Dear Mom and Dad;
Well, here I am again, all well and
feeling fine. We just got back from
an attack and are resting up in a
small village and having a good time.
Not many got wounded this time
out of our company, but the 2nd Bn,
of the 24th Inf., attacked one hill and
they had a very hard time taking it
until the Air Force helped them out.
The Korth Koreans.: are scared of our
planes lately, They all run when they
see one. We captured a North Korean
Lieutenant and he said that there was
two things that his men hated most
and they were Our jets and the 24th
Inf., Div.
It has been raining the last few
days but has started to clear up now
and I hope "it stays' warm until the
was is over.
I am, going to enlist in the Air
Force after my three years are up, because I don't want to be in the infantry if there is another war.
If you want to send me something
I would like homemade cookies and
[fudge. The boys have been getting

Pioneer Reserves Shellac
Shepherd "B" Team Here
Wednesday Evening
Reed City High School smothered
Clare, 39-7, at Reed City Friday night,
September 29, A power-laden team
with victory alone in their minds
shoved the Pioneers to the goal line
repeatedly.
Reed City plowed to four scores in
the first half. They scored from the
19 yard line for their first score, and
four plays later, the elusive half-back
intercepted a pass and scored again.
Before the half ended they ran a reverse 20 yards across for their fourth
score.
Injury-wracked Clare hobbled on the
field for the second half and Reed
City took to the air for a 44-yard
touchdown on the seventh play of the
second half. Starting on Clare's 28-
yard line, Reed City marched to their
final score, from the two-yard line,
Clare's lone tally came on a 76-yard
pass play, TJrquhart to Dwyer. A
sunken Pioneer squad trudged home,
with memories of a faultless Reed
City team deep in their minds..
Clare entertains St. Louis here this
Friday night and Beaverton here Wednesday night, at 8:00 o'clock.
Junior Varsity Games

period.
In the second quarter Mt P.leasant

anjl failed the extra point. At the
end of the half Mt. Pleasant led 18-13.
There "was iio -scoring in the third
