen look forward to this because it is one time that they can enjoy a good meal in Delano and spend time socializing. Members of the faculty and staff attend the dinner with the midshipmen as selected fouth classmen serve the tables. Once the dinner is over, the smoking lamp is lit. This allows the midshipmen to smoke their cigars and continue socializing. This year an added surprise gave the smoking lamp a new meaning. Commander Mund and Commander Wallischeck bought the regiment a smoking lamp that will traditionally be lit at every formal dinner held for the regiment. Traditionally at the Spring dinner, the senior class presents 'The Grog.” This is a “bowl full of memories” for the seniors. This year’s grog included: coffee, dirt from THE park, water from the seven seas, a T-shirt from a local pub, and their favorite ice cream, among many other things. Guests from the other service academies were in attendance at the dinner and were daring enough to try the grog. This year’s Christmas Ball’s theme was “Christmas In Ireland.” The plebes helped the second classmen turn the gymnasium into a green and gold ballroom. Members from the Nassau County Drum and Pipe Corps joined the midshipmen celebrating the season by playing bagpipes to make the ball seem a little more Irish. The ball was the first formal event for the Class of2001. It was a time for midshipmen, faculty, and alumni to get together and share the holiday season. The ball was an enjoyable, complete with Santa, his elves, and the great sound of bagpipes to create the spirit of “Christmas in Ireland.” members of the Nassau County Drum and Pipe Corps iS Left: Plebes Enjoying Their First Christmas Ball Below: Santa And His Cheerful Little Elf Talk about working together!! ‘Don’t pass without the following.

The regiment is reminded of this every regimental period they have when they spend the hour with parade practice. Regimental Parades are held in the fall as well as in the spring. The big parades in the fall include acceptance day, alumni weekend, and boy scout weekend. In the spring, the parades are for Memorial day and graduation day. The parades include the band, the cannon squad, the color guard, and an inspecting officer. This is a time for the regiment to show spectators what they are made of. It is a time for the midshipmen to show their pride and honor for themselves and their country.

Following the military tradition of “dining in,” the dinner was to be a formal night for the members of the first class. A renowned guest of honor would be invited to add a special note to the evening. Over the last decade, the Battle Standard Dinner provided an opportunity for the graduating class to gather as one. They heard words of advice and wisdom from a variety of speakers, among whom were a major financial magazine publisher, a television news personality, a chief of naval operations, and a Joint Chiefs chairman. The Battle Standard dinner in March 1998 featured yet another remarkable speaker. Paul W. Bucha, president of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, was someone who “walked the walk.” A Vietnam W ar veteran, who earned the Medal of Honor himself through bravery and courage, Bucha held the attention of the audience as he spoke of leadership, responsibility and respect. His message registered with the Class of 1998 because it came from his heart, through his own experience. Beyond an inspirational evening, the Battle Standard Dinner provided a link with Kings Point history as all attending recalled the sacrifice of the 142 cadet-midshipmen, a memory that is the foundation of much of the Academy’s traditions. Guest of honor Paul W. Bucha delivers an inspirational message to the senior class. 55 The Mariner’s Chorus ends the ceremony with the Alma Mater.

From the very first day that we get here, that is a number — that we will not forget. As part of plebe knowledge, we learned that I there were 142 midshipmen who were out on their sea period during I World War II. These 142 midshipmen were killed while out at sea. The Class of2001 decided to make a special contribution to ft all of the Merchant Mariners who “bought our lives with theirs” I during World War I and World War II. In order to be recognized, ft each class has to make a dedication to these midshipmen who were I killed. This year’s plebe class decided to make it a memorable ft experience that would not only affect their class, but future classes as ft well as all past classes and families of those Mariners killed during ft the wars. The Class of2001 decided to contribute an eternal flame ft and a blocked off pew to these midshipmen. One afternoon, the ft midshipmen, the Admiral and his staff as well as faculty members | attended a ceremony to dedicate this eternal flame. A plaque was I put below the candle to dedicate the candle to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. This was a recognition step that took a lot of hard work to complete, but will forever remind us of those Mariners who lost their lives for their country. 57 June Final Fun Weekend June Weekend! It’s the penultimate graduation experience. It begins on Friday afternoon with the Awards Convocation for the graduating class. Saturday features the change of command ceremony, followed by the obligatory dip in the pool. There ’ s a barbecue for parents in the afternoon and the formal ball in the evening. Sunday finds many midshipmen and parents at the baccalaureate service, and at more social gatherings. And Monday-well, that’s graduation day! Splashdown!

