March 21, 1962 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three Student Teachers Tell: Everything's Going Well Teach, observe and study has been the credo of Mundelein's stu dent teachers since Feb. 13 and will continue to be until May 25 as some 75 girls and 68 Sisters seek to ful fill their required hours in teaching. The high school teachers remain at their respective schools from second to fourth period, teaching one period, observing another and performing various other tasks such as proctering tests during the last period. High Hopes Reign After student teaching all morn ing, I return to Mundelein at noon and attend classes until 5, sighed Mary Margaret Grady, mathemat ics teacher at Sullivan High School. Other high school math teachers include: Virginia Lardner, Roose velt; Margaret Neuzil, Mather; Dorothy Zadrozny, Sullivan; Pam ela Beckman and Diane Szczepanik, Amundsen. English teachers are: Joyce Pie- fer and Mary Leslie Smith, Roo sevelt; Rosemary Buhrfiend, Taft; Joann M. Woods and Lynn Ryan, Sullivan ; Carolyn Augustin, Amundsen; Patricia Ryan, Waller. Frights Cease I remember when I first started student teaching, laughs Sheila Rooney, home management teacher at Mather High School, it all seemed so new and a little fright ening. Now I really feel like a part of it and it's wonderful. The senior class boasts two other home economics student teachers, Beverly Simons, Taft, and Patricia Pape, Immaculata. High school art teachers include: Bonnie Pion- tek, Taft; Jean Moore, Mather; Marcia Blackwell, Senn; Lauretta Doetsch, Sullivan; Lois Schwartz, Waller. Of the 24 lay student teachers Mary Fran Hoffman and Lisi Mul- hauser, Senn, are teaching French. Kindergarten and primary grade teachers find their schedules a little less regulated than high school teachers. We're supposed to teach for 40 minutes, but this doesn't always work out with kindergarten chil dren, comments perky Nancy Ma- lone, teacher at Gale Grammar School. It's difficult to retain their attention for longer than 20-minute lessons. Other kindergarten teachers are: Katherine Buckett, Hibbard school; Carole DeCoster, Boone; Mary Ann Strobel, Field; Martha Grant, Goudy; Marie Beaton, Green; Ma rion Vlazny, Kilmer; Gerry Lusson and Jill Salvaggio, Swift school; JoAnn Mulloy, Trumbull; Dorothy Radke, Ogden. School Sets Schedule Mary Lou Lehman who teaches third grade at Hibbard school, feels that she is very fortunate to be able to teach twice a day. This usu ally depends on the individual school itself, affirms Mary Lou. Other elementary school teachers include: Marybeth Foley, Boone school; Sandra Cronin, Field; Judy Cook, Gale; Jean Gogliardi and Mary Bielitzki, Goudy; Eileen Rac zak, Green; Pat Clifford, Kilmer; Joan McCabe, Stone; Gloria Lett, Swift; Mary Eileen Walsh, Trum bull; Mary Williams, Ogden.

STORYTELLING TIME comes to Angel Guardian Orphanage. Left: De nise McGrath, senior, receives contrasting reactions as she entertains two youngsters with a story. Right: Rosemary Scherer, senior, devotes hpr time to an eager pupil. Angel Guardian Tykes Receive Special Attention More rewarding than an apple for the teacher are the small, medium and large hellos 23 Mundelein tutors receive weekly at Angel Guardian Orphanage. A second school day begins at 4 and at 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday for children from kinder garten to high school age at AGO. Though they are well taught and many of them superior students, the children have a tendency to fall be hind in their school work if they are not given individual attention. The idea of tutoring the children came from the Christmas visit of the speech correction majors to the orphanage. Lesson drill, individual attention and the personal touch are the real needs of the school children, Sister Angelona, Ph.J.C, principal told Mary Lou Lehman. Appealing to the reading, arith metic, English and speech capabili ties of fellow Mundelein students, Mary Lou was able to draft the 23 volunteers. Brushing off their Puff and Jane readers and brush ing up on decimal points and frac tions are seniors Rosemary Scherer, Denise McGrath, Fran Wolosewick, Fran Kinloch, Gerry Ptacek, Sheila Moran, Judy Cook, Ann Marie O'Malley, Shelmerdeane Miller, Marcia Magiera and Mary Lou Lehman. The junior tutors include Gail Grundmann, Carol Smith, Pat O'Toole and Helen Cleary. Sophomores are Darlene Mc Laughlin, Pat Wenskus, Pat Ap pleby, Maureen Burns, Cathy Rose, Mary Ellen Bradley, Sharon Schnell and Jean Gajewski. The children attend school in their cottages'' an unique fea ture at Angel Guardian. One sis ter lives with a small group of chil dren in a cottage-like structure which is attached to the main