5 Constantly referred to!!!Cat8t3 | 26/07/2007 | See all Cat8t3's reviews (1)Top 100 Books Reviewer I was recommended this book by my neighbour and What a book, I have just started to wean my 2nd baby, and this book has all the info i need. It tells you when and what to feed your baby,and what to do if you baby dislikes certain foods. It has step by step guides and meal planners that are very easy to follow.I hate it when you read a description of a book that says ''100's of easy recipes'' and when you get it you need to by hundreds of ingredients that you have never heard of, well this book isnt one of those, it does exactly what it says on the cover, and all the recipes are very easy.I have prepared all the food my daughter has eaten so far, using this book as my only reference. The book is compact in size and therefore is easy to keep in the kitchen draw. I only wish i had this book when i was weaning my 1st daughter.
5 Highly Recommended for Mums'Susan101 | 29/11/2007 | See all Susan101's reviews (1)This is an excellent book from Weaning to Toddlers, it has been my bible for the past 2 years and I still use it now for inspiration for new meals for me and my husband as well as family, and for cookies and things that my 2 year old can help with during "messy play" I have recommended it to my friends. The recepies are full of ingredients that you would actually have in the cupboard rather than those that you would never generally buy.
5 The Bible! Every mum should have a copy!PoppyBee | 22/01/2010 | See all PoppyBee's reviews (1)I heard the name Annabel Karmel over and over whilst pregnant and during the first few months of my daughters life but i was of the opinion that all baby food was boiled/steamed and mushed veg, how wrong i was! I recieved a free Annabel Karmel book with a magazine, it was a very short version but those few recipes were enough to have me searching for more! The meals are very easy to make and so delicious the whole family love them! My daughter now loves all food and i think that has a lot to do with this book. Annabel explains how to help your baby to get used to foods which they aren't overly keen on and it works! Excellent book, i have taken to buying them for friends and family as baby shower gifts! Can't go wrong!
5 Baby & Toddler complete meal plannerShellTKK | 11/07/2011 | See all ShellTKK's reviews (1)I was given this book by a friend as a gift when i had my first child 4 years ago, when i started to wean i didnt have a clue where to start so i used this book and it was like my bible! I have used it again with my second daughter! This book is a must have and well worth every penny! I have just added to my collection with the Family meal planner. I like Annabell Karmels collection :*) And met her recently at The Baby show in Glasgow where i actually thanked her as she was a major support or at least her book was LOL!

Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Time
As judged by notoriety, creativity, and number of people duped
As judged by notoriety, creativity, and number of people duped
The first version of this list was created in the late 1990s. Over the years it's been slightly tweaked,
with some rearrangement and additions based on reader feedback and ongoing research, but the top choices have remained pretty much the same.
If you're curious to learn more about April Fool's Day, there's a lot of information in The Official April Fool's Day FAQ. Also check out the museum's April Fool Archive, which is a collection of April Fool's Day stories and pictures that spans the entire history of the celebration.

On 1 April 1957, the respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best." More→
The April 1985 issue of Sports Illustrated contained a story about a new rookie pitcher who planned to play for the Mets. His name was Sidd Finch, and he could reportedly throw a baseball at 168 mph with pinpoint accuracy. This was 65 mph faster than the previous record. Surprisingly, Sidd Finch had never even played the game before. Instead, he had mastered the "art of the pitch" in a Tibetan monastery under the guidance of the "great poet-saint Lama Milaraspa." Mets fans celebrated their teams' amazing luck at having found such a gifted player, and they flooded Sports Illustrated with requests for more information. In reality this legendary player only existed in the imagination of the author of the article, George Plimpton, who left a clue in the sub-heading of the article: "He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga —and his future in baseball." The first letter of each of these words, taken together, spelled "H-a-p-p-y A-p-r-i-l F-o-o-l-s D-a-y A-h F-i-b". More→
In 1962 there was only one tv channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. But on 1 April 1962, the station's technical expert, Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that, thanks to a new technology, viewers could convert their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their tv screen. Stensson proceeded to demonstrate the process. Thousands of people were taken in. Regular color broadcasts only commenced in Sweden on April 1, 1970. More→
The Taco Bell Corporation took out a full-page ad that appeared in six major newspapers on 1 April 1996, announcing it had bought the Liberty Bell and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called the National Historic Park in Philadelphia where the bell was housed to express their anger. Their nerves were only calmed when Taco Bell revealed, a few hours later, that it was all a practical joke. The best line of the day came when White House press secretary Mike McCurry was asked about the sale. Thinking on his feet, he responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold. It would now be known, he said, as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial. More→
On 1 April 1977, the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement devoted to San Serriffe, a small republic said to consist of several semi-colon-shaped islands located in the Indian Ocean. A series of articles affectionately described the geography and culture of this obscure nation. Its two main islands were named Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse. Its capital was Bodoni, and its leader was General Pica. The Guardian's phones rang all day as readers sought more information about the idyllic holiday spot. Only a few noticed that everything about the island was named after printer's terminology. The success of this hoax is widely credited with launching the enthusiasm for April Foolery that gripped the British tabloids in subsequent decades. More→
The 1 April 1992 broadcast of National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation revealed that Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again." Accompanying this announcement were audio clips of Nixon delivering his candidacy speech. Listeners responded viscerally to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and outrage. Only during the second half of the show did the host John Hockenberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon's voice was impersonated by comedian Rich Little.
