:.1... 1 ....... . .....,... W, SHIP' Une of the lT1OSt eagerly awaited events in the life of the crew of the U.S.S. Central is the issuing every other week of the ship's newspaper. Under the editorship of Leona Tee- gardin with Ieannette Faust as her assistant and Miss Eliza- beth Ritzmann as faculty advisor, the staff has worked long and hard to iron out the difficulties of production. Mary lane Zirkel was feature editor, Dick Viviani succeeded Coast- guardsman Bob Moen as sports editor, and Rosemary Reilly edited the news from junior high. The unsung heroes of the staff were the typists, whose work only began after the news was gathered and prepared for publication. Charmayne Robbins was the chairman of the typing committee. Advertising was solicited under the leadership of Audrey O'Neill. There have been 14 issues of the paper published, of which three were six-page editions. ln publishing the April 13 issue, the 11A journalism class took complete charge. Ieanette Thorson acted as temporary editor-in-chief. with Roslyn Wein, Albert Baldwin, Phyllis Allen, and Alice Michalson associate editors. The editor of the annual Mirror Magazine was Ieannette Faust, with Leona Teegardin as her assistant. They were aided by the regular stall. Special recognition is due to Bev- L06 erly Evans, Harriett Haugen, and the journalism class for their work on the book. Bud Fisher as stafl photographer provided the informal pictures, and Charles Duane designed the cover. Because of a special wartime regulation, the ship's log was required to be cut down to 75 percent of the weight it was in 1941. This necessity added to the problems facing the stafl, but with the extra effort expended the obstacle was overcome. A new typistls crew was recruited by Delores Doane. There was a typist at work every period of the day for some time before the annual could be sent to press. The business and circulation crew with Miss Anne lung- inger as advisor have been on the job to take care of finan- cial arrangements as well as getting and distributing each issue of the paper. Lyman Fosdick deserves special mention in this work. Publication of the Mirror and the Mirror Magazine has entailed long hours of work for the stafl, but in return they felt great satisfaction in seeing each issue come out. More- over, they realized that from their labors they had gained training and experience which would stand them in good stead when their days on the U.S.S. Central were over. 4- MIRROR STAFF Row 1: B. lavalls. M. Porter. D. Vivi- ani. B. Moen, M. Zirkel. L. Tevgarrlin J. Faust, A. 0'Ncill. C. Robbins, R. Reilly, B. Hovey. Row 2: R. O'Brir-n. M. Marty.

RECRE TION CREW The recreation crew, led by Betty Hovey, has done its utmost to make our life pleasant aboard ship. We dropped anchor Sep- tember 8 and less than two weeks later a get-acquainted partyi' was staged. Since we were busy getting our sea-legs, the com- mittee waited till after the football season for the first evening party. What with low lights, soft music, and pretty girls, everyone had a good time. Later in the fall two mat dances were planned aboard ship. Neva Leigh provided a stack of platters for the juke box and those records surely got us into the swing of things. Then along came Valentine's Day which was the inspiration for the next dance. Dick Viviani, as chairman of decorations, transformed our gym in an inimitable manner for that slick Hearts In Harmony party. We not only had cupids to put us in romantic mood but also a big golden moon shining from above. Closely following this dance came the Shamrock Shufflei'-a rhapsody in green. Ahl and itwas many a colleen and her uMike that had a gala time that night. Scheduled for April 20 was the Scrap Committee Drive and Dance under the leadership of Captain Rudy Becker, which turned out to be a great success. Allen Sweetis orchestra entertained us after we had spent a good, patriotic evening hunting scrap. Climaxing the end of the year with a usmash hit was the May Pole Dance held May 4. Never before was the gym decorated in such splendor. The ship's company really put everything they had into this last, gay dance to make it the high-light of the season. Everyone and everything was on the beam. As demands for shore leave entertainment were increased, the Loft, a city high school canteen, was established at the Y.M.C.A., and Friday and Saturday nights saw the Persian Room crowded with dancing couples, while the Cola-Cabana Room and the Blue Room also had their share of attention. All in all, this year has proved to be one of the successful recreation yearsn in the history of the U.S.S. Central. h SOCIAL COMMITTEE Row I: J. Fellows. B. Skelly. M. Zirkrl, I.. Prantnf-r. B.

OFF THE RECO Hi-Y Club was organized to stimulate higher standards of behavior among the boys. The members are selected on the basis of character, personality, service, and scholarship. Not only the members, but the whole student body bene- fits from the organization. One of its numerous duties has been to print programs for recreation on board ship. in addi- tion to its other services, Hi-Y this year is awarding a twen- ty-five dollar scholarship to some deserving boy in the senior section. ' The officers, elected for a term of one school year, are drafted on the basis of leadership and character. Those on duty this last year have been Tom Fuller, president, Sam Cuccia, vice-president, and Bob Ioachim, purser. Roger Me- nigo, former purser of this crew, was called for active duty early this year. Hi-Y, which is affiliated with the Y.M.C.A., has been one of the most influential and beneficial of the ship's clubs. It has been under the guidance of Mr. Richard Gross. I-II-Y CLUB Row 1: G.

Diederielr. l l21l RD Membership in M-Club is limited to those crewmen who have earned letters in athletics. The M-Club was organized for the purpose of obtaining funds for those members injured in athletic combat. In pre-D vious years the highlight of these activities has been the min'trel show. However, this year it was dispensed with b cause of the loss of crewmen for active duty. Faculty ad- visors are Mr. Lloyd Falgren and Mr. Leroy Klose. The Phy-Chem Club, the most recent organization formed aboard the U.S.S. Central, was originated by members of the physics and chemistry classes. The main purpose of the meetings, which took place every Monday, is to further general interest along scientific lines. Under the direction of Petty Officer R. O. Sprecher, interesting demonstrations and topics are given. Also, indi- vidual experiments are performed, many of which are comic, if not disastrous. The officers of Phy-Chem are president, Douglas Mullen, vice-president, Warren LeSageg purser, Martha Hanchetteg keeper of the log, Beverly Evans. M-CLUB Row I: R. Bates. D. Grubb. J. Borg, D.
