ST DIVISION TO THESE MEN must needs go a goodly share of the credit for making the DEUEL the happy ship it is. Without happy officers a ship can never be a happy ship and it is these men of the St Division, by their good cooking, fine service, and cheerful manner that contributes so much to the pleasant out- look of the oflScers. Besides the preparing, cooking and serving of all food for the wardroom these men are also responsible for the cleanliness and upkeep of the wardroom, the staterooms and ' the oflicers galley and pantry. These men put in long hours of work to accom- plish their tasks and it is with deep appreciation that we say, well done . Top raw, left to rigbt: TN ▼. A. Lissiter, SD2 F. A. Ferrer, SD3 R. H.

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.

MAA DIVISION TO THE MASTER-AT-ARMS, or MAA ' s goes the important and thankless job of maintaining discipline aboard ship. Run incorrectly this group could have an adverse effect on morale, but run as it is aboard the DEUEL these men go a long way toward pre- serving the high level of morale which has always characterized the good ship DEUEL. Besides the above named responsibility, the MAA ' s also are in charge of the mess cooks and the mess deck. It is their duty to see that the mess deck is clean and shipshape, that the mess cooks are spot- less and know their jobs, and to oversee the move- ment of men through the chow line and out of the mess haU. To feed the large number of men that we do requires a well planned schedule, and it is the duty of the MAA ' s to carry it out. hell to right: BM2 T. E. Coker, EN3 C. N. Mclver, BMC E. J.
