EAR Parents, as you read this book and hear
The jokes explained and fathom one by one
The things which make this college “lots of fun”
We bid you hush the swiftly growing fear
That all our college life is written here,

This the sum total of the things we've done.

No. We have read great poems, and the strong
‘Terse science texts have held us hour by hour.
But, in the half-light, pages lose their power;
We hear a phrase from an athletic song,

Hook on a hockey skirt and join the throng
To tea-house, chattering as we devour.

These are our guzzling moments—let them go
Lightly as they were lived. To those of you
Who doubt if all our tales of work are true,
We give assurance that new day will show
Us lib or lab bound, for none better know
Day has its dreams. But night has muggle, too.

“fp Beart Leaps Gp, When J Beholsa—”

RUSHES are bad, and happen only to the very young and the very foolish.
C Once upon a time we were very young, and the bushes on the campus were

hung with our bleeding hearts. Cecil’s heart bled indiscriminately. The rest
of us specialized more, and the paths of Gertie Hearne, Dosia, Eleanor Marquand,
Adelaide, Tip, and others would have been strewn with roses if public opinion had
permitted flowers during the war.

The type of person smitten was one of the striking things about the epidemic.
For instance, our emotional Betty Mills spent many stolen hours gazing up at Phoebe’s
window. ‘The excitable Copey was enamoured successively of all presidents of the
Athletic Association, and has had a hard time this year deciding where to bestow
her affections.

‘But there were some cases that were different from these common crushes. We
know they were different, because the victims told us so. Only the most jaundiced
mind could call by any other name than friendship Nora’s tender feeling toward
Gertie Steele, which led her to keep Gertie’s room overflowing with flowers, fruit,
candy, pictures, books, and other indispensable articles. (I always thought rather
pathetic the story that once Gertie had been exposed to the measles and for a whole
week could not be kissed good-night.) We will all admit that only the purest friend-
ship caused Marjorie to knit the shell-pink sweater and gallantly rescue V. K.’s gown
from the waste basket.

The real thing in the way of passion was the aura of emotion with which Kash
surrounded Sacred Toes. She confided her feelings to one-half the campus, and the
other half was not in total ignorance, but Kash constantly worried lest it should
leak out.

Of course, all these things happened in our extreme youth.

ELIZABETH GopwIN,
KaTHARINE WoopWarp.
Drama

HE spirit of reform in the theatre so prevalent in America in the winter of

1917-18 spread immediately to the progressive Main Line communities of

Merion and Radnor. In Merion this spirit gave birth to the “On the Square”
players. It is beyond doubt that the moral tone of the community was improved
thereby.

The first effort worthy of note was entitled ‘““The Dark Horse.” “The plot is
more subtle than that of the ordinary run of plays, and the whole is written in the
most exquisite verse. ‘The climax comes when the soldier hero is unable to save the
heroine from the base German spy because his trousers are stuck to the Dark Horse
with wet paint. With great presence of mind our soldier boy rises to the occasion
by stepping out of his trousers and performing the rescue efficiently in B. V. D’s.
Who can say that this sort of drama does not educate the taste of the community?
In the initial performance the title role was played by Miss Frances Riker, her hair
proving to be a most realistic tail.

The sincere efforts of the players were rewarded by only minor successes during
the next few months. In “Prejudice the Puritan Maid” the high-minded heroine
refuses her lover because he can read only ten pages of German per hour, and con-
secrates her life to the higher education of women. ‘This play, in blank verse, was
given for the famous Miss Sarah Taylor and her coterie. It was not appreciated.
On the whole, these great pieces of dramatic art were above the heads of the laity.
It was not until the “On the Square” players entered broader fields and gave their
never-to-be-forgotten “Birth of Meekness” that their struggle to improve the dramatic
taste of the common herd bore any fruit.

ELIZABETH KALEs.

REVIVAL of the old English tradition was the contribution of the Radnor
A group toward a general public interest in higher things. On the fourth floor

Young Lochinvar came out of the West clad technically super-correct, having
his entire costume composed of athletic clothes. He rode all unarmed, and he rode
all alone, for his good broad hockey stick served interchangeably for sword and horse.
He stayed not for break, but boldly entered the Netherby hall to find his fair Ellen
kissing a watering can.

The leading parts in the other plays were Goggin as the lily white doe, who
dropped her head in Lady Clare’s hand and followed her all the way; and numerous
bounding billows, whose loud waves lashed the floor beneath a sheet, and whose
waters wild went o’er Lord Ullin’s daughter, and ended her stormy journey in a
wicker rocking chair. The simple yet forceful settings for these classics was a note-

19
worthy break with the Belascan tradition of over ornamentation. ‘Take, for example,
their realistic Scottish lake, suggested by a single sheet, under which writhed one of
the “general utility” of the company.

In order to still the almost uncontrollable passion roused in the audience by
these artless ballads, a series of morality plays followed, taken from the book of
Cautionary Tales upon which Dean ‘Taft was raised. The justification of this method
of elevating the public has been admirably shown in the after life of the members
of that company, for was it not here that Katharine Woodward first learned the art
of fire-brigading in the denouement of Matilda Told Such Dreadful Lies, and what
but the lines of Charles Augustus Fortescue, who ‘did everything a boy should do,”
could have stimulated the self-government germ in Goggin?

Ghosts

HADOWY creatures in dim lit gardens
S Flitting about, all whites and greys,
Such was the meaning I gave to ghosts, in
My pure subfreshman days.

Different now is my understanding
College has taught me more things than one
I asked for light on a certain subject,—
Mother, they gave me the sun!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The editors do not hold themselves re-
sponsible for opinions expressed in this
column.

To the Bditor of the Coutnar News:

“We will make you love us all before
the year is done.” Thus 1921 confidently
sang at the beginning of the year, and we
had hopes. If such was their intention,
some of its members have adopted very
strange methods to accomplish this end.
We do not quarrel with them for being
“fresh”, because unlike most IFreshman
classes, 1921 has been commendably meek.

As common courtesy is to be expected
from anyone, it has never been thought
necessary to include it in Sophomore rules.
When a whole room full of Freshmen re-
mains not only glued to their seats at the
entrance of upper classmen, but even fails
to rise at the entrance of an elderly lady;
when the sidewalks are continually blocked
by sauntering Freshmen; when their whole
attitude expresses “with ’21 there is nothing
wrong”; it seems that if we would, we could
not, love them. And yet the year is almost
done.

DISGUSTED.

(In this letter the birth of Meekness,
child of 1921, was annownced. )

To the Editors:

Events of the past few days have’ led
us to believe that the Sophomores are too
much impressed with the dignity of their
own position. While we have long since
learned to consider our crackers and jam
as community property, we should like,
if possible, to keep our hats, desks, rugs,
and pictures for our own use. In con-
scription days, when time is no longer
our own, may we not pursue our Sunday
meditations free from the intrusion of rude
appraisers? If this is the Sophomore idea
of courtesy, who are they to vote the Fresh-
men fresh?

INDIGNANT SISTER-CLASSMEN.

(This letter, written a year later, proves
that Meekness was dead.)

