The trousers, tight round the hips, and thence hanging long and loose round the feet, a superabundance of checked shirt, a low-crowned, well varnished black hat, worn on the back of the head, with half a fathom of black ribbon hanging over the left eye, and a peculiar tie to the black silk neckerchief, with sundry other minutia, are signs, the want of which betray the beginner, at once. Besides the points in my dress which were out of the way, doubtless my complexion and hands were enough to distinguish me from the regular salt, who, with a sunburnt cheek, wide step, and rolling gait, swings his bronzed and toughened hands athwartships, half open, as though just ready to grasp a rope. - Two Years Before the Mast Everybody is happy when they are drinking free beverages!

Last September, Carol Guest (affectionately known to the students as “MOM Guest”) brought some home made cookies and milk to Land Hall and extended an open invitation to any student to drop by and relax. As with all good things, word got around campus about the heavenly haven that she had created and named “Cookie Cafe.

Sometimes those who love her say bad things of her but they are always said as though she were a woman. Some of the younger fishermen, those who used buoys as floats for their lines and had motorboats, bought when the shark livers had brought much money, spoke of her as el mar, which is masculine. They spoke of her as a contestant or a place or even an enemy. But the old man always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favors, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them. The moon affects her as it does a woman, he thought. - The Old Man and the Sea Section completed by: Cassandra Lovitt JL J 51 King af The tytrd Everett Smith, '10, poses at the gate of the shipyard. “The [California] route is notable, Midshipman Smith explains, “because a great amount of cargo comes in and out of San Pedro (Port of LA Long Beach) and Oakland.

In certain instances they would flank, or, like a body-guard quite surround some superior figure of their own class, moving along with them like Aldebaran among the lesser lights of his constellation. That signal object was the “Handsome Sailor” of the less prosaic time alike of the military and merchant navies.

That captain was Ahab. And then it was, that suddenly sweeping his sickle-shaped lower jaw beneath him, Moby Dick had reaped away Ahab's leg, as a mower a blade of grass in the field. Small reason was there to doubt then, that ever since that almost fatal encounter, Ahab had cherished a wild vindictiveness against the whale, all the more fell for that in his frantic morbidness he at last came to identify with him, not only all his bodily woes, but all his intellectual and spiritual exasperations. - Moby Dick Section completed by: Ryan Evans and Marie Ebers 83 Left: Ben Reavis is climbing on top of the mast.

This Club was not invented but rather recognized as a necessity at many athletic functions. They do nothing more than offer amusement and distraction from the daily grind of Midshipman life. The KP Spirit brigade makes the unfun, fun, the mandatory, bearable, and the ridiculously boring, hilarious and entertaining. The Spirit Brigade goes by a few other names like Idiot Squad and Shirtless Brigade. The group is almost always made up of Plebes and does a better job then any cheerleaders could ever do.

The Nautilus was flying northward at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, now on the surface, and now thirty feet below it. On taking the bearings by the chart, I saw that we were passing the mouth of the Manche, and that our course was hurrying us towards the northern seas at a frightful speed. That night we had crossed two hundred leagues of the Atlantic. The shadows fell, and the sea was covered with darkness until the rising of the moon. I went to my room, but could not sleep. I was troubled with dreadful nightmare. The horrible scene of destruction was continually before my eyes. From that day, who could tell into what part of the North Atlantic basin the Nautilus would take us? - SO,OOO Leagues Under the Sea First Rotation Officers (not in picture order): Vincent RC, Sheatzley RX, Inouye ROPS.

Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me. not in her. And just at that moment, when someone at my side says she is gone, there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout - There she comes! That is what dying is. y w An horizon and just the limit of our sight. Lift us up O Lord, that we may see further. -Bishop Brent Marisa Sanchez Right lads, now, I know there's not a faint heart among you, and I know you're as anxious as I am to get into close action. But we must bring them right up beside us before we spring this trap. That will test our nerve, and discipline will count just as much as courage. The Acheron is a tough nut to crack ... more than twice our guns, more than twice our numbers, and they will sell their lives dearly. Topmen, your handling of the sheets to be lubberly and un-Navy like. Until the signal calls, you're to spill the wind from our sails, this will bring us almost to a complete stop. You'll fire for her mainmast. Much will depend on your accuracy ... however... even crippled, she will still be dangerous, like a wounded beast. They'll try and even the odds for us before we board.

Strengtl 345 God saw how great wickedness had become and decided to wipe mankind from the face of the earth. However, one righteous man among all the people of that time, Noah, found favor in God’s eyes. With very specific instructions, God told Noah to build an ark for him and his family in preparation for a catastrophic flood that would destroy every living thing on earth. God also instructed Noah to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, along with every kind of food to be stored as food for the animals and his family while on the ark. Noah obeyed everything God commanded him to do. After they entered the ark, rain fell on the earth for a period of forty days and nights. The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days, and every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out. - Genesis 6:1 -9:17 Section completed by: Arianna Ebers 347 Baby Pictures of the Class of BO 10 Q ° The following pages contain baby portraits submitted by the seniors.

The captain had thrust his head and shoulders out of the pilot-house, and was staring intently into the fog as though by sheer force of will he could penetrate it. His face was anxious, as was the face of my companion, who had stumped over to the rail and was gazing with a like intentness in the direction of the invisible danger. Then everything happened, and with inconceivable rapidity. The fog seemed to break away as though split by a wedge, and the bow of a steamboat emerged, trailing fog-wreaths on either side like seaweed on the snout of Leviathan.

Nicole's Message: I just wanted to thank all of my friends at Kings Point, especially Marie, my awesome roommate in senior year. We made it through the good, the bad, and the drama. Now we are all going our separate ways and starting our new careers. I hope that everyone stays in touch with the people that mattered most to them during their time at Kings Point. We have become a mini-family, and family is something that you should be able to count on. Try to help out others, as you can, along the way. I will miss you guys (or ya'll - when I've been drinking and suddenly speak very Southern)! Heartbreaker out.

It is hard to believe that just four years ago I was a plebe putting together the Waterfront pages for my then-editor Laura Anderson. I am so happy to be able to present my fellow classmates with this yearbook so that they too may cherish all the fond and not-so-fond memories of Kings Point. A lot of sweat and tears went into a I putting all of this together, but I couldn't have done it alone. Foremost I would like to thank my co-editor, Nicole Soto; she was a wonderful roommate, partner in yearbook crime, and steadfast friend. I would also like to thank the Midships staff for all the hard work they have put in, especially Gina 1 Gottschalk, Ian Urbas, Brendan Meyers, Cassandra Lovitt, and Daniel Dunn. Even though we were such a small staff this year, we put together some pretty amazing stuff. The r biggest thanks goes to Mr. Martin Skrocki, without whom none of this would have been possible. He always goes , beyond what is expected to ensure that each class has a yearbook that they can be proud of. Now go check out the rest of the book! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed I working on it.
