EASTERN ART DELIGHTS BRYN

Sophomore Play Chinese Lantern

The Sophomore play, “The Chinese
Lantern”, by Laurence Housman, was
consistently exotic and artistic to the
smallest detail. Even the rice-paper pro-
grams, with their grotesque dragons .and

| Chinese letters, carried out the illusion of

the Far East.

The success of the ambitious attempt
at singing the Aria from “Madam But-
terfly” as a curtain song was due mainly
to the high tenor of M. Mackenzie and C.
Eastwick. The scene disclosed, as the
curtain went up, was a Chinese studio.
The simple white paper panel, set in
black, formed a most effective frame for
the picture, the “Gate of the Muses”,
around which the action of the play cen-
ters. The idol, the dragons at the base
of the panels, and the lanterns and vases
increased the Eastern atmosphere. The
apprentices, squatting in a semi-circle
with Yunglangsti asleep on the couch
piled high with pink cushions completed

a stage picture which, in careful grouping |
and color combination, was not equaled |

at any other moment in the play.
The choice of the play was happy in

that it gave an opportunity for stage ef- |

fect and avoided the traditional knee-
breeches and hoop-skirts of college plays.

A. Booth proved a charming heroine.
Her acting maintained a high
throughout the play and in her soliloquy
in the last act her pathos was convincing.
Though she appeared to better advantage
in the pathetic parts, her unique vivacity
carried off the lighter passages.

V. Pomeroy made a graceful and deco-

rative hero, even in her somber rags. |

Although she lacked the verve and viril-
ity which go to make the popular hero,
her acting was appealing. V. Kneeland
cleverly portrayed the loathsome rag-and-
bone merchant, and R. Hart played the
grasping money lender to perfection. V.
Frazier, as Olangsti, spoke her lines well,
but much of the comedy of her part was
lost because of the lack of contrast be-

tween her and Mary Scott, who failed to |
bring out the full humor of her part. F.
Richmond, as the would-be grocer, was |
ene of the most amusing characters in|
the play. Of the apprentices, FR. Buffum |

MUSIC COMMITTEE RECEIVES $150

FROM GLEE CLUB

First Concert Gift of Former Student

The Glee Club has presented the Music
Committee with $150 from the proceeds
of “Pinafore”. With this gift and the
money pledged by the students the com-
mittee has been able to arrange for sev-
eral concerts.

The first concert, given last Friday
evening, was the gift of Emily Brown-
back, ex-’14. Mrs. Katherine Bloodgood,
of New York, contralto, sang; Miss Wie-
and, who plays the organ in Chapel, ac-
companied Mrs. Bloodgood. Mrs. Edith
Harecum,—of—the--Harecum-—School,__Bryn
Mawr, played a number of selections,
among which Chopin’s ‘Berceuse” was
most enjoyable.

The Music Committee has arranged for
a concert on January 8th by Ernest
Schelling, pianist. The Rich-Kindler-
Hamman trio has been engaged for a
later date. In May a Russian choir from
the Greek Church in New York will give
a concert in the cloisters. This concert
|is the gift of Mr. Charles R. Crane.

COSTLY SLOWNESS BRINGS DEFEAT

Varsity Loses to All-Philadelphia, 3 to 6

The Bryn Mawr Varsity hockey season
was ended last Saturday by Varsity’s de-
feat at the hands of All-Philadelphia.
Varsity lost to a team superior in speed
and in its ability to play well throughout
the game. Ail-Philadelphia did not relax
its energies for a single instant; Varsity,
with the exception of M. Branson and J.
Pauling, did. Captain Branson, in steadi-
ness and alertness, outplayed herself at
center-half. Her well-timed hits,
curacy of direction, and perfect grasp of
every situation, were unfailing. J. Paul-
ing, at right fullback, was the mainstay of
the defense. The other members of Var-
sity all played good hockey, but lacked
the consistent brilliancy which marked
All-Philadelphia.

