November 27, 1935 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three Graduates Study, Teach, and Hold Office Positions One of the most popular occupations among the alumnae seems to be graduate work. Mary Margaret Morrissey '35 who achieved fame last year by winning a scholarship to the Catholic University of America, writes enthusiastically of her work there in American history. She and Jane Molloy, a fellow classmate who is also studying there, are exploring the Capitol city very thoroughly in their spare time. Another historian is Katherine Bren nan, president of the Charter class, who is working for her Master's degree in history at Loyola university. Agnes Gill '35 is also to be found at Loyola, where she is a busy social worker. Former Editors Study- North western university has claimed Gloria Barry, vice-president of the S. A. j C. in '34, whose life interest and hobby is still romance languages. Emer Phibbs, clepsydra editor and poet laureate of the Charter class, is there also, specializing, ot course, in English, and Ruth Tangney, ticket chairman for twelfth night last year, is also in the Northwestern gradu- ate school. Another scholastic institution, Normal, numbers Marguerite and Genevieve Col lins '35, and Fuller O'Malley, Corinne Murnighan, and Mary Honan of the Charter class among its students. Betty Smith '34 is also engaged in an intellect ual occupation; she is the librarian at the Edge-water hospital. Economists Meet Sucecss Economics majors in last year's class have had almost no difficulty in combat ing the depression, according to statistics of their jobs. Jane Flick, class secre tary, is private secretary to the dean of the Loyola school of commerce. Marion Fitzgerald is employed at the McCoy Schultin Company; Mary Mar garet Gerity is in the office of Carson, Pirie, Scott; Eileen Bartells is to be found in the office of the Underwood Typewriter company; Mary Jane Tully is an apprentice teacher, and Bernice Hendricks is working for the Catholic charities. Besides scholars, teachers, and private secretaries, we have brides-to-be in our alumnae. Mrs. John McCormick recently , announced the engagement of her daugh ter Florence, a library science major in last year's class, to Mr. William Busher of New York. Announcements of the marriage of Lucille Turk ex '34 reached Ihe College recently. I As we go to press, an announcement reaches us of Katherine Brennan's en- gagement to Charles O'Neill, of the Loyola university faculty. They will be married on Dec. 28. Margaret Cleary and Mercedes McCambridge, Genesius and Poppeae in The Comedian, provided striking contrast in character as well as in per sonal appearance. Players Score Success In Henri Gheon Play (Continued from page 1, col. 5) ette Brennan and Roma Murphy, assist ants to the director. Incidental music was furnished by the College Orchestra and by Rita Smith and Catherine Moran, organists. The entire performance reflected a powerful and discriminating direction, which had conceived the artistic costume designs and stage settings, and developed the mature and finished acting of the cast. Monsieur Rene Weiller, French con sul to Chicago, who attended the play on Sunday night, was delighted with the performance given to the work of his countryman, and epitomized a general opinion when he said of the actresses: They are so young, so lovely, and yet they feel deeply to act so well. Sophomore Hostesses Fete Alpha Omicrons Under the chairmanship of Florence Griffin, the sophomore members of Alpha Omicron gave a tea in the model apart ment on Nov. 20. Sue Adams, Isabel Pesqueira, and Catherine Heerey were assistant hostesses. I New members who attended the party sere Alice Addison, Clemence Bisson, Betty Boehme, Alice Brusky, Jean Ca- hill, Catherine Fahrendorf, Aileen Far- Irell, Margaret Finnegan, Margaret Fitz gerald, Mary Geiger, Veronica Gill, Mar jorie Hogan, Mary Hymes, Jeanne Kel- I ly, Genevieve Kruzel, Frances McCam bridge, Betty Marsch, Angela Pfeiffer, I Marjorie Quilty, and Betty Zoes. Has Abbe Dimnet Autograph Geraldine Ferstel is the envy of all literary-minded freshman, since, after hearing the genial Abbe Dimnet lecture I at St. Gertrude's Study club meeting last week, she secured his signature on his essay, How to Read the Newspaper, in the freshman Literary Studies. Miss Ferstel gave a report on the lec- I ture in her freshman rhetoric section last Wednesday. Artists Do Profiles As Initiation Stunt Heads we win