- 1 W Q P Q - if - The paper was always well set up. This was particularly true of the E 5 editorial page, which was entirely free from advertisements and news articles. E E The front page, too, had a good balance each week. This balance varied : l weekly, and relieved, therefore, the monotony of the same set up issue after X E Q issue. Other mechanical features were also well attended to. The head- F ' lining was good, and the proof reading, despite the fact that there were more pages in an average issue this year than ever before, was up to par. The business board, led by Seymour Peyser, collected more money than has ever before been collected. It maintained a high class of advertising throughout. Cyrus Sulzberger, the Editor-in-Chief, performed his innumerable duties excellently. He was assisted by Jerry Danzig, Departmental Editor, and .J-Xa- R. D. Wolf, News Editor. Mr. Baruth acted as faculty adviser. -fs- Jxw .Jam ...., g... -.-fs... -.KN-.... 1-fs., td,--Q..- ...f-.- ,,--..-- ,.,,,,,.,,, One hundred one ...IX- ...J-'H-n..... ,..f-' ,.f-s..... ....-vs.. ...4-X., 1,-L, ,,.,,,,...,,-, x 1 I 1 I 1 1 l X . - , . 4 . 1 V I Z f K l N S X X, J r N L, l l X,

- f I, X ,,- - Q Q f P Q .. - - f' f X - , Q: Record Review F HE RECORD, which improved greatly on previous volumes, en- 5 E 6 joyed a very successful year. Accenting what in the past had been Q Q r almost completely ignored-feature articles, many-pictures, and a complete F ' I covering of all news events-the paper made an impressive appearance. At the Columbia Press Contest it was entered in the private school division and captured first place. -fp-P The feature articles were invariably well written. They were informative. ..,x. They dealt with biographies of new teachers, coaches' opinions, and the like. Although they demanded considerable research and time the effort MAB put into them was worth while, for they helped greatly in making the ' paper genuinely interesting. 'N' Another aid in the enlivening of the paper was the printing of numer- ous pictures. At times they were somewhat blurred, but on the whole their Jx- regular appearance repaid the amount of money used for their publication. Rf... The editorials were generally well written, interesting themselves, the majority of the time, with subjects outside the school, such as Alumni Education and International Good Fellowship. The objection to this MN.. ,,u,,, .,,-L.- -fx.. -yi, -.rg .-.1--.,- ,J-X., ..,g,. idea was that while the rhetoric might be flawless, the members of the student body were not interested in it. Therefore, these editorials were wasted efforts. However, on occasion the editorials would concern them- selves with important problems of the school. At these times the editors spoke courageously and logically. But nothing tangible was added to or detracted from school life by any editorials in the Record The columns, which declined considerably, were the paper's weak spot. The oldest strip in the paper, Spotlight, made desultory appearances, and was only fairly humorous. Compared with the excellent column of last year, this year's Spotlight was a disappointment. Down In Front was in precisely the same position as Spotlight. An interesting column last year it was trifling and unimportant this. Both Spotlight and Down In Front lacked personality-something which every column should have. As they were written by different persons each week there was little opportunity to develop a Spotlight style, or a Down In Front style. Bookstall, professing to be only a rehash on the accepted critical opinion of latest books, and not a column of literary chatter, was regular in its appearance, harmless in its opinions, well written, and never tread. Odds And Ends In Sportdom, despite its wretched title, became an interesting and popular column. Alum- ni was scarcely ever printed. But if the columns met with sad days, the news was played up for all it was worth. In the opinion of the editors the printing of the latest school news was the primary aim of the paper. This news was made in- teresting, and as it covered a variety of subjects, many which had never before been covered, it was not stale and uninteresting. This year's Record, surprisingly enough, was actually informative. One hundred I 1 I V I l 1 -..I-C.. -.f-x- ,L-,a-sa.. 1.-fx, j .-ae., i..-fx... ......-x..
