Captain Stark tbelowl returned to give the lecture that was so well-received last year. In addition, there were valuable lectures on damage control, first aid, and counterinsur- gency. Chief Noel entertained everybody in the Bio Labs with his weekly flaghoist drill, and Chief Currie displayed a thorough com- mand of deck seamanship in the ground tackle drill. At the opposing popularity poles were the anti-submarine warfare trainer and he John F. Kennedy physical fitness test, and deservedly so.
