Fish Drill Team Advisors Hope For Another Good Year
The Fish Drill Team — A&M‘s
famous marching unit made up
entirely of freshmen — enters
its 18th year this fall with a new
crop of freshmen.
After sweeping the Louisiana
State University and Texas A&M
drill meets last spring, team spon
sors are optimistic about groom
ing another winning unit.
Since 1947 the freshman Class
has been represented by its own
fancy drill team, led by its own
elected officers. Members are
picked on the basis of a competi
tive drill and satisfactory aca
demic progress. Ribbons are pre
sented the team members at the
end of the year.
Upperclassmen who formerly
served on the Fish Drill Team
serve as coaches and advisors for
the freshmen.
Notice of tryouts will be given
soon.

The Texas Maritime Academy
was established Feb. 24, 1962 by
the Board of Directors of the
Texas A&M University System,
by authority of Acts of the 56th
Legislature, Regular Session 1959.
The 57th Legislature of 1961,
appropriated funds for starting
operations and for the develop
ment of the Texas Maritime
Academy campus at Galveston.
An agreement between the Gover
nor of the State of Texas and the
Maritime Administrator, Depart
ment of Commerce, has been ex
ecuted.
This agreement, pursuant to
the federal Maritime Academy
Act of 1958, commits the federal
government to provide a suitable
training ship, $75,000 annual
funds matching state appropria-
toins, adequate funds for the
annual overhaul of the training
ship, and a subsistence grant of
$50 per month to each student.
The state on its own part
agrees to provide adequate facili
ties and faculty necessary to con
duct a course of training for
future officers of the United
States Merchant Marine.
The Texas Maritime Academy
offers young men the oppor
tunity to continue formal educa
tion and, at the same time, to
prepare to become licensed ship’s
officers in the Merchant Marine.
Upon completion of the first
semester, the cadet selects one of
two areas of specialization: Ma
rine Engineering or Marine
Transportation. Thereafter he’s
known as an Engineer Cadet or
as a Deck Cadet.
Upon successful completion of
the course of study, three ocean
training cruises, and upon pass
ing the United States Coast
Guard license examination for a
Third Mate or Third Assistant
Engineer, a graduate receives a
Bachelor of Science Degree in
Marine Transportation or in Ma
rine Engineering.
Upon graduation the cadet who
has the required qualifications
may apply for a commission as
Ensign, United States Naval Re
serve.
The first school year consists
of nine months and the remaining
three school years consist of 11
months of instruction and train
ing. The year is divided into
two academic semesters and one
ocean training cruise. Each sea
training period is a required, staff
supervised, educational term in
tended to insure necessary opera
tional training periods and exper
ience for all cadets.
During the three required op
erational training periods com
pleted, the cadet progresses from
the apprentice stage through the
artificer level to the junior officer
category. In addition to practical
experience in ship operations,
safety at sea is continuously em
phasized and boat drills are con
ducted in preparation for the
“lifeboatmen” examination.
The operational training period
includes visits to four to six for
eign ports. Different ports are
selected each year to provide ca
dets with a wide range of experi
ence. Ample liberty time is pro
vided in each port, affording
cadets the opportunity to visit
places of cultural and historic
as well as maritime importance.
The Maritime Academy campus
is located in Galveston, and forms
part of the A&M Marine Labora
tory in spacious grounds of the
former Fort Crocket on the
shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
The Academy building, a three
story, concrete structure, provides
messing and living spaces as well
as classrooms and administrative
offices. These accommodations
are very modern and all spaces
are air-conditioned.
Galveston’s concrete piers and
warehouses provide berthing ac
commodations for 40 modern
ships. A large shipyard is nearby.
These shipyard facilities will help
serve as a laboratory for the
students. In addition, NS Savan
nah, the first atomic powered
merchant ship in the world, is to
be regularly serviced in Galves
ton. Galveston promises to be
come an important center for
commercial nuclear propulsion.
During their freshman year,
Cadets participate in the Corps
of Cadets at Texas A&M. While
on the A&M campus the cadets
will wear the Corps uniform, with
a special designed Maritime Aca
demy patch on the shoulder.
Starting with their first train
ing cruise, the cadets will turn in
the Corps of Cadet uniforms and
will shift to midshipman type uni
forms of dress blues, whites, and
khaki.
The primary aim of the Aca
demy is to prepare young men for
leadership at sea, eventually as
master and chief engineers.
