THE SKYSCRAPER March 22. 1933 Swimming Rivalry Grows WhileTeams Complete Practices BULLETIN Terrapin tryouts on Thursday, March 14, added five new juniors to the club's roster: Ger trude Brant, Veronica Kassis, Rita Hagel, Rosemary Walsh, and Estelle Wingler. A second tryout will be held within the week and will be the last opportunity for students to qualify for membership in the club this year. Whether it can be attributed to un usually strong class rivalry over the swimming cup, the medals being award ed by the Terrapins to the winners of the major events, or merely a carry-over of enthusiasm from the intra-mural basket ball tournament, this year's combination telegraphic and interclass swimming meet, scheduled for March 29, has al ready aroused considerable interest. Approximately 50 students have ex pressed their intention of coming out for class teams, and one-third of these have already completed the five half-hour practices required for entrance into the meet. The large freshman delegation, cap tained by Carol Sweeney, has been at tracted chiefly to the 20-yard races in the back crawl, breast-stroke, and front crawl, and hopes to carry off the 12 points entailed in a mass winning of first and second places in these events. Urge Upperclasses to Enter Danger of such a wholesome garner ing of points should induce all upper- class swimmers, unable to compete in the more vigorous events, to rally to their class teams and thus succeed in splitting up these points more evenly. Edith Coyne and Eileen Grimm are expected to represent tlie freshmen in fancy div ing. Faced with the task of defending their class championship, intensive practice has been begun by 16 sophomores headed by Helen Bulchunis, manager of the swimming meet and high point scorer among the freshmen in last year's meet. Competing in the field of fancy div ing are, Margaret Vendley, Helen Bul chunis, and Gertrude Rafferty. In addi tion Ruth Mary Gorman, back-crawl star, and Helen Bulchunis, who excel in both front crawl and breast stroke, hope to better their record which last year placed them in the national division of the telegraphic competition. Mary Tuohy Captains Juniors Mary Tuohy, new W.A.A. president, and captain of the junior team will be supported by Estelle Wingler, who an nexed eight points in last year's com petition, Justine Martin, who plans to en ter both swimming and diving events, Ella Jamieson, who will be a serious competitor in all the 20-yard races, and Loretta Brady, fancy diver. Then the seniors plan to put up one last battle to regain the swimming cup won from them last year. Mundelein's star fancy diver, free style swimmer, and senior captain, Jean O'Connor, and Irene Lavin, continue the precedent of being mainstays of the senior team. There is still time for any student able to execute five standard dives or swim breast stroke, back crawl, or front crawl, 20, 40, or 100 yards to begin practice for her team. Mundelein Athletes Are C.Y.O. Champions By Irene Lavin The championship games on March 2 brought another Catholic Youth Organ ization basketball tourney to a close. Ir. the girls' division the St. Ignatius team battled to victory over the strong Sa cred Heart team. Leona Murphy, captain of the cham pion sophomore team at Mundelein, alsc ed the new C. Y. O. champions to vie :ory. With three other Mundelein stu- lents, Rita Eiden, manager, and Loretta Brady and Lucille Small, Leona shares :he honor of being the first Mundelein athlete to play on a championship C. Y. O. team. It is coincidental and somehow fitting that in winning they should vanquish es sentially the same team as beat St. Agatha's, on which were four Mundelein girls, two years ago for the champion ship. Besides the permanent trophy and the championship trophy which may be permanently retained only if won three successive years, each player received an individual gold award as well as the medal for the sectional championship. On March 31, the Chicago champions will meet the New York champions in Chicago. The filial and best award will be a trip to the West this summer. St. Jerome's, also in the North section, counted Jane Flick among its stars. This team placed fourth in the division with St. Gertrudes' represented by Eileen Grimm and Marion Webber, of our all- star team, in fifth place. Mary McMahon, another all-star play er, is with St. Andrew's team which won its divisional championship and pro gressed to the second round of the championship play when Resurrection de feated it. A third all-star candidate, Mildred Parker, plays with the Our Lady of Lourdes team. Alice O'Brien helped Our Lady of Mercy score several victories. In the West division, Blessed Sacrament, with Marjorie Carroll and Justine Martin, placed fourth. Justine was also selected for the Mundelein all-star basketball team. Two Former Students Have Stories Published In the March issue of The Waif's Messenger, gayly clad in a new green cover bearing the C. Y. O. shamrock, appear two stories by former Munde lein students, both of which were writ ten as assignments in the short story class of last year. A Grip-ping Tale, by Evelyn Lincoln '34, narrates the mishap of a would-be bandit, and illustrates an interesting con trast between the influences of heridily and environment. The Rebellion of Margaret, by Virginia Rose Corcoran ex '36, is a freshly humorous story of youth and adventure. Receive W.A.A.'s At Terror' Party Dripping, slimy, macaroni snakes, spongy eyeballs, a knife scraping an arm while a curling iron