Hobby Becomes Profession; Alumnae Design Novelties Now it's Originals by Clem and Irene for the feminine shopper in Chi cago, I ).iL 1'ark, and Fvanst in, and it won't be long before the city of Times Square and the Empire State will be fea turing the distinguished hand-made jew elry of two former Mundelein students. Behind the perfection of the complete ly hand-made necklace series. Originals by Clem and Irene, is the story of two Catholic college graduates, Irene Lavin, '36, and Clementina Paloney ex '35, who, a short while ago. were signing botany and home economics after Major on the Registrar's file cards, and who later found themselves with a hobby turned professional. The girls with the profitable hobby attended Mundelein together; Miss Lavin to be graduated in 1935, Miss Paloney to finish evening school with an A.B. from Loyola in 19.57. After graduation. Miss Lavin went to the University of Illinois to do graduate work in horticulture, and later joined the staff at the Garfield Park conserva tory. Miss Paloney followed all the steps to her present position as teacher of sewing and dress design at Providence high school. Making necklaces of leather and wood was just a hobby at first for the girls whose delight extended only to themselves and their friends. What happened to the hobby is the citation of its immediate success, hundreds of orders received for the necklaces, and a recent trip to New York to introduce the jewelry there. About the necklaces themselves they are clever scries revolving around a popu lar motif the public likes the football and crib series best. A particular necklace of the football series, for ex ample, might be a leather chain, hung with eight square wooden blocks, and the name of a university oil a tiny beige suede piece at the clasp. The wooden blocks may serve as a decorative football schedule with the names of the teams the university will meet inscribed on each. You're right, there's even a place for the score. Freshmen Sing, But Not For Supper Led by Rita Callaghan, freshman who sings on the Irish I lour, Alice Dowling, Dorothy Grill, and Mary Gertrude Bot- tum, the Class of 1944 held its first of ficial sing in the tea-room, Oct. 2, with Marion Jacobs, Marie Xordby, and Mary Margaret Sbeehy providing piano ac companiments.

Dorothy Grill wrote one of her own in addition to the partnership one; Marcella Garrity and Marjorie Murnighan wrote one together, and the following contributed one apiece: Lucille Bates, Adele Bujewski, Jean Pat- noc, and Mary Kaye Smith. Concluding their sing, which had as a command feature a standing song for the sophomores, the freshmen sang God Bless .America and the College Cheer Song, under the direction of Frances Piskozub. Hostesses were Ann Trave, Lorraine Knaub, Audrey F'wry, Vali Ballentine, Mary Rose McDonnell, Armella Schwartz, Laure Vaiidcrlecnc, Vivian Tarant, Patricia Leahy, Dolores Rud- nik, Jane Courtney, anil Alyce Erlcn- baugh. Players Have Tea; Plan Theatre Party Silver candles and Strauss waltzes pro vided a subtle background for the Lae tare Players' tea on Oct. 1, as members and pledges chatted gaily while posing unknowingly for the candid camera shots of Genevieve Faust, freshman drama student. Tuesday's tea was under the direction of Mary Louise Shannon, social chair man. Hostesses were Frances Galgano and Marianne Achtcn. The Players are planning a theater party to see Life With Father. Christian Family Life Is Theme for Sodality Centering discussion around the gen eral theme of Sodality activity this year, We Catholics and Our Country, the Catholic Social Action committee, beaded by Patricia Byrne, took charge of the initial Sodality meeting of the year on Oct. 7. Prefect Dorothy Sugrue opened the meeting, and called for reports by the secretary, Mary Ellen Kelly, and the treasurer, Royce McFadyen. With The Christian Family as the special topic for discussion, Loretta Calnan spoke on The Example of Christian Virtues in Home Life. Mary Allegretti discussed Factors in the Promotion of Sound Family Life. Miss Byrne considered the problem of Spiritual Rather Than Material Tics, and Peggy Meade talked on Re sources Within The Family Group. Freshmen Nominate President, Oct. 22 In accordance with the procedure for elections outlined in the Handbook, the president of the Student Activities Coun cil, Dorothy Homan, will call a meeting f the freshman class on Oct. 22 for the purpose of nominating candidates for class president. Nomination speeches should not exceed 10 minutes, and, to insure that nomi nees be regular members of the fresh man class, their names must be submitted in the Dean's office at least 3 hours be fore the nominating assembly. The president will be elected on Oct. 29. Love's Labour's Lost Is Queen Elizabeth's 1597 Christmas Gift One of Queen Elizabeth's Christmas presents of 1597 will be given to Mun delein College students for Thanksgiv ing, 1940, when the Shakespearean dra ma Love's Labour's Lost is presented by the Laetare Players on November 23 and 24. Teeming with puns and conceits and highly elaborate in plot, this play illus trates the practice that Renaissance kings bad of turning their courts into acad emies of learning from which ladies were excluded. In Love's Labour's Lost, however, the Princess of F'rancc and her ladies- in-waiting intrude upon the austere court f Xavarre anil from then on the wom en have their way, and turn King Fer dinand's strict laws into a topsy turvy farce. Youthful and pastoral, full of the Ren aissance zest for learning and of the recollections of schoolbooks, schooldays, and of the Warwickshire countryside, Love's Labour's Lost is one of the gay est and most exuberant plays that Shake speare ever wrote. There is little doubt that it will also be one of the most de lightful plays that Laetare Players have enacted. Vogue Wants Senior Designers, Writers Contenders for preeminence in the fashion field are invited to enter Vogue's sixth Prix de Paris Contest. Two po sitions with Vogue and five cash prizes are the aw-ards for which the interested will vie.

