The council has a dual purpose: First and foremost to lay emphasis upon the im- portance of the religious element in college life: Secondly, to select the particular philan- thropies to which the contributions of the students go. The council began its activities this year with a reception for the freshmen during the opening week of school. Later in the fall came the Book Fair in which every council member participated. :Xt Christmas time the college gave the traditional children's party which was sponsored by the Christian Union council. This party is given for the Children of servicemen in Haverhill. ln the winter the C. U. sponsored a Religious Ihiiphasis weekg this took place during Lent. One of the questions discussed at this conference was, Why is it there is such a great interest in religion shown in our armed forces as illustrated in the quotation 'there is no athiest in a fox hole'fll There was further discussion on this question and others in the informal conference periods which followed in the afternoon. Many feel that with the numerous interests in college one tends to lose sight of the importance of the spiritual side of life. The Christian Union wants to see that the importance of religion is brought out in our every day living.

HOUSE COMMITTEE Working side by side with Bradford's student government is the House Committee, consisting of two girls from each corridor, one the chairman, the other her assistant. Chairmen serving the first half of the year are always a group of seniors, each one choosing her assistant, usually a freshman, in order to represent the entire student body. The second half of the year, each corridor elects its own representatives. From this group, the president and secretary are elected who also serve for just one term. In order to insure helpful cooperation between the two governing bodies, the president of House Committee is a member of the Student Government Council, and from time to time, the president of the student government attends the House Committee meetings. Listed among some of the House Committees accomplishments this year was the system worked out for answering the telephones on each floor. No longer is one bothered by the incessant ringing of a phone. Then the conjestion around the post office was partially eliminated by sketches and sign posts in that area. To add to these is the new project of salvaging paper started by the war council. House Committee has cooperated by rounding up a different volunteer from each corridor for the job every week. Drain stopped up, iron doesn't heat, 'glass in the door of fourth east broken again, no plugs in the laundrys and the rubber spray won't spray, T00 IWNM Noire. All these items and many many more are reported to House Committee and taken care of as quickly and efficiently as is possible. In order to keep the student body up to date on House Committee activities, corridor meetings are held each month to discuss any situations that might need improvement or any suggestions to help keep the House running smoothly.

THE WAR COUNCIL The War Council is an all-student organization with ten student representatives. lt has been the attempt of this council to make the students feel that we are actually making a stand with our nation in bringing about victory. Such duties as the National War Fund, the Red Cross Drive, a clothes campaign for Greek War Relief, paper salvage, a collection of articles for soldier kits, and the sales of War bonds and stamps have played a major part in the VVar Council activities. With the willing participation of the students, faculty, and staff the council exceeded its quota in the War fund drive with the iinal total being 51,296 Every Saturday morning students have baled paper for the paper salvae. Not only the students and faculty but the citizens of Haverhill and Bradford helped to donate six pounds of clothing for Greek War Relief. With the collection of hard candy, pocket- book editions, and pencils the Red Cross was able to make up soldier kits to send over-seas. A victory basketball game and a fair helped to boost the sales of War bonds and stamps. For the first time this year the War Council has had a faculty supervisor. We are very indebted to Miss Helmes and wish to thank her for generous help throughout the year.