The April 1998 issue of the New Mexicans for Science and Reason newsletter contained an article claiming that the Alabama state legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi from 3.14159 to the 'Biblical value' of 3.0. Soon the article made its way onto the internet, and then it rapidly spread around the world, forwarded by email. It only became apparent how far the article had spread when the Alabama legislature began receiving hundreds of calls from people protesting the legislation. The original article, which was intended as a parody of legislative attempts to circumscribe the teaching of evolution, was written by physicist Mark Boslough.
Burger King published a full page advertisement in the April 1st edition of USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version."
The April 1995 issue of Discover Magazine reported that the highly respected wildlife biologist Dr. Aprile Pazzo had found a new species in Antarctica: the hotheaded naked ice borer. These fascinating creatures had bony plates on their heads that, fed by numerous blood vessels, could become burning hot, allowing the animals to bore through ice at high speeds. They used this ability to hunt penguins, melting the ice beneath the penguins and causing them to sink downwards into the resulting slush where the hotheads consumed them. After much research, Dr. Pazzo theorized that the hotheads might have been responsible for the mysterious disappearance of noted Antarctic explorer Philippe Poisson in 1837. "To the ice borers, he would have looked like a penguin," the article quoted her as saying. Discover received more mail in response to this article than they had received for any other article in their history.
During an interview on BBC Radio 2, the British astronomer Patrick Moore announced that at 9:47 AM that day (1 April 1976) a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur. Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, and this planetary alignment would temporarily counteract and lessen the Earth's own gravity. Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment the alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation. When 9:47 AM arrived, the station received hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation. One woman even reported that she and her friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room. Moore intended his annoucement to be a spoof of a pseudoscientific theory that had recently been promoted in a book called The Jupiter Effect, alleging that a rare alignment of the planets was going to cause massive earthquakes and the destruction of Los Angeles in 1982.

It was officially, Mamoru liked Epalm. Even with the knowledge that they'd be fighting soon he still treated them all with respect, as both friends and soon to be rivals. As for Ver and Lysander...well. To him Lysander seemed to be like a puppy tossed into a pound. He was shy and seemed to lack self-confidence; Mamoru worried about him deeply. From what he'd seen, it didn't seem likely that he'd last long, but the bard was human and, if he heard correctly, a priest of the moon goddess; both were known to surprise people. Perhaps Lysander held some great power or skill that he was not aware of that would aide him in the coming battle.
He had mix feelings about Ver, it might be his kirin nature, but he just had the urge to try to eat his face; though the demon had acted in a rather well mannered fashion, even if he took offense to somethings he said. Even when rolling his eyes at Ver's amusement at his unicorn description, while annoying, seemed more playful than malicious in nature. He'd have to try and restrain his instincts during the battle, at least until he found out more about him.
Mamoru fretted over the coming battle; he wasn't all to happy with the ensuing free-for-all. He'd have to hurt people, and given how hard it'll be to tell humans apart from other supernatural creatures, it would be quite hard to keep himself from hurting others too badly. Oddly enough it was Ver who brought a rather important detail to light; unicorn comment aside, it seemed directly aimed at him.
"Rivals indeed," Mamoru grinned with a wry smile as a plan hatched inside his head. "Well, I have a proposition for you gentlemen...if you'd care to listen," He paused for a moment to organize his thoughts before laying out his plan."The trial to come is battle royal, in which only one of use may come out victorious. Granted, with so many other students like ourselves here, it'll be quite the long brawl. However, there is one we can improve are chances dramatically," he took a deep breath to calm his voice.
"I propose an alliance of sorts; we aide each other against the mass of foes we must face, and once their are no other challengers we can then freely test our mettle against each other. By combining our strengths we can shield each ones weaknesses, thus increasing the chances that one of us will be the winner of this little game. So, what do you boys say? he asked in the most sincere tone he could manage. He wasn't quite sure about joining an alliance with a demon, but any aide would be welcome. Besides, if Ver betrayed them or did something of the sort he'd no longer have to struggle against his instincts. In addition he'd be able to keep an eye on Epalm, and perhaps aide Lysander, atleast a little. So in truth it was win-win for him.

Jiu Jitsu Belts
Jiu Jitsu Belts: BJJ Belt
$9.99Belt systems in the martial arts are used to show which students have been trained longer and who has more skill when compared to other students. The concept behind being awarded belts is to give students a physical representation of how they are progressing with their training. Belt ranking systems are a Western concept, although there are some myths about early martial artists starting with a white belt that they didn't wash, one reason why the belts tend to get darker as you progress.

Dear Mrs. Pappenfoht,
I am so sorry I am late for school. You won't believe what happened to me today.
Actually, I am having trouble believing it myself.
Today, like any other day, I woke up in my quiet room. The house was quiet also
because my dad had already gone to work and I always get up before my mom. So, I just
lay there listening to the blissful silence. All of a sudden I heard this horrible sound
outside my door. When I opened the door, I immediately gasped with fright. There in my
living room was a spaceship full of tiny polka-dotted people with black eyes and green
antennas. They rushed toward me and took me into their spaceship. I was so frightened
and yet somewhat intrigued. It must have been the writer in me - enjoying the adventure
to write about later. So anyway, when they closed the door and somehow magically flew
away, I was fully aware of the magnitude of this experience.

The actress had signed up to appear opposite Cruise in the upcoming sci-fi film, but she was also offered the chance to take the lead in Kathryn Bigelow's new drama, which chronicles the real-life search for terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.
Chastain was unable to juggle both movies' schedules and eventually accepted the part in Zero Dark Thirty over Oblivion - and she is glad Cruise reacted well about her choice.
She tells Britain's GQ magazine, "When Kathryn cold-called me, asking whether I would be interested in this role, I was already working on another movie. I'd already signed up for it.
"Tom was actually very gracious about it. I wanted to do both but in the end I couldn't work it out."
Writer Mark Boal is delighted Chastain opted for Zero Dark Thirty, adding, "It's hugely flattering for Kathryn and myself. But from a business point of view, to make that shift happen was pretty challenging. When an actor you want in your film is already signed up with another studio - and with Tom Cruise? Those were really interesting (calls) to make, let me tell you. But Jessica was a no-brainer for us. We are very lucky to have got her."

The 2015 Audi S5 delivers an exceptional sport driving character in a very attractive package, while offering impressive connected tech in the cabin, but its coupe styling limits its practicality.
Although lacking well-integrated connected features, the 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe makes a worthy rival to its European competition, and should be a top consideration for anyone interested in a sport-luxury coupe.
Don't call it an SUV. BMW's 567-horsepower "sport activity vehicle" defies the laws of physics on one of America's greatest race circuits.

Results tagged ' Mary Beth Purdy '
Colorful Browns memories
By Trevor Hayes
Bill Purdy was born and raised in St. Louis. But last week, he and his wife, Mary Beth, experienced what felt like a homecoming in Cooperstown.
For a few days at the Baseball Hall of Fame, Purdy relived a youth spent as close to the big leagues as you can get without being listed in a box score.
Purdy grew up a fan of the St. Louis Browns and by the time he entered high school, they were his obsession. As a catcher during his teen years, Bill was a fan of Les Moss, who caught for the Browns from 1946-53. They shared a similar trait aside from catching.
