B, M. Summer Camp
To Hold Xmas Party

On Monday, December 138, the
members of the Bryn Mawr
League Camp for underprivileged
children will hold a reunion in the
Common Room of Goodhart, where
Bryn Mawr girls who served as
counsellors last summer will play
host to their former charges. As
the guests range from four’ to
eight years of age, the party will
have Santa Claus as guest of hon-
or and main attraction for the
afternoon,

The children who attended the
camp at Stone Harbor last sum-
mer are to be brought to Bryn
Mawr from their homes in Phila-
delphia and will receive royal wel-
come from Phoebe Stevens, Edith
Rhoads, and the group who ran
- the camp under their leadership.
Two Bryn Mawr maids are also
looking forward to seeing them
again, Anna from. Merion, and
Minnie from Pembroke West.
These two have been on the staff
of the summexz camp for 9 and 12
years respectively, and the chil-
dren who return to camp in suc-
cessive years always remember
them.

To entertain the young guests,
songs and games remembered
from camp are planned. Santa
Claus and refreshments will make
the afternoon complete.

Another annual League activity,
the maids’ and porters’ dance, will
not be held as is customary be-
fore Christmas. Although defin-
ite plans have not been made, the
danee has been scheduled for
sometime in February.



Great “International Celebrities” Welcome
New American Citizen at German House



By Susan Oulahan, 46

The ominous presence of the
reasonable facsimiles of an Amer-
ican Indian and the Statue of Lib-
erty in German House last Thurs-
day night made us uncomfortably
aware that something was up. It
seems that the venerable corner
of Denbigh Hall had assumed no
less a proportion than the White
House dining room where Mr.
and Mrs. Roosevelt (with apolo-
gies to Mary Sue Chadwick and
Margaret Spencer) ®were lavishly
entertaining Miss Hilde Cohn and
Miss Caroline Damerau.

The occasion was the celebration
of Miss Cohn’s final step in be-
coming an American citizen and
we who have less vivid imagina-|

tions can only wonder admiring-}-

ly at the extensive scope of the
German house party. Mr. Roose-
velt took advantage of this golden
opportunity to make one of his
better speeches on the privileges
of the American citizen. Chewing
gum and the _elevateds, he be-
lieves, are practically synonymous
with these privileges.

Mrs, R., bedecked appropriate-
ly enough in an Eleanor Blue
gown, showered many _ well-des-
erved honors on Miss Damerau
for her part in insuring a “whole-
some home front,’ whatever that

might be. The gesture, however,
was nice. Miss Damerau, who
perceived conditions at Bryn

Mawr and thoughtfully came all



the way from Minnesota to tackle

them, was awarded the Neptune
Trident and the Iron Cross for
more or less obscure reasons. Par-
ticularly exciting was the institu-
tion of the Eleanora Award so
that Miss Damerau might contin-
ue her noble work on slums, viz.
the German House bathroom, by
living in them and learning first
hand how best to clear them.

Looking about us, we were par-
ticularly impressed by the rotund
proportions of a large (elephant
in the window, which made us re-
alize that both, political parties
were being well represented. How-
ever, the undeniable pinkness of
the creature made us fear we
were perhaps enjoying ourselves
too much. :

Present at this auspicious gath-
ering were the German House
versions of nearly everyone whose
name we have frequently seen in
the press. Queen Whilhemina,
known here as Analise Thiemann,
arrived in a most luxurious black
and ermine court gown with a di-
adem of oranges, stolen from that
morning’s breakfast, shining
above her blonde hair. Mary Stu-
art Blakely as Anthony Eden,

and Mickey Manning and Francois

Miss Lehr Explains
Math in Map-making

Dalton Hall, December 1. The
application of elementary mathe-
matics to map-making was the
subject of Miss Marguerite Lehr’s
talk to the Science Club as the first
of six lectures on the position of
the sciences in the,war. She dis-
cussed the various types of maps”



cluding the mercator, gnomic maps
and maps based on aerial photo-
graphs.

Describing the way in which
mapping is done, Miss Lehr said
that as a general practice in map-
making, a theory is first formulat-
ed by putting together extremely
elementary ideas of mathematics
and then the theory is turned into
a routine that can be used easily.
The classical theory of mapping is
used today in modern application.
In large scale maps airplane pho-
tographs are used, and most re-
cently, radio bearings.

“The sheer fact of geography
will influence the kind of map that
cartographers will make for their
