Enclosed is a check for my ex-student
dues and my contribution to the "Sande-
fer Memorial Building Fund". My work in
the Women's Army Corps has been exceed-
ingly interesting. I received my commission
at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa, and was stationed
at the 2nd W.A.C Tng. Ctr.,-Daytona Beech,
Fla. from November 1942 until January
1944, when I was sent to Ft. Oglethorpe,
Ga. I am an instructor in Officers' Can-
idate School and Intermediate Officers'
School. I truly feel our corps is doing a
great work to bring about a speedier vic-
tory in this terrible struggle. It is always
wonderful to get news of our "old gang",
so keep up your "morale building". Gladys
Foley, 1st Lt., W.A.C., 22nd Regiment,

- Please find enclosed my Alumni Dues. I
l think they are somewhat late, and, would
- appreciate your advising me when they are
i due again. Dallas is a swell place, but sort
e of big for a 'country gal' like me. However,
r I have a very interesting job which brings
me in contact with many people and also
has secretarial duties connected with it. I
am working af Procter and Gamble 'though
r I actually don't personally make soap, cris-
r co or glycerine. Mother has been forward-
ing the Bulletin on to me which are always
welcome. It gives one an opportunity to
keep up with many of the ex-students.
SThank you for the Bulletins. Marjorie W.

I am here inclosing one dollar to be ap-
plied on Marion Reeves' dues and sub-
fscription to .the Bulletin. He is in service,
and was inducted into the SeaBees on Nov-
ember 9, 1942. He took his training at
Providence, R. I., and then was sent to his
Naval Base at San Francisco, Calif. and onFeb. 9, '43, he sailed for foreign service,
so now he's in the Alutians somewhere in
the Northwest Pacific. I am enclosing his
address for you to send his paper on to him
as it will help him receive it sooner. and
as you know they appreciate every bit of
news from home so send it to this address.
Marion's address is clo Fleet P. O., San
Francosco, Calif.eI