might have been the motto of tlie Art club pledges at their initiation party on Nov. 20. Original profile drawings were among the diffi- cult-to-find articles which they were re quired to present to their hostesses. Turning dramatic as well as artistic, the pledges entertained with short plays and narrative poems before tea was served in the College tearoom. Entertain hoyolans At Tea Dance Today Rhythm is our business is the theme adopted by members of the social danc ing club, who will entertain 20 Loyola students at a tea dance this afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock. Maxine Lindsay, president of the or ganization, is chairman of the dance. Nancy Butler and Agnes Griffin will play for the affair. This social club made its initial ap pearance this year under the supervision of Miss Alma Jones, gymnasium direc tor, who instructs the members in correct modern social dancing patterns and posi tions. Fall Quarterly Released Today Dedicated to the memory of Mother Mary Isabella, B.V.M., and containing a symposium and a poem written in her honor, clepsydra, the College literary magazine, will make its fall debut today. The symposium includes a biographical sketch by Mary Catherine Rose, a tribute to Mother Mary Isabella as an educator and artist, by Loretta Brady, and as the foundress of Mundelein Col lege, by Jane Spalding; the poem is the work of Genevieve del Beccaro. The bimillennial celebration of Hor ace's birth is the motive for a criticism of his poem in an essay, Tlie Man Who Sang Off Key, by Mary O'Callahan, and for an informal glimpse of the great Latin writer in Dining With Horace, by Elizabeth Higgins. Other features include Jane Malkemus' I Saw a Ship a-Sailing, in which she de scribes adventures on Lake Michigan in her brother's boat, and a biographical essay on the American dialect poet, T. A. Daly. Fiction lovers will delight in the short stories by Elenor Loarie, Roberta Chri stie, and Miss Rose- The freshman class is represented by Gertrude Feeny, whose poem, Moon Over Sun is a noteworthy contribution to this issue, and by Irene Waldron who has illustrated a number of essays. Hear Mae Tinee, Fanny Butcher At WGN Studios Dorothy O'Donnell and Charlotte Wil cox represented the College at a Press Conference sponsored by the Chicago Tribune on Nov. 22, for officers and press chairman of women's organizations in Chicagoland. Conducted by Ruth DeYoung, who recently succeeded Miss Kathleen Mc Laughlin as Woman's Editor of the tribune, the conference included inform al addresses by a large number of that paper's feature writers, including Sally Joy Brown; Helen Bartlett, etiquette editor; Eleanor Nangle, Through the Looking Glass columnist; Rhea Seeger, fashion editor; Fanny Butcher, literary editor; and Mae Tinee, movie critic. Philip Kinsley, speaking on The Edu cation of a Reporter, gave the principal address of the afternoon. A brief enter tainment by prominent WGN radio ar tists, and conducted by Bob Elson, con cluded the program. In her brief talk, Mae Tinee, well- poised and charming, declared that at tending two or three movies daily had not lessened her enjoyment of them. Now and then they get septic, Miss Tinee remarked, and then we call in Dr. Legion of Decency. The Legion has done a great deal for the movies. It has driven the filth monger back into the jungle. Too, the Legion has taught us to dis criminate between really bad pictures and those intended for adults. There is a difference, you know I Loyola'Mundelein Philosophers Meet At 12 o'clock today Mu Nu Sigma will hold a joint program with Loyola university's Philosophy club in Cudahy library on Loyola campus. The program will consist in a discussion of Ramon Lull, a fourteenth-century philosopher about whom controversy has raged for six hundred years. The opening paper, on the life ol Ra mon Lull, will be read by Bernard Ber trand. Rita Casey, of Mundelein, will then discuss Lull as a hero of the Mission field, following which John McKian is to read a paper explaining Lullian phi losophy. The final topic will be Ramon Lull the Mystic, discussed by Jane Spald ing. At 3 o'clock today there will be a busi ness meeting of Mu Nu Sigma in Room 204 at which the chairman of the com mittee on a constitution, Rita Casey, will present the document for adoption by the members. Mexican Senoritas Dance At Spanish Club Meeting Dancing the Mexican Jarabe, national dance, in colorful native costume, Isabel and Juanita