Park Addresses
Graduating Class
On Wisdom’s Value

Integration of Knowledge ~
Should Not Disregard
Any Phase

Goodhart, June 6.—‘Wisdom,”
said President Emeritus Marion
Edwards Park in her commence-
ment address, “is the integration
of a human being with all that
he acquires, the acquiring never
coming to an end, the integration
leaving no area untouched.

Stressing the need for wisdom
in the readjustment of economic
and political problems, Miss Park
urged the graduates to devote
their knowledge to public as well
as personal ends.

The acquiring of knowledge and
“a mind-work technique,” said
Miss Park, have combined for
many of the Seniors into an effec-
tive period of preparation and
reconnoitering. In facing new re-
sponsibilities these aids “are not
of a compelling and _ exclusive
nature. They don’t replace the
kinds of help you have had before;
rather they will direct and
strengthen what you now have, as
an electric current first starts and
then keeps in motion a piece of
good apparatus.”

The change from full childhood
to full maturity, Miss Park said,
is one of the new sources of power
on -which—one—can__ draw. This
change is accompanied by a con-
sciousness of “increased determina-
tion for a difficult decision, in-
creased capacity to persist in a
slow and tedious process, in-
creased quickness to understand
persons unlike yourself” and the
ability to utilize failure. If this

Sense of Democracy,

History Aid Graduate
James Cleland States





Goodhart, June 4. Naming five
areas of ethical conflict which con-
fronted college graduates from
1920 to 1935, the Reverend James
T. Cleland, Professor of Religion
at Amherst College, said in his
baccalaureate sermon that the war
will not solve these major issues,
but that the college graduate is
qualified to meet them by possess-
ing a sense of history. and a feel-
ing of democracy. In conjunction
with these, the spiritual strength
of a religion which unites elements
of both should not be refused.

As the five major ethical issues
which demand attention the Rev-
erend Cleland named first the
struggle between imperialism and
the self-assertion of subjected na-
tions, with India as a prime exam-
ple. There is, secondly, a mount-
ing tension between the white and

the United States by the Negr
problem and the problem of Chin-
ese and Japanese immigrants. The

remaining three issues include the

“Indispensable Information Dept.” Created

To Amuse Students

Who Stand and Wait



By Patricia Platt, ’45

A new creative literary vehicle
has sprung to life in the last few
weeks, and in the Library of all
places. If one strolls past the bul-
letin board opposite the English
Department offices a handsome ar-
ray of assorted poetry, cartoons,
and billets doux greet the eye.
Whence came all this? A motto,
placed above the collection con-
tains the clue: “Dedicated-to~-the+-;
Edification, Diversion and Amuse-
ment of those who stand and
wait.” Time has shown that they
also “served,” because contribu-
tions from both faculty and stud-
ents pour in at such a rate the
board has a weekly turnover (ex-
cept for the Department. of Indis-
pensable Information, which is
strictly additive), as well as an
editor who-feels her “great re-
sponsibility.”

Inspiration came to two spirits,
frustrated by the bleak monotony
of standing outside a professor’s
door. This- common bond blos-
somed into a common effort of
such a provocative nature that the
faculty became embroiled. The
“Department of Indispensable In-
formation” drew in Mr. Herben,
and a spirited exchange of erudi-
tion, starting with the sublime
and ending in the ridiculous, still

wages. The Department began its
list with “The Nine Worthies” and
ranged down to “Moses, fates and
furies.” Mr. Herben felt that
‘“Dryads, Naids, Hamadryads and
Oreads” were also indispensable.
This sort of thing continued, al-
though it stalled awhile in a con-
troversy over hamadryads. The
faculty (by then plural) showed
spirit by querying, “What about
the Nine Old Men, and Ten Nights
in a Barroom?”, to which the as-

tute editors responded: “How
about the Faculty’ Baseball
Team?”

The Department of Indispens-
able Information got its main in-
centive from Mr. Chew. The word
“smote”, written in a paper, pro-
voked turmoil in class. The bul-
letin board (with the aid of
Shakespeare) had the last word,
and, when Mr. Chew referred his
class to it, its prestige swelled. The
editor’s one complaint is that Mr.
Sprague takes down what he does
not like.

