Rigging for Church yiS REGULARLY as circumstances have permitted during the past - year, divine services have been held on the ship. This has meant practically every Sunday since the ship was commis- sioned. The hour appointed has usually been 1000. but there have been times when adjustments had to be made to fit situations. As, for example, there was one Sunday when the ship was coming to anchor just at Church Call, with all sea details on station. It seemed better to change the plan and make church that particular day a Vesper service in the late afternoon. Included in the ship ' s commissioning allowance was a metal pulpit. Navy issue. This served very well as a beginning toward the church gear which was thought desirable. The ship ' s carpenters gave full cooperation in this project by constructing a folding altar, a cross, candlesticks, and a kneeling bench for use at Communion. Subsequently hymnals were secured, curtains were purchased to enclose the compartment, a fine Gulbr organ was given the ship by an interested San Franciscan on behalf of his two young sons, a Communio provided by the Chaplain ' s denomination, and a beautiful triptych for the altar was forwarded by th ' Committee for the Army and Navy — the donor being a New Hampshire woman. When services were first begun on the ship after commissioning, the rigging was done in the for hall, this compartment having as one advantage a slight slope in the seating area. That space soon pn .v. too small, however, and the larger after mess hall has since been used. Especially worthwhile, in reviewing the past year, has been the contribution made to the servi; men in the way of music. Besides soloists — both vocal and instrumental — this has included the sing... - i Ship ' s Choir, and the frequent appearances of the Ship ' s Quartet. The assistan ce of the ship ' s printers has liivc wise been much appreciated in preparing a printed order of service which could include items of general interest and yet be of a size to fit into an envelope for mailing. Many of those attending the services wdt ' sending the bulletins home. Whenever possible arrangements have been made for Catholic Chaplains of the Fleet to c „ aboard for services, with ready cooperation always forthcoming from the Chaplains when available. For or -nd of four- teen weeks during the past year it was possible to hold a Catholic service aboard every Sunud . The pictures included on this page show Chaplain Nicholas with Captain J. W. Moore. Pacific F aplain, taken when the latter was aboard for the morning service in November. The center picture of tti lower panel shows Chaplain Moore again, with the altar triptvch visible in the background. The third picture ■ ' ' Massey at the organ, and the fourth was taken on Christmas Sunday morning to show the tree which was the Christmas decorations in the compartment. With the nearest fir tree some thousands of miles noun the tree was constructed of palm fronds brought from the beach. As a ship responsible in a number of ways for the welfare of other smaller craft attached CASCADE has welcomed the opportunity it has to provide religious services also, and church larly come aboard to share in the Sunday worship. The fact that the men of these ships withou. to us has provided an added incentive for making the compartment and the service as worshipful .. the n ,- I Qrty-one

IHAT which Was given out under the spotlight on the topside was customarily called Talent Night. Although letimes afterward you said ■talent with a rising inflection, like this — talent nights e had our ups 1 downs. Hut it was fine of the fellows to pitch in and help out the way they did. Ineie was a ready-made place for such festivities in the day ' s schedule. With evening chow finishing when ' 1 the movies beginning when they do, there was a sizable interval betwixt and between, it being loo darl • ' - read and not yet dark enough for turning on the projectors. This interval was admirably suited to music- ' i fversions, alleged impersonations, and other blandishments for eye and ear. ,i, way and another there was a good deal of variety, and quite an impressive list of performers. This ,. age does not provide sufficient space for the pictures of all of iheni. but immortalized here are the members of the Ship ' s Quartet (Jarratt, Miller.
