Australia. It is great to receive letters from pals." Arthur has been in the service for 28 months, twelve of which he spent in the Aleutians and twelve months jumping from island to island in the Pacific. The only buddies he has met are George Fullick and Charles Smith during the invasion of Guam.
S 2/c Anthony Romano of Maiden Lane, former all-scholastic football star at Waltham High School wrote in a recent letter to his family: We were given a Liberty in Panama City. It certainly seems strange. The streets are very narrow and re- mind me of Chinatown in Boston. The people are of many nationali- ties including Spanish, Chinese, Ne- gro, Portuguese, and Panamanians. Spanish is the language spoken." In another part of the same letter Tony also said, "I finally saw some snow on the peak of a mountain in Mexico. It sure did look good."

February was a very significant month to get started with this en- terprise as you will note in our heading of this issue. Washington, the man who stood for truth and liberty, Lincoln, the man who stood for freedom and equality of rights, and St. Valentine, the saint of heart affairs. All born this month, they represent the things you are defending and this paper which feebly bridges the gap be- tween the little town, the folks at home and you.

Baker 3 /c William MacArthur wrote in a letter to Rita Palmer:
Since I last wrote you I have done a lot of traveling. I picked my ship up in Pittsburg, Pa., pro- ceeded to New Orleans, La., then to the Fanama Canal and on to California. From there we went to Hawaii and Guadalcanal. Then we had our first invasion which was Palau Islands. We had a bit of ex- citement there. We proceeded to New Guinea and missed the Inva- sion of
the Philippines. We did however hit the Philippines. In the same letter Billy asked if Rita was one of the many females who have taken up pipe smoking. He said he heard it is quite a popular custom around here now. Rita would like to say to Billy and all the other service men that the girls in Cochituate have not yet taken this fad seriously.
A. O. M. 3/c Joseph Lee Strafuss wrote in a letter to his mother, Mrs. Bartberger of Lake Path: "I arrived safely at my new Air Base and have resumed my duties with my bomber squadron." He also said the chow was very good there.
We hope the winter scene on the front page satisfies S 1/c Anthony Romano's request for picture a from home with snow in it. A lot of you fellows in the tropics want to see some snow. Hope you will be just as anxious to shovel it when you get back here. Everyone has had plenty to shovel this past week.
Jackie Smith was Fritz Schlosky's Sgt., and there were times over there when Sgt. Smith wished he never knew that boy Fritz who seemed to meet so many people from home. Being the sociable type Fritz made appointments with the boys he met. Whether or not these appointments coincided with
his time off Fritz always kept them. The Army, having a nasty custom of punishing those who go A. W. O. L., never found out about it, thanks to Sgt. Smith.
Traffic Stalled
Perhaps Frank Wiggin thought we were lucky to have so little snow, but the only luck attached to it was that most of us had a day off, that is, if you can call
shovelling snow all day, having a | But our voices fail and our faces
day off. The Boston papers say it was the heaviest snow storm in 30 years. Traffic, on the Boston and Worcester Turnpike, was at a stand still for 24 hours. The B. & W. R. R. Co. had 17 busses stranded all night and they sent no buses out all the next day. The B. & A. had three trains stalled in Framingham all night. The passengers had to seek shelter in the Police Station and in the Memorial Building. Chuck Potvin and his crew did such a good job of cleaning Main Street, Cochitu- ate, that the M. & B. buses were able to get back and forth to Na- tick.

The Letter Somebody Didn't Write
It ain't the heat nor the blistered feet,
Nor the meals of Spam in place of meat,
Nor the butter like lard, nor our turn at guard.
None of these is one-half as hard As the jolt we get, after all the sweat,
And a cheery voice says, "No mail yet.'
And it ain't the breeze, like a drag- on's sneeze,
That peels the hide and weakens the knees,
Nor the dirt in your gun, nor the broiling sun-
These are forgotten when day is done,
pale
If we draw a blank when it's time for mail.
We can stand the flies and the sand in our eyes,
The orders, the rumors, the truth and the lies,
The mosquitoes' swarm and the water warm,
And the wards that reek of chio- roform.
What takes our fight and makes throats tight
Are the letters somebody didn't
write.

If Al doesn't get home pretty soon, Jeanne will have to plan on building a trophy room just to keep all his souvenirs to- gether.
Russ Thomas, who lived on Stan- ton Street for many years, is now in Australia waiting to be assigned to new submarine. Apparently Russell has seen plenty of action because the submarine he was on was sunk sometime ago.

High School News
By Margaret Lawrence
Due to the big snow storm our school vacation has been moved up to the week of February 12. Conse- quently, school news is brief.
Wayland High has been well re- presented at the Junior Town Meeting of the Air programs, Sat- urday afternoons. Bob Hardy, Al- bert Sanderson, Margaret Ide, Hope Bradley, Dorothy Harriott, and Margaret Lawrence have spoken during the question period at vari- ous times. Our fame will really be established February 24, when Mar- garet Ide will represent us in the discussion on Governmental pro- vided employment for post-war
high school graduates Hope Brad- ley will be the able alternate.
If you boys don't think we on the home front have battles to fight, you should tackle some of those senior history assignments.
From Wayland High School I am following your exploits with the greatest of interest. My best wishes to all of you wherever you may be. Yours sincerely,
MAUDE E. MERRITHEW
It is wonderful to be able to say, "Bonjour" to each and every one of you and to tell you that you are constantly in my thoughts.
Sincerely yours,
MARION SIMPSON
The last three games on Way- land High's schedule, return game with Southboro, return game with Weston, and game with Westboro, were cancelled because of a change in the school calendar which was a result of the recent heavy snow fall.
It is the hope of every Wayland player that these games will be played in the near future.
Wayland High School has won the last three games they have played and hope to end the season with six victories to their credit.
The referee Joe Daniels formerly taught the seventh grade in the Wayland Grammar School. Joe is now teaching school in Holden, Mass.
