THE SKYSCRAPER HONOR BEETHOVEN IN APPRECIATION OF MUSIC CLASS Appreciation of Beethoven's solid ge- ius, which is recognized today more than one hundred years after his death, is one of the aims of the class in music ppreciation. A Beethoven program, which included nut only an analysis of his works but demonstrations of them by musicians in the class, was given in the music history iiudio on Oct. 24. The Moonlight Sonata, the Sonata Pathetique, and Appassionata were in terpreted on the piano by Jessie Kramer and Mildred Sperry. Victrola records of the Fate Symphony and In Questa Tomba were played, and Eleanore Solewska played Minuet in G en the violin. Critical analyses of the Pastoral Sym phony, Egmont, Coriolanus, Lenore, and a Gavotte, and a study of Beethoven in modem music were given respectively by Frances Mikkelson, Dorothy Boyn- ton, Violet Kilbane. Frances Joyce, Roselyn Robineau. Mae Murphy, Helen Stretch. Xona Peters, Helen Domkus, Violet Smolensky, and Lorraine McDon- New Style Book Points Way To Literary Fame Spanish Classes Meet Socially With Loyola Loyola students of Spanish were guests ii the Mundelein Spanish classes at an normal party in the gymnasium on Hallowe'en. Jeanne Ryan was general chairman of ihe event, and Miss Emilie Sonderegger, instructor in French, assisted as hostess. Tau Mu orchestra, dance unit of the College orchestra, comprised of seven members, furnished the music. Dorothy Grace, Catherine McBride, Laverue Fleming'. Dorothy Boynton, Aim Daly, Estelle Burke, and Eleanor Kucki, were the players. Visit House of Good Shepherd Members of the department of home economics visited the House of the Good Shepherd on Nov. 3, in the interest of institutional management and relief work. Embroidery, clothing, and linens of all kinds, made by the inmates of the House, were demonstrated, and the students were shown through the entire institu tion. The tour ended with a program pre sented by the orchestra and a visit to the Chapel of the Good Shepherd. Realizing that creative writing is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration, the Stylus club has compiled and published a Style Book which the members feel will do much to aid struggling writers in their tasks of composing essays, short-stories, verse, and other literary endeavors. This small book informs the reader of the major rules to be observed in prepar ing manuscript for the quarterly style, copy preparation, the making of the mag azine proper, and the rules of grammar and punctuation to be observed. Two important sections of the Style Book are the Introduction and the sec tion entitled, Hints to Writers. They explain fully the reason that the little book was published, and aid the am bitious, but often puzzled, beginner to get started. Renaissance Art Is Revealed in Rare Tapestry Technique of Engrossing Explained in Art Lecture The fine art of engrossing was simply explained to a number of art students by Mr. Norman Tower, of the Barnes Commercial School in Denver, Colorado, on Oct. 30. Mr. Tower illustrated his lecture with stereopticon slides showing how free hand drawing and illuminating are used on diplomas, announcements, and the like. The color, and shading and stroking in pen work are very important, he declared. Mr. Tower, commenting on the an cient and medieval progress in engross ing and illumination, expressed his re gret that more people are not interested in the advanced art of text lettering to day. Debate St. Viator's On WCFL Next Sunday The first intercollegiate debate of the season will take place Nov. 19, when Mundelein meets St. Viator's college over radio station WCFL to discuss the ques tion: Resolved: That the powers of the president be substantially increased as a settled policy. Ruth Tangney will give the construc tive argument for the negative side. The rebuttal speaker has not yet been se lected. By Jane Malkemus Bringing a breath of the Renaissance into the twentieth-century atmosphere of the art and drama departments on eighth floor, a tapestry depicting Christ in the Market Place now hangs on the wall outside the Little Theater. Made 400 years ago in Brussels, for some high ecclesiastical dignitary or mil itary official, the tapestry has come into the possession of Mr. Louis Green, im porter and connoisseur of tapestries and textiles, who has presented it to Munde lein. With exquisite simplicity and subtle blending of colors, the tapestry shows the white-robed Christ the central figure of a varied throng at the busy Market Place. His disciples gathered behind Him, the trades people kneeling at His feet asking His blessing on themselves and their wares, a weary traveler bent be neath his burden, the scholar and the man of wealth, even the dog drawn to ward Him by His quiet friendliness al He welcomes and teaches by His calm strength and life-giving kindness. Dating from the sixteenth century, the tapestry combines