Students’ Work Shown

ommon Room, May 21.—The Art

D gave a tea to open an exhibi-
m. of its members’ work, and pieces

at by the faculty from their private
lections. Guests of honor at the

Were the owners of works on ex-

tion.

Drawings in color illustrating the
biden Fleece are among the mem-

s’ work, also a symbolic water

r of Taylor tower seen through

hoops hanging beside a college
ntern. Taylor, Goodhart and other
ndmarks appear in five colorful oils
done outdoors this spring.
Two little nude figures_in clay are
the work of Art Club students.
eside these there is a large group
life drawings in which Mr. Diez
ended the “pure contours and
fine postures.”

Mr. Diez is lending a scroll ‘of a
tiger, the Chinese symbol of *#power,
for the intent expression .on the ani-
™mal’s face is taken to denote mental
‘power. The tiger can only be shown
‘in the house of a general, who unrolls
it to show his guests on formal oc-
-casions.

Mr. Diez is the owner of a Korean

reen painted with mountain scenery.

he Oxabs which ‘he is lending were
one by a Chinese painter who uses
an ink painting style which has been
aditional for a thousand years, and
has. practiced each stroke so many
times that he does it as you would
| write your name.

In startling cohtrast, on the other
‘gide of the doorway from the Crabs
thangs Miss Woodworth’s Chagall.

| Unlike the completely objective Chi-

nese painting, the Chagall is a record
¢ thoughts drifting through a relaxed
mind, Miss Woodworth likes it be-
cause of the gay reds, and went on
to explain that while the flowers are
in the room where the man is play-
ing, the lady is symbolic. “All the
world is whirling in the enthusiasm
of the music as he plays.”

“Miss Howe, who collects prints and
drawings, is lending a landscape by
Harding, a nineteenth century fol-
lower of Gainsborough, as well as a
brilliant landscape watercolor by the

Jraodern Philadelphian, Dasburg. . An
early German woodcut, a biblical
“scene by Altdarfer, is also -being
' shown by Miss Howe.
Three West African fetish figures,
examples of the kind of art which
' inspires modern primitives, are ex-
hibited from the collection of Mr.
| Herben and Miss Robbins. Going
' the rounds at the tea was a rumor,
doubtless unfounded, that the female
ure and the bearded male figure,
s symbols for the owners.
Mr. Gray’s collection is represented
by a little bronze dragon, and a land-
scape by the young Frenchman,
}, with valued composition remi-
miseent. of Cezanne’s Bathers, al-
though the color method is quite dif-
ferent. A flower study in brown, a
Montmartre scene by Utrillo, and a
watercolor which might be described
as a spiral with nudes, blue predomi-
nating, also belong to Mr. Gray,

Senioe Speeches Enlivened

by Marooned —

Geologist, Strip. Teaser and Gum Chewer



Friday, May 19. — Chewing con-
fidently on her wad of Wrigley’s best,
Margaret Otis, ’39, squinted into the
sun-and dropped a few pearls of wis-
dom from Taylor steps for the benefit
of the freshmen, sophomores, and
juniors. Miss Otis, sporting. a jun-
ior’s, gap and gown, seemed well aware
of her responsibilities in opening the
program of: senior’ speeches given
yearly on the last day of classes. She
helped along the less intelligent, or
moré sleepy, members of her audience
by giving them a careful outline of
everything she said. fhe

\“This is,” began Miss Otis, “a speech
for _speech’s_ sake.” Commenting
briefly on the meteoric rise of ‘her
class to college fame and their équally
rapid decline after Big May Day fes-
tivities (“we put everything in it and
we’ve not been the same_since’”) Miss
Otis spoke with fervor and emotion.
She pointed out that if they had been
permitted to try out for extra-curricu-
lar activities earlier they would have.
run the campus freshman year.

“TJ hope you realize this is-not the
last time I’ll stand on Taylor steps,”
concluded Miss Otis. “I'll, be back
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, al-
though my horrible gore won't
let me chew gum’in exams.’

