“Tietie“wec-brought before the grad-
uating class in the Baccalureate
sermon given by the Reverend Viv-
ian T. Pomeroy of the First Par-
ish, Milton, Massachusetts. “The
basis of the dreadful calamity to-
day is the nationalistic system’s
human reluctance to relinquish na-
tional or universal ideas or con-
ventions,” he said.
The ability to know the right
moment to let go applies in politi-
cal positions where many people,
who have been successful in their
work, refuse to resign it to a
young man. “It is important to
know when you are dead, where a
particular duty or situation is con-
cerned. There are two kinds of
people, those who are too slack to
take hold, and those who are too
stiff-to let go.” The latter group
are conservatives and it is they
who have hurt institutions instead
of helping them. By holding on to
the belief in a national sovereign-
ty and racial superiority we have
arrived in the present world condi-
tion. The Reverend Pomeroy com-
pared the nationalistic system to
Joseph Conrad’s picture of the
blind captain clinging to the wheel.
One should also know when to
let go ‘nero relationships.
This a es not only to friendship
but parental affection. A parent
should let a child have increasing
independence, for it will bring en-
durance and enjoyment to the child
and incurs no loss of respect or
love for the parent. If parents of
married children knew how to
gracefully retire from the scene,

College Faculty Plan
Diverse and Unusual
Summer Employment
Despite a busy and difficult year,
many members of the Bryn Mawr
Faculty plan to continue working
during the summer.

department, plans to start work on
her Guggenheim Fellowship at the
Cornell Medical School on August
first. Mr. Berry. intends to continue
research here.
Mr. Watson will be supervising
a course at Bryn Mawr on sur-
veying, mapping, and photogram-
metry for the United States Office

and aerial photography. He will
be. assisted by Miss Wyckoff. Miss
Lehr will teach three or four weeks
of mathematics for this course in
July.
A course will be given in analy-
tical chemistry to train analysists

Umpire Dryden Suffers
a Severe Drubbing
For Undue Favoritism to Hardy Scavengers
By Ruth Alice Davis, ’44
“Down with the umpire! He
doesn’t even know how to count!”
Mr. Dryden suffered a severe drub-
bing when he attempted. to keep
seore for the annual faculty-stu-
dent baseball struggle at the Sci-
ence Club Picnic. His version was
15-13 in favor of the “Scaven-
gers.” Mr. Watson, in an attempt
to keep peace in the family, an-
nounced a 14-14 tie as the final
outcome, while an irate spectator
was convinced it was 21-11. Every
time a faculty member came up
to bat, the infield perceptibly
tightened, and the outfield woke
up and spread out, with the right
fielder practically in the nearby
stream—as was necessitated by a
sensational hit by Mr. Berry in
the first inning.
Although most of the “rugged”
pienickers piled in. cars, seven
deep, there were a few who chose
to walk—hardy souls, in our exam-
weary estimation, to brave a dis-
tance of four miles. .
Food was plentiful—hot dogs,
passionate purple punch, and Dixie
cups (on which no one seemed to
be able to find movie stars any
more, Abbotts having adopted a
new defense policy of bombers in-
stead of Cary Grant, and ‘the Ma-
rines instead of John Payne).
There was one Rock Math Major
who offered to lick the tops of any
number of cups (even after her
first four Dixies) just to find Alice
Faye. There was the “Great. To-
mato Mystery’—six dozen toma-
toes disappeared all to soon, a loss
which could hardly be attributed
to even the hungriest of under-
graduates, and when the punch
jug started to float away down-
stream, a number of people read-
ily volunteered their services to
plunge in, drink and rescue it.
‘An energetic game of “movies-
up” followed dinner, “Berry
still the home-run st even
hough he handicapped himself by
playing left handed. The picnic
and the game ended simultaneously
when the cows which had wan-
dered all afternoon ‘in the other
end of the pasture reversed their
tactics and slowly but surely
cropped their way toward the
pienickers, threatening to mow
them down right along with the
grass. Addenda to the New York
Yankees: Dr. Gates made the only
home run of the afternoon.

