Inauguration and

Farming, Fortune and
Bonds Test Students’
Interest in War



This is the story of a year, the
week-to-week headlines and the
threads of tangled opinion and the
olive-drab uniforms that were
Bryn Mawr .1942-3. Call it a kal-
eidoscope. This is to let you know,
747, what you have got yourself

» into.

Miss McBride started it, on
September 30, by telling Bryn
Mawr studnts something they had
never been told before: that there
was an urgent demand for them in
the outside world. We put on our
blue jeans and husked corn, picked
apples, got poison ivy and called
ourselves the Land Army. The
Alliance intensified their war
work, adopted a constitution, and
a new name “The War Alliance.”

Inauguration

The Inn had labor troubles,
much of the Faculty left for Wash-
ington, rationing hit the campus,
and Sylvia Brown stole the Fresh-
men’s Parade Night song. Bryn
Mawr girls made their own beds,
served in the Deanery, and start-
ed taking Russian. Pomp. and
circumstance came on October 29th
with President McBride’s inaugur-
ation and the parade of academic
dignitaries and ancient alumnae.
WHAY, the Bryn Mawr-Haverford

radio station, thrived behind the

cloistered walls,

Polls

The NEWS had polls; they re-
vealed that the majority of 288
undergraduates holding jobs dur-
ing the summer had done secre-
tarial and clerical work; they re-
vealed that students favored post-
war planning now and thought the
Allies would win the war. .

Opinion shrieked for more
weekend activity on the campus,
more money for baby-sitting; ar-
gued about cutting out traditions.
Editorials reappeared in the per-
ennial fight for unlimited cuts.

[Restriction Lifted

On First Semester
Freshmen Activities

The former restriction on Fresh-
men activities during the first
semester has been partially lifted
this year. The administration feels
that the demands of the war have
increased the need for Freshmen
participation. However, all Fresh-
men must report their activities



to Mrs. Broughton’s office, before}

signing up for them.

In particular, Mrs. Broughton,
Acting Dean of Freshmen, recom-
mended the War Courses, sponsor-
ed by the Alliance, as first semes-
ter opportunities for Freshmen.
All of these courses: First Aid,
typing and shorthand, office tech-
nique, nutrition, and home mechan-
ics, are open to new students, after
consultation with the
Freshmen and their hall warden.
There are also openings in both
the Bryn Mawr Public School
Children’s Center and the Haver-
ford Community Center, under the
same conditions, but Freshmen are
not allowed to take the Nurse’s Aid
Course.

May Hold Jobs

Freshmen will also be allowed
for the first time, to hold hall jobs,
to work in the library, the offices,
and the Deanery, after an inter-
view with the Bureau of Recom-
mendations and with Mrs. Brough-
ton.

As far as canipus activities are
concerned, Freshmen may join any
of the language clubs, and the In-
ternational Relations Club. Al-
though the tryouts for the College
News are not held until February,
the Board welcomes Letters to the
Editor at all times, as well as spe-
cially contributed articles by Fresh-
men, either in the form of reports
on special meetings they may have
attended in Philadelphia, or in
theater, book and concert reviews.
Glee Club, Madrigal Club, and
Choir are also open to Freshmen.

_ Eligible for All Sports

Freshmen may take part in any
and all sports other than their re-
quired ones, and both the first and
second Varsity teams are open to
those who excel in particular

Subterranean Tunnel’ and the New Yorker
Named as Perils for Freshmen in Library

By April Oursler, ’45

The library is a labyrinth mass
of professors’ offices carefully in-
terspersed with a few books. It
has long been a time-honored tra-
dition that all freshmen are drag-
ged through its mazes, steeped in
a quick dose of Dewey- Decimal
System and the Reserve Room
rules, and registered as function-
ing members of the library. That
was our experience and one by
which we most ‘certainly did not
learn. ‘So herewith our personal
guide to the part of the library
Miss Terrien never shows you. If
you carry it with you, pinned close
to your dean’s slip, you might find
‘what you want.

