Feb. 15,1967 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Five Haul of the Wild Hereby Hangs a Dog's Tale by Carol Ries Mundelein students, as witnessed during the Great Snow, are not easily squelched by adverse weather conditions or even post-snow storm obstacles. Previously held theories about the age of the anti-hero were properly dispelled as a hardy group of residents mustered to aid a white Spitz terrier marooned on one of Lake Michigan's quasi - icebergs, Feb. 9. A panicky atmosphere prevailed at first when Sister Joan Francis Crowley, the first to spot a dog, hurried to an 8:30 Russian class leaving the rescue up to the inge nuity of pajama-clad residents. WCFL finally came through after fruitless phone calls made by mili tant tax payers in the student body failed to produce results from the proper authorities. A Northwestern University stu dent heard the plaintive voice of Vicki Germann over the radio and Skyscraper Photo by Theresa Ebenhoe JANET BINA, Kelley Matthews and Tom Farrington, under the direction of Sister Jeanelle Bergen, work out the blocking for The Skin of Our Teeth, to be presented Feb. 18 and 19 in the College Theater. Laetare Stages Satiric Drama The Laetare Players will present The Skin of Our Teeth in the Mundelein College Theater, Feb. 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. fantasy The play, a fantasy by Thornton Wilder, stars Janet Bina as Sabina; Kelley Mat thews as Mrs. Antrobus; Tom Farrington as Mr. Antrobus; Kathy Rochford as Gladys and Wally O'Charik as Henry. The girls are drama students at Mundelein and the boys are students at Loyola University. Sister Jeanelle Bergen, drama department chairman, is directing the play, assisted by Danae Alex ander, student director. The Skin of Our Teeth, the winner of a Pulitzer Prize, is a satiric story of the extraordinary adventures of the Antrobus family down through the ages. The play relates their adventures from the time a great mass of ice covers the world until the end of a war any war. Because of the Antrobus' sur vival of flood, war, disease, the ice age, fire and depression, they are depicted as bewitched, befuddled and becalmed. They are portrayed as true heroes, having survived numerous catastrophes by the skin of their teeth. In a narrow range, the play em phasizes the indestructibility of the Antrobus family, but, seen in a larger context, the drama is a trib ute to faith in humanity. The New York Herald Tribtine called The Skin of Our Teeth . . . wonderfully wise as well as wacky. A vital and wonderful piece of theater ... a tremendously ex citing and profound stage fable. Tickets are 1.50. .AaaaV .. . aaataaaaaaaaaaaaVHaaaaaaaaal Skyscraper Photo by Kathy Riley WARMING UP after his ordeal on the ice, the rescued terrier nestles in the arms of Sue Balser while Evelyne Strache smiles approvingly.

Her exhibit, closing Feb. 27, consists of a pleasing variety of water colors, oils, collages, etchings and pop art works. Pam, a senior, transferred to Mundelein in her sophomore year from U.C.L.A., bringing along with her a long list of awards and prizes. Her awards began in the fifth grade when she placed first in the state of California's American Legion Contest. During her two summers in the Midwest she has taught art at Chicago Boys' Clubs, and in the summer of 1965 she won the Paul Wieg- hardt painting scholarship. Paul Wieghardt is the head professor of painting at the Art Institute in Chicago. Pam attributes much of her success to her fine art teachers and her mother, an established artist. In criticizing her own work she says that before this year my painting was all from the imagination. It was too much of a stress in one direction. She emphasized that she was very grateful to Mr. Gordon Goetemann this year because he made her aware of a different approach by helping her observe the outside world. Water color is her favorite medium. I like drawing and painting and with water color I can synthesize both areas, she concluded. In the future Pam plans to attend graduate school at U.C.L.A., the University of Wisconsin or Villa Schifanoia in Florence, Italy. Ulti mately she wants to teach art on the college level. nie Manka and Pat Hamill ('61). JoAnne Miks Pekkarinen ('64) will play the Prelude movement from Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin.

Meanwhile Evelyne Strache low ered Sue Balser head-first down the wall in an effort to rescue the ca nine once and for all. A crowd of shouting and whistling Mundelein girls prompted the animal to leap into the arms of his precariously perched rescuer. An elated crowd of spectators trooped into Lewis Center after wards as a belated Fire Depart ment helicopter cruised curiously above.
