Louise Dickey Selected verbial “wild ass.” As Second Alternate Third Choice for Fellowship Has Average of 88.837 ~~ Louise Atherton Dickey, the second alternate European fellow, had a sin- gularly unacademic preparation for college. Up to her thirteenth year she enjoyed the freedom of the pro- In 1927 she went to school for the first time in Switzer- land. Before that she had’ learned how to read from her family while living on their farm in Oxford, Penn- sylvania; se also learned German from a German refigee. In 1931 at the Swiss school she failed five col- lege boards, but surmounted these diffi- culties after a year at the Misses Kirk School in Bryn Mawr. Miss Dickey has spent three sum- mers doing special work; at the Uni- versity of Lausanne in 1931, at the University of Heidelberg in 1935 and under Dr. Dinsmore at Columbia in 1936. In college her outside activi- ties included League work and mem- bership in’Glee Club for one year. She took Archaeology, her major subject, for the’ first time in her Sophomore year and kept up with her German by taking first year German literature which is “very important for archaeo- logical purposes.” In the dragon costume Miss Dickey found her personal experiences in May Day “agonizing,” which is not surpris- ing considering that her suit weighed 87% pounds without the head. As for May Day in general she feels that it is too valuable to the college to be ‘given up, but that it would be an injustice to the students to go on making it bigger and better. Compre- hensives she thinks are “a good idea” but that they have “worked out badly for this class,” Miss Dickey is re- - turning to Bryn Mawr next year to ~ continue in her chosen field, and her ‘greatest ambition is to go to Athens as a member of a dig. % PLAY BUREAU OFFERS LARGE CASH PRIZES The second play competition of the Bureau of New Plays for college stu- dents and recent graduates has been announced by its director, Theresa Helburn.

After considerable delay, the judges returned and M. d’Arciet expressed their_opinions. in an extremely witty speech. Taking due consideration of the scholarly form of Miss Houck’s treatment, the charm of Miss Dolo- witz’ personal approach and _ the purity of her French, they had finally decided to award the medal to Miss Hutchings, both on account of the value of her subject matter and the ease of her presentation.

SQUASH COURT FUND BEGUN BY FATHERS The ‘squash courts, long a part of the expansion. program of the college, have at last become a potential real- ity. A fund for their construction was started recently when a letter signed by Mrs. Collins, Miss Petts and Mildred Bakewell, President of the Athletic Association, went to the father of every “undergraduate.- The letter gave each parent an opportun- ity to contribute something, however little, to the permanent equipment of the college. When the courts are built a plaque will be attached nam- ing the donors as the fathers of those undergraduates who were in college in the year 1937. . The plan for raising the money for the courts was devised by Mrs. Col- lins, who received her inspiration from a similar plan used at Princeton while her son was an undergraduate there. At that time a Mother’s -Fund. was raised to use for improving the equip- ment of the health department of the college. HOCKEY.
