Fifiat Wnd It lias been lett to the Cruise Book Officer to say the final word. Our task has been to chronicle by word and picture the months of this Mediterranean Cruise .... to confine within these covers a part of your life that you will long remember. And, if, in the years to come, this book recalls to mind the part you played in a crucial age; and cements the friend- ship with shipmates who made your jour- ney glad; and helps you recapture once again the magic of our Mediterranean Adventure. — ' tSi This will crown our task. It is fitting that here we pay tribute to those men who have made possible this book. Our thanks must go to Ensign Richard Hahn and Ensign Da niel Hardt, the editors of the book, whose creative talent and arduous labor are in every page; to the boys in PIO and the Chap- lain ' s Office who gave long hours in copy preparation and handling the thankless tasks of business management; to Mr. Richard Burton of the Tiffany Publishing Company for so generously giving us the benefit of his talent and vast experience in book designing; and last bin by no means least, to the men in the photo lab who endured the demands that were laid upon them and delivered the goods that make up the book. To thase, and others in lesser degree, must go all the credit for this book. Ralph W. Below
