Buckets Fill Pool,





Allay Comp. Fever

“Fire! Fire!”
A long chain of laboring figures
chanted as they swung the buckets
from one to another. Intermittant
' shrieks arose as pails banged and
sloshed over others’ legs in the
-dark or two eager bucket heavers
crossed paths too closely. 3
“What’s wrong?” called irate
and wondering people studying for
comps and’ exams.

In through the side
doors, up the sacred library stairs
already awash with water the
bucket brigade stretched, through

the hall (no librarian present) and
out into the once peaceful quiet of
the cloisters—quiet no mode, but
filled with shrieking and running
figures all centering around that
murky catacombe of ‘Katherine
Hepburn and senior fame; the
Library Pool.

Some un-tradition soaked wretch
had neglected *to fill the pool for
the senior’s once a year oblation,
at the time when:the soul and body.
must be pure and catharized: be-

And So Goodbye

“Time present and time past ... are both perhaps pres-
ent in time future . . . And time future contained in ti
past.” There are end points, really harrow bridges, ‘aye
flow of time—like Commencement which marks the comple-
tion of undergraduate days. And, as with any major event,
this is a time for memories. Remember the night during
comps when you. threatened to get soused with members of
the department as soon as exams were over—so you could
tell them what you really thought of them .. . Class day with
jet-propelled hats and Suzy Habashy providing “authentic”
Egyptian scenery .. . “How’d you do kind sir?” and the oth-

‘er show songs... “New Englagd” . .. and of course “Wambi
the Jungle Boy.”

Think of the working nights . .. sink coffee and potted
ham (P.H. to you) or cheese and triscuits . . . sleeping in
shifts so you’d be awake just enough .. . announcements at
breakfast, “Who’s going to the library.”

Remember dashing around to get speakers or to just get
to the meeting . .. or calmly sitting around studying or knit-

- ting ... How many hands at bridge? . . . or was it pounce.

It’s over now . . . and people on both sides of the bridge

will muse for a while and then concentrate on time present.

Baseball Classic Gains

Many Smashing Hits in a Sports Orgy’

Three o’clock on May 16, found
an anxious group of students and
faculty members gathered on Den-
bigh Green, forgetting all pending
exams by watching and participat-
ing in the annual student-faculty
softball game. Captained by Mr.
Dudden and Mr, Schneider the two
teams were formed from profes-
sorial and “student” ranks.

The echo of “Take me out to the
ballgame” could be heard in the
air—in case of. accident the figure
of “nurse” Anita Kaplan could he
seen in the first row of the “bleach-
ers.”- Only the familiar cry of. the
peanut vendor was missing from
the scene.

‘ Eight innings of exciting ball
were played. Mr. Schneider, reliev-
ed by Mr. Berry in the fifth, pitch-
ed for team B,-while Mr. Brown
pitched all the way for Mr. Dud-
den’s team A, A recap of the game
showed Mr..Dudden’s. team taking
an early lead in the first inning
(on a homét by the Captain him-
self) which was never relinquished.

In the second inning Mr. Brown
homered for team A with Junior
Mary Vorys on and in the third in-
ning a triple by Barbara Borne-

To The Editor

Reader Amends NEWS’
“Twelfth Night”
Review

To the Editor of the NEWS:

I believe that the review in the
last issue of the NEWS of the
production of “Twelfth Night” by
the Bryn Mawr College Theatre
and the ‘Haverford Drama Club
was quite insufficient, Any review



"| of. a production which considers

only the acting cannot be consid-
ered complete; this criticism has
been made of other reviews in the

e NEWS, but has apparently had no

effect on the policy of the NEWS
staff.

Many factors affect the success
of any play: the directing, the
quality of the acting, the design
and construction of the set, the
character of the make-up, the
lighting design, the costumes, the
properties, and so forth. Since peo-
ple do not have a great amount
of time to spend on the College
Theatre plays the success of each
production depends primarily on
the cooperation of a large number
of people who work on all phases
of the production.

For the benefit of those imter-
ested I wish to say that “Twelfth
Night” was directed by Mr. Mar-
vin Stephens, who was assisted.by
John Schott; the set was designed

by Mrs. Marvin Stephens. Although
parts of the set—such as the dutch-

‘man—were not done as well as

they should have been done, the
set was firmly constructed, due to
the great efforts of Don Stover
and Bob Masterson and their crew.
The lighting was designed by
Frank Evans and was poor. The
play was certainly hard to light
due._to the number of scenes, but
there is never any excuse for hav-
ing the stage too dark for the
audience to see the actors. Besides
this, the stage when lit was lit

“lunevenly; a review of the first

principles of stage lighting would|-
have been advisable before under-
taking this job. Properties. were
done quite adequately by John
Cope, and the costumes used were
-|from the Hedgerow Theatre.

