1920's first team fell before the Junior
attack with a score of 26-15 last Monday,
In a messy game marred by much fum-
bling. The Sophomores, though showing
the better teamwork, were poor at shoot-
ing, and missed chance after chance at
the basket. M. Peacock, 1919's captain,
put in twelve of the Junior goals.
1919 opened the game with a rush, M.
Peacock scoring the first point after a
pretty pass from E. Lanier, and slipping
in three others immediately afterward.
A spurt by the Sophomores, resulting in
three field goals and a free throw, and
two more shots by M. Peacock, put the
score at the end of the first half 12-7.
The Sophomores showed more fight in
the second half, scoring four more goals,
two of them put in by L. Harlan. captain,
who played a strong game at center. Sir
shots by M. Peacock and one by E.
Lanier '19, kept the Juniors well in the
lead, with a final score of 26-15.

TRIUMPHANT BANNER INSIDE GYM
By capturing first place In the track
meet Saturday the Sophomores won the
right to hang their banner In the Merlon
end of the gymnasium.
The ceremony of hanging a class ban-
ner inside the gymnasium was once as
elaborate as that of hanging it outside.
Up till 1912 the track meet was an Indoor
event, as the students were not allowed
under Self-Government to wear bloomers
on the athletic fields.
TRACK MEET WON BY 1920.
JUNIORS A CLOSE SECOND
A. Stiles '19 Individual Champion
1920 carried off first place in the inter-
class track meet last Saturday with a to-
tal of 45.7 points, only 3.2 points over
1919, who took second. 1921 captured
third with 32.2 points, the Seniors coming
In last with 25.6. No records were broken.
B. M.'s were won by A. Stiles '19, P.
Turle '18, and E. Cecil '21, for the first
three places In the individual champion-
ship.
The Sophomores owed their score
largely to the winning of second, third
and fourth places, coming out first In
only three events. M. M. Carey and P.
Helmer took first in Javelin throw and
hurl ball and 1920 defeated 1919 in the
final heat of the interclass relays, time
40 1/5 seconds. The winners' other
points were made principally in dashes
and hurdling.
A. Stiles '19, highest individual cham-
pion, scored 29 points for her class in
running, hurdling, and jumping events,
with four first places. In the 75-yard and
100-yard dashes her time was the same as
last year, but she cut her former speed
by 2/5 seconds In the 60-yard hurdles.
She tied D. Rogers '20 for first place in

$56,000 IN BONDS SUBSCRIBED
BY COLLEGE IN THIRD DRIVE

Quarter of a Million for Year

lion for the total College subscription

total of $56,000.

people who subscribed and won a place
on the Honor Roll are "Pamela" and Jo-
seph Connolly, the only employee who has
been here since the College started.

Club".
With the exception of an $8000 sub-

Vote $1000 to Armenian Relief and
New Member for Service Corps
Dr. McCallum to Speak at Vespers
As the head of a unit of six sailing this
month for Persia, Dr. Frederick W. Mc-
Callum has been assigned $1000 by the
Bryn Mnwr Service Corps Committee, for
relief work among the Armenians.
Agnes Morrow '12, who sailed last week
with a Y. M. c. A. canteen unit, has been
taken on as a regular member of the
Service Corps with fully paid expenses.
The other members chosen last winter
are Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant '03 and
Margaret Bontecou '09.
The assignment of a fund for Armenian
relief is in line with the sense of the
mass meeting last February that Dr. Wil-
liam Nesbitt Chambers, who is in charge
of the fund for the Armenians in this
country, should be a member of the Serv-
ice Corps. Dr. Chambers is not, however,
actively engaged in relief work, whereas
Dr. McCallum is leaving for Persia al-
most immediately, and will be able to ad-
minister the fund in person.
Dr. McCallum will speak here Sunday
at a special Service Corps Vespers. Ex-
Dean Marion Rellly '01 will Introduce
him, and E. Houghton '18 will speak.

Departing from its tradition of Cilbert
and Sullivan, the Glee Club gave as its
annual operetta last week-end "The
Chimes of Normandy", by Planquette.
From the two performances, Friday and
Saturday evenings, $555 was taken in.
part of which, when expenses are paid,
will go to the Bryn Mawr Service Corps.
Between the acts posters of the play were
auctioned by G. Hess '20, netting $78.
A pure musical comedy, sacrificing dra-
matic situation to music and setting, the
production was marked by well-trained
choruses and effective costumes. The act-
ing was notably smoother the second
night.
The difficulty of presenting the some-
what conventional French humor to an
audience with a well-developed taste for
'Patience" and "Pinafore" was only par-
tially overcome. F. Fuller, in a make-up
worthy of a professional Shylock. acted
the doddering old miser, Gaspard. with
the full exaggeration which the role re-
quired. A. Moore, however, as Greni-
cheux, failed to take advantage of her
part's comic possibilities.
A. Page's pretty Impersonation of the
pert good-for-nothing Serpolette, com-
bined easy stage presence and perfect
control of her voice. As the lost heir, T.
Haynes. whose voice was the fullest of
the cast, made a romantic lover for the
dainty heroine, Germaine. played by J.
Hemenway.
The ghostly atmosphere of the MMM in
the haunted castle was well created, al-
though the action between the songs
tended to drag. A needed contrast was
afforded by the entrance of the chorus of
brave buccaneers, composing the Mar-
quis's bodyguard.
The village maids and coachmen in the
first and last acts, in spite of their
crowded position on the stage, showed
themselves unusually well trained both
