TEEN-AGE ROUNDUP

Tuesday was a day the schoolhas long been awaiting. The year-books arrived! ! ! The yearbook hasa green leatherette cover and isvery beautifully done. Everyone isbusy writing notes and names andthere is still much excitement.

Last Wednesday was the muchtalked about day for the seniors.This year, for the first time, theseniors had a "skip" day. Theyloaded steaks, potato salad, rolls,soft drinks and themselves into aweapons carrier and a jeep. In theparty were Boo Thomas, Joan Mc-Neal, Ramona Sparks, Bill Ro-moser, Al Havard, Pete Broughton,Jack Murphy, Caesar Pina, Mrs.Broughton, and Inman, the driver.Arriving at Yateras River, that'swhere they were going, they builta fire before starting to explorethe place. No sooner had they at-tempted to forge the river thanthey became stuck and a little time,fun, and effort was used beforemanaging to become "un-stuck."After this everyone went swim-ming. The boy's, naturally, hunga rope from the trees and it seemsthat monkeys were seen flying backand forth over the water. Whenchow time rolled around the boysdid the honors by cooking thesteaks and, I understand, they werea work of art! ! There was plentyof fun and food. It seems the girlswere initiated by having water-melon rubbed in their faces, hairand eyes. Oh well, boys will beboys! !

Just before heading back forthe Base the gang took anotherswim at the beach. Half way backit started to rain and when theweapons carrier became stuck allten of them piled into the jeep.That's right, all ten in one littleol' jeep. "Still, to this day, thereis much talk of the wonderfullywet time they all had.

O'ER THE TEA CUPS

By Betty Radcliffe

Well, the Carnival is gone againfor another year. It seems to methat the children's costumes andthe floats get better every yearand it must have been very difficultfor the judges to reach a decisionthis year. I think everyone looksforward to these carnivals, in spiteof the hard labor involved in mak-ing them a success.

I once read somewhere thatmothers learn to appreciate teach-ers on rainy Saturdays. Summervacation is just around the nextcorner and the neighborhoods willbe swarming daily with cowboys,indians, circus performers, gangs,etc. Remember you were a kidonce yourself!

The Couple's Bowling Leaguehad a party at the home of H. A.and Mrs. Dunlap on Monday the7th, Harry Dunlap was celebrat-ing his birthday. The other leaguemembers surprised the Dunlapswith a "going away" gift. TheDunlaps expect to leave for dutyin Jacksonville about the 21st.

Speaking of bowling; plans arebeing made for the banquet of theLadies Bowling League. Watchnext week's Indian for the list ofTrophy Winners.

Mr. and Mrs. G. D. MacMichaeland their son, George are busymaking plans for their vacation.The MacMichaels will leave herethe last of this month and fly toNew York, where they will catcha ship to England. They will visitrelatives in England and Irelandfor about two months. How I wouldlike to stow away in one of theirtrunks!

LITTLE THEATRE

The curtain will go up this weekat the Little Theatre on "Harvey",Mary Chase's famous three-actcomedy, long awaited by the per-sonnel of this Base.

The cast and crew of "Harvey"have had their ups and downs, butthrough it all "Harvey" is nowready for production, and promisesto be the Little Theatre's best yet!The cast (Sally Tuckett, Anne Ol-son, Milt Baker, Irene Whitehead,Maria Feeley, Jim Gagliano, LloydNelson, Ray Giddens, EsthereTyler, Chuck Rockett, and CharlesTuer); and the crew (Jeanne Tom-linson, Soc Scandalis, Louise andJohn Naureckas, Bill Smith, HughReinhoff, Gerry Wright, SylviaRockett, Pally Parish, Don Jacobs,Jim Pringle, and Flo Jacobs) haveall worked hard and deserve a voteof thanks. They have spent manylong and arduous hours in order tomake a production that you peopleon the Base will enjoy.

"Harvey" is the most difficultproduction the Little Theatre hasattempted to date, but judging fromthe rehearsals this reporter haswitnessed, it promises to be a bigsuccess, and well worthy~of praise.

"Harvey" will be presented Tues-day, Wednesday and Thursday, the15th, 16th, and 17th of May at theLittle Theatre on Marine Site 3.Curtain time is 8:00 p.m. Ticketsare now on sale, at 500 each, atall Exchanges. The Little Theatrehas a seating capacity of only about300, so get your tickets early andbe assured of seeing a really fineplay.

Scientists in Chicago announcethe development of coffee in cap-sules. They say the capsules dis-solve in hot water leaving abso-lutely no taste. But you've probablymade coffee just like that yourselfwithout bothering with capsules.

O MARINE MUSINGSBy CPL W. A. Bechtel, USMC

The 1951 Gtmo Bay Carnival isover for another year. Competitionon the floats was very keen thisyear and even though the Marinefloat received no prize it was stilla top entry in our estimation. Mosteveryone stopped by Gunny Evans'shooting gallery to take a crackat the birds and win a cane. SSGTWalton E. Mero called the numbersat the bingo concession. The veryfirst bingo prize went to Mrs.Charles Pitts who received a kitch-en clock. Sure looks like a shadydeal! Or was it a consolation prizefor not winning the Chevvy thisyear? Mrs. Richard Fecteau alsowon a lovely prize, a set of can-delabras (or something?).

