MESSAGE FROM THE STAFF We hope that you are pleased with your World Cruise Book of 1954. The staff has made a sincere effort to surpass former cruise bool-as in quality. All of the editing, art work, and cover design was originated by the Saff and required many hours of burning the candle. We would like to express our gratitude to all of the people who have made contributions, small or large, and especially to the Commanding Officer for extending the finest cooperation throughout our endeavors. Sincerely, Photography contributions: BUCkll'lghaUl, D. E. La Fgrgg, R. A. Christopher, G. G. Lgrd, DHI, Conway. J- Masters, w.R.,Jr Cordnvr. R-S. McGill, A.E. Dvslian. A- Moskowitz, A.s. ENN.
