Junior Marianne Harte and sophomores Roselle Delisi and Mary Anne Hoope fulfilled this dream by studying at Laval Uni versity in Quebec for six weeks this past summer. EARLY IN JULY the girls eag erly packed their bags and boarded the train for the ultramodern sub urb of Sillery where French fami lies met them. Treated as mem bers of the families, the girls con versed only in French getting a head start on their classes when they joined 3,000 summer school students from all over the world at Laval. The trio carried four courses apiece plus an extra class in French folklore to learn native songs and dances. Classes lasted from 8:30 to 4 p.m. After this the girls were on their own. However, the uni versity planned several daytime ex cursions for the students. These included visits to the Shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre, the Plains of Abraham, the Saint Lawrence River, several smaller lakes and even the Quebec Zoo. They could also take advantage of several evening soirees, moon light cruises on the St. Lawrence River and a concert under the stars. An extra occurred when 5,000 An napolis midshipmen landed.

The dances are planned to give shut-in patients a glimmer of the outer world. Mundelein girls have acted as hostesses for the past decade. The hospital has awarded the college a certificate of merit for the ten years' service. Sister Mary Syra and Sister Mary Donald were presented with the certificate at a Red Cross tea given at Chicago Headquarters. Mr. William Flynn, director of student activity for the Red Cross, and Mrs. Patricia Albert, director of college activity, urged student participation in the dances at a re cent senior class meeting. dance with the female students of the university. At the end of the session all the students cooperated in producing their own variety show. AMBLING ABOUT the quaint city of Quebec also occupied the girls' spare time. They explained that walking is an old favorite pas time of *he French. On the girls' jaunt.. i.ney found that the people of Quebec were the friendliest they had ever encountered. Even though most of the natives of Quebec speak English they went out of their way to give the girls tips on French. Piped-in music made even bus rides a pleasant experience. Museum Shows Travel Films Coloi-ful countries display the warmth of their culture and cus toms in a series of world-tour films given now at the Chicago Natural History Museum until the end of November. Sister Mary Ligouri, B.V.M., head of the sociology department, recommends these films to her students as an aid in their study of man. Although the films are primarily travelogues, many social customs are also featured. Because of the attractiveness and availability of this series, Sister urges all students to participate in viewing as many as possible. Showings are every Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in the James Simpson Theater in the museum. The films are in color and the narrations are live. Some of the subjects will include Peru, New Zealand, Cypress and Spain.

College Announces Scholarship Change Scholarship applicants and their parents learned of the new policy of awarding scholarships adopted by Mundelein to give more good students the opportunity of a col lege education. The innovation was discussed at this year's Mundelein Scholarship Conference, Oct. 22. Scholarship giants for the 1962- 63 and subsequent academic years will be awarded on the basis of ap plicants' rank in the top quarter of their high school classes and schol arship exam performances, but will vary with individual need. MUNDELEIN, as a participant in the College Scholarship Service of the College Entrance Examina tion Board, will consider the neces sity of financial aid as assessed by the CSS. All scholarship winners will re ceive a 50 honorary grant per semester, but additional grants are to be based on Parents' Confiden tial Statements. SISTER MARY IGNATIA, B.V.M., dean of studies, said that the college is pleased to be among 389 American colleges and univer sities participating in the CSS plan. She made clear, however, that scholarships presently held by stu dents will not be affected by the new method and will be renewed as in the past. Art Show Features Interior Designs, Geometric Shapes Interior design and geometric shapes are currently showing in the new art gallery on the eighth floor.