The final group of men fromMCB-1 to receive refresher mili-tary training here at Marine Bar-racks leave today for their regularassignments on the Base. Duringthe past few weeks four groupswere trained by Marines of thisPost, in phases of Drill for Foot

C.P.O. CLUB NEWSBy E. S. Robinson, SKC, USN

There is at least one good laughduring each business meeting, andeven though Chick Sales is themost popular author easily re-called we must admit that thereare two wives on the Base whohave a sense of humor or elsehave reached desperate straits, thefollowing note is quoted verbatimfrom the suggestion box openedMonday, 7 May, with fictious names(can you guess the identity of themen?); "Please kick Chief JOEand Chief MOE out of the clubeveryday and night, too; the Mis-suses". What, and lose two spend-thrift members' business? ? ? ?

We must admit that the two menmentioned above are steady cus-tomers, and very pleasant to havearound, we're on the side of Joeand Moe! They, among otherChiefs, drop around and suggesttheir ideas to the club, get alongwell with shipmates and probablydraw others to the club because oftheir fine disposition. That is verytrue of many men of the Base. Itis noted that the atmosphere hereis fine for the men-now we want toget a note from the men saying,"Kick the wife out, etc." . . .

The members of the Board ofGovernors are concerned with thetransportation of men and familieswithout automobiles on the Base.If any member or family groupis without transportation to theClub and desires transportationplease call the Duty Chief at 9-664for our truck. This truck is foryour use as well as club business,and during working hours businessis pretty well cared for; so duringany open hours the truck is avail-able for transportation of themembers. The truck is providedwith seating capacity for largeparties and our drivers are pleas-ant and will be polite.

Please note the suggestion boxes,these are used pretty often togood advantage. Each suggestion(when signed) is considered fordiscussion by the Board of Gover-nors, though very often some mem-ber will be alert and anticipate theBoard of Governors' action or sug-gest ideas that have been discussedin order to make the club a betterorganization. Do you have anysuggestions that are kicking aroundwith idle contemplation? Put 'emin the box, with your signatureand box number, we'll be glad toread and discuss all suggestions. Ifyou think it is likely to point toyourself as being funny forget it.Some of the suggestions are boundtoot-do your own-no use boast-ing to yourself-there are bettercomics than you!

The Girl Scout Brownies wonfirst place for beauty with a cleverfloat, the theme of which was theUnited Nations. The children weredressed in native costumes of thedifferent countries of the world.VU-10 was awarded second placefor beauty with a float depictinga Navy pilot, who had ditched hisplane at sea, in a rubber life-raft.Also shown on the float was Ki.gNeptune, Ruler of the Deep, anda lovely mermaid over-seeing Nep-tune's domain. Another float, wor-thy of mentioning, was the entryby the Marines. The theme fortheir float was, "On Land," "OnThe Sea," and "In The Air." A biground of applause was received byevery float entered in the parade,all of which were really wonderful.

A sure sign of knowing howmuch fun was had by all can beseen in the amount of sandwichesand beverages consumed in thetwo day period. 7,500 hamburgers,2,500 hot dogs, 700 ham sandwiches,5,000 popsicles and 10,000 softdrinks were consumed by the,evidently, hungry thrill-seekers.

The carnival came to a close withthe drawing for the grand-prize,which was eagerly awaited for byeveryone. The big prize, a 1951Model Bel-Aire Chevrolet auto-mobile was won by Mr. Manolo,who works at the Snack Shack atthe enlisted men's swimming pool.Mr. Manolo was present when thewinning ticket was announced byCaptain Parish, Chief-of-Staff ofNOB, but literally too over-joyedto make a statement or express hissuprise at being the lucky winner.He had purchased but one twenty-five cent chance. H. L. Bacon, PIC,218 Newtown, won and earned th!second big prize of $500.00 forhaving sold the Lucky completebook of chances.

A complete report on the amountof the contributions for the variouscharities will be announced in thenear future by CDR Metzger, ofthe Naval Supply Depot, who hasthe strenuous task of figuring upthe expenditures and profit forthe carnival.

It is only be-fitting that everyonewho took an active part in makingthis year's carnival such a grandsuccess receives a "pat-on-the-back" for a wonderful job.

As the ship approached roughseas, a Scotchman asked what todo to prevent sea-sickness.

"Have you a shilling?" the cap-tain asked.

The Scotchman carefully pro-duced the coin from his purse."All right," said the captain."Now hold it between your teethuntil you land."

Recently completed by PublicWorks was the street lighting sys-tem along the main road from thePier Baker area to the MarineBarracks. The crews have nowmoved to the north road which runsbeside the north side of the FleetRecreation Field. Lights are to beinstalled at specified intervals onthis stretch of roadway and, ifpossible, on the road that runs bythe south side of the Field. Thenew lighting system has proved agreat safety aid to both pedestriansand drivers.

The Navy Construction Battal-ion has given a face-lifting tothe Power Plants by erecting new,permanent type fencing aroundthem to replace a lighter, and lesssturdy, type of fencing which hadpreviously encircled the Plants.

New curbing is being constructedon the main road at the entranceto the Naval Station Lyceum andNavy Exchange Store. Sidewalksare also planned for the samesection.