I hope that in the future the re-
views published in the NEWS will
! r all phases of both College












mann (President of the Athletic
Association by the way), singles

by Mary Jane Chubbuck and Ann

Teitler, climaxed by Mr. Berthoff’s
home run contributed to a nine run
inning and caused the. score to
stand 14-0 in favor of Team A.

A newly recruited member of
team B, Miss Yeager, an instructor
of Physical Education, came to bat
and sparked the attack of team B
by scoring the first run. From then
on the game was. a-free scoring
affair on both sides. For Mr. Dud-
den’s team Leslie Kaplan and a ‘re-
cruited date of a “Bryn Mawrtyr”
homered for team B, Captain
Schneider, Lee Reynolds and Mr.
Berry.

Hi-points of the game occurred
when Mrs. Sprague came in to
catch for team A and when, as per
usual, Denbigh suffered a broken
window a( home-run by Mr. Adams
for team B). Mr. Berry’s son play-
ed,in the outfield for the entire
game and Mr. Brown’s son acted
as bat-boy.

The final score computed by this
reporter showed that team A had
won, 30-17. After the strenuous
exercise both performers and ob-
servers retreated to Denbigh’s
showcase where refreshments Were
served.

Dalton

Dreased in the manner of her, de- é

_eadent Gothic play, Gwen Davis
perched on the window sill of a
Dalton window and dripped epiph-
anies,. as she presented her orig-
inal comedy, “Come Back Little
Local or the “Death of a Lantern
Man.” ,

This play takes place in a Gothic
ruin somewhere in Pennsylvania——
~ once a magnificent place, before
“things got-in it.” As the curtain
rises it is dusk—it is always dusk,
because there are no light bulbs.
. The scenes in this play change
rapidly, to keep up the momentum
and incidentally the epiphanies..-
The main plot is confusing, but
somewhere.along the line we have
Blemish and her sister Baby Honey
and. Blemish’s husband, who wears
a torn Haverford sweater. We also
have the hall manager, looking for
hoarded sheets. The scene, unlike
the sheets, changes. The lantern
man is really Doc, and he is mar-
ried to Lola, and their dog Sheba
turns out to be, in reality, the
baby.

There is also a moral somewhere

John Carr Retires
From Delivery Job

John Carr, who many students
will remember for his delivery of



food from the store to the different}

halls, will be retiring this sum-
mer. After having worked at
Bryn Mawr College for 34 years,
he is leaving for Ireland.

Mr. Carr came over from his na-
tive country around 1900, and this
summer will mark his rfist return.
Leaving around the first of June,
he will visit relatives in Ireland
and return to the States in the
middle of October.

Best Wishes
to the

Graduates |
F. W. Meckeonth. Co.



| far those who have need of one:
“You can’t be a grad student for-
ver.”

Library
An African Safari starring sen-
iors Molly Holden, Suzy Habashy
and Mary Jones entertained a large
crowd of spectators in front of the
library on May 14, in traditional
class day ceremonies.

Mary Jones and Molly Holden
co-starred as two typical- ‘Bryn
Mawr graduates—the first inter-
ested in anthropological specimens
and the second, who had won the
hoop rolling contest down senior
row in 1925, still looking for the
'man who was her Bryn Mawr
ilegacy. Suzy MHabashy provided
the comic element by running
across the stage (pavement in front



of the library) with various scen-

ery changes. Especially hilarious
‘were her roles as the Nile, when
she inched along the walk on all
fours and as a:sheik.

After much plodding, the dis-
heveled, khaki-clad anthropologist
and man-hunting graduate who
looked more like a trollop, reach
their goal, the all-wise sphinx and
asks Miss Bryn Mawr of ’25 the
sixty-four dollar question, “Why
isn’t she married when she won
the rightly renowned hoop race?”

The climax to the skit and to
the days activities rendered many
laughs-from-the-crowd, “You-were
Holden. it wrong.”

Dinner And Party
Honor Mr. Stokes

A dinner and. gathering were
held on Thusday, May 22, for Mr.
Francis Stokes in special apprecia-
tion of the work which he has
done as Chairman of the Building}.
and Grounds Committee.

