to stari home. Fellows that had never seen more salt water than that in Wollaston Bay found themselves being tossed around in those typhoons and monsoons they’d heard about in the few weeks the ( lass spent on the southwestern Pacific. Many others had some of the mysteries of India and the Orient solved for them during their visit.” All realized sooner or later that there were many things cultivated in Japan other than silkworms. While our Quincy boys were off to the wars, the girls who felt so inclined, joined the women’s services. Tfie WACS, WAVES. SPARS. Women Marines, Red Cross, and all important Army and Navy Nurse Corps received a good I number of Quincy girls. Many of them traveled the ‘ Stales and foreign coun- tries. writing back stories and adventures as seen from a different angle. Many other Quincy girls stayed at home writing letters, taking over the innumerable jobs left open, and waiting for that day to come when the boys would return again. Then one by one stories appeared telling the harrowing tales of prisoners who had been released after having spent months of the war in concentration camps dreaming ol Quincy Square on Saturday night and the soda fountain in their favorite drug store. Soon redeployed became a much used term. More stories of the release ol starved, lifeless men were found, and then the final peace. No sooner was the word official than When can I start home?” became the topic ol interest More rapidly than expected, Quincy's missing numbers began return- ing to the buses, streets, and even to the classrooms. Quincy men returned the same boys that wiggled out of homework and kidded with the teachers, a little older, a little wiser, but essentially the same. And now as they pass down Cod- dington Street driving the family car instead of the two and one-half-ton affair they’ve been used to, they look at the building wistfully and say to themselves, Gee, I had fun there!” Rlth Fandel page mne