sputters in a near by glass of water all take on terrible reality when one is blindfolded and his imagination runs riot. Ruth Mary Gorman, who planned the W.A.A. initiation held on March 20 with its realistic House of Horrors, did a thorough job in devising such terrifying experiences. Anguished cries of the athletes, how ever, evoked only shrieks of delight from the calloused W.A.A. members who looked on. Following the initiation, the new members were formally received in the green sun room adjoining the second floor social room by the new officers, Mary Tuohy, president, Myrtle Petersen, vice-president, Gertrude Rafferty, treas urer, and Mildred Parker secretary. Following the reception, the members, new and old, enjoyed tea and cake in the tearoom where Rita Casey presided as chairman of the refreshment committee. The new members are: Sue Adams, Mary McMahon, Frances Crowley, Hel en Mahoney, Lois Steffans, Justine Mar tin, Florence O'Callahan, Mary Margaret Smith, Gertrude Brant, Rita Eiden, and Eileen Grimm. Concert Is March 31 (Continued from page 1, col. 3) mastery of instrumentation and other points of technical presentation. The several numbers composing the first suite, Angelus and Fete Boheme, are delightfully contrasted, the former quiet and melodious, softly suggestive of the deep-toned chimes of prayer, and the latter quicker in tempo and gayly festive in mood. Scenes Alsaciennes consists of two descriptive selections, Sous Les Tilleuls and Dimanche Soir. Mary Jo Kennedy Wins Fame Abroad For Legion Essay Being awarded first place in the Chi cago Legion of Decency Essay contest was just the beginning of Mary Jo Ken nedy's fame, which has recently taken on international im portance. The New World, in which Miss Ken nedy's essay was published, forwarded to the College last week a clipping from Mary Jo Kennedy t le Munster Ex press of Waterford, Ireland, issue of March 1, in which the essay is quoted almost entirely. The Reverend Owen Francis Dudley, author of The Masterful Monk, Pageant of Life, and a number of other Catholic novels, lectured on the Clean Film Cam paign at the city hall, County Waterford, Munster, on Feb. 25. The clipping deals with his lecture, at the close of which Mr. Edward Walsh announced that among the journals which he had noted gave space to the clean film campaign was the New World of Chi cago. Coincidentally enough, the issue to which he referred directly was the one containing Miss Kennedy's essay which he read to the assembly. The clipping was forwarded from Ireland to the New World, and from there, the editor forwarded it to the Col lege. Scientists Check Powder, Lipstick Eyebrow Pencils Since cosmetics have become such an important factor in vitalizing the fea tures of the modern college girl, mem bers of the home economics department at Mundelein are carrying out a project, in affiliation with other members of the Home Economics club of the state, to prevent the manufacture and sale of harmful cosmetics through false adver tising and misrepresentation of products. The students will develop this project by a study of the kind and amount of cosmetics, and by a questionnaire survey to determine the influence on the pur chaser of the advertising, brand name, perfume, price and quantity for price, appearance of the package, salesman's or friend's recommendation, and desire to try a new product. This project is a forward step, an out growth of the bill now before Congress for the revision of the Food and Drugs Act, which at the present does not in clude provisions for protective cosmetic measures. The students are writing to Senator R. S. Copeland, Washington, D. C, and also to the United States Food and Drugs Administration for further information concerning the pending bill. Scholarship Examinations Will Be Given on April 6 Scholarship examinations for girl graduates of high schools, public and private, of Chicago and vicinity will be held at the College on Saturday morn ing, April 6, at 9 o'clock. In accordance with the present trend in educational methods, the examination will take the form of an intelligence test. The names of the winners will be announced to principals of the various schools entering students for the exam inations before the first of June. In addition to the examinations for scholarships in liberal arts, special exam inations for scholarships in art, drama, and music will likewise be given. Dates for the drama contest are listed on page 3. Dates for the others will be an nounced later. Urges Economics For All Students ' Every College student should study economics, even if he does not take a de gree in commerce, declared the Rev erend Eneas B. Goodwin, J.D., professor of political science, in a lecture on the Place of Economics in the Catholic College, given before the commerce stu dents on March 20. Father Goodwin defended his state ment by pointing out that the first prob lems a student meets upon graduatioi are those of an economic nature. Explaining the meaning of value Father Goodwin went on to say that the value of a man should not be estimated from the selling price of his product, be cause man is more than a mere machine. Father concluded his lecture by insist ing that if economic good faith were a part of the people's lives, a stabilization of prices and a reorganizaiton of our economic structure on a firm foundation might ultimately be obtained. This lecture is the fourth of a series which Father Goodwin is giving at the College. Lectures listed on his sched ule for the