Encourage Catholic Youth to Think, Act At First Congress Considering the proposed First Cath olic Youth Congress of the Archdiocese of Chicago, the Most Reverend Samuel A. Stritch, D.D., Archbishop of Chi cago, wrote: We must do all in our power to per fect and make more vigorous in our Archdiocese our Apostolate of Catholic Youth. When we contemplate the pos sibilities of it (this Congress) there come to us the words, 'Caritas Omnia V'incit.' When that Congress, having for its theme. Catholic Youth Speaks on the Role of Christian Democratic Ideals in the New World Order, met Oct. 4, 5. 6. the Most Reverend Bernard J. Sheil, D.D., V.G., auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, answered: This first Catholic Youth Congress dedicates itself to the Archbishop . . . Where you lead. Archbishop, they will follow. When you command, they will obey. Clarifying issues during the first gen eral session, The Most Reverend Rob ert L. Lucey, D.D., Bishop of Amarillo, Texas, speaking on Democracy Its Foundations and Its Future, main tained : The Church says sovereignty lies in the people . . The first act of a tyrant is to crush the Church, because She keeps alive the flame of liberty . . . The Church is the protector of demo cracy. Before the final resolutions were drawn, Father Bergin summarized: The cause of the present world ca tastrophe, social, economic, and politi cal, can be traced to the banishment of God and the moral law from the coun cils of nations. There must be either a law of right or a law of might there can be no al ternatives. The hope of America and the hope of every nation on earth, lies in its in telligent young men and women. Round Town . . Sub-Debs Organize; Plan New Program Organized in 1938 as a prep school for varsity debaters, the Sub-Debs, freshman debate group, has reached the status of an activity this year with of ficers and a program of its own. With Patricia Hoffman as leader. Frances Dickenson as scribe; Helen Saner as herald, and Patricia Bledsoe as social chairman, the Sub-Debs arc studying parliamentary law, organizing round tables for discussion of current debate subjects, and preparing for a stu dent congress to be held later this fall. Who Was the Man Who Made Us Sing? Mundclcinitcs sat up and listened as Viktor Hedgren, energetic NBC choral director, injected life and spirit into the College Cheer Song on Oct. 1. After the liveliest assembly of the year, Mr. Hedgren agreed that the results of his work were well worth bis expen diture of energy. A native of Sweden who has been in this country 13 years, Mr. Hedgren be gan to study music at the age of six. He has composed the music and writ ten the lyrics for a number of musical reviews. One of the differences in tendencies between natives of Sweden and the United States is. in bis opinion, the love of the former for expression in large choral groups. Convinced that variety is the spice of Life, Round Town offers diverse condi ments this week to season your idle or monotonous hours. The Loyola Community theatre is be ginning its fourteenth season October 14, and a light dash of Mrs. Bumpstead- Leigii, its opening event, should suit the most discriminating taste. A comedy in three acts by Harry James Smith, orig inally produced with Minnie Maddern Fiske in the title role, MRS. BUMFSTEAD- LeIGH inaugurates something very dif ferent in this season's community the atre program. A definite trend toward dramatic works in the lighter vein rather than heavy tragic vehicles will be wit nessed this year in the playhouse on Lo yola avenue. Chicagoans will receive a real treat Oct. 28 with the return of the original Ballet Rtisse to the Auditorium Theater for the first time in two years. Wise lovers of the dance would do well to re serve seats in advance for one of the seven performances to be given by the Colonel W. de Basil's troupe. Serge Grigorieff and Antal Dorati arc, respectively, regisseur and musical direc tor of the ballet, and Tatiaua Riabouch- inska, Tamara Toumanova, David Licb- ine. and Lubov Tchernicheva will star with Irina Baronova. The season's performances of the troup will include five new ballets, as well as such old favorites as Aurora's Wedding, Les Sylphides. made famous by Vaslav Nijinsky, and Le Coq d'Or. Also musical, but a dash heavier than the ballet, arc the concerts to be given by the Women's Symphony orchestra in Orchestra Hall on Oct. 15. Nov. 19. Dec. 11. and January 8. These programs will be conducted by Tzler Solomon and will include performances by Mischa Mischakoff, former concert master in the Chicago Symphony orchestra; Robert Topping, the young tenor who won the 1939 Opera auditions; and the Chicago Symphonic choir, directed by Walter Aschenbrenner. Anyone who happened to miss Sonja Hcnic's show on skates last Christmas will be happy to hear that the Ice Fol lies of 1941, produced by Shipstad and Johnson, will arrive at the Chicago Arena Oct. 16, for an indefinite stay. Starring Bess Erhardt, who is as love ly in face and figure as she is breathtak ing on skates, and featuring Evelyn Chandler and Frick and Frack. the Fol lies might prove that The ice show is the thing unquote. Since we are shaking of dashes and therefore of daubs, we cannot ignore two important art exhibits which will be shown for an unlimited period. Julius Moesscl. number one Chicago painter, has just completed a series of 15 murals for the Field Museum of Natural His tory. They arc installed in Hall 25 and show the production, gathering, and dis tribution of vegetable foods in many parts of the world and present scenes illustrating the conditions which pre vailed in the past in contrast to those we find today. Probably the most important show in town is that of historical portraits at the Anderson Galleries, 530 S. Michigan avenue. This is a small group of pic tures, but most significant because each canvas is irreplacable and of the great est historical import. The collection in cludes two portraits of Washington, one by Rembrandt Peale, described as inter esting, and the other by Gilbert Stuart, which is undeniably superb. One of the most dominating portraits in the exhibit is that of Benjamin Franklin, by Carle Van Loo, which is outstanding for its realism and detail.
