W A Downstairs maids I Paint? What paint? l A Coffee break First Division has the dubious honor of be- ing the first of everything . . . first to provide a working party . . . first to draw paint for the sides . , . first to miss a target during a shoot! Ah well, with YEAGER, the father of the first , and RYDER, the savviest SN in the Navy, the division has relatively few catastrophes. Why, the last one we had was all of a month ago when MEEKS, ACKER, and KECK trim- med up the waterline for Navy Day. The one before that was ALTIERE Qshort-timerj and GOUPIL fthe reservejiraising the waterline in GTMO under the eyes of ulcers FOOTE. Man, that waterline sure was a persistent rascal, just ask GAITHER . . . yes, suh! Somehow THOMPSON, BRUCE, and FEATHERSTON managed to avoid the joyful pastime of the tropics , for the first two were mess-cooking and the latter was hiding in the peacoat locker . . . FUOCO found himself a few more passage- ways to clean, while TAPLEY passed up paint for the waterline from his mortar and pestle in the paint locker . . . what a sense of color . . . haze grey. DUNCAN was busy all this time making hangman's knots for the day he could hang GUS,' from the yardarm, and THOMP- SON was muttering something about something as he climbed over the gig. Of course, we shouldn't overlook the over- seers of these fair, young lads . . . LANDSVERK reminiscing of those 5 days with his relatives in Scandaniva . . . XVRIGHT slowing down the ship with those two duty lifeboats he calls ears . . . and SHANDONAY wondering if liberty would be better if he transferred to R division . . . Who was doing all the work, you ask?- why, MacDONALD, the little corporal , of course, and maybe a few of the gunners. Those gunners have to be sharp up forward, right under the eyes of the bridge . . . and what better men to have than NELSON, the great stone face , gummy HILL, the only gum- mer's mate in the Navy after a weekend in the Caribbean, and reliable GOWINS, SCHUER- MAN and DAVIS missed a few sleeves on 31 mainly because their thoughts were wandering to Paris liberty after' a few games of JONES. Envoys, in the form of SIDELL, BARTHOLO- MEW, and STARANOWICZ, were dispatched to the nether regions to bring the true faith- and gun orders - to Mt. 52. Last, but not least, in this big, happy family of ours is poppa COUR who has the solution to all our problems . . . put up bleachers in place of 51 and chrome-plate the hull . . . ! 1 !