During the first half the play was very
even and the ball constantly changed
sides. Time and again Varsity worked
the ball up the field only to be stopped by
an impregnable defense. Finally, how-
ever, the Bryn Mawr attack resulted in a
corner and A. Stiles received the ball
from M. Bacon and shot the first goal of
the game. A little later a corner before
the Bryn Mawr goal occurred and (. Ches-
ton, right-inside for All-Philadelphia, shot
a goal. The half ended, with the score
still tied: Bryn Mawr, 1; All-Philadel-
phia, 1.

In the second half, Varsity, partly ow-
ing to hard luck, slumped badly. The
loss of H. Harris, regular left-half, began
to show its effects in the weakening of
the whole halfback line. G. Hearne’s com-
ing in late at right-inside was hard upon
her playing and the many shifts tried the
nerves of the team. V. Litchfield was
changed in the middle of the half from
center-forward ‘to her old position at
right-half and G. Hearne put in her place
at center forward. M. Tyler went in for
G. Hearne at right inside. Most. dis-
heartening was the loss of confidehce
caused by the removal of M. Thompson.
She was withdrawn on account of strain-
ing her leg and C. Fiske substituted. An
exhausting wind was the last factor
against Varsity and, during the slump,
All-Philadelphia ran up their score with
five more goals. Varsity, however, came
back at the end of the half. L. Brown
took the ball down the fleld, passed it be-
yond the fullbacks, and V. Litehfield sent

What is the matter? Is it no longer
considered etiquette to present. the
Freshmen to the ranks of Sophomore,
Junior and Senior society? We have none
of the large and formal teas this year
where upper classmen play the rdéle of
fond mothers and aunts to introduce the
debutante Freshmen to the social world.
If these are to be done away with, how
are the Freshmen to acquire the ease and
grace of manner which comes from stand-
ing in a receiving line and doing more
than smile pleasantly at the guests. Few
of the Freshmen are as energetic and,
may it be said, as foolish as the cele-
brated one who tried with little success
to come out in Boston and also to attend
lectures at Bryn Mawr. Is this lack of
teas a foreshadowing of the time when
girls will no longer feel it their duty to
give up their entire time to society for at
least a winter? If it is not this, is it that
the Bryn Mawr undergraduates are losing
their traditional love for ice cream? Let
us whisper it, that perhaps the throngs
who pushed by the receiving line-came-to

Answer to Alumna Letter

| To the Editor of “The College News”: _ |.

In the last issue of “‘The News” I was
astonished to see the attitude which an
alumna took-toward the measures which
the present undergraduate body is taking.
We regret exceedingly that she should
feel that in our actions we are casting
any reflections on the undergraduates in
College before our day, yet we feel that
it is our privilege as the Undergraduate
Association to adjust circumstances and
to settle matters to suit present-day
needs.

As to considering the Advisory Board
a brilliant innovation, this does certainly
not seem to have been the attitude of
“The College News” for December 17th,
1914, which states that “the question of
an Advisory Board to take the place of
the old board, composed of the Student
Council and the officers of the Associa-
tion, will also come before the meeting”.
This action was necessitated because the
Student Council had been abolished and
with it the Advisory Board, since the
Student Council was the Advisory Board.

This year, I believe, the Advisory Board
was spoken of in your columns as an ex-
cellent innovation and I do not feel that a
grave error was committed by this state-
ment. The board is an innovation in the
sense that it is now a truly active factor
in the Association. To-day no meeting
of the Association is called without
having first consulted the board to ar-
range the business beforehand. The Ad-
visory Board has existed up to this time,
it seems, purely nominally, for in the
President’s report for the year 1912-1913
no mention is made of it, and in her re-
port for 1913-1914 the President writes:
“The Students’ Council has not been used
as an Advisory Board at all this year”. It |
was not until last year that the board
really became an active part of the As-
sociation. I feel that in this sense it can |
be called an excellent innovation.

