Anv Senior to Any Freshman If I Were A Freshman Again . . I would gladly do required assignments, because my eyes would be on the future graduation. . Mary Case '49 If I had it to do over again, I'd live my four years just as I have lived them, and have a wonderful time. Mary Lou Farrow '49 I wouldn't become discouraged because many of the courses which I was required to take seemed to have no relationship to my ma jor. It's astonishing how often you will utilize all your knowledge both in and out of school. Mary Frances Ryan '49 I would do something each day to make myself more a part of Mun delein. Patricia Shea '49 I would find out about the extra-curricular activities of the Col lege and be as active in them as I possibly could. Margaret Leipsiger '49 I would buy a syllabus and start reading for senior comprehensives. Ruth Ward '49 I would try to figure out what I expect from Mundelein and what Mundelein expects from me, making my four years a give and take proposition. Frances Endovina '49 -I would pick a major with offices on the second floor instead of on the eighth. Florence Sigler Any Freshman to Any Senior When I Am A Senior I'll be glad to collect admission money from the freshmen and sophomores entering the Social room. Lucille Boldt '52 When I'm a senior to freshmen I'll warn Dears, catch elevators early each morn. Though climbing those stairs helps To keep figures slim You'll be late for class, And an A you won't win. Barbara Bidwell '52 I'll be grateful to those who have helped me to attain my goal a Catholic college degree. Mary Lu Biety '52 I'll be among the first to leave the auditorium and will enjoy having everyone stand silently as I enter. Marilyn Murphy '52 I'll requisition the drama department offices as my northeast, sky- view art studio. Patricia Winkler '52 Every possible approach to any classroom will be known to me and I won't have to fear being lost between World Literature and Labor Problems. I may even know what bo*h are about Marguerite Liston '52 I'll be as nice to the freshmen as the present seniors are to us. Mary Ann Arseneault '52 Some of the problems of my freshman year will probably look like welcome substitutes in a heavy senjor schedule.

Family Ties Depicted In Irish Tale Sorrow, suffering, and joy in the life of an Irish farm family, the Caffreys, is de scribed hy the author, Michael McLaverty, in a new novel. The Three Brothers. In prose style that is straightforward and graphic, the Irish author tells a simple story of a family with mixed ideals. Hob. the oldest son, thinks day and night of liis store and of nothing else; John realizes his life through his four children, and D. J.. the youngest, roams the world without making much of himself because of a mistake that people will not forget; these are the brothers. There is no outward manifestation of love for one another; yet. a sense of the deep spiritual ties that bind the faniilv is impaired to the reader. Mr. McLaverty brings out Irish nation al traits throughout his stow of his Catho lic countrymen. This is not a world-shaking book. It will not be discussed with excitement in the circles in which you move. but. for an evening of relaxation, read and enjov The Three Brothers. Happy New Year Happy New Year Following the lead of another fine news paper in the city, we are thinking of these autumn days as the fledgling flight of the New Year, rather than as the. fleeting last fling of the old one. For with the opening of school we start a New Year, with new opportunities, new studies, new friends, and new experiences to evaluate. This New Year is a crucial one for all of us. For the seniors, it provides a final academic opportunity to built up the faith and knowledge that adult life requires. For the juniors and sophomores, it is a time for intellectual and social development in an atmosphere singularly equipped to foster that development. For the freshmen, it offers the chance to become acquainted with the new and challenging college world. This New Year, we think, calls for a new approach, a change from the grim view-point that seems to darken most of the world At present. We must rediscover that, to help us live His Way, God gave us the theological virtues, and that among these is the virtue of Hope. In this Iroublcd era, the virtue of Hope, which could be our signpost to sanity, seems to be forgotten. We hear of the imminence of war, and experts disagree on the amount of chaos such a war would bring. They agree only that there is no hope for mankind's survival. And too many of us believe them. Too many of us forget that God in His Provi dence is watching over the world as He has since He created it. We forget that God tells us that in the affairs of men there is alvvavs Hope, based on the free will of man. ()n a note of Hope, our New Year will have purpose and direction. The practice of the virtues of Faith and Charity comes easier when Hope is there, too. So -A Happy. Hopeful New Year to us all. lA/fiat Cfoed iJi n IT IS A FAIRLY DISTURBING thought, as a recent lecturer observed, that the rest of the world regards the United States as the stronghold of Catholicism to day. It reminds us that, with the privilege of Catholic college education, comes the re sponsibility of studying hard and praying harder to make ourselves fit instruments in God's hands for His Church. DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL Student association convention in Madi son late this summer elected a Catholic Negro boy president of NSA. Most thrill ing moment of the entire convention oc curred when, in the hushed assembly, all ihe other candidates withdrew in his favor, roll call was taken, and he was elected by acclamation. Ted Harris was elected neither because he is a Negro nor because he is Catholic, but because he possesses the qualities of lead ership necessary to fulfill the highest job and honor that the students of the United States could give him.
