LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIES WERE MULTIPLIED RAPIDLY WITH THE XO'S NEW PROGRAM, AND HELENAMEN FOUND MANY CHOICES OF ENTERTAINMENT. ON BOARD, WE COULD PLAY BINGO OR WATCH THE EVENING MOVIES, JOIN THE NEW SHIP'S BAND OR SING IN THE POPULAR CHORUS. ASHORE, SPORTS OF EVERY KIND WERE OFFERED FROM FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL TO SKIN DIVING. WITH ENTHUSIATIC SUPPORT FROM THE CREW, THE PROGRAM PROSPERED AND BROUGHT MANY PLEASURABLE HOURS TO US.
