Wm f-iff S-5 Division You have heard much about morale. When your spirit is high, when you are feeling iine, when you are doing a good job and Want to do a better one - that IS morale. One sure way to help build morale among Navy men is to give them tasty well-balanced and attractively served meals. That is why S-5 Division headed by Ensign D. A. KRUGER, is one of the most important Divisions aboard GALVESTON. The ship's officers are customers of the Steward Division and since the oliicers are in charge of the ship, the Stewards are key figures behind the success and happiness of the whole ship's company. Besides the tasks of purchasing, preparing and serving the food for the Oflicers' Mess, S-5 Division is responsible for the cleanliness and preservation of the Galley, the Pantry, The W'ardroom, Storerooms, Staterooms and the passageways connecting these spaces. One of the high points of the cruise for twenty-one of the men in the division was a leave period during which they were reunited with loved ones in the Philippines. 138A Early in the cruise, S-5 Division also won the GALVESTON plaque for having the best colfcc aboard ship. vw Q D Q l , 2 i if I .J, .