Mr. Stokes retired from _ this
position, which he had help since
1936, at the Board of Trustees
meeting in December. His chair-
manship coincided. with,what has
been called “the second stage in
building” at Bryn Mawr. This
stage includes the building of the



| West Wimg of the Library, Rhoads

Hall and Park Hall.
Mr. Stokes has also. supervised
the College’s acquisitions, during

|the 1940’s, of the Graduate Center,

West House and East House.

Chestnut Hill Wins
Last Softball Game

On Thursday; May 13, the Bryn
Mawr softball varsity dropped its
third and final game of the season,
against Chestnut Hill, 7-2.

Bryn Mawr failed to score a
single run until the top of the
seventh inning, when pinch-hitters
Lois LaBelle and Norma Sedge-
wick came through for hits, while
Helen Hagopian batted in a run
with another clout. Miss Price also
commented particularly. upon Ali-



“| son Cragin’s “superb job” of pitch-

ing. ud

The line-up . against ’ Chestnut
Hill was as follows: SS, Simon; 2B
‘Hall; 1B, Alderson; P, Cragin; LF,
Bull; C, Vollmer;~ CF, Booth,
(Sedgewick, LaBelle); 3B, Mil-
bank; SF, Hagopian; RF, Getty.





Gym

Bryn Mawr graduates are fated
for neither the ordinary nor ac-
cepted walks of life. This was il-
lustrated in the Class Day skit in
front of the gym where three al-
umnae meet.at their twenty-fifth
reunion and reveal the start of
their careers.

Ann Phipps, with long blonde
braids and black mesh stockings,
had gone to France ... . where a
gentleman asked “whose little-souri
are you?” She replied that she

Martian Students, Bea Merrick

their one year stay at Bryn Mawr.

To prove they were popular in
spite of their green faces they
brought out their May Day Pres-
ents, a dogfish in a bottle, a pul-
ley (with rope) and a Sunday Suit
(feathered banner).

The most*important thing they’d
learned was the DeFarge system
for taking notes. (You leave holes
for listening courses). At the end
of four years your knitting is drap-
ed over a professor and if it
doesn’t cover him... but that
didn’t happen to anyone this year.

BMC Season Ends
For Lacrosse Team

-BMC’s final lacrosse game of the
season, against Penn, fell to the
University team, 4-3, .Thursday,
May 13: All Bryn Mawr’s goals
were scored in the first half, Gail
Disney, Diana Scott, and Elizabeth
Thomas each driving a shot home.

Miss Yeager commented on the
excellent playing of the defense,

which functioned effectively and|.
with unity, despite the absence of |

veterans Sally Kennedy and Phoebe
Albert. “

time in her life, and Joan White,

class, were both excellent in their

On May 30, in connection with
the regular Bryn Mawr May Day
festivities, “A Pleasant Conceited
Comedy of George-a-Greene, The
Pinner of Wakefield,” was held. A

tations, the play brought laughs to
its modern audience. The lines
which were funny to earlier listen-
ers were appropriate for our times.

The setting, at the back of Good-
hart Hall, was singularly appropri-
ate forthe play..The plot-was_com-
posed of various elements, includ-
ing the Robin Hood story of the in-
cognito appearance of the King of
England. The serious parts of the
King, Charlotte Busse; Warwick,
Catherine Rodgers; Kendall, Jean
MacIntyre ;George-a-Greene, Chris
Fischer; Bettris, Jessica Dragon-
ette; Maid Marian, Patricia Mo-
ran; Woodroffe, Joyce Cushmore;
and Robin Hood, Ann Nicholson
were very well played.

The clown, played-by Adele Mac-
Veagh, was the most amusing
character.__Other--humorous—parts,
were Wily, Virginia Mee, and
Grime, Lyte Mitchell. Other act-
ors in the play were Barbara
Floyd, Betsy Levin, Marcia Gold-
stone, Adrienne Schreiber, and
Barbara Goldberg.

-Having decided that the inch-
worm problem was getting out of

Bernheimer, decided that some-
thing had to be done about ¥ With
the wise assumption that the Col-
lege probably didn’t have enough
money to go spraying it on cater-
pillars, an appeal was brought be-
fore Pembrokes East and West.

The tneory was that caterpillars
are bad enough one-year, but if
they return for three or four con-
secutive seasons they might kill
the trees. With the firm support
of both Halls, Morgy offered ja
pledge of money to the college for
the spraying of the caterpillars.
Unfortunately the college is to
short of money to be able to acce

logic being that if the money
accepted it may seem as if it we
