Page 4 Hawaiian Background Lends Glamour To Water Carnival Amid softly strumming guitars and palm trees swaying faintly beneath a full yellow moon, the members of the Terra pin club, garbed in typical Hawaiian cos tumes, delighted their appreciative audi ences on May 17 and 18. Aloha, the fifth annual water pageant at Mundelein, had for its theme the fare well ritual to Hawaii's beloved queen, Liliukalani (Gertrude Brant), about to be sacrificed to appease the goddess Pele. The elaborate carnival consisted of vari ations in fancy diving, a myriad of glid ing native formations, and numerous races and dances. Jean O'Connor, president of the Ter rapins, Irene Lavin, vice-president, Mar ion Sifferman, and Marguerite Collins were the senior participants bidding farewell to the club in this production. Other students who took part in the water spectacle included Mae Sexton, Margaret Vendley, Gertrude Rafferty, Mary Tuohy, Ruth Mary Gorman, Lu cille Small, Rita Eiden, Frances Crow ley, Josephine Carton, Catherine Ann Dougherty, Helen Bulchunis, Eileen Grimm, Rita Hagel, Carol Sweeney, Catherine Lindley, Rosemary Walsh, Loretta Brady, Justine Martin, Edith Coyne, Veronica Kassis, Estelle Wing ler, and Roberta Christie. Miss Lavin was general chairman of the carnival; Miss Rafferty was her as sistant ; Miss Collins and Miss O'Connor were in charge of tickets and programs; Miss Christie and Miss Vendley were on the publicity committee; Miss Rafferty on the properties committee; Miss Gor man and Miss Sexton on the costume committee; and Miss Tuohy on the mu sic committee. During the program, Rebecca and Joan Argyropulos played guitars, and Cather ine Ann Dougherty, Ruth Gorman, Mae Sexton, Marion Sifferman, and Mary Touhy sang, Irene Lavin impersonated the goddess Pele. In keeping with a tradition of the Ter rapin club established at their first car nival in 1931, the swimmers concluded their program with a formation of swim mers treading water up the length of the pool, bearing lighted candles in the form of a letter T. Slippery Ladder Impedes Racketeers CLASS STANDING Seniors 1 Juniors 0 Sophomores 3 Freshman 1 THE SKYSCRAPER Mexican Senora Charms Audience At Club Program May 22, 1935 Sculptor Explains Ideal of New Art Rally To Challenge Of Baseball Tourney With commencement near at hand the physical educaition department -has launched its last intra-mural contest, the baseball tournament. Among those who have answered the rallying call to bats and balls, mitts and gloves for the final event of the year are the following: Dorothy Rutstrom, Mary McMahon, Mary Touhy, Ruth Mary- Gorman, Mil dred Parker, Josephine Carton, Sue Adams, Lois Steffans, Helen Mahoney, Mary Ann Kirschten, Florence O'Cal lahan, Margaret Zangara, Rita Eiden, and Lucile SmalL Charlotte Heun, Eileen Shanley, Ro- sella Parks, Marion Weber, Gertrude Brant, Lucille Barrett, Bernice Walters, Irene Lavin, Ruth Janiszewski, Mary Ellen Lodge, Concetta Alonzi, Mary Frances Sullivan, Rita Hagel, Dorothy Sigman, Virginia Meagher, Roberta Christie, Marion Sifferman, Edith Dorn, and Eulalia Pacel. Inclement weather has kept the ladder slippery, so that few advances have been made in the tennis tournament. Hence the scene of the duels between the vvielders- of-the-racket has been the gymnasium, rather than the Loyola tennis courts, as originally planned. So far only three girls have been called upon to defend their respective rungs. In the first encounter, Roberta Christie vs. Lois Steffens, Miss Christie scored a victory, and made a point for her class. Score 6-3. Dorothy Rutstrom advanced to rung 11 by defeating Edith Dorn. Score 6-0. The seniors obtained a class point. The freshmen (not to be outdone) gained a class point when Mary Mc Mahon, challenging Dorothy Schultz, stepped up to rung 6. Score 6-1. Mildred Parker, on the fifth rung, chal lenged Charlotte Heun who occupies the fourth. Charlotte triumphed to maintain her position. Rita Hagel defeated Genevieve Del Beccaro and advanced to the fifteenth rung. The entrants occupy the rungs in the following order. Bernadette Kelly, Fran ces Crowley, Rose Marie Barrett, Char lotte Heun, Mildred Parker, Mary