THE SKYSCRAPER .May 31, 1934 Five Seniors Win W.A.A. Gold Seal Maximum Award WINNERS OF W. A. A. QOLD SEAL Five seniors, Pauline Duzeski, Evelyn Lincoln, Margaret Mahoncy, Evelyn Mc Gowan, and Rita Patterson, have mer ited the highest athletic award conferred by the College the W. A. A. Gold Seal. Miss Duzeski is the only physical edu cation major in the Charter Class and has gained distinction in all W. A. A. activities and as a Terrapin. Miss Lincoln divides her interest be tween sports and things literary, but finds time to do both creditably. A tennis player of unusual merit, she has won several medals in city meets, and is a steady basketball, volley ball, soccer, and baseball player. Miss Mahoney, a history major, excels as a pitcher, and stars in basketball, vol leyball, and soccer. Miss McGowan, diminutive sportswom an, belies her size in the ease with which she plays soccer and volleyball, swings a baseball bat, or handles a basketball. An even more diminutive senior, Rita Patterson, has been a loyal supporter of the W. A. A. throughout her college days, and. has contributed to all the ath letic laurels won by her class. Cleven Receive Athletic Letters The athletic association will award major letters to Mildred Hora, Mary- Lyon, and Irene Lavin, and minor letters to Margaret McKeon, Morel Farmer, Mary Dwyer, Mary Ellen Buchanan, Helen Piper, Jean O'Connor, Virginia Meagher, and Lucille Barrett, at the as sociation banquet which will be held on June 7, at the Stevens Hotel. Class numerals in various colors will be awarded to all those who have played on a class team in one or more sports. The seniors who will receive gold nu merals are Evelyn Lincoln, Rita Patter son, Loretta Ruchay, Evelyn McGowan, Margaret McKeon, Mary Lyon, Mary Dwyer, Beatrice Marshall, Mary Frances I .ang, and Pauline Duzeski. The following juniors will receive red numerals: Edith Dorn, Helen Piper, Ma rie Bushnell, Lucille Barrett, Mary Domes, Dorothy Rutstrum, Irene Lavin, Clementina Paloney, Helen Daly, Jane Molloy, Mary Jane Tully, and Jane Flick. Margaret Meyer, Helen Keenan, Har riet Reed, Eleanor Hopkins, Margaret Anderson, Margaret Egan, Caroline Holland, Mary Touhy, and Lucille Reed, sophomores, will receive blue numerals. The freshmen to receive green numer als are: Catherine Finnegan, Felicia Pontecarvo, Marion Weber, Roberta Christie, Mildred Parker, Dorris Brown, Ruth Mary Gorman, Helen Bulchunis, Bernicc Walters, Rita Hagel, Alice O'Brien, and Margaret Vendley. We'll be seeing you at the W. A. A. banquet Rita Patterson. Evelyn McGowan, Evelyn Lincoln, Margaret Mahoney Terrapins Have Bank Account Having practiced the strictest economy in the presentation of the Water Car nival, the Terrapins revel in the posses sion of funds. At a meeting on May 17, they decided to give half their profits to the College, and to spend the remaining amount for bronze plaques, pins, and medals. The plaques, one to commemorate the members of past years, and the other listing the members of this year, will decorate the walls of the pool. Terrapin pins will be purchased for club members, and, to stimulate interest in the interclass swimming meet, a fund has been set aside to provide medals for victors in subsequent contests. Having thus sagaciously disposed of their fortune, the Terrapins rest on their well-earned laurels. Freshmen Triumph in Baseball; Win 3rd Championship The freshmen triumphed in champion ship style in the first round of the base ball tournament, on May 14, defeating the juniors with a score of 50-6. Playing short with only six on their teani, the juniors strove valiantly to stop the avalanche of freshman hits and runs, to little avail. Invariably, Felicia Pon- tecarvo's superb pitching baffled them when they came to bat. Outstanding in the freshman barrage for runs were three homers by Mildred Parker. Felicia Pontecarvo, and Margaret Vendley. The freshmen made 47 hits to the junior's 12. Lineup: Freshmen Juniors F. Pontecarvo p I. Lavin C. Finnegan c V. Meagher (c) D. Brown (c) lb M. Collins C.

