ATHLETES PRESERVE YOUTH IN GYMNASIUM Blithe spirits who would remain grace ful and have much fun between times have been gathering in the gymnasium for dancing club and for apparatus and tum bling classes. The beginner's class of tumblers meets on Friday, at 12:10, and the advanced group gathers on Monday at the same hour. On Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2 o'clock, the apparatus group practices stunts on the bars and on the horse and rings. The dancers work on free rhythms and original dances on Thursdays at 3. Gay-Jacketed Volumes Brighten Library Stacks (Continued from page 1, col. 2) Looking up at the science display from our most unscientific viewpoint, we were consoled to find something which even we could understand in Science Today, edited by Watson Davis, which proves itself to be a layman's handbook of recent discovery by eminent men of science. If you think you know your Chicago after entertaining a deluge of summer fair visitors, we challenge you to pick up Chicago Welcomes You, the informa tive little book by Alfred, Granger, and we are willing to wager that it contains a multitude of things about our city that you have not learned. In the fiction section you can become acquainted with Booth Tarkington's pop ular novel, Presenting Lily Mars, and then stroll over and look at Margaret Ayer Barnes' latest opus entitled, Within This Present. As a special Book-Week feature, five seniors who are majoring in library- science have written short reviews of five other new books which may be se cured in the College library. These will be published in our next issue. ALUMNAE ESTABLISH HOMECOMING SUNDAY (Continued from page 1, col. 1) From the class of '33 were: Alice Alexander, Doris Barnett, Dorothy Hig gins, Gretchen Kretschmer, Jane Lawler, Alice Lyon, Julie Matenaers, Genevieve McClevey, Margaret Mary O'Neil, Rhea Moustakis, Margaret Nolan, Margaret Mulqueen, Patricia Peterson, Mary Ramker, Lucy Ryan, Dolores Savage, Helen Smith, Marie Sweeney, and Mary Toohey.

Name Class TERRAPINS HOLD REVEL IN BRIDGE-SPLASH TEA Tropical palms fringed the sides of the pool, twinkling candlelights gleamed on the bridge tables scattered about it, and bright red and green decorations lent a festive aspect to the swimming pool room on Nov. 20, when the Terrapins held their first Bridge-Splash party. The bridge tables were set well back from the pool, on the spectator's gallery, and, while the players contested for prizes there, Pauline Duzeski directed the swimming games. Jeanne O'Connor was hostess, assisted by Mae Sexton, Catherine Vendley, Eliz abeth Gorman, Catherine Lindley, and Ruth Wright. Clementina Paloney and Eleanor Hop kins were co-chairmen of the refresh ment committee; Catherine Lindley was chairman of the ticket committee, and Irene Lavin was in charge of the decora tions. Each was assisted by a corps of Terrapins. Prizes were donated by Miss Magnu son, Miss Scanlan, Rosamond Carney, Grace Allen, Catherine Lindley, Ruth Tangney, Elizabeth Gorman, Mary Agnes Tynan, Jeanne O'Connor, and Pauline Duzeski. Seniors Investigate Foods Wise food selection is of primary im portance in a well-organized home or institution, according to the senior mem bers of the home economics department. These students are preparing a series of demonstrations in connection with their dietetics laboratory work, stressing the professional side of the problem. In order that all may benefit by the special study of each member of the class, the demonstrations are scheduled for different periods. Hospital Standard Diets will be dis cussed by Katherine Flood on Nov. 21. Adelaide Brost will give a Study in Diabetes Mellitus on Nov. 24, and Diet in Cardiac Conditions will be studied by Bernice Ratigan on Nov. 28. In the past few years, the caloric value of various foods has been regarded as of primary importance, but recently, the home economists declare, the mineral vi- taminic content is considered of greater value. Students Hear Plea For World Peace at Notre Dame Meejing Conditions in Europe and relations of the United States with European powers were discussed by a distinguished group of Catholic scholars and educators at the Catholic Conference on International Peace, at the University of Notre Dame on Nov. 19. The Reverend J. W. Maguire, C.S.V., president of St. Viator's College, Bour- bonnais, in his discussion of the New World Position of the United States, declared that this country needs a little national humility. Our attitude toward foreign nations, he