Student Dramas
Expose Talents,

Audience Discussions
Emphasize Merits

Of Dialogue
by Gwynne Williams, ’50

Saturday night Mr. Thon’s Play-
writing and Production class pre-
sented three one-act plays written
and produced by the students them-
selves. Anybody there must have
been impressed by the obvious fun,
enthusiasm and interest that went
into these plays. There should be
more of this sort of activity; one
comes away from such an evenifig
with a creative incentive, but ade-
quate excuse is needed (such as a
class, combined with such excellent
guiding as Mr. Thon’s) to render
the inspiration actual.

Audience Discusses Plays

The plays were each discussed
briefly by the audience. The first,
Less Than An Animal, by Marjorie
Low, ’50, dealt with the depressing
conflict between a sharecropper and
his-wife,--In- this melancholy ex-
hibition a husband, angered by his
wife’s unresponsiveness, plans to
Jesert her and: go off with. his
daughter. The wife, aware of her
husband’s attitude, stirs up her
idiot half-brother’s vague inten-
tions to marry the daughter. The
idiot’s quality of mad possessive-
ness for the girl’s prettiness makes
him putty in the hands of the
scheming mother and presents an
origina] aspect of the play. The
audience expressed the opinion that
the idiot was not entirely credible
and criticized some\smaller details,
such as too many entrances and ex-
its and some repetitiousness. For
what the play was worth, the dia-
logue was well created and pre-
sented, but my impression is that
the author is not adequately versed
in the lot of sharecroppers to write
plays about them.

Scream to the Winds, by Alan
Levensohn, of a more philosophical
nature, deals with the characters

and thoughts of five soldiers await-

Kuder Pref. Test
Set for Feb. 21

What profession or vocation to
choose? The question of choosing a
vocation will be the main concern
of the Educational Service of the
College during the next few weeks.
On February 21, at 9:30, in Taylor
Hall, Rooms F and G, the Kuder
Preference r gti ill be admin-
istered to . ents who wish to
take it. Miss Bates is now taking

registrations in Taylor Hall, Room
H. Following the administration
of the Preference Record, there will
be a group interpretation of the
results. Mrs. Cox, Director of the
Educational Service, will be avail-
able for individual interpretations
the week after ‘the test. The indi-
vidual interview provides an oppor-
tunity to discuss your own test re-
sults and vocational possibilities.

The Kuder is a standardized psy-
chologicahtest which helps students
identify the vocations which most
nearly fit their individual interests.
According to Mrs. Cox, the test
gives the student an opportunity to
survey briefly nine different voca-
tional areas and to express a pref-

erence for the activities which

Sleighing, Movie, Pennmen Here:
Take the Big Leap of the Year!

by Irina Nelidow ’50

This. year’s Freshman Show

Weekend (Leap Year into the bar-|.

gain!), promises to be more excit-
ing, more original, and more spec-
tacular than ever before. High-
lighted and climaxed by the Fresh-
man Show itself on Saturday, Feb-
ruary 28, the weekend holds a
store of gay activities that should
keep everyone and her date busy
every minute.

First on the agenda is a movie
on Friday evening in the Music
Room. Noel Coward’s Cavalcade
will be shown at seven-thirty, fol-
lowing which all will adjourn to the
Soda Fountain, due to open at nine
fifteen. The movie will be shown
again on Saturday afternoon at
three o’clock. After this there will
be a brief respite to give every-
one time to prepare for the show.
Then at eight-thirty The Big Leap
will have its world premiere in
Goodhart, and sophomore sleuths
will have ended or given up their
twenty-four hour search.

After the show; more fun will
begin with the Undergraduate
Dance at 11:00 in the gym. Bril-
liant, startling decorations whose
basie-theme~is~ still secret are be-
ing “cooked up” by Gale Minton
and her decorating committee. New
features of the dance include small
card tables placed around the dance
floor which may be reserved ahead
of time and will make it easier for
groups to stick together. Starting
tomorrow, dance cards and table
reservations may be obtained from
eleven to two o’clock in Room A.

