THE COLLEGE NEWS _
Friday, March 10, 1967 | q
by Marcia Ringel
The most remarkable thing
about Haverford Class Night is
its distinctively masculine flavor.
Pungent wine and rancid, sweet
cream and sour, somehow
it usually remains intense enough
to excite our appetites and as
a whole to satisfy them.
Freshman Weekend dates en-
sconced last Friday evening
in Roberts Hall were treated to
such a display of audience energy
as is rare at even a spectator-
sport college like Haverford. Im-
passioned Fords threw kisses,
hisses, and a myriad of paper
_airplanes_at. the several casts;
whose job was to render scripts
of varying value, the least valuable
being the sophomores’ un-
imaginative ‘‘Intermissions,’”’ an
adaptation from Lewis Carroll
with an unimpressive Alice. Sadly,
no one was. quite mad enough--
not even quite so mad as most
of the characters in the other
three plays.
The freshman onterhn, **Funny,
You Don’t Look Jewish, Gross-
man !”? provided, in the tradition
of Haverford freshman offerings,

a dean scene, wombat combat,
and a poignant Barclay room. A
‘‘Bratman” story, it was lent
sweetness and light by Alexis
Swan. (Boy Faggot), who won. the
Best Actress award--an interest-
ing development since last
year, when Cile Yow (Bryn Mawr
*67) was voted Best Actor. (Judges
are an unpublicized panel of pro-
fessors.)
“Howdy: A Warm Welcome’’
dealt subtly and cleverly in sym-
bols to tell’ what the juniors
‘think of Haverford’s expansion
program. Buffalo Bob(Dean Lyons)
plans to take over the Howdy Doody
Show by overcrowding the Peanut
Gallery (dorms), making a droll
Chief Thunderthud. his Provost, _
and so on. Having destroyed show
and showmen, BB warns us
that we alone are left to challenge
his authority and have 36 hours
to leave (expulsion), He is
carried stiffly away.as he was
carried on, a puppet like the rest.
Foggy and the Mouseketeers were
miraculous, and Dennis Lanson
won Best Actor as Howdy.
‘*Gullible’s Trips, or Super-
market Sell-Out’’ won the
Class of 67 the coveted Best Play
award for the second year ina row,
“a feat never before accomplished
in the history of Haverford
College,’’ according to the playbill..
Fairy Modmother, attractively
garbed and unattractively over-
acting, shows Jimmy _ that
**you can’t escape the system’? as
he had hoped in the beginning of
his Haverford career--a sober-
ing enough thought, considering
that these authors and actors are

soon to be systematized. Alice
Leib’s terrifying LSD chor-
eography won a_ special com-
mendation from the judges
and a deserved ovation from the
audience, since it was easily the
most professional part of the even-
ing. A huge Michelangelo set
(decals?) was truly magnificent.
As usual, two. plays were
fair, two were fine. The three that
focused on college life were best.
Why were they increasingly pessi-
mistic and depressing? And
convincing?
All four choréographers for
Class Night were Bryn Mawr
girls of the appropriate classes.
Girls were featured prominently
. in all ‘but the freshman play. Yet
that masculine touch mercifully
survived. Even the faculty skit
_ (whose point totally escaped me),
including only one woman, bore the
air of an all-male classroom.
If some ofthe undergraduates’
lines bore the air of an all-male
restroom, what of it? They love
it, it’s their tradition; and if poor
Dean Lyons can take it, anyone can,
