Every m a TJ seemed to have cooperated to his fullest extent in doing his part to put the ship in a state of material perfection. Short handed as we were, the HOUSTON Thursday pL'esented an excellent appearance. This splendid ~ pi)' it of whole hearted cooperation is the thing that make each and every one of us proud to say, " the HOUSTON, that's my ship". G. E. Baker Captain, U. S. N. Commanding ..-- e- THE S1'.\ TE FLOWER OF TEXAS --::-- From time to time, members of the crew are heard asking-" Why is the ship's paper called ' The Blue BonneL' "? Late in 1930, when the ship's paper was becoming a reality, a poll was helJ for the purpose of selecting a name for the ne'. v- born service paper. 1any and var'ed names were submitted. Since the HOUSTON is named after the largest city in the State of Texas, it seems only proper to select a name pertaining to that great tate. With this thought in mind the selection committee elected the name of the State Flower, the " Blue Bonnet". An excellent selection ince it is truly representative of the state just as the HOUSTOJ. is the proud bearer of the name of one of her greatest cities. ( Continued on Page Four) --::-- The " Blue Bonnet" in behalf of the otficers and men of the HOUSTON wishes to take this opportunity to welcome aboard and wish Vice Admiral Tarrant, his Staff and the Flag Per' onnel, a happy cruise.
