THE SKYSCRAPER Greens Carry Off Basketball Championship WINNING TEAM HAS LEAPOF TEN POINTS . ing swept aside all opposition, the/Green team won the first of the tw/i tournaments that Miss Marshall is'sponsoring this year. The games took place on March 10 and 11, in the college gymnasium, six teams being entered. If you remember, these teams were formed in the various sports classes and the members of each chosen im partially, so that the talent on each would be about average. Each team chose a captain and a color, and as many as wanted to entered the tourna ment. Six teams entered, and, when the list was posted, it was seen that they were Pink, captained by Evelyn McGowan; Dark Blue, led by Catherine Russell; Light Blue, with Clementine Paloney as pilot; Tan, guided by Mildred Hora; White, directed by Helen Daly; and Green, with Evelyn Lincoln as cap tain. The tournament proceeded by means of elimination and, as the public draw ing which took place Tuesday, March 8, at twelve o'clock, gave the Tan and White teams byes, the first two games were between the Pink and Dark Blue and the Green and Light Blue teams. The Pink team took the Blue into camp by the exciting score of 19-14, while the Green team, by clean-cut passing and excellent guarding, won their game easily, the score being 26-6. The second round brought together the Tan and Pink and the White and Green teams, the Pink team again winning by a narrow margin of five points, the score standing 18-13, and the Green team again piling up an im pressive lead to beat the White team 25-3. The final game saw the winners of both divisions meet in one of the fast est and most furious games of the tourney. Irene Lavin, center on the Green team and one of its outstand ing stars, led the Green forwards down the floor, time after time sink ing spectacular shots or sending the ball to a less closely-guarded team mate. An outclassed but stout-hearted Pink team fought on courageously, but the fast increasing lead of the Green team, coupled with the discouraged feeling that comes when the ball continuously rolls around tbe rim of the basket and then jumps out, was too much for them and when the final whistle blew, the score read 21-11. Miss Marshall is to be commended on the excellent showing of all the teams and the fair and impartial way in which she conducted the tourna ment. The line-up for the final game was as follows: Green Pink E.Lincoln (Capt.).R. F.E.MeGw'n (Capt.) C. Alexander D. F B. J. Agnew I. Lavin C. F M. Dwyer V. Murphy P G G. Dooner M. Wenigman L. G T. Alcxopolis P. Duzeski C. G P. Madison Substitutes: Green M. E. Buchanan, M. Mahoney. (Continued from page 1, column 4) Black, red, and silver, the club colors, were combined in the decorations to produce a most lovely effect. After breakfast toasts were introduced by Helen O'Gara, president of the club. Lenore Healy, a senior in the School of Speech, voiced the appreciation of the entire group to the president and faculty of the college for the inspir ing support and cooperation shown them in their activities. Eleanor Joyce gave a toast to the club moderator, and Annamerle Kra mer pledged the loyalty of the organi zation to Mundelein College. The pledges next received a toast, given by Clare Allendar, and Sallie Agnes Smith responded in their name. In the Little Theatre on the eight floor, the reception of pledges took place by candlelight. As each pledge promised to maintain the spirit and promote the activities of the society, she entered her name on the membership roll and received her beautiful black-and-gold Laetare pin. The peak of enthusiasm was reached, however, when the awards were given. The Golden Rose, award ed by vote of the club to the Laetare Player most outstanding in dramatic work, was received by Eleanor Joyce. Pins were next distributed to mem bers who had fulfilled the require ments for entrance to the Honorary Dramatic Society. Carlene Futter, Leonora Stahr, Penelope Halouluos, and Mary Nicholson were thus hon ored. W.A.A. Receives Members Socially The usual terrors of initiation, followed by the pleasures of refresh ments and entertainment, marked the welcoming of seventeen pledges into the Women's Athletic Association, Wednesday, March 2, in the college gymnasium. Blindfolded, and wearing their gym nasium suits, the pledges were led up and down stairs, and through tortuous ways by the regular members, who sometimes forgot to tell their charges that they were walking into a wall. After other initiation stunts, the members of the W. A. A. took pity on the pledges and entertaned them with a clever little pantomime play in which all the actors died or were killed more or less picturesquely, to the cheers of the audience, and a series of charades in which hiking, tennis, basketball, and soccer were acted out and the audience invited to guess which sport was being panto