We're wi1lingL These are the words frequently heard in secondary schools nowadays.Young teen-aged fellows and girls are ful- ly aware of the war.They are confronted on every side with appeals,for enlistments,for more defense workers,for patri- otism.But they are too young to be accepted in the service. They are advised to remain in school rather than to join the army of production.They are,therefore,not financially able to meet the requests of the government to buy war bonds and to contribute generously to the U.S.O. and the Red Cross But they are willing and they will do their part. Despite not being able to invest very extensively in war bonds,the youth of our country are serving as splen- did salesmen for the government.Many people have more money than ever before,and when urged by these boys and girls,they rally their resources and make notable contributions. High school students in many places have taken first aid courses,home nursing classes and aircraft recog- nition work.When there was danger of bombing they were an indispensable aid in manning observation posts and centers. Young people have older brothers and friends in the service.They write cheerful peppy letters,and send reminders to those on the fighting fronts that the folks at home are still thinking of them. Many high school youths have obtained part-time jobs.In vacations these students are working as long hours as their paronts,and their work is skilled,professionalg they remember what they have learned in their agricultural and shop courses.Speaking of agriculturo,on the farms of America boys and girls are working as never bofore.In towns they are raising victory gardens on their spare land.Vog- -:L M g pp pTHE CRESCBN2----U---H-8-H-uQ. etables are replacing flowers in gardens all over the country.They are willing to work and they ape working. Collecting scrap has kept many scores of school pupils busy.Scrap metal,old papers,rags,rubber,they gg and gpg them.Tons of'material have been collected and starte on their way to aid the war effort. We must not omit mentioning the little things that young people do,perhaps unconsciously,which help. Saving waste fats,not driving unnecessarily to conserve gasoline,avoiding the black market,using discretion when discussing matters in which spies might be interested,all these are indispensable in winning the inevitable victory. It is the combined efforts of individuals which countsg young people are eager to cooperate. So all over the country,high school students are working with all their might.Where there's a will there's a way. Mildred Hammond THINK BEVORE YGU LEAP It's queer the way things change.The War changes plenty of things.First everyone is peor,working hard for a few pennies--then War--everyone is rich,spending right and left.No one can say that he or she can't find work.But the trouble is,too many people don't try to do what will help win the War--only what will help themselves.The War has done a lot for many people.Oh,yes it has.Look at the outrageous pay and the easy jobs and then say that the War hasn't helped them.What do you think of the person who says,HMy husband and I never lived so well before. With the money we are earning together we have bought and rcfurnished our home.I hope the War lasts for at least seven years. Can you be proud of such people? High school students leave school for these high paying jobs,never thinking of what they are leaving behind.These jobs will not last forevcr.Some day the person with the education will be the person to have the job.A newspaper cartoon explained this when it showed a sign in front of a restaurant reading,uDISHWASHER WANTED A COLLEGE EDUCATION PREFERED.HWe can sincerely hope that nothing of this sort happens.But whatever the situation after the crisis,the person with the better education will have the advantage and will do the most for humanity. If only young people could realize this fact and remain in school as long as possiblc.Instead they talk money,spend money,think money--have money on the brain. ls money worth that much more than education and future happiness2You can do your part in the war effort by staying in school and getting your education. Think before you leap. Althea Berry Qt a , THE QBESQEHI.. MISTER,YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND 'Say that again,Mister3 We high school kids aren't helping win the War? Gosh,Mister,are you kiddin'? What? Sure you saw a gang of us go by your house in my jaloppy at eight o'clock last night. Sure we were laughin' an' havin' a good time. No,we weren' goin' to any show,we were on our way to a First Aid Meetin' in the high school gym. Yeh,I know,you heard we didn't get back 'til midnightg it'was eleven-thirty to be exact. Well,after the First Aid Class was over,we chose committees to sell bonds and collect waste paper. We're competin' with other high schools to see who can sell the most bonds per student. 'Yeh,I get an al1owance,so what? Sure,I buy stamps Goshl D o you think I'm foolish? I haven't taken my girl, Susan,to a movie for agos,'cause I spend my money for stamps but she doesn't mind 'cause she's got a brother overseas. 'Look,Mister,see those girls goin' towards the high school dressed in blue? I suppose you say thoy're showin' off. Yeh,we kid 'em plenty about their uniforms, but they're doin' a swell job with their Home Nursin'Course. 'No,maybo we don't know where all those big names of the battles are,but gosh,Mister,we know just as much as anybody what war moans. 'What's Danny Murray doin'? Yeh,I know,you think he's lazy and doesn't care,'cause he didn't accept the job you offered him to paint your house after school.Well,he isn't,see Mister? His brother,Jimmy,just came back from Italy,blind. You know,yourself,how proud he was of Jimmy. Danny is spendin' his spare time after school puttin' some parts on the wings of airplanes at the factory. 'You know the play that we had at the high school last week? We kids put it on with the help of our dramatic coach an' all the proceeds wont to the U.S.O. We're havin' a Uvictory Danceu at the gym and the money is goin' to the Red Cross. 'No sir,Mistor,wo can't go to so many places an' use so much gas or nothin',but we aren't kickin'l Sure - we have a good time,but we work too--we aren't too young to fight!

