Tl-IEl934BARNARDBRIC Y' 'YTWQKD The Purple B .wav 1921 the idea of a school newspaper was conceived, and in due course of time it was named the Purple This was not the first Barnard paper, i for back at the turn of the century the students prepared a periodical called f l y' The Aionf' This issue is carefully preserved by Dr. Hazen and is an interesting memento of the earlier days of the school. However, it remained for the Purple B to publish the first newspaper to appear at frequent intervals. Ian Hunter and john Sheldon were selected as co-editors on this year's board. The staff selected to assist them were taken from the three upper classes. The 1933-34 edition followed worthily in the footsteps of its predecessors. It is an evidence that there is at Barnard a decided place for a publication of this type, and it is the hope of all that the Purple B will continue to serve as a means of undergraduate expression.

ll-lEI934BARNARDBRIC Z' ' 'ig A T 4117, W A ' ' ' ' ' Dramatic Association Dramatic Association consists of a group of boys who realize and appreci- I ate the benefits to be derived from the development of poise-poise of . speech and poise of action in a public atmosphere. The Senior Dramatic Club is open to every member of the upper school, and provides an unre- stricted opportunity for the student to enjoy this privilege. This year's presentation, Barnard Banter, was unique in many respects. The melodrama of past years was replaced by a farce. The usual irtelevance of scene was replaced by a travesty on Barnard life. And the innovation of a score, written specially for the play, was made. Mr. Ralph H. Bent augmented his role as dramatics coach by writing both the script and the score of the play. On the night of the play, a large crowd of parents filled the gymnasium and as the curtain rose on the opening chords of the Barnard Fight Song, critical faces became interested and remained so until the curtain dropped for the last time. The various departments functioned flawlessly during the entire presentation. Ken Rolph and his staff of stage hands, the electrical staff, who had their job complicated by the necessity of rigging up a microphone and a radio, and Mr. Lacy Coe and his Barnard orchestra, all deserve their share of credit.
