From,
WILLIAM POLLOCK.
Two other members OF our class
are thinking OF us tonight from their
posts OF duty In serving their coun.
try as enlisted men. These are
Robert Bestul and James Tuffs.
Their presence with us would be
gratifying indeed. but as that Is i'm
possible. we are glad to have one OF
them represented by the following
personal letter;
Camp Kearney.
Linda Vista, Cal.
To the Glass OF rs:
Dear Friends am long way
from Grants Pass tonight but my
thoughts are with you. I am writ
ing Just to let you know that I am
interested In the class and want TO
send all OF you my very best wishes
for great success.
often wish that I could be with
you to graduate, but wouldn't be
willing to give up my present life
for even that pleasure, so must live
the life that circumstances make
me live.
The first few months that I was In
the service was shipped" around
good deal. going from Vancouver,
Wash, to Fl. worden and from
there to Ft. Lawton where we had
three months OF intensive training.
Then our company was moved down
here to Southern California, where
we have been doing work in very
large base hospital.
The first couple OF months the
hospital was nothing more than a
few large tents but now II is one OF
the biggest and most modern hos
pitfalls in any OF the U. s. canton
ments. II Is very nice place to
work but all Of our company is get
ting anxious to get over the pond"
where there is more excitement and
hope that II wont be very long be-
fore we get chance to go.
VIII close wishing best OF luck to
everyone In the class OF 1918.
Your friend.
ROBERT VI. BESTUL.
Every loyal American has been
given the opportunity to do his bit.
Appeals to our nation have met with
READY response. so that we are proud
OF her-proud to say We belong to
such a country. Ever ringing in
our ears are the words. Garry on!
Carry on" As our boys are carry

answer to that command by striving
to push onward and upward to high
: er and nobler things, that. after the
war they may return to a strong
glorious. unconquered people. who
proudly bear aloft the banner oi
Liberty, Justice and Freedom. Oul
instructors have done all in theil
power to instill this spirit into oul
minds, and may our success be theil
: reward.
: All things have an end As at tht
beginning we made our start will
4 the war would that at the end thu
I glorious victory OF democracy nigh
ring out TO all the nations OF tn
r earth, but, II that end is not vet
: still. we go out into the world will
e undaunted faith that peace, liberty
. and the right to pursue happines
F; is invincible and will conquer, an,
: to that end our good class OF 191