Miss Park Discusses
Concepts of Liberty
In Speech to Seniors
Goodhart, June 2.—Addressing
the 57th graduating class at Bryn
awr, President Park turned to-
ward the future and discussed the |,
nature of character and the kind
of liberty necessary to mend this
war torn world.
character, which © Bryn
allowing freedom and sometimes
and disagreement in
student affairs, is necessary to un-
derstand and help the future of
civilization. ‘‘Civilization,” she as-
‘serted, “may either end in the
prophesied band or the prophesied
whimper. If it is not to end so it
is becaused thinking has been done
by the best of your generation.”
“Liberty,” Miss Park continued,
“has got to be redefined and re-
constructed.” In modern history
there have been three main con-
ceptions of individual liberty “gone
wrong.” The first, which the Puri-
tans had, was bigoted. The Puri-
tans set the value of their own in-
dependence high and that of any-
one else low. “They allowed them-*
| selves and no one else choice, de-
| cision, control, growing space.”
The second variety, found in
Hemingway and Oscar Wilde char-
acters, Miss Park considered to be
|a far .greater menace today.
| “These. live their lives regardless
| of the common good and unharn-
;essed to any common purpose.”

1942 Yearbook Appears
Original and Novel —
But Lacks Integration of Component Parts
By Lenore O’Boyle, °43
The 1942 Yearbook is apparently |
an attempt to achieve something |
more original and satisfying than,
the standard. It is unfortunate that;
it-is, on the whole, so unsuccessful. |
Several of the’ ideas are good.|
Campus organizations and activi-|
ties are usually given little atten-|
tion. The same is true of the clubs. |
Those things which have special
significance for this year’s class,
the defense courses and new aca-|
demic experiments like.the Eight-|
eenth Century course, are right-)
fully singled out for attention. |
Perhaps the most successful fea-|
ture is the section on the’Depart-_
ments, with its effective balance- of}
pictures and frequently amusing
writing.
Unfortunately, the faults are
more striking than, the virtues. The
arrangement of the book as a
whole lacks the essential minimum
of continuity. In a commendable
a
effort to gather together all the
activities which have formerly re-
received too little attention, the
editors have given us a variety
which is often” bewildering rather
than pleasing. The individual page
arrangement is no better, failing
to achieve coherence or emphasis.
The chief failure lies in the strik-
ingly low quality of the photog-
raphy. + Too high an average of the
Seniors’ pictures are poor, and the
snapshots are often too small and
sometimes even faded. Nor do the
colored pictures come out as well
as they should.
Much of the writing is very good
and very amusing. It may be a
matter of personal preference as-
to how much writing there should .\
be. Yn this: Yearbook there is an
unusually large amount, and per-
haps it would have been more
effective and better for the indi-
vidual page arrangement to have
put more emphasis ow the pictures.