In turn, the sophomores defaulted the championship game to the freshmen. And the fresh man close the sports season with four championships Congratulations CISCORA SPEAKERS LECTURE ON NRA FOR COMMERCE CLUB The Commerce club sponsored a bit of real Catholic Action, on May 8. when James Yore and John Bowman, of Loy ola university, presented for it an illus trated lecture, outlining the Papal pro gram in relation to the New Deal. The material was prepared by the Cis cora Committee on Industry, of which Mr. Yore is chairman, and the lecture has been presented before several mem ber schools of Ciscora. Polish Club Honors Foreign Ambassador Rainona Mcnczynski, president of the Mundelein Polish society, and eight other members of the organization represented the club at a tea given, on May 7, at the Illinois Athletic Club, by the Polish Stu dent's Association in honor of the secre tary to the Polish Ambassador at Wash ington. Eleanore Solewska. a member of the College Orchestra, played a violin solo at the tea. Other Mundelein students who attended were Genevieve Kruzel, Letitia Kalisz, Adele Kash. Helen Kostizyski. Jane Gorski, Irene Polocki, and Sabina Slarzynski. Tennis Fans Play During Examinations Examinations alternate with tennis matches in the lives of some of our more vigorous athletes, who are competing for the championship. Charlotte Huen, Evelyn Lincoln, and Cecilia Rowan have already survived two elimination meets. Mary Margaret Smith and Lucille Rusk, Margaret Anderson and Bernice Walters, and Eleanor Hop kins and Caroline Holland have not yet played their sets. The College champion, who will re ceive in addition to the honor of the championship 50 points for the Women's Athletic Association, will be determined by May 31. Tin-Can Armor Fails Gordon Medusa; War Is Over for Terrapins By Irene Lavin The Gorgon has clanked her last tin- canny clank, the twinkling T has trav ersed the length of the pool, and the still water proclaims the completion of the fourth annual water pageant. For Terrapins, life has suddenly be come dull and prosaic the sleep we longed for several weeks ago is strangely- unsatisfying now. Supper at home instead of at the Polly Grill lacks the anticipated flavor. Our dreams are amazingly free from formation sequence worries and images of grotesque costumes that will not, yet must. fit. After swimming daily for weeks with utter disregard for dripping heads, we all develop colds as soon as we sanely refrain from daily swims. The costumes over which we labored so valiantly and which looked amazingly pretty are packed away, having lost some of their lustre through continued duck ings. The ferocious dragon which plowed the stormy waters only a few short days ago has resolved itself into eight feet of orange oilcloth neatly rolled on a pole, six semi-hoops, and a barrel. The porpoises and dolphins have shed their green tails and now move by their own pedal manipulations. Perseus' winged slippers chafe at the confines of a se curely tied box, and that valiant person age walks sedately from class to class, pursued by gorgons and dragons more fierce than her erstwhile enemies. Pallas Athene returns to antiquity, and the Princess of the Evening Star doffs her gorgeous crown and grows pale and haggard with her beautiful daughters worrying over late term papers and the examinations, which incidentally, might have stolen Perseus' winged sandals, so swift is their approach. The delights of promiscuous spending of club dues have vanished, leaving the nightmare of unbalanced accounts. The (Continued in Col. 5) Two Thousand at Ciscora Meeting Thursday, May 10 Almost two thousand delegates attended the final convention of Ciscora for the current scholastic year, which was held at St. Mary-on-the-Fox at St. Charles, on May 10. Seventeen Mundelein So- dalists were present. Mass, read on an altar erected in the center of a large amphitheatre, opened the meeting. Business was carried on by- means of an amplifier which made possi ble perfect hearing, in spite of the deter mination of the wind to blow the words away. Mundelein College was re-elected to fill the post of recording secretary of the organization, the newly elected Munde lein prefect, Virginia Woods, being se lected to exercise the office. Loyola university, with James Yore presiding, has the office of president. St. Ignatius, Fenwick, and Loyola acad emy till the other offices. Adjournment was followed by Solemn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacra ment. It seemed significant that as Ben ediction began, the wind abated for the first time, leaving the air sublimely still and broken only by the rhythmic sound of the censer. The Mundelein Sodalists take this op portunity to express appreciation to the Ciscora moderator, the Reverend Joseph A. Reiner, S. J., and to the retiring pres ident. Louis Tordella, for their admirable work in Ciscora, and for their courtesy to the Mundelein Sodality. Sivimmers Win Places in Telegraphic Meet To cheer the closing days of school for Terrapins and students in general come the returns of the Telegraphic Swimming meet. We placed in a number of events. In the National division for schools with enrollments of less than one thou sand,, Helen Bulchunis placed fifth in the 40-yard back