The Reverend William A. Finnegan, S.J. dean of the Loyola University Col lege of Arts and Sciences, will celebrate Holy Mass and address the graduates, their parents, and members of the Col lege Sodality. Although previous Senior Sunday Masses have been read in Stella Maris Chapel, the large number of seniors and the decision to invite their parents and members of the Sodality has made necessary the arrangement to have Mass in the auditorium. The cap and gown procession will form in the social room on the second floor, proceed down the grand staircase and through the main corridor to the auditorium, where guests will be as sembled. Following the Mass, the seniors and their parents will be guests of the Fa culty at breakfast in die College-tea room. 0//er Adult Classes In Home Economics Adult classes in home economics, in troduced for the first time this year, meet on Tuesdays from 2 to 4 p.m. The clothing department offers a course in garment construction, with special emphasis on color, fabric, and line in relation to the personality of the wearer; budgeting, remodeling, and purchase of material and patterns.

Alumnae Members Win Recognition With Publications Among the successful contributors to current literary magazines and papers can be listed two alumnae who have recently gained recognition for their work. Joan Quilly '3-1, a member of the CLEPSYDRA staff in her junior and senior years and winner of the short story con test in 1933, has published several short stories. Her latest contribution, The Birth of a Warrior, appeared in the July issue of Thk Missionary. Wins Over 15,000 From among over 15,000 entries, a let ter submitted by Evelyn Lincoln F ogarty '34 was selected for publication in the King Feature Syndicate of the Chicago Herald ami EXAMINER on Aug. 22. In her junior and senior years, rs. Fo garty was co-editor of the Skyscraper, and before her marriage to Thomas A. Fogarty, a graduate of Loyola university in 1930, she did newspaper and maga zine work. As the subject for her letter, Mrs. Fogarty chose Why I Go To Church. Since its publication she has received letters of approval from religious lead ers and educators throughout the coun try with requests from the Paulist Fath ers in New York for permission lo use it as textbook material. Cites Problems The following are excerpts from Mrs. Fogarty's letter: We want a plan of life that has been tried, tested, and found good throughout centuries of experiment and we believe that we have found that plan as it was lived nineteen centuries ago by another young person a God-man . . . No matter how high we stand in school or business there are questions which no text book or sales talk can answer. The school isn't much help when Ihe soul-searching question of personal morality is to be faced, nor will the laboratory take us far when we face the mystery of death. Faculty Member Addresses Group At Art Meeting Aids in Organization of Catholic College Art Association Sister Mary Janet, B.V.M., head of the art department, accompanied by Sister Mary Carmelyn, B.V.M., also of the art department, attended the first general con ference of the Catholic College Art association, held at Saint Mary-of-the- Woods college, Oct. 16-17, and addressed the delegates on The Appreciation of Christian Art.

Expanding Science Forum Organizes Three Divisions Sophomores Open Social Season With Cotillion At Congress Tonight Communism Versus Catholicism Will Be Drama Theme lust about a year ago, a Skyscraper reporter turned in copy about a skyrocketing development in scientific interest, evidenced by the registration of 300 students in science classes. Willi registration for science still mounting, the Science Forum, distin guished in years past for its stimulating lecture program and for its champion ship basketball team, has announced that because of the large number of students enrolled as pledges or regular members, it will hold divisional as well as general meetings this year. The officers of the Forum, announced in the Who's Who column on page 4, will continue to function as general directors, with the Faculty Moderator, but special representatives of the bio logical, physical, and mathematical di visions will cooperate in planning pro grams. Because of the varying interests of the different science majors, this divis ional system was established last week, with a view to permitting each group to progress according to its special preferences. The divisions in the Forum corres pond to the departmental groupings in the college division of natural sciences, with Sister Mary St. Helen, B.V.M., chairman of the division, acting as mod erator of the entire Forum, and the Faculty heads of the different divisions in charge of the several groups. Mary Corby is chairman of the bio logical department, with Virginia New ell and Gertrude Feeny as representa tives. Lucille Trudeau is chairman of the physical department, with Katherine Dc- Lage and Marie Lynch as representatives, and Frances Geary holds the office of chairman for the mathematical depart- men, with l.oretta Klodzinski and Helen Holman as representatives. Each department will meet twice a month and the entire Science Forum will meet quarterly with a guest speak er or some special feature for enter tainment. Over 100 students pledged the Forum at the Student Activities Fair, on Oct. 8. Pledges choose their own divi sions for special club activity and share in the programs at general Forum meet ings, pending the acquisition of suffi cient points for membership. Unselfishness Is Principle Taught In Charm Course The Charm School these days is no longer bounded by the two covers of Miller and Milton's play, but has blos somed forth in all its splendor in the lectures on Charm and Personality be ing given three successive days each week in the assembly hall on four, by Sister Mary St. Remi, B. V. M., head of the clothing division of the home economics department, and author of Charm And Personalty. This charm school, however, is dif ferent from the popular conception of charm schools, because it has a sparkl ing personality all its own. It does not advocate the of-yourself, by-yoursclf, and for-yourself variety of charm, but rather emphasizes a charm that springs from unselfish consideration of others and intelligent consideration of the best means by which to influence others for good. According to Sister Mary St. Remi, the secret of the charming woman is threefold: she is a good Christian, for a Christian practices kindness, and kind ness, according lo Emily Post, is the essence of charm; she is always gracious; and, in order to make life a bit happier for everyone who sees her, she is lovely to look at. The first lecture, given successively on Sept. 27, 28, and 29, gave a general out line of the 20 lectures which make up the course, indicating at the outset that the content is not a magic formulae by which the immature collegian may be transformed in a few months into a (.Continued on page 3, col. 4) Amusement, suspense, pathos these are the promise of the season's dramatic offering.

