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.

The orchestra is composed of Seniors and juniors who have willingly lent their talent to this popular organization of the school. Mr. Coe has worked faithfully in the training of its members, and has been greatly assisted by Mr, Hayden Carlos Shepard. It is believed that some of the talent in the junior Orchestra, which is composed of Middle School Boys, will be added to the Senior Orchestra in the future to enlarge it and to replace those who are leaving the school. A recent addition of a brass section headed by Mr. Shepard has been made. The members are learning the fundamentals of the brass instruments, and it is believed that the school orchestra will soon be provided with new talent. THEI935 BARNARD BRIO