 

Here Lies Meekness
1918 (@ Primer Lesson)

1+9+ 1+ 81918. 1918 was a Class. It was a Proud Class. We
knew the Class when we were Lit-tle but we did not know the Class well. We knew
Char-lotte and Les-lie and Vir-gin-i-a. We still know Les-lie but it is pro-nounced
Miss Rich-ard-son. Vir-gin-i-a was a Chick-et-y Chee-Chee-Chee. Yes, Vir-gin-i-a
was a Bird. Perhaps there were a whole flock of Birds in 1918. But we did not
know them well e-nough (e-nuff) to find out. It is too bad, 1918.
SH reshman Show

T IS hard to look back calmly on a state of extreme emotion, and so it is that to
I write of Freshman Show immediately throws me into such a panic that my
instinctive reaction is to snatch the blotting-paper from my desk, paint it with
stripes of red ink and twist it into a costume for “stick-candy” in the Hoover Chorus.
Confusion was the striking note of Freshman Show. Confusion for weeks before
in the practice rooms of Pembroke East, where no two members could agree on the
exact melody of “Going Up”; confusion on the top floor of Llysyfran where Emily
vainly tried to coach expression into “Is it troo-hoo, is it you-hoo?” and at the same
time teach the entire Egyptian Chorus in Schurmie’s room to balance on one foot
while going through strenuous calisthenics with arms and head. ‘The result was that
Miss Ford thumb-tacked notices on the lavatory door, saying that the floors were old
and shaky and might fall through if all the fattest members of 1921 insisted on prac-
ticing to be Isadora Duncans. What that Egyptian Chorus was we failed to appreciate
completely until we saw it through the eyes of the Sophomores later in the year. Emily
saw herself in Mad Brown; I saw myself in D. J. . . . Confusion!

My pleasantest memory of Freshman Show is the Last Day—the Day when
the scenery had not yet been located in Rockefeller basement; the Day when nothing
had yet been made in the way of costumes beside the animal costume (which, of
course, had been ready for weeks) and the Roman helmets for the Flowers in Act II.
Luckily, we had in our midst Dot Carns, who, besides being a criminal lawyer, had
degrees in cooking and sewing. Headquarters for activities accordingly shifted to
Llysyfran, where string hung in garlands from the chandelier and buttons grew on
the carpet, and twelve vigorous damsels cut up my best nightgown into twelve Egyptian

costumes.
From then on my memory is blurred. There was the make-up; there was Luz
still rushing about; there was a lone tenor singing the curtain song . . . and

then, complete oblivion.
When I came to, someone was fanning me with a copy of the College News,
which had something on the front page about a mute hero and a red color-scheme.

last who shall sigh over her name, and tremble at Miss Ford’s.
Llvsyfran was always exclusive; the first year for Freshmen only (except
for the self-sacrificing Junior chaperones); the second—having possibly learned a
lesson—for anything but Freshmen. Miss Ford preferred the first contingent. They
didn’t climb in windows at midnight, they didn’t have the flu, and they did have
a lot more beaux (she set great store by the latter).

A memoir of Llysyfran should be a series of pictures—words fail. The first
might be simply a little note flapping on a pin stuck into the great wooden ball at
the foot of the stairs, of which a close-up would show:

“Will the young lady who stole the dish-rag from the tea pantry please stop
in Miss Ford’s room at her earliest convenience ?”’

Aire is Llysyfran’s last appearance. We are the last of her veterans—we the

Another picture might show the roof—figures wrapped in comforters, distributed
at various angles, singing to the tree-tops and to the stars, nearly all night. Another:
the front hall at 11.45 P. M.; Towser standing under the moose-head, ringing the
fire-bell like a town crier; Lulu stumbling from squad to squad, recognizing not a
soul, and finally planting herself in the middle of the hall with the announcement,
“Can’t find my squad.” Still again: same hall, filled with squealing excited persons;
clouds of steam bursting from the tea pantry and filling the whole house with dense
hot fog; Miss Ford, on the verge of tears, wringing her hands, running in circles
around the hall and crying, ““The boiler has burst! What shall we do, what shall
we do, what shall we do,” etc., ad infinitum. Clouds of steam continue. Finally
enter Hero from Power House, who strides in and turns off the hot water faucet
which was causing the trouble.

There were other times . . . But Mary Lou retired promptly at 7.30
every night and began bellowing “‘Sh-sh-sh’’ at that moment. ‘The closets were all
filled with Ibby’s evening dresses, but our hearts were filled with gladness, and it was
sad indeed that just as we were beginning really to know how to spell her name
and pass the word on to our bewildered correspondents, we were forced to leave
Llysyfran. She is now dissected into apartments with six new bath-tubs. (We saw
them being carried in.) Requiescat in pace.

Warsity Dramatics, 1918

ARSITY Dramatics called for vigor and decision from the first. It called in
vain. My earliest vivid memory is of a committee meeting consisting of Miss
Hodges, Miss Martin, and me,

 

Lorna had wisely held aloof,—called at 1.30
one Tuesday afternoon to vote upon whether the chairman of the committee and the
stage-manager should be one or two individuals. Miss Martin was of the opinion
that the two offices should be combined due to stress of time; Miss Hodges felt that
the work would be too heavy for a single pair of already stooped shoulders, and
thought that possibly some one longer in college

The intervening months between that meeting and the final performance may
have been a period of pursuing an artistic ideal for those lofty others,—for me they
were one of pursuing Mrs. Patch’s beads. Nightly as she sank into the waiting chair
in the center of the gym. floor she crossed her legs at the expense of the string of
heavy wooden beads which dangled to her hem. For the rest of the evening I slid
about on splintered knees.

The night of the final performance has left only a few vague memories. I remem-
ber finding Marjorie (by that time she had said, “As long as we are going to see
a good deal of each other I suppose you might as well stop calling me Miss Martin’’)
wandering back and forth over the stage at about half-past five vainly pursued by
Cornie who was trying to forcibly feed her a crisply dry chicken sandwich; I remem-
ber the entire servants’ hall, assembled, ready to go on the stage, striking because no
one would give them spirits of ammonia to drink; I remember Nan Thorndike
landing on my head as she slid down the pole from the running track; and I remember
the gratifying glory of P. T.’s smile (as observed through a small hole in the curtain)
when Virginia naively announced that she was a chickety chee, a chickety chickety
chee.

Radnor

 

“Dear Miss

“T am pleased to inform you that you have been assigned to room

 

, Radnor,
for the ensuing year 1917-18.
“Yours very sincerely,
“EpitH T. Orvapy.”

Thus was the dreary fate of twenty-eight Freshmen sealed, twenty-eight joyous
young things still eagerly clinging to a hope of Pembroke doomed to this far reputed
hole of grinds. But they had been there only two months when they were heard
modestly singing:

“Radnor has come up a step
Ha, ha, ha!

Those Freshman gave that hall a rep
Ha, ha, ha!”

We were in those days unduly large—some of us ‘sat at every table in the
dining-room—we conversed freely, we sang well, we must have been odious.

After Freshman year our ranks were much depleted, the lure of Llysyfran and
the insidious work of mysterious summer forces having cut us down to the scant
number of sixteen. (We secretly resented the disloyalty of those who had deserted
us for other halls, but we invited them back for Sunday night supper.) Early in
Sophomore year the survivors swore eternal fidelity to Radnor, banded together in an
organization to meet nightly on the common ground of muggle, invented a graceful
sign of greeting and a whistle to call members. At dinner one evening, just after
all of the above had been decided, a newly shorn member (alas, we have had several
shearings in our flock) arose and announced amid the shrieks of her confederates (we
always enjoy our little jokes), ““The Sons of Guz will Guzzle in the Guzzleum
tonight at 9.15.’’ “Sons” we called ourselves, but we always addressed fellow sons as
“Sistern”. The somewhat perverted language of our chief merry jester infected us
all, and such words and phrases as “‘twirdy”’, “cherry tree’, and ‘“‘seven times cursed”’
became part of our common parlance. While partaking of the evening collation,
jokes are encouraged by the mild, gentle giggle of Flub-Jub and Ben Jamin’s more
than adequate imitation; our wits are sharpened by the subtleties of Hellenish humor;
and our longing for romance finds some outlet in quizzing our blushing Mary. Some-
times, of course, we feel subdued and things are dreary, but no matter what may
happen we always have with us the incessant, clever, openly cryptic repartee of
Naughts to Kash—and then, too, Copey will always spill her milk.

