May 14, 193' THE SKYSCRAPER Pag,e 3 Maytime Dinner Draws Alumnae To North Side With Ann Lally '35, president of the Alumnae association, presiding as host ess, the Alumnae enjoyed a Maytime dinner party at Bradshaw's on the near north side, at 6:30 last evening. According to announcements sent out by Miss Lally and Miss Gloria Barry '34, instructor in Spanish and secretary of the Alumnae, the dinner was planned to renew pleasant friendships, and to discuss plans for the formal initiation, reception, and tea to be given for the Class of 1937. The reception, according to Miss Lally, will include a new ceremonial this year, and will be held in rooms on June 6. Two alumnae members have chosen days in May for their weddings. On May 1, Lcnore Manning, president of the S.A.C. in 1934, came direct to the Col lege from her marriage at St. Gertrude's church to Horace Smith. Miss Manning wore a white lace gown, a coronet-shaped lace cap, and a long veil. Justine Feely, '34, was the maid of honor. Eleanor Joyce, '32, former president of the Alumnae, will be married to Frank Edward McWayne, Jr. at St. Gertrude's, on May 22.

With Comprehensives I Alpha Omicron Elects; Over, Seniors Make Plans Vogue Hour Plans for Ball Seniors Receive Favors at Luncheon The traditional Junior-Senior banquet which marks the juniors' token of fare well to the graduating class was held at the Georgian Hotel in Evanston, on last Tuesday. Spring colors predominated in the decorations of the banquet room of the Georgian, and small novelty favors added to the note of festivity. Individ ual compacts bearing the college crest were given to the seniors. The S. A. C. and class officers pre sided at the speakers' table. Gertrude Brant, junior president, gave the initial greeting, to which Wilma Roberts, senior president, responded. Margaret Madden and Agnes Griffin played violin and piano selections, after which Concetta Alonzi and Mary Cather ine Connell entertained with readings. Further musical renditions were pro vided when Virginia Newell sang Sweet hearts, from Maytime, and Kathryn Wolford played her own original compo sition for the Senior Ball.

Discusses Careers For Women Basic qualifications for success in the business world, according to Mrs. Miette Cummings, of the Chicago Collegiate Bureau of Occupations, are a good, sound American education; tools for the chosen field, if possible shorthand and type writing; and self-honesty, or a just val uation of one's own abilities and willing ness to make the most of them. According to Mrs. Cummings, the fol lowing fields are easily accessible to col lege women: teaching, social service, merchandising, personnel, college adminis tration, home economics, and library work. Seniors Call It a Day gt; gt; By Ruth Collins Beginning the exclusive senior com prehensive promenade a revelation of smartness, so to speak Marjorie Free- burn, wearing a gray tweed suit and a diamond ring further evidence of brilli ance on the strategic finger, arrived at 8:28 a.m. on the tragic morning of May 7, not because she couldn't wait for the comprehensives to begin but because she forgot the hour of their opening. At 8:30, Anna McCracken, swagger in a blue-caped sport dress with white polkadots, arrived with a bulky book in her hand. Followed a steady stream of seniors who, by 9 o'clock, had filled the fourth- floor assembly (from the balcony we could see only 12 rows across and five rows back but we assume that the others were filled), 70-odd seniors, arrayed in sweaters, tailored tweeds, or just suits. There were three seniors with combs, a large percentage with dark hair, and a hundred percent with green books. A scarcely perceptible stir occurred at 10:25 when Part I of the examinations was turned in and Part II was distribu ted. The stillness was, if possible, more oppressive during the second era. Three seniors filled fountain pens. From the balcony we observed Gene vieve DelBeccaro, creator of Clepsy dra's Lou Sandra stories, wearing a rose colored sweater and tugging occasionally at her short curls. A green turban crawl ing around Marion Morrison's russet hair brightened Seat 2, Row 6. Jean McKeever, in a cheerful green sweater, sat where a ray of sunlight played on her new diamond ring. Cecilia Wasisco looked the typical scholar, de mure in a tailored blue dress. Wilma Roberts, in a gay print with a red belt, pondered over marginal in crements, or something. At 11:10 Rosemary Walsh turned in her books and departed. At 11:15 Vic toria Dalber was finished. We concluded that the art exam was streamlined. At 11:37 radio-actress Mercedes Me- Cambridge straightened her rose-colored sweater, screwed on the cap of her fountain pen. turned in her papers, and walked down the center aisle with a not- too-funereal air. At 11:41, Rita Devaney, wearing the fifteenth pair of white shoes and the gayest green sweater observed, turned in her paper. Bride-for-an-evening Sheila Sullivan left at 11 :44, followed spasmodically by the rest of the senior class, who, when the class bell rang at 11:50, looked ready to CALL IT A DAY. Science Forum Plans Breakfast for May 23 Officers of Alpha Omicron for the coming year were elected at a recent meeting of the Home Economics club. Sue Adams was chosen as president, Catherine Heerey, vice-president, Betty Boehme, secretary, Betty Dilger, treas urer, and Roberta Scheid, social chair man. Following the meeting refreshments were served in the model apartment by freshman hostesses. Plans were likewise made for the an nual Vogue Hour, a fashion revue pre sented by home economics mannequins, which will take place on May 24 at 3 p.m. in the social room. The fashions modeled will be furnished through the courtesy of Stephen Coleman Inc. Entertain Qroups College Wins Cisca Office For Second Year The Science Forum will formally ini tiate new members at a mother-daughter breakfast, on May 23. Preceding the breakfast, Mass will be celebrated for the Forum in the College Chapel, by the Reverend Martin J. Phee, S. J.