build ing. After only three weeks of exer cising the hickory stick the young tutors notice an improvement in the children's interest in school work. And all of them respond to personal attention. Gail Grundmann was rushed by the five-and-under boys in the Baby House. Pulling on her skirt and begging her to Come see my bed, Come play with me Gail finds that the small fry need love more than anything else. Mary Lou has been working with an 11 year-old boy whose IQ is 148 but who has been unable to succeed in school for several months. When he asked Mary Lou why she was coming, she told him that she wanted to work with him. In a surprised voice David asked, You mean you're coming all the way here to see just me? Yes. Oh boy Dads' Club Plans Day in College Mundelein's Fathers' Club will present an opportunity for parents to catch up painlessly on current trends and ideas on April 8 when it presents the annual A Day in College. The program consists of 12 class lectures four each at 12:30, 1:30 and 2:30 by speakers well versed on particular topics. Effects of Outer Space on Hu man Physiology, The Place of Philosophy in the Modern World and Everyday Concepts of Per sonality comprise only a few of the subjects to be discussed. Following the lecture the guests are invited to a social hour and lunch in the tearoom. The fee for the day is 2 per person and 3 per married couple. GreekMarket Place Offers Open Forum For Philosophers Turning the social room into a Greek market place, junior and senior philosophers informally dis cuss aspects of Thomism and other philosophies. The bi-weekly meetings, held on alternate Mondays at 4 p.m., pres ently afford students the opportu nity to debate, contradict or reason to solutions on such issues as ani mal intelligence, the nature of knowledge, and determinism and its consequences. Sister Mary Jean Michael, B.V.M., chairman of the philosophy department, attends the meetings and is interested in the students' concern for the living, vital prob lems of philosophy which call for a personal solution. Other interested upperclassmen are invited to join the group, Sister stresses. Anthropologist Lectures Professor F. Clark Howell, visiting anthropologist will speak today to the biology and sociology departments on the aspects of origin on human be havior. Unsung Committees Aim To Please A Chicago theme for the Concert- Lecture series, an honors program for B students and extended in terest in the Service Club these aims represent the efforts of three SAC branches which students often overlook. The Concert-Lecture Committee plans the series at monthly meet- PROMOTING STUDENT INTEREST in three SAC branches is the aim of Mary Northrup, chairman of the academic affairs committee; Monica Zoch, chairman of the service committee; and Marge Ostrander, representative of the Concert-Lecture committee. by Mary Jo Murray ings beginning in January. Carol Bellamy, senior; Joanne Lenihan and Marge Ostrander, juniors; and Peggy Clements and Jan Jearas, sophomores comprise the student planners for the '63-'64 school year. The faculty members include chair man Sister Mary Assisum, B.V.M., Sister Mary Cecilia, B.V.M., Sister Mary Christiane, B.V.M., Mrs. Pat ricia O'Donnell Ewers, Mr. Kenneth Izzi and Sister Mary Philippa, B.V.M. Consider Chicago Theme The group studies brochures from various agencies and pools ideas in search of a stimulating C-L series. At present they are considering a Chicago theme for next year. Sister Mary Assisium recognizes that Chicago is progressing in ev ery direction social, cultural, fi nancial. Therefore, Mundelein need only open her front doors to wel come C-L guests. Perhaps the de partments in the college will pick up the idea for example, the art department with an exhibit featur ing Chicago talent; sociology by discussing urban affairs; economics by highlighting developments such as the St. Lawrence Seaway or McCormick Place. Students, Faculty Meet The second branch, the Faculty- Student Committee on Scholastic Affairs met three times so far this year. Class presidents appoint the student members: chairman Mary Northrup, Denise Lenzi and Doro thy Zadrozny, seniors; Grace Peters and Merrily Smith, juniors; Mary Ann Littau and Bonnie Relli, sopho mores and Mary Anne Chang, freshman.

Sister Mary Ignatia is presently working on an honors program for B students at the suggestion of the committee. Next year's hopes involve a course and teacher evaluation. Mary Northrup explains, This evaluation is essential to better communication between teacher and student. I am not certain how the system will work and I have writ ten to 14 colleges for ideas. How ever, I think each teacher will be (Continued on Page 4)
