THE SKYSCRAPER REFLECTIONS After a long search, we found Lucy Ryan in the library surrounded by a huge pile of Spanish books. Miss Ryan is a senior who is majoring in Spanish, and is now engaged in writing her thesis on a picaresque novel. This slim brown-haired young woman is secretary of the senior class, and holds the same office in the Philosophy club. Miss Ryan spent her freshman year at Clarke College, and is rather undecided about whether she will enter the teaching or the commercial field after graduation. She swims and plays tennis, and con fesses that she spends a great deal of her leisure time in reading modern poetry and Irish history. LENORE Manning was found in the social room with some of her classmates when we succeeded in get ting her to tell us a little about herself. Miss Manning was social chairman of the sophomore class last year, and led the right wing of the Junior Prom on Feb. 24 of this year, as prom chairman. She is majoring in English, and is keenly interested in the activities of the Philosophy club, of which she is a mem ber. Miss Manning was graduated from St. Seholastica's high school, and edited the annual in her senior year. At present this versatile junior is chairman of advertising for the Student Activities card party to be given in April. She plays the piano, keeps a diary, and tearfully admits that her secret sorrow is Anglo-Saxon. WE came upon Frances Burke, the dramatically inclined young vice-president of the sophomore class, chatting in the modernistic clubroom of the Laetare Players. Miss Burke is also vice-president of this college dramatic club, and was co-chairman of the party sponsored by it on St. Patrick's night at the Edgewater Beach hotel. Miss Burke's initial appearance in Mundelein dramatics was made last year when she gave an interesting performance in a one- act play entitled So That Is That. She played the part of a herald in The Marvellous Adventure of Bernard de Menthon, and was recently seen in the role of Princess Patina, in An Ex iled Princess, one of the plays which comprised the Mosaics. Miss Burke is majoring in speech, of course, and intends to try to put on one- man dramatic shows, something like those of Cornelia Otis Skinner. She has appeared from time to time in some of the plays produced by the Loyola Com munity Theater. Miss Burke enjoys an established repu tation as a capable stage makeup artist, and spends her extra time in writing dra matic monologues. With an impish twin kle, she tells us that her pet hobby is col lecting old hats and costumes, and she authorizes us to say that if anyone has any unwanted specimens in her attic, she would like to see them. WE waited until Julia Hagerty had finished addressing her assem bled classmates, and then proceeded to interview this very business-like presi dent of the freshman class. Since her enrollment at Mundelein, she has acquired considerable distinction by organizing the freshman sodality movement. Miss Hagerty became inter ested in sodality work at the Academy of Our Lady, Longwood, from which she was graduated last June. She is president of the Mission Unit of the Executive Board of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade, and is also president of the Pa trician Veteran Unit. Last year she was decorated with the grand cross of Para- din Leadership by the Very Reverend Monsignor James Horsburgh, for out standing mission work. Miss Hagerty is a member of Eta Phi Alpha and of the International Relations club. She is taking a pre-legal course, and expects to continue the study of law after she has received her liberal arts de gree. Her favorite sport is golf, and she modestly declares her average game ranks in the eighties. Mundelein Athletes Star on C. Y. 0. Teams With typical Mundelein spirit, sever al of our C. Y. O. basketeers won first place in the West Central section, while St. Jerome's, fighting against strong op position, acquired the North Shore cham- pionsliip. Each team boasts four Mun delein students. In capturing the section championship, St. Agatha's girls won a series of eight victories with no defeats. In two pre liminaries to the finals, they conquered Our Lady of Sorrows and Des Plaines. In a last-minute rally, they triumphed over St Hilary's in the quarter-finals. Sacred Heart Defeats St. Agatha Again in the semi-finals they scored an exciting victory to win from St. Agatha by the narrow margin of a free toss. Thus they battled to the finals, only to be defeated by Sacred Heart in the cham pionship game. Mundelein students on St. Agatha's team are Clementina Palo ney, Mary Lyon, Alyce Lyon, and Irene Lavin. St. Jerome's team played off its tie with St. Margaret Mary's