Glittering snowflakes floated lazily by and as they diminished we found ourselves at the Tarn O'Shanter where Loretta Kinzig, Judith Skwiot, Maureen Connerty, and Kathleen Slattery were dancing on pink clouds at Loyola's Sno- ball. The snow began to fall again, this time on Powers Lake and Sar ah Rotto, Anne Davidson, and Marie Kobielus at St. Bartholo mew's Lumen Christi Young Peo ple's club outing. Gay colored streamers and con fetti swirled around. It was No tre Dame's Mardi Gras and in the chaos of color were Ann Coe, Jean Herbeck, Clare Christensen, Bar bara Mannix, Mary Lou Lawless, Dorothy Plambeck, Marjorie Kas- ner, and Martha Masterson. Carol Wincek, Virginia Brews ter, Maureen McDonough, Sheila Coieman, Mary Vivian Cunnea, Shirley Parelli, and Patricia O' Donnell were having as merry a time, but it was St. Joseph's Mardi Gras. Lacy hearts and wicked-looking Cupids spun over Loretta Sheff- ner at the Loras College Sweet heart ball. Distracting noises disturbed the blissful peace of the dream, and it turned out to be the Alpha Delta fraternity party, where Mary Apel, Carolyn White, Florence Theisen, Joan Duszynski, Nancy Phee, Mar jorie Daly, Gene McCarthy, and Kathleen Newman were adding to the gaiety. So were Jean Purcell, Margaret Cook, Eileen McAvoy, and Mary Catherine Long at Loy ola's Junior class party. All became quiet once more with the romantic strains of the orches tra at the M and M club in the Merchandise Mart, where Anne Molloy and Mary Ellen Hukill were dancing at the Evans Schol ars' dance. We seemed to drift along to De Paul's Inter-Fraternity Council ball and watched as Sheila O'Hal- loran, Gale Quane, Mary Therese Walsdorf, Winifred Johnson, Jan et Kennedy, and Betty Flanagan glided by. With sudden swiftness, we were transported to the Chi-Rho club dance, attended by Barbara Bick, Lorraine Gualtieri, Marguerite Molitor, and Shirley Hoyle. Eve, Cleopatra Share Spotlight With Mozart In Coming Review Future Assembly Will Have Foreign Air Robert Howat, pianist, and Hen ri Noell, baritone, will perform at assembly, March 1, offering selec tions from the French impression istic school and contemporary American composers.

It highlights Associate Editor, lean Flood's poem, Eve, and an abridged transcript of a discussion by students of twentieth-century literature.

College Goes to Jazz is the title of Lynda Rousseau's essay, and Joan Kies and Jean Flood write on the operas of Mozart. Among the reviews, Mary Ann Oriental music and bamboo trees appeared through the mist, and there were Joan Zander and Diane Scifres applauding The Teahouse of the August Moon. And Alice Raczak and Rosemary Pordugal were exulting over the Loyola Theatre group's production of the (ireek tragedy, Antigone. We saw the happy faces of Ju dith Azzarello, Mary Ellen Dwyer, Ann Norton, Dolores Rittenburg, and June Chenelle at Phi Mu's din ned dance. They were enjoying themselves as much as Marguerite Dyra, Joanne Posch, Joan Parker, and Mary Margaret Deal at Alver- nia's .Alumnae 'lance at the Palm er House. Next in the confused dream, we -aw I'i lpha Lambda's fraternity party, and Mariann Hoffman, Vir ginia Durkin, Marythomas Helge son, Ellen Schoen, Cynthia Swan- son, Dawn McKee, Mary Jane Walthouse, and Irene Keough. The whistling wind buffeted our faces as we observed Patricia By ers and Sheila Coleman skiing down the snowy hills at Iron Moun tain. Mich. Eleanor Ferraina, Phyllis Fulgaro, Eileen Joyce, and Karlene Oeser were enjoying a winter vacation across the lake in Wisconsin. The strains of a march wafted by. and so did Anne Toland and Diane Sherwood at the Cook Coun ty Officer's Club Military ball. The tempo slowed to a waltz and Jean- nine Dwyer, Patricia Nolan, San dra Ivan, and Rosemary Bock looked dreamy at Loyola's Cupid Capers dance. So did Judith Witt at Northwestern's Phi Gamma dance. We returned to reality and the text books after a quick dream trip over the state line to Milwau kee where Kathleen Donahoe, Kathleen Igoe, Magdalina Montbri- and, Patricia McTigue, Barbara June, and Barbara Guderian were spending the weekend. Harold discusses Life's picture story The World We Live In. and the pledges contcmplae Life's issue on Christianity. Lillian Hartke reviews the first novel from behind the Iron Cur tain, Thaw.