feels, is a little too superior. See Need For Adjustment The Reverend R. A. McGowan, con sidering Europe and its Problems and Efforts for Peace, sees a need for a com plete readjustment of European affairs, since, he declared, Europe is a declining continent, which has lost much of her strength in the rise of economic inde pendence among those of her colonies which have not gained complete freedom. The Reverend Frederic Siedenburg, S.J., discussed Disarmament; Dr. Francis E. McMahon talked on Nationalism; Dr. Robert C. Pollock talked on The Cath olic's Responsibility Today; Charles B. O'Donnell talked on Peace Treaties; and the Reverend Francis A. Mullin dis cussed the Peace Policies of the United States. Professor J. R. O'SulIivan, dean of the School of Journalism of Marquette Un iversity, talked on the Pax Romana, and the University journalists' unit in it. Recommend Sensible Peace All of the speakers urged World Peace, not a fanatical pacifism, but a sensible, charitable peace in which the nations of the world unite in a continuous effort to live harmoniously together. Among the Mundelein students who attended were: Emily Barron, Julia Hagerty, Annamae Shinnick, Katherine Brennan, Agnes Gill, Marion Fitzgerald, Dorothy O'Donnell, Lucille Barrett, Mar garet Wenigman, Florence O'Callahan, Mary Ann Kirchten, Genevieve Del Beccaro, Mary Herlikey, and Mary Houlihan. QUINN O'BRIEN REVIEWS EUROPE SINCE THE WAR Mr. Quinn O'Brien, special corpora tion council and one of the most cele brated orators in Chicago, discussed the social, economic, and religious conditions in Europe since the war, before an aud ience of the Faculty, and members and guests of the International Relations club. -TUrO I2 gt;. He admits that Europe is in a terrific turmoil as a result of the Treaty of Versailles, but, on the whole, he sees promise of better things even from this chaos. Lauds European Catholics A challenge to twentieth century Cath olics sounded forth in Mr. O'Brien's citation of the place the Church officials played in the World War. It was Cardinal Mercier, he declared, who turned the tide of War from Bel gium; it was the present Pope who picked Mussolini from the surging So cialist party, and won him to the Faith he should have had. After the war, according to Mr. O'Brien, France recalled 30,000 banished priests and sisters, and placed a Catholic premiere in the chair. The Catholic party in Holland, he pointed out, took power by the largest vote in modern history, and put a Cath olic hour on the air before we even thought of such a thing. Poland has restored Catholicism and elected a Catholic president and a Cath olic premiere, and as a result of the recognition of the Vatican City by the Italian State, the Holy Father is today exerting world-wide influence for good. Challenges American Catholics America, Mr. O'Brien sees, is lagging behind, and he sent a ringing challenge to Catholic College students. Mr. O'Brien expressed approval of the recognition of Russia, since the terms of recognition are purely for trade pur poses, and he spoke encouragingly of the relations existing between the United States and Japan. Following the lecture, Mr. O'Brien was a guest at a club tea in the dining room on first floor. Emilie Barron, pres ident, was general chairman, assisted by Bernadette Culkin, Agnes Gill, Mary Rita Murphy, and Dorothy O'Donnell. HISTORY GROUPS BRING STREETS OF OLD CAIRO TO CLASSROOM IN EGYPTIAN PROGRAM From the efficient tile corridor of a modern skyscraper college to the fan tastic and colorful locale of an Egyptian street carnival is a matter of a mere two or three steps for the casual visitor who attends the Streets of Cairo pro gram today. Members of the history of civilization classes will bring their guests to the square outside the famous old museum of Cairo, and there display some of the curios of that ancient mystery land. Catherine LeBaron will read a paper on the museum, describing several of the strangest exhibits including the sarco phagus of the famous Tut Ankhamen. Bernice Walters will display a model of the sarcophagus which she has construct ed, together with a replica of the noted mummy of King Tut. Quite appropriately, the next paper, read by Helen Sheehan, concerns the art of embalming. In true barker fash ion, Mary Frances Malone from time to time will call attention to the different exhibits, lending an authentic bit of at mosphere to the carnival. According to Evelyn O'Brien and Annclisc Munch, the ancients were much concerned with the time