In the afternoon we had our annual Christmas Party,but were not as happy as usual because this was the last day that Miss McDougal would be with us.She resigned to join the Waves and we all felt sad at losing her.She was presented with a War Bond and best wishes for hor success in the Navy.

There immediately started a war to the finish between the rest of the school and the Juniors who were considered to have had the inside track from the start. They presented the school with the challenge of a head start of 51000. February 15 1944 The final day of the Bond Drive was a stormy one and there was no school but orders for bonds kept coming in.When final results were tabulated the next day it was found that well over 58000 would be credited to the school and it was voted to buy four jeeps and two field ambulances all which should bear a bronze plaque with the inscription HA GIFT FROM BUXTON HIGHN.

The Carnival was held at Limerick on Washington's Birthday,February 22,l944. We were very much excited until we get there and saw the first hill! It was very steep and some of us decided it was time hill on the be held was skiing slow lin all the ing to retire from the contest,but we found that the other side of the valley where the races were to not so bad.The weather was warm which made the but was more comfortable for those on the side- es. After a hard day of skiing and snowshoeing we were ready for the wonderful supper which was served us in vestry of the Congregational Church. One of the highlights of the day was the crown- of the Carnival King and Queen and the presentation of ribbons. The Town Hall was beautifully decorated in red, white and blue with the thrones draped in white on a small platform at the front of the hall. After the royal procession the runner-up ef the Carnival nBudnChick of Cornish was crowned king as Ralph Watkins of Cornish,the winner,was unable to be present. Thelma Hubbard of Limington was crowned queen of the Carni- val orchestra and there were refreshments of tonic. Time to go home camo all too soon ride home and hard travelling because of and given the honor of presenting the ribbonsi Music for dancing was furnished by Paul Ross' ice cream and but it was long the snow storm which came during the evening. 1. 2. 5. 4.

Our classes started in the winter term with twenty-two girls from the Junior and Senior claeses.At the first meeting Mrs.Romanoff outlined the work we were to accom plish. We were to learn how to keep well by eating the proper foods and taking care of ourselvesghow to recog- nize contagious diseasesgand especially how to care ffgigq for the sick at home. 525 krx Mildred Hammond 3 T was elected chairman of it j in the group and Shirley ixfs ju Anderson,secretary -trea- f'x X,-Trxi surer.