The feature of the week is a
display of cartoons depicting what
will happen to the faculty when
they get to heaven, after rowing
across the Styx with Father Time
as coxswain. Mr. Sprague is
searching for Kittredge, Mr. Her-

Harvard, BM Concert
Combines Enthusiasm

And Perfect Balance



Specially Contributed by
Rosamund Kent, ’45

Goodhart, June 3. Saturday
evening’s combined concert by the
Harvard Glee Club and the Bryn
Mawr College Choir was charac-
terized by a zest and enthusiasm
which shook the. foundations of
Goodhart Hall. Harvard’s sing-
ers, although outnumbered almost
two to one, had _ sufficient vocal
power to bring about an almost
perfect balance between the two
sections. The spirit of the group
as a whole justified fully the Uni-
versity’s fine musical tradition,
while Bryn Mawr was spurred on
to new heights by such —
support.

The first half of the programme
got off to a rousing start with
Buxtehude’s Zion Hort die Wach-
ter Singen, followed by - another
baroque duet, Ehhore Mich Wenn
Ich Rufe by Schutz. This second
chorus, being in a subdued minor
key, made a good transition to the
dark beauty of tone achieved by

Harvard in the first of a group of|

three motets: Allegri’s Miserere.
Mrs. Deveran took over the baton
from Mr. Woodworth at this point
to conduct Bryn Mawr in a spirit-

ed performance of Constantini’s

Faculty Name Plans —
For Summer Months



A survey of the faculty’s sum-
mer plans, taken while they are

books, reveals that a number will
be doing research while others will
be working on books or teaching.

Mr. Nahm is planning to go
over the proofs of his new book,
Aesthetic Experience and Its Pre-
supposition, while Mr. Weiss is
going to Vermont to prepare his
Foundations of Ethics for publica-
tion and to begin his Foundations
He is also going to
look after his eighty-acre farm,
chopping wood and working on his
vegetable garden.

Miss Oppenheimer will go to the
Marine biological laboratory in
Wood’s Hole, Massachusetts, in
August. Mr. Crenshaw and Miss
Lanman are planning to teach the
E. S. M. W. T. course in analytical
chemistry. The course is open to
girls who have had one year of
chemistry and will prepare them
for work in the test laboratory
of the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
Mr. Watson will be doing geologi-
cal work, and Mr. Berliner is go-
ing to Harvard to do research.

Mrs. Manning is planning to
finish an article on changes in
English commercial policy in the
early nineteenth century and then
she is going to Canada for a vaca-
tion. Mr. Miller will de research
work on the American Revolution
at the Wilham L. Clements library.
Mr. Chew will work at the Hunt-
ingdon Library in San. Marino,
California, as a research associate.

Miss Gardiner and Miss Henle
are planning to be at Bryn Mawr
for most of the summer, and Mr.
Broughton will be here compiling
a list of Roman Magistrates. Miss
Nepper is planning to spend the

MARY STUART BLAKELY



Blakely Hopes to Do
Research in Biology;
Columbia Next Step



Mary Stuart Blakely, winner of
the 1944 European Fellowship, is
also the only summa cum laude
in the class of 44. Her average
for four years is 90.12. Stuie was
awarded the Hinchman Memorial
Scholarship in 1943 for the great-
est general ability in her major
subject.

A biology major and vice- -presi-
dent of the Senior class, she plans

to enter the College of Physicians |

andSurgeons_at Columbia Uni-
versity this fall. She hopes to do
research in biology upon gradua-
tion, but if the war is not over she
will complete her internship and
practice. Stuie has no definite
specialized field as she feels that
she “does not know enough to
specialize.” Each new thing “cap-
tivates her interest,” but she hopes
that while at P. & S. she will set-
tle down. Her only avowed prefer-

ce for research work is_ that
it should be in the country rather
than in a city.

