WE REVIEWED EVERY page of each Trick\u2019s End<\/em> yearbook to select some of the most noteworthy images for this special section of Mariner<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The breadth of this experience summoned two conclusions: from 1941 to the present, the scope of learning at MMA has been one of adaptation and innovation, constant changes to keep pace with the needs of the maritime and related industries, and yet many traditions and student experiences transcend the years. The regiment on parade is as impressive today as it was 78 years ago, and being a MUG has always presented rigorous challenges.<\/p>\n

Also the same is the arduous work required by the editors to bring each Trick\u2019s End<\/em> to life. \u201cSpell check, patience, and a good amount of coffee,\u201d recalls Cristin Wright \u201918, who edited the 2018 edition. \u201cIt took a lot of planning with campus clubs, faculty, staff, athletics teams, and the regiment to schedule times where yearbook members were able to take group photos. The formatting and editing process was time-consuming, but very rewarding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope when people look back at the yearbook, they will see the photos from Navy Ball, Ring Dance, Ship Jump, and Cruise and remember the friendships they gained along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rear Admiral Warren C. Hamm Jr. \u201949 was the editor of his class\u2019s Trick\u2019s End<\/em>, and shared a similar goal. \u201cWe wanted to come up with a publication that would be of value in the future so that we could all look back, remember the times, and see the positive side of Maine Maritime.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe carefully wrote the [student] bios to reflect the real thing, but not to say anything that would hurt someone\u2019s feelings or one\u2019s children\u2019s or grandchildren\u2019s feelings in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud that those little bios truly positively reflected the individuals. And then, on the dialogues on the cruises, the good and the bad were mentioned, and I think that brings back excellent memories. It makes you feel good about what you did for those years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The photographs featured show Maine Maritime as viewed by students, often with pride, always with a mix of humor and honesty that will spark personal memories for alumni.<\/p>\n
