On the -oot-garden of theSrontca.n Hote-l, the Junior Class anda gathering from the three otherclasses watched Elizabeth Metzer,President of the Class, unveil theJunior Mascot. In the center of theroom it stood, throughout the banquet,a bronze figure perhaps a foot or morehigh, of a woman with face raisedupward and arm reaching high. 'I'h epiece, which was purchased fromGorham in New York, is called "Star"and symbolizes that aspiration towhich -the Junior Class sets itself toattain.From the three .mernber-s of the

Mascot Commiltee, Jane Moore, Mar-jorie Smith and Alice Kindler whoheaded the Committee, we heard the'Story of the Mascot. The Mascot wassent from Gorham's to the managerof the Mohican Hotel who k ind ly keptit in the hotel storeroom .un ttt theCommittee decided definitely thatthey wts hed to keep it. It was thentra nsfe rr-ed to the office of Mr. Me-Guire, father of Lorna l\'[cGuire '31,and was br-o ug-ht to the hotel by Mr.'McGuire's partner, Mr. Hull.At the unveiling of the Mascot, tete-

arn.ms of congraturatton rr-om theSenior Class, the Sophomore Class,from Eleanor Fahey '29, president ofStudent Government and YvonneCat-us, ex-member of the Junior Classwere r-ead.

PRESIDENT BLUNT RE-TURNS FR,OMWESTERN

IrRIPEntertainment by Mid-West Alum-

nae interviews with representativepreparatory school principals, talks toprospective C. C. students and a visitto her friends at Chicago Universitymarked the trip President Blunt madeto Chicago a week ago.While there President Blunt met

Miss Elizabeth Alexander the presentchairman of the Chicago chapter.Members of the chapter were enter-tained at a tea given at the home 01:Mrs. Leah Pick Silber '20. and in-eluded the fo:Uowing guests: JeanMundie DeForest '24; Virgina Lutzen-k irkerv '25: Elizabeth Alexander '26;Josephine Arnold '29; Elizabeth Will-iams '29;. Jessie Bigelow Martin '23;and Katherine King Karstake. Dr-.Blunt talked to the group about thecollege development and about theplans for a Student-Alumnae House.She told them of the new arrange-ment of having a !}ermanent AlumnaeSecretary here- at c(}llege.Among the schools in Chicago that

S'end students here Dr. Blunt visitedthe Faulkner Sch'ool, addressing allthe girls there of high school age. Shemet a smaller group at the FrancesParker School who were definitely in-terested in entering Connecticut, andlater she went to the Girls' Latin8<lhool.

Before leaving for Cleveland Dr.Blunt revisited the University and metwith many of the friends she has notseen since she came to New London inSeptember.

In Cleveland President Blunt wasentertained at the horne -of Mrs. Mar-garet Sterling Werntz '26.

The intelligence of t.he group of stu-dents and faculty, including Pres-identBlunt, gathered at the meeting of theEducation Club on Thursday evening,Mar-ch 13, for the demonstration oftvooe of mental tests, was found to beabove t.h e usual college norm. Theexamination given to the group wasthe Otis Self-a.dministering Test andwas the first in a series d-escribed bymembers of the Psychology class inxrental Measur-ements. Only this ex-amination. which was administered byHelen w en '30, was taken by thegroup as a Whole, and showed theaverage score of the gathering to bebetween 62 and 67, whereas the usualnorm for adults is a score of 42 andfor college stude-nts of 53. HelenWeil, however, explained that thegroup present represented a highly se-lected minority. The test demon-strated both innate ability and bright-ness.The examinations which followed

were shaTter and were not adminis-tered to the audience. The first, de-scribed by Gwendolyn Thomen '30,was a test of silent reading to measurehow much the reader comprehendedand at what rate. Edith Walter '30,described the comprehensive clinictests for defective children. The testscover every phase of the child's lifefrom his physical and environmentalbackground to his own moral develop-ment and mental capacity, and are ofmuch use in learning and correctingthe cause of mental disorders. Typesof performance tests, relying as littleas possible on language and uged uponimmigra,nts and illiterate Americans,were described by Dorothy M. BaTrett'30; Lucille Abell '31, illustrated anArithmetic test which discloses weak-ness in training, an Army Alpha Test,and a Maz.e Test. Examples of apti-tude and vocational guidance tests, in-dicating professional ability ratherthan intelligence, were given by Lillian

