*seven-thirty, in Taylor Hall, A. Johnston,

‘26, was-clected- president-of-the-Associa-
tion for the coming year. Plans for the

include an auditorium’ or auditoriums
with a capacity of 600-or 1500, rooms ‘for

the presidents are. now being consulted,

L.. Barber, ’25, retiring president, sub-
mitted her report, in which she described
the work of the Association during the
past year.

Of the legislature, she said that “first,
it guaranteed a quorum, and secondly, it
insured a wider and more _ intelligent
knowledge of the business at hand.”

“Within the. Association,” she went on,

“other important changes have been
' made. First and foremost is the new
position of the Curriculum Committee.

Last fall it became apparent’ that the
committee must come to some sort of an
agreement with the faculty or dissolve.
President Park said that the Faculty
Curriculum Commigtee would probably
be very glad to have a joint meeting to
discuss the situation. This meeting was
held carly in the second semester with
the following results which are embodied
in the constitution of the committee:

“The function of the Curriculum Com-
mittee shall be to formulate its own
opinions and to obtain information upon
college opinion concerning the college
opinion at the a request of the
faculty,

“Reports handed in to the faculty shall
state separately the vote of each class and
the vote of the committeé. In case of a
divis‘on of opinion in the committee, the
c'asses of the voters shall be apecified:

four Juniors, three Sophomores
and two Freshmen, from which at least
three Juniors, two Sophomores, and one
Freshman must be appointed for the fol-
lowing year.

FIRST FENCING MATCH LOST
TO PENNSYLVANIA TEAM





Defeat For Less Experienced



In Bryn Mawrt’s first fencing match,
which took place last Thursday evening,
the honors went to the University of
Pennsylvania with a winning score of 10
to 6. The Pennsylvania team showed
better offensive work, and in the first
few matches put Bryn Mawr altogether
on the defensive. Towards the end Bryn
Mawr gained confidence and won six
matches in close succession. The Bryn
Mawr team was more alert than the Penn-
sylvania girls, but showed a decided lack
of experience. E. Millspaugh, ’26, starred
for Bryn Mawr, winning three out of four
matches. :

Both teams had been _ previously
coached by Mr. Leonardo Terrone, so the
contest was more a matter. of practice
than preparatory instruction. The judges
B. Simpson, Secretary of the
Eastern Pennsylvania the
Amateur Eencing League of America, and
rMiss E. Page, a Bryn Mawr graduate
who has won several fencing honors.

~The teams were as follows:

VARSITY PLAY SHOWS :
GREAT HARMONY OF WHOLE *

School -for Scandal couffts death
knell to class plays by setting
new high standard







GAY WORLD OF SHERIDAN STAGED



contributed by Katharine
Ward, °21.)°

Many of those who say the Varsity pro-
duction of The School for Scandal last
Friday and. Saturday ‘waited in particular
for an answer to the question “Are Varsity
Dramatics enough better than class plays
to warrant the supplanting of the latter?”
To. one observer at least the answer séemed
obviously to be in the affirmative, and for
We are used to charming set-
to effective cos-

(Specially

this reason.
tings in our class plays,
tumes, and to several good actors in each
cast, but we have not been accustomed to
seeing plays in which the minor roles’ were
really ably sustained, in which consequently
the total effect was satisfactory. In this
our most recent Bryn Mawr _ production,
however, the general level of the acting was
so high that one could not but feel that
the day of the class play had gone forever.

One ‘finds it difficult to comment sepa-
rately upon the single qualities of our School
for Scandal—its costuming, scenery, music
—hecause of the unusual harmony of the
whole. But even the layman could not be
unaware of the skill which went to the
achieving of this harmony—the subtlety with
which the colors of costume and “setting
were blended, thes charm of the musical
entries and exits, the delicacy of the pan-
tomime by which the awkwardness of the
usual amateur curtains was avoided.

To this sophisticated, gaily-colored world,
Scandal seemed
completely attuned. Lady Teazle as played
by Miss White had quite shaken off her
country manners, had acquired indeed some-
thing of the tension and nervousness one
recognizes as part of city life. While shé
lacked the genuine high spirits which alone
can excuse her verbal cruelties. to Sir
Peter, her vivacity of expression and gesture
was charming. In the scandal scene, Lady |
reazle’s difficult part was particularly well

wm

real zest of the scandal-mongering little
grande-dame in the gaiety of her malice
and thé-whole-heartedness of her laughter.
Sir Peter, played by Miss Petrasch, was a
gentler, less irritable old man than one had