and the hour. Papers on the Egyptian Calendar and the Oldest Clock in the World, will be read by Miss O'Brien and Miss Munch. Sara Fogarty will give an interesting account of the Rosetta stone, regarded by archeologists as a discovery of major importance, and Katherine McCarthy will describe the Great Hall of Karnak, and mentioning its singular treasures. Strange in its ritual and often wise in its advice, the Book of the Dead is the subject of a paper by Veronica Crowe, O- Charlottc Heun as Caesar, Jane Spalding as Cleopatra, and Rosemary McVey and Jean McKeever as dancers. while Rita Johnston will speak about the Feudal Age in Egypt. Following this trend, Mary Geiger will describe a house and garden of an Egyp- tion noble during the Pyramid Age; Henrika Manka will give an interesting account of the lotus flower of the Nile. Colorfully garbed, and enhancing the carnival spirit, Jean McKeever, Rose mary McVey, Irene Menarek, and Eileen Stigall portray the rhytmic and myystic beauty of an Egyptian dance, and Marion Ncally will read a theme on Cleopatra by Charlotte Huen. However, the highlight of the after noon will occur when Charlotte Huen and Jane Spalding present a skit, picturing the greatest general and the most glam ourous lady of history, Caesar and Cleopatra. SKYSCRAPINGS Mundelein College was well repre sented at Loyola's Annual Fall Frolic, held recently at the Midland Club. Wandering about among the tables we noticed Gertrude Scanlan, Jane Molloy, Virginia Meagher, Lenore Manning, Margaret Wenigman, Virginia Woods, Mae Murphy, Betty Neil, and Sylva Aronian. A quartet of our collegians have gone international Bernadette Manning, Vir ginia Roboke, Marie Smith, and Sabina Slarzynska recently gave a Russian din ner party, and just the other night they had an Italian supper at Miss Manning's home. Ruth Tangney was surprised, curiously enough, by a surprise party given in her honor last Sunday evening. The joyous occasion was the celebration of her birth day. Caroline Holland, a sophomore, spent last week-end at Clay City, Indiana. Three cheers for the orange and blue Dorothy Hanley spent the week-end at the University of Illinois, where she at tended one of the fraternity dances. Just as we were settled in our seats, a few nights ago at a performance of Noel Coward's Bittersweet, we discov ered Georgia Learned, one of Mundelein's new juniors, sitting a few seats away. During an intermission, we learned that it was Miss Learned's birthday, and this was the finale of her day of celebration. While we are on the subject of birth days, we would like to tell you about Harriet Steigelman's. Hers was a sur prise party, and the secret was so care fully guarded that Harriet almost missed the festivities. Marguerite Kullman, Mary Bergin, Adelaide Brost, Emily Barron, Julia Hag- gerty, Mae Frawley, and Frances Rock- elman, who attended Mundelein last year, were there to celebrate it. Clementina Paloney, Mary Lyon, Mar garet McKeon, Mary Frances Lang, and Alice Lyon, a Mundelein alumnae, are taking part in a musical comedy entitled ivew Deal, which is being given by St. Agatha's Dramatic club this evening. If moral support means anything, there was a host of Mundelein girls in the stands at the recent grid contest between Notre Dame and Northwestern. Among the excited fans we located Gertrude Bermingham, Agnes Halley, Rose Fau- cett, Marion Tully, Irrimore Trant, and Norine Golden. EASTERN PRELATE FINDS MUNDELEIN EQUIPMENT IDEAL (Continued from page 1, col. 1) The archbishop spoke with precision and the slightest eastern accent. What, at the college, I next asked, most impressed your Grace?'' He paused for a moment and then an swered with animation. It was the cul inary (home economics) department. I knew that the academic side of the girls' education was well developed, but I was delighted to see the practical side being taken care of. I believe that when a girl goes through high school and college she should know something about I won't say 'housekeeping,' but home-making. That's quite an asset nowadays His Grace was that delightful sort of a conversationalist that makes a reporter want to write a limitless interview. How ever, all good things end; archbishops are busy persons, and there is the matter of classes But perhaps His Grace had some mes sage for Mundelein College? You may tell your Sisters, the arch bishop concluded, as he courteously ac companied me to the door, that they have a wonderful college, and deserve every blessing on their undertaking.