mimed. Refreshments, consisting of iced cakes, ice cream, and candy and nuts in fancy baskets, were then served, while the pledges tried to get ac quainted with everyone present. When the afternoon was about over, Mary Lyon, president of the W. A. A., lined up newcomers and administered the pledge of loyalty to them. The group then disbanded to go home to more or less belated dinners. The seventeen new members of the W. A. A. are Betty Jane Agnew, Theo dora Alexopolis, Grace Allen, Mary Bruce, Rosamond Carney, Mary Domes, Marie Durburg, Irene Lavin, Antoinette Longo, Virginia Meagher, Vivian Murphy, Pauline Madison, Clementine Paloney, Helen Piper, Mar garet Scannell, Margaret Rice, and Dolores Schanken. Girl Scout Course Planned For April A five-day course in Girl Scout leadership will be given at Mundelein College, April 11 to 15, under the direction of Miss Madeline W. Gam mon, Chicago Local Girl Scout Direc tor. The instructions, which will include games and directions for the passing of the various class tests, will be given in the gymnasium in the afternoons. Any student may enroll in the course and on the last day the officers of the Mundelein Girl Scout Club will be officially installed and those students who have passed the tenderfoot tests will be received. Those of the students who took the course in Girl Scout Leadership con ducted last spring by Miss Anna Roos, are enthusiastic for further work in that line, and a number of new stu dents are expected to enroll this year. Who's Who Eleanor Joyce's excellent work in dramatics merited the Golden Rose this year, the highest award for service given by the Laetare Players on Lae tare Sunday. We shall never forget Eleanor as the fairy godmother, ex quisitely dainty and beautiful, in the House of Life last year. Eleanor seems to be a capable financier, too, for she was treasurer of the junior class last year, was re-elected this year, and she has held the same office in the Laetare Players for the past two years. She is majoring in Speech, and she has directed a number of plays at Angel Guardian Orphanage, of which institution she is dramatic coach. We might predict an excellent future for our quiet but quaintly hu morous little senior, either in dra matic work on the stage or in coach ing. Although she is very small, we are sure that Doris Barnett bears out the saying that good things come in small packages. Doris, who comes to us from Northwestern University, is a junior, and an active one too. First of all, Doris ranks with our literary lights and she is Catholic Action editor for the Clepsydra, to which she has also contributed some lovely verse. She is a member of the Stylus Club, and an active socialist, and she is moreover secretary of the Student Ac tivities Council, and a member of the Junior Prom committee. She is a good student, too, and always makes the Honor Roll. Doris is majoring in English and hopes to continue her studies after taking her Bachelor's degree, and eventually to be a writer. Mary Loyola Hogan came to us from De Paul last year, and was immediate ly chosen president of the sophomore class. Having proved her capability, she was re-elected this year, and she has been the gracious hostess at all the sophomore gatherings. When thoughts of the Junior Prom were abroad, they were immediately linked with thoughts.of Mary and as a result she is Prom chairman, a position of honor and of responsibility, we think, and we wish her much success in the undertaking. Mary is majoring in sociology. Telegraphic Swim Held Races Monday Mundelein students were in the swim Wednesday afternoon, March 16, when they participated with vari ous collegiate swimmers of the middle west in the Telegraphic meet spon sored by the University of Wisconsin. The results of the races, run off in the home pools of the various col leges entered, were telegraphed to Madison and returns are expected within the next few days. The first race, a forty-yard front crawl, resulted in a tie between Elaine Krambles and Jean O'Connor, who covered the distance in 26 seconds. The forty yard backstroke was won by Vivian Murphy in 35.1 seconds. Lucia Mazurik, using the breast- stroke, took just 37 seconds to swim forty yards. Pauline Duzeski, Louise Goebel, Lu cia Mazurik, and Jean O'Connor gained the enthusiastic applause of the spec tators for their splendid diving exhi bition. Methods of life saving were demonstrated by Irene Lavin, Jean O'Connor, Vivian Murphy, Pauline Du zeski, Elaine Krambles, and Dolores Schenken. The interclass teams, comprising the beginners, intermediates, and ad vanced swimmers, caused not a little amusement with cracker, balloon, and lighted candle races. Mary Jane Sul livan acted as master of ceremonies, her ready wit adding much to the success of the meet. Talks on Social Service Miss Agnes Von Driel, of the Loyola Graduate School of Sociology, addressed the students at 11 o'clock on Thursday morning, March 3, choosing as her subject the field of Social Service. Miss Von Driel, speaking from her own experience, outlined rather defi nitely the various types of work open to the social worker, and gave in ad dition the necessary preparatory work required. Her historical discussion of the field, brief though it was, illus trated the development of this admir able profession since the time of the medieval charity organizations. (Continued from page 1, column 31 ing which brought out to the fullest degree the genius of his soul. He con tinued his studies in Paris, and when Avarroes, the Arabian philosopher, at tempted to disprove the Aristotelian doctrine of free will, he, by quoting from the same source, defended with such remarkable clarity the Church's stand on this fundamental point that he merited the approval of the Chris tian world. His works are unquestionably the most comprehensive treatment of philosophic thought ever written. In Father Mahowald's simple, yet thor ough, discussion of them, however, the impenetrable profundity which one or dinarily attributes to them was absent. Briefly he outlined the causes for and teachings of the Summa Contra Gen tiles, an apologetic treatise in defense of Catholic philosophy. Then, not to omit the decidedly artistic aspect of St. Thomas' mind, he discussed the magnificent hymns and sequences, no tably the Pangua Linguae, the Lauda Sion, and the eternally beautiful Panis Angelicas. In connection with this point, Father brought out the remark able modesty of the man, and the purity of his own religious ideal, which alone prompted him to assemble his vast work in philosophy. The culminating work of St. Thomas, his Summa Theologica, a compendium of all philosophy, composed of thirty- eight treatises, skilfully refutes the fallacies of heretical systems and for cibly demonstrates that the Catholic The Last of the Fianna A legend of St. Patrick and the Celtic heroes. By Emer Phibbs The high road to romance is a long and winding one. It reaches through the dreams of old and new lands, to all peoples, to all times. Somewhere on the way of the ages it curves about the storied country of the Gaels. When an adventurer of the road comes to the magic circle it describes outside Ireland, he must go around and around in it before he will be content to leave it at all. In his first circling he will be cap tivated by the humor and sorrow of the Celts, and the next time he will see the glory and the faith of them, and after that there is no recovering him for a long time because he will be tangled happily in the poetry, the mysticism, and the misty beauty of Dark Rosaleen. The Knights of the Red Branch be come his legendary heroes, the Fianna of Ireland are his super-fighting men, the saints and scholars will be his con stant source of;wonder, and then he will hear the story of Oisin and Pat rick and he will love it dearly. In the lovely and brave days when Finn, the son of Cumbal, was the great king of Ireland and the leader of a gallant band of warriors, there was bravery and fame known in the island. The days then were spent in hunting the spotted deer, in fighting mighty bat tles, and in living in a love of nobil ity and beauty and music. And one day when Finn was follow ing the hounds, a maiden from the Country of the Young, which is fairy land, came to the king and told him of her love for his son, Oisin of the Strong Hands. And Oisin, when he saw the beauty of the fairy king's daughter, loved her much. He went forth with her to the shining King dom of the Sea where the trees were heavy with blossoms and there was no other thing but joy. It was long years that Oisin lived with his wife, Hiamh of the Golden Hair, and it was happy he found life in that far land; but he desired to see once more his father and the Fianna. And Hiamh gave him leave to return, but she cautioned him not to set foot on land, but to stay mounted on the white horse that should carry him to Ireland, for if he were to set foot on human earth he would feel the weight of all his years upon him, he would become separated from the everlasting youth of the Enchanted Country, nor would be ever see it again. And Oisin came into Edrenn with the strength and the beauty of his youth. But there were none to greet him. The Fianna were legends to the people there, the dun of his father was covered with nettles, there was nothing left but a stone trough the heroes used to be using, and when Oisin saw that, he reached for it, he touched the ground, and his youth de parted from him. It was an old man the servants of St. Patrick found, with his eyes dimmed and his strength gone. They brought him to St. Patrick's house and there the great Bishop himself re ceived him and baptized him. But it was lamenting for his friends that Oisin was wont