Philip Masquelette ’42 wrote that he
enjoyed a recent visit with Sue Steele, a member of the Schreiner staff, “her father preceded me as member of the cadet corps, when all the boys wore uniforms, and there were a few girls in the junior college years living with their families in town. I was able to describe to her how many townspeople came to the campus on Sunday, December 7, 1941, to see the colors lowered while the band (in which I played a trumpet) performed the national anthem, and the next day we gathered in the assembly room in the admin building to listen on the radio to President Roosevelt asking Congress to declare war on Japan. Hitler got Germany to declare war on the U.S. later in the week based on a treaty between Germany and Japan.”

wrote, “Things here in Dallas are going great for the family and me! I have been the recruiting business analyst for ReachLocal (digital marketing company) in Plano for nearly 2 1/2 years and helped open three new offices in Canada this year. The boys are growing by leaps and bounds. Rian is getting ready to start 8th grade, Jacob will be in 5th grade and Matthew will be in 3rd grade. In April, Rian attended the TMSCA Middle School state meet in San Antonio and placed 54th in 7th grade science. I will definitely have to make plans to be at Recall next spring. All the best to the entire Schreiner family and hope everyone has a wonderful year.”