"He was about as slow as a turtle running the bases, and I wasn't fast either," said Purdy, who supports the Hall of Fame as a Member of the Museum's development program. "But I sure could hit the ball."
It was Purdy's catching ability, however, that dictated his baseball life after 1952. Bill Veeck, who purchased the Browns in 1951, was working to create greater interest in the team. So in 1952, the future Hall of Fame executive held a promotional contest to work as a bat boy for the Browns. Purdy won the contest.
During the middle of the season, the Browns needed someone to catch batting practice, so Purdy started doing that. For the rest of the season, he was the team's bat boy and batting-practice catcher. In 1953, he served as just the batting-practice catcher and also traveled with the team.
As the bullpen catcher, he caught many legends, including the seemingly ageless Negro league great and future Hall of Famer Satchel Paige; an aging Virgil Trucks, who won 177 big league games; Harry Brecheen, who won three games in the 1946 World Series with the Cardinals; Don Larsen, who threw the only perfect game in World Series history; Bob Turley, who went on to win four World Series games, two rings and five pennants with the Yankees; Ned Garver, who won 20 games for the last-place Browns in 1951; and Tommy Byrne, a left-hander and part of the Yankees dynasty in the 1940s and '50s.
Purdy also has one great memory from a trip to Yankee Stadium in 1952. Like the players, Purdy kept his uniform, catcher's mitt and the rest of his equipment in a trunk. The trunks were unloaded from the team's train and taken straight to the clubhouse at the ballpark. Just before the team went to New York, the Browns were carrying three catchers, something the Yankees apparently knew. St. Louis' third-string catcher, however, was sent to the Minors before the team arrived and another catcher wasn't called up — something the Yankees apparently didn't know.
"I'm assuming that the clubhouse man from the Yankees saw my stuff in there and thought I'd been activated," Purdy said. "So they printed the scorecard with my name and number on it. I have it to this day, and it will baffle any historian here, because you won't find my name on the list of active players. But my name is on the scorecard from Yankee Stadium — it's the same scorecard that had Mantle, Berra and Casey Stengel on it."
That scorecard, along with autographed balls and other artifacts — including seat frames from old Sportsman's Park with original Busch Stadium seats in it — are among the memorabilia Purdy still has from his days with the Browns.
But the stories are what he treasures most.
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Pictured from right to left are Brock Wensel (kindergarten), Mitchell Morgan (1st grade), Jayna Johnson (2nd grade), Hailey Tuttle (3rd grade), Mason Zuzek (4th grade), and Braden Doughery (5th grade). Each month the Kane Elementary School is holding a prize drawing for students who complete their read and respond homework. For every week of completed read and respond homework students receive a ticket and chance to win the drawing. The drawing is sponsored by area restaurants that have generously donated certificates for each grade level winner. This month's reward comes from the Colonial.
Dawson Glogau, a second grade student in Mrs. Paula Mosier's class, was inducted into the prestigious AR 100 Club at Kane's elementary school recently. It is certainly understandable why he has had such reading success... he loves his SFA reading class at school. In his spare time, Dawson enjoys playing with his black lab, Abby. Dawson is the son of Heather and Rich Glogau of Kane.
These are the students-of-the-month for March at the Kane Elementary School. The honored students are holding certificates presented by the Kane Elks Lodge. The students include, left to right: 5th grade-- Kelly Eschrich; 4th grade-- Morgan Witherell; 3rd grade-- Zachary Rush; 2nd grade-- Abigail Port; 1st grade-- Raeann Raught; and kindergarten--Isabella Smith.
Second-grader Branden Bentley is the latest student at the Kane Area Elementary School to achieve Accelerated Club 100 status. He poses with the 100th book he read and tested on, "Dogzilla" by Dav Pilkey. In an interview at the school, Branden shared that he really likes fantasy books. Although he is making great success in his reading, he loves playing with friends at recess or playing TV games, as well as eating his favorite dark chocolate cake.
This is the Board of Trustees for the Kane Volunteer Fire Department. The group includes, left to right: Jim Greville, Dave Silvis, Brian Nelson, Zach Holt, Mike Detsch and Matt Rich. Missing from the photo are Leo "Jerry" Geibel, Bill Horton and Tim Lehman (head trustee).
