WRECK CREATION Of all the aspects of Navy life, it is recreation that tests the mettle of aship'smorale.When a crew works hard, day after day and in hot and crowded spaces, one really has to like his shipmates to want to spend what few hours he has to himself in furtherance of their company. But, as the next eight pages so clearly show, togetherness is hardly a problem aboard the TALLY HO. Whether it be baseball or basketball, win or lose, the same smile always pervades the returning ranks. And in the evening, the steps might be less than certain, and their wake somewhat less than straight, but as they weave their way up the brow a twinkle steals through each glassy eye, and a smart salute marks the return of the fold to the laughable but lovable girl we have learned to call our home.