Casting is scheduled for the coming week, and the date of production will be announced later. The drama department, according to a recent announcement, has arranged to give an amateur production of Lady PrECIJUS Stream, famous old Chinese play, by Pao-Chuan Wang, translated into English according to the traditional Oriental style. Morris Guest has undertaken a pro fessional revival of the play in New York this season, and the players will not present it until after the English touring company brings it to Chicago. It will be presented at the College, how ever, sometime next year. Faculty to Attend Education Meeting Members of the Faculty will attend the regional meeting of the Progres sive Education Association at the Pal mer House on Oct. 28, 29, 30. William H. Conley, A.M., president of Wright Junior college and Mun delein coach of debate, will participate in a panel discussion on The Reports of the National Resource Board, With Special Reference to Human Resources, following an address on that subject by Newton Edwards of the University of Chicago.

Marjorie McPartland Will Lead Informal Party In Gold Room At long last, the Sophomore Cotillion forecast has been released, and ihe in dications are that informal attire, high hats, and veils will appear in large numbers when the sophomores gather with their friends in the Gold Room of the Congress tonight for their first class dance and for the first all-college social affair of the season.

Press Only Mirrors Public Opinion Now That the press is no longer a molder of opinions, but is rather a mirror of opinion, is the opinion of outstanding speakers representing every phase oi journalism who addressed 500 college delegates at the Associated Coll .'giate Press convention on Oct. 14-16. To those collegians who are inter ested in following journalism as a ca reer, the advice to start on a small-town newspaper was emphasized. Representing Mundelein were Joanne Dimmick and Elizabeth Higgins, co- editors of Clepsydra, and Annamarie Masterson, Julia Mary Hanna, Catherine Heerey, and Priscilla Moore, members of the Skyscraper staff. Daily News Editor Announces Contest Would you like to earn fifteen dollars just a few weeks before Christmas, and enjoy, together with it, the pride of seeing your short story in the Chicago Daily News? Then write a story of 1000 words and submit it to the English department on or before Dec. 1. The three best stories submitted will in turn be given to John P. Lally, fiction and education editor of the Daily News, who will make the final decision. Mr. Lally announced the contest, the second sponsored by the Daily News for Mundelein story writers, when he spoke to the members of the journalism classes on Oct. 19. Supplementing the story contest, Mr. Lally anounced that the paper will give a five-dollar award to the Mundelein artist who submits the best illustration for the winning story. Distinguishing between the literary and the commercial short story, Mr. Lally explained that the latter strives for no subtle artistic effects, but aims to pre sent in the first 150 words the essentials of the plot, or the problem, and to develop through dialogue and characteri zation, compactly organized, the incident and the climax. Since the commercial short story is increasingly popular in current maga zines, it is this type which Mr. Lally recommends that contestants write. Questioned about careers for women in journalism, Mr. Lalley spoke en couragingly of the radio as a growing field, and counseled students in the radio script writing class to look ahead to the not-distant time when their scripts must be prepared for adaptation to television. Mr. Lally, a former member of the Mundelein Faculty, is the father of Eleanor Lally, freshman. BULLETIN Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, sponsored by the College Sodality, will be given in Stella Maris Chapel at 3 o'clock today.