A native of Binghamton, N. Y.,
Stuie attended the central high
school there. Since she has’ been
at Bryn Mawr she has varied her

The Varsity Facets Club “has
announced its decision that next
year and thereafter the stage
manager for the Freshman Show

members of the Varsity Players
Club and the Stage Guild. At least
eight Freshmen shall have been
elected into the clubs on the basis
of stage work done on the fall pro-

The decision was reached through
consultation. among Mrs. Brough-
ton, the Chairman of the Fresh-
man Week.Committee, the
presidents of the. Varsity Players

Ave Atque Vale

It has been the custom in these columns to bid Godspeed
to the departing Senior class, to laud them and their four
years of achievements, to leave them with some choice bits
of moral and ethical advice to carry away with them from
the ivory tower.

Sufficient and more worthy moral and ethical advice has
been given them at Baccalaureate and at Commencement;
they and their achievements cannot be recorded in one short
column. Their contribution to the campus, their part in the
college is something which cannot be defined. We have felt
it as they disappeared from active life as comprehensives
neared; we will feel it more when even their faces disappear
from the Inn. We will remember them as more than §. A.’s,
Lantern girls, garden party girls, as more than the class that
sang best under Pembroke Arch, as we try to fill their shoes
in the three years to come.

What they have got out of their four years at Bryn
Mawr we will not speculate upon, nor what they will meet
in the world at large, but we know that they are equippéd
for it and that they will meet it as.they have met what has
faced them here. We of the classes of 1945, 1946, and 1947
say to them simply,—ave atque vale. .~







Unlimited Cuts

This year’s trial period for unlimited cuts has come to
an end with no statement*as to its success or failure from the
administration. rhe fall, we presume, will bring forth a
statement or some modification in the present plan; mean-
while we wish to reiterate the belief of the majority of the
undergraduates in a system of unlimited cutting.

The undergraduates themselves are unable to pass any
over-all judgment on the success or failure of the system
tested, knowing only their own or their friends’ reaction to
the new freedom. That there have been individual casualties,
that there have been groups transmitting the contagious dis-
ease of cutting, that certain classes, such as those in required
philosophy and science, have had noticeably sparse attend-
ance, they know. Arguments may. be-put-forth defending
such failures, saying, for example, that the same few stud-
ents would overcut and would suffer under a limited system,
or that the same required courses would be cut to capacity.

For those less devoted to the cause of unlimited cutting,
the case is not so simple. They would suggest a compromise
plan, making attendance in the required courses obligatory,
or limiting cuts for the Freshmen, or some for the lower
classes as a whole. To this latter suggestion, we would lodge
the complaint that it is not the Freshmen who cut as much
as those in the upper classes. We would prefer, too, to retain
the commendable tradition of having the four classes on an
equal basis as regards rules and regulations.

By and large, the Bryn Mawr undergraduates believe
themselves, or wish to believe themselves, fitted for the re-
sponsibility of an unlimited cut system. It is a responsibility
and a privilege for which they have fought through many
channels and through many years. With the administration

.. and the faculty lies the decision as to whether this individual
"responsibility has been accepted iis ee in the past year.
We hope to hear that decision. een

DIALOGUE III—PLATOCRATES

Magna—Good morrow, Summa,
I did not expect to find you under
this tree.

Summa—I came out to refresh
myself in-the cool of the evening.
I have just been dining heavily
with some friends. Cum = and
Laude were present.

Magna—They are the Sophists
if I am not mistaken. Pray what
were they debating?

Summa—Cum was endeavoring
to prove the reality of graduation,
but, alas, he was defeated. °

Magna — You mean, in other
words, that such a thing as grad-
uation does not exist?,

Summa-—To: be sure that’ was
the conclusion that was reached.
Laude proved that it was all a
matter of degrees.

Magna—What! I am afraid ‘hat
I do not see your meaning... You
must speak more clearly.

Summa—Softly, good Magna. It
was all quite simple. First let: me
ask you a few questions. What do
you take to be the true meaning
of graduation?

Magna—Why it is the bates
ment of absolute knowledge.

Summa—Then, my friend, am

I to understand that you mean.

graduation is the attainment of
absolute knowledge?
Magna—Yes, Summa, that is my

meaning.

Summa—Surely, ygu cannot be

so foolish as to hold such an opin- |’

ion! If the knowledge is abso-
lute how can you explain this mat-
ter of degrees?