It all starts when you wander
innocently down into the stacks
and end up in.the Rare Book
Room. Catching a glimpse of light
across the~hall-you dash into the

‘Periodical room, only to be side-

tracked by The New Yorker and
Time. Pulling ‘yourself together

again, you remember you were
after a book, and brightly recall-
ing your library tour, you head
vaguely towards the West Wing.
After accidentally bumping

the Education Sem you find your-
self unaccountably in the Quita
Woodward room. The New Book
Room, you gasp happily, thorough-
ly prepared to surrender to the
charms of The Tree That Grew in
Brooklyn or Drivin’ Woman. Ten
minutes later you emerge, sadder
and wiser in your realization that
the Woodward room is only a new
room for books.

Some kind person told you that
the very next door on your right
would land you in the West Wing
stacks, so being a literal sort of
being, you take your next right,
and plummet down two flights of
stairs to the basement. Always
looking on the bright side of
things, you remember that you
hadn’t read the last few issues of
the. New York Times, and that
somewhere in these subterranean
reaches.they ~~>5 othgpiawige>pos-
terity and you.

nose first into a*room with a car-

Parade Night to
Celebrate Annual
Bonfire Ceremony

Torchlights Will Flicker
To Mark Traditional

Procession



Wednesday the 29th will not
only mark that great day known
as the first day of classes but it
will be also—and surpassingly—
Parade Night.

Parade Night is a night of riv-
alry, with Freshmen and Sopho-
mores at each other’s throat. Con-
tention finds its source in a song
—not a mere song, but one that
embodies the spirit of violent tra-
dition.

The tradition is this: a song is
selected by the Freshmen, the sole
object being to prevent the Soph-
omores from “happening” to dis-
cover tune of said song.

The Sophomores are a devious
lot, and will stoop to vile tricks.
Beware, Freshmen, beware espec-
ially the gently confused girl who
comes up to you with: “I wasn’t
at the meeting yesterday. What
is the tune?” There are other
methods, too, and more subtle.

Bonfire

Historically, Parade Night cen-
ters in a bonfire. Led by the Fire-
man’s band blaring forth the sac-
red tune, lit by Junior-born: torch-
es, the Freshmen triumphantly
march through the night until sud-
denly they are rolling and scramb-
ling madly down a hill towards a
huge fire, surrounded by a deter-
mined ring of Sophomores. The
band crashes louder and louder.
The fire gets hotter and hotter as
the ring is broken.

Excitement.is_ pitched high to
the last. For not till the Fresh-
men reach the bonfire do they
know whether success is theirs, If
the Sophomores have been toa

Lantern Night Ritual
May be Changed Due
To Lantern Shortage



According to ancient custom, on
the third Friday in October the
Sophomores’ will welcome _ the
Freshmen with gifts of lanterns,
to the accompaniment of Greek
hymns in the darkened cloisters of
the Library. This year the prob-
lem of the shortage of lanterns
threatens to change the tradition-
al Lantern Night ceremony. Since
the factory which manufactures
the lanterns has been converted to
war work, there will be no new
lanterns available.

Approximately 80 green lan-
terns have been collected from
last year’s seniors and other alum-
nae, leaving the majority of the
210 freshmen without their tra-
ditional gift.

Preservation of Tradition

Katherine Tappen, head of Un-
dergrad, feels that “the actual
symbol of the giving of the lan-
terns should be preserved.” There
is a tentative hope that the fac-
tory may be able to change the
glass in old lanterns to the green
of the incoming class. If this fails,
lanterns of other colors may be
used in the ceremony, with only
the green ones lighted to give the
effect of the swinging lanterns, In
either case the upperclassmen will
be asked to contribute their lan-

Dear Freshmen:

We truthfully don’t know what made you decide to come
to college. We hope that not many of you planned to hiber-
nate at Bryn Mawr for the duration. Because we know that
if you really want to escape, it’s not very hard. The events
which most certainly are affecting the lives of every single
one of us cannot always penetrate through the chemistry
and French, the bridge and tea.

But most of you, we know, don’t expect college to be a
Walden Pond or Shangri-la. You are here because you think
that June 1947 will find you a more useful world citizen. But
this idea, however often repeated, is not necessarily true.