Mary Simpson GoccIn.
The Majority Rules

CRACKED plan was that of ’18 and ‘19 for altering our predominance in
A the affairs of the cosmos. On the night of the memorable meeting we were

instructed in the matter of straw votes. ‘hey put up their candidate; we
elected our choice. ‘Then that half vote per Freshman measure was sprung. How
they expected to pass such a delectable measure when 125 of us could balk any
majority and were essential for a quorum was quite beyond human comprehension,
doubtless beyond parliamentary usage, and perhaps beyond V. K.’s master mind.
Well, due to water-polo, the assembled multitude was given until the next meeting
to consider it.

We considered it directly. Was it within the law? “Oh, let ’em, just let ’em
thwart justice and popular will!” Thus M. S. Goggin, M. Foot, etc. We made a
plan, marched around Taylor, and, returning to our halls, did not poison the soup
of the despots.

The next meeting was called to vote on the half vote. En masse we betook
ourselves—to the Lib lawn, and danced en baccanale while the august tyrants went
up to the chapel. What did they see? No quorum? No quorum! For the quorum
was couchant on the Lib lawn. Doubtless they looked at us from the windows and
discussed us in envenomed terms. We laughed, ha ha, and rolled where the green-
sward was to be; and it so happened that we were invited to return, and that in the
spring we elected Marjorie Martin President of Undergrad.

“$f Dou Can't Fight, Farm!”

OES anyone remember a certain period of her life when her hands were chron-
D ically inches thick with Montgomery County earth? When, for a month,

she got up at 6 o’clock every morning to the tune of a triangle played by
Libby Matt? When she rode joyously to the cornfields in good Sir Henry, chauffed
by H. Hill? When, among the brighter events of the day were the harmony parties
over the canning tables—Pallas Athena and tomatoes in happy combination, where
Mary Porter and Laura Ward, ably assisted by all the mutes, cheered us on? Not
more sweetly did the tomato juice slide down our elbows than the liquid notes into
our souls. This was the privilege of the fall workers at the Farm (Baldwin School
edition, 1918).

The September division had another opportunity for musical education. Did
anyone suspect why Mrs. Frederick Manning so willingly obliged us with ‘That
Is Love” (vocal solo by H. H. T.). How could we have cut corn all day, noses
red, sneezing one thousand times, if we had not been able to look forward to “the
nicest boy I ever knew,” who was “Charles Augustus Fortescue’”—a song by the
above-mentioned artist ?

In lighter vein we entertained ourselves during the day by throwing away all of
Henrietta’s carefully picked green tomatoes, or mayhap peddling a potato or two in
the village under a weeping sky. ‘The greatest helps to the life of the party were
the Misses Spry and Dimon. Abigail Camp Still-more-spry could, at the lunch table,
chuck a week’s orders at Helen, plan the meals for five days ahead, and calm the cook,
at the same time telling the rest of the company that little food and much exercise
were the two rules for keeping fit.

Does Custis ever see Ruth Wallace nowadays? Whither is fled that visionary
gleam? And does Ann Godwin still farm every summer for pure love of the soil?
Or do the June farmers look blank when you mention Abernethy’s and the potatoes?
Well, maybe they do—but we doubt it.

Marcaret V. Morton.

 
The VDoung Visiter

1921 was a rarther large class for its age, which was about two years, and lived
in a small but costly college, with sumshious buildings and a swimming pool filled with
nearly fresh water. One day the graduate students which were a searious body
decided to ask a poet Mr. Vachel Lindsey by name to lecture to them. Mr. Lindsey
was a reddish-haired gentleman with a clever looking pink face and a voice that he
liked to sing with. He gladly came, but when he got there ’21 hit on a plan.

“Vachel” they said. ‘We have a very fine room done in brown and probably
there is some food left there from last time, anyway some pieces of crackers in the
beds, and we will give you some tea there if you like and Miss Jane Brown will be
there whose glorious dark hair you wrote a poem about if you will come.”

This short but cheerful conversation made Vachel quite forget the graduates
and he turned around and said, rarther bashully, “I will willingly come ’21—hark,

”

there is four o’clock striking now.”» Then he came into the room with a nervous walk,
and lifting up his coat tails squatted himself down in the corner.

Well, what do you do with yourselves at college, said Mr. Lindsey, feeling rarther
hot and ignorant.

Oh, we go to levies at P. T.’s said ’21, where we eat marons and talk perlitely
about publok baths and that sort of thing.

Well, some people do, said Mr. Lindsey, kindly. Just then a cheerful smell
greeted him and he partook of some lovely chocolate with fuzz on top. I see you have
a lot of books, said Mr. Lindsey, in a jelous tone. Who are they by?

Oh, by nobody of importance, said ’21, with a dainty snuffle. Mr. Lindsey was
rarther peevish at this as he saw two books of his own among them, but just then a
young lady, who in a half-dirty T-shirt and hair that was cut off short and frizzed,
thought she looked quite the thing, said, Oh, Mr. Lindsey, won’t you speak some of
your sweet poems?

That I will, said Mr. Lindsey readily, but you must promise to roar like lions
when I flap my elbows.

They all got rarther red, but seeing it was the idear they did. When he had
recited a long poem in a singing voice they thanked him perlitely and told him he must

go back to dress for the evening purformance where the perfessors would be anxshious
for their turn to roar.
 
PIRATE CREW KIDNAPS 1922 ror
SOPHOMORE DANCIE

At the Sign of the Searlet Moth, where
brown ale flowed from copper casks among
a gory pirate crew, the lreshmen found last
Saturday that they had been kidnapped and
were many salt leagues from twentieth cen-
tury Bryn Mawr. The Sophomore dance,
more elaborately and ingeniously staged
than by previous classes, proved as color-
ful a spectacle to 1922 as Banner Show
itself.

Pewter glittered from the long bar at
one end of the gym, where apples were piled,
bright cups clinked, and many a mariner
stopped to broach a cask and jest with the
graceful bar-maid, M. K. Southall. At the
other end logs blazed with red paper in a
huge stone chimney-piece, lighted by red
lanterns, and ringed with settles, made from
gym tables turned end-wise. Black skins
were deep underfoot around the hearth.

The Skull and Cross-bones, quartered
with ramping lions and galleons sailing on
the Spanish Main, lined the walls. Through
the small panes of the Swedish ladder hung
against the wall could be seen a distant
castle over the blue.

Pirate Passion Wins Applause

In the midst of the revelry, four roister-
ing blades rolled up to the bar and de-
manded, “Come, wench, we want a drink;
we come ashore through a fearful gale.”
With brimming cups they leaned over the
tables, intent on their cards and _ dice.
Rivalling to express their devotion in ap-
propriate phrases from countless college
songs, M. P. Kirkland and B. Ferguson be-
sought the bar-maid to be theirs. M. Foot,
the cynic, stroked drooping mustachios, and
stretching back in his chair, commented as
M. P. Kirkland, snarling in disappointed
rage, cursed, ‘“Hireusousai soi deine!”

After a mad jig by P. Ostroff, urged on
by hoarse shouts and clapping, the pirates
bade farewell to the Freshmen in a really
memorable song by H. Hill, ending,

“You've seen our canvas reflecting the moon,

But called it whitecaps, it vanished so
soon:

So now you'll know us, though moondown
ealls each wandering shade,

And to oblivion our black-hulled galleon
then must fade.”

Eprror’s Notre: This is the only
pleasant write-up we ever had in the
News. It was written by members of

1919 and 1921.
1919

E CANNOT know your feelings when you first saw your very red, very
\) \) numerous offspring peppering the campus and athletic fields in the hockey
season. But we can well understand that the sight of the scarlet strange
“dawn’’, which was us, made you voice your longing for the rose-colored familiar
“sunset”, which was ’17. In spite of the fact that you did voice it quite frequently,
we “thought you were the best”—leaped for joy when your banner hung on the
gym (we were kept leaping most of the time), sighed rapturously at your singing—
were, in short, as highly inflammable in our hearts as we appeared to be in our hockey
skirts. All of this might seem to indicate that you were great only in the eyes of
your enthusiastic freshmen. But that is not true. For now that we can view you
with the critical eyes of seniors, our conclusions are the same. You are still superior—
the best in athletics, the best in singing. ‘‘Here’s to our Juniors!”

