Gran Fuller writes to Johnny Gile from Paris (letter dated March 9) : "Greetings from the Dartmouth crowd now in Paris. Fletch Andrews is here at the university. Bob Burlen is still doing sleuth work in the intelligence department, and I am here for a few weeks before leaving for the States. We all reune and look forward to the big time in Hanover in June. Hope plans are under way for our Big Third. Save me a room in our class dormitory or any dugout that we have. Suppose the Balmacan A. C. will function. Leigh Rogers and ,1 were together awhile before his departure and spoke of renewing old days on the hillside or vale. Will be home about April 15, and hope to see you and all the crowd to talk it all over. Ev Graves, Stick Parnell, Parker Melvin, and Butch Fonda are also here in town for awhile. We manage to keep up the old spirit tres bien. Ev, Stick, Parker, and I are living together, so keep the home fires burning well. Andrews is a sergeant major in the 37th Division and is just shaking off the Belgian mud; but he has not lost his fluent line. We are stepping out for a Sunday p. m. promenade, etc., so will close with best wishes from all over here to all the bunch you see."

From a recent number of The Dartmouth: "Among the Dartmouth men who saw much active service in the war is Capt. Norman Brundage '16. Captain Brundage enlisted immediately after the United States declared war, and in May, 1918, was sent overseas as a second lieutenant of field artillery. He was in what is called the biggest artillery bombardment of the war at Neuilly, and was engaged in the famous Argonne battle for six days. He was also in the Verdun sector, remaining there until the armistice was signed. By his merit and ability, Lieutenant Brundage was promoted to captain in October, 1918.

The secretary hopes that his appeal for letters for the next report will not go unheeded. To date only a few have come in. The letters in our first report meant so much to all of us that it seems there should be a big response this time. How about it?

Bruce Bundy sailed into things as a second lieutenant in the Heavy Tanks. He was wounded in one of the heavy pushes through the Argonne, but the following clipping from Bar-sur-Aube (from the Paris edition of the New York Herald) seems to indicate that he is back in shape again: " 'The Tank Corps Follies,' the A. E. F.'s big musical show, is now at this station, rehearsing a new program. Lieut. Bruce Bundy has written several new songs which will be featured in the wind-up. 'Je Ne Sais Pas,' 'l'm a Nut,' 'Roll Your Own,' and 'Hindoo, My Tropical Barber Man,' are snappy live numbers, and are sure to be whistled whenever heard."

During the past year 1916 led all classes in the number of subscriptions to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, with a total of sixty-one, an increase of five over the year preceding. Fair enough for war times, but let's push the number up to at least seventy-five before next spring. Ask the man who takes it!