Barbara Bigelow took up ‘the 139
saga at Dalton. Miss Bigelow spoke
feelingly of her encounters with the
geology department »which has’ played
a big part in her college career. Last
year Miss Bigelow roomed with Doro-
thea Heyl, a native of Easton, who
indirectly caused a riot on the spring
field trip of 1937-1938. While the
geology ‘bus was parked at the top of
a hill near Easton Miss Bigelow
thought it would be friendly to run
down and visit the Heyl family. Un-
fortunately when she returned the
geologists had left, and Miss Bigelow
was marooned on the highest point of
Easton with a-hammer (number 33).
A short while after she was rescued
by four-blushing Haverford students,
the auxiliary force of the field trip.
Miss Bigelow gaily told Mr. Watson

ies the group finally. reached the
bus that she’d gone to see her room-
mate’s family. He looked at her ad-
miringly and said “Miss Bigelow, if
‘that’s your story you stick to it.”
She-has. _

Less dramatic, ‘but hardly less
piquant were Mary Dimock’s*-experi-
ences with college athletics. Mantled
in a ’41 gym tunic and blazer which
she removed piece by piece Miss Di-
mock confessed that the most un;
happy moments of her life were those
dealing with the body. At finishing
school she got off to a bad,start when
ghe mistook a can of “what you wash
out the tub with” for bath powder.
Miss Dimock didn’t go into the de-
tails of this calamity for at the mo-
ment her head was caught in the
tunic and the struggle to free it made
her breathless.

Getting her second wind she de-
scribed the occasion on which she led
a group of folk dance enthusiasts
polking after her out the gym door.
Her original plan had been to escape
in seclusion. Miss Dimock and Miss
Grant have not. been really good
friends since.

At the library Doris Ray attempted
to encompass all the idiosyncrasies of
the building and its inmates in a few
short monologues and: anecdotes. She
spoke of the problems that have beset
her in this edifice for the last four
years, the breathy conversations be-
tween Miss Terrien and Mr. Sprague,
the absence of Latin trots( the Latin
department is generally using them),
and the impossibility of concentrating
in the magazine room where one is
distracted by articles on 1 the sex life
of a watermelon seed. In a moment
of desperation, Miss Ray admitted,
when she urgently felt the need to
scream, she went to the stacks and
found a philosophical justification for
noise, silence is gold, communists hate
gold, therefore, communists hate si-
lence. Miss Ray’s last bit of advice,
obviously taken from her personal ex-
perience, was “never hang a cowbell
on a professor’s chair.”

TENNIS TEAM WINS
BRYN MAWR PLACE

ON -FIRST LEAGUE}

Philmont, _June_1.—Putting Bryn
Mawr . into ‘the First League, the

Varsity Tennis Team defeated Phil-}
mont in the Challenge Round of the
Philadelphia Women’s Inter-Club
matches. The score was 7-0.

The first singles ‘and first doubles

were the: hardest fought matches. C.
Waples, ’42, playing No. 1 for Bryn
‘Mawr, defeated M. Silver, 5-7, 6-3,
6-3. The soft, steady game of the
Philmont player bothered Waples in
the first set, but she steadied her
game in the next two sets which she
won by her superior placing.
E. E. Lee, ’41,‘and B. Auchincloss,
40, played M. Silver and M. Katzen-
berg in the first doubles. The Bryn
Mawr team won the first set, 6-1, but
then both players lost control of their
net shots during the second set which
they lgst, 6-2. After losing the first
two games in the third set, they ral-
lied to win at 6-2. _

Latin Faculty Feted
At~ Classical Brawl

Commén Room, May 18.—The gran-
deur that was Rome temporarily re-
vived at the party given for the Latin
department under the direction of
Doris Turrier, with Terry Ferrer as
mistress of ceremonies. As guests of |,
honor, Miss Taylor, Miss Tate, Miss
Lake, Miss Marti and the Broughtons,
all classically crowned with laurel,
watched a program of skits, songs, and
recitations, followed. by punch and
refreshments.

After’a general rendition of Gau-
deamus Igitur, a translation of Jab-
berwocky in Latin by Peggy Copeland,
and duets and solos by Terry Ferrer
and Camilla Riggs, the faculty were
asked for contributions. Miss Lake
read a parody of Greek drama, while
Miss Taylor showed how the News’
account of Mr. Watson’s rainy field-
trip would have sounded if an under-
graduate were translating it into
Latin. Miss Marti and Miss Tate ex-
plained that they ‘were unprepared.”

