Navy Relief Society officials believe this to be the largest single class in the organization's history. As a result, Navy activities throughout the Monterey area can boast of having the heaviest concentration of qualified Navy Relief workers in the world.

Rear Admiral Edward J. O'Donnell, Superintendent of the Postgraduate School, commended the group during graduation ceremonies of the Navy wives preparing to serve in the Navy Relief organization when their husbands leave Monterey for new assignments.

Navy wives from NPGS, Naval Auxiliary Landing Field, Monterey, and Naval Facility, Pt. Sur, Calif., were invited to participate in the course. The large number who accepted created a critical shortage of baby-sitters. Sponsors of the course, all previously trained at other commands, organized a baby-sitting program for 187 youngsters during the course period.
