SHIP’S LOG — U.S.S. B.H.S. ' 48 First Year Roll call of the new crew was held Thursday, September 14, at Sea in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-four and a record enrollment of 285 was noted. The ship’s crew and officers are not yet organized but the voyage has started on a calm sea and high hopes are vested in the outcome of the next four years. Cartographers Mr. Albert Murphy and James L. Jordan have planned a favorable course for us to follow. All members of crew have ratings of seamen third class. Captain First Mate Second Mate Third Mate Helmsmen John Barranger William Goodale Thayer Anastos Arthur Hicks Miss Josephine Keaney Mr. Francis Mear Second Year In view of the stanch loyalty of the crew their ratings have at Sea been raised to seamen second class. Recreation aboard ship is being organized. Football, basketball and baseball are favorites of the crew. A committee for a Seamen’s Social was chosen and the affair was a great success. Third Year Beginning in the ninth month of the year of our Lord at Sea nineteen hundred and forty-six, all able bodied seamen received rating of seamen first class a reward for hard work and perseverance. Recreation aboard ship in the form of football has been made successful by the more rugged members of the crew. Some of these are: Seamen first class Bill Brooks, Henry Williams, Harry Hall Vic Damiano, Vernon Langeley, Jimmy Peckham, Ga Ga Ruddy. Captain John Bar- ranger, First Mate William Goodale, Third Mate Arthur Hicks. Helmsman Josephine Keanv was put ashore at Honeymoon Hill with bless- ings of captain and crew. Mr. Edward Oakman came aboard in her place. Representa- tives were chosen to select samples for the ship’s insignia in the form of a ring. Samples were voted on by the crew and a worthy design selected. The ship’s ballroom was dec- orated and made ship-shape and a dance was given to celebrate the before-mentioned advance in rating. Captain First Mate Second Mate Third Mate Helmsmen John Barranger William Goodale Thayer Anastos Louise Mariani Mr. Francis Mear Mr. Edward Oakman Fourth Year A photographer was taken aboard ship to help record faces at Sea of the crew and happenings on our trip. Results were pleasing to most everyone, and were sent to port to be printed in a ship ' s book to be distributed among officers and crew. In honor of an advance in rating from seamen first class to ensigns, which was given to a deserving crew, a banquet and a reception was held. Our destina- tion is now in sight and members of the crew are being instructed in the procedure of leaving the ship. As the anchor is being dropped regret is expressed by both officers and crew that this must be the end of our voyage together. As we disembarked we were presented with a charter which entitles us to passage on the good ship “Future.” {28
