Joe Carleton's second newsletter, while burgeoning with fine examples of Carletonese, was not too amply supplied with news of classmates. Give Joe a hand by dropping him a card. Bill Morton's bag of checks for this year's Alumni Fund is beginning to show some gains, but it, too, is less well supplied than it ought to be. Give Bill a hand by dropping him a check. Any class dues delinquents could give Howdy Pierpont a very welcome jolt by mailing him four dollars immejit.
Elsewhere on this page is a sample of a class gallery your secretary is beginning to assemble. It consists of those pictures of wife or wife and chilluns which our classmates in the armed forces carry with them on their various moves about the country and about the world. The suggested title for the gallery is Brief-Case Beauties. Other examples would be gladly received at the above address. This handsome trio is Art Moreau's: Wife Andree and the boys about whom an anecdote was printed a couple of months back. Let's have other examples for the gallery of Brief-Case Beauties, or Pocket Pride, as you prefer.

Gordon Walker is doing his stuff with the U. S. Army at Fort Mitchell, Covington, Ky. (130 Park Road). Capt. AI Rose has an APO number at San Francisco (he's in the Army).

Lt. Art Allen was in town enroute to his home in New York State, being then in the act o£ driving up from Florida with his wife and son and daughter. I had the pleasure of an evening's confab with him, and wrote all the stuff down on a paper napkin, which I have since and very unfortunately mislaid. But Art is due to take third officer's position on a brand new ship which is currently abuilding up north, and will be ready sometime in April. He was in the midst of the fray with his ship all during the concluding phases of the North African campaign, and led the pack when we moved across to Sicily, and carried on patrol duty during the early stages of the Italian campaign. He gave over his ship and flew back home, spent most of the winter in Florida, where he saw many classmates, and after a brief period at home will have a little more schooling before going aboard his new ship. When I find my paper napkin, I'll be able to be a little more specific. But Art meantime looks fine, is enthusiastic as ever about the Navy, and sports a service ribbon above his breast pocket which is a very complicated symbolic description of his adventurous career as a man of the sea.
NOW thatte Aprille with his shoures sote is upon us, it is time you rummaged in your duffle-bag for news to be relayed to your classmates through the column. And it is also time for digging in the ground against the Maytime planting.
THE "BRIEF-CASE BEAUTIES" series officially opens with this picture of Mrs. Art Moreau and her two boys. Lt. (jg) Art '32 carries this photo with him to war.
Secretary, 178 Prospect Ave., Princeton, N. J. Treasurer, 7 North St., Old Greenwich, Conn.