A week or so later, the bell in front of Wiley Hall peals with joyful sound as first classmen celebrate their success in the exam. Later they troop up to the Superintendent’s office where they participate in a relatively new Kings Point tradition, helping themselves to a silver dollar in the Admiral’s fish bowl.

From the stress of plebe indoctrination and the joy of Acceptance Day, through the challenge and fun of sea year, to the crowning moment of commencement, the Class of 1998 has made it. While at Kings Point, they made lifelong friends, shared experiences both good and bad, and gained the knowledge to be successful in their professions.

The boats sailed were the original 25 years old Shields donated by Cornelius Shields himself. The winning boat was skippered by Bill Hardesty and crewed by Kenney Wolfe and Eric Metz. The guys sailed a consistent race never round- ing a mark first. With little wind, as viewed in the pictures, it was tough for most of the teams to stay focused. It must have been good scenery that steered people astray. From loosing Eric a couple times, to bikinis on the beach, and a hot tub surrounded with cold beverages, this event was a complete success. Thank you everyone that made this event possible especially the K.P. Sailing Team, ourCalifomia host, the Polovina family. Coach Doug Clark, Cdr.

MA Marinfr 11 S Merchant Marine Academy Kings Point. New York 11024 Dear Midshipman Slater, As you know, late last year I advised the USMMA Foundation that we were interested in replacing our flagship, the M V Mariner. As a result, they began to advertise the vessel, and to contact brokers in the hopes of finding a suitable replacement. In recent weeks, the vessel was shown to half a dozen possible buyers. Last week, the Foundation received a cash offer for the boat which they accepted, with my concurrence. Tbt ofTcr is subject to the vessel passing survey (which I am confident she will do), and the delivery of the vessel to Newport. The closing will be within the coming weeks Ibis was not an easy decision.

Over the eight years that we have owned her. wc have spent a considerable sum on maintenance and repair. At this point in her life, she needs capital improvements and systems maintenance that is far beyond our resources. As a result, wc are best served by reverting the vessel back to the Foundation, and seeking a newer vessel.

Combining the efforts of a strong senior class and coaches Doug Clark and John Myrdal, the team was able to accomplish feats that were never thought possible. The team’s wide variety of personalities and backgrounds, both social and competi- tive, has really contributed to the positive atmosphere found at the waterfront. This close knit group of people trained, traveled, and lived together and developed friendships that will last forever. Every member of the team, whether traveling or not. helped build the foundation needed to achieve victory. The spring season brought the team to Dinghy National Championships which were held at Tulane, New Orleans. Bill Hardesty. Kenneth Wolfe, Jennifer Bechtel. James Phyfe, Dustin Lemke, and Alan Terhune completed the three-day event in a strong second, winning the Oxford University Trophy. Bill Hardesty earned his fifth All American Title as well as being voted the College Sailor of the Year. Kenneth Wolfe and James Phyfe also were named All American and All Start Crew, respectively. Hardesty also won the Stedman Trophy and Aimee Graham won the Julia A. Berke Trophy for their outstanding athletic performances throughout their careers at the Academy. 1.

With three promising fourth class boats which “kicked butt” in the fall season and did well this spring, they surpassed expectations of everybody. The Big Guys” had a good fall season, but downsized to a pair for the spring season; the Galloway Mund double survived the fall season and Ryan switched to a light weight four which had a challenging spring season and allowed the other half of the double to survive. There are several very promising underclass boats which should do extremely well next year as the varsity four and the j.v. four. Despite a rainy season, the team performed well at every race and performed with their whole heart and aching soul. The novice rowers showed dedication by show- J ing up to each practice and giving their all. ' Each practice and every race served as a learning experience to even the senior crew members. While the other crew teams proved to be a challenge this year, those same teams ? will come to know that we’ll be passing them I on the water and taking home our champion- I ship teams. We will miss the outgoing | seniors, but the crew team will carry on and keep rowing toward the future. - Coach Mund, Ryan Galloway 1. Kings Point Crew Team 2.

