CRGSSI G THE LI E GR BIRTH GF For centuries Seafarers have traveled the world's oceans only to learn that our planet is not made up of countries, but rather of domains. The greatest domain is that of King Neptune, ruler of the Southern Hemisphere. There are centuries of sea stories telling of those who were not ready to enter his domain. Sailors traveling these waters know of the mysteries and strange phenomena that inhabit King Neptune's world. Serpents of enormous size and strength bow to the wishes of the great ageless ruler. Seamen who have ventured forth without the blessings of the king have been known to disappear without a trace. Legend has always had it that King Neptune isa heartless and wrathful monarch. Novice sailors have feared and panicked at the thought of entering his domain. On August 18, 1976, the ship steered a steady course for the point that not only crosses into tomorrow, but also crosses the equator to the southern half of our planet. This was done to initiate the crew as Golden Shellbacks.

THE CERE oNY g is There once was an initiation, A real sort of variation. And it seems there were backs, Also an old gent from the ocean. While dead in the water The wogs were first for a starter. The Shellbacks took over Because behind them they had Neptune Power For they were out to tear and tatter The ceremony was not frivolous, K at Sometimes a little too mischievous 'X Nothing but fun and excitement, Not really too much torment, It was to be very stupendous. There was alot of fun, Nothing was meant but just for fun. We all had agreat time, The ending was really fine. V We would not have missed it for anyone. There was a whole lot of merriment So all the wogs thru the garbage we went. We were spanked and torn, We caught alot of scorn, But there was really no harm meant, So we all became decent SheIIbaCkS! L. G. ARMSTRONG THE GGLDE HELLBACK lt seems there were wogs '95 kk