Mc Mahon, Alice Young, Frances Woods, Dorothy Schultz, Mary Houlihan, Dor othy Rutstrom, Ruth Mary Gorman. Roberta Christie, Edith Dorn, Gene vieve Del Beccacro, Lois Steffens, Rita Hagel, Sue Adams, Maryhelen Flanagan, Lucille Barrett, Gertrude Brant, Mary- Jane Nielson, Bernice Walters, Mary Belle Milliman, Mary Tuohy. Margaret Webb, Catherine Ann Dougherty, Felicia Pontecarvo, Dorothy Sigman, Eileen Grimm, Adele Kash, Rita Devaney, Mercedes McCambridge, and Dorothy Mayer. Students See Movie Of French Classic Ten members of the advanced fresh man French class attended the presenta tion of the French movie, Pechetir d'ls- lande, at International House on May 14. Based on the French classic by Pierre Loti, the picture, although filmed in French, included English titles. Mundelein representatives were: Magel Brown, Rita Eiden, Mary Jane Grif fin, Julia Mary Hanna, Dorothy Kull- tnan, Maxine Lindsay, Anna Marie Mas terson, Catherine Ott, Kathryn Pitman, Carol Sweeney, Catherine Ann Dougher ty, and Eileen McAuley. House Comes Down On Freshman Crew Curtain House lights going up Crew on I and there rushes on the stage that unseen force without which no dra matic production could be successful, the crew. For the Mosaics of 1935, this group was composed of freshman mem bers of the drama department: Concetta Alonzi, Helen Coleman, Maryhelen Flan agan, Betty Haffner, Rosemary Lux Dorothy Nee, and Mary Russell. No group works harder than the crew, but there are always compensations, spir itually in the knowledge of work well done, and materially in sandwiches, cake, and ginger ale after the performance. Too, there are humorous incidents, an irrepressible giggle rising whenever the lights' crew calls House coming down, which, instead of heralding a monumental catastrophe, only means that the lights in the auditorium are being turned off. There is a moment of panic when the stage manager realizes that the music is dying down and the flats aren't in place But somehow everything gets ar ranged, and the show goes on Bringing to her audience a breath of the enchantment and old-world beauty of Mexico, Senora Augusta Hawley. garbed in a sequined native dress, the lovely china poblana costume of romantic his tory, addressed Las Teresianas in the Little Theater on May 9. Singing lilting Spanish songs to an accompaniment by Mildred Sperry, and dancing in her individualistic manner, the genial lecturer proved that she had caught much of the indefinable charm of her own country. Mexico is a land where mystery, leg end, and romance abound, said Senora Hawley in her introduction to the fas cinating history of the country from the time of the nomadic Aztecs, through the stirring conquest, up to the present day. By the magic of a word she began her tour through Mexico City, taking her guests to the beautiful Alameda Park, once the scene of the burning of the vic tims of the Inquisition, and to San born's, meeting place of American tour ists, a palace in the history of which figure a beautiful miracle and an in sidious crime. From Sanborn's the party betook itself to the Floating Gardens, a suburb of Mexico City built by the Aztecs of sep arate bundles of twigs covered with earth. As the Mexicans are always ready to eat, it was only fitting that Senora Haw ley should next take her guests to Las Cazuelas, a typical old Mexican eating- place. An odd treat was offered the Ameri can visitors in that they had to proceed through the kitchen to reach the dining room, and as every Mexican cook is an artist in his field the experience was not unpleasant. Then with a song and a dance she left us, a bit of color having been added to our dark picture of the conditions in our unfortunate sister country, Mexico. Dramatists, Writers, Score Honors in Plays The Gothic age was the most perfect one in art, because the art impulse sprang from the people, declared Alphonsc Ianelli, modern sculptor, in a lecture sponsored by the Art club on May 14, The people in that period had an un conscious aesthetic sense which we must recapture consciously. Renaissance art, therefore, according to Mr. Ianelli, was decadent. But the modern artist, he declared, is