Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER December 9,1959 DIRECTOR JOHN FORD pauses during activities of the Conference on Motion Picture Education to talk with .Mary Troupe, Mary Pat Carr and Mrs. Mary Scott of the Adult Education Center. During the two-day session, The Church and the .Motion Picture, held at Munde lein recently, Ford spoke on The Art of Film Directing shortly after the showing of one of his films, The Informer. Changes in Program Explained by Dean In order to encourage greater par ticipation in the spirit of the Advent and Christmas season, three new en terprises have been planned for the faculty and student body this year. THE FIRST entails the planning and completing of individual class projects which will emphasize giving rather than receiving of gifts by the students. Many of the students will partici pate on Ember Wednesday, Dec. 16, at 12 p.m., in a High Mass to be held in Stella Maris Chapel. This Mass, called the Golden Mass in honor of our Lady, is al ready being prepared for by stu- Ghost of Past VisitsMundelein Dickens' Ghost of Christmas Past has kindly volunteered to conduct a tour of bygone Christmases at Munde lein. THE FIRST POINT of interest is Christmas, 1931, when on Dec. 18 the Glee club began a tradition with its first cantata, Silver Tidings of the Star. Cardinal Mundelein presented his college with his portrait Christmas Eve, 1932, when the Glee club sang carols in front of his residence. In 1934, his Christmas present was a let ter written by George Washington. The Christmas season of 1936 found the Verse Speaking Choir broadcasting over WMAQ and the Glee club singing accompaniment to a dramatization given by Lae tare Players over WCFL. Now we come to the college's first Skyscraper Ball held at the Drake ho tel in 1937 and sponsored jointly by the Alumnae and SAC. Pierson Thall and his Orchestra and the Rhythm Rangers offered continuous music from 10 until 2, with dinner served at midnight. In 1945, the Ball was hold on two consecutive nights at the Lake Shore Club. THE SODALITY project for Yule- tide of 1943 was making rosaries of cord to send to servicemen. But the holiday season of 1959 was really oops You aren't supposed to know that until three weeks from now Happy Holidays What's the Answer? An original experiment designed and executed by members of Physics 32 Heat resulted from a question asked by a students in Physics I: Why does hot water freeze more rapidly than cold water? Results will be given Thursday, Dec. 10, 4 p.m., Room 608. dent groups who are learning hymns and responses in order that they may participate in the Mass to a greater degree. Also, to aid students who have in the past found it hard to attend can- delighting, the program this year will begin at 3:15 in the afternoon. New fire regulations make it neces sary to discontinue the lighting of the large cross on the front of the build ing and the large Christmas tree in the first floor corridor. Though many will miss this colorful tradition, Sister Mary Assisium, Dean of Women, believes that they will realize that with the many new sky scrapers that have sprung up along the drive the cross has lost much of its effectiveness. At a meeting of the counselors Benefit Tickets Relieve Christmas Buyer' Job ' Give benefit tickets for Christmas will be the general pre-holiday theme to encourage sale of tickets for the Fred Waring program to be held Feb. 13 at the Opera House. PRICED FROM 2.50 TO 4, the tickets wil be available in the lounge on Dec. 11 under the supervision of Rosemary Schneider, chairman. Other benefit chairmen have also been appointed. Handling promotion will be Parreannie Wilson and Mary Fran Hoffman. Sharon Ruppert and Anne Miller, juniors, will serve as publicity chairmen. IN ADDITION, four other students will aid in the behind the scenes ac tivities. They are: Mary Dankowski, mailing, Helen Berg, patrons, Lucy Jautz, program and Madeline Lowry, ads. Second Award Given To Senior Math Major Ten days after being awarded a teaching fellowship at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, senior math major, Dorothy Thomas received news of another assistantship opened to her at the University of Minnesota. Dorothy, who plans to accept the opening at the University of Michigan will spend four hours a week teach ing elementary math courses while taking eight hours of graduate work. with Sister Mary Assisium last June, a discussion regarding the revamping of the candlelighting program was held. The final de cision on the change was made at the last Counselors' meeting. On the question of not holding Christmas parties, the faculty and SAC feel that the release from the pressure and tension of planning so many activities before Christmas will give the students a better chance to prepare themselves wholeheartedly for the coming of Christ. All in a Day's Work Two Patrolmen Discover Amusement and Bemusement Si u3crapina4 . . . angels to guide you refers not to two, but four angels which guard Mundelein. Uriel and Jophiel, with eyes of marble, guard the front en trance. Officers Dick Baum and Don Stanton, with eyes of blue, guard the sisters and students who race time and traffic across Sheridan Road. MY MAIN AMBITION is to mem orize all the sisters' names, grins tall, slender Dick Baum. The handsome 30- year-old patrolman, who has been on the Desplaines, Park District, and Chicago Police forces during his nine years of service, says he has a joke for every sister. Smoothing his dark, wavy hair, Dick related that he had attended Harrison High School where he played football and basketball. After graduation, he entered the Air Force for three years and then began guarding his country in a different way as a policeman. My chief amusement from the girls is the assortment of clothes they wear to school, commented officer Baum, especially the long black stockings. Momentarily becoming serious, he revealed that he likes his job very much and is content in what he's do ing. THE BENEFITS of this job are the numerous smiles I receive from the girls, Dick concluded, his face once again wreathed in smiles. Don Stanton feels especially close to Mundelein. One of his sisters is a recent graduate and another is a B.V.M. I went to St. George High HO HO HO AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, dears I want you all to know that your Auntie has a new profile. Had her face lifted? Land sakes, no She went downtown the day after Thanks giving and got trampled at the corner of State and Madison ... Do you know why Santa Claus doesn't come on the Fourth of July? Well, it's because he believes in scattering good stuff out. There isn't any point in giving people a good time when they're already having a good time going to the picnic. He waits until the dead of winter when it's too cold for a picnic . . . My, but we were all excited Friday night when the police pulled a raid on the Cotillion We thought it was going to be just like the old days. But they were just trying to settle a slight dispute over a parking place. What a bunch of rookies They didn't even have us reach for the sky or line up against the wall . . . My five year-old godchild wants to know why Santa's agent doesn't arrange his book ings so that he doesn't have to make all his personal TV appearances around the same time of the year. She thinks it's too tiring for such an old man . . . Anybody know where I can pick up a Classic Comic on the Darwinian theory? Auntie was overjoyed when her nieces: Jean Caliguari, Nancy Scanlon, Mary Ann Brice, Dorothy Kause and Rita Reed came back from the Thanksgiving holidays wearing bright sparklers on their little fingers.
