All success, Father McLaughlin in sists, should be measured in terms of eternity, and not according to false and pagan standards of gain.

Thanks For The Memories Lecturer Stresses Cultural Aspects Of Home Economics The economic situation in Mexico today, according to the Reverend Jer ome V. Jacobsen, S.J., who lectured on Mexico before Father Goodwin's political science class on May 10, is more critical than most Americans real ize, owing to the confiscation ol* prop erty and the Communistic attitude in the government. Father Jacobsen, who is managing editor of the historical magazine Mid-America, is an authority on conditions south of the Rio Grande, having spent some time studying there. Thanks For The Memories Talks on Writing Disproving the accusation that home economists have only a few careers open to them, Miss Marion Van, Home Economist and Journalist, told the home economics students, on April 9, about her work in publicizing flour. Discussing the opportunities for home economists in journalism, Miss Van emphasized the usefulness of courses in journalism, advertising, and photogra phy for students majoring in home eco nomics. The business world is still a man's world. counseled Miss Van in con clusion. Look and act like a woman, but keep pace mentally with men, and accept criticism as impersonally as they do. Drama Majors Give Recital on May 22 Two seniors in the drama department, Concetta Alonzi and June Tripp, and two senior organ students, Alice Szambaris and Alice Scanlon, will appear in re cital in the auditorium on May 22 at 3 :30 p. m.

Thanks For The Memories Orchestra Banquet Is Prelude to Practices Presenting a new phase of Home Economics, its value as a means to a truly cultural education, Dr. Lydia J. Roberts, head of the department of home economics at the University of Chicago, addressed the guests at the annual home economics symposium, on May 11. The backbone of home economics courses are those courses recognized as essentials of a general educational pro gram, insisted Dr. Roberts, because the subject matter embraces a large portion of the knowledge essential for use ful and larger living. Deploring the emphasis placed on the skills and teclmieiues which are only what typewriting is to a business exe cutive. Dr. Roberts stressed the ideals of home economics training as they are applied to the problems of home liv ing and human relations. These abiding values were presented after papers on the Home Economist as Teacher, Institutional Manager, Commercial Leader, Writer, and Home Maker had been read by Sue Adams, Aliee Addison, Joan Kaspari, Cather ine Heerey, and Betty Boehme. Members of the department presided as hostesses in the model apartment where refreshments were served, after the symposium, at which the Chicago Household Arts Teachers, the Chicago Dietetics association, and the Home Economics in Business group were guests. Place cards with ryhmes to suit each player's talent directed the 50 members of the Orchestra to their places at the annual Orchestra banquet, held in the tea-room at 6 p.m., on April 24, the evening of the Spring Concert. Doro thy Grace and Florence Ackerman were chairmen for the arrangements. Back to work again, the Orchestra, which has rehearsed on Tuesday eve nings all year, is working now on a Bach march for the Baccalaureate pro cessional, and on a Grieg number for the recessional. Included in the selections they are planning for Baccalaureate is a minuet irom a Mozart symphony, and for Commencement they are rehearsing Militarie Francaise by Saint-Sacns and March Triumphal by Grieg. On both occasions, the Orchestra members will wear gold satin dresses and capes and red satin mortar boards with gold tassels.

