I sure did enjoy seeing all of you all over in Orangeburg last Friday. Sorry that I did not get to see you all more but it looked like that there was something to do every minute of the time. Think that Sister looks fine and hope that she will like Greenville and stay healthy up there. Was glad to see Aunt Muriel but knew that she was going to cuss me out. Just after you all left I went ritht [sic] back to the fair and immediately caught all the hoochie goochie…..then I found David and the boys and we went on a few rides. David and I went on one and stayed upside down the whole time. I twas really fun but did not last long enough. We all then went up town -- ate supper -- and got some dates and went to the dance. It was sure a swell dance. Saw a lot of my old friends. To top the day off we raised cain on the train coming back and I enjoyed the whole day except walking from the other side of King St. back here to the Citadel. The chicken was really swell and I made big friends with the conductor by giving hime [sic] some. It was raining so Saturday Morning that we did not even hear the bugle. I’m not sorry tho [sic] because that extra hoursand [sic] a half sleep sure did feel good. After general leave was declared David and I went with Kenny Renken in the jeep out to his plantation fifty miles out of the combee River. It was an awful day and we did not get to do any hunting but I enjoyed getting out for the day. They sure have a nice home out there. The trip was really swell but the jeep was a little rough and used two quarts of oil. Bobby, Louie, Jim Haynsworth, and Scott all bummed home last Saturday. I didn’t know that they were going but probaly [sic] wouldn’t have come home with them anyway because of the foul weather. Scott brought back his pick-up and invited me to go home with him on [illegible deletion] Sunday but I had some studying to do. I [illegible deletion] studied Sunday morning and then went to the Show that afternoon. Bobby and louie wnt [sic] along with David and I. The hope is in about two weeks and then we come home for thanksgiving Furlough. Don’t think that I will have anyone down because theres no one I’m interested in at the time. Or as pop would put it -- theres no one interested in me. Maybe I can get a date with some local gal. Better close now and do some studying because I am not doing so good this quarter in any of my subjects. Write me, Son Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In this essay I will try to to [sic] pass to younger students of highschool some practical advice about this period of life. The first and foremost thing to do in your younger days of high school is to have plenty of fun. I do not mean that books should be neglected but I mean that student [sic] should have fun while studying. A student in his first years of high school should get a great deal of exercise. He should play all the games that his high school engages in and try to develop skill so that he can make the varsity team in the preceeding [sic] years. The student [Page 2] Should also engage in all other exercises that he gets enjoyment from. These exercises should build muscles and make for coordination. Some of these exercises are fishing, swimming, hunting, and golf. In all sports the student should participate either from the side lines or in the game with the best show of sportsmanship. Having fun does not consist of physical exercises only but also includes developing skills in certain things. The student should have a hobby such as tinkering with old Fords or radios which produce mechanical skill. If the students hobby is music or art he should take lessons and try to be profecient [sic] in them without fear of being called a sissy. Other forms of fun are picture shows, camping, dancing, parties and such things that pleasure can be obtained from. Such things as these are fun and have a lot of educational value also. The student should enter into all school activities, [illegible] activities, and such things that his friends enjoy gladly because they make ones personality better and provide for what some call [Page 3] A liberal education. While at school in classes the student should pay close attention to the disscussion [sic] and ask questions about things he does not understand. If the student pays attention in the classroom there is very little outside work to be done. The time saved by paying attention int he classroom should be spent in reading books, newspapers and listening to the radio. All of these are educational and prepare one better for the future. In picking his subjects in high school the student should take as many subjects as he can carry without bad grades. He should pick subjects that he likes but should also take some of the hardest courses which are good mind trainers. The student should try to take the courses that will give him a general knowledge on all subjects. To sum things up in a compact form my advice to younger students is to have fun because you are only young once but also get an [Page 4] Education because it will make things much easier and provide for more fun later in life. I pledge my honor on a gentleman that this theme is entirely my own work. W. A.
