MY EXPERIENCES IN KOREA
I disembarked in Korea,
March twenty-sixth, and
was immediately sent into
the battle zone. I was put
into a rifle company, the
army's main fighting men.
Canned food, along with
anything else that was es
sential, I carried in my
pockets or on my person,
had to be left behind. Wa
ter was obtained from
streams mostlyj if avail
able, from a water trailer.
An open hole in the
ground was the bed at night
and each hole contained
two men. In each foxhole
someone had to be awake at
all times during the night,
ready for an attack. Usu
ally I would watch for tvro
hours while the other man
slept^ then I would wake
him and he would watch in
his turn. During the day,
I was in the attack.
After seven months of com
bat I was lucky enough to
get five days Rest and Re
cuperation leave in Japan.
A month after I returned
to Korea, I stepped on an
enemy land mine while on
patrol in enemy territory.
Seriously wounded, I was
evacuated by a helicopter
to a hospital 30 miles
back* After being treated
there, I was sent to a hos
pital ship in South Korea.
I spent ten days on it;
then I was flown to anoth
er hospital in Japan. Heal
ing sufficiently, I was
transferred to another hos
pital in South Japan to
recuperate, liiJhen I left
there, I was ready for ro
tation to the States. I
was flown from Japan on
January twenty-fourth to
arrive in California on
the twenty-sixth.

OUR GENERATION
Tomorrow's world will
rest upon the shoulders of
our generation. What re
sponsibility do we have
for the future? 1/Jhile we
are preparing ourselves
for the future, we should
alvrays have the following
question in our minds: How
can I, as an individual,
be of service to humanity?
What we may do today will
determine the future of
our country and the vrorld.
Let's not destroy humanity
by destroying our own
lives. With courage and
faith we should build our
lives to meet any obstacle
that may confront us.
Do not wait lontil tomor
row to build the future.
Begin now with your own
life.
LESTER BISSETTE, '50
Several of the students
attended Willmington's
annual Azalea Festival,
March 28-30,
Members of the State
Health Department came to
Bailey on March 27 to
check on the lunchroom,
toilets, wastepaper dis-
posal^ and water fountains.
Because there is no pri
vate toilet or lavatory
for lunchroom workers, and
because of the cracks in
tables and lack of storage
space, the lunchroom did
not receive an A rating.
The men representing the
Health Department specific
ally stated that the pre
paration of food and cook
ing did not lead to the
below A grade.
The agents said that only
the ice cream boxes, re
frigerator, and stove
could be moved into the
new lunchroom.
