Two Instructors Attend Student Teaching Meeting Sister Mary Alexander and Sister Mary John Vincent of the education department attended the Illinois As sociation for Student Teaching meet ing, Oct. 25, at Rosary College. The topic of discussion was Men tal Health, a Basic Goal of Student Teaching. StudentTeachers 38 Learning from Thirty-eight new student teachers from Mundelein invaded Chicagoland schools this fall. Eleven Chicago pub lic elementary schools and St. Ger trude's parochial grade school wel comed 24 of the new teachers. The other 14 are commuting daily to five public high schools or to St. Scholastica's high school for girls. Observation, participation and assignments to definite class rooms occupied the first two weeks of school, Sept. 22 through Oct. 3. On Oct. 6 the student teachers got their first taste of actual teaching in assigned class rooms. Elementary school teachers number 24 with first grade claiming the most. They are Annette Busse (Gale), Mary E. Cahill (Clinton), Patricia Dwyer (Trumbull), Florence Klein (Bud- long), Eileen McAvoy (Boone), Ruth Wolf (Trumbull) and Mary O'Malley (Decatur). Second grade classrooms are labora tories for Jane Daley (Swift), Pa tricia McGrath (Hibbard) and Joan Landes (Green). Sheila Dwyer (Hibbard), Barbara Jo Summers (Clinton) and Mary A.

The Women's Athletic Association has a wide variety of them. The basketball intramural teams are currently being organized. Games are scheduled for 4 p.m., and dates will be arranged after the teams are organized. Each class will be repre sented in the intramural games if members sign the list posted in the locker rooms. Chairman Joanne Walsh has an nounced that each member of the winning team will receive a medal inscribed with the class year. For those who like their balls a bit smaller, the Varsity volleyball team is practicing every Thursday at 4 p.m. for their coming games with Rosary, Barat, George Williams, Northwest ern and National Teachers' College. If the ball is still too big, an intra mural table tennis tournament begins Nov. 3. Chairman Judy Sodeman is planning the games which are sched uled at the players' convenience. Regional Conference Elects Foods Teacher As Business Manager Sister Mary Renee, B.V.M., foods teacher of the department of home economics, attended the North Cen tral Regional Conference of College Teachers of Food and Nutrition, Oct. 9, 10 and 11 at the Congress Hotel. Sister was re-elected by a commit tee to serve as business manager for next year's conference. The purpose of the conference was to evaluate the teaching of foods and nutrition in schools as it is today and as it should be in the future. Sister participated in a panel dis cussion on Progress in Foods and Nutrition. Her particular topic was concerned with standards colleges should hold in this field.

Pioneer Spirit Guides WAA DownRipplingCalumet River With the song of the voyager ringing in their ears, the red blood of pioneers in their veins and the grim determination of the Indian in their brains, 18 WAA members began their canoe trip. They pushed off in a haze of golden sunlight, feeling as Colum bus must have, for indeed, it was Chris' birthday. which The Little Calumet, on they traveled, affectionately known to the natives as Burn's Ditch, varies between four and 20 feet wide and has some foliage and a few ripples. You think the Indians had a hard time? asked Annette Busse. I felt like Humphrey Bogart in 'African Queen' leading Katherine Hepburn through the Congo. The foliage turned out to be low-slung trees six or eight inches above the water where the river was at its narrowest. When the river became too narrow, the hardy adventurers portaged, lug ging their canoes behind them. THE FIRST RIPPLE disrupted the merry crew. Miss Audrey Sulli van, physical education instructor, re lated her misadventures this way: Things were going along as smoothly as could be expected when we came to rough water. Our canoe reversed itself putting all the weight in the front As we were carried along,' we started to go down instead of forward. Ankle high knee high waist high, and the little girl in the middle took this moment to decide she couldn't swim. Over went the canoe. Miss Sullivan rescued the girl, but lost her favorite moccasin. Jolly misadventures continued to occur as the girls looked for the bridge signaling the end of (he