Santa Claus Has Come for Dinner If we didn't know that it was the Christmas season, one glimpse at the results of the centerpiece projects of the art and design class in the home economics department would have con vinced us. American industry will not suffer for lack of beauty and origin ality so long as students can whip up out of literally nothing decorations which would grace anyone's table. We took to our hearts immediately the chubby, jovial snow men made from white glassips, of all things, by Helen Walz and Patricia Tubby. Lois Forman and Margaret Bromley used the same material, cellophane, to make a huge snowball topped with a red satin bow. Candle-sticks to match complete the centerpiece, which is to be used for their sorority's tea. Cherubim and seraphim are preferred by Patricia Herbert, Joyce Frankel, and Virginia Finan. The angels they have created from pastel paper and gilt may fear to tread, but will gracefully poise on radio or dining room table. But you'd believe in Santa Claus if you could see the lovable ones made by- Alice Morrissey and Eileen Wolfe. Not fauna, but flora inspired Betty Jane McCambridge, Mary Lou Choate, and Helen Kelly, whose poinsettia, blue fleurs, and Christmas tree give a defin itely Yuletide air. There are many, many other centerpieces, like the one made by Gloria Dolan. who borrowed her theme from the stars, Helen Bie- lawa, who centers hers around a red candle, the Light of the World, and I.aurentia Powers' three merry snow men, who have a clean and caroling look. Organists Play Holiday Numbers All the selections played by the Organ Guild at a recital on Dec. 17 in the audi torium were apropos to the Christmas season. Familiar favorites were Silent Night played by Bonnie Mac Dicbold; Little Town of Bethlehem, a duo by Mary Rita Brady at the organ and Betty Ann Yun ker at the piano; Adeste Fidelis, Angela Voller's selection: and Coming of the Magi, played by Beverly Craggs. Other participants were Mary Louise Gulick who opened the program with Christmas Joy; Bonnie Turner, who played Christmas Offertory; Rosemary Viglione, whose selection was Christmas Pastorale; and Mary Elizabeth Wolfe, who played O Holy Night. Rosalie Wiora, Jane Claire Brown, Gomer Ann McMahon, and Barbara Frick also took part. Fingers on Keys Bring Chopin to Concert, Dec. 17 Chopin was a popular composer among student musicians at the Wed nesday Musicale, sponsored by the pi ano department, on Dec. 17. Opening the program, Rosemary Viglione played Chopin's Trois Eccas- aises, and Louise Szkodzinski played two of the Polish composer's selections, Etude, Opus 25. Number 7, and Waltz in E Minor. Adcle-Ethel Kaskowski played the Spinning Girls of Carentec, by Rhene- Baton, and Frances Wucrth played the First Movement of Grieg's Sonata in E. Minor. Eileen Ryan chose the Toccata in G Major, by Bach-Braucr, and Geraldine Kelly interpreted the Mozart-Grieg Sonata in C Major. Miss Wucrth as sisted Miss Kelly at the second piano. Yvonne Pelletier played Gesu Bam bino by Pietro Yon, and Marianne Donahoe closed the program with Liszt's Concerto in E Flat, First Move ment, with Miss Szkodzinski playing orchestral parts at the second piano. Debate Marquette On Labor Question Meet Milwaukee Team Here This Afternoon Marquette university will debate with the college team here today, at 2 p.m., on the question, Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Regulate by Law all Labor Unions in the United States. Mundelein will uphold the nega tive side with Ruth Weisman and Peg gy Schweisthal as the debaters. Loyola and Mundelein came to verbal blows on Dec. 16. Patricia Hofmann and Elsie Cramer made up the affirma tive team, while Frank McGarr and James F. Mulvaney of Loyola expound ed the negative arguments of the na tional debating question. Six Mundelein debaters were repre sentatives of the College at the Inter collegiate Discussion conference held at Northwestern university on Dec. 11 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They are Miss Hofmann, Miss Cramer, Miss Schweisthal, Rosemary Shanahan, Mary Louise Shannon, and Mary Kay Jones. The problem discussed at the con ference was: What program should the United States follow in dealing with industrial disputes? See War Influence At Board of Trade With the declaration of war, made that morning, sending the markets to the ceil ing, the Board of Trade was an excit ing place on Dec. 8, when the Commerce club, visiting it, watched action in the grain pits. The students also visited the Federal Reserve Bank and the clearing house where the checks from the 11 member banks are exchanged. The vault, and the sight of a million dollars, made an en during impression on the group. Those who went on the trip were Marie Keating, Marjory Kendrick, Josephine La Mantia, Patricia Stebbins, Evelyn Pearce, Rosemary Josephson, Mary Lau- rine Barr, Dorothy Welch, Jean Hahn, Jacqueline Seymour, Jeanne Loftus, Char- lene Guldin, Patricia Kearney, Ceil Do- herty, and Mary Lou Pimsner. Jane Dougherty, Loretta Nugent, Le- nore Brockhaus, Bonnie Mae Diebold, and Louise Flaherty joined the others at the Board of Trade. What Goes On . W/E'RE in the Army and Navy now. A regiment in Texas had a dance in honor of Janet Farrell, and the navy men who received the Bake-a-Cake-for-a Soldier Day gift of Anita Caparros unanimously voted Mundelein to be their favorite woman's college, and elected Anita an honorary member of the crew of the U. S. Hornbill, now off the coast of San Francisco. As if this weren't enough to please us, United Press radio dispatches have been