I.H.S. ALUMNI (continued) Teddy J. Salazar writes in part: . . . Ifm on a hospital ship down here in Pusan. As for my work in the Army, well you don't have to have a good education to be able to fire a rifle. So far I haven't had a chance to put my education to work ... I graduated in 47. - . . . . - P.F.C. Henry Alire wrote: - . . . For your information, I graduated with the class of 1950. I was class poet. My education derived from the Ignacio High School has helped me acquire higher scores in Army tests . . . . - Andy Duran, PN3, USN tells us: - ... My scholastic studies while attending Ignacio have been very beneficial to me as an individual and to the U. S. Navy as an organization. As a student I gained knowledge of fellow mankind with which we work, and of the Government under which we so proudly live and serve. There are many other benefits that I gained while under the leadership and guidance of the faculty of Ignacio, which are too numerous to list at this time . . . . I have one regret however, and that is that more of my time was not devoted in the mastery of a foreign language. Actually as I think back to 1949, the year in which I ended my studies, it has not been too long a period of time . . . . - Here is some of Louise Waller's letter: ... As you know I won the scholarship up here to Mesa and so during the summer I made up my mind that I could stand some more education and so here lam. Iam studying Business up here and I really enjoy it. There really isn't much difference in the type of studying I have to do now than when I went to high school. The only thing is that I have to study up here and really study hard . . . . - Louise graduated in 1951. Jimmie Jefferson writes: . . . My stay at Ignacio is one that I will cherish for a long time .... It was a school of friendly attitude and my achievement was great. What I have learned at Ignacio helps me quite a bit while I attend college .... I graduated from Ignacio in May 1951.- Thank you for your very nice letters and we hope that the rest of the alumni wherever they are are getting along fine.
