4 THE SKYSCRAPER October 26, 1934 Soccer Manager Sends Out Call For More Players SOS SOS Send Out Soccer- ites This is the plea of Harriet Mc- Dermott, soccer manager. Miss Mc- Dermott and Miss Catherine Schirz have been endeavoring for the past two weeks to get class teams organized and prac ticing, for forthcoming tournaments. The inter-class games must be played off during the first week of November, and each class team is required to have several practices before tliat date. The necessity for practice is indisputable and students are asked to co-operate. Since soccer strikes the keynote of the athletic year, a good turnout will effect the suc cess of the entire year favorably. Students interested in soccer should see Miss Schirz or Harriet McDermott immediately. W.A.A. points are award ed for participation in interclass games and for class practices. Scientist'Swimmer Has Crowded Summer Terrapins Have Tryouts For Juniors And Seniors The Terrapin club is recruiting new Junior and Senior members tor the com ing year as weekly tryouts are held. On Oct. 15, Edith Coyne and Lucille Small passed Junior tests. Justine Martin, who passed Senior tests, is now eligible for her class swimming team. At a second tryout on Oct, 18, Fran ces Crowley and-Eileen Grimm joined the ranks of tne Juniors, wtule Roberta Christie and Marguerite Collins became Senior members. A third and last try- out will be held on Oct. 31. When this season's list of recruits is complete, plans will be laid for initiation and reception of pledges. At a meeting on Oct. 18, the follow ing officers were selected for the coming year: Jean O'Connor, president; Irene Lavin, vice-president; Mae Sexton, sec retary-treasurer, and Margaret Vendley, social. chairman. Orphans Capture Hearts Of Sociology Students By Marion Mulligan . On Columbus Day, members of the in stitutional visiting class made a tour of St. Vincent's Infant Asylum and Mater nity Hospital, where the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent De Paul, founded in 1633, are still doing their splendid work in the care of Chicago's neglected children. In an outdoor playground, with the blue sky for a ceiling and fascinating toys to pass the recreation period, we found the oldest children, most of them three and four years. Thirty-five little men and women, superintended by nurses and teachers, joyfully welcomed their vis itors. Helen Lynch won approval from the clamoring throng by distributing some of her own personal stationery. Meanwhile, in a corner of the yard Adele J.uhnke of the class of '34, who is now taking the social service course, was having a rousing time pulling a capacity load in a coaster wagon while a line formed to the right for their turns. Our party had moved on to the young est . set before we discovered that Lucy Crowley, Genevieve Collins, and Rochelle Kaden were among the missing. After a short search we found them watching a red-haired, pug-nosed pugilist of about eleven months as he argued with his crib mate over a nursery matter. Helen Daly of the home economics department was naturally interested in the menu of the infants' carefully plan ned diet. She was an absorbed spec tator as we crowded around the dining room door while white-masked nurses (to guard the darlings from germs) fed copious bowls of custard to contented babyhood. Our visit was over, but it took quite a bit of persuasion to start the vis itors homeward, more convinced than ever that social service is the only voca tion for them.' Work and play dovetailed beautifully in the summer vacation of Estelle Wing- ler, a junior who aims at a science de gree as a preparation for medical school and who is, besides, one of our most en thusiastic swimmers. During the first two weeks of the sum mer vacation, Miss Wingler took a course in Girl Scout leadership at the Innisfree Girl Scout camp in Michigan. Returning to Chicago, she had the un usual opportunity, of working for three weeks in the laboratories of the Health Department in the City hall, where she had access to a variety of bacteriological data. Mid-July found Miss Wingler at the Salvation Army camp at Camp Lake, Wisconsin, in the capacity of Red Cross examiner. As a lite guard she had un der her care 138 swimmers, and in addi tion she drilled a life saving class ol 35. In recognition of her efficiency, Miss Wingler received high commendation from the camp officials and was given the achievement award certificate- Returning to Chicago, Miss Wingler spent another three weeks in the Health Department laboratories, and as a result of tier experiences there exhibits, on re quest, a note dook well stocked witn bac teriological tests and a wealth of general laboratory information. The summer was now drawing to a close, but Miss Wingler found time to include two weeks of work at the Muni cipal Social Clinic. Actual work in the laboratories besides considerable clinical observation combined to make these two weeks especially beneficial to one so in tensely interested in medicine. Miss Wingier finished off the summer by participating in the South-West Mer- cnants' Association swimming contests sponsored in connection with Homecom ing Week. She placed first. in the 50- yard backstroke. and second in the 50- and 100-yard free Style . events. Other activities