For plebes, there are new ways of doing things to learn, a uniform to wear, and the constant pressures of the classroom and the regiment with which to deal. But there is also time and opportunity for some plebe fun, --------------------- as these photo amply indicate. (Right) VADMJoseph Stewart, the Superintendent, enjoys a night out with the Class of 2010 at Shea Stadium. (Above) Yikes! A scan-moment at the CFC Plebe Retreat. Oris it take- out Delano lunch? (Right) Don’t try this at home. Two 2010 class members will attempt to scale a wood wall while blindfolded, an exercise at the CFC Plebe Retreat. 34 w iU Let’s go, Mets! Members of the Class of 2010 enjoy a Mets game at Shea Stadium in August 2006. (Above) A group of plebes is involved in one of their many Spirit Missions -- this one to commemorate the sad events of 9-11. 35 Living at Kings Point There are no commuter students at Kings Point! Everyone lives in the dormatory buildings. Meals in Delano Hall are shared, as are the joys and frustrations of communal living. Here is a glimpse of some of the activities that fill up a ___________________ midshipman’s day. (Right) Drill Instructor Katharine Woods makes sure that her plebes are lined up staright and looking sharp.

(Above) And here they are, the 2007 Top Bridge Watchstanding Team (left to right): Elizabeth Mock, Vincent Magers, John McCarthy andTyletStutin. (Above) The annual Festival of Lights service in Mariners Chapel is always an appropriate way to start the holiday season. Dancing the Night Away! Kings Point is not “all work, no play.” There are numerous social events throughout the academic year — mixers and off- campus events like the “200 Nights” Party. But perhaps the most anticipated events are the formal gatherings like Ring Dance, the Christmas Ball and the Graduation Ball. It’s great to see the members of the Regiment all dressed up, looking sharp and having a good time! (Right) Having a really good time at the Christmas Ball! They call this a “dip,” right? (Above) Don’t even ask! These happy guys are part of the entertainment at the Christmas Ball. (Right) June Ball, 2007: “Hey, who’s supposed to lead? You or me?” 38 (Above) Having exchanged their Service Dress Blues for more colorful attire, these two ladies may be the belles of the Christmas Ball. (Above) Everyone’s on the dance floor and having a good time at the 2007 June Ball. 39 Time to Dine! Like all college students, USMMA midshipmen spend lots of time in the dining hall. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch in Delano — week after week as the academic year progresses. But every so often there’s a special dinner that breaks the monotony — Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners, the Battle Standard Dinner, the Lanier Lecture Dinners. Something to look forward to! (Right) Regimental Commander Eric Rohan presents a gift to the featured speaker at the 2007 Battle Standard Dinner, Dr. Francis Harvey, who served as the 19th Secretary of the Army. (Above) Midshipmen Lauren Fulton (left) and Elizabeth Stroud discuss life at the Academy with a guest at the 2007 Battle Standard Dinner.

(Above) The smoking lamp has been lit at the Christmas Dinner and these guys have broken out their stogies. 41 June Weekend June is a special month at the U . S. Merchant Marine Academy. The weather turns warm, most seniors are relaxing after passing the license exam, and a few seniors are studying hard to pass the re-takes. Thoughts turn to graduation and careers. Then June Weekend arrives, the prelude to Commencement Day. The weekend includes a Change-of-Command ceremony, a senior dash to the pool, a fun boatride and the Baccalaureate sendee in the Mariners Chapel. It’s a great finish to four years at Kings Point! (Right) Laura Anderson is all wet — but so are all her classmates! (Above) Get out of the way! Here comes the Class of2007! (Right) A moment of joy! And ringing that bell is hard work. 42 I' (Above) Everyone dives with a different style. Some grads don’t like water up the nose! 43 Graduation ‘07 Graduation at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy is D-Day, the finale, the grand conclusion, the END! The graduates patiently sit on Tomb Field, politely applauding the many speeches, dutifully ascending the stage to receive their diplomas and licences, but really waiting for just one thing -- covers airborne!

Peters. 45 The Lighter Side The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy can be a tough environment, filled with plenty of academic, regimental and athletic stress. But the members of the Regiment know how to have fun. It helps to relieve the pressure. So here are a few “out-take” photos that show that midshipman life has a lighter side! (Right) Don’t mess with Alicia Nix. She’s down and dirtv! (Above) Believe it or not, these ladies have been preparing for a Formal Inspection. (Right) Midshipman Jacob Zimmerman has a special talent.

Robert Frost 409 Justin Joseph Briscoe We know the past 4 years at Kings Point have been demanding and challenging, but you hung in there and YOU MADE IT! Here are a few things to remember as you venture into new waters: • You’re only limited when you fail to try. • The difference between a successful person and others is neither a lack of strength nor a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. • Never let life’s challenges diminish your dreams, destroy your hopes, or keep you from being you. • Character, honesty, and integrity define a man. • Never compromise your principles. • Lead by example. • And last but not least, we’re always here for you. May God continue to watch over you and guide you. We are so proud of you. Love, Mom, Dad, Adam, Stephanie, Phillip, and Ally Jesse Bowser In everyone’s life there are moments of pride that are remembered forever. This is just one of those moments you have given to us. Your Kings Point days have included both great memories and challenging t obstacles, from the first day of dropping you off for indoc, sailing to all k parts of the world, rebuilding your shoulder from major surgery so you could continue to swim, attending US Marine Corps Officer Candidate School, flight internship at Pax River Naval Air Station, and now your graduation from the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Your personal inner strength to drive ahead and conquerthese obstacles has been the foundation of your many accomplishments at Kings Point. One of your favorite childhood books comes to mind that best describes your determination to overcome the challenges you’ve encountered from that first day to your graduation from Kings Point: ‘I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.I KNOW I CAN!” May God Bless you and grant you a bright and happy future.
