	    In the original series Kirk and Pike are the only Captains
	of the Enterprise ever mentioned.  Pike commanded the Enterprise
	before Kirk, but no mention is ever made of his being the FIRST
	Captain.  In the animated series' THE COUNTER-CLOCK INCIDENT
	April is introduced as the first ever Captain of the Enterprise.
	The name was actually one of the ones being considered for the
	lead character when the series was being developed; THE MAKING
	OF STAR TREK mentions a time when Captain Fill-in-the-Blank was
	changing names about as often as socks.
