Emma, Father continued, has well earned that reward. Not on the stage at Mundelein will she receive it, but in heaven's clouds, from her Blessed M ther. Her examinations are finished, Father concluded, though her class mates have many more to face. And when the Great Teacher welcomes her home, across her name in the book of life will be written, Summa Cum Laude.

Turtle Derby Rivals Classic Blue'Qrass Race Celebrated Hard-Shell Thoroughbreds Compete They're at the post . . . waiting for Turtle Jones tb pull his head and feet out of his shell Now they're off to a slow start will be the words of Jean Hirsch and Sybil Lillie, chairmen of a Turtle derby to be held in the gym nasium, Dec. 4 at 3 p.m. Hoping their derby will rival the Kentucky derby in Chicago circles, the chairmen urge all students to get their turtles in the race. The Biology de partment of Loyola university has con sented to secure turtles. On the board just next to the turtle display in the lounge, students may sign to buy a racer. Certain racing regulations must be fulfilled. When a student signs for a. turtle, she must sign her name next to a given number, and that number must be placed on her turtle's back for the race. After securing a turtle, the student must pay a 25 cent entrance fee. Club entries will have a 50 cent entrance fee. These fees will be given to the Red Cross operating fund by the SAC, which sponsors the event. No betting is allowed, and any hopped-up turtle is scratched, of course. Students of Loyola university are invited to attend, and may enter indi vidual or fraternity turtles if they de sire. As a final word, the chairmen say, Don't be squeamish. Buy a turtle and put him in training for the big race. Faculty Member Describes Home Economics Needs Sister Mary Pierre, B.V.M., chairman of the Home Economics department, rep resented the College, Nov. 17, at a meeting of the Committee on Home Economics Curriculum, at the Congress hotel. Sister spoke on Trends in Home Eco nomics Education, stressing the need for establishment of an association in which home economists may work to secure aid and inspiration in common problems. Discussion concerned the proper educa tion of the home economist and home maker. The meeting may serve as the nucleus of a movement to establish a graduate program for teachers of home economics. This program would include persons interested in the topic as a means of strengthening Christian family life.
