Here's a list of those lucky people who got lumps of high- grade coal in their Christmas stockings. Susan McCall (When asked where her diamond was the other day, Sue came up with what your Auntie calls a pretty flimsy ex planation. She said it was at the jeweler's being made smaller. Don't believe a word of it. The fella got smart and took it back ) Frances Roque Marilyn Petrie Jo Ann Drossart Barbara Treutschuler Carlotta Serritella Fran Triplett Adrienne Spohn (Father Clark wants her to give the seniors a series of lectures on how she chased her fiance until he caught her.) (Your Auntie knows you were engaged last August, Marge, but the grapevine isn't what is used to be ) According to Sister Mary Cecilia, the three best-fed animals in the world are: the milkman's cat, the butcher's dog and the convent chaplain . . . One of the more astute language students reports that for anyone who is interested, WJJD can be tuned in from any front-row booth in the language lab. It doesn't even matter what channel you're listening to. Just turn the microphone volume all the way up and the lesson output all the way down. Then hold your hand over the microphone. Presto You're listening to the primitive beat of music from WJJD Needless to say, the student refused to give her name. Here are some definitions Webster should have thought of but didn't: Atheist A man who ends his life all dressed up with no place to go. Committee A group of the unwary trapped by the unwilling to do the unnecessary. Executive A man who comes to work in the morning, finds a molehill and succeeds in making a mountain out of it by the end of the day. Middle West A part of the United States where there are two seasons, winter and August. Sheila Ganley brought an error in next semester's schedule to Auntie's attention recently. Someone in the home economics department has mistakenly listed the usual course in homemaking as homewrecking . . . Loyola University's newest pamphlet describes our neighboring institution as being situated on the breeze-swept shores of frolicsome Lake Michigan. ... If you think that old soldiers just fade away, be sure to see Jane Ellen Newman . . . Here's a poem to get you in the mood for Jack's inauguration. It's called the Democratic 23rd Psalm. Jack is my shepherd He would lead me beside the government-controlled factories He hath restored my doubts in the Democratic party He would guide me thru paths of unemployment for his party's sake Yes, though I walk thru the Merchandise Mart, I'm still poor I do fear a war, for thou art for it Thou woulds't annoint my income tax so that my expenses run over my income Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me and all the Democratic party, and I shall live in F.H.A. houses forever. Final Benefit results from the recent campaign reveal 65 per cent as the to tal school participation, the highest amount recorded in the past six drives. A total profit of 2,520 and the an nouncement of Joan McCabe, junior, as the scholarship winner were also designated in the final data. Heading the list in class participa tion were the seniors with 78 per cent cooperation, an average only one and four tenths per cent less than the 1956 all-time high. The juniors with 63 per cent took second place and the sophomores came in third with 59 per cent participation. The freshman class followed closely with a total of 58 per cent. Although the total profit was not as large as in other years, the amount of class participation showed a com parative increase, especially in the ac tivity of the lower classmen. Selling a total of 445.50 in patrons and ads, Joan McCabe w-as awarded the 285 scholarship. Runner-up in the contest was Julianne Benedict, junior, with 418 to her credit.
