J. PFEIFER TELLS ABOUT SOUTH SEAS By Airmail, From Somewhere Overseas August 30th, 1944 Dear Mr. Gleason, When I left school, you said you jv ould like to hear from me and I >ave not forgotten you, although it has taken me quite some time to pet settled enough to write any letters. I have travelled marty thousands of miles since I left Flagstaff and this tropical heat is a far cry from the snows and cold I left behind in Arizona. I th ink I have almost forgotten what snow looks like by now. This is a life very different from the one I had while under the Navy V-12, but now after a few months of sea duty I am beginning to like it. Someone once said that this salt air gets in your blood and I am enclined to agree with him. What little time I have already spent overseas has been an education in itself. I have learned to do business with the natives and have even learned a few of their words. We have landed in some places that were very beautiful, somewhat on the order of the pictures you see in travel folders. A cohple of the places resembled much the background seen in those South Sea island movies. I will admit, this is more dangerous. more by far, than by duty tn Flagstaff. Now and then we have a little argument with Tojo's boys, but that is one thing I do not worry a bout I sunpose you are still enjoying ’la vie" at the Monte Vista and still teaching Uncle Sam's boys the finer point* of drafting and descriptive geometry. Naturally I would like to be back there in your class again, b u t Fate seems to have willed it otherwise. I hops this letter finds you well and that I may hear from you soon.

"Silvery Moon" Theme For Formal Dance Saturday Night EX-LUMBERJACK IS MARINE LIEUTENANT QUANTICO, Va.. Sept. 21.— Marine Lieutenant Calvin Russell Baker, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin R. Baker. Sr., of 1105 Douglas Avenue, Las Vegas. New Mexico, has been graduated from the Fifty-Second Reserve Officer Candidate's Class, Marine Corps School here. Lieutenant Baker attended A rizona State College, Flagstaff, where he majored in history, prior to enlisting in the Corps Ju ly 1, 1943. He joined the Officer Candidate’s Class April 1, 1944. His brother, Private First Class Henry’ M. Baker is also serving in the Marine Corps. With the possible exception of the tremendous amount of work in volved and the superb formals vorn by the Buryites, the dance at Bury Hall Saturday evening was reminiscent of Saturday nights at home in the living room when Mom and Dad put cotton in their ears and let the younger generation make a night of it. Old Bury was scrubbed, waxed id scintillating under a synthetic moon on which the silhouette of “boy meeting g irl" stood out cfearly. Bouquets of asters and gladiolas with bowls of meek-eyed pansies transformed the living room into a fittin g background for the stary-eyed gals and the wide-eyed V- 12ers who “tho the music stopped they kept on dancing.” A coke bar with plentv of iced coke, potato chips and olives was a popular spot and at twelve the Navy established a beachhead at Nick’s where Molony, Mike and Anne “Dished O u t’’ hamburgers like professionals. A vote of thanks for Mrs. Buse was proposed as the last reluctant V-12er was literally pushed out the door at 12:55 explaining how he had been taught in the Navyr “utilization of the smallest bit of tim e.” Clever programs showing the same motif shown in the moon, designed and executed by Mike and Cullie, were handed out to the fo llowing couples: Aileen Aiken and Bryan Colberts, Melba Cullers and Clarence Cullimore, Joyce Colter and Roy Green, Gail Gibbs and Dale Bradley, Mary’ Elizabeth Jack and Beverly Molony, Carol Lun t a n d ' Frank Landvatter, Genevieve McDowell and K ing Frey, Anne McNeil and Darryl Kaun, Velma Swan and Bobby Black, Stella Kavathas and Torrex. James Meehan A /S Writes About Storm In The Northeast The follow’ing is an excerpt from letter written by James Meehan A /S after his experience with the recent storm which struck the Coast of Northeastern United States. He was a member of the Meteorology class last semester and wrote this for the special benefit of the present class. “I ’ve been thinking of writing rou ever