Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER Feb. 13, 1963 Si f dcrap inad pina Take courage, my friends For get the winter weather, those se mester grades and senior comps, and start counting the days only 35 more until spring. And even when the umpire yells Play ball in a few weeks, memo ries of that awful semester-exam week are sure to linger on. The residents didn't let down the prevailing spirit of depression in the opinion of this writer, who was stranded at school on one of those cool nights and found herself an emergency guest at Coffey Hall. Rise and Shine signs on the bulletin boards over there didn't mean a thing that week. If it weren't for a few Paul Reveres like Carolina Molleda and Mary Ellen McGreevey, certain people would never have made it to their exams. ON YOUR MARK, get set, go. (L. to r.) Mary Pat Therriault, Kay Knipp, Sheila Kirby, Charlene Baloun and Diane Tate, winter sport enthusiasts on Ski Weekend, await their turn with sled in hand for the next ride. Skis,Sleds, Season Winter Diary Take the cold, crisp winter air; mix it with piles of snow and a well-frozen lake; add a roaring fire with marshmallows roasting. Stir in the breath-catching thrill of a toboggan ride and a spill on the frozen lake. Mix the ingredients well, toss in a turn down the ski slopes for good measure. Place all the ingredients with a group of Mundelein sports enthusiasts in Williams Bay, Wis. for a weekend. The results will yield a full year of tea-room conversation and early plans for a return trip in '64. For the benefit of those who weren't able to go, a peek into the diary of one of the avid sports women might give a glimpse of things they missed. Friday night. Arrived safe and sound in Wisconsin but had to carry the suit cases (filled with warm, dry clothes), skates and skis down a high, slippery hill to the cabins (bus couldn't go down the icy hill) . . . Made a fast change (how fast can it be when you put on three sweat ers, a sweat shirt, a pair of leo tards, two pairs of slacks . . .) then down to the lake (covered with an inch of hard snow) for ice skating. Toes reached the freezing point so we headed back to the cabin for a fast change (off with two of the sweaters, sweat shirt, leotards, two pairs of slacks .. . ). Then down to the Dugout, the meeting hall, for some more fun. Popped popcorn over an open fire (first batch got burnt but after that we were 'ex perienced'). Then played games (from recreational activities; Mrs. Gorski should be proud of her girls). . . . Finally some sleep. Saturday. Breakfast at 8 . . . Then off for skiing instructions in the Dugout (we were going to tilt the table to make a hill and let 'Thanks1 Party With cokes, cookies and corsages, little sisters will express their thanks to the Big Sisters at an in formal party sponsored by the freshman class Feb. 21, in Lewis Center. By contacting them during the summer and helping them during Orientation Week, the Big Sisters aided the freshmen in adjusting to college life. Now is the time for the freshmen to reciprocate. Eileen O'Connor is general chair man of the party arrangements. by Kathy Sweeney Maria Carvallo come down it to make it authentic but . . .). After our lesson it was off to the Yerkes Observatory, not the easy way but the hard way uphill. .. Got there in time for a tour bundled up nice and warm because the observatory is ten below zero. Learned all about the telescope, etc. Came back to the cabin feeling like snowwomen had some help from Kay Knipp, our leader, who felt everyone should wash her face in snow. After lunch went to the toboggan slides. Saturday night. Finally the time came to Majestic Hills and the ski slopes. We took boots (looked more like gun boats), skis, poles (to make you go faster or help you get up when you've fallen) . . . Af ter an hour or so (so it seemed) we finally made it to the tow rope and were off or down as the case might be. 9:30 to 10:30 p.m. Warmed our selves around the big open fireplace then began the long trudge back to camp and the Dugout to relive the day (and the night) around the fireplace. Sunday. Up bright and early (6:30) for Mass . . . After break fast it was back to the cabins to dress for the last fling in the snow. Took a little longer to dress this time every bump, bruise and ache from yesterday protested each time it was touched . . . Then out to the linen room for a sled (where else would you get one). Up the hill, then down (if you're lucky). After all, might land in a snow bank (br-r-r) or up a tree, or against a brick wall (ouch) ... In for lunch, then out again for skat ing and hiking (conquering new frontiers). Bus left at 3 p.m. so it was up the hill with the suitcases (filled with wet, soggy clothes), skates, skiis and sore legs. Arrived back at school with four objectives a hot bath, a sham poo, eigh,t hours' sleep and plans for next year's Ski Weekend. Kitchen Personnel Rates Grade 'A' by Pat Two hundred hot dogs a day, 5,000 cups of coffee a week. These are Mundelein statistics. Charles Hewett, food director of the Col lege, sees to it that every Munde- leiner is provided with the extra foods needed to make up for what the hot dogs don't supply. Mr. Hewett is in charge of all food operations in the College, both in the tearoom and in Lewis Center. He plans the menu, buys the food, and supervises its preparation