work day gen-
e r all y runs
from 8 : 00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m.
During his
leisure time he R. E. Kuhns
plays s e c and
base with the battalion baseball
team, and guard on the battalion
b isketball team. Accompanied by
tw,3 friends, he recently set out
to collect some sea shells, and
of this experience he wrote:
"The shells are located out in the
ocean anywhere from 25 feet to
500 feet, on the coral reefs. Most
of the time they hide in little
holes about six inches inside the
coral. When swimming, you must
ca,, ry a knife for security, a div-
ing mask, plus a six-foot spear.
You must also rear shoes, so the
coral can't cut your feet, as the
coral is poisonous. On one end
of the spear there is a hook with
which to hang onto the coral
when you dive beneath the
breakers, which are always over
Your head and are sometimes
eight feet in height. L> nless you
hold on underwater, the waves
may throw you 10 to 15 feet
towards shore. While ducking the
wares, you look for the shells.
As my reward for all that work,
I found 25 shells, and saw some
V the most beautiful fish a per-
son has ever seen."