The demolition of Cressy 'as the final step in the construction program for the Yocum Sailing Center, a process which physically began in October 1992. but which had its roots way back in 1965. When the Academy’s first sailing master. Captain Joe Prosser, arrived at the Academy that year, he immediately saw the potential for Kings Point to grow into a national sailing powerhouse. During his twenty -one year tenure, he explored several options of erecting a sailing center at USMMA. Ideas ranged from adding two more stories to Zrowninshield Pier, to a S3.5 million, four-story renovation of what is now Prosser Boat House. Each of these alternatives was rejected due to a lack of funds, as well as other oressing needs on campus. Regrettably, when Prosser dies in 1986. his dream was not yet realized. It wasn't until the late 1980’s that Prosser's successor, Captain Chris McMahon, was able to successfully campaign for a fully-functional sailing center, to consolidate he various offices, maintenance sheds and storage facilities scattered around campus, and support the Academy's championship programs. The initial plan was to demolish iressy and erect a new structure in its place. However, geological studies found that the Mariner's Chapel, erected in 1961. was actually pushing Cressy into the sea. The site was ultimately found unstable, and construction shifted to the current location. Cressy Building was erected in 1942, as one of the first structures in the new' Academy’s construction program. The building w'as designed as a boat maintenance shed. � maintain the original fleet of twenty monomoys and other craft. Cressy remained in service for fifty-five years, and was the longest-serving all-wood structure at the Academy. Although the roof of O'HaraHall’s wood, the remainderof that building is masonry construction.) Overthat period, thousands of sailors used Cressy as their base of operations. Hundreds of events were sailed there, including the 1977 and 1987 National Co-Ed Sailing Championships — each won by Kings Point. Prior to demolition, nearly all of the cabinets, tools, and workbenches from Cressy were relocated to the new Sailing Center. Cressy Pier itself was substantially refurbished and will be used as a storage site and staging area for the Academy ’ s fleet of one-designs. Cressy Building had been named for Captain Josiah Cressy, Master of the greatest clipper ship of all time, the FLYING CLOUD. IN 1851. Cressy sailed the FLYING CLOUD on a record passage of 89 days, 21 hours from New York to San Francisco, a record which I stood for over 140 years! Thankfully, Cressy Pier remains, so future ge ifplebes will be reminded of Cress Color Guad As usual, the color guard was kept busy this year. The season began with the Scottish Games breaking in a new Color guard. The team went on to present colors for the Cancer Society Ball, Maritime Port Council Dinner, and Naval Intelligence Dinner, competing in the annual competi- tion held at Cornell University, and making regular appearance s at the New Y ork Knicks basketball games as well as the NBA All Star Game. The Color Guard also managed to fit in some travel to Washington, DC for the FAA’s annual awards ceremony and enjoyed the warm sun and a trip to Disneyland while traveling with the Kings Point football and soccer teams. And of course we can not forget the numerous Kings Point Parades! Commanded by Midn. Matthew Ingerson during the first rotation and Midn. George Beck during the second rotation, the color guard lived up to its motto of “Adapt, Ad-lib, and Overcome.” Special thanks should go out to GSGT Gibbons, USMC and Capt. Dogonniuck, USMC for helping out when needed and getting the team locker renovated. Both Color Guard Commanders would like to recognize thededicationofthefollowingmidshipmen:Trey Howerton, Mike Rodriguez and Hosh Markley, Stephanie Mohundro and Rich Spevak, and a special thanks to our great plebes: Devin Blowes, Stuart Cooley, Brian Freshwater, Andrew Glassing, Jim Ianitelli, Darla Jacobs, Justin Jomoto, John Kim, Alicia Mohundro, Andrew Scalese, and Chris Schlietwiler.