Denbiah for the Denbighites

HOUGH the inhabitants of Denbigh pull together harmoniously as a rule, they
dhe had a good deal to put up with and correct in each other. Foremost is

Jane’s random cat-boarding with its consequent trail of devastation. Still,
Jane claims the last, ‘“Agnes,” proved its proud and ancient Persian lineage by its
selection of Irv’s box of manuscripts in preference to all else. “hen, of course, it is
very distressing to have Confetti become so worldly wise that she greets every anecdote
with “Now you hush” instead of accepting from her elders and betters advice on
dyeing a waist in checks by using checked Rit, or the advisability of rolling all one’s
furniture into the bathroom weekly for a scrubbing! We have tried to cure Lube
of holding in her false teeth when she laughs, and Sniff of her inordinate stufiing at
table (one string bean and four grains of rice). Genia, too, has been rather a dis-
turbing influence ever since the night of the Famous Bite. It was the night before
briefs were due, and by 3 A. M. the nerves of the literary lights in the Rabbit Hutch
were a bit frayed. Of course it was tactless of Chloe to drop a tennis ball on Genia’s
head; but how could she expect to be bitten in the finger as a result? Besides, what
class would not blush to have one of its members open at table a letter containing a
golden curl, returned to its owner by a rejected but noble swain? Chloe’s undeveloped
sense of modesty is another sore point. What could be more awful than the decolleté
costume of brief petticoat, loose hair, bare legs, and train of nondescript tapes in which
she stood calmly in the show-case door, rubbering at Chickie and, as she thought, two
boys from the blind school at Overbrook. Unfortunately, they turned out to be
Eleanor Collins’ brother and a friend from Haverford! (Sorry, Eleanor. )

Still, as we have said, the Denbighites can unite in pursuit of higher things, as
witnessed by their superb reproduction of ‘The Woman God Forgot,” with all the
Aztec actors thereof neatly but slightly clad in tea-cups and fox-furs. Luckily they
were unconscious that the performance was a death blow to Becky and Augusta, who
looked in vain for so much as the immoral pink undershirt!

Last of all are the clubs, beginning with the engagement club. Personnel: Miss
Ehlers, B. Stokes, Genia, Teddy, Chickie, Chloe and Irv. The first step off has to
treat the others, but an unfortunate undercurrent of deception has characterized it
all along, and so the members are still hungry (for further details apply to hall rep.).
We are sorry now we didn’t include Genia’s roommates, Ferth and Holly! The
club for the suppression of Teddie’s conversation about Jamie and the Welles twins
has had a notable success. We are thinking now of turning our energies to rescuing
Biffle from the depths of her solitaire passion.

Finally, we would call your attention to Denbigh’s gallant protest against money
making vocations. The Mother’s Club has a large membership: President, J.
Lattimer ; vice-president, C. Garrison; secretary, E. Harris; member, A. Taylor. We
feel that this organization will have a widespread influence, though temporarily

41
checked by internal dissension (Ann feels that she has been vice-president from the
start, but was downed by a unanimous vote of the other members; at the next meeting
a safe move as there are no

 

the creation of a treasurership for her will be discussed
funds)! It has been rumored that the president will be asked to resign on account
of her increasing sense of mission, but she has taken the stand that social work will
only fit her the better for office, as it will make her the Greatest Mother in the

World (or second greatest) !
—CLARINDA GARRISON.

Beaux Stratagem

HIS winter the Williams “Cap and Bells” Club sent out a letter in which

they stated that for the first time for a period of 25 years it was possible to see

a college presentation of ‘““The Beaux Stratagem.” ‘This statement is not so
false as it seems at first glance. For if the cutting which we were told was done in
our case had been neglected in theirs it probably would take just about that length
of time to give the complete play. If this surmise is correct, we trust that they will
omit a curtain song,—or, if not, at least change the wording to

“Give ere you leave us
An hour to our play.”

—H. D. H.
Jnfirmary Rules

Found useful by the Staff.

1. No student may develop a disease (or break a bone) except between cight
and eight-thirty A. M. and four and five-thirty P. M. If she fails to comply with
this rule she has not got it (or hasn’t broken it), but will be fined one dollar ($1.00)
for thinking she has.

; 2. If a student has broken a leg, give her calomel immediately after setting
it, to keep her walking on it as much as _ possible.

3. Crutches should be at least six inches too short, to produce a maximum
number of blisters on the hands.

4. If castor oil, fire balls, camphor pills, and iodine, do not cure it, cut it open
—preferably with a dull scissors—and watch the wheels go round. “They may
prove something. Having looked, try more castor oil, and sew it up or not, ad lib.

5. There is no diet between orange juice with milk toast and mutton with
cabbage.

6. Be as mysterious as possible about everything.

7. A student may never inquire what is the matter with her. If she does,
smile as though you knew, to prove your authority. (You are not expected to know;
Miss Mills is the only one who does that, unless she cares to tell Dr. Sands.)

7A. This rule also applies to a student who comes to inquire about a friend.
Vary the procedure here by whispering that she is doing nicely but you can divulge
no more. This is reassuring to the inquirer. It convinces her that her friend is
dying of pneumonia when she has the cold that is called “pharyngitis and laryngitis”
on the warden’s report.

8. If you bandage anything, be sure to cut off the circulation.

9. If you apply a splint, see that it presses on the break and makes the bone
come through the skin.

10. If a student has the “‘flu,’’ be sure she uses the same wash-basin as every
other patient who hasn't.

11. It is not etiquette to ring the bell for the nurse when she is receiving a
beau in the sun parlor. Be sure this is understood.

12. The sun parlor may be occupied by a student in the convalescent stage
only when the nurse has taken her caller out for a walk.

13. Students may no longer visit their friends at the infirmary. It disturbs
the maid while cleaning the floor.

Advice to students.

1. “Give up all hope, all ye who enter here.”

A. Interpretation. Be damned or at least dead, before you go there for any-
thing more vital than two reports and a quiz.

B. W.

1922

HE spice of life is not lacking in you, ’22, for yours is a variety of attributes.

They range from histrionic ability to such leadership in the C. A. as required

fresh committees for its fullest development. Art and morality—you have shown
us that a happy combination of the two is more possible than the Greenwich Village
Follies would lead one to believe.

As for your art, we love it. Not since the days of your grandparents, 1918,
have we heard cleverer songs. We like your plays, which have a light and skillful
touch. And it is pleasant to realize (after seeing Trelawney) that the light of your
dramatic lamp did not go out when Cornelia left you for the Comédie.

The moral side of your character, the reforms you perpetrated, do not arouse
such spontaneous appreciation. Blue laws go a bit hard with those of a red heredity.
But if we have at times missed the invigorating sting of interclass feeling, we are
really glad that our class baby, of the class of 1941, will know a B.M.C. where a
senior talks to a freshman “as man to man’. And in our own day of course we have
at bottom been glad of the harmony which, except for the animal episode of our
extreme youth, has marked our life together.

Pembroke East

LWAYS there are the sheep and the goats—in every community it is so, and
A the only variation is in the standard of division. In East the standard has

been one of chastity. Up in the cool blue atmosphere of Nancy’s room the
Purity League was crystallized. It would be indelicate to lay bare for publication
the creed and tenets of this organization. Its ideals relative to the behavior of the
sexes toward one another surpass those of Clarissa Harlowe. Marynia was its rigorous
president. Of her rigor and justice we had evidence after the Christmas holidays
when a certain member* was like to lose her membership by reason of too free “experi-
mentation”. Foot excused her on the old plea of acting on the scientific impulse to
investigate. If Marynia had a vulnerable point, it was her passion for science—and
yet, so soon as Easter, she was advocating an amendment to the constitution, prepara-
tory to her Boston trip.

