an Dixieland came to the Bowdoin football field last fall, along with waltzes and fox trots interspersed with martial music, as the Bowdoin Band performed in what was undoubtedly its best season. In the words of Music Director Frederic E. T. Tillotson, The band is the best in my recollection.” And it was. Its show- ing in the Bates Homecoming contest and the sea- son's football final against Maine at Orono were probably its best efforts, with the honoring of Presi- dent Emeritus Kenneth C. M. Sills at the Bates game and the playing of Stormy Weather” in the rain at Maine. Augmented by new blood , and with all forty members showing new spirit, the Bowdoin Band was led by its student director, William E. Curran, '54. Manager of the group was David B. Starkweather, '55. With only seven members of the band including Director Curran not returning next year, Bowdoin's football season, music-wise, promises to be most suc- cessful and entertaining.

( ounci i OFFICERS The Bowdoin College Student Council, composed of an elected representative from each fraternity and one from the Independents has continued, this year, its two-fold responsibility in the policies of Student Government and the importance of student opinion. The Council is the official body of the undergraduates in student-administration relations. The activities of the Council include the follow- ing: supervision of Freshman traditions; student mem- bership on the Blanket Tax Committee; management of Junior Class elections; election of new members to the Student Judiciary Board; the sending of delegates to the New England Student Council Conference at M. I. T. and to the Maine Student Conference at Bates; the suggesting of changes in the College social rules; and consideration of the problems and general supervision over a multitude of other campus activi- ties. During the spring, the Council’s most important project will be management of our continually ex- panding Campus Chest Weekend. Through the Cam- pus Chest’s activities, the Council has aspirations of distributing over two thousand five hundred dollars to worthy charities. The importance of the Student Council can be readily observed in its excellent ac- complishments. Fall Semester: President: David S. Roberson '54 Vice President: Charles E.

'57 BOWIX)IN PUBLISHING COMPANY Professor Athern P. Daggett Professor James A. Storer Bruce N. Cooper, '54 Albert F. Lilley, '54 Wallace R. Harper. Jr., '55 John B. Goodrich, '55 The eighty-third and eighth-fourth volumes of the ORIENT, America's oldest continuously published college newspaper, appeared during the past year. The paper serves three main functions for its two thousand readers: first, to provide complete coverage of important campus events and opinions; second, to present a weekly account of the official and formal af- fairs connected with the college; and third, to reflect and channel undergraduate opinion of affairs of im- portance on the campus and frequently on the rtation- al level. Throughout the year the ORIENT has attempted to increase its value to the undergraduate body by em- phasizing the role of its feature writers. For the first time in recent years, a feature staff, separate in name and function, has been added. Feature articles ranging in subject matter from a story on the Chapel bells to a series of articles on nearby women’s colleges were offerings of this group. Fall Editor Wallace R. Harper '55 was largely responsible for this new trend in ORIENT policy. John B. Goodrich '55 continued to stress this phase of campus journalism during the spring. The ORIENT provides an activity outlet for those students interested in the business and editorial man- agement of a weekly newspaper. Freshmen interest in the paper, greater than in preceding years, promises to strengthen ORIENT prestige in the coming years. 11