Dance Committee include: Virginia

Goodhart Dances
Multiply Chances

Saturday night may be the lone-
liest night in the week, but last
Friday, the 18th, was anything
but that for innumerable Denbigh
and Merion girls and more Haver-
ford boys. The first in a series of
dances, in response to a student pe-
tition for more social life on ¢am-
pus, was held in Goodhart. From
most reports the affair was a thor-
ough success and even the NEWS,
intending to put in a brief and
business-like appearance, was
caught in the mood.

Music, supplied by the juke box,
was continuous because of the ten-
cent admission fee. The soda foun-
tain worked overtime, supplying
welcome refreshments. It was a
gala occasion, which served the
purpose for the petition signers. A
similar dance will be held next Fri-
day for the Pembrokes.

Miss Dodd Gives
20 Books to Lib.

The New Book Committee would
like to announce that the books
given by Miss Katherine Dodd in
honor of Lucy Martin Donnelly are
now in the Quita Woodward Me-
morial Room. There are 20 new
books in all with a great variety
of subject matter ranging from
Fine Arts to Novels.

Some of the titles are The Let-
ters of James M. Barrie, edited by
Viola Maynell; Robert Graves’
Poems 1938-1945; Trial of a Poet,
by Karl Shapiro; Butterfield’s The
American Past, A Pictorial History
1775-1945; American Interior Dec-
orating, by Merrick R. Rogers, and
John Steinbeck’s The Pearl.





Graham, Judy Nicely, Nina Cave,
Jeannette Hersey and Jess Vorys.
Music will be provided by the
Pennmen, invited back by popular
demand, and during the intermis-
sion the Nassoons from Princeton
will sing. The Dance Committee
has emphasized the fact that every-
one must come formally dressed
and should go through the receiv-
ing line.

‘More festivities on Sunday! A
sleigh ride in the afternoon will end
up at Valley Green, a hot chocolate
tavern. A lack of snow will mere-
ly turn the sleigh ride into a hay
ride. Four sixteen-seater sleighs
have been hired for the occasion,
and on this note will end the best
Freshman Show Weekend yet.

One last item: the gym will be
open from three-thirty to ‘six on
Sunday afternoon for all those who
feel athletic.

Freshmen to Take

Their “Big Leap”

What is a bandersnatch? Why
is each member of the Freshman
Class perfecting her game of leap-

been taking place behind the close-

answers to these and many other
questions will be revealed when The

Show, is presented on February 28.
in Goodhart. Until then the Direc-
tor, Cynnie Schwartz, only smiles
enigmatically. In spite of this veil
of secrecy the news has leaked out
that the Show is not based on a
college theme but concerns the ad-

College Includes
Spiritual Aspect
Says Butterfield

Religious Enterprise
Essential Part

Of Program

Common Room, February 16.
“Religion in College Education” is
a “difficult, delicate subject, to be
faced with courage and concern,”
said Dr. Butterfield, President of
Wesleyan College. The college
must make the best possible plan
for furthering “the spiritual de-
velopment of the student, broadly
considered.” The importance of
the problem arises from the ten-
dency of religion to disappear
from our campuses in the present

-“age of secularism.” Dr. Butter-

field stressed the necessity of relat-
ing “religion in some form or oth-
er& to education in general “be-
cause the growing sense of spirit-
ual uneasiness has made religious
enterprise an attempt to satisfy
the unrest arising from confu-
sion.”

Dr. Butterfield’s discussion was
based upon “a relatively loose def-
inition” of religion; he included in
the term two main facets: “com-
munion with, search for, belief in a
being not ourselves, above and be-
yond us, towards which we reach”
and “values generally, towards
which religious enterprise will
move.” Religious enterprise, thus
conceived, includes both “faith”
and “experience.” “Conceptual no-
tions, which conceive of a_ being
symbolically” supplement and are
supplemented by action and exper-
ience.

