JUNIOR CLASS

Page 18 text:

HISTORY OF 1908 In the year of our Lord, 1904, Barnard was shaken to its foundations by the advent into the high school of a new and brilliant group of talented youths known as the class of '08, Modesty, however, always the watchword of this class, at first deterred them from interferring with the then sophomore class of ,O7 and shattering its castles of the air, yet incidentally, we stepped in and relieved the hard-pressed seniors from the work of the Aion. But, upon again assuming the duties of school in 1905, we felt that our genius and prowess in athletics must be made apparent to all, for already we had secured for ourselves a great reputation for scholarship. To this end we entered our men in the Christmas games, went down to the Armory and walked back with the cup. Next We entered in the class Basket Ball Contests, where we likewise dis- tinguished ourselves by easily winning the School Basket Ball Championship. A couple of our men then undertook the editing of the Bric, which was a brilliant success. In this, our Junior year, the class has not followed the unfortunate course so often pursued by noted athletes. Wfe have not outdone the physical side at the expense of the mental. Rather, upon .entering on our junior year, instead of throwing our activities too much into athletics we considered the serious duty of passing our preliminaries with credit to ourselves and to the school. Therefore, not believing further proof of our physical excellence necessary, we settled down to the sober duties of a '08 junior. In this attempt we have attained striking suc- cess as may be ascertained from the faculty. Again, moreover, we were intrusted with the publication of the Bric and the book you hold is edited and managed by members of this remarkable class. 4
