Dwight Alexander and Kenneth Sherman entertained during the election of A.T. Mahan High School Student Council officers on May 13. The officers for the 1971-72 school year are Jon Armbrust, president; Janet Harley, vice-president; Loma Hyman, secretary; Bonnie Niedert, treasurer. DKs checking SSAN number One of the biggest topics of conversation in recent months has been about Social Security Ac- count Numbers (SSAN). The military services for some time have been talking of convert- ing the military service numbers to the SSAN system. In preparation for the Navy's move on this conversion, the lo- cal disbursing office is now double checking all SSANs to en- sure they are correct. Persons can stop by any time to have their numbers verified. This requires an on - sight check of the cards. If you have lost your card and need a replacement, the DKs will help you obtain one. Meal times to change as galley shifts hours The NATO base will be cutting hours in galley 755 after six p.m. on Monday, May 24. The daily hours will remain the same. The only change will be a 10 to 12:45 midrats meal. There will be no 7 to 11, or mid- night to 5 meal periods. Midrats will be for watchstanders and shift workers only. Each man must be in uniform, and will have to present a specially issued pass, from his division while on watch or working. Weekend hours will remain the same. This change is to help cut down on expenses, and to provide better service at scheduled meal times. School lunch menu • Monday — Frankfurter on bun, cole slaw, choice of soup, orange juice, cookies, and milk. • Tuesday — Ham salad sand, w/lettuce, chicken noodle soup, tomato juice, chocolate pudding, and milk. • Wednesday — Com beef hash, macaroni & cheese, toss salad, grape juice, peaches, and milk. • Thursday — Hamburger on bun, veg. soup, grapefruit juice, jel- lo, and milk. • Friday — Beef stew, butter- ed noodles, orange juice, ice cream, bread & butter, and mi.lk. 4 What have you done for your neighbors? How many times have you voiced your opinions about living I here? Have you ever complained? I know I have, in fact several times; but what have you done about the things you don't like? Have you tried to find out why they are like they are, or have you tried to help make life easier on the station? In the two years we have been living here, we have seen some changes and all of these are for the better. The most important change is the friendships that are being developed between the Icelandic people and the Americans and their families. The scouting program which is becoming more active is helping the children not only with all the spare hours they have, but with becoming better acquainted with Icelandic children. If more adults would volunteer a few hours for the young people, not only would they be helping to improve things, but they would make their lives a little better in the process. The care that is given by the few doctors and their staff is really amazing. The most amazing thing seems to be the way the dependents treat the staff at the dispensary. They might find a "thank you" or a "please" would really help. Every week the commissary has a better selection and the special orders which are being taken are one of the biggest improvements we have seen. When you stop long enough to think of the problems which must be overcome to get merchan- dise here, you will undoubtedly thank the commissary for the job it is doing. "I can't find anything in the Navy Exchange," seems to be the favorite expression on the station. Have you tried the special order clerk? Have you made a suggestion? Have you asked yourself if you have given the exchange a chance to please you? Have you ever gone without any of the things you needed for very long? If you think life up here is terrible, ask a few people who are here on their second tour how much it has improved and then see how much you can do in your tour here to im- prove the morale on the naval station. j Joyce J. Goldy May 21, 1971
