FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On the morning of August 30, 1948, over fifty inductees started their boot training at Fort Turtle Lake. We went through the routine of getting our equipment and obtaining sufficient information as to when we would have our mental and phys- ical training. We were divided into two groups so our 52nd Battalion was split up temporarily for about nine months. After a few days of the usual confusion we found our schedules were so arranged that our commanding officers were as follows: Captains, Kingsbury, Berthiaume, Pederson, Stary and Skoe and Admiral Gates. We also discovered that at Fort Turtle Lake there was quite a different kind of mess hall. During this year we have had good days and bad. Some of the bad ones were when our superior officers took to ribbing us. The worst was one evening when we were called to a party strangely na.med Initiation, We found out what it was all about as have all the sailors before us, We found that some of the dressed up sailors walking around were all belonging to the 49th Battalion and they were all Petty Officers, Fir st Class which, we hope to be some day. During our boot training some of our buddies have fallen out of ranks. Some to find jobs at home and some to be transferred to other stations. We have had some transfers come to Fort Turtle Lake, too. When our boot training is over and after a ninety-day furlough we hope to come back to Fort Turtle Lake and join the ranks with the title of Petty Officer, Second Class.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY The year nineteen hundred and forty-seven found thirty-nine intelligent looking draftees entering Fort Turtle Lake. During our boot training two of our buddies dropped from our ranks but two more joined us to fill their places. After a well-earned leave we returned to the fort and now as Petty Officers, Third Class, we are permitted to move into the barracks with the superior officers We were joined by six new petty officers this year. Our initiation party committee provided quite a humorous evening on November 7, 1948, Each one did his part well, and we all had a good time and a bountiful lunch. Well, here's hoping that all 42 of us will be back as Petty Officers, Second Class, to finish our course together. The Class Officers President ....... .................... .....