Downstairs in Morrie’s more exotic surroundings gathered those others, headed
by Ida and Louise, who were so far outside the pure pale. Here the criterion was
not Is he pure? but rather Does he ask the question in those passionate words, ‘““My
God, little girl, how I love you!”

The cup of muggle, which makes the whole college kin, happily united the
Pure and the Passionate at night, sheep and goats (I have carefully refrained from
deciding which are which) feeding peaceably together. Discussions were many, long
and fruitless. Faith in Potter and Guy remains unshaken; the League still searches
for the Purest Man. Perhaps by this time one of its members has found the pearl
in one of the vast collegiate oysters, thereby proving that the Purity Leaguers are
not after all the goats.

—Victoria Evans.

In war time our class grew so thrifty,
We gave up all clothes extra nifty,
Also suppers and tea
(Excepting when free)
And cut down expenses to fifty! ($¢?)
—H. I. M.

Scene: Your choice of

2. The Main Street assembly hall of a West Penna. town.

3. The soft light of the Rock. fireplace.
Time: Also a matter of choice, but most precious after 12 M.

Dramatis Personae:
1 Tender Shepherd
Ist flock, ready to eat themselves into emotional satiety on whatever green
pastures he may lead them to.
2nd flock, guests of the first, but with the characteristics of wolves in sheeps’
clothing.

A resumé of the plot follows.

Before opening the meeting, the T. S. looks about for the defiant faces of those
who have been brought that they may be exposed to the Light even if they exhibit a
negative reaction toward it. “Then one of the Ist flock asks eagerly,

“Dr, ———, what do you think is the distinctive element in the progress which
has gone forward so far in the last 25 years?”

The T. S. “It was on the crowded streets of San Francisco, in the midst of the
bustle and throng of one of our modern cities that I heard from the lips of a little
newsboy the voice of our generation, ‘Let’s Go!’ ”

One of the wolves herd mutters, ‘““But where do we go from here, yes, where do
we go from here?”

The T. S. catching the inflection if not the words, ‘‘S. I. N. yes Sin. S and N
are the wall that keeps I, me, (censored). Each of us has a heart need! It is up
to each one of us to find a brother’s heart need.”

Another one of the Ist flock adds co-operatively, ““And if we who have had our
sp'endid advantages can reach these people we can make the world mean something
to them so that no matter how poor they are they can share in our great happiness.”’

Here a wolf questions whether the evolutionary process may not interfere with
the time rate of reform of the world. The T. S. is supplied with a subject to prod
toward the fold; the flock mills into a secure circle, settled for the night; the wolves
bare their unanimous fangs for a moment; and the discussion (of the kind meant
by the Board when they said, “I do hope we can get some good discussion”) begins.
After Faith has wrestled with Biology for some three hours, the wolf throws off the
sheepskin and down the gauntlet. An expression of horror is reflected from face to
face around the circle of sheep. One can foresze certain personally labelled prayers
at future meetings.

The Lights go out, but the Light

Rockefeller

HERE, oh where are the days when our only care was to arrange some new

\) \ revenge on 1918; when quizzes were new and not yet to be feared (even by

Mary); when our idle moments were spent in devising pie-beds and spider-

webs! Those delightful times came before P. T. announced the new merit rule, or

we had conscription, or May Day, or Orals. Since those innovations, times have
changed.

Freshman year there were thirty odd of us in Rock—a raucous crowd who dis-
turbed the accustomed tranquility of M. F. and 718. ’20 tried to reduce us by
losing us in the cellar and reading rules to us, and a few (i. e., Marg, who had been
brought up in an atmosphere of truth) believed what they said; but then Laura giggled
and made them mad, so they couldn’t be impressive. We soon learned the location of
all the rooms by the simple process of locking each other into strange rooms for the
night. Confinement was but temporary for Jean, however, who climbed out of Holly’s
window and across the wall into the room next door. Our chief amusement was rough-
housing; and when properly stimulated we achieved some really masterly performances
in decorating Seniors’ rooms. Result, Betty Houghton had us summoned before Self-
Gov. for hazing.

Our activities in this line have been unsurpassed except by our arguments, which
evoluted from philosophy to hygiene and social service, to marriage (just ask Laura.
Barty and Boz) and the next college president. Nor have the elements of culture
been entirely neglected, as witness Betty Jones’ classes in social etiquette. In fact, all
sorts of formative influences were at work, for ’17 lingered longer in Rock, and one
night they held a touching little ceremony in the bathroom, in which Dan McGinty
and Laura were conspicuous. Dan has had some narrow escapes—once when ’22 could
have painted him blue on Freshman night, if they had only thought of it, and once
when Miss Applebee blew the whistle before he was all the way up the pool.

All of this happened Freshman year. After that we had a jazz band, and at last
got Dorothy Walter safely married. Mrs. Vorys and the flue arrived together, but
think not that they aroused the same emotions, for “Ad” immediately became a light to
lighten the darkness of the worst quarantine. Compulsory drill was replaced the next
year by compulsory paper flowers—who shall say which was worse ?—and new celeb-
rities appeared in our midst when Barty took to singing ‘‘Mabel” and Betty displayed
her accurate aim with lemon pie.

But many have been our losses. ‘They left by ones and twos and threes. We
might almost be said to be more famous for the Rockites who have left than for those
who And we count Miss Adair as a Rockite. But others have come to us too—
Mary O’Neill, our enfant terrible, and Wigs, who is a delight not only on Thursday
nights, but throughout the week. We shall be sorry to leave. Thelma has tested
everyone's intelligence, Grace has told us jokes (?) and Matt has done “‘little nameless
acts of kindness” for everyone. And Klenke and Barty have had an eye to the future
and have brought up the Freshmen in the way they should go. In short, 1921 Rock,
we congratulate ourselves on our career.

“Come, Let Us Reason Together——”

66 OME, let us reason together,” said Dr. Derry. “You can tell a Bryn Mawr
C girl, but you can’t tell her much. A lie is an abomination before the Lord,
but an ever present help in time of trouble. Mormons are people whose
religion is singular, but whose wives are plural, and to find the fourth dimension
imagine a tomato can turned inside out. I drew a lemon in the garden of love.
(Keep your spirits up by pouring spirits down.) I know two tunes: one is Yankee
Doodle and the other isn’t. Come, let us reason together. Little feet tramping,
tramping——.”

This minus the outlines occasionally copied from the board and minus many
“said Vivian to Violet” jokes, is an exact copy of any of Dr. Derry’s Minor Economics
notes. This same paragraph, delivered from a soap box and substituting a few new
jokes and a few fiery phrases, constitutes any of the five speeches delivered by certain
Bolshevist members of the class.

“But Madam President --
An Excursion Through the Hall of Merion

(Specially contributed by Alexander Pope)
Behold where Merion rears its lofty head,
The cradle of the spirit of the red:
We enter now the stately spacious hall—
Observe the naked Venus on the wall—
But fairer Venuses than these we find
Within their perfumed boudoirs are reclined—
Here on our left we see petite [rene,
Writing or sewing on a small machine ;
(Now memory will pause and shed a tear
For Jonesy who once taught deportment here,
And Betty Llewellyn who in years gone by
Preferred elopement to our company. )
Next Cecil bursts upon th’ astonished view—
‘The model school, with fudge for her to chew
Besiege her apartment. Up the winding stair
Look, ’tis of ants and chloroplasts the lair;
Sharp to the left resides the sleek-haired Marg—
She killed Miss Swindler in a cranberry bog.
Mon occupies the chamber on the right—
Ah! Herbert, you are Fortune's favored wight!
Next, see the curtains of cerulean check—
This Mary P. and Bickey’s room, I reck—
Bick has a little meeting here but her
Roommate is riding out with Mortimer.
This is of Jane and Lulu the demesne,
Lulu improved the singing here, I ween.
See, queenly Jane with dusky love-locks rite
Sniffs a gardenia, contemplating life.
(Here Memory will shed another tear
At thought of little Bowlegs, lost and dear,
And One who sped at midnight down the hall
Chasing an apple for a hockey ball,
Late of the On the Square, Miss Frances Riker;
Miss Alice Hawkins, few are wardens like her;
Chick Parsons, who once entertained next door,
Where Betsy and Betty after held the floor)
Adventures are the lot of Betsy Kales—
The goggled-eyed Betty loves to hear her tales.