Jo anne Dimmick will read an original poem written for the occasion. According to tradition, the singing of the college song will conclude the pro gram. Merrily We Roll Along Discuss Educational Ideals Before Faculty Divisions That the primary aim in education is not just how to make a living but how to live as well, was the con tention of L. Thomas Flatley, Ph.D., professor of economics, in a lecture before the Faculty of the Division of In stitutional Sciences, on The Place of Fconomics in a Women's Liberal Arts College, on May 3. The purpose and aims of the econo mics department, Dr. Flatley pointed out, are one with the ideals of the college itself, namely, to uphold stand ards for sound scholarship, to train in fundamentals of morality and reli gion, and to prepare the students to live wholly and generously in a chao tic world. The acquisition of a socialized atti tude resulting from the study of eco nomics and sociology will be helpful, he believes, in enabling the student to play her part in the complexities of modern society. George M. Schmeing, M. A., profes sor of chemistry, in an address before the Faculty of the Division of the Physic al, Biological, and Mathematical Sciences, on May 2, pointed out that a basic aim in the teaching of science is to prepare the student to transfer train ing, or to cope with problems that con front him in daily life in the manner he has learned in the classroom and laboratory. We must help the student set up standards, said Professor Schmeing, and added that these standards which are developed during college days will persist throughout life. In concluding his address, Profes sor Schmeing stressed the fact that one of the important responsibilities in teaching is to show the students how to evaluate, not by telling them what is valuable, but by having them evalu ate and grade for themselves. O piRL-OF-THE-HOUR is Dorothy Georger, freshman, who was one of the girls invited from colleges all over the country to spend the week-end of May 6 doing Dartmouth. The occasion was Dartmouth's annual Green Key dance, one of the traditional and most important of the New Hampshire col lege's social events. To excited queries from her friends, the dark-eyed freshman from Wilmette replies that Dartmouth is gorgeous, and that she liked especially the ivy-eovcred dorms and the mellow old Hanover Inn where she stayed. * * * SPEAKING of spring, it seems that numbers of collegians are going ro mantic in a definitely poetic way. Almost any day of the week you will find flow ers of every shape and size adorning sweaters, jackets, and what-have-you. To mention only a few, Patricia O'Toole gets spring-like with dainty lilies-of-the- valley; Helen Sheahan and Clare Ander son pin gaily colored carnations in their lapels. With spring formals filling the week-ends, corsages are in high favor. Marie Vonesh and Rita de Casseli are rarely seen without their cuslomary clus ters of tea roses and sweet peas; Geor- gctttc Thoss wears tiny rosebuds, and Catherine Ann Dougherty fills all and sundry with envy of those huge gardenias she wears with such nonchalance. Finally, there is Jean Loach, who works on the theory of an-orchid-a-weck. Which we approve by saying nice work if you can get it. * * * W7HILE we're on the subject, we'd ** like to distribute a few orchids to the journalists who made the Mundelein page in the Evening American possible. Under the student editorship of Anna marie Masterson, the page, announced on the Northwestern page of May 6, appeared last Thursday, with activities pictures and with stories by Catherine Heerey, Priscilla Moore, Edythe Will iams, Adelaide Nilles, Frances Geary, Margaret Gleeson, Kathryn Byrne, An gela Kospetos, Clare Anderson, Violette Lasker, and Margaret Mary Kreusch. * * * DERHAPS it's her gay and efferves cent personality, or perhaps her tal ent for capturing the fanciful mood of the fairy tales that has made Jean Span uth successful in playing children's roles on the new and charming WJJD radio program, Down Story-Book Lane. A freshman, Jean has been appearing on the program every Saturday morning for the past two months, and has played Hansel in Hansel and Gretel, and Rose Red in Snow White and Rose Red. * * * C AME reached down and touched an other freshman on Easter Sunday, when Bernice Bazata appeared in reci tal at Kimball Hall with Robert Metz. Bernice will make her debut as a concert pianist some time before long. * * * ''TWO other freshman spot-light hold ers are Adele Parrish, student of music and drama, who has appeared in the Empire Room of the Palmer House, and Jean Loach, who is now leading her own orchestra at the Brevoort Hotel. Thanks For The Memories Seniors Wear Emblems Since the Junior-Senior luncheon at the Wrigley Building last Tuesday, members of Class '38 have been wear ing tiny silver Mundelein shields on silver chains gifts given to tliem by members of the junior class. Geraldine Connell, junior president, welcomed the seniors at the luncheon, and Gertrude Brant, senior president, responded. The program included readings by Helen Coens and Marie Vonesh, junior drama students.
