FRESHMAN SHOW REVEALS
VARIED TALENT IN 1925
Scarlet Cockatoo of Freshmen Joins
Class Menageries
,                *
"Excellent staging, novel stunts and
choruses, and many witty lines won for
1925's Mirrors of Yarrow Road, given to
1924 last Saturday evening, an honorable
place among Freshman shows. The first
act showed a consistently high quality of
construction, staging and acting, and set an
almost professional standard which the two
later acts scarcely maintained. Much in-
dividual talent was discovered, such as
E. Macy's and E Hinkley's dancing, E
Grayson's and L. Bulley's comedy, and H.
Cornish's singing. The curtain song, the
complicated harmony of which was beau-
tifully rendered, was composed by M. M.
Dunn.
Dorami (1924), who had been captured
by the pirates in her infancy, and Bart-
lemy (1925), the son of the pirate.chief,
Big Ben (1923), were introduced in the
spirited first scene, and sang together "Oh,
Dorami."
The scenes between them, though arti-
ficial, were in keeping with the operetta
tradition. The little pirate boy and girl,
who appeared as Bartlemy was reminding
Dorami of their life together on the isle,
were childlike and charming. Big Ben was
likewise a true-to-type pirate chief, and had
no difficulty in persuading his followers to
accompany him even over the Sea of
Matriculasia to the Egelloc where his son
Bartlemy might "hitch his wagon to the
star of Knowledge,, and learn to be a
leader."
Dances Enthusiastically Applauded
The dance of the Slaves and of the
Jewels both won enthusiastic applause; the
latter was original and graceful, dancing
of a kind iyjt often attempted on the col-
lege stage. The play of lights on the vari-
colored, bejewelled costumes was particu-
larly lovely. The finale to the act showed
Dorami and "Bartlemy standing alone look-
ing over the moonlit water, while "Speed
Bonny Boat" was sung iii the distance*
With act two, romance seemed to have
given way to grim reality, for instead of a
pirate cave with moonlit water, the scene
showed the customs office of Egelloc, bare
walls, desks, and bails of goods. The cus-
toms official, acted by L. Bulley, proved the
center of the scene's gaiety, and got a
laugh with nearly every line whether Be
dictated to Miss E/fie Shiccy, played bridge
with the chorus of stenographers, or inter-
viewed, in an official capacity, Big Ben and
his pirates.
The Pajama Chorus at the beginning of
act three, found an enthusiastic audience,
as they sleepily danced setting up-exercises
to Miss Cornish's singing of the "Aggra-
vatin' Blues." Adolph, the Major Domo
' with his extravagant gestures and color-
ful French-English, introduced the choruses
and features for the entertainment of the
Governor's pirate guests; two very adept
acrobats even made exits and entrances
in involved and startling ways; Taki
Fugita, singing a Japanese song, was en-
thusiastically encored.
The presentation of tht Class Animal,
which must be the grand finale of every
Freshman show, came after the Governor
(1922) had discovered that Dorami was
Us long lost daughter, and had consented
to her engagement to Bartlemy. "As a
reward for your first year in Egelloc and
your winning of the lovely Dorami" the
Governor ordered the doors at the rear of
the stage to be thrown wide and intro-
duced the Scarlet Cockatoo.

DARK BLUE BANNER FLYS ON
GYMNASIUM FOR SECOND TIME
Seniors Sweep Through Sophomore
Defence in Water-Polo Victory
The stubborn- resistance of every mem-
ber of the Sophomore first was unable to
check 1922 in the deciding game of the
finals last Thursday evening." The Senior
team, organized around the dashing team-
work of E. Anderson and A. Nicoll, sys-
tematically scored seven goals to their
opponents' one.
Though stopped at every point by the
Dark Blue fulls, the Sophomore forwards,
especially M. Buchanan, tried to keep up
an offensive game through both halves.
They were ably supported by J. Wise, '24,
at center half, but though their fighting
never let up, they were tromthe beginning
outclassed in quick accurate shooting, team
work and speed by the Senior team. At
the end pf the second half, after several
sensational dribbles, which were blocked
by E Anderson, '22, M. Buchanan, '24,
succeeded in throwing a clean goal, the
only score for her side.
Nineteen twenty-two's strength was ob-
viously the result of their excellent dis-
cipline, accuracy and speed. Passing as
scientifically as the members of a basket
ball team, keeping uncovered, swiftly re-
covering the ball when lost," and above all
fighting with furious vigor, they showed
themselves unmistakably superior to the
Sophomore team. E Anderson repeatedly
overtook J. Wise, '24, or M. Fairies, '24,
when they were dribbling with the ball,
and took it from them, throwing it to A.
Nicoll or P. Smith, who were always ready
to receive it and try for a goal. E

Committee a Committee of Three, consist-
ing of Professors 'Scott, Huff and Fenwick,
to consult with the Nominating Committee,
was elected by the faculty at a special
meeting Ijeld February 10, 1921.
For the past fourteen months the Nomi-
nating Committee has considered many
possible candidates in its effort to find the
best president for the College. Very many
names were suggested for consideration
by the alumnae of the College and by
prominent men and women having no other
connection with the College than their in-
terest in education and in Bryn Mawr
College. The Committee also asked many
well-known people for advice and itself
made a thorough search for the right
person.
At a meeting of the directors, held Janu-
ary 19, 1922, the Directors' Nominating
Committee, having received in advance
the approval of the Faculty X^onsultative
Committee at three separate meetings with
the. Nominating Committee, by unanimous
vote nominated to the directors Dr. Marion
Edwards Park, Dean of Raddiffe College,
as the future president of Bryn Mawr
College.                                          t
Unanimous  Election   by   Directors
Whereupon the directors, after a full
discussion, in which the three faculty rep-
resentatives of the Board, Professors Huff,
Donnelly and Fenwick took part and ex-
pressed their approval, unanimously elected
Marion Edwards Park president of Bryn
Mawr College, the election to take effect
on the resignation of the present president
at the close of the current year.
On January 21st the president of the
Board and the president of the College-
called on Dean Park at her house, in Cam- -
bridge, Mass., and informed her of her
election to the presidency. On February
23rd she accepted the election, but asked
to have the announcement delayed until
February 28th, in order that her resigna-
tion could be presented to the Raddiffe
Association.
President (elect) Parjc is therefore the
unanimous choice of the Board of Di-
rectors. She is approved by the Faculty
Representatives, who consulted with the
Nominating Committee and by he Faculty
Representatives on the Board of Directors.
She received the largest vote cast for any
candidate in the ballot sent out to the
Bryn Mawr College alumnae by the Ex-
ecutive Board of the Alumnae Association.
She is a scholar, teacher and experienced
executive. She holds the degree of A.B.
(group: Greek and English), A.M. and
PhD. (Latin and Greek) from Bryn