Bettina modelling Flossie out of mould.
(Now Memory sheddeth tear on bitter tear,
Aileen and Margaret once abided here,

And Gert and Minor once adorned this floor,
Alas, that neither of them do no more!)
Next Kath and Mary claim the public eye;
Katharine has spread her T-shirt out to dry,
But Mary cons the Spur while Maria presses
Her tailored shirtwaists and her muslin dresses.
(Memory’s handkerchief is sopping wet,
Grace Lubin think not that we do forget.)
Up the steep turret stairs reluctant toil

To visit Dot McBride, a charming goil,

Her clothes are snappy and her manners gay,
And near her dwell the pair, Sy/vine and Kay.
Kay nurses in a cap and apron white

Or teaches Pedro how to read and write.
Her room-mate is a stately nymph in green
A cousin to our precious Sam, Sylvine.

Full many a party do these maidens hold,
And read about the fire when winter’s cold.
*Tis ruefully we leave this ancient hall,
Finding it is the pleasantest of all.

 
1920

N THIS page we ought to write something startling, something that would
() make you cry, “Will you look at this? 1921 is certainly the most But to

be thus startling would require either inexcusable insolence or sudden senti-
mentalism. In any case we would have to be roused. If we were writing in Freshman
or even in Sophomore year this would have been easy. But in the wisdom of our
maturer days we grew into an attitude of liking for individuals and indifference to
groups. he hatchet is buried, and although we would not disinter it, the new era
of unbroken calm grows dull at times and we find ourselves thinking fondly of the
days when you were here—and peace was not.

The Night Before the Morning After

Dramatis Personae:

Leech: A person who has no class notes to speak of and has read one out of
eight books. She is lazy, not stupid.

Suckee: One who has read them all and takes down her lectures verbatim.

She has dodged the Leech successfully since 4 P. M., and is now foiled because
the halls, unfortunately, lock at 10.30.

Enter Leech: Oh, are you studying for the quiz? I won’t disturb you a minute.
I suppose you know everything and have been studying for days! My dear, I liter-
ally don’t know a thing. You should see my notes. I can’t make anything out of
them. As to reading—well, of course! You people who raise the standard make me
sick. I suppose you know all about Spenser. What were his dates anyway? Thanks.
Have you any reading notes?

(Pause, during which the Suckee sighs, nods, and turns to her notes to reopen
negotiations with the spirit of the professor. )

Leech: It’s awfully cold in my room. Do you mind if I sit here and study if
I keep perfectly quiet?

Suckee (with enthusiasm): Do.

Leech (embarking upon a piece of salt-water taffy): You know I have the worst
headache. I simply couldn’t study all day. Have you ever heard of Horace Walpole?
I’m sure I never have. I’ve got to get merit on this quiz. (In an aggrieved manner,
seeing that the Suckee has apparently “gone into retreat.) Oh, would you mind
telling me just one thing?

Suckee: What?

Leech: Well, exactly who were the poets of the Eighteenth Century?

Suckee (bitterly): Is there anything else you want to know?

Leech (with a quavering voice): Oh, you know I don’t want to bother you.
Don’t trouble, please, if you’re busy. Goodness, my head aches!

Suckee (wearily): Oh well, the first really important one

Leech (who has been greedily attentive, like a lap-dog at tea time): Oh, that’s
great. “Thanks a lot.

Suckee: I think I'll go to bed now.

Leech: Do you mind if I stay until you have had your tub and look over your
reading notes?

 

Suckee (in honey tones): Dearie, I am going to open the window now.

Leech: I guess I'll go, although I can’t go to bed yet. Good-night.

Suckee turns out light and sees the door shut and sighs with relief. A head
reappears in the door.

Leech: What did you say Walpole’s dates were?

Suckee (yawning): I’ve forgotten. (Exit the head.)

Suckee waits until the footsteps are out of hearing, then she shuts the window
again and turns on the light. Enfin seul!

The Mesolate Diner
or

FH uneral Bakemeats

UNIOR-SENIOR supper play! ‘The words alone are mirth provoking (pro-

voking, certainly). The gym was draped in black to resemble a dining car.

The Seniors were quick to appreciate this emblem of mourning, and their sensi-
tive souls were touched with such sadness that not even Marynia’s perfectly ripping
pants could make them smile. Even Chloe in Zinc-O and a red flannel wrapper
covered with purple petunias (borrowed with infinite tact from a slovak grad “‘because
its our class color you know”’) retreating from her accidentally locked exit into the
arms of the grinning waiters failed to cheer them. Alice was particularly sad because,
though at her urgent, one might almost say peremptory request, the seating had been
rearranged to give her a place beside her Jewel, at the last moment her heart’s desire
did not turn up. She consoled herself in one corner of the gym with her second-best,
dancing the Hoover Cabinet, so-called because it economizes space.

Well, anyway the food was good and the delightful melodrama of Alice and
Darth and their hero Hugh was thoroughly enjoyed by the waiters.

—HELEN Irvin Murray.

There once was a playful young goat
Darn bought him, for reasons remote.
His hunger was great
Shrubs and note-books he ate

This rapacious, voracious young goat.

T IS all very well in these days of anti-potterism and cool practicality to scoft
I at the “curse of the red and the green” which hung heavy over ’17 and 719; and
to resolve that in our estimate of you reason shall guide us and sentimentality be
dissipated. So, in measured terms, we might praise you for your tennis, and for the
fighting spirit which in a certain water-polo game made us glad when the whistle
blew; and we might remark upon the excellence of your Caesar and Cleopatra. All
of this, and more besides, would be quite correct. Yet it is not the whole truth;
and so, at the risk of being accused of falling under the ancient curse, we must add
that “from morn till night, we’re telling you right, we love nobody but you”.

She’s always on the spot,
She kept accounts well freshman year—
They tallied to the dot—
Executive ability—

You know how much she’s got,
And she looks sweet in evening cloths—
(Triumphantly) ‘The class owes her a lot!
Biffy and Ellibell: (Unofhicially) Oh, if you’re counting looks,
(Reciting alternate lines) You know,
She can’t be half so good as Chlo.
(Officially) Chloe was marvelous at school
At doing things like that,
Once she gets started, she’s got pep
She puts through what she’s at.
Lulu: She never gets things done, I think,
She’s lazy as can be!
And I don’t care, I don’t see how
She’s up to Mary P.
Fres.: (With hammer accompaniment) Oh will the meeting come to order?
We haven’t got to Mary Porter.

 

Ann: Come, you just give Chlo a chance
Gosh, she looks wonderful in pants!

If you don’t believe it, just ask Jean.
I don’t remember having seen
Just what she wrote, or heard them curse.
And I really know nothing at all about verse.
I’d like to speak for Miss Parsons,
Whom I nominated, I think,
And say that she saved freshman show
When it was on the brink
Of being just no good at all,
By doing Luz’s hair
In such a way that she looked tall.
You know you can’t compare
Luz with anyone in the class.

Never to go. You disgrace the college.

There’s an oral song we must learn right away.

Cecil: About Apparatus—you can’t go yet!
There’s an exercise I’ve decided to set
That the other classes can’t possibly get.
You never touch the bars at all
Until you somersault and fall
And stand on your head on a basket-ball.
It isn’t hard. Come try it, you-all.
(At this point there is a general upheaval and exodus.
Above the talking the harmony club can be heard
trying the new song and switching into “Ragtime
Cowboy.” )
Scribe’s Note: The only thing I’m sorry for
Is that we'll hear these sounds no more.

