Add to basket11" x 8½". Bifolium, printed all four sides. Pp. 4. Very good: creased at old horizontal fold with additional faint vertical creases; evidence of scrapbook removal to rear edge not affecting any content. This is a rare, illustrated periodical issued monthly by the First Naval District of the WAVES, the Women's Reserve of the United States Navy. The First Naval District was headquartered in Boston and included WAVES units from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It was the first district to induct WAVES of African American descent in late 1944. This issue offers news and photographic images revealing Captain Mildred MacAfee's address to a "large get-together session for enlisted WAVES" in Boston and a spotlight "Behind a Wave at Work." There were personal anecdotes from women stationed in Hawaii, as well as announcements of "regular Thursday night handicraft classes" and the new "source of pleasure in the barracks," a "combination radio-victrola in the lounge." It ran an original poem, news of weddings, reminders of uniform rules, an acrostic puzzle which when solved would reveal a "quotation from something every good Wave should read" and a few charming cartoons. Rare. OCLC shows one holding, at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.
