I Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER January 22, 1936 Science Forum Captures Club Basketball Crown Defeats Home Economics Club 18-6; Commerce Places Third p- The Science Forum's speed and ex ceptional accuracy in passing and shoot- ing were the determining factors in their defeat of the Home Economics club by a score of 18-6 in the final game of the Interclub Basketball tourney on Jan. 17. With brilliant offensive work on the part of their forwards and an airtight defense, they held the Home Economics team to a 9-0 score as the half ended. The only opportunity given the Home Economics team to score, a free throw J by Carol Sweeney, was invalidated. Score 16-4 at Quarter Poor luck dogged the footsteps of the Home Economics forwards, who were unable to score in 18 minutes of play until Carol Sweeney broke loose from her guard and scored two successive shots. Led by Marion Gilbert, the Sci ence forwards increased their score to 16-4 as the third quarter ended. Under very even playing during the fourth quarter, single baskets were scored by Carol Sweeney and Marion Gilbert to bring the score to 18-6 as the game ended. Though it is difficult to break up that perfect science combination, Mildred Parker, Irma Rilling, and Marion Gil bert, to give individual recognition, it is noteworthy that Marion Gilbert rolled up a grand total of 42 points during three games in which the Science club parti- pated, leading all other club forwards by almost 20 points. Third place in the tourney went to the Commerce players, last year's Interclub champions, who defeated the Press club 26-6 in the consolation round on Jan. 9 after a far more exciting game than the score would indicate. Enter University Sports Day Tentative arrangements have been made for the winners of the first three places and the Terrapin club, who placed fourth, to participate in a sports play day on Feb. 29 at the University of Chicago, with other neighboring colleges. With the Interclub tournament over, the gymnasium is now open for practice for the Interclass Basketball tournament, which will be run off in February. Mary Tuohy, senior, Mildred Parker, junior; Sue Adams, sophomore; and Irma Rill ing, freshmen, have been appointed to assist Felicia Pontecarvo, general man ager of the tournament. Eva Condon Lauds Cast of Comedian The comedian is over, but the melody lingers on, so to speak, in the shape of fan mail, press notices, and personal con gratulations notably from Miss Eva Condon, radio dramatist who followed up her note to the Laetare Players by a visit to the College and by a subsequent article which she wrote for call board, official publication of the Catholic Actors Guild of America, published in New York City. Daughter of Captain Edward Meagher Condon, the distinguished Irish patriot, Miss Condon was formerly on the stage, starring in the late Christopher bean, THE GUARDSMAN, and THE PURE IN HEART. In her article in call board, Miss Con don states: These young women (the players in the comedian) had received training which gave them, to an extra ordinary degree, purity of diction, finely modulated voices, intelligence of phras ing, grace of body, rhythm of move ment, and keen development of latent gifts for acting. The eye, car, and brain of the beholder were rejoiced and grate ful .. . The future of the American theatre in such hands as these is safe. History Class Presents Antigone in New Setting With all due apologies to Sophocles, Antigone, a Greek tragedy, was pre sented in a program in the history of civilization class, section B, on Dec. 20. The cast included those students who arc finishing the history course at the end of the semester. The story of the play centers around the heroine, Antigone, who knowingly incurs the penalty of death by disobeying an unrighteous command of the wicked king. The characters were portrayed by Ruth l.askcr, Dorothy Hess, Meta Gold stein, Ruth Dallas, Margaret Ronan, and Elcctra Deligiannis. Mildred Ratner and Marcella Windlc explained the early Greek theater, and the entire program was under the direc tion of Dorothy Hess. ++ ++++++++-f ++ v-f-f+++++-HH i + +++ - ++-f++++ +++++ +-f-f++-H SKYSCRAPINGS H m+++* HHHIHIWI With the semester examinations playing peek-a-boo and necessitating plans for the midnight oil, the Flut terby wishes to tell of the various social functions Mundelein students attended during the holiday season. Dec. 20 arrived, all school books were cast aside, the porter said All Aboard, and away went many of our lassies to the north, south, east, and west. New Orleans was visited by Katherine Kenny and Mary Ann Riley, while in the east Marian Home Faculty Members Attend Meetings Senior Is Present At Senate Opening; Hears Night Message It is always difficult to return to school after the holidays, but Roma Murphy, president of the Laetare Players, is find ing it harder than usual after a vividly exciting fortnight in the East. Chicago seems so quiet after Wash ington, Miss Murphy said. There, something is happening every minute, and the opening of Congress has everyone wild with excitement. As the house-guest of Representative and Mrs. William T. Schulte, of Indiana, Miss Murphy was in the nation's capital to hear the President's Congressional ad dress and the first session of the House. Not the least of the thrills experienced during her stay was sitting next to the Roosevelt party during