' .... , The eyes and ears of the ship ! ! C C with its RadcH ' , plus the visual signal lookouts all provide the all importer eyes of our ship to carry out its assigned mission. Radii 1 and 2 provide us with our ears handling all types o messages which have included the following .- TERRY JC 7 LBS. 9 OZ. BORN 20 SEP. MOTHER AND DAUGHTE, FINE. When we are at sea, the Radio Gang copies th Press, thus providing us with our morning paper. Strange o it may seem, the radio section carries on one of the mos loved or the most griped at functions on the ship. Yoi guessed it, the Post Office ! The Skivvie-Wavers of the K. W. stand alert visua- watches on the Signal Bridge for twenty-tour hours of every- day, including holiday routine. Yes, these men are our Signas Men of O-S Division. R H. C. BOUTTE OPERATIONS DEPT. HEAD Aerology or Wea ' her-Guessers as these boys are more popularly known by, is the Navy term for Meteorology. They have our deepest sympathies ! Bess, Elaine, Faye, Inez, Judy, Kit and Lola all gave Aerology trouble. If you haven ' t already guessed, these ladies ore Typoons. We give our Thanks to the over-worked and under- paid bunch who hibernate in the photo-Lab. They are never heard, seldom seen, but always working though seldom do they get due credit. If for no other reason, the Photogs have, with the help of our good Chaplain, earned their keep by their fme judicious and inconceivable work that went into the book you are now holding. To sum up, the Operations Department contains a great bunch of Operators all working together to make our ship function well and our cruise successful. ACTING DEPT. HEAD
