Psychology Majors See Hummel Art Work Discuss Careers For Graduates fou Can Live )angerously it The Movies Emerging from a clutter of note- loks, wood-piles of pencil stubs, and btterhorns of text books, I sought spite by immersing myself for awhile tone of the more recent offerings of cinema. What matter if it was Saturday af- inoon and a cowboy epic was cur- tly riddling patron's eardrums? I Id heard dark tales of the little peo- t (grammar school set) who invaded f premises under such circumstan- js. But, after all, I was a collegian. Firmly ensconced in a seat, I was fcig sucked in by the gallop-ing ad- lntures of Slim and Sam. Sam was ping, We can overtake them at the 45S, and ... /Save my seat, please. Sam's voice id changed.

SL Examining prints, plaques, and figurines in the Hummel collection are German students Joan Ackerman, Mary Frances Welsh, and Dorothy Hertl. Hummel Collection Includes Popular Pictures, Figurines At the spring meeting of the Cath olic Language Teachers association, Sister Mary Callista, B.V.M., chairman of the German department, told of her collection of Hummel prints and fig urines. Of the 576 prints known to have been designed by Sister Mary Innocentia, or Berta Hummel, Sister Mary Cal lista has 460. Most of them were made in Germany, and sent from the Sicssen convent where Sister Mary Innocentia lived until her death in 1946. Thirteen pencil sketches, some light ly colored, from Berta Hummel's sketchbook are included in the collec tion. One unique print of the Little Flower is a reproduction of the large painting which hung in Sister Inno- centia's room. Liturgical motifs are painted on Gothic chasubles or religious banners. A small feast-day card pictures a way side cross with two chubby, angelic children gazing at Christ. Berta Hummel molded only one fig urine, called the Infant of Krumbad, which has been reproduced by the Wilhelm Boebel company in Germany. The Mundelein collection includes 3 reproductions. Many of the Hummel paintings have been cast as figures, however, and there are 25 of these in the Mundelein collection. Sister Mary Innocentia was proud of the fact that Hummel means the bum ble bee. On many of her prints, a bumble bee hides among the petals of a flower, or flies over the head of the figure. The symbolism is used in the figurines.
