May 18,1960 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Seven CADIV r I A r r rr anc' 'nc'ement weather are no problem for Ginny CAKLI ILA j jt J Harrow, Jo Ann Drossart and Judy Griffin who can be found gaily preparing breakfast in their car by unsuspecting pedestrians as the girls make their way to their early morning classes. Moving Wreck Startles Outer Drive Motorists Heads turn, eyes pop, and brakes screech as three freshmen enact their daily breakfast ritual en route to Mundelein via their 1949 black Dodge Wayfair. COMBINATION RESTAURANT and school bus, the 11-year-old sedan, provides transportation as well as a laugh a minute for Judy Griffin, owner, Jo Ann Drossart and Ginny Harrow. Supplying the hot water and fresh biscuits, the girls proceed to the pan try, disguised as a glove compartment, each morning for their usual coffee break. Although the routine seems simple enough, it is soon compli cated by the Wayfair's torsion level ride, Outer drive traffic and the gazes of curious onlookers. The perfect home away from home, the Wayfair highlights a domestic touch through the addition of a kitchen chair in place of a slight vacancy in the rear of the car namely, the omission of a back seat. EMPHASIZING THIS CASUAL ATMOSPHERE, the Wayside's verita ble treasure of necessities includes an oil can, one tee shirt, stale cracker- jack, crushed potato chips, and a pair of unclaimed shoes. Providing the perfect accent for this homey decor are the blue taffeta curtains which drape the back window and border the skull hanging in the middle. Although Jo Ann insists the car looks as if it stepped out of an old George Raft gangster movie, she says the mood is broken by the festive centerpiece composed of a small felt Lights, Shelves Brighten Library While the students play, (well, may be a few of us) the library will be taking the pain out of painful study ing. How will this miracle be ac complished? By the transformation of the library's periodical room New lighting and colorful periodical shelves will renovate the room for the fall term, according to Sister Mary Clara, librarian. Steel periodical shelves in canyon coral, sandal wood and mint green will provide capacity for 360 magazines. Christmas wreath suspended from the ceiling of the car. Up-to-date in its every detail, the Wayfair also sports original wallpaper consisting of famous droodles composed by talented Mundle-Bundles. Faculty Enjoy Europe, Books Sister Mary Pierre, head of the Home Economics Department, will be traveling to Europe this summer from June 8 to Aug. 6 on the Queen Eliza beth. Sister's itinerary will include visits to Paris, where a showing of the famed fashion designer, Christian Dior's collection will be highlighted. Rome, Germany, Lourdes, Fatima, Dublin, and London are a few of the other places Sister is visiting. While in Germany, she will attend the per formance of the Passion Play at Oberammergau. ANOTHER EUROPE-BOUND FACULTY MEMBER is Sister Mary Harrita, who is embarking July 16 on a tour, the gift of a recent graduate. Portugal, Spain, Monaco and Germany will highlight Sister's trip. While seeing the European sights, both travelers hope to run across Mundelein's four faculty-members- turned-student for the summer Sisters Mary Ignatia, Marina and Martinette scholarshipping at the Uni versity of London and Fulbright scholar Sister Mary Elsa at the Sor- bonne in Paris. Most traveled of them all will be Father William Clark, theology in structor. Accompanied by Father Thomas Boyle, he will conduct a pil grimage of 26 Mundelein alumnae to Lourdes, Rome, Oberammergau and stop at Paris, Ireland and England along the way. Most of his traveling companions will be graduates of the classes of 1958 and 1959. Sk udcrapinad Just in case you might forget, Sister Mary Donald, Dean of Stud ies, announces that classes will re- mme Sept. 19. Registration for the new academic year is scheduled for Sept. 12-16. Well, dears, it's all over now but the shouting, and your Auntie wants to extend her congratulations and best wishes to all of our new officers. Elections always make her think back to the good old days of her youth when she was a rip-snortin', back-slappin', chin-chuckin', baby-kissin' campaigner. In those times there were more candidates than there were voters. In one election there were even 15 running for the office of captain of the Mrs. Jones Brigade . . . Note to Miss B. Hartke: Lovey, Auntie's name is spelled Pumpinella, not PUMPERNICKLE ... On behalf of the whole student body Auntie would like to tell Marion Bakula ashe was sorry to hear of her pet snake Alfred's death. He made many friends during his short stay here . . . For all those interested, Sister Mary Agnesita now has office hours in the ninth floor reading room until midnight . . . After puttering around in her garden yesterday, Auntie wrote a poem about it: Spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the flowers is. Charming don't you think ? . . . Deanna Lewin went to the Junior Prom at N.D. expecting to see a huge artificial beach built at one end of the dance floor. The men had advertised a beach with 15 tons of sand. Operations must have been slowed down a bit. Dee said the only trace of sand was a gritty sub stance that crunched under her feet as she danced . . . The Junior Prom here at Mundelein was wonderful too Kay Griffin's pre-prom party had together ness at its theme. Everybody and his brother was there. Togetherness HAD to be the theme Kathy O'Brien, Pat Sullivan, Mclinda Kretz, Sheila Callan and Mary Fran McGuire have officially deserted the forlorn ranks of those who must face summer vacation sans diamond ring. Those sparklers, both on the fingers and in the eyes, prove that five more have bitten the dust . . . Auntie had the most wonderful time at the Loyola Fair. It was just like the good old days, especially the pie eating contest. The fraternity men conducting the affair felt the urge to pelt the winner with a few custards. Well, he ducked and four innocent onlookers fielded them. Who says women aren't good catchers? Max Sennett couldn't have done a better job . . . The Juniors and Seniors thought the box lunches their little sisters fixed for them were simply scrump tious. They were soooo good that some of them were tempted to eat the boxes too . . . Land sakes the Smoker just isn't itself since they put that new fangled air filter in it. That fresh air is ruining your Auntie's generally poor health ... Oh JOY Only one week left but it's going to be a real dilly. Then we can all take a summer job and get a little rest, eh ? Auntie's simply thrilled about the Senior Ball. She's going to be escorted by her very favorite gentleman caller. He's tall and handsome and has a chauffeur driven Cadillac vintage 1910. She's really excited. She bought the first ticket that was put on sale OH FOR A NIGHT IN THE BALLROOM ... See you there dears . . . Auntie wants to wish all the sweet girl graduates every success out in that mad wild wonderful world next year, and she'll be loooking forward to seeing the rest of her rabid readers next fall . . . During the summer she's going to make it a point to have her pen fixed so that the words will flow from it at a faster rate. As you know, it broke down completely on her last issue. Maybe she ought to give up that quill and switch to a ballpoint Campus Cut Ups Mundeleinites Defend Feminine Equality By Joan An unusual experiment was per- fomed at Mundelein this past year when two Loyola men bravely tested the sociability of Mundelein girls. Sit ting in the Lounge for two hours, they discovered not one girl friendly enough to say hello or to offer them help. DON'T BE SHOCKED Five weeks ago the same experiment was per formed at the Loyola Union by yours truly. Alone in that wide open world for 45 minutes, the results were found to be the same. Are these seemingly unwelcome signs offered to one another by Loy olans and Mundeleinites merely the outcome of the individual's let-him- speak-first attitude? Or is it the ra tionalizing Oh I don't have time to bother excuse? Let's see how Mundelein women rate their own sociability. The majority of the 30 questioned agreed with Loyola's statement of last month that women are more anxious to please. Men don't give a darn exclaimed one. While one student insisted that men don't have social confidence, but social apathy, instructor Mr. Louis Schwartz volunteered an opposite opinion saying man has been urged to be congenial. In business he can't be a renegade, but must conform. DOES SOCIABILITY REST on friendliness? To Webster, it does. But what norm do students use peaceful acceptance? In response to the question Why don't girls smile or say hello to a Loyola man, when going across the Loyola cam pus? the majority said if they did he might have the idea that she is trying to get him. Other comments I'm afraid of be ing ridiculed and they ignore you explain why the Loyola campus is like a refrigerator as expressed by one priest. Girls are not phony exclaimed all but two Mundeleinites. Men don't care who they hurt; they are more brash, added one. Another consoled, a girl may laugh viva ciously at her fellow's jokes and may even be flirtatious, but she's not phony. Although Mr. Schwartz, when ques tioned about emotional reactions, stated all should be compassionate and Sheridan in a crisis a man would be weak or childish not to express his emotions, Mundelein's comments I'd die of em barrassment if I saw a man cry and he's supposed to be able to take things show the sharp distinction made between the emotions of the two. A FELLOW-STUDENT ADDED, look at Jack Parr. He cries on T.V. and everyone hates him. I love him Passively, the majority agreed with the Loyolan's statement that although fewer men are religious, these few have a greater recognition of their religion. Intellectually, it was agreed that the man is superior But should a woman assume a level of achievement below her husband? Heavens no Stating to a young I.I.T. senior that she was tired of school work and as signments, one girl repeated the age- old idea that education is not needed for marriage, for she can still read the newspapers and take care of the family. He answered: Well, in that case, why didn't you quit school after the sixth grade. By that time you could read, write and talk IN ANY CASE, SUPERIORITY whether social, emotional, spiritual oi intellectual depends on the indi vidual, agree L and M's. One thought for the coming vaca tion: The popular man or woman on campus is one who forgets his com plaints, offers his help, and uplifts you with a heartfelt smile. Smile, Miss Mundelein, and the world smiles wiith you. HAPPY SUMMER QFAWFFn A M Y 0 M F 1 inquire Celine Matsumato, Ernestine Jantuah J L M VV L t U MliIUIiL. and Pennamma Tharayil.