and serving. A skeleton crew of seven works to prepare the meals on weekends. There are 17 men and women on the college kitchen staff. They work on an eight hour shift basis from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. although one member, Ha Pearson, begins her baking at 6 a.m. and stays un til 2 p.m. She bakes up to 300 pies a week. Efficient food preparation by a well-trained personnel prevents much food from going to waste, says Mr. Hewett. Mundelein's kitchen area is well equipped with a battery of three kitchen ranges in one, seven large ovens, a vegetable and potato steamer, a potato peeler, a meat slicer, three mixers and a power dish washer. Meals are planned by Mr. Hewett for a Schultz balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats. He stresses that A good balance of the protein, carbohydrates and fats can be obtained by eating three meals a day not by eating only one. Mr. Hewett buys from 200 to 500 pounds of meat at one order. Vege tables come in 50-pound crates, usu ally 200 pounds are purchased at a time. Canned foods are bought in four to ten case lots. Sugar, flour and potatoes come in 100-pound bags. It has been suggested that any one entertaining 1,200 guests for a special occasion, should just contact Mr. Hewett. He is qualified to give excellent advice. Announce Exams Current Federal Examination announcements are available on the tables on the seventh floor. The examination dates are: To Take Test on Apply by March 16 Feb. 28 April 20 April 4 May 11 April 25 Seniors are urged to apply early. Snoopy Chatter . . . Most people found registration a lot easier this year. Even running up and down stairs was better than fighting through that maze in 405. Jean Campbell had a little trouble, though. In a desperate effort to register for her last class before it closed, she dashed up to an innocent bystander and asked, Where do I sign up for Christian marriage be fore it's too late. Jean was refer ring, of course, to Father Clark's Christian marriage class. Keiko Wakabayashi, a Lay Aux iliary, recently appeared on the Channel 11 Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic Hour. She was inter viewed by alumna Julie Ann Lyman. Music Notes ... A classical quartet composed of Marianne Locke, clarinet, Diana Cannata, violin, Cathy LaMagdeleine, flute, and Lela O'Neal, cello, has prac ticed weekly on the seventh floor since the beginning of the first se mester. The group now intends to play late Renaissance and Baroque music arranged by Sister Mary Jo- sette's theory classes. That's all for now Happy Val entine's Day and watch out for Cupid; he'll have plenty of arrows in that little bag of his tomorrow. Peanuts AlumnaeDance To Boost Fund At Mardi Gras Come to the Mardi Gras is the theme of this year's Silver Dollar Ball sponsored by the Mundelein College Alumnae Association.

Off-beat Dancers Spark Modern Dance Pageant by Joanne Looking as though they should be sipping espresso or mocha, a cluster of young girls shrouded in black encircled the bongo-drum player. No, they are not angry young women rebelling against the norms of society; nor are they products of Greenwich Village, North Beach or Old Town. Their search for creativity is not ex pressed in the form of a Ginsberg- type poem of Bohemia. What they are doing is termed avant-garde. For many weeks, Miss Judith Scott's modern dance classes have been involved in these so-called weird activities in preparation ABSTRACT SEA creatures take form as Lyria Geretti and Joanne Infantino rehearse for the Modern Dance Concert to be held Feb. 18 in the College Theater. for the Modern Dance Concert to be held Feb. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium. The concert will fea ture dances from electronic sound to Beethoven. Girls Improvise As part of their preparation the Infantino girls have been experimenting with diversified and exotic movements to coincide with electronic sounds. This is as difficult as dancing the cha-cha to the echoes of Coffey Hall's boiler room. But the girls can and do express themselves very well in this new media. Entering a practice session an observer can see several things. In one corner, a young choreographer, Gerri Bruchhauser, works with a sea group on electronic sound movements. Four girls, submerged together, gradually ascend, and swirl their arms in axial move ments. Every five minutes or so, a group of six, huddled on the ground, raise their arched backs just an inch or two, until they are totally upright. Carol Jankowski, of the advanced class, is doing the choreography for a dance based on the Greek myth Pandora, and Marikay Houndt is arranging the dance Pagan Ritual. Guest Dances The advanced modern dance class will perform Sketches of Spain, with a guest artist, Mr. Mort Kess- ler from Dance Incorporated Chicago. Miss Scott will dance with Mr. Kessler to A Taste of Honey, and with Nancy Ward in Self-estrangement, another elec tronic sound dance. Other forms of dance can be seen in the concert also. A jazz number, Hassle in the Castle is being re hearsed along with Bagatelle by Beethoven, Suite for Haiku Po etry, Eruptions and Evolve- ments (movement under cloth) and Contrast in Rhythm. Tickets are 1 for adults, 50 cents for students and can be pur chased daily at the booth in front of the elevators and on the night of the performance.