Students-of-the-Month for February have been named at the Kane Elementary School. The group includes, left to right: fifth grade-- Tanner Eastman; fourth grade-- Lindsey McClatchy; third grade-- Dakota Neal; second grade-- Rylee Haight; first grade-- Satene Banks; and kindergarten-- Evan Swanson.
The Kane Rotary Club and Kane Community Hospital held their joint multi-phasic testing on Saturday morning in the St Callistus Social Hall. According to a Rotary spokesperson, approximately 500 area residents took advantage of the opportunity. Ken Zook is pictured here getting his blood drawn by Caitlyn Sturdevant.
Kane school children in kindergarten through fifth grade were able to select their own books to read and keep Friday during a "Read Across America" program at the Kane Elementary School. These second-grade students include, left to right, front row: Angel Banks, Karli Gustafson and Skylar Cook; and standing: Dale Morris, Ricky Zampogna and Branden Bentley. The National Education Association (NEA) promotes the "Read Across America" program each year on the birthday of "Dr. Seuss," the famous author of children's books. Today marks the 109th birthday of "Dr. Seuss."
The Student Council at Kane Area High School sponsored a Blood Drive this week at the school. More than 40 students and staff donated blood. Taking part in the program are Mark Zielewski (left), a donor collection specialist for the Community Blood Bank; and Melissa Lindsay (right), a Kane High School junior who donated blood.Â
Thanks to our community, 78 students in third, fourth, and fifth grade at Chestnut Street Elementary raised $5,272 for the children at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital by participating in the St. Jude's Math-a-thon. In a two-week period, students get sponsors, go online or complete a booklet with over 200 math problems, and collect money from their sponsors.

Next year's budget goals could raise town's tax rate more than $2
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
FARMINGTON — Monday night, Town Administrator Keith Trefethen told the Board of Selectmen a budget for next year is shaping up to be $610,000 larger than expected, which could raise the tax rate as much as $2.10 — a 10 percent increase compared to this year's rate.
"We know we're not going to be able to do it," Trefethen said. "(It's about) what direction do you as municipal officials have to provide to staff for whatever positions need to be reached in the future … That way you can talk to taxpayers and say, 'This is what we intend to do. This is how we are going to get there. And this is the money (needed) … to achieve that goal."
"Some of those goals are going to have to take favor over some of the others," King said. "It will be unfortunate but I don't think the taxpayer can reasonably fund this." |

The College News VoLuin VII. No. 8. BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1920 Price 10 Cents DARK BLUE FALLS BEFORE ONSLAUGHT OF RED FIRST [ 1921 Takes First Game of Finals . after4Fiercely Contested Battle With President Thomas applauding from the side lines, '21 hammered the Junior team for a 3-2 victory in the first game of the finals, last Monday. The passing on both teams was wild, and the game, as a whole, was scrappy. Within the first few minutes of play F. Billstein pushed in the first goal for the Seniors, followed almost immediately by one for '22 by O. Howard. Then for a period, marked by the speedy playing of E. Newell, '21, at half-back, and the strong defense of the Junior fulls and goal, neither team gained until F. Billstein scored her second goal. '22 tied the score almost im- mediately with another goal by O. Howard, and for the rest of the half neither side scored. With the score at 2-2 both teams battled to a standstill in the second half, neither side being able to penetrate the opposing defense for a tally. Then, with five min- utes to play, came the most spectacular play of the game, when E Cecil, dribbling down the field, passed to K. Walker, right inside, for a pick-up goal from the edge of the circle. During this half the splen- did blocking of E. Newell, at left half, and the team work between K. Walker and E. Cecil, backed by W. Worcester, were features of the Red play, while E. Dono- hue, R. Neel and G. Rhodes starred for the Dark Blue. Line-up�1921: E. Cecil, K. Walker,* C. Bickley, D. McBride, F. Billstein,** W. Worcester, E. Cope, E