Saks, Harold L., RC '50, GSE '63, "Service in Hawaii."

An 82-page scrapbook chronicling Saks service in the US Army from his induction in June 1945 to his discharge in July 1946. The book, dedicated to his friend, Don Frasier, an MIA, includes original orders, postcards, letters, military passes and cards, publications, clippings, photographs, maps, programs, holiday cards and other pieces of ephemera. Saks provides some annotation throughout the work.

The first ten pages of the book are a random assortment of materials from the span of his tour; of particular note is the October 19, 1945, order conferring the Good Conduct Medal upon him. The remainder of the scrapbook consists largely of photographs and follows his Army career chronologically:
