Chris topher Morley has written the preface. The set of pictures, one of which is autographed by Mr. Kent, will be on dis play at the Catholic Library Association meeting here on Dec. 28 and 29. A.M. to P .M. j JINGLE BELLS Also Silent Night And the smell of Christmas cookies on the fourth floor, and the marionnette show, which included some pre-Christ mas embarrassment for one of the un derclassmen on the reception committee. Pre-planning had provided for a barrage of French with which to greet the Loyola delegates, but the obvious Parisian grooming and an actual intelligent French glint in the eye set our receptionist in a dither net result, two Loyola gentlemen being pursued (for a purely academic reason) half way down the corridor with a surprised Bon Jour after the Munde lein madamoiselle had recovered. Would that more of our Northern friends had the happiness and delight of the Munde lein population at heart Would that Santa Claus would make them all like the Debate club and the French we're putting a circle around Jan 13 CVEN THOUGH Irene Waldron is ' ' roaming around wearing huge pig skin footballs as sweater motifs, she has another claim to fame tending in a Girl- Scoutish rather than a Fighting-Irish direction. Her little brother at Armour Tech has been made happy forever by Irene's winning of the poster prize. How ever, it was his publicity rather than his sister's artistry that has raised him to ecstatic heights. It seems that a recent issue of the Armour Tech paper carried a front-page story about our prize-win ning posterite, subsequently mentioning that Brother Waldron attended Armour. And now Irene is the victim of doors- held-open, shoes-briskly-shincd, and hon eyed-sister-phrases. Evidently cooking is no longer the prize weapon in the hand of woman-kind the way to any man's heart (even a brother's) is through a splash of printer's ink. CVER SINCE we read an education ' ' text on vocational guidance, we have been scrutinizing our friends for possible concealed aptitudes. Any number of our acquaintances present possibilities, but our beautiful, golden-haired angel-of-the- Glee-club program ( Yet earth saw one thing, one how fair . . . She had her great gold hair. Browning), Betty Kreuzer to you, has a positive flair for making gold-fish faces. Should she ever abandon her brushes and paints, she need have no fear of unemployment. Just one demonstration of her facial skill will have all good aquarium keepers on her trail, with bankers' hours and brokers' salaries all ready for the asking. pF.RHAPS it's the Christmasy display of gifts in the bookstore lounge, or the pine-smelling Christmas tree gracing the fore of the press room, or maybe it's the announcement of the Mundelein Alumnae Formal on Dec. 28, but what ever it is, the bless-you-my-children spir it hovers round, so Merry Christmas and a Happy Nezv Year all before Jan. 4. Quest Volume V Off Press Today (Continued from page 1, column 4) Tale, a choric drama written for the Verse Speaking choir; an April sonnet by Virginia Woods; a lyric on ships; a collection of Juvenilia by Emer Phibbs Ditchfield; and Japanese forms by Gloria Barry. Irene Waldron is responsible for the frontispiece, and other illustrations are contributed by Rosemary Walsh, Lucille Palmgren, Lilian Krez, Virginia Gaert ner, Betty Kreuzer, Mary Elizabeth White, Clemence Bisson, Florence Hay- ward, Lorraine Prendergast, Ellen Birn baum, Maurita Kelly, and Sister Mary Josella.