Magna—Indeed, I am afraid I
cannot. I can see no way out un-
less you do away with degrees en-
tirely.

Summa—But, my dear Magna,
certainly you must admit that if
you did away with degrees there
would be no graduation.

Magna—Yes, it seems that this
must be the conclusion.

Summa—tThen, my friend, am I
correct in saying that it is impos-
sible for such a thing as gradua-
tion to exist?

Magna—Yes, Summa, you are
correct. I have nothing more to
say.

Another new source of power,
Miss Park pointed out, is in an

well as those you will be getting,
in larger sections than before and
in more variety of combination.”
The organization of points of view
will make thinking less naive and

Krieselman’s Criticism of ‘Tropic of Cancer’
Notable Among Lantern’s Six Contributions:



Specially Contributed by.
Virginia Armstrong, ’44

Mariam: Kreiselman’s criticism
of Tropic of Cancer, by Henry
Miller, highlights an issue of the
Lantern composed of two poems,
two articles, and two short stories.
Not only is Miss Kreiselman’s re-
action to the book both personal
and comprehensive, but her style
is vigorous, and she aptly sums
up the result of Mr. Miller’s “om-
niverous point of view” by her
statement that “In quantity the
poor and the magnificent tilt for
possession of the bridge.”

The editorial decries literary cen-
sorship that bans to the Amer-
ican public a contribution to cul-
ture such as Mr. Miller makes.
It also questions the value of
literary censorship, in the belief
that “obscenity “in writing is
merely. the appearance of. certain
‘words: in. print which have exist-
efi before only in the spoken lan-
guage.” . This definition might
well be questioned,” , The thought
behind the word is perhaps more
important than. the. ‘word itself,

equal to that of the word. on the

Reverend Cleland said, and we
know that “the last word will not

be spoken in our time.” ‘Counter-
acting this objective force of his-
tory is our feeling for democracy,
a part of our political heritage, “a
way of life demanding and com-
manding certain actions.” +

De Laguna, Head of Philosophy Department
Retires After Thirty-seven Years at B. M.



Mrs. Grace A. de Laguna, mem-
ber of the Department of-Phil-
osophy since 1907 and head of
the department since 1930, retires
from Bryn Mawr with the class
of 1944 at the close of the fifty-
ninth academic year. Her retire-
ment, well deserved as it is, will
take something from the Bryn
Mawr scene which has been known
and esteemed by _ thirty-seven
years of students.

Students, faculty, alumnae, and
friends have, in Mrs. de Laguna’s
last year, indicated their apprecia-
tion. The Department of Phil-
osophy has had Mrs. de Laguna’s
portrait painted by Mrs. Martin
Foss, and the portrait has been
exhibited in Philadelphia as well
“-as taking the place of honor in
the 1944 Yearbook.

Former students of Mr. and
Mrs. de Laguna have raised a gift
in their honor, to, be used to in-
vite philosophers from other uni-
vergities and colleges to address
the students at Bryn Mawr.
Faculty and friends gave a cock-
tail party on June 1, presenting
a gift to Mrs. deLaguna, and
her students presented her with

flowers at the end of the year’s}

classes.

Delving into her past, Mrs. de
Laguna records that her interest
in philosophy was first stimulated
in pre-college days by Herbert
Spencer. Spencer’s influence was
superseded by that, of . Henry
George and John Dewey. While at
Cornell, where she received her
AB and her PhD, Mrs. de Laguna
belonged to a group’ which re-
volted against German idealism.

