Three of Seven (Random Old Images)

Evidently someone in Hobart sent these cards to Helen Hopp when she was serving in the Women's Army Corps.

According to the WWII Army Enlistment Records, Helen enlisted in the WAC in February 1943, when she was 22 years old (per the Social Security Death Index).

I know that she went on to teach at Hobart High School for many years, and was among the founders of the Hobart Historical Society.

From Hobart High School's Brick-art yearbook for 1948, here is Helen Hopp (at left) with Esther J. Risinger; both teach commercial courses.

I'm a great typer thanks to Miss Hopp! She was a great teacher!

In every picture I've seen of her, she's got a great big smile.

She taught me typing in 1976, and I knew her from doing volunteer work at the historical society.
She held some sort of speed typing record.