It is seldom that XV!! if 'dx any mishaps occur but I N X if they do we easily - .Wff X find a remedy. Once Xsf ' while Mildred was confined in bed with a hot water Xx,,f bottle it began to leak and both she and the bed 'X were considerably dampened. Xxxa However,she was moved to I X X another bed and the practice i continued. Each girl has made her own uniform,a blue 4 ,' ' pinaforc and white blouse, which sho wears to every class. WK- Miss Irish has now replaced Vrs.Romanoff,and Mrs.Collomy and Mrs.Foyc are her assistants. In closing,we of tho Home Nursing Class wish to express our appreciation to all those who have boon so kind as to loan materials for the duration of the course.

In spite of the same old handicap of playing in a pill-box the boys came through with their usual Buxton spirit and won every game except one. In the fourteen games played our team built up a score of 465 points against a total of 557 points for its opponents.

However they were handicapped by the fact that there were very few on the squad who had ever played basketball before. What they lacked in technique they amply replaced by general good- sportsmanship and the ability to lose with good grace. It is just as important to know how to lose gracefully as to win modestly.Our teams have learned to do both well.

SXQXHKEX' EXCHA NQES MEMOIRS OF THE EXCHANGE TRAVELEH . Because of the shortage of gas and tires I could not make my annual visit to each individual school this year,so I phoned them. The first one on my list was Scarboro High School,Scarboro,Naine. Of course the lines are busy so I went straight to the point and told them what I had enjoyed in their year book,HTHE FOUR CQRNERSH, The snapshots of the men in the service ss well as their letters and poems were very good. We laughed heartily at their jokes and found the entire book 1 splendid one. Next on my list was Camden High Sehool,Camden, Maine. I told them that we thought they had a very out- standing sports section and that their book was especially well arranged. The poem nhoast of Borlinn was excellent. Our one suggestion was that 1 few art drawings might make the paper more alive. As I looked back on my list I found HTHE NAUTILLUSH of Berwick High School,Berwick,haine. Thr jokes and poems were good. Give us some art illustrations. The next member of our exchange group was MTHE SOKOKISH at Limerick High School,Limerick,Maino. We thought they had a well arranged paper and liked their literary department. The call to Standish Maine about HTHE CRIMSON RAMBLERH was more easily arranged. We told them of our admiration for their very artistic cover end literary de- partment,and their maps for service men. Of course the next step in my journey of tele- phone calls was HTHE SOKOKIS HARRIORN at Limington Aca- domy,Limington,Maino. We think they have a very well arran- ged literary department. Following through my list once more I found HTHE BRISTOLITEH from Bristol High School in Pemaquid,Maine.Their poems and literature were especially good.The art drawings at the ond were very timely. Our list would not be complete without NTHE PINE CONEH from Cornish High School,Cornish,Maine. We enjoyed it all. We wish to thank the telephone exchange for being so patient with us. i x ix Yi N Tr XXX' XX fx J siifi X: x 'lfizi - HRX if F' Ny A Q w mv V .f Q ig my E J..w..:.

Each boy has at least one project at home,whilc several have more than one. Enter- prise projects last year had a total net cash value of Q2285.38. The average net cash value per home per boy of these products raised for sale was 51.09. Improvement projebts Cproducts raised for home uselincluded 2 pigs, 5 calves,and 5 vegetable gardens,totalin5 li acres. The chapter of Future Farmers of America was organized this year with the following officers: President Walter Bolster Vice President Erle Leavitt Secretary Gary Van Detuw Treasurer Ernest Pate The Chapter has purchased an incubator,l550- egg capacity,and has already hatched l500 chicks. Another inovation this year is practice in the use of the farm level and of simple surveying. As prun- ing equipment has been purchased for the department, the boys have also had the experience of pruning apple trees. During the school year numerous improvements have been made in and around the Agricultural building. With the aid of the instructor,ehe boys have installed - Y fl a water system on the gTOuPQ floor. Bothcold and hot water are now available. In the fall the painting of the building was begun,to-be cenmleted this year. For the classroom on the second floor,large work tables and a cabinet were made,while chairs and a large cabinet were purchased by the school committee. Mr.Robert Hill of the class of 1955 recently donated a beautiful quartered- oak library to the department. The shop on the ground floor was reorganized,with work benches,teol cabinets, forges,etc.,placed for greater efficiency. A fifteen-week course in Farm Machinery Repair was held at the Agricultural shop this winter,with Mr. Earl Parsons and Mr. Shipman as instructors. The town has purchased a new welding outfit,which is aimaterial ' aid in repairing machinery. Mr.Shipman supervised simi- lar farm machinery repair courses in Alfred and Goodwin's Mills. A course in Training Farm Work Supervisors is new being conducted in Sanford. THQ CRESCENT o Every morning the boys all troup Down the road in a group.

