CALM 0lfL A PLEDGE FOR TOMORROW Lijfe's jeweled cup with glittering gems, Rich wine with ruddy glow, But flash and gleam above dark dregs Of bitterness below. So peace, which for one blissful hour, May brightly, purely burn, Yet at the next be smothered out, To cold, gray ashes turn. Most dismal do these thoughts seem now As we behold the past, How can we realize sweet hopes, Establish peace at last? . Letis pledge to forbears brave and proud, To youth in lifeis ascent, That Faith, Gocl's Love, and shining Truth May reign omnipotent. RUTH DALE '44 Page 21

rom ow ana! Wear Excerpts from Servicemen I have been places since the last time I wrote. I was in Italy just about long enough to visit Naples a few times, and I also paid a visit to Mt. Vesuvius. England is the best place I have been in so far overseas, mainly because I do not have to sleep on the ground anymore. We live now in comfortable metal barracks, fifteen men to each. We have wooden beds with hay matresses. A small coal stove supplies us with heat. The first one out of bed in the morning lights the stove. Right now I am wondering how long my patience can endure. I am going on a nine-day furlough, and I am waiting for my com- manding ofiicer to sign my furlough pass. I am going to spend most of my time in Scotland. It is the first I have had since I have been in the Army. Pfc. Peter Sa England Well, I made aviation radio school and I am going to start classes Monday. The course sounds difiicultg 20 weeks radio and radar, then 8 weeks ordnance, then 3 months operations. I like it here very much in Jacksonville, and there are several U. S. O.'s here. The regulations here are very strict, but I get along very well. In classes down here, if you close your eyes to yawn, you miss several questions on your test at the end of the week. I would really like to see that student talent assembly in school. I bet it's going to be good. Good luck on your jeep campaign. I hope you reach your goal. Milton Fuller '44 Jacksonville, Florida There is a native village nearby which is very amusing. It has been rumored that some years ago they were savage head- hunters, but now they are quite civilized and even speak some English. They respect the American uniform and sometimes, when they see us, they throw us a high ball tslang for salutel. Their dress is very comical. They wear a cloth around their waist, and the native women wear grass skirts. They have a mass of bushy hair, some have brown, black, and even red hair. A few days ago I ventured into the jungles and mountains. The jungles are so thick that sometimes we cannot see our hands be- fore us. It is more work to beat up the tropical insects than it is to hack the trail through the jungles. It was tough going scaling the treacherous mountains. After spending an entire day out there, my curiosity is gone. The things I missed I will take for granted from now on! Pvt. George Fontaine Somewhere in New Guinea Page 22