the address. I had to sit on the steps of the gal lery, Miss Murphy admitted, but just being there was enough. Incidentally, Washington is very pro-Roosevelt. Wagers on the coming election are four to one in favor of the president's re-elec tion. Terrapins to Hear Studio Broadcast A party of 35 Terrapins and their guests are planning a visit to the NBC studios in the Merchandise Mart on the evening of Jan. 27 to hear The Contented Program. Following this first semester finale, prospective members of both Senior and Junior Terrapins will be allowed to try out on Feb. 3 or 10 at 4:00; successful candidates will be received formally on Feb. 20, at the club's fifth birthday party. No further opportunities to join the club ranks will be offered this semester for those who would like to take part in Terrapin activities. For the benefit of new Senior Terra pins who are required to pass their senior .life saving tests, and all other students interested in earning a badge, life saving IP. classes will be held on Tuesday and J: 'Thursday at 9, 10, 12, 2, 3, and 4 o'clock I 'during the coming semester. (Continued from page 1, col. 4) The College librarians attended the convention of the Catholic Library asso ciation, held al De Paul university on Dec. 27 and 28, at which Sister Mary Robert Hugh discussed a paper on The Librarian's Contribution to Freshman Orientation. The Librarians attended, too, the meet ings of the American Library association, held in the city on Dec. 30. At the American Catholic Philosoph ical association meeting, held in Cleve land on Dec. 30 and 31, Faculty members who attended heard interesting discus sions on the ethical problems involved in labor disputes and on the relation of philosophy to the sciences. Delegates from the science department attended the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and Associated Societies, held in St. Louis Dec. 30-Jan. 4, at the invitation of Washington university, St. Louis uni versity, and the Academy of Science of St. Louis. Outstanding conferences of the conven tion were given by Professor Compton, of the University of Chicago, who has temporarily closed a significant controv ersy with his recent developments in cos mic rays, and by J. Clausedn, Carnegie Institute, Th. Debzansky, University of California, and Sewall Wright, of Chi cago, whose symposium dealt with species from a genetic standpoint. Dr. David Kinley Is College Guest (Continued from page 1, col. 4) had a most beneficial effect on the uni versity in the opinion of Dr. Kinley, whose countless admirers and friends in clude many Catholic religious. Mundelein College itself, with its re markable equipment, provides a splendid environment for the pursuit of learning, while the students evidence the same spirit of youth, the same enthusiasm, which, Dr. Kinley complimented, char acterize his own girls at the university. Member of several educational and civ ic organizations, once minister plenipo tentiary (a title which he descirbes as meaning very little, and which nobody can spell ) to Chile and the recipient of honorary degrees from foremost uni versities in the country, Dr. Kinley has enjoyed a busy and a balanced life that has made him a kindly and penetrating philosopher. A regular reader of the skyscraper, the former university president wrote to the paper last year to compliment it upon an editorial, Feminity Deceased or Latent? by Ann Lally '35. Following his visit, Dr. Kinley pre sented the College library with copies of Doctor C. O'Kelleher's life of colum- cii.le, written under his direction when he was dean of the graduate school at Illinois; and of the story of makyknoll, written by Bishop Walsh, an intimate friend of Dr. Kinley. Ex-Premier of St* Edward's Island Discusses Education By Julia Mary Hanna Room 305 is an adequate press room on all occasions, but when the ex-premier of Prince Edward's Island, Dr. William J. P. MacMillan walked in, while visit ing the College recently, it became a re porter's paradise 1 An added incentive and aid in being an interviewcr-on-the spot was his companion, the Reverend Richard R. St. John, who is editor of The Book Shop in extension magazine and director of the Order of Martha. A distinguished but retiring gentleman, with the direct and energetic eyes of a leader, and the kindly, sympathetic man ner of a doctor, the premier's first words were for the College. Mundelein College is very impressive, he began. How does it compare with your Prince of Wales college in Charlotte- town? I asked. Well, that's a teachers' college, he said. I had quite a bit to do with the building of it myself. I was minister of education and public health in 1932, when it was built to replace the one destroyed by fire. Of course, he smiled, it is not so elaborate as this. The Doctor, who is a noted surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, stressed the part that health plays in a college education. So inter ested was he, that he turned interviewer for the moment, and, finding that the College requires a physician's certificate of all entrants and that a registered nurse is a member of the Faculty, stated, That protection is quite adequate. The headlines of the morning paper suggested the next query. The new tariff between Canada and the United States? I think it will work out to the good of both countries in time. It will be opposed, of course, by small groups to