Ells street, studies a ship's wheel and compass in a class room at the UIS Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Illinois. Roney, a member of Champaign's Naval Reserve facility, is receiving a 2-week's special 'boot training' that presents the highlights of seamanship, gunnery, firefighting and military drill taught to regular Navy men in 11 weeks of 'recruit camp.' At the end of the reserve recruit course, Roney will return to civilian life. Next year he will take part in more advanced training aboard one of the ships in the Great Lakes squadron."