prevented her from taking part in the Herald and Examiner five-mile swim, but she was an official, life guard for the event Professors Give Opinions of Value Of Fair Exhibits Faculty Members Attend Social Welfare Meeting CISCA LEADERS ATTEND FUNERAL OF MODERATOR (Continued from Page 1, Col, 4) professors was so adjusted as to make it possible for them to teach at Mundelein when the College was first opened, arid it was he who gave the first formal lecture to the students when the College was opened in 1930. That day, Father Reiner talked on the Mass, which was, with his Sodality work; the great interest in his life, and he is sued a veritable challenge to the young women first enrolled in the school when he explained how like in outline to the Holy Sacrifice is the structure of Mun delein College. Both, he declared, have the broad firm foundation of faith; both hold up the cross of sacrifice, and both culminate in consecration. A questionnaire asking several lay Faculty members, What did you con sider the most interesting exhibit at the Century of Progress in relation to your particular field r has revealed the fol lowing replies: Miss Janine Nowokowska, Polish lit erature: The Hall of Science was my salient point of interest, especially the chemistry department, the most compact and perfect one that I have ever seen here or abroad. Besides teaching Polish I'm interested in chemistry. Of course, I've visited the Polish handicraft store with its elaborate vases, carved woods, and fine trays brought from all parts of Poland. Monsignor Cummings, social service department: When I go to the Fair, 1 go tor recreational purposes, not to see exhibits relating to my tieid. I have, how ever, found tne Engineering Building most interesting. Senorita Conchita Cruz, Romance lan guages : 1 enjoyed the Hall of Science at the World's fair most of all; it was wonderful, simply wonderful. I especial ly admired the .Loyola university exhibit. Professor Walter Flandorf, Glee club: The House of Magic and the Electrical Building I enjoyed most, because of the sound oscillator, showing tnat the timbre of sound can be made visible to the eye and can be arrived at by watching the figure which the oscillator describes. The eye is more reliable than the ear that is, in this country Miss Catnerme Schirz, physical edu cation: The Century of progress inter ested me lor two reasons. In connection witn dramatic work, tne folk dances and the Shakespearean piays presented at tne Olobe Tneatre were valuable, while trom the standpoint of health, the Hall ot Science and the Loyoia Medical exhibit nad much to offer. Rroiessor ii. f. Lewis, science depart ment : I found the demonstration of numerous varieties of soy beans con ducted at the Ford exhibit of particular interest. The oil which is derived from the soy bean has been used in place of linseed oil in the manufacture of pamt, and is called soy oil paint. The Reverend Eneas B. Goodwin, poli tical science: From an economic stand point, the great attendance at A Century of Progress, especially by Chicagoans, and the upward trend it indicates, is one of the most promising, and to me the (Continued in col. 5) The twentieth annual meeting of the National Conference of Catholic chari ties, held in Cincinnati from Oct. 7 to 10, was attended by Faculty members of the Mundelein sociology department. The three-day program, under the di rection of the Very Reverend Monsignor Marcellus Wagner, was opened with Pontifical Mass, celebrated by the Most Reverend A. G. Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to the United States. During the convention the delegates were addressed by such notables as Gov ernor George White of Ohio, Mayor Russell Wilson of Cincinnati, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, .and for mer Governor Smith of New York, whose address on The Citizen and So cial Welfare was enthusiastically re ceived. More than 50 round-table discussions were scheduled for the remaining two days, upon such important economic and social questions as the NRA and collec tive bargaining, institutional care, penal institutions, and neighborhood and com munity activities. The convention stressed the teachings of the Church concerning labor unions, minimum wages, strikes, unemployment insurance, and hours of labor. SKYSCRAPINGS Laetare Players Select Roles for Twelfth Night (Continued from page 1, col. 3) White and jane Malkemus will alternate as Feste, the clown; Ella Jamieson will be the chaplain to Olivia's house. Sallie Agnes Smith and Kathryn Walsh will alternate as Olivia; Mari an Bertrand and Mercedes McCambridge will alternate as Viola, and Frances Burke and Jeanette Kuzba will be ser vants to Maria and Olivia. Following close upon the amazingly successful presentation of Shakespearean plays at the Old Globe theatre at the Century of Progress, the Laetare play will be staged in accordance with the principles used at the .Fair. Although the play is-written originally in five acts, it will - be given here in three parts; the forestage will be used for the street scene, i the main stage for the homes of Olivia and the Duke, and an elevation for the garden scene. The Skyscraper extends the sym pathy of the Faculty and students of Mundelein College to Mary Belle Milli- man on the death of her father.

