ANCIENT CHRISTMAS CAROLS
SUNG BY MODEL SCHOOL

“Shepherds’ Scene” Written, Gostumed
and Acted by Pupils of School

Ss pecially Con tributed

A Christias program of old Catalonian,
- French and Latin carols arranged by Mr.
Placido de Montoliu’ and -a-“Shepherd’s
Scene”. written by Martha Mott Kelley,
Class VII, were given by the Phoebe Anna
Thorne Model Schoo], on December 20, in
Taylor Hall. Keen interest was shown in
the program by a large audience, not only



- because of the intrinsic beauty of the music,

-but, because the d
given in the songs and the play was en- |

dramatic interpretation

‘tirely the work of-the pupils of the school ;
all the costumes used in-the play were also

« made by the: pupil's under the direction of

the school art department. «
““The- Shepherd’s Scene,” which was laid
in a Judean shepherd’s home on the even-

ing of the birth of Christ, was entirely the:

work of Miss+-Kelley, who took the part
of the old shepherd in the play.’ The writ-
ing showed not only an appreciation of

’ the colorful detail of a shepherd’s life, but

a ‘sense of mystic beauty, which was ad-
mirably interpreted by each actor. The
absolute sincerity and reverence of the
pupils taking part in the scene lifted it out
of the ordinary and~ made ‘the audience
share in the wonder and awe of the
shepherds.

Sincerity and reverence, indeed, charac-
terized the whole program. This together

ith the dramatic interpretation and ar-
”tistic variations in expression gave vivid
meaning to the carols; this was particu-
larly noticeable in the old carols, such as
“Kings of the Orient,” which. under the
new interpretation regained all that it may
have lost, under familiar usage.

Mr. Placido de Montoliu was assisted in
arranging the old tunes by Professor J. M.
-Beck, former professor of Old French at
Bryn Mawr, and by Mr. Kurt Schindler.



ALL-PHILADELPHIA SHATTERS
VARSITY IN FINAL MATCH



Splendid Teamwork of Brown Players
Outdone by Tactics of Visitors

Frequent spurts of brilliant playing and
clever stickwork enabled 1921 AH-Phila-
delphia to maintain a stubborn lead over
Varsity, resulting ina victory in the last
hockey game of the season on the Satur-
day before Christmas vacation. Not so
close a match as last yéar’s in ‘which the

- victory went to Bryn Mawr 6-5, the game

was nevertheless packed with interest from
the start; the splendit teamwork. of... Var-
sity made a turm of the tables imminent,
its failure due most directly perhaps to the
mediocre shootitig of the forward line:
Taking the visitors by surprise the
Brown forward line swept the ball into
Bryn Mawr territory at once and D. Lee
at center scored the first goal through a
stiff skirmish. All-Philadelphia soon an-
swered with ‘a swift shot by Miss Cheston,
inside, who followed it up immediately by
another sttinning goal. Varsity then tried
a combination out on the left wing but in

_ spite of M. Faries’ clever tactics their op-

‘ponents got away with the ball again and
again, hammered at the home goal for the
next three tallies. Bryn Mawr’s defense
_ then stiffened up. A. Nicoll at right half
passed the @all up to M. Mutch, left inside,
who. quickly ee it into the second score
for - Varsity. _ Séitewedsby: a shot)
by D. Lee, bringing the score to 5-1 in

VOLUNTARY COMPULSORY PLAN

To Discuss Plans For Rewalalina
Chapel Attendance Tomorrow Night

The questionnaire submitted to the Col-
lege before vacation to determine the stu-
dents’ stand in regard to continuing Sun-¢
day chapel resulted in a vote of 229 for
the voluntary compulsory plan, by which
|each student pledges herself to attend a
given number of Sundays each month. As
a result of this vote an average chapel at-
tendance of 102 is assured, exelusive: ‘of |-
the choir, faculty and outsiders. Twenty
students. voted for compulsory chapel, and
twenty-five for abolishing chapel: Full re-
sults are given above. A definite plan for
regulating chapel attendance will probably
be taken at the meeting of the Christian
Association .in « Taylor Hall tomorrow
evening. — 4

At amass meeting held before the vote
by questionnaire was taken a diversity of
opinions were expressed. Reasons for the
4small attendance at chapel under the pres-
ent entirely voluntary plan ranged from
thé ugliness of the chapel to the compe-
tition of churches in Bryn Mawr. Compul-
sory chapel was argued against as it would
‘improve the looks but not the spirit.”
One speaker declared that the majority
should not be obliged to attend chapel be-
cause the minority wanted it.

Action in regard to regulating chapel
attendance: or changing the chapel service
was postponed until the results of the ante
tionnaire can.be considered.



