ROBERT FROST SPEAKS ON ~ WORDS FOR POETICAL USE —— Meets Reeling ‘and Writhing Club for Second Conference — “There are three or four of you here who are in earnest about this matter of }- writing poetry,” said Mr. Robért -Frost;- opening his talk to members of the Reeling and Writhing Club, last Thursday evening. “You are determined to see the thing through, I want, in these meetings, to talk over some of thé things that have always bothered me, and that consequently I. have thought a lot about.” This is Mr. Frost’s third meeting with the Reeling and ; Writhing Club this. winter. ~~ “Words can be divided into three classes;” according to Mr. Frost. ‘dLoose words are those that don’t mean anything because they have been used everywhere.” “Pretty,” . “glorious” and “little” were cited in-the open discussion as examples of these “cheap” words, “The second class of words: are those ‘that are nailed down toa particular meaning; trade words are in this category,” according to Mr. Frost. “I don’t believe you've got any chance in poetry. unless you . like these ‘hard’ words.” The third group comprises words that have been pulled from their original places torserve in some ’ figure. “Lemon” and “pill,” when first em- ployed in the figurative sense, are exam- ples of this use. “T’d like,” said Mr. Frost, “to sée only- the last two kinds of. word to a specific meaning, and those which you yourselves, ~: Criticizes.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23; 1921 FRESHMAN SHOW— ¢ “STYX AND FIDLESTICKS” GOOD STAGING AND COSTUMING MARK FRESHMAN SHOW 1924 Relies on Individual Talent in Styx and Fiddlesticks. A. Shiras and B. Constant Give Clever Performance Good staging and costuming, and refregh- ingly few local hits characterized 1924’s Freshman Show, “Styx and Fiddlesticks,” a musical comedy in four acts, given last Saturday night in the gymnasium, .The plot, which showed the efforts of Sally Catt—1924—aided by the. Prince—1923—to find the Grotto of Good Luck, was .con- ventionally slight and depended entirely on individual talent for its ‘success. The first act, the interior of an antique shop, gave promise of a high standard of production. -The.scenery._and_. lighting effects were good, and the- handsome and fascinating costumed old- fashioned chorus, the most effective in the show, tent an atmosphere of by-gone days which formed a romartitic background for the. meeting of Sally Catt and thé Prince: E. Neville, as Sally Catt, played the part of a sophisti- cated young girl with grace and ease, while K. Elston put personality and charm: into the slight part of the Prince. In. the second act the scene shifted to the banks of the Styx and showed Cicero and Sir Walter Raleigh Waiting,” among other commuters, for the ferry. The introduction of a Shimmying Debutante chorus, in rather motley costumes, lead by L. Parsons, gave, B. Taylor, as Sir Walter, opportunity for a take-off of a modern “pick-up.” The part of~Cicero, taken by B. Constant, “proved... one of the high lights of the show, ‘and saved the act from dragging. Free Verse ‘Well. Played by K. Connor A Hades of leaping flames and lurid red light was the scene for the third act, which closely rivaled the first in artistic effect. A band of mischievous red devils kept up a-stréam_of amusing by-play which held the act together. A. Shiras, as Diogenes, gave the cleverest performance of the show in her altercation—with the captain of the, Hades fifth MOckey team and her comments; fon the Horrors, most effective of which was K. Connor as, Free Verse. Following this the appearafice of Proserpine—1922— who was returning from a week-end, gave an opportunity for a charming song, “The Nest,” which contrasted favorably with the singing in the show. D. Gardner, accom- panied by her originally costumed attend- ants, made. an alluring Queen, and ‘sang the part with real. ability. (Continued on Page 2) MRS.

The Green was unable to ‘score the hiet half on account of the Red forwards, who battered the Soghomore goal with shots, and were prevented from rolling up a large score, only by the impregnable defense of}. A. Howell. The only Senior goal was made by F. Billstejn in this half by a, well- placed shot forthe corner, In the setond half 1923 became agressive and after a struggle between K. Walker and the Green forwards, S. McDaniel scored the first goal | for the Sophomores. Two more goals by D. Meserve gave the victory to 1923.-~The game was slowed by many technical fouls.

Surette, is to direct’ the work, together with an associate’ professor still to be appointed. We are going to have a three-hour course in the history and appreciation. of elementary music. For the first year ‘we are going to’ let you in with- out, any preliminary knowledge, but after the first year we are going to require what Mr, Surette calls a ‘hearing . eye,’ whatever that may mean. The course will treat of - Bach, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. We hope to have different players come out from Philadelpliia to illustrate the part taken by the different instruments. in at, symphony. The course, will be accom- " panied by reading just as your other courses are. That will¢Be followed next yeaf by a two-hour advanced course in the history of music, which will take you down to the most modern times—Brahms, Wagner, mod- ern Russian and modern French musicians, Then for those of you who are really mug sical, there will be special courses in theory of music—Elementary Harmony, two hours a week, Advanced ’ Harmony two hours.a week, and Counterpoint two hours’ a week. These courses will be for only a very few people. tiate courses for those of you who wish to teach theoretical music. There will be two graduate courses in, original composi- tion and canon and fugue, etc., combined, if _ you wish, to ae with an educational seminary. “Tn addition, asa a a: Surette is.going to create for us one of the most]. ‘beautiful choirs in the United States.