The faculty were then asked to com-
plete and to solve Doris Turner’s un-
finished mystery-story concerning the
loss of a comprehensive just before
After this, they
wera individually crowned with laurel
to an accompaniment of ‘appropriate
songs of praise: an epic in honor of
Mr. Broughton, by Doris Turner, a
golliard song for Miss Marti, by Lilli

‘Schwenck and Hester Corner, and. a

Virgilian eclogue for. Miss Lake and
Miss Taylor, recited by Hester Cor-
ner and Elizabeth Pope, while Helen
Garth played a flute.

Following ‘the old Roman custom,
dice were-thrown for the privilege of
mixing the punch, Mrs. Broughton
winning ‘with three aces. The rest
of the party was described simply in
the program as “wine, women, ‘and
song.”

‘|SCIENTISTS REVEL

IN LOCAL MEADOW

|Cow’s Diamond Thinned |

‘Enthusiastic Nines

~

By

May 31,—Seventy-five scientists con-
sisting of .undergraduates, graduates,
and faculty, ate and played baseball

in a local meadow on the annual sci-
ence club picnic. The diamond, which
had been deserted for the occasion by
the cows of Mr. Watson’s landlady,
was adequately trampled by. those
who did not prefer the coolness of the
brook.

The biologists yielded to the fas-
cination ,of the brook and made a
wading expedition after crayfish, with
success. A mixed group celebrated
the day of their last examination by
sitting» in the shade in quiet conver-
sation. Several of the geologists dis-
appeared altogether, and the coeds
were particularly missed _ on the base-
ball teams.

The teams, ohouen originally by
Tom Zirkle and Ray, Jr., were later
scrambled so that most of the usual
faculty team was on one side. The
resultant walkover was hardly —no-
ticed since everyone cheered and

booed everyone else with indiscrimi-

nate enthusiasm.

Coordination of the sciences pro-
duced excellent food; geologists find-
ing rocks to bolster the fire built. by
the physicists, and the biologists held
the crowd from the brook when the
water and lemonade gave out, until
more could be obtained.



three hits in the seventh to Seales the
final score 12-11.

Zirkle opened the faculty sixth with
a hard single and went to third on™
Lattimore’s one-bagger; Fleming
muffed Cap’n Cope’s easy grounder
to short to fill the bases. Then Sloan
lifted an easy fly to center field.
Dethier got her hands on the ball,
One run scored.
Catcher Milt Nahm hit one to the
same place. Dethier dropped that one.
too, and Lattimore came home. On
Broughton’s grounder to the pitcher,
with none out, Tykie Alexander
elected to play at first, and the win-
ning run scored. fter the damage
had been done,, Sloan was thrown out
‘at the plate, and Doyle popped out .
to the second baseman to end the
inning.

This. was_a more evenly played
contest than the first varsity-faculty
game: Rapid-fire Doyle chalked up
nine strike-outs, and Tykie Alexander
eight. There were about 16 errors
evenly divided between the teams.
What ultimately won the game: for
the faculty was their superior ability
to run bases. It was the same thing
that lost the varsity their game with '
Vassar. But to counterbalance this
advantage, the faculty was ~ weak
through ‘the middle. After Anderson
hadthrown the ball away .a few
times trying to get runners at second
and third, Nahm came in from the
picket line and replaced him behind

|the mask. That—the fourth—was the

varsity big inning. They made seven
runs on six hits and a walk.

The gem of the game, though, came
in the fifth. With none out and ‘the

‘4 bases loaded, it was either Anderson

or. second as the result of a double
oz: Nahm coaching at third who de-
cided to pull the hit-and-run, no sig- -.
nals having been given. With Tykie
throwing the ball up to Doyle, An-
derson tore suddenly for third. Judy
Shenton on_third, playing for the
faculty membér that didn’t turn up, _.
didn’t know what was going on. But ©
the Dogfish had a brain. He saw
what was going to happen and did
the best he could. By that time the
ball was nearly on top of him. But
he did the only thing. possible. He

low. But -it. was too low, and he
popped up to the shortstop, and a
triple pjay was'set in motion. Flem-
ing threw to Alexander, now playing
second, to get Anderson, and Tykie