Practical Approach —

In addition to the justification of
learning in a liberal college as
“something of supreme value in
its own right,” Dr. Butterfield
pointed out that there is an equal-
ly important justification which
may be termed “practical,” not in a
superficial sense, but rather, “what
Aristotle meant by practical wis-
dom.” In connection with this end
of education, Dr. Butterfield be-
lieves that religion is essential to a
college program. The student must
become, “by virtue of the kind of
learning one gets in the whole lib-
eral program,” a “more highly
sensitized, capable thinker,” with
increased understanding to enable
him to face better the “problems
of his unpredictable future.” To
make this possible, “one of the
burdens of the college is to see
that the mind of the student does

Broughton, Berry, Lattimore
Fell the Grads, Pile up the Score

by Cecelia Maccabe ’50

The basketball game between
faculty and graduate students was
given the first suggestion of the
unorthodox with posters “plug-
ging” the faculty team. The first
to strike our attention was “Martis
40c, with olives 45c,” and this made
a lasting impression upon us when
Miss Marti failed to put in an ap-
pearance. The sign asking “Have
you Broughton your first aid kit?”
reassured all spectators that the
casual gentleman in slacks who
gallantly stopped to pick up each
of his student victims was none
other than our own classicist.

One very ‘young’ gentleman,
whose name we think is Jim, com-



pletely ignored the poster com-
manding “Do not feed or in any
way annoy the faculty.” At reg-
ular intervals as this spectator pro-
ceeded to slide through the railing
of the track, ecstatically watching
his scientist father boost the fac-
ulty score, he was heard to shout
“Daddy—Daddy. Hey, Pop!” Oth-
er than the score, 53-16, in favor
of the faculty, there were no major
catastrophies. Several grad stu-
dents were felled by strong blows
in the course of the game, but since
each managed to pick herself up

before her guard or guarded, rush-
ing valiantly to her side, could be

of service, we presume nothing se-

The Artist and the Audience

A constructive step in the stimulaion of student creative
activity was taken with the presentation of the three infor-
mal plays last Saturday night. The plays were student-writ-
ten, acted and directed, and they were very good indeed. The
audience clearly appreciated the high caliber of the produc-
tions, and put to good use the opportunity to comment on
each play in individual discussions led by Mr. Thon and the

student directors.

Such tacit recogniton of

the importance of free com-

munication between the creator and the critic, an interrela-
tion necessarily Jimited in more formal productions, gives
hope for increased general participation in creative activity
in the future,” The pleasure the audience showed in being
encouraged to take an active rather than a contemplative role

suggests
than the dramatic.

at equal interest might be taken in other fields

More frequent and less formal exhibitions by the Art
Studio, the orchestra, the individually talented students who
now play and sing only to the basement walls of Goodhart,
dance and language clubs, as well as Mr. Thon’s interesting
acting class, would certainly be welcome if the standards of
last Saturday night were maintained. We hope that Arts
Night, as well as giving a comprehensive picture of student
creative activity, will also show the general excellence of
quality that Playwrights’ Night has led us to expect.



BM Students in Italy Describe GG
Intellectual and Social Activities

by Pat Nichol ’50

“Perugia, small, high on a hill,
surrounded by ancient walls, where
every stone has a history and every.
street is filled with meaning, seems
to sleep in the green of its hills,
yet it is so alive’—writes Mary
Strumia ’48, President of the Ital-
ian Student Group in the Smith
College Junior Year abroad. She
and Anne Storrow ’48, are the two
Bryn Mawrtyrs in this group of
12 students who “enjoyed an intro-
duction to Italy,” while in Perugia
for their visit was “a collection of
incidents—lectures and _ classes,
concerts and gitas, affreshi and
churches, Koran walls, Etruscan
remnants and, Papal fortresses,
Perugian chocolate and pasta
dolce.”

