THE SKYSCRAPER SOPHOMORES SWEEP BASKETBALL SERIES REFLECTIONS -4 gt; Swimmers Organize Divisional Teams TRYING to find out Violet Park's ac complishments from that very mod est blond, blue-eyed senior was harder than pulling teeth Finally, after prac tically forcing her into a comfortable armchair and refusing to allow her to move until she confessed, Violet consent ed to reveal all. Because she is interested in history, es pecially the history of modern times, Miss Park has chosen this subject as her major, with a minor in English. You've probably read some of the verses she has written for both the Clepsydra and Quest. At present she is one of the literary editors of the former publication. Miss Park has also been doing excel lent work as vice-president of the Phi losophy club, and on March 7, she took part in that club's program given in hon or of St. Thomas Aquinas. Classical music and the reading of his torical novels fill many of the leisure hours of this quiet, demure senior, and she is especially fond of operas. And, just in case you haven't suspected it, Miss Park has a delicious sense of humor I THE junior to be introduced this week is seriously contemplating collect ing gold-fish as a hobby Lucille Turk, the merry, brown-eyed, brown-haired per son to whom I refer, was given two of them at Christmas time, so now she is planning a bigger and better aquarium. During class hours, English, her major, and history and social science occupy Miss Turk's time, but after classes you are liable to find her at the meetings of the International club or engaged in any of the sports in season. Tennis is her favorite, although she does admit a parti ality for golf. Miss Turk lives in Kankakee, Illinois, and she hopes to become a writer some day. THE Commerce club president, Betty Jane Agnew, was my next visitor. Betty Jane is one of the most capable persons it has ever been my pleasure to meet. Besides being president of the Commerce club, she is vice-president of the W. A. A., a senior Terrapin, an excellent basketball player on both col lege and C. Y. O. teams, an honor stu dent, and a collector of old coins Dramatic acting is another interest of this versatile sophomore. Before Lent, Miss Agnew found time to take part in the play given by the French students for those who attended the Mardi Gras. When Miss Agnew finshes her two- year secretarial course this year, she hopes to become a court reporter Good luck, Betty Jane EVEN though she is only a freshman, Marianne Bertrand has her college career all mapped out I'm going to major in speech and minor in French, she told me, smiling shyly, yet enthusi astically at me with her wide brown eyes. It is Miss Bertrand's first year at a Catholic school, and she loves itl Ev eryone treats me like a queen she said wonderingly, as if her naive personality would not insure her a welcome any where She wants to become a member of the Laetare Players, and is thrilled because she is going to take part in a comedy with the other members of the acting technique class on Laetare Sunday. Horseback riding is Miss Bertrand's great delight. Every summer she spends hours riding near Duluth, where her par ents have a summer home. She tells me that one of the most de lightful surprises of her life occurred one morning when she opened the Daily News and found her picture there in the costume she had wora at the Mardi Gras. Hereafter, in addition to its basketball, volley ball, and debating teams, Munde lein may boast of swimming teams. Rep resentative groups from every class, with the exception of the studious seniors, arc reporting regularly for practice. Each group has two practice periods a week, and no more earnest war riors ever set so resolutely about con quering their enemy, which, in this case, is time. With true freshman eagerness, a group of twelve mermaids, captained by Ber- nice Thoma, practice diligently. The sophomores, with speedy Jean O'Connor as captain, will give good competition. Marion Ryan is directing the activities of the junior swimmers, who will threat en the security of any team. Julie Mat- enaers is the sole representative of the senior class. Unless some others can be parted from their books, Miss Matenaers will swim with the juniors, forming an upper class team. The teams will have ample opportunity to test their prowess at the interclass meet and again at the telegraphic meet. The former is scheduled for March 23. Events include the 40-yard front crawl, 40-yard back crawl, 40-yard breast stroke, and 100-yard free style. A cup is to be awarded to the team winning, and any class which wins the cup for three successive years may keep it. PRACTICE ON FOR TELEGRAPHIC MEET For the second time, Mundelein swim mers will enter the Telegraphic swim ming meet in which the universities'of the Big Ten and the colleges of the Mid dle West will compete on March 30. The name signifies the method of con ducting the meet. Each school entered conducts its own contest and telegraphs the results to the university in charge. From all the results so submitted, the winners in each event arc selected and informed of their victory by telegraph. In addition to the events of the Mun