Jlluminations of the Lib

REFER in my title not to the hundred yards of curly brass and three circlets of
I speckled lights which were suddenly suspended in our midst last year, and which

thrust themselves most unpleasantly into one’s impassioned contemplation of the
beautiful red and black maze above. No, it is not of these I would speak, but of
certain well known high lights in a Libby life: the Merion mélé in front of the left
hand fire; Pickle on the main alley receiving a steady stream of lap callers; Delly
philosophising to Sandy in inaudible tones just outside the new book room door. A
guiet place to rest and sleep is the Lib (some people can sleep in a thunderstorm), but
not without its little fun.

That some find life there a little drab at times is evidenced by the following
poem, which was handed to me:

“Six mid-years close before me
A January day
Three yellow walls around me,
Two inkwells and a tray.
I lean upon my blotter
And yearn my heart away.”

But we cannot sink into utter dullness, for the monotony may be lightened any
moment by the entrance of a crowd of visitors eager to behold the painted features
of our president; or our attention may be intrigued from our books by the appearance
of the Oxford graduate trundling a pile of wood; or, best of all, a cat may come
in, and what, I ask you, could be more novel and amusing than a cat?

If you think the Lib is dull, it is simply because you are an amateur at lib life,
or, perhaps, instead of joining the upper strata, you have fallen in with the inhabitants
of the underworld

 

a dingy people, living among piles of books. The real Libbites
remain as much as possible in the upper regions, and are a simple race, prone to sleep
and laughter.

Che Return of the Mative*

NTER P. T. from Rock arch at 8.40 on an October morning. She wears
LE a turban and under one arm carries a marble seat with dolphin arms to be

installed in the deanery, and under the other an Arab Sheik, for the same
purpose. She is preceded by eight little black boys, who double shuffle toward Taylor
steps chanting:

“Thou Gracious Inspiration, thou busy bee,

Mistress and Mother, all hail, P. T.
Goddess of Wisdom, thy talk divine

Hath beaconed all Araby to thy shrine.

And we thy black boys would thy servants be,
Thy boots to polish in the deanery.”

As P. T. ascends senior steps she hears a confused noise in the distance as the
college awakens and streams into the chapel.

P. T.: “This is the Taylor primeval, the tessellate tiles and the statues:

As of old when the leaders of women came to bow down at my footstool,

Came in their robes academic, came to inquire of my knowledge,

How to wrest woman suffrage from congress—

So in this new generation their daughters are reverently waiting

Clad in their robes academic, are waiting for me, their apostle.”

Black boys hold open door, chanting,

“Hic, haec, hoc,
Huius, huius, huius,
Huic, huic, huic.”

Enterting the chapel, P. T. stops in amazement as she sees the rows filled with
students in bathing suits and gay hockey skirts, and the platform occupied by C. M.
K. A.-p-L-b-e, the spirit of college activities.

Cc. M. K. A. (finishing sermon) :

“So go for All-Philadelphia,
A licking is always swell for her,
Hi, give ’em hell, give ’em hell, give ’em hell,
Bryn Mawr! Let’s all give a yell for her.”
Choir responds pounding floor with hockey sticks,
“Anassa, Kata, Kalo, Kale,

Amen, Amen, Amen, Hooray!”

P. T. (advancing in a towering rage) :
“What means this vulgar commotion, this unacademic haranguing ?
Where are the hymns and the anthems, the prayers and petitions of Barty,
Who are these daughters of Satan, these profligate wastrels in scarlet?
Are these to be leaders of women, are these to enforce prohibition ?
In the name of the League of the Nations, | command you descend from the
rostrum !”
C. M. K. A. answers by hurling a Bible, and P. ‘T. retaliates with Sheik and
the arm chair.

Four hours later nothing remains but the arm chair and three white hairs. “The
little black boys sit around sobbing huic, huic, huic. . . . The college files out
slowly, singing,

They are ours where’er they may be,
Tho’ their elements were mixed and their wills a trifle fixed
Hail Apple! All hail P. T.!”

FA Ballad of Pembroke Wiest

HERE was a hall, by name Pem. West,
A very pleasant spot,

Where life was gay, and friendships warm—
(Although the toast was not).

Now in this hall lived fifteen girls.
(They all were bright and sweet.)

And some fed late each Sunday morn—
And some ate Shredded Wheat.

Will those who lived there e’er forget
The phases Darn went through?

From saxophone to playful goat;
Accordions; bath salts, too.

Will Luz forever take delight
In tripping people’s heels?

A childish sport—and yet, recall
Her dignity at meals!

Will Mabel ever leave her roof,
And sleep as others do?
And will she yodel down the halls
When she is eighty-two? (I think she will.)

Of Emily and her fifty beaux
I could examples cite,

And tell of visits to the Inn.
I could—but is it right?

At Kat and her hilarious jests

We've laughed through many a meal;
(And let me add that Kat herself

Did laugh quite a good deal).

Now let us sing of blushing Mag
(For that’s a serious case).

She is a worldly, wicked vamp,
Though innocent of face.

78
Oh, Slightly, giving mental tests
And saving chicken’s lives:

Cecile, with ever hurrying step,
And very large brown eyes;

And Ellen ripping sweaters out,
‘Then knitting them again;

And Jimmy, very fond of pools;
—Oh, praise them all, my pen!

‘Yo Henrietta, neat and spry;
To Maria’s lucid mind ;

Louise’s giggle, Hooven’s pills,
And Dot's rocks, ranged in line;

‘To all of these I sing a song,
And add to it a cheer—

And, as for me, I wish this were
Our youthful Freshman year!

AP ss through the winter twilight. Within were Helen and Mary, Pond and
‘Tagore.

“Where shall I find him?” inquired Dr. Tagore in a high monotonous voice.

“Who?” asked Helen.

“The man of my heart.”

Ohi

Then followed a monologue by the Indian gentleman and after a few more
attempts to turn it into conversation Helen decided that he must be rehearsing his
speech for the evening and settled back for a nap. Mr. Pond, however, was not
sleepy. He constantly burst forth with,

“Gosh! Mr. Tagore, just look at that sky. Poetical? I'll say so.” And

“Gosh! That’s pretty.”
but the Sage continued to murmur like TVennyson’s Brook. Ponds may come and
Ponds may go, but he

“Gosh, here we are!” said Helen as the car drove into Pem. Arch.

At dinner Mr. Tagore rehearsed another speech to a hushed bunch of listeners
at one table while Mr. Pond kept the other in roars of laughter. Afterward there
was a glimmer of conversation which quickly died when Mr. Tagore said,

“} met a man in London once; he was an
agent, too, Mr. Pond.”

Then Mr. Pond expatiated on Mr. Tagore
as though he were one of Madame Tussaud’s
best:

“He does not use rouge or other cosmetics.
All his clothes were made especially for him in
Japan” At this point the wax work mur-
mured sweetly,

“Ts Mr. Pond talking about me?” And
some irreverent soul piped up,

“Now it’s Mr. Tagore’s turn to tell where
Mr. Pond got his clothes.”

“The manufacture of B.V. . . .” oblig-
ingly began Mr. Tagore, but here Helen inter-
rupted with,

“T think we'd better go down to the gym,
don’t you, Mr. Pond?”

“Gosh! Yes!” said the irreproachable.

N SOME ways you are rather like every other Freshman class. The regular
autumnal letter in the News has called you fresh when you were not fresh. And

your first athletic song was peculiar. (It is still peculiar.)
In some ways you are different. For instance, in the quantity of debutantes;

in your ingenuous lack of constraint before upper classmen; and in the number of
people you had on Varsity. These and other cheerful facts prove that, not only
in the shade of its Hockey skirts, the light blue is becoming less pale. Gloria in

SMlinnie the Milliner
or
Al. C. T.’s Struggle for Economic Independence

HEN Minnie Thomas was just eighteen years old she was as lovely a slip

\) \ of a girl as ever blossomed like a lily from the gutters of the Baltimore slums.

