They're Nice 'They're nice,' echo Mundelein girls of Loyolans, reading the Sur vey of Mundeleinites in yesterday's Loyola News. They're great conversationalists and excellent dancers. The talents of our next-door neighbors are 'mighty fine.' In the matter of their talents the lads should poll enough 'yes' votes to become not Mayor of Chicago but President of the United States. In other words ORCHIDS to Loyola 1300 Club Women Flear Speech Choir At Stevens Hotel Organized less than seven years ago, the Speech Choir lists on its schedule of engagements regular appearances with Vivian dclla Chiesa on NBC, appearances on the Magic Key program, on the NBC Symphonic Hour, and on the Breakfast club, as well as many platform appear ances.

Performing on a specially erected platform, and spotlighted against a silver-sequined curtain, the Choir mem bers, directed by Miss Ann Larkin, gave Cathedral Chimes at Midnight, Bel loc's The Tarentella, and Chesterton's famous Lepanto. As an encore, they gave St. Catherine. Eva Ross Lectures On Grail Movement A.M. to P.M. Pessimists may shake their heads and utter gloomy predictions concern ing the younger generation, but the country has nothing to worry about if other youthful collegians are as du tiful and patriotic as Frances Walz.

Miss Bourque heard Mass at the famous old St. Louis Cathedral, noted for its beautiful statues, and visited the Cabildo Museum, world famous because of its age and nationally famous because it displays costumes worn by rulers of the Mardi Gras since 1834. Describing the origin and develop ment of the Grail movement in Eng land, Holland, Scotland, Austria, and Germany, Dr. Eva Ross, lecturer and author, spoke at the assembly on March 1. The order was started in Holland in 1921, she related, by a group of young people who believed that, since youth played an important part in spreading Bolshevism, religious-mind ed youth could do the same in foster ing Christianity. Originally an interdenominational group, the order as it exists today is entirely Catholic and works on the principle that each girl its members are girls and its efforts are directed largely toward the welfare of other girls is endowed with certain gifts, given by God. The Grail members endeavor to help other girls discover their tal ents and vocations, using Grail-pro vided club rooms for conferences and guidance. Extensive dramatic work is also done by Grail members, who realize the tremendous influence of the Catho lic theatre.