From a diminutive soloist in a great German metropolis to a great organist in a tiny Gerrnan village, is the interest ing story of the director of the Munde lein College Glee club, Professor Wal ter. Flandorf, whose daily organ recitals at the Black Forest of the Century of Progress were one of the chief reasons for that village's popularity at the Fair. Music, both vocal and instrumental, has long been an integral part of Mr. Flandorf's life. At the age of ten he was soloist in two of the largest churches in Berlin. However, an ardent love for the organ turned his efforts toward the study of that instrument, until in 1914, when the young musician: came to the United States, . he was equipped for a strenuous, yet colorful musical career which was to include teaching at the Toledo Conservatory of Music; a West ern tour giving piano recitals; being or ganist at prominent churches and civic institutions; and the; broadcasting of sev eral regular radio recitals. His recent i engagement at the Black Forest, however, is probably the most unusual. Imagine, remarks Mr. Flan dorf, playing.three hours daily with the temperature 106 degrees;, while you see, just below, the performers skating on artificial ice I . . . ;. Although no popular music was played, people, decidedly liked the reci tals, according to Mr. Flandorf, who be lieves that concessions like the Black Forest, admittedly one of the important attractions of the Fair, were frequented the most because they were places of cul ture, and did not make a practice of of fering the people anything of an objec tionable nature. Was the village an authentic replica ? Some of the outstanding features of the Black Forest region are reproduced, but as to the costumes Mr. Flandorf smiled, then as a concession, added, They may not be authentic, but you get the effect. From music at the Black Forest to music in general is a short step and Mr. Flandorf has some very definite views on the subject. The American, he stated, considers music purely as an entertainment, which is only one purpose of music. He be lieves that because he pays for his ticket he has the right to demand only what pleases him, so that the-professional must always be careful of-the American cus tomer. This condition will- probably be reme died only when the American people re ceive cultured productions free of charge from the govefnrhent ; Football games ran a close second to the Sophomore Cotillion in the locker- room conversations wnich we overheard these last two weeks. Marion Morrison saw Notre Dame defeated by the Univer sity of Texas, but perhaps it was because Francis Woods, Sheila Sullivan, Mary Joyce Vail, and Margaret Fitz gerald were in the stands giving their moral support that the South Bend boys (or, snould we say menr) downed i'urdue so decisively. Elizabeth Kay saw the Illinois-Ohio game as part of the Homecoming lestivi- ties at Champaign during the week-end of Oct 13, wmle Mary Ann Kirschten was among the Uefaul rooters at the oayton game, on Oct. 12. Marion Green, the vivacious sopho more social-cnairman, was still so enthu siastic alter the Cotillion that she hied uerself to the Carnegie game at Notre uame. Marion Fitzgerald and Jane Flick spent last week-end at South Bend, at tending the game and tne dance that lonowed. Others have taken time lately to devote themselves to the more cultural aspects of iiie. We saw Gertrude Kaffekty in one of the boxes at tne ban Carlo com pany's performance of Aida on Oct. 12. Mary Catherine Rose saw the same group in Rigoietto the following evening. Several of the resident students, in cluding . Betty Haffner, Elizabeth iiiGGiNS, Katherine Pitman, and .trances Woods, were among the Mun delein girls at a dance in the Loyola gym on Oct. 12. A former Mundelein student Edythe Williams, whose home is now in Lon don, is the envy of all of the girls who know her. She is now in Fougeres, Switzerland, having spent part of the summer traveling through Ireland. Edythe, wno would have been a sopho more this year, left school in February when her father was transferred to i-ondon. Margaret Vidas and Romona Men- czynski, ex '36 have entered the Chicago Medical School. Margaret did all her pre-medic work at Mundelein, while Romona spent her first year at the Uni versity of Indiana. We could almost classify radio work as an extra-curricular activity among the students here. Kathryn Wolford, one of our foremost pianists, is the latest to enter the ranks of our ether stars, and her fans may hear her every Saturday evening at 5:45 over station WCRW. Mercedes Beyer, Laetare player, as sisted in an audition at WCFL recently. Marion Morrison has cut her trip to and from school to approximately forty miles each by moving from Hammond to the south side of Chicago. However, as she can sleep only seven minutes later each -day, and no longer has her five- minute tardiness privilege, she thinks that there are rnore advantages in travel ing a greater distance. Marion Mulligan and Mary Rita Murphy spent their Columbus Day holi day in visiting the Carson Pirie Scott company Child Welfare-Exhibit, the Art Institute, and St. Vincent's Orphan Asy lum with the Institutional Visiting Class.

Mertz, re ligion: In relation to ecclesiastical his tory, I found the antiquaries of the Co lumbia University Exhibit in the Hall of Religion the most interesting. Run ning along with my work in English were the splendid Shakespearean produc tions in the English Village. Professor George M. Schmeing, in structor of chemistry, outlined his ideas of the value of the exhibits from three standpoints. The most interesting thing at the Fair is the pocket-exploring, six- weeks-old baby elephant in Frank Buck's collection. The most helpful of the ex hibits at the Hall of Science is the Galton Quincunx of the Mathematics Exhibit. The most valuable thing at the Fair'is the Globe Theateri
