Emilie Barron Represents College at International Meeting Being the sole delegate from the only women's college represented is the highest feather in her hat at present for Emilie Barron, who represented Mun delein at the Eighth Annual Conference of the Catholic Association for Interna tional Peace, held at the Catholic Uni versity in Washington, D. C, on April 2-3. Miss Barron, who is president of the College International Relations club, is a former resident of the Capital city, where she received her elementary and high school education. She was partic ularly enthusiastic about the conference, and graciously described the high lights of her trip. We left here Easter Sunday, she be gan. At the opening session, Monday morning, I attended an interesting com mittee meeting on Russia, presided over by Father McGowan. The Catholic at titude toward Russia and ways to treat communism were discussed. Oh, yes, she recalled, I had the privilege of meet ing Father Walsh, the noted authority on Russia. Of course, the important social affair was the formal dinner in the evening at the Mayflower Hotel, which was attended by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. It was really impressive, what with all the diplomatic corps present with their gold braid and official uniforms Of especial interest, in Miss Barron's opinion, were the prominent speakers at the conference, members of the clergy, representatives of religious orders, and Catholic laity from all over the country.

CLASSES UNITE SUCCESS TO ASSURE OF S.A.C. PARTY - Miss Sonderegger Wins Chicago U. Fellotvship The University of Chicago recently awarded a Fellowship to Miss Emilie Sonderegger, A.M., instructor in French. Miss Sonderegger, who has been study ing for her doctorate at the University of Chicago, speaks German and Italian as fluently as she does English and her own charming French. But, Miss Sonderegger replied, smil ing shyly as we questioned her, while I am so happy to receive this honor, and while I shall accept it, there is nothing that can take me from Mundelein. Before coming to America, Miss Son deregger had left her native Switzerland to study in France, Italy, and Germany, and at the University of London. Re ceiving her Ph. B. from Loyola in 1932 and her A. M. from Northwestern in 1933, Miss Sonderegger came with high honors to Mundelein. Short-story Writers Aid Bishop's Journal Tentative fame leaned down recently and tapped the shoulders of five girls from the short-story writing class. The Most Reverend Bernard J. Sheil, D.D., asked if the class would care to contribute stories to his magazine, the Waif's Mes senger. The decision as to what stories were to be sent was left entirely to the class. The stories finally chosen were: The Hero, by Mary Jane Blenner; Kidnapped, by Eileen Hettinger; Husbandly Solici tude, by Evelyn Lincoln; the Way of a Maid, by Bernadette Manning; and The Cost of Glory, by Dorothy Turner. Holiday will be Awarded Group with Largest Sum Over Quota Auction and contract will vie with frills and furbelows at the third annual card party sponsored by the Student Ac tivities Council, on April 26, at 8:15 p. m. in the grand ballroom of the Palmer House. Besides games of bridge, the evening's entertainment will include a style show under the supervision of the Mundelein home economics department, and the distribution of attractive door prizes. As the only all-student activity of the year, the affair is expected to attract a record attendance. Proceeds will be used for the equipment of the new library on the east side of the campus.

A 1934 spring wedding will be outfitted for the benefit of the party-goers. A bride in the traditional white lace will advance down tlie palm-decked aisle between the rows of tables. Her bridesmaids and flower-girls will wear the delicate pastel shades so much in demand during the present season. As an unusual feature and one of espe cial interest for the adult members of the audience, two older women will act as mannequins, displaying the more mature styles in fabric and design. Students in charge of the fashion dis play are Mae Frawley, Mary Moore, Vir- (Continued on page 4, col. 2) Orchestra to Play at Palmer House Wearing their dashing gold-satin dresses, cardinal red capes, and mortar board caps, the members of the Munde lein College orchestra will appear at the Palmer House on Wednesday evening, April 25, at the invitation of the La Salle General Assembly, Knights of Columbus. The occasion for this performance is the convocation of the Knights of Colum bus, and it is a thrill indeed for the or chestra members, as it is the first time they have had an evening engagement away from the College.

Sister Mary Angelita came to Munde lein College as head of the English de partment when the College opened in the fall of 1930. A writer of distinction her self, Sister spared no effort to develop the creative gifts of her students, and un der her direction the various College pub lications were established. In 1931 Sister organized at Mundelein the Charles L. O'Donnell unit of the Catholic Poetry Society of America, of which she was a member. Sister Mary Angelita was the author of Starshine and Candlelight, a volume of poems, and a contributor to America, Commonweal, Star-Dust, the Catholic World, and other magazines. A number of her poems appear in various American anthologies. Sister's most recent publication was three tanka on prayer which won the Star Dust Poetry Prize in 1931, and which appeared in the March 16 issue of the Commonweal. Sister also had an article in the February Catholic World, entitled Forbears of some English Words. (Continued on page 4, col. 3) Miss Kersting to Sing At Glee Club Concert On May 11, when the Glee club appears in its fourth annual spring concert, it will have as its soloist Kathleen Kersting, a young American singer who is attracting considerable attention in operatic circles and whose career has in it elements of the proverbial fairy tale. Up to this time Miss Kersting's career includes study under the great Madame Emma Calve, debut as Marguerite in Faust at 19, Chicago debut in Beetho ven's Fidelio, and appearances under Toscanini in the Wagner festival at Bay- reuth. As a child at Mt. Carmel academy in Wichita Miss Kersting showed dramatic ability and a fondness for acting. Later her voice began to develop and at only thirteen she was singing in choirs. Her first public appearance that year was in an amateur program at the Wichita theatre. It was a year later that Madame Calve gave a concert in Wichita, and an audi tion with her was arranged for Kathleen. Madame Calve's interest was immediately aroused, and she carried off the fourteen- year-old child for study in Europe. Besides receiving vocal instruction she was tutored in languages and all the other (Continued on page 4, col. 4)
