Volume III MUNDELEIN COLLEGE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 7, 1933 Number 9 LAETARE SUNDAY CELEBRATED BY DRAMA SOCIETY Penelope Haloulos Awarded The Golden Rose For Greatest Service On Laetare Sunday, March 26, the club aiumnae, the members, and the pledges of the Laetare players gathered at the college to celebrate their feast day with Mass, Holy Communion, breakfast, and a program in their own Little Theatre. The Reverend William A. Finnegan, S. J., of Loyola University, officiated at the Mass and gave a brief sermon, congratu lating the players upon their choice of a day for celebration, and commending them upon their work as Catholic artists striving for the realization of a fine ideal. Cites Drama in Liturgy How fitting it is, Father said, that you should participate in this greatest drama of all, the sacrifice of Calvary, as a thanksgiving for your dramatic suc cesses throughout the year. And he spoke briefly of the place of the drama in the liturgy and teachings of the Church. After Mass, the players breakfasted in the cafeteria, where the club colors, red, black, and silver, were carried out in the table decorations. Tiny silver bud vases held a black-and-red tulip with each guest's name written on a spreading leaf. Tall red candles and dark-red tulips in black vases completed the effect Program of Toasts Follows Penelope Haloulos, president of the club, acted as toastmistress. Virginia Sweeney gave a toast to the college, and Frances Burke followed with one to the President of the college. There followed toasts to the honorary members by Mary Nicholson; to the pledges by Janice Linnett; to the alum nae by Geraldine Gardiner; to the club moderators by Marion Ryan and Ger trude Scanlan. Dorothy White responded for the pledges and Eleanor Joyce for the alum nae. Besides Miss Joyce, two other alumnae members were present, Mary (Continued on Page 3, Col. 5) DRAMA STUDENTS'PLAY BROADCAST OVER WMAQ A one-act play entitled Ye Olde Tea Inn, adapted by Penelope Holoulos and Mary Nicholson, was heard over WMAQ, the Chicago Daily News sta tion, yesterday evening at 5:45. The play was broadcast from the Mer chandise Mart. The cast included: Pau line Duzeski, Marion Ryan, Geraldine Gardiner, Gertrude Scanlan, Mary Ni cholson, and Penelope Haloulos. John P. Lally, who is in charge of the fiction hour programs of the Daily News, sponsored the program, and Glenn Drake, former tenor star of WGN, who is now associated with the National Broadcast ing Company, directed the players. Miss Haloulos sang during the broad cast. lt; gt; ACTIVITIES COUNCIL PLANS CARD PARTY Those Mundelein students who have seen the attractive prizes which are to be given at the Student Activities card party, are busy improving their games for that event which is to be held at the Edgewater Beach hotel on Saturday, April 29, at 2 o'clock. League Secretary Addresses Group On Japan Problem Mr. Clark M. Eichelberger, executive secretary of the League of Nations in America and editor of the League of Nations Chronicle, addressed the mem bers and guests of the International Re lations club on March 29. Mr. Eichelberger spoke on the relations of the League to the Far Eastern situ ation. He declared that the League, con trary to the opinion of many, has not met with failure in handling the Manchurian question, for, although it has failed to secure peace, it lias kept the fire of bat tle from spreading over the entire world. Mr. Eichelberger believes that the League has displayed great strength of purpose in taking such a firm stand against Japan, and that it has succeeded in establishing some very splendid princi ples. It has proved: 1, that a committee can enter an extremely difficult situation and emerge with a very satisfactory re port; 2, that an aggressor can be deter mined ; 3, that a committee will pass judgment on a situation. Mr. Eichelberger believes that peace can be procured by several means: 1, by a war (all nations against Japan), which is out of the question; 2, by a boycott. This, he believes, is a splendid means, but the world is not as yet ready for it. Another method would be for the Pres ident of the United States to declare an arms embargo. This latter would be a means of maintaining world-wide peace. He believes that the United States should enter the League through two mo tives high ideals and self-interest. Mr. Eichelberg stated that Japan would prob ably have been hesitant about going to war if the League were reinforced by the United States. Senior Rings Blessed In Class Ceremonial The Reverend James J. Mertz, S. J., professor of senior religion, officiated at the ceremony of the blessing of the sen iors' rings in Stella Maris Chapel on Fri day, March 19. This tradition was es tablished by the first graduating class last year. After blessing and presenting the rings, which consist of a simple oblong carnelian stone set in gold and embossed with the college seal in gold, Father spoke on their significance as pledges of the gradu ates to remain loyal to the principles for which their college stands. Benediction of the Most Blessed Sac rament was given, the college choir furn ishing the music, and the seniors, with Father Mertz, were guests at a class luncheon planned and served by the mem bers of the department of home eco nomics. College Choir To Sing Tre Ore At Cenacle -4 The Convent of the Cenacle, a religious house on the north side devoted to re treats and similar work has invited the members of the college choir, a division of the Glee Club, to sing at Tre Ore there on Good Friday. Those who will sing are Mary Jane Blenner, Mary Louise Berryhill, Grace Cashin, Edith Dorn, Grace Fabbri, Mar garet Grace, Winnifred Greene, Rose mary Kearns, Mary Frances Kennelly, Arline Kroutil, Mary O'Brien, Emer Phibbs, Bernice Rategan, Helen Shan non, Marion Sifferman, and Dorothy Weldon. Father Siedenberg SOCIOLOGIST TELLS OF SOUTHERN TRIP The Reverend Frederic Sie denberg, S.J., Talks On Caribbean Situation By Frances Davidson and Charlotte Wilcox In his illustrated lecture on Uncle Sam in the Caribbean, the Reverend Frederic Siedenburg, S. J., executive dean of the University of Detroit and former dean of the Loyola school of sociology, brought before the students the glamorous natural beauty of the Caribbean countries, the poverty of many of their natives, and the important part which the United States plays in their administration. Few Americans realize, Father Sied enburg declared, the importance and al most paramount influence of the United States in the Caribbean countries. The Piatt Amendment attached to the con stitution of Cuba makes the United States responsible for its conduct, and puts Cuba in tutelage to our Government. American capital controls not only the sugar industry, but many others, and with the influx of American tourists due to the Volstead era, American customs have come into the country with American goods. Prior to his coming to the college, Father Siedenburg granted an interview to two Skyscraper reporters after a lec ture at St. Ignatius on the West Side on Sunday, April 2. (Continued on Page 3, Col. 5) Prelates to Give Awards for Best Poem and Essay To encourage further those taking part in the Creative Writing contest, the Styl us club announces that the Right Rever end Bernard J.

