During every day of the pa t Comp
titive Year each one of u tried in
what we thought was every way pos'
ible to keep that white HE" on our after
stack. From experience we realize
there were some things we might
have done to further economy which
weren't. At least there is immense
satisfaction in the knowledge of a job
well done. The HOUSTON placed
third in her class and that is far from
the bottom of the list. The two Heavy
Crui.. el" S placin~ first and second are
of the newer type.
There is some reason for presuming
- though no conclusive proof- that
this type of cruiser ha' the edge on us'
in p1: lnt design in ' ofar as economy is
concerned. This year should tell the

dass of the same or similiar type,
~ H well as several newer ones, and this
i., no mean accomplishment.
There has never been a time since
comm] " sionng that the Rambler Ship
has been on the bottom of the heap;

near it, is tradition with us. Let's
keep her there! All that we need do is
to continue the c1o" c cooperation which
has become second nature with mo t
every man in the ship. We mean by
thal: Engineering Officers, Firemen,
Chiefs amI other Petty Officers in the
Engineering Department may be topnotch
experts but they can't put an
" E" on the stack unless all hands
in the ship lend a hand.
We start the new year with our
new Engineer Officer, Lieut., ommander
V. L Davi · . His predecessor,
