Childhood is past. Mundelein and the present Seniors have come of age. When Mundelein and many of the Seniors came into the world, in 1930, the United States was in the midst of a de pression. There were bread lines apple venders on street corners large numbers of un employed. A popular phrase of the era was Brother, can you spare a dime. Newspaper readers were astonished by a bulletin announcing the first Pacific non-stop flight. Japan was beginning its conquest of China. The Empire State building, tallest in the world, was astonishing New Yorkers, and Chicago's first skyscraper college was being noted by Chicagoans. College life in the early thirties was receiving superficial reporting in the pap ers. Students swallowed goldfish. Depression-weary people found diver sion in miniature golf. Jazz gave way to swing, and dance orchestras went in for bigger ensembles, more noise, less finesse. People were depressed but parents of Mundelein Seniors were wise enough to save for their daughters' education, and the Sisters of Charity, B.V.M., were brave enough to open a College which would serve the needs of thousands of Chica goans. All this was in the early 30*s when the iors and Mundelein were growing.
