December 17, 1942 – First Day of Class



Thursday Evening

Dear Mom + Dad,

I shouldn’t be writing this letter but I am. It is now our study period and we are supposed to study. However so far the work is based on everything I’ve had before and is very easy so I’m taking the time out.

We started our first day of classes today and it was rather easy. Our morning is taken up by drill and physical education. In the afternoon we attend classes. I’m taking three courses, Math, Ground Forces, and Code. They are all very easy so far. I’ll take more as time progresses.

The upper classmen don’t bother us quite so much now but they are still on our tails quite a lot. I don’t mind it as yet. However I’m afraid it will get on my nerves after awhile as lesser things than that have before. So if I gripe a little later on you will know why. I know it is all for my good and after it is all over I’ll have something so take it with a grain of salt.

I got a letter from Mr. Campbell today my coach at N.P. It was very nice as it pictured days that I used to know and brought back memories.

Well I must study a little so I’ll close now. Lets hear from you.

Love
Bobby