In thirty-seven years, Mrs. de
Laguna has seen changes, for the
good and for the bad, on the
campus. She noted the disap-
pearance of a tendency toward
preciousness and perhaps _intel-
lectual snobbishness, and at the
same time of a passionate interest
in movements and in intellectual
matters. “The external changes,
Mrs. de Laguna felt, are even
more noticeable, as when the stu-
dents used to walk down to the
athletic fields in skirts, going in-
to small tents on the field to re-
move them before playing, and
when no men were allowed to at-

tend plays.
It is further than the Bryn
Mawr campus that Mrs. de La-

--guna—is-knewn, She-—is-at present
the president of the eastern divi-
sion of the American Phil-
osophical Association, and has also
served as its vice-president. With
her husband, she has written Dog-
matism and Its Evolution, and,
singly, Speech, Its Development
and Function. Mrs. de Laguna
looks forward to her retirement as
a time when she can do writing
and reading, meanwhile continuing

ben is saying “Now, Geoffrey .. ”
-as~the--worthy.Chaucer__ triesgy to
brain him, while Mr. Chew is step-
ping up to join Moses and Isaiah.
Praxiteles is trying to persuade
Mr. Carpenter that he really did
make the statue in question. In
addition to this fascinating exhibit
are a number of choice selections
of poetry, original and otherwise,
but all apropos. They vary from
Shakespeare to “Triolet in Spring-
time, or What the Heliot,” with
the melancholy refrain, “He asked
_me for a date, and exams start to-
morrow.”

The bulletin board also deals in
personal appeal. The “billets
doux,” interspersed with literary
efforts, act as a subsidiary mail
system between students and pro-
fessors. But most “appealing” of
all is the huge headline topping the
board for exam week: “The Qual-
ity of Mercy is not Strained.”



he¥ “work” with the “Philosophical
Association.

More particularly, in her con-
nection with the campus, Mrs. de
Laguna acted as the first chair-
man of the Faculty Defense Com-
mittee. She has had a particular
interest in intérdepartmental
teaching and has done much to
further it, assisting in the Theory
and Practise of Democracy: course
and in the Eighteenth Century
course. There is, Mrs. de Laguna
feels, too much compartmentaliza-
tion in the curriculum. The facul-
ty is not aware of what goes on
in other departments, and misses
the advantage that comes through
a cooperative course in that they
do not become aware of the way
in which their colleagues work.

An Army Brat, Davis Records
Flunking Mental Hygiene
In Her Career



“I flunked the mental hygiene,”
admits Ruth Alice Davis, alternate
for the European Fellowship, with
an average of 88.18, looking back
on the vicissitudes of her college
career, “but I bent the twig all
summer, and passed the thing.”

A chemistry major, Davie says
that she is known as “Butterfin-

gers” Davis in the lab, where she
once broke an irreplacable ap-
paratus made especially for her
by Mr. Crenshaw. She put all
eighteen pieces of it on his desk
with a note saying, “I think I
need a vacation,” and did not dare
go back to lab for a week.

Being an “Army brat,” Davie
had a primary education that was
more varied than anything else.
In her last few years before en-
tering college, she attended the
Todhunter School in-New York,
and Western High School in Balti-
more.

%

Having been a. Frances Marion
Simpson scholar all four years at
Bryn Mawr, she has been award-
ed the Jane V. Myers Memorial
Medical Scholarship for study at
the College of Physicians and
Surgeons at Columbia. This sum-
mer she is going to work on the
Bryn Mawr campus training the
‘EL. S. M. W. Te students for
chemical jobs in the Philadelphia
Navy Yard.

Although she hopes to become
a doctor, Davie says she feels her
life at Bryn Mawr has prepared
her for a professorial life more
than for anything else. She even
. forgot to go to breakfast at Miss
Bride’s.

beings, with no special privilege,
no recognition of achievement, no
normal supply of safe-conduct
passes in life.” This knowledge,
she said, clears your mind of de-
lusions of importance and of spe-
cial privilege.

The integration of this knowl-
edge into wisdom, said Miss Park,
can_be barred by an unwillingness
to allow it to work with knowl-
edge. The indolent, the timid and
the unjust also build up barriers
against it because “wisdom does
not recognize the lazy.” Only by
an ardent desire and a persistent
effort can wisdom be attained.

Wisdom will. be desperately
needed to save civilization. The
readjustment of economic and
political problems need the know]l-
edge and wisdom of men and
women. Women, especially, must
now use their, personal experience,
absorbed interest and persistence
and patience in dealing with long-
drawn-out projects for public ends.

