THE C U IP O L A VOLUME XI WASHINGTON., D, C, 19 3 3 Kei. TO Miss Cole IN LOVING DEDICATION “But desire earnestly the greater gifts . And moreover a most excellent n tip shon? I unto vou. JEAN DEAN COLE Fa Me of Confenis A DEDICATION FOREWORD THE FACULTY CLASSES SEMINARS ORGANIZATION ATHLETICS LITERATURE EVENTS DRAMATICS PERMANENT ADDRESSES ADVERTISEMENTS or e w orn T HE world to-day stands faced with an economic change. It confronts not only new economic values but new spiritual ones. For out of these years of disorder and destruction, we have come to realize the futility of the material, and the significance of the intangible. Intangible realities are the only enduring ones in life. How much belter it is to own a sense of humor, courage and faith than a generous bank account! Even though the depression has wrought immense hardships, it has taught the world a valuable lesson. It has proved the worth- lessness of inflation. But out of every evil some good is born. The greatest gift that a school of this kind bestows is to give a realization of spiritual values. Here, we have instilled in us the fine ideals which equip us better to cope with the problems of the world. So it is that we will hold dear in our memories the days spent at Mount Vernon Seminary, where we learned to strive for the best and worthiest in life. — The Editor Alma Matter Our Alma Mater glorious, With loving hearts and proud. We crown thee all victorious And sing thy praise aloud. In loyalty we serve thee And strive to heed thy call. Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Through self to conquer all. You give unfailing kindness If trouble meet us here; You foster all our pleasures And make them seem more dear. Nor time, nor care, nor sorrow Can these fair days erase, But they with each to-morrow Help us new tasks to face. Like breath of Spring s fresh morning I hat lifts the heart to song, When courage droops and wavers Arrd paths seem gray and long. Will come thy dauntless spirit To help us on the way. Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Hold fast thy tender sway. The changing years may bring us Some longed-for dream of bliss, Yet memory will cherish A sympathy we miss. In hours of joy or sadness. Whatever our need may be. Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Thy children turn to thee. m - f OTtl VCk‘ - A c Ghe Gupol a Admims£ra£iive -ami I e cliimg Staff, Jean Dean Cole . . , . . . . . . .

E72 j A (Che Cupola Tine Abbey I Leatre PHE Abbey Players who have been touring this country and giving to the American audience a glimpse of Ireland found their impetus in the desire of William Butler Yeats and Lady Gregory to immortalize the characteristics of Ireland in a national drama. In 1893 Mr. Yeats became interested in producing on the Irish stage with an Irish cast a play which he had written, singularly Irish in character, dealing with the home life, the political struggle and in short the very heart of Ireland. Mr. Yeats had already successfully produced this play in England before an audience which had appre- ciated his genius and had caught the spirit which he had hoped to convey An English- woman who understood Mr, Yeats ' wish for further development of national drama in Ireland purchased a building on Abbey Street in Dublin, presented it to him and the group by this time associated with him, in order that they might have an Irish Theatre, Lady Gregory gave much of her time and money toward making this theatre a success as well as writing several delightful plays which are still a part of their repertoire. It was not until 1 904 that the Abbey 1 heatre was organized, taking its name from its location, and launched itself upon its career of furthering the creation and acting of Irish drama. The writers associated with this theatre realized that Ireland fostered a whimsical humor closely allied to pathos, a staunch loyalty, determination and courage, all dramatic material worthy of the world s attention Too few modern theatre movements have sprung up as a result of an incentive to dramatize a country ' s intrinsic nationality, and the efforts of this group to do this very thing have everywhere found a sincere appreciation A searcher after significant modern drama finds fulfillment of his quest in the work of this little group of men and women who have plombed the depths of their everyday experiences, have relived them on the stage, and in turn awakened a dual interest in Ireland and in the drama. When these experimentalists began producing plays, all the actors were amateurs in the sense that they were unpaid. Most of them were employed nearby and dropped in to rehearse when they were free. Thus the theatre became their release from drudgery. Through their desire to express themselves, there was flashed into the world a living picture of an Ireland hitherto unmet Versatile these actors had to be before they could adjust themselves to the exacting demands of their repertoire One had to alternate between a rollicking comic part and a strong tragic role; he had to go from a lead to a minor place in a mob scene Perhaps it was because these parts were all so close to their own experience and born of Irish soil, that they interpreted so easily and movingly the spirit of comedy and tragedy in life One of their most dramatic plays is “The Things That Are Caesar ' s by Paul V Carroll In it a girlish heroine is torn between loyalty to her father, a shiftless, but highly intelligent man, and her mother, a domineering, scheming hypocrite whose only claim to her daughter ' s affections is one of filial instinct. Her mother is a staunch Catholic completely under the thumb of the priest, while the father is Protestant and kept pointing out to he child fallacies in her mother ' s beliefs. At the opening of the play, Eilish has run away from the convent where her mother and the priest had sent