Newell, C. Garri- son, M. P. Kirkland, M. Foot. 1922: E Finch, M. Tyler, C. Baird, O. Howard,** A. Orbison, M. Krecb, B. Clarke, E. Bliss, E. Donohue, R. Neel, G. Rhodes. TO DI8CU8S REORGANIZATION OF ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION Conference November 22nd to 23rd Reorganization of the Alumnae Associa- tion will be discussed at a conference held in Bryn Mawr, November 22nd and 23rd. A special committee of five has investi- gated the Alumnae Associations of other colleges, and will report their findings to a joint committee composed of the Board of Directors of the Alumnae Association, the Chairman of the Finance Committee and the Chairman of the Academic Com- mittee. The members of the Special Com- mittee are: Harriet Bradford, '15, Dean of Women at Leland Stanford University, of California (representing the West); Mrs. George Gellhorn (Edna Fischel, '00), rep- resenting St Louis and District 10; Mrs. Learned Hand (Francis Fincke, '97), rep- resenting New York and the National Committee; Mrs. Robert Walcott (Mary Richardson, '06), representing New Eng- land. The board hopes that Mrs. A. Mor- ris Carey (Margaret Thomas, '89) will be the representative from the Southern Dis- tricts. A meeting of the Executive Board of the Alumnae will be held in Bryn Mawr on November 19th. Vassar Presented French Tank The French Government is presenting a Tank to Vassar College "in recognition of the moral and physical contributions to the cause of the Allies made by Vas- sar graduates during the War," says "The Vassar Miscellany News." One hundred and fifty Vassar alumnae served in France between 1914 and 1914 TAGORE EXPLAINS PHILOSOPHY OF BENGAL VILLAGE MYSTICS RABINDRANETH TAGORE SYSTEM OF LITERAL MARKING ADOPTED BY BRYN MAWR President Thomas explained the new sys- tem of substituting literal for numerical grading in chapel, Monday morning, say- ing in part: "The study of our college grades was made by a Faculty Committee of three (Professor Donnelly as chairman; Profes- sor Kingsbury, and. Professor Tcnnent). This study covered nearly a year, and in- cluded a careful study of the after careers of all our Bryn Mawr European Fellows. It was proved that certain numbers were not used by the Faculty; that among other curious things, for instance, very few of you get the grade of 72, 73, 76. 77, 78. If your work deserves more than 65 the Fac- ulty very naturally Rives you 70, and docs not pay much attention to the numbers like 67 or 68. It is almost impossible to dis- criminate between 75 and 70 (72, 73, or 74), or between 75 and 80. We concluded, therefore, that numerical grading in be- tween the great blocks, such as 60, 65, 70, 75, etc, was worthless. We have now adopted the 'literal system'�Highest Credit, between 95 and 100; H.C. (High Credit), 90 to 94; C. (Credit), 85 to 89; L.C. (Low Credit), 80 to 84; M (Merit). 75 to 79; I. M (Low Merit), 70 to 74; P. (Passed), 65 to 69; L.P. (Low Passed). 60 to 64; P. (Failed), below 60�and here we shall give you a numerical grade to help you to make up your deficiencies. In computing the grades, the office is instructed by the Fac- ulty to count a Low Passed as 62^4, a Passed as 67tf, "M" as 77#, and the other letter grades in like manner Various test experiments have been made by calculating numerically the grades of the first ten Seniors, and the European Fellows, by the old and new system and the results esti- mated in numerical grades seem very much the same. We believe that our new tJSMBl s going to be much more scientific It is (Ctotiaae* ea Pie* $) CLA8S PLAYS VICTORIOUS OVER VARSITY DRAMATIC8 COMPROMISE The Varsity Dramatics compromise was defeated by a vote of 89-54 at the Under- graduate meeting Tuesday night. In speaking against the compromise, V. Lid- dell, '22, argued that class plays could be made as gotxl publicity as a Varsity play, too many skits would be a failure, and dramatic talent was not plentiful enough to support credibly three plays, four skits, and a Glee Club performance. The plan of having college rings instead of class rings was unanimously adopted by the association, in accordance with a mo- tion made by M. Spcer, Junior president. Miss Speer advocated a college ring, be- cause it would be cheaper, would save time and trouple every year, and would be a means of distinguishing a Bryn Mawr graduate outside of college. Students' Building Drive Begin* An active campaign for the Students' Building will be begun immediately