THE NEW CANADIAN

M^i;J9^

Continued from Page 1.

(The following essay, written
bv 31ary Oki. won first prize in
the senior division of an essay
contest held at the Tashme Cor­
respondence Classes early in the
spring and was published in the
Literary Section of the Nisei
Lycee Annual, the year book for
that high school.)

As I. look at my life to-day, I
find it is very different! from what
it was before that fateful disaster
on December 7, 1941. My daily
actions, my
work,
my
very
thoughts and ideas too, have little,
if any, resemblance to that com­
placent self of those pre-war days.
The flurry of events released by
the shock of war has brought to
me a succession of fundamental
changes, such as I had never
dreamed possible.
With the mocking realization
chat our citizenship was not to be
acknowledged, came the summons
to evacuate. To me, as to many
others, it meant tearing myeslf
away from the cheerful city, the
only home Td ever known.
It
meant parting, with friends, dearer
perhaps because of imminent sep­
aration; dropping my studies, my
clubs, petty when compared with
the world-wide strife, but to a
selfish
teen-ager, tragical.
It
meant turning my back on an ac­
customed life, even though a sud­
denly rather hostile one because of
my race, to go where? Some God­
forsaken hole away up in the
mountains. I was bitter.
DISTASTEFUL LIFE
The first few months, after our
arrival in Tashme, were spent in
adjusting ourselves to a ruder
scale of living, chopping wood,
hauling water, leaking roofs, dimlanterns. These, and ’other discom­
forts, I viewed with distasteful
eye. Heck, what a dump 1 In an at­
tempt to refute the dissatisfaction
that dwelt in my mind, I, in com­

pany wirh a number of orher
young people, much like myself, set
out in a headlong search for "fun".
Every spare moment would find us
flirting ro and fro, intent only on
finding a new form of amusement,
something to divert our thoughts,
anything that would give us
momentary pleasure. Such a futile
existence!
OUTLET IN EDUCATION
Fortunately, however, such- a
state of indolence, soon became
seeped with boredom. As the
novelty of the new life wore oft',
many people trekked eastward,
others applied for jobs within the
settlement. For myself there was
the question- of completing my
high school education. Through
the suggestion of kindly advisors,
I wrote to the Department of Edu­
cation in Victoria inquiring about
correspondence course s. Their
reply was immediate, and it was
not long after that, through their
correspondence instruction, I was
able to pick up my studies where
they had been so suddenly drop­
ped. The idea of having something
to work on, some goal to attain,
gave a feeling of satisfaction.
With this sense of being able to
take a step forward, came, too, a
feeling of thankfulness to push out
some of the resentment in my
heart. “We’re lucky,” I thought,
“having a chance to continue our
schooling under present circum­
stances.” That feeling has grown,
and today I realize there is much
for which to be grateful. It has
been through the determined ef­
forts of the United Church Mis­
sionaries that a group of corres­
pondence classes has been set up.
Their unfailnig energy has en­
abled them to build a school, des­
pite many difficulties. Under their
careful guidance a real school
.spirit has been instilled among the
students, and we are as one.

HEIDI
Heidi is a cute Victoria girl
whom I got to know at Hastings
Park. Her family had come out to
Toronto quite recently.
They pay 835 a month for their
house, which is surprisingly rea­
sonable. But before they could rent
the house, they had to purchase
the furnitures and furnishings al­
ready’ in the house for about 8900.
Heidi likes it in Toronto. She
has a job in a grocery store.
There is quite a number of San­
don relocees in Toronto, most of
whom are very young. On Sundays
they usually gather in the living
room at Heidi’s.

When I met Spike in Toronto
he was grinning. He
his name to Bill but he was still
a wolf and admitted it.
Spike and I made up a foursome and went dancing to Mart
Kenny. We noticed a number of
other Nisei couples.
After we took the girls home.
we found a booth in an all night
cafe and talked.
Spike is taking senior matric at
Jarvis college. He said he found it
terribly lonesome in Toronto for
the first two weeks, but now he
likes it swell. Then we talked
about the guys still in B. C.
’“When you get back, tell that
guy Aki to come out of that Bay
Farm hole,” said Spike.
