Counsels Study of Logic as Aid to Mental Growth (Continued from Page 4, col. 3) women are as capable of learning and applying the rules of logic, as men. With a grateful smile we continued our interrogation, What constitutes your reading matter, Father Burns? After spreading his fingers in charac teristic fashion. Father chuckled as he replied, Well, you see, I do not have much time to devote to recreational read ing. Besides my class at Mundelein, I teach courses in logic and scripture at Loyola. Because of the limits placed upon my time, theology makes up the greater part of my reading matter. My colleague happened to bring the classics into the conversation at that point and Father became instantly en thusiastic. With a capricious twinkle, he stated that he attributes his slight brogue to studying at a seminary in Spain, and teaching in the Latin tongue for a number of years. As it was almost time for Father's class to meet, we asked if he would like to say anything else on the subject of logic. After hesitating for a minute, he thrust his hands deep into his pockets and grew suddenly serious. The one thing I would like to do, is to stress the importance of logic, he said in a vigorous tone. It's so essential that I would say if a man can study only two subjects, let them be revelation and logic. The class bell rang before he had fin ished, and since this logic class meets three floors above the one on which the interview was held, we asked him if he would not like to ride. Ride he exclaimed. Of course not. One of my favorite sports is walking. We should have suspected it, of course, after his continual pacing during the in terview. SKYSCRAPINGS Everyone is rushing about trying to finish the thousand and one small tasks which must be completed here at school before we can plunge into the maelstrom of holiday activities. The sit uation is further complicated by the fact that few of us have done our Christmas shopping as yet. Our only consolation is in the fact that all of these troubles will be over before the round of parties and dances begin. Platinum-haired Dorothy White is go ing to the Notre Dame Chicago club for mal which will be held sometime after Christmas at the Congress Hotel. FRESHMAN TEAM Back row: E. M. Gorman, Miss E.

IS. Miss Wilson, a graduate of Mercy high school, attended the Gregg college and is now employed in the office of the publishing company. Her skill as a writer was manifest even before she revealed the fact that she has already attained a speed of 180 words a minute. Miss Wilson is now working for the diamond pin award for 200 words a minute. RECEIVE 107 MEMBERS INTO COLLEGE SODALITY Continued from page 1, col. 1) M. A. Kirschten, H. Kostryck, B. Lar- kin, M.

For Leisure Hours During Vacation Read Books, Books, Books (Continued from Page 3, col. 5) and little bitternes, she struggled along, caring for her frail mother, losing two lovers, bringing up other people's children, and seeing her own hopes re treating in the background. She faced old age with practical poverty, but look ing back on her life of service, she had the satisfaction of knowing she had borne the torch onward. Miss Aldrich is one of the few novel ists who can carry a story over half a century successfully and arrive at the en with as fine a display of artistry of style as she puts forth in the beginning. Freshmen Win Again; Capture Volley Ball Tourney Last Night Bulletin With a score of 24-22 the freshmen defeated the sophomores last night and won the volley ball cham pionship for the year. Announce Engagement of Mundelein Alumna Marion Ryan, who played one of the stellar roles in the recent Mundelein dra matic production, Nine Till Six, is leading the trek homeward for the holi days. She is returning to Richmond, Illinois. In the opening round of the interclass volley ball tournament, on Dec. 15, the sophomores triumphed over the juniors with a score of 30-25. The freshmen battled the seniors to a 25-12 victory on the same day. The freshmen beat the juniors 24-21 in the second round, played on Dec. 18. The seniors forfeited to the freshmen, thus definitely putting the upperclass- men out of the race. Town Crier Heralds Gay Announcement Of College Events The West door closes on a nipping Lake wind, these wintry mornings, but coming down the stairs to the locker rooms and the book store, one's atten tion is diverted from numbed fingers and toes by tbe bright colors and bold black print that leap out from the bulletin boards which line the walls. A real yellow-jerkined, green-girdled bell-ringing town-crier is that ever-ex panding bulletin board that cries its news with gay posters and announcements, carefully prepared on neatly typewritten sheets or thought up at the last minute and scrawled on odd bits of paper with hastily torn lacy edges. Impressive banners attesting to the solemnity of the Stylus club and the Organ guild, neatly ruled charts for as sembly attendance and adoration peri ods, exhortations to pay your dues, at tend this or that meeting, swim with the Terrapins, or get bruised knees at soccer, formal letters to the student body from official sources and important-seeming outside organizations, little personal notes, folded and important looking all these crowded together in their respective places or scattered helter-skelter along the cork-lined wall of the bookstore. Hurry past this mirror of student ac tivity, shut your ears to the clamor of this old-world twentieth-century town crier, as you rush to your next class, and you will find yourself one of those wondering dreamers who learn a day too late of the meeting they missed, the com mittees to which they did not know they were appointed, and the lecture they would have liked to hear. The engagement of one of our college alumnae was announced last week when Mr. and Mrs. Alexis Louis Granger of Kankakee announced the engagement of their daughter, Margaret, to Joseph J Murphy of Deming Place, Chicago. We all remember Margaret's gay smile, and we are extending our best wishes for her future happiness. Quite a number of the alumnae are among that favored class of people known as the employed. Alice Alexander '33, is teaching sixth grade at St. Paul of the Cross, Catholic school in Park Ridge* while one of the Sisters is recovering from an ill ness. Alice says that all her leisure time is spent correcting papers. Virginia Fischer '32, is now assistant secretary in the circulation department of the Chicago Journal of Commerce. Virginia insists that the assistant part of it is most essential. Elaine Krambles '32, is working in a doctor's office doing practically every thing. Margaret Hanrahan '32, is employed at a school store at 8016 S. Normal Blvd. My hands are my fortune, says Mar garet, with burns, bruises, and cuts. Mary Toohey '33, boasts that she's had two positions, or rather jobs, she says, since last June. She was working at Field's, but is now with the Catholic Charities. Janet Ruttcnberg '32, is just a home girl with no salary, but plenty of work. She's planning to have open house for the alumnae sometime during the holi days. Lillian O'Keefe '32, is an information clerk at the Sherman Hotel and she adds that if anyone thinks this is easy she should try to answer some of the foolish questions she's frequently asked. Annamerle Kramer '32, is still in the service of the Unemployment Relief and is taking classes at the Loyola Graduate school. Students Tell Christmas Customs of Foreign Lands (Continued from Page 5, col. 1) enters a Polish home is greeted with this custom. The poorer children of the village build a szopka, a miniature manger with carved figures, candles, and childish decorations, which they carry from home to home as they sing kolendy, modestly hoping that the display of their szopka and their carol singing will touch the hearts of the families and win a few grosze or some holiday food for them selves. Emilie Barron is packing her things preparatory to a trip to Washington, D. C. Mary Kay Donahue is frantically try ing to get all of her assignments in so that she may leave soon for her home in Antigo, Wisconsin, as soon as vacation is announced.
