Foreign Student Gives A+ To City for Street Markers Have you ever realized what an efficient numbering system Chi cago has in its streets? Has it ever occurred to you that simply by knowing the address you can with reasonable ease find any location p this city ? Gerda Schnitzler, one of Mundelein's new foreign students, rates biicago's street system as a great improvement over similar systems in Europe, where she says it is almost impossible to find your way round without a guide. A lail Chicago has found a true admirer in lliss Schnitzler, since she has liked it wn the start. A scholarship student, ibe arrived in the United States three ninths ago from her home in Frank- lit Germany. Her only regret is that (cause of her studies she has not been ible to find enough time to see all the mh oints of interest in the city. While travelling through the United iff; itates, Miss Schnitzler was unprepared illi jr the sight of the vast amount of un- lrr titivated land. /H She was impressed also by the dis- pces between towns and cities. In itfl pope you can rarely go over a few Des without coming to a small vil- fir gt; ge or town, she said. The heavy slo iffic in Chicago and the striking con- u). ists found in the various heights and m3 editions of the buildings have sur- itiJ iscd her. ' 5 Asked how she likes Mundelein, Miss l'c hnitzler enthusiastically replied that she J es it very much, especially the lake inn I, of course the classes. She hopes prcome a psychiatrist. More About Twelfth Night Suggesting the spirit of the Christmas holidays, Twelfth Night is a play of light humor. Written in 1600 or 1601, Twelfth Night was produced about the same time as the author's Hamlet. Shakespeare based some of the drama's adventures on popular stories and Italian sources, but the humorous characters, Malvolio, Sir Toby, Maria, Feste, and Sir Andrew, are all his own creations. A Comparison of Twelfth Night with the bard's earlier comedy experiments, The Comedy of Errors and Two Gentle men From Verona, shows his develop ment in this field. Beneath the prevalent laughter is found wisdom and a penetrating knowledge of human nature.
