itor for this issue of the News. F. von Hofsten Makes “News” As the result of a competition for two editors, open to 1920 and 1921, F. von Hofsten '20 has been elected to the News board. The second editor will be chosen shortly. The New Music The impossible has been achieved: a Taylor audience has sung. Not only that, but faculty, graduate students, and Eng- lish Club have chanted, chanted, “. we were his oxen, we were his ponies,” in the late evening in Rockefeller. Though next year’s college song-leader has not been chosen by the officials, the News ventures to predict a tremendous future for community lyrics at Bryn Mawr. « Apple and Plum Of all familiar things none are quite so thoroughly known by heart as the college food. Like the rations of the Better ’Ole musketeers it is always either apple or plum, and with a little intuition one can ucually tell when apple and when plum. In spite of its long-standing invariability the menu has not yet ceased to be re- marked upon. Three times a day some- body's peevishness finds vent in unlovely dissertations on the food. The most un- assuming bean cannot be slipped along the table without arousing bursts of dis- temper, and as for the cabbage—if that odorous and plebeian vegetable could once make an appearance undamned the mil- lennium would surely be upon us. Mean- time there is always some observant neighbor to sniff the air and cry the un- deniable fact, “Fish again today.” There are one or more of these epicures at every table; like the sergeant-majors, this type “never die” but if they would only “fide awiy”! LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (The Editors do not hold themselves responsible for opinions expressed in this column.) To the Editor of the College News: The Milestone of the Community Cen- ter has grown so in the past year that we are trying to furnish two girls’ club rooms and extend the library. For the club rooms we want pictures, ornaments, chairs (especially comfortable ones), pil- lows (the covering does not matter), and sheet-music. In the library. reference books are es- pecially needed. The public school has a very inadequate supply, and so the boys and girls come to the center to try to find their material, which unfortunately we ave often unable to furnish. Surely most of you have one of these things which you could spare. Please give all contributions which you may have to the junk representative in your hall. We hope very much that the fac- ulty will also be interested in helping us. Anything may be left at the Milestone or Rockefeller or if this is not convenient Jet us know and “we will call.” Edith Rondinella, Poetry and Review High Water Mark Poetry, always the redeeming feature ot Tipyn o’ Bob, ranks first again in the contributions to the Review. The most outstanding, a sonnet by Victoria Evans ‘21, with its sympathetic picture of old_ and young warriors, is unusually vivid. The little poem by Laura Hales ’20 has originality in form and thought. “Foreign Finesse,” by Alice Harrison, is distin- guished by its originality of theme and clever ending. The prose article of most literary worth is certainly the Keen review of Eminent Victorians, by Eleanor Cooper ‘19. Jean Flexner '21 also gives a skillful review of two recent plays. The long list of newly yublished books, not owned by the col- lege, seems hardly worth printing. Magazine Representative, but Slender The contributions are fairly representa- tive of the college, easily saving the Review from the reproach of being writ- ten exclusively by the editors. A new and interesting field is offered to the casual contributor in the stories about foreign lands. The slimness of the first number is disappointing. It is scarcely larger than Tip, which forgot to grow when it changed from a fortnightly to a monthly publication. Perhaps the realization that the table of contents includes article of interest to everyone, will stimulate more contributors. NEARBY TOWNS PLAN COMMUNITY CENTERS AS SOLDIERS’ MEMORIALS The movement sweeping over the whole country to help communities to “manage themselves” is well represented in sev- eral towns which are Bryn Mawr’s near neighbors, Dr. Susan M. Kingsbury stated in chapel last Wednesday. In the town of Marietta a community house and grounds have been given as a soldiers’ memorial and the town itself has raised $35,000, $25,000 of which will be used as an endowment and $10,000 for a gymna- sium and swimming pool. In Garrett Hill, not far from here, the school building is to be purchased for a community house, Preston also wants its eading room developed into a community hause and has asked the Bryn Mawr Community Center to supervise it. Dr. Kingsbury called attention to two bills now before Congress: one for the continuation of the United States Em- ployment Service; the other, providing that the two commissions organized under the Department of Labor, a com- mission on housing and a commission on living conditions, be united and made permanent, The defeat of either of these, she declared, would be “a national ca- lamity.” Would Have Special Style of Poetry to Represent Bryn Mawr Various forms of versification and the possibilities of producing here some sort of poetry that would belong especially to Bryn Mawr and college days were dis- cussed by the Reelers and Writhers Club at a meeting in K. Ward’s room last Thursday. Each member present read (Chairman of the Milestone House Com.) something of her own. jorie Warren '21, in a story of Scotch schools. “Advice to Room-mates of the Love- lorn” will be a column conducted by Jeannette Peabody '19 and Elizabeth Tay- lor ’21, Pictures and cartoons will illus- trate the magazine.

Freshman Show (Continued from page 1.) counteracted by the procession of the League of Nations, which came as an epi- logue. Lack of- organization was _ evident throughout the show. But the subtle humor and the originality of the ideas showed a mature point of view seldom seen in first productions. Choruses Post Girls—H. Gibbs, H. Guthrie, M. D. Hay. Scarlet Moths—V.

She mentioned particu- larly the “sound, serious, and thoroughly laudable” picture of Miss Hillard, by Lydia Field Emmett, and the painting of Edward T. Stotesbury by R. L, Parting- ton, “Mr. Stotesbury’s portrait,” said Miss King, “gives a type; presents a suc- cessful American business man, and af.- fords perhaps a glimpse into the most notorious system in the United States.” The portrait of Miss Reilly by Cecilia Beaux, Miss King characterized as “good brush work, but not real portrait paint- ing;” unsatisfactory because it does not fulfill the real business of a portrait, to re-create the person. The picture of Dr. Horace Howard Furness, Jr., by Alophe Borie, she mentioned as “the nicest thing that Mr. Borie has ever done.” Two men represented this year by es- pecially interesting work are Sidney Dick- inson and Lazar Raditz. The latter's “Portrait of Mrs. R.” reveals, according to Miss King, “an artist’s power and promise at the happiest moment at which it can be taken, while he is still on the up-grade.” Miss King will speak in Chapel Friday morning on the pictures for which prizes have been awarded.
