/galloping XTJG George MILLER, Bouncing John BONVINI, ML, and Crafty ENS Ed
f .KOSTIN, the team trounced a strong Public Works team in'the playoff game, 59
to 41* Starting the third period .with a one point lead, Norm STEWART, UTA3,
Seabastian MATINEZ, PC3, and a half demolished G.I. can rallied the spectat
ors into such a grenzy that the opposition floundered, allowing .the facility
team to surge ahead. Jack PEARCE, SKSN, with his court length set shot put
the game on ice. This win, coupled with Sunday night1 s 62 to 56 win over the
COMMSTA Marines, climaxed a season of 13 straight triumphs and a championship
.team in the facility’s first year of competition.
A slight pat on the. back and a word of encouragement might be in order for
Robert MOREFIELD, ET3. He received orders banishing him from our little' isle
of enchantment and sending him to Rota, Spain.
ENS Jerold TWEDDELL finally gave in to the tremendous social pressures of
the fisland. ' He donned a wet suit and went thrashing in the waves by Lorari
Station. 'He remained in the freezing water just long enough to have about
twenty pictures taken of himself for the fans back home, cature a thoroughly
dead sea lioh and swallow a sizable quantity of water.

Chief BRATCHER is quite vocal about the fact that one doesn’t need a CMAA
badge to recognize him and his position. Of course it might be added that
one doesn’t need that brush below his nose to know where his upper lip is
either...*
ENS Jack BANNING seemed to be chilly one day this week. He wandered around
the facility with his parka on. But since he is usually on his way somewhere
or has just returned, not tdd many eyebrows were raised. Then the word came
through. Commanding Officer, LCDR GLEASON had signed his appointment. With a
flourish and a flash of his green parka, Lieutenant Junior Grade Jack BANNING
unveiled his new half'stripe and dashed madly about with a box of cigars in
one hand and a pay scale in the other. * •