for first place in the North Shore section on Sunday, March 26. After trailing throughout the game, St. Jerome's came up in the final minutes to tie the score. In the first overtime neither team scored, but in the second St. Jerome's scored a basket and a free throw to win 9-7. In the preliminaries of the finals, St. Jerome's was beaten by St. Henry's. Jane Flick, Helen Smith, Mary Louise Seitz, and Betty Jane Agnew play with St. Jerome's. South and West Teams Place St. Columbanus' team won second place in the South section and progressed to the second game in the final play, when it was beaten by St Joseph of Rockdale. Mary Jane Tully, Mary Ann Walsh, and Helen Daly of Mundelein play with St. Columbanus' team. Blessed Sacrament, in the West Central section, with Marie Lysaght, Rita Casey, and Marjory Carroll, took fourth place. In the same section, Our Lady of Angels' team, including Anna Daly, Loretta O'Ncil, and Dorothy Grace, was fifth. Our Lady Help of Christians, in the West Section, fiinished in third place. La Vergne Waindle is on this squad. POOL TO BECOME INDIAN FOREST FOR WATER CARNIVAL Honor Lily of the Mohawks In Annual Swimming Festival From the inner sanctum of the pool come hints of the Terrapins' spec tacular spring carnival. Some well- founded rumors have it that the theme is of Indian derivation and that on the night of May 12, stalwart Indians will dis turb the quiet of our crystal waters. The story is based on the life of Ka- teri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mo hawks. The Terrapins, eager to do their share of Catholic Action, arc taking this opportunity to bring before the public the simple little Indian maiden who is being considered for canonization at pres ent. The swimmers are hard at work per fecting some of their dives which re quire much skill for good execution. They are rejoicing in the addition of a new high dive to the pool equipment. At the tryouts on March 7, Julie Ma- tenaers passed the test for Senior Ter rapins and Mary Louise Seitz was ad mitted to the Juniors.

Sophomore Mermaids Win Interclass Meet An enthusiastic audience witnessed the first Mundelein interclass swimming meet conducted on March 28 in the pool.

The freshmen came in second with 22 points, and the juniors merited third place having 9 points. Additional indi vidual scoring honors go to Pauline Du zeski and Lucia Mazurek, who had 9 and 8 points, respectively.

SKYSCRAPINGS Our two collegiate ping pongists, Helen Stretch and Evangeline Cohan, would better begin practicing, for Lucille Barret has tossed her glove into the ring, and wishes to challenge them. Mary Ellen Decker is the assistant di rector of a play entitled Ghosts on Par ade, soon to be produced by the Alpha Lambda Zeta sorority. Virginia Meis, Ruth Hottinger, and Rita Eppig, three of our capable pianists, were the guests of Delphine Hellwig at a fashion show and bridge given by the Illinois Catholic Woman's club at the Palmer House last Saturday. On Saint Patrick's night, Dorothy Grace attended the Saint Patrick acad emy prom at the Knickerbocker hotel. A group of the speech students at tended the Goodman theatre production of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion on Saturday, March 18. It is the story of the rise of Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl of the London slums, to Eng lish society. TO MAKE A ROMAN HOLIDA Y By Charlotte Wilcox All talk led to Rome recently in the freshman history of civilization classes, when, after completing an extensive sur vey of that ancient nation, the members joined in a gala two-day forum on Tuesday and Thursday, March 21 and 23, and discussed Rome from Romulus to Mussolini. In opening the initial session on Tues day morning, Julia Hagerty, freshman president, and Mary Katherine Shoe- bridge, class treasurer, hung the new American flag, a beautiful silk banner with gold fringe and cross-bar, which the civilization classes presented to their instructor. Following the ceremony, the assembly saluted the flag and sang a verse of the Star-Spangled Banner, and of Amer ica. Native patriotism having been thus assured, the program got under way. What was perhaps the most novel number of the entire forum was the broadcast (behind a convenient screen) of a gladitorial combat through the courtesy of the Eternal City Toga Com pany, presented by Mary Finnegan and Lillian Klimas. After a commentary on the style worn by feminine arena enthusiasts, and the promise of balls for the kiddies during the three-day sale of the Toga company the program was given over to a more serious discussion of the advisability of the Punic wars, in which Mary Kathe rine Shoebridge and Helen