'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

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.

The White Key is an organization composed of a student representative from each fraternity and the Independents. The Key is the official student host to visiting athletic teams, welcoming them to our cam- pus and trying to make their stay at Bowdoin a pleas- ant one. Its other main activity is the organization of inter-fraternity athletic schedules starting with touch football in the fall, basketball, volley ball, and bowl- ing in the winter, and softball and golf in the spring. The White Key provides all officials for inter-frater- nity athletic contests and renders decisions whenever disputes arise. This committee works in conjunction with the Athletic Department in both of its functions. OFFICERS FALL SEMESTER President: Frank J. Vecella, '54 Vice-President: James L.
