s Olsen and Breckenridge. THE YEOMEN Under the supervision of the Executive Officer, the Yeomen and Personnelmen carry out all of the Mighty Miss's admin- istrative business and correspondence. The Yo-Yo's keep an accurate file of all official letters, papers, records, and pertinent publications to ensure that our ship's administrative department is efficient and up to date. These Typewriter Titans record all iudicial proceedings and act as secretaries for all critiques, conferences, and meetings of any significance. They maintain an accurate personal history of each individual officer and crew member, and are largely responsible for each change of duty that is acquired lon the Mispillion. During replenishment operations, receive, endorse orders for, and effect the final transfers for hun- dreds of passenger personnel. Another duty is the Plan of the Day which, under direction of the Executive Officer, is pub- lished each evening to give the crew a general outline of the next day's proceedings. The life of a Yo-Yo is very hard on typewriters, coffee cups, chairs, and posteriors. .?iG-Q ff' Breckenridge, Olie , and Skinny prove that three heads are better than one in composing official letters, while Mac frightl turns to with Mike Hamner's latest on the cargo deck. - 1 ,a...4.gun..g.iws..,,.s-..-..f-.s.-.-..:,.,...-f,-H-....., . .