her to escape her father ' s influ- ence. The whole atmosphere at the convent had been unreal beyond endurance. The mother enraged and disgraced by her daughter ' s defiance, settles upon marriage as the next step. She has friends who have a son of marriageable age, and through much scheming t 74 ( c Che Cupola and planning and flattery, she ensnares this boy as her daughter’s suitor. The father in poor health is beset by the unhappy thought that he will not live to save Eilish from this loveless match The struggle mounts to a climax when he finally persuades her not to marry, and then in a heart attack, dies. Left alone with the mother, Eilish soon drifts back into a listlessness that gives her mother an upper hand. By the day of the wedding, the girl has been driven almost to madness realizing her powerlessness to withstand her mother’s influence. The minute the ceremony is over, she dashes out of the house, and the audience is left with so tragic a sense of her desperation that the thought of suicide brings merciful relief. The play is strong and leaves one heavy-hearted with sympathy for the child but baffled as to what should be done under such circumstances. Her position is natural and common enough and no less inevitable. There seems no way out When the Irish players came to Washington, Maureen Delany as the mother gave a telling performance. She was intolerant, cunning and powerful. The father was lovable, pathetic and commanded respect, while the daughter, played by Kate Curling, was the most excellently cast of the three possibly bcause she is young enough to portray truly the sensitive victim of domineering parents, driven into a state of mind where she shrinks from physical contact, desiring only the solitude beyond which no one can break in upon her reserve Another piece in their repertoire played in a much lighter mood, is Lennox Robin- son’s “The Whiteheaded Boy.” This story centers about the youngest son of a large family. The mother has shown him so much partiality that the ambitions of the other children have gone unsatisfied. Again it is a family struggle, but this time the tension is relieved by the very amusing Aunt Ellen and her romance with John Duffy. When the play opens the whole family are discussing the return of Denis who has been in Dublin taking trial examinations for Oxford. George, the oldest son who has assumed the headship of the family since his father ' s death receives a telegram addressed to Denis and takes the liberty of opening it. The message implies Denis’ failure and George welcomes the opening that it gives him. He can’t afford to sacrifice the other children any longer. He will send Denis to Canada. The rest of the family find it a congenial plan and before the mother can protest, it is decided that Denis shall leave immediately for Canada to earn his own living. The others can then do some of the things they have longed to do. The youngest daughter, “Baby,” plans to study music; Peter seizes an opportunity to become manager of a cooperative store promoted by Aunt Ellen. When Denis comes home he finds them all turned against him except his mother who holds doggedly to her belief that he is not like her other children and must be given advantages. For the sake of appearances they are going to tell people that a wealthy relative in Canada has sent for Denis to take him into a fine business. This infuriates him, but the brothers and sisters overrule him and he can do little. Now he cannot marry Delia, the girl whom he has been engaged to for some time. He writes her to explain the situation, using the Canada story. But John Duffy, her father, turns this elaborate fib into a trap, and insists that this good fortune be shared, Denis must take Delia to Canada with him. They finally confess that this is merely a story to protect Denis from the disgrace of failure. I’hen a breach of promise looms on the horizon. In an effort to keep the matter out of court, George and the mother pay Duffy generous sums of money lo drop the case and Aunt Ellen, who all this time has been renewing an old love affair with Duffy, consents to marry him if he will withdraw the charge. Each person bargains with him quite unknown to the others, which brings out the point that they are all ready to sacrifice for Denis. In the last act Denis enters with Delia and announces their marriage. He adds to this news the fact that he has found work in a road gang and is beginning that day. It £ 75 ] Che Cupola is too much for the family to picture this favorite son working in a road gang and Peter generously offers Denis the position in his Aunt s store. Another victory for Denis ! The play leaves one feeling that it is just the beginning and that he will always be provided for by someone more than willing to look after him. He is indeed “ The Whiteheaded BoyA The large cast in this play allows portrayal of many typical Irish characters. The part of the mother played by Eileen Crowe achieves an almost tragic pathos, Kate Curling as the young Delia was well cast and made an attractive bride for the handsome youth so completely spoiled. Denis G ' Dea took the part of the Whiteheaded boy and Barry Fitzgerald and Maureen Delany gave the best comedy to the play with their interpretations of John Duffy and Aunt Ellen, Each part in this play counted definitely and gave opportunity for very strong character studies. Ireland seems to have led the way in a most constructive and worthy effort to make the world conscious of national drama. Irish drama is of the people and by the people. It will remain an enduring record of lives baffled by problems and brightened by joys and of life as it has to be met by all people, wherever they may be born. — Barbara Cobb 3 Am tike Shadow I am the shadow treading on your heels 1 he ghost that moans in every haunted tower. 1 am the serpent couched beneath the flower.