Shannon spoke in favor of Rome's participation, and Violet Hans and Mary O'Callahan spoke against it. When the first afternoon session had been opened by an interesting review of Bulwer-Lytton's Last Days of Pom peii, by Myrtle Peterson, an appropriate song, In Italy, was sung by Doris Winthrop and Leona Killeen. The in tense feeling with which Alberta Lyons delivered the famous oration, Spartacus to the Gladiators, won the genuine ap plause of the audience. The Martyr dom of St. Agnes was the subject of a talk by Mary O'Brien, after which a touching legend connected with the be loved saint was enacted by Patricia Gill- more. On Thursday morning, Sophie Staliga opened the forum with an account of a visit through the Roman catacombs, which was followed by a talk on Roman Sculpture by Mary Finnegan. With an explanation of the Sibylline Books Eileen Hettinger prefaced an orig inal dramatization of the purchase of these prophetic works, in which the King was portrayed by Sabina Slarzynski, and the Sibyl by Eleanor Hopkins. As the angered King looked indignantly upon the burning of the precious volumes by the sorceress, there was just the slight est suspicion of hope on the part of the amused audience who recognized them as familiar textbooks. What was probably one of the most honored groups in Rome was her Vestal Virgins, who, according to an account Catherine O'Connor, Betty Fraser, Ed- wina Hearn, and Mary McNulty assem bled at the home of Mary Jane McDer mott on Saturday evening for a few rub bers of bridge spiced with a great deal of conversation. We saw Mary Flynn and Irene Timko at Lyon and Healy's the other day buy ing music for the Orchestra recital which will be given some time in May. Last week when a Roman Forum was introduced into the European History class, the appearance of two gladiators was listed as an added attraction. When Ann Lally's bewildered father was given a private showing of her new spring bonnet which boasts a bunch of prickly straws made into a feather dust er effect on its crown, he solemnly warned her to beware of horses, lest the hat meet the fate of Zeuxis' grapes. by Dorothy Sipes, had power to free captives. An illustration of this was given by Marie Lysaght as the captive, Harriet McDermott as the captor, and Rita Casey, Annamae Shinnick, and Vir ginia Rose Corcoran as Vestals. A symposium on the Customs and Habits of the Ancient Greeks and Ro mans was presented by Elaine Switzer, Katherine Weniger, Loretta Brady, and Julia Hagerty, the last of the group re ceiving quite an ovation from the au dience after she had introduced herself as one sent to the students of the twen tieth century from the world beyond by commission of the provident father, Zeus. In the concluding session of the forum, on Thursday afternoon, the assassination scene from Shakespeare's Julius Cae sar was presented under the direction of Selma Laskcr. The cast consisted of Catherine Schroeder as Caesar, Mary Touhy as Brutus, Bernice Thoma as Cassius, Catherine Whiteside as Casca, and Virginia Healy, Marjory Carroll, Dorothy Boynton, Rose C. McCormick, Dorothy Oliver, and Grace Cashin as the other Senators. The production, highly acclaimed by the assembly, proved the histrionic, as well as historic ability of the participants. As the concluding, and surely one of the best numbers of the forum, Violet Ki- thane, also coached by Miss Lasker, de claimed Mark Anthony's funeral ora tion. Rosemary Guinivan, vivacious sopho more, made her radio debut on station WMAQ on March 16. She is playing the leading character in a skit entitled Cupid's Children, which comes on the air every Thursday at 7:30 P. M. Madeline Palucci and Audrey Lund- mark are taking part in The Escape, soon to be presented by the Pierrette Players of Hull House. At a senior meeting on Thursday after noon, March 16, Dolores Savage was elected by her classmates as their Senior Ball chairman. Miss Savage is an active member of her class, and is well quali fied for the position for which she was chosen. Following the election, tea was served in the fifth floor social room. Vocation Week Program Presented By Sophomores At the vocation week program, pre sented by the sophomores at their assem bly period on March 28, Mary Dick, class president, announced the following num bers. Polonnaise Americaine, Carpenter, and Naiads at the Spring, Juon, played by Ruth Hottinger; Marriage as a Career, discussion, Mary Agnes Tynan; He Thought He Needed a New Wife, a monologue, Kathryn Ann Walsh; The Vocation to the Single Life, Phyllis O' Neill; Which, a reading, Mary Colette Casey; Religious Life as a Career, Jean O'Connor; Our Lady as the Model of all Vocations, Helen Driscoll.
