And every once in a while, the wrath of Kllililfli Cain shook us. Not to be overlooked are the problems presented by our sweet-scented compartment which we share with a few others. The fevered search for drifting cigarette butts and gear is endless. When everything is finally considered and all the little problems are diminished to their proper sig- nificance, we can make a more accurate observation of T Division. We are a small division with a big job, for we are responsible for the maintenance of all electronic equipment on boardg a job which most of us like in spite of its size. 05wAx..b!

Liberty on the Yokosu- ka-Sasebo circuit was at first wild and woolly, but a little later. as each man bet-anne a local expert things became a little more organized and a little less expensive. Babysan dethroned Marilyn Monroe. With the first divisional picnic the wealth of ath- fetic talent of the L Division came to light. Dallas Jowled seven straight strikes but it took him a can of beer between each frame to do it. Underwood. bowling for the first time tso he saidt sent the old pros down to defeat. while a hastily recruited bas- ketball squad out-shot tif not out-scoredj all comers. This rough talent was later refined into a first-rate divisional basketball team under the able hand df Utd Man Vlfatchinski-a team which held no mean spot in the final standings. As winter came on, the men up in the 011 level, who had formerly bragged that they were just a little closer to heaven than the rest of the ship, began to yearn lor a little of hell's fires when the winds of the Korean Straits blasted their perch. One gullible signalnian, upon seeing an L Division man waddling down from a lookout watch all Wrapped up in his foul weather mask and gear, frantically ran to tell the OD that men from Mars had landed on the fore- mast. But Winter passed and the sun grew warmer and Main Street started to sound a little more ap- pealing than Gian-cho. The Yardarm Sunbathing and Health Club flourished and most of us had a pretty fair tan for feminine appraisal when we reached Pier 7. The 180 eyeballs had seen a lot, some the left arms had a stripe more or maybe even a chevron, the boatsWain's mates had given up trying to get hazardous duty pay, and maybe the ensigns Werenit quite as green.
