Harvey, '55 This year the Bowdoin Christian Association has undertaken several new projects, in addition to or- ganizing the annual Religious Forum and various informal discussion groups. Among the list of new projects was the sponsoring of local ministers as Chapel speakers. Meetings were held with Christian Associations of other colleges, and lectures were spon- sored for the benefit of the student body. The Religious Forum, held February 21-23, was once again successful. A clergyman was the guest of each fraternity for two days during which discussion groups were led each evening on the theme, Chris- tianity and World Unrest”. The Bowdoin Christian Association is proud to sponsor such a forum, in which men of different religions are given the oppor- tunity to learn about religious concepts other than their own.

'54 The Quill, as Bowdoin College's literary publica- tion, provides an outlet for the erstwhile author of the short story, poem, and essay. Retaining last year’s larger and more attractive format, the Quill this year introduced an innovation with its reproduction of certain cartoons and sketches by campus artists, all in keeping with the magazines literary flavor.

Hinckley, ’55 The Student Union Committee, whose function it is to arrange several social events, is composed of one member from each of the fraternities and the Indepen- dents. The Committee uses funds made available by the Moulton Union Store to benefit the student body, whether it be in the Union itself or at one of the Committee’s social functions. This year the Committee sponsored both the Alumni Day Dance and the Winter Houseparty Dance. Charlie Spivak, one of America’s favorite bandleaders, brought his trumpet and his orchestra to entertain at Winter Houseparties. In addition, Student Union sponsored a pool and ping-pong tournament and many bridge tournaments. The Committee also offered several excellent full- length movies and presented daily programs of movies for the student body during exam periods. Pirsl Row. left to right: T. Stenberg, R.

This year, under the new directorship of Profes- sor Robert Beckwith, the Brass Ensemble has per- formed at chapel services, student recitals, at Pownal State Hospital, and in a spring concert with the Bow- doin Music Club. The Ensemble offered, this past season, works of the composers Bach, Reiche, Monte- verdi, and Pezel. Under the leadership of its new di- cctor, this year’s Brass Ensemble has been outstanding though it is still a young organization. J! CapJL oir The A Capella Choir, under the direction of Professor Robert Beckwith, has once more undertaken the task of preparing fifty works for the weekly Sun- day Chapels. The Choir consists of approximately thirty-five men picked from the Glee Club who are interested in the dramatic choral literature of the church. Besides having sung in Chapel each Sunday, the Choir also performed on James Bowdoin Day and at graduation. In addition it joined the Bowdoin Music Club to present a concert last February. An effort has been made to add to the repertoire of the Choir by presenting music in fields other than that in the stan- dard repertoire of a choir. The work has been diffi- cult, but the results have been highly gratifying. First Row, left to right: G. Smart, R. Estes, II. Mahler, C. Kendall, H. Eubank, R. Mathews. Second Row, left to right: C.
