Characters on Board Ship: The Pilot had more than its share of characters. The members of the ship's crew hailed from all parts of the country. Earle -- straight from Harlem, the boogie-Woogie expert and singer de luxe. Max- well - the two-gun Texan, the terror of the uuwary who tried to snatch an extra ice cream. Frey - our favorite chef, irrepressihle critic of all. Mahoney - the mad Irishman, friend of the underclass. Chips - gruff and tough, hater of cadets and trainer of embryo carpenters. And the Bosun scourge of the wicked lazy, always with a new job to do and a caustic word for all. f' - -N I Q we I2-W ig Nix ll ff , 5 H 1' E ' The Goldbrick Club: This organization had a large membership at all times. In order to - become a full-time member one had to avoid work at all times. Every Field Day the members of this club would meet in either number one hold or maybe number two. The Outboard sides of the running boats were favorite spots. The brave souls, however, congregated on the poop deck, where they could enjoy the sun. This group felt the Commandcr's wrath more than once. The Mess Deck: After three-thirty P. M., the mess deck became: a game room, a study hall, a public forum and a boxing ring all at once. Any type of card game could always be found in progress. Excited debates ranged as to Navy or Merchant, when the war would be over, Blondes or Brunettes, is she faithful? Savage boxing bouts went on at any old time. But through it all, scattered throughout, could he found the studious, engrossed in their Bow- ditch's or Steam, oblivious of all.

In- spection meant work, hard workg but after inspection there was liberty. Inspection may be defined as something that everybody tries to get out of. Various means are used for this. Sick slips, mail detail, relief for watches. Some intrepid souls even resorted to fainting while inspection was in progress. He was at once assisted to the Sick Bay by several of his anxious shipmates. Yes., we'll remember inspections, the long ranks of men all wilting in the hot New York summer sun. The Bridge: The bridge is to a ship what the brains are to a human. It is the nerve center. Everything is controlled from here. On the bridge is located the hehn which steers the ships, the telegraph through which orders are trans- mitted to the engine room, the compass, fathom- eter, direction Ender, sextants and all the other instruments which we thought we'd never un- derstand. ii ??A W-14 3 ,mi llq lu- I ff 1 Q EWGT' I . 1 1? ,f I I-I, 5 X, H.