since the hurricane which tas been traveling up the East Coast hit us here in Asbury Park. I thought maybe you'd be interested in getting a little first hand information. We weren't hit too hard here. A lot of damage has been done and quite a few people are homeless. From what I hear over the radio the damage has been pretty intensive all up and down the Coast. “I dqp’t think we were anywhere near the center of the storm but yesterday about 6:00 p. m. I tried walking (against the w’ind without much success. It was the first time I ’ve been able to lean in an almost horizontal plane without any visible means of support. The rain was blown along horizontally to the ground with such velocity that it stung like a hail of small pehblcs. The wind broke windww without much trouble. ‘The Berkeley Hotel, where I'm stationed, is located about 100 yards from the ocean. My room is on the seventh floor facing away from the sea. I spent most of my evening hours last night across the hall. We had a good view of the ocean, which was really on the rampage. The tides were so high that huge waves broke about 200 yards upon the shore. Right in whs* you might call our front yard. There is a layer of sand everywhere today. "This morning^about 2:00 a. m. my company was called out to patrol the beaches. We were supposed to look out for fires, electrical shorts, thieves and anything else .we could find. The queerest sight I saw in all the damage caused by the storm w n s i j m r e steel safe sitting in the street about 75 yards from the nearest building. Our classrooms, located nearer the ocean, are shambles. More fu n ! ■ “For two days preceding the hurricane, the relative humidity was, I guess, just about as high as i t could g e t Clothes wouldn’t dry and clothes left in the closets would become damp. I ’d like to have seen a barometer. “ Right now there is a cool breeze blowing. I t is raining a little. A ll in all it was some experience and 1 hope I ’ve given you some idea of what happened here.” E. R. POWELL SERVES IN INDIA THEATER N EW D E L H I, IN D IA — For the past nine months Edwin R. Powell has served in the China Burma India Theater of Operations. Corporal Powell, who attended Arizona State Teachers’ College, is the son of Mrs. Ruth Powell of 1842 North Mitchell Avenue, Phoenix. Prior to induction, Powell was employed as a photographer by the W ar Department. Now he is attached to an Ordnance u n it along the Ledo Road, rugger highway which American Engineers have pushed through the iungles of Assam, close on the hells or Lieut. General Joseph W.

J. PFEIFER TELLS ABOUT SOUTH SEAS By Airmail, From Somewhere Overseas August 30th, 1944 Dear Mr. Gleason, When I left school, you said you jv ould like to hear from me and I >ave not forgotten you, although it has taken me quite some time to pet settled enough to write any letters. I have travelled marty thousands of miles since I left Flagstaff and this tropical heat is a far cry from the snows and cold I left behind in Arizona. I th ink I have almost forgotten what snow looks like by now. This is a life very different from the one I had while under the Navy V-12, but now after a few months of sea duty I am beginning to like it. Someone once said that this salt air gets in your blood and I am enclined to agree with him. What little time I have already spent overseas has been an education in itself. I have learned to do business with the natives and have even learned a few of their words. We have landed in some places that were very beautiful, somewhat on the order of the pictures you see in travel folders. A cohple of the places resembled much the background seen in those South Sea island movies. I will admit, this is more dangerous. more by far, than by duty tn Flagstaff. Now and then we have a little argument with Tojo's boys, but that is one thing I do not worry a bout I sunpose you are still enjoying ’la vie" at the Monte Vista and still teaching Uncle Sam's boys the finer point* of drafting and descriptive geometry. Naturally I would like to be back there in your class again, b u t Fate seems to have willed it otherwise. I hops this letter finds you well and that I may hear from you soon.

