Glee Club, Music Majors Present Spring Concert Sing Flandorf Composition Dedicated to College For First Time Presenting four senior music majors as soloists, the College Glee club gave its annual spring concert on April 26, wilh Professor Waller Flandorf, concert or ganist and choral master, directing. With the gaiety and brightness of springtime reflected in their pastel-tinted Sunday evening gowns, the singers were in spirit with their songs, and spread the contagion of lilting Gaelic melodies, plaintive negro spirituals, and haunting waltzes. Eleonore Solewska, violinist, Mildred Sperry, pianist, both members of the Col lege Orchestra, Frances Mikkelson, so prano, and Jessie Belle Kramer, pianist, were the senior soloists. Miss Solewska played the Praeludium and Allegro of Gaetano Pugnani-Kreis- ler, and Verdi's Caro Nome was Miss Mikkelson's selection. The Concerto by MacDowell, who is one of America's greatest composers, was played by Miss Kramer. She was assisted at the second piano by Miss Sperry, who played the orchestral part. Miss Sperry's solo was the Polish Fan tasy of Paderewski. The orchestra parts at the second piano were played by Kath ryn Wolford. The Glee club numbers were in a lighter vein, including Fly, Singing Bird, Fly, by Elgar, Ma Lindy Lou, by Strick land, Strauss' beautiful Blue Danube, Purcell's Passing By, and On the Lagoon by Brahms. The program was concluded by the Glee club, who sang the eight-part ar rangement of tlie 150th psalm, composed by Mr. Flandorf, who dedicated it to Mundelein College. Urge Students Not Over 21 To Join the 'Not Over 50V By Julia Mary Hanna It is five minutes to nine. Miss Lucky College Girl, driving her own car or perhaps the family's, turns the bend in front of the library on two wheels, parks at an angle far from Kenmore avenue's curb, and dashes to the corner. There the authoritative hand of Officer Walter Raleigh Moore stops bankers in Buicks, Lake Forest matrons in chauffered cars, and Buddy in a flivver bound for Lake View, while She daintily flies into Mun delein's well-known west-door cyclone. Miss Lucky College Girl must be on time for her education. On the way to school she noticed bill boards which said something about a Not Over 50 club. A new night club, thought she. She has heard big statistics about how many people were killed last year, but she's never been in an accident. After all, her first name IS Lucky In her less flippant moods, she may consider such facts as these. That red danger signal she saw in front of the library has been replaced six times since the library opened two years ago. The safety island (which perhaps should never have been there) has not been re placed since a bus demolished it last summer. Kenmore is a four-lane street, and with correct parking on both sides, it can still be a safe thoroughfare, but Officer Moore will not always be there, and Mundelein College will not always be her destination. Miss Lucky College Girl likes good times. It may be that she has just handed in two term papers and given a disserta tion before the Philosophy circle, but the reaction to such mental activity is almost inevitably relaxation and merri ment. She may seek respite in Little Audrey stories, or in an improvised quar tette. We trust, however, that she will not be altogether reckless, especially if she is riding in her own or another's car. A crowded roadster of singing collegians can strike a pedestrian, or a truck, or almost anything, and bring death or dis aster to many people. Miss Lucky College Girl is lucky in another way she has been educated above the average. She has learned the value of human life and health her own and other people's and she has learned that, although she, as a driver or a pedestrian, may be right, another driver or pedestrian may be decidedly wrong. She doesn't claim to lie a mechanic or a statistician, but she knows a little bit of what makes the wheels go round and she takes care of her car. She is quite smart. She doesn't wait for something to happen, and then do something about it. She sees that noth ing happens. Student Activities Council Ends Year with Successful Party, Election of Officers Jean McKeever Elected Council Head for Coming Year Jean McKeever, junior class president, will head the Student Activities Council for 1936-37, as a result of her unani mous election to that office at the assem bly called last Tuesday for Council nominations.