Then, too, I should like to say a word |
about the present system upon which |
Lost and Found is run. In former years, |
it is quite true, that the President of the |
Undergraduate Association co-operated
with the Dean in making Lost and Found |
appointments and the office guaranteed |
to pay any deficit. This plan seemed to |
have been lost sight of some time ago, |
for Dean Reilly telis me that for several |
years past, as far as she knows, no defi- |
nite arrangement has been made with the
office in regard to the Lost and Found |
deficit. Last year, when the deficit oc- |
curred, quite ignorant of the fact that the |
office in former years had guaranteed the |
salaries, each undergraduate was as-
sessed three cents to make up the
amount, This year, as you stated in your |
columns, “to assure a_ better business |
foundation”, it was voted that the Asso-



| ciation pay the salaries directly and that

the proceeds from Lost and Found be put |
in the treasury of.the Association. The |
needs of the situation, we felt, demanded
such an action. That the former under-
graduates were “unbusinesslike and |
thoughtless” was certainly not the mo- |
tive which prompted us to take this ac- |
tion, and we really regret that an alumna |
of Bryn Mawr should take our actions as
such, :

That the Bulletin Board Committee is |
not new is indeed quite true and that |
such a mistake should have occurred in
your columns is to be regretted, but we |
felt at the time that the matter was of
such slight importance that it was not |
necessary to rectify it.

In conclusion, I should like to say that |
the spirit in which this letter is written
is not one adverse to alumne criticism;
in fact, such criticism is what we need.
If only more alumne would show the |
present undergraduate body where they
feel we are wrong, I am sure that we, asa
body, would appreciate any such criticism |
and suggestions, and that we, in our turn, |

RED BANNER ON GYM



In the interclass hockey finals between

1917 and 1918 three games were played.
The first was won by 1917, 3-1; the second
by 1918, 3-2, and the third by 1917, 3-9,
3-0.

Last Game Hard Fought

The last interclass hockey game on
Monday was a desperate fight on the part
of both teams. 1917’s defeat in the sec-
ond game called up all their fighting
- spirit and every member of the team
played to win every second of the game.
1918 did its best to get the dark blue ban-
ner on the Gym. Their defense played
an excellent game; the forwards fought
with courage and were tireless in every
scrimmage, but showed the same lack of
confidence in individual play as in the
first game, against the Juniors. However,
there were few chances for long dribbles
because of 1917’s lively defense.

’17’s team pushed hard against ’18’s de-
fense and N. McFaden shot the first goal.
The ball continually went down the field
and back again. P. Turle got the ball and
had a free field, but overran the ball. No
goal was made and after a bully ’17’s team
worked the ball down and M. Scattergood
shot the second goal for 1917. L. Brown
twice picked up hard passes and made
rushes, but no more goals were made.

In the second half ’18 started with a
rush and L. Richardson backed up the
line well; but A. Davis made a long run
to '18’s end and caused a bully. P. Turle
attempted a run, but lost the ball. ’17’s
forwards were good at getting away with
the ball. A. Davis made a run the length
of the field and shot the third goal for the
Juniors. The ball stayed at ’18’s end for
some time; but no goal_was-made.
Davis made a fourth long run, but M.
Bacon interfered before she could shoot. |
’18’s forwards could not leave the Junior
halfbacks behind them. P. Turle finally
made a run, but M. Thompson stopped |
her shot. N. McFaden again got the ball |
and had a free field, but L. Heisler
stopped her shot. The ball played at ’18’s
and for the rest of the game, but no goal
was made.

The line-up was:

the last goal of the first half, making the |

running in on the left of an '18 forward
caused a penalty bully. The excitement
was intense until M. Scattergood suc-
ceeded in getting the ball out into the
field again. No goal was made.

playing. P. Turle and M. Smith backed |

up each other well; "18’s defense played a

The most remarkable thing in the play
was the clever stage mechanism. The ar-
rangement by which a figure appeared in
the picture and by which Tikipu entered
into it, was ingeniously planned and ef-
fectively carried out.

