-YY ---t.l...,lv, Commander Felton, in his last official act as Captain of the Colahan, presents the Black Cat Award to the R Division. Off with the old-on with the new. It looked like the Navy was doing just that. ln a few months, the ship was going into the yards for a face lifting-the past few weeks had seen a large portion of the crew replaced and now-Commander Wil- liam K. Brooks was replacing Commander Gale S. Felton, as Captain of the Colahan. lt was a short ceremony. Before an assembly of the ship's crew and officers Commander Fel- ton read his orders, which sent him to the Bureau of Naval Personnel. Then, Commander Brooks read his orders to take command of the Colahan. Thus ends our story. The Change of Command Ceremony marks the beginning of a new story about new men and of- ficers-a story which we cannot tell you, because it has not as yet been lived. .:Co1mirniander Brooks reading his orders to take command of the Colahan.

Hey, how about brushing off the back of my blues? How's this white hat look? When you start getting a compartment flooded with those questions, it means noth- ing else but 'Captain's Inspec- tion. Usually held on Saturday morning, it means a Friday nite spent shining shoes, re-rolling neckerchieves, washing white hats. When inspection time ar- rives, as you stand at attention waiting for the inspection par- ty to reach you, there's always that question in the back of your mind, I wonder if they will find anything wrong with me. When they walk on by, you mentally give a sigh of re- lief. Now, if they would only hurry up-l could sure use a cigarette. Page Fifty-four 'E division reaches for a smoke now that it's all over. Di-vision,A-ten-shun! First and Second di visions prepare to be inspected.
