Boat Division Boat Ahoy? CASCADE! Any hour of the day or night you might hear this shouted through the winds. It is a signal be- tween the boat cox'n and the ship to let it be known if there is anyone important aboard. Carrying the Captain and Off- icers are not the only jobs of the hard working boat gang. C They carry the crew to the beach for liberty, fresh stores from shore to ship, and first and foremost the all import- ant mail. Neither rain, hail, or high seas can keep the boat division from its work. CWO .IEFFRA lst. Div. .Officer Front row: Cleft to rightj Lynch, Goodman, Lagno, Rock, Condon, jones, Oliver, Fry.

Deck Department As any sailor knows, the appearance of his ship makes the first impression. The responsibility of keeping her 'SHIPSHAPE' lies with the ,Deck Department. These men are the actual seamen of the Navy who scrub, swab, chip, scrape, paint the decks, and in the process keep up the ap- pearence of the sides, bulkheads and the overheads. They are the hands that handle the lines when going in or out of port. They man the cranes, booms and all the bqats. When at sea they are the 'Helm smen',the'Lookouts', the Lifeboat Crew and needless to mention the backbone of the 'High- line' and'Refueling Detai1s'. Each man in First and Second Division plays an intricate part of the vast machine which is DECK, and as a result must act as a team.FOR DANGER LIES EVERY WHERE AND A SLIP MAY MEAN DISASTER. The men of DECK do not share a glorious job, but certainly a most important one. But let him hear somone say 'SHE'S A CLEAN SHIP', and he knows that he s been given one of the highest tributes that can be had by a ship, that tribute that we of the CASCADE are Proud To Hold.
