After a short program consisting of a parody on Romeo and Juliet sung by Ruth Mary Gorman and Ruth Wright, and a skit, Square Pegs, played by Jean O'Connor and Gertrude Rafferty, the members adjourned to the tearoom for refreshments. Beatrice Marshall and Rosamond Carney, alumna Terrapins, were among the guests present. By Gertrude Rafferty With the sophomores winning a vie-' tory over the seniors, who for three successive years have remained unde feated, and with the announcement of the All-Star basketball team, the most suc cessful interclass tournament in the his tory of Mundelien closed today. By defeating the juniors on March 6 with a score of 22-8, the sophomores en tered the finals against the seniors who, on March 7, defeated the freshmen 16- 10. In the opening quarter of the game be tween the sophomores and juniors, the sophomores took the lead with a basket by Mildred Parker, followed by two per fect shots by Leona Murphy and a free throw by Marion Webber. Marjorie Carroll scored the only bas ket for the juniors during the first quar ter, which ended: sophomores 7; juniors 2. With the opening of the second quar ter, Justine Martin and Leona Murphy scored for the juniors and sophomores respectively. Sophomore Stars Raise Score Baskets by M. Parker and Alice O'Brien made in quick succession raised the sophomore lead to 12-4 as the first half ended. Brilliant team work on the part of the sophomore star forwards, M. Parker, L. Murphy, and A. O'Brien, in creased the sophomore score to 22, while baskets by Loretta Brady and M. Carroll gave the juniors a final score of 8. Seniors and freshmen were so evenly matched in the game on March 7 that the lead reverted constantly from team to team until the fourth quarter. The lead, gained with a long shot by Joseph ine Carton, was quickly overcome with a basket by Irene Lavin. A basket by Mary McMahon again put the freshmen in the lead as the quar ter ended. When the whistle blew an nouncing the end of the first half, bas kets by I. Lavin and Marion Sifferman tied the seniors with scoring honors go ing to I.

This score remained stationary until the last few minutes of the second quar ter when an easy long shot by M. Web ber and two by L. Murphy gave the sophomores a lead of 9-4. The spirit demonstrated by the seven seniors who marched briskly down the gymnasium floor in caps and gowns, bearing letters spelling SENIORS YROTCIV, must have raised the morale of the class team for, with the opening of the second half, they began a furious driving attack. After a basket made by L. Murphy, J. Flick successfully scored two long shots. A free throw by I. Lavin tied the score 9-9.

Mr. Lane, of the Chicago Daily News, pointed out the possibility for vigorous Catholic Action through the publication of Catholic news in the metropolitan press, noting especially the successful campaign of the Legion of Decency as waged therein. As woman's editor of the Chicago Tribune, Miss McLaughlin reviewed the work of a series of successful women journalists, refuting the theory that wo men in journalism are usually sobsis- ters. Mr. Reticker, city editor of the Chi cago American, summarized the requisite talents and characteristics of a good re porter, and another Chicago writer, Mary Synon, discussed the technique of the short story. A scholarly discussion of Creative Writing in the College Magazine was contributed by Morton D. Zabel of Loy ola, together with the outline of a plan whereby such writing may be stimula ted. An interesting survey of the contents of most Catholic school papers, based on a systematic research project, was prej sented by Sister Gabriellc, O.S.B., of St. Scholastica's academy. Concluding the program, Mr. Frank L. Vander Heiden of the Loyola university press, talked on typography and make-up. The Reverend Denis Burns, S.J., of Loyola, chairman of the afternoon ses sion, adjourned the meeting with an in vitation to all the delegates to return to Loyola for another CS.P.A. conference next year. Despite the fact that wc are at present the center of a tug-of-war, eternal home work and required readings pulling on one side and a combination of spring fever and the enticing jackets of best sellers ranged on the other, the unfeel ing bulletin board across the publications room quietly screams that the deadline is at 3 o'clock. Glancing at the clock, we see it is now 2:52, central standard time. We sigh, (get ready) we write. Mundelein freshman appear to attend all Loyola functions as a class. Among those at the Union dance on Feb. 22 were Maxixe Lindsay, Dorothy Kullman, Mary Dillon, Betty McCormick, Nancy Butler, Edith Coyne, and Mary Jane Griffin. (If any of you are upper-classmen, we're sorry; we're try ing to listen to the Press club treasurer's theory that paying dues is a privilege.) Ruth Tangney and Jane Spalding attended the Army-Navy ball at the Lake Shore Athletic club on Feb. 22. Getting information on the munitions question that they are debating, we suppose. Kathryn Pitman, of Philomena hall, attended Marquette's prom on Feb. 22. Rose Marie Barrett and Margaret Morax of the hall were away during the same week-end, Rose Marie visiting friends at the University of Illinois and Margaret spending a short vacation at her home in Indianapolis. Mary Jane Nielson, Frances Woods, and Mercedes McCambridge, undaunt ed by the measle epidemic there, went to South Bend for Notre Dame's prom on March 1. Did we hear someone say that the modern girl hasn't courage? Jean McKeever somehow seems to attend all the newest plays. The latest, she tells us, was Ode To Liberty, with Ina Claire. Caroline Holland, another drama enthusiast, saw the D'Ogley Carte company in one of their Gilbert and Sul livan operettas. Mary Agnes Tynan and Ruth Taxcxey, supporters of any and all Young People's clubs, were among the Mundelein girls at the dance held at the F.dgewater Beach by St. Ita's organiza tion. Ruth and Catherine Heerey saw The Cradle Song when the St. Thomas Aquinas club produced it re cently. At the Reveler's dance at the Midland club, on Feb. 23, were Sue Apams, Margaret Mary Nolan, and Marian Mulligan. And now, as the fair editor is busily engaged with a typewriter, we shall quietly slip two scribbled yellow sheets on her desk, and like the Arabs, fold up our tent (a moth-eaten raccoon) and si lently steal away . Lack of Fog In London Surprises Mundelein Girl (Cont'd from page 3, col. 2) Englishmen about it. However, I love London and would be perfectly happy if all my friends in Chicago could live there, too. Sensing our objection to this whole sale transport across the sea, we heard as, like Alice in Wonderland, we w'alked through the stained-glass window which is the door to her room in the residence hall, And there were only two fogs in the whole year that I was in London Shane Leslie Tells Story Of Acquaintances, Travels (Continued from page 3, col. 4) the College was to be guest critic at a rehearsal of Mary Agnes Tynan's drama tic monologue, based on the life of Mrs. Fitzherbert. The play was inspired by Mr. Leslie's lecture on the wife of George IV last spring. Mr. Leslie is the cousin of Winston Churchill and a grandson of the adopted daughter of Mrs. Fitzherbert.