You may be a Social Science major and be unable to con-
tribute one constructive thought or action to the world which
sorely needs both. You may read the newspaper daily and
attend all the forums and lectures on current affairs and still
not fulfill what is rightfully expected of alert, educated citi-

zens.

For if this is a time for serious thought, and it is, it is
still more a time for activity. Whether it be blood doning or
writing letters to congressmen or working together with
others on any project whatever, it is surely a tremendous

advance over watching.

Freshmen: The future really is yours to help mold. But
don’t wait until 1947 to begin.



Non-resident Freshmen Seineiaied on Whys
And Wherefores of Campus Life by Veteran

By Jessie Stone, ’44

This “is primarily for consump-
tion, information, elation or con-
solatior®f the temporary residents
of Pem. In short, it is directed to
those Freshmen invariably sub-
jected to the following treatment:

Interrogator: “What hall do you
live in?”

Our heroine: “I’m a.Non-Res.”

Interrogator: (gently) “Oh.”

Note to our heroine: This will
go on for four years.

Beginning Wednesday morning
your base of operations will be an
all-purpose non-descript room. The
location of the Non-Resident cloak
room in the Library defies all at-
tempts at exposition. The New
Wing basement is about the best
we can do. Then just follow the
smoke. The functions of the room
vary with the hour. Dressing
room, study hall, lunch room, play
room, study room, dressing room
is about the order. When the Non-
Reses finally attained a minimum

‘of organization two years ago,

they tried to give the room a hom-

ey touch. Of course, it all depends:

on from what sort of home you

come.

Last year two innovations sharp-
ly altered the Non-Resident life.
Both were undisguised imitations



of Resident customs. The first
was the attempted imposition of
quiet hours. This proved to be an
ill-starred adventure which suc-
ceeded only in the absence of those
who voted against it in the first
place. The second new feature was
a fitting counterpart to quiet
hours, It started when someone
surreptitiously dropped a deck of
cards on the premises. This has
resulted in continuous thirteenth
rubbers and no need for quiet
hours.

The Non-Residents themselves
fall roughly into two groups:
Those who do it by choice. The
others. Most will agree in more
pliable frames of mind that “it
isn’t so bad.” Some will shout de-
fiantly that they wouldn’t “Res”
it for love or money.

The room is not merely a haven
for the homeless. Residents drop
in ‘on occasion; the occasion is us-
ually a cigarette. ‘



Divisions
Divisions of ‘Freshman Eng-
lish, Elementary German, Latin
and Philosophy classes will be
posted outside the Dean’s Office't
by Wednesday morning.









Freshman Hall Plays
Begin Rehearsal Soon



The freshmen hall plays, to be
held in the Cornelia Otis Skinner
Theatre Workshop, will go into re-
hearsal early this term. Thesé
plays, in competition for a silver
plaque, won last year by~ Merion
Hall, will be under the direction of
the following committee: Merion,
Priscilla Rich, ’44; Denbigh, Edie
Rhoads, ’44; Rockefeller, Barbara
Rebmann, ’46; Rhoads, Kitty Rand,
’45; Pem East, Junior Lyendecker,
746; Pem West, E. Borden, ’46. No
one has as yet been chosen for the
Radnor freshmen.

The Freshmen of each different
hall will meet to elect a committee
to read and choose a one-act play
for that particular hall, and to
elect an assistant director, and
stage manager. Everyone is eligible
for tryouts for the freshmen plays,
and costume committees;-prop com-
mittees, and business committees
give everyone a chance to take
part.

These plays offer an excellent
opportunity to discover and de-
velop talent for the big Freshman
Show. They are judged by a com-
mittee of the Faculty, and _ the
plaque is presented at a special tea.



Schedule Planned for

Services in Goodhart



Chapel services are held at 7:30
o’clock every Sunday evening of
the College year, except during
exam periods. Sponsored by the
Bryn Mawr League, they are non-
denominational, The service this
week was held in Goodhart Audi-
torium, but during the rest of the
year they “will be in the Music
Room in Goodhart.

The ministers usually come to
dinner at Rockefeller before the
service. If you would like to have
dinner with any of them, give
your name to Lucia Hedge (Pem-
broke West) early that week.
Names of anyone who would like
to usher at the services would also
be appreciated.

