!H)e JBeat fcatb gdjemeg AS soon as we got to Bryn Mawr the powers immediately recognized our latent his- trionic ability and went and had a May Day. So it wasn ' t till Sophomore year that we had an opportunity to show what we could do for ourselves. Here let Mice and Men go down to history. In those days of inexperience we thought our little senti- mental comedy a cause for triumph. And after all, why not? Wasn ' t Lucia perfection to the last degree? And we did succeed in launching Monic on her career of dissipation. As for the orphans, Miss Donnelley herself breathlessly confessed she had no idea Bryn Mawr gi rls could look so unintelligent. (Can ' t every one agree that it was Emmy ' s experience as the young epileptic that gave the Poet of Senior year those eloquent legs?) Of course Jenks had to inhale her talcum powder pipe in the middle of the first act and choke till I thought she ' d never reach the audible stage again. Things tended to gang aglay more than once, but who can forget the graciousness with which our nearly voice- less and quite mute Con bowed to the applause that greeted her after Mary ' s lovely render- ing of My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose. As I look back upon it now Mice and Men, inadequately played andj in parts strangely cast, still brings to me a warm glow. When Mark Embry poured forth his manly soul in that heartrending sob, Child, Child, how could you? some one on the front row wept. I saw her! Could one ask more? Helen Marie Harris. —27—

Cfjc ©omtnant J)otc WHILE the rest of the college is busily preparing to aid the country, we in Denbigh may look upon their efforts with a confident smile. True believers in fact and not in theory, we have been constantly engaged in open warfare. ' Twas ever thus — guerilla warfare had its genesis even in Denbigh. The only time we of 1917 were out of it was occasionally in Freshman year when Liz and Constance had solemnly confiscated all available crockery and tinware for their famous tea-fights, and for once the defeated Den- bighites were reduced to hungry non-combatants. But shortly after follows the Mystery of the Stolen Bulbs, and then, verily, was every man ' s hand against his brother. The contagion spread and Mary Morgan had to spend all her spare time tracking Peg over the most intricate trails that resourceful girl could make. In the momentary lapses, that sad bird, the Denbigh Dove of Peace, was beguiled on Snappy Stories. If nothing else served we could try harassing Milly and Monic, but the reaction was never up to the standard. But we could always draw blood from Ad and Les, especially the latter, until she took to the disguise motif and got a black dress, too. However, our final recourse was ever that greatest of indoor sports, watching Bontie ' s Adventures in Shadow Land. Dot Packard and Moll and Olive could fit themselves into a perfect pyramid and leave space enough for Peg and the others in that small room. This trans- Alpine warfare wasn ' t entirely one-sided. It went on lustily till someone sent That Telegram. After that Bontie relapsed into a state of coma. But there ' s no mistaking our dominant note. Denbigh, 1917. -28—
