was held in the home of Bonnie Merrill, with Louise Krapes and Kathy Toal helping as
hostesses. Twenty guest attended to bid farewell to two of our Adak friends, also
several new friends were intorduced to old timers. Unknown to the guest, a tape
recorder was on while the party was in progress, and it was a surprise to everyone
when it was played back. Again, Lucky Jane won the door prize.

school annual. They would like to thank: Mr. Olinger, for allowing them to have it
at the Exchange; Mr. Tozer, for staying with them through the day; the Fire Dept., #
for the use of the fire hoses; the kids who pitched in and helped wash cars; and a
special thanks to all, who donated to the year book by having their cars washed.
CPO AUXILIARY: The Auxiliary, Thursday night, had as speaker, Chief Stratton, of the
Meat Dept. Service Team at the Navy Ship's Store Office. His discussion of the
^fcommissary problems, generally, and the problems of handling and preparing frozen
meat, in particular, proved most interesting and informative. Chief Stratton has
volunteered his services as speaker for other organizations, and he comes highly
recommended by all who heard him Thursday night. We welcome two new members, Simone
Groff and Marjorie Hogan, and visitor, Marcella Findley. New committees were appoin
ted for the new term.’ The door prize was won by Mrs. Boynton. Bingo prizes went
almost exclusively to Mrs. Groff, however, whe thoughtfully limited herself to three
and allowed two other winners, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Handlin. Libby Caldwell and Alice
Lippert served refreshments. The new officers heaved a sigh of relief, first meeting
successfully conducted and concluded.