So it was one day that Lionel Morehead swinging through Sweeney Street

espied her emptying swill out of the front window, and ’twas not long ’ere he had

wooed and won her. At first all was sunshine and happiness and twelve little ones

blessed the union. Their names were Charley, George Barton, Samuel Claggett, Lucy,

Esther, Constance, Henry Nevill Sanders, Georgiana, Ethel Sabin, James Llewellyn
and James Leuba Morehead, and Delly who was the last to see the light.

But now a storm broke. Lionel grew neglectful and niggardly. Minnie’s
heart was racked by Charley’s toes protruding from holey boots, while the twins,
Samuel and Constance, were forced to take turns at their flannels. Something had
to be done, and Minnie remembered how in the good old days she trimmed her
bonnets— bonnets envied by no less a person than Mrs. Russell Sage. She timidly
suggested to Lionel that she set up a hat shop and pay a few bills.

“A hat shop!” said Lionel, and swore a great oath, kicking George Barton, who
merely smiled patiently and indicated with swimming eye that he wouldn’t return it.
“By God you shall never work for a living so long as I can use two hands (and feet)
even if you are starving. I will sacrifice all twelve children rather than my honor.”
And he broke the ear drums of James Llewellyn who was a sickly little boy anyway.

Minnie dared not violate her marriage oath, but for the sake of the children
she resorted to degrading methods which harrowed her pride. She cried for eight
days, on the last of which Lionel swore his greatest oath, flung out his permission,
trounced Georgiana and permanently disabled Henry Nevill. At this display of
male brutality Minnie became aware that Lionel was a true man, and in a noble fury
she rushed to the window and hung out a number of hats for advertisement. At
once she had a success, but in the days of her greatest triumph she did not forget the
family. Every three hours, or was it four, she would rush down from her uptown
shop to care for little Delly, and she took a tender pleasure in telephoning Izzie, the
hired girl, to produce a No. 1 luncheon when Esther and Lucy invited their play-
mates in.

She was now a millionaire, and one evening as she sat by the fire smiling at
her little brood, which was being hypnotized by James H. whose psychic gifts were
developing rapidly in his father’s absence, there came a knock at the door. This
brought Henry Nevill out of his trance and he began to scream loudly at sight of
a hat pin stuck (by J. H.) through his thumb. A familiar oath rang through the
room, striking terror to the hearts of all. In at the door stumbled a sodden wreck,

Lionel.
84
“Minnie”, he muttered miserably. “Minnie, I am broke. Lend me $3.60 to
put the business on its feet again!”

Minnie surveyed him calmly with the perfect poise which comes to a woman
when she is economically independent. ‘No, Lionel,” she said, in clarion tones. ‘I
will not lend you $3.60 to put the business on its feet. I am no longer Minnie More-
head but Minnie Thomas (née), and earning my own income to spend as I will,
wisely like a woman, not viciously like a man. It is my business now to be hard
hearted, for the sake of my children.”

At this the miserable wretch burst into D. T.’s at her feet. The twelve children
set up a great hue and cry. Ethel, who was a sweet little thing and whose heart
was not yet so hard as her mother could have wished, tried to soothe her father’s
writhings by promising that she would break open her penny bank and supply him
with at least the sixty cents of the $3.60 required. James H. merely gazed at his
father, entranced by such a show of animal behavior. Constance very practically
threw some cold water over the prostrate rake, whose enfeebled constitution could not
withstand such treatment, for he gave a last chilly shudder and lay still. Minnie
merely signified to Izzie that she might send for the undertaker as she could not waste
her time in such menial tasks. The children formed an awestruck but relieved circle
round their deceased parent. Esther thoughtfully carried Delly in her arms that he
might not miss so moving a moment, and although James Llewellyn and Henry
Nevill were heard to mutter that theirs was “‘a nasty father anyway”, George Barton
reproached them all by lifting his pale blue eyes to heaven and saying softly, “O Lord,

we thank thee for this beautiful evening!”

How to Tell the Birds from the Cild F lowers*

*The editors felt obliged to censor this lyric since they feared its dignity and
beauty might overexcite the emotions of some of the younger readers and cause
faintness or hysteria.

gifted with aesthetic susceptibilities, even when we observed them trotting
ab-aht in their sunbonnets and aprons in the bright June weathah. We nevah
doubted that their sojourn undah Taylah Towah had left its mark. Now we have
absolute proof. On first sight of these remarkable pictures, whose theme is our deah
campus, we said to each othah, “This is an alumna.’”’ And when, one merry noon-
tide, we saw in a little basement shop these glorious paintings offered for sale, we

jumped at the opportunity and, hugging each othah, said, ‘How much?” They said,
“$4.50.” We said, “This is IT, IT, IT!!!!”

Transpose yourselves in speereet to a most comfortable divan from which alone
such mastahpieces can be enjoyed. Let us now gaze first upon one which might be
called, dn Eearthquake in the Library. The wavy contours of the sombre mass of the
building convey the feeling of impending disastah, while the creamy textuah of the
fountain recalls something intimately familiah to us all. Its companion pieces, Fire
Works at Kubla Khan’s Ice Palace and The Hershey Apple Tree have succeeded at
least in bringing the stars delightfully close. In the idyllic scene, the Pueblo and the
Poplar, we see that the frank yellow and green are boldly contrahsted and the whole
has a feverish brilliancy. Another of these hors d’oeuvres is popularly called Cherry
Tree Recovering from the Mange. Jam not surprised if this audience does not like
it. As Tagore said, after three hours of meditative silence, it takes forty years of

intensive training to comprehend these things.

"LL tell thee everything I can
About our janitor.
I saw an aged, aged man.
A-sweeping up the floor.
“Who are you, aged man, I said,
And why do you do this?”
In cockney accent he replied
““A man of Letters, Miss.”

He said, “They’ve given me degrees
At Oxford, Cambridge, too,

I speak in several tongues with ease—
I’ve read the Iliad through.
My reasons are not numerous

88
For cleaning out your halls,
It’s just because I’m humorous,

And chic in overalls.”

And now if e’er by chance I roam
Within the learned door
Of any library at home
To get the last Tagore,
I weep, for it remindeth me
Of that old man I used to see,
Who cleaned the lib at B. M. C.,
Whose hair was white, you’d all agree,
But brown, he said, when out at sea,
Whose wife had fallen from high degree
And suffered epilepticly,
Who told Miss Reed that dust, pardee,
Must caustic efHorescence be,
Then disappeared mysteriously
From sweeping up the floor.

1921

T SEEMS unnecessary for us to write what we think of ourselves: we already
know what we think, and other people think they know. Something not so
well understood is the reason for certain reactions of other classes and individuals

toward us. Upon this subject the following quotation from a well-known Psychology
book may be illuminating:

“That colors have a profound psychological effect on human beings is a fact
which should be appreciated. Used in small quantities the color red, for instance,
is most stimulating, both in the way of helping to overcome depression and quick-
ening the intellectual processes. But when used in any great amount it tends to
overstimulation, with resultant nerve-strain. “There are some people so constituted
that they become violently excited, fall into convulsions, or faint, if obliged, even
for a short time, to look at anything vividly red.”

We feel that this explains many things.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

While we do not sell women’s clothing, it is our
experience that there is, on the part of many
women, especially those interested in sport, a grow-
ing tendency to purchase from us for their own use
Motor Coats, Sweaters, Wool Caps, Waistcoats,
Gloves, Mufflers, Boots, Leggings, Puttees, etc.,
liking these articles all the more apparently be-
cause, as distinct from being “mannish,” they are
the very things that are worn by men.
