LIFE ABOARD A DESTROYER has provided most of the subject matter for ten notebooks of sketches by Charles H. Geer '44 which have been exhibited recently in the main hall of Baker Library. Above are some of the sketches from this popular exhibition. Before leaving college to enlist in the Navy, Geer studied with Paul Sample, Dartmouth's Artist in Residence, who finds much promise in his work. He is a Torpedoman, Third Class, aboard a U. S. destroyer and has seen action in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of the war.