The result is in you hands, reader. Under the co-editorship of Jason Ball and Chris Dowd, the yearbook developed from an abstract theme, “Engineering a Better Future,” into atangible record of the 1997-98 academic year. A trip to the Herff Jones production facility in Gettysburg, PA, where the yearbook is printed, gave the staff an understanding of just how a yearbook is made. The seniors who served as section editors, the underclassmen who provided so many photos, and the plebes who proved to be computer whizzes, all learned that producing MIDSHIPS takes hard work and dedication. The yearbook staff hopes you enjoy its efforts! 154 (Left) “That's pretty sharp. Coeditors Jason Ball and Chris Dowd get up close and personal with a paper cutter at the yearbook printing plant.

Michelle. Jessica Brandy too James T. Flannery III Dear Jamie. We are extremely proud of the many fine accomplish- ments you have attained in your young life. Your graduation from the USMM A is the culmination of many years of dedication and hard work. You are an inspiration to all who know you, especially your family. Love, Mom, Dad, Jennifer Stephen An open letter to our son. Eric P. Friend Dear Eric, It’s hard to believe how quickly the years have passed. We want you to know that the joy you have added to our lives is immeasurable. Having watched you go from infancy through all the stages of chi ldhood afforded us memories richer than you can imagine. It is impossible to put into words the pride we feel in your accomplishments, in how you set goals early in life and maintain your focus to achieve them. Y ou eagerly accepted the challenge of life at the UNITED ST ATES MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY and met the challenge head on. When the storms of life got a bit rough there, you maintained your faith and rode them out with a maturity beyond your years. Now, Son, as you face graduation and a brand new phase of you life, never doubt that God will continue to direct you as He has in the past. Know also that we will be here for you if you need us but we realize that this is a time for “letting go”. Are we ready? Probably not, but you have earned the right to full-fledged adulthood and we must take our place on the sidelines. You have been life’s riches blessing to us and while in our hearts you will always be that bright-eyed, dark-haired little guy we called “Son” you’ve earned the freedom to fly and be the man that you’ve become. Its hard to believe how the years have flown. How you've gone from infant to young man. full grown. And as we look back on the years that have passed We know only one thing.....They have slipped by to fast. Where is that infant with his bright-eyed, toothless smile? It seems we had him for such a short while Before he became a young boy with great plans For what he would do when he was a man Now all those plans are nearly complete You'll have soon reached your goal and the victory is sweet. But never stop dreaming: keep focusing high For dreams are attainable when you reach for the sky. GOD HAS PROMISED YOU FAVOR IN HIGH PLACES. We will not be surprised when you arrive. We love you very much. Mom and Dad ACROSS fS It A fERS 409 Brian Patrick Green Congratulations An Irish toast from Mom, Dad and Tim. May you be poor in misfortunes, Rich in blessings.

In 1939, we were founded by Commander Oliver Colvin, USN. Our mission: eliminate costly deterioration of cargo which was caused by moisture condensing in holds. If you have a history of moisture problems, you should know Cargocaire history. After World War II, Cargocaire began using dehumidified air to preserve surplus naval ships and equip- ment. This successful program was thoroughly tested, when many of these mothballed ships were reactivated and used to bring supplies to Korea. In the 1950’s andl960’s, ships were again protected long-term by Cargocaire dehumidifiers, and again the results were outstanding. One example is the Battleship Iowa, which was recommissioned in record time—and below budget—because there was simply no measurable corrosion of its weapon systems. Records show that after 15 years of dry air protection, even the ship’s brass bell did not need polishing. Today, every active US nuclear submarine has an onboard Cargocaire dehumidifier. Most other US combatant vessels are protected by our equipment. The US Army protects equipment and ammunition stored in prepositioning ships stationed around the world. Blasting and coating operations in shipyards continue without regard to humid outside weather. Marine drill rig operators keep equipment dry inside submerged caissons. And in port, storage areas are kept moisture-free by Cargocaire. If you have any of these or other moisture related problems, call Cargocaire today. Odds are we’ve solved it in the past. If not, we’ll be pleased to assist you with finding a new dry air solution. That’s why we’ve been making marine history for the past half century!