Mildred Hammond PATRIOTIC POETRY IN AMERICA AMERICAN LEGION PRIZE ESSAY FOR 1945 Mildred Hammond '44 I no land of landsgto thee we give Our prayers,our hepes,our service freeg For thee thy sons shall nobly live, And at thy need ghall die for thee.H -Whittier- Thus Whittier has expressed his loyal devotion to his native land. Thounands have similarly expressed their feelings through poetry. Lovers of melody and rhyme will ever give expression to their carnest,heart- felt attachment for fatherland in verse. For the energy and vitality of poetry appeals to the free,democratic American nature. Throughout the few centuries in which this nation has been mulded,talented bards have ever glorified this land in their verse. II UHe gained a worldghe gave that world Its grandest lesson.'OnL Sail ent' -Joaquin killer- Yes,Columbus with his immortal discovery opened the Western Hemisphere. Many a poem such as this stirring one by Joaquin Hiller has been written about him and many more have been dedicated to the lands he brought to light. Following Columbus came the Spanish conquistadores seeking riches,the Elizabethan see dogs seeking adventure,and the Pilgrims seeking freedom. These all were the beginning of a migration of millions from the Old World,a disheartened throng searching for the satisfaction of many varied desires. The native Indians found themselves being deprived of that which was theirs. These conflicting groups-have been the subject of ballads written in those past centuries by our ancestors. Everyone is aquainted with nThe Breaking Waves Dashod High,HHThe Pilgrim Fathersuand other patriotic verses about our staunch forefathers. III JAnd the spark struck out by that steed,in his fligh , Kindled the land into flame with its heat.H -Longfellow- 451 s s THE CRESCENT. C The colonies developed,they expanded,and they revolted against their mother country. Paul Revere rode his famous ride. Hot battles were waged fiercely.The Revolution was fought valiantly and with perseverance. Patriotic poets preserved unforgettable moments in equally unforgettable epics. Gallant George Washington was much lauded by the Whole new nation and by the writers of his period and of later years. Dynamic moments and stout- heartod heroes of our war for independence live on in nConcord Hynnn by Emorson,WPaul Revero's Riden by Leng- fellow,and others. Hewever,although this verse was inspi- rin5,it clung to Old World styles. The influence of the mother country had been too freat to be shaken off imme- diately. With political independence nssured,freodom of verse was still to be acquired. Accordingly,we see,with each new docade,advances in the originality and vitality of the American poetry. IV nAnd the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O'cr the land of the free and the home of the brave -Francis Scott Key- The War of l8l2,which might be termed the second War for Independenco,breught,along with military victories the national anthem,which has become the most inspiring poem'of our nation's history. The thrilling lines have reiterated from ocean to ocean and have pen tratod to the deepest forests and the darkest valleys,stirring Americans to greater bravery and loyalty. V Ho captain,my captein,our fearful trip is done, The ship has weathered every rack,the prize we sought is won. -Wilt Whitman- The weak uncertain nation had developed into a strong mighty land. The insignificant war with Mexico was encompassed by the fierce issue which divided the North from the South. Perhaps the Civil War and slavery question were the cause of more literature than any other issue in our history. The question of slavery was a momentous one, and it required a momentous struggle to decide it. Poetry T which had by this time become fully Americnnized,changed from a purely descriptive to an influencing agency. An enormous amount of poems were dedicated to noble Lincoln and to the brave generals of the Civil War. Walt Whitman, democracy's poet,influonccd by his own brave part,wrote often of the Civil War and its heroes. Julia Ward Howe, William Cullen Bryant,Ralph Waldo Emerson,Oliver Wendell THE 45 Ho1mes,James Russell Lcwell,Edwin Markhsm,and Henry Wadsworth Lengfellow,Jehn Greenleaf Whittier were among the most famous of the many whe,very deeply sti- mulated by the controversy,put their expressions into verse always t be cherished by true Americans. VI nOh,dewy was the morning upon the first of Hayg And Dewey was the Admiral down in Manila Bayg And dowy were the regent's eyes,thoso orbs of royal blue, And do we feel discouraged? I do not think W: doin -Anonymous The principal internal disputes settled,the United States had miner matters to decide with foreign lands,most of which were mrbitrLted,but the Spanish War was e victory of arms for our cause.

