Tl-lEl935 BARNARD BRIC .- eww: ve -- The Bric Board LTHOUGH the Bric Board started its work rather later than usual this year, it has nevertheless completed a successful season. The work was well planned, and accomplished to perfection in all the departments. The social meetings of the Board, frequently held at the homes of the boys, helped inspire them in their work. And so, because of these meetings, the Bric Board is considered a social as well as a literary organization, wherein pleasure and work go hand in hand. It is an envied honor at Barnard to be chosen a member of this Board, and the members, realizing this honor and responsibility, have put their best into their work. The Bric Board has done its work, and now hopes to glean its reward from its efforts, namely to see the readers appreciate this school annual now, and to cherish it later in life.

Tl-IEI935 BARNARD BRIC a aaa B, 1A . cr cBcf emsxrwreme-. ..B B BBB- The Purple B ggi: HE Purple B reached the respectable old age of fifteen years this year, a creditable age for a school periodical. In that time, it gained the respect ofhthe sildints, and made an excellent record for itself in competitions with 5.25 tn? I ot er sc oo papers. A Its staff for the past year was made up entirely of Seniors and juniors, under the leadership of Walter Redell as Editor, and Mr. Bent as Faculty Adviser. Under their direction, the staff prepared the paper twice each month, bringing news of the school, its alumni, and its work to the students and their parents. Several innovations made their first appearance during the year. Among the most important was a semi-humorous sports gossip column in each issue, somewhat along the lines of the columns appearing in the daily papers. In january a feature story ap- peared, written by a member of the Senior class, concerning a matter of almost universal interest. Although this matter did not touch directly upon the school, the article was of such interest that it was deemed proper to insert it in the paper. It was decided at that time to follow the plan of using articles written by others than members of the staff if they were of sufficient interest to warrant their insertion. The interest shown in the Purple B , both by those directly connected with its publication and by those who read it, is evidence that a paper of this sort is as important a part of the life of the school as sports or other outside activities, and that the Purple B will continue to serve Barnard in the future as well as it has in the past.
