well to think we can converse pleas-

antly about mutual friends or the

study on Body Mechanics so that she
may pass an advanced standing exam-

wants us to please tell her her division
in German because the Dean forgot
to put it on the slip. Then, of course,
we know the contents of every course
given, the life history and good and
bad qualities of every professor, and
the proper course for each separate in-
dividual to take. Yes, we really learn
a lot about our college, both from the
things we feel it our bounden duty to
find out about and from the things
quoted,to us out of the handbook.

luckily it takes no longer than until

Tuesday morning for us to come down
to earth with a.jolt and find ourselves
being quite disgraced in a minor
course by bearing the brunt of the pro-
fessor’s first day’s jocosity and un-

we are these same upperclassmen.

of them do, unless somehow they fin-

their curtains the first day which
would really be a little difficult. At

Sophomores Get Freshman
Song at Parade Night



Tuesday night, September 29, saw
the Freshmen and Sophomores merrily
upholding — the tradition of Parade
Night: For days the Freshmen had
been hiding from prying Sophomores
the tune of their Parade Night ‘song.
At the last: hour 1934, following the
merest. suggesting of a ‘hint, wrote
their parody. tothe tune—of~‘“Good-
night, Ladies.” |

Under a bright moon in a clear sky
1934 danced around the huge bonfire
on the tennis court. When ‘the class
of 1935 marched over the brow of the
hill, accompanied by the band, and
lit by red torches carried by the
Juniors, lo and.behold, the band was
lustily playing ‘Goodnight, Ladies”!
The Freshmen broke through the re-
‘sisting ring of Sophomores and, form-
ing an inner ring around the fire,.sang
their song, written by Barbara Lewis.
Try to beat us,

Try to beat us,

The whole college will have a chance.

Try to beat us,
With futile strategy.
We've looked under every bed, every

Where if you-had used your -head
You would surely be.
And the triumphant ‘Sophomores
answered back with their parody:
So long Freshmen,
You're all wrong, Freshmen,
You've lost your song, Freshmen,
To 1934.

tant factor is that they are the ways of
the ‘student body. Miss Park,’ there-
fore, comes to the receptiongnot only
willingly, but feeling that the proce-
dures of Self-Government are worthy
of much attention and that the associa-

tion is one upon which all Bryn Mawr
students should “congratulate them-
selves.

Following Miss Park’s address, Mrs.
Collins told a few things about big
May Day which is being celebrated for
the eighth time this year. In nipeteen
hundred Mrs. Andrews, who was rais-
ing money for an Alumnae fund, real-
ized that Bryn Mawr was the perfect
setting for an Elizabethan May Day.
Since then it has been given six times,
becoming much more elaborate though
no more authentic after nineteen
twenty, In spite of the plays, the her-
alds and the oxen drawing ‘the May
pole, to’ Mrs. Collins the dancing on
the green ori which everyone takes part



is the highlight of May Day. “There
is lots of hard work connected with
it, too,” said Mrs. Collins, “but there
is nothing like the aesthetic satisfac-
tion”one gets from taking part in some-
thing very beautiful.”

“Standing here holding out May. Day
as a welcome “to the freshmen,” con-
cluded Mrs. Collins, “I should like to
say in the terms once addressed by an
old Dorsetshire man to myself, ‘ *Appy
‘unting, Milady, d ‘ope the fox gives
you a good run; and if me knees and
me ‘ands were as young as me ’eart I’d
be ’unting with you’.”

After all, a democracy presupposes

the part of the majority of its citizens.
By the majority’s will it must fall or
rise. President Park, in her opening
. speech to the college, called this a
critical period in our:civilization. The
value of this experiment in workers’
education is now more than ever evi-
dent—if a school which has sent out
1100 alumnae since it was founded by
President Thomas eleven years wraL_ |
can still be called an experiment. Miss
Smith, formerly Dean of Bryn Mawr
College, »-has-s been... Director of. the
school from the beginning and is in
close contact with the three other
schools—that’ have started up ‘in itsé
wake. According to her, if the ifiove-|
ment manifesting itself in these
four schools can survive the next two
critical years it will grow and develop
by itself to a thing of great influence
and value.