The comparative lack of women
in publie offices, said Miss Park,
would horrify the first feminist
missionaries. Consequently, Miss
Park concluded with the hope that
this generation will take on pub-
lic affairs as naturally and
competently as bringing up chil-
dren, intelligently testing and ap-
plying their knowledge.

as a consequence, inward peace in

Summer Conferences |

Will Meet on Campus



Delegates from two associations
will hold meetings on the Bryn
Mawr College campus this sum-
mer, the Institute of International
Relations and the Y. W. C. A. The
Friends Social Union will also hold
a picnic meeting.

The Fifteenth Annual Institute
of International Relations, under
the auspices of the American
Friends Service Committee, will
convene here from June 23 to July
2. The title of the conference
will be From War to Peace. The
primary purpose of the Institute
is to provide a critical and con-
structive study of the immediate
problems that face the world.

A faculty of nine persons, each
an expert in his field, will come,
not only to give lectures, but to
share in any general discussions.
Among those coming to give

enunciation typical of the evening
as a whole was particularly evi-
dent.

Following the always lovely
strains of Byrd’s Look, Downe, O
|'\Lord, were three choruses from
| Brahms Requiem. There were a
few uneven .attacks in Blessed Are
They That Mourn, but the chorus-
es did full ‘justice to the lyric
beauty of How Lovely Is Thy
Dwelling Place, and built up to a
tremendously exciting climax in .
Here on Earth Have We No Con-
tinuing Place, with its increasing-
ly confident reiterations of Death,
Where Is Thy Triumph. Donald
Barnhouse ’44 compassed the dif-
ficult leaps of the solo passages
with ease and assurance.

Harvard opened the second half
of the programme with a lusty
performance of Amarosa’s final]
chorus from I] Matrimonio Seg-
reto. Following this, an octet came
up to the piano to sing two very
engaging catches by Purcell. This
is a type of singing that Bryn
(Mawr would do well to imitate.
The informal and humorous atmos-
phere of both songs was altogether _
delightful, The Tarantella of Ran-
dall Thompson ’40, which followed,

End of It All in Hilarious Senior Speeches



By Susan Oulahan, °46

From Taylor to Dalton to the
gym to the lib, we traipsed, fol-
lowing the b!ack-robed Seniors 4s
they sang gcod-bye to the faculty
on class day.

On Taylor steps Lisby Watkins
celebrated the withdrawal of “the
most senile memVers” of .the Sen-
ior class and began the class day
speeches with nostalgic reminis-
cences and prophetic utterances.
“After four years of delving into
the peripatetic philanderings of
Plato, of smothering in scientific
method, of learning all of Bart-
lett’s quotations to pass English
lit, of memorizing a page a day to
pass an oral a year,” Lisby won-
dered if the Seniors could really
cope with the post-war refrigerat-
or. Flapping her gown in the
breeze and. predicting a future of
hazardous pitfalls, she concluded
on a note of dubious consolation.
“Once free from Bryn Mawr,” she
said, “they perhaps will no long-
er be classified with prostitutes
under Pennsylvania law.”

Ginny Belle Klopfer bounced out
of Dalton to dissertate on science.
Clad in a chef’s hat and a white
lab coat, Ginny Belle claimed that
she had never been in Dalton be-
fore. She may not know the dif-
ference between a bunsen burner
and a slide-rule, but she can al-
ways tell a science major because
everybody -else is getting tan.

explanatory programme notes, as
the change of mood from wild
frenzy to almost religious solemn-
ity was not comprehensible with-
* out a reminder of the circum-
stances from which the dance gets
its name. James T. Lawlor °44
performed an exacting accompani-
ment with spirit. The clever ar-
rangement of Casey Jones, which
completed Harvard’s solo work,
Was enjoyed as much by the chor-
us as by the audience.

