H DIVISION COMPRISED OF hospitalmen and dental technicians, this is one division that most people would just as soon stay away from but when the need arises these men stand ready, willing and able to cope with any- thing from a slight cold to a serious sickness. Working efficiently without fanfare these men care for us when we are sick and injured and also do all in their power to see that we do not become sick in the first place by administering shots, (it is not true that all the needles are square, only half of them are) and by inspecting the food which we eat for purity. To these men go the whole ship ' s thanks for mak- ing this a healthy and thereby a happy cruise. tint TOW, left lo right: W. H. Whacley, H. D. Daly, L. J. Louviert, C. E. McKinley, P. J.

DIVISION THE R DIVISION, one of the five making up the engineering department, is the ship ' s repair division. Three rates are included in this division, namely, the metalsmiths, pipefitters and damage controlmen. Constantly occupied with the endless flow of re- quests for repair work of every nature, the R Di- vision maintains two shops. The first of these is the shipfitters shop, where the pipefitters and metalsmiths hold sway. Specialists in their own field, the metal- smiths do all the cutting, welding, brazing and struc- tural work while the pipefitters fill their time with maintenance of all piping and plumbing features. The carpenters who are damage controlmen by rate, operate the second shop. Their greatest concern is the repair of the ship ' s boats, a job which the boat Cox ' uns see is never done. In addition the car- penters handle the steady stream of requests to fabri- cate all manner of wooden articles for use aboard ship. Regardless of his rate or job, each man in R Division is considered an expert in damage control. For this reason you will find them during general quarters scattered all through the ship ready to take quick and effective action in any emergency that might come up. tint row, Uft to rigbl: P. V.

S DIVISION SERVE 400,000 meals! Pay 500,000 dollars! Sound fantastic? Those are just two of the many, many functions of S Division during this cruise. These are the men who run the galley, ship ' s store, bake shop, ice cream room, disbursing office, and many other vital functions aboard ship. It is S Division which feeds us, clothes us, pays us, and furnishes the thousands of things large and small that enable us to do our jobs. The preparation and serving of food for the 1200 men aboard the DEUEL during this cruise is the largest job done by the men of S Division and one that they have done well, judging from the number of men who have had to buy new clothes as their old ones were no longer able to contain their swelling waistlines. The tailor shop and laundry, also run by the men of S Division, have done their share towards mak- ing the DEUEL men well groomed on all occasions. To the men who run the ship ' s store goes another accolade for the many bargains we were able to buy there. By purchasing the native goods of the coun- tries we visited through the store we were assured of quality and a fair price. It was the profits of this store which enabled us to throw such a bang-up party in Golfe Juan. firtl raw, Ufl to right: S. F. Holbrook, 3. B. Lambert E J. NWer, C. T. Mtlton.
