M., chair man of the Art department, assisted by Joan Fritcbic and Patricia O'Shea, art students, decorated' the illuminated parchment testifying to the recent con secration of St. Jerome's church.

Miss Fritchie has also contributed the cover heading to a new juvenile magazine. The Little Missionary, published by the Reverend F. Kam- pocher. Holy Ghost seminary. Wiscon sin. Other Mundelein art students will contribute illustrations to the small magazine, approved by His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, as an encouragement of the missionary spirit among Catholic boys and girls. There's something about a Mundelein girl . . . The Reverend John McKecbney, S. J., in structor at the Eido Middle school, Taura, Yokosuka. Japan, illus trates the point in a letter to bis family, in Chicago. My first meeting with Norma Biller (Munde lein ex '48) was rather disconcerting. A fellow language student dash ed into my room one afternoon with the re port that a girl and an M. P. were wandering through the house look ing for me. I found them waiting at the foot of the stairs. Norma, an attractive girl in her early twen ties, dressed in an army hostess' uniform, bad just arrived in Japan from Chicago and had been told by the Sisters at her college to look me up. The M. P. was a stalwart lad of 19. After we had gone through the routine of introducing ourselves, and then touring our spacious campus, she in vited me to accompany them back to Tokyo for dinner. We dropped Norma at her hotel to give her a chance to dress for dinner. Later, when she appeared in the hotel doorway, there were two other M. P.'s with her. (I found out that she habitually dated two and three at a time until she got to know them pretty well.) Since then I have had occasion to visit M. P. headquarters a num ber of times and have found that she has cap tivated practically all the personnel, plans par ties for them, organizes the dances, takes them out on picnics. Her job. as she puts it, is to help these boys lead a decent life, to take their minds off the Japanese girls, and make them remember what American girls are like. To keep up her own morale, she goes to Mass and Communion every day of the week and keeps her rosary with her at all times. On each one of my visits she has uncovered two or three new men who want to be come Catholics or who have been away from the Sacraments for some time and want to get back. In the evening,she rounds up between 25 and 50 men. We sit on the lawn while they fire questions at me on religion. She is definitely a magnificent success in the job she came over here to perform. As far as the M. P.'s arc con cerned, the Army can junk its weekly morali ty talks. The M. P.'s do not need them, now that they have Norma Biller. Ethel Dignan '47, Executive Secre tary of the Student Relief drive spon sored by NFCCS, will address the stu dent assembly at 1 p.m., Nov. 18. A Summa Cum Laude graduate, Miss Dignan has headquarters in New York, and visits colleges throughout the Uni ted States in the interests of aid to European students.
