DUIQ DAY Four bells echo throughout the silent hall- ways of our good ship - the U. S. S. Richardson Hall. The maddening blare of the bugle drowns out the bellls refraining peal as it sounds out rt-veille. The 0. Dfs voice is barely audible above the tumult of slamming doors and the shuffling footsteps of those rousing out. Hit the dock, muster, wash, dress, shave, clean quarters, scrubtlown. All mcssmen report to the galley. Tfmc marches on, and the deserted companion- ways turn bedlams upon the summons to chow. ,M W -x x no IL! JE by lg..

'LBalallion, company, platoon -- fall in. Atten- tion to muster. All present or accounted for, sir. Next calisthenics or a morning run. At 11830 we midshipmen can be found scattered throughout the classrooms delving into the study of the arts and mysteries of the sea. The tlCClilllCI1 struggle with their navigation, math, seamanship, while steam, diesel engineering and electricity are enough to puzzle the black gang. Classes disperse at 1150, at which time most of thaw' corps can be found lingering around the mail box searching violently for mail and pack- ages. Noon mess is at 1215, and usually another discussion and cigarette follow. We muster at 1300 and after all are again present or accounted for march to class for the afternoon. Knock-off time at 1530. Then the activities begin. Sonic days Batallion drill heads the hill, but more often we are to be found at sport. Tennis, base- ball, basketball, volleyball all help speed by our few minutes of leisure. The bugle beckons us to come to mess at 1700. Short liberties are granted after mess. At this time many can be found at the village drugstore or crowding in front of the counter at Mac's. On week-ends those not on leave throng the village theatre for a few hours of rare entertainment, and even sub-zero weather has not prevented some of us from enjoying the ancient and historic landmarks of Castine. All hands report to study hall. Once again solitude falls upon the Campus. At length the end of our day draws near. Tattoo calls us to our quarters. Lights out. The bugle sounds soft and clear as taps is blown. Four hells. Only the automatic footsteps of the wandering Sentry are to be heard when the Cadet O. D. reports 'GAll secure for the night., sir.
