THE AMPLIFIER Friday, Sept. 24,1943 Fotmer W.L. Student Speaks to Assembly Recently the students of West Linn heard one of the most pop ular and well known foririer stu dents upon his return to West Linn—“Smokey” Anderson who spoke to the students about his hair raising experiences as a sec ond engineer aboard an army transport. In 1941 Smokey went to the U. S. Merchant Marine academy on Treasure Island. After five weeks there, he was ordered to the transport Santa Maria. He left San Francisco for the south east and on the way he had the chance of downing a Jap plane or be downed himself. He fin ally succeeded in hiting it, thus blowing it to pieces in mid-air. Lated when on the way to Trini dad his ship was torpedoed by a German sub. From Trinidad he thought he was going to Russia so he stored up on overcoats and underwear, but to his surprise he wound up at Casablanca to take part in the African inva sion, which saw the American navy shell Casablanca. Then the defenders hauled out white flags; -butraS soon as some troops came on shore they were spray ed with machine gun bullets and fell like dominoes. After this dirty trick the navy poured shells on Casablanca and it fin ally gave in and the Americans landed. Smokey also told of Mr. Nixon sending him a trunk to bring back some women. After the talk a pep assembly was held at which Miss White intro duced the Pep club. The songs and yells weren’t very peppy, but not bad for the first tim’e. This year there are enough stu dents to raise the roof with our yells, so how about doing your share.
