Terrapins Prove Finance Wizards At Fifth Pageant Besides being a beautiful demonstra tion of aquatic skill and grace, the Terrapins' fifth annual water pageant was a decided financial triumph.

Loyohi'Mundelein Hear Dorothy Day Loyola university and Mundelein College students heard a lecture given by Miss Dorothy Day at the Loyola gym nasium, on May 14. For those who are unacquainted with her activities, Miss Day is a former communist, who was a picket in the district of New York in addition to being a staunch supporter of the Daily Worker, official organ of the Communists. Accidentally, Miss Day contacted the principles of justice and charity- stressed in teachings of the Church, and later became a convert to Cath olicism. At present she edits the Catholic Daily Worker, a challenging publica tion against Communism, which has for its aim the promulgation of a so cial program based on the encyclicals of the Popes, and which has proved a vital factor towards reconstructing the social order. Mundelein W.A.A. enthusiasts may- look back with considerable pride upon this year's sports' calendar, for it indi cates that, with the growing enthusiasm of the student body as evidenced in in ter-class competition, athletics are grad ually assuming their rightful place in our College life. Striking the keynote for a successful year, the soccer tournament opened in November under the direction of Har riet McDermott and Miss Catherine Schirz, instructor in physical education. The seniors, by defeating every other class team, wrenched the soccer crown from the sophomores, defending cham pions, who placed second. An Army- Navy All-Star game and a banquet hon oring the All-Star team rounded out the soccer season. The volley ball tourney, played off in December under the management of Ruth Mary Gorman, resulted in a freshman victory over the seniors in the finals by a score of 19-18. With the resumption of classes follow ing the Christmas holidays, the athletic department inaugurated an inter-club basketball tourney, preliminary to the in- tramurals. The play-off between the Commerce and Give clubs, finalists of the ten organizations which entered teams, resulted in a 9-8 victory for the Com merce players, who thereby merited the inter-club pennant award. Not only did the tournament succeed in its major purpose of offering the maximum number of students an op portunity to compete in friendly compe tition, but it added an impetus to student enthusiasm which carried over into the interclass basketball tournament and swimming meet. The sophomores, in the tournament which followed, created the biggest up set of the sport year by defeating the seniors, who for three successive years had retained the basketball championship. Following several weeks of intensive training, the Terrapins held their annual telegraphic and interclass swimming meet on March 29. The sophomores literally walked off with the cup by amassing 44 out of a possible 69. points. The winning times on the 40-yard front crawl and breast stroke by Helen Bulchunis, sophomore captain, placed the College in eighth place in the national division of the telegraphic meet, and tied us for the fourth place in the central division. Coinciding with the newly inaugurated ladder tennis tournament came the annual water carnival, Aloha, in which the Ter rapins demonstrated rhythm swimming, and diving formations, all woven into a narrative of Liliukalani, queen of Hawaii. Record-breaking audiences ac claimed it the loveliest pageant ever, while the Terrapin treasury eloquently proclaimed its financial success. Scribes Have New Stories Published Mundelein scribes during the past year have become most active in a new field of Catholic Action, that of con tributing to the Catholic Press. The Waifs' Messenger, published at the Mission of Our Lady of Mercy, has been the recipient of several short stories and sketches written by mem bers of the short story class, and other literarily inclined students. A variety of subjects have been handled by the rising young author esses, and future editions of the Waifs' Messenger will contain the following articles: The Road to Heaven by Mar garet Wenigman, Bulldog Versus Canary by Eileen Hettinger, Tulio by Mary Catherine Rose, My Alarm Clock and 1 by Helen Keenan, Jim by Sabina Slarzinski. Better Late Thau . . . and Mosquito Serenade by Elizabeth Fay. Summer Clepsydra Honors New Saint Sophomore Wins Tennis Tourney Charlotte Heun, sophomore tennis ace, added the championship of the College to her laurels when she finished on the topmost rung of the tennis tourney ladder. Roberta Christie placed second, ad vancing rapidly from thirteenth place to second as a result of a series of defaults late in the tourney. The sophomore class captured the tennis championship with 7 points: the freshmen had 2 and the sen iors 1. Dedicated to the newly canonized St, Thomas More, the summer edition of the Clepsydra will treat several aspects of the life and character of the great humanist. Among the leading articles are St. Thomas More the Saint, by Margaret Grace, Recent Moriana, a survey of re cent literature about him, by Virginia Woods, a short story written in diary form, supposedly by the martyr's sister- in-law, the work of Mary Catherine Rose, and a sonnet on Margaret Roper by Miss Woods. The book department i* especially noteworthy, according to the staff, and includes reviews of such recent pub lications as Bclloc's Milton, Abbe Dimnet's My Old World, Regnier's Abbey of Evolayne, and Helen C. White's new book, Not Built By- Hands. Visit Art Exhibit In Studios Today In that welcome hill between one ex amination and preparation for the next, gather your weary self together and as cend in the elevator to the eighth floor, where the soft cool breezes from the miles of blue lake to the cast of the College, are waiting to escort you into a paradise of calm, beautiful art. The Mundelein art department has prepared from all the classes an exhibition which started June 6 and will end on June 13. Unusual problems of the perspective- class have been converted into amazing designs, one of the most difficult being the hexagonal plinth. Tiled floors of all sizes and forms have been designed from the plinth. Equally baffling is the use the art students have made of the square pyramid. From tomb stones to Church spires, and even in modern commercial bottles, one finds an application of this figure. But then if you arc not mathematically inclined, you will gaze at the clever figure sketching done by Rosemary Walsh, Bar bara Schwalbert ,and Maurita Kelly. A costumed Mexican lady, a small blue- eyed boy. and a gentle-faced grey-haired lady are just a few of the paintings which will catch your eye. A quaint all-over pattern of wooden soldiers and humpty dumptys makes a fascinating piece of work by Ellen Birn- bauni. Interpretation of Music by Norine Golden, and colorful whirling wheels by Ann Lally are examples of modern de signs. Before you bid farewell to the Art Exhibit, be sure to gaze upon the handi work of Sue Adams, Anna Marie Mor rison, Lillian Scholzen, Jane Molloy, and Margaret McManus, who have rivaled the early Indians in their skill at weav ing.
