otes From the Editor Just three and a half weeks have passed since the conception of the third issue of GANGWAY-and now it is ready to go to bed-and so is the staff. Memories of those three and a half weeks will forever remain with us, reflecting scenes of palatial X-8, evening chow in Ship's Service, chocolate layer cake with some of Grandma's own brew of coffee, mid-term exams, proof-reading, layout problems and last-but not least-week-end liberty-in the class room building. To say that confusion attended GANGWAY'S progress, from infancy to the publisher, is putting it mildly-it reigned supreme! Following the close of hostilities with Japan, things began to happen around Fort Schuyler so fast that GANGWAY could not keep up with them. Officers were detached, department heads were changed and midshipmen were moved from one barracks to another. So, in order to stabalize our own affairs and get GANGWAY to bed by publisher's deadline time, we decided to set up the battalions as they existed at the beginning of September, to list the Staff as it was operating at about the same time and to hope for the best. But things were not all as portrayed above-we did have fun even if in a punchy sort of way. Spurred on by a juke box that ate up nickles like a New York subway turnstile, the invigorating visits of Radar and encouragement from the entire staff of the station we looked on the sunny side of things and plowed ahead. Too much cannot be said for a staff that produced in fine style when production was sorely needed. To Bob, Phil, Herb and Ro go a million sincere thanks for wonderful cooperation and work. As a shipis helpless without a rudder, so would we have been without the staunchest supporter and inspiration of the GANGWAY, Ruth Thurman. Disciplinar- ian, advisor and housemother-we owe much to her. Perhaps this will be the last GANGWAY to roll off the presses. If not, we all hope that future GANGWAY staffs have as much fun in producing their book as we did in producing ours. However, they can never have better cooperation from all concerned in the production of a class book than we enjoyed. It is to these, the unsung laborers of GANGWAY,S production we tender a heartfelt and humble 'cthank you. ' BILL DUNCAN 80