After a month filled with intel-
lectual and social life, the girls left
for Florence for the winter. Their



first impression of Florence was
from a bus... “a city built in the
valley, surrounded by hills, dotted
with villas and little towns built
around churches,” and they could
see “the characteristic Duomo of
Brunelleschi and Campanile of Gi-
otto and the tower of the Palazzo
of the Signoria . . . The very an-
cient and medieval part of the city
was destroyed and there are now
only vacant holes and sometimes
neatly piled stones.”

Seeing one another at teas,
birthday parties and classes, each
girl lives with a family in Flor-
ence where she necessarily speaks
Italian and learns many things,
one being the Italian code of man-
ners. At the artistic University
of Florence they study art, Ital-
ian literature, history, and cultures
under such excellent professors as

February 16:

“The purpose of the Havana Con-
ference is to set up rules of the
game for the handling of interna-
tional trade and to reduce the trade
barriers that have grown up,” stat-
ed Miss Mildred Northrop, who is
on leave of absence from the Bryn
Mawr Economics Department.

Miss Northrop is now in the
American delegation to the United
Nations Conference on Trade and
Employment, which started on No-
vember 20 and is still continuing.

“If the Havana Conference fails
to set up a charter, the other eco-
nomic organizations of the U. N.
will not function well,” Miss Nor-
throp said. This charter will be the
culmination of three efforts. The
proposals for a trade organization
were first suggested by the United
States two years ago and were
drafted and re-drafted in London,
New York and Geneva.

Between November 29 and De-
cember 6 the delegates studied the
Geneva draft and proposed no less
than 800 amendments. The Con-
ference was then broken into six
committees that sought to in-
crease the standards of living for
all peoples, and to remove the as-
pects of trade that are used for
political purpose. These six com-
mittees dealt with employment—
seeking a charter with full employ-
ment for all; economic develop-
ment, which includes foreign in-
vestments; and commercial policy.
Business practices, commodity
agreement and actual organization
are dealt with by three other com-
mittees. —

Miss Northrop emphasized that

“although the Charter sets up

rules, it has many escape clauses.”
The question of voting has also
been very controversial. Most coun-
tries came out for “one country,
one vote.” However, the executive
council now gives permanent seats
to the eight most economically pow-
erful nations.

In conclusion, Miss Northrop
spoke of the tremendous “weight”
that the U. S. has around the con-
ference table. She declared “how
to learn to use this _power—in the
way that will be best is a most
serious and important problem.”

Three Student Plays

Continued from Page 1

ing execution in an enemy prison.
The Haverford men who played the
parts handled so beautifully the
exceptionally sensitive dialogue as
to render this play the most worth-
while of the evening. Very defi-
nite personality and feeling was ex-
pressed in each of the five charac-
ters facing death with different at-
titudes toward wisdom and cour-
age. The audience argued whether
the play would be more effective in
reading than in the presentation.
Though the language was out-
standing, it is probably true—as
Mr. Thon pointed out—that this
play would be received with much
less interest and attention by a
more varied or “average” audience.

The last play, The Tune is High,
was written by John Hauser, also
production manager. This comedy
about: two unemployed musicians,
one sweetheart, one drunken lady
and one tearoom proprietor wasn’t
very funny, but gave access to
some good humour in the form of
two singing acts, a tie-selling act
and a drunken “enigma.” The plot,
excluding the funny acts, was a lit-
tle too dull and ‘meaningless to be
worthwhile; everybody seemed a
little superfluous. However, there
was a natural tone to the dialogue
and characters that suggests &
promise in the author in reference
to future comedies.

from a lack of dramatic talent
since 68 of its members will appear
in the Show. The cast is headed by
the two romantic leads, the hero-

hero, by Molly Frothingham. The

Though the Show includes such

wrestle in various ways with the
complex set of basic human prob-
lems.” An awareness of the re-
ligious aspects of these problems
is to be sought in conjunction with
a-consideration of social, political,
|ethical, and aesthetic aspects.
“The college is in the position
of putting the area of religious
concern back into the picture along
with other areas. Dr. Butterfield
pointed out that, while the method
varies with areas and situations,
the essential need on every liberal
campus is a “total community of
minds, among faculty and students,
that are themselves in the process
of growth” among all the dimen-
sions of a liberal college. Issues



