GUY
He was so homely that his mother tried to throw him away and keep
the stork. (now -- you tell one!)

NEW
SAWBONES
The Medical Staff has been strengthened by the addition of Dr. E.
Evans Chambers, Lieut. (jg) USNR. He
is a quiet chap who knows his job, and is a credit to his profession. Unassuming in manner, when pressed he reveals a number of
interesting personal qualities. Graduate
of Oklahoma University Medical School, he received his premed education in
the public schools of Oklahoma City and at the university.
Prior to enlistment in the Navy Medical Corps he practiced medicine
in Enid. His assignment on
the SUMTER follows a trick at the Naval Air Training Center, Norman, Okla.
Lt. Chambers was a 3-letter man in football during his days at the
U. He also states modestly
that he “belonged to a couple of fraternities.”
He has been appointed ship’s photographer, having procured
additional equipment to officially record the “doings” of lady
“Lucky SUMTER.” There is
a little doc in the Chamber’s family who bears the name, E. Evans
Chambers, 3rd. Mrs. Chambers, the former Virginia Hudson, has been a guest
aboard the SUMTER.

CLIP
ARTIST

mates, and officer’s cooks. Necessary
tools, together with 1 quart of formaldehyde, are in his possession.
The latter is for instruments, not for pates.

NO SALE
A pretty girl, a young widow, and an old maid, living in the same
house, were expecting gentlemen guests.
Before the guests arrived the three gals were comparing notes, and
each agreed

upon
meeting the following morning they would use the word “Morning” for
each kiss received during the previous evening’s engagements.
When the pretty girl came downstairs she said brightly, “Good
morning. It’s a nice
morning this morning.” The
young widow, who was already seated at the table with the other boarders,
looked up and said sweetly, “Good morning, good morning. If tomorrow morning is as pretty a morning as this morning
we will have a nice morning tomorrow morning. “
Then the old maid came in. She
said, “Howdy, folks.”

SAILOR
IN WASHINGTON
“Hey Mack, I’ve found a place to sleep.
Plenty of room and running water.”
“Hooray,
where is it?” -- “In the gutter.”

IT
MUST BE FATE
“Yep,” said the native, rearing back, “I was born right here
in sunny Cal.”
Cheer
up, Bud, queer things happen elsewhere, too.

THOUGHT
FOR ANY OLD DAY
“Do not think of your faults, still less of other’s faults; in
every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong; honor
that; rejoice in it, and, as you can, try to imitate it; and your faults
will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.”
Ruskin

RED
SHIRT
Rumor has it that the Fire Marshall is saving his gift piece (same
being at present non-regulation) for the next time he goes deer hunting.
Well, anyway, the shirt is red enough to guarantee his safe return.
After the good job he has done in overhauling our fire equipment we
don’t want to lose him to any deer, no matter how you spell it..
----------------------
PROMOTIONS
The latest All-Nav accomplished some changes in rank on the SUMTER.
Several half-stripes have sprouted here and there.
January promotions among enlisted men numbered 46.
Well done, SUMTER. Our
“sperrit” is beginning to show results.