Strauss, C C he Cupola acs an IVLod ante s Ai epi r meriiea 4 inferno it! aiacl aai 7 T ORE fascinating a pursuit could scarcely be found than studying the arrangement of Dante ' s Inferno. If I had more knowledge of Aristotle ' s Ethics, and of the Roman Catholic doctrines of Dante s age, I might determine why he arranged his Hell as he did. Since this background is not mine, let us consider the ethics, implicit in J he Divme Comedy, ' in contrast to the ethical standards of Modern America. First of all no Modern American could ever believe in anything so aboriginal ' ’ as Hell, as George Jean Nathan puts it. I doubt whether any Modern American has the learning, imagination, and let me add patience, to appreciate Dante ' s Hell. Certainly his ethics are not perceptibly in accord with either the laissez aller” of the American view point, or the practical American philosophy ' Eat, drmk, and be merry, for tomorrow you die, At the gate of Dante s Hell are found those apathetic souls indifferent to good and bad alike. The popularity of what Modern America calls ' sophistication ' ' would station this class more properly at the gate of Heaven. For is not Hamlet ' s line, there ' s nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so, ' branded today as obvious rather than thought provoking? Carnal sinners are no longer considered wicked. In fact, marriage is not recom- mended until late in life, when it can be more easily based on social, economic, intellectual and spiritual congeniality. This might complicate baptism, which, has long ceased to be thought necessary to the saving of souls from eternal perdition, and has become little more than a ritual of not too vital importance. Surely yours is not the quondam belief that the world suffers from over-production! Modern monopolies suggest that human desire is infinite. Mr. Ford has not encouraged the fashion of predicting eternal damnation for the gluttonous. It is true that you do not like caviar? As for the prodigal and avaricious, the Salvation Army will undoubtedly save the souls of the prodigal, while the rest of us will laud the avaricious for their frankness in owning up to natural self-interest. Their interests are, of course guarded by unions and corporation lawyers; the more successful the case, the larger the salary. It would be a sin to condemn the wrathful and gloomy. These poor unfortunate brothers should be psychoanalytically though expensively aided, to release themselves from a complex for which they are blameless, since society has so ruthlessly suppressed their desires. Heretic is a word used nowadays only by historians, while freedom of thought, of speech, and of the press, certainly as far as religion is concerned, is taken for granted as the inviolable right of every human being. History books, however, still assert the un- believable excellence, indeed the superiority, of the American nation. The mayor of Chicago could never allow the young student to believe that Americans turned tail and fled at Bunker Hill, and the Senators were dreadfully shocked, when it was suggested that they were at times influenced by economic considerations of a personal character. Nor will America suffer the truth at any time to be printed in her newspapers. In the eighth region of Hell, Dante confined those guilty of violence. Today those violent against their neighbors escape damnation on the grounds of heredity and environ- ment. Although we may lock them up for safety, rhey are more to be pitied than damned. Regarding violence to one ' s self and one ' s goods, instead of condemning this as a sin, we praise it as a virtue. Men today who have taken their lives to provide sufficient funds for c T?he Cupola their families, live as heroes in the minds of the survivors. Violence toward God, through taking his name in vain is so prevalent both in American speech and writings, that it is scarcely more significant than punctuation. His churches are robbed not infrequently. Nature and art endure the utmost violence, but the majority of the populace remain uncon- scious not only of the violence but of the art In war-time, Rheims was blown to pieces, fertile lands were destroyed, and men were burned and slaughtered by the millions, as an act of idealism and bravery. The condition of art and nature in peace-time defies descrip- tion for American has