I.b Junior As a fitting and friendly climax to a hard-fougnt soccer tournament, victors and vanquished met at an informal sup per in the College tea room, on Nov. 16, to hear the announcement of the All- Star Team, by Rita Casey, president ot the W.A.A. Harriet McDermott, who deserves much credit for the able manner in which she assisted Miss Schirz in making the tourney a success, was hostess for the affair. iw *i The seniors, by defeating every other class team, wrenched the soccer crown from the sophomores, defending champ ions, who placed second. The freshmen and juniors placed third and fourth re spectively. Defeat Juniors 7-0 In the opening game on Nov. 13, the seniors easily defeated the juniors 7-0, with goals by Irene Lavin, Mary Domes, Virginia Meagher, and Dorothy Rut strum. The second game of the after noon, a hard-fought battle between the sophomores and freshmen, resulted in a 13-6 score. Early in the game the freshmen took the lead with a goal by Sue Adams, but by the end of the first half, chiefly through the excellent team-work of Mil dred Parker and Felicia Pontecorvo, the sophomores were leading 7-2. In spite of two more goals scored by Miss Adams, the freshmen were unable to regain their lead. One of the highlights of the tourna ment was the opening game on Tuesday between the sophomores and seniors, the victors of the preceding day. Up until the last second of the game, the score remained 2-2, after goals by Irene Lavin and Mildred Parker. But just as the whistle blew to indicate the end of the game, Mary Domes kicked goal on a penalty to give the seniors a 3-2 win. Freshmen Win 6-0 In the game following, the juniors were unable to score against the fresh men, who, with goals by Sue Adams and Marie Louise Curran, finished the game with a lead of 6-0. The games on Wednesday were the hardest fought of the tournament. The sophomores, after defeating the juniors 5-2, hoped for a freshmen victory over the seniors so that they would have an opportunity to challenge the seniors for the championship. But the seniors de feated the freshmen 5-2, making them selves undisputed champions. On Thursday afternoon, prior to the banquet, the Army-Navy teams, representing the outstanding players of the sophomore and senior classes against a combined squad of freshmen and juniors, battled to a final score of 4-2. Sue Adams, captain of the freshman team, was high-point leader of the tournament having made 12 points in 4 games; Mildred Parker followed with 10 points; Mary Domes and Irene Lavin were responsible for 6 points each. LINEUP: Do Morris Dances In Twelfth Night Even the dances in Twelfth Night will be Elizabethan, according to an an nouncement by Miss Catherine Schirz, instructor in physical education, who is training a group of freshmen and sopho more physical education students to do Morris dances. These are the traditional dances of Merrie Olde England, and are so called because they are executed to the one time famous Morris step. They require great physical endurance, Miss Schirz de clares, since they are performed very rapidly. The numbers on the Twelfth Night program will include The Blue-Eyed Stranger, How Do You Do, Sir, Bean Setting, and Shepherd's Hey. Bcrly Klein, Mary Margaret Smith, Rita Hagel, Mae Sexton, Roberta Christie, and Ruth Mary Gorman will dance at the Friday and Sunday perform ances. Charlotte Huen, Mildred Parker, Wan da Jaworski, Florence O'Callahan, Ruth Quirk, and Jean McKeever will dance at the matinee on Saturday and at the per formance on Monday evening. Ann Pazemis, Emily Paska, and Violet Kilbane, members of the College orches tra, will play for the dances. W.A.A. Pledges Support To Laetare Players Army S. Adams M. Carroll H. Mahoney J. Martin M.

