m JT -.', OFFICERS Gretchen Kretschmer Genevieve McClevey Mary Toohey Vice-President Secretary Treasurer THE JUNIOR CLASS The junior class, though small, is full of initiative and spirit. It has been fortunate from the first in its selection of leaders, the officers of last year having contributed much to the welding of its thirty-odd members, who were already imbued with the attitudes and ideals of other schools, into an organic whole. working zealously at the great task of establishing traditions, customs, and college spirit at Mundelein. This year's officers: Alary Loyola Hogan, president; Gretchen Kretschmer, vice-president; Genevieve McClevey, secretary; and Mary Toohey, treasurer, have followed the precedent of whole-hearted service established by their predecessors. Every junior is active in some organization of her school, and almost every society knows the enthusiasm of its junior partisans. The Social Service Committee is headed by a junior. Die Rothensteiner Gesellschaft, the Chemistry Club, the Glee Club, the Stylus Club, the Laetare Players, the Orchestra, the Women's Athletic Association each bears the name of one or more juniors upon the roster of members. Among the numerous activities engaged in by the juniors, writing holds a prominent place, several members of the class, one of whom is a staff member, being frequent contributors to the Clepsydra, and others to the Sky- craper. while two juniors served on the Tower staff. Despite the small size of the group and the many demands upon their time, a basketball team was recruited from their ranks and engaged in lively contests with other teams. These activities represent an interest in the intellectual, spiritual, physical, and social endeavors of the school. Junior social life was inaugurated with a bridge party in September, at which the new juniors were able really to become acquainted with their classmates. ge 52 Top Eou D. Weldon, C. DeBiase, G.

THE JUNIOR CLASS This bridge was closely followed by another at which the seniors were the guests of honor, a delightful and informal affair, concluding with a buffet supper. At the annual bazaar which took place just before Christmas, the juniors presided over the wheel of fortune and the bingo games, while a junior St. Nicholas kept merry custody over the ever-popular grab-bag. Lastly, the Junior Prom, with its whirl of color and merriment, made a fitting climax to the round of activities. The richly-lighted Tower and Gold rooms of the Drake Hotel, the gay dresses, the laughter, the enchanting music, all have merged into a dream of unforgettable delight, to be cherished by each participant as a brilliant jewel in her school-day memories. It is no small credit to the loyalty and ambition of the class, and particularly to the committee in charge Alary Loyola Hogan, Gretchen Kretschmer, Genevieve McClevey, Alary Toohey, Alargarette Nolan, Doris Barnett, and Alice Lyon that the Prom was a complete success. The fact that the juniors returned to Alundelein in September almost en masse shows how happy last year was. But if we thought that last year was the best that could be, we made a mistake, for this year has proved to be even better. The acquaintanceships begun in our sophomore year have been cemented into strong and sincere friendships. The spirit of initiative that only peeped out of us as sophomores has emerged, fully matured. We are ready now to don caps and gowns and, as the seniors of '33, to take our places for the coming year. Page 53
