Tho Naval Facility can boast a mascot* COHMSTA donated a male puppy to tho
crew arid he is adapting very well to life in the green buildings* After he
in a cushioned packing crate* A contest is being held to select a good naoe
for him, although it looks as if ho has been pinned with the name of Ivan "the
Terrible'1 and that this name will stick. Ivan spends a large portion of his
day sleeping and eating and already he has what locks to be tho middle age
bulge* His name appears at the bottom of the chain of commadn chart in tho
Oceanographic section* His rate was 0032 P2 until he was demoted to DCGSu by
CUZZC2T, SCG2, who insists that Ivan's chances of promotion are extremely slim
until he is housebroken*
The other item f significances this week was the Naval Facility basketball
team’s win over the previously unbeaten Aircraft Maintenance basketball team*
NAVFAC1s team rolled down the opposition 'with a 63 to 48 score* Hopes now
are for an unbeaten series* Most of the crew turned out for the contest in a
real display of support for the team*

The crow has been very busy lately working on the "Den of the Forty Thieves"*
Despite the rather forbidding name, it is simply a quonsot that they are
renovating under the vigorous leadership of Chief K. 0. WILSON. Much work has
been accomplished such as .painting, contructing doors and windows and the
beginnings of a refreshment counter* Eventually the "Den" will have bay windows
overlooking Kuluk Bay, a bridge spanning the stream running in front of it, a
barbecue, running water and all the comforts of home. It looks as if it will
be a fine place for the crow to gather during their off hours and relax*
John DONVINI, RM1, is organizing bowling teams to participate in the league
competition* 30NVINI has to do most of his organizing through notes in the
facility plan of the day as his thick Boston accent makes his plan'*- rather
hard to understand for most of the crow that don’t hail from his home town.