delein interclass meet, the telegraphic meet will include a medley relay and div ing. Terrapins Celebrate Second Birthday The Terrapin club launched out on its third year of life on Feb. 21, with a birthday spread in the swimming pool room. An immense angel food cake, crowned with two shining candles, was cut by Miss Magnuson while the Terrapins sang their birthday song. Betty Jane Agnew was chairman of the refreshment committee, with Clemen tina Paloney, Helen Shannon, and Jeanne Ryan as her assistants. Mercy High Is Scene of Ciscora Convention Those students who managed to find their way across the city to Mercy High school for the Ciscora Convention on Feb. 22, discovered that virtue, besides being its own reward, is frequently ac companied by other pleasures. During the morning session, Mary Toohey, Mundelein prefect, gave the treasurer's report, following which a spirited controversy was held about the distribution of funds to the missions. When the vote was taken, the result was a tie, half the group voting to send the money to foreign missions, the other half voting for home missions. Each, accordingly, was given an equal share of Ciscora's help. Benediction of the Most Blessed Sac rament was given at the close of the meeting. Juniors Claim One Victo ry; Freshmen Lose Two Games Winning both their games by safe mar gins, the sophomores swept aside all op position offered by the freshmen and junior teams to carry off the champion ship in the third annual basketball tour nament held at Mundelein, Monday af ternoon, Feb. 27, in the college gymnasi um. Before the game, excitement and spec ulation as to the probable winner ran high. Spectators lined the balcony rail calling encouragingly to their friends or their favorite team, while below on the floor the green suits of the juniors, the orange-and-tan outfits of the sophomores, and the blue freshmen uniforms added bright spots of color to the occasion. The drawing for the order of games, which took place immediately before the games, was public. Asi a result, the first game saw the junior and freshmen teams clash, the second brought together the sophomores and the freshmen, while the third was a battle between the juniors and the sophomores. Juniors Defeat Freshmen, 11-5 In the first game the juniors, cap tained by Evelyn Lincoln, defeated a courageously fighting freshman team by the score of 11-5. The freshmen, led by Rita Casey, played a hard, fast, defen sive game, but the experienced junior team proved too much for them. Scoring honors were shared by Mary Lyon and Mary Frances Lang, juniors, each player sinking two goals. Irene Lavin, the sophomore captain, faced the freshmen in the second game with one of the strongest teams that has ever played at Mundelein. The freshmen again put up a splendid defense, but the sophomore team swept down the floor time after time, scoring 16 points to the freshmen's 6. Winifred Greene, with a total of four goals, carried off the scor ing honors of the game. Juniors Lose to Sophomores, 27-17 When the undefeated junior and soph omore teams met in the third and final game, the tension that gripped the mem bers of both teams was quickly broken by a succession of goals scored by the sophomores. It looked rather hopeless for the juniors until, using an entire new forward line in the second quarter, they climbed within one point of the sopho mores. The score remained 18-17 until almost the end of the fourth quarter when the younger girls ran up a ten-point lead to win the game and the championship, 28- 17. The members of the teams are listed below: Juniors: P. Duzeski, M. Dwyer, E. McGowan, D. Higgins, M. McKeon, M. F. Lang, E. Lincoln (Capt), M. Lyon, M. Mahoney, M. Sifferman, and L. Waindle. Sophomores: B. J. Agnew, L. Bar rett, M. Bushnell, H. Daly, J. Flick, W. Greene, I. Lavin (Capt.), P. Madison, M. R. Murphy, C. Paloney, H. Piper, M. L. Seitz, M. J. Tully, and M. Walsh. Freshmen: M. Carroll, R. Casey (Capt.), L. Brady, E. McGrain, J. Mur phy, L. Murphy, H. McDermott, M. Ly- saght, M. Peterson, A. Prassas, and C. Wilcox. Volley Ball Hailed as New Sport King Commerce Students Visit Bell Telephone Company Almost before the last eager shout emitted at the basketball tournament liad died away, the net was up and volley ball became the sport of the hour. The volley ball season is short-lived, however, and plans are already being made for the tournament at the end of March. These springlike breezes that bring back memories of tennis rackets, are do ing their best to dry up the Loyola courts. However, until they are ready, the courts in the gymnasium are available for sev eral hours each week. Miss Marshall will be glad to give the needed pointers. A new class in archery, especially scheduled for physical education majors, has been arranged. Students from other departments, however, may be allowed to sign up for it. LEADERSHIP COURSE AIDS SCOUTS HERE The third annual Girl Scout Leadership Course was held at Mundelein College this month, under the direction of Miss Eleanor Schmidt, field captain for Cath olic Relations in Chicago, and Miss Dor othea Sullivan, a member of a national staff of instructors of Scout Leadership. Twelve