The three contemporary songs
which were Bryn Mawr’s solo con-
tribution all called for, and receiv-
ed, finesse and delicacy of treat-
ment. Good diction was especial-
ly noticeable in the Hungarian
folk-song, See the Gypsy Munch-
ing Cheese. The surprise of the
evening came with Irving G. Fine’s
setting of three choruses from
Alice in Wonderland. Mr, Fine,
who was accompanying the chorus,
has done a splendid job of catch-
ing the spirit of Lewis Carroll’s
nonsensical verses. The composer
made ‘effective use of humorous
syncopation in The Lobster Quad-
rille and The Lullaby of the Duch-
-es, while Father William was a
riotous race from start to finish.
Susan Horn ’45, in her admoni-
tions to the “ugly baby,” combined
poise with a pleasantly modulated
voice,

Saturday’s concert was indeed
an artistic success from every
point of view. With such an aus-
picious beginning it is greatly to
be hoped that Mrs. Deveran and
Mr. Woodworth will continue to
keep up musical relations between
Bryn Mawr and Harvard. Such a

that she had often-met pale biol--
ogists creeping back from Dalton
rolling the circles of their eyes be-
fore them, Grabbing her lab coat
around her, she suddenly bounced
back into Dalton. After all, her
schizophrenic was burning. ©

Hilly) Dunn, dank and damp
from a| recent plunge. in the pool,
innocently appeared on the gym
steps only to find: herself faced
the prospect of making a
speéch. Unravelling a long pink
ribbok, from some hidden recess in
garb, Hilly managed to
salvage some notes on Miss Petts’
dancing class. At a dance recital
she noticed that all the dancers



declothed until they were down to}

one liberty scarf. She had con-
templated wearing hers but un-
fortunately her roommate had. it
on’ her head. Light on the meta-
tarsal arch and leading with the
chest, Hilly bade us: go forth into
the world. But then she knew we
weren’t going forth into the
world. We were going to the lib-
rary.

There, we were confronted with
a veritable Dorothy Lamour in the
person of Jessie Stone. Covered
with leis and wrapped in a reason-
able facsimile of a sarong, Jessie
puffed on a cigarette from the bal-
cony above the front door of the
lib. Picturing herself as one of
nature’s - children with “definite
propensities toward the red man,”
Jessie war-hooped-her new slogan,
“a-red, c-red, b-red.” ‘Jessie, it

| seems, ‘has spent her’ career at

Bryn Mawr practicing self-control.
She somehow managed to keep
from reading all the books in the
library. She even learned from
“not-so-bitter experience” to -re-
sist:the men that lurk in senior
row. In a discussion on marriage
with Mr. Hubbard,- she had also

learned—‘‘keep your assets froz-
en.”

Faculty Neglect
Big League Game

Hockey Field, June 4. The base-
ball season and that timerhonored
tradition of faculty baseball games
hit an all-time low last Sunday.

What remained
Mawr Varsity baseball team, clad
Bureau-made uni-
forms, and what could be scraped
up of those not completely passed} . 2
out after exams, met on the dia- J
mond at 2:30, raring for the fray.
They waited, they warmed up for
the stiff competition that was due
to arrive any minute. :

Sunday, however, no one at all
showed up and the expected pro-
fessional-student fray lapsed into
a mild game of scrub.

‘News’ Jump Up on Chairs, Dance Goes On
As Diminutive Mouse Invades Goodhart Hall

What was it? A mouse! It
coyly peeked its head out of a
notebook on the window sill of
the News Room, where cake-
crumbs lurked, and _ decided to
come in for more. The result was
an athletic and hysterical night
ofthe News, for our diminutive
e (it was ‘never settled
fuer it was undernourished or
ehile) hadn’t the foresight to
réalize phat it is easier to jump








off a gy@at height than to climb
Up “ONC ge Aiea gti
Pree @on the stroke of

twelve, our mascot left to join
the Glee Club dance in the Com-
mon Room. It scooted across the
floor while the News jumped to



the seats of its chairs. Harvard |
failed ‘to detect its minute pres-
ence, beingxthen deeply engrossed
in what, judging by the laughter,
were rather spicy speeches.

Back came ‘“Cinderella’s horse”
to where it continued to cause con-
sternation. Periodic calls from
dance fugitives, who seemed to
feel that the News Room ‘served
the social. function of Ladies
Room, finally discouraged it, and
gorged with food, it fled into the
night.

The dance ended: with : mellow
songs, culminating in “Fair
Haavaad,” and the News, by then
nostalgic, pondered on the prob-
lems of mice and men.