crawl, and fifth, likewise, in the 100-yard event, with Jean O'Connor seventh. In the 100-yard back crawl, Pauline Duezski placed fourth and Ruth Mary Gornian sixth. The total placed Mun delein in a three-way tie for fifth place in this division. In the central division, for all con testants regardless of enrollment, Helen Bulchinus placed seventh in the 40-yard front crawl event and tied for ninth place in the 100-yard crawl. When the field was restricted to Central division with enrollment less than 1000, Miss Bulchinus took second place in the 40-yard crawl, and second place in the 100-yard crawl. Jean O'Connor placed fourth in the 100-yard event. Pauline Duzeski placed third in the KXI-yard back crawl and Ruth Mary Gorman fifth. Thus Mun delein has a total of 14 points and third place in the Central Division of Colleges with enrollments of less than 1000. Journalists Visit Daily News Plant After learning that the Chicago Daily- News was founded in 1874 and that it employs 13,000 people, together with other interesting information, the mem bers of the journalism classes were shown through the editorial offices, the morgue, the art department, the engraving de partment, and the press room of the Daily News plant, on May 3. It was something of a surprise to find that all the work of this vast organiza tion is done with calm precision, and that an atmosphere of almost studious quiet prevails in the various offices. The class visited the Daily News in response to the invitation of Miss Jetta Steeg, director of the Daily News edu cational department. The following stu dents were present: Evelyn Lincoln, Jus tine Feely, Fuller O'Malley, Charlotte Wilcox, Eileen Hettinger, Mary Frances Petrie, Virginia Meagher, Mary O'Brien, Dorothy O'Donnell and Louise Teich. SKYSCRAPINGS With commencement in the offing, so cial affairs are getting more limelight than ever. Final exams cause enough flurry in themselves, but when they are topped off by a profusion of splash parties, dances, and teas, the situation becomes quite hectic. Our only solace is found in thoughts of vacation. Some of our students will have very interesting ones, by the way. MARGUERITE Walker is leaving soon after graduation to spend the summer in Europe, and Olga Melchione. another member of the chart er class, is going to California. Rita Eppig was a stunning-looking maid of honor when her brother was mar ried, on May 23, by his Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelein. Her outfit was ol a particularly glorious shade of aquarmarine blue. We saw Helen O'Gaka and Mary Brinn of the class of '32, at a per formance of The White Headed Boy, which was recently produced by the Loy ola Players. Gertrude Scanlan was another interested member of the audi ence, for her sister was a member of the cast. Week-end trips are the big thing in a collegian's life about this time. Sum mer houses are being opened, and schools are giving their final dances. Jean Fowler drove down to Champaign a week ago, to attend an all-college dance. Kathkyn Woleord and Marion Mor rison took a jaunt down to Notre Dame last Friday. Kathryn fulfilled a prom ise of long standing by finally visiting a girl frind at St. Mary's. Virginia Woods and Emer Phibbs visited the South Bend campus the week before. Mary Lyon, Margaret McKeon, and Mary Frances Lang, three of our sen iors, displayed new summer formals, at the Oak Park Charity ball, held recently at the Stevens Hotel. Jane Molloy and Helen Marie Dokhr were seen at the Blue Key dance given by the Loyola honorary fraternity at the Knickerbocker Hotel, on May 19. At the Revellers' dance given on the same night by another Loyola fraternity we noted Dorothy' Haxi.ey, Mary Irv ing. Marion Fitzgerald, Margaret Wenigman, and Lucille Barrett. The dance was held at the Mcdinah Athletic Club. After we left that particular dance we ran into another crowd of Mundelein students who had been attending the Psi Delta Sigma sorority's annual dance in the same building. Mary Jane Tully, Mary Ann Walsh, Helen Daly, Mar garet Bsoecker, Irremore Trant, Mary Honan, and Norine Golden were among the students who attended this affair. Mr. Schmeing, who teaches chemistry at Mundelein, was none other than Judge Fish in St. Gertrude's produc tion of Ladies of the jury. Mary Jane Blenner, Mary McCracken, and Mary Irving also had parts in the play. Florence McCormick, Frances Ho- ban, Lucy Crowley-, Clementina Pa loney. Virginia Meagher, and the two Collins sisters had a gay celebration at the Drake Hotel last week in honor of Suzanne Savage's birthday. Adeline Pfister tested out her new illys Knight last week end by driving up to Lake Geneva. Mary' Agnes Tynan read Eugene O'Ncil's new play, Days Without End, and Mary Rose Brown read The Show- Off at a recent meeting of the Joyce Kil mer League. Honore O'Bkikn and Ann Mc Cracken were the lucky winners of the home economics scholarship test given for freshmen several weeks ago. Tin-Can Armor Fails locker room and pool have lost their former disorderly charm, and have ac quired a staid tidiness that is appalling. The Water Pageant of 1934 is over interred vividly in the memories of spec tators and participants alike and the Ter rapins go on toward 1935 and a more spectacular performance than ever before.