Modern reali- stic verse expressed the horrible terror of modern warfare--verses by Alan Seigsr,Joyce Kilmer and Seig- fried S1ssoen,who knew from actual experience what it was like. There were teo,poems dedicated to the unknown soldier,to Wilson,to bravery. Every person in the nation was awnreof the stupendous effect of warfare, and each earnest soul pledged himself to strive for . The peace which should have been a ineffectuwl.

There will be great poets,greater than these who have already contributed their bit and passed on to a better world. Poetry must influence the men and women of the future.Poetry will have a vital place in the present crisis,and,after the troubled years,patrietic verse will still glorify our land. . uLand where our fathers died Land of the pilgrim's pride, From every mountain side, Let freedom ringlu -S.F.Smith 'L as se as as ee A SOLDIER'S DREAM ' Bill was dreaming,enly he wasn't asleep.No,he was just lying there,covered with mud and sweat,but his thoughts were of the things which every soldier considers a dream. - Bill was thinking of hone.

Besides,I knew something terrible was going to happen. I was only eight years old and could not swim. However, I was hurried along and in a short time we were on the beat. It was very boring at first,just sitting there seeing nothing but water. In a few minutes the boat began to slow up and the bell rang. I heard a man saying,nall off for.H That was enough for me. I jumped overboard and began to sink. My head hit something hard and I couldn't get my breath. I knew this was the end for me. I den't knew how long afterwards it was but the next thing I knew I was on the floor with all the blankets and quilts on top of me,and there was a lump on my head.

Mr.Smitz was a very poor man when he lived in Germany and he thought that if he should go to America he might make a lot of money and return to Germany. It happened that he became a very wealthy man in New York in the brewery business. Mr. Smitz had two sons who were born in America. Hans,the elder,was always dreaming of being in the German army. Fritz,the younger brother,wanted to be an American soldier. Their father had forgotten all about returning to Germany and was always trying to persuade Hans to give up the idea of serving in the German army. When the Second World War broke out between the United States and Gormany,Fritz signed up to be a Marine in the American Forces. Hans went to his father one day and told him he had a chance'to leave for Germany to fight whth the Germans. The minute hr. Smitz hoard these words he knocked his sen down and told Hans that he would kill him before he would let him go. One day in North Africa Fritz Smitz was leading a bunch of American soldiers against a small German force. The two groups mot on the top of a small hill covered with brush and sticks. lt was very hard-going for the men. Corporal Henry Drugor,Fritz's best friond,spiod the Germans first. They charged at once. The battle was short and fierce. The American force won. As Fritz looked down the hill he saw two men struggling. He noticed that Corporal Druger was strug- gling with a German soldier. The Gorman had Druger down and was about to thrust a knife into him. Fritz brought up his rifle and fired quickly and the Gorman dropped with a bullet through his head. When Fritz reached the bottom of the hill to help his friend up,he looked at the Gorman soldier's face. To his horror he saw it was the face of his brother.

