be reached as well as air mail communication with our President crystallized in the nominations of Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, Captain H. M. Gleason, and Captain R. P. McCullough; and these names have been forwarded to the National body for consideration. Our last luncheon was well attended. It was a pleasure to have again with us Captain Stanford Moses, as well as Lieutenant Colonel Porter, a graduate of the Academy and now stationed at the Presidio in the Chemical Warfare Service. The Captain spoke a few words of his recent visit South and of his having attended some of the meetings of the Alumni group in Los Angeles. He told of their work and of their spirit and suggested that it might be well for us occasionally to get together in the evening. This would enable a more intimate meeting and eliminate the necessity for a quick get away and a return to our offices such as the midday makes necessary to most of us. As a part of Navy Day Lt. Commander Van Horn accompanied by Hubert McLellan proceeded to the Commodore Sloat School where they addressed the students. A brief history of Commodore Sloat and his intimate association with early California history as well as the part he played in Monterey was told. The history of Lieutenant Bartlett was subsequently developed wherein he was duly eleaed Mayor of this city, but shortly thereafter was ordered by the Navy back to duty. This gave the pupils and all those privileged to listen in some faas which are not as widely known as they should be. Commander Van Horn then spoke of the Navy as a career and
of the Naval Academy as the opening of that career. The thought was developed that at a later date a plaque from the Alumni Association and in memory of Commodore Sloat may be presented to the school. Before closing, we have just received a flash that Pat Donavin was last seen boarding an airplane in the East bound for his new duties in South America. Our hearty good wishes go with him, and one of these bulletins will follow him up. Make every effort to report aboard at 12 o'clock and give our President a hearty welcome.
