THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Schussing Under B. M. Anspines Planned for January Weekend By Hanna Holborn, ’50 The formidable rumor fioating around campus that the ski-crazy group is going into action this Lawrence Greets Hangdog Reporter Continued from Page 1 not, unfortunately, including Graham Payn, under whose feet it would be a pleasure to be. Suddenly Miss Lawrence’s head appeared around,her doorway. She recognized our friends and began to shake hands. When she reach- ed ours we, totally devoid of our confidence, blurted “I’m from the Bryn Mawr News” and _ subsided into an unaccustomed silence. Miss Lawrence, suffering from no such trouble said in an inimitable tone, “Oh have you a nose for news?”, wrinkling the member thus refer- red to. Regaining a modicum of our for- mer self we then asked how did she like the Philadelphia audience. She replied that she always chose Philadelphia. Then we asked why the other three plays in the-cycle weren’t being given; two have been made into movies, she answered, and the other is so dramatic that she and Mr. Coward decided against it. Just as we were summoning up our. courage to take the critical plunge, Elliott Nugent appeared. Mr. Nugent received the welcome we had dreamed of, after which | Miss Lawrence turned to the cor- ridor and said puckishly, .“And is Bryn Mawr or Vassar?” The shotited reply made Mr. Nugent remark that he had just been out at Bryn Mawr. At this point Em- ily Kimbrotgh arrived and, figur- ing that the evening was at any rate a triumph for Bryn Mawr, we departed. MAYO and PAYNE — Cards Gifts RADIO Parts Repairs 821 LANCASTER AVE.

Winter after winter some of her brightest hopefuls on the basketball squad have arrived back from week-ends ensconced in casts. “I just hope it doesn’t happen again,” she. said mournfully. “Usually it’s just too late.” This year the demand for some from Switzerland, coupled with the prayers of those on campus who seem able to talk about nothing else, has forced the gym depart- ment to give'in. Although plans aren’t definite as yet, the first group to be sent out by Bryn Mawr on a mass skiing week-end will probably leave right after exams on the 30th or 31st, coming back on February 2nd. Destination— some place either in Vermont or New Hampshire, depending upon where accommodations may be had. Miss Clayton and Miss Kilby, both ardent enthusiasts, are to ac- company them — presumably to keep an eye out for Miss Grant’s interests. They will explore the delights of lounging around a blaz- ing fire in the lodge, of swapping ski stories and the somewhat in- comprehensible excitement of pelt- ing head-first into the snow. Spar- tan skiers, who enjoy rising at 5 in the morning, do, however, con- fess to one great frivolity. They will agree with the most untrained college skiing from the girls back’ Non-Reses Plan Turkey Banquet Continued from Page 1 play to see who is going to play Tigger and Eeyore. Merion \Fresh- men will present take-offs of their elders and betters, i. e., the Sen- iors. They have flatly refused to tell the plot. of their parody. Den- bigh and Pembroke have been ex- tremely mysterious about all their plans. After much interrogation a Pembroke freshman stated that “their play would be a terrific sur- prise and shock to some”, As always, dinner clothes will be required. Everyone expects great things of the local wits elect- ed. as .Toastmistresses, and they should give that certain something to the evening’s fun! Christmas preparations have in- vaded the otherwise unconvention- al life of the Non-Reses. A spray of greenery, with the appropriate red ribbon, is as yet the only con- crete achievement, but an elabor- ate menu on the bulletin board gives promise of materializing on Thursday in the form of a Non- Res Christmas feast. A whole tur- key (cooked!) is scheduled to ap- of novices that ski-lifts are indeed a wonderful invention. The Misses Clayton and Kilby expect some very happy schussing. They add, as an aside, that all those interested in going on the week-end are invited down to the gym to sign up—and, no doubt, to be measured for casts. men and women. om for school teachers and widows; A Fair Return Stock of the Bell System has long been an investment for hundreds of thousands of everyday people in all walks of life... for you, perhaps, and your neighbor; for farmers and mechanics; for professors-and the clergy; for telephone ‘These people, through their savings, share in the owner- ship of the Bell System; and it is our responsibility to see to it that they receive a fair return on the dollars they have invested in Bell System stock.

Arts’ Night The provisional committee for Arts’ Night has decided that the pear, complete with trimmings and relishes. But lest you suppose that the Non-Reses’ Christmas spirit is limited to an appreciation of food, it must be added that they, too, exchange gifts, ranging from live rabbits to powder puffs—in short, whatever is reminiscent of the receiver. ICES ‘program, which will probably take ti on Friday, April 15, is to be o-ordinated under a single idea or theme. With this in mind, the in- dividual clubs will meet to elect representatives who, the club presidents, will form the produc- tion committee for Arts’ Night.