Mu Nu Sigma Holds Banquet on April 16 By Jane Spalding As a climax to its first year of acti vity, Mu Nu Sigma, Mundelein Philoso phy circle, held a banquet at the Black stone Hotel, on April 16. In one of the hotel's private dining rooms there were numerous small tables, lovely with gold-shaded candles and long- stemmed roses, grouped cozily about the beautifully decorated speakers' table. The 50 guests chatted informally, while a lovely background was provided by Re gina Niew:enski, freshman harpist, who played throughout the serving. Honor Members Attend Among the guests were many of the club's honorary members, including the Reverend John F.

In opening the formal program, Jane Spalding, president of Mu Nu Sigma, welcomed the guests and presented the toast-mistress, Margaret Werlein, who introduced toasts by Rita Casey, Ruth Quirk, and John McKian and John Mc- Geary of Loyola. Have Toast Program Miss Spalding then outlined the purpose and growth of the club and proposed a tribute to the Mod erator of Mu Nu Sigma, and to all the members of the Loyola philosophy de partment.

Elward, who received (Continued on page 4, col. 2) Father Feeney Will Lecture Here Today The Reverend T. B. Feeney, brother of the Jesuit poet, will lec ture on Paul Claudel in the audi torium at 11 o'clock this morning. Function at Palmer House j On Thursday, April 23, Draws Record Crowd Tlie crowds which thronged the Exhibition Hall of the Palmer House on April 23 participated in the greatest card party success ever undertaken by a Mundelein Student Activities Council. A conservative estimate places the number of pa trons who attended at well over 2500. Members of the Council, wearing spring ensembles and corsages of gar denias, directed activities during the eve ning, with the assistance of Mr. James A. Russell and Mr. Francis D. Hanna, father of Julia Mary Hanna, sophomore. Have Fashion Revue At 9 o'clock the fashion revue began, as student mannequins modeled furs from McElroy's, gowns from the Curry shop, and shoes from O'Connor and Goldberg's. As a finale, the bridal party displayed the latest in style for a spring wedding, to the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march played by the College Orchestra. Carrying white roses, Eleanor Hopkins modeled the bridal gown of simple white satin ornamented at the sleeves and back with satin-covered buttons. Her tulle veil, with a short blush veil over the face, was caught into a cap of seed pearls, and ended with a split train which was carried by two little page boys dressed in velvet. Wear Sweet Peas Caroline Holland, the first attendant, wore a dress of lavender mousseline de soie over satin and carried talisman roses. Helen Lynch, the second attendant, wore a similar gown of peach and carried yel low roses. Both bridesmaids wore coro nets of sweet peas in their hair. Juniors and seniors who modeled are: Margaret Cleary, Yvonne Crowley, Rita Devaney, Kathleen Feely, Mary Hymes, Veronica Kassis, Katherine Kearns, Honore O'Brien, Wilma Roberts, Mae Sexton, Sheila Sullivan, Mary Joyce Vail, Betty Veirhorst, Bernice Walters, Lillian Wasiclewski, Kathryn Wolford, Mar jorie Carroll, Rita Casey, Violet Hans, (Continued on page 4, col. 2) Faculty Member Publishes Article In Classics Bulletin The classical bulletin for May car ries as its lead article a discussion on Evil in Classical and in Christian Thought, by Sister Mary Donald, B.V.M., head of the classics department. Dealing with the subject of parallels in pagan and Christian thought, the ar ticle is concerned with showing that the answers of some eminent thinkers, pagan and Christian, to two questions of vital import (evil and suffering) embody their own observation and experience of life, mingled with the traditional religious belief or divine revelation to which they were heirs. At present Sister Mary Donald is en gaged in editing a group of dissertations written at the University of Illinois un der the direction of Dr. W. A. Oldfather, on the manuscript traditions of St Jer ome's Lives of the Hermit Saints. The dissertations are the work of Sister Mary Donald and four other students who have1 since received their doctorates from the university.
