Captain Leigh of the USMC, the mess caterer, does a fine iob in this capacity. Between him, Mr. Xanders, and a staff of men headed by Chief Guerrero, the ST division is one that is surpassed by none. The purpose of this division is to perform duties that one would find in almost any home or hotel. The senior steward is in direct charge of the division. He supervises the cooks in the preparation of the different food items that appear on the menu, which he carefully plans one week in advance. lt is the responsibility of this division to buy, issue, and prepare all the food that is consumed by the officers and their guests in the wardroom. The wardroom is very capably managed by Steward second class G.W. Hawthorne, who has many years of experience to back him up in this capacity. Under him comes the responsibility of supervising his crew in the correct setting of tables, serving, and the cleaning of the officers dining spaces. The men that make up the ST Division are not only proficient in their duties as stewards and stewardsmen, but also on the different stations assigned them for battle purposes, including gun mounts, boats and the repair parties.

The flag division consists of men of various rates and iobs. I't consists mostly of yeomen, radiomen and quartermasters, but there are also store-keepers, barge crew and stewards whose iobs are equally important. Although not large, the flag has a big job, especially when operation time rolls around. The yeomen are forever working on the op-order , plans for the next amphibious operation, and the radiomen and quartermasters are combining efforts with ship's company in preparation for the on coming task of handling numerous messages. Ask any flag' man and he will tell you the flag spaces are the cleanest and most squared away ones on the ship. We are proud of our division and our ability to work together.