Morning services will be held
every day in the Little Chapel in
Goodhart. They are short, very
informal affairs, from 8:45 to 9:00,
and are run entirely by the stu-
dents. The Little Chapel is at the
top of the stairs in the wing of
Goodhart, which juts out towards
the campus. It is always open
and everyone is welcome to go
there at any time.

The ministers who will conduct

Rare, Unusual Books

In Special Exhibition



A beautiful exhibition of 16th
and 17th century books on history,
geography, and travel is now on
‘display in the Rare Book room.
The unusual engravings and typo-
graphy are shown to their great-
est advantage in their arrange-
ment by Miss Terrien.

_A map of the world as known
in 1545 is the most interesting of
the engravings. It is contained in
Claudius Ptolemaeus book entitled
Geographic Universalis. Another
map in the collectjon is one of the
country surrounding Zurich in
book by Johannes Stumpf, Gemé
ner loblicher Eydgynoschaft, which
was printed in 1548. Remarkable
as its attempt to portray the top-
ography of the land.

The two portraits exhibited re-
veal the richness which this artis<
tic skill of engraving could attain.
Especially noteworthy is the fron-
tispiece of Estienne Pasquier in
his Les Rescherches de la France
published in 1665. There is also a
fine portrait of Fhomas More in
Nicholas Reusner’s Icones , sive
imagines vivorum literis illustra-
trium published in 1587.

Those interested in ancient sci-
entific instruments will like the
drawings of an observatory at Pe-
kin in a 17th century account of
China by Louis Le Compte entitled
Memoirs and observations made in
a journey through the empire of
China.

Works by Peterman Etterlin,
Jacobus Meyer, Francisco Lopes
de Gomara, Lambarde, John Stow,
Del Castilla, Louis Le :Compte,
Sir John Narborough, Captain
Jasmen Tasman, Captain John
Wood, Fred Marten, Thomas May,
Johannis Loccenius, Christian
Wurstisen, and Bernhard Herzog.
All the books are owned by the
Library except the Reusner which
has been lent by Mr. Howard L.
Gray. Most of the books have
been given by the Misses Abby
and Sophia Kirk from the library
of Mr. John Foster Kirk. Several
were contributed by Anna Woer-
ishoffer.

Apartments Made By
Low Buildings Change



During the summer Low Build-
ings has been converted into apart-
ments. No longer will students be
able to stay there when the halls
are closed and the serving of meals
is discontinued.

Low Buildings was built in 1898
to house the faculty, and originally
had the dignity and prestige of an
exclusive club, in which everyone
dressed for dinner and sailed in
with book in hand to eat in a lofty,
studious atmosphere. But as time
passed, Low Buildings became less
exclusive and admitted first part-
time instructors, then grad stu-
‘dents. Eventually it was but a
sboarding house, and harassed un-
dergraduates could” put weekend
dates there.

There is less demand for board-
ing house rooms and in, answer to
the increasing demand for apart-
ments for light housekeeping, the
dining room has been abolished and
the entire first and second floors
have been converted into apart-
ments, four of which are new. Mr.
Hirsch, in charge of the remodel-
ing, explains all this succinctly:
“In these days no one wants to be
compelled to eat where they sleep.”

WIT’ END..

To begin with, if you can’t locate
your room, room-mate or tooth-
brush place a want ad with us im-
mediately. Meanwhile put all your
valuables in our drawer and fol-
low your Student Advisor.

Resolve now to love Haverford
and the Lib. .Learn how to make
your bed without sleeping in it.
Also walk on the grass while you
have the chance.

In case of air raid see how good
you are at identifying enemy
planes. Be friendly to our armed
forces under any. circumstances
and wave your dean’s slip at the
pilots; under no condition let go
of it unless it has Math and Ger-
man on it. If an air raid warden
gestures excitedly at you, wave to
him also in a friendly but re-
served way. If this fails to satisfy
him offer your room-mate’s cigar-
ettes.





In case of fire drill put out all
cigarettes and grab your dean’s
slip. If you have an appointment
you must get special permission.
If the signing out book has burned
up in the general conflagration
throw all caution and dean’s slips
to the winds.

