I'll be glad -when tbts war is all over and I'll be back on the Southeas~ern campus again.

"My very best regards to all "Southeasterners" everywhere and a sincere hope for a successfUl school year at the co'lege."

Pfc. Merlin C. Black wrote the follGwing letter July 19.

"I am now located at Canip Cackall, North Carollna .. .. We are an airbtSrne unit. I am to fin· ish my Glider rides thi8 week . . . I hear regular~y from Jim Guy, Helen Akers, Willard Cox and a few more former Southeastern students. We are all waiting anx· iously the day when we can stroll through the halls and around the campus of good old Southeastern."
