flcati i 0££icesi Ralph Reid Marjory Hoover Melvin Gardner flcmion 'rtyc fo'iy THE S. S. 50 Avast there, ye landlubbers, and listen to the log of the S. S. 50. Our gallant bark set sail from Port September in 1948, bound for Port May. Captain Gardner gave orders to all the seamen as they set out on a calm ocean. Everything went smoothly until the craft reached Port October, Latitude 15, Longitude 48, where the crew grew restless and tired of the old grind and some were seasick. They stopped and had a little entertainment which consisted of two skits. After this they were refreshed so they again weighed anchor and set sail. The weather was fine and the crew happy until they reached the Port Novem- ber, Latitude 19, Longitude 48. The waves were rough; the members hungry; so they stopped and exercised their muscles and had a taffy pull. Then they all returned to their stations at 8 bells ready to continue their journey. At Port December, Latitude 10, Longitude 48, the S. S. 50 stopped for fuel. Commander-in-Chief Bingham suggested that the crew go in town for a little en- tertainment. They went to a movie which ended with Life in Upside Down Land on the production of glass and silverware which made them very homesick. They then returned to ship, each to his duties, and the ship set sail again. When the journey was half over, a crew member, Carol Clayton, jumped ship at Morenci, but Captain Gardner reported that two new members were added, Jack LaMar and Bill Dwyer, and that they would be at their destination in another four months. At Port February, Latitude II, Longitude 49, the crew had shore leave and went to a theatre to see A Close Shave, a Valentine play. They went back on board ship to their duties. A St. Patrick's Day Dance was given at Port March, Latitude 18, Longitude 49, by the crew. Everyone enjoyed himself very much; then they continued their journey. Deciding to have the Captain's Dinner (Junior-Senior Banquet) a little early, the crew made preparations. There was delicious chow, and the crew danced after- ward. They used the theme of a night club. Since it was a special occasion, they docked for one day and then made way to reach their destination. The crew said that it was the smoothest cruise they had ever taken and hoped to have as good a one next time. 15
