Saw St -fill J all wore civies.” Yessiree, the boys really took a hand and made this a lively unit. Under the able direction of Joe Gerlach, the boys whipped together football, basketball, and track teams. The football squad battled to a first place tie that year with Minot; the basket- ball team bounced to a regional champion- ship by winning six out of seven games, and the track team participated in three meets. The next season (’44-’45) my boys fought to a three way tie in football and again took the basketball championship. The fellows did other things, too. Things like the musical they put on at the Dickinson Theatre to rally support for a bond drive. The show ran for two days. And then in the spring of '44 the men staged a boxing tournament which was open to the public— and very successful, I might add. The men have also participated in Armistice day rallys, college stage productions, and mem- orial services. In the early part of ’45, when the college newspaper folded up for want of a printer, some of the boys got together and started a mimeograph ship news sheet, which they appropriately named the “Prairie Breeze.’’ The men who have really made this unit click during these first two years have been the ship’s company; our skipper, Lieutenant Bradley; our executive officers, Lieutenants Gorton and Highlen: medical officers, Lieu- tenant Commander Johnson and Lieutenant Hoffman. Incidentally, Commader Johnson’s son, Ernie, was stationed under me for a year before being sent to pre-flight. Then there are the many athletic spe- cialists who have worked under me. Joyce and Magee were first — they’re both (jg) Lieutenants now. Then Ajax, and Carroll (now a jg), Jivelekian, Budnick, Wilder, and Knotek (just recently made a Chief). The' yeomen, Chiefs Sather and Gabel; the phar- macists mates, Bugge, Miles (now a jg), Smart, Gigler, and Willcox, and storekeepers Courson, Shula, Grometer (now a jg), Bo- linger, and Carlstrom. Seaman Gag assisted the yeomen. Yep, all these and all the trainees and a lot of hard work have gone to make this a successful unit through these two years. Men may come and men may go; but me, well, I’ll have to stay here and see that this unit keeps right on functioning properly ’till we’ve got this war won. Civ ion 3
