ROBBINS, after his return from 5 f54 school proved to be a highly talented striker, the MC CAlN's answer to Wilt Chamberlin, PHILLIPS, made a fine record on the basketball courts during our good will contests in various countries Ialthoughhe did admit that he was camera shy and that he didn't like his female admirers to rush himl, Ole Number 65 MC DERMOTT dazzled us all with his athletic prowess Iparticu- larly his slides into third in the Subic softball gamel while keeping up his constant talk in the nightly movies and keeping a lively correspondence going with his I3 year old love in Singapore, BOJARSKI who threatened a jump to every Russian freighter we saw and was a potential interpreter in four foreign languages, JOHNSON who was second only to MAC in the chatter department while improving his vocabulary in preparation for his return to the street corner and his eagerly sought swap to any ship in 253 , HOPPER who continued to be BERRY's number one man on the Rocket Launcher, ONSTAD who understudied PHIL in basketball while waiting eagerly for June when the cat from Crystal North Dakota would again see his college love , Woody WOODROW who X Adding a hash mark maintained the torpedo room's record of Outstanding for all inspections lin spite of the fact that the room more often resembled a bike shop or storeroom than a torpedo. rooml, CARMICHAEL whose wife had a baby boy while he was in WestPac, SQUIERS and CROOK who shared the mesi cooking duties and did a bangup iob in the torpedo room, and GUERIN who proved his worth as a gun striker and told us all how they did it on other ships. Second Division played a leading role in the ship's in- tensive good will effort during this year's WESTPAC cruise. Their fine conduct and their genuine interest in people, of other countries helped to make the People to People Program as successful as it was. The outstanding appearance of all Second Division spaces, and most particularly the mounts, made a tremendous impression on our many guests. The fine leadership and willingness to share equally in all divisional work made possible the high degree of spifll within the division during the entire cruise. Each member of the division can take pride in the fact that he played an important role in both the defense of the United States and the entire free world and in the successful promotion of the President's People to People Program.