in ac- cordance with a motion made by E. Taylor, '21, and passed unanimously by the asso- ciation. Work for the Students' Building was abandoned last year on account of the Endowment Fund, but the plans have been drawn up by Mr. de Forrest, lh) lege architect, and a model of the pros- pective building will lie sent to the college The student fund now stands at $1100. As soon as this reaches $25,000, another $25,000 will be added by the trustees. The Students' Building Committee is: B. Kellogg. '21; P. Smith, '22, and H. Humphries, '25. Reads Their Poems. Brown Robed Indian Contrast to Audience Clad in his brown Bengali robe, with a darker brown turban, Rabindranath Tagore made a picturesque contrast to the American audience who heard his lecture in the gymnasium, Friday evening, on "Vil- lage Mystics of Bengal." He stood apart, not only by virtue of his appearance, his eastern dress, his calm face with the deep, quiet eyes and long gray hair and beard, but by the mysticism expounded in his lec- ture, .foreign to the average western train of thought. His voice was musical, rising and falling in Oriental cadence. The idea of infinite love, made mani- fest in man, underlies the philosophy of the group of ascetic beggar poets, whose teach- ing Tagore set forth. "To be born a man is the greatest privilege given any crea- ture." they say, "because God's will in giv- ing love finds completeness in man's will returning that love�and love is the per- sonal expression of life in all its perfec- tion." They sing, "When shall I meet him, the Man of my Heart ? My longing is to meet you, my beloved; This longing is not only mine, but yours." Primitive man, according to Tagore, be- lieved in gods as forces acting on him from outside. Then the idea of God's immanence developed, tending, however, to become im- personal and abstract. "This conception," he said, "finds votaries only among the intellectual, who do not feel the need of ,l"w and worship." The man who first showed that the per- fection of God, infinite wisdom and love, dwells in every human personality, was Buddha. "To be good is incidental," he taught. "To be good is only to reveal the infinite that lies in the soul." The value (Continued on Page 2) RELATIVITY TO BE 8UBJECT OF DR. AME8 ON SATURDAY NIGHT New Science Club's First Speaker "Einstein's Theory of Relativity" will be the subject of the lecture to be given by Dr. Joseph S. Ames, physicist, who will speak under the auspices of the Science Club, at an open lecture in Tay- lor Hall, on Saturday evening, Novem- ber 20th. N'o admission will be charged. Doctor Ames is head of the depart- ment of physics at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity, and is associate editor of the American Journal of Science and assist- ant editor of the Astrophysical Journal. In 1917 he was a member of the national Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, and as chairman of the foreign service committee of the National Research Council, visited France and England to study the origin and development of �dentine activities in connection with warfare. Doctor Ames is also the author of books on physics, and in collaboration with Doctor Bliss wrote the laboratory text-book in use here at college. Oxford Confers Degrees on Women On October 14th, for the first time in its history, Oxford conferred university de- grees on women I pwards of 59 women students received degrees in the Sheldonian Theatre, and as the degrees were conferred the recipients were loudly cheered. \ WILL DEBATE ON RUSSIAN SOVIET Russian Soviet government is the sub- ject for the next debate on December 1, in which the Debating Club will be assisted by the World Citizenship Com- mittee. The question is worded: "Re- solved, That Soviet government offers the Russian people a better chance for development than they enjoyed during the last ten years of the Czar's reign."

News Volume VII. No. 24.

She is chosen by a committee of the president, the deans, the secretary and registrar, the professor of English, the senior warden and the retiring presidents of the Self-Goifernment, Undergraduate and Athletic Associations, guided by a secret ballot from the Senior class. This prize was won last year by Betty Weaver, president of the Athletic Association. The George W. Childs Essay Prize, a gold watch, is awarded to a member of the Senior �class for excellency in writing; this prize was won last year by D. Pitkin.