carrying news of a contest opened to Mundelein girls by a group of sol diers at Camp McCoy, in which the girl who bakes the best cake gets a 25- pound sack of pastry flour for first prize, with a sewing kit for the runner- up. Reports from recipients in Washing ton, D. C, San Francisco, New Orleans, and other points assure us that all cakes arrived in perfect condition. Forty men received bits of one of the cakes sent to Camp Forrest, but the average number of selectees sharing one cake was 16. * * * T7IRST-HAND information about the ' hubbub in Washington, D. C. when news came in about the Pearl Harbor tragedy on Sunday can be had from Patricia Ellis, who was right in the midst of action in the nation's Capitol, visiting friends, of all things. Patricia assures us that, although there was much excitement, of course, the people seemed more or less resigned to it, as if they had been waiting for something to happen. * * * JUST to prove that there is something to propinquity after all, at least 50 of the Mundeleinites will choose past and present Loyolans to be their escorts at the annual Skyscraper Ball, Dec. 26. This statistical data is based on the fact that 8 of the 16 members of the S.A.C, not counting two who are going out-of-town for Christmas, will send invitations to their largest formal of the year to eight Loyola university students and alumnae. * * * LJEROINE of the hour, of the day, * * of the year, in fact, is Rosemary O'Donnell, who has distinguished her self in three incredible ways, viz: 1. The lady in question actually com pleted her Christmas shopping last Monday, or 11 days before you know what. 2. After accomplishing this wondrous feat, she had money left over, lovely- cash on hand, as it were, to be specific, 2.50. 3. Instead of hoarding this little fund in a piggy bank, Miss O'Donnell gen erously contributed it to the Sodality for the Christmas baskets, which means that 100 pounds of potatoes, half a crate of lettuce, 20 bottles of milk, or some other perishable food, will he add ed for the poor. Skyscrapings Mundelein's day of tradition is here. Candle-lighting ... and the spirit that manifests the Glad Tidings of next week permeates everything Next in favor to the Skyscraper Ball, which ranks tops with all collegians in the way of future events, there comes the formal dinner dance given by Delta Omega Pi, at the Bismarck, for Helen Marie Winter, Mary Barbara Gale, Dor othy Toohey, Mary Davy, and Dorothy Klink . . . Ceil Ann Doherty and Helen Walz include Notre Dame's Chicago club dance on their list of holiday hap penings . . . Tomorrow evening Jane Brown and Ruth Ann McCarthy will begin their festive activities by attend ing a formal dinner dance given by one of Loyola's social fraternities Pi Alpha Lambda . . . A regular old-fashioned Christmas party has been planned by committee members of the St. Ignatius University club, and among the carolers and dancers will be Ursula Walsh, Marie Beucher, Patricia Cummings, and Cath erine Enright . . . Exquisite camellias, a becoming for mal, smooth music, and Northwestern's S.A.E. dance pleased Alice Rose Hart nett, no end. . . . Regal, that's Patricia Kearney and Helen Lawler's one-word description of the Empire Room . . Breakfasting at the Pump Room in true English style Marion Seltzer . . We suggest the Blackhawk for holiday frolicing. remarked Mary Coughlin and Betty Jane King For an atmosphere unique, go to the Yar, insist Marie Norris and Virginia Coffey, who recently dined there . . If roll call of Mundelein collegians was taken at De Paul university's Homecoming dance, Mary Ellen Kelly, Adele Ross, Sallie Cahill, Thora Han sen, Leona Mikos, Elaine Hartman, Bette Condren, Jane Champion, Gene Brabets, and Irene Weber would have answered present . . . Week-end trips that arc still being talked about: the one Rita Valenzano and Kathleen Warner took to Purdue; and Patricia Crumley's happy time, while at Detroit . . . Although their escorts were not all fraternity brothers, Patricia Herbert, Virginia Walsh, and Loretta Nugent, still had a chance to be at the same dance, as it was Chicago's Inter-Fraternity Ball . . . The nautical spirit caught Jean Bemis, Maryanne Brockhaus, and Joan Morris when they attended Loyola's dental school dance at the Columbia Yacht club . . . No, it wasn't the blues that Laurette Keshen was singing when she was down at St. Louis, it was a gay, light-hearted tune because she was a guest at Wash ington university . . . Singers in the La Boheme cast found attentive listeners in Aldona Sakalas and Mary Jane Garvey . . . Shirley Klodzinski enjoyed Blossom Time . . . When Mary Clare Howard, Rose Marie Vogler, and Joan Leach heard the last strains of II Trovatore, they heard the opera finale of the year. The sway of palm trees and the lull of oceanic waters have convinced Grace Mannebach that she should spend her holidays in Florida . . . Home for Christmas . . . the very words connote happiness and content ment . . . and that is why Margaret Hagan is anxious to go to Wichita, Kansas; Kathleen O'Connor to Casper, Wyoming; Jane Courtney to Jackson ville, Florida; June Wetzel to Dayton. Ohio; Helen Meyer to Santa Barbara. California; and Mary Major to San Antonio, Texas . . . Sincere wishes for a very happy Christmas . . . We hope that you will find your stocking brim-filled; that your Christmas tree lights won't cause you too much trouble; that you will enjoy the Skyscraper Ball as much as we always have, and remember we'll be thinking of you when singing Auld Lang Syne New Year's Eve . . . Yours 'til '42 . . . 33314
