' Come to the casino and have your morale saved! The time had come to put away the cards and begin the auction. The auctio- neers stood up in front of the crowd and the bidding wars were on with a vengence. Prizes auctioned off were varied, but included captain ' s chair for half a day, XO for a day (E-6 and above), front of ship ' s store line for a month and mess deck for a week, ski lift and white rafting tickets, hotel rooms, days off (both duty and work) mag- azine subscriptions, food stuffs and of course cruise books! Whether you won enough penguin bucks for successful bid- ding or not, there were no real losers, as the morale committee netted $1500 for future crew functions. Tad, don ' t be mad, the Captain always wins at my table Ms. Fullaway save some for the crew! Now that you have the money Ms. Turner, what was it you were going to buy again? It ' s time once again for that Valparaiso shuffle, craps any one. ' 57

Havana Casinos never treated me so good! Ooh those Colorado women! CASINO NIGHT HUMP DAY ARRIVED, the halfway point of Deep Freeze ' 86. The crew was happy knowing the rest was downhill from here on out. All the gambling fools broke out the cards, the dice and their money for a night of high rolling. The ship ' s morale committee was actually responsible for this night. Everyone partici- pated in this event one way or another. Some dressed up to be cigarette girls , waitresses, dealers, and bankers. The rest just played your typical gam- blers at any normal casino. There was a variety of games to play, Blackjack, Dealers Choice or even Roulette. The refreshments were served. Some- one was always behind the grill cooking away. The morale committee sold bongo bucks ( 1 00 penguin dollars for 1 dollar), that could be used to bid on a variety of prizes at the end of the night. The crew had such an enjoyable night, whether they won or lost, that we decided to do it all over again. Both were successful events, providing an immediate uplift in spirits for the crew and all profits went for future morale events. 56 Some of the guys end up with real dogs, right George? Okay guys this is dealers choice, everyone knows how to play old maid, right?
