His success led to appearances throughout the continent. Gimpel came to the United States in 1937 where concert, radio, and mo vies immediately claimed (him. He has been soloist under such conductors 'as Bruno Walter, John Barbarolli, Eric Coates, and Otto Klemperer, and has appeared in many New York recitals. The New York Times says of him, His interpretations were never lack ing in taste and were most careful in matters of detail. Individual pas sages were invariably expressive, fine ly shaded and tonally beautiful. Senior Wins Golden.

(Story on Page 1.) udcrapinad The joyous pink of Laetare Sunday has resolved into the somber purple of Lent, but there is a story about this purple, for out of the tragedy of Pas- siontide will come the triumph of Eas ter. Living the liturgy was the aim of Mary Schweitzer, Anne Marie Schaeffer, and Joan Kwiatkowski who attended a retreat at Childerly near Wheaton. The retreatants participated in the Mass much the same way as the early Christ ians did, by taking part in an offertory procession and reciting the responses. Campus interviewers have been at work among us. Donna Mer wick conducted her own Roper poll to discover history's great est man. Abraham Lincoln was the choice of Joan Blakeslee, Patricia Ty rell, Nancy Kelly, and Jean ODonnell and is leading the race. Contemporary leaders with strong support are Gen eral MacArthur and Ralph Bunche, the preferences of Betty Yeakumo and Josephine Roman. Dante is gaining in popularity because of Mary Alma Sullivan, while one lone vote is award ed John Milton by Carol Keefer. Marion Whelan wanted to know what people put off. Mary Therese O'Con- nell says that reading books and do ing housework are always tomorrow's jobs. Nancie Fiske revealed that she puts off doing everything, while Yo- landa Volini modified that statement, postponing everything that is work except breathing. Tomorrow's the key word in Car ol Edwards' and Joan Simon's phil osophy of dieting, while Nancy Gib bons puts off deciding what she puts off. If anyone ever took a survey to find out the favorite movie hero of Mun delein girls, Cyrano De Bergerac, the gentle Frenchman with the large nose, would probably be the overwhelming choice. Betty Garrity, Joan Garrow, Mary Kay Hannan, Sheila Walsh, Mary O'Connor, and Peggy Barrett enjoyed the movie at the Selwyn. The French club sent many of its members to see the movie March 11. Among those who attended were Lucille Boldt, Angela de Florio, Joan Jiganti, Mary Ann Wenzel, Winifred Wellman, Frances Mc Inerney, Madeline D'Hooge, Angela Anzalone, and Theresa Schillaci. In the Febrdary issue of the Chem ical Bulletin Betty Byrne, Carol Cal abrese, Patricia Carr, Louise Pierotti and Joan Schrieber were pictured at the Christmas party held by the Amer ican Chemical society at the Furniture Mart. The girls are student affili ates of the society. Discuss Europe, Far East at IRC Meet Dorothy Spratt, president, and Mary Rita McDermott, secretary, of thp In ternational Relations club, attended the Mid-west IRC convention at Marquette university, Feb. 23-4.

Mary Mahoney received a pleasant surprise after her concert, presented in the college auditorium Feb. 25. The Piano club gave her an album of rec ords as a memento of her performance. For those who can get tickets, South Pacific is still the favorite musical comedy. Nancy Brown and Barbara Shaughnessy look dreamily for Bali Hai after seeing the play. Traveling holds an attraction for Mundelein students. Lola Hill traveled to Detroit last week-end. Sandra Ver- tenten, Lois Lierman, Rosemary Bos- camp, and Sue Anderson went to Milwaukee to see the Loyola-Marquette basketball game. Sheila Woods will be Florida bound. Engagements are always news, espe cially when they come around St Val entine's Day. Marion Dwyer is en gaged to John Gleason of Loyola, and sociology major Pepper Perkins re ceived her diamond from Thomas Ryan, a graduate of Loyola. Noreen Ryan has an unusual hobby. She collects pictures of the Notre Dame football squads complete with the players' autographs. Her collec tion includes pictures of the football teams of the past five years. Sophomore Patricia Spangle has been elected queen of Delta Lambda Zi fraternity, and will compete for the title of queen of the Interfraternity ball at Illinois Institute of Technology, March 17. Drama students have a return en gagement to perform before members of the Ave Maria Guild for the Blind, on Sunday, April 8. Senior Chemistry majors Joan Schrieber, Betty Byrne, Louise Pierotti, and Eleanor Shableski successfully passed the Civil Service examinations, an achievement that renders them eli gible for three thousand dollar a year government positions. Did you notice the five Hawaiian butterfly orchids at the shrine of the Infant Jesus of Prague during the trying days of Senior Comprehensive*? Have a Happy and Blessed Easter.
