Horses, who will put their rid ers through the paces, will be co- stars at the annual Horse Show in the spring. Remote preparation for the show includes weekly lessons at the Parkway stables and break fast rides, planned by Phyllis Gar rity. manager of the Riding club.

Both the St. Theresa team and the Philomena Hall team were in great form, and the 8-8 score at half time kept everyone on the edge of her chair. Philomena came out victorious as the game ended 25-17. Playing for St. Theresa were Constance Gonzales, Joanne Boehm, Marjo Glover, Patricia O' Brien, Jeanne Regan, Jeanne Pi- card. Mary Drever, Norma Indo- vina. Geraldine Herr. Jean Ches ter, Patricia Lampe, and Mary McPadden. On the winning Philomena Hall team were Noreen Gibbons, Kay Welch. Peggy Kearin. Dorothy Strzechowski, Mary Ruff, Genie Lavigne, Catherine Nay lor, and Edna Behm. Oct. 22. The weather finally gave in and let us have our long- planned Picnic Supper on the Phil omena Hall campus. We're all following a strenuous one-day diet starting tomorrow, after doing more than justice to the wieners, deviled eggs, cokes, brownies, and ice cream cones. We can't let Jose see us this way Oct. 29. The Hallowe'en Dinner was perfect, thanks to the commit tee heads who worked on it. Di ane Barrett was general chairman ; Rose Ann McGreal headed the In vitation committee, and Genie La vigne led the Decorations commit tee. Barbara Gaul headed the Enter tainment committee, which saw to it that the community singing and skits in the parlor of Philomena Hall were a terrific ending to the delicious feast served by Kay Welch and her committee mem bers. The menace of the quarterly looms before me like a Hallowe'en spectre, so I'd better get back to the hooks To Have Or Not To Have: Dance Versus Sports Touched by the story of the I who hates not only swimming m sports as well, I now must adi woes to the already resoum shouts at the wailing wall o l the gymnasium. In fact, I am i willing to share my crying with her. I. too, was new to Mundelein, unlike my soul-mate, was cagn begin the course in modern it It was with regrettable a illicit* that I registered that black Ti day. Here, I zvould like to call e tion to my extreme age. Out oj teens. I have lost much of youthful resiliency and verve arc the marks of the freshmen. The physical suffering of mi dance is, of course, extreme the bones are brittle and the mm unresponsive. That is nothing, I ever, compared to the vaster i tal anguish experienced whn dream has died. For years, I had deluded m into thinking that I possesst least ordinary coordination. line my consternation at finding I not differentiate between my i and left foot, much less belf the commands of Up and Dm Dance terminology is another ficulty. Taken individually, words are fairly simple, they are run together in rapid cession, however, complications in. Such phrases as, first poi relave, plie, jump, point, cxtet turn, plie. jump, and point, are posed to be obeyed zvith a n ponding set of movements.
