WITH FOREIGN TEACHERS
Private First Class John Evarts writes on May 20 from Miami Beach, Florida: “I devour the News Bulletins voraciously…. We are in a period of great flux at the moment I am scheduled eventually to go to ASTF School- for languages and foreign area study. Where or when? I don’t know….. I may go in 3 weeks…. The course is around 6 months I believe….. The host is beginning to be really bad now….. The play, “Room Service” is over and went well. Last night I provided entertainment for the Catholic Serviceman’s Club after supper (a benefit supper). A few waltzes, “Collins Ave. from Dawn to Dusk”, and a new sketch, “The Story of Elmer Brown”- the story of a Vermont boy whose favorite pastimes are (1) eating chocolate marshmallow sundae, (2) listening to ‘White Christmas’ on the Juke box, and (3) dancing the Portland Fancy. The sketch takes him into the Army, etc. Fairly amusing to those who have been through the process, but not really well enough worked out yet. I borrow from ‘Ferdinand the Bull’- ‘most of the guys were gabbing about future plans- but not Elmer!’”

WITH FORMER STUDENTS
Norman Weston writes from New Orleans, Louisiana: “Enjoy especially alumni notes and would like very much to see a summary of the present whereabouts, mental and physical, etc, of all students and faculty who were at the College during the first year. During that year we used to say that a proof of the College would be what students were like ten years hence. Would they be able to meet the problems of a changing world? The world has and is changing and it is ten years hence. As a case in point, I would find it interesting to find out how the other “cases” made out.
For my part, I am, as you know, an Ensign in the Supply Corps of the Navy. Am still very much a civilian since I work eight hours a day in a very comfortable and modern office building, Am Assistant Disbursing Officer, Headquarters Eighth Naval District, New Orleans, Louisiana. I pay military and civilian personnel in somewhat larger volume than I used to at BMC.
We live in one of the older sections of New Orleans with out two brats, Michael Chapin now 4 and ¾, and Carol Betty, who is some 14 months. Both of us like New Orleans, largely, no doubt because of the distinct contrast to Detroit which we did not like. Last seen Black Mountain personnel were Fred and Ann en route to Mexico. Note that there are others from BMC
hereabouts. Please publish following information so that those around here will come around when in New Orleans for the weekend.