retrieving the principles of the Gothic artist, in that he is now designing things for the use of the people, such things as automobiles, dishes, dresses. The new artist is cognizant of the limitations of his materials, and, whether in metal or in marble, he endeavors to create an art work which is consistent in form and matter. Mr. Ianelli explained what the modern artist endeavors to do when he eliminates all but the barest essentials he attempts to create an impression which only the particular material he is working with can give. Bemoaning the fact that so many buildings are too heavily adorned, Mr. Ianelli said that the simplicity of the architecture of Mundelein College is a beautiful example of what can be done by the modern architect. The well-known scculptor, who has studied extensively in Europe and Amer ica, did the life-size statue of Our Lady which stands above the main doorway of the lmmaculata high school. The art club members initiated the pledges at an elaborate stand party on May 3, given under the direction of Ann Lally, president. SKYSCRAPINGS Mundelein Organist Qives TsAiami Concerts (Continued from page 3, col. 2) students in residence at Mundelein. An institution which can do so much to bring out and develop creative abil ity, is surely educating students in the true sense of the word. The numbers on the program on Friday night made it clear that educational influences worthy of preservation are still at work in this country. June Sells, Mundelein organ student who spent the winter in Florida and who has just returned and resumed her studies at the College, gave a series of four recitals at Fort Lauderdale during the winter and presented recitals every Wednesday evening in one of Miami's largest churches. Among the numbers played at the last Fort Lauderdale recital were Preludio from Third Sonata in C minor, by Ar thur Guilmant; Sperance, by Pietro A. Yon, organist at the Vatican; Toccato by Dubois, which Miss Sells played by request; Minuet from Gothique Suite by Boelman; Andante Cantabile from Quartet in D major by Tschaikowsky; and Offertory Largo from Xerxes by Handel. S.A.C. And Freshmen Presidents Qive Comments On College Life Observe Anniversary Of Papal Encyclicals (Continued from page 1, col. 4) The last two papers compared the En cyclical of Pius XI, Quadragesimo Anno, with practical local reforms. Miss McKeever showed how the Bishop's plan of social reconstruction was the applica tion of the principles of the encyclical, and Miss Mulvihill demonstrated the compatability in certain points of the NRA and the Quadragesimo Anno How serious the problem of solving our locker combination and experiencing the sensation of hearing our own voice call out the desired floor in a strange ele vator seemed the first day of college remarked Ann Ellen Smith to Mary Ann Walsh as they met to reveal their per sonal viewpoints on college life at my request. Many such incidents as that filled my freshman year, too, Mary Ann replied, and didn't a good sense of humor come in handy during those trying days ? But that's all a part of growing up at Mun delein and the spirit of the girls seems to grow with the College. It's the general cooperation of the Faculty and students that influences the freshmen mostly. agreed Ann Ellen. Freshmen may be naturally enthusiastic, but the friendliness of the upper class men is the means of bringing it for ward. The girls have responded whole heartedly to S.A.C. activities this year, said Mary Ann, graciously returning the compliment, and since we were all freshmen once ourselves we realize how necessary it is for you to feel at home here to be happy. To be considered college graduates we must pass the test in the study of character and human nature as well as our scholastic examinations, I believe, and friendiness and kindliness are the answers to most queries on that subject. Advice to the freshmen? Miss Walsh repeated in reply to my request. Only this, affiliate yourselves as soon as possible with extra-curricular activi ties. You deprive yourselves of many worthwhile advantages if you delay; par ticularly do you miss the broad outlook gained by keeping