LIEUTENANT (J.G.) LESTER L. KIMBLE. USN Mr. Kimble ' s favorite phrase is: It all counts on twenty. He knows whereof he speaks, for he enlisted in 1929, serving four years on the China station in the AUGUSTA, and in such ships as the SAVANNAH and the GLENNON. Those fiendish, crosseyed mechanisms, fire-con- trol mechanisms, have no terrors for him, for he was a Chief Firecontrolman before he was commissioned. The end of the war found him at the Naval Training Center, Boston, from which post he came here in April, 1949. LIEUTENANT DAVID W. CRIPPIN, USN Enlisting in 1935, Mr. Crippin was in the NEW YORK, TEXAS, WYOMING, AUGUSTA, HERNDON, CONSTEL- LATION, and VIXEN. From Chief Teleman to a commission was his next rise. Just prior to his arrival here in March, 1949, he was attached to the staff of the Commander-in-Chief, Atlantic Fleet. PAYCLERK (SC) ALVIN ANTEEN, USNR A graduate of Bentley School, Mr. Anteen, also studied at Northeastern. En- tering the Navy in 1940, he served in the Pacific, Australia, and Hawaii, and aboard the HECTOR, LSMR 519, and LSMR 529. After being released to inac- tive duty he re-entered the field of ac- counting before accepting the post of Supply Officer here in August, 1949.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER WILLIAM H. HEMMERLY, USNR Mr. Hemmerly sailed for Standard Oil for six years after his graduation in 1936 from the schoolship. Called to aetive duty in 1942, he became chief engineer first of the CONWAY and later of the SHAN- NON, serv ing throughout the Pacific area. Upon leaving the service he became man- ager of an iceplant in California until accepting his present position. His stu- dents are well-grounded in electricity, refrigeration, and auxiliaries when they reach the tender hands of the Inspectors. LIEUTENANT (J.G.) LINWOOD G. SWANSON, USNR Mr. Swanson has had a wide experience since his graduation from the NAN- TUCKET in 1941. A shipyard machinist until he secured a berth with American Export Lines, he sailed during the war with this company. In 1946 he became a boiler inspector and safety engineer for an insurance company, until his arrival here as instructor in boilers and Rules and Regs. He has just resigned to accept a position with a machinery construction company. LIEUTENANT JAMES D. CROSBY, USNR Mr. Crosby joined the staff in June, 1948, after long service with various steamship companies and almost six years as chief engineer of various training ves- sels of the Merchant Marine Cadet Corps. As an assistant engineering officer, Mr. Crosby has contributed much to the excellent condition of the ship.
