Each has a field in which he excells and thus lends an able hand to the officers in teaching the various subiects on the curriculum. Sargeant Maior J. F. Schrudcler USMC, is the custodian of the rifle range and instructor in tactics and close order drill. Chief Yeoman M. Wrona is the unit yeoman, and G. A. Egloff SKI the supply assistant. R. A. Botana QMI, O. J. Wicker GMI, and J. L. Powell FTI assist the Navigation, 4th class, and Gunnery instructors respectively. R. G. Chase QMICSSJ will as- sume the duties of assistant navigation instructor next year. It is the unenviable iob of Miss Muriel Easley and her assistant, Miss Carolyn Conley, to handle and co- ordinate the miles of red tape which pass through the unit daily. They also deserve a hearty well done. W5 7 'x, N R.G. Chase,QMl,lssJ,USN R.A. 8otana,QMl,USN J.l.. Powell,FTl,USN
