Glass, Maryknoll missionary, heard on Christmas Eve, 1944, the church bells ring summon ing American Catholics to Midnight Mass. It was the first time in eight years, he told students at a special freshman assembly on March 8, that the bells I heard were summoning people to wor ship and not to find shelter from Jap anese bombers. Reminding the students that China has been at war for eight years, that it is a country of 85 million homeless natives, that it lacks an adequately trained army, and that its inflation has reached the point where stricken men. women, and children, fleeing for 70 days across the scorched earth of Chi na, pay 65 for a bowl of rice, Father Glass indicated that it will be many months before Americans can heipe for the end of the war in the Orient. America, where inflation has been held in check, where children go to school, and where church bells ring, is, according to Father Glass, like a dream world, and China, to which he- expects to return this month, seems, in contrast, a tragic nightmare. Early in December, Father Glass, who for two years before his return to the United States was an interpre ter for Army Headquarters, noted that, for most missionaries, actual mission ary work has, of necessity given way to service with the Army or relief work with Chinese refugees. He added that if it were not for the Army there would be no hope of getting the missions back Father Glass cites as the most won derful thing that ever happened to him his return to the United States. Having taken a 14-day jeep trip from Chungking to an American air base at Chengtu. he received a wire on ar rival there to report back to Chungking immediately. Returning by plane, he learned that he might accompany Ambassador Pat rick Hurley to the States. Boarding a Douglas C-54 transport plane, the party left Chungking on Dec. 20, made six stops at Calcutta and at Karachi, In dia ; Egypt, Africa, Brazil, and Puerto Rico, all for refueling the plane and landed in Washington, D. C. on Dec. 23, having made the 13.000 mile trip in 64 hours. ... the scientific equipment of their fields are Mary Jane Kent, Florence Flesch, Rita Stalzer, Florence Miller, and Eleanor Pohl, who will take part in a Science Forum at the student assembly. March 22. (Story on page 1.) Senior Recital Climaxes Study (Continued from page 1, column 1) A perfect parallel to the wild enchant ment of the Ritual Fire Dance is Miss Frick's next piano selection, Debussy's peaceful Reflets dans l'eau. . A dra matic etuele, La Campanclla, composed for the violin by Paganini and arranged for the piano by Franz Liszt, is the last of Miss Frick's melodies for the piano. In her next number, Miss Frick will play an organ composition presented for the first time at the College Divertisse ment by Bieme. The sound of ringing church bells per vades Bossi's Ave Maria. Miss Frick's next offering. Bossi, an Italian com poser, creates in the hymn the atmos phere of Rome, city of many churches. A rapid, electrifying toccata, the Finale from the Fifth Symphony by Widor, is Miss Frick's closing selection. The Speech choir, directed by Cather ine Denny Phelps of the Drama depart ment, will appear twice during the pro gram. Included in its offerings will be Disobedience, by A. A. Milne; The Lady, by Elizabeth Coates; The Mystic, by Kale Young Rice; L'Envoy, by Rud- yard Kipling; and Four Little Foxes, by Lew Sarett. The choir's interpretation of The Drum, by Sutton, will create the proper mood for Miss Frick's Ritual Eire Dance. Adding another unusual note to the pro gram will be an original arrangement of the popular song. White Cliffs of Dover. Decorators Descend upon Unsuspecting College; Upset Student Complacency The Ieles of March are justly famous in Roman history, but the First of March brought far more incredible oc currences to Mundelein this year. Students, now resigned to hanging off street cars and pleading with bus driv ers and missing elevated trains, had hitherto regarded Mundelein not enly as a sanctuary of learning but also as a tower of safety. But March 1 brought a different state of affairs at least to me. Being late, naturally, I handed my outer garments to a friend and joined the swirling horde waiting for the ele vators. The clock was. as sometimes happens, two minutes slow, thus giving me a false impression of security. I am, I might remark, among the in dolent few who prefer an attendance check to a trek up the stairs. Edging toward the doors of my favorite ele vator, I noted that this direct and rapid means of travel was well guarded by at least 25 more nine-o'clock scholars. Turning my back on the elevator doors and gazing at the pictures of prospective Servicemen-of-the-Montb on the War Bond bulletin board, I noted the new and arresting notice on the Dean's board: Decorators on the first floor travel there at your own risk. The arrival of the elevator shattered further plans for window-shopping, anel, remembering previous tardies, I moved along with the crowd and arrived at the doors just as the soft-voiced but purposeful operator said the saddest words of tongue or pen: That will he all, and, closing the doors, sped up ward, without me. I wondered for the millionth time why one more especially if I happen to be the one cannot be squeezed in. Rather than wait what alw-ays seems an eternity, I decided to walk a rash decision since, when only half a flight up. I began a mental dispute with the authorities who maintain that the Em pire State building is the tallest in the world. Arriving at my destination, I was confronted by a joyous gentleman in white duck, with many brushes, can vases, and paints. Now, since I am not superstitious, I have no qualms about walking under a ladder, but squirming beneath a low one erected right in front of the door required con tortion. The fact that the canvas floor covering became inseparably attached to my feet caused no end of difficulty. The bell rang, of course, and the class invoked St. Thomas while I strug gled with the paint brushes, ladders, canvas, and pails. Free at last. 1 slipped unobtrusively through the back door, and settled down for the usual hour of lecture and note taking. But no. this was no usual class. In the midst of discussion of philosophic depth came a baritone version of Don't fence me in, sung in a manner to put Lawrence Tibbett to shame. Painting the ceiling on the main floor, they set up a booby trap outside the Dean's office. Interested in communi cations, they tinted the phone booths, and w-e stuck to the phone-book shelves. In the greatest stroke of genius of all. they locked us in a classroom, and enabled us to realize a lifelong ambition to have classes go on and on, without interruption of end-of-period bells.
