This past April, Browning’s first(and only) Division 1 Athlete, Skyler Bell ‘21, saw his name called by the National Football League’s Buffalo Bills. The culmination of a 4 year career split across spells at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Connecticut, Bell was the 21st Wide Receiver selected.

The Varsity Baseball team capped off an unforgettable season by claiming the NYCAL Championship, defeating Calhoun 19-11 with a dominant and decisive performance. It was the culmination of every early morning, every rep, and every sacrifice made throughout the year. When the final out was recorded, it was a statement.

Anxieties regarding the war in Iran are not simply responding to military strategy or the vague wargoals which we’ve placed on the war in Iran, but rather may be interpreted as having to do with a psychological phenomenon that has been snapping at our heels since April 30, 1975, and which has allowed for the creation of a cynical skepticism of not simply the morality of intervention, but the basic functionality of American power itself.

Rory McIlroy’s repeat victory at Augusta National would come to cap off the tournament’s 90th playing, the next great member of golf’s greatest club. The fourth player to win consecutive Masters tournaments, and first since Tiger Woods in 01-02, McIlroy shook demons of the past to claim his second Green Jacket.

The 2025-2026 school year’s new Browning high school building was not only a monumental addition to students in its state of the art classrooms and learning centers, but also in its athletic facilities.

Among the critics of Contemporary Art, both professional and amateur, there is a prevailing idea that it doesn’t represent “sophistication” or “high art.” A canvas smeared with paint, a urinal on a pedestal, and a looping video of someone staring at a wall are all easy targets for this criticism. In reality, judgments of whether something is sophisticated or not involve engaging in acts of social positioning and competition, which is not a form of aesthetic judgment. Before asking if contemporary art is “good,” we should ask who decides this.

On May 11th, members of the Riley’s Way chapter and Browning community at-large gathered in the commons and cafeteria to create sandwiches, a campaign launched in conjunction with the organization Grassroots Grocery.

It seems that with another year of student government comes the same expectancy regarding how exactly the student body will be impacted. As our first year in the new building comes to a close, perhaps this new leadership will steer towards original horizons.

This April, the Browning 9th graders embarked on a one week long trip to the Bahamas at the Island School . . .

Sentimental Value is a 2025 Norwegian film directed by Joachim Trier, starring Stellan Skarsgård, Renate Reinsve, and Elle Fanning. The basic premise of the film is that a washed up film director, played by Stellan Skarsgård, reunites with his estranged daughters Nora and Agnes to make a comeback film.

If Prince Andrew’s arrest was meant to signal the law’s neutrality despite the status that public figures may hold, the underwhelming resolution to this drama has instead reinforced the opposite perception. Across the Atlantic, the spectacle surrounding our era’s greatest scandal has done little to restore public confidence in the impartiality of justice or the strength of our institutions.

The Holdovers is a film made by Alexander Payne in 2023, already having been hailed as a standard of the prep school story genre over the past few years. The movie follows the relationship between Paul Hunham, a classics teacher at Barton Academy, and Angus Tully, who has been left behind over Christmas break while his mother goes on vacation with her new husband.

For a long time, many have wondered whether rock as a genre itself is “dead”. Since the 90s, it’s seemed like the genre has seeped back into the cultural underground, lost in the cultural periphery. But Brooklyn’s Fort Greene has produced a new phenomenon that has turned the tides of popular culture.

Browning's past has been storied with various student-led initiatives, and “The Lit” was one of them: a club dedicated to the seasonal publication of short stories, poems, and assorted writings completely produced by the student body. These past publications are doubtlessly reflective of a strong literary tradition that has continued to this day at Browning. After five years of Covid-induced dormancy, The Lit has come back this year better than ever.

Although not achieving the outcome they desired in their first year calling 64th Street home, the Browning Varsity Basketball team overcame many adversities and built a solid foundation for many years to come.
