Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER Dec. 18,1962 Seven Day Residents Lucky Thirteen Enjoy Dorm Thirteen may be an unlucky num ber for some people but for a group of resident students it means one big happy family. Because of the new dormitory facilities there are now 13 girls who stay at Coffey Hall on a seven-day basis. They represent six states, a total of 1,295 commuting miles and 50 hours of commuting time one way. This baker's dozen consists of 12 freshmen and one sophomore. Most of the girls first heard of Mundelein through their high school counselors who recommended the school to them. Like Small College From East Chicago, Ind., come Toni Vitelli, Laura Nutini and Lois Mysliwy. Toni is one of the fresh man members of the House Com mittee and Laura is participating in the honors program. The girls like the idea of attending a college in a city larger than their own. The only sophomore in the group is Barbara Hingtgen from Du buque, la. She says Mundelein was recommended to her by her brother who is studying at Loyola. The other two Iowa residents, Ann Ellen Berger and Judy Abbott are from Clinton. Both are members of the Sodality and Young Democrats. Explain Locations Just as some of the suburban commuters are asked to explain the location of their communities, so too, these residents often hear, Where's that? When Judy Ab bott told a student that she was from Clinton, the girl asked, Isn't Iowa near Idaho? Three girls are from Illinois communities. Joan Condon hails from Peoria, Kathy Duskey from Studio Program Spots Collegians In Morley Play Sparks of theatrical glamor will illuminate the eighth floor Jan. 15. Igniting the glow is drama major Patricia Principe's production of The Rehearsal. Second in a series of six-student productions to be presented by Mrs. Lawrence McCarthy's history of theater class, the play will be staged in 808 at 4 p.m. Admission is free. Caricatures Students The situation comedy by Chris topher Morley caricatures six col lege girls, whose attempts to pro duce a tragic Irish pageant results in hilarity. The girls, in spite of their ambition, know little about drama and even less about pag eants. Bonnie Czarnecki will portray Christine, whose lack of brain power is compensated by her beauty. Barbara (Virginia Bishop) finds her role remarkably attuned to her own personality. Gertrude (Ann Bonebrake) is the veteran of the group. Her part in another play put stars in her eyes. Portrays Roles Sonia, played by Margaret Field, is a 100 per cent ham, and has a lot of fun being one. Marjorie's (Rosemary Volpi) en thusiasm for her tasks as stage and prop manager is limited only by her reluctance to dirty her hands. It is Frieda's (Patricia Krog- man) job to blend the talents of the unique troupe. by Maxine Tyma Crete and Pat Schultz from Amboy. Joan is a freshman governor and Kathy is a member of the SAC publicity committee. Both were encouraged by their mothers to come to Mundelein. Pat Schultz's home town, Amboy, is a small farm ing community of 2,000 residents. She lives on a 360-acre dairy farm 130 miles west of Chicago. For Pat, city life is quite a contrast to the farm atmosphere of fields of corn, beans and oats, 70 head of cattle and two horses. Represent Michigan Michigan is represented by Billie Husk from Monroe and Cathie Mc- Lelland from Menominee. Both cities are about 300 miles from Chi cago. Billie, who is also partici pating in the honors program, says that Mundelein was recommended to her by a counselor in high school. Cathie's mother is a Mundelein graduate. Pat Tomczak is from Stevens Point, Wis., a town about 265 miles away. She came to Mundelein be cause of her interest in the theology program. From Akron, O. is Susan Staudt, the oldest of 12 in her family. She was recently accepted into the Ter rapins and belongs to the Glee Club. Enjoy Weekends Just what do these residents do on the weekends? Everything including working, studying, shopping and giving pizza parties. They have been to the Art Insti tute, not only because it was an as signment, but also because all 13 are interested in becoming ac quainted with the city. Some have visited the Prudential building, others have attended current plays. All have experienced the L trip to the Loop for a movie. Leave for Holidays Thanksgiving was the first time that most of these residents had been home. But they agree that the friendliness of the other girls at the college help to make Chicago a home-away-from-home for them. The 13 residents also have another thing in common their enthusi asm for Mundelein and for dormi tory living. Magic Touch Turns Caps, Stamps to Coin Like Aladdin's good genie, Sister Mary Julietta, B.V.M., has a knack for making extraordinary things happen. But it doesn't take a magic lamp to bring her into focus. With out so much as an open sesame, Sister makes her daily appearance at the College book store, and the casual purchaser never suspects the transformations she brings about as part of her daily routine. Since she was knee-high to a grasshopper, Sister Mary Julietta has been a collector. With a little chuckle Sister admits that it's sec ond nature to her, It's just in me Her collecting plus some clever fig uring have brought about remarka ble results. A BRIGHT AND SHINY CROP of Pepsi caps harvested in the