The sophomores know the answer to this conundrum, but they are guarding it with their very lives at least until October 29 when they will hold their fofmaTTmfiatidrr of the first year students. When does a dignified freshman lose her dignity? Again the sophomores know the answer, and again they won't talk.

(Continued on page 3, col. 5) Sophomores Strive for Streamlined Personalities Do you radiate happiness, enthusiasm, confidence? ... Do you do your work? . . . Does a dollar burn a hole in your pocket ? What ho? An over-inquiring reporter running wild? A town gossip gathering specimens ? NO A sophomore looking into herself, via the Self-Measurement for College Students in the pamphlet that has been doing some pre-Hallowecn haunting in sophomore head -quarters. It all started when the sophomore Coun sellors asked their victims to make a Self- Measurement Chart, with 10 spaces for 10 fundamental life relations, listen to the questions, and then rate themselves 1, 2, 3, or +1, +2, +3, according to their degree of perfection or imperfec tion in each particular life relation. Voyez done .... Do you dread so cial contacts? Are you a man-hater? Are your friendships often broken? Do you fear to meet prominent people? Do you disregard the feelings of others in your conduct? If your answers are Yes, you rate a minus one for the life relation of society. But if, on the other hand, you take the initiative in developing social life, rank friendships above social triumphs, can forgive offenses, be at home at a formal affair, you deserve a high rating in society, and the scale turns to +2. Relentlessly the questions continue, in terrogating you about Physique, Work, Property, Pleasure, Science, Art, Family, Country, and Religion, and then heartless ly giving you your rating. i(Bimmm im I. Mmm r - V Dorothy Foy mm Black and Silver Motif Will Prevail at Cotillion Tonight Unite in Adoration On Sunday's Feast Celebrating the fast of Christ the King on Oct. 25, Mundelein students will main- lain the traditional guard oTnonor as they participate in all-day adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in their parish churches. Instituted at the time of the Jubilee in 1925 by Pope Pius XI, the feast of Christ the King exemplifies tlie present- day trend toward veneration of leaders. The liturgy of the Mass for that day defines the Kingship of Christ and the character of His Kingdom, and is espe cially remarkable for its dramatic beauty and power. Eileen Madden, chairman of the Litur gical academy, which is sponsoring the program for the day, also announces that members of her committee will present a practical offering on some phase of the liturgy of the Church. Under the chairmanship of Roberta Christie, the Literature academy will be gin its official work of the year during the week of Nov. 2, when its members will conduct a magazine drive for the County hospital. Other activities of the Literature group have been the collection of subscriptions to the Queen's Work and the discussion of the Catholic Renais sance at academy meetings. Renewal of activity at the catechetical centers has been begun by the Apostolic academy with Mary Margaret Pembroke as chairman. Members of the Catholic Social Action roup are arranging for a radio clean up drive in the near future. Mary Mc Nulty, chairman, announced that the com mittee will also hold a Tag Day some time during the next month.
