Letters from Home and Abroad To: Miss Gorman From: Frank Del Vecchio S Zfc Fire Control School Col 7I9 Coddington Point Newport, R. I. I have a confession to make. I thought high school was tough, but the Navy homework and test make high school seem like grammar school. The amount we learn in four weeks of high school, the Navy gives to us in one week, We can't fail in one test, without being debarred from one week of liberties. To: Miss Gorman From: Edwin A. I-Iollien U. S. Naval Training Station Newport, R. I. One thing I shall always be glad of is that I waited until I was sure of receiving my diploma. I know that it is a very necessary thing to have. To: Miss Gorman From: Raymond Murphy U. S. Naval Training Station Sampson, New York Tell all of your pupils to stay in school until they graduate, they won't regret it. To: Mr. Bailey From: Albert Krasner Camp Croft, S. C. I imagine you are still teaching camouflage. Well, take my advice and make the fellows learn it. lt comes in mighty handy in all branches of the service, Down here, where I am, in the Heavy Weapons Divisions of the Army, we have to camouflage our tents and trenches. To: Miss McCarthy From: Vincent Comardo Room 2l has really contributed some heroes to the present conflict and one of the greatest of them all-Bill Northway-will live on in his classmates' memories forever. We hope to avenge his untimely death and I'm sure that every loyal Centralite will regard him as the symbol of democracy. To: Miss Gorman From: Private Daniel Paolino Army Air Forces Basic Training Center Greensboro, North Carolina. l suppose you will have a new class next term. If you do here's some sound advice for them. Take all the Math they can. Figuratively I could kick myself for not having heeded your advice about more mathematics. Our supposed course here is to be of five months' duration. The subjects covered will be basic and advanced mathematics, reading, Eng- lish compositionforal expression, physics, and also laboratory physics. Our English course is a concentrated course in writing themes. I'm doing extremely well in this field of composition, Tl-IE KIND OF LETTER A TEACHER LIKES TO RECEIVE Dear Miss McKenna, It's the usual custom for students to gradu- ate from high school and then forget most of their former teachers. l'Il admit l've forgotten a few, but I will also say that you will always be the outstanding teacher in my memory. I often think of you, and hope you are feeling well. Right now I am in India, and although I do not enjoy the thought of being here, I'm getting along pretty well, considering the intense heat and many bugs, etc. I'd like to let you know something of my military life but we are unable to make any reference to our work. I-Iowever, I have a nice job that is most interesting, and that I like very much, I'm anxious to get home, but I realize that won't be for a while, At least I can look forward to it, anyway! My sister was married the twentieth of September to a young Ensign in the Navy. She had been going with him prior to his entering the Service. Do you remember her? There's not much you can write in a V-Mail letter, but at least I had the chance to say hello to you across the miles. Do not feel obliged to answer this letter. I know you must be very busy. Take care and best regards ever- Sincere best wishes, Alfred M. De Augustini We should like to receive more letters like these from boys in Service.
