Ardmore and Carter county have a
right to feel proud of Robert Luther
Randol, who was born and reared In
this city and who is now chief sergeant
of the End Battery at Fort Logan II.
Roots, Little Rock, Ark. He is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. r. w. Randol of this
city and enjoys the distinction Of being
the only Yale graduate who has enlisted
for service in Europe from Carter coun-
ty. Mr. Randol was graduated from
the Ardmore High school, he spent two
years as a student in the Oklahoma
University and his grades were so good
that he entered Yale University and
has Just been graduated after four
years of hard work in that institution
with a B. A. degree. At the first call
for troops made by his country he made
a quick response. He first came home
for a brief visit with his parents and
then he hurried to Fort Logan II. Roots
to join the officers reserve corps to
accept whatever assignment was given
him.
Mr.. Randol is not without gratitude
for the sacrifices his parents have made
in his behalf in keeping him in the two
universities for a period Of six years
and gratitude is virtue that never
fails to find a way to success.
Following is a letter which he has
written home that contains sentiments
so fine that they are worthy Of pro.
ducing here:
