Object: To ascertain reactions to environment. Predicate: ' ! Apparatus: 1 fertile campus, rain, sun, wind, etc. Assorted superior beings. Method: The 118 undeveloped organisms were suddenly submerged into a warm bath, perpendicularly projected from above in the form of Aqua Pluviosa. While immersed therein they exhibited great activity, moving with rapidity J HM i from clot to clot of indigestible activity. 1 For a considerable period of time, submerged, as they were, in a solution of insoluble problems, they were observed to be in a perpetual state of chaotic confusion. Gradually contacts were made, currents set up, relations formed. The first outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual grace 2 were observed at 1-23-26, the moon being then at half quarter. At this period a bluish cocoon-like growth appeared on the 1 18 U. O. ' s, developing throughout a period of months until there emerged the first Independent Idea. The 118 U. O. ' s were seen to oscillate rhythmically, while some, in unprotoplasmic fashion, emitted shrill cries. The result of this interesting genetic process was a curious bodyless blue feline. After this first convulsion, the 1 18 U. O. ' s were seen to relapse into their former inactive plasmic state. Conclusions: Despite the inactive close of the experiment period it was felt that the 118 Undeveloped Organisms had potentialities toward differentiation and integration. After eight months in the environment they appeared perhaps more homogeneous, and slightly less undeveloped. 1 Freshmen are required to attend . Westminster Shorter Catechism. 15 Dialogue Between Two Paramoesia The scene is laid in the middle-western part of a hay-infusion and, more specifically, on the campus of Trichocyst University. The campus is deserted except for paramoesia X and Y, who are swimming in a slow spiral, close together. Both are noted professors. Dr. X.: I dreamed last night of heaven. Dr. Y. : My dear fellow, you ate too much at the faculty meeting last night. And yoj know coffee is bad for you. Dr. X. (abstractedly, as if his mind were on infinity): It was beautiful . . . pale amber . . . concocted of ambrosial hay . . . Dr. Y.: Ass! Dr. X. : And there was music. . . . Dr. Y.: You are a fool. Heaven is not a glorified hay infusion, it is a state of being. That is, if there is a heaven. Dr. X: Y, how can you doubt? You ' re mad to doubt. Don ' t you believe in God? Dr. Y: Well . not in one with long white cilia, anyway. (X laughs shortly. He is sorry jor Y, but annoyed at the same time. He is a fundamentalist, and believes in the special creation of paramoesia. He is, there- fore, a little worried about Y.) Dr. X: My dear Y, you talk like a modernist, — even (he lauqhs deprecattnaly) an — an evolutionist. Dr. Y (with a sudden defiance, as of one who has just decided to cross the Rubicon) Well, what of it? Why shouldn ' t I be an evolutionist? Dr. X (horrified): You don ' t believe . . . we come from . . . amoebae? Dr. Y (fiercely): Yes! Dr. X (perfectly aghast): My dear X! The faculty . . . Dr. Y: I ' m sick of hypocrisy! I don ' t believe God is a protozoan! I don ' t believe heaven is an amber hay infusion, well stocked with fat bacteria for our benefit! And you can tell all Trichocyst University if you want to Dr. X (horrified by his vehemence and apostasy): The University can t afford to keep atheists. You ' ll have to go. And j ' ou ' ll find it ' s pretty hard for an atheist professor to get a job. Decent people won ' t trust their children to him. (7 is just at this point thai malignant fate, functioning through Dr. Shrader, thrusts a pipette into the infusion. The rebellious Y happens to be directly in its path, and is drawn up into its maw preparatory to a cruel death. X stands petrified with horror and wonder.) Dr. X (awestricken): I have seen the judgment of God! God be merciful unto me, a miserable sinner. 14 Oh to be in college Now thai guizz time ' s there, And whoever stays at college Jf akes, some morning, unaware That in Dalton ' s labs and Taylor hall On every desk lies a quiz book small, And a proj hides a grin with a furrowed brow In college — now! 15 Sister — Be Saved V TIIK air quivered tensely. The fierce light of the great hall heat down unpity- ingly on each face and showed it taut and haggard. From the hack of the room came a faint moaning. Everywhere eyes were glazed, breathing labored. One prostrate figure was carried out screaming hoarsely. Concentrating all the fevered attention of the crowd was one small haranguing figure, — small hut compact, vibrating with passionate enthusiasm. Come up, come up! The foundations of Heaven are being laid, but you poor sinners must help. Remember those who have gone before. Would you betray their trust? Would you be false to those who have given their lives that this cause might be furthered? Oh my sisters, my children, this is the way, the way of the truth, the way of the right. Will you not follow? Will you break my heart with your selfishness? I can see the Hell fires licking up higher and higher, eager to get at you. Satan down there too is heaping up the coals . . . Satan, you can t have my girls. I know they ' ll be saved. Get down there, you fellow, where you belong. I ' ll keep them from you . . . Children, sisters, I can ' t fight this battle all by myself. Won ' t you help? Won ' t you help? A breathless pause. The listeners swayed to the throbbing rhythm of the plea. Suddenly from the silence, a sob. A slim, tortured figure staggered up the aisle. I ' ll be saved. I ' ll be saved. I see the light. Put me down for $50.00. May the Lord receive me in his bosom. The spell was broken. Eager faces soaked with tears pressed forward. Hands stretched out to grasp with trembling fingers the pen to sign themselves away. They had not betrayed the generation that had gone before. They had seen the light. The sturdy, golden-haired evan- gelist, eyes glittering triumphantly, chest heaving, smiled wearily and sank into a chair. Satan shrank back to the remotest and hottest corner of the gymnasium basement. Thank God, American youth was not irretrievable. Bryn Mawr girlhood was still a brave pure thing. Goodhart would rise! 17 Variations on A Folk Theme (THE SLEEPING BEAUTY WAKES AGAIN) As The Lantern Might Have It STAGIRIA Ah, sweet was that deep long sleep In the cool reaches of my overgrown forest, — Sweet with the sweetness of soft drugging poppy. Velvet nothingness wrapped me round Like the sombre folds of some Hamlet ' s cloak. Sleep without dreams, Without talk, Without gritting of teeth; Sleep that was peace; Sleep that was Heaven. Yet I am woman, — For even a Princess is woman, — And to the call of the kiss of my Prince. Up I came, up from my deep well of slumber, From the cool, untroubled blackness To stand on the brink of life. Blinded by the hot brilliance and the radiant glare From The Publicity Office BUT darling, I really don ' t know anything about it. That is, officially. I ;ust know what I ' ve heard through rumors. And really I can ' t have anything to do with it. It ' s all up to the Undergraduates. If they want a Sleeping Beauty, I say let them have it. Only, I won ' t sign any bills, without being absolutely sure where the money is coming from. If the prince went broke, or didn ' t succeed I ' d have to pay it all out of my own pocket. Make sure of your prince, I warn you, there ' s no use taking any chances. Have him thoroughly investigated, because if it were a success, it would be just the loveliest thing I can imagine, so it won ' t pay to take any chances. I think a forest is the nicest, of course, out of doors you know. But if it rains we can use Goodhart. You ' ve no idea what a comfort it is to know that, — but it won ' t rain, it can ' t rain. It doesn ' t matter in the least to me who the princess is. I think they are all very pretty, but I don ' t care what she looks like, provided she doesn ' t mind having her picture taken. We had a May Queen once, who absolutely refused to have her picture taken, and I can ' t tell you how difficult it was. Really, from the artistic standpoint this Sleeping Beauty thing ought to be perfectly en hanting. But I must say, I do hope the Undergraduates have the prince investigated. I don ' t want to be handed a deficit at the end of it. And oh, darling, you ' re going to Radnor aren ' t you? I wonder if you could take these cards down? 18 PRINCE TELLS OF The College News ' long ago, searching for n castle l disenchant. The preparation was difficult, as ii requin al least four years ' graduate work, BEAUTY ROUSING At ' as1, by luc]i ' ' ,l the castIe ' hc said, l iit even then it was not easy my path Entered Briar- Walled Castle and was, so to speak, beset with thorns! Woke Princess With a Kiss His difficulties in penetrating the forest were at last crowned with success and recognition. HARDSHIPS OVERCOME After he had kissed the princesSj ; ,n was vc ., v It will be hard work, said the prince, speak- simple, ing in chapel Wednesday, April 51st. As a J cannot, however, stress too much the career, it holds very little promise of advance- inadvisability of such a career for women. Very ment, as the number of sleeping beauties is f ew of the first-class training schools are coedu- limited. cational, and even after you get the training, The prince then told something of his own it is too hard a life for a woman. Besides, few struggle to reach his present position. He began Beauties will have women as disenchanters. As Self-Government Might Get It As far as I can gather, this is the story. It seems these two girls were walk- ing last Sunday afternoon about five, along the road that follows the stream at the foot of Gulf Road, — you know along by the cemetery. There were just the two of them but it wasn ' t quite dark so that ' s all right. They saw some friends of theirs coming up the road, so they thought, in a silly moment, that they ' d slip into the woods and hide, — and this is where the fun comes in. In the woods there, what do you suppose they saw, — a beautiful blonde all dressed up in a masquer- ade costume, sound asleep on the ground! Imagine! They said she looked posi- tively abandoned lying around the woods that way. Well, they were going to wake her up when they heard somebody coming, so thej ' hid behind a tree to see what else might happen. A man came along, good-looking they said, all dressed up in funny clothes too, sort of peering around in a lost kind of way until he saw her. Then his face lit up and without any more ado he just leaned over and kissed her! The girls were simply overcome, but they were awfully courageous, I think, and stepped right out and told her to report herself immediately. But she just looked them up and down in a cold sort of way and said, ' I am accustomed to do exactly as I please. Will you kindly withdraw or I ' ll call the King and Queen, my father and mother. ' But they said right back to her, ' Oh, but your father and mother died years ago. There are no more autocrats. Don ' t you know that eve ything is run now by the free intercourse of young minds in our new sj ' stem of Self-Government? ' ' Self Government, ' she cried, ' you have to make your own rules as well as break them? Oh Prince, why did you waken me? Do I look like the sort of person who could remember to come in at ten-thirty? Put me back to sleep, put me back to sleep. ' He just stood around looking embarrassed in his Van Horn costume and the girls didn ' t know what else to do, so they came and told me. Now how do you deal with a case like this? 19 Zeus in Otricoli NE might perhaps consider that after throne and state Olympian, A life upon a pedestal would seem a very simple one, Still although condemned forever to contemplate my wife, I find, excepting holidays, it ' s an interesting life. And although my lady Juno hears all the college dirt. There ' s plenty down at my end to keep my mind alert. What can this fearful racket be that ' s just above my head, It must be Miss Macdonald just bouncing out of bed. And this terrific titillation that I find so very jarring. It must be Barbara Gaviller at work at Registraring. And as for all this scurrying, to the best of my belief. It ' s only everybody looking for the President ' s handkerchief. And sometimes I hear a frenzy as of a fiend accurst, Which is merely all the unpaid bills enraging Sandy Hurst, I find it most affecting, and I try to be consoling, For I sympathize when I perceive a comptroller comptrolling. But most of all I tremble at the fearful eccentricity With which our Mrs. Caroline conducts her great publicity. Yet though I pass my days among the collegiate authorities, I find I am neglected by the undergraduate majorities: Juno, since I love you with a passion ceremonial, Although we ' ve had in times gone by some squabbles matrimonial, I pray you, Lady, share with me your priestesses devout, That I too may be worshipped, and be circled roundabout With forms of lovely maidens, who once in every hour Will sing and dance about me in adoration of my power. 20 Captain — F.

DE EVOLUTIONE BRYNMAWRENSIS Experiment No. MCMXXVIII, B Subject: The same organisms, at the crustacean stage. Object: See Experiment, MCMXXVIII, A. Appa.rai.us: ibid, with addition of a few inferior beings. Method: Again placed in the environment, after a period of partial independence, the crustaceans, crabs, lobsters, oysters and the like, were seen to be depleted in numbers as a result of the annual dumbellectomy ' performed in unmerited fashion during the summer solstice. The reaction of the remainder to the inferior beings was noticeable; they exhibited marked signs of inflation 2 and they pursued these beings with extraordinary persistence. However, they soon became so absorbed in their own activities that they ceased to pay any atten- tion to these creatures. Being crustaceans, they seemed to consider themselves impervious to all external attacks. Under the influence of the envi- ronment, certain of them were seen to reach out in various directions. Some, the lobsters, had become more complicated organisms than the bivalves, or even the crabs. Distinctions were made. Certain of the most highly developed were noticed by the superior beings, and raised to positions of importance. All showed a more intelligent interest in the activities by which they were surrounded. The sidling gait of sophomoric superiority was characteristic. Conclusions: The crustacean stage, while not so charming as the earlier simple protoplasm, yet shows reactions of more value and interest. It is felt that certain of the crustaceans will develop to a much higher degree, and as a group all they need is time. 1 cf. Appendectomy , tonsilectomy . 2 As all students of Economics (H. C. J. or M. P. S., 5 hrs., H) will recognize, a period of infla- tion is invariably followed by a period of depression. 29 You are old, Mrs. Manning, the sophomore sighed, And your figure is slightly obese; Yet you manage a husband, and subjects allied. Pray, when do you get any peace? In my youth, Mrs. Manning replied to the bud, When I lived in the White House, D. C, Executive force was as common as mud, And some was apportioned to me. You are old, Mrs. Manning, the sophomore observed, You never use lipstick nor paint; And yet, for your age you are nicely preserved, Will you tell me what makes you so quaint? When I was your age, Mrs. Manning confessed, I went to bed nightly at ten, And the beauty I got from my pre-midnight rest Has lasted me ever since then. You are old, Mrs. Manning, and endless parades Of students come into your sight; Yet you know all our faces, our health and our grades, What makes you so awfully bright? In my youth, Mrs. Manning replied with a grin, My brain, — I took pains to apply it In making the facts that I studied sink in; And may I suggest that you try it? MYOPIC MINUTES For those Members of the Class of 1928 who were suffi- ciently short-sighted to see the need for another organization in college, the Oh Say Can You See Club, conceived and dedicated that Myopia should not perish from the Campus The aims of thh Club shall be progressive. We want no stationary membership. Every year the number of the campus near-sighted should be doubled. The College and the Power House are doing their best. The rest remains with us. Re- member, the only qualifications for membership are inability to recognize your man at twenty paces, and a desire to serve, how- ever blindly. From the Writings of the Founder. Club Anthem: Me and My Opt a Short-sighted Old Lad — You ought to be ashamed of yourself — throwing snowballs at your age. — Punch. Once upon a time there was a girl who was as proud as she was nearsighted. She tortured herself with means to prove to the outside world that she could see a well as anyone. One evening, she was to have an engagement. She hit upon a scheme. In the garden some fifty yards from the bench where she was to enter- tain, there was a large tree. In the bark of the tree she placed a pin. Came the date. The moonlight shone not too brightly. I wonder what that is in the tree over there? Heavens, I can ' t see anything. What wonderful eyes you must have. Wait, I ' ll show you. She took him by the hand to lead him over. On the way she stumbled over a cow. MYOPIC MINUTES E£ Near-sighted Bum — Oh my gosh! Here comes a cop. — Judge. Her blue, rather prominent eyes held the wistful appeal ol the short-sighted. Rosamand Lehmann, Dusty Answer.

They become reptiles, snakes, and the (Objections over- ind simultaneous depletion. Apparatus: Eternally the same. Method: After a second period of suspended activity, the subjects 1 were seen to have developed into a multiplicity of forms, as varied as the songbird, and the lowly bookworm, to say nothing of the parlor snake. A few speci- mens were seen to have developed in an elephantine direction, due to excessive absorption of nutritive elements during the four months ' recess. For the first time they showed the inst net for domination, having now progressed to that stage wherein some scientists concede a certain modicum of mentality 2 . The more gifted among the songbird ; were found instructing the young fledglings in that most lyrical of languages, the Greek. In the aggregate, their reaction to these inferior beings was one of protection, rather than oppression. Of the book worms, some were already marked out for higher reptilian career, others buried irretrievably. Nicotine was for the first time introduced into the environment Many of the reptiles were seen to react in a lively manner to this stimulus, some showing a positively unreptilian predilection for the same. Conclusions: This stage showed great progress both in development and variation of the species. Many showed promise of further activity. Some, we regret to observe, were seen to be unfortunate examples of arrested development. 1 1 Every subject ' s soul is his own.

Butler. 43 Lament The proctor and the thermostat Were sitting feeling blue, And as they sat they wept and said, We have too much to do. And that was very odd, because It wasn ' t really true. If seven maids on every floor Should shush for seven nights, Do you suppose the proctor said, Th y ' d put this thing to rights? I doubt it, said the thermostat, They ' d just be seven blights. The time has come, the proctor said, To listen for the noise Of jokes and laughs and poker games, And other kinds of joys. And then she wept because it took Such quantities of poise. The thermostat moved suddenly, And sighed a curious sigh Nobody else I ' m very sure, Works quite so hard as I. And that is quee ■ because his springs Work automatically. The proctor and the thermostat Are always in a rush To keep the halls agreeable And all that sort of slush; And both of them, it ' s very strange, They do it with a shush. 44 W ' t For That Embarrassing Moment r HEN the conversation breaks into a terrifying lull, you need not bring lp the dentist, remember your college education, — those long delightful hours passing notes under the obligingly myopic eye of Dr. Chew. What is education for, if not to embellish life? Instead of saying, as one slips into the dining room at 8:14} A. M., My God, is my petticoat showing? I knew I shouldn ' t have worn one, try lisping prettily, Her feet beneath her petticoat like little mice stole in and out. To quell the pernicious punster, say sternly, All the best puns were made hundreds of years ago, and quote, ' Tis better to be chas ' d than chaste. — Edward III.

( (f TT IVING on the campus, one sees the ends M — d oi so many stones; that is the delightful part of it, these words,quotedbyMissCIarke,are the key note to the character of that delightful woman, known affectionately as the Don . An anomaly among collegeprofessors, she enjoyed her work; this in an age when most educators were feeling cynical about their task. The Don is shown in the midst of the feverish background of campus life, serenely welcoming each Required English class and introducing them to the mysteries of Marlowe, and the joys of Joyce. In her black neck-band, and well cut clothes, she is as charming a figger as modern biography has yet unearthed. ARIEL. Enough of his life to explain his repu- tation. By Lou See. Muttons. 1978. $5. FITTINGLY, it is a woman who has interpre- tedand humanized thecharacterof this almost legendary figure. In his green or pink shirts, the tall, dark, romantic professor contrived to bring a touch of color almost daily to his classes. But it is not of his public life, of his character revealed in his lectures, so admirably treated by Juan in his series Private Men in Public Life ; it is not of this that Miss See deals. Her biographical novel has a fantastic touch, the man is shown gazing out of magic casements, opening on the foam of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn; he is shown in the dream world in which he lived. Miss See ' s theme is the influence of reading on character ; and it is admirably illustrated by this man whose one great passion grew out of his predilection for Wordsworth. Ariel is a charming addition to the already large collection of Chewiana. GHOSTS. By I. Ave Seenum. Bony and Liverwurst. 1978. $3. KNOWN to students as a spirit-scoffing atheist , the famous professor who is revealed in this searching biography, went through life hiding a secret. A secret of such consequence it was, that it colored not only his l ife but his teaching. Why was he so stern in denunciation of visions, trances, after-life? Did his professed unbelief hide a conviction that what he denied was true? Mr. Seenum, in his startling analysis of the man has revealed one of the most interesting psychological cases of the early- twentieth century. Have you ever seen a ghost? the Sardonic Swiss was once asked. Curling his lips in an instinctive expression of anger, his only answer was a snarl. In our age of spirit-writing and scientific telepathy, Ghosts is a book that should not be over- looked. FORBIDDEN FRUIT. By Hawk E. Stick. Sharpers. 1977. $3.50. THE influence of the apple seen in the lives of such famous characters as Adam, Paris, etc., has always been to put it mildly, bad. It was the usual cause of downfall. But history, besides repeating, contradicts itself; and in the life of that most important Apple of them all, we see an influence not for downfall, but for uplift, not for destruction, but for creation. Among the things she brought into the drear, drab life of the college campus are Hockey, the Christian Association, the College News, and other wonder- ful jokes. In the face of these discoveries about this unusual fruit, it is anticipated that certain famous folk-songs will lose point; especially that one which ends and caution that you let the apple be. 46 Edrfoi — We need more material for this book. Assistant (he pfu li ) — I ' ll go home and look through my waste-basket. r A dog about the place is not a bad thing and we feel that since the campus is so well equipped in this respect some remarks are not out of place. This is Something on campus dogs but it is not fleas. Don ' t make a mistake about that. This is a piece in prose, we tell you in case you didn ' t know. The dog with the largest following around here is called Euclio or sometimes Mr. Delly. He is a nice clean brown dog with a picaro nature. He lives in any hall that will take him in and doesn ' t care if it is a disreputable hole like Low Buildings. He sometimes shows a taste for higher learning but they all do that so it doesn ' t signify. Panama is almost as popular. He is a curly blue dog with an instinct for friendship. He has the courage o his convictions and does not mind crashing any hall tea. Sandy does this too and he has the most engaging way of sitting up to beg. It will wring a cake from the most raven- ous student. Peggy Manning is a modern young lady wh believes in independence. Her career is liberal to an ex- treme, and her education, well we won ' t go into that. She is a free spirit and would no doubt shock her Victorian ancestors, who believed that a woman ' s place is in the home. Paracelsis, although he is only a sausage hound, is a profound philosopher. He has a lot more names but no one can remember them. There are some aristocratic dogs around here, who have homes and owners, but they really don ' t count, because they won ' t walk with everyone who whistles. Johnny Hoag is another campus dog who is always looking for someone to walk with, but he ' s not so suc- cessful as the rest. Most of them are very good companions and do much to enhance the campus, which is more than can be said of some students. As a race campus dogs deserve serious con- sideration. They are much more popular than campus cats. If there is more you want to know, it is too bad, be- cause this is the end 48 H. TUTTLE H. GUITERMAN B. Loines A. Bruere J.

And in that class a scheme was found, As many schemes there be, Both good and bad, and weak and sound, And schemes of low degree This scheme and class at first were friends, Until a thought was had, And some to gain their private ends Declared the scheme was mad. This scheme, they said, will brand our class As lacking dignity And won ' t it seem a trifle crass To certain faculty? And so they gave up their delight And went to work with pride ; The class recovered overnight, — The scheme it was that died. 58 E For a Merit Mind, of a Merit Mind, and bv a Merit Mind VERYONE is beginning to plan for her future. Since everyone is so occupied, it is fitting and proper that we, the merit minded, should also ask of the universe what it has in store for us. According to the definition consider- ately furnished by the College Calendar, we are students of average intelligence , and should therefore look forward to an average little future. Like everybody else, we shall go to Europe after graduating. Here we shall encounter other minds: abject mortals dressed in grey who Passed in College, and are passing through life without doing much more; Credit students affably condescending and unmitigatingly enthusiastic. But we, the normal, in our dark brewn hat and our practical brown suit, will feel tepidly lonely in an average way. And then, upon an overcast day with a good average rainfall of J4 inch, we shall be introduced to a young man or rather he will be introduced to us in the most conventional fashion. Perhaps we shall meet him in the Louvre before the Alona Lisa, or again standing in the middle of the Coliseum. But however picturesque the spot, he is bound to say something like this: Say, what a pity it s raining. But it may clear off, tomorrow, y ' know At last — you are a merit mind! Then, we shall look into each other ' s eyes and our behavior will be so extremely normal that further explanation is unnecessary hen we return to America, our house will not be a mansion millionainly furnished in potted rubber trees, yards of red plush carpets, and naked statues trying vainly to get warm by ungainly attitudes; for such mansions are only reserved for those who flunked out Freshman Year. Neither shall we live in a den lit by candles and littered by papers; for such are the inheritance of H. C. ' s. No, we shall live in a little Home, a unique and exclusive spot in the suburbs which is neither in the country nor the city, but is five minutes from the electric trolley so that it enjoys the disadvantages of both. Even if our rooms are small, each room will be furnished with a bathroom resplendent in nickel furnishings; even if our porch is cramped, it will be supplemented by a sun parlor so-called in spite of the fact that it is heated by a steam radiator painted white. And here we shall train little merit minds for the future. Our little family, according to the latest statis- tics, will not be large, but we should each have a nice average of say one-quarter child apiece. 59 Graduating With Honor Sumtna Cum Laude Margaret Gregson Magna Cum Laude Ruth Margaret Peters Jean Louise Fesler Catherine Field Cum Laude Carolyn Elizabeth Asplund Esther Virginia Dikeman Margaret Perry Elizabeth Maxwell Carroll Chesnut Margaret Cameron Coss Jean Hannah Morgenstern Margaretta Mathilda Salinger Laura Margaret Haley Christine MacEwan Hayes Elizabeth Bethel Katherine Shepard Frances Louise Putnam Josephine Young Sara Beddoe Walker Mary Emlin Okie Elinor Beulah Amram Louise Fulton Gucker Alice Helen Palache Marion Howard Smith Virginia Atmore Margaret Hartly Hulse Cornelia Bruere Rose European Fellow Margaret Gregson 60 When is a Woman, not a Woman ?

This the reception primeval; the salient U, V ' s and W ' s Guide on the voiceless assembly, mutely regarding the French doors Leading to bliss and fulfillment, treasure of Wallace and Delly, Gladding the glistening mead-hall — Hrothgar presides at the table. Sit like Druids of old, the seniors sad and prophetic. Deep from the rocking arm-chair, high thoughts of Eskimo poetry Speak, and in accents disconsolate, answer the silence of seniors. This the reception primeval; cro-magnon the gowns that adorn it: Once they were models from Paris, now they are mouldering chiffon. Ye who believe in affection that hopes and endures and is patient, Ye who believe in the beauty and strength of woman ' s devotion, Take heed of those intricate vacuums, the minds of collegiate women, Hazarding blindly a question to fill in the ominous silence. These are the picked, thes2 the chosen; — the creme de la creme of the nation. 62 Elpis Megalay OR EIGHT WAYS TO IMPROVE THE HOUR ( Need We Apologize ? ) In them the seed of wis- dom did I sow.

Indeed, the Idols I have loved so long Have done my Credit in this world much wrong Have drowned my Glory in a shallow Cup, And sold my Reputation for a Song.

No, I think I am a worm, For when I creep into their sight they sneazle and they squirm. BUT Round about And round about And round about I go — All around the offices In Dalton and the Lib.

