BRYANT SERVICE CLUB The Bryant Service Club is an organization OF Bryant men and women FOR Bry- ant alumni in the Service of our country. The club was organized on March 29, 1942 and met with immediate enthusiasm, The purpose of the Club is to send cigarettes, candy, cookies, knitted articles and let- ters to Bryant alumni in the Service, and to sell War Stamps and Bonds, To camps all over the country and to battlefronts of many foreign lands have gone lettersand packages telling our alumni that we remember them gratefully. From those camps and battlefronts have come hundreds of letters of appreciation. The Bryant Service Club has entailed a great deal of work-seeking addresses of the Bryant men in the Service, making the many, many changes in these addresses, following up letters and packages, writing hundreds of V Mail letters by hand, and mimeographing, addressing, stamping thousands of others, buying, wrapping, weigh- ing, zoning, stamping, hundreds of pounds of candy, ordering thousands of packages of cigarettes and making sure the packages go to the correct addresses, knitting dozens of sweaters, socks, helmets and scarfs and routing them not only to those alumni who have expressed a preference for knitted articles but to those known to be in cold outposts or doing duty on the frozen seas, selling thousands of war stamps and bonds and making careful reports of sales records, planning ways and means of securing money with which to buy the things sent to our fighting men, to make every penny count and without wasteful expenses-these are but a few of the things which have taken time and the unceasing effort of the committees. Seniors who have given unstintedly and unselfishly of themselves to make the Bryant Service Club a success will leave behind them a sacred duty to Undergraduates to carry on unflaggingly the work of the greatest little club in the history of Bryant -or any other College.
