Emily, done by Martha Gross, ’47,
had a little more variety of ex-
pression, but somehow . seemed
thoroughly unreal, perhaps _be-
cause at times it was so overplay-
ed as to seem farcical. Both these
roles, however, were more than
adequately done, ending the play
on the proper note. John Stone
of Haverford, and Katherine
Southerland, ’48, in the respective
roles of Albert and Lucy, did not



have the ability necessary to sus-}

tain their frequent scénes alone

together.

The play as a. whole did not
achieve the audience success au-
gured for it by the individual act-
ing, the setting, or indeed the in-
trinsic worth of the play _ itself,
largely because the mood of the
evening was not one receptive to
a horror play. It did not achieve
its possible critical success because
of the unimaginative directing
which so often bogged it down,
‘leaving the stage empty for a to-
tal of eight times during the even-
ing, and completely omitting to
set the pace and mood which it is
not the actors’ entire job to pro-

organization; but rather, it is bas-
ed on spiritual and religious aid.
From their work during and after
the last war, Friends’ Centers have
grown up in Paris, Berlin, Geneva,
Vienna, and other European cities.

Since Nazi oppression began in
1930, the Friends have been active
in relief work and have been help-
ing refugees in Lisbon, Vienna,
‘Spain, North Africa, Greece (aid-
ing U. N. R. R. A.), Italy, China,
and India. _

‘Mrs. Blaisdell had permission td
speak only on the F. E. ‘A. This
particular field during the war has
to do with things rather than peo-
ple. Their particular problem is
what material to give men and
where to find it.._There were three
jobs handed over to the F. E. A.:
(1) The most important and essen-
tial was that of Lend-Leafe to the
Allies; (2) The minimum supply
of goods to neutral countries; and
(3) Keeping the enemy from get-
ting essential materials from the
neutrals.

Mrs. Blaisdell said“ that there
would be need for a large staff, of
trained personnel to carry out the
participation of the U. S. (through
F. E. A.) in the operations of the
United Nations Relief and Reha-
bilitation Administration,

“ROGER & GALLET:

3-3 In Hockey Match



Swarthmore, December 2. The
final hockey match -of the season
ended in a 3-3 tie between Bryn
Mawr and Swarthmore, a repeti-
tion of last year’s score. A tem-
perature in the twenties, afield as
hard as rock and white with frost,
and a lack of practice due to two
weeks of rain were not conducive
to a brilliant game, particularly as
far as the Owls were concerned.

At the end of the first half the
score stood 2-1 in favor of Bryn
Mawr, after Lydge Gifford ’45, and
Mimi Fostér 47, had tallied for
the Owls.’ In the second half,
however, ‘the maroon forward line.
played a powerful offensive game,
resulting in ‘some furious scrim-
mages in front of the Bryn Mawr
goal. After one such scrimmage,

score.

A penalty bully was, called when
the Bryn Mawr goalie, Darst Hyatt
47, caught the ball between her
knees and refused to let go. Forced
to bully with the opposing center
forward five yards in front of the
goal, Darst cleared and the score
remained a tie.

In the last five minutes Swarth-
more scored again, but the yellow
team made a magnificent comeback
when Lydge Gifford shot the ball
into the Swarthmore goal in the
last few seconds before the whistle
blew.