A farewell surprise party was the Or gan Guild's graduation present to Rita Smith and Veronica Kassis, senior or gan students, who were honored in the second floor social room on May 5. Refreshments were served after a short period of bridge. The table dec orations and flowers followed a color scheme of blue and gold and were planned by Alice Scanlan, Florence O'Callahan, and Alice Szambaris. Miss O'Callahan proposed the toast to Miss Smith and Miss Kassis was toast ed by Agnes Keely. Both guests of hon or were presented with gifts.

Is Official Organist Miss Smith, who was recently ap pointed official organist and choir di rector at St. Pius church, presented her graduate organ concert to an enthusias tic matinee audience on May 2. Especi ally effective among her selections was an original composition entitled Pierrot and Pierrette. For the second year, the College was elected to the office of recording secre tary of Cisca at the general meeting at Longwood academy, on May 6. Cath erine Heerey was again appointed to the position as a representative of the Col lege. The presidency will be held by Loyola university, corresponding secretary by Fenwick, treasurer by Loretto academy, Woodlawn, and the vice-presidency by Mount St. Mary-on-the-Fox. At the session the winners of the Storm Tossed poster contest were an nounced. Irene Waldron merited first place, and honorable mention was accord ed to Virginia Gaertner, Georgene Mc- Gowan, Patricia O'Reilley, and Clemence Bisson. In his address, His Excellency Bishop Bernard J. Sheil emphasized the need of fighting actively against communism in stead of merely talking about it. The Bishop concluded the convention with a holy hour. Mundelein was represented by Cath erine Heerey, Catherine Ann Dougherty, Anna Marie Masterson, Dorothy Fitz gerald, Margery Chapman, Helen Far rell, and Roberta Scheid. Mothers of Class '39 Are Luncheon, Movie Quests English Majors Take Precautions With thoughts of the coming compre hensives casting gloom over the senior members of the club, the English Round Table met on April 29 to discuss the literature of the eighteenth century. Catherine Ann Dougherty spoke on Addison and Steele, and Roberta Chris- lie gave a brief talk on Charles Lamb. Other members joined in an open dis cussion of the topic. Over tea and cookies, the club made plans for its final meeting. Sweet peas, candlelight, and gay colored gowns were highlights of the tea in the social room on Wed nesday, where the sophomores enter tained their mothers. Geraldine Connell and Dorothy Foy, president and social chairman of the class, headed the reception committee, which welcomed the mothers of Class '39 to the first college function ever given in special honor of sophomore mothers. Geraldine Ferstel was chairman of ; the tea committee, Dorothy Stalzer head ed the reservation committee, and Rose mary Conley was chairman of the invi tation committee. Following the tea, which was served at 2 o'clock, the guests attended a special showing in the auditorium of Pf.nrod and Sam, starring Billy Mauch. So Red the Rose By Rosemary Murnighan EAST is east and west is west, and never the twain shall meet, unless it's at Mundelein in the persons of Eve lyn Hurd (from the rock-bound coast of Maine) and Marjorie McPartland (to the sunny shores of California return ing for summer vacation). IF you're one of those startled people who look around for a little almond- eyed lady when a cry for Seggy Poo goes up, relax. It's only that lovely lass of the lilting voice, Peggy Sue Adams, the pride of her class. MARYHELEN Walker should be a good basketball player in her po sition as playground director down in Southern Illinois, last summer, she taught others how to play. V/fARGIE Burke, dark-haired dancer * r who starred in the Loyola Theatre party and in CHORIC MOSAICS last fall, is a veteran of Chicago Theatre presentations, and has presented dance recitals in almost every city in Florida. She was one of the graceful artists in the Evans Ballet, playing at the Chicago during the Christmas holidays and in addition to her work with the Verse Speaking Choir in the drama department, she has a dancing school of her own. T)ATRICIA O'Toole, incoming treas- -*- urer of the Student Activities Coun cil, cares not one bit for tropical fish, but speaks affectionately of the Gup- py. It was quite a revelation to find that the Guppy is her pet nickname for her younger brother. ON glancing over the exchanges, we found the last edition of the Sky scraper giving the Honor Roll. One lone freshman was listed for high honors, Florence Banach, who is also the creator and model of two of the good-looking prints we admired so much in the All- Freshmen Style Show. You remember, the one of carnation, the other of maroon polka dots. P WO pianos, exactly timed for accur- * acy. The nimble fingers are those of Betty Leslie and Catherine Keller, both music majors, Glee club members, and nice people EVER notice how much Jean Reilly looks like Madeleine Carroll? That half of the Rcillys would have you be lieve that Madeleine is the third of the Reilly triplets, who went to Hollywood instead of coming to Mundelein. Jean avers that Madeleine changed her name to Carroll, because she did not want it said that she got her success by trading on the fame of the Reilly name.