with the original per fection of its art, the first symptoms of the decadent period. Religious Spends Years At National Leper Home Sallie Agnes Smith Broadcasts Over WBBM Sallie Agnes Smith has had three ex citing experiences during the fortnight just past, all in connection with her dramatic work. Miss Smith was on the WBBM pro gram, Painted Dreams, on Nov. 1; on Nov. 7, she gave a review of the plays of James M: Barrie before the Joyce Kilmer League, reading The Twelve- Pound Look, and during the week previ ous, she conducted classes in drama and public speaking at The Immaculata high school. The students of the College of fer their sincere sympathy to Sis ter Mary Justitia on the death of her brother, and assure her of a fervent remembrance of his soul in their prayers. Eighteen years in the National Home for Lepers, at Crille, Louisiana, is the record of Sister Catherine, of the Sis ters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Sister Catherine, who is the head die titian of the colony, spoke to the fresh men on Oct. 27, asking them to remem ber the lepers in their mission work and in all their prayers. The National Home for Lepers, which is the only colony of its kind in the United States, is maintained by the Fed eral government. At the request of the government, the Sisters of Charity ac cepted the responsibility of caring for these people 39 years ago. In 1894, when the colony first opened, there were 90 patients, but at the pres ent time there are almost 400, of whom 67 are totally blind. Sister Catherine stated that there are 20 nationalities represented in the col ony, the Chinese being in the majority. CRITIC WRITES OF FAMOUS PAINTINGS AT ART INSTITUTE Law Series Given By Parliamentarian Miss Ada K. Gannon, Parliamentarian, opened a series of six weekly lectures on parliamentary law on Nov. 3 for Mundelein freshmen. During the first few minutes of her talk, Miss Gannon explained the pro cedure for opening a meeting, and later the terminology of the course and its ad vantages to modern women. Parliamentary law gives women the ease, poise and assurance essential to a good speaker. It is splendid prepara tion for good citizenship. It demon strates the importance of exercising the right to vote and proves that an argu ment does not necessarily imply a fight. Miss Gannon is well known to the majority of Mundelein students. She gave her course here in 1930 and has al so appeared at most of the Catholic schools throughout the city. International Welfare Worker Speaks to Class Miss Clara McDonnell, of Pittsburgh, in a recent visit to Chicago addressed Child Welfare classes at the University of Chicago and at Mundelein. Miss McDonnell, who was a guest speaker in Dr. Rooney's class on Nov. 3, made her home during her years in Europe as a welfare worker with the relatives of the late Cardinal Mercier. x LTHOUGH you may have thought /t. Abstraction With a Green Center a strange dream, and Dog Barking at the Moon, a poster, now that the World's Fair Art Show has passed into history, you begin to appreciate its true worth. C. J. Bulliet has just published a vol ume of articles on the show, which ran serially in The Chicago Daily News, and although this critic is not a conservative, the historical notes and criticisms which he has compiled are excellent. The first volume is now available at all book stores, and the second will be off the press Nov. 10. T7 MIL LUDWIG'S latest, Talks With C-t Mussolini, is an unusual work from the viewpoint of novelty and content. The author, who passed through Chicago recently on his way to Hollywood, where his biography of Napoleon is being filmed, was quoted as saying at that time that dictators have become more powerful and more fashionable in our own era than at any other time in the history of the world. After reading the conversations which took place between Ludwig and II Duce last year, we come to a better understanding of the know ledge which prompted him to make such a statement. In these conversations, Mr. Ludwig aimed to discover not what Italy thought of its dictator or what he thought of his subjects, but what Europe had to expect from Mussolini, and to portray for the first time the man of action as a thinker and to reveal the connection between his activities and thoughts. IF YOU like atmospheric novels, we recommend O. E. Rolvaag's most re cent publication. The Boat of Longing, which has been translated from the Nor wegian. It reminds one very much of Loti's Pecheur d'lslande, for the mists and moods of the sea color the whole story. The phantom boat has played an im portant part in Norse legends for centu ries, and it is used in this novel to con nect the theme of the story which centers around Nils Vaag. Tinged with the ro mance and mystery of picturesque Nor way, the novel moves along in a fashion which is radically different from that of English and American writers.
