V.M., there is real material for an inter view. The Most Reverend Michael J. Curley, D.D., Archbishop of Baltimore, had, on the previous afternoon, Nov. 20, visited Mundelein College in company with the Very Reverend Thomas F. Quinn, one of Mundelein's benefactors. As he entered the room now, with a pleasant How's the journalist this morn ing? one sensed a feeling of capability, power, and kindliness. His Grace was generous in his praise of all things at Mundelein. The very form of the building is dif ferent a skyscraper college The physi cal equipment is novel and yet practical; the entire equipment is ideal; in fact, it's dumbfounding, and I know that the acad emic work is kept on a par with it. Yes, you have splendid teachers there, whose Order is prominent throughout the Middle West. They have the qualities necessary for good teachers; that is, they are first of all, good religious, and then splendid teachers. I am only sorry that the East doesn't know them. (Continued on page 4, col. S) Debate Team Scores In First Radio Meet PAPAL DELEGATE VISITS COLLEGE; GIVES BLESSING Ruth Tangney and Margaret Cleary represented Mundelein in a radio debate with St. Viator's college over WCFL, at 4 o'clock on Sunday, Nov. 19.

Meets Students and Declares Holiday After Tour of Building Alumnae Establish New Tradition With Homecoming Sunday Another Mundelein tradition was es tablished when the College Alumnae as sociation held its first Homecoming on Nov. 12. Holy Mass in Stella Maris Chapel at 10 o'clock, celebrated by the Reverend Francis J. Gerst, S.J., dean of the grad uate school of Loyola University, opened the ceremony. In his brief sermon, Father Gerst re minded the former students that the pur pose of the Alumnae association is. pri marily, to keep them in touch with their College, the fountain head ol their youthful inspirations. and urged them to maintain a loyal and interested con tact with their alma mater. Huge centerpieces of talisman roses decorated the breakfast tables in the caf eteria, where Father Gerst and the mem bers of the alumnae were guests, and a tiny cap-and-gown graduate marked the place of each. Miss Chesa Wolniewicz, president of the association, and board members, wore gardenias with tiny red and gold ribbons attached. The following members of the alumnae were present: Chesa Wolniewicz, Elean or Joyce, Clare Allender, Mary Bruun, Mary Ann Farmer, Virginia Fischer, Margaret Gavin, Margaret Hanrahan, Lenore Healy, Elaine Krambles, Anna merle Kramer, Josephine McGurn, Lil lian O'Keefe, Dorothy Riley, Janet Rut- tenberg, and Edith Slattery, all of the class of '32. (Continued on Page 4, Col. 1) Gay-Jacketed Volumes Brighten Library Stacks Last week the country celebrated an other national Book Week. Aside from the fact that this is an established cus tom, it is the high festival of the Munde lein College library as well. During these days, students and faculty alike celebrate a Roman holiday in the browsing corner. The upper classmen have come to look upon Book Week at the college as a harvest feast, for it is at this time annually that the librarian buys most of the new books, which are immediately on display in the browsing corner in novel arrangements. One of the most interesting shelves this year was the one which housed the Chicago books since it was indirectly lighted, and the fan-like shadows cast by large open books were reminiscent of the lighting at a Century of Progress. (Continued on page 4, col. 1) Gives Faculty Novel Thanksgiving Message His Excellency, the Most Reverend Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, stopped long enough at the College on Wednes day morning, Nov. 22, to see the build ing, to give a brief address, and to be stow the Apostolic blessing upon the Faculty and students. The Very Reverend Joseph P. Morri son, rector of Holy Name Cathedral, accompanied his Excellency and pre sented him to the assembly. In his introductory speech, Father Morrison remarked that he is a former pupil of the Sisters of Charity, B.V.M., and that it seemed singularly fitting that he should have the privilege of bringing to the College so distinguished a visitor during the Centennial year of the Com munity. Mundelein is the only College His Excellency visited in Chicago. In addressing the students, His Ex cellency, in short, clipped words, likened the College to a home, declaring that although the parental homes of the stu dents might be changed or moved, their college home, their alma mater, would be a real and a permanent home to them. At the close of his address, His Ex cellency endeared himself to all by pro claiming a