to be. It was often that he told his story to grave Patrick, and repeated the lost glory of his race. And Patrick spoke often to Oisin of heaven that was more glorious than the Fianna, and of God who was stronger, and of hell, where Finn and Osgar might be doomed. But still did Oisin mourn and declare to Patrick that the Fianna should not be pun ished, for their lives had been noble and generous and high-spirited. It was great his lamenting was for the feasts and the harps and the learning, and the games and the generosity that were the happiness of his friends. Then said Oisin to St. Patrick, I am the last of the Fianna, great Oisin, son of Finn, listening to the voice of bells; it is long the clouds are over me to night. BRAVEHEART TELLS OF INDIAN CUSTOMS Braveheart, an educated Indian of the Clallam tribe who has done re search work among the various tribes of North America for the past ten years, gave an interesting lecture on the primitive ceremonies and prehis toric legends of the Indians in the United States, Wednesday afternoon, March 2. Displaying charts with representa tions of the Indian forms of commu nication in practice before the coming of the white man, Braveheart told of the origins of the five Indian lan guages. After giving the various theories about the original dwelling place of the Indians, he reiterated the assertions of many Indian chiefs that they are a native race of America. He substantiated this theory by telling of rock writings in the Pacific Northwest picturing dinosaurs and a pictorial story of the capture and death of an ancient monster which has been unearthed. (Continued from page 1, column 5) The scene of the first was Caphar- naum; the escutcheon read, Behold Thou dids't call me, and in answer to the call one saw Samuel, Moses, St. Catherine of Siena, St Teresa, all following and receiving strength and nobility and joy. The second picture was of Behlehem on the first Christmas night. Gazing down into the depths of the Crib one found the words I serve, and re alized that service is the biggest thing in life and that the vows of religion bind one to the highest type of service. The third scene, laid in the hearts of all men, was symbolized by the words, As much as I can. In con clusion, Father Mertz said that the two essentials for religious lite are: first, intellectual and moral equip ment; second, the willingness to live it. The Reverend Jerome V. Jacobsen, S. J., talked on the married state at a special assembly on Tuesday morn ing. Father Jacobsen first defined vo cation as a call to or a certain fitness for a particular occupation. He then explained that marriage is recognized by the Church as one of the vocations, and he read the solemnly beautiful marriage ceremony of the Catholic Church which includes a recital of the duties and responsibilities of that state. Three things are necessary. Father said, before one should enter it preparation, consideration, and de cision. 'If unhappiness does result, Father declared, it is not the fault of God, nor of the sacrament, for each is per fect, but it is the fault of one or both of the parties concerned, who must have failed to observe the three pre liminaries. The lecture was followed by an open-forum discussion by the students of Loyola and Mundelein. position is the only one reasonably tenable. His theme, which Father dis cussed briefly, that God is the begin ning and end of all beings, especially man, he divides into three sections. In the first he discusses God himself, and as Creator; he then treats God as the end of man; and concludes with Christ as the special way to God. His style is noted for its accuracy in quotation and expression. He was extremely complete in his treatment and his method is clearcut. His im portance is due not only to his inher ent genius, but also to the marvelous opportunities which the century pro vided. In a word, Father Mahowald de clared, his was a perfect synthesis of reason and faith. He himself ex presses it in these words: I believe that I may understand, and I know that I may believe. That the impor tance of his philosophy was recog nized from the beginning and that his arguments cannot be ignored even by his opponents, Father Mahowald proved from historical evidence, lead ing up to the admission the Will Du- rant, the story-teller of philosophy, that Thomas ranks with the world's ten greatest thinkers. Thomas Aquinas came to life in the words of Father Mahowald. He who has been a misty figure of the Middle Ages to many of us, took on the pro portions and the human aspect of a man among men, and his humanity but adds to the tribute exacted by his genius. At the close of the lecture the Col lege Glee Club, from the balcony of the auditorium, sang the exquisite Panis Angelicus, and Father Maho wald officiated at solemn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
