Dear Molly,

Congratulations upon your completion of high school! It’s seems rather fantastic, huh? Remember the grammar school days? Volley-ball, Dodge-ball, May-poles, Rings, and etc. —Then, on to Belvedere – we sure had fun, huh? That old Miss Dillon – Miss Dow – Mr. Prante – Mrs. Sullivan, and Old Lady Lyman. –Those were the good old days! Roosevelt Hi –and man alive, did I think I was “big,” though! When we moved to 10^th St. you came over on your way to a picnic —you won some sort of prize huh? Then, evacuation —I came to a newly organized school –Butte Hi —while you kept on at Roosevelt Hi! Well, now we’re both out of school, and ready to face the world.

According to a little “birdie” –you’re planning to work in a defense factory $150. –a month? Swell! With that, you could work your way through college huh? (You’re planning to go on with your studies, aren’t you?) I’m planning to attend a Junior College in some…

…other state —but am wondering about the financial matters, and whether my folks will let me out by myself. Well, here’s hoping for the best!

Believe me, it’s so hot here, we don’t sleep until 1: A.M. —wake at 6:30 A.M., and by 7: A.M., it’s already 84° hot state, and no lie!

Well, since my arm sticks to this paper, I’d better be closing. Golly, am I sticky and uncomfortable!

Until I hear from you —‘bye now —write soon —be good —and take it easy, especially on a certain Milliard Murphy ----Oh man, I could hear your heart thumping out here —or has Milliard already got your heart.?!?!

My regards to the family—

Sincerely,

June Yoshigai