‘Don’t believe anyone who says
she remembers your name. Con-
sider all strange Freshman Seniors
and vice versa. ‘Consider Sopho-
mores Freshmen at all Parade
Night rehearsals, but ignore Jun-
iors persistently. Don’t leave a
room when’ an_ upperclassman
walks in unless you think there’s
a chance of her speaking to you.
This is extremely urgent.

Cultivate an Oxford accent as-
siduously but always retain your
identity. This can be expedited
by initiating political discussions
at dinner and asking everyone
what she’s doing to give blood. If
she’s not the active type demand
her theory on post-war recon-
struction. Uf she’d rather eat,
write a letter to the News in pro-
test.

If in need of aid and abetting,
watch this column for further de-
tails.

Hints to Freshmen
In Search of Long
Lost School Friends

The long lost first grade mate}
th girl who told you she was tak-
ing philosophy while passing the
time of day beside the bulletin
board, she who gurgled her name
to you under the water -of_the
swimming pool: all of these the
News has traced to rooms amid
piles of appointment sheets and
curtains which don’t fit. The re-
sult is printed here in the hopes
that it will lead to a reunion.

Saunders’ Barn Calls
All Good Girl Scouts

Saunder’s Barn is a thousand
leagues hence by foot, and that,
of course, is the only way these
things are approached today. You
will set out blithely in the cool of
Tuesday morning, and before long
you will be quite warm—Lo! sev-
eral blisters later you will arrive
at Saunder’s Barn. It is a lovely
barn, full of tradition, musty cran-
nies, and rotting stairs with a
mysterious look. There is in ad-
dition, a broken-down stone wail
and sneeze-making grass. This,
then, is Saunder’s Barn. Of “At-
mosphere” it has plenty—its great_
est. claim to’ fame.

When the weather cooperates,
vast numbers of Bryn Mawr fe-
males migrate to Saunder’s Barn,
sneeze, eat, sneeze, then happily
migrate home. They like it.

If you're hardy enough you
might even spend the night...
if you have a largish mob with
you plus a few chaperones and are
awfully fond of the rough life.
Now, Freshman, you are ac-
quainted with Saunder’s Barn. A
hike to same, or a glance at the
Handbook will undoubtedly en-
lighten you further.

Maids’ Bureau Makes -
Curtains, Bedspreads

Freshmen, do you need chintz
for your rooms? Do you need slip-
covers, bedspreads and curtains?
Go to the Maids’ Bureau.

An ambitious and well-planned
organization, the Maids’ Bureau,
situated right in- Taylor Hall, is
open from 2:00 to 5:30 o’clock
every afternoon. Formed two years
ago, it specializes in sewing to
order and inexpensively anything
and everything students may need
or desire.

Jeannette Holland, whose regular
work is in the Infirmary, is in com-
plete charge. She attends to filling
orders, buys dress material and
chintzes by the yard, so that stu-
dents may have a large selection
from which to choose. Former
headwaitress -in- Rhoads, Anna
Kearney is in charge of all sew-
ing, while Mildred Eldridge, also
from Rhoads, is the head of dress-
making. Péarl Edmonds, who
works in Taylor, has the arduous
job of secretary.

Many Jobs Done

Porters work in the Bureau as
well as maids, and both only in
their spare time. Besides making
chaircovers, bedspreads, curtains,
they make, stuff, and cover pillows.
They are expert not only at can-
ing, but also at tying springs in
recalcitrant chairs. Dresses and
other. clothes are made, and even
designed. Alterations are made at
low cost.

This activity, steadily develop-
ing for two years, may spread now
into new fields. Plans and hopes
are afoot to open a beauty parlor,
to start a shoe repairing shop, and
perhaps to have an organized
hand-laundry service.

