BUSINESS MANAGER PIERCE BRUCE an d BLACK The Gold and Black has been the student publication of Bir- mingham-Southern College for twenty years. This year, for the first time, the G d B changed from its customary Old English heading. It went modern. It also took an interest in campus affairs: The Campus Ncit ' sreel, begun early in the year, was probably the most venturesome effort ever made by the paper ' s staff. Editor Martin Kruskopf and Business Manager Pierce Bruce, with Orville Lawson, put on a series of film editions, showing the activities of the students and faculty. With the help of Camera- man Lawson and Director Charles Barnes, the newsreel staff installed its own developing laboratory in Student Ac. The policy of the paper seemed to be that of using its pages to get needed things accomplished on the campus. The Gold and Black started the drive which is about to become successful — th.it of furnishing the Student Activities Building so that it may be- come a student activities building. In spite of all these noble efforts, and because of Psi Psi Psi, the G c5 B had a hilarious year. Put out good papers. And accomplished things.

PAINT an J DIRECTDfl Mr. Burtt F. McKee of the Birmingham Little Theater. The Southern dramatics gained umph from Mr. McKee ' s exten- sion class as well as from his direction on the two plays produced this year. 1 AiNT AND Patches has been more intensely dramatic this year than it has in the past four. Two plays produced at the Little Theatre were enough to rouse all sorts of enthusiasm in the numerous members. Lady Windemere ' s Fan was the first performance of the year, and started the Paint and Patchers to thinking in theatrical terms. Also in the direction of radio dramas. But the radio dramas weren ' t particu- larly permanent. After a momentary flash of histrionic temperament in the early rehearsals of the play, Geiiiiis Limited went on to opening night as calmly as could be expected. Paint and Patches, after its years of Zeta domination, is doing better with the free lancers. It is a matter of interest to see how long the or- ganization can continue to have every officer with a different Greek label.