ALCESTE CONGRATU·LATES GERMAN CLUB

ON PLAYScenery and Music Es-pecially CommendableOn March 14th, at 8 p . m., the

German Club presented a moderndrn.mattaatton of Ortrnm'a fairy tale,Die Zrt'/(I1I;:Il'rl Bellllltt'. Max Gumbel-Setttne, the author of this dramatiza-tion, Is a fervent disciple of the wide-spread and powerful "youth move-ment" of Germany. He has been de-voting his efforts largely to the re-vtvat of old German cultural values.His presentation on th-e stage of oldnational storencn illustrates one ofthe most attractive phases of his ac-tivity, an activity which aims to off-set what he considers the r-eerettabtevogue of the moving pictures.Through the efforts of Marion

Ransom, the play had been well ad-verttsed. so that the audience, gath-ered tor- the occasion in our collegegymnasium, was remarkably large.To give a. pei-tcrmance in a fm-el'g n

Language is no simple matter. It maybe assumed' that a considerable pro-portion of those present do not under-stand that language; yet, they mustbe entertained. Besides, the charac-ters are chosen from a- single depar-t-me nt, sometimes small, in which itmay well happen that the best stu-dents show little dramatic talent. Letus then approach the effort of theGerman Club in the light of thesemete.

It would be difficult to imagine abetter choice of play. The subject,delightful in itself, was generallyknown, and opened a rtch field to theimagination of those entrusted withscenery and costumes. Jane Burgerunderstood fully her opportunitiesand, in t h.t-ee different settings, of-fered thr-ee feasts to the eye. Themushroom dwelling of the ForestWoman, the modernistic trees of theMagic Garden, the gold d rapei-y andthe alcove effect of the King's pal-ace, showed striking fancy, taste andreal artistic tntentgence. The light-ing, under the direction of ElizabethG. Johnson, was correct, and set offto good advantage the compositionsof Miss Burger. So did the music,off stage, delicate, tenuous, andworthy of fairy princesses. ('l'he waltzpraised by musicians in the audience,was composed by Loretta Murnane).The costumes harmonized beautifullyamong themselves and with the differ-ent backgrounds. so that the successionof pictures would have been beyondcriticism, had not one noticed a cer-tain bareness in t.h'e masculine attire.Oh, 1 know: tights a.re expensive andthe treasm'y was eInlPty; but wouldyour brothel'S go to court in doubletand hose minu9 the hose? Theywould not! Neither did the princesof YOI'e.Amidst this exquisite riot of colors,

lights .tnd lines, how did the artistsspeak and act?The model of elegant, well-articu-

lated and well-modulated German wasgiven by Miss Schultze, whose na-turaln-ess and inborn enthusiasm,greatly contributoo to the liveliness("Schwung") of the whole.For the best German among the

students, we would like to present thepalm to Miss Schneider, Miss Lang-hammel', and Miss Pennock.For the most satisfactory combina-

tion of good acting and good German,(Oontinued on page 3, column 3)

Meet-ings, whistles, excited sophomores,mysterious juniors-all creating an at-rnospher.e of fine fun and enjoymentfor the two classes concerned, and atthe same time an eager anticipationon the part of the freshmen of theirshare in this activity which will comein one short year.

It brings thememoors of each class into 'Closerconnection with each other. It uni-fies the scattered crowds into one biggroup. And more important still,through the activities of Mascot Hunt,the sophomores and juniors come intocontact with each other in new anddifferent ways, thus having an excel-lent opportunity to get well acquaint-ed. But, most of all, it is fun andadventure and excitement, all wrappedup in one big thing which will help usto remember always the fine and joy-ous times that four years' of collegecan bring.

