We saw the smoke from Pearl Harbor rolling toward us, writes a Franklin boy stationed at Hickam Field, Hawaii, in recounting the events of December 7, 1941. Excerpts from his letters show the grow- ing war clouds in the Pacific, the secret and deadly strategy of the Japanese, the swift, culminating blow. They also show the thoughts of boys in arms, when, far from friends and in the midst of war, they look toward home and school. Co. A , Casual Detachment Ft. Macdowell San Francisco, California November 30, 1940 Dear Mother and Betty: Well, here I am over 3,000 miles from home on the way to Hawaii at last. I left the 13th of last month aboard the Army transport, Hunter Liggett. Hickam Field, T. H. February 6, 1941 The other night I was over at Waikiki Beach about which you have no doubt read. Standing there I could see the moonlight out on the Pacific and hear the waves on the beach accompanied by the sound of the wind in the palm trees. I could see the lights of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and hear the music to which the rich tourists were dancing. It was really beautiful. And there I was with just enough money in my pocket to get back to the post! Ah, me! . . . April, 1941: It does look as if the war were getting closer, doesn't it? It may be that Hawaii will be in the thick of it. I doubt that Japan will be able to defeat us in the Islands, for we are strong .... June 12, 1941: I found the 4'Franklin Gazette very interesting. It was nice to read about what is going on at dear old F.H.S .... July 13, 1941: I wish I could have hopped into a Clipper and flown home for the graduation exercises and Class Night. But, of course, that is impossible. I am very much interested in the Franklin Gazette. It helps me to keep a finger on the pulse of F.H.S., which I want to do. I am glad to see that you are going to have the column I spoke of. It will do much to improve the paper, I am sure. Next year I intend to have copies of the Gazette sent to me from the school .... August 7, 1941 : First off, I want to reassure you in regards to the Dial. It arrived a couple of days ago. I can't say how happy it made me to review my years at F.H.S. through the medium of the Dial Thanks awfully for mailing it to me .... September 6, 1941: I can picture how anxious Betty is to get back to school. It is only when you are in your third year at Franklin that you really get to like the old place. To be frank, I wish I were back at F .H.S. myself. I had a letter from Sox Seabold the other day, so I still am in touch with you all, you see. By the way, thanks for the clippings. October 2, 1941 : I have written a letter to both Mr. Wheeler and the Gazette No doubt 1