She didn ' t want to go to college very much hut all her friends seemed to lie doing it and anyway there wasn ' t anything to do at home if she did stay there and what fun to get away on your own for four years. So after she had gonj through all the pre- liminaries like physics and did your grandmother die of dysentery she became a full-Hedged college student and put away all her good clothes and went around in a bandana and that skirt which Mother said you ' d better give to the cook ' s little girl because it ' s all torn and covered with spots and I ' d be ashamed to see you in it. And when Mother came down to college she put it away in the back of her closet and cleaned out her top bureau drawer and pretended she knew everybody on campus. Well anyway she stayed at college for years and found it was all right after all and even though a college woman she still had a few boy friends though by senior year the competition was pretty strong. But the worst part of it all was that she got interested in her courses and got ideas and talked about disarmament and how Coleridge got that way and even knew that Aphasia was different from Pericles ' girl friend and why not give companionate marriage a trial for a while? But still she was a lovely young girl and when spring of senior year came round she discovered she was in the upper ten and hence socially unaccept- able as beautiful but dumb and her career was ruined because she hadn ' t meant to work and those professors were just too easy to give her all those high credits because that report was perfectly awful and you know you can always tell when your own work is bad. Well anyway there wasn ' t anything she could do about it at that point so she went bravely on during the rest of the year and got through all the senior activities like being waked up at the crack of dawn by her little sopho- more friends being vocal through the morning mists. But finally having stood a lot through four years she came to Garden Party which was the final straw to break a senior ' s back and she decided she couldn ' t stand it any longer, all this sor- didness and not a flower to lighten the drabness of my life, so she drowned herself in the cloister fountain, which was awfully unpleasant for people who were showing their families around; yes, this is the cloister, it ' s real old English, isn ' t it? 67 Athletics 1927-1928 All-Round Championship Won by 1928 HOCKEY Won by 1928 Captain— A.

The subject is one familiar to all, the Bryn- mawrcollegeelizabethanmaydayfeteandrevels. The papers will be marked according to fact, fancy, brightness of imagery and neatness of penmanship. This is a test of observation. Study the pictures carefully; there is something missing in each one; see if you can discover what it is, and draw it in. This will also give you an opportunity to discover a hidden talent. Mail the completed drawings to any correspondence school, and wait for results. Some cartoonists make as much as $700.00 a week. 74 ir II tickets arc $3.00 ($2.00 for children, students, etc.); lunch, $1.50; Programs, $1.00; Grandstand seats, reserved $.75, unreserved $.50, S.

If, on your one entrance, you did not stumble over any scenery, actors, or other properties, draw a foot in circle B. C. If you successfully peregrinated from lanes to circles, thence deviding in half for circles H and I, whence to circle O around the May Pole, go counterclockwise in circle C. D. If it did not rain, draw a closed umbrella in circle D. E. If your beard was only half digested at the preliminary luncheon, draw a h°rsehair sofa in circle E. F. If, in motoring down, your family crossed successfully from the Roosevelt Boulevard to City Line Avenue, draw a new Ford touring car in circle F. G. If you evaded all lines for non-attendance at pageant rehearsals, draw a check. H. If the joke about a certain red-haired professor was not heard more than six times, draw a long-legged man in circle H. I. If you honestly think this was the best May Day you ever saw, (assuming that you were unavoidably absent from any previous performance), draw on your imagination. If unhappily, none of these things took place, eclipse all circles, and skip to page 82. 75 I The Class Book is indebted to the College News Jor the pictures used in this section. 1 Triolgy of Tragedy I I practised diction three long years While Sue had always mumbled; She walked upon her hands with ease, But I had always stumbl ed.

These three factors every one of the new AudioGraphic Music Rolls, for the Duo-Art Reproducing Piano covers thoroughly and with amazing vividness. This new and intensely interesting method of music presentation brings your sight to the aid ol your hearing, enabling you to gain quickly and easily a full understanding of the beauties of the music, Every AudioGraphic Roll is in itself a complete music appreciation lesson, a lesson, moreover, in which the music of a great composer is played to you by a great pianist and interpreted to you by a great musical authority. oAudioQraphic cMusic 4 f WRITE FOR ILLUSTRATED BOOKLET Educational Department THE AEOLIAN COMPANY AEOLIAN HALL 689 Fifth Avenue ats 54th Street  New York 125 •♦«  ■ Qompliments of LORD THOMAS and LOGAN •na = • 124 COUSINS ' Quality Shoes Never Vary From Standard Except to Improve PHILADELPHIANS know that our prices are always fair — that our stocks always represent the newer modes and that for foot comfort combined with style our famous Modease Shoes have few, if any, peers.
