As the strains of The Things We Did Last Summer strike a nostalgic chord for returning students, so par ticular memories of vacation pleasan try linger well on into the school year. North, South, East, and West beck oned as Mundelein joined the tourist parade. Go West young man, said Hor ace Greeley, so, obediently, out to the sunny coast of California went Mary McNally, Betty Cadwell, and Mary Ann and Grace Trauscht. West was not quite so far for Charlotte Pryan, who visited Yellowstone National park, or Loretta Neff, who spent the sum mer at Glacier National park. Scholastic Bettemae Callan and Eliz abeth Bliss spent six weeks at the Uni versity of Colorado and literary Agnes Reiter attended the Writers Confer ence at the University of Notre Dame. Ballet I R U? Rosemary Burns, Theresa Schillaci, and Angela Anzalone sunned them selves at Miami Beach. Other va cationers down in Florida were Joan O'Brien, Phyllis Wolf, Sandra Ver- tenten, Rosemary Boscamp, and Mary Anne Kinnavy. Joan Cahill represented Mundelein at the Sodality Summer School of Catholic Action at the Morrison Hotel. Jeannine Campbell, Maureen O'Toole, Ann Llewellyn, Kathryn Murphy, and Rosemary Rapp visited the largest city in the United States when they spent a week's vacation together in New York. The largest state in the United States, Texas, was visited by Helen Stewart. Customs didn't prevent Anastasia Tsoutsouris, Catherine Keane, Patri cia Mulroy, Frances O'Donnell, and Sheila Corcoran from vacationing in Canada, but the officials were probably more troublesome to Mary Frances An derson, Eileen Meind, and Gloria Ko waleski who visited Europe. Ballet I R TJ? The Saugatuck art colony included Judy Prendergast, Maureen Williams, Mary Clare Bowman, Rosemary Wo- jak, and Patricia O'Neil. Also attracted to Michigan soil was Joan Garrow, who visited Detroit.

The show went on Sept. 21 and 22 for Melita Lynch and Jean Martin when they played the roles of the Witch and the Cowardly Lion in the Oak Park Players presentation of The Wi zard of Oz. The renowned shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre in Canada was an awe-in spiring sight to Marian Gleason, Pa tricia McHirgh and Susan Doyle, and Rio de Janeiro looked as good as home to Irene Johnson.

While the Pope was learning about her college from Miss Kowaleski. Mary Fran ces Anderson, and Eileen Meindl were learning of Russian-controlled East Ber lin, as members of the NSA tour.

Ballet I R U? Star Qazing With a Purpose . . . Faculty Astronomer Does Research On Structure of Universe Sister Mary Therese, B.V.M., chair man of the Physics department and only Sister in the United States who holds a doctor of philosophy degree in astron omy, cooperated with other astronom- i ers at Mt. Wilson-Palomar Observa tory, during the summer, in research work on the structure of the universe. The theory that there are two different types of stellar populations in the earth galaxy was proposed by astronomers there in 1944. According to this theory, the stars arc grouped into either Population I or Population II, depending upon their brightness and the nature of the region in which they are found. Population I consists of exceedingly bright young jtars which are surround ed by a dense region of interstellar material, while Population II is made up of older stars that have used up the encompassing interstellar matter. The task undertaken by Sister Mary Therese was to extend the application of the theory to galaxies lying beyond the one in which the earth in included. For this purpose plates taken of the Andromeda nebula with the 200-inch telescope were employed and the results supported the theory.