Boswell, 1921's European Fellow, won this prize last year. "TRELAWNEY OF THE WELLS" GIVEN BY 1922 TO SENIORS Phoebe Norcross Proves Charming Heroine. Octavia Howard' Stars JANE BURGES ELECTED PRESIDENT OF UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATION Nominations and elections for officers of the Undergraduate Association were made last Monday. Jane Burges, '22, was elected president, and Florence Martin, '23, vice- president Mjd-Yictorian customs and costumes lent amusement and picturesqueness to 'Trelawney of the Wells," by Arthur Wing PineTo, given by .1922 last Friday and Saturday night, at 8 o'clock in the gymnasium. The Saturday performance was a repetition of the traditional Junior- Senior -supper play held the night before. The opening scene, with its hair sofa, red tablecloth, and wax wreath, created admirably the illusion of Victorian medioc- rity, which was soon dispelled by capable and spirited acting. The bright colors of the ladies great hooped dresses relieved the dull settings, and with the men's tailed coats and tall shiny hats led at once into the atmosphere of romance of "ttie nine- teenth centuigr. The lighting effects were very successful through6ut, and especially good in the fourth act, which showed the studio^ of the Pantheon Theatre flooded with bright morning sunlight. ^^f Spirited Acting .by Octavia �'Howard The greatest material aid to the whole play was the make-up, which did much to interpret the characters. In this respect, as in all others, Sir William Gower was most admirable. Miss Howard's interpre- tation of the Vice Chancellor will stand as one of Bryn Mawr's greatest histrionicl successes. The oddities of the irascible old snuff-taking gentleman were the most amusing part of the play, but he called forth pity as well as amusement. Whether Sir William was raging about the- scarcity of "cheers'' in the center of the stage or sleeping in one corner, he held the interest Miss Hobdy, as Tom Wrench, was one of the least humorous and most appealing characters, and was well suited to the part of the thoughtful and winsome-young actor who could pun in his despair and think only of others in his success. His facial expressions and, gestures were noticeably good throughout the play, while his voice was controlled and easy. Miss Anderson, who for the third time on a Bryn Mawr stage appeared as the unhappy lover, managed the change from the awkward, self-conscious young man to the -impetuous and self-possessed actor, and was markedly better in sustaining her acting and in living constantly up to her part than in "Rosemary" or "Rosalind." Arthur was so handsome and so appealing that the audience fell quite as much in love with him as Rose did. Gadd's" appearance alone was enough to call forth laughter, and he always lived up to his appearance. His "acceptance of the part of the Demon of Discontent brought o"ut some of his most furious and most effective acting, and whenever he was silent his "bosom friend" Colpoys was up to some mischief. s Miss Norcross Stars in Title The sweet merryness of Rose was brought out by Miss Norcross, whose ing seemed the most natural. One of the prettiest bits of the play was Miss ,Tre- lawn#>'s response to the toast which gave an opportunity for a snatch of song, "Ever of Thee, I'm Fondly Dreaming." Her interpretation of the change in Rose's 1924 TAKES FIRST PLACE IK PRELIMINARY TRACK MEET of the audience. His voice was well con- -moods reached, her audience, but left {hem, trolled, and even in its bluster could be heard distinctly., i Characters Possess Individuality The cast, as a whole, was well chosen and of a higher general quality tharr last year in "Rosemary," when there was a tendency to rely .too much on the principals. The characters, with definite personalities and individual gestures, and the by-play, so entertaining that at times it detracted from the long speeches, were excellent. In the first act cues might ha^ been picked up more quickly to counteract the uneven quality of the lines. At the supper party, except for the picture made by-Miss Nor- cross responding to her toast and by Miss Anderson's stammering acknowledgment, there was little to inspire good acting. But here the fault lay with the author rather than with the company. Dr. Savage is to be congratulated on being the coach of so successful a performance. perhaps, with a wish that she had been more of a vixen in the second act. The first and third acts were her ^est. Mrs. < i.idcl. nee Avonia Bunn, was quite as lively and amusing as her husband. Miss Burges seemed to enjoy every minute on the stage, and so made her audience enjoy it. Her spirited rendering of "I'm a robber, I'm a thief!" was one of the most delightful spots, and her whole scene with the curling tongs was natural enough to .be even more than funny. Miss Brush a Pleasing Contrast Imogen Parrott, through whom Tom finally got his play staged, was a great and successful contrast to his unaffectedness. Miss Brush showed "Jenny" to be a so- phisticated and determined young lady with a* very good heart under it all. Miss Brush acted consistently, leaving her audi- ence, like the Vice Chancellor, aelighted, (Continued on Page 2) , Raymonde Neel '22 Breaks Record for Throwing*Baseball Taking first place in the preliminary competition last Monday afternoon, 1924 won the first track meet held in two years, with a score of 31 points. 1922 breaking the record for the- baseball throw in the first two places tied with 1921 for second place. R. Neel, '22, established the baseball throw at 189 feet 6 inches. The 75-yard relay, with twenty pcrsdns to a team, a ne\v" event, was won by 1924, who also won the regular 100-yard relay.