NATIONAL HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
SUGGESTED BY COMMITTEE
OF WOMEN |
Tentative plans for ‘a United States
Hockey Association, similar to the Na-
tionat Lawn Tennis Association, will be
presented by a committee of women in-
terested in hockey, of which Miss Applebee
‘is chairman, at a meeting on January 21,

at the Philadelphia Y. W. C.-A. — <*

According tothe plans, which were
furmed during the end of November, the
committee hopes, through such an associa-
tioh, not only to organize hockey for
women {n this country, but also to obtairi
English coaches. Representatives from all
sections of the country have been invited
to the meeting, at which, if. the plan is
accepted, officers will be elected. Any sec-
tion with three teams would be eligible for
an active club membership, but schools and
colleges could also be allied with the asso-
ciation. Under such an association a se-
lecting committee would be appointed to
choose an overseas team to tour England
in February, 1923, and plans are afoot for
an intercity hockey tournament, to be held
in Philadelphia next fall. =. —

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS HELD

- BEFORE VACATION



Rockefeller Founds Tradition Based on
Renaissance
Parties, held in each hall according to

given to the College, were the Christmas
celebrations held on the evening of De-
cember 20. :

During an interval in the dancing at
Pembroke, the Freshmen gave “The Very
Naked Boy,” a skit by Stewart Walton;
with C. Remak, C. Miller and E. Glesner,
taking the parts of “He,” “She,” and the
“Naked Boy.” C.” Remak, as the ardent
lover,-and C. Miller, the charming coquette,
held the interest of the audience through-
out, while the “Naked Boy” contributed
greatly to the humor of the piece. .

The~tradition of. holding a Renaissance
Christmas was established in Rockefeller
this year. The Major Domo headed a pro-
cession of the inmates of an old feudal
castle and was followed in order by Two
Perils, four ‘serving men, the Lord (R.
‘Beardsley, ’23), and Lady M. Ecroyd

CONDITIONS UNDER SOVIET

Mrs ~ Harrison ” Bight Months _ jin
Bolshevik Prison

Russians Must Work Out ‘oun ‘Matvation,
According to Her Opinion ;

“The main fault of this country in re-
gard to Russia is its attitude,” declared
Mrs. Harrison, of Baltimore, who spoke
in Taylor Hall on December 14, giving an
account of her experiences in Russia, where
she was imprisoned for eight months by.
the Bolsheviks, after serving for an equal
period as Associated Press correspondent.



errors of outside countries in regard to
Russia. «In America, she felt, people are’
apt to place too much importance“on the
fact of Bolshevism. The Marxian theory
is at. best inipractical, and in Russia almost
absolutely unworkable, she said. . For. cen-
turies the peasants, who form nine-tenths -
of the population, have donged to own their
own land. It will take years of propa- ,

munists to change this inherent love of the
land sufficiently to establish a réal com-
munism. “In my opinion, said Mrs. Har-
rison,. “when Russia gets back “to a peace
basis,

ism. The Bolsheviks will have to modify
their platform,” :

Intervention and plotting by other na-
tions in Russia will block the return to nar-
mal times,’ Mrs. Harrison went on. The
Russians must work out without outside
interference , their own problems brought
‘on by their own action, or indifference>
The danger of Bolshevik propaganda
throughout the rest of the world is, more-
grossly exaggerated, ~-During—-the
convention of the third’ international, she.
met delegates from all over the world who.
were unanimously of the‘ opinion that a
premature’ dictatorship of. the’ proletariat
was a mistake. The I. W. Ws, accounted
“Bolsheviks” in America, are in Russia im-
prisoned*as enemies of the state.

Retates Personal Experiences

“T got into Russia by the back door,”
Mrs. Harrison said, going on to describe
her personal experiences. She. crossed’ the
border from Silesia, stayed two weeks with
the Red Army, and finally made her way
to Moscow, where she became Associated
Press correspondent—the only woman ever
to hold such a position.

Arrested for the first time in April, 1920,
she was released and traveled in June on
the Volga with the British Labor Commis-
sion, where she had the opportunity of .ob-
serving partial famine conditions, already
beginning at that time.

“My prison.experience is a great disap>
pointment to most people Who want to hear
about horrors,” she said. “I ‘was arrested
at l-o’clock in the morning by two sheepish
young soldiers who arrived in an auto-
mobile with a warrant and a woman to
search me. I rode to the prison in a
Rolls-Royce. — ee

“After filling out a long questionnaire,
I was placed in solitary confinement. .f6¢
a week, and then removed to another room
with about eleven other women. Here I
remained for eight months; never going out
except once, when we were taken to have

In describing prison conditions: in gen- .
eral, Mrs. Harrison declared that cruelty
does not exist. Criminals are well treated, .

for tHemselves, and even keep their chil-
dren with them. Political prisoners are
more stringently regulated, but such meth-
ods as the hunger strike are recognized
as legitimate political weapons and. re-
