    A Filipino medical assistant bandages the injured arm of a woman in a PCAU clinic at San Rogue on Leyte Island, January 1945. “Hard, Bitter, Unpleasantly Necessary Duty” A Little-Known World War II Story of the Philippines By David Smollar 6 Prologue Summer 2015 n the steamy dawn of Friday, May 4, 1945, hundreds of Filipino residents in the western Leyte port of Palompon lined the shore along the Visayan Sea. The special U.S. Army team known as PCAU 17, after four months of helping to heal and jump-start their war-torn com- munity, was sailing to another island needing aid. For more than two hours under an already baking sun, they watched the boat slowly make its way from Ithe pier, serenading the departing soldiers and wishing them Godspeed. “The local citizens sought us out to wring our hands, thank us, and bless us, and thank us again in their own version of Bon Voyage,” the medical officer with Philippine Civil Affairs Unit (PCAU) 17 wrote in one of his many letters home. “Lots of emotion was expressed,” he added. “A real poverty stricken mother of a skeletal child I saw during the first days after fighting stopped, reckoned now as long ago in ‘war time,’ handed me a dozen fresh eggs. Another former patient gave me fried chicken. The hospital men and women, they financed a pair of house slippers and tea cloth as a ‘thank you’ for me. “You know, I’m pretty gruff, and I was often damn tough in getting these people to understand how to fight illness and disease, but all this made me, well, downright sentimental.

Stephen Green EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS James Jackson Basketball Coordinator Dr. Tekshia Ward -Smith ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Chris Chilton ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Mark Brock 2 DEKALB COUNTY’S LONG HISTORY OF STATE CHAMPIONS DeKalb County’s proud basketball history began and continues with a championship pedigree. The Clarkston boys brought home the first state trophy in 1940, and 41 other teams have since realized the big prize in the ensuing 76 years. From legendary coach Elmer Morrow ’s dominating boys teams at Druid Hills in the 1950s to the current boys powerhouses at Miller Grove and Columbia, the list of win- ners is an impressive one. Druid Hills knocked off Avondale (50 -44), Tifton (47 -44) and Jeff Davis (55 -42) in state finals in 1953, 1954 and 1957 respectively. Stone Mountain and Clarkston on the boys side, and Druid Hills and Stone Mountain among the girls served as the other early local powers. E.L. Rainey , another of DeKalb County’s original hoop coaching giants, led Stone Mountain to the Class B crown in 1957. Tom Church guided Clarkston to its second boys state championship with a victo- rious effort in the class B final in 1964. The girls matched the boys for the first time at Druid Hill in 1960, with Virginia Canady coaching that squad to the Class AAA title.
