AND E HEAD HCME . . . Either you get out of here, Hanson, or I'll blow us all up - Richter TO AMERICA . As we headed home, there was a feeling of anxiety among all of us and the morale was high. We had a beard growing contest and a crib- bage tournament that lasted till we reached Philadelphia. We stayed there five days while the seniors attended fire-fighting school close by on the base. A dance was arranged with a nearby womenis college and nearly all hands on board attended. It was termed a success and many friends were made. It seems that two Midshipmen also made a visit to Philly's Symphony Hall and got class 'Ai seats Cvia the stage entrance? to view the Smothers Brothers. That maneuver must have taken quite a line. We arrived in Castine with many fond memories, and our leave follow- ing the cruise went swiftly by as did the next couple of months after the word was passed of a trip to our nationis capitol for Maritime Week. We would now be on top for the seniors would stay behind for this trip and leave the driving to us. The heavy burden of responsibility was now ours.

In this port we made use of the M A 30 footers as we were moored quite a ways from land. Helium- Head and the big Mike Bullard found themselves playing chauf- feur for all the Middies and Officers and made quite a name for themselves while trying to break speed records for The Runf, Upon going ashore, We found that wicker goods and hand- made linens were the island,s most notable products and even if some of us couldn't get ashore or just didnit want to, the bum- boatsi' were there to barter with. We still wonder why they didn't i'i2 appreciate US testing 0'-11' HFC 1 dorft like this place. I can't run out hoses every so often! 1554 igfelfowafd - C0HiH, McCann- The famous basket ride down the hill was an experience long to be remembered. Our basket- ball team will be long remem- bered, too, following their ex- hibition game for the local chil- dren. We bought a line negative of the ship and sold prints all the way home, the money to be used for our Ring Dance. Watch it! They're gonna drop another CO2 Cylinder! No, I haoerft any money either - F. Young, Stone I don't care what happened to your deer. I paid, and I want a ride - Simmons, Morris 142
