‘Mike’ Conlon Dies in Action
Sgt. Michael Conlon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Conlon of Daly City and eldest grandson of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Gunn, has been killed in action while serving as a gunner in the 75th Medium Bomber Squadron of the Army Air Corps in the South Pacific, according to a War Department telegram received this week by his parents.
Michael was well known in Sausalito, having lived here often during his life. He attended grammar school in Sausalito and later went to Tamalpais High School, but graduated from the Burlingame High School after his family had moved there.
He was prominent in Boy Scouting here, and after leaving for Burlingame he became an Eagle Scout.
After having been in the service two years, he left for the Pacific last October. No further detail concerning his death have been received by the family. His father is an instructor at the Trade School in Daly City.
One of his best friends from Sausalito was Ensign John Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Williams of Sausalito, who is a flier now stationed at a Pacific base.
Rev. Lloyd Lox held a memorial service for “Mike” Conlon last Sunday following the regular service at Christ Church.

Michael Conlon, is not listed on Tam High's WWII memorial plaque. In the 1940 Census he was in Burlingame in 10th grade, so he would have been in the Tam Class of 1942 and he could have only been at Tam for 1.5 years, at most. Conlon, Joseph M. Jr., SN 19084649, SGT, KIA [46]

Services Held For David Wolfe, Lost In Action Overseas
In February of 1942 David Wolfe, a Tamalpais high school student of 15 years ago, was due to come home on a furlough from the Philippines to which he had been sent after enlistment at Fort McDowell, Angel Island. He didn't come home until the week ahead of Armistice Day. At least that was the day upon which private funeral services were held bv the Army at the Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland for the lad who had fallen victim to the Japanese in the ill-fated march of Bataan. The lad who enthused over Sausalito because the day he moved here the smelt were running and he so happily caught fish in Shelter Cove, had enlisted in the Army sometime ahead of hostilities. He was due to be home to see his mother, Mrs. Dorothy M. Wolfe, and brother, Philip, now Berkeley residents before long, he had written. But in the meantime, there was Pearl Harbor and all the actualities of War. His mother and father, Sidney J, Wolfe, had for years been corresponding with the Government to find out what had happened to the youth who was due to be home. No word came until at last his remains had been identified and sent home to be finally placed at rest. At the services, conducted by the Army for the immediate family, were the parents, brother and uncle, Frank B. Anderson, who paid silent tribute to the Tam High boy who had given his life for his country long before the wholesale sacrifices had begun.

I went from there to the Friends School, which was a Quaker School and a very good school. I was in the seventh grade there when the family moved out here [in 1919] and I went right from here to first year in Tamalpais High School, which was a very poor high school at that time.... I guess it was probably symptomatic of public education throughout California at that time. The standards were very, very low."
