Crossing The Line It is the day to become a Golden Shellback! The experienced Shellbacks are ready and the uninitiated Pollywogs don ' t know what fun they are about to experience. King Neptune demands a court of beauties to set the scene and they are quickly provided by various divisions throughout the ship. Pollywog beauties are imitated by YN3 Michael, LI3 Pabon, HT2 Menard, SN Gallagher, FC3 Shenk and FCSN Red- horse. Mermaid SN Hunter is escorted by SN Bell and BM2 Young. 0S3 Eddy demonstrates red dancing and a special arrangement of Rawhide ' s Rawhide is sung by 01 Division. Since the even- ing performance on the fantail requires a soundman, this service is provided by the Senior Wog, Capt. Fahy, for accor- danist HT1 Puchalski. Shellback LI2 Curtis holds Wogs at bay on the fore- castle with aid from the Pirate Swash- buckler (Lt. Blackington) and 0S2 Van Laarhoven. Shellback FCCM Capazzi swings encouragement to Wog Lt. Cmdr. Routh. At last, there is a mo- ment of rest at the bubble blowing trough.
