Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER May 10,1961 Petite Bonita's Up in Air' Over Her Small Space Models by Linda Novack Take one part model aircraft skill, add to an equal amount of scholarly effort, sprinkle generously with an ani mated personality, and presto The happy result is an usually talented and highly publicized Mundelein freshman, Bonita Bajerski. The Madonna High School graduate Bonita Bajerski has captured the limelight lately with a score of miniature aircraft models she has been building and collecting for four years. BONITA'S INTEREST in building model airplanes first attracted the no tice of Mrs. Phelps, her speech instruc tor, when the petite 18-year-old ex plained her hobby as an assigned talk. Through Mr. Leo Flanagan, public re lations director, Bonita's story reached FREE-THROW AWARD Nan Levato, freshman, won the CYO City-wide Basketball Free- throw Contest in the 19 year old and over category. Early in the year Nan took Mundelein's WAA free-throw event. Her CYO Award represented 19 shots com pleted out of a possible 25.

Marilyn Moss, chairman of the water show Wish You Were Here in April, revealed that the proceeds from the ballet were used to purchase a tape recorder for the pool room. the local section of the Chicago Trib une and the New World. Soon after, a national magazine. American Modeler, picked up the story and sent a publicity agent to interest Bonita in promoting local sales of the publication. But the freshman was not interested. I made the models only for fun in my free time. I had never read the magazine either, she commented. THE SAGA of Bonita's model ca reer began when she happened to glance into a hobby shop window and spotted the miniature airplanes. My first attempts were not very good, but now many of my planes are good enough to be sold, she explained with a smile. Bonita ordinarily spends three days assembling, gluing and painting one model. Although she would like to de vote more time to her hobby, a double load of homework cuts into her leisure moments. DEAFENED FROM AN ATTACK of meningitis at 6 years of age, Bonita reads lips which prevents her from taking notes in class Despite the complications that can arise from re lying on the notes taken by her friends, the dark-eyed, raven-haired miss maintained a 2.4 average at the semester. One might expect such an avid col lector and builder to aspire to flight engineering, but Bonita intends to ma jor in psychology.

Twelve Chicagoland colleges entered the event held simultaneously at Mundelein, Loyola and Loyola Park gyms Saturday, April 29. A get together in the Tearoom at 2 p.m. topped off the fun day. The Senior Class Prophecy was a real lulu this year, dears, and here are a few choice words from it: We see Barbara Hartke supporting her medical-student husband with the royalties from her Love, Love, Love which has been recorded by the Mundelein Scholastics' Choir. Perfect Ann Moran is having quite a time in the Himalayas with the Peace Corps. Seems she found out there isn't a Sodality there and has decided to remedy the situation. Plans for the conversion of China proceeding well. Who could ever forget that swell girl Gloria Callaci. (She wouldn't give you a chance). Thirty-five years old and still working on her senior psych project (she's testing the world and she's a bit slow). Poor Maureen McConville just can't seem to get away from the sound of the patter of little feet. It's the 400 at the clinic she's trying to help. She's convinced that any child can be helped if you just allow for the fact that he has parents. Nancy Itnyre with her vast knowledge of theology and sociology was called upon to give her views at the recent Ecumenical Council. She spoke on The Place of a Golf Course in the Life of a Parish Priest. The following letter appeared on the front of a Hallmark card: Greetings Dearie, 1 would have written to you terribly much sooner, but Agnes is gone AGAIN The Zookeeper is absolutely furious, as she was practically the only One they had left. Oh well, easy come . . . You'll probably be surprised to hear that I'm still functioning, if you know what I mean. Yes That Mad Doctor from the Brain Bank seems to think that everything is O. K., which still isn't saying a lot considering his verdict. And don't think I haven't considered it. Your name was mentioned the other day, but when I finally got to the person there was foaming and frothing all over the sidewalk. So I gave the miserable fool all my pocket money and that tinted photograph of you in Egypt, Okla. When you get over your hump, why don't you write, since it always puts you in such a communicative mood, if you'll pardon the expression. Have to go now, if you know what I mean. Be careful, dearie, and try to keep your eye open.