Senior Poll Reveals Opinions and Effects
Of Four Years of Bryn Mawr Education
By Lenore O’Boyle, *43
The Senior poll reveals, first,
the encouraging fact that, out of
sixty Seniors polled, only three
Seniors would definitely not do it
all over again, and only five are
doubtful. Fourteen have not lived
in the same hall for four years, but
only four wouldn’t live in their
present halls ‘again. Sixteen per-
sons would not major in the same
highest number of votes.
We hesitate to announce that
the majority of our Seniors relax
by drinking. Dancing, exercising,
and movies are popular. Two un-
fortunate souls never let off steam,
others get disagreeable. One girl
walks down Senior Row, one reads
Gaudy Night and goes canoeing.
“Night clubs indispensable for
more intellectual outlook.” A for-
| reviewer, when they did a good!
lems of available time in present-|
ing Patience. Boys, girls and pro-!
fessors gave up incalculable time,
and energy to present the annual|
operetta and it seems a shame that |
all they received from the News|
job, is adverse criticism.
Let principals, choruses and di-
rectors know that the performance
| was a success from every stand-
| point for those who weren’t seek-|
ing absolute perfection and who)
; received one hundred per cent en-
'joyment. There may have been a
few who unfairly compared the!
production to those of the greatest |
Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Com-
pany in the world; but we who
were thrilled, delighted and ap-
preciative of the operetta and all
that went into it, far outnumbered
them.
| management mentioned by the stu-
and all the other evidences of poor'|
dents in the published letters are
the very things against which we,
too, would protest.
There is another matter also,|
which should be thoroughly inves-|
tigated: the contrast between the
treatment of the servants at the)
Inn and the more humane treat-|
ment of the servants elsewhere on
the campus (so beautifully and
stirringly commemorated in the
recent tribute of the maids and
porters to Miss Park): At the Inn,
in ignomious contrast to conditions
elsewhere on the campus, the serv-
ants are overworked, underfed and
constantly intimidated. |
I agree with the students who
wish “to see a reform instituted at
once.” It is high time that the
College Inn should cease to be a
“commercial Inn” and return to its
Senator James J. Davis, former U.
S. Secretary of Labor under Hard-
ing, Coolidge and Hoover, the first
defeat of his long political career.
|General Martin presented himself
as a strong military personality
for, the most aggressive and imme-
diate action in the war against
Hitlerism. He attacked Senator
Davis’ isolationist record. Davis’
defeat was due in great part to the
failure of the coal regions to give
him the support he had expected
through John L. Lewis’ influence.
In the Democratic primaries, all
three candidates were outspoken
supporters of President Roosevelt’s
war policies. F. Clair Ross, the
victor, had the support of the Par-
ty machine.
Despite General Martin’s attacks
on Senator Davis’ isolationism, it
is generally recognized that he and

Dance Club Presents
Humorous Fairy Tale
By Alice Iseman, ’43
Gym, May 15.—Cinderella, this
year’s presentation of the Dance |
Club, is a continuation of the ex-
periment begun last year with the
Sleeping: Beauty. The performance!
was fairly successful in its me-
dium of a semi-humorous fairy
tale.
Cinderella was far more elabo-
rate than its forerunner. It was
longer. “The dances were more!
\worked out. The technical details
of production, lighting, costumes,
and makeup, were all carefully at-
tended to, yet it lacked spontane-
ity. Alice Laing, as Cinderella,
was pretty, but frequently stiff.
jFrances Lynd, one of the wicked
step sisters, was able to give to
her dance the fire and life that
good Duncan dancing demands to
hold the audience’s interest. Helen
Wade, the other sister, was grace-
ful and amusing as she primped
at her mirror, but her solo dis-
played little originality.
The group dancing presented the
problem that always arises in in-
terpretative dancing. There was
a vague choreography, yet every-
one danced a little differently. It
is obvious that Rockette precision
was not called for, but the indi-
vidualism within a form resulted
only in raggedness.
The best note in the whole per-
formance was injected by Sylvia
Maynard, the fat, little papa, and
Niles Rumely, the tall, buxom
mama. Slapstick in this form of
dancing is difficult to execute with-
out sacrificing form, and _ these
dancers were successful.
The music was pleasant and
fitted the mood of the presentation.
It was, however, in its original

Students Overwhelm
Women Faculty Team
Bryn Mawr, May 27.—Dusk de-
scended upon ten weary fielders,
the Women Faculty baseball team;
but it wasn’t the twilight that
‘ended the game. After three in-
nings the twenty-nine runs scored
by the Students seemed decisive
enough compared to the Faculty’s
meager three, to make futile any
more diamond prancing.
Captain Henderson had led her
large group of players onto the
field ~ with beaming confidence.
There were no less than twelve
players, and one student was heard
to remark that going from first to
second was like a game of leap
frog or running an obstalce race.
The Faculty’s predominence in
numbers, however, didn’t seem to
work any wonders. The team’s
bats were powerless. Only four
hits were garnered from Frannie
Imbrie’s smooth pitching. But
Miss Henderson proved her pro-
ficient fielding ability, climaxing
her baseball career with an unas-
sisted double play.
If not exactly a competitive ex-
perience for the Owls, the game at

