Beattie. J. E. Vaughn Since more than half the complement was scheduled to transfer to their next phase of navy training in July, 1945, the idea of creating a book of memoirs of navy life at A. M. was concocted with but five remaining in the semester. A staff of willing workers was chosen to get the book ready for distribution as soon as possible. The problems encountered were met successfully and the coveted goal was able to be reached. Those who do not understand the complications arising from obstacles such as lack of time and war-time printing and engraving, remember that the Log'' is not exactly as we. the staff, would have desired, but we did the best with what we had.
