Survey Shows 2,7IO Increase in 1958-59 Library Circulation Mundelein readers wi hdrew ap proximately 20 books apiece from Jie library this year according to a sur vey conducted by Sister Mary Clara, B.V.M., head librarian. The 1958-59 circulation totalled 22,387 for the months September to April. Last year's total was 19,677. The increase per month ran from 600 to 1,000 more per month during the first semester, which can be attributed to open stacks, said Sister Mary Clara. The second semester ran lower with the greatest decrease in March. How ever, March had two fewer days of classes than last year. The total gain was 2,710 which aver ages more than two books per student. REDECORATING ?

Loretta Kinzig won't waste much time, either, in board ing the first ship for Europe. Ann Kielty and Sue Durburg are heading west to California. WHERE WERE WE? Jacqueline Dupon spent part of the first semester touring 14 European countries. Our extensive crew cf correspondents slipped up on that one. Dorothy Kennedy, the society editor tells us, was Military Ball queen at the University of Illinois. Helen Steadman was queen of all the Pi Kappa Phi brothers. CHA CHA CHA Eleanor Ferraina left her easel at home and went to the Artists' Ball. Mary Ann Walczak went dancing at St. Joseph's Senior Prom, and Mary Ellen Burg journeyed to Purdue for the Alpha Sigma Phi dinner. MISCELLANY: Virginia Laedner and Barbara Gaynor joined the crowds applauding Music Man. It seems we went through this once before when that other musical was in town. My Fair Something-or-other, wasn't it? Fran Fuller won the Phi Beta Pi door prize at one of the fraternity's Fri day night soirees. The prize was a radio and oddly enough it only plays The Sweetheart of Phi Beta Pi.

Now Is the Time for All Collegians To Remember A glance at the calendar reveals that seven class days remain for Mun- dclites and only seven more college days for seniors. Flipping back the pages on that calendar may indicate just what filled the past nine months to make them pass so quickly. SEPTEMBER was a month of firsts for freshmen, a month of renewals for others. We welcomed a new Chancellor as well as 14 new faculty members. We came away from the Mass of the Holy Spirit filled with a desire prudently to study, rightly to understand and perfectly to fulfill all that is pleasing to Him. When we weren't studying our texts, we studied the construction project across the street. In October, the auditorium became a chapel once again as we prayed for Pope Pius XII. We took time out to get acquainted with both fellow class mates and with clubs. The more agile among us even hula-hooped at the Economics club booth. Margaret Webster demonstrated how to enjoy Shakespeare without tears. The ini tials BG became a familiar sight as Studs Terkel whetted our appetite for the revival of the Swing Era at Or chestra Hall. November began with congratu lations for BVMs on the faculty for the 125th anniversary of their Congregation. After learning about Russia from Dr. Urban Fleege, we delved into the French symbolism of Marianne, first presentation of the foreign film festival. In a lighter mood, we laughed at The Loud Red Pat- By Mary Gart rick. Climaxing the month was the Cotillion sponsored by the sophomores at the Sheraton. During December we commuted be tween the Skyscraper and the library in a feverish effort to complete re search papers due the last class be fore vacation. The music depart ment sparked our Christmas spirit with song and tableaux. We, in turn, cast our spirit across the city in the form of a cross. For the first time a queen reigned over the Skyscraper Ball. AFTER THE Christmas holidays, the locker rooms were again the scene of the ungloving of a new collection of diamonds. But January also means study and exams. We enjoyed the semester break whether we spent a winter week end tobogganing or stayed home by the fire. In my case, when we returned a large sign greeted us with the sad tidings The Party's Over. The thought of comprehensives blots out all other memories of Feb ruary for seniors, but others still re call how we retreated from the world for three days in preparation for Lent. The intellectually fittest also survived the Darwin lectures. In March we resisted the temp tation to become too comfortable in the new study lounge as we studied for midsemester exams. We considered Thomism with Sis ter Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., and then recessed to commemorate the Resurrection. April was the month of the fine arts. r*l After hearing about modern art fro. Dr. Molnar, we critically analyzed thb works contributed to the mid-weat col legiate exhibit. Jean Erdman capti vated us with her dancing while Ruth Mary Fox inspired us with her ac complishments. The Pan-American dinner and the Mexican film, Maria Candelaria, added a Spanish flavor to the month while Juniors chased away its showers with their prom at the Sheraton. IN MAY we contemplated, nomi nated and elected. We honored Our Lady and then honored our senior scholars on College day. We cele brated at the Fair and then explored the dark continent at the African In stitute. Before the month is over we'll live through exams once more and dance once more at the Senior Ball.