Miss Tynan's play will be published in the Daily News and broadcast over station WMAQ. Abbey Players Are Guests of College; Director Lectures It was an enthusiastic audience that welcomed a group of the Abbey Players to Mundelein on Friday afternoon, March 24, when they met the student body as guests of the Stylus club. Those members of the company who were present were Mr. Arthur Shields, Mr. U Wright, Miss Joan Sullivan, Mr. Denis O'Dea, and Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Carolan. They were ac companied by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Phibbs. Mr. Shields, who is directing this group of the Irish players, addressed the assembly. He spoke of the origin of the Irish theater; of its great struggle for survival during the disastrous periods of the World War, the Anglo-English War, and the heart-breaking Civil War; of William Butler Yeats, and Lady Gregory, whose grand visions of an Irish theater these players have labored to materialize; and of the gradual recognition in both Ireland and other nations, of the true merit of the theater and of its players. The plays we produce, said Mr. Shields, are unique in that they are deeply rooted in Irish soil and Irish his tory. Our first contribution to America was the pioneers we sent over to help build your nation, but now we are offer ing artistic endeavor, not flesh and blood. We try to give you the thoughts, emo tions, and ancient idealism of the Irish people in our plays The Abbey Theatre Players who come from Dublin, Ireland, have extended their engagement at the Harris Theatre for another two weeks. They have scored great success with their repertory, and have won special ac claim for their presentations of The New Gossoon, The Playboy of the Western World, and The Whiteheaded Boy. Rare Rock Collection Given Geology Section J. R. Foster, father of Helen Foster, a former Mundelein student, recently presented the college with a new collec tion of geological specimens. Mr. Foster and his daughter, who have made many trips through Alaska and the Klondike region, presented a similar group of speci mens some time ago. In the collection are several speci mens of limestone, paint rock, and man ganese, from the state of Washington. One piece labeled zonolite, which is used for insulating purposes, comes from Lib- by, Montana. Another, a particularly heavy piece of copper ore labeled covelite, comes from the Kennecott mine in Alas ka. One of the best in the collection is a very rare piece of tonsten gold lead from Central Alaska. There is also a piece of tungsten or silver lead from the Blue Ribbon Mine in northern Idaho. Three Win Preliminary Speech Contest April 1 Miss Mercedes Cambridge of St. Thomas the Apostle high school, Miss Mary Rose Brown of Providence high school, and Miss Patricia Kearns of the Immaculata high school were winners in the Laetare Scholarship preliminary con test held at the college on Saturday, April 1. These students will enter the finals, which will be held on Saturday, April 27. The judges were Mrs. J. Manley Phelps and Mrs. LeRoy V. Stransky. PRE-MEDICS VISIT COUNTY HOSPITAL; VIEW JURATION J. P. O'Donoghue, M. D., Ar ranges Trip and Grants Student Interview By Dorothea Von Wonterghem Students of the comparative anatomy class will not soon forget Dr. J. B. O'- Donoghue, for it was through his cour tesy that they were able to take the most interesting trip on their field schedule, namely, a visit to one of the operating rooms of Cook County hospital, at 9:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning, March 21. The students made a quick tour of several of the operating rooms, includ ing the amphitheatre. The inspection had to be cut short, however, as the hour for the operation had arrived. The class was directed up some very narrow, very winding, and very dark stairs which led to a gallery that afforded excellent facili ties for close observataion. Operating Boom Is Quiet An operation was in progress and had to be finished before Doctor O'Donoghue could begin, so, as the sur geon on the floor had no objections, the students decided to begin their educa tion at once. The room was character ized by an air of quiet efficiency in which nervous strain was lacking. As Dpctor O'Donoghue later ex plained, such tension is usually a bad sign. In the operating room everyone has his duty, for which he alone is re sponsible, and a psychological attitude of confidence makes for a cooperation and friendliness that turns work into pleasure, and not into a thing over which to worry and fret. Doctor Explains Terms Before this case was finished Doc tor O'Donoghue came in, introduced himself, and then began an explanation of hospital terms and technique which continued until he had completed his work for the morning. The Doctor prefaced his remarks with a short description of the ideals of the medical profession. He pointed out (Continued on Page 3, Col. 2) ADD RENTAL SECTION TO COLLEGE LIBRARY Have you taken advantage of our rental library ?

ANNOUNCING THE EASTER VACATION Now that the quarterly examina tions are over, for a time, at least, Mundelein students are looking for ward to a welcome respite from the routine of school work in the form of Easter vacation.
