Sample Book Insights: #1 When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, I was a senior at Ripon College, in Ripon, Wisconsin, expecting to complete my bachelor of arts studies and look forward to graduating the following June. I was assigned to duty with the army on 8 June 1942. #2 I had graduated from high school in 1934, and in August 1934 I heard that the Civilian Conservation Corps provided clean outdoor work. I was accepted and in October 1934 I found myself in the north woods of Wisconsin. The CCC transformed me from a seventeen-year-old kid to a working man. #3 I had wanted to be a pilot, but the failure to qualify for the second phase of training had a demoralizing effect on me. I returned to Ripon College in my senior year, where I took advantage of a new U. S. government program that allowed college students to receive civilian flight training.