Why,she didn't usually,but today it seemed as though everything had gone from bad to worse. Ever since she had-come to the orphanage everything had gone wrong. How could people be so cruel! She hadn't dropped that cup on purposo,and yet sho had been sent to her room for the rest of the day. Oh,if only she could get away from this dreadful place. She had tried it once only to be brought back and put under guard. s , IIE CRESCENT A e , eil. Suddenly there were voices in the hall.One was that of Miss Simpkins. Oh,hew she hated her! The other two were not familiar. She heard Liss Simpkins say, nThere are ten girls that I can recommond,but I'm sorry I can't say the same for Mary Hill.n Mary failed to catch any more of the conver- sation and had almost cried herself to sleep when the door opened. Miss Simpkins was still speaking, HBut I tell you,it would be the saddest day of your life if you chose her.n An elderly woman with a kind and compassionate faco,stopped into the room,Pollowed by an eager little- girl. She said,nI'll have my decision ready For you in a half-hour.n Miss Simpkins said nothing but went away muttering to herself. nNell,hello,ny little girl. Why,what's the matter,you've been crying?H nOh no,I haven't. I-I-I mean-I don't think I have. - HWell,naver mind,HoneU.N Oh,she had such a nice pleasant vaicegand she was so kind. Within the half-hour that she and the little girl,Joan had been there Mary had made friends with them both,and she had known real happiness for the first time since she had come to the orphanage. The laly was so much like her own mother had been. As she lived that half- hour all over again,she began to cry. Oh,if only she had her own mother to love her and care for her as this woman loved and cared for Joan. What was that on the floor? Nas it her imagi- nation playing tricks en her? Or was --was it really what she thought it was? Sho bent closer. It was! A real ten dollar bill! Why that lady must have dropped it out oi her pocket-book. She must take it to her at once.And why should she? The lady would never know that she had dropped it here. She had no proof and besides she was rich. She'd never miss one measly little ten-dollar bill. The more she thought about it the more determined she bo- came. And yet--yet,the lady had been so nice to her,this wouldn't be quite fair. Miss Simpkins had said she could not be trustedl Nell,she'd show her! With tear-stained eyes Mary walked into Miss Sinpkins' office,5ave her the bill and started to leave without a warQ,when a voice broke the deed silence. Hoeary,ceme here.n Without knowing just what was happening she walked ever to the pleasant lady who gave her one of her pleasant smiles and said,HHow would you like to live with mo? ' nOh,you must,you must.'Hcried Jhan. HCan,I come with you now?H Mary could hardly believe her ears.Were her dreams to come true after all? 52 THE CRESCEMT. F ' ' Q... nYes,right new.n NThet--that-was your money.n nYes,I know.U V As the three of them walked to the door,Mrs. Graco turned to Miss Simpkins and seid,nl knew I could trust her.H Althea Berry OF LIFE A dog whose peaceful eyes caress his friend, SWeet,gentle music--dreamy--without end, Werm,brillient sunshine blessing all the world, A bsby's golden hair in ringlots curled.

Vinetta Kelley 5 4 . r He is almost always in the front lines carry- ing messages or delivering surgical dressings or other things. He is always in the thick of the battle,dodging bullets and big shells,risking his own life for other soldiers. He has the job of bringing the wounded in off the battle field. At night when he needs rest,he sleeps heavily inhis tent. When morning comes it is always good to have his pan of food passed to him. His manners might be bad but what is the difference since he must eat in a hurry and get back to his work. His feet might get sore from half-running,half-walking and half-trotting over the battle field,but he must push on. This kind of soldier can not protect itself as well as some soldiers can. He is often fierce and has a strong will set on doing a certain thing. He has to keep warm in the cold by his own body tempera- ture and almost always does so by being on the move. A bullet may just miss his head or his shoulJer,or even one of his legs but he is not scared. When the battle is over he may get a medal for bravery for being one of the first soldiers tc show what he and other soldiers like him can do in the WAGS. Eugene Steeves I ::?Z,...'f..