next two months are Gov ernment and Investments and the Dis tribution of Wealth. French Classes Write All-French Newspaper Interesting and cosmopolitan in its content and make-up, L'Oriflamme, dim inutive news sheet written entirely in French, was introduced in the French classes, the work of a group of students, last month. In a world all their own, and a lang uage more or less their own, the classes review the news of the day, including the collegiate debates, musicales, pamph let drives, and even the current literature in the hands of the average student about the College. The first issue, produced under the editorship of Agnes Griffin, was a com memoration of Washington's birthday. The second issue, dedicated to St. Pat rick (this proves the cosmopolitanism of the French classes) was edited by Rita O'Donohue and Helen Mahoney, with Rosemary Walsh acting as art editor. Monsignor Guilday Suggests Project (Continued from page 1, col. 5) neglected. Having seen the splendid work of women like Agnes Repplier in the line of history, I am surprised that more women do not take up the work, even from a standpoint of literary ap preciation. Obviously, this was a topic of especial interest to Dr. Guilday. I am amazed, he continued, that some girl has not written a Church his tory manual for girls. Rather, there is no place for me to go, except to the Catholic Encyclopedia, when I want to find what women in the Church have done. Dr. Guilday's keen alertness and in terest is not confined to things historical. He has read the Skyscraper since its in ception, and regularly places it in his li brary for use by the students; he is es pecially interested in Quest, and con trasts its format with the frequent shoddy make-up of pieces of Catholic literature. He believes that women should teach women history, and thor oughly approves of the Chicago univers ity plan for graduate students, but not for undergraduates. Had this thorough historian and genial Speaker a message for Mundelein stu dents? Just this: was Dr. Guilday's thoughtful answer, plead with them to learn the history of the Church in their own country. SKYSCRAPINGS Open Card Party Campaign (Continued from page 1, col. 2) In addition to the raffle and door prizes, an attractive style show, in charge of Marguerite Collins, is being planned. Models will be selected from the upperclassmeri' by a professional styl ist. This is the season when we gaily toss galoshes into closets, wistfully eye new spring hats, and drowse through lan guid classes while spring does an elfin dance in our home-work haunted minds. But in spite of seas of term papers and book reports that malignantly de mand attention every now and then, and Lenten denials of movies and candy, Mundelein's socialites seem to have enjoyed a merry round of pre-Lenten parties and dances. For instance, they say that at the Pi Alpha formal dinner dance, held at the Knickerbocker the other night, there was scarcely a table without some Mundelein girl. A few of those glimpsed amidst the lights and music were Charlotte Wil cox, Catherine Heerey. Catherine Ann- Dougherty, Dorothy Douzois, Ann Ellen Smith, Kathryn Ann- Walsh, and Virginia Sweeney. And some of the familiar alumnae also pres ent were Lenore Manning, Anna Mary Mann, and Katherine Bren nan. Margaret Cleary, the Laetare player who likes Shelley and debates so enthu siastically on the more prosaic subjects of economics and politics, gave a drama tized book review of Tarkington's Little Orvie at a recent meeting of the Joyce Kilmer league. Miss Cleary will re peat her program for the student assem bly of St. Scholastica's high school, of which she is an alumna, some time next month. Among the hockey enthusiasts at the C.Y.O. game at the Stadium last Sunday were Ruth Tangney, Virginia Woods, Mary Margaret Morrissey, Gertrude Rafferty, Frances McCambridge, and Julia Mary Hanna. It would seem that many lmmaculata alumnae are basketball fans, for we no ticed they composed a good part of the team which played the lmmaculata All- Star Senior team on March 11. Those who played for the alumnae were Sue Adams, Frances Crowley, Mary Mc Mahon, Rita Eiden, and Josephine Carton. Mundelein girls attending St. Gert rude's pre-Lenten party held in the Crys tal ballroom of Edgewater Beach Hotel were Maryhelen Flanagan, Shirley Brice, Betty Neil, Mary Jane Blen ner, and Jean McKeever. Attending lectures and plays is just one of Catherine IIeerey's favorite pastimes. This versatile freshman prom enaded across the Siena high school stage last Tuesday in the guise of an Indian maid, at the request of the Reverend Charles Saldannah, S.J., who lectured on Mysterious India, before the West Side lecture group. Sue Adams, Marion Murphy-, Shir ley Brice, Norinne Golden, Marion- Mulligan, and Mary Jane Griffin were among the Mundelein students who attended a St. Patrick's eve party at the Midland. The inspirational lecture given by Monsignor Guilday at the College on Monday afternoon prompted a number of students to attend the Monsignor's lecture at St. Gertrude's Study club that evening. Among those present, were Sallie Agnes Smith, and Lorraine Horn. Margaret Grace, Virginia Woods, Bernice Walters, Mary Ann Kirsch ten, Mary Geiger, Jean McKeever, Maryhelen Flanagan, Marion Holy, Mary Margaret Morrissey, Rita Brennan, Jane Malkemus, Mary Catherine Rose, Anna Marie Mas terson, and Helen Coleman are only a few of the Mundelein students who enjoyed The First Legion, starring Bert Lytell, which is playing at the Harris now.