Garden Party Scene
Of Senior Festivities
Wyndham Garden, Monday, June
1.—The annual Garden Party was
a scene of great festivity Monday
afternoon. A throng of over a
thousand guests and faculty min-
|gled under the Wyndham trees
while busy Garden Party girls
rushed around serving ice cream
and sandwiches.
Miss Park and Miss Ward re-
ceived the guests from four o’clock
work was topped-off with a Self-
Gov. rule book.
The spirit of rejoicing was ex-
pressed by dancing around the fire
and to “To the Maypole.” The
screaming of “Our Last Exams
Are Over” left everybody hoarsé
but the audience on the bank was
very unappreciative. After a little:
coaxing they clapped a few times
and then demanded songs which
had already been sung. As the hot
group fumbled back up the hill, a
Senior -who had not added her bit
to the conflagration, explained that
Freshman papers were too funny
to burn and she wouldn’t give up a
particle of her education, anyway.

on certain definite policies about it.
One of these is to limit the amount |

$600.00 is the maximum amount of |
debt that one should incur as a|
student. They have rarely, if ever,|

fine sense of dramatic pitch and
sympathetic acting characterized
the production of a group of plays
written by the Bryn Mawr Play-
writing Class and acted by the
members of the Varsity Players
and the Cap and Bells Clubs.
The presentation of the plays
was divided into three general
themes: The People Yes, Private
Lives and Public Address. Under
the first theme, “Thim Divils,” a
monologue written and acted by
Edgar Emory, showed an excellent
sense of dramatic climax and at-
mosphere.
| Poetry distinguished the second
play, Child of the Winds. This
was well reflected in the acting.

College Council Seeks
Solution for Pay Day
At the last meeting of the col-
lege council, the pay-day and la-
bor shortage problems on campus
were _ discussed. Consequently,
polls were held in the halls to as-
certain how many students would
be willing to cooperate in the emer-
gency.
Because of the large sums of
money required for pay day, the
college wishes to find a method to
limit the accumulation of cash.
The poll revealed that one-half of
the students who answered already
had bank accounts, and half of
those remaining would consider
opening them if the minimum bal-
ance were lowered to $50.
The college hopes ‘to make it
possible by a special arrangement
with the bank for such a minimum
to be instituted. By avoiding cash
payments it would be possible to
put the Inn and Bookshop back
on pay day permanently.
The possibility’ of a shortage of
maids and porters next year may
make it necessary for students to
help--perform~ their duties. --The
poll revealed that students were
bell duty.
Next year arrangements will be
made. whereby students will serve
in shifts on bells, with a limited
number working at the switch-
board and waiting-on-tables in the
Deanery. Unless the situation be-
comes more serious, waiting on
tables in the halls will not be
necessary. It seemsi probable now
that students will have to make
their own beds and dust their own
rooms.

Alice Dickinson, speaking in
front of Dalton, gave a talk on
biology as a preparation for life—
in all.its aspects. Frustration, en-
durance, and patience are included,
it seems, in the curriculum of a
biology major, in addition to home
economics. She concluded by re-
marking, in the words of a cer-
\
tain anatomy professor, “You may
put your legs in your drawers and
go home now.”
Louise Allen, in her own, words,
a “born disciple of Isadora Dun-
can,” appeared on the steps of the
gym wearing a bright-red gym
tunic. Saying that it reminded
her of her irruption, as a Fresh--
man, armed with shinguards, into
one of Miss Petts’ classes, she pro-
ceeded to expound on the neces-
sity of toughening up the college.
This is to be done, for example,
by making students of Geology
walk on their field trips.
Appearing, woe-begone, on the
steps of the library, Hester Cor-
ner remarked, “I’m twice as bilious
as I look.” Tossing a hot-water
bottle to a “confederate in the
audience,” she then expounded on
the theme of reversing the ‘roles
of the Library and the Infirmary,
including in her dissertation the
undoubted parallels between Dr.
Herben and a coughdrop, “or pos-
sibly the best Viennese yeastcake,

