Vel. VII, No. 1, September a8, 1920 THE COLLEGE NEWS ‘eaches School in Labrador: in Lifeboat on Trip to Mi - Marynia Foot Has Varied Experience School teaching, tending the sick and settling arguments were among the duties of M. Foot, ’21, president of the Under- graduate Association, who had the summer position of “school missis” at Black Duck Cove, Newfoundland. For eight weeks Miss Foot lived in the ’ parlor of a very small native house and ‘had complete charge of twenty-five fam- ilies. Five days in the week she taught reading, writing, arithmatic and a little catechism to twenty-nine children from the} ages of five to fifteen, Since none of them had ever had more than five weeks school- ing before, they were all in the primary grades. Her medical work included caring for cases of epilepsy, boils, tonsilitis and beri- beri, besides many other simpler diseases, with no more equipment than a kit for ad- vanced first aid. The living conditions among the natives were very bad. Eleven people were crowded into the garret of the house in which Miss Foot lived. The diet consisted of bread and stewed tea, with a little scalded milk and boiled greens for variety. The boats on the trip were so crowded that Miss Foot had to sleep one night on the deck and several nights in the life boats. Record Registration at Penn Eleven thousand students have enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania for 1920-21. This is a record registration for the college. PRIZE WINNING SONG AT SILVER BAY WRITTEN BY HELEN HILL To knights in the days of old Keeping vigil on mountain height, Came a vision of Holy Grail And a voice through the waiting night: Follow, follow, follow the gleam; Banners unfurled Over the world, Follow, follow, follow the gleam Of the Chalice that is the Grail. And we who would serve the King, Keeping watch at Silver Bay In the consecrate silence knew, That the challenge still sounds to-day: Follow, follow, follow the gleam, Standards of worth Other the earth, Follow the gleam; follow, gleam Of the light that shall bring the dawn.

Kimbrough An illustrated article on the Bryn Mawr May Day appeared in the Theatre Magazine for July. “Both pleasure-seekers and_ serious students of the drama,” reads the article, “found in the Bryn Mawr May Day this year a noteworthy revival of Elizabethan plays and pageantry. Not only the pic- turesque opening procession, the crown- ing of the May Queen and the dancing on the green, but the eight separate plays and masques given each in its own par- ticular hollow of the campus, offered a remarkable instance of the spectacular effects which may be attained by brilliant color and movement against a natural background without any reliance upon artificial lighting and scenery. The dramatic interest moreover rivaled the spectacular.” * * * * Of Robin Hood the critic says: “The peculiar success of this year’s perform- ance lay in the graceful and convincing characters of Robin Hood and Maid Marian, as played by Lois Kellogg and Elizabeth Vincent. The two excelled any previous Robin Hood and Maid Marian, critics at Bryn Mawr are agreed; cer- tainly they might rival those of any per- formance. Alan-a-Dale was _ interpreted with engaging sincerity. And the juxta- position, for an instant, of brilliant with scarlet and the golden-haired Maid Marian, in her dull green gown, was one of the most entrancing moments of the whole May Day.” * * * * Cornelia Skinner, ’22, playing the part of Sacropant in “The Old Wives’ Tale,” is praised. “Throughout her part, Miss Skinner managed to capture and hold the sympathy of her audience for the fell hero, without a single false note of melodrama or sentimentality; and the death scene was exceptionally well done.” * * * * Reviewing the Masques, the critic “If the successful revival of the early plays was surprising in many ways, much more so was the transformation of the plotless, characterless reliques of the old court masques, by clothing their dry bones in all the loveliness of filmy costumes and eurythmic dancing. * * * Among the solo dancers, it would be hard to choose among Zella Boynton’s ‘Gallus,’ Eleanor Boswell’s ‘Prima vera’ or Helene Zinnset as the ‘North Wind’; but with so little opportunity for dra- matic action in any of the parts in the two masques, Emily Kimbrough gave quite an astonishing performance, from a dramatic as well as a terpsichorean view, in her interpretation of the part of Silenus.” “The morality play, ‘The Nice Wan- ton,’ a ‘preaty interlude’ licensed to the printer in 1560,” reads the criticism, “was given by the resident graduate stu- dents with a degree of finish and an artis- tic completeness hardly to be expected from the type or subject matter of the of the play.” says: 13th Street at Sansom H.