"Silvery Moon" Theme For Formal Dance Saturday Night EX-LUMBERJACK IS MARINE LIEUTENANT QUANTICO, Va.. Sept. 21.— Marine Lieutenant Calvin Russell Baker, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin R. Baker. Sr., of 1105 Douglas Avenue, Las Vegas. New Mexico, has been graduated from the Fifty-Second Reserve Officer Candidate's Class, Marine Corps School here. Lieutenant Baker attended A rizona State College, Flagstaff, where he majored in history, prior to enlisting in the Corps Ju ly 1, 1943. He joined the Officer Candidate’s Class April 1, 1944. His brother, Private First Class Henry’ M. Baker is also serving in the Marine Corps. With the possible exception of the tremendous amount of work in volved and the superb formals vorn by the Buryites, the dance at Bury Hall Saturday evening was reminiscent of Saturday nights at home in the living room when Mom and Dad put cotton in their ears and let the younger generation make a night of it. Old Bury was scrubbed, waxed id scintillating under a synthetic moon on which the silhouette of “boy meeting g irl" stood out cfearly. Bouquets of asters and gladiolas with bowls of meek-eyed pansies transformed the living room into a fittin g background for the stary-eyed gals and the wide-eyed V- 12ers who “tho the music stopped they kept on dancing.” A coke bar with plentv of iced coke, potato chips and olives was a popular spot and at twelve the Navy established a beachhead at Nick’s where Molony, Mike and Anne “Dished O u t’’ hamburgers like professionals. A vote of thanks for Mrs. Buse was proposed as the last reluctant V-12er was literally pushed out the door at 12:55 explaining how he had been taught in the Navyr “utilization of the smallest bit of tim e.” Clever programs showing the same motif shown in the moon, designed and executed by Mike and Cullie, were handed out to the fo llowing couples: Aileen Aiken and Bryan Colberts, Melba Cullers and Clarence Cullimore, Joyce Colter and Roy Green, Gail Gibbs and Dale Bradley, Mary’ Elizabeth Jack and Beverly Molony, Carol Lun t a n d ' Frank Landvatter, Genevieve McDowell and K ing Frey, Anne McNeil and Darryl Kaun, Velma Swan and Bobby Black, Stella Kavathas and Torrex. James Meehan A /S Writes About Storm In The Northeast The follow’ing is an excerpt from letter written by James Meehan A /S after his experience with the recent storm which struck the Coast of Northeastern United States. He was a member of the Meteorology class last semester and wrote this for the special benefit of the present class. “I ’ve been thinking of writing rou ever since the hurricane which tas been traveling up the East Coast hit us here in Asbury Park. I thought maybe you'd be interested in getting a little first hand information. We weren't hit too hard here. A lot of damage has been done and quite a few people are homeless. From what I hear over the radio the damage has been pretty intensive all up and down the Coast. “I dqp’t think we were anywhere near the center of the storm but yesterday about 6:00 p. m. I tried walking (against the w’ind without much success. It was the first time I ’ve been able to lean in an almost horizontal plane without any visible means of support. The rain was blown along horizontally to the ground with such velocity that it stung like a hail of small pehblcs. The wind broke windww without much trouble. ‘The Berkeley Hotel, where I'm stationed, is located about 100 yards from the ocean. My room is on the seventh floor facing away from the sea. I spent most of my evening hours last night across the hall. We had a good view of the ocean, which was really on the rampage. The tides were so high that huge waves broke about 200 yards upon the shore. Right in whs* you might call our front yard. There is a layer of sand everywhere today. "This morning^about 2:00 a. m. my company was called out to patrol the beaches. We were supposed to look out for fires, electrical shorts, thieves and anything else .we could find. The queerest sight I saw in all the damage caused by the storm w n s i j m r e steel safe sitting in the street about 75 yards from the nearest building. Our classrooms, located nearer the ocean, are shambles. More fu n ! ■ “For two days preceding the hurricane, the relative humidity was, I guess, just about as high as i t could g e t Clothes wouldn’t dry and clothes left in the closets would become damp. I ’d like to have seen a barometer. “ Right now there is a cool breeze blowing. I t is raining a little. A ll in all it was some experience and 1 hope I ’ve given you some idea of what happened here.” E. R. POWELL SERVES IN INDIA THEATER N EW D E L H I, IN D IA — For the past nine months Edwin R.
