f atural c cience an d Walk lemu tics MR. LEWIS Heave Ho, me hearties, it ' ll pop right out of the hat! There is indeed work to be done for there is a crying need for the graduate from this division. Every day there arises a new need for scientists. The division of Natural Science and Mathematics is doing a fine job of mee ' ing this need under the direction of Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis is an instructor of Mathematics. The math department starts with Basic Arithmetic and proceeds through Integral Calculus. This diversity is designed to meet many requirements of various majors. The life sciences embrace subjects from A to Z. One can take courses in Anatomy to Zoology with Bacteriology, Botany, Physiology or a survey course in Life Science in between. Dr. Allen instructs most of these subjects. Mr. Black guides the seaman through many different courses. He can be found teaching Physical Science, Chemistry Lab., or Life Science Lab. The Physics classes are handled by Mr. Love. Physics is very important in rounding out the apprentice ' s curriculum and increasing his knowledge in magnetic and sound waves. Another diversified prof is Mr. Peterson, who instructs in Geology, Sur- veying and Mathematics. Mr. Wylie, new to the ship ' s routines, instructs the various chem. classes. These classes range from Elementary Chemistry through Organic and Quan- titative Chemistry. The Natural Science and Mathematics Division is an important medium for increasing practical and technical knowledge. DR. ALLEN MR. PETERSON MR. LOVE MR. WYLIE MR. JENSON

Social c cience Learning about the subject most frequently studied, Man, falls largely into the hands of the Social Science Division. A crew cannot function that does not understand its components and what it has accumulated upon gaining knowledge of said history. Our captain of this vessel in the fleet, Dr. Giles Brown, steered his course through European and American history study groups and graced many a class period with personal accounts and an abundance of visual evidences of ports other than our own. Learning the problems encountered in living with other people both here and abroad, Mr. Ted Greisser ' s classes in sociology brought the shipmates closer to their possible solutions. Even with this, there was wide margin for a Snafu. To alleviate such a possibility, the Psychology Department offered courses under Officers Dr. James Thornton, Mr. Don Bridgman, Dr. Norman Watson, Mrs. Marie Howes, Mr. Fred Ruber, Miss Doris Raef, and Mr. Joe Kroll, and taught us such intangibles as emotions, which out at sea can become very important. Mr. Miles Eaton conducted the seamen through tours of duty in classes dealing with government — its functions, obstacles, and mechanics. To further capture the interest and enthusiasm, clubs were available on board to satisfy the needs of an international feeling among different fleets. DR. BROWN MR. GRIESSER MR. EATON

I kudicut C ducati ucauon MR. PICKENS The air-sea rescue was demonstrated through the excellent Physical Education Department here on board. Whether on a cruise or merely boating, it planned activities for the sea- men ' s full capacity. It also gave the seamen time away from the old grind and taught cooperation and sportsmanship. Captains under whom the crew was taught were Mr. Pickens, Mr. Rosso, and Mr. Harper. The captain for the women waves was Miss Campbell. These able officers guided the sailors through football, basketball, baseball, track, cross-country, tennis, sailing, and through the minor, but important, spring sports. Equipped with a new swim- ming pool, a whole series of activities was organized for those whose interest lay below the surface. These included the thrilling water-polo games, swim meets, diving contests and simple instruction for the beginners. For our all-weather safety and helpful advice Mrs. Buss was constantly on stand-by for the sea-sick. Checking in for the under-the-weather seamen is important for the health of the ship. MR. ROSSO •i MR. HARPER MRS. BUSS MISS CAMPBELL
