Swim Call The day before the ship pulled into Hawaii, we anchored off Barbers Point and enjoyed a swim call and the Super Bowl on Honolulu television. While some of us watched the Oakland Raiders defeat the Philadel- phia Eagles for the NFL champion- ship, others participated in swim call or sunbathed under the warm Hawaiian sun.

Church Services The spiritual needs of a ship the size of the DIXON are as varied as the members of the crew aboard. With the assistance of the Chaplain, every Sunday saw a steady flow of worshipers going in and out of the 02 level conference room. Lay leaders for the Protestant, Latter Day Saints, and Catholics helped their members worship God as they felt best. In addition to the Christian services on Sundays, there were Hebrew services, and Bible study classes were conducted throughout the week at various places on the ship by the different faiths. Just one more way the crew came together and found peace while away from home.

Ship ' s Picnic The end to a perfect day came with a picnic on the helo deck. The Supply Department pulled all the stops on this one with bar-b-qued steaks, chicken, corn and soft drinks. Everyone relaxed and rewarded themselves for all the hard work that preceded the event. ' . ' j p ■p HRSSBB BsB PV3IV ' 3K 8P F ' W w ' aj I m Kj iJ K Tl |P 01