WIT*S END
Take a déep breath, relax, and
think. how nice it will be to get
away from the mouldy walls and
the mouldy undergraduates. As a
last service, with our usual sweet-
ness, we respond to your last need
with a few hot tips on your future
life.
Washington, as you know, is full
of palatial residences, rooms any-
where from six by six to six by six.
In this little hell hole, you will find
yourself with an old friend from
Bryn Mawr who you always
thought was an awfully nice gigl.
This, you will quickly discover,
was only because you never had to
room with her. Soon you will be
joined by two more old classmates
who you never thought were nice
girls. They will have important
jobs in the tin can department, two
of the five people in the world who

Defeat Merion Team
In Hairbreadth Mateh
May 25.—Bryn Mawr was victo-
rious today in its last tennis match
with Mehion Cricket Club. It was
a close match, however, Merion A
team winning three matches while
the Owls triumphed in four.
When all the matches were over
except for the first doubles, the
score was even, It looked in fact
as though the Owls would lose the
match which was: to decide the
winner. Towsend: and Madiera,
Merion’s first doubles, got the first
set. from the Owl players, Norton
and Fleet, 6-0. Then Norton and
Fleet amazed the spectators. Their
shots became more accurate. Fleet
drove the ball with her hard fore-
hand drives and Norton’s accurate
placements and _ steady returns
wore out the opposing team. They
won the next two ‘sets. easily by
scores of 6-3, and 6-4.
Captain Chester, playing her last
match for Bryn Mawr as was also
Nancy Norton was in top form.
Her. fast-serves.smashed.into the
corners of the service court and
her base-line drives kept her oppo-
nent running from one side of the
court to the other. Nancy Norton
had a hard fought match with
Anne Townsend, All-American
hockey player. Nancy could not
quite keep up with her more ex-
perienced opponent. Although the
rallies were long, Nancy lacked the
ability to hit a hard, deep shot
which would finish off a _ point.
Miss Townsend managed finally to
score some fast placement shots
and in that way won the match.

Concerning Rubber Houses in Washington —
By Lenore O’Boyle, 743
The Alumnae‘ calmly but de-
cisively took over the campus and
the remnants of an undergraduate
body expiring from the heat and
comprehensives. Several were con-
cerned over the quietness. “Is it
always this dull?”
The Class of 1914 arrived in
Pembroke. They distinguished
themselves by eating the picnic
supper prepared. for the Class of
1941, and then consuming a full
course dinner that was waiting for
them all the while. “Nothing left
for us but a few lousy lettuce
leaves.” Which may explain the
mass. movement to the Greek’s a
few hours later, for which no one
bothered to sign out. ‘Full well
they knew they were safe.
One alumna asked fox “
juice” at breakfast in Rhoads>fwo'
others all but crushed an unfortu-
nate undergraduate as they rushed
to embrace each other. ‘‘Mabel!”’
screamed one. “Prissy!’’ shouted
the other. From then on its was
the struggle for existence and the
survival of the fittest. “9
Most noticeable feature was the
appearance of the girls who are
winning the war’for us in Wash-
ington. Merion in. the space’ of a
day learned more about Washing-
ton corruption than they had in a
year. It seems that there is graft
going on concerning rubber houses,
which are not rubber at all but
canvas -which someone blows up
and then covers with---cement.
Sounds unbelievable, doesn’t it?
Last but not least is the girl
who, cold sober, slept on the lawn
last night, apparently thinking it
would be cooler. She complained
bitterly that the moon kept shining
moofin her eyes, while she continued to
think-that it would revolve like the
sun and go away. This same girl
was last seen. playing a_ broken-
down-lute outside Pembroke West.