never known that blessed state. However, mere cessation of war seems to promise little for art and nature, if we are to judge by the canvasses at the Bi-ennial Art Exhibition, or to appreciate a landscape completely hidden by flagrant bill boards. Seducers of women are perfectly innocent. In America a woman is capable of taking care of herself. Flatterers are common and indeed pleasing to society, Savoir faire implies having a good line ' and professional personalities, are employed every- where from department stores to the navy. Due to the pauperism of the Protestant church, simony is scarcely a temptation. Politics offer an excellent substitute, if we are to believe the hundred and one exposes to be read on every side. America accepted the Devil Passes without too great a shock. Soothsayers are the fashion. They add life and entertainment to the dance. C rooked politicians, as Mr. Johnson will testify, are not foreign to American soil. In fact, they find it eminently suited to their purposes. For although the great American public resents the mocking success of the peculator, it still reelects Jimmy Rolf. Hypocrites are misfits in this day of being natural. Yet the fact that most of us are hypocritical is the burden of the refrain that runs through Eugene O ' Neills Strange Interlude. In all probability, though Modern America would be too broad-minded ' to condemn the majority of its individualist populace to everlasting torment. He who appropriates other people ' s property is not branded as a thief, but merely suffers from kleptomania, or some other maladjustment; while evil counselors are not nearly so shunned by society as their gullible victims. J he modern American would rather be a sinner than a sap any day. Lovers of scandal are common at our bridge tables, and belong to our best circles, acting as an auxiliary to our newspapers. Schismatics are more common in America than members of the Roman Catholic faith, while the adherents of the latter will probably become fewer, with the growing need of birth control. Imposters, whether social-climbers or racketeers, earn admiration for their cleverness. To get by is to succeed in America. Poor cousins” are so common that blood no longer counts for what it did formerly. Instinctive love of parents no longer exists. Nor does America consider it a matter of righteous duty to be loyal to one s family. Blood has grown thinner than water. Dante, however, in his day of nationalism, would find ample support for his con- demnation of a traitor to his country. Modern America, rather than condemn the traitor, may consider the betrayed a fool, whether he be kinsman, friend, or benefactor, but if a man betrays his country he is indeed lost. Although the individual must look out for himself in this day of rugged individualism, yet the peculator and traitor to his country still earns resentment for outwitting the great mind of the people. How far I am right in these surmises I must leave to your judgment, but certainly the ethical doctrines of Dante and of twentieth century America are very widely separated. Yet this should ot mean that the vitality, comprehensiveness, and exquisite beauty of The Divine Comedy need be lost to modern readers. However, if whole-hearted belief in the ethical doctrines of Dante were possible, and could produce any of the power, fervor, or inspiration that was his, I should be an ardent advocate of turning prodigal and returning home to the Father. - — Marguerite Beach [tsj A c Che Gupola King Cole’s Court (A, T) By Julia E.

Barbara Cobb: Have we missed anyone? Oh yes, Doris! I know she’s abroad because I saw photographs of her lovely Italian villa in the last issue of Vogue. Barbara Beal: Yes, Doris has lived abroad ever since her marriage, but she managed to tear herself away long enough to come and join us for our fifteenth reunion, BARBARA Cobb: Fifteenth! Heaven, it doesn’t seem possible, does it? It was only the other day that we were struggling over our Senior Essays. Oh, dear. Time does fly! Barbara Beal: I’m sure I’ve been talking almost fifteen minutes. I see a string a mile long waiting outside to pile in here. They all look very annoyed. Perhaps I had better give someone else a chance at the telephone. Listen, why don’t you come in and have luncheon with me? Oh, about one or one-thirty at — any place you say.
