Dear A Wey: ? *
I guess you thought I had for
gotten about you and the High
School, but to prove that I
haven't, I have written my life's
history and included in it my
High school history as I saw it
they. Seriously I realize and ap
preciate now mare than ever
what you did for me. I guess a
guy doesn't really realize who
his friends are and what they
are doing for him until he is
gone, t had foolish idea that
what I learned was for your
benefit and not mine. I realize
now that I was sadly mistaken.
I believe now though that the
greatest education a man ever
gets is when he wakes up and
realizes what he doesn't know
rather than what he does know.
I hope you are having a good
school year. And I wish the foot
ball team all the luck in the
world.
Tell all the faculty and stud
ents that I said "Hello." I like the
army very much. I am taking
training to be a tank driver
which i< really a lazy mans' Job
and I guess I am well suited for
thai Remember how I used to
grumble over the chow in the
lunch room? Well, brother, I
would really like to have one of
those meals now.
We had a contest here in our
company last week. Everyone
wrote hi! life's history and the
one who was Judged first won a
prize. I thought you might like
to know that I won first prize.
Well, I guess I had better
close for now as Uncle Sam in
sists upon my being in bed at 9
o'clock. Tell all the boys to
study hard and when thky get
away from home they can write
My voice Is my

Biology Newt
Each student taking biology
this year is responsible for rais
ing one plant and one animal in
the biology laboratory. The stu
dent will make a special study
of the plant and animal, which
he has chosen. Three beneficial
things should come from these
individual projects: X. The indi
vidual student will become ac
quainted fully with a plant and
an animal, 2. Students who have
difficulty in learning from a
textbook will be given the op
portunity to learn through ob
servation and participation, and
3. The planta and animals can be
used by the classes in their
group studies. i
Many of the students have al
ready developed a great deal of
pride in their plant and their
animal.