Meagher At its second regular business meeting on Nov. 15, the W.A.A. passed a resolu tion pledging the support of the club to the Laetare Players in their Twelfth Night production. Marjorie Carroll was appointed chair man of a pledge party to be given Nov. 26; she will be assisted by Mary Domes, Virginia Meagher, Roberta Christie, Irene Lavin, and Mary Touhy. With the soccer season over, plans were made for the volley ball season, Ruth Mary Gorman being elected mana ger. Miss Gorman asked the coopera tion of all members in making the tourna ment as successful as the recent soccer tilt. Freshmen Choose S. A. C. Members As the first official act of their col lege careers, members of the freshman class assembled on Nov. 14 and elected Ann Ellen Smith and Shirley Brice to represent the class of '38 on the Student Activities Council. Helen Farrell and Mary Coen volunteered to act as chair man and recording secretary, respec tively, protem. In order to expedite business, the fresh men counselors appointed Marguerite Dunnion, Ixirraine Manske, and Catherine Heerey as tellers. Miss Smith, who is the sister of Sallie Agnes Smith, senior and president of the Laetare Players, is a graduate of the lmmaculata high school, where she was vice-president of the class. Miss Brice, who is also from the lmmaculata, was on the staff of her school paper. Freshmen Recreate Egyptian Customs In History Class American life triumphed over Egyp tian, as far as social customs are con cerned, by the decision of two out of three of the history of civilization classes, who held open forums on the question on Oct. 26. Lorraine Manske led the discussion in' Section A, assisted by Thalia Kakarakis, Betty Furlong, and Betty Kelso. Helen Coleman was the leader in Section B, and was assisted by Julia Mary Hanna, Margaret Mary Murray, Rosemary Ronan, and Rosemary Lux. Mary Jane Griffin led in Section C, assisted by Maurita Kelly, Lois Schoen, Dorothy Schultz, and Ann Ellen Smith. Esmine Kakarakis was in charge of the second program in section A and was as sisted by Margaret Marleau, Lucille riuccino, Dorothy Audett, and Rosemary Byrne. Egyptian culture was the topic for consideration, and Marion Schmitz played a violin solo after which class members sang a chorus of Song of the Nile. Pictures of Egypt, today and yes terday, were passed around the class. See Movies of Ancients Josephine Carton was chairman in section B, and, assisted by Dorothy Nee, Jeanne Kelly, Irene Kartholl, and Lois Steffens, presented a program of stereop- ticon slides. Section C undertook an explanation of fine arts in Egypt, led by Helen Bul chunis, chairman, Anna Marie Masterson, Catherine O'Connor, and Grace Igleski. On Nov. 16, Section A enjoyed another musical program and a discussion of the music and instruments of ancient times. Elizabeth Higgins acted as chairman, as sisted by Mary Corsalli, Marion Schmitz, Margaret Trone, and Louise Leggitt. A personal touch was added in section B. Maryhelen Flanagan read several letters which she has received from a friend in Egypt. Miss Flanagan was as sisted by Kathryn Kamschulte, Katherine DeLage, Mabel Brown, and Alberta Boden. Resurrect Queen Tut Section C, under the chairmanship of Eileen MacCauley, took the class back to Egypt by presenting a few characters of professional life in the ancient empire. Florence Ackerman spoke on Queen Tut; Edythe Coyne impersonated an under taker embalming a king; Dorothy Dozois took the part of a lawyer in charge of Egyptian marriages, and, at the close of the program, Rita Granhold took the en- lire class to a dinner party in Ancient Egypt. St. Mary's Alumnae Return for Reunion The success of St. Mary's homecoming of Nov. 18 was due in part to the efforts of Mundelein students who are alumnae of St. Mary's. As part of the program following the breakfast, Mary Agnes Tynan read Poetry and Plaster, a one- act play, and Rita Smith played two piano selections, Winter, by MacDowell, and Scherzo, by Martucci. Irene Lavin, vice-president of Mundelein's S.A.C, ar ranged the breakfast and announced the program. The Skyscraper extends the sympathy of the Faculty and students to Margaret Mary Walsh on the death of her father, to Mary Orpha Albright on the death of her grandmother, and to Justine Martin on the death of her grandmother. Qive 250 Volumes To College Library Ninety-seven volumes of scholarly Latin works and one hundred and sixty- one volumes of English classics were added to the library last week, the gift of the Reverend John Prendergast and the Reverend Thomas Prendergast of Kansas City, Missouri. This is the sec ond group of books which the Fathers has given to the College. The Latin works, which are for the most part theological or controversial, include a six-volume set of the Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas, a Compendium of Moral Theology by Gury-Ballerini, Historia Ecclesiastica by Jungmann, in eight volumes, and a number of commentaries on Scripture. The English collection contains Al- zog's Universal Church History, in four volumes; Bancroft's History of the United States, in six volumes; a sixteen-volume set of Americana; six teen volumes of Dicken's novels; seven volumes of essays and critical works by Newman, eleven volumes of Shake- peare, ten volumes of travel, and a twenty-volume set of French romances in translation. Especially interesting among the Eng lish books are MacEvilly's Expositions of the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, and Seisenberger's Practical Handbook for the Study of the Bible. Hold Two Debates In Forensics Club Whether or not our educational sys tem has need of Federal aid was the point heatedly contested by