JUST IN CASE the Alumni Fund Office hasn't started thinking about the 1946 Fund, here's forty dollars more from the Club. We feel sure it can be used, though we are some 11 months early in sending it.
The Club had another meeting on June 27 to welcome Commodore Halloran back from a brief sojourn in the States and also to say goodby to him for a while. He has left for fields more fertile than this island which has been built up so completely. We were sorry to see him go.
Colonel Robert Bradish '23, Army Medical Corps and a late arrival on the island, is the new Club president and is extremely eager to carry on where Commodore Halloran left off. Guess I'll remain as secretary-treasurer until October when I have leave. Lt.(jg) Joe Huber '41, Lt. Chuck Thompson '36, Lt. Comdr. W. A. Pillsbury '28, and Lt. (jg) T. R. Burrell '39, and Lt. H. T. Mook '38, who has been assigned to other duties, were not present at the meeting and Lt.(jg) Bill Pinney '41, another of the old members, is back in the States after being wounded in action on a strike over a Jap-held island.
Besides Colonel Bradish, the new members are Lt. Ted Steele '35, Capt. Thompson '41, Lt. Jim McFarland '33, L,t. Comdr. R. F. Hertzberg '23, Sgt. John Beaumont '41 and Capt. John Phelan '28. The two '23 men, Colonel Bradish and Lt. Commander Hertzberg, hadn't seen each other in 22 years.
Commodore Halloran gave us a fine talk and we had the usual good Seabee dinner. It has been so long since most of us were home that we listened somewhat pathetically to the Commodore's description of such foreign things as streamliners, dancing at the Ritz, modern bathrooms and how pretty the gals look.
All Dartmouth men who pass through Tinimanhat, be they Army, Navy, Marine or civilian, are most welcome at the Club.