students availed themselves of the opportunity to learn more about Scout Leadership. The course given this year was one of troop progress and was more advanced than last year's. The purpose of training courses in Girl Scout Leadership for college wom en is threefold: To teach initiative and responsibilty, and to provide an incen tive for healthful outdoor recreation. As a result of their taking the course, these students are now able to become leaders in their parish troops, thereby aiding Catholic Action. Those girls who took the course are: Mary Louise Berry hill, Mary Domes, Mary Finnigan, Jane Gorski, Elaine Krambles, Evelyn Lin coln, Virginia Meagher, Mary Rita Mur phy. Dorothy Oliver, Ann O'Sullivan, Anne Smaza and Estelle Wrengler. Alpha Omicron Hears Talk on Furniture The entire home economics department became acquainted with the art of buying furniture when they attended a lecture on that subject at the Sears Roebuck Clinic, State and Dearborn streets, on Wednesday morning, March 1. A skilled buying technique, the stu dents were told, results from educating the consumer to intelligent buying, which, in turn depends upon a knowledge of the merchandise in question. The lecture was presented in an attempt to counteract over-advertising. Mr. Conley Talks on Thomistic Principles Students in the commerce department visited the Illinois Bell Telephone com pany offices on Wednesday, March 9. They were conducted through the toll room, and the intricate process of hand ling a switch board and putting through long-distance calls was thoroughly ex plained to them. (Continued from Page 3, Col. 5) cannot be an economist without being a philosopher. One of the advantages of studying St. Thomas, according to Mr. Conley, is that in so doing one finds that the new ideas being advocated and her alded as innovations are found clearly stated in the writings of the worthy churchman of the 13th century. The present troubles, continued Mr. Conley, are more philosophic than eco nomic. If people were following St. Thomas, they would not find themselves in these economic difficulties. On this thoughtful note the official in terview terminated, and Mr. Conley, tak ing his ever-present brief-case, departed. With his sincere and energetic interest and appreciation of the things that really matter and his clear interpretation of cur rent problems, Mr. Conley is not only a good economist but also a thoroughly de lightful conversationalist. SKYSCRAPINGS We hear that Helen Stretch and Evan geline Cohan have wisely used their spare time becoming adept at the art of playing ping pong. They have became so pro fessional that they are seriously consid ering entering local tournaments. When Father Bruno Bitter, who gave us such a discerning talk on Japan, spoke on Soviet Russia at the Studebaker theater on Feb. 26, Mundelein was well represented. After a few glances about the theater, we identified Rita M. Learned, Genevieve McClevey, Daisy Elward, Marguerite Walker, and Helen O'Gara, a member of our alumnae. Mary Elizabeth McCracken is playing the part of a debutante, and Mary Jane Blenner that of a colored mammy in a three-act comedy entitled, Come Out of the Kitchen, which will be given on March 26, by St. Gertrude's dramatic club. Jessie Kramer and Mildred Sperry, two piano students at Mundelein, have recent ly given public performances. Miss Kra mer played at a recent meeting of the International Federation of Catholic Alumni, and Miss Sperry played a group of numbers at the Evanston Cath olic Woman's club. Sally Agnes Smith is the advertising announcer on the Aragon-Trianon radio hour. Tune in some Sunday afternoon and hear our very own announcer. Mary Honan, Margaret Broeker, and Iirimore Trant were members of the chorus in Back to Broadway, a musi cal comedy given by St. Thomas the Apostle parish at the Harper Theater recently. St. Agatha's basketball team won the semi-final game in the parish basketball tournament, from St. Henry's the other evening. Among the Mundelein girls who played on the winning team were: Clem entina Paloney, Alice and Mary Lyon, and Irene Lavin. Alice Mayfield and Kathryn Harten- burg, former students of Mundelein, played the leading roles in Happy Land ings, a three-act comedy given by Our Lady of I-ourdes dramatic club. Lorraine Zeigler, freshman art student, recently won a prize of one hundred dol lars in the Tribune's World's Fair Beauty Contest. Miss Zeigler's picture appeared in the rotogravure section a week ago, and we are all hoping she will win a place in the finals. We have just heard that the reason Mary Finnegan gave up her bugle les sons was that she was forced to practice in the basement of her home. Life has its little ironies. Mary Agnes Tynan, one of our fore most drama students, who will be remem bered for her stirring performance as La Torche in A Toast That We Can Drink, is rehearsing for a part in a play to be presented during the Century of Progress exhibition. It is a four-act play entitled What is Love? written by Mi chel Kadri, Ph. D. Lucille Barret took a prominent part in the parish play which St. Pascal's dra matic league enacted at Freemont Center, Illinois recently.