The choruses trained by L. Richardson
were excellent and contributed to the pic-

was: Resolved, That all courses in Col-

Hollis and R. Gatling the negative. Miss
Helen Magee, who acted as judge, decided
in favor of the negative, saying that this
side had won through its good use of con-
crete examples.

THE COLLEGE NEWS



M. satis SPEAKS AT SELF-GOV-

_——e SONFRRENCE



M. Russell, 1916, and C. Hall, 1917, were
the Bryn Mawr delegates to the annual
meeting of the Women’s Intercollegiate
Association for Self-Government, held at
Western Reserve University in Cleveland,
Ohio, from November 11th to 13th. M.
Russell made a speech on the “Policy of
the Executive Board”. Among the topics
discussed were the provinces over which
self-government has jurisdiction and the
relation of the faculty to student matters.
Practically all of the other colleges rep-
resented have the Honor — in Ex-
aminations.

The colleges represented were Adelphi,
Agnes Scott, Alleghany, Barnard, Brown,
Bryn Mawr, Margaret Morrison (Car-
negie), Elmira, Goucher, Lake Erie, Mid-
dlebury, Mississippi, Mount Holyoke,
Oberlin, Ohio Wesleyan, Radcliffe, Ran-
dolph Macon, Simmons, Swarthmore,
Vassar, Syracuse, Wellesley, Wells, West-
ern Reserve and Wilson.

On the day of arrival the delegates
were given a tea by the Y. W. C. A. and in
the evening there was a reception at
which President Thwing, of Western Re-
serve University, Dean Smith, the Ward-
eng and the Executive Board formed the
receiving line. On Friday evening the
Western Reserve Dramatic Club, com-
posed of members of the four classes,
gave two plays, “Neighbors” and “The
Twelve Pound Look”, in their gymna-
sium. Saturday afternoon there was an
automobile trip around Cleveland and a
tea at Dean Smith’s, and Saturday even-
ing a banquet was given in Hayden Hall.

Miss Russell says, “The Western Re-
serve University College for Women has
five hundred students, most of them day
scholars. There are two dormitories on
the Campus. The other college buildings
are a beautiful chapel, a new administra-
tion, and recitation building, a second
recitation hall, a gymnasium and a stu-
dents’ building, where the Associations
have offices and the banquets are held.
The delegates were most enthusiastic in
their praises of the Western College,
though the cowboys and cactus, sup-
posedly expected, were nowhere visible’.

1917 SECOND TEAM CHAMPION



1917 and 1918 second teams played off
the hockey finals on Friday, 1917 winning
with a score of 3-0. On account of rain,
which made the field slippery, the game
was neither fast nor exciting and the
fouling.on both sides was excessive. The
goals were made by G. Malone, C. Hall
and L. Collins.



COSTLY SLOWNESS BRINGS DEFEAT

(Continued from Page 1)
‘it to the forwards; G. Hearne ‘shot the |
‘goal. A minute later L. Brown‘again re-
ceived the ball at the edge of ae circle
and shot the cleanest goal of the game.
A long run by A. Stiles followed, but the
whistle put an end to further scoring.
Varsity’s comeback occurred too late to
secure victory, but it brought an honor-
able defeat.
The line-up was:
All-Philadelphia.

HIGHBALL SONG CONDEMNED



“Drink a Highball”, a well-known col-
lege song, has been condemned at the
University of Pennsylvania. Provost |
Edgar F. Smith objects to its repeated |
reference to highballs and others among
the university officials do not like its |
general spirit and declare that it is |
not really representative of the univer- |
sity. The song has been sung for many |
years at athletic contests, class reunions, |
and wherever Pennsylvania men get to- |
gether, but has now been definitely barred |
by the university authorities from the |
official Jist of Pennsylvania songs.