S 56 .I .f?HlLHEE5EHT., s We are introducing a new department to the Crescent this year which we hope will be of interest to our readers. So many of our boys are in the service that we have asked the student body to bring their letters to be printed in the Crescent. We have no intention of slight- ing any one. If a letter from your favorite servive man is not in the paper it is because we have no letter from him to print. Perhaps another year may see this department enlarged. We hope you like it. VISIT TO A NATIVE VILLAGE Harold Smith Six of us,including the Lt. in char5e,left the company area at X with enough rations for three days. We hiked through the jungles,across a small river, up a steep hill and on through the path for an hour and a half. This brought us to a clearing on the top of a hill which overlooked the native village of N ----- ,the lagoon beyond and the innumerable islands that stretched into the distance. Lt.nChrisH and SQt.HHedgeH gained contact with some of our men on permanent duty close by there and then we started making camp back in tho jungle a Way. Everythiny was quiet that nipht. The next morn- ing nChrisn and nwedgen went with some native guides to the B ------ River some distance away across a mountain. They returned all O.K. but in the meantime,Johnny came out from X to visit for a while. He and I left and wont down to the native village. N ---- is unoccupied at the present. All of the natives live on another smaller is- land. They moved there after the Japs took over this is- land,for their protection. Now they may move back again but I don't know. N ---- is really beautiful. The lager part of it is on a hill or ridge that runs parallel to the water front. Down on the beach are their canoe houses and work shops. These are all empty except for a broken war canoe here and there. All ef their canoes are hand-hewn from logs. It takes them about six days to make a canoe twelve foot long. They are very well made and look sleek and slender as they are sent silently and swiftly through the water. Back away from the waters edge the coral ends abruptly and the green grass begins. Also the ridge starts its upwards slope in about the same place. The slope is covered with nut treos,pineapple bushes and some flowers. On the way up Johnny and I found a ripe pineapple so wc had our fresh fruit for tho day. . Cn the top of the ridge is a large clear grassy area with the thatched huts placed neatly about. When N ---- was occupied it had a population of o 0132 GBESQENT e e 57 about 250 or more.. There are quite a number of houses all of which are built on stilts to keep the floor dry. The religion of the natives is Roman Catholic. They have their own native Upadren and teacher. ' The church or mission is also the school.This building is constructed of grass and poles. The outside dimensions are about 50 ft.by 60 ft. The thing to marvel at is the fact that there ere not any nails in its structure. All of the timbers are hand hewn and tied in place with vines. The reef and walls are thatched while the floor is made of pieces of split bamboo,each piece being tied to the sills with more vines. T ' ' Going on past the church the hill starts down once again. The walk hero is lined with stones,some of which are carved into figures. Three of them are the head and shoulders of a native. They are very well done or seemed so to me at least. The walk leads down to the coconut grove and further on to the dock which is another construction by hand. It extends into the water about 60 ft. and is made of large pieces of coral. The top is covered with finer pieces of coral to make it smooth. Here again,by the dock are some more canoe houses,work sheds and other structures for supplies. Up in the back of the village is their garden which they still tend. Their gardening consists mostly of paupauia K a cintaloupe-like plant growing on treesl, corn fit looked very good but wasn't quite ripeD,a potatoe like plant CI don't know the namoJ,some sugar cane and of course the pineapples. Most of the natives are fairly well educated. Of the four that were our guides,CDanielle,Sule pronounced Sully,Isaac and Sethla JDanielle speaks and writes best. Sunday morning we worked a bit on some mapping. Sunday afternnon we broke camp,went down to the dock at N ---- and started back to X with our four guides in one of their 14 ft. canoesgfeur natives,six of us,and all our equipment. It was beautiful coming back. We had seen the lagoon from up on the hill and new we get a fishers view from the water level. The islands were covered with jungle growth. The trees extend into the water and are covered with vines and other plant growth. Our guides each had a paddle and they used them with ease during the whole hour and a half trip by water. We get tired with equal ease so had to take turns at paddling. Well we are back at X new and everything is going along as usual. 4 Best wishes to all ........

