Special holiday meals, cookouts on the lantail, and pop- corn tor each night's movie brought us a little closer to home in our hearts. 'l'he division also spread good will during many ot' our port visits by setting up parties on the messdecks tor the children from the local orphanages to let them have a much-needed treat of cakes, cookies, candy, ice cream, and cartoon showings. 'l'he Steward division on KOELSCH during the cruise, under the supervision ot' Petty Utlicers Jimenez and Montoya, had the responsibility ol' maintaining the Wartlroom and ollicers' living quarters. Long hours were spent in the pantry preparing meals and special dinners lor visiting dignitaries and other guests. The stewards' culinary skills were put to the supreme test during the cruise and they passed by doing an outstanding job. lt seeinctl as it the ollicers were always eating in the war- tlrooing besides, where else was there to go'.l Un the 15th and Zltlth ofevery month that wonderful day called payday arrives and again our wallets are filled with green tat least until we get off the shipl.