Hours for Goodhart

‘Goodhart will be open until
11.30 p. m. Sunday through
Thursday, and until 2 o’clock on
Friday and Saturday. However,
any group with a good reason
for keeping it open later than
11.30 may send in a requisition
to the Business Office, 24 hours
before they wish it open. The
college will pay the extra
charges.







in related fields must be realized
by an aware faculty; department-
alization in the extreme must be
transcended. The creation of such
a state of mind will depend in part
upon the choice of faculty and in
part upon “the kind of machinery
used to further and stimulate en-
terprise on any given scene.”

Dr. Butterfield cited, for exam-
ple, the stimulation of a more
open-minded and scholarly atmos-
phere by a required “Humanities”
course at Wesleyan University. A
study of the important books of
Western civilization, mostly relig-
ious in interest, with the emphasis
chiefly but not exclusively on re-
ligion, seems to have produced the
desired effect of increasing the “in-

tellectual respectability of re-
ligion.”

gnashing my teeth!” :





BMT in Fiction

Specially contributed by
Katrina Thomas °49

Through the eyes of an incessant
talker during a rubber of bridge
in Ring Lardner’s short story, Who
Dealt?, we see Mrs. A. L. Guth-
rie.

“She’s the queerest woman! If
you just saw her, you’d think she
was a janitor or something;
and she wears the most hide-
ous clothes. Why, that night she
had on a... honestly, you’d have
sworn it was a maternity gown,
and for no reason... And she’s a
graduate of Bryn Mawr and one
of the oldest families in Philadel-
phia.” But, Mrs. Guthrie is really
awfully nice.

“She was the first woman in
Portland that called on me and I
thought it was awfully nice of her,
though when I saw her at the door
I would have sworn she was a book
agent or maybe a cook looking for
work.”

Mrs. Guthrie and her husband
argue over the bridge table, accord-
ing to the talkative lady who ram-
bles on:

“She’s nice and quiet and it’s a
kind of mystery how they ever fell
in love ...I never saw two people
with such different tastes. For in-
stance, Mr. Guthrie is keen on mo-
toring and Mrs. Guthrie just hates
it. She simply suffers all the time
she’s in a car. He likes a good
time, dancing, golfing, fishing,
shows, things_like that.__She-isn’t
interested in anything but church
work and bridge work.”

Cosmopolitan Publishes

This story was published in 1926
by Cosmopolitan magazine, but two
summers ago the same publication
rejected a story about a middle-
aged Bryn Mawr graduate, an old
maid of one of Boston’s best fam-
ilies who traveled to Mexico with
two friends. While she was there
she picked up a ring at a little
jewelry store, a hideous ring which
she really did not want, but had
some difficulty removing it from
her finger so that she bought it.
A dashing young senor, always in
white, becomes quite attentive to
our heroine who imagines he ‘is tre-
mendously enamored of her. She
consents in wild ecstasy to go boat-
ing with him, but instead of ser-
enading her and caressing her hand
on this joy-ride, he sticks a dagger
into her breast. Then, cutting off
the finger that wears the ring, he
sets the body adrift. The ring he
sends to his own true love —his
mother!

pressions of preference yield scores
which are thrown into a profile
showing how the individual’s inter-
ests compare with those of other
people. The nine areas are so se-
lected that they suggest a variety
of vocational fields. . .

The Kuder is not intended to tell
the person taking it whether she
has the ability to do a given kind
of job successfully. Supplemen-
tary tests and other information
may answer the question of: apti-
tude. Mrs. Cox points out, how-_

ever, that careful specialists in the —

field of psychological testing know
that neither interest nor aptitude
tests indicate that an individual is
destined for a particular type of
work. The vast array of tests now
used in vocational guidance are
simply helpful landmarks in choos-
ing a direction.