I never saw it rain so much in all my life as it rained during maneuvers .... ......At present I am station- ed at Camp Forrost,but don't expect to stay there long as I guess we will soon be leaving the good old U.S.A. ...... ........ Speaking about basketball,the girls of two local towns played a game in the big sports arena here at Camp Forrest. It was good. Of course anything that girls are in is O.K. as we are all such a pack of wolves. ..... ......... The people here in the South seem very friendly,a lot different than I thought they would be as one hears so much down here about the war between the North and South. I guess the Civil War will always live in the minds of the Southern people.........I suppose the winter sports are all over by now. I bet the Winter Carnival was a lot of fun. I remember that the small one wo had last year was. .........Boy,will I be glad when this darn mess is over with so that we can get back home and have some real freedom. ........It is getting near time for chow or to a civilian time for Sunday dinner. I think we are having chicken for today,ceeked the South- ern way. ..... We are new a part of the Second Army and will be until we move. Camp Forrest is one of the Second Army's biggest training centers. I am still in the Anti- Aircraft Artillery. I had my basic at Fort Bliss,Texasg have just completed four weeks of maneuvers and will be stationed at Camp Forrest for a while yet. ......... . We have included a letter from Miss Harjorie McDougal who left us at the close of the Winter Tern to join the Waves. Being a Wave is a wonderful experience. The girls whom I have met have such a splendid spirit and are so determined to do the best they can to help in this all-out war effort! Most of them have someone in the service--for instance one of my room mates has a brother at Guadalcanal in the Marines,the other has two brothers in the Navy,a boyfriend in the Army,and a fath- er in the Merchant Marino. Probably there are some who came into the Waves for the thrill they would get out of wearing the uniform or the travelling but they are few and far between. ' Our study here is very secret and we are unable to mention most of the work outside of class. We have one class behind locked doors and all the papers we write THE csEsGENT 59 have to be burned after the class. The textbooks are kept in a vault in the cellar and we fool as if we were sign- ing our lives away when we take one and sign for it, The courses hero,as in Northampton,seem to be so interesting that we hardly realize we are studying. I hope that feeling lasts for two more months. At last I will have to learn to type in the accepted manner and will probably have difficulties.Tho Navy insists on the touch system and the McDougal system is not that. Also the Navy typewriters are not exactly like the standard ones. I expect to spend all my spare time typing for practice. New I have to muster in the hell for dinner. I lon't know exactly why they check attendance before a meal because I hwrdly think any of us would miss one, we'ro usually so hungry by that timo,but they do and you just don't question thinps in the Navy. Scott Field What a dayl Blue sky,no wind and a blazing sun. I just came in from churoh,went to a bij Evangelist meeting in St.Louis with a boy who is a great singer ani church-goer. The meeting was held in the Municipal Auditorium. It was a regular old-fxshion d revival meeting. School is still a snap here. My code speed is now 25 words por minute and my average grade is 99. We are building a receiver. After that we start a radio operating procedure in flight. After we finish this course in June we go somewherelprobably Texasj for further training. After that I should get Q furlough. Then after three years of trial and orror,ups and downs, and this and that,Pfe.Anderson should be on his way. Am willing to bot that something will come along and throw a monkey-wrench into the middle of those well- lail plans. As well as I like here I don't look forward to staying here until July. I sure went to get along as fast as I can. I wouldn't be surprised if Carl were sont along soon but I just hope you won't let it upset you,Mother.
