his head from side to side and states one of his famous philosophical cliches like 'Nice tryl' or 'lt sure ain't!' Out on the main deck, standing by the mizzen mast, isJim Heighorst. This boy is the original Happy Joe Lucky. Ho matter what he is doing, or whom he is with or where he is, Jim cannot - he just plain cannot - keep from telling a joke or saying something so ludicrous that anyone within hearing distance has to laugh in spite of himself. Jim is about six feet tall - lanky and devoted to his manual on how to grow coor- dinated. He is the living image of Washington lrvin9'S Ichabod crane. James W. is one of the finest A.B.'s on b08fdcin this ease A.B. stands for Always...Basketballi. Whether it is a Saturday afternoon or a day before a wicked Latin test, Jim always has time for 'a few shots'. As soon as the anchor is weighed and the sails furled, while othersmend nets or spin yarns, Jim dribbles up and down the deck, shooting at baskets nailed to the fore-mast and main-mast. Jim is the only person in theworld who can drive in, trip over his own feet,fumble the ball, sink the basket and then get a free shot for a technical foul called on the fella ten feet from him. The poor boy just could not keep from laughing. Moreover, Jim's luck is prevalent in other places than on the hardwood. lfhe ever tiresof the sea,he is bound to join the F.B.l, and become a spy. Jim has pulled fast ones and wormed his way out of squeezes that would make Herb Philbrick or Houdini himself blush with admiration. However, when it comes to turning red in the face in admiration no one out-does Roland Haag. Rol has been aboard for three years now, but each suceeding year only finds him wallowing deeper and deeper in- to the abyss of cornball puns. It seems that it was the self-same hor- rible pun that started him telling more horrible puns and at the same time set him rolling on his vocabulary enrichment tangent. This is an incongruous development, to say the least. On first meeting with Roi, one is bound to hear the 'talen. It all happened during the Second World War when the Americans moved into China and took over a very large field which was to be converted into an air-strip. It seems that a bull used to inhabit the entire field: so the soldiers were forced to give him at least a part of the field, which they did. Well, one day the Japs came over and bombed the field. The bull swallowed one of the bombs. That is to say - ABOMINABLE - of course the bomb exploded that is to say - NOBLE. But on the whole Roland Haag, A.P. lattrocious punsi is a real fine shipmate. To climb the main-mast would be too hard: so just stare up to the crow's nest and gaze upon Dave Lopata, A.B. Qarrows in quiver, bow in handj. Dave spends a lot of time up in the nesteither hunting for eggs or lying in wait for an unsuspecting sea gull. Dave hasn't found any eggs yet, but his archery could bring the crew extra sea gull fries, Oh, theadmiral of the fleet confiscated the weapon on the grounds that he was a nature lover. He did not want to see the nature of his fleet change into something which resembled the 'aftern picture of custeris Last Stand. Also, when the ship's company is suddenly upset by an un- announced conglomeration of noises ranging from a police whistle to the shrieks of a blood-thirsty vampire, everyone knows that Dave is practicing to keep in shape. Besides being a junior Robin Hood, Dave attempts to imitate any sound that comes along, preferring those which belong to such beings i.e., THEM, THE THING, DRACULA and the like. These sounds are accompained by lively bodily imitations which Q