New High Seen Ahead in Sports Activities;
Tennis Tournament Opens 1943 Fall Season



A great year is coming in Bryn
Mawr sports. Material, spirit, and
good supervision — everything
points to a successful ’43-’44. Al-
ready the class of ’47 shows am-
bitious murmurings in the line of
tennis players, and ’46 has brought
forth its hockey talent long ago.
The general trend of the last few
years is toward louder cheering
and more “oomph” en all sides, but
this year should be the beginning
of a new high in sports activity. °

The Freshman tournament starts
everything off with a prayer for
good weather, and no matter how
the score comes out most Fresh-
men enjoy a rousing game of “Do
You Know” with their opponents.
If the Finalists are as good as we
prophesy, the upper
might even pull out the old Greek
cheer for the winner,

Hockey Practice

Miss Grant will snatch all excess
Freshman energy for hockey prac-
tice as soon as she can. Three
o’clock any afternoon expects to
find a good crowd of stick swingers.
Bryn Mawr is lucky to be near
some of the best: hockey teams in
the country, well-drilled college
teams and club teams packed with
All-American players. The Varsity
undergoes several “shellackings”
each year, but only because bril-
liant play is spoiled. by a fast-
disappearing lack of practice.

Whether you play Varsity hockey
or just hockey, there are plenty
of good games. The interclass

classmen-|;

games inspire a good-natured class
rivalry at the end of season. Most
popular with the watchers are the
Haverford: games, when the sticks
fly and it inevitably rains or snows.

Tennis goes on all fall and all
spring. Tryouts are held at both
seasons, and the Varsity had lately
moved into a higher bracket ° of
inter-club play. The matches usu-
ally include many of the “Nation-
als” players.

Dancing enthusiasts will find two
alternatives at Bryn Mawr. The
Modern Dance Club provides ex-
cellent instruction. Miss Petts
teaches the Isadora Duncan type
of dancing.

Winter Session
, Also in the winter session there
will be basketball, swimming and
badminton. Both intercollegiate
and intra-mural games are. sched-
uled in all of these sports, and the
inter-class swimming meets set the
peak of inter-class rivalry. Faculty
efforts proved a good match for
the badminton team of last year.

Spring brings the traditional
baseball and, of course, more ten-
nis. Again the faculty provides
the best competition in baseball,
and the “stands” are packed to see
the Varsity beaten by a sizzling
Faculty team.

Most popular among sports are
these team athletics and group ex-
ercisers. This year, starting with
a bang-up tennis tournament,
should continue on the same vigor-
ous level.



Rationing and Bonds
Feature Year ’42-43

Continued from Page One
we gave dances for the Air Corps
Cadets, with four girls for each
awe-struck cadet. The people from
Fortune magazine invaded the
campus and looked at the length
of our skirts and our pigtails and
asked us what we did for enter-
tainment and how we felt about
religion. The marriage announce-
ment list reached a high of nine in
one week, We heard nutrition lec-
tures, Robert Frost, Rhinhold Nie-
bur, and Margaret Bourke-White.

Then came the big fight over
compulsory assemblies, with the
NEWS running pro and con edit-
orials and heated meetings in the
hall smoking-rooms about individ-
ual rights. The undergraduates
won their independence and a
series of planned war assemblies,
non-compulsory, were presented.
No sooner was the student body
calmed, than they arose and took
up their torch for the Ball, Burton,
Hatch, and Hill bill for post-war
cooperation. 7”

In March, Self-Government drop-
ped the bomb-shell of a new war-
dening system and the undergrad-
uates again rose and demanded
their rights, vetoing the plan by



their vote. We were all finger-
printed; the Faculty gave a show;
Bryn Mawr and Haverford pre-
sented “The Beautiful People”,
the French sailors were every-
where on the campus, and Sylvia
Brown did it again and stole the
Freshman show song.

With spring came the final rush,
with the Junior Prom weeks ahead
of itself, but papers always be-
hind, Graduation week brought
ultimate victory and. unlimited
cuts,

THE COLLEGE NEWS

i a





New Gym Instructor
Starts 47 Swimming

“What is your reaction to Bryn
Mawr ?”—this inevitable first ques-
- tion of News interviews was asked
while the interviewer stood in a
pool of antiseptic water by .the
gymnasium swimming pool. The
person thus questioned was Miss
Frances Colville, the new instruc-
tor in Physical Education, who is
taking the place of Miss Yeager,
now with the Red Cross. Miss Col-
ville was in the midst of super-
vising Freshmen who were under-
going initiation to Bryn Mawr ath-
letics in a species of 20-minute
sink-or-swim ordeal.

