_Class Swimming Meet'
Is Hotly Contested

Time for Backstroke Tied;
Sophomores Win

 

DANIELS PLACES FIRST

 

On Friday afternoon, the Sopho-
mores swept into the lead with, 30
points to their.predit in the first inter-
class swimming meet of the. season.
1934 took second place with 23 points
and 1 65 third with 12.

The 40-yard back stroke, the most
exciting of the events, was. run off
in two heats.. In the first, Mitchell
led Porcher at the turn, but faded
out to lose by a few inches to her
steadier opponent. In the second
heat, Woodward came in first. by a
length to win third place in the event:
Porcher’s time, 32.1 seconds, equalled
the college record.

In the 80-yard freestyle, Daniels
had the lead all the way to break the
college record of 60 seconds by clock-
ing 59 flat. Van Vechten took second

_and.Waldemeyer-third-place-in-a-close

struggle for the lead on the turn.

In the side stroke for form, Bill
took first place with an easy stroke
and 22.5 points in her favor. The
event was very close and the form
shown by those who placed varied
only slightly. Hemphill took second
honors with 22.5 points, and Porcher
tied with Bishop for third place with
21 points. Mitchell led the field in the
crawl for form, with Whiting and Bill
taking second and third places, re-
spectively.

Stokes nosed out Wylie, last year’s
winner of the 40-yard freestyle, with
a time of 27 seconds in a fast finish
with her rival close on her heels.

The diving, always awaited with
great impatience, did not prove to
be quite so spectacular as usual be-
cause of a poor board. Daniels, as
usual, led with a total of 40.6 points,
but Stokes, who has been improving
all year, gave her a close run with
38.2 points, beating her on the run-
ning front, and was only one point be-
hind Daniels’ half gaynor with her one-
and-a-half on the difficulty dive. Most
of the diving practice has been on
the Baldwin School board in prepa-
ration for the Swarthmore meet,
where we hope to see Bryn Mawr
make an excellent showing.

The relay, always the climax of

‘the meet, went to 1936, with 1934 and

1937 taking second and third places.

Daniels led the meet for individual |

points with 45.6 points, with Stokes
a close second with 43.2 points.

Next Friday, the second interclass
meet takes place when class and in-
dividual honors will be awarded and
the Varsity will be chosen for the
Swarthmore meet at Swarthmore on

times, Felix Mottl, famous conductor
of Bayreuth fame, and Clemens
Kraus, conductor formerly in Frank-

fort and now in Viehina, who was also
guest conductor with the Philadelphia
Orchestra a few seasons ago.

The first part of last Thursday’s
program was devoted to contrapuntal
Church Music of the 16th Century, in-
cluding Motets by representative com-
posers of the Italian, Netherland and
German Schools. Of these the Motet,
O Rex gloriae,by Palestrina (for some
obscure reason Latinized into ‘‘Prae-
nestinus” on the Program) was per-
haps the best sung. The quality of
the Soprano Voices was good, having
that pure passionless clarity and
sweetness which always reminds one
héw immeasurbly superior — boys’
voices are to women’s for this type
of music, but the Alto voices were dis-
tinetly not so pleasing, having on oc-
casion a rather harsh effect and par-
ticularly when, as seemed to be rather
too often the case, they were appar-
ently being forced in the forte pass-
ages. There was also occasionally, a
lack of clearness in the weaving of
parts in the middle voices which may
however have been partly due to the
acoustic properties of the Hall, as I
am told that this was not so apparent
to listeners when the choir sang over
the radio a day or two later.

As an encore an arrangement for
solo voice and accompanying chorus
of Mozart’s exquisite little solo-song,
“Schlafe mein Prinzchen,” was given
with irresistible charm and finish. The
solo voice was of beautiful quality
and a high C was. reached with ap-

which contained some very interesting
and unusual chordal progressions,
having a flavor of the old tenth and
eleventh century Organum in modern
guise as to tonality.

The second part of the Program

was a performance by the entire Choir |

in costume of an amusing little comic
Opera Die Opersnprobe, by Lortzing,
the nineteenth century German com-

same thing is true of the arrange-

which was given as an encore, al-
though here the excellent effect of the
slight anticipation of the second beat
of the measure, common to the real
| Viennese waltz interpretation, and the
wonderful rhythmic swing, maintain-
ed throughout, gave the piece the ef-
‘fect of real orchestral playing. An-
other delicious arrangement of an old
Viennese tune, “Meine Mutter war

Emperor and the Carpenter (which;®" encore, was one ‘of the most de-
sounds rather “Alice’”-y, but isn’t!). | lightful successes of the evening.

The music of this work is charming, if ;
undistinguished, and was delightfully |
sung; but the outstanding feature of |

the performance was the extraordi-
nary. aplomb and easefulness of the
youthful actors which had a quite pro-

fessional touch without the usual con-:

comitant ‘of objectionable precocity
which one might have been led to ex-
pect from players of such a tender
age. The Lortzing*dpera was substi-

songs by modern German: composers,

Lenz uns grussen, and a delightful:
arrangement of a Waltz from Johann

Strauss’ comic opera, Die Feedermaus.
In these, owing to the more harmonic |
style and music, the lack of clarity |

One of the most marked characteris-
tics of the entire performance was the
excellent precision and flexibility of
the singing, which enabled the Direc-
tor, Herr Hans von Urbanek, to con-
trol every effect. of dynamics or tempo
with the slightest movement of a fin-
ger or a look, and the very apparent
‘eagerness and enthusiasm of each boy
to give of his utmost as a young art-
ist. The fine musicianship of the Di-
rector both in his conducting and in
his ac€ompaniments showed him to be
an artist of the highest attainments
and the unremitting patience and de-

The McGill Daily, student publica-
tion of McGill University in Mon-
treal, comments that 1,500,000 grad-
uates were turned out by American
colleges and universities in 1933, only
15 per cent. of which have so far suc-
ceeded in finding jobs, and goes on to
show how Canada puts out college
graduates in the ratio of one in one
thousand, while its neighbor to the
south graduates twenty. The Canad-
ian editor is slightly skeptical con-
cerning extreme liberality of Ameri-
can education, and suggests that the
more conservative view on education
on his side of the line is perhaps the
safer course.—(N. S. F. A.)