Pesqueira entertained Las Teresianas at the bi-monthly meeting of the club on Nov. 18. Following the Mexican number a one- act play, la primera msputa, was pre sented by Mary Lynch, Catherine O'Con nor, and Sarah Cardy. At a similar program on Dec. 9, Mary Frances Sullivan will entertain Las Teresianas with two Spanish dances. Commerce Club Has Bridge'Splash Tea Expansive turkeys trotting across the top of the Commerce News, feature page put out by the Commerce club for their splash-bridge tea on Nov. 20, listed the following student committee in charge of the party: Dorothy Grace, Veronica Kassis, Mar garet Hughes, Ruth Wunsch, Shirley Brice, Georgette Thoss, and Jane Lacey. WHO SAYS that the British haven't a sense of humor? Maisie Ward Sheed in a recent lecture at a near-by university propounded an unconscious and a conscious pun all in the space of a few seconds. Her thumb-print description of her husband as an Australian with a trickle of Scotch, was wittily supple mented by her twinkling, I beg your pardon, I meant a drop. MEANWHILE, we are seeking the Mundelein motorist who was ush ered to the curb by a motoring officer the other morning and asked whither she sped in so great haste. To Mundelein, quoth she, for an 8 o'clock class. Begone, quoth he, in merry mood, but take these three Loyolans with you, lest they miss their bells. All of which goes to prove that the police force be lieves in the beneficial results of educa tion. A MATEUR swimmers who inhabit **-the shallow end of the pool have formed an auxiliary of the Terrapin club. After deep consideration, the charter members, Helen Farrell, Mary Casali, Josephine Charlier, and Mary Ellen Lodge.have decided to call their organi zation the Paraffin club, and have selected water wings as their symbol. Icarus, Icarus, where art thou? A ND since we have gone classical, **we may recall that last chemistry lab night, after an exhausting two-hour struggle with the elements, we came upon a classics major, bending absorbedly over her notebook. Imbued with that air of benevolence which attacks one after lab, we ventured sympathetically that perhaps she'd soon be through conjuring up the while images of lofty Latin meters or stately hexameters. But no raising her eyes from the paper she remarked, concernedly, I'm trying to write an at tractive poster for the Classical club basketball team. Completely floored, your burdened cor respondent fainted away and dreamed sweet dreams of Ovid, dribbling down the gym floor, guarded by Horace and passing the ball to Virgil who tossed a basket and won for ye good old Classics club. Yahus Teamus 1 lt; i A LL'S QUIET on the Western * * Corridor, and the stairways, which suffered from an overdose of traf fic and talk while the Otis elevator shifted her responsibility and rested in the slumber of repair on Nov. 22, are enjoying a truly unique Thanksgiving feast, tomorrow. It has been rumored about that the Stepsville Community, composed of 8 Step families, begins its celebration with a parade, led by White Wall and his 32-piece military band. Af ter a turkey of soap, some dressing of water, and a plum pudding of oil polish ing, the Steps plan to retire and enjoy a week-end of peace and quiet to prepare them for the rigorous labor of Monday next. Pre-View of Thanksgiving Is Club Tea Feature Glee club members enjoyed a pre-view of happy holidays when they met for their Thanksgiving tea, Nov. 20, in the club studios. Catherine O'Connor, chairman, was assisted by Ruth Janiszewski, Cecelia Wasisco, Edythe Williams, and Marian Gilbert. Games were played and the re freshments included a preview of Thanks giving dinner pumpkin pie and coffee. Follow the Leader To Musical Fame The childish game that used to lead to such hilarious denouements ? Not at all I This game, played by the young com posers of the music department, is an intricate process by which one melody is followed relentlessly up and down, in and out, and all around the town by a tuneful shadow. The process is called a Canon, not meaning the belligerent kind oh I dear no but one that may evolve into such an innocent pastime as March of the Fairy Band contribution by Frances Mikkelson or a rollicking Gigu as writ ten by Mildred Sperry. These, and other contributions by Bes sie Kramer and Eleanor Solewska, will be added to the rapidly growing collec tion of original numbers composed by students and Faculty members and placed in the archives of the Isabella Music li brary.