holiday. Having given the Papal blessing, the Archbishop left the auditorium, and met the members of the Student Activities Council and representatives of the Col lege publications who thanked him for the honor he had paid to Mundelein and for his proposal of a holiday. A distinguished Thanksgiving blessing was accorded the Mundelein Faculty last Monday when the Secretary of the Apostolic Delegate to the United States left the following Message for them. / congratulate the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary for their wonderful work in the beautiful Munde lein College in Chicago, and I wish the best blessings of God for the Catholic education of the girls who are under their care. Monsigxor Egidio Vagnozzi, Secretary of the Apostolic Delegation. The Most Reverend Monsignor, who is in Chicago for the Conference of Catholic Charities, visited the College on Nov. 20. Centennial Is Theme For First Clepsydra The Centennial number of the Clepsy dra, College literary quarterly, is being distributed today. This issue commemo rates the Centenary of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Century of Progress. The centennial theme runs throughout the entire magazine. A Valiant Woman, a sonnet to the memory of Mother Mary Francis Clarke, by Mary Agnes Tynan, is the frontispiece. Pen and ink illus trations of scenes from the history of the community, feature stories, short stories, and poems are included in this year's first Clepsydra. The book review section, Library Table, is featuring a new plan with a definite type of book to be reviewed each number. The medieval theme is presented in this issue. Freshmen, as well as all other students, are invited to contribute original work. Making Sets for Nine Till Six Irene Galvin and Kathryn Walsh NINE TILL SIX TO BE PRESENTED ON SUNDAY NIGHT Cast Wear Martha Weathered Gowns; Tuesday Night Is Formal Last-minute reports on Nine Till Six reveal that the gowns used in the Bond street salon scene are being lent through the courtesy of the Martha Weathered shop on Michigan boulevard. Sallie Agnes Smith's costume is flame red velvet with Stunning sleeves, and set off by a gleaming silver buckle. For Roma Murphy there is a dress of blue metal cloth trimmed with floating bits of fragile tulle, and there are gold bows and flounces at the shoulder and skirt of Virginia Sweeney's green dress to reflect her golden hair. A strikingly sophisticated dress of stiff Sanie cloth glittering with tiny gold sequins on black and gold dots is to be worn by Mary Frances Hoban, and in contrast Janette Brennan is very demure in gold taffeta, simply cut. Another recent bulletin is that Tuesday night is formal night, so come Tuesday night to see both the audience and the actors. The College Orchestra will play at both performances. Double casts have been prepared for the leading roles in the play. The names of those who will play on Sunday eve ning are listed first and those who will play Tuesday are second. The cast is as follows: Mrs. Pem broke, Penelope Haloulos, Marion Ryan; Miss Roberts, Ruth Hazle, Mercedes Beyer; Freda, Frances Burke, Kathryn Walsh; Gracie, Geraldine Gardiner, Dor othy White; Clare Pembroke, Mary (Continued on page 3 col. 3) Hammers, Chisels And Paint Brushes Supplant Textbooks By Marion Mulligan A rasping noise, alternating with pro longed poundings and hammerings, emerg ing from the basement could be ex plained only by the erection of some sort of strange machine in the drama work shop. Conquering a womanly timidity, I crept down the corridor to investigate. A blonde gentleman in blue coveralls allayed my fears and introduced himself as Carl C. Johnson, the new instructor of the stage design class, a Yale man, and technical director of Goodman theatre for two years. My entrance gained only a cursory glance from the busy workers. I mounted the saw horse (property of Mr. Conley, our cosmopolitan Irish engineer), be cause there was no other perch available. From this point of vantage, I espied in a far comer two earnest-faced speech ma jors of the cast of Nine Till Six. The blonde girl dextrously waving the glue brush proved to be Ruth Hazle, and her assistant, a serious-looking student in blue-ruffled apron, pasting scenic can vas on wooden framework, was identified as Mary Frances Hoban. You see, said Mr. Johnson in reply to my question, we are constructing a series of grill-work panels to be used in the reception room set for the new pro duction. The panels in various shades of red, blue and gold carry a distinct modern note which is also brought out in the modernistic furniture. (Continued on page 3 col. 1)