trip. As the bridge was sighted, a cry went up and everyone pad dled with renewed strength. This happened four times, and when New York Art Museum Directs Study Groups Formed on HomeFront The first in a series of twelve home discussion group meetings called Art Seminars in the Home was recently begun by various Mundelein alumnae. This newly formed group, under the direction and supervision of the New York Metropolitan Mus eum of Art, will study the works and characteristics of the periods of art. Chairman of the group of 12 participants is Mrs. Frances Butler Trankina '54, and the secretary is Mrs. Mary Clare Bowman '55. the fifth bridge came into view, the canoes limped to shore. Four and a half hours after they started, with wet muddy clothes, soggy lunch remains, rusted keys, damp watches and overworked muscles, the crew reached their destination. CLOTHES WERE CHANGED in the relative privacy of a nearby corn field. Then the weary canoers headed home to explain their conditions to puzzled parents. Did they vote to never again even look at a canoe? The vote was unani mous. They will go again soon, this time for an overnight trip on Fox River. Students Exploring Space and Sanctity Students in Catholic colleges and universities across the country are participating in the nationwide ob servance of Catholic Youth Week. The week begins on Sunday, Oct. 26, the Feast of Christ the King, and termi nates on Sunday, Nov. 2. Messages and statements en couraging young people to take an active part in National Catholic Youth Week have been issued by President Eisenhower, Vice-presi dent Nixon, Cardinal Spellman, Wernher von Braun, and others. The Chief Executive, noting that nationwide observances will be mod eled after the theme, Youth, Space and Sanctity, said: Your theme this year affirms that the uttermost reaches of space are still within the hands of the Creator. There are no limits to His commandments of jus tice and mercy; no boundaries to the neighborhood of mankind. The Cardinal-Archbishop of New York stated: Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, has pointed out on several occasions that the conquest of space must not lead to blind thoughts of destruction, but rather to greater ap preciation of the wonders of God's creation and deeper awareness of hu man brotherhood and interdependence in this mysterious world given to man by a fatherly God for his use and happiness. Si uscrctpinad Fall, football and fun seem to spell Homecoming. Sylvia Grezeski readily agrees with this fact as she attended the University of Illinois' weekend. Mary Ann Shibovich, Lorretta Segala, Mary Ellen Burg, Marianne Morgan, and Barbara White cheered at the St. Joseph homecoming and Terry Kehoe attended Marquette's. Traveling far for her three F's was Patricia Noonan who flew to Albuquerque for the homecoming game at the University of New Mexico. Members of the Phi Beta Pi medical fraternity entertained resident students at an informal party a few weeks ago. In addition to the ususal eating, dancing, and talking, some of the peppier party-goers played outdoor volleyball, spun the hula hoop and participated in intense games of Concentration. Is Mundelein's library going to the birds? wondered Cathy Curley one night as a little blue parakeet flew in a library window and tried to make friends with her. (Cathy doesn't like birds.) Maureen McCue came to her rescue, and temporarily housed Cathy's fine-feathered friend, christening him Mundle Bundle. The story has a happy ending. Kathy Root (who likes birds) has adopted M.B. The library has regained its studious atmosphere. Lynda Rousseau had to look up a foot or so when she met the seven-foot Harlem Globe trotter star, Wilt The Stilt Chamberlain, at a Kappa Alpha Psi smoker. The Stilt amazed all present with his ability to dance the cha-cha. Loyola's annual Beanie Bounce was, as usual, a tremendous success. There was only one freshman complaint All the boys I met were so-o-o old 1 And to think we upperclassmen stayed home Wanted: some clues to a mystery. One morning about 18 girls were late for their 9 a.m. classes. They claimed they had been stuck in the elevator between floors. But who and where are they now ? No one seems to know who they are, exactly what happened, or any other salient details. Girls Come for ward, and tell us ALL. Surely you're not stuck in the shaft again?