which it will be detrimental. The two countries have much in com mon. St. Dunstan's university at Charlotte- town, alma mater of Father St. John, has the largest number of paid up schol arships for its enrollment in the world. It is there that the clergy arc educated. Prince Edward's is called the Isle of Priests, Father informed us, because it has furnished priests to practically every city in the world. It is the usual thing for each family to have at least one member serving God in religion. Caecilians Present Concert on Jan. 26 (Continued from page 1, col. 5) the Christmas cantata recently performed by the Glee club. Another pipe organ and piano ensemble will be the interesting and vivacious Rhapsody of Demarest, the well-known American organist. Instrumental solos will include Kreis- ler's Tambourine Chinois and Sicilien- neand Rigaudon, the Francocr-Kreisler arrangement both for violin; and Bohm's Calm as the Night, arranged by Profesor Walter Flandorf for solo cor net. The Lady of Yesteryear, a colorful musical fantasy with a background of colonial Americanism, will be enacted in costume as a program interlude. Its title taken from Arthur Penn's operetta, The Lady of the Terrace, the romance con tains songs by Woodman, Whelply, de Kovcn, and Coombs. Three operatic arias, One Fine Day from Madame Butterfly, by the prolific Puccini; Mon couer s'ouvre a ta voix, from Saint-Saens' Samson and Delilah, and the waltz, Je veux dans ce reve, from Gounod's Romeo and Juliet, will con stitute the solo voice contributions to the program. Lastly, we list the pipe organ solos of the evening, always enthusiastically re ceived by Mundelein audiences Scherzo by Gigout and Finale in B Flat by Franck; and the first movement from Guilmant s First Sonata, an interesting composition from the pen of the great French organist and composer. Original student compositions will be heard in the Clokey suite, the second pi ano part of which was written by Mil dred Sperry, and in the Chopin prel udes, arranged for two pianos by Jessie Belle Kramer. and Roma Murphy were waving the senior colors high and Sara Cardy was spending many enjoyable hours in New York City. Lorraine Doody spent her vacation in one of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis. Among the resident students who bid fond adieux we heard of Helen Wienecke from Denver, Colorado, Jane Fahey, Ridgeway, Pennsylvania, Lois Newell and Jeanne De Laurier from the beautiful town of Marinette, Wisconsin, and Ruth Moran from Kansas City. With the New Year at hand, many students entertained their friends at ' open house. One of the largest fes tivities was that given by Mary Joyce Vail, the latter entertaining Margaret Fitzgerald, Catherine Lindley, Mae Sexton, Katherine Wolford, Maxine Lindsay, Betty Zoes, Virginia O'Con nell, Catherine Angsten, and Rita De vaney. Mary Elizabeth O'Connell also had open house, and among the Mundeleinites that attended were Rose Mary Ronan and Lois Steffens. The music goes 'round and 'round, and here we are at the beginning ot the New Year. To welcome it we find many Mundeleinites attending house parties. Among those are Mar garet Cleary, Ann Ellen Smith, Jane Healy, Edith Coyne, Margaret Barrie, Mary McNulty, Carol Sweeney, Rose mary Conley, Virginia Sheehy, Rose mary Kearns, Mary Hymes, Helen Whiteside, Dorothy Dozois, Merle Smith, Geraldine Ferstel, Dolores Murphy, Rosemary McVey, Ruth Ro- chelle, Rita O'Donohue, Loretta Goe- bel, Betty Boehme, Ruth Mae Amann, Agnes Rodell, and Betty Blichert. It seems as though practically all 1 Chicago has attended The Great Waltz and we hear that among those at tending it were Mercedes McCam- bridge, Mary Rose Brown, Jane Spald ing, Anna Marie Masterson, Charlotte Wilcox, Margaret Werlein, Margaret Egan, Katherine Ott, Jeanne Devaney, and Jane Sullivan. Attending the popular Edgewater Beach hotel on Jan. 3 we glimpsed Phyllis Hoffman. Georgette Thoss, Jeanne Theis, and Kathleen O'Brien. At the Congress hotel was Yvonne Crowley, and at the Parkway hotel Marion Gilbert, and enjoying them selves immensely at the Revelers Dance were Dorothy Kullman, Flor ence Griffin, and Betty Haffner. It has been rumored about that the I Mummy and the Mumps, a three-act play written by Larry E. Johnson, is to be presented by Our Lady of Lourdes C. Y. O. Dramatic society at the Ravcnswood Temple on Jan. 23 and 24. Annabelle Morris ex '37 is a member of the cast and the following Mundeleinites will attend: Geraldine Ferstel, Anna Margaret Healy, Kath erine De Lage, Alice Mayfield, Doro thy Fitzgerald, Mary Margaret Leen, Ruth Mae Amann, Jeanne Theis, and Frances McCambridge. Cheer ye Notre Dame and what a grand time we had This was the echoing cry of Katherine Mueller, Jane Lacey, Nancy Butler, Betty Heb- ner, Roberta McTiernan, Eleanor Hopkins, and Dorothy Egan, who at tended the Notre Dame Chicago club dance at the Medinah Athletic club. Nothing could be more fitting than to close the column written by the Flutterby by telling of the tea that was attended by Agnes Griffin, Jessie Kramer, and Eleonore Solewska, on which occasion Mildred Sperry's en gagement to Harold Finlay was an nounced. With the New Year at hand, the Flutterby wishes to possess a clean slate and for this reason she deems it necessary to rectify the error stated in the last issue, namely, that a dance was sponsored by Alpha Delt. This statement was incorrect.