in touch with the various activities. This, together with the acquisition of a friendly interest in your successors, will give you a mighty happy college career. In other words, summarized Miss Smith, it is not so much the inner knowledge received from books, but the application of it that we give out to others that counts, isn't that right, Mary Ann ? And before you close this inter view, she continued, may 1 take this opportunity to thank the Faculty and stu dents for carrying out toward the fresh men the theory of personal interest and kindness which we have been discussing this afternoon. In spite of weather that persistently remains cold, many Mundelein girls are attending spring and summer formals. The Loyola Spring formal included the following in its list of guests: Mary Frances Sullivan, Wihna Roberts, Mar ion Mulligan, Germaine Mulholland, Ann Ellen Smith, Edith Coyne. Mary Dillon, Virginia Woods, Mary Margaret Mor- risey, Marian Green, Catherine Heerey, Collette Corbett, Genevieve Collins, Betty Haffner, Agnes Gill, Mary Rose Brown, Marion Murphy, Mary Joyce Vail, Rita Devaney, Dorothy Kullman, and Jane Malloy. Mercedes McCambridge peeked in for a few minutes after her part in the Mosaics. I wonder how many of us would like to have been in the place of Nancy Butler. Rosemary La I-onde, Mary Jane Griffin, or Veronica Kassis ? Thej' spent the weekend at South Bend, and inci dentally dropped in at the Notre Dame Ball and tea dance. Several girls gave after-lhe-theatre parties last week-end. Kathryn Walsh entertained Anna Mary Mann, Helen O'Gara, and Virginia Sweeney. Maurita Kelly invited the Pryor twins, Rose Marie Barrett, and Nona May Linton for a week-end house party which we would call an extended after- the-theatre party. The alumnae spirit seems to be bobbing up in full bloom at this time of the year. Maryhelen Flanagan is taking part in her Mallinkrood alumnae play, Time and Tide. All the Loretto Woodlawn girls are going to Once In a Palace, which is being presented at that school by the seniors. Virginia Green's sister is appearing in it. Those who will see it are Virginia Green, Patricia Heron, Jean McAuley, and Marguerite McManus. I Rose Marie Barrett, Frances Keating, Maurita Kelly, Caroline Holland, Pa tricia Ryan, Mary McManus, Dorthea Nee, and Mary McNulty gave Madeline Wells a gardenia after the Mosaics. Blame them, they insisted on getting it into print. Personally, I should think it would embarrass them (check: I have been corrected, it was all of a corsage of gardenias. Think of the chain letters they could have sent out with the dimes ) I couldn't decide whether to add the following announcements in with the parties or the alumnae, so I put it here, having no reason at all for doing so, Rita O'Donahuc, Rita Smith, and Lois McTigue went to St. Mary's alumnae dance. Catherine O'Connor, Mary Gunning, and Marion Fogerty cooled off at the Revax Splash party Saturday afternoon. They were surprised to find Lucille Small and Rita Eiden acting as life guards. This next should have been with the plays, but don't you rather like my idea of mixing dances, splash parties, and plays together? It's so seldom done in real life that your scribe finds it refresh ing. Carol Sweeney, Maxine Lindsay, Marj- Breeti, Cecilia Wasisco, Betty Kelso, and Betty McCormick enjoyed Big Hearted Herbert. And now Surprise Our next news item really connects with the last. Cath erine Ann Dougherty saw Mary of Scot land, and Eileen Jean Groth and Abbey players. Which will you have? The Marywood card party had many Mundelein delegates, including Julia Hagerty, Betty Kelso, Maxine Lindsay, Jean Parks, Mary Brecn, Louise Coyle, Catherine Heerey (she won a gardenia plant; the resident students probably plucked blossoms from that for Made line's corsage), Dorothy Kullman, Edith Coyne, and Harriet Bartlett. Melba Weber and Dorothy Schultz spent the week end at Lake Geneva. I refuse to envy them they probably froze to death. Ruth Tangney, Maxine Lindsay, Mabel Ann Nevius, Virginia Woods, Mary Frances Sullivan, Mary Margaret Mor rissey, and Catherine Heerey flew the Mundelein colors at the Loyola Blue Key Dance, May 18.
