My purpose in sending this Christmas greeting to you boys is to
incorporate the names and addresses of as many boys who send in
Christmas cards and other greetings as possible, so that you in turn
will know their addresses and be able to communicate with them if you
so desiree We received many letters and postcards and we want to
assure each one of the boys that has written to us that we are vitally
interested in their welfare. We are staying here at this station with
the full realization that about the only thing we can do is to serve
as a communication canter and to inform each and everyone of yu that
we are waiting for the grand time when you Will all be back wit us
and we ean have one of those old-time get-togettherd that none of us
will ever forget. Wherever you are = remember that we are pulling
for you strong and hoping that you will be the iucky one.

We don't expect you to write use We want to write you, however,
because there are so many other demands on your time that we will fully
understand why we do not hear from youe So, with that in mind, I
will start on this long list that I have before me in the hope that some
of these names «will prove alluring to you and awaken am old correspondence
or renew an acquaintanceship begun here on old Mt. Oread.

As a starter, an informative source states that Capt. Fen Durand,
our basketball and track luminary of 1937, '38 and '39, was in the Tarawa
battle, but we learn he drew a lucky number as he was ‘hot on the list of
casualties. We are hoping that he still carries that lucky horseshoe. We
are anxiously awaiting word and wondering about our good old "Hambone",
T. P. Hunter, and Major Bill Jones. No telling how many other of our
Jayhawkers are in that fuss, but we are hoping that the old Jayhawker luck
will still continue.
