in Berkeley, California. Two recent additions are '6Johnnie Evans and H' ' 'f - - The.next section is pretty wellglgiibwrg ??ElXl1Ct?lL,, 'ghough striking for storekeeper, uc avarre may be seen daily Qexcept 1p's store, selling during inventoryj in the sh everything from tooth paste to rare Hon Kong linens. Ablyassisting him in the store? 1'00U1S is uB0b', Franker who also handles Ship's Allotment in the Supply Qfgcg. ' . , just ask Bob about the Mrs.,' and he'11 have Ou cornered, telling you all about his post-Niivy plans and showing you a picture of a cute girl-h1s wife. That quiet one standing in the torpedo shack in his butcher-er-barber jacket is, of course, our barber, T. L. Miller SH2. Way back aft under the fantail is ani other quite famous group-the laundry b0Y5,,- Honestly, they ' don't intentionally bleach those dungarees baby blue , actually, it's no cinch washing, ironing, and sorting out clothes with the ship rolling and pitching, water sloshiing on the deck, and the tem- perature about as hot as Hades. In charge is' Billy Walker, assisted by Tommy Taylor, another Rebel, T. L. You gotta show me Bordeaux fhe's from Nlissourij, and Leon Lehman, from Mon-tan--n-n--n -n-a. Last but not least we come to the Supply Ollice where we find some of the real cats Qexcuse me, Ship's Utiicej. Heading the list is Lee Moritz, DK3, who not only owns a Hong Kong suit but asilk brocaded H. K. vest as well I a feat only equaled by 3 of the more 'cprogressivev ollicersj. Assistant Disbursing Clerk is Dave Chapman, they figure out all the pay, type up personal allotments, and assist the D. O. on travel claims. We've i 2z..tzs...z.s1r already mentioned 3 of the SK's which leaves us with Mac,' McKenna, one of the Boston Back Bayers who works on ship's store returns and GSM, and Jim f Sons of the Colden Westvj fCallet, oflice Supervisor. Not counted above but part of HS Division temporarily are those crew members who have served as Mess Cooks. Their job is probably little appreciated but a big one: they helped to make those Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners the memorable events they were. To all who have pulled such Hhitchesw goes a Well Donei' from the uregularsw of S Division. Helping to coordinate the laundry, barber- shop, and other divisional work, and acting as assistant to the S. O. is M. A. f Now, Bossvj Speer, CSRC, with 20 years service. ' Division Oiiicer and Boss is LT. Pay Tumbleson who may be thrown into a temporary rage by any dero- gatory' remarks on the fair state of California or by the question: Did you go t0 Stanford? ' Although the motto of the' Sup- ply Corps is Ready for Sea , I am forced to admit that the new slogan of S Divis-i011 has become Ready for Shore Duty .

THE ENGINEE So very similar are the duties and the re- sponsibilities of the MAN and the Mn divi- sions that it is only fitting to take special pains to differentiate between them. The MN Gang under Chief Branson does the work in theiEngine rooms. They take care of the pumps, water supply, air conditioning and other units located in the Engine rooms. The i'Water Kingv is a title bestowed upon one of the members of the HM Division. The AW Gang, under the direction of Chief Davenport, is responsible for the auxiliary gear, water pumps, heating system, f00d freezer and the ice cream machine-all of which is located outside of the Engine r0OmS- From the ranks of the A Gang are the RING DEPARTMENT engineers to the motor whaleboats. Though their responsibilities differ, both rat- ings stand their watches in the Engine rooms. Oftentimes an EM is rousted out of his rack at some ungodly hour to work on a power failure, and finds out more often than not that his shipmate has been fumbling around with the wrong switch. The real pet peeve of this twelve hand working party is to be called away to some far corner of the ship to tighten a lightbulb. This ,group's primary task is to assure there is power available in all parts of the ship. In their spare time, that is whenthey aren't drinking tea in the battery locker, they work . , , , , 1 1, l k. , -.-fc A, - , k ,i , V f-A--s-.1-vv,,':-.-.H -Yr -.-a,,'.-.',.j,,.,,.,g,g ' T j ij! 345.1 Q ' N '- - A- - - - Q - - - '--' - M - --N-'U-1vi'!+'wa'1au-f-1-n-uwiA1:'-?- -- --feel'-'ll'-'TY- --- --. -3... .::2..!.- ...Z:3:x,n,n1cx,7a.Lnvp,gy,f,g.,,,,,.,,,,V, ,, Mf g, A