“Bryn Mawr’s wonderful”—was
the reaction which she gave while
timing the submerged Freshmen.

“Take it easy, 20 minutes is a
long time,’ she shouted at more
energetic swimmers, while explain-
ing that she has taught swimming
each summer at the Pirie Log
Camp in New York, and will teach
swimming, hockey and tennis here.
Miss Colville has come from Wel-
lesley, where she took her B. A.
and M. §S.

Gym Has Atmosphere

“It’s hard to find anything on
Campus,” said Miss Colville, but
she thinks that the Gym, which
she now knows intimately, has
just as much “atmosphere” as the
rest of the college. She emphatic-
ally approved of the swimming
tests, in spite of having to shriek
it above.the splashing and even
though the lack of caps has proved
a _ problem. She recommends
“shower caps” in lieu. of some-
thing better, as most of the Fresh-
men we saw were diving bare-
headed. Since Miss Colville at one
point. mentioned that she “liked
pleats,” perhaps some eventual
change will mature in the bath-
ing-suit department.

Sports and photography are Miss
Colville’s main interests; also
dancing, not necessarily rhythmic.



She said she “was best at swim-|.

ming as Freshmen do in _ their
tests,” but that decision might
have hinged on the situation. Then
as Freshmen continued to enter
and dive and the antiseptic water
was needed for better use, the in-
terview terminated.



Lantern Night Ritual
Changed by Shortage

Continued from Page One

terns for the benefit of the Fresh-
men, and the success of this will
depend on whether people are
willing to give up their lanterns.
Whatever plan is adopted this
year’s Sophomore class will have
less lantern expense than their
predecessors, covering only can-
dles and changes in glass.

Lantern Night has changed
greatly from its origin in 1886. It
was at first rather farcical in tone
and was held in the afternoon. It
has changed gradually to perhaps
the most impressive custom-hal-
lowed ritual of Bryn Mawr tradi-
tion.

Bonfire to Celebrate
Annual Parade Night

clever, they will. be found gleeful-
ly yelling the enemy’s battle cry.
“Harmony again reigns, however,
as everyone gathers to sing college
and class songs in Pem Arch, and
hall parties given by the Sopho-
mores for the Freshmen’ follow im-
mediately after.

This celebration on Wednesday
night represents the repetition of
a tradition with a long history of
violent song-snatchings and rough-
house. ©.

In the primeval days it was cele-
brated with artificial materials and
showed a violence unknown today.
In 1914 the three upper classes
dressed as wierd devils, witches
and strange beasts. Everyone
danced around the huge bonfire on
the lower hockey field while
“Froshie”’ was burned in effigy.
The costumes in the ensuing strug-
gles were not fully appreciated,
however.

Roman. eahdles gave way to
torches in 1915, when the band led
Freshmen with “valiant Juniors at
their side” to the bonfire. On the
way back to Pembroke Arch the
Sophomores blocked the stairways,
forcing the Freshmen to go around
by Rockefeller.

« More Ruses

The next year a dictaphone, de-
tective work. and bluff discovered
1920’s song. Benjamin, the porter
in Pembroke, who had done some
work for Burn’s Detective Agency,
discovered a dictaphone concealed
in the Freshman Chairman’s room.
All in the spirit of the thing, he
later helped search the gym for
any more of the dratted machines.
But force followed craft when
Sophomores and Seniors besieged
the Freshmen meeting in the gym.
Peacock, ’19, was flushed from a
hot-air flue by an indignant jan-
itress.

spirit” even after the Sophomore’s
parody: “Sniff, Sniff, Sniff.”

Music Hour

All those who would be inter-
ested in an hour of classical
music on records once a week
please let, Newart Shamlian,
care of the Record Library,
know by campus mail. The hour
would consist entirely of request
records, and would be held in
the Common Room in Goodhart
Hall, where the Capehart is.
These would probably take place
on Friday evenings, but if the
demand is great enough, the
time might be increased to two
or three hours during the week.
This idéa, suggested last year,
is merely an experiment, sub-
ject to student interest and ap-
proval. The Record Library,
located in the West Wing of
the Main Library, will still be
open to all students.’