Phoenix Room can be turned into dollars when sold for 48 cents a pound. Recently the caps rang up 91 on the bookstore cash reg ister. With a smile, Sister added, We have a few more cartons ready to go. They'll bring in at least 25 more. Turning Pepsi caps into a bonus for the college treasury isn't the only feat Sister manages with her collector's items. Once when Sister beckoned with her twisty red strips from coffee cans, the Hills Brothers Company sent Mundelein two new coffee urns. The twisty tin strips are no longer valuable, but when someone brings a few in, Sister puts them away just in case the day comes when they're worth their weight in urns again. THE THREE ITEMS most likely to help Sister work her spells are green stamps, American Family soap coupons and Pepsi caps. But Sister says there's no taboo on other items. She saves all kinds of stamps and unlike the ordinary philatelist, she is satisfied with the everday four-cent cancelled variety. Coupons, too, go on file until they bring in some needed item for Mun delein or Coffey Hall. Not one to campaign, Sister has made little attempt to publicize her hobby. But two gray boxes, side by side on the display counter, speak for themselves. SEVEN-DAY residents (I. to r.): Pat Tomczak, Laura Nutini, Cathie Mc- Lclland, Billie Husk, Joan Condon, Judy Abbott and Lois Mysliwy sign out with assistant dean of students in residence, Sister Mary Joan Frances, B.V.M., for Christmas vacation. Melancholy Folk Singer ivafes Full House Capti by Marianne Wagner Of all the high praise heaped on Joan Baez, perhaps the most cur rent the Time magazine cover story did more than any other to inform the country that the 21- year-old folk artist is the top rep resentative of her art field. On Nov. 30, Orchestra Hall was filled to capacity to hear this amazing young woman sing. Miss Baez was born on Staten Island. Her English- Scottish mother was the daughter of a min ister; her father, born in Mexico, is a physics professor whose travels take him to all parts of the world. With this background, Miss Baez seeped up the cultures and music of many cities. Compels Audience She has never studied voice or music or folklore. The simplicity and directness of her art are pure Baez. Covering a two-octave range with the same pure, clear tone that is always accurate in pitch, she compels an audience to silence with a voice that is constantly shaded by intensity. Joan Baez is a pleasant change from the commercial groups that depend upon their pre-song banter for audience warming. She uses no gimmicks to capture her hear ers. Only the melancholy air of her songs and the minor key alerts them. After her first two numbers, with late-comers still arriving, Miss Baez excused herself with I'll let these people get seated. And she left the stage to the applause of the on-timers. This is character istic of Joan Baez. At Orchestra Hall she wore her black hair long LITTLE BROTHER MONTGOMERY and his Riverside Recording band fascinated students with the traditional jazz of Dixieland, Nov. 28 in Lewis Center. The Art Club sponsored the program to raise money for Gallery Eight exhibits. Chairmen were Sue Schevers, Barbara Nass, Barbara Jacobs and Betty Arciaga. and straight and her dress was a simple orange shift. She had opinions to give and she subtly gave them. Her gentle protest song, What Have They Done to the Rain?, is an outstand ing anti-nuclear-testing plea. Quips at Grumblers Most unique was her calypso ver sion of the Our Father. But the audience enjoyed participating in The Battle Hymn of the Republic, even though a few grumbled when asked to stand for the song. Miss Baez commented, I can't imagine why people get so angry when I ask that. Could be they lose their dignity by standing. An evening with Joan Baez was an evening well-spent. She soothed with a clear vibrato and sang songs of aloneness which made one delight in being temporarily alone, with her, in mood. She is equally good on record as she is on stage. Her Vanguard recordings supply the Christmas gift for that person who has everything. Contest Seeks Book Collectors The search to find the student with the best personal library in the college has begun. Nomination to the Amy Loveman National Award Committee to compete for the 1,000 prize, plus a gift cer tificate from the book store will be given to the winner in the Munde lein contest based on the National Award rules. Gift certificates will also be given to two runners-up. Entries must be submitted to li brarian Sister Mary Clara, B.V.M., before Feb. 1. An essay on why, how and when the student became interested in building a library, plus the ideals for a complete home library and the ten books she hopes to add to her collection must be covered. The nominee's library must include at least 35 books and while all books must be listed, at least 35 must be annotated. Essays will be judged on knowl edge of books revealed by the an notations, scope and imagination shown in creating the collection, and value of the books in a personal library. Although a student may have won the local contest previously, she may enter again if she is now a senior. - /n .3 ij inn a 1111J The faculty and student body of Mundelein College extend sincere sympathy to Maureen Ryan '63 on the death of her mother, Mrs. Timo thy J., Dec. 6.