Dear Editor:I cannot refrain from mentioning a

Just a Sh01't time ago, one ofthe players on the sophomO!'e basket-ball team left her watch in the lockerroom while she was playing, and hasbeen unable to find It since.I wonder if these people who help

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

PROMISI G POETLIVING IN NEW

LONDONNew London Is just awakening to

the fact that a noet of rare promiselives in its midst. Some one in NewLondon has discovered Ruth IrvingConner, Ilv-lng- qutet ly. "unhonored andunsung", In her own community. Sheis in the position of man)" anothergifted soul whom the far parts of thecountry have been more ready to a.p-nrectare than her nauve town. Fiveyear-s ago she was unknown to thepublic, onty her rrten 1s occasionallyenjoying her gift. and not by anymeans nnprecraung it fully. For atrue gift it is-that of putting herthoughts and rmnresstcns into ex-quisite verse.During the summer months she

makes her home on a bank of theNiantic Riv~r. where she has whatshe calls a studio camp. It is situ-rued in one of nature's beauty spot9--a. place to delight the eye and satisfyt he soul. Here, no doubt, away fromthe city's noise and conruslon, she re-ceives much of the Insph-auon for theverses she sends out that appeal sost r-cng-ly to the heart of the reader.'rnere is close communion with na-ture suggested in one poem where shesings of "wtnds that dance th r-oug-hyoung rushes. winds n-etgh ted withfragrance and May.'Ruth II'\'ing Conner's songs deal not

so orten with the obviously hel'oicthings of llfe as with the ordinarythings that surround us day by day.The more commonplace the object orvirtue, the more c6.I'tainly she investsit with a glory not found on earth.It is plain that she sees the spiritualsignifiC.'lnce about daily living thatescapes the attention of the averageperson.She is New England born and, bred,

and claims as an ancestor, StephenHopkins, eighth signer of the Declara-tion of Independence. She is also adescendant of the family of Washing-ton Irving.Although her native town goes on

its way unaware of her j)l"esence,tributes to her gif't come to her frommany of the far parts of the country.l<'L'omLos Angeles came to her re'-cently, a message 1)I'nising her poem,!Jnd /Jis the Glory. The writer says,"It has touched my soul. 'l~hank y'ouf'ot' the spil'it of' Him of Whom weoften say, 'And H;s the Glory'" Thispoem was published in The Pcrsol1alillt,JUly 1923, and the editor says of her,"She sees dee-ply into life." Othereditors speak favorably of her depthof feeling, the depth of coloI' and theadroitness of her manne-I' of express-ing herself. Even better work thanshe has done is expected of he.r.Ruth Irving Connel' is a membe'f of

The Contributor's Club, AmericanLitera.ry Association, and Order ofBookfellows. Her work has appearedin '1'fte Lyric, A IItcricon Poetry J1oga-zinC', Jltdge, OaselnUlts, Ncw York T"ibltlle,C'hristial~ Register, Girl's World, Boston8rmday Posl, Kismet, and Stevladder, as\\...el1 as 'l'lie Personalist.Perhaps the most heart warming

praise COnles from the editor of 1'lteJ,yric. He says, "Hel' work is of ahigh type and shows a depth of feel-ing rare today. Her chief charm isthat she wl'ites in a style that differsfrom that of th.e mass of poets who,like soheep, are following the line ofleast l'esistance. I am glad we werethe first to recognize her ability."

Dr. Frank E. Morris, Professor ofPhilosophy, has a new car!

W-e think the mascot is wonderful!It is just our idea of "Attainment"(after four years of Physical Dduca-tion! )

From close observation the elevatorboys at the Mohican deserve a greatmany thanks. But we think the mostchunks go to the kind gentlemanwho so ably caa-rted "Attainment"right into the banquet room. Whatcould a poor Hare do?

Anyway the songs are swell-al-though the Sophomores se-em to bea little wavering. The hunt will nodoubt be very exciting and one of theclasses will no doubt win.

Junior song leader:"we will now sing, "When the ivy

clings to Dr. Lteb."

One of the more cheerful items inNews every week is the sicl{~list fromthe Infirmary. It even sounds al-ii-active.

This is a gem from the past. Itseems a g'I'r l in Dr. Lawrence's classhanded in a bar of music instead of

the daily qutaa. The paper came backwith "Melody in F" wr-itten j on it.

The way the Freshmen shake theLibr-ar-y when they pound on theirhistory maps is really dangerous. Atleast they should cherish the build-ings.

·We hear that the latest fad is play-ing basketball to music. Heel-toe--and a basket: Step-slide--und atoss-up! Graceful it may be, butreally!