A chance to talk over the profile
of one’s own Kuder Record with an
advisor adds greatly to the value
of the procedure. Appointments

were the star basket throwers
among the faculty, aided and abet-
ted by Mr. Lattimore and one
graduate who was confused by the
change of baskets at the half. Long
passes were the chief contribution
of Mr. Norris, whose strength was
beyond all imagination and whose
aim was confused by a malicious
desire to murder the spectators on
the track. Mr. Alcola played, in
contrast, such a gentlemanly game
that we are left with nothing but
praise for him.

Noteworthy in behalf of the
graduates was their average size.
We overheard Mr. Sprague say it
was a shame they weren’t all sev-
en feet tall, and so it was. Despite
all, they fought undaunted to the
bitter end. We presumed, upon see-
ing Mr. Lattimore, surrounded by
beautiful women, throwing the ball
from his sedentary position on the
floor, that some grads at least had
their revenge.

The Broughtons’ cocker pup ap-
parently succumbed to the noise
and excitement during the last
quarter and had to be removed,
howling, to the wide open spaces.
The players apparently suffered no

Barnard Conference for
Outing Clubs

Last week-end Rusty Lund and
Sally Worthington, ’49, attended a
conference concerning plans, prob-
lems and publicity for outing clubs.
The meeting was held at the Bar-
nard Camp in Ossining, New York,

tives of ten women’s colleges: In
addition to discussing the function
of outing clubs, the girls spent
their time cooking over a fire,
washing out water pails and coast-
ing. “Cold,” they say, “was the
keynote!”
Sunday Ski Trip
At 8 o’clock Sunday morning
eight Bryn Mawrtyrs set out for
the Poconos, where they spent the
day skiing at Split Rock Lodge.
Miss Clayton added that next Sat-
urday:
“Weather forecast snow
If so... we'll go
To Pocono!”
Basketball

In a game versus Beaver, played
at Bryn Mawr, the first team lost,
30-11, and the second team, 34-24.

and was attended by representa-.



such coffee nerves and as the game
ended we heard this touching dia-
logue between two faculty players:
“Sorry.” “Oh, that’s all right!”

scholar, and Marie Solmi, a well-
known professor of Art. -Instead
of seeing slides in their art class-
es, the group visits galleries and
museums to see the actual works
of art; and they have had “the ex-
traordinary opportunity to see the
doors of the Baptistry, those of
Ghiberti which Michelangelo call-
ed the doors of Paradise, and those
of Pisano, They were taken down
during the war and hidden; now.
they are in the still unopened Uf-
fizi. They were carefully cleaned
of the dirt of the centuries and
were found to be gilded and incred-
ibly beautiful. In addition to
this they see the plays that they
read in class, and attend the op-
eras, ballets, and concerts that are
presented in Florence.

In Florence the girls have had
their shoes made to order; there
seems to be a contest as to who
can have the most individual pair,
for the Florentines are known as
great designers of shoes. Going to
tea at the professors’ studies is a
favorite pastime for they discuss
everything from pbobby-pins to
Communism. As a_ concluding
thought, the girls write “we really
feel at home in this country, and
at times it is a jar when people call
us foreigners.”

Father Coleman

To Lead Chapel

On Sunday, February 22nd, the
Reverend Michael E,. Coleman, Can-
on Missioner of British Columbia,
Victoria, B. C., will be the chapel
speaker. His topic is as yet un-
announced.

Father Coleman is well-known to
most students at Bryn Mawr. He
spoke last year at the Deanery and
was also here the year before. This
is the first time that he will con-
duct a chapel service, since former-
ly he was able to come only during
the week.

Father Coleman was the minister
of All Hallow’s Church in London
before the blitz, going to Canada
after its bombing. During the sum-
mer he runs a camp for both chil-
dren and adults.

wear gowns; the chorus wears caps
and gowns and sits on the left-

the assembly which begins each se-

and remain standing through the
ginging of the hymn. They then
sit for the Scripture reading and
prayer. Assemblies other than
these will not include a Scripture
reading and prayer except under
unusual circumstances.
