he Seventh Division, under the direction of LTJG Miller and Ensign Thayer, is considered one of the hardest working divisions on board the COLUMBUS. It can readily be under- stood if an inspection was to be held of the superbly kept topside spaces on the starboard side between frames 93 and 127. These spaces are under the supervision of C. B. Pursel, BM3. A word must be said for the expert handling of the Seventh ' s numerous fueling hoses and stations which are headed by A. B. Christofferson, BM2, the leading petty officer. Of course we must not forget the boys who work aloft on the 03 and 04 levels and the stack, and on the lower decks under Vanhook, C. C, BM3. As in every other division, we have our characters, such as B. E. Luke the drifter. Bishop and Daniel (Steel Mill) Gahagan. We are not left out of the lover department either. Such people as Bill (The Steamer) Dorton and Guy Ruscito take care of that. We also have our athletes, K. J. Triptow, boxer, and A. G. Kopsky, football star. And if you ever have a police case, by all means see Maxie (Private Eye) Drews. As a whole, and I ' m sure that we all agree, the Seventh consists of a wonderful bunch of sailors. What keeps the Seventh Division gun gang on its toes? Some of us know the answer. Maybe you think it ' s MacDoughall, GMI, or Boggs, GMC. But if you stop and think you will find that the men themselves take pride in their ship and in their work. They want their working spaces to look the best on the ship. They also like someone to appreciate their work and compliment them on it. You ' ll always find the guns ready for any occasion. You ' ll always find us ready to cooperate with all hands. Some things make it hard to achieve our goal. For instance. Mount 3010, on the fantail. These men take a lot of kidding about their mount being the garbarge barge. But you ' ve got to give credit where credit is due. Many mounts don ' t have to contend with a salt spray or the black soot that always appears when they blow tubes. Things like this always keep the men busy. And If you ever walk into the gun shack you will always find the men in a friendly debate. There ' s nothing they would rather do than argue. It ' s like an old ladies tea party, except that they drink coffee. The men are proud of their division and ship and will do anything to make them outstanding.
