LCDR ARTHUR H. WALDO, JR. No doubt the more conscientious O. C. will clutch his H. C. Enterprises' Rules of the Road cards fondly in his left hand as he salutes the Officer of the Deck for the first time. Witli his confidence thus bolstered, he may rest assured that his career aboard ship will be a meritorious one, for does not white over red mean pilot ahead? Those submarines might prove elusive though, as one could hardly be expected to dis- tinguish side lights 100 feet under WZltCI'. But, so long as we mind our blocks and tackles, and keep a stiff double luff, we may ourselves be one day classihed ancient mariners and amaze our grandchildren with our salty tales and sea lore. .-1. tp PPB I

Wendt, GMC I During World War II, most of the present class ol Officer Candidates were at just about t-he age lfl2-155 when they would thrill to the war pictures llashed on the screens of their local theaters on Saturday afternoons. Their bodies would throb with excitement as they gazed upon the tremendous geysers of water and earth erupted heavenward by the explosions of tor- pedoes, bombs and artillery shells. It was all so miagnihcent but it was just the spectacle that attracted: no thought was ever given to the destruction and lethal power unleashed by each of the bursts portrayed so glamorously on the cinema screen.