Ann Ellen Smith and Julia Mary Hanna, upholding the affirmative, and Katherine De Lage and Mary O'Brien of the negative, at the meeting on Nov. 14. At the conclu sion of the last rebuttal, the audience cast its vote in favor of the affirmative. The advisability of Federal censorship of the movies was defended by Rita Tatge and Isabel Graham and opposed by Catherine Ann Dougherty and Jeanne McAuley in the debate of Nov. 7. The audience decision was in favor of the affirmative. In the absence of the presi dent, Mary Agnes Tynan, Ruth Tangney, secretary, presided. The evils of the present system were outlined, as well as the many evils likely to result from Federal control, and the work of the Legion of Decency was ex pounded by both sides. An open forum discussion followed, after which the de bate coach, William H. Conley, M.A., closed the meeting with a brief discussion of censorship as opposed to control. SKYSCRAPINGS Monsignor Rothensteiner Tells Story of His Books Terrapins Announce Water Polo Plans If you have long cherished a desire to play water polo, the Ter rapin club is your greatest bene factor, for it has added this sport to the list of activities which it sponsors. Everyone, regardless of lack of affiliation with the club, is welcome. Meetings are held on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 4 p. m. Games will be played according to standard wa- . ter polo rules with variations to suit any special needs. When some degree of proficiency is at tained teams will be formed and a tournament played. (Continued from page 1, col. 1) little now and then, he admitted. His latest work, published for his Golden Jubilee in May of this year, is A German Garden of the Heart and consists of lyric poetry translated from the German. It is easily seen that books and litera ture are his best-loved subjects. My favorite authors are Shakespeare and Eichendorff. My favorite character? I believe it's Ekkehard. The type of poetry he likes best is reflected in his own versification of the romantic lyric. Informed how beloved he was at Mun delein, the Monsignor left a single thought for the students. Per aspera ad astra, he said, and then looking up in mock-anxiety, Did I do all right? This is the first no, the second time I've been interviewed, you know. We assured him that he had risen to the occasion like a veteran, and the re membrance ' of his simplicity and the brown twinkle of his eyes made us real ize that here, too, was A German Gar den of the Heart. Alas Alas Ruth Quirk and Har riet Reed attended Gertrude Stein's' Four Saints in Three Acts at the Civic Opera House on Nov. 8, and we've been hearing about pigeons in the grass, alas, alas, ever since. ' We said our own alas when we heard that Rita Hagel, who likes her football whether or not (sorry) sat through a veritable cloud-burst to watch Purdue defeat Chicago at Stagg Field. Just a social butterfly is Violet Ra- ber, who, not one bit perturbed by the Stein controversy, waited for the of ficial opening of the opera season to at-, tend the performance of Turandot, on Nov. 10. Ella Jamieson turns her thoughts away from Twelfth Night by attending the Mount Carmel games each Sunday. We saw her again at the De La. Salle, charity game at the Stadium on Nov. 3, Jean Devaney spent the same afternoon watching the Chicago Bears, or Red Grange, depending on the point of view. Among the Mundelein delegation at the Loyola Academy Homecoming dance in the Academy gym, on Nov. 2, were Agnes Grogan and Katherine Ang- STEN. Somewhere among epaulets and Sam Brown belts we caught a glimpse of Mary Joyce Vail, Margaret Fitz gerald, Marjorie Greenwald, Mer cedes McCambridge, Margaret Mary Nolan, Marion Sifferman and Edith Dorn at the Army-Navy ball at the Drake Hotel on Nov. 10. When you saw them dash out of an elevator into a locker-room after Glee club on Nov. 9, , Lois and Evelyn O'Brien were hastening home to don their finery for the Trinity Junior Prom at the Medinah Michigan Avenue club. As usual, a large number of Munde lein girls attended Loyola's Fall Frolic at the Congress hotel on Nov. 9. Among them were Virginia O'Connell, Char lotte Wilcox, Marion Murphy, Mar garet Vendley, Harriett McDermott, Leona Murphy, Madge Hillenbrand, Helen Marie Loehr, Catherine Burke, Mary Costello, Catherine Lindley, Marie Bushnell, Elenor Loarie, Frances McCambridge, Mary Jane Griffin, Nancy Butler, Edith Coyne, Florence Griffin, Marjorie Carroll, Be-ity Haffner, Genevieve Collins and Bette Peterhans. Margaret Webb, Frances Woods, Mary Jane Nielson, and Florence McCormick, perhaps to counteract wor rying over approaching quarterlies, at tended the Big Sister charity dinner- dance held at the Palmer House on Nov. 10. Mary Margaret Smith introduced two of her residence hall friends, Ve ronica Kassis, of Wyoming, and Mary McManus, whose home is in Iowa, into the mysteries and intricacies of Illinois family life when they spent the week end of Nov. 2 at her home in Geneva. Whether they win or lose, Notre Dame's football team always draws a large crowd. At the Northewstern game on Nov. 17, we saw Mary Margaret Smith, Charlotte Huen, Mary Mc Manus, Sheila Sullivan, Mary Joyce Vail, Margaret Fitzgerald, Virginia Meagher, and Shirley Brice. Harriet Reed is the enterprising jun ior who believes in advertising. Placing an electric sign in an Evanston store, Miss Reed has invited that community to attend Twelfth Night. Mary Margaret Morrissey, chairman of the Eucharistic-Our Lady Academy and writer for the New World Cisca page, was on the air at 2:15 last Thurs day. Mary Margaret was the third Sodalist to broadcast over WSBC in the Cisca series, and spoke on The Four Standing Committees.
