Musicians' Practice Insures Successful Concerts) Positions The leader is in his black tuxedo, his back is to the audience. The members of the Orchestra are wearing pastel formals, and the Glee club members are clad in their traditional red-stoled gowns. The music swells and the audience thrills to a new experience. Ten months in advance a concert has its beginnings. The Dean receives an Au gust visit, and May 11 at 8:15 p.m. is the time decided upon. The Dean marks it down on her calendar and the Music Faculty await the arrival of new fresh men to organize the bright musicians for a year of preparation. Adalbert Huguclct, Orchestra and Glee club director, gathers the incoming freshmen and tells them about the two unusual organizations. Tryouts are held. The aspirants hold their breaths until the director announces the new members. Every Tuesday and Thursday from then on, all Glee Club members sing from three until four o'clock. Students who are accepted in the Orchestra practice every Wednesday from 6:50 until 8:50 p.m. rain or shine, and this year, the girls will tell you, its been mostly rain. Some Orchestra members come from as far away as 7800 South, and they come regularly. Several are alumnae who still like to play. Eileen Kennedy '50, comes from Hammond. Indiana, every week. For each concert, the Faculty chooses the program to be presented. During the last few weeks before a concert, both organizations concentrate on the coming program. Practicing on the stage presents a problem since 50 chairs and stands plus string basses, kettle drums, chimes, and other instruments must be set up, and often another club needs to use the stage during the week. Therefore, equip ment comes up and down, up and down, but everybody admits the concert is worth the pressure involved in preparing it. Publicity is another phase of present ing a concert. The two clubs make post ers, send cards to friends, and spring up with something unusual like wearing notes on their sweaters to keep the stu dents aware of the forthcoming program. To what avail, besides the delight of participating in concerts, is all of this preparation? Ask Mary Wood Stussy Severson '49, who is now a Faculty mem ber of the Minneapolis Conservatory of Music. or Catherine Prendergast Finnigan '47, who is a television pianist for WBKB, or Mary Lou ise Gulick '45, a staff member of Zenith Radio station, or Frances Mick- elson Harley '36, who is the Park Ridge Men's Choral club director, or Lillian Muza' '46 who plays in several orchestras and who is director of the Catholic Uni- versity club orchestra. These are only a few of the alumnae who practiced faithfully each week on Mondays from three until four, or Wed nesdays, from 6:50 until 8:50. Theirs is a three-fold satisfaction. They enjoyed belonging to Orchestra or Glee club when they were in College; they had the decided satisfaction of giving a recreational and cultural service to all who attended the concerts, and now they are having careers in music. As for you well, will you be at the Glee club Orchestra Festival concert, May 11 ? If you are, you can applaud the efforts of the musicians, and show your appreciation of their work. New Dictionary Characterizes American Speech Jerk is strictly an American word. It originally described those who jerked their heads and bodies while under the influence of strong religious emotion at prayer meetings, revivals, and the like. In the new Dictionary of American isms by Mitford Mathews and his col leagues of the Dictionary department of the University of Chicago press, there are 50.000 English words that, like jerk, were either coined here or derived new mean ings by their usage in America. This Dictionary, in two volumes, is now on the reference shelves of the Col lege Library. The new occupations, recreations, and inventions which have arisen in this country made possible many strictly American words. For example, from the U. S. form of government came the term Congress, meaning legislative body. F.ach word or phrase found in the Dictionary of Americanisms is illus trated by a dated quotation from some magazine or newspaper. St. Scholastica Wins Physics Essay Award Jane Smith of St. Scholastica High school won first prize in the High School Physics contest sponsored by the Physics department.

Every year numerous girls are nominat ed; of this group only one can be elected for each office. This leaves many po tential, and some quite capable, leaders in a rather odd position. Once defeated, they find themselves debating which road to follow. Should they join the ranks of the Who Cares? students, drifting from class to class with an apathetic air? Or should they make good the pledges they gave their fellow students by en deavoring to support their class acti vities with the same amount of enthusi asm they would want if they were in the drivers seat? The reason for the defeated candi dates' dilemma is mainly this: their fel low students' attitude They hesitate to exhibit leadership tendencies by ac tive participation in all class activities for fear of being accused of politicing for next year's office. And they are tim id in giving their officers suggestions, lest they be accused of forgetting who won the election. Isn't it amazing what public opinion means to all of us? So what's the answer? SAC believes it lies in a revamping of student ideas concerning leadership. We're continually insisting that we're all potential leaders so why look down our collective noses at students who act as such Winning or losing the election shouldn't make the difference Why does it? * * * SAC is proud and happy to note such a large number voting to keep the bal let as the annual benefit. The Opera House management has guaranteed a program to suit all tastes. And with so many eager Mundelein partisans enthu siastically supporting the project, we look forward with eager anticipation to Oct. 15 another celebrated night in a long line of Mundelein benefits.
